Chapter 488: Boom

Nangong Zhi stood on the lookout and was stunned for a long time.

He was really stupid by the way the country of Qixia was fighting.

To say 1,500,000 artillery shells is 1,500,000 is really uncompromised, or even more! And the range of artillery is generally more than 30 kilometers!

Trains are arriving, soldiers are arriving, artillery is arriving, and shells are coming!

The soldiers of the country of Qixia shouted excitedly - originally in Nangong Zhi's expectation, the army of the country of Qixia should be unwilling, and they didn't want the morale of the other party to be so high-pitched.

Not only that, but the way of war in the country of Qixia also made Nangong Zhi twitch constantly - it's all money!

Nangong Zhi saw with his own eyes that the artillery of the country of Qixia has increased from 200 to 400, and has increased to 3,800 now. Among them, 300 mm and 460 mm, there are 2,400 seats.

There are 100 mm, 160 mm, 240 mm, 300 mm, and 460 mm caliber of artillery. At the moment, the main ones are 300 mm and 460 mm. 240mm seat assist. The rest of the small calibers, which are not enabled for the time being.

Every salvo fired by these guns shook the ground, and the ground and rocks around the guns were shattered.

The artillerymen of the country of Qixia flew around excitedly carrying heavy shells. The soldiers carrying the shells, stretching from the rear warehouses to the artillery arrays in the front, stretched endlessly, as if forming a shell transport line.

Trains roared further behind, and a large number of shells continued to arrive. After perceiving the benefits of the railway, Nangong Zhi had already repaired the railway to the front line.

And because the country of Qixia was temporarily short of manpower, Nangong Zhi had to send part of his own army over to help carry the shells.

At this time, the artillery had been ringing for half a day, and the speed of more than 2,400 guns was a bit low because they were firing in a salvo, but they could still project about 2 to 3 shells per minute, that is, about 6,000 shells, and about 360,000 shells in an hour.

Half a day of attack, long ago more than 1.5 million shells. The sky was already enveloped in the smell of gunsmoke. And the shelling is still not over, and the artillery continues to increase.

The train kept shuttling and sending a steady stream of shells.

Affected by the morale of the country of Qixia, the morale of the legions on Nangong Zhi's side has been re-improved, while the other party, that is, the legions of the country of Southern Tang and the legions of the free faction, is another matter.

Nangong Zhi looked at it with infinite emotion. This kind of war is also affordable in the country of Qixia. Even if the technology is now revealed, the price of a 300 mm shell is still as high as one high-grade spirit stone, and a 460 mm shell costs three high-grade spirit stones. Don't forget that the shells of the shells produced by the Dayang Group are made of inferior steel.

These inferior steels are fragile, but the shards are extremely sharp and hard. It's like high-grade pig iron. Ordinary magic weapon shields may not be able to completely defend against such shrapnel.

The Imperial Family of the Land of Suxia also has an arsenal, but it also procures low-quality steel from the Daeyang Group. These inferior steels are used exclusively for the production of artillery shells.

In just half a day, about two million shells have been fired. Half of 300-mm and 460-mm shells. The cost of the cannonball is more than four million high-grade spirit stones - this is the military expenditure of the country of Qixia in the past, a year!

But with such a crazy waste, the effect is also significant. Ahead, the legions of the Southern Tang Kingdom had already collapsed, and the fortifications, trenches, defensive barriers, city walls, etc., were all in ruins. Countless soldiers died in the fire.

Obviously, the country of Southern Tang and even the army of the Xiaoyao faction did not have the preparation and experience to deal with such an attack. As a large number of soldiers died, the rest gradually broke their hearts. A large number of soldiers began to flee, and the overseers in the rear could not kill them. Even many of the soldiers of the Overseer were killed and trampled to death by deserters.

"The hell is endless!" "In the country of Southern Tang, the head of the Ming Quan Dao, who was the prison army, jumped to his feet angrily!

Daoist Mingquan is also very pitiful to say, Master Dingshan Daoist ...... He's dead. The best disciple Ma Jianliang ...... Dead, sunk at the same time as the battleship.

You know, in the world of practice, the relationship between master and disciple is very sacred, and sometimes it even transcends the relationship between father and son. In particular, many practitioners start to practice with the Master after they are young, and they are truly close to each other.

The angry Mingquan Taoist had no intention of practicing, so he volunteered to join the army. He has no military talent, but it doesn't matter, he can serve as a military supervisor, overseeing the war at the front, or as a messenger for the freeman and the local legions.

It's just that today, Daoist Mingquan was angry again—he had never seen such a shameless war! The other side would not relax when he seized a strategic pivot. In half a day, at least two million shells were poured!

Lose your marbles!

Although this hub is well built, it cannot withstand such indiscriminate bombardment. In particular, the opponent's attack distance is more than 30 kilometers, or even 40 kilometers. This led to the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty being in a situation where it could only be passively beaten.

After several attempts, they were torn apart by artillery fire, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army were cleared by the opponent's elite with a single charge.

War is no longer about strategy at all. People are desperately burning money!

The biggest problem now is: I can't burn people here. Fortifications built at great cost were theoretically enough to withstand the dense artillery fire - but it was so dense that I could reason with it!

The defensive barrier collapsed, the walls crumbled, and finally the soldiers collapsed.

The head of the Naruzumi Dao dodged a cannonball, but he was dazzled by the explosion, and his whole body was already very embarrassed. He glanced around, and there was a miserable scene.

Half a day ago, more than 300,000 elites were stationed here, and the defense here was also impregnable and morale high. Half a day later, the place was in a mess, more than 300,000 elites, at least more than 100,000 were killed on the spot, and the rest fled and scattered.

Even the commander-in-chief was seriously injured and had to take the lead in running away - in the name of strategic shift.

This is definitely the most absurd war that Narakizumi Dao Priest has ever seen and experienced! Before anyone even saw each other, a war was over.

In fact, this is also the most absurd war that Nangong Zhi and many generals of the Shaoze Country, the Canglan Country, and the Northern Tang Dynasty have seen.

The two sides were separated by more than thirty kilometers and the war was launched.

There were zero casualties on one side, and the military expenditure exceeded four million high-grade spirit stones, and the legion remained unchanged.

One side suffered heavy casualties, the army was crushed, and the fortifications were blown into sand.

After it was determined that the front was completely defeated, Gu Xingdong ordered to stop the shelling.

Nangong Zhi came over cautiously and asked, "General Gu, do you want to go over to pursue?"

Gu Xingdong waved his hand casually: "You guys go over and pursue, we don't want any loot or anything." We're going to transfer. ”

"Transfer?" Nangong Zhi continued to be stunned.

Gu Xingdong pointed to a large strategic hub in the north on the map, "This is the imperial capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”

"Yes. Nangong Zhi nodded.

Gu Xingdong smiled proudly: "We have prepared five million shells for the imperial capital!"
