Chapter 363: Eve
Time goes back to the evening, when the sun is setting in the west, and when the court of the country of Qingyun is discussing the division of the country of Qixia, the southern part of the country of green clouds and the checkpoint bordering the country of Taihua are brewing changes.
Lan Jianwu, the general of the Shangzhu State of the Taihua Country, was standing on his own checkpoint and looking at the Qingyun Country checkpoint opposite.
After looking at it for a while, he turned his head and asked Duan Baili, the deputy general who had just arrived next to him, "How is the excavation of the tunnel? Is the gunpowder all arranged?"
"General, three tunnels have been dug up. The average depth is more than 500 zhang (about 1,670 meters). More than thirty spaces were excavated at the end of each tunnel, leaving at least 20 tons of gunpowder in each space. ”
"Is it ordinary black powder, or is it that high-grade gunpowder?"
"Ordinary black powder. This stuff is cheap and has a lot of money. Put more and the effect is just as good.
According to the engineers of the Ocean Group, in a confined environment, 10 tons of ordinary gunpowder is enough to destroy the world. Each of our spaces is about 20 tons, a total of about 2,000 tons of gunpowder, which is enough to send the level of the country of green clouds to the top of the green clouds, hehe......
Of the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the country of green clouds, it is estimated that there will not be a few left.
Now that some of them are arranged, it's just time to wait for the ignition. ”
Lan Jianwu took out the design drawing, looked at it for a while, and nodded with satisfaction. "Get everyone ready to raise the defensive enchantment against the blast of the explosion. Check if there are any personnel left in the tunnel.
At sunset, light the fire!"
"Yes. Duan Baili quickly ordered to go down, and when things were done, he hesitated, "General, I'll ...... A few doubts......"
"Say, I've seen it a long time ago. Being able to endure it until now has made me look up to you. ”
"Hehe......" In front of Lan Jianwu, Duan Baili showed a childlike smirk, "General, although there is some hatred between us and the country of Qingyun, why should we help the country of Qixia?"
The country of Qixia let us fight the country of green clouds, and we will fight?!
If you want me to say, how good it would be for us to attack the country of Qixia and snatch the technology and talents of the country of Qixia. Then we will be able to develop quickly!"
"Hehe......" Lan Jianwu smiled, "You, if you are still like this, you can only be a general in the future, not a handsome! Open the map and take a look, look at the location of each country, and reconsider it carefully." ”
Duan Baili opened the map and watched with a frown:
.. Yan Yun ...... The Land of Clouds
... Zhoushan... Zhongshan...*Taihua*
Qi Xia... Jinyang¥¥***
.... Dan yang... ¥Canglan¥
After waiting for a while, Lan Jianwu pointed to the map and said, "Look, our Taihua Country is located inside the continent, even if we participate in the war against the Qixia Country, how much benefit can we get after victory? Most of the benefits are obtained by the rest of the country." The benefits we get are minimal.
If the country of Qixia is destroyed, the country of Jinyang to our west will grow, and that will not be a good thing for us. Moreover, the country of Jinyang and the country of Qingyun in the north are now in collusion, and the country of Qingyun is eyeing us again.
If the country of Qixia is destroyed, I am afraid that the country of Jinyang and the country of Qingyun will immediately turn the spearhead at us!
In contrast, it is better to cooperate with the country of Qixia. You see, just after cooperating, we got gunpowder technology, dark iron technology, and artillery technology.
Moreover, the country of Qixia promised that the country of Qixia would occupy the five western countries and assist us in occupying the country of Qingyun. ”
Duan Baili frowned and thought for a long time, and asked, "Can you believe the words of the country of Qixia?"
"It should be believable. The current country of Qixia seems to regard credibility as a precious resource. They should not be untrustworthy in such matters. ”
As he spoke, the actual person in charge of all the underpasses came to report, and all the people in the underpasses had been withdrawn and could be lit at any time.
Lan Jianwu glanced at the opposite side, the sun had already set, the dark red sunset in the sky was drifting, and there were already lights on the opposite side.
"Ignition!" Lan Jianwu ordered.
After a few people left, Lan Jianwu sighed, the rules of war ...... It's changed, it's getting stranger.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a sudden fire rushing out of the ground in the distance, and then the flames soared into the sky, the mountain peaks shattered, and endless rocks rushed into the sky. The whole mountain ridge is rising from the ground!
In the period of incarnation, there is nothing that can be done!
In the next moment, the earth roared and the sky thundered like a thunderous explosion. The earth was like a drum, trembling madly, and the level below him was shaky.
The peaks and checkpoints that stretched for about ten kilometers in front of them collapsed like building blocks and erupted like volcanoes, and the firelight reflected the earth and the afterglow of the sunset in the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed in the explosion or buried alive at the border pass of the Land of Green Clouds. In such a crazy explosion, the foundation building period can only rely on luck to survive, and only the Jindan period is qualified to save life.
Because the gunpowder was buried too deep and because the mountain peaks were too high, the power of the explosion had been reduced a lot. But after all, it is more than two thousand tons of gunpowder, although it is only ordinary gunpowder.
The formation enchantments and other aspects of the level were completely scrapped, the mountain peaks were all removed, and the formation foundation built by relying on the mountain peaks was not spared.
The explosion lasted three to five minutes, but billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky. The rocks are rolling, and the former level has long been gone.
Standing at the checkpoint of the country of Taihua, Lan Jianwu looked at the gravel that kept falling from the sky, and his eyes were deep. These gravels span more than ten kilometers, and the defensive barrier of the Taihua Country checkpoint that is still smashed is sparkling, and some of the gravel is several meters in size, and the attack power is not weaker than that of the foundation building period.
Amid the sound of the explosion, there were a lot of dying screams and screams. There is also a roar of masters.
Billowing smoke and dust rushed into the sky, obscuring the afterglow of the setting sun, and the sky and the earth were dark.
"Attack!" Lan Jianwu coldly ordered, and all the elites above the foundation building period rushed out, and a killing began. Prisoners or something, non-existent.
This is a surprise attack, and naturally there will be no prisoners.
Then the main body of the army marched out, searched along the mountains, and killed and buried all the enemies. After dark, only a few of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Qingyun Country checkpoint escaped from the Yuan Infant Stage and the Jindan Period, and most of them failed to escape. Including, here the commander-in-chief.
At this station, the vitality of the country of Qingyun was greatly damaged, and at least a quarter of the elite in the country was wiped out. In an instant, the country of green clouds had to switch from strategic offensive to strategic defense.
By the time the news reached the hands of the Emperor of the Qingyun Kingdom, Lan Jianwu had already led more than 30,000 masters above the foundation building period, frantically turned to attack more than 200 kilometers, killed the main forces and masters of the two counties, and approached the third county.
By the time the Qingyun Kingdom finally responded, Lan Jianwu had already destroyed the third county and began to consolidate the results. and personally led some masters to find a place to set up an ambush.
At the same time, the army began to raid the house in the rear, and took the children and grandchildren of various local families as hostages, and transferred the good hands of each family to form a puppet army.
After dawn, the masters of the two sides fought against each other, and their colleagues had to take the initiative to retreat and enter the stalemate stage.
But as the stalemate progressed, the artillery corps of the land of Taihua began to catch up. By noon, less than 20 hours before the start of the station, the Taihua Legion began to advance again. More than 10,000 puppet legions that had been rectified overnight were forced to rush forward.
At this point, the country of green clouds has not only lost about a quarter of its military strength, but has also suffered a serious blow to the country's confidence in the war -- hundreds of thousands of elite border guards have just disappeared in ashes, and it is not scary! Is there anything more terrifying than this?
Hundreds of thousands, it's an elite, but it's not a civilian!
Cui Hongyan, the general of the Shangzhu State of the Land of Qingyun, stood on the front line, watching the cannonballs rain down, and his face was completely gloomy. "We have been calculated by the country of Qixia! And this country of Taihua is actually at odds with the country of Qixia. ”
The prince, who came over to supervise the army and encourage morale, said coldly: "General, now is not the time to talk about this. ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, everything is not irreparably bad yet. The opponent is fighting a blitzkrieg, and the rear defense will be relatively weak.
On the one hand, we should make full use of our local advantages to prevent the other side from advancing, and on the other hand, we should send our masters to harass behind enemy lines, delay as much time as possible, and give the domestic legions time to deploy troops. ”
But the crown prince of the country of green clouds was extraordinary, he looked at the map and said slowly: "General, I have an idea: according to normal circumstances, we should be on the defensive now. But can we take the initiative and not give the other side time to consolidate the occupied territories?
The front line is defensive, and the general can lead some masters to raid behind enemy lines, destroy the opponent's artillery, etc., or carry baggage. Even, it is okay to kill the protons of the various families they have seized.
I remember that Zhang Hao, who once lived in the country of Xiaxia, once proposed a strategic method, that is...... The people's war.
I'll expand it a little more, this time we don't fight positional warfare, we completely carry out master spurs, cut the legions of the country of Taihua, come to chaos and fight fast, and then tear the army of the country of Taihua apart and completely drown in our people!
The country of Taihua is an invasion, and the hundreds of thousands of elites who perished before have also made almost every family in the nearby counties wear filial piety. As long as we create a condition and give some rewards, it will be enough to drag the other party's elite to death in this occupied area!"
Shangzhu State General Cui Hongyan's eyes suddenly lit up, he thought carefully for a while, and exclaimed: "Your Highness is wise." It works. However, it is necessary to give ordinary people a lot of weapons. ”
"No problem! Didn't we eliminate the equipment once a year ago, and we can arrange it. ”
"The equipment will be arranged by His Highness, and I will lead the master to raid, and I can't give the other party time to breathe and think. ”
So in the evening, more than 7,000 masters of the Qingyun Country who were above the Jindan stage divided into three ways and raided the rear of the army of the Taihua Country. The country of Taihua, which was caught off guard, suffered heavy losses and had to shrink up.
Lan Jianwu, the general of the Shangzhu State of the Taihua Country, was not a mediocre person, he was keenly aware of the crisis, and immediately retreated to defend. By this time, a great victory had already been achieved, so it was enough to hold a county and provide a base for the legions in the rear.
The army plundered the wealth of the other two counties and began to retreat. Leaving behind a white field, wailing all over the field.
Soon, a day passed, and the news had spread. The short but fierce confrontation between the country of Taihua and the country of Qingyun brought a huge shock to the west of the Fertile Land Continent.
The new and unfamiliar way of warfare has also made countless generals and commanders, as well as those in high positions, fall into contemplation.
