Chapter 181 Breakthrough
Under the threat of super heavy artillery, all the Japanese hid under the city wall in an attempt to avoid the first round of artillery attacks. Their own artillery quickly entered the attack state and planned to fight against our super heavy artillery. However, what made the Japanese depressed was that the situation that followed was completely unexpected.
"The elevation angle is sixty, the distance is threety, and ready to fire." With a neat command sound, all the super cannon barrels were raised, and behind the barrel a huge shell like a small yacht was pushed into the barrel with the assistance of several large machinery waiting for the launch command.
Before all the cannons on our side were ready, the Japanese fired fire first. It was obvious that they fired fire first in front of us. After all, small cannons also have the benefits of small cannons, at least the firing speed was much faster. A few seconds later, with a whistling sound, shells passed through our cannon positions and fell into the rear position. Small mushroom clouds instantly rose on the battlefield. The Japanese cannons had all been replaced with magic crystal steam shells. Although the shells were not large in size, they were amazingly powerful. The neat battle formations on our side instantly lacked several gaps, but the subsequent troops quickly cleared out the casualties and restocked the formation back to their complete state. This kind of artillery preparation before the war was inevitable. In the game, we cannot find people to dig trenches a few days in advance like in reality. There is no good way except hard heading.
Seeing the blockbusters of the troops that were knocked down by us, the Japanese observers couldn't help but screamed excitedly, and then the Japanese players hiding under the city wall also shouted happily. It was obvious that the observers above passed the news below to encourage everyone's morale, but their good mood could only end here. Although our cannons were loading a little slower, no matter how slow they were, we couldn't fire a single shot. Just as the Japanese were cheering for their own shelling results, the shelling on our side also began.
With the six orange magic balls launched, all the heavy artillery cannon positions immediately moved. All the people who were busy in the artillery jumped off the artillery cart and ran behind the cart and squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms. Then there was a muffled sound. Everyone standing around the artillery cart felt their feet trembling, and the ground seemed to be smashed by the artillery cart to sink a little. When everyone was back to balance, the huge artillery shells had already flown over the Japanese city wall, but the situation that followed made the unknowing stunned for a moment, because the shells did not hit the city wall after flying over the city wall, but opened the umbrella flowers in the sky and began to sway and slowly fell down.
"Huh? Why do Chinese shells have parachutes?" The Japanese in the city were stunned when they saw the parachutes blooming like flowers in the sky, but soon they understood why our shells were equipped with parachutes. After the parachute was opened and the speed stabilized, the shells suddenly exploded in the sky. However, it was not the shells themselves, but the shell shells. The shells of all shells exploded to both sides, revealing objects wrapped in the warheads. "Baga, it's a special cannon! We're fooled! Go back to the city wall, hurry up and hurry up!"
Although the commander among the Japanese players shouted loudly to others and rushed to the city wall, it was obviously too late to run back at this time. The shells hanging under the parachute in the sky exploded and exposed the third generation of mobile angels from our guild, a new version of mobile angels powered by magic crystal steam. These guys themselves are amazing in weight, and even if they are hung with parachutes, they are not very slow. The real function of these parachutes is to make the mobile angels face their heads upwards rather than really slow down. When they were launched, we adjusted the flight angle, so the height of the shells when they hit the city wall is not too exaggerated. With the structure of the mobile angels, even if they fall directly from this height, there will be no problem. Moreover, no matter how small the parachute is, it can always share some of the strength, so it will be damaged to make a ghost.
When the mobile angels were several meters above the top of the city wall, they cut off their parachutes and smashed them directly on the city wall. At this time, the fastest Japanese player had just climbed onto the city wall. As soon as the mobile angel landed, they turned to the Japanese player who rushed towards him. As soon as it flipped its wrist, the robot arm retracted its wrist, and a huge wolf-toothed sword slid out of its wrist. Then, in the stunned Japanese player, the Japanese player, the handle was even more than others.
The serrated teeth on the big wolf-tooth sword actually started to move, and soon the high-speed moving serrated teeth were completely connected into one piece. If you don't pay attention, you would think the blade of the giant sword was in a smooth shape. Of course, the Japanese players standing in front of it were very clear about the situation of this thing. After all, the constantly vibrating sword body and the huge friction sound all the time reminded him that it was not an ordinary sword. This thing was just a chain saw, and it was a kind of specialized use for cutting stones.
In the terrified eyes of the Japanese player, the mobile angel rushed straight to him without a pause, then raised his sword and cut the guy's upper body and his knife into two halves with one sword. Then, without waiting for the guy to die, the mobile angel took a step forward to block the stairs of the city. The Japanese players who rushed up later had no power to fight back in front of such a giant. They were all cut to the ground one by one by one. The blood quickly left the stairs along the slope to the stairs, making the entire passage of the city extremely slippery. The people who rushed up later became more and more difficult to move, but they had to rush up. After all, there were enemies outside the city, but none of them were on the city wall. How could this be a bad city?
After a small number of mobile angels blocked the intersection, the remaining mobile angels began to run towards the various city defense turrets connected to the city wall. At this time, the Japanese players on the turrets had also noticed the movements of the mobile angels. Some smart people quickly began to turn the turrets to aim at the connection point between the city wall and the turrets. They planned to use artillery to block the passage by relying on artillery. After all, the passage was only a little wide. As long as the cannon was flat, the passage could be completely blocked. Unless the opponent rushed over with the speed while they changed the shells, they would not want to get close to the turret.
Unfortunately, the Japanese players' idea was good, but their intelligence could not keep up. When they worked hard to lay the muzzle flat and aimed at the connecting channel, they found that the mobile angels that rushed to the other end of the channel suddenly stopped. Then one of the mobile angels suddenly popped up with a pair of wings. Then the mobile angels squatted down slightly, and then jumped up with force with the flames that suddenly spurted out from behind. The mobile angels, like steel giant, jumped up suddenly more than ten meters high, and then smashed on the operating table behind the turret. The personnel who were originally operating the cannon found that the target suddenly jumped from the muzzle and came behind them, all of whom were frightened and rolled down from the operating position.
They were all non-combatants who operated weapons. Not to mention super killers like mobile angels, even an ordinary player could kill them like chopping melons and vegetables. The resistance was meaningless. However, after running for a while, they found that the mobile angel did not catch up. Instead, they stopped at the door of the turret and raised their hand to fire a small rocket inside the turret, and then they saw it suddenly spread its wings and flew up. Before the player could figure out why the mobile angel suddenly ran away, he heard a loud bang and the entire turret was blown up by a huge fireball. All the slow-running operators nearby were knocked off the city wall by the shock wave and fell to death.
After quickly unplugging all the defense turrets, except for the motor angels guarding the passage, other motor angels took off and flew towards the independent turrets in the city. Originally, because we knew that the air force of our guild was powerful, the Japanese also prepared air defense weapons in the city, but what they didn't expect was that our motor angels did not fly into the city themselves but rushed in directly with cannons. And their anti-aircraft weapons did not expect to need to defend in the city, so most of them were laid near the city wall.
Almost all of them were fucked in the first round of attacks. Although the air defense points inside the city still have some defense, the mobile angels are injected with artificial souls, so their intelligence is not rigid. After discovering the air defense weapons, they immediately changed to approach the low altitude of the city streets. The Japanese air defense weapons can only be shot flat at most. There is no way for the mobile angels flying on the streets, because the height of the street is lower than their turrets, and the air defense weapons are aimed at no angle.
The mobile angels who successfully approached the turret in the city did not entangle with them. They popped up small magic crystal steam missiles from their wrists and fired them into the turret, and bombed them all into the sky.
The Japanese players and the players on our side were completely in the same mood as the sky and the earth. The Japanese players were anxious and their eyes were red, but there was no way to do it. The mobile angels on the city wall were too strong and the stairs were too narrow. Players who could not be able to compete with the mobile angels at all. However, compared with the city, this side was quite good. At least they could have a way to attack. The mobile angels who rushed to the city did not stop at all. They relied on their powerful power to run around in the city, and specifically targeted their defense nodes. The clearing team composed of Japanese players could only turn into a firefighting team and follow them to put out the fire everywhere. As for those mobile angels, they could only see the tail flames they left every time.
"It's almost done?" Feng Yinpiaomiao, who was standing on the podium, turned around and asked me as the flames rising in the city.
I glanced at the crystal communication machine next to me. It was showing a huge battlefield map. At this time, a large number of red circles highlighted on the map were turning into red forks one by one, and each fork represented a turret or defense node. Because the Japanese knew that they would not win this time, their strategic goal was to make us win and lose as much as possible and consume our troops as possible. Based on this idea, the Japanese adjusted their defense strategy into a mode of resistance. There were blocking lines and various defense points everywhere in the city. Even if we knocked down the city wall and entered the city, they could still use these defense points to continuously consume our living power. In the end, even if we could take down the city losses, it would be very terrifying. However, they did not expect that we had guessed it long ago.
Their intentions, so before the battle began, I authorized the military god to use the scanning function of Babel Tower to scan the defense status of the three cities and draw them into a map. Now our mobile angels are clearing these key nodes at a fixed point under the command of the military god. Although the Japanese have repaired so many defense nodes, they did not arrange guard troops on the nodes at the beginning. After all, the city walls were under the greatest pressure at the beginning, so they sent everyone to the city walls, intending to wait until the city walls can't be defended before letting the troops retreat step by step with these defense points. Therefore, these nodes are basically empty except for the guards. The mobile angels attacked in and pulled out most of the nodes without even touching them.
"Ah, the research funds of hundreds of millions of crystal coins per month are indeed not in vain."
Feng Yin Piaomiao couldn't help asking: "When will this shelling be fought? We have already sold out tens of millions of crystal coins at this time. We can't resist it even if we always hit like this!"
"You can stop when you see the signal of the mobile angel."
"Signal?"
Feng Yin Piaomiao was about to ask in detail when he suddenly shouted: "It's successful, I'll order the troops to start charging." Feng Yin Piaomiao heard my voice and hurriedly looked at the city opposite. After seeing it, he immediately became excited because the other party's city gate was actually opened.
"You're waiting for this after a long time! Haha, the city gates are open. Let's see how they guard it and send an order to attack."
The commander on the artillery position in front of the battle formation shouted loudly: "Add elevation angle plus one, start the firepower extension."
Rows of artillery began to lift the guns upwards, and the bounce point in the city obviously left the city wall and pushed towards the core of the city. Our army outside the city finally moved again. However, what you saw was not the scene of heavy shields holding shields and slowly moving forward against the opponent's rain of arrows. On the contrary, the battle formation on our side was almost instantly messed up, and everyone almost let go of their pace and began to rush forward. The mobile angel completely blocked the opponent's wall and cleared the defense weapons. At this time, the formation was meaningless. The most important thing was to rush into the city at the fastest speed. It was a waste of time to advance. Of course, the fastest move was not the infantry, but the air force that took off from the rear. The Pegasus Legion of our guild was not beautiful, flying past
After everyone's heads, the Tianma began to let go and rushed forward. Soon the first NPC troops of the Tianshang successfully landed on the city wall. Then they put down the mage and archers sitting behind them and turned back to the outside of the city to pick up the second group of people. The mages and archers who had just been put down quickly rushed to the city wall. Without even looking, the mages and archers began to throw magic at the densest places in the crowd, while the archers squatted behind the mobile angels guarding the stairs and began to shoot arrows. The stairs on the city wall were straight ladders, with no obstruction in the middle. The stairs themselves were narrow, and there was no place to hide nearby. They could only be shot down the stairs one by one.
Looking at the battlefield situation in front of him, Ghost Nobunaga's eyes were almost glaring, but he had no choice. Originally, when the mobile angels blocked the exit of the city wall, they planned to use magic crystal steam weapons to bomb the mobile angels, but for some reason, all magic crystal steam weapons lost their explosiveness. No matter how they triggered, they would not explode. The originally extremely dangerous magic crystal steam bomb seemed to have turned into stones in an instant. After these magic crystal steam weapons failed, Ghost Nobunaga felt that today was completely fooled. The attack method of the mobile angels clearly shows that we have mastered the production of magic crystal steam weapons.
Methods, and the failure of their magic crystal steam weapon also shows that we have found a way to limit magic crystal steam weapons. In the absence of sufficient firepower to suppress the mobile angels on the city wall, Ghost Nobunaga could only let the players and NPCs below use their lives to pile up, but the stairs on the city wall were so wide that no matter how many people could rush up. Some people who could fly had considered climbing up from other places, but the rapid-fire magic crystal cannons equipped on the mobile angels were simply professional air defense weapons. Anyone who dared to fly was blown up in the air. Later, everyone would rather squeeze the city wall than fly up the city wall.
Seeing that the battle situation was completely out of control and was developing in an unfavorable direction, Nobunaga Ghostou finally made a relatively wise decision. "Give up the city wall and the first and second lines of defense, and order everyone to retreat directly to the third line of defense and re-form the defense line."
"What? President, how can you...!"
A Japanese player was stopped by Nobunaga Ghostou just as he was about to refute. "No need to say anything more, the city wall is now a meat grinder, and no matter how many people we use, we can't fill this pit. First and second defense points have been destroyed, and it's not meaningful to retreat to it. It's better to retreat directly to the third defense line. At least we can re-form the front line while we are leaving contact. Now we are not fighting with the Chinese at all, we are being massacred!"
The member originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he still had no choice but to go out to pass the order. After receiving the order, the Japanese player left a small number of troops to block the pursuit of the mobile angels, and the large force quickly retreated to the third line of defense. Some players could not understand why they could not defend the city walls, so they had to give up the first line of defense. However, when they retreated to the first line of defense, they understood what the above order was. Looking at the wreckage everywhere on the first line of defense and the turrets that were bombed half of the turrets knew that they would definitely not be able to defend here, and the second line of defense behind was obviously not much better than the first line of defense. Relatively speaking, although the third line of defense was a little bad, at least there was still a turret and fortress that could still be used, which was better than fighting street battles with the Chinese on the street.
Due to the Japanese voluntary retreat, our troops rushed into the city without any resistance. However, I did not let them rush over in one go, but stopped the charge troops. We asked everyone to speed up to get closer to the city because we were afraid that there would be any changes over time. Now that the Japanese have broken into contact with our troops, it is better to stop and adjust the battle formation.
Unlike the battle outside the city, the battle formation is definitely not allowed to be set on the streets in the city. At this time, the most suitable vanguard is not cannon fodder-type miscellaneous soldiers, but elite senior combatants.
