Chapter 489 Can You Fight Seriously
It was already two days later that Gu Xingdong led the army to move to the next strategic hub. But at this time, 80,000 elites, more than 6,000 artillery pieces, and more than 5 million shells were gathered!
Five million shells, what concept? It can be built into a city wall!
On the northern front, Gu Xingdong met Huo Shisong, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Huo Shisong is a serious-looking general, even a bit cold. However, he has obviously received information about the war situation on Nangong Zhi's side.
After seeing the mountain of artillery shells, and seeing that Gu Xingdong had begun to direct his subordinates to deploy the artillery array, the corners of Huo Shisong's mouth also twitched a little.
However, he didn't stop him. He also wanted to see what Nangong Zhi said about the indiscriminate bombing. With a distance of more than 30 kilometers, the opponent can be destroyed.
Today, due to the large-scale use of artillery on both sides, the distance between the camps is mostly about 30 kilometers.
The range of the Qixia Kingdom's artillery is generally 40 kilometers—the outside world does not know yet, but the Qixia Kingdom has begun to equip the Thunder Cannon with a range of up to a crazy 80 kilometers.
Gu Xingdong and Huo Shisong met, and after a brief exchange, they were ready to order an attack.
"Wait!" An exasperated voice floated, and then saw a Huashen dressed in the costume of Xuanzhen Sect flying over.
Gu Xingdong stood up straight, and when the other party approached, he immediately sent a smiling face, "What do you call senior? Junior Gu Xingdong, the commander of the Eastern Army of Qixia Kingdom."
"I know you! My old man, Hong Yazi, is one of the elders of Law Enforcement Hall!" Hong Yazi's tone was a little exasperated, "Let me ask you why you can't fight well. Is it interesting to play like this!
Hitting a stronghold cost millions of high-grade spirit stones. If this is a complete battle, wouldn't it cost hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones! In the entire Fertile Continent, you can't find so many high-grade spirit stones!
What a joke! "
Why is Hong Yazi angry? Because in the end all the consumption will be paid by Xuanzhen Sect! Xuanzhen Sect doesn't want to charge forward by itself, and wants others to be cannon fodder, that's no problem - but it's obviously impossible for the horse to run fast and eat less. Therefore, Xuanzhen Sect should compensate 120% of the war consumption.
But the Qixia Kingdom's legion is good - before the main army arrived, only a part of the legion arrived, and the attack the day before yesterday wiped out more than four million high-grade spirit stones!
If the army of the Qixia Kingdom arrives and attacks like crazy, the army of your Qixia Kingdom alone will be able to drag down the entire Xuanzhen Sect!
But when Gu Xingdong heard it, he immediately became serious, "Senior, I have objections to what you said. I dare to ask senior a few questions.
First, is it the correct way to fight here? What if the fighter plane is delayed?
Second, we have excellent artillery and can win without sacrificing soldiers. Is there anything wrong with that?
Third, besides this method, do you know what tricks the seniors have? "
Hong Yazi was dumbfounded.
When Gu Xingdong saw him, he didn't express anything on the surface, but he felt a slight sense of superiority in his heart: so what if you are in the stage of becoming a god, you don't understand the situation on the battlefield at all!
No matter how powerful the god transformation stage is, it cannot replace the general's talent on the battlefield.
Hong Yazi held back for a long time, and finally said: "But it is too wasteful for you to attack like this. With so many shells, they can be of greater use."
"No! These shells should be used in this way! Our attack should form a fist, like a hammer, knocking open the opponent's shell and destroying the opponent's fortifications.
Such a defense capability cannot be built overnight, but we can destroy it overnight.
Destroying a stronghold can destroy hundreds of thousands of opponents' troops.
Destroying two strongholds can destroy more than 200,000 troops of the opponent, affecting more than 500,000 troops.
Destroy three strongholds, the opponent's defense line will collapse, morale will collapse, and the opponent's strategy will be completely disrupted.
Then we launched a general attack before the opponent could react in time. It can break through the opponent's defense system in one fell swoop. Even kill millions of enemies. If you can bite the enemy, you may be able to kill the opponent's second line of defense in one go, or even break through the opponent's second line of defense by driving them away.
War, the most important thing is time! Winning in a short time is the most economical way!
So we have to squeeze each other's time at all costs! To make the opponent unable to react, to hit the opponent dizzy.
Rather than playing a war of attrition with the other party. In that case, in the end, you can only kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred! "
Hong Yazi couldn't refute what was said. He thought for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Are you sure you can break through the defense of the Southern Tang Kingdom's imperial capital? The current defense of the imperial capital cannot be broken even in the stage of transforming gods. We have attacked here several times, but all failed. Even suffered heavy losses.
We also tried to set up a large formation to seal the sky and lock the earth, but the opponent was already prepared. The ballista and the cannon are two-pronged, and the big formation of sealing the sky and locking the earth cannot be deployed at all.
We also tried concentrated attacks with artillery, etc., but with little success. Slight losses can be easily repaired by the other party. "
Confidence flashed in Gu Xingdong's eyes: "I went over to look at the opponent's defense earlier. The defense is strong, but the defense is rigid. It is already evening, and tomorrow morning, I can give senior an answer!"
Hong Yazi turned his head to look at the mountain of shells, frowned, and finally nodded slowly. But then asked again: "Your shells are left like this, are you not afraid of exploding?"
"There are seniors here!" Gu Xingdong flattered him first, and then said: "We have special small formations for protection. These formations are not big, but they form layers of protection.
Cannonballs and shells are built together, and there is a larger formation protection outside. Basically, nothing will go wrong.
We have tested that even if it is directly hit by a shell, it will not explode. This is also the technology we re-developed after the explosion on the previous battleship. Not big, but it works. "
Hong Yazi nodded. "Well, I want to see the answer you said tomorrow morning!"
Gu Xingdong smiled, turned his head and ordered to the artillerymen: "Aim at the left front of the target. Focus fire on me and smash that corner!"
After giving the order, Gu Xingdong turned his head and said to Hong Yazi: "Senior, look, the imperial capital of the Southern Tang Kingdom is located in front of the left, close to the hills, and the ground is solid and rocky. The rest of the place is mostly rivers.
After our analysis, we believe that the river, silt, etc. can absorb the aftermath of the explosion. But the rock can't, instead it will be shattered little by little by the aftermath of the explosion.
A powerful formation must be combined with the earth. If we can shatter the foundation, the opponent's defense, etc., will naturally collapse. "
It sounds reasonable, Hong Yazi nodded again. But then asked: "How many shells will it consume?"
Gu Xingdong turned his head to look at the mountain of shells, and said slowly: "These should be enough."
Hong Yazi: ...
If you continue to fight like this, the Xuanzhen Sect will go bankrupt in half a year!
