407: Countless Casualties! Go Away and Retreat!

Earl Chuye's calculations are good, if a cunning opponent is replaced, then everyone will have a good time. ? Hunting? ????? ??

It's a pity that what he met was an opponent who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes.

Yan Nai'er doesn't care that you are acting, after you offend her, she will kill you!

After Chu Ye completely gave up crossing the river, she immediately ordered the muzzle to be raised and aimed at the north bank position of Chu Ye's army.

"Let's go, let's go..."

Half shot, half solid shell.

Across the river more than 200 meters away, it smashed towards the north bank of Chu Ye's army.

"Shua..."

At this distance, the shotgun is somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of lethality and hit rate.

But one by one, the soldiers fell down!

As for solid shells, the lethality at this distance is extremely powerful.

Although the north bank of the Nujiang River has been rested, it is still relatively narrow, and tens of thousands of troops are already crowded here.

When every solid shell hits the past.

"boom……"

After a loud noise, a path of blood was directly plowed.

And because the ground here is hard, it is easy to cause a ricochet.

Cannonballs weighing dozens of kilograms were rampaging through the crowd, breaking legs and bodies wherever they passed.

A round of shelling more than 200 meters away also caused hundreds of casualties.

Earl Chu Ye almost jumped up, Mrs. Sauron, are you fucking stupid?

I'm not crossing the river anymore, I've already started acting, are you still beating me?

And at this moment...

"Whoosh whoosh..."

There was a whistling sound in the air again.

The giant trebuchet hidden in the trench began to explode!

Gunpowder packs of hundreds of catties,

It was like being thrown by a giant hand, and then fell into the formation of Chu Ye's army.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Earth-shattering explosion!

Countless soldiers were smashed to pieces, and their corpses flew everywhere!

At this time, Yan Nai'er felt that although the artillery was very powerful.

However, the lethality at medium and long distances is not as good as that of a trebuchet throwing gunpowder, especially when the enemy is very dense, the explosive power of a few hundred catties of gunpowder far exceeds any shell.

The advantage of artillery is that it can hit farther, and its accuracy is higher than that of trebuchets.

And the biggest advantage lies in shooting shotgun at close range, the lethality is simply unparalleled.

Suddenly, Earl Chu Ye wanted to cry but had no tears.

...

Fengleibao defense line battlefield!

Just now, hundreds of cannons bombarded the city wall, and trebuchets threw hundreds of primitive cluster bombs. (Explosive packs containing lead bullets, fragments, etc. are actually very different from cluster bombs. At least these small bombs will not explode.)

In an instant, more than one million projectiles exploded in this area of ​​more than 100,000 to 200,000 square meters.

Whether it was Shili in the air or Sauron on the city wall, they could all see it clearly.

The area was instantly empty!

Then, the entire battlefield fell into a terrible silence. (only relatively speaking)

And Shi Li also seemed to have lost all consciousness.

The eyes can't see, the ears can't hear, it's just a bang.

After a while...

All consciousness gradually returned to the body.

Then, he saw soldiers standing up one after another on the battlefield under the walls of Fengleibao.

Everyone has blood on their bodies, even though they don't know it's their own, it's still the enemy's.

When more than one million projectiles exploded suddenly, the area was instantly emptied, as if everyone had died completely.

Actually, not so!

This is not in the sea, nor in the Nu River. Once shot, it is likely to fall into the water and disappear completely.

This is on the ground. After many bullets and shrapnel are shot into the body, it may not be fatal immediately.

Moreover, the crowd was crowded, and it is likely that some people were hit by dozens or hundreds of bullets at once, and they died so badly that they couldn't die anymore.

However, some people were blocked by the comrades in front, and were only scratched by shrapnel and projectiles.

In the end, there were still more than 20,000 soldiers who got up from the ground.

According to Sauron's visual estimation, hundreds of artillery salvos fired shotgun shells and hundreds of catapults threw primitive cluster bombs just now, which should have caused more than 10,000 casualties to the army below.

Therefore, more than half of the first wave of soldiers who charged to attack the city were left.

Sheli's body seemed to have completely recovered its temperature, and he said pleasantly, "It's not over, there's still a lot left."

Only Turingtuo knew that even if there were more than 20,000 people left, it was useless, because the momentum of the siege had been suspended, and the order and formation had been completely disrupted.

Originally, the distribution of fire shields was very particular, so as to protect most soldiers.

And now...

These so-called fire shields bought at a high price were all thrown on the ground.

really……

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Many holes on the city wall were opened, and countless barrels of fire oil rolled down.

On the city wall, countless wrestlers threw barrels of kerosene and smashed them down.

Then, countless rockets shot down...

Many small and medium scorpion trebuchets started throwing.

It's still the terrible gunpowder cluster bomb.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Soldiers who have lost their organization and command can only be scattered sand.

What awaits them is an overwhelming massacre!

Burned to death!

Killed by gunpowder.

Die from being shot through the body by countless projectiles!

In the end, the 50,000 soldiers who attacked the city in the first wave were wiped out.

They didn't even climb the walls effectively!

...

And at this moment, preparations for the second round of bombardment of the Fengleibao defense line were completed!

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

Hundreds of artillery pieces fired at the same time.

The target is the giant trebuchet that left the position!

50% are solid projectiles, 30% are flower bullets, and 20% are chain bullets.

This is an experimental shelling, the purpose is to prove, under the current technical conditions, how powerful is the explosive bomb?

Then there is the comparison of the lethality of artillery and giant trebuchets at medium and long distances.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Hundreds of projectiles swept across like black lightning.

The results are optimistic, but also very pessimistic.

Optimism is because, whether it is a solid bullet or a chain bullet, even in the 6th battle, it is very lethal.

Because there are too many armies in Zhili, and the array is too dense.

The solid bullet was shot out, directly plowing a blood path. Wherever he passed, there were completely corpses flying.

And the chain bomb is even more terrifying, like a death scythe, it flies all the way and cuts off countless heads, but its power is far inferior to the Shanghai battle, and it is not suitable for the Lu battle.

As for the explosive bombs, as expected, each explosive bomb contains more than a dozen catties of gunpowder, and the lethality is really average, far inferior to the giant gunpowder pack.

Before the advent of high explosives, flower bombs really didn't mean much.

Not optimistic, because the target of Sauron's shelling this time was the enemy's trebuchet position.

But after a round of shelling, only less than ten giant catapults were injured.

This result is not bad, but it is comparable to the result of a hundred giant trebuchets.

The giant trebuchet has a lower hit rate, but it can throw hundreds of catties of gunpowder balls. Once it explodes, the targets within the entire radius will be affected.

"Use giant trebuchets to destroy the enemy's trebuchets and giant crossbow positions." Sauron ordered: "All artillery, use solid shells to attack the Xili army from a long distance!"

"yes!"

...

Shili's body had just recovered a little bit of temperature, and now it was freezing again!

Just now, he watched helplessly the 50,000 troops who attacked the city in the first wave died completely.

Not only him, but all the princes behind him can also see clearly.

It is really a devastating blow to everyone's confidence!

Xili couldn't help looking at Turingtuo!

I only saw that the first commander of the kingdom seemed to be a few years older, and because of the frown, his original very shallow wrinkles were like a knife cut.

"The second wave of siege army, do you want to go up?" Zhili asked.

Turingtuo shook his head.

It doesn't make any sense to send the second wave of 50,000 people up.

War was changed, changed by Sauron's powder and artillery.

In the era of completely cold weapons before, the number of soldiers played a decisive role.

But at this time, in front of the terrifying war machine, a large number of people is not very useful, at best it is just giving away the head.

"Throw fish oil bombs and try to destroy Sauron's giant trebuchet!" Turingtuo said.

Turingtuo found that although Sauron's artillery was amazing, it may not be much more lethal than the trebuchet.

The huge gunpowder package thrown out by the giant trebuchet just now, especially the primitive cluster bomb thrown out at the end, is so lethal that it is no less than artillery shells.

Therefore, the two armies began to bombard each other remotely.

The hundreds of trebuchets in the Jili army threw fish oil bombs frantically.

And Sauron's giant trebuchet threw gunpowder packs frantically.

Countless explosives flew staggered in the air. Then fall into the opponent's position.

It has to be said that this fish oil bomb caused a lot of casualties to Sauron's army.

Once the army was hit, it turned out that more than a dozen people were completely burned.

And once the trebuchet was hit, it immediately ignited a raging fire.

The most terrifying thing is that after burning the gunpowder bag, it exploded directly on the city wall. Not only did he blow up his own catapult to pieces, but all the bones of the soldiers who operated the catapult were also blown to pieces.

In this way, the two sides clashed frantically.

Before long, Sauron's entire walls of Stormcastle seemed to be ablaze.

Sauron's hundreds of cannons aimed at the Shili army hundreds of meters away, thousands of meters away, and bombarded frantically.

The power of solid shells in the 6th battle completely refreshed Sauron's impression.

In naval battles, solid shells did not show extremely amazing lethality, not as good as chain bombs, grape shells, and shotgun shells.

But in the 6th battle, especially in the case of a very dense enemy formation, the power of solid bullets is extremely terrifying.

"boom……"

Once it hits, it runs through a distance of tens of meters, and all the soldiers along the way are all imprisoned, broken, or even smashed to pieces.

With luck, the shell landed on soft dirt ground.

With bad luck, it fell on the hard stone ground and caused a ricochet, which was even more lethal.

And the catapults of both sides hit each other!

Although Sauron also suffered heavy losses, in comparison, a gunpowder ball weighing several hundred kilograms is much more powerful than a fish oil bomb.

Each round of catapult volley can cause seven or eight damage to the Shili catapult position.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

In this way, the two sides have been bombarded from a distance.

The reason why Turingtuo did this was to regain the morale and confidence of the army.

Because the fire oil bombs were used to attack Fengleibao's defense line, it looked really amazing.

After just a few rounds of salvo, the entire Fengleibao defense line seemed to be on fire.

From a visual point of view, Sauron's situation seemed to be at a disadvantage. After all, the entire defense line was in flames.

In this way, it dilutes the tragic impression that the first wave of 50,000 siege troops were wiped out just now.

However……

This superficial advantage was completely destroyed by Sauron's artillery.

It was just amazing and hit so far.

In the previous battlefield, as long as they were five hundred meters away, they were absolutely safe.

At this time, even two or three miles away is not safe.

Every round of Sauron's bombardment, all the troops were frightened.

Because it is too terrible, too cruel!

Tens of kilograms of projectiles flew over, easily plowed a bloody path, and easily took away dozens or even dozens of people's lives.

This kind of artillery is either inaccurate, or once it is accurate, it will cause countless casualties.

...

Lord Ironwood was one of the princes who hated Sauron the most.

Of course, Sauron didn't do anything to him, and his hatred mainly came from fear.

Because his territory is in the southeast province, and after Sauron became the acting governor of the southeast province, he has been fighting against Sauron.

He was worried every day, lest Sauron would one day lead an army into his Ironwood City and kill his entire family.

Now that Xili led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Sauron, he was completely ecstatic, waiting for Sauron's destruction.

Yesterday, the scandal between Zhili and Turingduo was revealed, and he still has lingering fears. But so what, his current mortal enemy is still Sauron, and he stood firmly on the side of Shili, watching Sauron be smashed to pieces.

After today's battle broke out, his blood was boiling, and he wished to lead the soldiers to charge forward.

But after the battle started, his body was instantly cold.

The first wave of 50,000 troops was wiped out without even climbing the city wall.

too frightening……

Next, Zhili did not send troops to attack the city, but instead bombarded it from a long distance.

Ironwood City Lord was very anxious, and roared: "Why don't you attack the city? Why don't you attack the city? If 50,000 is not enough, then 100,000, 150,000, 200,000! Use your life to pile up Sauron, and cut him into thousands of pieces!" what!"

And at this moment...

Suddenly there was a whistling in the air!

Then a black lightning flew suddenly!

City Lord Ironwood was shocked, what, what is this?

More than a dozen of his confidant warriors reacted quickly, and immediately blocked the lord with their bodies, holding up their shields to block!

"boom……"

With a loud bang, the shell easily shattered the shield.

"Puff puff……"

Then, directly tore the bodies of several confidant warriors.

Then!

"boom……"

A solid bullet of more than 20 kilograms directly hit the head of Iron Wood City Lord.

His head, like a ripe watermelon, burst open and shattered completely!

After smashing the head of Ironwood City Lord, the bullet fell to the ground as if it had run out of momentum.

"what……"

Immediately afterwards, the young master of Ironwood City uttered an extremely shrill scream.

Because, he suddenly felt that his legs were numb, and when he looked down, there was a bloody mess from his crotch.

"Ah... ah... ah..."

Immediately, he let out an even more miserable howl!

...

The death of City Lord Tiemu brought incomparable shock and terror to the senior management of the Xili army.

At that time, he was three miles away from Fengleibao's defense line!

Just like that, he was hit in the head!

Isn't it safe to be two or three miles away? In fact, Ironwood City Lord is purely unlucky. Being hit at such a distance can really buy a lottery ticket.

But these nobles and princes who are greedy for life and fear of death don't think so.

These cannonballs can kill Ironwood City Lord, and naturally they can also kill them.

Immediately, all the high-ranking nobles, all the princes, and all the high-ranking civil servants all had cold limbs, and the tide began to retreat.

As soon as these people retreated, the morale of the entire army dropped instantly.

"Your Highness, we must withdraw our troops and retreat, otherwise there will be a big retreat!" Turingtuo said.

Xi Centrifuge was dripping blood, he gritted his teeth and said, "The army retreats five li!"

Suddenly, countless gongs sounded!

Hundreds of thousands of troops retreated in embarrassment and retreated five miles away.

Zhili's 450,000 troops attacked Fengleibao's defense line, and in just the first day, they lost tens of thousands and retreated for several miles.

This is not the worst!

The most terrifying thing is the political consequences after his defeat!

Yesterday, he and Turingtuo forcibly turned a deer into a horse, completely suppressing everyone's inner dissatisfaction.

Now, it is very likely that it will completely backfire!

After retreating back to the camp, will anyone be in trouble? Will someone rebel?

Even, take his detached head to offer meritorious service to Sauron?
