Chapter 242

On Blue Star, Su Yi basically laid the foundation for the overall situation in the oil region. The next step is to crush the Bald Eagle forces in this area with one wave of operations.

Facing the millions of vanguard troops from the North, Weiwei has also made considerable progress here.

After formulating a plan to send the tens of thousands of artillerymen trained by the Jiuzhou reinforcements to the high ground on the side of the North Alliance camp with tens of thousands of cannons to bombard.

Mengchuan City took action very quickly.

Tens of thousands of newly trained artillerymen, tens of thousands of 155mm cannons, technical instructors drawn from a thousand Jiuzhou reinforcements, and tens of thousands of high-level warriors and magicians as escort teams.

This trip has nearly 100,000 people, and the shells and supplies required for tens of thousands of cannons are an astronomical figure, basically in units of 10,000 tons.

Such a massive operation, if placed on Blue Star, would definitely not be related to an ambush.

In ancient times, there were many wars on Blue Star with a scale of more than 100,000. This kind of outrageous war, where only one side sent out an ambush force of nearly 100,000, was unprecedented on Blue Star.

It is impossible to achieve.

Even in ancient times, no matter which country on the battlefield of Blue Star, there were various scouts and secret guards around the camp to prevent sneak attacks.

In modern wars, if a large-scale march reaches some areas and needs to set up camp, as long as the commander of this army is not stupid, he will specially send people to occupy nearby places where firepower can be set up to attack the camp. Or send people to guard the various traffic arteries around.

It is simply nonsense to want to use such a large army of nearly 100,000 people to sneak attack others.

But the magic world has magic after all, and it is magical enough.

The war in this world is still at a very primitive stage. It is not proficient in these messy things at all. There is no awareness of controlling the surrounding high points and scattering scouts to monitor any disturbances around the camp.

In addition, with the help of some magic props, those large-scale artillery and supplies that are difficult to transport are very simple to transport.

As for the movement of personnel, because the average physical fitness of the magic world is far superior to that of ordinary people, some places that seem very outrageous and impossible for a large army to move may not really be impossible for a large army to move.

With the blessing of these factors, on the afternoon of the day when the plan was made, nearly 100,000 people who were required to participate in this operation in the plan left Mengchuan City.

Various equipment and logistical supplies followed them out of the city.

As soon as these people went out, they went into the vast mountains. Without carrying any logistical baggage, they had no pressure at all to travel through the steep mountains.

Not long after dark, they arrived at the previously scheduled venue.

A broken mountain top only a dozen kilometers away from the coalition camp.

Before dawn that day, all the artillery had set up their positions, adjusted the angles, and under the guidance of these Jiuzhou reinforcements, all aimed their guns at the coalition camp.

With just one order, thousands of cannons can be fired at once, giving the Northern Alliance who are still unaware of the situation down the mountain a big blow.

These Northern Alliance troops are not really that bad after being bombed.

Through long-distance observation with telescopes, Lin Yilong and other Kyushu reinforcement commanders who came with them found that many aliens in the Northern Alliance who came this time were holding a large shield that was more than one person tall. The material of this large shield was very strange. After asking the accompanying magician for protection, they learned that these shields were made of the trunk of a magical tree called "Magic Iron Wood".

This wood is extremely tough and even harder than steel.

And it has strong fire resistance.

Even if it is directly placed in the fire for a night, there will be no damage the next day.

But its weight is less than one-fifth of that of steel.

It can be said that it is not only light, but also has strong defense.

From a distance, the standard shields in the hands of these people are probably more than 20 cm thick.

This is probably much thicker than many anti-tank armor.

Moreover, it can be seen from a distance that this kind of shield is very popular in the vanguard of this coalition army. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone has one.

This is obviously the way that the North came up with to deal with these strange weapons in Mengchuan City after suffering a loss last time.

Can this shield be effective?

It is obviously effective.

The thickness is more than 20cm, and the hardness is even higher than that of steel plates. Such things are almost stronger than the armor protection of some armored vehicles.

Not to mention conventional firearms, even if the machine gun is placed flat, this thing can probably withstand a few shots.

The 155mm large-caliber artillery may have to hit it at a close point, or directly hit the shield head-on, in order to break the defense.

Otherwise, after opening fire, these alien races in the North only need to simply distribute them to form shield arrays to defend all directions.

The killing radius of the shells may be greatly reduced, and it will not be able to blow up this thing at a distance.

Coupled with its outrageous fireproof properties, even the special flame magic used by some mid- and high-level magicians cannot ignite this wood, let alone incendiary bombs.

With this thing, the incendiary bombs such as white phosphorus bombs that shined on the battlefield last time will probably be much less of a deterrent to the enemy.

It can be said that these rough-looking protective gears that the Northern Alliance prepared temporarily to deal with the artillery shells of the Jiuzhou reinforcements are actually not that bad.

At least now they look very practical.

If they had not discovered it in advance, they would have followed the previous tactics, which would have greatly reduced the damage caused by long-range artillery weapons.

But unfortunately, they thought of a way to deal with it, and Mengchuan City was also not idle.

Such a large artillery unit came directly out of the city. Judging from the fact that the Northern Alliance did not have any defense, this was definitely something they would never have thought of.

After all, there is probably no way to attack the enemy at such a long distance in this world except for the rare and negligible demigods, magic gods, and some super magicians of the eighth and ninth ranks.

And the number of high-level magicians is rare. Even if some came, they could not cause too much damage to this huge army of millions, so there is no need to be specially prepared.

As for these artillery, although they had suffered losses before, they probably never thought that this thing could be moved out of Mengchuan City.

It is normal to be defenseless.
