Nangong Zhi stood on the observation deck and was stunned for a long time.
He was really frightened by Qixia Country¡¯s war methods.
"When we say 1.5 million shells, it's 1.5 million. It's really no discount, or even more!" And the range of artillery generally exceeds 30 kilometers!
Trains keep arriving, soldiers keep arriving, artillery keeps arriving, and a steady stream of artillery shells arrive!
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Qixia screamed excitedly - Nangong Zhi originally expected that the legion of the Kingdom of Qixia would be unwilling to do so, as he did not expect that the morale of the other party would be so high.
Not only that, the Qixia Country¡¯s war methods also made Nangong Zhi twitch constantly - it¡¯s all money!
Nangong Zhi saw with his own eyes that the number of artillery pieces in Qixia Kingdom increased from 200 to 400 to the current 3,800. Among them, there are 2,400 300mm and 460mm models.
The caliber of artillery is 100 mm, 160 mm, 240 mm, 300 mm, and 460 mm. Currently, the main ones firing are 300mm and 460mm. 240mm seat assist. The remaining small calibers are not activated for the time being.
Every time these artillery salvos were fired, the ground shook, and the rocks on the ground around the artillery were shattered.
The artillerymen of the Kingdom of Qixia were flying around carrying heavy shells excitedly. The soldiers carrying the artillery shells stretched from the rear warehouse to the artillery array in the front, stretching endlessly, as if forming an artillery shell transportation line.
The train roared further behind, and massive amounts of artillery shells continued to arrive. After realizing the benefits of the railway, Nangong Zhi had already built the railway to the front line.
And because the Kingdom of Qixia was temporarily short of manpower, Nangong Zhi had to send some of his own troops to help carry the artillery shells.
At this time, the artillery had been firing for half a day. The speed of the more than 2,400 artillery pieces was a bit low because they fired in salvos, but they could still project about 2 to 3 times per minute, which is about 6,000 shells; one hour is Around 360,000.
A half-day attack had already exceeded 1.5 million shells. The sky has been shrouded in the smell of gunpowder smoke. The bombardment is still not over, and the number of artillery fire continues to increase.
The trains shuttled continuously and continued to deliver an endless stream of artillery shells.
Affected by the morale of the Kingdom of Qixia, the morale of Nangongzhi's legion has improved again; but the other side, that is, the legion of the Kingdom of Southern Tang and the legion of Xiaoyao Sect, is another matter.
Nangong Zhi was filled with emotion when he saw it. Only the Kingdom of Qixia can afford this kind of war. Even though the technology is now made public, the price of a 300mm cannon shell is still as high as one high-grade spiritual stone; a 460mm cannon shell costs three high-grade spiritual stones. Don't forget, the shells of the cannonballs produced by Dayang Group are made of low-quality steel.
These low-quality steels are fragile, but the fragments are extremely sharp and hard. It's like high-grade pig iron. Ordinary magic shields may not be able to completely defend against such shrapnel.
The royal family of Qixia Country also has arsenals, but they also purchase low-quality steel from Dayang Group. These low-quality steels were specifically used to produce artillery shells.
In just half a day, about two million shells have been fired. Half and half 300mm and 460mm shells. The cost of the shells was more than 4 million high-grade spiritual stones - this was the military expenditure of the Qixia country in the past for one year!
But the effect of such crazy waste is also significant. Ahead, the legions of the Southern Tang Dynasty had already collapsed, and the fortifications, trenches, defensive barriers, city walls, etc. were all in ruins. Countless soldiers were killed in artillery fire.
¡°Obviously, the army of the Southern Tang Kingdom and even the Xiaoyao Sect did not have the preparation and experience to deal with such an attack. As a large number of soldiers died, the remaining ones gradually became discouraged. A large number of soldiers began to flee, and even the supervising team at the rear could not kill them. Even many soldiers who were supervising the battle team were killed or trampled to death by deserters.
"It's not over yet!" In the Kingdom of Southern Tang Dynasty, Taoist Master Mingquan, who was the supervisor of the army, jumped angrily!
Taoist priest Mingquan is very pitiful to say that his master, Taoist priest Dingshan is dead. The best disciple, Ma Jianliang died, sinking at the same time as the battleship.
You must know that in the world of spiritual practice, the relationship between master and disciple is very sacred; sometimes it even surpasses the relationship between father and son. In particular, many practitioners began to practice with their master when they were young. They are truly as close as flesh and blood.
The angry Taoist Master Mingquan had no intention of practicing, so he voluntarily joined the army. He has no military talent, but it doesn't matter. He can serve as a military supervisor, supervise frontline wars, and can also serve as a messenger for the Xiaoyao faction and local legions.
But today, Taoist Master Mingquan was angry again - he had never seen such a shameless war! The other side won't let go when it seizes a strategic pivot. Half a day, at leastTwo million shells were poured out!
crazy!
Although this hub is well constructed, it cannot withstand such indiscriminate bombing. Especially the opponent's attack distance is more than thirty kilometers or even forty kilometers. This resulted in the army of the Southern Tang Kingdom being passively beaten.
We tried several charges, but were torn apart by artillery fire. The remaining defeated soldiers were cleared by the opponent's elite with a single charge.
War has no regard for strategy at all. People are desperately burning money!
The biggest problem now is: I can¡¯t burn others here. The fortifications built at a huge cost are theoretically enough to withstand the intensive attack of artillery fire - but when it is concentrated like this, who am I to ask for explanation!
The defensive barrier collapsed, the city wall collapsed, and finally the soldiers collapsed.
Taoist priest Mingquan dodged a shell, but was blown up to the point where his ears were ringing and his eyes were dazzled, and he was in a very miserable state. He glanced around, it was miserable.
Half a day ago, more than 300,000 elite troops were stationed here. The defense here was also impregnable and the morale was high. Half a day later, the place was in a mess. Of the more than 300,000 elites, at least more than 100,000 were killed on the spot, and the rest fled and scattered.
Even the commander-in-chief was seriously injured and had to take the lead in running away - euphemistically called strategic transfer.
This is definitely the most ridiculous war that Taoist Master Mingquan has ever seen and experienced! Without everyone meeting each other, a war has ended.
In fact, this is the most ridiculous war that Nangong Zhi and many generals from the Kingdom of Ze, the Kingdom of Canglan, and the Kingdom of Northern Tang have seen.
The two sides started the war when they were more than thirty kilometers apart.
There were zero casualties on one side, military expenditure exceeded four million high-grade spiritual stones, and the legion remained in place.
One side suffered heavy casualties and was defeated. The fortifications were blown into a beach.
After it was confirmed that the front line was completely defeated, Gu Xingdong ordered to stop the bombardment.
Nangong Zhi cautiously came over and asked, "General Gu, do you want to go over and pursue us?"
Gu Xingdong waved his hand casually: "You go over and give chase. We don't want any trophies or anything else. We are moving."
"Transfer?" Nangong Zhi continued to be in a daze.
Gu Xingdong pointed to a large strategic hub in the north on the map, "This is the imperial capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty."
"Yes." Nangong Zhi nodded.
Gu Xingdong smiled proudly: "We have prepared five million artillery shells for the imperial capital!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
