Chen Xing's words were like poking a hornet's nest. The Four Nations Alliance was full of verbal and verbal criticism. Wei Haitang even called Qin Wu directly: "Fight, beat me to death!"

"When the troops are exhausted, I will replenish them for you!"

As the head of a medium-sized principality, Wei Haitang does have the confidence to say such a thing. Including refugees, the Silver Claw Principality has a population of more than 30 million, a standing army of 700,000, and a reserve force of 2 million. It can mobilize hundreds of people at any time.

A large force of ten thousand levels.

Qin Wu had a character that was determined to retaliate. He suffered losses at the hands of Chen Xing one after another. He did not need Wei Haitang to speak. Within a few days, he regrouped his troops and led an army of 700,000 to kill Chen Xing in Fenghua.

Rock group.

He is very confident in his own strength. Looking at the entire Red Dragon Principality, the only ones who can resist the Gluttonous Lord are the Princess of the North and the Red Dragon Grand Duke. Needless to say the former, the supreme powerhouse of the king level, he can only take a detour when he sees it, but the other party is affected by

Due to the restrictions of the "King's Declaration", no action can be taken. The Red Dragon Grand Duke is a legendary powerhouse at the level of a small king. According to convention, he will not take action until he reaches the capital of the principality.

Therefore, he is invincible here.

Although the opponent has a terrain advantage, he also has a numerical advantage. In his eyes, the lives of soldiers are for consumption. If 700,000 people rush forward and cooperate with his gluttonous monarch, what kind of position cannot be defeated?

At this moment, in the central area of ​​the Ghost Crying Plain, tens of thousands of soldiers are hiding among the weathered rocks, holding steel guns, waiting for the war to come.

However, they were generally in a calm mood and were not disturbed by the fact that several times the enemy troops were advancing towards here. They were either smoking cigarettes or whispering to each other, and they heard low laughter from time to time, appearing very relaxed.

Guarding the weathered rock group are the central army and the right army. The soldiers are basically mercenaries. Fighting is a common occurrence and is not unusual. The other small group is the troops from more than a dozen edge towns in the Northern Wilderness. These people fight with them all year round.

The mutant creatures in the wasteland have a tough psychological quality when fighting against them.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the reserve army, which is located more than 30 kilometers behind the weathered rocks, is very tense. Most of these people are new recruits. It is their first time to go to the battlefield. You can often see people retching due to excessive nervousness.

The left army was guarding the corner of the Nolan Snow Mountain in the northeast of the weathered rock group. This place has the highest terrain, difficult terrain, and the strongest defensive capabilities. Qin Wu basically would not be interested here.

The commander of the left army is Viscount Ramon, and the main components of the army are the private armies of the Ramon family, personnel drawn from the private armies of the major families in Dragon Lizard City, and recruits recruited by the Red Dragon Principality.

Regardless of the left army or the right army, Chen Xing's control was weak.

If we talk about "tie", the tie between the Left Army, the Reserve Army, and the Logistics Brigade and Chen Xing is "the same dynasty and ministers", the tie between the Right Army and Chen Xing is "common ideals", and the tie between the Chinese Army and Chen Xing is

The bond between them is a "personal friendship", while the Guards and the reconnaissance brigade are a "community of destiny".

It is clear at a glance whether closeness or distance is close.

Generally speaking, Chen Xing should give priority to placing the collateral troops on the main battlefield of the Weathered Rock Group and the direct troops on the Nolan Snow Mountain defense line to reduce battle losses.

However, leaving aside the logistics brigade that has no combat capability and the reserve army that supplements the battle losses of each army, among the three main armies of the left, center and right, the center army has the largest number and the strongest combat capability, followed by the right army and the weakest left army.

The weathered rock group is a barrier from east to north. Once this strategic point is lost, the coalition forces will march straight in, crossing the Ghost Crying Plains into the hinterland of the Red Dragon Principality, and approach the Crow Ruins.

Qin Wu did not need to pay attention to the garrison on Nuolan Snow Mountain to achieve his strategic goals. At that time, Chen Xing would be charged with poor defense and resigned under the pressure of public opinion.

job.

Therefore, the weathered rock group cannot be lost.

"Enemy found, enemy found!"

"Every unit is ready to fight, every unit is ready to fight!"

On the distant horizon, a black mass of troops appeared. They were numerous and stretched for dozens of kilometers.

"Artillery mecha, prepare to shoot!"

"Load and release!"

The artillery mecha of the expeditionary force was the first to take action. The weathered rock group was on higher ground, had a wider field of vision, and had a longer range.

The roar of artillery sounded, and hundreds of artillery shells pierced the sky and fell into the enemy's position with a sharp roar.

Amidst the dull explosions, springs of earth rose into the sky. The enemy soldiers who were directly hit by the shells were torn into pieces on the spot. Their broken bodies were blown up into the air, flying like kites with broken strings, and then plunged into the air mixed with blood and sand.

on the ground.

After several rounds of shelling, the roar of artillery also sounded from the opposite position.

When the two armies faced each other, the first round was an "artillery duel." The two armies fired for several days and nights, destroying their positions to pieces, and then launched a charge.

Since the red earth world has experienced the doomsday baptism of nuclear bombs, weapons of mass destruction have been completely banned, and artillery is currently the only weapon of mass destruction.

"Lie down!"

The sharp whistling sound of the cannonballs landed on the weathered rocks one after another, exploding earthen springs several feet high.

The soldiers hid in bomb shelters or behind weathered rocks, covering their buzzing ears and huddled together. The dust fell from the sky, and their whole bodies turned into balls of mud.

Deep in the weathered rock group, in a weathered rock cave, Chen Xing and Xiang Caidi stood side by side, staring at the three-dimensional combat map in front of them.

Also in the command room were Jian Yue Canglian and other security personnel, as well as Xiao Yang, who was the driver and assistant.

A virtual keyboard floated in front of Chen Xing, and the keys lit up as his fingers tapped. On the suspended screen, rows of coordinates scrolled upward under Chen Xing's input, and a model of an artillery mecha appeared on the three-dimensional map.

"The Seventh Artillery Squadron, loaded with grenades, direction 11:16, distance 7.28 kilometers, elevation angle 47.5 degrees..."

"Twelfth Artillery Squadron, loaded with grenades, direction 9:45, distance 8.92 kilometers, elevation angle 49.7 degrees..."

Tactical satellites in space continuously transmit the positions of enemy artillery mechas on the battlefield to Chen Xing's mind. Chen Xing then inputs the coordinates into the combat map, and then Xiang Caidi uses a walkie-talkie to direct the artillery troops to carry out precise strikes.

In the red earth world, "artillery" generally refers to "cannon howitzer", which can be loaded with two types of artillery shells, namely cannon shells and grenades. The former can be fired directly or at a low angle, and the combat distance is usually about two thousand meters, and the furthest is no more than 2,000 meters.

Five kilometers, its main purpose is to penetrate fortifications or armored units, and the latter can be ejected at a long distance and at a large angle. Its main function is to cover long-range firepower and carry out shock and damage.

Although the maximum range of grenades can reach seventy or eighty kilometers or even further, due to the influence of wind and distance, the accuracy of grenades exceeding ten kilometers will be very low, so artillery duels are basically within a range of ten kilometers.

Among Chen Xing's direct subordinates, only Lin Shiyuan and Xiang Caidie have military talents. Lin Shiyuan is good at defensive formations and logistics support, while Xiang Caidie is good at artillery command.

After receiving the commander's order, the artillery unit immediately adjusted its angle and direction. The artillery support hand picked up the heavy shell, stuffed it into the gun chamber, closed the cover forcefully, and locked the safety lock.

"Ammunition loading

complete!"

"Get ready, fire!"

The three rows of cannon barrels mounted on the mecha's shoulders suddenly snapped back, spurting out large swaths of flame.

This is a squadron of artillery mechas, with twelve in each squad, totaling one hundred and forty-four in twelve squads. The scene of simultaneous firing is extremely spectacular.

More than a hundred shells came out of the gun, flew across the sky in a long arc, and landed accurately on the heads of a group of mottled and old mechas.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Grenades flew everywhere, and the artillery mecha was blown up and down. Twisted steel plates and broken parts were thrown into the air.

High-temperature and sharp shrapnel flew past, slicing off the head of one of the narrator's support workers who was responsible for loading ammunition. Another female support worker's abdomen was scratched by a corner of the shrapnel, and her intestines immediately flowed all over the ground. After the smoke passed, the ground was a mess.

Messy.

Although the thick armor could withstand high temperatures and explosions, it could not offset the impact of the explosion. The pilot in the cockpit suffered bleeding from his mouth and nose, and died with his eyes wide open.

In this precise round of bombardment, except for a few who had psychic armor that could offset the internal impact, the two squads, twenty-four artillery mechas, and forty-eight support personnel were all killed.

The cruelty of war is deplorable.

Chen Xing used the precise positioning of tactical satellites and cooperated with Xiang Caidi's artillery command. Less than an hour after the war started, he continuously destroyed eight coalition artillery positions.

"Sir, the firepower from the opposite side is so fierce that our artillery unit cannot stand at all!"

In the command camp of the Four Nations Allied Forces, the artillery battalion captain reported hurriedly to the allied marshal. They had lost two artillery squadrons and more than 300 mechas. If this continues, the entire artillery brigade will be disabled.

"How is that possible!" Qin Wu was shocked. According to the intelligence report, the expeditionary force only has 3,000 artillery mechas, of which 1,000 are deployed on the southwest line of Nolan Snow Mountain. Fully calculated, there are only about 2,000 mechas here in the weathered rock group.

Although the artillery mechas on the coalition side are a bit older, there is an artillery brigade, and together with those deployed by other armored divisions, there are more than 5,000 mechas. The firepower is stronger than the opponent's.

"I don't know why, but their artillery shells seem to have eyes. They hit wherever they point. The hit rate is too high!" said the artillery battalion captain. He thought it was too abnormal. The accuracy of the opponent's artillery shells could almost catch up with the tactics before the cataclysm.

Missile.

Qin Wu thought for a while and then ordered, "The artillery position retreated five kilometers."

In the last fight, he already knew clearly that Chen Xing's Heavenly Armed Forces were tactical satellites.

Things manifested by psychic energy have very obvious characteristics, such as unstable energy positions, carrying the user's life mark, etc.

Secondly, imperial spirits, fake weapons, and heavenly weapons all have different energy structures and amplitudes, and it is not difficult to distinguish them.

If satellites have positioning capabilities, it is not surprising that artillery can be accurate.

There were various indications that the opponent's satellite did not have unlimited visual range, but had a certain detection range. However, he didn't know exactly how big this range was, so he could only try step by step.

Sure enough, after retreating five kilometers, the extremely precise shelling disappeared.

However, after increasing the distance, the hit rate of artillery on both sides dropped significantly. Chen Xing directly ordered to stop the bombardment, save ammunition, and continue to wait and see.
