Chapter 536: Shortcuts
The war on Wusheng Island only allowed Su Jing's new recruits to meet the passing standards. If they wanted to enter the continent of the Kingdom of Evil God, these soldiers were not very reliable.
If Su Jing's excellent equipment was not available and the order could be given to the level of the squad leader, the difficulty of controlling these recruits would be unimaginable.
Even if the Three Islands of Hell are meat grinders, Su Jing has to invest his troops to fight, and do not wait for the popularization of new weapons.
The area of Jinyufutu itself has exceeded the next island to be captured. In addition to the fixed-quota sailors, there are also reserves for militarized management.
Lin Xiehong was not old and had quite violent methods. She conquered the qualified soldiers she recruited to Su Jing and others, and not many left behind. Jinyufutu became her prisoner-of-war camp.
On the huge warship, there were recruits training everywhere. The training subjects were similar to those of Dong Qin, and only minor adjustments were made. Lin Xiehong followed her father to the border of the Northern Region since she was a child. She was familiar with the military training.
This time I faced an island with an almost square shape, with a flat core and a strange terrain. However, the flat area of this island is more than twenty feet higher than the sea level. Even if the surrounding mountains are flattened, it is impossible to flood the island.
In the sky, a large number of airships were suspended at high altitudes to collect intelligence. Under the erosion of the hell realm, these airships had a service life of more than three years, which was directly shortened by about ten times.
After this battle, all used airships will be retired even if they are not shot down. Moreover, the materials eroded by the power of the domain cannot be recycled.
This is an irreparable loss and must be calculated in the cost of war.
On the other side of the Three Islands of Hell, more than 100,000 soldiers have already boarded this square island. The Allied forces named the island Basin Island, which is not appropriate. However, it is just a code name, not a tourism development, so it has to be a loud and attractive name.
Originally, there were more than 60,000 troops on this island, and there were more than 100,000 residents. Now there are 300,000 people on the island. Compared with the plains of the island, there are very few people.
However, the island itself has only two ports, and they are still on one side of the island. It is not impossible to fly over the mountain and drop troops downward. Su Jing discussed it and simply took on the task himself and docked the fleet on the back of the island, without the port side. The peak on this side is about four hundred feet high, which is already quite majestic. This is equivalent to one kilometer on the earth.
Only Princess Wuyou's fleet was waiting here and supported Su Jing at any time. The other three fleets drove to the two harbor areas to prepare for the attack.
As soon as Su Jing started to airborne, the attack on the other side was carried out at the same time.
This method cannot be concealed by the enemy, and it is still a tough fight. There is no way, this is fighting in the realm of hell. The enemy's magician can easily obtain this kind of information.
Su Jing had many soldiers on hand. The last battle was not long, so he used rotation to fight.
There are only 300,000 people on the island. If the two ports are broken, there will be basically no danger to defend. Su Jing is here, and investing 80,000 people is enough.
Forty thousand veterans from Dong Qin and 40,000 recruits.
Su Jing made preparations with both hands. He invested 80,000 people, only one-fifth of his troops. No matter what kind of enemy comes from the Three Islands of Hell, he can have enough troops to deal with it. Jinyufutu and Lieyang Divine Phoenix Army are also behind the Basin Island, and the battle in front is the most difficult.
Unlike the earth. Su Jing's airborne troops have enough heavy weapons to use. The enemy's air force is limited to the powerful Jindan, and there is also a kind of summoning creature. The summoning creature is a thing of the undead, a bone wolf with wings. It should be a variety cultivated by grafting. Su Jing has read a lot of information about various evil gods in the royal library, and there are also systematic summary. This type of bone wolf with two wings is a structural analysis of things used to ride, not natural.
If you compare the weapons of Dong Qin, it will be like a divine weapon puppet.
The number of flying bone wolfs was not large. When the fleet arrived, it was suppressed back to the ground by the floating warships in the sky. Those bone wolfs were obviously the same as the Fei Yuan soldiers, and they were responsible for detecting the enemy situation. The combat power may be similar to that of the Qi Refiners in the early stage of foundation building. There are about 400 to 500 heads in the entire Basin Island.
There is a temple on the Basin Island. This time the enemy was very prepared for it. The floating warship tried to throw the coordinate metal cone several times, but they were all destroyed in the air. The enemy's strong men and archers were all guarding the temple, fearing that the temple would be destroyed.
Su Jing estimated that there are teleportation arrays or summoning arrays in the temple, and the combat effectiveness of warriors on the island can be doubled through evil magic.
The floating warship first carried the engineering battalion, seized more than a dozen hills on the back of the island, and arranged a fort on it.
After the turret was arranged, Su Jing asked the large floating warships to send soldiers. Under the protection of the small floating warships, battalion-level units of 5,000 people quickly gathered on the ground. There was no wide avenue here, and the new chariots had not been built, and about a thousand eagles were transported to replenish them.
Otherwise, the eagle beasts who pulled the cart would be killed in battle, and these chariots would be destroyed. Without a flat road, the soldiers would not be able to work together to transfer these heavy chariots.
Su Jing stood on a hill, overlooking the plain in front of him. With stargazing, the entire island was within his sight. This was Su Jing's advantage and no one could replace him.
Su Jing also saw the veins on the earth quite clearly. Below the entire island, there is a hexagram array with a diameter of more than twenty miles. This hexagram array connects the formations of the entire Hell Islands area, and the enemy's troops are also moving in this hexagram array.
There were enemies at a distance of more than 30 miles ahead of his wings. The total number of enemies was only more than 8,000. Su Jing's army had already landed, and more than 1,000 enemies were gathering and advancing here.
Su Jing calmly commanded a battalion soldiers to fight. The mixed battalion had twenty chariots, five hundred heavy cavalry, and five hundred archers. The chariots rushed forward with one horse, and the two wings were archers and cavalry to fight the heavy cavalry behind them, and they were not as fast as the chariots.
Su Jing ordered the speed to be reduced and not to be out of touch with the infantry behind. Because the distance was too close, the infantry had not boarded the horse or took a carriage, and had already worn armor, held weapons, and entered a state of combat. The cavalry rushed too fast, and the infantry could not keep up. Even if they were victorious, and there were no infantry following the charge, it would be impossible to annihilate the enemy. There would always be some escape.
Su Jing's worries are not unreasonable. Unlike the veterans of Dong Qin, the new recruits he recruited are now full of confidence. After several victories, they are a little ignorant of the sky and earth.
Indeed, with twenty chariots and one thousand cavalry, winning against more than a thousand enemies is no problem. With the same force, Su Jing's Allied forces have not encountered evenly matched opponents.
The problem is here. This time the enemy is a believer of the evil god and is fighting at the evil god's base camp. These people will not collapse and will fight to death unless the magician ordered them to retreat.
The distance between the two sides quickly approached the two miles. The serial crossbow arrows on the chariot immediately flew out and shot towards him. The enemy was relatively scattered, and more than a thousand people were riding pony and holding short spears.
The formation is so scattered that they cannot form impact force when they encounter infantry.
Su Jing shook his head and should wait until he gets closer before starting to shoot. The serial crossbow is not a ground dragon arrow, and its penetration is only enough to kill two enemies. This is still the case of close-range shooting. At such a long distance, the enemies are all cavalry, and it is easy to avoid the attack when there is no high-speed charge.
Even if you can't escape, you can resist it with your shield. The cavalry on the pony has a small shield in all shapes on its left arm, which looks like something made of the bones of a sea beast. It is dark in color and has divine texts on it.
Puff!
The first round of attack was more than 200 crossbow arrows. Fortunately, the new recruits' shooting skills were not good, and many crossbow arrows did not adjust the angle, and attacked the enemy's war horses.
At least thirty crossbow arrows shot the horse's legs directly off, and more than a dozen soldiers who hit the enemy and overturned the soldiers.
This kind of record is terrible. If the crossbow arrows were not shot a little bit and some war horses were damaged, the effect would have been even worse.
If you shoot within one mile, the results of the battle will double, and you can even kill more than one hundred enemies. What Su Jing cares more about is that those cavalry who lost their war horses will jump up from the horse's back when the war horses fall down, with agile body, holding a short spear in his hand. When they leap, they have changed into a running posture. When they forcefully land, they do not look discomfort.
Only six soldiers were shot in the chest. The wound was too big and they died. The rest was only shot in one arm.
Only a small amount of blood was flowing out from the wound of the broken arm, without any sign of ejaculation. The soldier who had lost his arms simply threw away the bow and arrow behind him, without his right hand, and simply pulled out his long sword with his left hand, and his fighting spirit did not decrease at all.
This cavalry is really fierce.
If it were an ordinary heavy crossbow without applying runes and insufficient speed, even those six people would not be able to shoot.
The commanders on the chariot immediately realized that it was inappropriate. The rules in Su Jing's army were very strict. The orders they issued were not a problem, but the results of the battle were not good and if they continued to do that, they would be punished.
Prepare, crossbow!
The commanders shouted one by one, and at the same time, the war drums on the chariot also began to sound. These war drums are all rune-activated, without any need to be beaten. Once they sound, they will immediately increase morale and reduce the influence of the field.
"Ye?" Su Jing saw an energy trajectory in the air. As the more than a thousand cavalry moved, the height was only within a hundred feet. If it weren't for stargazing, he would not have been able to sense it with his spiritual power.
That energy trajectory is obviously someone who has been paying attention to it.
Magician!
