Chapter 374: Sneak Attack
The night is crazy. Anyang is crazy because of the Yaozu auction, and the war between Xibian, Guangling County and Qi State is also crazy.
Before dawn, Shangguan Guang opened his eyes, the border gate quietly opened, and the selected 30,000 elite quietly left the border. The scouts had already figured out the situation ahead, and the team moved forward quietly. After advancing less than ten miles, Shangguan Guang added an invisibility technique to himself and climbed to the top of the mountain to watch.
I saw about 4 miles ahead, the army of the Qi State set up camp with their backs to the border gate; at this moment, the lights were lit up, stretching for more than 20 miles, almost impossible to see the end at a glance.
"Good opportunity!" Shangguan Guang's eyes brightened. This journey was very smooth, and the enemy was not alarmed! The mode of warfare has changed. A sneak attack is no longer close to the camp, but a sneak attack five miles away.
With the help of spells, more than 180 artillery pieces above 150mm were lined up, and each artillery piece had fifty or sixty shells prepared; the largest artillery caliber was 240mm.
But there were only 500 artillerymen, and more elites fumbled forward for a mile, set up pocket formations, and waited for the enemy to enter an ambush. After all the elites were hidden, Shangguan Guang immediately ordered: "Fire!"
At dawn, it is the time when people are most relaxed. At this moment, they will not wake up, and the body is in a transitional stage. It is a time when both body and spirit are at a low point.
Although Su Zhongge, the general of the Qi State, did not take a break, he was thinking about the strategy after dawn today, and also thinking about the new war mode, etc.; but Su Zhongge, who has not closed his eyes, is now going to close his eyes and rest for a while, preparing for the upcoming war.
Next to him, Zhou Keyin didn't take a break either, but was constantly checking data and information one after another, and studying newspapers, books, etc. brought back from Anyang, especially thinking about new ways of warfare and the application of war tools.
The changes in war and the emergence of arms have brought unprecedented pressure on generals and think tanks.
Also, maybe it was a mess in the middle of a busy schedule, the plane that Qi State was expected to arrive at did not arrive.
The ratios of the surrounding Qin soldiers are all in the golden core stage, and it is easy not to sleep for three to five days. There are also night patrol soldiers on the outer periphery, strictly guarding all movements within a hundred feet.
However, today is destined to leave the most colorful stroke in the history of the Qi State War! The soldiers patrolled within a hundred feet, while the raiders launched a sneak attack five miles away—about 750 feet away, seven times the distance.
When the army of Qi State was in a daze, the world suddenly changed! First, sparks exploded suddenly in the distance, and then the camp was blown apart by thunder!
bang...
Like thunder falling on the ground, like a cow turning over, 180 large shells fell, and thousands of soldiers got on the earth plane in an instant!
However, before the army of Qi State could react, more shells fell one after another! With the help of cultivation methods, the cannonballs were fired almost every three to five seconds. The 180 cannons really formed a carpet bombing.
The shells continued to extend, and the sky collapsed and the earth shattered where they passed, clouds of gunpowder smoke exploded, and lives flew into the sky one by one. The camp tent was blown open, and dirt, debris, and broken limbs flew all over the sky. The pungent gunpowder smoke, blood, and earthy smell, as well as explosions, echoes, and screams, together form an alternative death breath.
No defense, really no defense!
I didn't expect the weak enemy to dare to take the initiative to attack!
I didn't even think that sneak attack could be like this!
After Su Zhongge reacted, the cannonball had already fired six or seven rounds.
"Elite, attack, annihilate the enemy's sneak attack team in one fell swoop!" Su Zhongge had no choice! Seeing the flames flickering on the hills in the distance, watching the explosions around him, seeing the soldiers panicking and bombing the camp, knowing that there might be an ambush ahead, they had no choice but to take the initiative.
The soldiers did not have time to regroup, so every one hundred people formed a team, and as soon as they assembled, they set off one team, in order to disrupt the enemy's attack as soon as possible.
Only at dawn, 180 large-caliber artillery launched an attack, which lowered the morale of Qi soldiers to the extreme; if there was no collapse, the military quality was already excellent.
Because they are not used to the appearance of artillery, the camps of Qi State soldiers are very dense, and often a single artillery shell can take away a dozen or even dozens of lives. Also because of lack of preparation, many masters at the golden core stage were seriously injured or even died.
Su Zhongge had no choice but to show up, roaring to summon the soldiers to fight, and dispatched the most elite troops to attack the enemies ahead.
Suddenly, behind the Qi State military camp, there was an earth-shattering big explosion, and a sun seemed to appear on the earth, billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud; countless burning, broken, large and small pieces Crumbs and debris are scattered all over the sky...
The ammunition depot exploded!
The explosion was so violent that the ground trembled, and a radius of more than three hundred meters was instantly emptied. Then, the shock wave generated by the explosion swept across a distance of a kilometer. Many soldiers in the Qi refining stage within this range were directly comatose or even died, and those above the foundation building stage were blown away. Many unlucky ones were hit by the fragments of the explosion, and the consequences were simply unseen.
A series of bombardments and explosions made Qi's army sluggish, and at least 20,000 soldiers were wiped out!
Following the explosion, Qi's morale fell to the bottom!
In the distance, Shangguan Guang also stared at the huge explosion in astonishment, never expecting to be so lucky.
"Father, this is a good opportunity. We take the initiative to attack and kill a large number of enemies!" Shangguan Yong's eyes glowed, it was the light of longing for victory, the light of killing, and the light of becoming famous forever.
Shangguan Guang hesitated for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Let everyone stop ambush and charge directly with the army to wipe out Qi's vanguard troops, then rush into the enemy camp and kill one back and forth. Attention, quick battle and quick decision, just one back and forth is fine." , don’t be greedy for merit.”
"Understood!" Shangguan Yong nodded. There are only 30,000 elites on my side, and the opponent has 300,000 troops after all. Once blocked, the consequences will be disastrous.
But if the battle is resolved quickly, then this will be an unprecedented victory!
The 30,000 soldiers stopped ambush and rushed out in a mighty force; the thousands of elites in the forefront of Qi were overwhelmed by the 30,000 army with only a few waves. Although Guangling County is not as good as Anyang, the 30,000 troops are all armed with live ammunition; not to mention the support of artillery shells overhead.
Qi State's vanguard was like an egg hitting a rock. Thousands of scattered, panicked, and ill-prepared elites were instantly crushed, and they couldn't even stop the 30,000 elites from Guangling County.
In the rear, Shangguan Guang commanded the soldiers to bombard wildly, making it impossible for the Qi camp in front to be integrated for a while, and the soldiers ran wild and fled desperately.
On Qi's side, General Su Zhongge was in a hurry; whenever he organized a team, he might be bombarded by shells. Such a war situation is really unprecedented, and even Su Zhongge doesn't know how to deal with it.
In the past, if there were masters invading, everyone could siege and obstruct them; however, in the face of artillery shells, such means were stretched—you can't go up to surround the artillery shells, it would be death. In a short period of time, the panicked soldiers could not effectively intercept the shells at all.
The situation became more and more serious, like an avalanche that could not be stopped; at this moment, Shangguan Yong led 30,000 elites to hide and kill. The flustered Qi soldiers were completely panicked!
"Kill!" Shangguan Yong took the lead, and the magic-level flying sword in his hand was invincible, no matter what it was, it would be split by the sword;
Against the backdrop of the burning flames and the pungent gunpowder smoke, the 30,000 elite soldiers in Guangling County are the soul ecstasy envoys who came from hell and harvested souls.
The collective slaughter of 30,000 orderly and confident troops was terrifyingly efficient. With just one charge back and forth, 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers from the Qi Kingdom fell down!
Finally, deserters began to appear in Qi State!
"Do not kill those who run away!" At the critical moment, Shangguan bravely said.
One word to remind the dreamer, suddenly many panicked Qi soldiers began to flee; fleeing is like breaking a dike, as long as there is one leader, there will be ten followers; if there are ten, there will be a hundred , There are a thousand... Then the whole army is defeated!
After rushing back and forth, seeing that it was almost done, Shangguan Yong was not greedy for merit, and immediately led the team to retreat. He retreated before Su Zhongge could integrate all the soldiers, and before the Qi army could react. Along the way, I don't know how many deserters from Qi State were killed. The deserters cannot be let go, and these deserters may also return to the army.
In short, killing one is one!
When the eastern sky was pale, Shangguan Yong finally returned with his army, and before Qi State launched an attack, all the army leisurely withdrew to the border.
More than 30,000 people set off, more than 28,000 people returned, and the battle damage was only about 1,800; however, it brought unimaginable harm to Qi! This is a brilliant victory!
"There are at least 60,000 casualties!" This is Shangguan Guang's estimate.
"If you count the rout and so on, maybe there will be 100,000!" Shangguan Yong is more optimistic, "This time, we should be able to block Qi's attack!"
Shangguan Guang was not too optimistic, "Qi is a truly big country, and its war potential is immeasurable. The casualties of 100,000 people are just a drop in the bucket for Qi; they can make up for the losses in just ten days!" Therefore, the war will continue, we have to be careful!"
"En!" Shangguan Yong nodded, but deep in his eyes, there was a kind of unyielding light shining! This unprecedented victory gave great encouragement and confidence to Shangguan Yong, who participated in the battle for the first time in person.
"When the sun comes out, let's sneak attack with a plane!" Shangguan Yong finally said.
"Why wait for the sun to come out?" Shangguan Guang asked.
"We are in the east, and the enemy is in the west; after the sun comes out, we lean against the sun, while the enemy is facing the sun, and their eyesight is inconvenient. Moreover, they will not think that we will carry out a second sneak attack without even resting, and it is still Air strike!"
As time passed, the sun slowly rose; Su Zhongge's complexion turned black in the Qi camp. After more than an hour of counting, there were only about 180,000 left in the 300,000 army.
In a sneak attack at dawn, at least 60,000 people were killed, and the explosion of the ammunition depot caused about 20,000 casualties; there were still many deserters left. The specific number of deserters cannot be counted in detail for the time being, but it is unlikely to be a minority.
In Xianyu, deserters are too normal, especially in unfavorable conditions of war, the number of deserters may even reach 60-70%! Even in normal marches, especially in large-scale battles, deserters may reach 30-20%!
Seeing the sun rise in the east, Su Zhongge hesitated for a while, and finally decided to temporarily withdraw his troops. The war at dawn has seriously destroyed the confidence of Cai's soldiers; and the explosion of the ammunition depot has made Qi lose the ability to attack.
But sometimes, people can't take it for granted; at this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted, "There is something in the sky!"
Everyone looked up, but the first thing they saw was the dazzling sun. At this moment, the sun had broken through the morning fog, and it was dazzling and dazzling. Under the dazzling sunlight, it was impossible to see the situation of the plane in the sky clearly.
Fortunately, Su Zhongge finally calmed down and saw more than 300 planes suddenly appearing in the sky. And among them, there are more than 50 planes that are extraordinarily huge!
"Not good!" Su Zhongge was shocked, but Su Zhongge, who didn't have much experience in 'Arms War', was also a little flustered for a while. Anyang's "On Modern Warfare Guide" only talked about how to use these weapons, but did not say how to effectively defend against the attacks of these weapons.
But Su Zhongge is a general after all, he had an idea, and immediately yelled: "Use magic to cover the top of your head, those who know the earth escape technique, help each other."
But the plane was too fast, and before the order could be conveyed, the plane had already arrived. Massive aircraft dropped thousands of bombs.
Once again, the earth was shaken, and the army of the Qi State that had just assembled was brutally bombed! It seems that they gathered together just for this bombing.
