Chapter 265 Midnight Shelling

(fixed)

At noon, Wang Zhouzhi looked up and looked around, and sighed slightly. As one of the generals of the state of Jin, the "Northern General", Wang Zhouzhi did not want to fight against Anyang this time.

The reason is very simple. Before leaving, Wang Zhouzhi asked a well-known local Taoist priest named "Miao Congrong" for divination.

In other words, divination may not be completely accurate, and people can still cultivate immortals-this even changes their fate; so the prophecy is just a reference, but at least it is not a good divination. In the words of the Taoist priest, it was "wrong timing" for Jin to send soldiers this time.

Moreover, Miao Calm's divination has always been very accurate, and he is known as the "Tiekou Hades"-this guy has never said anything good, and he likes to watch others panic, panic, and lose their minds...

It's just that His Majesty has an order, and Wang Zhouzhi can't refuse or ask for leave, so he can only order the soldiers to set off. As one of the "Four Generals" of the Jin State, Wang Zhouzhi is not timid. So what if the timing is wrong, didn't I say that there is always a chance of life in the world.

Wang Zhouzhi led the army forward in a mighty manner, and only a few soldiers from Nanyang County led the team in front. The 300,000 army stretched for more than 40 miles, rushing to the north like a tide.

"With such a large army, even if the timing is wrong, their lives will not be in danger!" Wang Zhouzhi thought.

While marching, Wang Zhouzhi heard a roar in the sky. When he looked up, he saw a black spot flying out from behind the mountain in front left; when he looked carefully, it was an airplane. These planes flew very fast; by the time Wang Zhouzhi found out, these planes had dropped bombs and climbed.

"Enemy attack!" Wang Zhouzhi yelled, but it was too late. By the time the army was ready, the plane had already climbed and gradually accelerated to fly away. The bomb, on the other hand, fell rapidly at a speed exceeding that of the plane, which exceeded the attack speed of Jin Danqi Feijian.

Two hundred planes dropped more than 5,000 bombs at one time. The Jin army, which was bombed for the first time, had no experience in defense. Some people use flying swords to "cut" the bombs, some people defend the bombs as "rocks" that will not explode, and some people use the bombs as an alternative spell to block. Most importantly, all marched closely.

"Spread away!" Wang Zhouzhi shouted anxiously, but he forgot how to scatter in the current situation—more than 5,000 bombs fell like a catastrophe, and the soldiers of Jin State were so densely packed that no one thought of it. Attacked halfway.

Boom... Boom...

Pieces exploded and unfolded, and the smoke of gunpowder blossomed, and at the same time, lives withered. Five thousand aerial bombs exploded almost simultaneously, within a radius of one kilometer, and tens of thousands of soldiers were blown away. On the hillside, there was a mess, with stumps and broken arms like rain, wailing and screaming like waves.

A few drops of muddy blood and a piece of mud spilled on Wang Zhouzhi's face and shoulders, and Wang Zhouzhi stared at the messy battlefield in a daze. No need to count, just look at the general area, look at the corpses everywhere, and Wang Zhouzhi has an approximate figure - 20,000 to 25,000 casualties!

This has not yet reached the battlefield, and there are already such casualties. There were only a handful of survivors within the range of the explosion; these survivors were not intact. At this moment, the explosion was over, and many survivors were like wooden stakes, only their heads were shaking from side to side. On the one hand, he was dizzy from the explosion, and on the other hand, he couldn't believe the tragedy.

After a long time, Wang Zhouzhi had no choice but to accept the status quo, then gritted his teeth and continued to lead the troops forward; but this time, let all the soldiers disperse, form a small team with a hundred or ten people, leaving enough space to hide around. It's just that the soldiers were still terrified by the bombing.

Next, the plane bombing continued continuously. Sometimes there were only three or five planes, and sometimes dozens of planes, just to make the Jin army uncomfortable-no one knew how many planes would be bombed next time, and which location would be bombed.

Especially in the ensuing battle, the plane not only dropped bombs, but also used machine guns! Every machine gun attack is a tragic killing. The form of warfare changed, resulting in the 'killing of life by machines'.

Pieces and pieces, after Wang Zhouzhi advanced a hundred miles, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured! When the plane flies in the sky, it goes from north to south, from east to west, and there is no trace to be found; instead, the march on the ground is all within the monitoring range of the plane.

As the army led by Wang Zhouzhi approached the boundary of Anyang, the distance for the aircraft to replenish supplies became shorter and shorter, and the attacks became more and more violent. Many soldiers of the Jin State have begun to fear!

No one can bear the continuous bombing of planes overhead, sometimes a single bomb can kill more than a dozen people! Sometimes when the plane dives once, the machine gun can sweep out a real "blood path".

Anyang is crazy, he doesn't care about the consumption of arms at all. If it is another county, there are limits to shells, etc., but Anyang has no limit at all. No one knows that Anyang has long used the guise of arms sales to hide a large amount of arms in the border fortress.

Wang Zhouzhi roared angrily, and dispatched Jindanqi masters to intercept, and shot down three or two planes, but it didn't help. Anyang is still bombing frantically. Sometimes planes drop bombs from an altitude of three thousand meters. Although this height is a bit high and not very accurate, it doesn't matter, the 300,000 army, there are targets all over the mountains and plains.

The fall of three or two planes did not dispel Anyang's determination; since it is a war, casualties are inevitable.

On the contrary, the army of the Jin State began to stagnate - facing this unprecedented and unfamiliar fighting method, the army of the Jin State that had been in peace for hundreds of years was really a little scared. The state of Jin is a large country in the east, with a land width of 5,000 miles, almost twice the size of the Great Xia state, and there has been no war for many years.

It's okay to say that he won the battle, but when he came out, he was beaten up with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and he couldn't fight back. It really had a serious impact on the morale of the Jin army. Moreover, the scene of the bomb explosion was too lively, as if the god of thunder had come into the world, and the unprepared Jin army was always in fear-this was the psychological impact of the bomb.

So now, some soldiers have begun to collapse, "We can only be beaten, but we can't hit the enemy. I want to go home..."

It’s just that we have already advanced here, and it is impossible to turn back; Wang Zhouzhi can only grit his teeth to persuade the soldiers and encourage them to have the last ounce of courage—we have no retreat now, and we will be able to see Li Lisong when we reach the front line. Handsome, it's time for us to take revenge!

Finally, supported by the concept of revenge, the team moved on.

It's just that Marshal Li Lisong, who Wang Zhouzhi and others placed high hopes on, is now frowning and angry.

Needless to say, with a sad face, the 10,000 elites were wiped out, and they almost became lonely. It's strange to be happy. As for the anger, besides the destruction of his own army, there is also the current situation - the soldiers of Dongyuan County and Nanyang County can't live or die!

To be exact, General Yuan Jinjiang of Dongyuan County and Nangong Zhi, Commander of Nanyang County, both disagreed to cross the river to fight; not only did they not agree to cross the river to fight, but they also retreated five miles, saying that they wanted to let the soldiers take a good rest. Then, of course, it is waiting for the arrival of the Jin army!

Li Lisong really wants to shout now: Teammates like pigs! Our country of Jin destroyed Anyang's main artillery with the "Wanjian Great Formation" just now, leaving their defenses empty. As a result, these "pig teammates" not only did not attack, but retreated! If possible, Li Lisong really wanted to catch these bastards, slap them one by one, break their necks and throw them into the Xiandai River to feed the fish!

But after the anger passed, Li Lisong also gradually figured it out—Jin State was too eager to want Anyang's technology, talents, etc., so it was caught by Nanyang County and Dongyuan County.

Don't you Jin want technology? OK, you go to fight, we wave the flag and shout. The most important thing is that Jin has now been involved in the war with Anyang, and it is impossible to stop! On the contrary, Nanyang County and Dongyuan County may give in at any time!

After thinking through these issues thoroughly, Li Lisong really wanted to slap himself in the face! Only at this moment did Li Lisong understand that he was just a commander in chief, marching and fighting, and general political adjustments were all right; but if he had to fight face to face with politicians, it would not be enough.

Behind Nangong Zhi is Kong Donglai, behind Yuan Jinjiang is Yuan Yong, neither Kong Donglai nor Yuan Yong is simple. Well now, after Jin Guo and Anyang faced each other, Kong Donglai and Yuan Yong started to draw the ladder.

At this moment, Li Lisong received another letter from Northern General Wang Zhouzhi—we were bombed!

This really added fuel to the fire, Li Lisong only felt an unknown karmic fire rising in his heart, and it began to burn his reason.

Taking a deep breath, trying to calm down his emotions, Li Lisong began to reflect. Reflect on your own fighting style, reflect on the changes in warfare caused by arms, and think about how you should deal with this change.

Before there was no ammunition, most of the battles were well-regulated, and the two armies confronted head-on; even if they occasionally sent Nascent Soul stage masters to carry out assassinations, the success rate was not high; even Nascent Soul stage masters would be buried by the crowd.

But now it is different. Planes fly in the sky and attack with bombs; artillery bombards from a distance of five or six miles, or even farther. All attacks have only one goal: to destroy the enemy's vital forces; well, that's the polite way of saying it, literally "slaughter", "destroy", "destroy".

Nanyang County and Anyang fought for half a day, with more than 200,000 casualties; although there are a large number of civilians involved, this number is shocking enough.

In the past, millions of people from the two sides faced each other. At the end of the day, if the two sides added up, 30,000 to 50,000 people died. But now, in half a day, more than 200,000 people were killed or injured unilaterally.

Li Lisong woke up suddenly - he couldn't fight anymore, otherwise Jin would suffer a big fall! Anyang itself produces arms. Machine guns, artillery, airplanes, and locomotives are fortified layer by layer; if Anyang adopts the strategy of "exchanging space for time, exchanging time for killing", Jin's 300,000 troops can be wiped out in two days!

Anyang can wipe out 200,000 people in Nanyang County, 100,000 people in Dongyuan County, and 300,000 people in Jin State! At least, Anyang has not spread any negative information so far.

But Li Lisong is the commander-in-chief of a country after all, of course he is not an idiot; it is obviously impossible to retreat directly, and it will also lose face. Even if he doesn't care, the emperor of Jin and the state of Jin also need this face-you can't beat even a small Anyang, you Don't lose it.

Moreover, if the soldiers were to be stopped like this, the princes in the court would not agree, or they would lose their status if they did not do so. Turning his eyes around, Li Lisong really came up with an idea, to send someone directly to negotiate with Anyang, let's try to talk first! But that will have to wait for the main force led by Wang Zhouzhi to arrive and have confidence.

That's it!

Li Lisong's mind is full of reverie: Even if Anyang still has the ability to fight, it should be exhausted; when the time comes, as long as my country Jin expresses its willingness to withdraw from the war, Anyang will definitely offer some industrial technology with both hands; It is enough to have three technologies of "artillery guns, underground turbid gas extraction, and machines for machine production".

Fantasy is always wonderful, and Li Lisong is no exception. At this time, Li Lisong's mood changed when he heard the sound of cannons roaring outside - in the future, Jin will also have such powerful artillery. Well, when the time comes to attack Qi State in the west and Liu State in the south, you will definitely beat them to pieces!

Gradually, Li Lisong has begun to conceive and imagine the future scene: thousands of artillery roar, the enemy army is defeated, he leads the elite all the way to the enemy's palace, and captures the enemy's emperor alive!

Time passed quietly, and night gradually fell. The 300,000 army led by Wang Zhouzhi finally arrived in a stumbling manner; at the same time, there were also planes bombing continuously in the sky.

Of Wang Zhouzhi's 300,000 troops, there were only more than 230,000 left. During this period, he encountered a surprise attack by Anyang's elite troops. The 230,000 troops were in low spirits; when they came to the shore and heard the continuous explosions here, many soldiers were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and squatted down directly with their heads in their hands-it was all natural to react.

Jin's long-standing peace, long-term success, and long-standing arrogance were completely shattered in this war. Facing the double attack from the sky and the ground, and facing an enemy that is not easy to see, the soldiers of Jin State were really afraid.

Seeing such a team, Li Lisong could only sigh, and made up his mind again - even if he tried his best not to, he still had to negotiate with Anyang. Taking advantage of the power of Jin and the current situation in Anyang should be able to achieve the goal.

Once things are figured out, the order will be much clearer; for example, this time, what the Jin State wants is not war, but technology. As long as the technology can be obtained, it is fine for Jin to withdraw its troops immediately. Anyway, those two allies are also allies who are holding back, so whether you want it or not.

It's just that the idea is good, but the battle in front of us will continue! On this day, the 300,000 troops of the Jin State finally arrived; however, Anyang also replenished all the artillery - all the artillery was directly transported by aircraft and aircraft.

Almost at the same time that the Jin army arrived, a total of fifty 150mm artillery pieces and 100 105mm artillery pieces were adjusted!

Yan Zhengqing gave an order: "Let go! Fire up all the shells!"

Dozens of large four-engine planes rumbled down from the sky, and there were thousands of large artillery shells crashing. These planes specially used for transportation are relatively slow, depicting a large number of "floating cloud formations", and their load capacity is very outstanding.

In addition to shells, there are also machine guns, and even the 30mm rapid-fire machine guns used on ironclad ships-specially prepared for the masters of the foundation period. You can block ordinary bullets, I'll replace you with machine guns, and you charge and try again. What's more, the range of the machine gun is farther, as high as three kilometers; even the lethality against the masters of the foundation stage is as high as one kilometer.

The corner of Wang Jian's mouth twitched next to him—to light up the shells? Unless the arsenal stops production, there will be an absolute steady stream of shells! Just look at these massive planes.

When Li Lisong, Marshal of the State of Jin, and Wang Zhouzhi, General of the North, were discussing, they saw a fire light up on the north bank of the Xiandai River, and then a huge explosion exploded on the south bank. The shell coverage range is as far as ten miles!

"There are so many cannons!" Li Lisong was immediately stunned.

…………

Under the same night, when Yan Zhengqing launched the attack, on the east coast of Jin State, five ironclad ships braved the wind and waves, and quickly approached the coast of Jin State.

The darkness couldn't stop the practitioner's eyes, Chang Lin looked at a brightly lit place in front of him, "This is it, Baize Town, the largest salt field by the seaside of Jin State, and also the seaside government office of Jin State; tens of thousands of people are usually stationed there. "

"Yes. I heard that the person who sits here is Cheng Liqiu, the son of Cheng Yunbo, the 'General of the East' of the Jin Kingdom, a master of the late Jindan stage." An Anyang businessman replied. This Anyang businessman went around doing business, and invisibly became a different kind of spy.

Chang Lin chuckled: "Very well, pass the order and prepare for shelling. Five thousand marines are preparing to land, and try to capture Cheng Liqiu alive! And completely destroy Baize Town."
