Afterwards, they will be transported by truck before they can enter the Star Luo Empire.
During this period, it will take quite a long time, and therefore, Qian Nawei's troops are still using the magic arm crossbow and yew longbow as the main projectile weapons, and the artillery is not equipped with new artillery, and the old artillery is still in use. Hole fired shells.
In the north-central part of the Star Luo Empire, the Wuhun Empire occupies one side. Qian Nawei stood at a forward company-level headquarters with sandbags and awnings slightly behind. After a look, she was quite satisfied with the soldiers .
Then, next, it is time to look at the Star Luo Empire.
Qian Nawei pondered in his heart, took out a telescope from his soul guide bracelet, lifted it up to his eyes, and looked far ahead.
In the field of vision, two miles away, is the position of the Star Luo Empire, and at the same time it is a towering barrier to prevent the advance of the Wuhun Empire, the Star Luo Empire Yewen Mountain Range!
On the towering hillside, as well as at the foot of the mountain at the lower end of the hillside, there are densely packed round, large and small potholes, like bullet holes punched out of the mountain!
Through these potholes, Qian Nawei can see not only people walking around in the potholes, but also a sand wall made of stacked sandbags.
In the middle of the sand wall, facing the direction of the Wuhun Empire, you can still see some small circular holes.
It's the muzzle!
The muzzles of the guns were aimed at the direction of the Wuhun Empire collectively, it was dark and palpitating.
Because of the angle of some cannons, Qian Nawei could still see the barrel with a big "Tang" engraved on it.
Yes, these are the cannons made by Tangmen!
Since Tang San seized and researched the 88mm armor-piercing gun, he studied and imitated it by himself, and successfully copied the 88mm armor-piercing gun exclusive to Tangmen.
In terms of caliber and volume, the armor-piercing cannon made by the Tangmen is exactly the same as the Wuhun Empire's, there is no difference.
The only difference is that Tang San built an anti-disassembly device on the cannon on the Tang gate, which will be destroyed as soon as it is dismantled, and there is absolutely no possibility of reassembly.
As for high-explosive cannons, Tang San didn't have the ability to produce high-explosive bombs that could spontaneously ignite and explode on the ground like the Spirit Empire.
The high-explosive ammunition made by Tangmen uses black powder and is housed in a slightly conical metal shell, with a small hole left in the back of the shell to connect the lead wire.
When the gun is fired, the gunpowder at the back of the Tangmen cannon will ignite the front fuse, so that when the projectile is fired, the rear fuze will be ignited.
In this way, the cannonball explosion can also be achieved, and it has a certain power.
However, this kind of power is obviously not comparable to the high-explosive bombs mixed with white phosphorus, chlorate powder, and heavy kerosene of the Wuhun Empire. The power is slightly lower, and the range is also reduced.
Of course, it's still possible to fight a few miles away, which is why the Wuhun Empire has dug trenches.
At this moment, opposite to the trenches of the Wuhun Empire, that is the mountains of the Ye Wen Mountains.
There are no trees on the entire hillside, and the ground is full of turned mud.
This was all caused by the continuous long-term bombardment by the Wuhun Empire's artillery and bombers. From the beginning of the attack to the present, Qiannawei has poured tens of thousands of tons of explosives on this hillside!
A large number of incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs burned and shattered all the trees on the hillside, loosened the soil, and even the entire hillside and hilltop were leveled by one meter!
For this reason, the Star Luo Empire directly dug tunnels and caves into the mountain to withstand the Wuhun Empire's offensive.
In addition, the Star Luo Empire also poured a large amount of barbed caltrops on the front position at the foot of the mountain at the beginning to deal with the Wuhun Empire's charge.
As the saying goes, join if you can't beat it, after learning the lesson from last time, Tang San also began to learn the Spirit Empire's way, switching to large and simple large-scale military hidden weapons to stop the Spirit Empire from attacking.
At the beginning, it did have some effect. Many soldiers were pierced through the soles of their feet and were unable to move.
But then Qian Nawei ordered the bombing by the air force to blow up all the soil on the ground, and then asked the soldiers to come forward with engineering shovels on their backs to lift up all the loosened soil, which perfectly dealt with the obstacles of the barbed wire.
Afterwards, the Star Luo Empire did not pour caltrops on the road any more, leaving only tunnels and positions at the foot of the mountain as barriers.
In the hidden place with a canopy and a sandbag wall, Qiannawei looked into the distance, and then put down the binoculars.
"It seems that we can only continue to intensify the bombing of the Star Luo Empire's logistics, leaving them short of supplies and unable to fight."
For the bombing logistics, the countermeasures that Qian Nawei, Ge Long and others came up with before, because it was already difficult to advance forward, after everyone discussed, they unanimously decided to attack the logistics of the Star Luo Empire.
For quite a long period of time, the Wuhun Empire's air force launched a large-scale bombardment of the Star Luo Empire's grain transportation line and many cities behind the Yewen Mountains, in order to paralyze their ability to transport and store supplies.
In addition, Qian Nawei also ordered a large-scale bombing of Gengxin City of the Star Luo Empire.
As the headquarters of the blacksmith shop, Gengxin City is very prosperous and has a large population.
Through the spies of the Star Luo Empire who followed Tang San, Qian Nawei knew that it was also the Tang Sect's headquarters now, and its manufacturing workshop was located in the blacksmith shop!
Knowing the news, Qian Nawei was of course unwilling to let it go, she immediately ordered the bombing of Gengxin City, trying to blow up the construction facilities of the Tang Sect.
But the Tang Sect moved the Gengxin City construction workshop underground, and the manufactured armor-piercing guns and howitzers were transported at night with power-type soul masters and some bred horses, cleverly avoiding the bombing of the Wuhun Empire.
Of course, because the roads were damaged by bombing, the logistics and transportation of the Star Luo Empire became quite difficult, and the transportation time of a lot of food, ammunition, artillery, and medicine was very long.
There are many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire who do not receive sufficient material support in the tunnels, and their physical condition cannot be maintained at full strength.
If we continue to intensify our efforts to completely destroy the transportation lines of the Star Luo Empire, and use planes to drop surrender leaflets to the Star Luo Empire's positions, we may be able to launch a psychological offensive and gradually disintegrate the defense lines of the Star Luo Empire's army...
In the hidden place of the Wuhun Empire's position, Qian Nawei lightly touched her chin with one hand, and pondered for a while.
But at this moment, suddenly, Mr. Shangguan next to him slapped Qian Nawei's shoulder hard, and threw her horizontally towards the trench ground.
"Lie down!"
"boom--!"
The forward command post with a canopy shook violently, and the wall of sandbags stacked in front shook vigorously.
At the same time, a series of explosions sounded almost at the same time from the positions on the Wuhun Empire's side.
"Bang bang bang bang...!"
Violent explosions raged on the battlefield, and countless mudstones shot up into the sky, flying a dozen or 20 meters into the sky!
The explosion lasted for several seconds, and it could be sensed that the Star Luo Empire fired more than one wave of shells.
After the explosion, Qian Nawei shook her head, shaking off the dust from her long golden hair, and stood up from the trench.
As soon as she stood up, Qiannawei immediately used the binoculars to look in the direction of the Star Luo Empire army formation in the distance.
In the distance, a large number of soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were rushing out of the tunnels at the foot of the mountain and on the hillside, and the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering.
"Kill it!"
A large number of Star Luo Empire soldiers are like tides, but they are not completely densely packed, but in twos and threes. While charging, they observe the movements of the Spirit Empire, constantly moving left and right, and looking for some bullet craters where they can hide their bodies, etc. .
These Star Luo Empire soldiers had already learned their lesson. They knew that once they got together, they would be hit hard by the Wuhun Empire's artillery. At that time, their flesh and blood would not be able to withstand it.
On the side of Wuhun Empire, next to Qian Nawei, Master Shangguan was a little surprised.
"How dare the Star Luo Empire take the initiative to attack?"
These days, through high-intensity bombing, the Star Luo Empire has lost a considerable number of soldiers. Due to the power of the Wuhun Empire's air force, they only dared to attack at night.
However, even if it was a night attack, many soldiers in front of the Wuhun Empire's position had long been experienced, and their defenses were in place. Huge searchlights kept illuminating the front of the position at night, leaving the Star Luo Empire's infantry with no chance to take advantage of it.
The fronts of the two armies' positions are more than 600 meters apart. Once they get closer, they will be shot and killed by the rain of arrows from the God Arm Crossbow after being bombarded by the Spirit Empire's rear.
The range of the God Arm Crossbow is very long, and the effective killing of 510 meters is beyond the reach of all individual projectile weapons.
And once it reaches more than 300 meters, the crossed arrow rain from the Wuhun Empire's divine arm crossbow and yew longbow can cause heavy casualties to the Xingluo army that attacked at night.
And if they form a shield formation, they will move slowly and the target will be exposed hugely.
In front of the Wuhun Empire with artillery, slow movement means death.
The cavalry could not be dispatched. A considerable part of the cavalry of the Star Luo Empire had been killed in the last battle. The remaining cavalry was not many, and the target was huge, so it was not easy to go up the mountain.
Now, the cavalry of the Star Luo Empire are all on standby in a forest in the rear, and they dare not go out in sunny weather. They only dare to come out at night or on rainy days to drink horses and eat pasture.
Therefore, in the current Star Luo Empire, it is very rare to take the initiative to attack, and it is also very unwise.
In the Wuhun Empire's position, Commander Shangguan didn't have time to think about it. The Star Luo Empire's army had rushed within 600 meters, and was about to enter the effective killing range of the God Arm Crossbow.
When Master Shangguan saw it, he immediately waved his hand.
"Send an order to the 59th Regiment to counterattack the enemy, support the artillery, and repel the enemy's attack!"
A semaphore messenger a little far away heard it, and ran outside the shelter of the awning, waved two small flags in his hand, and conveyed the division commander's order to the forefront.
At the front, a semaphore soldier replied with a semaphore, and then notified the general of the position to which he belonged.
Afterwards, many soldiers of the Wuhun Empire adjusted the elevation angle of the god arm crossbow in their hands to about 40 degrees, aimed at the direction of the Star Luo Empire army that was charging to the south, and pulled the trigger.
"Boom...!"
The bodies of many soldiers swayed back neatly and violently, and the god arm crossbow in their hands was raised uncontrollably, and the air beside them shook violently like water waves.
"Woooo...!"
