Chapter 1726? Siege the city
Early the next morning, the Beidou Army took the lead in going into battle.
The tanks were first in line and the first cover for the soldiers in the rear.
Gao Chong led the soldiers in the second row, while the steam tanks were in the third row.
Because the opponent not only has to provide heavy fire support, but also needs to destroy the opponent's main firepower points in a timely manner.
In addition, if the first bunker in front is destroyed, the soldiers in the front will quickly move back behind the steam tank.
Then rely on this to wait for the next wave of tanks to drive to the front line.
The imperial city is the hardest nut to crack, and the defensive lines outside the city are not worth mentioning.
At least Gao Chong and others, under the cover of rear firepower, had penetrated two lines of defense in 5 minutes.
Of course, this does not rule out the other party's behavior of deliberately avoiding its edge and taking the initiative to retreat, but its efficiency cannot be underestimated.
But then again, the defensive line outside the city is just a cover.
Whether it's Kankuli or Yue Fei and others, they all know that the key to this battle lies in the imperial city.
The former only needs to stick to the imperial city, and it will be useless even if Yue Fei's men capture the five defensive lines.
Beating up the city below is basically the same as me beating up his son. There is not much room for resistance.
Unless Yue Fei and others are not smart.
Otherwise, even if they penetrate the five lines of defense, they will still have to retreat back to their own line of defense.
Or you can also think of the five defensive fronts outside the city as the main battlefields between the two sides.
Kankuli wanted to consume the Tianwu Dynasty's legions in this way.
On the contrary, if Yue Fei and others want to attack the city, they must seize control of the five defense lines.
Of course, Gao Chong resolved the battle within half an hour and still gave Kankuli Gao a look.
Because on two occasions, our side was seized by the opponent when retreating and was defeated.
A hundred-man team composed of elites and high-end cannon fodder is targeted, and the number of people who can successfully withdraw in the end will never exceed double digits.
Imperial City, inside the Elemental Tower.
Through the telescope, Kanculi had a panoramic view of the scene outside the city.
Without waiting for the adjutant to ask questions, he said directly: "The defense of the city wall is divided into left and right sides."
"Attalia is in charge of the left side, and William is in charge of the right side."
"The elemental soldiers are at the front, and a war elite commander is arranged every [-] meters..."
The Tianwu Dynasty's attack was like an unstoppable chariot.
The Kingdom of War is now like a precision machine.
There is no fault in every arrangement of Kankuli. Even Yue Fei could only nod his head in approval.
The high pet outside the city rested for 10 minutes, and then continued to start his unfinished siege.
This time, the tanks were still in the lead, the only difference was that they concentrated most of their firepower at the city gate.
No matter how strong the gates of the imperial city are, they will never be able to withstand the concentrated bombardment of large amounts of artillery fire.
Therefore, the Elemental Kingdom also resorted to the same tactics, once again using the method of attacking, repairing and repairing at the same time.
However, their methods also have flaws.
To put it simply, once the upper limit of attack resistance is exceeded, the defense system of the city wall will collapse.
The high-explosive artillery shells used today are naturally not enough to reach the upper limit of the city wall.
But repairing the city walls in the Elemental Kingdom is not cost-free.
At least when the city wall is severely damaged, the royal family and nobles will integrate elemental soldiers into the city wall.
This skill can strengthen defense and repair damage, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
In other words, high-explosive shells may seem to hit the city wall, but each one can kill almost two to three elemental soldiers.
Compared with the production cost of high-explosive shells, killing two or three cannon fodder is not worth it.
It's just that siege warfare is about efficiency, not calculating costs before fighting.
Moreover, what the Tianwu Dynasty currently lacks is only cultivation resources, but there is no shortage of anything else.
Especially the investment in war resources, Xiao Tianyang has spent a lot of money.
Not to mention the current consumption, even with the current playing style, the Tianwu Dynasty can last for more than half a year.
Of course, if you think that the Tianwu Dynasty's only means of siege is this, then the opponent will definitely suffer a big loss.
A whistling sound sounded in the air, and three types of fighter planes of different specifications flew over the battlefield where Gao Chong was.
The first to attack was a Vulture fighter that was relatively thin, had a limited bomb load, and was extremely flexible.
Their size is only half the size of the Flying Eagle, but their speed is the fastest among the three types of fighters.
The mission of the Vulture fighter is to accurately strike specific targets.
For example, there are forts with fierce firepower, or air defense systems, or important figures of the opponent.
The bomb load of the Vulture fighter can only support the pilot to complete one round of attack, and then he has to return to the military camp for a second reload.
But the existence of the Vulture fighter group also opened up the opportunity for the next two types of fighters to enter the battlefield.
In other words, the Vulture fighter jet group is equivalent to a stepping stone.
The driver's second task is to attack the enemy, and there is no problem even thinking of it as a matter of course.
As for the remaining two fighters, their tasks are not as complicated as the Vulture fighter.
The function of the Flying Eagle armed helicopter is still to suppress the enemy, and its essence is equivalent to a fort in the air.
The last fighter plane, which is twice as large as a large passenger plane, is equivalent to a battleship.
This fighter was named the 'Tianfeng Battleship' by the Shenwu Research Institute, and its main duty is to seize air supremacy.
It has to be said that sometimes researchers who have never set foot on the battlefield are scarier than soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Because Nether Moon has installed almost all the weapons imaginable on the Tianfeng battleship.
It has a bomb load of more than 27 tons and a minimum air control time of [-] hours.
What's even more terrifying is that once the Tianfeng battleship locks onto a target, it can easily pour tens of thousands of small-caliber artillery shells.
It has heavy firepower similar to Gatling, and it is equipped with no less than ten guns.
The sides are equipped with six automatic cannons and four howitzers.
Six professionally trained gunmen with sniper guns were arranged on the left and right sides of the rear.
Apart from the 18 soldiers operating weapons on the Tianfeng battleship, the number of staff responsible for operating the ship itself exceeds double digits.
There are different tasks such as driving, monitoring, reconnaissance, identification, locking, and analysis.
If you don't count the security personnel on it, the total number of soldiers and staff operating weapons is 36.
Ground attack, sky suppression, and then coupled with nearly [-] large-caliber artillery shells from the rear that continued to bombard the imperial city every minute.
If Kankuli hadn't already been familiar with war, this battle alone would be enough to scare most of the new recruits.
Inside the military camp of the Tianwu Dynasty.
Xiao Tianyang held his hands on the railing of the high platform, with a look of shock on his face
"I really didn't expect that our current legion's combat effectiveness would be so strong... When did it happen?"
There aren't many opportunities for him to actually fight alongside the Legion.
Or it can be said that although both sides may be on the same battlefield, once a fight breaks out, no one will care about the other.
Now Yue Fei and others have to face a tough battle, and any moment of distraction may cost dozens of lives.
In the same way, the enemies Xiao Tianyang faced also exceeded the current limit.
If Xiao Tianyang hadn't relied on various means to deal with him, he might not have been able to defeat King Huo.
Don't think that it's okay for him to suffer defeat in Xiao Tianyang's hands.
He climbed to the throne by stepping on other nobles and princes.
At the same time, Xiao Tianyang is a king like the other party, so he naturally understands the hardships behind his position.
If it weren't for the accumulation of divine martial arts in the past ten thousand years, if Xiao Tianyang wanted to step onto the throne, his feet would definitely be full of bones.
It was precisely for the above reasons that Xiao Tianyang did not discover that the Tianwu Dynasty's legion had grown to such an extent.
