Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 722: War of attrition
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Journey to the End of the World!
Zhang Tianliu squinted his eyes and looked at the layout of Fengwen City.
In the past, Fengwen City was mostly similar in style to the Twin Cities. Nowadays, Fengwen City has lost its masonry walls and replaced them with copper and iron walls. The whole city is like a metal fortress, indestructible.
"This strong sci-fi style was not created by aliens. I won't believe it." Zhang Tianliu withdrew his gaze and honestly pushed the siege equipment closer to Fengwen City.
"The general has orders to advance three miles further."
"Three miles! We're almost at the gate! It's too dangerous." Someone beside Zhang Tianliu muttered.
His dissatisfaction is not without reason. He has always said that General Wei has no cannon fodder, but this time the order is obviously to let him serve as cannon fodder.
We are now only five miles away from Fengwen City. If we advance three miles further, we will be two miles away. Rune arrows from a distance of one thousand meters are extremely lethal, not to mention the bombardment of evil insects.
The evil insect cannon has higher power and range than the rune arrows, but it is not accurate enough. Logically speaking, this is impossible. It is certain that the evil insect equipment is more precise than the rune equipment, and accuracy and precision are Closely related, it is accurate but not guaranteed under the premise of advanced equipment. Is this possible?
Of course it is possible!
The competition in war is not only about equipment, but also about reasonable tactics.
The Evil Insect Cannon is actually very accurate, but it just misses people because it’s too much!
In order to increase accuracy, the muzzle of the evil insect cannon is very long. Humans can easily find themselves being targeted by the evil insect cannon. In addition, inspiration runes are basically installed in the rune helmet. This thing is a weapon for anti-reconnaissance, just like a monk. Just like alerting someone with their spiritual sense when someone is staring at them, soldiers can immediately get the signal of being targeted and dodge.
In order to prevent humans from escaping the evil insect cannon, the evil insect has increased the power of the cannonballs again and again, and has a detonating device. When the cannonball passes by people, it detonates the cannonball, and its lethality is enough to blast nearby people. Killed to pieces.
But you have a good plan, how can I not have a ladder to cross the wall!
Since you can’t dodge the cannonballs by relying on your physical fitness, then just resist!
As a result, various runic instruments appeared.
The siege engine pushed by Zhang Tianliu is a mobile fortress with extremely strong defense, with as many as 30,000 defensive runes used on it!
This is undoubtedly a terrifying number. Its expensive maintenance cost can quickly deplete the inventory of the Air Force. In addition, Beijun’s current lack of resources means that if it is put on the field, if it cannot win the Fengwei City, General Wei will be used as underwear. Get your money back.
As intelligent creatures, the evil insects must have figured out the shortcomings of the rune fortress and will bombard it with all their strength until all 30,000 runes are destroyed and the rune fortress becomes useless. Then it will be impossible for General Wei to make a comeback!
It's easy to say, but not so easy to do.
This time, Wei Rong prepared twenty rune fortresses, and they did not have offensive capabilities!
This was the stupidest tactic in the past, because there are no crossbowmen in the fortress. These twenty rune fortresses are mobile walls, but they are obviously inferior to other people's copper walls and iron walls, so crossbowmen are needed to draw hatred, and then The infantry climbed the wall, but Wei Rong gave up the remaining attack power. The Rune Fortress became a mere target. What use could it be if it could not attract the flames of war?
Yes!
The so-called cleverness leads to misunderstanding. Wei Rong knew that the shortcomings of the rune fortress had been discovered. Regardless of whether there were crossbowmen inside, the evil insects would attack with all their strength, thus consuming their rune inventory.
At this resource station, the evil insects knew that Wei Rong could not afford it.
But today is different from the past. Human beings have new equipment, and the crossbowmen are useless!
The crossbowman is the unit that consumes the most resources, because each qualified arrow requires three runes, and one arrow shoots out three runes. A small-scale battle consumes 1,800 arrows. Normally, that is three thousand runes!
For example, if it is a siege battle now, and a large number of arrows are needed, at least 100,000 runes will be needed in one battle!
As for the lethality, the power of today's rune arrows is no longer enough to destroy the alloy insect armor of the evil insects. They are more used to hinder or cover.
In other words, after using the old tactics, Wei Rong will need 100,000 runes to put into cover!
Can this really be called a cover? This is a waste of money!
So Wei Rong found another way and conceived a new set of tactics to be used in this battle!
The barbarian bone armor on Zhang Tianliu's body glows with a blood-red luster. This is the ultimate expression of the use of barbarian bone armor. It can give Zhang Tianliu a powerful force, and there are as many as 400 soldiers pushing the rune fortress. Only in this way can he barely Push the rune fortress weighing one hundred thousand kilograms.
Although their movement was slow and they still had to withstand artillery attacks, the masonry that lost the protection of defensive runes exploded one after another, forming a field of rubble but it did not hinder their advancement, because this was snow, and Wei Rong took advantage of the snow. The topography of the sky smoothly allowed Rune Fortress to advance within a kilometer of Phoenix Pattern City.
As a result, Rune Fortress suffered even more intense artillery bombardment.
The deafening business made the soldiers behind the fortress miserable, but they could not leave because they still had the task of assisting the rune craftsmen in repairing the rune fortress and replacing the bricks that had lost the power of runes. Otherwise, the power of the opponent's artillery fire would In less than half a stick of incense time, the Rune Fortress will be shattered into pieces.
However, the runesmith has not caught up yet, and the soldiers of the Death Fortress have had a short respite.
Zhang Tianliu took this opportunity to secretly watch the evil insect's shells.
Because the evil insect shells are highly precise and there is currently no dumb cannon, Zhang Tianliu cannot obtain physical research and can only figure out the materials of the shells through on-site viewing.
This is a kind of bomb that is like a goddess scattering flowers.
If Rune Fortress did not fully protect the soldiers inside, Zhang Tianliu's group of four hundred people would all die with just one shot!
Dense cluster bombs fell like a heavy rain on the rune fortress. In just a few seconds, the first layer of rune bricks had been shattered, and some seriously damaged areas had been blasted to the fourth layer!
The Rune Fortress has ten floors in total. In just a few breaths, nearly half of it was damaged in some places. How can we fight next?
Of course the soldiers were worried about this problem, but Zhang Tianliu was not worried. Looking for Shuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuan.comｏｏｏｏｏｏｏｏｏｏｏｏｏｏｏ It is used for war. When there is a gap between the attacks of the cluster bombs, it will be time for the human race to counterattack.
Seeing that the most severely damaged part of the Rune Fortress was broken open on the seventh floor, the ground beneath Zhang Tianliu and others suddenly bulged out. Several soldiers rushed out carrying artifacts that looked like engineer shovels, and turned around to shovel the ground into the cave. The runesmith was pulled out.
Soon, the runesmith was in the fortress commanding the soldiers to repair the fortress.
Although they cannot go outside to repair, which will cause the internal space of the fortress to become smaller and smaller, this is the effect they want.
It doesn’t matter if it’s small, it’s enough to attract the flames of war!
The extra people left through the newly dug tunnel and carried rune bricks to the rear to continuously reinforce the internal space.
Wei Rong cannot afford such a war of attrition, but neither can the evil insect!
The channels have all been cut off. We only had the South Road of Beijun cut off. As for the evil insects, they only have one base in Fengwen City. Only by pulling out the entire nail can Beijun have the capital to continue fighting the evil insects.
