Chapter seven hundred and sixty-three, the catapult war with deep pockets(1/2)
As Daniels expected, although the Condors have been winning now and have a great advantage in terms of military strength and strength, they are indeed the side that is eager to end the battle as soon as possible.
Because as more and more troops were transferred to the Guanzhong Basin, even if the Condor Heroes had already seized the reserved food on the Loess Plateau, their logistical pressure was still great.
It is almost time for the autumn harvest season in the northern hemisphere.
After the new grain is harvested, the logistics pressure on the Condor Army can be slightly relieved, but if this continues, the new grain will probably be consumed soon.
If the demon army drags it on the south bank of the Wei River for a year and a half, then drags it on the Shu roads in the Qinling Mountains for another half a year, drags it on the Hanzhong area for another few months, and drags it on the passage into Sichuan for another one and a half years.
Then when the Condor Heroes invade the Sichuan Basin, it will probably take four or five years later.
If it really took four or five years to attack Sichuan, Ning Yuan would definitely end the war with the demon clan immediately.
Because his real enemy is the Northern Expedition Alliance, which is watching the fun on the south bank of the Yellow River, rather than the demon clan who was forced to the front by the Northern Expedition Alliance.
Although the Eagle Empire is mortal enemy of the demon clan, Ning Yuan was not prepared to fight the demon clan at the beginning.
It was the Northern Expedition Alliance that took the initiative to send the demons to the Condor Heroes through a series of behind-the-scenes operations.
Then the next thing was simple. After the two life and death enemies collided head-on, they started fighting without any nonsense, and both vowed to kill each other.
It can be said that neither the Eagle Empire nor the Demon Clan were ready to fight a life-and-death battle with the other party.
However, both of them are enemies of life and death. After hitting head-on, only one of them can survive.
So even though neither of them wanted to start a war so early, they had to do their best to defeat each other.
If the demon army had retreated directly to the Hanzhong area to defend the enemy, Ning Yuan would probably have stopped it and let the demons temporarily let them live for a while.
However, the demon army retreated directly to the south bank of the Wei River to build a defense line, completely looking like they were ready to fight the Demonic Eagle Army.
Therefore, when the Condor Heroes launched the Battle of Crossing the River, the war between the Condor Heroes Empire and the Demons was destined to be impossible to end easily.
Now the demon army has built a second line of defense against the Qinling Mountains, preparing to carry out this desperate battle to the end.
After Ning Yuan led the Silver Pegasus Legion to be severely damaged in the Qinling Mountains, there is only one tactic left for the Condor Heroes Army to use, that is, launch a strong attack from the front.
Although Ning Yuan has always tried his best to avoid attacking the enemy's positions head-on, this does not mean that the Condor Heroes' head-on attack ability is not good.
In fact, the Condor Heroes' head-on attack ability has always been the best one, but Ning Yuan was unwilling to see too many casualties in the army, so he tried his best to avoid it.
When all the tactics that could be imagined were declared failed, Ning Yuan was not a mother-in-law and directly ordered the major legions to press the entire line and prepare to break through the position of the demon army from the front.
He wanted to tell Daniels with practical actions that he had only confronted and not fought before, because the Condor Army did not want to fight. When the Condor Army wanted to fight, the fortifications they built were just a pile of wasteland, which could not stop the Condor Army from advancing.
Although this battle is destined to be unable to completely eliminate the demon army on the south bank of the Wei River, Ning Yuan wants to let every demon warrior know through this battle:
Their so-called strongest race on the ground is just wishful thinking. In front of the elite army of the Condor Army, their strength is not enough.
......
After leaving enough troops to continue to siege Baoji, Ning Yuan transferred all the other main battle infantry corps to the frontier positions.
The moment he decided to launch a strong attack from the front, Ning Yuan directly withdrew all the players of the Tenglong Legion who were continuing to attack the second level in the Baoxie Road.
The players of the Tenglong Legion have been attacking for so many days, but they still have not been able to shake the demon defenders on the second level. If they continue to attack, they will only hurt the morale of the players.
Moreover, instead of sacrificing in the pony axle, it is better to let the players come to the frontal position to continue to shine and heat.
After all the major legions took their place, Ning Yuan immediately ordered the Engineer Corps to push out the assembled catapult and hand it over to the players of the Tenglong Legion.
After the players of the Tenglong Legion took the catapult from the engineer corps, they immediately pushed the catapult to advance towards the position of the demon army.
When they entered the range of the enemy's catapult, they were immediately ruthlessly attacked by the enemy's catapult position.
Under the dense attack of stone bullets, many players of the Tenglong Legion were directly killed, and most of the catapults they were pushing were destroyed.
However, even so, the players of the Tenglong Legion who were pushing the catapult did not scare.
After being intensively bombed by the enemy's catapult position, they immediately stopped moving forward, then calmly filled the catapult with pills, and launched a counterattack against the devil's army's positions.
However, without calibration, the stone bombs fired by the players could not threaten the catapult position of the demon army. It would be great that the stone bombs fired by them could kill some unlucky demon warriors.
After several rounds of shooting, most of the catapults launched by the players of the Tenglong Legion were destroyed, and thousands of players who pushed the catapults and the stone-pushing bomb cart were killed.
On the other hand, except for some unlucky men who were killed by stone bullets, all the catapults on the position were intact.
The first wave of tentative long-range attacks between the enemy and us, and the demon army won a complete victory.
"How is it? Donnie, do I need to send another batch of bait?"
On his own trench position, Ning Yuan looked at the dwarf craftsman responsible for calibrating the trajectory of the trench and asked.
"Back to your Majesty, my calibration engineers and I have found the position of the enemy's catapult position.
Now only if His Majesty sends a team of men to attract the first wave of fire from the enemy, we can immediately destroy most of the enemy's catapults."
When he heard Ning Yuan’s questioning, Donnie replied confidently.
"Okay, then I'll send someone to help you attract the enemy's first wave of firepower."
Ning Yuan agreed to Donnie's request.
"Wang Gang, you led the three thousand Tenglong Legion soldiers to push a hundred catapults to continue shooting against the enemy." Ning Yuan ordered the player general of the Tenglong Legion behind him.
"Abide by the order!"
After receiving Ning Yuan's order, Wang Gang immediately turned around and left.
Soon, Wang Gang led the players of the Three Thousand Tenglong Legion to push a hundred catapults.
After Wang Gang and others entered the range, the catapult position of the demon army immediately opened up with full firepower.
In an instant, dozens of trenchers were smashed by stone bullets, and hundreds of players died in danger.
After the first wave of stone bombs was fired from the devil's army's catapult position, another catapult unit led by Donny quietly appeared fifty meters behind Wang Gang.
"attack."
After quickly filling the pills and completing calibration, Donnie immediately ordered the trencher of the Condor Army to start attacking.
As countless stone bombs were shot to a high altitude by the catapult and then fell on the position of the demon army, hundreds of catapults of the demon army were immediately destroyed.
"Come quickly and transfer the trenchers that are still intact are sent to the rear."
Seeing that his trenched stance was hit by a devastating blow, the demon officer in charge immediately shouted loudly.
Just now, he always thought that the generals who were in charge of commanding the thief troopers were stupid, so he gave them hundreds of thiefs for them to smash.
When he saw his trench position being hit by a devastating blow, he finally reacted.
It’s not that the enemy’s commander is stupid, but that the enemy is rich and some are catapults.
The two hundred catapults that came to Taiwan just now were deliberately smashed by the Condor Heroes Army, in order to find the position where they placed the catapults.
When the demons lost their continent, they had never seen siege weapons like catapults.
The trenchers in their hands were given to them by those aliens who defected to them.
Although after seeing the power of the trencher, they also recruited a group of craftsmen who mastered this skill, and now there are a group of craftsmen who can make trenchers in the military camp.
But it takes at least several days to build a trench machine. Judging from the current damage speed, it is probably too late to manufacture on site.
So now he can only do his best to save some trenchers, otherwise once there is no trencher, they will have to be beaten passively.
The demon officer who commanded the stone casting machine could understand this truth. How could Ning Yuan, who personally designed this plan, not know this truth?
After designing this plan of "wealthy and powerful, bullying others with power", Ning Yuan had already prepared a backup plan, and he would not be able to give the enemy any chance to breathe.
After successfully tricking out the first wave of bomb drops from the enemy to throw rocks, Ning Yuan looked into the sky at the first time.
When he saw the seraphic scout in the sky waving the red flag desperately, he immediately ordered another trencher unit to suppress it.
After deciding to launch a strong attack from the front, Ning Yuan immediately sent Seraphic warriors to investigate the frontier positions of the demon army.
When he learned that there were less than three hundred catapults on the position of the demon army, he immediately decided to fight a catapult battle with the enemy.
The Condor Heroes assembled thousands of trench machines on the south bank of the Wei River, so Ning Yuan boldly used 200 trench machines as bait.
In the end, he successfully tricked the demon army into the position of the catapult position, and then took advantage of the number of catapults on his own, and gave a devastating blow to the enemy catapult position.
After learning that his team's catapult successfully destroyed a large number of catapults from the enemy, Ning Yuan decided to strike while the iron was hot and strive to break through the enemy's position directly today.
While the demon warriors were busy transferring the trench to the rear, Donnie directed the trench position to fire a second wave of stone bombs.
Because the catapults of the demon army are relatively bulky, after receiving the order, many demon warriors had just arrived at the catapult position and had not had time to transfer it.
Therefore, the second wave of stone bombs fired by the Condor Heroes destroyed dozens of scattered stone planes of the demon army again.
After being attacked two waves, only dozens of catapults were left on the devil's position and were still intact, while more than 700 were left in the Condor Heroes. The Devil's Army no longer had the ability to continue to suppress the Condor Heroes in terms of long-range attacks.
As members of the Condor Army's Engineer Corps kept pushing the catapults to the battlefield, hundreds of catapults were fully fired and bombarded the positions of the demon army.
Under the suppression of such unreasonable long-range firepower of the Condor Army, the demon guards who defended the frontier positions were immediately suppressed so that they could not even lift their heads.
Even the dozens of trenchers that had been preserved were unfortunate again. Before they could be pushed out, they were destroyed by huge rocks falling from the sky.
Facing the unreasonable attack method of the Condor Army, Daniels, standing on the command tower, looked solemn.
"Come on, organize an suicide squad immediately, rush over to destroy the enemy's catapults."
Although he was reluctant to take the initiative, Daniels knew that if the Condor Army's catapult could not be destroyed, then as long as the Condor Army had enough stones, they could always bombard their positions.
Although the stone bombs thrown by the scatterer cannot kill many people, if the enemy continues to bomb like this, the morale of the demon army will definitely be greatly affected.
To be continued...
