Chapter 1013: The Battle Begins

The battle with the Scourge was fought first by the army's rocket artillery regiment.

The Soyanagi rocket artillery vehicle can fire nine rockets at a time, which is not a lot of them, but it is quite powerful.

The rocket shells more than three meters long burst out of the launch frame with a clatter, and then crossed a distance of more than ten kilometers and landed accurately in the group of psychic towers. The Tip Soul Breaker Cone can penetrate most conventional defense circles, and the 30-kilogram warhead contains a small amount of Thunderbolt energy in addition to high explosives.

Each rocket can explode a small blue thundercloud, and if the warhead burrows into the tower and explodes, the tower will be shattered directly. Even if it doesn't hit directly, it can tear open the spiritual shield of the Spirit Tower and open a few skylights for it.

Three rounds of covered fire from a rocket artillery regiment destroyed at least fifty psychic towers and wounded many more. As for the undead units destroyed, it is not possible to count them in detail.

At the same time, 12 warplanes broke through from a high altitude and dropped 12 high-energy armor-piercing shells, blowing up the buildings in the core area of the Scourge Legion.

With such a long-range strike, the Scourge Legion didn't even have the power to fight back, but due to logistics and transportation problems, it was impossible to carry out large-scale firepower coverage in the Keel Wilderness. Even without mentioning capacity, conventional ammunition can't beat this psionic structure. Special ammo with Soul Breaker is quite expensive. The Long Xiang army was reluctant to bombard the followers of Galakron with rocket artillery.

After rocket artillery and air strikes, it was the advance of the ground forces. The self-propelled psionic electromagnetic cannon was mounted on a high ground several kilometers away and began to fire with precision to destroy the remaining psychic towers.

After going around the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, Xiang Ningxuan went back to preside over the restructuring of the group, and he had not fought with the army for a while, and he did not know how the current combat mode of the main force of the Long Xiang Army had improved. So he sits on the other side of the command table, controls a drone, and projects the images on a computer monitor.

Sal and Chromie also control two other drones to observe the battlefield with the help of staff officers. This mode of observing the battlefield without having to be physically present is very novel to the two people who come into contact for the first time, and the drone is constantly adjusting up and down, left and right.

At this time, there were also changes on the battlefield.

Tyranus had fought many battles with humans and was familiar with their routines. He can tolerate the ultra-long-range fire coverage of humans, because he knows that such an attack seems to be huge, but in fact, in addition to the damage to buildings, the damage to the army can also be tolerated, and at the same time, the consumption of humans is also very large.

However, the precise burst of the Heavy Psionic Cannon is an attack mode with low cost and high damage. In particular, the Chinese army would never storm a strong position, they would set up a long-range artillery group to knock on the defensive position, and then slowly repair their own defense line to cover the artillery group to the front.

Since you have to rush sooner or later, it is better to rush first while the enemy's defense line has not been completely constructed. Even if you can't rush down, you can use the remnants of the fortifications to cover the withdrawal of the troops.

Only half an hour after the start of the battle, several ground-penetrating bombs exploded fiercely more than 500 meters in front of the human position. The earth erupted like a volcano, spewing out countless pieces of earth and rubble, mixed with many stumps and broken arms.

Just as Tyranus knew the earthlings, the Dragons knew even more about the current Scourge than Tyranus himself. The Southwest Expeditionary Force led by Rong Zheng has been fighting against the Cataclysm Legion for more than a year, and has seen all kinds of new arms and new tactics, and even analyzed the tactical characteristics of some senior commanders of the Cataclysm Corps. These materials were shared with Long Xiangjun.

The Scourge knew that it would be difficult to break through the defenses of the elite humans stationed in a frontal advance, and that a dense charge would be a death, while a straggler charge would be powerless at all. Not to mention that the main force of the Longxiang Army they faced first had a combat power far superior to that of the regular army of Tianzhu.

Therefore, the Scourge Legion has developed a tunnel warfare method, using crypt demons and specially developed digging undead to dig tunnels directly in front of the human position, so as to catch them off guard.

When he learned that the main human force was coming, Tyranus knew that there would be a battle sooner or later, so he had already ordered his subordinates to dig several tunnels in advance, preparing to attack a wave while the human race was still unstable.

However, he still underestimated the ability of the Long Xiang Army too much, and a stealth attack like this had long been within the scope of psionic monitoring. As for why it wasn't broken in advance, it was to wait for the Scourge Legion to attack. At a distance of five hundred meters, the casualties are not small if you attack strongly, but it is a pity to give up, and it is just stuck at the most embarrassing node of the Scourge Legion.

Eventually, the grumpy undead Viku was unable to contain his anger and ordered his troops to charge.

A large number of undead emerged from the ground and launched a desperate charge against the improvised human offensive. Hidden behind the formation, the Cataclysmic heavy artillery launched the first counterattack, and hundreds of shells quickly fell on the human position.

Then, the human heavy artillery immediately returned to the color, firing covering the source of the shell. The artillery fire on both sides came and went, and the fighting was very happy.

This kind of long-range artillery battle is absolutely impossible to see in Azeroth, and only the Scourge Legion, which has absorbed a lot of Earth technology, can do it. However, their artillery still could not be compared with the long-range artillery of the Long Xiang Army, and they were quickly suppressed by firepower, so they could only disperse and hide, and then fire cold artillery.

Of course, Tyranus didn't expect the artillery battle to win the human race. The artillery attack is only to contain the human artillery and cover the undead ambush in the tunnels.

Rumbling explosions continued to come from the undead. It wasn't humans bombing, it was a bomb that detonated a self-detonating ghoul. Taking advantage of the undead's fearless nature, the Scourge loaded them with explosives and plague venom and charged directly into the enemy crowd to launch a suicide attack.

These self-exploding ghouls are, of course, the target of priority kills with ranged fire.

The scourge is not all self-detonating ghouls, and there are many shield-wielding ghouls to take cover, while swift ghouls are quick to assault and storm into human defenses, making it impossible for people to exit with peace of mind. The whole offense is layered and very methodical.

In the sky, frost dragons, gargoyles, blood bats and other air forces swooped down from low altitudes. The gargoyle is in charge of air dominance, and it is the Frost Dragon and the Blood Bat that actually attack.

Ice breath erupts from the modified mouthparts, like cannonballs, with a fast rate, long range, and great power. Caused a lot of trouble to the human position.

And even more ferocious is the suicide attack of the blood bat. Not only can they hit units in the air, but also ground units, but ground units are cheap and sturdy, and they are not cost-effective to hit them normally.

At this moment, in order to cover the army's charge, the Scourge Legion also made a bloody investment, using blood bats to directly pounce on the Longxiang Army's long-range artillery group.

Countless anti-aircraft fire from the ground was sprinkled into the air from human positions. Surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft guns, electromagnetic machine guns, laser cannons, and various group attack spells turned into a meat grinder-like dead ground in the low-altitude airspace between the Scourge position and the Longxiang Army's position.

Weakly defended blood bats are constantly being blasted, stained blood, venom, and shredded flesh are constantly falling from the sky, and explosives are detonated from time to time.

The Scourge Air Force had to send the more defended gargoyles to the perimeter to block the Blood Bats.

Taking advantage of the gargoyle's departure, the human power that had been hovering high in the sky launched a dive attack to hunt down the frost dragon.

Zizizizi! The blue arc of electricity spread a large net in mid-air of the artillery position, intercepting the leaking blood bats.

Boom, just as the artillery and air forces were fighting fiercely, the main ground forces of the natural disaster left their positions.
