Chapter 783: Carpet Bombing
And when Emperor Shi Tian was bombarding a city indiscriminately, the hidden legendary demons were also watching the whole process, and they were all worried.
"Damn, how many cannons does this bastard Shi Tiandi have, how many cannonballs?
"A 500 mm heavy cannon can even reach the gold level, which is equivalent to four to a golden spell burst. The 250mm heavy cannon, although it is only at the silver level, has as many as 8,000 guns, which is too terrifying, isn't it?"
"This kind of firepower may not be able to open a gap in the city wall, but it can definitely blow up a large area of land behind the city wall into ruins. When the time comes, the defensive void here will become a fatal hole!"
"That's right, without the defensive structure, the defense troops, what is the use of a bare city wall?"
"Yes, when the time comes, Emperor Shitian's army can even fill the city wall with earth and stone, and then the army will be able to drive straight in. ”
"Damn, can we just watch?"
"Alas!" the legendary demon who lacked ears sighed and said: "The two armies are facing each other offensively in attack and defense, and under normal circumstances, they are the first to compete for long-range firepower. But I never thought that Emperor Shitian, as the attacking party, would completely suppress us in long-range firepower. ”
"If in a war, long-range firepower is suppressed, then there are many ways to deal with it, and the best way to do it is to send elite sneak attacks to destroy the opponent's long-range troops. The legendary demon with the flames burning in his eyebrows said with a wry smile: "But the problem is that the strongest rapid raid force in the demon castle is us, but our current position is too embarrassing, although it is not far from those long-range artillery, but there is a well-defended castle in the middle." ”
"Although this castle was just built, there are thousands of magic towers in it, and there are millions of flying troops, whether it is flying through the air or killing directly, it is almost like sending them to death. ”
"Shall we go around then?" one of the guys suddenly suggested.
"What kind of idea did you come up with? Do you really think that the tens of millions of people under the command of Emperor Shi Tian are all blind? As long as we dare to expose it, the other party will definitely notice it, how can we watch us sneak attack them from the side?"
"Not necessarily, we can stealth and sneak attack, don't forget, the Great Demon Clan is a famous magic double cultivator, although it is not particularly powerful in magic, but it has basically mastered advanced stealth techniques!"
"With another commander, stealth seems like a good idea. But our opponent this time is Emperor Shi Tian! Look at this guy, has he ever shown a little flaw so far? Especially the bastard sitting in the center, who is now using the Ice Spirit Cold Light Mirror to search the surroundings 24 hours a day. As soon as we get out of this subspace, it is estimated that we will be discovered immediately, and we may have to eat a few of his long-range legendary spells at that time. ”
"However, if we don't move, there is no way to fight those artillery in the castle, the magic tower has not enough range, and there are no surprise troops, so we can't watch our castle be destroyed little by little, right?"
"I don't think there's a need to worry, the Demon Castle is not a small place, a large castle with a radius of hundreds of kilometers can actually be destroyed by cannonballs alone?"
"That's right, Emperor Shi Tian is now causing damage to our small area, at most, he just occupies a city wall as an offensive fulcrum. Anyway, it is impossible to capture the castle in a short time. ”
"There are three or four million troops in the castle, right?"
"It should be, when the battle starts, our teleportation circle will operate in power, and we will keep sending cannon fodder from the abyss. Every day, at least a few hundred thousand new troops can be added to the castle. ”
"If that's the case, if they can't hold it, then it's none of our business!"
"Alright, stay put, for now!" said the Earless Demon.
In the next few hours, Emperor Shi Tian aimed at a city wall of about ten kilometers, and basically smashed a large area behind him into ruins.
Although the city wall has also suffered a lot of shelling and has been hit with potholes, the whole is still intact and has not suffered much damage.
So it is basically impossible to break the city wall, but the shelling of these few hours is not a joke, and the back of the city wall has basically become a no-man's land.
It doesn't matter what kind of demon army you are, or a warehouse, or a magic trap, or a catapult position, or a demon tower, or any other defensive structure, it's all smashed.
Seeing that there was nothing more to bombard, Emperor Shakti immediately ordered a ceasefire and began transporting new shells from the castle to replenish the consumption.
And the artillery also began to maintain the cannons, cool them down, and carry out detailed inspections to avoid accidents such as explosions. In short, it is always ready to start shelling again.
At the same time, Emperor Shakti ordered the forward troops to advance a few kilometers tentatively, and there seemed to be a tendency to attack the gap.
And the dog-headed aluminum bat in the rear also received an order to prepare for an attack.
Emperor Shi Tian's action is actually a tactical tentative move, wanting to see the reality of the demon army, and at the same time preparing for both.
If the Demon Legion is strong enough, it may suddenly come out at this time and catch the Heavenly Emperor off guard.
Because after a long period of shelling, the shells were seriously consumed, and the artillery itself also needed to be adjusted, and there was no way to provide too strong fire support for the time being, which could be regarded as a small firepower gap.
If the higher-ups of the Demon Legion were shrewd enough, they should seize this opportunity to launch a counterattack.
However, if the other party really does this, they will find themselves in the pit.
The 2 million dog-headed aluminum bats prepared by Emperor Shi Tian will carry out carpet bombing against the incoming enemy, and 8 million 500-kilogram aerial bombs are guaranteed to make the demon troops killed turn the sky upside down.
But unfortunately, the Demon Legion didn't know how to do it, so they gave up this opportunity.
Then Emperor Shi Tian no longer concealed and began to let the troops move forward, and at the same time, pay attention to the movements of the other party.
As a result, Emperor Shi Tian was disappointed to find that the demon army did not choose to rush to the city wall and fight hard against Emperor Shi Tian's invading enemy.
If they dare to do this, Emperor Shi Tian will still use carpet bombing to teach them how to behave.
It wasn't until Emperor Shakti's army got close enough that the demon legion didn't move, and millions of troops rushed over from all directions and hid on the periphery of the shelled area.
It was clear that the upper echelons of the Demon Legion had completely abandoned the city walls, and even the area that had been destroyed by artillery fire.
Emperor Shi Tian saw their intention at a glance, which was clearly to put Emperor Shi Tian's troops in, and then engage in hand-to-hand combat.
In this way, the demon army can no longer be afraid of shelling, unless Emperor Shi Tian wants to blow up his own troops as well.
I have to say that in the case of extreme loss of long-range firepower, this is also a very good choice.
The commander of the Demon Legion can use this move, and it can definitely be called extraordinary.
But it's a pity that this guy still has other tricks than Emperor Shitian.
In fact, when Emperor Shi discussed tactics with Princess Lionheart, he made three predictions and plans for the application of carpet bombing.
The first two plans, that is, to bomb the invading enemy forces, or to bomb the enemy forces defending the city walls, both of which failed because of the cunning of the other side.
But the third prediction was successful, and the reaction of the commander of the demon legion finally failed to escape the inference of Emperor Shi and Princess Lionheart.
As a result, the demon army is about to be unlucky.
I saw Emperor Shi Tian sneering disdainfully, and said to himself, "I thought these demons had a very smart brain, but it turned out to be nothing more than that." It's not like you've fallen for my calculations, hehe!'
Next, Emperor Shi Tian immediately issued an order to carry out the plan.
As soon as the order was given, the two elite units sprang into action.
First of all, there are 100,000 earth-based monks in the front-line army. They quickly gathered together, and then began to cast spells together, manipulating tiny clouds of sand and dust into the air, and then swept towards the opposite side.
A single Earth Monk may only be able to create a sand and dust area.
However, after 100,000 earth cultivators joined forces, they used the massive earth system stored in the earth spirit bead to directly create a huge sandstorm, covering a radius of dozens of miles.
This sandstorm was as high as a kilometer, and then under the control of the earth monks, it rushed into the demon castle.
In an instant, a large area of the Demon Castle was enveloped in a sandstorm.
And the area covered by the sandstorm happened to include the area that was blown into ruins, and it spread out more than ten kilometers away, enveloping the demon who had sent more than a million reinforcements.
And just when the earth monks gathered, the entire 2 million dog-headed aluminum bats also immediately cast spells, hid their figures, and then grabbed four 500-kilogram aerial bombs and took off.
Their carrying capacity is actually only 200 kilograms, but the dog-headed aluminum bat that cultivates the Yuan Magnetic Invisible Sword can manipulate the magnetic force, so that the 2,000-kilogram aerial bomb can only weigh 200 kilograms, which can just be grabbed and flown away.
These stealthy dog-headed aluminum bats flew directly to an altitude of two or three thousand meters, and under the cover of a sandstorm, they flew to the sky above the Demon Castle.
The sandstorm was only a thousand meters high, and it was like a huge curtain that obscured the view of the demons below and some probing spells.
Because at this time, Emperor Shi Tian had just carried out a large round of artillery bombardment, and everyone thought that Emperor Shi Tian's routine must be to charge the infantry after the artillery bombardment, and the sandstorm should be a cover for the infantry.
Therefore, all the attention of the demon army was focused on the ground, and they didn't think about the air at all.
So, when the overwhelming aerial bombs fell like a torrential rain, the demon army was completely stunned!
