Chapter 536 Wuhun Empire Defense in Depth
Standing on the top and looking up, the north side is a piece of black-yellow, or a little white muddy land. All the trees have been cut down, and resin oozes from the edges of a large number of tree stumps, just like tears of the forest.
On the hillside to the north, a large number of trenches criss-crossed and connected to each other, like a torn wound on the ground.
Tear the wound,!
At the feet of Yu Linglong and the others, the hillside extending to the north was dug into terraces, layer by layer, like a layered cake at a wedding banquet!
A little farther to the north of the terraced hillside, a large number of Wuhun Empire soldiers who had previously retreated quickly moved north along the "Xun"-shaped traffic trenches, entered another trench on a gentle hillside to the north, and joined forces with the soldiers there.
Yu Linglong looked at it and continued to order loudly.
"Kill! The whole army charges!"
Upon hearing this, many Star Luo Empire soldiers rushed down from the hillside, either on horseback or on foot, and quickly charged towards the second fortification of the Spirit Empire.
Among them, many heavy armored cavalry charged forward, and there was no barbed wire on the ground. It seemed that there was nothing that could stop this group of cavalry from running fast.
However, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.
On the north side of the hillside, there is indeed no barbed wire on the ground, but the ground has become a layer of terraced fields!
Every time the terrace goes down, the height difference of the ups and downs is more than one meter. As long as you run down, whether it is a horse or a human body, you must adjust your posture and stabilize your body the moment you land, so as not to fall.
One layer of terraces doesn't take much time, so what about two?What about the third floor?What about the tenth floor? !
On the hillside, the speed of the many cavalrymen of the Star Luo Empire suddenly slowed down. Under the state of the terraced mountain, the war horses could not run fast. Instead, they were panting and foaming at the mouth!
Even if the war horses are like this, those Star Luo Empire infantry armed with heavy shields are even more unbearable. They hold heavy shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands. Every time they jump off, they will waste their energy. His face was covered with sweat.
A little farther away, many crossbowmen from the Wuhun Empire took advantage of this opportunity to raise their god arm crossbows or yew longbows one by one, and shot deadly arrows at many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire.
"Boom boom boom...!"
Numerous god arm crossbows and yew longbows made the sounds that made the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire tremble. Immediately afterwards, countless arrows roared into the sky, carrying strong winds that pierced people's eardrums, either directly or from the top of their heads. Join the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire.
"Puff, puff...!"
Countless brilliant blood flowers bloomed under the bright summer sun, and even the gunpowder smoke caused by the previous shell explosion could not completely cover them.
That gorgeous red brilliance is like the cruel smile of a bloodthirsty demon.
At the same time, another round of black shells fell from the sky and smashed into the hillside.
"Boom, boom...!"
The mountains are shaking!
The entire hillside was shaking violently. Countless Star Luo Empire soldiers were blown to death and shattered into pieces. The blood rained all over the sky, and some comrades a little further away had their heads covered all over their faces.
Many people were covered in red blood. The sticky, pungent, iron-smelling blood was disgusting.
Some Star Luo Empire soldiers couldn't bear it any longer, squatting on the ground, retching continuously.
Dai Mubai narrowly escaped the shelling once again, he looked at the Spirit Empire army which was more than 300 meters away from him and the others, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Everyone work hard, we are about to break through the enemy line and win the victory! Already!"
Many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were encouraged once again, however, it was difficult for many people to stand up again.
From the very beginning, many soldiers charged hundreds of meters away, many of them wearing heavy armor, holding heavy shields and swords.
In the current Douluo Continent, it is not easy to make heavy armor all over the body. A full-body iron plate armor weighs as much as [-] kilograms!
With such a load, plus the iron shields and swords equipped, ordinary people can't run very far, not to mention that the Wuhun Empire has dug the hillside full of criss-cross trenches!
After a series of hundreds of meters of charging, going uphill, crossing trenches, and jumping down terraced fields, this group of soldiers was exhausted. Now, they really can barely hold their heavy shields and swords because of their unwillingness to die.
Otherwise, with such physical exertion, they would have put down their weapons and rested in place.
Not everyone is a pervert like Tang San, and not everyone can stand the master's inexplicable, far-overloaded physical training.
Too much burden often does not make motivation stronger, it only overwhelms people.
On the hillside, Dai Mubai saw that the many soldiers he had brought were exhausted, he hurriedly turned his head and looked at a messenger.
"Let the rear army come up quickly, and let the front army use the Wuhun Empire's ditch on the spot, and make short repairs on the spot!"
The troops brought by Dai Mubai were still very large, although the casualties were huge, there were still some reserve troops behind, these reserve troops had not suffered any damage, and their physical strength was still in good condition, at this time it was just right to use them for pursuit.
Beside Dai Mubai, the Star Luo Empire semaphore messenger replied respectfully "Yes!", then immediately turned around and sent orders to the south.
To the south, a large number of Star Luo Empire's follow-up infantry and some heavy cavalry had already pressed up. They used the trenches dug by the Wuhun Empire to avoid the Wuhun Empire's shelling on the spot. Although some shells fell into the trenches, they did not cause any damage. decisive kill.
In the trench on the hillside, a semaphore messenger saw the order of the semaphore messenger beside Dai Mubai at the top of the hillside, and immediately turned around, telling a general beside him Dai Mubai's order.
Hearing that, the general took a deep breath, stood up from the trench, drew out his command saber from his waist, and swung it forward.
"The rear army obeys the order, move forward, and support the front army!"
"kill!"
Numerous soldiers of the Star Luo Empire stood up from the trenches, moved forward quickly, ran over the top of the mountain, and rushed down the northern slope, braving the artillery and arrow rain of the Spirit Empire, rushing to the second defense of the Spirit Empire without fear of death. position.
"Woooo...!"
Countless arrows and shells fell, and countless soldiers of the Star Luo Empire fell in pieces like harvested wheat. Sand and stones were flying, mud was flying, and blood and pieces of meat were flying around, like a picture of chaotic purgatory.
Finally, after paying a huge sacrifice, the Star Luo Empire occupied the second defensive position of the Spirit Empire, and Dai Mubai, Tang San, Yu Linglong and the others once again stood on the top of the not very steep hill.
Standing on the top of the mountain, in front of everyone's eyes, there is another not-so-steep hillside in the distance. The hillside is covered with criss-cross trenches, and the trenches are connected with each other, just like the meridians, blood vessels, and veins of the human body.
Under the feet of Dai Mubai, Tang San and the others, the north facing downward hillside is exactly the same as the front one, and it was dug into terraced fields by the Spirit Empire, going down layer by layer until reaching the foot of the mountain.
In the terraced fields, there are many traffic ditches in the shape of "Xun". Many Wuhun Empire archers are leaning forward, moving through these "Xun"-shaped traffic ditches to the third hillside to the north in an orderly and fast manner.
They were very fast, and they entered the trenches on the third hillside in a short time. Some crossbowmen went directly to the top of the hill and continued to retreat northward, as if they were going to repair.
On the side of the Star Luo Empire, Yu Linglong with willow brows and phoenix eyes stood beside Dai Mubai.
When she saw another fortification in the Wuhun Empire that was almost exactly the same as the previous one, she felt inexplicably uneasy.
The mountains and forests here are all connected in stretches, one mountain is connected to another mountain, the first three mountains of Wuhun Empire are all set up defensive positions like this, could it be...!
She was very nervous, and immediately cast her martial spirit, stretched her arms back and spread a pair of dragon wings, and flew up into the sky, looking north.
In the sky, Yu Linglong gazed into the distance, within sight, on the hillsides for tens of kilometers, all the trees had been cut down, and the ground was bare. As far as the eye could see, not to mention the trees, there was not even a taller shrub!
On these hillsides, criss-crossing trenches are all connected together. There are no human figures moving in the trenches. It can be seen that there are many Wuhun Empire soldiers lurking in the trenches, waiting to deal a fatal blow to the Star Luo Empire. .
And in a place farther away, Yu Linglong also saw many long steel pipes rising high, constantly spewing out clouds of thick gunpowder smoke from the top.
Wuhun Empire Artillery!
Seeing this, Yu Linglong took a deep breath.
It turns out that this stretch of ten or twenty li is... the Wuhun Empire's position!
At this moment, suddenly, a scout quickly ran to below Yu Linglong, beside Dai Mubai and the others, knelt down and clasped fists.
"Report! Enemy infantry is found, and they are moving quickly from the road to the rear of our army in a truck."
On the ground, Dai Mubai was shocked instantly.
"what?!"
Before he had time to think, Yu Linglong had already descended from the sky with an anxious expression on her face.
Yu Linglong looked at Dai Mubai, and hurriedly said: "Brother Dai, quickly order the entire army to retreat, the Spirit Empire's frontal defense position is very deep, if we continue to go deeper, we will be surrounded by their heavy army, we must not love to fight!"
Behind Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun scratched his head in doubt.
"Seventh Sister, didn't you say that the only way we're left is to continue to break through? It's not suitable for us to retreat now?"
Yu Linglong was very impatient, she didn't want to repeat the explanation to Ma Hongjun at all, she just kept urging Dai Mubai.
"Brother Dai, give the order quickly, we will be surrounded by the Spirit Empire anytime soon, we retreat now and organize the next wave of attack, we still have a chance!"
Dai Mubai's face was quite ugly, he didn't expect that after hearing Yu Linglong's words, he would eventually return to the same way as Tang San said.
And as long as he returns to the original path, it means that he won't get any benefit from this battle, he neither broke through successfully nor caused much damage to the Spirit Empire.
It can be said that there are disadvantages but no advantages!
Forget it, what Linglong said was very reasonable, but this time the prediction failed.
Dai Mubai comforted himself in his heart, then waved his hand, mobilized his soul power and shouted: "The whole army retreats, back to the forest!"
