Behind me is the earth

Chapter 481 479. Shelling the capital of Daru, screaming

The Independent Regiment did not choose to go directly to Haohai County by boat, because there was a troop belonging to the Idol King stationed there. If they disembarked directly from the sea there, they would be more likely to be discovered by the Daru people, which would cause unnecessary Trouble.

Hufang Port is about 300 kilometers away from Ningyang City, separated by Baichang County and Haohai County.

Because they wanted to make a surprise attack on Ningyang City, the Independent Regiment did not take the main road, but chose some less traveled roads.

As a result, the journey not only becomes longer, but also mostly mountain roads, making it even more rugged and difficult to travel. It was originally a half-day journey, but it took us until around four o'clock in the afternoon before we finally arrived at the Changshan Mountains. At this time, the sky was already dark, there were few stars in the sky, the moon was not very bright, and the whole world was dim.

The independent group entered the mountains and shuttled through the mountains and forests.

Finally, we found a good bombardment position on the top of a mountain.

The snow in the mountains and forests was swept away. Under the control of the soil element stranger, the soil on the ground began to roll on its own as if it had life, and soon formed a flat area of ​​more than 500 square meters. A neat rectangular platform.

Fifteen field guns were taken out of the space, and mechanics began to quickly assemble the guns.

At the same time, there are twenty mortars, 120 mm caliber heavy mortars.

When the independent regiment was first formed, it was designed according to the special forces. The training the soldiers received was also very comprehensive. Except for the fact that the number of aircraft was too small, there was no training. Other skills such as controlling artillery, tanks, and driving were all trained. unified training.

In about 20 minutes, more than 60 ordnance technicians completed the field artillery assembly work.

Boxes of artillery shells were distributed to each group of artillery positions, and the soldiers of the independent regiment took their positions in squad units.

Chen Dachui watched the soldiers measuring the distance and adjusting the muzzle.

"Be sure to aim well, we don't have time to test! Remember, you only have three minutes. You must hit Ningyang City with the first shot, and within three minutes, give me all the shells in your hands. Fight out!"

Chen Dachui emphasized in an extremely serious voice.

"receive!"

Each squad leader answered through the headset.

As time passed by, each artillery team gradually stopped their movements.

"Artillery Group 1 is ready! Make sure everything is correct!"

"Artillery Group 3 is ready! Make sure everything is correct!"

"Artillery Group 15 is ready! Make sure everything is correct!"

"The 4th mortar group is ready! Make sure everything is correct!"

"Artillery Group 4..."

The sounds of reports reached Chen Dachui's ears.

Chen Dachui picked up the low-light telescope and looked at Ningyang City in the distance.

He has observed this city more than once.

After arriving here, what's even better is that outside the city, about ten kilometers away from Changshan, there is a camp guarding Ningyang City. Judging from the fire in the camp, the soldiers in this camp are about About thirty thousand people.

Among the various squads of the independent regiment, small-caliber mortars can also reach here. At this time, they were also taken out and placed around the artillery position. There were more than fifty of them. Venting the artillery shells could also cause considerable damage.

It was a quiet night, and no one among the Daru people in Ningyang City knew that artillery was already targeting them on the hilltop nearly 20 kilometers away.

In the solemn atmosphere, Chen Dachui did not speak too much, and his voice was always concise and powerful: "3, 2, 1, start!"

As the No. 1 artillery gun in the middle fired the first shot first, all the artillery groups nearby completed the action of pulling the rope in no particular order.

The gun loader began a mechanized rapid loading action. Each artillery group is assigned two gunners. They cooperate with each other very quickly and can complete the shooting action 15 times in one minute.

"call out!!"

"Boooooooh!!"

The warhead spinning rapidly in the air made a screaming sound, immediately waking up the people in Ningyang City.

At first, they were not aware of the danger. After hearing the sound, some sensitive people walked out of the house strangely and looked in the direction of the sound. However, there was nothing visible in the dark sky, but the screaming sound was indeed getting closer.

"Boom!"

One shot into the soul.

The explosive bombs fired by the No. 1 artillery were the first to fall into Ningyang City.

In an instant, the "booming" explosion almost resounded throughout the city, and people who had gone to bed early were also awakened by the sound of the explosion and the strong vibrations on the ground. The flames soared into the sky in an instant, and countless flowers and fire burst into space, making them as moving and beautiful as sparkling trees and silver flowers!

After the saturated liquid mist reached saturation and spread, people in the city watched. After the second ignition of the cannonball, the flames suddenly expanded like fire, rising into the sky. Thick smoke billowed, and screams were heard from all over the city.

The first shell exploded in the south of the city.

The living density here is very low. Each house covers an area of ​​several hundred square meters, and some can reach several acres or even more than ten acres. The casualties caused by the explosion of artillery shells are far less than those in the north of the city.

But the impact of the explosion here extends far beyond the north of the city!

Because the people living here are all high-ranking officials from the Daru Empire, every one of them must be a sixth-grade court official or above.

Amid the screams of the Daru people, the second wave of fourteen shells followed the screams, exploding in no particular order at the palaces in the south, west, east, north, and center of the city.

"Rumble, rumble..."

The sound of the explosion was almost continuous, and the whole city was shaking violently.

The Daru people who were still in the room were frightened by the sudden brightening of the outside world. Their hearts were beating wildly in their chests, as if they were about to pop out of their throats, and the blood all over their bodies was about to flow backwards. .

Not everyone among the Daru people is a warrior, and many of them have never been on the battlefield. When they faced such a scene, their inner fear was the same as that of the Han people who were slaughtered by their Daru people!

Just in this explosion of special bombs, a whole city was awakened. A large number of mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles were caught in the flames, and even the houses and people were burned to the ground!

Thanks to their plan to expel and massacre the Han people for the absolute safety of Daru Capital, there is no trace of Han people in the city today, which makes the independent regiment's bombing without any psychological burden!

However, the two cannonballs that fell into the palace seemed to have touched an invisible barrier in mid-air, and were dismembered in the air without causing an explosion at all.

Immediately afterwards, the twenty 120mm shells fired by the mortars, compared to the first batch of howitzers, finally came and exploded in the air. At this moment, the Daru people in Ningyang City seemed to It looked like falling snow.

After they exploded, they fell one after another in the sky, slowly, slowly, swaying, and fell to the ground.

But when these flames fell to the ground like feathers of light, touched the people running in panic on the street, touched those wooden buildings, and even settled into the lake in the city, a violent burning reaction began!

"Will-o'-the-wisp!"

When people looked at these inextinguishable flames, they couldn't help but scream in their hearts.

It was too late, but it was so fast. In just ten seconds, some people were swallowed up by the flames before they could react.

Most of the others were frightened, but had not yet reacted.

At this time, just a few seconds later, the second wave of shells had already flown over.

"call out!"

In the palace, the general on duty took out an arrow made of pure iron from the arrow pot behind him. He held a bow made of unknown steel, aimed with his eyes, and shot the bow in one go. After releasing the arrow, the arrow The arrow disappeared into the night sky in an instant.

The next moment, there was an explosion in the air, and a large group of fireworks bloomed in the air more than 400 meters high.

If you can record it with a high-definition camera and play it back at slow speed, you can see that the cannonball in the air seems to have hit the arrow on its own.

At the same time, on the pillars outside Taiyun Palace, the admiral eunuch looked high into the sky. In his pupils, everything above the sky was reflected. The high-speed artillery shells that were almost invisible to the naked eye were captured in his eyes. With a firm grasp and lock, a stone fell into his hand under the tug of his fingers, and he flicked it toward the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a cannonball that landed on the palace exploded in the air.

However, there are not many masters in Ningyang City at this time, and even fewer masters have reacted. Therefore, most of the cannonballs still fell into the city. The explosion flames shot up into the sky, and the entire city was immersed in a sea of ​​fire. The raging fire burned the buildings, spread with the wind, and burned into the neighboring houses. As time passed, a big fire gradually formed.

At the same time, in the military camp outside the city, the barbarian soldiers who were cooking pots and waiting for their meals were suddenly stunned by the cannonballs that hit them in the face!

The cluster artillery shells exploded in the air and split into dozens of small bombs in an instant, falling towards the ground. Due to caliber issues, these special artillery shells were specially supplied by the military factory for the independent regiment. Each cluster bomb can cover a radius of 100 meters. to hundreds of meters.

More than fifty rounds of artillery shells almost covered the camp covering an area of ​​more than 400 acres.

When the first wave of artillery shells fell, it covered almost half of the camp. Many submunition bombs shot directly through the barbarian soldiers' dormitories. The subsequent shock waves were accompanied by fragments, instantly causing tons of damage to the soldiers and buildings in the dormitories.

Because the barbarian soldiers were very concentrated in the military camp, just under this first wave of offensive, almost half of the barbarian soldiers were taken away!

On the top of the mountain, Chen Dachui could clearly see the scene of Ningyang City without the help of a low-light telescope.

Fires were already burning in every corner of the city.

The damage caused tonight has met expectations, and is even better than imagined!

Presumably, before tomorrow, the news here will spread in all directions, to the Barbarian Emperor, to the troops on the front line, and to thousands of households through wireless broadcasts. This will be a battle that will go down in history, and his name, Chen Dachui, will also go down in history with this battle!

Thinking of this, Chen Dachui could no longer hold back his lips.

Chen Dachui looked at the field artillery that was still firing rapidly. In comparison, the mortar's rate of fire was slower.

He looked down at the countdown on the stopwatch on his wrist.

There is still one minute and three seconds, but at this time, three figures in the military camp have risen into the sky, flying towards the hilltop position.

At the same time, in Ningyang City, dozens of figures had already flown into the sky, intercepting cannonballs defensively in the air while chasing after them.

Chen Dachui even saw someone throwing out a bag. The bag swelled up in the wind and soon became extremely large. It sucked in a large number of cannonballs in the air, but no cannonballs exploded in it.

With the appearance of these people, the results achieved by artillery shells plummeted. Fortunately, there are enough cannonballs fired at one time, and in each wave there are always a few that slip through the net and fall into the city. The special cannonballs can still do considerable damage in the air.

However, as more and more masters react and invest in interception, the marginal effect of the artillery shells is diminishing.

"Lu Xingwen, you set the time and direct the evacuation. I will lead people to stop them!"

Chen Dachui took off the stopwatch from his wrist and threw it to Lu Xingwen. When he turned his hand, an iron rod appeared.

He bent his knees and jumped suddenly. With the help of the infuriating energy of the Dongming Realm and the power of his fourth awakening, the stone on the ground instantly collapsed into a huge pit. Chen Dachui violently rubbed against the air and let out a There was a sound that was close to a sonic boom, but in an instant, the alien who flew in front of the military camp felt his eyes were blurred, and an iron rod had been knocked down on the head!

"Bang!" The sound was not very high. With the sonic boom cloud appearing at the tip of the iron rod, the alien was knocked into pieces of body tissue from head to toe. Chen Dachui passed through the blood mist, swung his stick, and hit the stranger directly behind him.

In the frightened eyes of the wind-type stranger, Chen, who seemed to be surrounded by blood mist, hit him with a hammer, and simply followed in the former's footsteps.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Behind him, Lu Xingwen looked at the reading on the electronic watch.

"10, 9, 8,······3, 2, 1."

"Stop shooting, clean up the battlefield immediately, and prepare to evacuate!"

Lu Xingwen didn't hesitate at all. When the time came, he immediately gave the order.

After saying that, he took the lead to walk to the artillery position and smashed the artillery apart with one punch. Using both his fists and feet, he dismantled the steel cannon into pieces in a few breaths.

Others followed suit, and the artillery was quickly dismantled into a pile of waste parts, and then stuffed into space equipment.

At this time, Lu Xingwen saw that Chen Dachui, who had lost his potential energy, was falling to the ground under the force of gravity.

Other Daru strangers continued to fly towards this side.

And further away, there are a large number of high-level warriors. In the dark night, some of them are like mist, leaving no trace on the snow. Some of them were like cannons being ejected from their chambers, and every time they rose and fell, they blew up snow all over the sky. But they also rushed towards Changshan at an extremely fast speed!
