My players are so fierce

Chapter 1161 1159. The front line is raging and the logistics department uses traditional skills · swearing!

Pharaoh Pirig's stable mood did not last long.

Because his grasp of the changes in the situation proved to be a mess, the direction of things was completely beyond the control of the rebellious pharaoh in the afternoon of the second day, especially when the main force of Mr. Qin and the bombing formation from the Origin Port arrived almost at the same time, the players had almost no rest and began to assault the Pirig Great Oasis under the command of Lao Qin.

As mentioned before, the Origin Land is vast, and the area of ​​a large oasis is equivalent to the size of a province in other kingdoms. The Pirig family is the most powerful one in the pilgrim family system. There are seven cities with a population of more than 100,000 in its oasis, and small towns are scattered all over the place.

If it were not for the fact that it is distributed in a vast sand sea and is not connected to other areas, such a terrain cannot be called an oasis.

To complete the final blow to the Pirrig family in such a huge area in the remaining few days, the advancement speed alone is an extremely demanding challenge, but fortunately, Lao Qin has all the conditions for a rapid assault.

The number of armed airships coming from the Origin Port has reached 42, and the extra seven are modified airships that Perfect Shipping Company urgently rented from the Port of Shardo.

When they flew over the Strait of Castilla, they were already full of supplies to support the war. Obviously, Captain Paula, who made a fortune from the war, has suffered from "path dependence".

She is ready to bring her successful experience to the rebellion of the Songhai Empire, and by the way, she also won a long-term contract from Queen Fulier for her semi-mercenary armed shipping company.

The 42 airships were divided into two groups by Master Qin. 12 small airships loaded with explosives went to the small cities on both sides of the player's advancement route to carry out air strikes to block the interference of reinforcements. The remaining 30 airships followed the ground army in five formations and rushed forward, almost taking the shortest route to the main city where Pharaoh Pirrig was located.

Along the way, players have to break through three fortresses to reach the core area of ​​the Great Oasis.

The configuration of the ground army is even more luxurious.

The 40 brand-new dragoons shipped from the Origin Port and the 25 dragoons left after participating in the battle of the Holy Land of Origin joined together. They were fully loaded with various deadly firepower and galloped across the Oasis at the fastest speed. The black smoke they raised when they moved formed a magnificent smoke screen.

Players took airships and war-standard scarab vehicles, and some "mobile forces" rode motorcycles made by the Halfling Factory.

Well, the classic "Baga" motorcycle with a sidecar.

In a very classic design style, a squad light machine gun designed by the big guys of the Transian Arsenal was placed on the sidecar, and a supply box full of Panzerfaust missiles and machine gun bullets was placed at the back.

This thing takes into account both firepower and mobility, and is mainly driven by newbies with poor offensive capabilities.

The scarab vehicles were also modified. The most conspicuous thing was that there was a machine gun point on top of each carriage. The weapons installed on them were not individual weapons like light machine guns.

The super classic M2 heavy machine gun replica was fixed on the carriage. The front and rear ones were responsible for firing in two directions. The crew compartment also had a defensive cover, and ordinary players were selected to operate it. The lethality of the dedicated gold armor-piercing shells of this thing can open the heads of bear goblins at medium and long distances, and the close-range shooting can even make the ogres unable to eat.

But what made Qin Ye feel most happy was not these small changes, but the "artillery" placed at the end of the marching column.

That was a real towed field cannon instead of the mortar used by players. These gods of war designed by the big bosses of the arsenal and processed by the halfling factory with full production capacity shone with cold light on the shells, and the barrels piercing the sky were like swords out of their sheaths.

120 towed cannons using incendiary gold grenades were also towed by scarabs, which was the only thing that made Qin Ye feel regretful.

The Winter Wind Vehicle Factory has begun to produce real internal combustion engine military trucks, but unfortunately the production capacity of Shardor Port has been divided up by weapons production, resulting in not enough vehicles available for players to use.

But this small flaw cannot affect the advancement of this war.

After rushing along the edge of the Pirrig Oasis to its main city for two hours, relying on the charge of the player's winged cavalry to easily crush three small troops that tried to block the road, Qin Ye and his legion finally arrived in front of the first fortress.

This militarized fortress city holds the terrain and there is no way to bypass it.

"Start the assault in ten minutes!"

On the airship where the headquarters was located, Lao Qin put down the telescope and ordered the air force commanders "Doujiang Baidao" and "Serak Fenda" behind him:

"You command the armed airships of the first and second formations to carry out the first round of bombing. The first formation bombs the city walls to destroy those hot melt cannons, and the second formation's target is the military camp in the city. Your ammunition is enough for four rounds of bombing, and my request is, don't keep any!

Throw all the bombs in!"

"Master Qin, most of the airships are incendiary bombs!"

Serak Fenda whispered:

"Once a large area of ​​​​burning occurs, there are still civilians in this city."

"Shut up!"

Before Lao Qin spoke, Doujiang Baidao, a famous hawk among the players, spoke first.

This guy winked at Serak, who always couldn't bear to be ruthless, and scolded:

"If you can't do it, go and take care of the logistics airship formation. There are commanders who are willing to give orders! We sent messengers to ask them to surrender, but they refused, didn't they?"

Master Qin ignored Serak's question.

He looked at the time on the navigation clock on the airship and said:

"The action will begin in ten minutes! After three rounds of bombing, Major Serak Fenda will command the empty airship to return to the rear to replenish ammunition. Any other questions?"

"No! I guarantee to complete the mission!"

Doujiang Baidao saluted and left the command cabin with a gloomy expression.

Ten minutes later, as the first incendiary bomb whizzed down on the fortress wall, the scorching fire bloomed like a cruel flower on the Pirige Oasis.

While the airstrike was going on, the artillery of the ground forces also started the first round of calibration shooting. 120 field guns were deployed in front of the front line. Every five guns were commanded by a "domestic" series of staff officers, and operated by players with two professions, "Iron Barrel Boy" and "Bang Bang Boss".

Most of them were new to this kind of thing, but these field guns were "localized" and had calculation gems to assist in shooting to calculate the landing point. All the players needed to do was to adjust according to the error and complete the manpower loading.

Therefore, soon, in the second round of volleys, most of the players who operated the guns were able to complete the operation in a proper manner.

"Fire!"

The command flag in the hands of the Qing Dynasty veteran waved down fiercely. After the deafening thunder, the burning golden pointed shells fired like iron rain hit the burning city wall in front. These shells also had Transian "traditional skills" and added buzzers, so that they would fall with a sharp hissing sound like the sound of hell.

The airship formation has already begun to carry out blanket bombing on the military camps in the city and all areas where large-scale military forces are mobilized.

From the perspective of the high altitude, Lao Qin can clearly see that most of the soldiers active on the ground are the dead souls of the underworld.

"You guessed right, Master Qin."

The adjutant Wu Dui Lun beside him sighed and said:

"The Pirig family has indeed secretly mobilized the Hades Army. They know that with the quality of their living army, it is impossible to win this battle."

"It doesn't matter. No matter who the enemy in front is, they must be broken through."

Old Qin said expressionlessly:

"Order the artillery to bomb again! Then airdrop ten power armor knights into the city wall to clean up the defenders, order the mechanical vanguard to prepare for the siege, demolish the city gate and break into the city for advancement and cleaning, and demolish all the buildings blocking the marching route.

During the whole process, anyone who attacks us will be regarded as an enemy.

The players in the rear are ready to pass through the fortress quickly. Don't stop. Start a forced march in the next six hours! You must arrive near the second fortress before lunch.

Start the second siege in the evening!

Send an order to Her Majesty Fulier's loyal soldiers. After we pass, ask them to come and take over this fortress."

"Yes!"

Wu Dui Lun turned around to convey the order.

When ten power armor knights jumped off the airship and landed on the still burning city wall, the mechanical warriors who were preparing for close combat quickly sent back the message.

"There are no living people on the city wall, even the undead were burned to death. This ghost place smells just like hell. In addition, we found that there are still some hot melt cannons on the city wall that can be used. Do we need to remove them as our firepower supplement?"

"Yes!"

In response to the message sent back from below, the staff immediately responded:

"The airship that has dropped the bombs will return to the rear to replenish ammunition, just in time to send these high-value items back to the rear. The big guys of the Transian Arsenal are also improving the weapon system of the dragoons. The hot melt cannon can be used to replace the bulky gunpowder weapons.

Recovering a complete hot melt cannon counts as 10 military merits point.

But don't waste time. If you can't take it down, just leave it there. Friendly forces will be responsible for collecting it later.

Wait a minute, new orders are coming!

Three Death Colossi appear in front of you at seven o'clock and are moving. It seems that they are preparing to block our dragoons. The commander orders you to break into the city immediately and eliminate the roadblocking threat!

The call is over! "

As the power armor knights changed direction and rushed into the city, and the airships in the sky also dropped more power armor to the ground to break the obstacles, the artillery on the ground finally stopped roaring, and as the dragoon phalanx began to move forward, the players who had been waiting to enter the field finally became excited.

"Brothers, follow the dragoons!"

A newbie standing in the truck bed waved his weapon excitedly, but was pulled back into the truck bed by the driver next to him. The latter wore a helmet and shouted:

"Are you going to die? Put on your helmet and hold your machine gun! We didn't get the order to fight in the street, so you just sit in the truck bed!"

"Huh?"

The newbie complained with disappointment:

"Then what's the point of fighting? The enemies were all burned to death by the airships, and we couldn't even get a kill score. Tsk, the game experience is extremely bad."

As soon as the voice fell, a prompt popped up on the UI interface of all players:

[Pirige Oasis Assault Battle·The first line of defense gate was breached! The enemy was completely destroyed, and we had no casualties! All participating players' military merit points +10! 】

"Look, this is the game experience you want."

Ouni snorted, twisted the handlebars to make his motorcycle move coquettishly to catch up with the main force, and explained to the newbie who was sitting obediently in the truck bed with the tone of an experienced person:

"This is how the battle of the legionary battle is fought, just like when we were in the Black Flame Pass, achieving tactical goals is more important than killing many enemies. The staff makes a plan and the players who get the task do the work.

Don't think that the fierce attack now is easy and happy. This thing always gets harder and harder later. When you attack the main city of Pirig, you will have the opportunity to fight street battles. Just don't complain about being tired at that time."

"Ahhh."

The newbie nodded obediently. He held the machine gun on the truck bed vigilantly and asked curiously:

"Brother Ni, this military merit What's the use of the score? "

"Upgrade the rank."

Ouni explained:

"Every level of rank upgrade can be exchanged for corresponding equipment or consumables at the People's Army Logistics Department, such as Iron Fist missiles. They could be bought and sold before, but now they are uniformly provided by the Logistics Department. If you want them, you have to exchange them with military merits.

Alas, now the system is established. Although it is formal, it is not as free as we had in the past. Damn!

There's someone next to me!

Shoot quickly!"

Ouni screamed, and the newbie in the car immediately adjusted the shooting direction in a hurry. He fired a few shots at the outer periphery of the room that was being demolished by the dragoons on the side of the road. He didn't know if he hit anyone, but the noise over there soon quieted down under the trampling of the dragoons.

The players passed through this silent and noisy fortress city so quickly. Most people didn't even fire a gun in this battle, but the feeling of winning in a large group is always different from the individual's bravery fighting alone.

Although there is less heroic legend and bravery, this collective victory is obviously more real.

Especially those newbies sitting in the troop carrier.

They held their weapons and looked at the burning skeletons in the demolished ruins on both sides of the street. The corpses of the undead that were burned into strange postures represented a small Hades Army that had just been destroyed by them with sky fire and artillery shells. This was not the scene of fighting against the sea of ​​undead they imagined.

"Master Qin, there are traces of Hades Army activities 30 kilometers ahead. It should be that our attack on the fortress was sensed by them. They are marching in the wilderness and seem to be ready to stop us."

The commander of the reconnaissance unit, Yan Sang, sent a message from another airship:

"The enemy has a large number of people. It is estimated that the number of enemies should be more than 50,000, but their formation has not yet been deployed."

"Where is the enemy's air defense force?"

Old Qin asked, and Yan Sang replied:

"Except for a few bone eagle knights and dead bone birds, there is no air defense."

"Yeah."

Master Qin responded, and then gave orders to the airship formation:

"The third and fourth bombing formations will immediately set off to 30 kilometers ahead. Our reconnaissance division will specify the direction for you! The enemy has about 50,000 people marching in a dense manner. How long will it take you to solve the problem if they are moving in a non-air defense mode and have no air defense? "

"According to the excellent killing power of incendiary bombs against the undead and the explosion and burning range of the improved bombs, it will take about thirty minutes, Mr. Qin."

Doujiang Baidao replied after a few seconds of calculation:

"If special ammunition is allowed, the time will be even shorter."

"The new ones are trial-made cloud bombs made by alchemy!"

Mr. Qin shook his head and said:

"That thing is not very stable and is not used to attack the undead. Its lethality in open areas is not as strong as you think. Just use incendiary bombs, and white phosphorus bombs can be used when necessary. There is no need to annihilate the opponent. As long as it does not affect the rapid passage of the players, defeat is also an acceptable result."

"Received! Act immediately."

Doujiang Baidao responded.

So when the players quickly marched to that area, they saw a land ravaged by fire, countless corpses fell in the darkness, and many white-skeletal war scorpions and the huge undead structure were still burning after falling, like some kind of "war art".

After seeing the Transian army appear, a group of crazy Hades Knights roared and drove the bodies that remained in the flames to attack the army, but with the ruthless trampling of the dragoon formation, the undead warriors of the Pirig family failed to hurt any player in the end.

That evening, Lao Qin's army successfully arrived in front of the second fortress of the Pirig Oasis and passed through quickly after two hours of fighting. The whole army was unscathed.

The price was that the explosives of the airship formation were used up and more than half of the artillery shells used for marching had been consumed.

When this news reached Prince Khufu, he felt that he had grown up to be calm enough and immediately jumped up and cursed:

"Are those foreigners crazy? These explosives and ammunition are enough for our army to use for several years! They used them all in one day. What glory is there in this method of killing the enemy with explosives!

Those lunatics!

Damn it!

Are they going to use incendiary bombs to wash the entire Pirig Oasis?"

Khufu's anger is understandable.

Because he is the logistics director of this war, which means that he has to find a way to raise the consumption of Lao Qin in the front and it cannot affect the advancement of the war on the front line.

"Your Highness, the supplies that Colonel Qin needs"

The chief guard Sannick whispered:

"He asked us to prepare at least enough explosives for another round of releases within three days, but the production line at the Port of Origin is already running at full capacity. Even with the replenishment from the Port of Shardo on the other side of the strait, there is still a gap of one-third."

"Are the incendiary bombs used by the Transians complicated to make?"

Khufu asked, and the chief guard shook his head and said:

"Not complicated. Except for the need for burning gold, the undead production line of the Holy Moon City can meet all the production processes."

"Then mobilize the production line of the Holy Moon City, and all production will ensure the needs of the war."

Khufu made a prompt decision:

"At the same time, invite the commander of the Hades Army to come and observe the battlefield. I think they will be interested in this method of warfare. Although it seems that there is no technical content, if you can really win the battle with shells and explosives, it will also be the most efficient method of warfare for the empire."
