Chapter 2421: A Loss-Making War
The advantage of an elite army is not just to resist beatings.
They should not only consider how to make their own losses smaller, but also how to make the enemy's losses greater.
This naturally requires the help of equipment, such as immortal-killing beads and formation-breaking cannons.
If investment in weapons and equipment is increased, it will naturally cause greater losses to the enemy.
But here's the problem, the resources Ma Yi brought are somewhat insufficient.
The first is the consumption of formation-breaking artillery. Every time they break through a line of defense, they have to fire ten cannons.
The formation-breaking cannon is not an ordinary cannon, not the kind of cannon used on the battlefield to cover enemy troops with firepower and bombardment.
It is a weapon used to deal with powerful defensive formations such as the Mountain Guard Formation, and naturally consumes extremely huge resources.
And this is a weapon with spatial properties.
It can be seen from the way it is used that this thing cannot be stored in the Qiankun Bag and can only be carried by ghost cultivators or transported using vehicles.
Therefore, the shells it consumes are also very expensive and contain materials with spatial properties.
Its shelling had no flight trajectory and directly broke through the mountain guarding formation.
From this point we can see how special its shells are.
Strictly speaking, the formation-breaking cannon cannot actually be regarded as a cannon, but more like a sacrificial item.
Its shelling process is like a way of offering sacrifices, or a process of casting a curse, so the shells cannot be seen during the shelling, and the mountain guarding formation is also directly opened.
This kind of attack method is also very expensive.
The problem Ma Yi is facing now is that there are not enough shells for the formation-breaking cannon.
The ten lines of defense in front, they all
A total of nearly a hundred rounds of artillery shells were consumed.
Except for the two lines of defense in the middle, which only fired two cannons, the rest started with at least ten cannons, especially the first line of defense, which fired more than ten cannons.
There are not many shell materials left, and there are probably forty or fifty shells left.
Ma Yi's headache now is how many lines of defense Wuwang Village has.
They have already reached the tenth line of defense, and Wuwang Village still has a line of defense.
And judging from the current advancement distance, they are still about half way away from the center of Wuwang Village.
Judging from the layout and spacing of the defense lines in the front, there should be about ten lines of defense in the back.
Ma Yi was completely unsure now. He didn't know if the dozens of remaining shells were enough to knock down Wuwang Stronghold.
If Wuwang Village still has ten lines of defense, then according to their current method, the artillery shells will definitely not be enough.
Even if there are actually more lines of defense behind Wuwang Village, or there may be some other defensive arrangements, then their few artillery shells will not be enough.
So their next attack will be more troublesome.
On each line of defense, they need to open at least three or four gaps, otherwise it will be difficult to have a chance to break through.
This is mainly because of Xiaoqian's Cangyan Fire.
The fog and the defensive method of Cangyan Fire can at least take care of one or two positions, forming a huge threat and deterrence to Crescent Mountain's attack.
Yueyashan has now figured out Xiaoqian's attack patterns.
The closer a gap position is about to be breached, and when all the coalition soldiers in the fog are about to be wiped out, it's time for Xiaoqian to take action and light the fire.
By this time, basically the only ghosts of the coalition forces were left in the fog.
The meat bomb, Xiaoqian's small spark, instantly ignited the entire fog, and the coalition forces basically suffered no losses.
Crescent Mountain naturally does not dare to invest a large number of troops into the fog at this time, and can only wait for the forwards to kill through the fog first.
But if they didn't invest any troops at all, Xiaoqian wouldn't be able to ignite the fog.
This is a typical case of not letting go of the eagle when you see the rabbit.
The coalition forces will even counterattack, destroy their remaining commandos, and retake the position in the gap.
If you continue to invest in the army, you will have to worry about being attacked by the Cang Yan Fire.
Therefore, it is difficult for them to capture the gap position that Xiaoqian defends, and even if they capture it, they will suffer a lot of losses.
If they don't want to be delayed by Xiaoqian and waste their troops, they must continue to maintain a multi-channel attack fighting method and quickly break through the gaps that Xiaoqian cannot take care of.
Opening three gaps in each line of defense is already the minimum standard.
If it is any less, they will lose more in personnel and other materials such as Immortal Killing Pearls.
But it was only a three-way attack, which was still risky for them, because they didn't know which gap Xiaoqian would hide behind.
Therefore, when the enemy personnel in the gap are suspected to have left their positions, they must remain vigilant. Otherwise, if Xiaoqian suddenly sets fire to attack, the assault team they invested will be thrown into the water, and no one will be left.
These problems gave Ma Yi a headache. Who would have thought that there would be so many lines of defense inside Wuwang Village?
He wanted to continue bombing with the formation-breaking cannon, but there just weren't enough shells.
It is impossible to continue to apply for material reinforcements from Crescent Mountain, because the higher-ups have equipped him with
The artillery shells already exceeded the standard. To capture a bandit's stronghold and consume dozens of artillery shells was a bit too much.
He has now spent nearly a hundred artillery shells. In theory, this war has already lost money.
This still does not include materials such as the Immortal-Destroying Pearl.
Speaking of the immortal beads, Ma Yi counted the stocks and found that some were not enough.
Their attack method is to use the Immortal-Destroying Pearl to open a path, which consumes a large amount. Previously, they attacked ten routes at the same time, so the consumption is naturally even greater.
Even if they are now reduced to three attack routes, their supply pressure is still considerable.
Ma Yi thought about it over and over, and finally lost confidence in this war.
It seems that we can only wait for reinforcements.
Ma Yi was calculating silently in his heart, and did not dare to tell his subordinates.
The coalition forces naturally didn't know Ma Yi's troubles, but they also noticed abnormalities from the intensity of Crescent Mountain's attack.
After a few days of truce, Yueya Mountain began to attack again.
But this time, they only opened three gaps in the coalition's defense line and divided the attack into three directions.
When attacking, the frequency of their use of Immortal Destroying Pearls has also been reduced a lot.
As a result, the ghost cultivators in Crescent Moon Mountain were beaten most of the time and rarely used the Immortal-Destroying Pearl to fight back against the coalition's ghost cultivators.
The coalition forces still used a large number of ghost flesh bombs, which caused the ghost cultivators in Crescent Moon Mountain to be devastated.
This time the battle lasted longer than before, and there were more casualties in Crescent Mountain. Moreover, Xiaoqian still took advantage of the opportunity and used Cangyan Fire to sneak attack, causing the death of hundreds of their ghost cultivators.
In the end, they took advantage of the mist and just got caught
After the flames burned away, he broke through the defense line in one breath and gained a firm foothold behind the defense line.
