Ten thousand I am across the heavens

The start of the war caught everyone off guard. Although the artillerymen were not experienced in battle, they were well-trained. Repeated training made their artillery fire like a conditioned reflex, and they quickly suppressed the enemy's first wave of attack. It also suppressed the most dangerous assault.

This was the closest assault the enemy had ever made to the city wall. If the enemy had reached the city wall, within 500m, the effect of these direct fires would have been greatly reduced. With the speed of those masters, they could have quickly reached the top of the city wall. Compared to the power of these direct fires, the heavy machine guns were not powerful enough for the strong men in this world. Basically, only by laying down the anti-aircraft guns could they effectively kill the strong men above the third level.

At this moment, the bombardment of artillery fire brought great confusion to the enemy. But at the same time, the bombardment of artillery fire also had its flaws. The explosion of artillery created a lot of smoke. Not all observers could see the enemy's location through the smoke. Their reconnaissance skills would also be affected by the storm released by the artillery. In particular, the huge sound waves caused by the explosion of artillery shells would affect the effect of echolocation. Interfering with the judgment ability of these scouts.

At the same time, the attacking enemy also recovered a little from the initial chaos.

They each held a walkie-talkie. They called each other in confusion because they were not familiar with how to use the things in their hands. Most people concentrated on the same channel, making the internal voice very noisy. Whoever had the loudest voice would get the right to speak.

This thing was allocated to them by Dongfang Yuliang. It was said that he spent a lot of money to get it from the immortal behind the scenes. It was said that it came from a huge empire built in the distant southern Xinjiang. It was an export product of that empire. According to the description of the product, this thing can maintain communication within a range of more than ten kilometers, which has an immediate effect on the chaotic battlefield. Dongfang Yuliang saw the cross-era significance of this thing, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to get this thing from the immortal behind him.

The battle for the royal court in Beiyuan is actually very similar to the battle of the gods. It seems that a group of mortals are fighting, but in fact, it is the immortals behind the mortals who are playing a big game. The mortals on the battlefield are just chess pieces. This means that if one's side is in a defeat, it can beg the immortals behind to help to a limited extent. In the original history, Fangyuan participated in the battle for the royal court and took the opportunity to extort benefits from the immortals behind the Hei family. A large number of wolf packs, and even many wolf kings with strength reaching the fourth level, were extorted. These things are only the residue between the fingers of the immortals. But for the mortals on the chessboard, they are enough to determine the victory or defeat.

The communication devices worn by these commandos at this moment did work. Dongfang Yuliang considered that these untrained people would not be able to make good use of this communication device. So he gave the captain he chose the authority to mute all channels. When he needed to speak, he could mute everyone else.

At this moment, the channel was in chaos, and the effect of this order was reflected. The commando commander directly muted everyone and shouted in the channel: "All those who can fly, take off, and those who can't fly, lie down in the grass and don't move. The grass is dense, and as long as we don't move, it will be difficult for the enemy to find us.

Don't be afraid of those flying in the sky. The enemy's shells can only kill us on a large scale if they explode on the ground. The air is much wider than the ground, and they can't hit us accurately. "

The channel suddenly became quiet due to the ban. Only this one voice remained. Although many people did not recognize who made this voice, their instinct in panic made them subconsciously obey the words of the backbone who could stand up. In an instant, everyone flew into the sky one by one.

Those who couldn't fly lay down on the spot and hid in the bushes. This move was indeed effective. Although some people hiding in the bushes were a little slow and were killed by a cannon, more of them did avoid the searchlight's scanning. Under the cover of the smoke and dust caused by the artillery fire, they successfully escaped with their lives, but they didn't know when they could escape in the chaos.

Those that flew into the sky were still being tracked by searchlights, but as someone said before, the sky was so vast that how could the searchlights possibly keep up with them?

Searchlights shine on the ground. Because the reflections from objects on the ground can illuminate a large area. But in the sky, searchlights can only illuminate a cylindrical area. Unless you are unlucky enough to be covered by this cylindrical area, it is quite safe even if you fly in the sky, especially in the dark, it is even more difficult to detect their existence.

The city defense artillery also turned to fire into the air at this time. Limited technology meant that they were unable to identify the enemy's proximity fuse. The Gu Master was not an airplane and did not have many metal parts on its body. It was quite difficult for them to rely on electromagnetic induction and the Doppler effect to make the shells explode just when they passed by the enemy.

And if these shells do not explode, then the killing efficiency in the air will be extremely low. It is purely a matter of luck to want to penetrate the enemy by relying solely on the trajectory of the shells. It is still dark at this distance. The only possibility of stopping the enemy is to use shells to lay a barrage in the air and build a fire isolation zone in mid-air. Anyone who attempts to penetrate this barrier will be met with fierce fire.

The shells were equipped with time-delay fuses, and would explode after reaching a certain height in the air. The fragments from the explosion were the main source of damage. The shells in the sky exploded one by one like fireworks, releasing a large number of prefabricated fragments, forming a death storm zone in the sky.

The commandos who had always looked down on the shells and thought that they would not be able to hit them once they were in the sky, ran headfirst into them. Their heads were broken and bleeding. Some of the unlucky ones were pierced through by the prefabricated fragments. They lost the ability to fly and fell from a height of hundreds of meters.

There was no need to rescue him when he fell to the ground. He was no longer in human form. With this stupid method, many experts who were good at flying were actually stopped.

But to be honest, this move is just a stopgap measure, because this defense method has a major flaw. That is, it consumes too much ammunition. The underground base is not the Shanhe Republic, and the productivity has not expanded to that level. The production of shells also costs money, especially the powdered Jiaolei Potato Gu filled inside the shells. Even if the mother Gu purchased is the Shanhe Republic's repeatedly improved and very stable, the output of the explosives is still limited and cannot be used freely.

A defense like this can only last for a few hours at most before the ammunition is exhausted. By then, even if the enemy attacks the city wall head-on, they will probably be unable to resist due to the lack of ammunition.

The commander chosen by Dongfang Yuliang was obviously good at adapting to circumstances. Although he would not rush to the front line of the battlefield, he would carefully observe how other soldiers died on the battlefield, and then adjust his deployment accordingly. Another order came from the communication channel, asking the soldiers who were already blood-thirsty to stop attacking.

"All flying soldiers stop attacking and circle around the enemy's fire defense zone. Look for fire weaknesses, and once you find one, make a tentative attack. If you can't find it, it doesn't matter, just keep circling. I don't believe they have unlimited ammunition." In this era, more than half of the generals on the battlefield can use their brains. Those who can think of ideas are extremely rare. A large number of soldiers hovered in the air, hovering outside the fire storm. It really put a lot of pressure on the air defense soldiers in the underground base.

If their technology was more advanced, they would have a way to deal with this tactic. They could just launch missiles, rely on guidance, and hit the enemy who was evading flexibly in mid-air. However, today's technology can hardly produce chips, let alone produce missiles.

They were obviously well aware of their own shortcomings, so after the enemy retreated from the fire blockade, they did not try to attack with missiles. Instead, several special artillery shells were fired into the sky.

The anti-aircraft guns that fired these shells were adjusted to an exaggerated angle. The shells flew thousands of meters into the air, and then parachutes were opened in mid-air.

Soon after, suns rose in the sky one after another. The shells hanging under the parachute emitted extremely bright light. It continued to illuminate the sky and the battlefield, which immediately exposed the enemy's position. Originally, in the dark, they were circling in the air and it was difficult for anyone to find them. But at this moment, the place was illuminated by the flares as if it were daytime. The hiding effect of the night was completely useless.

As these people were illuminated, the anti-aircraft machine guns began to aim at them. The shooters were not good at shooting at such distant targets. The settings on the sights were actually of little use. At this time, tracer bullets were used to indicate the trajectory of the weapon. Then the trajectory of the weapon was manually adjusted to splash water on the enemies running around in the sky.

The accuracy of such water splashing is worrying. It is difficult to cause any fatal damage to enemies of this level. But one thing is that if the attack hits the wings, there is a high probability that the person will be knocked down from the sky. Even if you are prepared and don't fall to the ground and get seriously injured, you may still be hit by heavy artillery after falling to the ground. So you have to avoid such water splashing enemies.

As a result, the high-speed attack on the city wall was actually partially blocked, saving a large amount of artillery shells for setting up the blockade.

However, such defense can only stop those enemies below the fourth level. Once they reach the fourth level, their combat power is equivalent to that of the patriarch of each family. Although there are not many such masters, there are more than a dozen of them in the commando team. At this moment, relying on the strength of their bodies, they directly ignored the shrapnel, broke through the blockade and landed on the city wall.

Originally they were just planning to set fire to the city, but now it seemed that if they didn't tear a hole in the city wall's defenses and attract the enemy's attention, it would be difficult for those tribesmen who were not strong enough to evacuate safely.

Their fierce attack did produce results. The section of the city wall that was attacked suddenly stopped firing. Ma Hongyun watched helplessly as an artillery team beside him was buried under the broken city wall, and for a moment, he didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Before he could react, he was dragged down the city wall by someone. He was a battlefield mechanic and was not responsible for facing the enemy head-on. The logistics personnel would evacuate immediately when facing the enemy's attack. He was originally preparing to contain the opponent, but he was dragged back by his own people.

After these masters fell on the city wall, they blended into the no-man's land. Their powerful killing moves were as destructive as human missiles. When the distance was close, these people were able to quickly eliminate those targets that threatened them.

A fourth-level master, his whole body was the color of steel. The bullets from the heavy machine gun hit his body, splashing sparks, but could not break his defense at all.

Instead, he picked up a piece of scrap metal and threw it over, knocking both the man and the machine gun away.

The desperate gunners on the position placed their cannons horizontally, completely contrary to the requirements of their training, and fired horizontally at the enemy from the city wall. There was no need to aim the gun at this distance, and it was impossible to hit the target even by aiming with the naked eye.

With a bang of a cannon, the iron-gray enemy disappeared in an instant, was blown away by the shell, and smashed a city wall. But what made people despair was that in the collapsed city wall, a fourth-turn master whose clothes had turned into strips of cloth lifted up the collapsed city wall and climbed up again without any injury.

This scene made the gunner despair. If even the cannon in his hand could not hurt the enemy, then what hope did they have?

Ma Hongyun was anxious when he saw this scene. He wanted to help, but he was not sure about his own strength. Logically, he had absorbed the essence of a Ten Thousand Beast King. He was indeed very strong. But the Ten Thousand Beast King was only a fourth-level strongman, the same level as the man just now. He lacked combat experience and might be killed if he went up.

Just as he was struggling with his inner struggle, heavy footsteps sounded from the city. Several tons of heavy objects stepped on the ground and rushed towards the city wall at a high speed. He saw his old friend putting a heavy steel helmet on his head while running, dragging the extremely heavy power armor, and rushed to the top of the city.

The iron-gray rank 4 expert was walking slowly towards the desperate gunner, ready to enjoy the sight of her neck being broken, when he felt a huge force coming from his side. The heavy chainsaw sword hit him like a heavy hammer...
