Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 790: The technological gap that makes Japan despair

"How did this war turn out like this?" Montcomb was thinking about life.

To be honest, the fact that he was hidden away by the Kushans and wasted several years led to the fact that he did not have any so-called loyalty to the Kushans.

Therefore, after naturalizing in Xinghan, he has always been one of the people who actively cooperated, which is why he was able to take over the command of the army.

Even Rahul, the most capable fighter in Nangui, now does not have the right to command the army alone.

Montcomb was actually very excited about this glorious battle. After all, this was the first time he commanded a large army in battle after many years.

In fact, he was determined to achieve some results.

It is not only to prove myself, but also to verify what I have learned.

But now the battlefield has developed into something he can't understand at all.

Sun Ce took the lead and charged into the enemy's center from the flank alone. The infantry and cavalry behind him who were cooperating in the charge could not keep up with Sun Ce's speed at all.

It seemed like he was seeking death, but Sun Ce's magnificent momentum made people feel that he could kick the opponent's base to pieces in the next second.

On the other side, Taishi Ci, with his personal guards and mixed army, was advancing slowly relying on a large-scale attack range.

Although we were held back by the enemy, we were still advancing slowly on the overall front.

On the contrary, he was originally there to cooperate with the adventurous actions of the left and right wings in pressing forward on the entire front line.

Now I actually feel like I'm being pushed back by the opponent.

"How could this war turn out like this!" Montcomb felt a little annoyed.

In his idea, the central army should suppress the enemy's main force, the cavalry on both wings should infiltrate and disrupt the enemy's formation, and then the large square infantry should crush them.

The initiative should be in the hands of him as the commander of the large army.

But in this situation now, he has become a dispensable one.

"Get me the crossbow!"

After doubting his life for a long time, Montcomb finally decided to throw his brain away and start recklessly.

The war situation has deteriorated into such a mess, and we are still talking about whether to consume the cannon fodder or not.

All in, all in.

"Shoot your arrows. The monster army will charge at the left and right wings. The heavily armed mixed force will crush them from the center!"

A thousand medium-sized fine steel crossbows were fired at the Japanese soldiers with the sound of breaking bowstrings and the whistling sound of the air being torn.

Most of the Japanese soldiers' equipment were formed from the essence of heaven and earth. However, these equipment were like blank paper in front of crossbows and were easily penetrated.

"What is that?" Oda Nobunaga noticed this keenly.

To be honest, the protective properties of the equipment formed by the essence of heaven and earth are not bad, and most of them are full-body protective. Even the protective properties are only slightly worse than those of Xinghan.

It would be fine if light armor was penetrated, but the problem is that even the armor of those heavily armored warriors was easily penetrated.

Oda Nobunaga immediately realized that this thing was not simple.

"Artillery troops, carry out targeted strikes. Don't let them fire a second round!"

Oda Nobunaga immediately gave the order.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

After a round of volleys, Oda Nobunaga's face became extremely ugly.

Because those who use these fine steel crossbows are a group of strong men with big shoulders and waists, the kind of guards who wear heavy armor and large shields.

An army of iron monsters created specifically for long-range combat.

The cannon's attacks on these iron monsters were completely unable to cause any penetrating damage.

"Ready the arrow of will!"

Oda Nobunaga immediately mobilized a long-range elite force, intending to use arrows of will to deal with these iron monsters.

In the past, it was believed that monsters with maximum physical resistance were usually more afraid of will attacks.

Invisible arrows of will, as numerous as cow hair, instantly covered the army of iron monsters.

However, unlike what Oda Nobunaga had expected, these iron monsters did not waver at all.

"How can this be?"

Oda Nobunaga directly picked up the bow and arrow, mobilized the army, and then a dazzling arrow shot out from his hand and pierced through a guard soldier who was loading an arrow.

Then this dazzling glowing arrow of will exploded on the spot, sweeping in all directions with the impact of will, and the surrounding soldiers fell to the ground on the spot.

However, before Oda Nobunaga could put down the bow and arrow, except for the soldier who was directly pierced by him, the other soldiers who were affected and fell down climbed up shaking their heads.

"Possessing extremely high resistance to both physical and mental factors?" Oda Nobunaga's face turned extremely ugly.

This kind of army must be defeated first.

Otherwise, staying on the battlefield would be like a morale destroyer. It might not cause many casualties, but every shot would be a heavy blow to the morale of the army.

But even if he knew, he had no way to counter it.

The technological content of the equipment of both sides is completely not on the same level.

Everything they used was constructed from the essence of heaven and earth, so they were already one step behind in terms of technology, not to mention that the Qing court had imposed a technological blockade on them.

Meng Kangbu used the latest Zhuge Crossbow.

The Zhuge Crossbow, developed by Zhuge Liang, has launched many new versions after being studied by the Research Institute.

The arrows have the effect of isolating the military formation and can directly repel all the essence of heaven and earth, and the effect it manifests is to directly break the law.

The effect of elite talents will be greatly reduced when encountering this thing. For example, the Japanese people who are now armed with the essence of heaven and earth are even more vulnerable to it.

Not only can it penetrate armor, but it also has special attack capabilities against the eight million gods in Japan, making the effect even more outstanding.

Oda Nobunaga was overwhelmed at this moment.

What better time to kill someone than when you spend every day studying where to stab them to be more deadly and more efficient?

What's even more despairing is that the war outside has turned into a battle between phalanxes of drones.

Normally, when fighting against the army of monsters and eliminating disobedient bandits, there is no need to use those formal equipment at all.

Now I can only swallow my anger. Fortunately, the crossbow reloads very slowly, so even if I have to withstand the damage, it is enough to get through it.

Just as Oda Nobunaga was thinking this, thousands of streams of light appeared in the sky, each one was about one meter long and as thick as an arm.

In an instant, it passed over the front line of the Japanese army, and mushroom clouds rose in the direction of the long-range elite. A few seconds later, a dull roar came with air waves.

"Counterattack, artillery troops, counterattack immediately!"

Oda Nobunaga almost vomited blood. That was an elite army that could shoot arrows of will. How could they be wiped out in an instant?

The most crucial thing is that one thing leads to another too quickly. The opponent reveals this Iron Turtle Army just to lure the Will Army into the trap.

"Sir, our range is not enough to hit the enemy!"

The answer from his subordinates made Oda Nobunaga's eyes darken.

How can we fight like this? Are we going to be beaten unilaterally?

He never thought that his legion, which was proud of its shooting range, would one day tell him that its shooting range could not reach the enemy.

Montcomb sneered twice.

Boy, do you understand the Beyond Visual Range Legion?
This set of Changshui's classic tactics is specifically used to restrain these long-range troops.

In addition, Moncomb and Rahul had studied the art of peacock conducting for a period of time, so he was quite skilled in this point-to-point breakthrough.

"The Changshui Camp is suppressing the explosion, and the Long Spear Army is forcing a breakthrough!"

Meng Kangbu didn't care about Oda Nobunaga's reaction. After a series of designs to crush Oda Nobunaga's long-range troops, he decisively ordered the Changshui Camp to suppress them by blasting.

The opponent would not give them a second chance to kill them, so they simply gave up on sniping and chose to directly suppress the cannon troops under Oda Nobunaga's command.

The so-called blasting suppression is to completely weaken the power and directly turn it into shock interference. Once an explosion goes down, the bombed troops will be thrown to the ground and will not be able to attack in an organized manner.

If long-range troops cannot attack in an organized manner, their power will be reduced exponentially. For some elite troops, they can simply rely on intuitive reactions to block and evade.

After the long-range troops on the Japanese side were shut down, Montcomb directly ordered the spearmen in the center to advance.

The standard formation advancement mode of the Qin square formation is a block-shaped formation of spears, halberds, crossbows and spears.

It looks the stupidest, but it is definitely the strongest military formation at this right position.

Without the specialized effects of the Xuanxiang Formation, it is just a simple and crude defense and attack bonus.

It's a straight forward move. Either you crush me or I crush you. It's that straightforward.

If it was just a phalanx charge, Oda Nobunaga could have fought back in the same way.

But the problem now is that Oda Nobunaga's ranged troops are silenced, but Xinghan's ranged troops are not.

The rain curtain formed by the high-speed rain of arrows made the Japanese side breathless, and combined with the advance of the spear troops, the effect was even more simple and brutal.

After Oda Nobunaga felt the difference, he reluctantly chose to retreat, pulling the sidelines inward to form a V-shaped formation, delaying the advance of the spear phalanx as much as possible.

"Cross screen!"

The soldiers on the inside provided cross-cover, delaying the phalanx's advance on one hand, while looking for a breakthrough from the monster cannon fodder on both sides on the other.

Oda Nobunaga forcibly broke up his own defense line into several lines, with each line consisting of a thousand men, and used the traction formed by the military formation to forcibly drag the monster army towards the center.

Oda Nobunaga wanted to repel the monsters and got stuck in front of the spear formation, forcing the spear formation to be unable to exert its combat effectiveness.

Meng Kangbu was at a loss. In his opinion, he should have directly defeated the opponent and Sun Ce in this round.

As a result, Oda Nobunaga made some micro-management and managed to stabilize the situation with his command operations under extreme disadvantage.

Although the Japanese army under the command of Oda Nobunaga also experienced command chaos due to the intersection of the lines.

But the other side had enough people, and they managed to fill up this chaotic pit with their lives.

In the battle between the two sides, Oda Nobunaga cut inwards and retreated, which was equivalent to chaos in the rear, while Montcombe cut inwards and pursued, which was directly equivalent to chaos in the line position.

Although there were heavy casualties, the situation was stabilized for Oda Nobunaga.

For Oda Nobunaga, the front army was just cannon fodder anyway, so every extra second of delay was useful.

If there is chaos, just give away heads, as long as it does not affect the overall performance. But Moncomb is in great trouble.

He could use the monster army as cannon fodder, but he couldn't bear to part with the regular troops.

Under the lead of Oda Nobunaga's army, the advancing phalanx was now being swept back by the monster army and its position became chaotic.

Even if he now directly ordered the charging phalanx to kill the monster cannon fodder together, the chaos still could not be resolved.

Moreover, these monsters are only allies after all. They can be sacrificed, but they cannot be backstabbed by their own people.

Meng Kangbu glanced at the group of big monsters standing in the center of the army, and finally had no choice but to start to reorganize the battle line.

If it were in the Kushan Empire in the past, these monsters would be low castes and untouchables, so he would just kill them all.

But now, we still have to be cautious.

But no matter what, the frontal situation is now equivalent to using random soldiers to fight against regular soldiers. Even if Xinghan's side has stronger hardware, it will be difficult to gain an advantage.

Montcomb had no way to deal with Oda Nobunaga's sacrificial style of play. The opponent didn't care about casualties at all, so how could he possibly break through the opponent's defense line?

It is said that if Oda Nobunaga had not been afraid that Sun Ce would suddenly turn around and attack his defense line.

He should now directly use the regular troops to suppress the disorderly troops, force the battle line to be pushed back, and then squeeze Montcomb's battle line and force the spears to point at his own side.

However, Oda Nobunaga did not dare to gamble.

Sun Ce's beastly instinct took advantage of the moment when they were unable to mobilize their troops and directly broke through the battle line, making Oda Nobunaga dare not leave any hidden dangers.

But even so, Oda Nobunaga relied on extreme sacrifices to stop Montcombe's attack.

Even if it weren't for the advantage of long-range troops on Montcomb's side, he could have tried to strangle the Spear Corps.

Montcomb stared at the battle situation intently. He had never seen such a command before. He had to admit that forcing the enemy's front line into chaos while crushing the enemy with regular soldiers was always a very correct tactic.

"It's really troublesome that any opponent I encounter is so difficult to deal with!"

Montcomb gritted his teeth. It was no use trying to find someone to blame now that the battle situation had turned out like this. He now had to adjust the battle line as soon as possible.

It is Sun Ce and Taishi Ci's job to defeat the enemy. Since he is in charge of commanding the central army, he must win from the central army.

Montcombe also has pride, so he will not accept victory given by others.

"Shrink the front again."

Montcomb took a deep breath and took the initiative to shrink the battle line, turning it into a triangle.

There is nothing much to say. He will accumulate strength first, and then break through in one breath. This time he will definitely not give the opponent a chance to micro-manipulate.

"Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, you two bastards, be serious. I can't hold on any longer!" Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga had already guessed Montcombe's plan.

But just like before, even if he knew, he had no way to counter it.

Montcombe held an advantage that he could not resolve. He could only try his best to stabilize the situation and then pin his hopes on the friendly forces on both wings.

"Oh my, it seems I need to be more serious!" Takeda Shingen listened to Oda Nobunaga's roar and knocked on his helmet helplessly.

Sun Ce frowned, not understanding what Takeda Shingen meant. He didn't think that Takeda Shingen would have any energy left to deal with him and the Jiefan Army.
