I walk in the past, continue the future

Chapter 170 Ambush
"One day ago, our army marched here and encountered enemy resistance on a low slope.

The enemy is very tenacious, but under our absolute strength, the enemy finally retreated. However, due to our unfamiliarity with the terrain, we did not pursue it deeply.

So some scouts were sent to investigate. The scouts said that they needed to pass through an ice field ahead, and the enemy had already retreated behind the ice field.

Moreover, the scouts captured some wounded who were left behind. We tortured them, but they would rather die than submit. So far, we have not gained any useful information.

The above is our battle situation these days, Mr. Haihu. "

In the camp that belongs to the paradise.

Brother An was reporting the battle situation these days to a middle-aged man.

"Better die than surrender?" Haihu frowned.

"Yes." Brother An nodded, "These people's fighting will is scary, as if death is not the end for them, but home.

Although we repelled them, our side also suffered heavy losses. If the opponent's strength is equal to ours, the possibility of our victory is very small. "

"After all, once they are defeated, their wives and children will die. It is understandable if they are strong-willed." Haihu nodded.

But to his astonishment, Brother An vetoed this.

"No, that's different."

There was a little fear in An Ge's eyes.

"Even for the sake of their wives and children, there are always some people who feel the fear of death at the last moment, but none of the people I met had any fear. They are more like dead soldiers than fighters."

"Dead man?" Haihu frowned, "Is it the brainwashing magic from the frozen soil?"

"I think it should be." Brother An said, "When Sparrowhawk and the others came here to negotiate with me, they mentioned the afterlife to me."

"Afterlife?"

"The world after death, in their description, seems very beautiful." An Ge said.

"Heh." Haihu showed a little contempt on his face, "It's really ridiculous, that Master Sparrowhawk back then has started to use this kind of trick to deceive others now.

Sure enough, he was expelled from the Promised Land by the Pope for a reason.

The same is true for Tianhai, extremely stupid.

Brother An, let me tell you, there has never been an afterlife in this world. People only have one life. When they die, they die. There is nothing left. "

He looked deeply into the distance, at the sunset gradually setting towards the west.

"And now we are fighting for this one and only life.

Since they regard death as home, let them see how tenacious our will to live is.

Within half an hour, with the army ready, we will pass through that icefield by night tonight, and immediately head for our final destination.

Revenge for Lord Hein! "

"Go from the ice field?" Brother An couldn't help but said, "There are no bunkers for several kilometers there. What if we are ambushed by the enemy? The scouts are looking for the rest of the way, should we wait?"

"We can wait, but the tens of millions of people behind us can't wait any longer. They are suffering from hunger and cold, and they desperately need food and warmth." Haihu said.

"The opponent has been defeated once, it is difficult to organize an ambush in a short time, and now the night is getting dark, now is the best time for us to march through there quickly!
What's more, what kind of attack do you think they can organize? "

Haihu said disdainfully, "The average magic power of the waste that has been discarded in the frozen soil is not even one-tenth of that of the person with the least magic power in the paradise, so it is difficult to form a relatively dense fireball network.

Even if there is an ambush, we can crush it with absolute strength!

We need to get through before they regroup! "

Hearing this, Brother An also nodded, "Yes! I'll make arrangements right away."

Then, he ran out of the camp and began to mobilize a part of the army to prepare for an emergency march. Their preparations were very fast, and they packed up their supplies in about 15 minutes and entered the ice field.

At the same time, on the other side, behind a hillside at the end of the ice sheet, a group of Tundramen dressed in white yak skins were quickly assembling the gun barrels brought from the arsenal in the underground city.

The scouts had explored this place not long ago by flying through the sky with magic power, but the yak skins they wore were natural snow mountain auspicious suits.

They didn't find out at all.

Soon, row after row of mortar arrays gradually formed.

Qianjun, one of the first three Earthlings to enter the frozen soil, was lying on the hillside with Sparrowhawk wearing yak skin, using the fifth element to enhance his eyesight and looking into the distance. They were silent, waiting for the enemy to step in. into their line of sight designed trap
The commander of this battle is Qianjun, and Sparrowhawk is the auxiliary commander.

For hundreds of years in Promised Land, because of the existence of the pope and the plan to abandon the old, there have been very few wars, and most of them are small-scale counter-insurgencies.

And even hundreds of years ago, when the plan to abandon the old did not exist, the so-called war in the small land of the Promised Land was at most a village-level weapon fight for Shenzhou.

How can it compare with the wars that China has experienced for 5000 years.

For National Defense Sheng Qianjun, who has experienced systematic tactical and strategic education, it is not difficult for him to command this war even if it is on paper.

Qianjun is a heroic spirit. Because of the background Xia Lian set for them, they are very respected by the Tundra people. Therefore, Qianjun came to be the commander of this battle, and these people also recognized it very much.

He took a deep breath, quietly waiting for the enemy to appear, and soon, a group of heavily dressed troops appeared in their sight.

Sparrowhawk looked at Qianjun with a little joy on his face.

And Qianjun raised his finger to his mouth to signal him to be quiet, Sparrowhawk didn't say a word, looking at the army in the distance with complicated eyes.

Their previous defeat was obviously a drama to lure the enemy into deep, and they sent some undead heroic spirits to create a scene of heavy casualties.

However, because there were too few heroic spirits to create the feeling of the main force, some soldiers from the frozen soil were also mixed in. The battle was very fierce, which also caused some casualties.

It was those people that Tianhai brought into the afterlife.

The enemy stood in a military column, marching forward very disciplinedly, gradually approaching, ten kilometers, eight kilometers, until five kilometers.

Sparrowhawk couldn't help looking at Qianjun.

"Don't worry." Qianjun murmured softly, "We haven't tried this mortar, so try to be conservative."

Sparrowhawk nodded, and a few minutes later, as the enemy got closer, their pressure increased, three kilometers, two kilometers
Suddenly, Qianjun clenched his fists violently, and shouted at the people behind him.

"Set to shoot the elements! The azimuth angle is 27, and the shooting angle is 65!"

Qianjun trained these people for a short period of tactical actions, and they quickly began to obey Qianjun's words and adjust the angle of the mortar, while another group of people picked up the shells and entered the preparations.

"preparation!
--put!"

Accompanied by Qianjun's order.

All the people with the shells put the shells into the barrels of the mortars, and at that moment.

"Pfft~"

With the crisp sound, dozens of shells slid a graceful arc in the air until they flew towards the army.

The lead officer, Hai Ying, seemed to have noticed something, raised his head nervously, and saw several oval metal iron bullets flying towards them.

Looking at the cannonball flying towards them, after confirming that it was not a fireball, his mood eased a little.

He smiled disdainfully, then turned his head to look at the army behind him, and said with a smile.

"Be careful, the other side has started throwing stones, don't be smashed."

The moment his words fell, the mortar shells also fell straight into the crowd, but it may be a problem of workmanship, or it may be a trick.

The first, apparently a dud, did not explode.

Looking at the iron bullet that fell into the ice, unprecedented laughter erupted from the crowd, as if they were laughing at the innocence and weakness of the other party, and such things also wanted to cause harm to them.

But in the next second, another iron bullet followed.

"boom!!!"

The scorching flames and impact made a piercing roar and exploded in the crowd. Before the soldiers even had time to use magic to defend, they were directly blown away by the impact and fell to the ground covered in blood.

There was silence among the crowd, but then, dozens of mortars shot from the sky.

Haiying's expression changed instantly, and he yelled at the people around him, "Scatter, scatter! Use magic to build a bunker! Hurry up!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of mortar shells landed at the moment his words fell, and these people had no time to dodge and were directly hit by the mortar shells.

The power of these shells is not strong, only stronger than grenades, but they are densely packed and slow to respond. Qianjun and others took the lead. The bombardment of this wave of mortar barrage directly reduced their staff A dozen people.

And it was also in this wave that these Paradise people spread out to the surroundings, and directly used ice blocks to build an ice wall almost several meters high in front of them, and they hid behind the ice wall.

In their past battles, most of the fireball techniques were like guns, with straight or oblique impacts, so most of the bunkers they built were used to defend against straight and oblique attacks from the front.

Inertial thinking harmed them, but what they didn't realize was that the mortar was an attack from the sky.

Hiding in trenches and bomb craters, behind bunkers behind walls, hiding behind buildings behind mountains, lying down and crawling, is all useless.As long as the top of the head is open, it can hit you.

The mortars were all deployed behind the bunkers, and the people in the happy land could not find out where the shells came from. .

They rely on Qianjun's instructions and can beat their opponents.The enemy cannot see them.

The mortar looks inconspicuous as a small cannon, but its data is actually scary.

From World War II to the present, [-] to [-] percent of the casualties on the ground battlefield are caused by artillery, and three quarters of them are caused by mortars.

"boom!"

With the explosion of the bomb, the people behind the ice wall were hit, Haiying reacted and continued to order.

"Over the head! Over the head!"

They created an ice dome that enveloped them.

But what they don't know is that this is also in Qianjun's arms
