Chapter 707: Artillery Supremacy
Chapter 707: Artillery Supremacy
Chen Cheng did not forget to remind him at the end, because he was afraid that Huidun would really regard the Beast King as a brainless beast.
And this is not only a reminder to Huidun, but also a reminder to others through Huidun's mouth.
After hearing this, Huidun put away the smug look on his face and said to Chen Cheng:
"I've made a note of that. We'll follow your tactics later. We really can't think of them as stupid beasts that only know how to charge."
Then Huidun called the messenger and passed down his military orders.
Then he came to Kurz and others and repeated what Chen Cheng had just said.
After Kurz and others agreed, they also looked at Chen Cheng on the side.
Originally, when Huidun heard that Chen Cheng went to the elves to seek medical treatment because of his serious injuries, he should have distanced himself from him after a long time, but he didn't expect that Huidun would still listen to his words.
Chen Cheng just faced them with a polite smile, and then he took Sifit and the others and followed the messenger down the city wall.
When he arrived at the city gate, Chen Cheng saw Sheli waiting there.
At the same time, standing next to him was Marta, a rather wild woman.
At this time, Marta was wearing a belt with bullets and grenades hanging on her body, and a rifle on her waist, looking like a female iron-blooded warrior.
"Lord."
Chen Cheng nodded, then looked at Marta and said:
"Miss Marta, what is this outfit of yours..."
"Brown, I'm currently being recruited by His Highness Huidun as a fire support soldier. I got all this at the Quartermaster's Office. Aren't you going out of the city to kill monsters? My equipment could be put to good use."
As she spoke, Marta raised her rifle and made a sweeping motion.
Marta is not a young lady who has never been involved in housework. She spent almost the first half of her life picking up garbage in the ruins of the abandoned city.
Although she did not receive good training, her eyesight, skills and intelligence are all top-notch.
So after getting these equipments, he immediately became very good at playing, and was no less skilled than those trained special forces soldiers in Chen Cheng's previous life.
While Marta was demonstrating, Sheli pulled her and said:
"Don't act like that in front of the Lord."
There was more emotion in Sheli's words this time than before.
When Marta heard this, she stuck out her tongue and then put her rifle back on her shoulder.
Then Sheli came to Chen Cheng and said:
"My lord, I went to the Baron's Palace and saw that Baron Kekeber had organized the palace guards to be trained in the artillery guard outside the city.
Miss Finier and her companions followed the academy dean Adolf and others out of Huidun City. They were going to set up a defensive array covering more than 300 miles on Jiling Mountain.
However, there's no need to worry about the safety of Miss Finier and the others, because the Jiling Ridge where they are is a teleportation node controlled by the Academy Alliance. If there's a threat, they can simply evacuate via the teleportation array."
Sheli is worthy of being Sheli. He understood the situation clearly in just half a day.
After hearing this, Chen Cheng felt a little relieved.
The artillery guard team will not go directly to the front line. Huidun arranged Kekeber there to take care of him.
Since Finier and the others are following Adolf and the others, Chen Cheng believes that Adolf will protect them.
"Okay, then it's our battle."
A new round of artillery fire appeared outside the city, and tens of thousands of monsters were defeated.
And the new record once again shocked everyone's cognition.
Because this time the Beast King really adjusted his attack mode, the monsters that became the vanguard were either earth-type monsters with thick skin and flesh, or platinum-level beast kings with strong skin and durability.
However, even such an offensive team eventually fell under the endless barrage of bullets.
Chen Cheng and his men below the city wall could hear the excited chatter of the generals on the wall who had seen the battle reports.
"Too powerful! If we have countless artillery pieces and an inexhaustible supply of ammunition, our Kingdom of Moss won't have to worry about threats from other kingdoms."
Indeed, when a general sees traditional massed charging formations being rapidly destroyed in batches by new artillery, he will definitely develop this war mentality of artillery supremacy.
In Chen Cheng's previous life, what really made everyone realize that hot weapons were more powerful than cold weapons was the emergence of organized artillery units.
The Ming Dynasty in ancient China defeated the Mongols, who were known to be invincible on horseback, because of artillery, and established the most powerful Ming Dynasty in the world at that time. At the same time, it formed the world's first firearms unit at that time.
His subsequent successors launched five attacks on the grassland, completely destroying this nation that was once called the Scourge of God by Europe.
Napoleon of France in Western Europe also used organized artillery units and almost unified the entire Europe.
Subsequently, Europe defeated countless powerful enemies through the development and utilization of artillery, until it defeated the East and became the new center of the world.
And the existence that maintains their hegemony is the artillery they are armed with.
As the prime minister of a European kingdom said, the truth is only within the range of cannons.
The subsequent development of human weapons has all been about developing more advanced cannons with greater explosive power and longer range.
It can be said that the era in his previous life was an era driven forward by artillery.
Now, when Chen Cheng once again heard the world's military strategists praising cannons, he knew that he was about to succeed.
The city gate was slowly opened, and the general on the city wall came down with a command flag, and then commanded teams of new recruits who had only been trained in ordinary shooting and throwing to march out of the city.
Fortunately, the enemy they are facing now is a huge monster. Under the cover of artillery and magic shields, they only need to pull the trigger without thinking.
At the same time, because of the existence of magical energy in this world, ordinary people's physique is stronger than that of ordinary people in Chen Cheng's previous life.
So there is no problem at all in throwing grenades.
Chen Cheng took Sifit and the others out of the city with the army.
Huidun stood in the most conspicuous position on the top of the city wall and looked at the soldiers below.
He did not go to the battlefield in person not because he was cowardly, but because as long as everyone could look back and see him on the city wall, the morale of these makeshift armies would not be lost.
The army began to disperse, without leaving any troops as reserves. In an instant, the army of more than 100,000 people formed a line of soldiers with no end in sight.
They didn't have much time to dig trenches, only one barrage and two rounds of idle time, about two hours.
Chen Cheng and his men did not stand still with a self-important attitude, but followed the soldiers around them to dig trenches.
These temporarily recruited soldiers were all locals of Huidun City, so they all knew Chen Cheng.
When they saw that even Chen Cheng came with weapons to dig trenches with them, they dug even harder.
With Brown, His Highness's close friend, by their side, and their home and His Highness to whom they are loyal behind them, their struggle at this moment is intense.
Fortunately, the chosen location for the battle was the loose soil pushed over from the previous construction of the industrial park, so it was not difficult to dig.
In addition, they were all well fed and well-drinking, so they immediately dug a bunker trench in front of them.
