Sixty-three, blood sea corpse mountain (24)
The battle lasted until January 19, 814, and the war had started for almost five months. The Tianhu Army had lost more than 1,100 frontal army groups and had lost almost one-third of its troops. Even if there was a certain replenishment in these five months, Tianhu Tiehai had at best only 2,000 frontal army groups. On the contrary, in the past five months, the equipment seized by the Yanhuang clan has reached the equipment of the total 700 frontal army groups. These equipment has been re-equipped by the Yanhuang clan, and the others are still being repaired and decrypted one after another. I believe they will be constantly equipped.
The depth of the liquid metal layer of Storm Fortress has dropped to 3,600 kilometers, and the entrance and exit of the fortress can be seen within another 100 kilometers. Sun Tiejian has no good idea. Although the entrance and exit have been sealed, it is much easier to attack the entrance and exit of the fortress than to attack other liquid metal layers. Once the Tianhu Army discovers the entrance and exit of the fortress, the consequences will still be very troublesome. But this is no longer a matter of stoppable. The only thing Sun Tiejian can do is adjust his strategic deployment and deploy heavy troops to defend the entrance and exit of the fortress.
At this point, the top leaders of the Tianhu Army have not been shaken yet, but the officers and soldiers of the middle and lower levels have been scared by the huge casualties and want to give up. However, the military orders are everywhere, and they have no choice but to go to the battlefield to the death.
Fortunately, among the large number of damaged troops, cloned soldiers accounted for the vast majority, and only about 15% of the real Tianhu Empire died in battle. If all the people who died in battle were natural people, I was afraid that the morale of the Tianhu Empire would collapse. But after almost five months of hard fighting, I still didn't see the dawn of victory. It is inevitable that the morale of the Tianhu Army was depressed.
The formation of the Yanhuang clan caused the Tianhu Army to suffer a lot. Each use of the formation caused the Tianhu Army to lose dozens of front-line armies. After these five months of battle, the five formations of the Storm Fortress were used in turn, which made the Tianhu Army know that there were only five formations of the Storm Fortress, and after each formation was used, it would take at least about twenty-eighth to thirty-five days to repair before it could be used again. Therefore, the Tianhu Army also mastered the opportunity. After the Storm Fortress used a round of formations, the next thing was the Tianhu Army's crazy attack period, which made the Yanhu Clan pay a lot of more. However, this is normal. In such a war, if the opponent could not get information from it, there would be no qualified commander in the Tianhu Army.
On January 31, another wave of attacking troops began to attack the fortress. However, before the second round of gunfire was started, a strange object appeared on the radar. The object was very large, hundreds of square kilometers in size. Moreover, this strange object did not vibrate with the vibration of liquid metal. The front line commander immediately reported the situation.
After receiving the report, Tianhu Tiehai laughed: "The entrance and exit of their fortress have finally been revealed. Next, we will concentrate our efforts to attack the entrance and exit of the fortress to see when they can support it." For Tianhu Army, the dawn of victory in the war finally appeared.
The entrance and exit of the Storm Fortress is twenty-five kilometers long and twenty kilometers wide, and is a size of 500 square kilometers. What is inside is unknown, but it is certain that the entrance and exit must have been blocked by the Yanhuang clan, and what the Tianhu Army has to do is to blast the entrance and exit. Even if the thickness is thousands of kilometers thick, every gunfire can burst out a large hole hundreds of meters deep. As long as the gunfire is constantly bombarded, the entrance and exit position can definitely be blasted through a large hole.
The battle on the front line continued, but Tianhu Tiehai held a military meeting to discuss the next action plan. Silver Star Lieyan was the first to speak: "Your Excellency Commander, everyone, the next step should be to concentrate our main force to attack the entrances and exits of the fortress, and we must blow it up no matter how much the price it costs. Of course, our army no longer needs to concentrate a large number of troops to carry out a comprehensive attack. It only needs to concentrate a small piece of troops and attack in batches." Many marshals agreed with Silver Star Lieyan's proposal.
Tianluo Zhongshi had different opinions: "Everyone, if this is the case, we will definitely not be able to open the entrance and exit of this fortress. Now, I am not considering how our army should attack, but I am considering what the Yanhuang tribe will react. I believe that the Yanhuang tribe will know better than us what the entrance and exit of this fortress means. Once the entrance and exit of the fortress is blasted open by our army, hundreds of millions of soldiers of our army will be able to attack the fortress from this entrance. At that time, even if the Yanhuang tribe soldiers can fight tens of thousands of enemies, it will be useless. Some of our army will clone soldiers. Therefore, they will never allow our army to open the entrance and exit."
It makes sense, very reasonable. A marshal asked: "What about the opinion of Adjutant Tianluo?" "If we want to stop our army from bombing the entrances and exits of the fortress, the Yanhuang tribe must dispatch a large army to intercept our fleet. It is impossible to stop our army's attack by relying on the Tianhu Fortress artillery and floating artillery. Our army can now send a large number of chariot troops to attack near the attack. By then, once our army lands at the entrances and exits of the fortress, it will be able to carry out continuous attacks. Although the attack power of the chariot troops is not strong, it is not difficult to bombard the armor. Therefore, the Yanhuang tribe will definitely consider the possibility of our army landing, so they have no other way except to dispatch a fleet to fight space war with us."
Tianluo Zhongsheng took a sip of boiling water and continued: "If I were Sun Tiejian, I would use the fleet and the fortress Tianhu Fortress cannons and formations, and I would use the Tianhu Fortress cannons and formations of the fortress. On the one hand, use the Tianhu Fortress cannons to kill our army as much as possible. Then use the formation to carry out large-scale killing on our army. Use the fleet to delay time and restore the Tianhu Fortress cannons and formations. Such three rotational tactics can cause major damage to our army, and even seize a large amount of equipment from our army. These equipment can bring them strong combat power. Therefore, our army is getting weaker and weaker as they fight, and they are getting stronger and stronger. Even if our army gives them the same killing, they still have a large number of troops to replenish, but our army has no more reinforcements to rely on. In this case, the one who does not support the last one will definitely be our army."
"At present, the total strength of our army is only two-thirds of the before the war begins. There are only two thousand frontier groups. During the five months of battle, the Yanhuang tribe lost enough troops to the 400 frontier groups. However, their total strength is still large. According to my estimate, they still have at least six hundred frontier groups, and they still have equipment for more than five hundred frontier groups to supplement. If they have sufficient reserve troops, their total strength may reach more than one thousand one hundred frontier groups. This is not the equipment seized by our army in future battles. To attack fortresses like Storm Fortress, our army's strength is two to one compared to them. Such a ratio of troops is not enough to win the final victory of our army."
All the generals nodded in recognition of Tian Luo's loyal analysis. They already had a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Yanhuang clan. Relying on the firepower of the fortress, the Yanhuang clan only had twice the force of troops than the opponent. Even if they could win in the end, I am afraid that not many people could survive to the end.
Tianhu Tiehai asked: "The loyal opinion is very correct, so what are the suggestions for loyalty?" "I have no other way except to go out to fight space wars with them. Now, in the end, it is to fight for consumption. After all, it is to consume all their troops, and we will win."
Yes, it's better to use the consumption move, but the problem is that it's not that the Tianhu Army is going to fight the attrition war now, but the Yanhuang clan is going to fight the attrition war. The Yanhuang clan dispatched heavy troops to defend the entrances and exits of the fortress. If the Yanhuang clan fleet is not destroyed, it is absolutely impossible to concentrate firepower to break the entrances and exits of the fortress. All the generals and generals are helpless, but what can I do? The war is not transferred because of personal wishes.
When the entrance and exit of the fortress were fully exposed in front of the artillery fire of the Tianhu Army, the Yanhuang clan indeed gathered a cluster of troops to defend the front. Facing the fleet of the sixty fronts of the army, if they want to send small troops to carry out key attacks or carry out landing operations, it is simply a joke. If the Yanhuang clan's defensive fleet cannot be defeated, it is impossible to attack the entrance and exit of the fortress. There is no other way, let's fight. Now, it is the last moment, and it depends on who can hold on to the end.
The Yanhuang clan had no way to retreat, and the Tianhu Army had no way to retreat, so both sides had to fight to the death. The huge fleet of the 120 fronts army groups launched a fierce battle in front of the fortress. Because the Yanhuang clan fleet blocked the guns of the Tianhu Fortress cannon, the Tianhu Fortress cannon could no longer attack. Therefore, the only thing both sides could rely on was the artillery fire on their own warships. As for the floating turrets in the fortress, after more than five months of battle, more than one billion floating turrets had been lost, and there were only 10 or 20 million left. What was this little artillery fire in front of hundreds of millions of warship main guns?
The warships were blown up one by one and turned into huge fireworks, including the Yanhuang clan and the Tianhu army. The warships on both sides suffered shocking losses. The battlefield became a flesh-and-blood mill, and the battleships on both sides were worn out. The flesh and blood and life of the soldiers on both sides had never been so cheap, because tens of millions of lives were sent to the grave every second.
The commanders of both sides were calculating the strength of their own hands and were thinking about whether there was a tactic that could be caused by one blow. However, it was a pity that because the commanders of both sides were opponents of the same level, such an opponent would not give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of. This is also the commander's distress. When encountering a commander at the same level, you have to fight for nothing except your own strength. Don't pin your hopes on the opponent's mistakes, which is extremely unrealistic.
The eight clusters of the Yanhuang clan have been replenished many times, and there are still sufficient troops now. However, the casualties of soldiers have reached more than ten trillion, and basically all are soldiers of the affiliated races. There are not many casualties among the Yanhuang clan, the natural god clan, the witch clan and other tribes. So far, there are no more than 50,000 people. However, such casualties are enough to make Sun Tiejian tremble in his heart. The casualties are too great. Sun Tiejian has been leading the army for so many years and has not tried such a large casualties. It is obvious that this is not the final number of casualties. In future battles, the casualties will be even greater.
