After the birdmen of the Chidong Empire flew back after conducting reconnaissance, the large troops immediately gathered and moved towards the defense line. In this way, Diao Si ordered the wounded soldiers there to evacuate first, because they were the most difficult team to evacuate.
The first ones to appear were some lizard-like sea beasts that were not too big. They looked similar to the sea beast riding pets, but their four legs were more developed, and they were as tall as kangaroo legs. It is obvious that their legs are very powerful and they can walk very flexibly and very fast.
They suddenly swarmed to a place not far outside the firing range of the defense line and stopped, and then the Chidong Empire's army behind them slowly dragged out several large throwing machines.
It was obvious that those lizard monsters were the vanguard. They went there first to ensure that the throwing machines behind them could arrive safely. From this, it seemed that the troops of the Chidong Empire still had a certain strategic mind.
This kind of throwing machine is different from those of the Blazing Empire or even the Empire of Light, but the attack effect should be similar. So after seeing them, Diao Si immediately ordered everyone to hide behind the city wall, and continued to let the relatively weak archer team leave first.
They brought a lot of throwing machines, and with the powerful team behind them, it can be seen that they brought troops here today not only to defend a place like Dongjiang, but also to attack the entire Blazing Empire.
The Chidong Empire's team did not send envoys to the Dongjiang team's defense line. They directly operated the throwing machines and fired at the city wall of the defense line. The explosive power of their cannonballs seems to be even more powerful than the original cannonballs of the Blazing Empire, but it is incomparable to the current cannonballs of the Blazing Empire.
Facing their throwing attacks, Diao Si was already prepared. He asked all the guards to guard around him, and then he used the power of earth magic to push away the shells that hit them. In this way, although the Chidong Empire quickly blasted the city wall full of holes, there were basically no casualties among the soldiers on Diao Si's side.
It was also because the city wall had been lightly bombed before and had not been completely repaired, and the Chidong Empire's artillery shells were indeed powerful, so their city wall quickly and slowly collapsed.
The defenders on the city wall saw that the city wall was beaten into a pile of stones. Naturally, they became anxious and began to understand the reason why Diao Si asked them to retreat. If they stayed here, they would be bombarded.
Moreover, the Chidong Empire's team did not stop bombing because of this. They continued to fire cannons. Diao Si felt more and more strenuous before he began to ask the soldiers to evacuate the line of defense.
After watching them evacuate like this, the Chidong Empire continued to bombard for a while, and then those extremely fast lizard monsters swarmed over and quickly climbed to the broken city wall. Some even wanted to attack the defenders of Dongjiang. The army was looking for something to eat, but they were quickly forced back by those golden warriors.
Diao Si continued to organize the retreat, while keeping an eye on the large troops of the Chidong Empire over there, calculating how to better kill them. Because there were too many of them, Diao Si had to be patient and let them reach the defense line as much as possible. In this way, if the mountain collapsed, they would have no way to retreat and the entire army would be destroyed.
Unexpectedly, the generals of the Chidong Empire over there were very cautious. When they were approaching like this, they sent birdmen to understand the situation around here before starting to lead the large troops closer.
"Prepare long-range artillery..." Diao Si began to give the order, and the prepared cannons around him appeared one after another. Then with Diao Si's order, the mountainside behind the Chidong Empire began to explode.
The team in the middle and front part of the Chidong Empire may not know what happened. They are looking anxiously at the logistics troops behind who are being bombarded. Those who are smarter carefully observe the mountains on both sides, thinking that Diao Si must be there. Throwing machines are installed on the mountain.
We can't blame them. How could they have imagined that the range of Diao Si's cannon would be so powerful? So they watched the team behind being blown to pieces and fled towards the entrance of the valley with all their strength. They didn't know. How did Diao Si kill them.
Immediately afterwards, the mountainside on both sides began to be hit by high-explosive artillery shells, and the rocks began to roll down, making the generals of the Chidong Empire team even more nervous and frightened. If they knew how to retreat at this time, they could still save most of the team. of.
Diao Si never imagined that the rocks on the mountainside on both sides would be so strong. In fact, he had already selected some locations that were most likely to cause collapse. After this bombardment continued for a while, the mountainside on one side began to collapse. As a result, the collapse of one side of the mountainside alone had completely sealed the valley entrance on the Chidong Empire side.
The Chidong Empire's team in the valley became even more crowded. In the chaos, the soldiers didn't know how to escape. Big rocks continued to roll down the mountainside and were smashed down mercilessly.
Almost there, Diao Si immediately ordered the row of short-range cannons that had been waiting impatiently to fire a series of fire bombs at the soldiers and sea beasts of the Blazing Empire who were pouring out, causing their front to suddenly become a sea. Sea of fire.
It was so spectacular. The attack power of this artillery shell was such that the academy recruits responsible for calibration and firing could not believe it. The defenders in Eastern Xinjiang were even more amazed and began to observe the gun barrels on those vehicles. They had heard it before in the valley. There was a scream, but I didn't know what it was about.
Looking at the soldiers and sea beasts crowded in the valley, Diao Si even couldn't bear it. Some of them were squeezed like that until their flesh and blood flew everywhere, some were buried by the rocks pouring down from the mountainside, and some hid in the original defensive line of the Eastern Xinjiang defenders, waiting to be gradually bombarded by those cannons. There is no hope of living.
If there were human troops there, Diao Si would choose to stop and let them surrender and go back. But there were not only soldiers there, but also a large number of sea beasts, and Diao Si would never let them go.
The bombing continued like this, and the appearance of the entire valley was completely changed by Diao Si's indiscriminate bombing. Finally, many fast-moving lizard monsters rushed through the sea of fire and headed towards Diao Si's short-range artillery vehicle. come over.
Rather than saying they were resisting, it was better to say that they were just trying to escape, because the generals who commanded them and the commanders of the large armies had already been killed, so what else could they do to resist
In this way, Diao Si ordered the golden light warriors who had been watching the bombing and whose legs were numb to attack to deal with the lizard monster team coming towards them.
Although this team of lizard monsters is not easy to harm the golden warriors in the golden armor, they are still not easy to deal with because they are too fast and their movements are too flexible.
"Attack their legs first!" Diao Si couldn't help but remind the golden warriors again, so that they began to adjust their fighting methods according to Diao Si's reminder. After those lizard monsters had their legs injured, they couldn't run no matter how flexible they were, so they could only stay where they were and wait to die.
The situation was over. No matter how powerful these lizard monsters were, it would be difficult for them to perform in the current formation. So during the encirclement and suppression of those golden light warriors, they were killed one after another, and the rest returned to the original valley. retreated in the direction.
Through the observation of refraction magic, Diao Si finally ordered all the cannons to stop bombarding, because except for the flying birdmen, there was basically no life there, and it would be a waste of shells to fire any more.
Then he led the team of golden warriors back to the entrance of the valley to check the enemy's casualties. However, he could only find the location of the entrance of the valley because the original defense line had been rolled down by the mountain. The rocks are piled high.
"Should we dig out the entrance of this valley again?" some golden warriors asked.
"No, let it remain sealed here." Diao Si replied. He didn't want to dig through this place again, which would prevent harassment from the Chidong Empire. Only when he wanted to capture the Chidong Empire in the future would he consider re-opening this valley.
Only then did the defenders of the Eastern Border begin to cheer. Only then did they understand the important purpose of Diao Si asking them to evacuate the line of defense. Before, they really couldn't imagine that Diao Si could actually bury the entire valley.
Some generals who were dissatisfied with Diao Si because of Lei Ming, including the commander who was placed under house arrest by Lei Ji, also took the initiative to come over to celebrate Diao Si. This is the first time in Eastern Xinjiang that such a powerful enemy army can be wiped out with almost no weapons. (To be continued)
