After running for more than 200 kilometers, the 200,000-strong armored demon army rushed to the edge of the Wei River. Only less than 100,000 people survived...
Such a loss shocked the demon abyss lord Sagusdu.
Ever since the demon army emerged from the periphery of the Disaster Territory, they have been attacking cities and territories in the past two years. The demon knights and winged demon vanguards may still have suffered some losses, but the ground army has been unstoppable. Taixia's army has continued to retreat. There are very few contacts on the frontal battlefield. In Taixia's Wuzhou, Zhuzhou, and Yinzhou, there are only a handful of real battles between the demon ground army and the Taixia army. Even if they occur, they are small-scale. , and all the forces that fought against the demon army on the ground were easily crushed to pieces by the demon army.
The demon legion, which is composed entirely of ninth-level warriors, has completely surpassed any existing legion in Taixia in terms of combat power. Even the legions of Taixia's upper four armies are not capable of forming such a legion. Strong troops.
Such a situation made Sagus, the Demon Lord of the Abyss, full of ambitions all the way. In Sagus' view, in this holy war, apart from the knights, Taixia no longer had any power to stop the Demon army. offensive, and once the demon army can gain absolute war advantage on the ground, then even if Taixia's knights can temporarily resist the demon attack, with the defeat of Taixia's ground troops and a large number of people and cities being destroyed The demons attack and plunder, and the threat of the Taixia Knights to the demons will eventually disappear.
Where do the knights come from? The knights come from Taixia's huge population base. What scares the demons most about Taixia is not its existing combat power, but its endless war potential, and Taixia's war Where does potential come from. It comes from the population resources of Taixia.
Once the demons can use ground troops to dismantle Taixia's population advantage, Taixia's knights will eventually become a rootless tree. There is a shortage of successors, one is missing and the other is missing. In the end, the entire Taixia will be completely destroyed by the demons in this holy war, and the new world that the demons have been waiting for will come.
This is the holy war strategy of the Demon Clan high-level officials against Taixia, and it is also the significance of the Demon Clan's ninth-level legion - to use the Demon Clan's super-powerful ground army to disintegrate Taixia's population advantage in the shortest possible time and completely shake Taixia's foundation and ability to produce knights. soil.
Before the Holy War, the top leaders of the Demon Clan had made careful calculations and came to the conclusion that once the Demon Clan could control Taixia's population size to less than half of its current level, then. With this population base, the rate at which Taixia produces knights will not be able to keep up with the rate at which Taixia knights are consumed on the battlefield. At that time, the entire Taixia will become weaker and weaker, with fewer and fewer knights, and will eventually be destroyed. The demon clan is destroyed.
The situation in Taixia's Yezhou, Wuzhou, Zhuzhou, and Yinzhou has completely confirmed the expectations of the demon clan's senior leaders for this holy war - as long as the demon clan's knights can hold back the Taixia knights, the demon clan's ninth-level legion will be defeated. Using the strategy of blitzkrieg, we can complete the attack, plunder and occupation of Taixia's population and cities in the shortest possible time. It is precisely on the basis of the large number of Chinese people and cities that the demons have plundered that the Tongtian Empire supported by the demons can appear in the Eastern Continent in the shortest time. It will gradually compete with Taixia and become a force on the side of the demons.
Abyss Lord Sagus thought that the ground army of the demons would be completely invincible in this holy war and would not encounter any opponents or challenges. However, he did not expect that the demon army had just captured the four states of Taixia. Finally, on the banks of the Weishui River, the demon clan's ground forces were hit hard by Taixia and were unable to find their way to the north.
A journey of more than 200 kilometers. Without even a single figure being seen, the 200,000-strong armored demon army was invincible. Half of the warriors fell on this road.
Before the war, the top leaders of the demon clan had already assessed the impact of Taixia's industrial power and possible new weapons on this holy war. However, under the conditions at that time, the top leaders of the Demon Tribe all agreed that given the scarcity and expensiveness of alchemy bombs, the weapon Taixia could rely on its own industrial power to pose the greatest threat to the Demon Tribe's ground forces was mainly white phosphorus gel. Incendiary bombs, in the contest between the demons and Taixia in the Earth Yuan Realm, Taixia has even come up with a miniaturized weapon that can be carried by individual soldiers, including white phosphorus gel bombs, and put it into the battlefield for actual combat testing. In the future, Taixia will have Such weapons may be equipped on a "large scale" with Taixia troops.
But Taixia's so-called "large scale" is only relative to the previous use of white phosphorus gel bombs. During the last holy war, Taixia's white phosphorus gel bombs were mainly used by airship troops and ground troops. The situation is extremely rare. After careful evaluation of the manufacturing process of white phosphorus gel bombs and a small amount of miniaturized white phosphorus gel bombs seized in the Diyuan Realm, the senior leaders of the demon clan and a group of elites agreed that even Taixia can make small However, due to the constraints of the production process, manufacturing materials and cost of white phosphorus gel bombs, Taixia's ground troops cannot truly equip them on a large scale. Even if they can be equipped with white phosphorus gel bombs, I am afraid that only officers can have this qualification, and there will definitely not be many. Given the size of Taixia's army, it is already enough for every officer above level six soldiers to carry two white phosphorus gel bombs. The limit of Taixia's industrial capabilities.
Taixia's white phosphorus gel bombs will bring trouble to the demon ground army, but it is just trouble. In front of the overwhelming army composed of ninth-level demon warriors, the little white phosphorus equipped by a few officers in the Taixia army Gel bombs, what’s the use
Candle oil only appeared after the Holy War, so the top brass and elites of the Demon Tribe did not expect that the newly emerged candle oil weapon would cause the Demon Tribe's ground troops to suffer a bloody blow.
Looking at the balls of fire that appeared on the ground from time to time, Abyss Lord Sagus understood one thing instantly - the power of these new weapons produced by Taixia was beyond imagination, and Taixia seemed to be able to use them very easily. Equip troops with it in large numbers.
In anger, the Abyss Lord Sagus crushed the armrest of his throne...
If Sagus knew how many explosive mines Taixia's millions of engineer corps had planted on both sides of the Wei River and in the Helan Mountains in the past two months, I'm afraid he would be even more shocked...
No matter whether the battle in the sky or on the ground is still going on, the first head-on collision between the demons and the Taixia army will not stop so easily. The armored demons who rushed to the Weishui River "surviving the disaster" will The soldier threw himself into the cold Wei River without hesitation and swam towards the other side.
The armored demons are the amphibious troops of the demons. Not only are they superior in combat on land, but all armored demons have good water resistance. Although the Wei River is wide, it cannot stop the army of armored demons...
But are these the only cards Taixia has
The small setback of the ground troops did not make the demon commander retreat. Under the dark metal mask, the will-o'-the-wisps in the eyes of the abyss lord Sagus danced. With a wave of his hand, more than 20,000 winged demon warriors appeared like a dark cloud. The demon army flew out and flew towards the Wei River... (.)
