Chapter 611: Brutal Battle
Inspired by West, the soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire were united and all burst out with a fierce fighting spirit of seeing death as the way home.
However, no matter how loud the slogans were and how high the morale was, it could not change the huge gap in strength between the Heavenly Soul Army and the Sun and Moon Soul Mentor Corps.
All members of the Sun and Moon Soul Mentor Corps were equipped with soul guides, and the lowest level among them was a level 6 soul guide.
In contrast, the soul master army formed by West had the highest soul power of only a four-ring soul master, which was not even as good as the average level of the Sun and Moon Soul Mentor Corps.
When they entered the attack range, the Soul Mentor Corps immediately took action.
Each soul guide could use two or three soul guide weapons at the same time. The thousand-man soul guide corps attacked at the same time, and nearly three thousand attack points were constantly spraying artillery fire at the Heavenly Soul Empire's army.
Countless soul guide rays and soul guide cannons raged across the sky, causing a large energy storm in the sky.
At this time, the firepower deployment of the Sun and Moon Soul Mentor Corps was mainly soul guide cannons, supplemented by soul guide rays.
Although the accuracy, penetration and power of soul-guided rays are higher than those of soul-guided cannons, they are far from comparable to soul-guided cannons in terms of attack distance.
Therefore, long-range attacks are still mainly based on soul-guided cannons. Once an enemy advances to a certain range, it will face soul-guided ray sweeps.
Although the soul master army is large in number, it cannot stop the dense and rain-like attacks of the Sun and Moon Soul Master Corps.
Soul-guided cannons and soul-guided rays complement each other. The barrier held up by the defensive soul masters is instantly broken. The first to bear the brunt is the soul master army. Beams of light fall from the sky and fall into the army.
The originally neat soul master army instantly became a mess. Many soul masters were killed on the spot before they even launched their soul skills. A puff of blood mist exploded.
For a while, screams were heard incessantly. With a huge gap in strength, there was no room for resistance at all. For them, the attack of soul-guided weapons was a death sentence.
Large numbers of soul masters fell to the ground. The soul master corps of nearly 2,000 people did not even touch the edge of the soul guide group, and the casualties of the soldiers exceeded two-thirds.
Then, the ordinary soldiers suffered. They could not withstand the bombardment of soul guide weapons at all. In an instant, blood splattered and corpses were everywhere.
The smell of blood and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air. Dozens of soul masters died almost every second. The casualties of the Tianhun soul master corps increased linearly under the crushing of soul guide weapons.
The attack of the Sun and Moon Soul Guide Corps continued, covering the Tianhun Corps like an airtight net. They wanted to destroy the Tianhun Corps in the shortest time.
In the sky, various light balls shone, illuminating half of the sky. Every shell or beam would harvest dozens of lives. This was a war that was completely above the Tianhun Empire.
On the battlefield, the Tianhun Corps was beaten back step by step and collapsed. The soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire had no ability to fight back at all. They could only fall down one after another like cutting wheat.
In terms of attack distance, the advantage of soul guides is too great.
Although West had expected this scene, it was also a plan he personally decided to use these soldiers as cannon fodder to attract firepower and consume the soul guide group's soul power.
But it would be a lie to say that there was no ripple in his heart. Even if there were no emotional factors, these people were all trained by the Heavenly Soul Empire with real money.
But this is war!
There is no mercy and compassion, only victory and defeat.
Because the nature of war is cruel.
Although the human wave tactic is cruel, it is the only place where the Heavenly Soul Corps can show its value now.
Whether from the perspective of the battle situation or other aspects, before the soul masters of the Body Sect come on the field, the Heavenly Soul Corps can advance an inch and consume a point of the soul guide group's soul power, which will increase the chance of winning.
Without soul power, even the most sophisticated soul guides are just decorations.
In order to ensure that the previous preparations would not fail, no matter how great the sacrifice, they had to bite the bullet and fight on.
The dead soldiers...
The Heavenly Soul Empire will remember their dedication.
West clenched his fists, and the guilt in his eyes was replaced by coldness.
"Order, keep moving forward... push forward!"
...
...
The flames were raging, and the smoke was filled with dust.
Hundreds of shells flew through the air at lightning speed, and each shell that fell represented the death of hundreds of people.
Although the morale of the Heavenly Soul Army was high at the moment, it lacked real experience after all, not to mention that at this moment of life and death, it was even more nervous and panicked, and had no power to resist.
Watching the brothers around him blown to pieces one by one...
So, under the overlapping emotions of grief, anger and fear, the morale of the Heavenly Soul Army, which was originally high, collapsed to the bottom in an instant. Some were even scared to the point of weakness and turned to flee.
However, how could the attack of the soul guide be so easy to avoid? Amid the roar of the soul guide, the beams of light were like locusts passing through, densely covering the entire sky.
"Go forward, all of you!"
"Those who escape from the battlefield will be killed without mercy!"
"Go back to me, who allowed you to retreat?"
The army leaders shouted.
Trying to save the defeat, unfortunately, this situation is not the only one. And these soldiers have fallen into despair, how can they continue to obey orders?
They rushed out desperately, trying to break out of the enemy's firepower encirclement and stay away from this nightmare battlefield.
So, under the impact of the fleeing soldiers, the complete army formation in the rear began to be in chaos and became increasingly difficult to stabilize. The trend of deserters became more and more intense, and it was only a matter of time before the whole army was defeated.
Even if the Soul Master Corps used those low-consumption soul guides, maintaining such a large range of firepower output would naturally consume a lot of soul power.
This is why Wester continued to order the Heavenly Soul soldiers to advance when he knew that ordinary legions had no chance of winning against soul guides.
As time went on, the Heavenly Soul Corps of nearly 10,000 people, after experiencing rounds of baptism by soul guide rays and soul guide cannons, now only had less than 3,000 remnants.
But correspondingly, the soul guide cannons and soul guide rays sprayed by the Sun and Moon Soul Master Corps to the Heavenly Soul Corps were gradually weakening. It seemed that soul power could no longer sustain the consumption of soul guides.
Wester realized that the opportunity had come.
"Your Majesty, the main body. The enemy's firepower is insufficient."
Wester quickly came to the main body Douluo Du Bu Si. "The Heavenly Soul Corps is no longer able to fight. Please lead the strong men of the Body Sect to join the battle immediately and strangle the enemy!"
Du Bu Si narrowed his eyes slightly, "Okay!"
He agreed very readily.
The Body Sect was gathering their strength and waiting for this moment. Even if West didn't come to remind him, he couldn't sit still.
