The bombardment by Lipei's army was clearly much more restrained, but it also became significantly more lethal.
If the previous bombardment from Lipei's army was like a mad dog, recklessly shelling without any regard for cost, now it's akin to a falcon, ensuring significant damage once a target is locked on.
Thanks to the technological level of the artillery and the surveying of Lipei's surroundings, even with precision strikes, Lipei's army's artillery could achieve relatively ideal targets.
However, for an army of 200,000 troops, such bombardment was still somewhat inadequate. After all, Lipei had only so many soldiers, and even if the number of artillery pieces increased, there would be no one to operate them.
The 200,000-strong Aud Army used civilians as cover, spreading out over a frontline several dozen kilometers long, steadily advancing. Though important targets were occasionally bombarded, the main force continued to progress steadily.
