Chapter 22: Collision Head-on
Peaceful early morning.
A ray of dawn in the east shone on the slowly flowing muddy river, as if sprinkled with a faint layer of gold.
On the banks of the Muddy River, the gunfire that had been sounding all night finally calmed down. The flames of the night had been extinguished, and only wisps of green smoke were left to rise. The wounded soldiers, who had been wailing for half the night, did not move, and did not know whether they would fall asleep in pain or die in peace.
But the tranquility will soon be shattered, and on a new day, the war continues.
There was a crisp snap, the armrest of the seat was slapped off with a palm, and Duke. Barry stood up from his chair suddenly, "You must take the initiative to fight over, sit back and wait until you will be eaten by Huaxia Dragon City and Phoenix City sooner or later, if you two don't move, my Gate of Heaven will go through alone." ”
Duke. Barry's face was full of sinister anger, and his original ornate bishop's robe was tattered and stained with blood. Anger makes Duke. Barry abandoned his disguise and returned to his true nature, and instead of the benevolent, holy Bishop of the Holy See, he stood in front of him, but the violent mercenary known as the Ghoul.
Duke. Barry couldn't help but be angry. Heaven's Gate was twice targeted by Dragon City and Phoenix City during the first day of battle, with more than 20,000 soldiers and Evolvers killed, the few heavy weapons destroyed, and the barracks nearly razed.
In the first battle, the direct loss of Heaven's Gate reached almost half, and the overall strength slipped to the weakest of the super forces. If it weren't for the existence of second-order powerhouses like him and Baili Wuxian, as well as super combat power like the Heavenly Punishment Knights, I am afraid that they would not be qualified as super forces.
An Jiacheng's face was gloomy and he didn't speak. On the surface, the losses of Shun'an Commercial Bank were much smaller than those of the Gate of Heaven, but the losses were all elites and hole cards, the armored forces were almost completely wiped out, the ten laser cannons were all destroyed, and Anjiacheng's heart was also dripping blood.
Especially the laser cannon, even if the manufacturing technology has been mastered, but under the conditions of the last days, some high-tech materials and core components cannot be manufactured in batches at all, and every laser cannon has exhausted its efforts.
Duke. Barry and Angar had eyes on Dylan's face. On the first day of the Illuminati battle, Herman lost only one second-order powerhouse, the smallest of the three sides. Moreover, the regular troops were almost not involved in the battle, and only at the last moment did the infantry be dispatched to rescue the Gate of Heaven, and the armies of Dragon City and Phoenix City withdrew directly without making contact with the forces of the Illuminati.
Dylan looked at Anjiacheng and Duke calmly, "If you two have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
An Jiacheng pondered for a moment and said: "Yesterday's battle against the Gate of Heaven suffered heavy losses, and the strategy of besieging from all sides is no longer feasible, so the only way left for today is to take the initiative and attack head-on. ”
Dylan nodded and did not object.
An Jiacheng continued, "We attacked the middle lane with three sides, and the Dawning City army attacked the flanks as a surprise soldier. The armored forces of our firm are no longer able to fight, so they can only ask Elder Dylan's Bright Army to take on the task of attacking the fortifications in the center. ”
"Please rest assured, Elder Dylan, the armies of our two families are on the flanks of the Bright Army, and they will never be half a step behind." An Jiacheng was worried that Dylan would not agree, so he immediately added.
"Okay, then my Illuminati will serve as the middle lane, and I hope the two of you will not break their promises and retreat."
No one expected Dylan to agree so happily.
In fact, Dylan had already seen that if the Illuminati did not go all out, relying on the power of the Shun An Firm and the Gates of Heaven, there was no hope of victory in this war. And this war must be won by the Illuminati!
......
Tall steel warriors were lined up, and the sunlight shone on the silvery metal exoskeleton armor, reflecting a blinding light.
The 10,000 fully equipped Bright Army spread across the battlefield, and in the distance, there was no border in sight.
It's an army of steel.
A whining horn sounded.
The army of steel began to move, running, huge metal soles neatly stomping on the ground, making a rumbling sound, and the whole earth shook.
It was an unstoppable torrent of steel, crushing everything that stood in its way.
This is a ferocious and brutal steel dragon that tears apart all creatures that dare to provoke.
Taken by the powerful pressure of the Bright Army's charge, as soon as it entered the firing range, the light and heavy firepower of the Dragon City defense line rang out, and countless bullets and shells shot towards the torrent of steel that charged.
The bullet hit the exoskeleton armor and sent out countless sparks, but it couldn't stop the charge of the Bright Army soldiers.
The cannonballs fell in the ranks of the charge, like throwing a handful of stones into the flowing water, causing countless ripples. Several fighters around the shell landing point fell, and those behind quickly replenished, still in a neat queue of charges.
The bullets and cannonballs fired at the charging Bright Army were like stones thrown at the dragon, and they might be able to knock down a few dragon scales, but they couldn't stop the charge of the steel dragon.
The charging Bright Army began to counterattack, and thousands of * played an airtight barrage, so that the firepower on the Dragon City defense line could not raise its head. Hundreds of rockets. The bullet fell into the defensive line in Dragon City, and the flames of the explosion flooded the entire defensive line.
Almost at a great cost, the charging Bright Army stepped on the first line of defense of Huaxia Dragon City with a devastating momentum.
Neither Yang Zhaohui nor Chi Hua expected that Bright Heaven's counterattack would come so quickly and violently. Even with Zhu Bingtian's previous experience, he didn't expect that the charging Bright Army Formation would be so terrifying.
Chi Hua even felt a little afraid, if it weren't for the fact that the terrain of the valley was not conducive to the launch of the Guangming Army and the night sneak attack of the Phoenix Independent Brigade, if they met on the frontal battlefield, the tens of thousands of people in the valley at that time would have no way out.
On the left and right flanks of the 10,000 Bright Army, the 10,000 white-robed Heavenly Gate Army and the 10,000 elite Shun'an Merchant Army were slightly half a step behind the Bright Army, and the 30,000 troops simultaneously launched a charge towards the Dragon City defense line.
The 10,000 troops of Dawning City circled in an arc, bypassing the frontal defense line of Dragon City, and were rushing towards the military camps of Huaxia Dragon City and Phoenix City from the flanks.
Because Yang Zhaohui did not expect that Bright Heaven would directly launch a full-army charge without any temptation, Huaxia Dragon City only deployed two regiments of more than 2,000 troops on the first line of defense. Huaxia Dragon City didn't even have time to reinforce, and the first line of defense was broken through in an instant, and most of the soldiers were killed.
In response to the all-army charge of Bright Heaven, Huaxia Dragon City urgently reinforced the second line of defense, and the armored division of Dragon City and the armored brigade of Phoenix City were all transferred to the second line of defense.
The camp forces in Phoenix took the initiative to snipe the troops in Dawning City halfway.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. In the face of the frontal charge of the Bright Heaven, Huaxia Dragon City was unwilling to retreat and evade. Yang Zhaohui has accumulated a large number of troops and heavy firepower in the frontal defense line, and Huaxia Dragon City has to choose to carry it head-on.
An even more violent and tragic collision took place.
The Bright Army is still charging with the whole army, and the torrent of steel is charging against the artillery fire of Huaxia Dragon City.
The Dragon City defense line opened fire at the same time with light and heavy machine guns, and the dense and ferocious fire was fired at the soldiers in the front row, dozens of bullets hit the same position, bursting the armor, shooting through the body, and the rows of Guangming Army soldiers fell.
The ferocious fire of the machine guns could not stop the charge of the Bright Army, and a row rushed up after falling into a row.
The Bright Army's return fire was equally fierce, and the dense barrage covered the entire Dragon City defense line, and the outcropping machine gunners were headshot one after another.
Machine guns on both sides exchanged fires, bullets rained down, and whizzing bullets flew across the battlefield, and countless soldiers died under the rain of bullets every minute and every second.
Only with the special favor of Lady Luck can it be possible to survive on this battlefield where bullets are raining.
The armored division of Dragon City and the armored brigade of Phoenix City were all placed behind the defensive line, and the remaining more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles were the main force that carried the charge of the Guangming Army head-on.
Dense shells fell into the charging Bright Army's formation, and one by one the iron warriors were thrown into the air by the explosion, as if stirring up countless splashes on the surface of the river, and the water splashed and the surface of the river seemed to boil.
Behind the armored units, the artillery units of Dragon City fired countless shells into the charging formation.
A 152 mm*. shell exploded in the Bright Army, and the corpses were blown to pieces within a radius of 10 meters from the shell's landing point, and most of the soldiers within 50 meters of the landing point were shocked to death. A large-caliber gun, rocket. The cannon was like a boulder in the river.
The armored forces and artillery units of Dragon City and Phoenix City finally caused huge damage to the Bright Army, and now the charging steel dragon has been covered in bruises, and a large blank space has appeared in the charging army formation.
But the huge casualties still did not stop the pace of the Bright Army's charge, and the Bright Army rushed forward in the face of artillery fire.
After the Guangming Army, the artillery units of the Shun'an Trading House and the Illuminati began to return fire fiercely, and countless shells smashed into the artillery positions of Longcheng.
The soldiers of the Bright Army rushed into the defense line of Dragon City under artillery fire, and a tragic white-knuckle battle unfolded in an instant.
The long knives and battle axes on the exoskeleton armor have long been removed, and the soldiers of the Bright Army line up in a neat formation and wave their blades at the same time, and attacking in a queue is the most effective way to kill in cold weapon warfare.
As soon as a Dragon City warrior stabbed the bayonet in his hand into the enemy's abdomen through the gap in the armor of the exoskeleton, the left and right battle axes slashed at his body at the same time.
The same scene was repeated on the battlefield, and the well-trained soldiers of Dragon City were no match for the soldiers of the Bright Army in individual combat.
On the entire defense line, the soldiers of Longcheng appeared to be at ease in the fight between the left and right flanks and the Shun'an Trading House and the Heaven's Gate army, killing and injuring a large number of soldiers on the other side. However, in the confrontation between the middle lane and the soldiers of the Bright Army, they retreated step by step, and the entire defense line was suppressed into a "V" sub-shape, which could be broken through at any time.
Dragon City's special operations troops rushed forward, countless abilities smashed into the arrows of the Bright Army's charge, and one by one the transformed evolutionaries slaughtered into the Bright Army, tearing and smashing the Iron Warriors one by one, and beating the Bright Army soldiers who broke through the defense line back.
But this advantage only lasted for a moment, and the three hundred Bright Special Operations Regiment pounced and collided head-on with the special operations forces in Dragon City.
The two major knights, the Knights of the Holy Sword and the Knights of the Round Table, coordinated with the charging Light Army to kill in from the left and right, and the fierce attack of the Evolver instantly cut through the defense line of Dragon City.
