The Nornos army had attacked the Lingying Alliance, and the news had caught Kou Qian and the others a little off guard. However, the Military Committee quickly reacted, on the one hand, let the decision-making committee members lead troops to reinforce the front line, and on the other hand, let the political commissars arrange manpower to send various supplies to the front line.

"The war is about to begin!" Kou Qian's eyes were like flames, and he muttered to himself, "I will definitely not let these aliens take another half step!"

The Northwest Watch River is the dividing line of the buffer zone, and across the Watch River, there are a total of twenty-eight towns on the side of the Lingying Alliance, and the residents of all sizes have been evacuated to the rear, and only the army is stationed there.

Among the twenty-eight towns, the closest to the Shouwang River is a medium-sized town called Yongcheng, which was originally the center of a small and medium-sized force, and after the overseas forces invaded Ling Yingzhou, this small and medium-sized force chose to join the Ling Ying Alliance, and at the same time evacuated all the people in the force to the rear. And this force itself still has some soldiers stationed here.

Stationed in Yong'an was a whole division of troops, and it was also a well-equipped and well-trained veteran. The division commander was a brave and warlike general of the Rongshan Empire, named Zeng Hao.

"Report to Division Commander Zeng, Bian Cheng Headquarters called, saying that the soldiers of the Nornos army are blocking with all their might, and the large army will be reinforced soon." An intelligence soldier reported to Zeng Hao and said: "Chairman Kou also said that he is only allowed to defend the city, and he is not allowed to take the initiative to attack, and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"

Zeng Hao stood on top of Yong'an City, holding a pair of binoculars and looking ahead, and at the position near the Shouwang River, he could already faintly see some subtle shadows trembling. After Zeng Hao heard the intelligence soldier's words, he waved his hand to signal that he understood.

When the first reconnaissance plane notified the enemy of the attack in the rear, the other had already told Zeng Hao in Yong'an City the information. Zeng Hao was also prepared at the first time, waiting for the enemy's attack at any time.

"Blocking...... Are you sure you can stop it? Zeng Hao's eyebrows were tightly knit with worry. He knew that the so-called large troops were basically recruits, and they had never even been on the battlefield, and after they joined the Lingying Alliance, they were only temporarily pulled up and trained for a month, Zeng Hao could hardly imagine how much combat power they had.

"Division commander, the five lines of defense outside Yong'an City have all been arranged, waiting for instructions at any time!" Another soldier came over and saluted Zeng Hao and said, "But is it really good for the division commander to do this, the headquarters instructed us to defend the city, but we set up a defensive line outside the city."

This soldier is the commander of the first regiment of the Yong'an City Garrison Division, and is an officer of the original Yong'an City forces, and after the Yong'an City forces joined the Ling Ying Ling League, he was also ordered to be stationed here.

"Of course, the order of the headquarters is for us to defend Yong'an City, but if we simply defend the city, we will definitely not be able to hold it for long!" Zeng Hao stared into the distance with a telescope from time to time, and said: "The main force of Nornos is the rat people, and the city wall is not much of an obstacle for them, and the only thing we can defeat them is by quoting guns. No matter how smart the rat people are, their intelligence is impossible to be higher than that of humans, and in the same way, for the modern weapon of guns, we humans are definitely no less mastered than the rat people. ”

The commander of the first regiment nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and set up the third line of defense now, the enemy is estimated to be attacking!"

Outside of Yong'an City, there is a flat ground with no terrain to defend. Therefore, the Yongan garrison division dug a lot of trenches outside Yong'an City, and in addition, many traps were set up outside the trenches.

Zeng Hao had fought with the nezumi when he was in the Abyss Forest, and he knew that the nezumi were very good at dodging bullets, and when they fought against them, they were often quick to rush over and slaughter humans with their fangs and claws. There are two ways to fight, one is melee and the other is long-range. In long-range combat, the enemy is pinned down with guns, and then the nimble nezumi rush on the side, dodging the cannonballs and inserting into the enemy army, slaughtering them.

Previously, when the 'Rat Extermination' army just invaded the Abyss Forest, it was almost defeated by the rat man's combat method, and then the 'Rat Exterminator' army changed its combat method and did not collide with the rat man. At that time, the 'rat exterminator' army adopted the method of 'slow attack and slow advance', that is, the large army would not rush straight through, but dug trenches and set traps everywhere it went. Trenches are used to defend against Nezumen's meta-range attacks, and Traps are used to prevent Nezumen's melee attacks. And the 'Rat' army used this method to knock down the Abyss Forest step by step, but it took nearly two years before and after, and finally let the rat people escape, so this set of tactics has also been criticized by the world.

However, Zeng Hao felt that the method of 'slow attack and slow advance' was indeed a bit slow to fight the ratmen in the Abyss Forest, but it was the best to use it for defense. Now that the Lingying Alliance is going to fight a protracted war with the Nornos army, then it has to use this method to defend.

Soon after, Zeng Hao observed through his binoculars that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and he immediately asked the soldiers of the first line of defense to be fully prepared to attack as soon as the enemy army reached the range of the attack.

Garrisoned in the first line of defense was the 2nd Regiment of the Garrison Division, whose commander was a young man from the United States of Dawn named Li Yuan. Not only did he come to the United States of Dawn, but he also came from Yuancheng. He was a surviving child under the age of ten when Yuancheng was first established, and settled in Yuancheng under the leadership of his father. Later, the establishment of the Yuan State also gave Li Yuan a sense of belonging, originally he was not called Li Yuan, but his father helped him change it after the establishment of the Yuan State. Therefore, Li Yuan has an irrepressible love for the Yuan Kingdom, for the Dawning United States, and even for Ling Yingzhou.

Compared with Lin Yue's generation, Li Yuan's generation is more able to adapt to the world. When he just crossed over, Li Yuan was only nine years old, and now, he is twenty-one years old. The experience of these twelve years has made Li Yuan grow up. He received military education in the Yuan Dynasty since he was a child, and he was the first of his age to hold the position of regiment commander, and all of this relied on his strength.

"Commander, the enemy has entered the attack range!" In the first line of defense, the soldiers of the second regiment asked Li Yuan for instructions: "Do you want to attack?"

Li Yuan glanced at it with a telescope and found that the black pressure on the rat people was indeed surging over quickly.

"Everyone is ready for battle, don't move for the time being, and in addition, the artillery company is also ready to attack!" Li Yuan did not immediately give the order to attack, but waited quietly. The people around couldn't help but feel a little anxious when they saw that Li Yuan had not given the order for a long time. But in a hurry to summon the call, they still waited for Li Yuan's order with guns in their arms.

Through the field of vision of Li Yuan's telescope, it is not difficult to find that on the road leading to Yong'an City, there is an inconspicuous wooden stick inserted in a section of the road, and it is somewhat different with the length of the wooden stick. This was arranged by Li Yuan to be planted on the road, so that Li Yuan could judge the distance and direction during the battle.

When the army of rat people was only 250 meters away from the first line of defense, Li Yuan shouted lightly: "Artillery company attack!"

The signal soldier standing next to Li Yuan immediately gave an order by radio, and then more than 100 light mortars of the artillery company bombarded out, and the artillery fire covered the nezumi troops in advance of the Nornos army.

Then Li Yuan gave another order and said: "The first battalion will carry out a comprehensive coverage attack, the second battalion will carry out a targeted coverage attack, and the third battalion will attack freely!"

With Li Yuan's order, countless bullets flew out, covering the entire advance force of the rat people. A battalion full coverage attack refers to an attack against all nezumi units under artillery fire; The second battalion's targeted attack means that once the nezumi in any position dodges the all-out attack of the first battalion, all the firepower of the second battalion will immediately cover the past. This is a combat method formulated due to the characteristics of the nezumi, thinking that the nezumi are too agile to easily dodge the bullets and rush over, and the targeted fire coverage reduces the occurrence of this situation; The free attack of the three battalions is also formulated for the characteristics of the nezumi, the three battalions can cooperate with the comprehensive coverage of the first battalion on the one hand, and the second battalion on the other hand, and once the nezumi really rush over the fire, they can also engage in melee combat with the nezumi.

Under the vitality of the cannonballs and bullets, the advance of the advance troops was interrupted, and all the nezumi could only crawl down to reduce the attack of bullets in order to avoid being attacked. And at this time, the shells of the 2nd Regiment again covered the past.

Before the advance force of the Nezumi army of the Nornos army approached, more than 300 nezumi were killed and wounded!
