The marines on the ground were basically Reginord's reserves, plus some left over from the original crippled formation, a total of about 800,000 or so, and now those men were engaged in a fierce battle with Henry Morgan's ground forces, and the two sides were mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

Under these circumstances, air support is very limited, and it is imperative to destroy these stubborn resistance of the remnants of the enemy.

This is a very important feature of modern warfare: the survivability of individual soldiers has been greatly enhanced.

In the previous mode of warfare, the reliance of strength was mainly concentrated on steel and explosives, because the protection ability of ordinary soldiers was weak, so the artillery that could carry out group attacks on soldiers was the king of war, and then the world of fighters, cluster bombs, super bombs to the ground troops, almost drove the soldiers out of the arena of war.

Because of the fragility of survivability and the lack of firepower of weapons, individual soldiers are considered to be eliminated after the era of cold weapons.

But what people didn't expect was that in the environment of the Eden Light network platform, mecha has become the main force on the battlefield that has sprung up.

First of all, the mecha's mobility ability is far better than that of human biological bodies, and the mecha can reach the speed of an off-road truck when running at full strength.

Secondly, the ability of the mecha to carry weapons has also been greatly strengthened, a mecha can carry 6 missiles, a heavy sniper, a rocket launcher, in addition to a few mines, anti-materiel bombs, etc., a mecha is equivalent to a mobile ammunition depot!

The most important thing is the mecha's ability to protect itself. The main reason for the extremely poor survivability of human beings on the battlefield is that the biological structure of the human body is completely unsuitable for the environment of modern warfare: high-kill fragments, high-temperature flames, and high-pressure shock waves! When an artillery shell explodes, even if a small fragment hits any part of the body, the soldier immediately loses his combat capability.

But the mecha is different, its protective armor is resistant to high temperature, impact, drop and pressure, even if a heavy shell explodes nearby, its high temperature, shock wave and splash fragments cannot cause fatal damage to the mecha. And as long as the mecha is not hit in the vital part, it still has a certain combat power!

That's why wars have been fought to the level of high technology they are now, but the soldiers of the Marine War are becoming more and more protagonists on the battlefield.

Further, in future wars, the possible enemies of human beings are robots, and at that time, it will be absolutely impossible for human bodies to confront robots on the battlefield, and the only means that can be taken is mecha, a kind of mecha that is directly controlled by real people.

So in this sense, the current optical network is also a rehearsal version of future wars, and it can also be said to be teaching humans how to fight robot wars.

Mordin understands this very clearly, the only object of air combat is warships, and if you want to rely on air warships to eliminate ground marines, it is basically wishful thinking.

However, the way Reginald had let the troop carriers charge with the battleships was also a great mistake, which led to the destruction of most of his marines in the previous waves of air battles.

Mordin told Jusmin and Henry's air warships to stop supporting the ground, and he wanted to keep the little tail left by Reginod so that he could hold on to it and fight a larger war of annihilation.

Because at this time, the two vanguards on the left and right of Xiao Keshan are rushing to support this side.

Mordin suggested that they could come to a fence point to send reinforcements, and then come back to an ambush!

At this time, Xiao Keshan was also very depressed.

His vanguard force in the center was the most powerful of the three, with a size of 5 million men, and the left and right forces combined were only that many.

In this battle of Motianling, he gave great hope to the love general Reginord, and he hoped that Reginod could quickly take Motianling, and with this battle, the prestige of the southern troops was beaten out to deter the enemy.

What he didn't expect was that after the vanguard army of the middle lane arrived at Motianling, it took less than half an hour, all the battleships were destroyed, and most of the casualties of the marines were killed, and his favorite general, the Reginord silver general who had been with him for several years, actually fell in this battle!

Until now, he had not figured out what had caused the rapid rout of the Middle Route Army.

"Could it be that the enemy is blindly advancing?" Xiao Keshan looked at the summary of battlefield intelligence, frowning and thinking hard.

Reginod is a very experienced general on the battlefield, and he has seen all kinds of battlefield environments, why did he lose so badly?

Could it be that the robbers in the middle are too powerful?

He found it hard to believe that the robbers in the middle of the country would organize an effective army of resistance.

Because the other day, he got the information that there was a young man named Mordin, who was organizing those scattered robbers and bringing them under his command for training.

It's only taken three days, and it takes a lot of time just to figure out the situation of each robber tribe, plus the reorganization, training, and cooperation, not to mention how unruly the robbers are, it will take at least three months just to train them to the point of keeping pace and obeying the unified dispatch.

So he didn't pay any attention to Mordin's situation.

He was convinced that a force of 2 million to 5 million was the ideal unit to sweep away the scattered robbers.

The Hawala Mountains are high and ravines, and such a complex geographical environment is not suitable for large-scale corps operations.

There were less than 1 million Marines left on the Ferris Ridge to resist stubbornly, and he had ordered the two vanguard units on the left and right to quickly march towards the Moonridge in the hope of retrieving the strength of those remnants of the Marines.

And he led the main combat force to speed up the advance, striving to rush to Motianling as soon as possible to participate in the encirclement of those robbers.

At the forefront is Stubbin's 200,000 robot troops!

According to the general combat power statistics, a robot warrior can be worth the combat power of 10 human mechas, so 200,000 robot combat troops are equivalent to 2 million human regular army troops, as for the temporary patchwork troops of the robbers, it is not worth mentioning.

"However, why in my own eyes, those robbers who are not worth mentioning can kill their middle army in less than half an hour?"

Xiao Keshan had a headache again.

He seemed to have a hunch that this time the Northern Expedition might not be as smooth as expected.

No matter how many things are over, first squeeze towards the side of Motianling from the east, west, and south directions, and he wants to see if those robbers have steel and iron bones and can withstand much pressure.

......

Mordin sat in the spaceship and quietly watched the form of the battlefield, and now both sides have invested huge forces around the Ferris Ridge area, and a big war is about to start in this area.

He saw that the two southern vanguard troops on the left and right were rapidly advancing towards the Motianling Mountains.

The unit on the left is 2,000 kilometers away, and at its current marching speed, it will reach Ferris Ridge in about one hour.

The unit on the right was 3,000 kilometers away and entered the battle about 2 hours later.

Both forces were small in size, and Mordin had arranged for his troops to attack them halfway.

What kept him in mind was the movement of the troops in the middle lane.

The middle lane should be the main force of Xiaoke Mountain, about 5,000 kilometers away from Motianling, and the march speed of the large army cannot be as fast as that of the vanguard troops, so it will take them at least a whole day to reach Motianling.

However, from the main army, a force of only 200,000 people was separated, and it was quickly killing the skyscraper. They traveled extremely fast, reaching the war zone in an hour at most.

"What kind of force is this, and how fast they are, and they have 1,000 warships, even though they have only 200,000 men!" Mordin thought to himself.

"Are they...... Robot troops?"

The robot unit's style of action is to move quickly, move in unison and be consistent in battle, and have extremely high team combat efficiency.

"If it's really a robot combat unit, then it's a bit of a trouble, and if you don't get it right, it will cause great losses to Henry's troops!" he frowned.

"If such a force is allowed to enter the Sky Ridge, then Zhu Simin's side will be in trouble!"

Not only are the robot units highly efficient, but it is also difficult to use emotions to touch their command mistakes, and if they lure the enemy into ambush warfare as before, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

"They must be stopped, preferably repelled!" he thought to himself.

"Xiaomin! There is a force coming from the south, the scale is about 200,000, all of them are warships, and they are very fast, I suspect that it may be a robot combat unit, you go up and stop them!" said Zhu Simin, who contacted Mo Ding on the front line.

"Okay! No problem, I'm worried that I can't enjoy fighting, those robot troops are better!" Zhu Simin readily agreed.

"There is no strategy to deal with them, you can only fight hard, even if you consume some combat power, you have to stop them from the Sky Ridge!" Mordin said.

"Don't worry, the robot troops are very powerful, but my battleship is not muddy!" the little girl replied boldly.

Mordin shook her head, this girl is making rapid progress, but she lacks the experience of setbacks, this time, it can be regarded as the first tough battle she has encountered!

......

Steobin sat on the command ship, and he was very pleased with the arrangement of Shook Mountain.

Originally a regular unit commander stationed in the mountains south of Hawala as a robot, he was very unhappy that Shook Hill did not let himself play as a striker. In his opinion, the robbers in the north-central mountains are simply vulnerable. Just last week, the Berkeley general launched a clearance operation to clear the mountainous area, dropping 100 million tons of bombs there.

100 million tons of bombs, even if a ton of bombs kill a robber, then the robbers who can remain in that mountainous area are all some remnants of the defeated army, and it is simply not worth using such a large-scale corps to attack and suppress. Maybe in this war, before his troops went to the front line, the three-way army would complete the task, and when he didn't make an inch, how could he be upgraded?

Now, the opportunity has come, that area is in a melee situation between the two sides, which is a great situation for the robot combat troops, because his troops are very good at fighting in small teams, and the cooperation between each other can be said to be perfect, and he believes that once his 200,000 troops are invested in the Sky Ridge, the tide of the battle will be turned around immediately!

While the thoughts were going on in his head, the search force sent a message that a fleet of northern robbers had appeared 500 kilometers ahead!

"Hah...... Isn't this the fat that comes to your mouth?" Steubin was looking forward to the next massacre.
