Chapter 244: A Heavy Machine Crossing the River
Suiming City. The elite of the elite of the Great Drift military, the Reilly Legion is stationed here. If the other legions were recruited for the invasion and expansion of the original Great Drift Empire, the entire Reilly Legion was the only armed force directly under the emperor of the Great Drift Imperial Family.
All the mecha soldiers are selected from the best in the country, all the officers are nobles who graduated from military academies, and they must have combat merits to hold specific positions.
Correspondingly, this is also the most stubborn royalist force in the entire Dapiao, except for His Majesty the Emperor, who will never obey orders.
It's just that they have been stationed in Suiming City, the southern part of the ladder, which is a junction between the southern mountain range and the basin, and is a strategic place where the sixteen thoroughfares, the thirty-two roads converge, and the throat of the soldiers since ancient times, with dense population, rich resources, pleasant climate, and quite superior conditions.
It's just that he is far away from the ladder and the front line of the big drift. Therefore, this army has never really fought with the Heavenly Ladder Army since the beginning of the war, and has always been stationed here.
Although no one mentioned what their specific mission was, in a sense, this legion, which belonged exclusively to His Majesty the Emperor, came to supervise the battle.
With them, those miscellaneous troops of Dapiao will not be defeated after suffering losses. And there was only one order they received: no one was allowed to cross the Suiming defense line!
This order is addressed to anyone, not only the Ladder, but also Da Piao's own army. There was a big drifting mecha division that was defeated by the ladder mecha division before, and originally planned to retreat to the Suiming River, and continue to fight after a simple rest and recuperation in the moat, but as soon as it approached the Suiming River, it was immediately hit by the Leili Legion, and under the premise that all the calls for help and communication were ineffective, this force could only turn around and fight with the ladder mecha division to the last moment.
Since then, no more drifting mecha regiment has crossed the Suiming River. The closest city to them now is the port city where Simang is now.
Therefore, even if the Dapiao defenders of Port City were defeated and surrendered on all fronts, they did not think of retreating to the defense line of Suiming City to fight again.
Sometimes, the butcher's knives of one's own people are far more ferocious than those of the enemy. In recent days, the situation has changed abruptly, the high-level of the ladder has lost contact, the high-level of the big drift has disappeared, and even the big drift has directly disintegrated, and the local battle is endless.
Unaware, the Reilly Legion remained here like a rock, as if all the changes in the world had nothing to do with them.
It's just that they are not information islands, what has happened in the past few days, the commander of the Rayleigh Legion, the Earl of Rayleigh knows very well.
In the face of this anomaly in the ladder, Earl Reilly's judgment was that the ladder military would leave the necessary garrison troops to defend the port city to prevent the attack of the ladder military, while the main force would go directly north to fight against the unknown black ball.
The reason is very simple, the capital is occupied by the enemy, do you save it or not? Is this kind of question still to be asked?
When the reconnaissance mecha group reported that the Ladder army in Port City was preparing to be deployed, Count Reilly was still thinking about whether to take the initiative to attack and take the opportunity to cause some trouble to the ladder.
When the reconnaissance mecha regiment reported that the main force of the Heavenly Ladder Army in Port City was advancing in the direction of Suiming, with a strength of about three integrated divisions, plus the incorporated Dapiao Mecha Corps and some miscellaneous troops of the Heavenly Ladder, the total strength was about the same as that of the Reilly Legion, Count Reilly insisted: "Impossible!" They must be feints! As a soldier, regardless of the danger of the capital, even if it is okay now, sooner or later he will be drowned by the foaming stars of his colleagues! No one would do such a stupid thing! "Until only three mechs of the reconnaissance mecha regiment returned, and after the loss of hundreds of reconnaissance drones of various colors, the offensive direction of the entire ladder army has become completely obvious.
The three mecha divisions lined up in a row, forming a huge arrow, and swooped down viciously towards Suiming City, and there was no possibility of turning around.
"Hehe, stupid!" Count Reilly sneered,
"All the army, prepare for war! The tiger hides its claws, and the cats think they're just bigger! It's time for these guys who don't know the height of the sky to know the true combat power of our Great Drift! Without more than ten times the number of troops, you still dare to argue with us? What childishness! "On the banks of the Suiming River, although it is already night, on the light curtain of the mechs of the two armies, it is not much different from day at this moment.
The Suiming River, which is nearly two kilometers wide, is a little quieter under the cover of night.
The night was dark, but it was not quiet. The arrows of the ladder army seem to be attacking rapidly, putting on a posture of immediately crossing the river for a decisive battle, and the reconnaissance mecha regiments of the two sides have fought several times, and there are mutual damage, and the staggered bullet marks in the air and the light of direct fire flashes from time to time, and the big battle is about to break out!
The Earl of Reilly held a glass of fiery wine in his hand, his hand was very steady, and he liked the feeling that the great battle was coming, and the more tense the atmosphere, the more mellow the wine in his hand tasted, like the blood waves spilled during the great war.
With a bang, a flare rose on the north side of the river. At this time, even the Reilly mecha stationed on the south bank of the Suiming River glanced at his mouth with disdain - what age is it, and flares are needed for war?
Hehe! I'm afraid you don't want to launch a general attack, right? Come on, come on, you've been waiting for you ladder puts for a long time!
The lion is not powerful, is it really when we are drifting without one? A heavy mecha swayed from the rear of the ladder army, and its trajectory flickered left and right, obviously not very familiar with the load it had attached, and even the output speed was the most energy-saving constant speed.
All the Great Drifting Mecha Warriors who detected such a scene couldn't help but sneer - they actually used heavy mechs to open the way?
Is the reason why aerospace mechs are all light mechas, is it really to save energy? Weighing weights and wings is also a flying scale!
In front of the lark, it is still an existence that is more clumsy than a pig!
"Lord Earl, the enemy has attacked!" The communications officer reported to the Count, who was sitting on the command platform.
"Oh? The battle has already begun? How about it, did they send a division over to die first, or a regiment? Or just a handful of studs, all on? The Count shook his glass disdainfully and smiled contemptuously.
"One, heavy mech!" The Communications Officer continued to report.
"Waste." The Earl said coldly,
"Are you in the wrong mind? A mecha isn't even a fart, and you have the face to tell me it's an offense? If our defense line takes even one mech seriously, you can drown yourself with a kettle before you do! It would be a remiss of your duty to let such a flying fool fly within our firepower strike radius! However, the communications officer continued to report: "Something is wrong with this mech! β
"What's wrong?" The Earl was furious, there were thousands of mecha under his command, and this communications officer had not been with him for a year or two, so he also had to take a few things
Is "one" mecha talking about things?
"It's, it's, it'......," the Communications Officer's tone trembled a little.
"What is it?" The Earl said impatiently. Suddenly, the Count noticed a ripple in his glass, a little, a ripple.
"What's going on? Who would dare to control a mech near the headquarters to enter the overclock? Is this not wanting to live? The Count was furious.
No one answered, for the horror in the eyes of the communications officer could no longer be concealed.
With a "boom", a smart bullet directly penetrated the wall, and after freezing everyone in the command post with a shocked expression, he twisted his little fat waist, and flashed a trace of red light with bad intentions.
A dazzling red glow. Three hours ago. The temporary headquarters of the ladder, the central command mecha.
"I disagree!" A female voice came from above the light curtain, and it was Qu Ying,
"What are you kid doing! Although I hate you very much, I will not watch you kid die in vain! And take one of our Moon Wolf heavy mechas, you don't deserve it! The female general's tone was very stern and a little disdainful.
"I'm not crazy, I've figured it out." Si Mang, who was wearing a black uniform, grinned, very bright,
"I owe her, and I want to make it up to her!" Looking at his face, all the generals in the command position were eager to rush into the central cardinal mecha and smack him with a big mouth, if it weren't for his position, he was really a little in awe, a sentence
The "stupid" is only pressed down by force, and he has already given him face very much without blurting it out.
"Is your so-called compensation to take the girl to death with you? This is war, not child's play! Don't be so naΓ―ve, you kid! Fang Jian finally couldn't help it.
"Don't call me your kid, as long as I'm not dead, I'm your commander! Nothing big or small! Simang replied unceremoniously.
"You!" In this instant, everyone's favorability towards Si Mang dropped directly to the lowest point of their cognition, and there was no one.
I don't know the bear child who is high and the earth is thick, this is everyone's feeling for Si Mang.
"Since you hate me so much, why don't you let me try? It's done, and everyone is happy. If you lose, you don't have to carry out my orders anymore, and you can directly re-elect a commander in the open, and besides, I can test a few firepower points anyway, just a heavy machine, such a redemption, not a loss. Si Mang said with a smile.
"Do you want to die like that?" Qu Ying asked coldly, she knew that if it weren't for the fact that if the central command mecha did not have a supreme commander in charge, it would have to be jointly commanded by more than three commanders, and the lawless guy in front of her would probably have carried it out according to his own ideas.
"No, I just wanted to have a wedding. Isn't it the greatest romance of a soldier to have a wedding on the battlefield? My woman, deserves the best! Simang said with a smile.
"Since you're so insistent, let's get out!" Fang Jian finally couldn't help it.
"Yes!" Simang stood up, raised his hands, and saluted. Because his current command position is higher than that of all the generals, this sudden move will provoke all the other generals to stand up and salute him, although Si Mang has lowered his posture in this way, but it has really caused a lot of trouble to everyone.
Qu Ying glared angrily at Fang Jian in the virtual light curtain, turned her head to look at Si Mang again, and there was a hint of inexplicability in her tone: "Since this is the case, it is useless to say more." Hope you come back alive. After all, you're also a combat hero, and we won't be expecting you to die. β
"Hmm!" Si Mang nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will come back alive." β
