"So far, a total of 47 people have been killed, 362 have been wounded, and 72 have been seriously injured......

Listening to the results reported by the front line, Gooden was also a little distressed.

After three days of fighting, the four battalions of the Qingyuan Army alone lost so many people, which was almost half a battalion.

You must know that the equipment equipped by soldiers fighting on the front line, whether it is weapons or protective equipment, is of the first class.

But under such circumstances, the size of the 4,000-strong force was also knocked out by one-tenth of the number, which shows the fierceness of the battle on the front line.

Moreover, the losses of the Qingyuan army are already like this, not to mention the losses of troops in other aspects, especially the ordinary imperial defenders, according to intelligence information, the number of losses has also exceeded at least.

This is still the number of losses in the case of superior combat, which is already so terrifying.

After the battle of the undead, the next thing is to face the attack of the orcs, in order to make up for the loss of your part of the number, he has transferred another battalion of troops to the broken pulse to support and replenish.

An additional batch of recruits was transferred to replenish the loss gap of the four battalions.

The withdrawal of the Broken Vein Fortress is expected to last at least ten days or so before the evacuation is completed.

And this also means that the remaining defenders will also have to ensure the task of breaking the pulse for this ten days.

As the evacuation continues, the number of defenders of the broken pulse is getting smaller and smaller, and the defense will become more and more difficult.

At the same time, the task of supporting and supplying the defensive line is also particularly important.

Since the start of the operation in February, Goodern has seen the transportation and delivery capacity of the vehicle more important, and many problems that did not appear in the past have also appeared one after another, and they need to be solved and improved.

Although the laying of railroad tracks has begun in the territory and large-scale transportation and transfer work can be carried out, it is already difficult for the trucks in service to be on ordinary roads outside the tracks.

Fortunately, the progress of testing of the new magic truck is also progressing at a rapid pace, and the related research has continued, and the first vehicles have been put into testing in the last two days.

The research department also presented different versions of the way for different occasions and different ideas presented by Goodern.

A six-ton load light truck upgraded from the original foundation, a newly developed heavy truck with a load of 20 tons, and a semi-trailer head that can be customized in the later stage, with a minimum load of more than one tonnage.

The three trucks, of which the heavy truck is a key project, will be mainly used in the military in the future, while the semi-trailer is a mounting module required for production according to the situation, and can be used to transform it into a missile launch vehicle when necessary.

Judging from the current test situation, the effect of the three test vehicles is good, and the production line is also being arranged.

Among them, the existing truck production line is preferentially transformed into a heavy-duty truck production line, and heavy-duty trucks, as the main vehicles of the next generation, naturally need to be taken care of.

While renovating the production line, it is also expanding the scale of the production line to increase the number of mass production.

The original production line already had a production plan, but it was put on hold due to the task of next-generation research.

Now that the upgrade task has been completed, a larger production number is needed to quickly replenish the required quantity.

Based on the current production line expansion, it is expected that the production capacity of heavy trucks will reach a rate of more than 30 vehicles per day.

Although it is only a three-fold increase from the original production line, the performance of the truck has taken a qualitative leap.

And the speed of transformation can be completed in two days, and it will be put into production, so that it can catch up with the withdrawal of troops from the north, so as to test its large-scale stress test mission while using it.

At the same time, the speed of daily production is not fixed, if the follow-up response effect is good, it will also be optimized and upgraded to further expand the production speed.

In addition to transport upgrades, Goodern also places a strong emphasis on vehicle-mounted heavy firepower support upgrades.

Ministry of the front

Although the team is currently equipped with a number of armored trucks and heavy machine guns as fire support, judging from the current scale of operations, this firepower is somewhat stretched.

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of legions fighting, this heavy machine gun support, at most, can only achieve a certain suppression ability on the point battlefield, but it is difficult to affect the entire line of operations.

Therefore, the upgrade of vehicle-mounted heavy weapons should be developed towards stronger weapons, of which the current plan includes two research plans: tanks, the king of land, and armored vehicles with stronger weapons.

However, with the research and upgrading of stronger weapons, Goodern also had a whim, and the magic technology in his hands is becoming stronger and stronger, and the development of this heavy weapon can indeed help, but the limitations brought by it must be very large.

After all, the individual combat power of this world is not balanced at all, and if you make a tank, if there is no one to protect and cooperate, it will be a proper iron coffin.

This thing is not bad as a heavy weapon support, but if you want to charge and attack first, the road construction of this world is not so developed, and the steel behemoth weighing dozens of tons is a problem to travel.

What's more, when attacking the city, it may be able to suppress the fire from the outside, but after entering the city, the narrow roads and winding streets will make it close itself.

For this situation, Gooden has a new idea, that is, to directly study mechas!

The battlefield on the Dawn Continent still needs to rely on higher-level combat personnel to decide the outcome of a war, and it is difficult for large-scale group tanks to pose a threat to them in terms of mobility and firepower in the face of transcendentals.

However, if you let a high-level warrior or a master-level warrior wear a magic mecha, with a variety of modern weapon technology, it can not only flexibly do heavy fire support on the battlefield, but even on various terrains, it can also perfectly exert its strength.

And the most important thing is that the magic mecha can also be regarded as a kind of equipment, and when it is equipped with soldiers above the high rank, cross-class combat is not a problem, and it can perfectly and quickly make up for the lack of intermediate combat power in Qingyuan City.

The current combat power situation in Qingyuan City is very extreme, the high-level combat power is directly an extraordinary start, and the low-level combat power is all composed of ordinary people and some awakened and beginner-level warriors.

Although there are many high-level and even master-level soldiers at present, they are still too rare for the overall number of troops.

And the magic mecha thing, just thinking about it is very emotional, after all, that man doesn't like mechas? What's more, it's a magic-driven mecha, and after such a double superposition, Gooden is also very much looking forward to whether this thing can appear.

In terms of resources, this research task is almost the same as the research of aircraft, which is equivalent to the development of key projects.

As for the tank, although there are many defects, it has not given up on its development, but the personnel and resources invested are naturally not as much as the two research projects of mecha and aircraft.

……

At the Broken Vein Fortress.

After a day's rest after the defeat of the army of the undead, the scouts released to the Broken Vein Canyon returned information about the orcs.

"The camp of the orcs outside the canyon has begun to move troops, with the intention of marching towards the fortress, the number is huge, it is expected to exceed 10,000 people, and there will be more troops in the future, so it is impossible to find out for the time being."

In the battle command room on the city wall, the information sent back was immediately transferred to the hands of the coalition forces.

The attack of the orcs was also expected by everyone.

After all, the first hand consumed such a large amount of resources, and the orcs would not continue to watch the supply of the Broken Vein Fortress replenish again.

However, everyone also knows that this time the orc's attack will also cause combat destruction above the transcendent level.

In the previous confrontation against the undead, both sides were waiting to find an opportunity for the other party to make a move, but the orcs did not expect that the other party would solve the undead army without dispatching the extraordinary.

And the coalition forces didn't expect that the orcs didn't make a move to intercept the rocket attack, so that when both of them were hiding one hand, they forcibly delayed the stage of transcendent confrontation.

"Orcs don't look like that

It's a simple offensive like the undead, and now that the defenders' defense is weakened, everyone must be prepared for a bloody battle."

After Hogzi glanced at the information briefing, he said to the emperor's officials, and then looked at Buniton of the Qingyuan Army.

"This time, the Qingyuan Army is still doing a second-line long-range attack, in terms of long-range output, you are still the main force, but hand over the front defensive position to the emperor *** to defend."

"No problem, there is another battalion of troops on the front line, they can do support tasks, there is a battle situation over there, and they can go to help."

"Okay." Hogzi nodded in agreement, and he was also very clear about the combat strength of the Qingyuan Army, and having a battalion-level support to fill it could play a decisive role on the battlefield.

To deal with the orc battle, the Broken Vein Fortress already had a complete system, and after a brief discussion, it quickly began to arrange the preparation process.

Even with the addition of the Qingyuan Army and the Royal Third Legion now, it has not disrupted much in terms of the overall defensive deployment.

The news of the imminent attack of the orcs also quickly spread throughout the fortress, and everyone also made defensive tasks according to the pre-prepared arrangement.

In the war against the Broken Vein Fortress, the orcs have been attacking for hundreds of years, and the imperial defense has been upgraded for hundreds of years, and the two sides are already very familiar with each other.

After receiving the news of the orc army's departure, it was already possible to estimate how long it would take for the other party to arrive on the battlefield.

For example, attacking the Broken Vein City Wall will inevitably carry a large number of engineering equipment, all of which are behemoths of tens of meters.

Moving forward with these behemoths, without the help of mechanical power, purely by brute force.

Therefore, the speed of the march will naturally be much slower, but in the past, when the orcs were dispatched, they would always send a front-line force to start camping at a kilometer of the Broken Vein Wall.

But this time the other side did not have this choice, and the reason for this is not difficult to guess, the coverage of artillery and rockets is too deterrent for them.

By the time the orc army arrives at the fortress from the entrance to the broken vein on the other side, it will take at least a little more than a day.

As time passed, the million-level orc army finally docked twenty kilometers outside the Broken Vein City Wall and stayed.

Judging from the joint exploration of the transcendent and the legendary, the number of orcs on this expedition exceeded 20,000, and there was a longer army gathering behind them.

This number of offensives, even in previous historical battles, is the first time.

If the total strength of the two sides is brought together, the number has exceeded 10,000, and such a super-large-scale battle is the first time for both sides.

Although this garrison distance is outside the range of artillery, it is still within the range of rocket artillery, and in the face of such a good opportunity, after discussing with a group of imperial officials and Qingyuan personnel, it was decided to start directly in advance....

The rocket artillery that was ready opened fire at the first command, and hundreds of rockets flew straight into the sky towards the orc camp that had not yet been fully established.

But when the rockets reached the sky above the orc camp, a transcendent force suddenly erupted, and the volley directly intercepted and detonated all the shells.

Hundreds of flames suddenly exploded in the sky, forming a unique 'fireworks', looking at the current sneak attack, there was no surprise here between the empire and Qingyuan.

The opponent's extraordinary interception is also within their expectations, if the other party does not make a move, then the rocket can at least continue to delay the opponent's assembly time for half a day.

This is undoubtedly a very advantageous attack for the Imperial side that needs to evacuate time, but it is normal to be intercepted.

But the rockets that were intercepted by the orc transcendent were not stopped in vain, dozens of figures sprang out of the fortress in an instant, and their erupting aura was all above the transcendent level.

There are even three of them, which are at the level of legends!

These are all the top combat forces on the imperial side, and at the same time, within the orc camp, twenty figures, two legends, and twenty-two transcendents also flew out!

"Finally can't help but make a move?"

In the face of the Empire's inquiry, the orc side did not speak, but just stared at the confrontation coldly.

"To be dumb? Then be this dumb man!"

The Legend of the Empire snorted coldly and directly launched an attack.

And the other transcendents and legends behind him or beside him were also attacking the orc side at the same time.

The rocket attack was just a premature detonation of the 'first shot', and it was impossible for the Imperial side to allow the orcs to gather their troops to attack safely.

If the first ring is intercepted, then it will directly shoot above the extraordinary, thus interrupting the rhythm of the orc's attack.

The sudden transcendent battle caused the energy above the battlefield to explode instantly, and the wind formed by countless aftermaths blasted the ridges or the ground on all sides into huge ruins and caves.

Fighting in this small area, the superimposed destructive power of the two sides changed the terrain of the entire battlefield once, and the ground, which was originally slightly hard, became very soft at the moment, and compared to other places, it sank at least half a meter.

The energy fluctuations of the intersection of the transcendent and the legendary also drove a huge roar to reverberate between the canyons, extending and spreading for hundreds of kilometers.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, the battle between the two sides did not completely break out in full force, with the strength of the legend, even in a one-on-one situation, under the full outbreak, it can instantly turn the surrounding area within several kilometers into powder.

Coupled with the mobility of both sides, a battle must cover at least a distance of 100 kilometers.

However, although the Empire's attack was limited, the main purpose was to force the opponent's camp to retreat, and every attack was to bombard the opponent's camp.

After understanding the intentions of the empire, the orcs also had to issue a retreat order in the face of a large number of people, moving the position of the army back ten kilometers, and changing the distance of the confrontation between the two sides to thirty kilometers.

After getting the orcs to retreat, the empire stopped.

Although the fighting lasted only a short time, three dead and six wounded.

The orcs are two dead and two wounded, and the Empire is one dead and four wounded!
