Chapter 714: Destroy the Vanguard (8000)
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The mighty army of rebel machines rushed from the valley.
They did not stop and were not afraid.
They were ruthless and killed any living creatures they saw along the way.
They killed all flesh and blood creatures coldly and collected their flesh and blood.
Such a situation was naturally seen by many people.
The well-prepared goblin combat troops stared at their rapid movement, and their eyes gradually showed excitement.
Boom!
The surging shells flew from a distance and hit the center of the rebel machines fiercely.
The constantly spreading deadly shrapnel destroyed the rebel machines that hit along the way.
They smashed big holes one after another, or stopped due to exhaustion.
The rebel machines under attack immediately accelerated their running speed and rushed towards the direction of the fire.
The continuous artillery fire bombed one after another.
The rebel machine at the forefront was immediately blown to pieces.
Even so, there are still rebellious machines staring with strange red electronic eyes, rushing into the coverage of artillery fire without hesitation.
They have no self-will and are not afraid of death.
Only a small number of rebellious machines hiding among them have the thinking and ability to control and command them to fight.
Soon, the snipers of the Gulf Territory saw these unique rebellious machines.
Other rebellious machines were advancing, only they stood still, commanding other rebellious machines to die.
Such a clear difference is naturally indispensable to use more sensitive combat power detectors to take a few pictures of them.
Soon, their uniqueness was revealed.
Intelligent rebellious machine, small construct.
Challenge level: 15+ elite
Challenge suggestion: 10 fully armed high-level professionals are needed to rush in and decapitate!
Basic attributes: basically the same as rebellious machines.
Combat power evaluation: 150!
Ordinary rebellious machines are elite, and they directly transition to elite.
There is no obvious difference in the appearance of the two.
However, when they were marked, the long-range artillery had already aimed at them.
Boom!
The fierce artillery fire showed the effect of precision strike.
The intelligent rebellious machines that were found were bombarded by at least three or four artillery pieces.
The extremely destructive artillery fire immediately cleared the large area of rebellious machines.
Most of the rebellious machines died under the coverage of artillery fire, leaving only a piece of broken, black metal fragments.
Compared with ordinary rebellious machines, the intelligent rebellious machines, which had no physical difference, were naturally killed.
The effect was quite obvious!
After the intelligent rebellious machines were killed, hundreds of rebellious machines nearby immediately became chaotic.
They were no longer uniform and advanced in a scattered formation like a net, but rushed forward in a mess.
In this way, the rebellious machines that launched the charge in front became messy together, charging and crowding together on the rugged mountain road.
This situation is just right for long-range firepower coverage bombing.
A large area of artillery fire covered the area, and more rebellious machines fell.
If it was before, the rebellious machines did not have many countermeasures.
This time, the situation was completely different.
Some shrunken metal cannons were dragged out by the rebellious machines.
Aiming at the direction of the fire, they fired back.
The rotating shells flew from a distance.
"Artillery attack, pay attention to hiding!"
The artillerymen who retreated in advance still hid in the bunker obediently.
The raging explosion not far away made them swallow their saliva involuntarily.
Many soldiers were very fortunate that they did not slack off in their usual training and habitually obeyed orders, so they were not killed by the opponent's precise and deadly counterattack.
Many soldiers felt strange in their hearts and immediately recalled the situation that the commanders told them before the battle began.
"The enemy this time is extraordinary. Not only does it have tenacious vitality, but it also has long-range attack capabilities."
"At the same time, their number is greater than ours."
"They will even learn and imitate our weapons, so everyone should be alert."
"Our battle with the enemy is the real scene of our usual training against each other."
"We must make corresponding combat preparations and be more vigilant."
At this time, the soldiers immediately woke up.
The artillery commander, who was also frightened out of a cold sweat, noticed the enemy's non-stop artillery fire, and a little coldness flashed in his eyes.
He immediately issued an order based on the firing elements sent back by the observer:
"Adjust the artillery and wait for the firing order!"
The clear voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every artilleryman through the team communicator.
The gunners who were ready for battle quickly completed the calibration and silently waited for the order to fire.
The violent shock of the distant artillery bombardment made them nervous involuntarily, but before they had too many ideas, the clear "shooting" immediately came out.
"3 rounds of rapid fire! Quick transfer!"
The gunner fired instantly, and the shells flew out impatiently.
The loader immediately stepped forward, cleaned the barrel, and loaded the shells.
The gunner fired again.
The loader quickly connected.
This happened three times!
They jumped onto the seats of the self-propelled artillery decisively, and the driver stepped on the accelerator hard, and a whole team of artillery immediately moved to the right.
The whole process took only 30 seconds, which made the commander in control slightly relieved.
He carefully calculated the time and silently looked back at the shooting position just now.
Two minutes later.
The artillery unit of the Gulf Territory had redeployed and hid in the new shooting area.
The endless shells flew over with a whistle, covering the position where they were just now in a sea of fire.
The artillery commander, who got the other party's reaction speed, breathed a long sigh of relief.
The other party's reaction speed was already very fast, but it was far less than the artillery unit of the Gulf Territory.
They practiced repeated shooting and transfer every day, at least hundreds of times a day.
Every time a mistake occurred, they would be required to find the cause immediately, and in the next training, they must correct it quickly.
If the requirements cannot be met, they must enter the reserve team for further intensive training.
Here, new combat requirements and technologies replaced their previous combat experience.
Many soldiers will feel confused and will fluctuate in repetitive training.
However, the Gulf Territory will never allow various problems to be magnified.
The commander will find the person with the problem, have in-depth communication with him, and explain to them the importance and significance of each training.
Even so, day after day of training, the operation of not being able to see the effect of their own attacks often makes these soldiers restless.
Can their current fighting methods really work?
Fortunately, the Gulf Territory has been on the right track!
Various thoughts flashed through the mind of the artillery commander.
He retracted his eyes from the artillery bombardment in the distance and issued subsequent combat orders:
"Adjust the shooting elements!"
...
"3 rounds of rapid fire! Quick transfer!"
...
Burst after burst of artillery bombardment, accurately hitting various parts of the rebellious mechanical army.
The area that suffered the most intense artillery attack.
Naturally, it was the rebellious machinery that launched the charge at the front, and the opponent's long-range artillery unit.
Especially the long-range artillery unit, every once in a while, will be subject to fixed-point bombardment by the Gulf Territory artillery unit.
The huge destructive power of the dense artillery bombing has weakened the number of artillery mechanical units again and again.
Even so, their counterattacks are still swift and powerful, and they are not affected by the attack.
This is the strength of the mechanical unit.
No matter when, how much damage they have suffered, how much blow they have suffered, they will execute orders stably.
But stability is also their weakness!
Every time they counterattacked, they failed, and the number of artillery fire fired by the Gulf Territory has never been weakened.
They did not change the way of counterattack, and continued to launch counterattacks according to the plan formulated before the war.
Of course, the continuous damage to the artillery unit naturally made the rebellious mechanical commander respond.
Its response is very simple, continue to increase the number of artillery units.
Some of the mechanical dogs that have undergone transformation rushed to the center of the battlefield with metal cannons with a much smaller caliber and at least doubled length.
They have a longer range, stronger lethality, and can be transferred faster.
For the commander of the rebellious mechanical army, as long as the number overwhelms the opponent, victory will naturally come easily.
Unfortunately, it thought too simply.
The backwardness of the fighting method cannot be compensated by the number of weapons.
The long-range artillery units of the rebel army are indeed numerous, with as many as eight or nine hundred artillery pieces, and the lethality of the covering shooting is enough to smash the thick city walls.
The bunkers where the artillery units hide can also be directly destroyed.
However, no matter how fierce the firepower is, if it can't hit the enemy, it will be useless.
So even if they strengthened their firepower, they still did not cause any damage to the artillery units of the Gulf Territory, but instead suffered more targeted concentrated fire.
In just ten minutes, the mechanical artillery units were hit by five rounds of artillery fire.
Thousands of artillery mechanical monsters suffered a devastating blow.
By the time the commander of the rebel mechanical army reacted, there were only a few artillery mechanical monsters left.
It was not until this time that the artillery units of the Gulf Territory, which had eliminated the threat, opened up all their firepower.
The endless flames and explosions quickly destroyed the vanguard of the rebel mechanical army.
The rebellious machines that they had finally rushed forward were immediately devastated.
This rebellious mechanical exploration team of more than 8,000 could not withstand the increasing casualties of artillery bombardment and had to retreat.
In the process of retreat, they suffered artillery bombardment everywhere.
The idea of bringing back the bodies of the rebellious machines failed, and even more debris was left.
In the end, only more than 3,000 rebellious mechanical monsters escaped from the death canyon filled with smoke and artillery fire.
It was not until this time that the Mohist disciples who were waiting for the fierce battle in the fortifications found out in a daze.
The battle was over!
They didn't even make a serious move, only dozens of people who served as guides for the Bay Leader participated in the battle.
However, the Bay Leader was still very generous and shared the debris of these rebellious machines with the Mohists.
The Mohist disciples who rushed to the battlefield looked at the dense wreckage silently, feeling a little excited, but also a little confused.
The fighting power and fighting style shown by the Gulf Territory far exceeded their imagination and expectations.
They still had some confidence in fighting against the rebellious machines.
But if they met the Gulf Territory, they might be like these rebellious machines that fell to the ground.
They died unclearly and unclearly.
They understood that this was the masterpiece of the Gulf Territory's artillery.
But they never thought that the Gulf Territory's artillery unit of 2,000 people and 280 artillery pieces would have such a strong killing power.
After a short and rapid exchange, several leaders of the Machinery City immediately made up their minds.
The exchanges and cooperation with the Gulf Territory must be intensified and deeper.
This is just one of the attacks on the Gulf Territory's controlled area, which belongs to the vanguard of the northern rebellious mechanical army.
On the eastern battlefield, a very fierce battle is going on.
This place is not like the narrow and deep valley in front of the Machinery City, but a group of mountains gathered together.
The rebellious machines launched attacks from multiple roads, preparing to encircle the three passes in the east of the Gulf Territory.
The rebellious machines in the charge were also bombarded by the surging artillery.
However, because the mountain was not high enough and the slopes on both sides were not steep enough.
So the rebellious machines could launch an attack from the slopes to the front.
The Gulf Territory set up many "traps" here.
One by one, flat roads were specially dug.
That's right, the Gulf Territory dug roads for the rebellious machines' attack.
So, the rebellious machines would naturally continue to move forward along these dug roads.
There were no traps on this road, but there were dwarf artillery with a range of 3 kilometers.
Boom!
The violent explosion caused the rebellious machines crowded on these roads to suffer heavy losses at the first time.
Their first reaction to being attacked was to continue to rush forward.
The dwarf artillery did not shoot at them, but extended backwards and covered them.
Until all the rebel machines on the entire road were bombed, 1/3 of them were killed, and the remaining 1/6 were destroyed, basically destroying their attacking forces.
When the remaining scattered rebel machines continued to charge forward.
The combat troops of the Gulf Territory, which had been ambushed long ago, immediately cleared them out.
The powerful dragon warriors, with the fixed-point shooting of long-range bows and crossbows, were also very easy to deal with scattered rebel machines.
This also led to the fact that although the offensive of the rebel machines was fierce, they did not achieve much results.
Instead, they suffered a continuous attack during the march, and a large number of combat units were lost.
Finally, the rebel machines that rushed over were all cleared out.
In order to deal with the artillery units that bombarded continuously.
As soon as they pushed the mechanical artillery units to the front, they were immediately counterattacked by the Gulf Territory.
Some artillery units of the Gulf Territory ambushed on the side of the defense line carried out a covering attack on them.
The sudden fierce artillery fire caught them off guard, and almost all the mechanical artillery was cleared.
The slower-moving rebel machines, although they were constantly advancing, were still swallowed up by the firepower network defense line arranged by the Gulf Territory.
They kept advancing forward, but they could never go any further.
The command center of the rebel machines chose to take a detour.
Most of them are made of steel, but they are not stubborn.
The rare flexibility of the rebel machines is definitely enough to deal with most defenders.
Building defense lines, fortresses and passes in the mountains is a huge project in itself.
As long as you don't actively attack them and advance around them, the opponent must kill out of the defensive buildings.
Whether the opponent comes out or stays in the defensive buildings, the rebel machines can accept it.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the number of defense lines arranged by the Gulf Territory.
Their movements naturally fell into the eyes of the Gulf Territory Dragon Knights.
"12th Regiment, 16th Regiment, 18th Regiment, transfer to defense zones 3, 5, and 6..."
"3rd Regiment, 7th Regiment, 9th Regiment, transfer to defense zones 11 and 19..."
After detecting that they had withdrawn again and changed their marching routes.
The combat troops of the Gulf Territory completed the transfer of the front at a faster speed.
Whether it was the small transport track that had been prepared long ago or the regional chain space array that could be used for short-distance transmission, the Gulf Territory troops could transfer quickly.
The deployment and movement speed of the Gulf Territory troops reached a very amazing level.
In just 15 minutes, nearly 15,000 Gulf Territory soldiers successfully completed the transfer.
They hid quietly, quickly prepared for battle, and waited for the rebellious machinery to step into the arranged trap.
The rebellious machinery marched on the new road ahead, and there was no trace of the Gulf Territory troops' defense line.
Thousands of rebellious machinery advanced rapidly, but occasionally a few unlucky ones fell into the deep pit or were reimbursed by the arranged alchemical bombs.
Some scattered combatants used artillery and long-range crossbows to launch a counterattack against the rebellious mechanical army.
The flying dragon knights came from not far away and were fighting with the mechanical flying dragons in the sky.
The scattered traps and the small number of enemy troops made the rebellious mechanical command center feel relieved.
Without further hesitation, the rebellious machines pushed forward with all their strength.
This opportunity is rare and cannot be missed!
So, the rebellious machines rushed forward in a swarm.
Boom!
A group of fierce flames enveloped the rebellious machines in the charge.
Thousands of artillery pieces fired at the same time, and the road where the rebellious machines charged was completely engulfed in a sea of fire.
The few remaining mechanical flying dragons did not see the enemy moving, only tens of thousands of enemies suddenly emerged from all over the mountain.
Dwarf artillery, magic artillery, dragon hunting crossbow, heavy armor-piercing explosive crossbow, and various powerful long-range weapons covered and attacked the rebellious machines.
More than 1,000 of the thousands of rebellious machines in the charge fell in an instant.
The smoke and dust of the explosion, the rolling black smoke, and the surging flames plunged the entire battlefield into chaos.
When the rebellious mechanical army recovered, it had lost more than 2,000 rebellious machines.
Even so, the rebellious mechanical army, which had suffered a great loss of strength, tried to continue fighting with long-range firepower.
But the area where they were located was narrower than the road they had advanced on before, and the mechanical artillery troops could not move around and were passively squeezed together.
As soon as they opened fire, they attacked the nearest Gulf Territory defense line.
The bombing artillery fire from all directions immediately lit up, and they were jointly bombarded from different directions.
A large number of shells fell like raindrops.
The mechanical artillery troops were immediately hit hard, but they had to obey orders and continue to advance with the rebellious mechanical army.
Every time they advanced and fired, they would be met with precise coverage shooting from the Gulf Territory artillery troops.
Their counterattacks became weaker and weaker, and their numbers became fewer and fewer.
After struggling for a few minutes, they were torn to pieces under the fierce bombardment of heavy artillery fire.
They did not even cause any substantial casualties to the Gulf Territory's artillery troops.
The reason why the Gulf Territory's artillery troops are so powerful is not only because they are well-trained, experienced in combat, and have strong combat skills.
They have long recorded the shooting elements of all surrounding areas.
Moreover, the perfect coordination of unified combat command, unified combat coordination, and unified data calculation.
is the real reason why they can play such an outstanding effect.
The form of the battle is no longer the same.
After losing about 2,000 rebellious machines.
The rebellious mechanical vanguard in the east tried to retreat.
However, the Gulf Territory did not give them a chance this time.
The Gulf Territory combat troops, which were deployed by teleportation and flanking, surrounded them from the rear.
There were flying dragon knights in the sky, and artillery fire was flying from all directions.
The mechanical artillery unit with the only counterattack ability had been destroyed long ago.
All the mechanical flying dragons in the sky were also killed.
Then, the intelligent rebellious machines that were good at commanding operations were cleared out by the artillery units.
The rebellious mechanical monsters, which were left with only a pile of scattered sand, were completely trapped.
They only lasted for more than half an hour before they were overwhelmed by continuous long-range attacks.
Their remains and some survivors became the spoils of the Gulf Territory combat troops.
The Gulf Territory dispatched 30,000 troops on the eastern battlefield.
This news and intelligence were passed to Guilty Spark by the rebellious machinery.
The vanguards of the rebellious machinery troops in the south and west are charging forward with all their strength.
Their mission is the same as the previous two rebellious machinery vanguard armies.
Try to find out the defense deployment of the Gulf Territory in various places.
In simple terms, they are cannon fodder sent by Guilty Spark.
Their death is inevitable!
The difference lies in how much useful information they can find.
Facing these rebellious machinery in the west, it is the goblin combat troops that cooperate with the artillery troops of the Gulf Territory.
Interestingly, the goblin troops are best at fighting by setting up various ambushes and traps.
For a long time before, the goblins could only rely on this fighting method to fight the rebellious machinery.
To the west is a low hill.
There are dozens of small earth slopes and gullies there.
It is very suitable for hiding troops everywhere.
The vanguard army of the rebellious machinery, nearly 10,000 in number, advances eastward from here.
They entered the rolling mountains and were soon attacked by various traps and attacks from the goblin troops.
Various long-range artillery fires would attack these advancing rebel machines.
When they were attracted, the goblins would detonate the surrounding cliffs or cliffs.
While blocking their retreat, they would also kill as many of them as possible.
When they encountered a small number of rebel mechanical monsters, they would rely on their advantage in numbers to surround and strangle them.
The artillery units hidden in various places would provide advance artillery support to help reduce the risk and pressure of close combat.
Due to manpower reasons, the Gulf Territory only sent some artillery trainers to help the goblin combat troops.
Ensure that they can form a certain long-range artillery support combat capability.
The scattered advancement caused considerable damage to the rebel machinery.
About 1,000 rebel machines were lost, and the rebel mechanical vanguard only advanced 1/4 of the way.
Facing attacks from all over, there were all kinds of messy roads.
The rebellious mechanical vanguard army regrouped and formed a combat force of more than 8,000 people, and gathered to advance forward.
By doing so, they just fell into the encirclement tactics arranged by the goblins.
In sporadic combat, the goblin combat troops that need to conduct raids will inevitably suffer a certain degree of damage in order to obtain more spoils.
But now, the rebellious machines are all gathered together.
The Gulf Territory combat troops, assisted by long-range artillery, can fire long-range bombs at the areas where they gather.
They can cause a lot of damage to the rebellious machines without almost precise aiming.
Moreover, the trajectory of the artillery shells comes from the corners of various hills and gaps.
After each shooting, they will leave the original position as quickly as possible, reposition and shoot.
Then, before the opponent's counterattack arrives, the goblin artillery troops will quickly support and transfer through the channels dug underground, the golem trains supported by the Gulf Territory, and the teleportation arrays arranged in various battlefields.
The rebellious machines that are scattered around to pursue will soon hit various traps and lose the trace of the goblin troops.
More than 30,000 goblin combat troops came out in full force, using the method of small-team combat to "surround" the rebellious mechanical vanguard.
They were not in a hurry to engage in direct combat with the rebellious machinery, and through various long-range attacks, they gradually reduced the number of the enemy.
The long-range counterattack of the rebellious machinery also caused some losses to the goblins.
The goblins' reaction and combat quality were still much worse than the professional soldiers of the Gulf Territory.
However, the goblins' fighting will was quite firm.
Even though there were many casualties, they still stubbornly followed the plan and tried to stop the rebellious mechanical vanguard.
Looking at the rebellious machinery that kept falling, many goblin warriors were very excited.
With the help of various weapons in the Gulf Territory, they finally had the ability to fight against large-scale rebellious machinery.
Although the sacrifice of their companions made them feel very sad, it also inspired them to move forward.
Regardless of casualties, the rebellious mechanical vanguard army still failed to break through the defense line of tens of thousands of goblins.
The rebellious mechanical vanguard advanced to about 1/2 of the position, and the number had lost more than 2,000.
There were only more than 5,000 rebellious machines that could continue to fight.
They chose to retreat when they were unable to continue advancing.
The excited goblins chased them, disrupted their actions to recover the corpses of the rebellious machines, and weakened their speed in recovering the number of rebellious machines.
In the end, there were only more than 3,000 rebellious machines, which barely escaped the battlefield.
They retreated temporarily.
But next time, they will definitely go all out.
Unlike the western battlefield with mountains and gullies.
The southern battlefield is a flat plain area.
This used to be a fertile farmland area, but now it has become an endless wilderness.
There are all kinds of dangerous monsters wandering here, including terrible mechanical behemoths.
The goblins can only watch this fertile land go to waste, but they have no ability to develop it.
The rebellious machines often set up various traps specifically for hunting hungry goblins.
Getting food itself is an extremely difficult task, let alone farming.
The rebellious mechanical vanguard here is the fastest.
However, they soon encountered the strongest fighting force of the Gulf Territory!
The Gulf Territory Thunder Warrior Team led by Matthew, and 200 Golem Armored Trucks.
These 200 Golem Armored Trucks are equipped with the latest developed magic artillery.
They have an attack range of more than 3 kilometers.
They can fire 50 magic shells with the power equivalent to "Yan Yang Blast".
The improvement of this technology comes from the technology recycling of the improved version of the Death God 2000.
The price of each of them is 1 million gold coins, which makes the price of the improved version of the Golem Armored Train rise to 4 million gold coins per unit.
It has the advantages of mobility and range over the mechanical artillery monsters of the rebellious machinery.
When the opponent approaches the shooting range, you can immediately open fire and conduct covering shooting.
Tens of thousands of rebellious mechanical monsters gathered together were immediately surrounded by the explosion of magic fire.
While they were caught in the chaos of the explosion.
Matthew and the Thunder Warriors easily killed into the rebellious mechanical army through fixed-point teleportation.
Click!
The surging thunder fell from the sky.
The spreading lightning jumped in the rebellious machines.
The rebellious machines that were hit burst into sparks and dilapidated violent magic, and then fell to the ground trembling.
Matthew charged forward, and the Thunder Warriors followed.
Because of the obstruction of the rebellious machines, only a small part of the attacks could fall on the Thunder Warriors.
The Thunder Warriors holding shields rushed in along the gap torn by Matthew.
Each of them held a grenade gun and shot the fish that escaped around Matthew.
Several improved models of the Death God 2000 rushed over, but they were hit with holes in a burst of fire, and then easily split in half by Matthew.
Before the rebellious machines could react, Matthew had already led the team into the mechanical artillery unit.
In the absence of legendary constructs such as the Death God 3000 experimental body.
Matthew and the Thunder Warriors who appeared in the long-range mechanical artillery unit slaughtered them with overwhelming force.
In just a blink of an eye, the mechanical artillery team turned into broken pieces of metal.
The target was solved.
Matthew led the Thunder Warriors and rushed out of the battlefield.
Ordinary rebellious machines were completely unable to stop their evacuation.
Especially Matthew, who rushed to the front, could often kill a large number of rebellious machines by himself.
The Thunder Warriors, who held up shields for defense on the outside, stood firm in the dense attacks.
On the surface, they had strong defense, but in fact, they were replaced by companions at any time.
If it weren't for the rebellious machines with improved weapons, the armor-piercing crossbows that could threaten the Thunder Magic Armor.
Matthew and the Thunder Warriors even wanted to kill all the tens of thousands of rebellious machines by themselves!
Of course, this was just a "bragging" statement by some Thunder Warriors.
But even so, without the mechanical artillery unit.
This rebellious mechanical vanguard could no longer pose any threat to more than 200 magic armored trucks.
They could only quickly disperse to the surroundings and escape and retreat in a burst of bombardment.
Matthew and the Thunder Warriors did not pursue them.
They had to replenish and repair the protective energy and structure consumed by the Thunder Magic Armor.
So far, in just over three hours.
The vanguards of the four rebellious mechanical armies were either destroyed or annihilated!
