The wind howled as the warhorses carried the soldiers at full gallop. As they rode, the soldiers raised their rifles and opened fire on the fleeing crowd ahead!

"Bang bang bang!"

It wasn't just one shot that rang out; the soldiers' comrades were also firing, and in an instant, hundreds of bullets whistled forward.

The team that fired the shots was the advance squad sent by Qin Ze. Their original mission was to scout the terrain and prepare for the main force's operation. However, during their advance, they suddenly encountered Golgar soldiers who were setting up roadblocks.

The roadblocks were not fully set up, and the number of Golgar soldiers setting them up was small, so the Yan soldiers raised their guns and fired.

Although the Goths had spotted the Yan army's arrival moments before, the roadblocks were not yet fully set up. Therefore, they did not retreat immediately but instead sped up their efforts to set up the roadblocks as quickly as possible before the enemy arrived.

But who could have imagined that the enemy had warhorses? And a well-trained cavalry force at that? Who could have guessed that?

Last night, the Yan Kingdom's soldiers breached Foster Harbor and landed. Who would have thought that at this moment, before nine o'clock in the morning, they would have already sent cavalry to sneak up here.

Is this rapid advance an imitation of the Emperor's military style?

This is truly unbelievable.

Regardless, after facing the Yan army's sudden attack, the Golt soldiers still engaged in the first round of fighting, and the manner of the fighting was the same as always.

They formed two horizontal lines, with the first line standing and firing their guns in unison, while the second line knelt on one knee and fired their guns in unison.

This is a linear tactic that has been used countless times and is so familiar that it's as simple as drinking water or eating.

However, this time, the volley fire did not gain an advantage. The Yan army cavalry advanced in a line and fired in short bursts from a distance. Although the accuracy of shooting from horseback was reduced, the Golt soldiers were able to stand in a horizontal line and let them fire.

As expected, the Golgar soldiers' volley of fire turned into a line of waiting to be killed.

After several rounds of firefights, the Golt soldiers suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat, abandoning their unfinished task of setting up roadblocks.

Upon seeing the Goth soldiers flee in panic, the Yan soldiers did not pursue them, because a short distance further on was the Macedonian military factory, an important Gothic stronghold. Such a large factory complex must contain a considerable number of troops.

Immediately, the cavalry captain dispatched two cavalrymen back to the main force to report the latest information.

Before long, Qin Ze, who was in the army, received intelligence from the front lines.

"It seems the Macedonian military factory is indeed very important to them... such a rapid deployment..." Qin Ze, riding on his warhorse, stroked his chin and pondered quietly.

Then, he unfolded the map he carried with him, but his gaze fell on the port of Bruno.

During last night's attack on Foster Harbor, he had already received news from the fleet at Brullo Harbor. As he had expected, Brullo Harbor had an exceptionally strong defense system. The fleet had bombarded it for several hours without achieving any results. After all, it was the largest port of the Goths, and naturally, they attached the highest importance to Brullo Harbor.

Besides the defensive fortifications, Qin Ze estimated that there would be a considerable number of troops stationed there.

With that thought in mind, Qin Ze put away the map, and a new plan slowly emerged in his mind.

Then he gave the order:

"Slow down our pace and thoroughly survey the terrain around the Macedonian military factory before proceeding with the next step of our plan."

Immediately, the army slowed its advance and dispatched more cavalry units to infiltrate the Macedonian arms factories from various locations.

Its high mobility will provide a great help in the upcoming battles.

——

"Damn it! It was so fast!"

The Golgar soldiers who had fled back brought back news of their encounter with the Yan army outside the factory. Davis was greatly surprised. He could have imagined that the enemy would target the Macedonian military factory, but he did not expect the enemy to act so quickly.

Within hours of landing, troops had already been dispatched to the area.

Such a rapid tactic of warfare is not good news.

This means either the enemy is overconfident and acting recklessly, or they are confident enough not to worry about Foster Harbour being recaptured.

Judging from their surprise attack on Foster Harbor last night, their commander is by no means a rash person; on the contrary, he is absolutely cunning and treacherous.

Therefore, only one outcome remains: more enemy troops have landed at Foster Harbor. The original combat troops have been rotated out, and a new army is now heading to the Macedonian munitions factory.

"With formidable combat capabilities and reinforcements arriving... this is really bad..."

In the war room, which had been temporarily converted from an office, Davis bit his lip and muttered to himself.

Then, he looked up at an officer beside him and asked, "Tacino, are the personnel all organized?"

“The reorganization isn’t complete yet, sir. The situation is sudden, and time is extremely tight,” Tachino said hesitantly.

Davis knew this would happen, so he didn't criticize them. Instead, he said, "We need to hurry. They are all former soldiers. Although they have retired from the battlefield, in this tense situation, they must become soldiers to defend our position!"

"Yes, sir!"

Davis then pondered, "If the enemy continues their advance, they could reach the factory perimeter in less than an hour, where the defenses are not yet fully in place..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tachino said in a deep voice, "Sir! We will risk our lives to stop the enemy!"

Davis nodded and said, "The people here together are equivalent to three or four divisions, which is not a small force. We don't need to launch an attack; we just need to hold our positions as much as possible."

"Lieutenant General Harris said that another of his squads has gone to Port Brulow, and our reinforcements will definitely be coming soon."

"Whether they go to Foster Harbour or come here, they will encounter the enemy."

At this point, Davis's face turned cold, and he said sharply, "This will be our opportunity!"

"If we fight well, we can cut off their army! We might even be able to encircle and annihilate them!"
