Chapter 641: The Radish Army
Western Yanzhou.
After listening to the generals' reports, a smile finally appeared on Ren Zhengqing's face, which had been gloomy for a long time.
"Very good. The Lin Group is unstable and its foundation is not deep. Now is a good time to attack. Once we occupy Changshan County and obtain their technology, we will no longer have to fear the Imperial Army."
He glanced at the map on the table. The red color representing Changshan County occupied a large area in the central and southern parts of the empire, which was nearly one-sixth of the empire's area.
The smile turned into a sneer.
"The Great Elder wants to drive the tiger to devour the wolf. They will regret it."
"Ge Guanglin, Ge Guangpei, the entire army is on the move! Head straight for Changshan County!"
All the generals said in unison: "Yes! Chief!"
——
The army of Ren Zhengqing Group advanced quickly. They still adopted a dense advance formation, thinking that they could repel the army of Changshan County like last time.
But this time, the Changshan County Mecha Corps did not attack from the front, but dispersed into hundreds of battle groups of varying sizes, the largest having thousands of people and the smallest having only a few hundred, and launched an attack on them along the entire front.
These soldiers in iron armor no longer fought dumb or hard battles with them, but made full use of their flexible mobility to attack their positions and raid their weak points.
The exoskeleton armor has a regular moving speed of 80 yards and a burst speed of 120 yards. It can move in any terrain, and it is a small target with high concealment. It can ambush on the roadside and launch a surprise attack when the enemy passes by.
This was not an ordinary ambush, it was like hundreds of light tanks suddenly jumped out of the haystack and attacked them.
Without heavy tanks and artillery clusters, this impact would be fatal to ordinary soldiers.
The steel brothers charged directly into the enemy's face with large shields. The cover was useless. Tanks and artillery became scrap metal after getting close. But the steel brothers were not like that. Even tanks could not withstand the 20mm machine gun shooting at their faces.
After the fight, he ran, crossing the mountains and hills at a speed of 80 yards, and disappeared in an instant.
Nothing can catch up with it except fighter planes.
But the number of fighter jets is limited, and the enemy also has individual air defense firepower, so the fighter jets cannot act recklessly.
Ren Zhengqing's army's advance was soon hindered.
To make matters worse, the two large robots of Changshan County also implemented the same tactics. They moved more freely on the battlefield, exchanging energy for their ammunition and armored weapons.
The battle losses quickly became overwhelming.
When the news was passed back to the command center, Ren Zhengqing responded immediately. He ordered the entire army to attack, first occupying Danyangdu, the capital of Dongqinzhou, and then using large cities as strongholds to carry out urban warfare.
As long as the group's rear is transferred to Dongqinzhou, they can actually occupy Dongqinzhou, and then destroy Changshan County and wipe out their lair.
My hometown is gone, and no matter how fast I run, it will be like water without a source and will soon dry up.
Ren Zhengqing has ample experience in home exchange.
Even the Great Elder suffered a lot from his tactics of changing homes.
Ren Zhengqing's army accelerated its advance, and Guo Feng immediately realized their strategy.
This undoubtedly hit their soft spot. The mecha army did not have unlimited supplies. Soldiers needed to replace the batteries in their armor every twelve hours of fighting.
Without new batteries, the exoskeleton armor is just a piece of immobile scrap metal.
Danyang City is their largest logistics base, and a large number of new and old batteries are transported and exchanged through the railway system here.
If Danyang is taken down, their supplies will not be able to keep up.
Guo Feng immediately contacted Qin Luoshuang and asked them to do their best to intercept the enemy's vanguard. He also ordered Yang Jiewei's army to assist them in the battle, and Xu Feili's army to attack from the side in an attempt to cut off the enemy.
Wang Zhengwu's Legion and He Shangsheng's Legion were established to continue fighting freely, while Fang Dashan's Legion took a detour to attack the enemy forces in Xiyanzhou.
This war strategy achieved good results. As the battle line lengthened and deepened, Ren Zhengqing's army had more and more flaws. The head and tail of the battle formation could not take care of each other, and the heavy firepower could not cover the entire army. The advancement of the vanguard was greatly hindered.
Just when the war was at a stalemate, satellite communications were suddenly restored in the rear.
It has not only communication functions, but also all satellite functions, including positioning, navigation, geodesy, meteorology, and even military reconnaissance.
Especially for military reconnaissance, the satellite station in the rear directly took a photo with an accuracy of less than ten meters and sent it over, on which the enemy's armored deployment, artillery deployment, and even personnel could be clearly seen.
The moment he saw this photo, Guo Feng felt as if his heart had stopped beating, he didn't even need to breathe, and he could ascend to heaven right on the spot.
He couldn't understand where a military reconnaissance satellite of this level came from.
Who will give them permission?
Who will help him launch?
As an old man who had experienced many wars, Guo Feng knew very well what it meant.
This is the unilateral battlefield transparency that all generals dream of!
It was like a dream, Guo Feng could hardly believe it was real.
Just then, a phone call came.
When Guo Feng picked up the phone, he heard it was County Chief Lin.
"Hello, is this Guo Feng? The satellite has been restored, didn't you know?"
Guo Feng suppressed his excitement and replied repeatedly: "I know, I know."
"I've enhanced the spy satellite, but the accuracy isn't as good as I'd hoped. If you can't see clearly, ask me and I'll provide more comprehensive battlefield information."
It really is County Governor Lin!
Guo Feng was filled with joy and replied repeatedly, "No, no, this accuracy is already very high and is completely sufficient."
"Oh... well, don't force yourself. Tell me if you have any difficulties."
Guo Feng felt tears well up in his eyes and choked up as he said, "Don't worry, County Chief Lin, I, I will definitely not let you down."
"Uh... then do your best. Also, your mecha is ready. I'll deliver it to you soon."
There were so many surprises that Guo Feng was speechless for a moment.
However, Lin Wen had already hung up the phone, as if it was just a routine notification.
Perhaps, this is the legendary heroic spirit.
Guo Feng felt as if he had been enlightened, as if he had been pulled out of a nightmare, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
Anyone who could marry County Chief Lin would be so happy.
So enviable...
——
As soon as satellite communications were restored, the combat capability of the entire mecha corps increased sharply.
Everyone communicates and shares information, and while fighting freely, they can also cooperate with and cover each other.
The haze of the battlefield seemed to disappear in an instant.
Information such as the enemy's location, how many troops they have, how they are deployed, and how strong they are, were constantly transmitted from the headquarters, providing detailed basis for their every action.
Guo Feng maintained the original tactics unchanged, but on its basis, he made better use of favorable factors such as mutual cooperation and optimized offense, and reduced unfavorable factors such as blind action.
Ren Zhengqing's army fell into even greater trouble.
But there is no turning back now. The situation in the north is not optimistic. We must move south as soon as possible, otherwise the strategy of changing homes will fall behind.
In the front-line command post.
Ren Zhengqing's top confidant, Ge Guanglin, said anxiously, "Captain, the main obstacle to our vanguard is the two mechas from Changshan County. They are like sharp knives, always tearing through our lines at the first opportunity to cover the soldiers in the rear and launch attacks. They absorb too much firepower, resulting in heavy losses every time we suffer."
Ge Guangpei, the second confidant, also said, "Chief, their protective force field can protect them from harm. When they run out of energy, they go back to recharge. It's like exchanging electricity for our lives."
"The Pure Blood Holy Spirit must be activated..."
Ren Zhengqing's face darkened. This was originally a secret weapon used to deal with the King's Envoy.
But there seems to be no way now.
"Prepare for special operations."
Ren Zhengqing stood up and walked towards the basement.
"We must eliminate all obstacles and capture East Qinzhou."
All the generals bowed and said, "Yes! Chief, our army will win. The Pure Blood Holy Spirit will be immortal!"
Ren Zhengqing's army began to advance at an accelerated pace regardless of everything.
The pressure on Qin Luoshuang and Li Linyue increased dramatically. What was worse was that some special colonial warriors appeared on the front line. They were huge in size, had strong defense capabilities, and had certain recovery abilities.
He resisted their attacks and entangled with the mecha.
Qin Luoshuang and Li Linyue's battle results were rapidly decreasing, and without their attacks to tear the front lines, the interception capability of the rear legion also began to decline.
"what to do?"
The burning battlefield was littered with smoke-emitting debris, the roar continued, and a fierce battle was raging in the distance.
The Strike Princess flew over, and its large crystal shield drew an arc, knocking away a hammer attack from behind by a colonial warrior.
The skillful movements showed that Li Linyue was no longer the same person as before.
Qin Luoshuang swung her sword in her backhand, and the high-frequency sword cut through the colonial warrior's arm like butter, but he suddenly jumped back, grabbed the broken arm, and knelt on the ground.
Countless mercury-like granulations on the broken arm were wriggling wildly. Qin Luoshuang knew that if he didn't attack again, he would soon recover.
But just as he was about to raise the electromagnetic cannon, more colonial warriors rushed over.
Li Linyue slashed diagonally, and the diamond sword drew a bright arc, forcing them away. At the same time, she struck with her shield in the opposite hand, knocking away another attacker.
boom!
With a loud bang, the electromagnetic cannon that had found a gap was finally fired. The shells, traveling at thirty times the speed of sound, plowed a long track on the ground, and the huge wind pressure blew away all the debris on both sides.
The electromagnetic cannon hit the colonial warrior directly, smashing him into pieces.
However, just like before, fragments fell to the ground, and the silver-white original body slowly gathered together, dragging flesh and blood.
Just a moment later, it came back to life again.
"Xiao Lin, this won't work."
Qin Luoshuang saw that the mecha's battery power was less than 15% remaining and knew that they had to readjust their strategy.
"I'm ordering the soldiers to retreat. We need to re-strategize. You will cover our retreat."
"good."
Li Linyue answered, and suddenly with a thrust, the pure white robot moved like a ghost. The diamond sword was raised like lightning, directly piercing an enemy who attacked from the side, and then pulled it back with the backhand, tearing him into two.
The Strike Liberty retreated, and the Strike Princess took a step forward, and the attack became more fierce.
Ge Guanglin, the commander at the front, shouted, "They're trying to escape! Go, go! Pure-blooded Holy Spirits, entangle them! Tank units, artillery units, attack with all your might!"
Deafening gunfire roared, and countless explosions lit up the two large robots and nearly a hundred colonial warriors.
But the pure-blooded holy spirits are colonial warriors specially trained by Ren Zhengqing, and they are not afraid of death at all.
Neither Strike Freedom nor Strike Princess has infinite durability, and the Electric Barrier consumes a lot of energy and cannot be used continuously.
Seeing that the giant robot, which had been wreaking havoc for a long time, was in trouble, Ge Guanglin raised his megaphone and laughed loudly, "Surrender! Hahahaha, there are only two of you. How can you defeat ninety-nine pure-blooded holy spirits? Elder Ren is invincible! You are doomed to lose!"
"Who said there were only two of us?"
A louder voice came from the sky.
Accompanied by a loud bang.
A mecha covered in red landed.
It looks unattractive, stupid, big and thick, but its sturdy body has a greater oppressive force. The big knife in its hand is forty meters long, several times longer than the body of the aircraft, and looks very scary.
No one was more surprised than Qin Luoshuang.
"Xia? Is that you?"
A familiar voice came from the red robot.
"Hahaha, of course it's me! You never thought, Qin, that I'd also have a day to go to the battlefield!"
"...Lin Wen built the mecha for you so quickly? Have you been trained yet?"
"Of course, my talent is top-notch, no worse than yours. Hehe, my chance to turn things around has finally arrived! Qin, your days of bullying me are coming to an end..."
boom!
A huge explosion sounded, and a colonial warrior attacked Xia Xiaoxiang from behind, knocking her red horn to the ground.
"summer!"
Ge Guanglin laughed: "Chatting during a war is not a good habit, Pure Blood Holy Spirit, quickly destroy them! Changshan County's technology is all ours!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, another larger robot fell down. It kicked the colonial warrior who attacked Xia Xiaoxiang away.
"Xiao Qin, Xiao Xia, Xiao Lin, eliminate the enemy first. We can discuss the specific reasons later."
Hearing this familiar voice, Qin Luoshuang and Li Linyue were both very surprised.
"This, this is Miss Yun?"
"Qingshui, is that you?"
Ge Guanglin sneered, "They're just four robots. No matter how many come, they'll all die in front of the Pure Blood Holy Spirit! Artillery unit, attack with all your might!"
Boom boom boom boom.
Seven large robots fell from the sky like dumplings.
They have different appearances, some carry big swords, some carry black swords, and some hold huge guns, but they are all generally big, black and thick, and their oppressive power is amazing.
They turned on the loudspeaker and spoke in unison.
"Who told you we only have four?"
Qin Luoshuang and Li Linyue were so surprised that they were speechless.
"Fang Dashan, Wang Zhengwu, He Shangsheng..."
"Established, Xu Feili, Yang Jiewei, Guo Feng..."
"You all came?"
Chengli manipulated his pure yellow Zaku, turned around, raised his hands and bent his knees, doing a very cool half-kneeling gesture:
"The seven guardians under the command of Master Lin Wen of Changshan Commandery have been ordered to guard Her Royal Highness the Princess, His Royal Highness the Chief of Staff, as well as Miss Yun and Miss Xia. Master Lin has specifically instructed me to ensure the safety of these four girls, or I will bring my head before you."
Xia Xiaoxiang snorted.
"You're talking like I'm part of Emperor Lin's harem. I don't want to be part of anyone's harem."
Guo Feng shouted, "Everyone, stop chatting and eliminate the enemy first..."
Xia Xiaoxiang said, "Honest man, shut up."
Guo Feng had never met such a person before, and his face turned green. Li Linyue shouted, "Guo Feng, you are on the front line of the battlefield. Who is commanding the rear?"
This question was very sharp, but the seven Dharma protectors just laughed and were not worried at all.
Qin Luoshuang came back to her senses and asked: "Who is in charge of the headquarters?"
Fang Dashan smiled and said, "Of course, County Chief Lin is in charge personally."
Wang Zhengwu brandished his sword and said excitedly, "Otherwise, how would we dare to go to the front lines? Haha, my Five Tiger Soul-Breaking Sword has found its place again."
He Shangsheng sneered: "Old Wang, I, He Shangsheng, the Black Knife, am not inferior to others. How about we give it a try?"
Xu Feili couldn't stop laughing: "Hahahaha! I have a mecha too, hahahahaha!"
Yang Jiewei said angrily, "How about you kill the enemy first and then laugh?"
At this moment, a huge sound suddenly came from the sky.
"What are you doing? Come on, they've all run away!"
Everyone came to their senses then. They found that the enemy general Ge Guanglin had led his troops away at some point. The so-called invincible pure-blooded holy spirit ran faster than anyone else.
"It seems that this thing is not immortal..."
Qin Luoshuang muttered something and looked up. There was nothing in the sky. She didn't know how Lin Wen's voice came from.
"Kill—"
Chengli shouted and chased after him with a knife in hand. The mechas also quickly began to chase after him.
The sight of these eleven mechas galloping across the earth is spectacular.
The only thing that was a bit inconsistent was that Xia Xiaoxiang, who was holding a forty-meter-long sword, fell down after running only two steps, and the forty-meter-long sword almost pierced Qin Luoshuang's light wings.
"What are you doing? Xia!"
"Hey, accidentally, accidentally, ouch!"
The red horn just stood up and fell again. Unfortunately, this time he scratched the big white legs of Li Linyue's Strike Princess.
Li Linyue was very angry: "Xiaoxiang! Can you drive?"
"My foot slipped..."
"What do you mean by slipping? I don't think you know how to do it. I'll have Lin Wen lock you up and not let you go to the battlefield until you've practiced well."
"It's just a scratch, is it necessary?"
"It's necessary."
"Humph, so stingy, Lin Wen won't care about me, he loves me the most."
"Oh? How does it hurt you? Tell me."
“Hehehehehehehe…”
"Xia Xiaoxiang, shut up!"
"I haven't said anything yet..."
"Shut up! Steady your steps!"
Just like that, amidst laughter and joy, Ge Guanglin's vanguard troops were completely wiped out.
Lin Wen mobilized two large groups and cooperated with eleven large robots to wipe them out.
After being killed countless times, the "Pure Blood Holy Spirit"'s recovery speed slowed down significantly, and it was taken in by the special measures team and brought back to Changshan County.
The annihilation of the vanguard troops caused a huge chain reaction. Lin Wen's external command method fully demonstrated the advantages of the mecha corps. Ren Zhengqing's army itself was full of loopholes because of its excessive advancement. The precise and fierce attacks caused these loopholes to expand rapidly.
When the loophole becomes large enough, the entire chain quickly collapses.
The army of Changshan County was unstoppable and pushed all the way from East Qinzhou to West Yanzhou.
However, just as they were getting ready to attack Xiyanzhou, they discovered that it had already been occupied by the imperial army.
All the generals were indignant, and even the usually calm Qin Luoshuang wanted to start a war, but Lin Wen, contrary to his usual behavior, silently asked them to withdraw without any explanation.
——
Shenjing.
The Great Elder took Ren Zhengqing's chess piece off the chessboard and threw it into the trash can.
Bang.
Another chess piece falls.
