Hammer Fall Mountain, on the defensive position of the Heavenly Sword God Sect that the Alan Hill Empire just captured, the main force of the Alan Hill Empire is unfolding.

Countless armored vehicles ran over the open space full of fallen trees, and in a corner beside it, puppets were burying the bodies of those killed in battle by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The roar of the launch overwhelmed the sound of the wind, the tank's tracks crushed the soft soil, and the artillery that had already begun to set up its position slowly raised its slender barrel.

Their goal is the Holy Church City. The original continuous Holy Church Mountain has collapsed, and now the mechanized troops of the Alan Hill Empire are unfolding in the broken valley.

The UPIA-1 mecha took heavy steps and walked beside the 99D main battle tank. Armored grenadiers armed with 10mm assault rifles stared at the city in the distance that seemed close at hand.

"Boom!" The sky battleship floating above everyone's heads is pouring ammunition towards the enemy's position in the distance.

The 500mm caliber artillery roared, and the enemy's position began to shake violently under the bombardment of the car-like shells.

A puff of thick smoke shot up into the sky, and at the edge of the huge crater, the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect lay there in disorder, obviously not breathing.

To the despair of the defenders of the Heavenly Sword Sect, all this was just the beginning. Just when everyone thought they saw hell, more intensive artillery fire ransacked the entire line of defense.

The cannonballs fell down like raindrops, hit the ground almost at the same time, and stirred up dust almost at the same time.

Shrapnel flew across the entire battlefield, there were screams everywhere, and the sound of shell explosions that drowned out the screams was everywhere.

The self-propelled artillery that fires with different ballistics can almost perfectly land three salvos of shells at the same time. This technology is not a big deal for modern artillery. The artillery of the Ireland Hill Empire has long begun to use this tactic.

The first round of artillery strikes is always the most effective, and the enemy will hide and hide after a while - and the shells that fell in the first round, everyone can only simply lie down.

Hundreds of artillery shells landed at the same time, causing huge damage to the defensive troops of the Heavenly Sword Sect. They died one after another under the cover of the artillery fire, and their bodies were covered by the scattered dust.

When the artillery fire finally stopped, the main battle tanks of the Alan Hill Empire crushed up like this.

Completely different from the M4 tanks driven by those puppets, the Type 99 main battle tank of the Alan Hill Empire is more flexible and has more terrifying firepower.

The ballistic computer and the hunting and destroying system cooperate with each other, so that the tanks of the Alan Hill Empire have a hit rate of more than 90% in the first shot. With the grenade, the killing effect on the swordsman is very powerful.

What made those swordsmen even more daunting was the almost invincible humanoid monster in heavy armor! Those UIPA-1 heavy mechas with golden eagle emblems printed on their shoulders are simply invincible in the crowd.

Flying swords can't penetrate the steel plates of these mechs to protect themselves with direct attacks, and they can easily expose themselves to more severe blows when using magic weapons. The poor fellows of the Heavenly Sword Sect who are stationed on the ground find that they are not at the same level as their opponents at all. level.

They used to think they were on the fifth floor, overlooking the enemies on the first floor. But now they find that although they are on the fifth floor, the enemy is in the stratosphere...

Burrison put down his binoculars, and looked away from the enemy's position where there was basically only thick smoke in the distance.

He looked at the adjutant beside him, and asked, "Have the follow-up troops arrived at the designated location on time?"

"Yes! They arrived 2 minutes earlier." The adjutant replied with a smile: "The enemy army is retreating, and their two wings are shrinking rapidly. I don't know if they are breaking up or gathering towards the holy city."

"If they want to gather their troops, it's the fat that will be delivered to our mouths!" Burrison smiled,

Walking to the front of the map, he pointed to the positions of the troops on the two wings and said, "Let the troops on the two wings continue to attack! Use pincers to encircle the holy city!"

"Tell the 3rd Division of the Expeditionary Army to bypass the holy city and attack directly towards Cambridge! Within 24 hours, I want them to appear near Cambridge!" Burrison tapped on the map and ordered.

"Okay! Commander!" The adjutant smiled and stood at attention to salute, and then went to convey the commander's order.

Above their heads, a new round of bombardment began. The sky battleships lined up one by one, and all the gun barrels on the five battleships had been aimed at the targets on the ground.

During this volley, countless flames spewed out of the black muzzle, and the automatic smoke extractor made thick smoke spew out of the barrel, spreading in the sky, like a thin layer of clouds, covering the sky A fleet of warships.

The dull sound of gunfire made Burrison feel a strong sense of urgency. He wanted to assault Cambridge within 24 hours, and also pull out the nail of the Holy City within 24 hours. pressurized.

"It depends on whether those idiots from the Heavenly Sword Sect cooperate or not." He thought to himself.

At the same moment, the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect stationed on the road between Hammer Falling Mountain and Shengjiao City were retreating desperately.

No one can stop their retreat, because they know that their colleagues behind them are retreating, and they will all be left as cannon fodder.

It definitely doesn't feel good to be abandoned, not to mention that they have to face enemies that are countless times stronger than them.

Although there were still some people insisting, most of the swordsmen were retreating. They gave up the line of defense they were supposed to be stationed at, and threw them to their fellow soldiers behind them.

In this way, the defeat along the way allowed the Seventh Elder to harvest more than 20,000 disciples who fled from various places in the Shengjiao City. These people joined the troops guarding the holy city - because there are seven elders sitting in the guard, they dare not retreat without authorization...

Now, there are about 100,000 wounded in Shengjiao City, and there are almost 40,000 defenders, which can be regarded as "strong soldiers and horses".

And those who attacked these swordsmen were the main forces of the Alan Hill Empire. There were only 3 divisions of the heavy armored grenadiers, more than 60,000 troops!

If you count the coordinated combat troops of the puppets, the Alan Hill Empire has more than 100,000 troops, and it has also strengthened the sky battleships and various heavy equipment.

The combat power of the two sides is not at the same level at all, even if there are masters like the Seventh Elder sitting in charge, it is still the same.

After all, although the Seventh Elder sits in the Holy Church City, it is not that there are no experts on the side of the Lovely Landhill Empire...
