Showdown, my deck is from the East.

Chapter 1293 Glorious Charge
The opponent did not display even the slightest aerial combat skill.

Gultaire believed that a duel between acees should be a knightly duel, but the opponent's ace clearly solved the problem in the hangar.
The Ironclad Cavalry were powerless against the combined weapon systems of the Dengzhou Cavalry.

The Zerg swarm is about to be forced to retreat.

Gultai commanded the swarm of insects to move into the low air, where there was a large amount of anti-aircraft fire that could cover the cavalry's retreat.

The anti-aircraft artillery of the entire ground-based permanent fortifications began to fire wildly at the Dengzhou cavalry. In order to cover the retreat of the Ironclad Cavalry, the swarm's firepower almost formed a barrage, and even the two heavy needle-type anti-aircraft towers mounted on the Titans were firing wildly at this area.

Jingwei is like a bird darting through a storm.

At this moment, the intense interference brought the entire battlefield into complete communication silence and obscured vision, but the Dengzhou cavalrymen tacitly charged into the storm.

There was no communication, no prophecy, and no orders, but the cavalrymen knew before they took to the skies that they were born to charge.

Destroying the enemy aircraft group is only the first step.

In the darkness where all signals were cut off, the air cavalrymen unanimously chose their final mission.

Charge! Charge!
They charged into the torrential rain and annihilated the Golden Cavalry.

By drawing ground-based air defense fire, the canal transport boats gained a very short window of opportunity!
Who says there are no chivalrous duels?

The needle-like barrage was too much for medium-armored cavalry to withstand. 013 and 016 were hit one after another. They did not leave the battlefield. The purple-gold lances pierced the chests of the fleeing enemy cavalrymen. Finally, the golden elixir exploded in the air, emitting light and providing a brief vision for the friendly forces.

The rain poured down.

Lu Chengfei had the best flight control and the heaviest armor. He was at the front, killing enemies while carefully distinguishing every thunderclap in the rainstorm. There were a total of thirty thunderclaps, and the sound and light characteristics indicated 24 enemy cavalry and 6 Dengzhou warriors.

009 Hao Silang

013 Qian Lin
016 Pei Du
"01, timer?"

"Unable to keep track of time."

"Gravity receiver?"

"The gravity coefficient on the left rear side has increased!"

Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

You can't see or hear anything, but the gravity has subtly changed.

It seems the canal officials did not disappoint the brave knights; they seized the opportunity during a lull in the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, and the ship got on track!

At the same moment, the left hull of the Cao-04 aircraft struck a mine. The golden light of the Five Elements Mutual Generation Explosion Countermeasure Array rolled back, blocking most of the explosive force and acid, but it still lost its orbital attitude.

The Cao-04 was a large ship temporarily borrowed from Tongzhou. A fire broke out on its side and spread for hundreds of kilometers, affecting more than eighty cabins.

"Close all main channels on the flanks! Abandon forty airtight compartments! Seal the compartments! Seal the compartments!" The transport officer stood on the bridge, his voice turning from calm to a roar. The flag bearers, who had been conscripted to serve as flag officers, quickly relayed the transport officer's orders, some on swords and others on horseback.

The command is correct.

In essence, insect mines are trigger-activated eggs. Besides the acid-induced explosion, a large number of parasites will inevitably crawl onto the ship.

Huang Long temporarily dispatched a Dengzhou military camp and a Yanzhou transport troop from the Taihang Mountain ship to guard the key passage. The Heavenly Court's Fire-Tipped Spear Formation formed a forest of spears, raining down arrows.

The new standard firearms produced in the Tushita Palace enabled infantry groups to achieve four layers of defense.

The front row combines guns and shields with gravity manipulation, creating an immovable, mountain-like formation.

The mid-level magic long guns with pointed tips provided a barrier; this was Xu Rulin's formation.

The middle and rear rows of muskets fired arc fire over the shoulder, a formation as aggressive as fire.

The final row of Flying Arrows, Demon-Slaying Arrows, and Rocket Launchers, along with large-caliber heavy magical artifacts, forms a formation as swift as the wind.

This is also the first time since Lu Cheng took command that he has eliminated old equipment in one go and achieved a one-time replacement of military equipment.

When attacking Lushun, Lu Cheng didn't care how much money it cost; he just wanted to achieve a technological advantage in equipment at any cost in order to have a chance of winning.

Most of the soldiers from Dengzhou came to the military camp just to get a meal, and their morale was not high. However, Dengzhou had been fighting against the Golden Winged Demon for years, and everyone had lost several people in their families. Not to mention national hatred, everyone had personal grudges.

In fact, the lower-ranking soldiers were not afraid of fighting. Their morale was low before because the world was in chaos, there was no food or pay, and no hope.

Now, even if you risk your life, you might not die; you might even live forever. That's when the anger in your heart comes out.

The canal transport soldiers, carrying guns, rushed from the nearby cabins to the mine-sealed area.

The standard fire-tipped spears produced in the Tushita Palace are usually powered by the soldiers' golden cores. However, after the spiritual world was reclaimed, the new generation of warships and large-scale military equipment have facilities such as the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Hall of Communication with the Gods, and the Incense Storehouse. Soldiers can directly call upon magic from the spiritual space to activate the fire-tipped spears, resulting in unlimited firepower and even greater power!
Soldiers can save more energy for combat, thus having a natural advantage when stationed.

The swarm of golden-winged insects attempted to seize the warships, but the Dengzhou and Yanzhou soldiers, equipped with new gear, handled the situation with ease. On the warships, the terrifying firepower of the gun emplacements forced the insects into a retreat.

Golden Wings' pride and joy in close combat meant he couldn't even get to the front lines.

But it's not all good news.

Within minutes, the original Tongzhou canal transport soldiers and Beijing canal transport soldiers responsible for defending the pipeline area were overwhelmed by the landing force.
After the downfall of the Grand Eunuch, the Tongzhou-Beijing canal transport fell into the hands of Zhu Youxiao. After some reorganization, he sent them to Lushun to handle the canal transport work on a daily basis.

Among them were all sorts of people, including many scions of wealthy and powerful families who had been sent to the Grand Canal Transport Office to escort goods, thinking it would be a lucrative job. Little did they know that they would be caught up in a real war.

At this moment, panic naturally ensued.

A few insects burrowed into the ventilation shafts. Despite their numerical and equipment advantage, the canal transport troops guarded the ship's main passageways, but several sections were breached.
The fire and acid spray spread everywhere.

"Block it! Block it!" a veteran from Tongzhou shouted. "Those in front, don't panic! Those in the back, don't run! If we don't shoot, you'll all die!"

The new recruits wouldn't listen to what the veterans were saying.

They weren't untrained, but the swarm of insects was far more powerful than the swarm of rats. As the hunters' knives easily pierced the composite spirit-patterned steel armor plates of the transport ship, and the overwhelming swarm of insects emerged from all directions, the soldiers' mental defenses collapsed.

In the first round, only scattered gunfire rang out from the back row before the swarm of insects arrived at the front.

Then, the front row, which should have remained unmoved, suddenly became as swift as the wind.
The entire formation collapsed, and cannon fodder overwhelmed the war. The main force, the Golden Winged Blade Armor, activated its Leaping Wings and made a short-range, light-speed dash, easily tearing through the front line of the Canal Transport Office.

The situation is extremely precarious.
