Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 2185 Grassland Blitzkrieg

The guards of the Zhuang family never thought that they would have to defend the castle one day. This castle on the grassland has a history of hundreds of years. The bricks of the wall are covered with moss. It is obvious that it has not experienced bloody battles for many years. There is no trace of blood on the wall.

The prestige alone was enough to protect the castle from attack. But today, it was all going to end. Amid the roar of machinery, the large-caliber artillery deployed its mechanical hoe, and after it was stably mounted on the ground, the gunner began to adjust the shooting parameters.

Soon all the artillery parameters were adjusted, and as the ground troops quickly attacked under the cover of tanks, a blitzkrieg began.

There was no ordinary attack and defense on the walls. The solid rock walls were covered by firepower. After a large number of shells were fired, only the ruins of the walls were left. The defenders in the castle were completely shocked by the scene of the sky-fire meteors falling like raindrops. Those who reacted quickly fled from the castle quickly, while those who reacted slowly were directly buried in the ruins.

The tanks approached quickly. The machine guns on the roofs fired at the ruins, shooting at any enemies that might appear. Street fighting did not break out in the city. Because this small city was no longer worth defending, and the people of the Golden Family were also human beings, and they would choose to flee when they encountered force majeure.

He Cheng never thought that he would have the opportunity to command an army of 200,000 to capture cities. When he was in the underground base, he was just a squadron leader, and even a slave at the beginning. Before completing the breakout, the scale of the military operations he led was no more than a hundred people. After completing the breakout, he won several battles one after another. He contacted some troops that had also broken out. This allowed him to reorganize a team of nearly a thousand people. Now the troops under his command have increased by more than a hundred times. Even in the battles between the Golden Family, a commander like him is probably enough to be called a general.

Fortunately, he was not blinded by the temporary victory and glory. Now he is the leader of the coalition forces, on the one hand, because only the people in the underground base are familiar with the use of these weapons, and on the other hand, because these lackey families dare not reveal their identities. They need to pull the tiger skin to raise the banner, and the underground base that is fighting against the Golden Family Meng directly is a very good tiger skin.

So they are now nominally under the command of the underground base, and the banner they raise is also the banner of the underground alliance. As a general who has only commanded small-scale battles, He Cheng actually doesn't know how to fight this battle. But he remembers that his instructor once taught him that time is the most important thing on the battlefield. Whether it is attacking or defending, as long as the time is tight to a certain extent, the most firepower density and the most troops are concentrated at the same time. It often has a decisive effect.

So after conquering this small town on the edge, he did not let the troops stop to rest. Instead, he loaded the tanks and artillery on the spot, and the personnel only took three days of supplies and continued to go deep into the town group with him. Only a small number of people were left in the city to search for useful supplies, and the logistics troops chased behind the main force, and when they caught up, they would get supplies.

The lightly-equipped main force was moving at a very fast speed. It even advanced faster than the fleeing soldiers. Many of the bankers' fleeing soldiers were captured along the way, and they arrived at the next defensive fortress almost at the same time as the news of the collapse of the marginal town.

Their tactics were the same as before. The defeated soldiers who came to report the news did not even have time to describe how they were defeated. The sound of thousands of cannons firing could be heard outside the city wall.

The density of firepower this time was lower than the last time. Because in the last battle, it was verified how much firepower was needed to break through such a rock wall, and there was no need to continue wasting ammunition. In the case of insufficient logistical supplies, if ammunition was continued to be wasted, it might lead to the legion not having enough firepower in an important battle.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the infantry quickly approached the city wall. They hid behind the tanks and popped out to shoot. In fact, the tanks' cover was not very effective because the enemy's attack was not very accurate at a distance of hundreds of meters. Those who were targeted by the scope were killed on the spot.

After advancing to the town, street fighting soon broke out. This town was much larger than the edge castle just now. Although the defending members were stunned by the explosion, they did not collapse for a while. Seeing that the enemy's weapons had extremely strong power in long-range attacks, they decisively chose to hide in the city with complex terrain to fight.

This did weaken the advantage of long-range weapons to a considerable extent. But the defending side did not have much advantage in being familiar with the terrain, and there were not many people left. Most of those sent into the town were weak, or even ordinary people with no cultivation. The grenades they carried were the most suitable weapons for street fighting.

The battle did not last long. Amid the explosions of grenades, bodies were thrown out of the windows. Although many ordinary people were killed in the process, the extraordinary people who followed behind would quickly make up for it and use the assault rifles in their hands to quickly kill the attackers.

The army, at the cost of a small number of casualties, took less than a day to capture another town of tens of thousands of people, and then continued to advance towards the center of the town.

The logistics troops caught up with the main force during the battle and successfully replenished a wave of ammunition, but by then, the supply line was already a bit long, as there were no good road conditions on the grassland. Even if they relied on huge terrain beasts, it would be very difficult to transport a large amount of military supplies over long distances. The only thing to be thankful for was that this world had space props that could be used as airdrops on the battlefield. During important battles, a wave of supplies could be temporarily transported.

The troops continued to advance forward. In less than a day, they had already reached the place only a hundred kilometers away from the core city of the banker. This was the defense circle of the core city and the last solid fortress of the Golden Family. A large number of fixed castles stood on the grassland, which could support each other. If these castles were short of troops at this moment, most of the elite soldiers were sent to the front line. When they saw 20 troops marching south and approaching the city, even the masters in these solid castles were scared to death.

Fortunately, these castles are different from the ordinary castles in front. Various formations are arranged here. The formation is also profound in this world. Although the most essential part is at the level of immortals, there are also many Gu formations at the mortal level. For example, each of these castles has its own defense formation. Some can raise a shield to block almost all external attacks. Some can summon a large number of undead soldiers to fight to the death with the attacking party. However, in order to achieve effective defense, a large amount of Yuanshi must be consumed. For this reason, a large amount of Yuanshi is stored in each castle. This is also one of the reasons why the major families launched the attack. The Golden Family has accumulated a lot of wealth. If they can grab a wave in the core area of ​​their family, the strength of the major dog-legged families will usher in a qualitative change. When the level is not so high, cultivation depends more on resources. No matter how poor the talent is, as long as there are enough resources, it is not a big problem to pile up to the third and fourth turns.

At this moment, facing these solid fortresses, He Cheng took the initiative to lead the team to stand up. This time they will personally launch the charge and use the unique weapons belonging to the underground base. Compared with those tanks that were hastily made and still need maintenance, the war vehicles they drive that can be transformed into land aircraft are much more reliable, and are a level stronger in terms of speed, firepower, and protection. More importantly, their own combat power.

During the breakout battles, the underground base also summed up a way to fight against extraordinary strong men. When faced with individual strong men dodging bullet attacks, getting close and fighting in close combat, they also developed a set of combat skills to release fatal blows at the moment of intersecting with the enemy.

"Remember, when we rush to the marked line on the battlefield, all troops will release guided rockets together. I know you can't see the status of the front line of the battlefield clearly. It doesn't matter, just release in the direction of the battlefield. It doesn't matter if the rockets may cover us, these are guided warheads. When they are about to fall, we will naturally take over the control of these warheads."

After He Cheng explained how to fight the next battle, he boarded the tank with other comrades and activated the ground effect vehicle mode. He rushed towards the enemy position at a high speed like a high-speed train.

Although the Zhuang family was the defending party, they did not choose to defend the city, but chose to fight outside the city. Although the soldiers who escaped back before did not have time to say too much, they had already learned that the tribe attacking them this time had ultra-long-range weapons. If they hid in the city and did not take the initiative to fight, these ultra-long-range weapons would continue to attack the city from a position they could not reach. Through the mode of continuous consumption, the city would be completely flattened. If they did not take the initiative to attack, it would be a slow death. Now the main force of the family is still far away, and the supplies in the city will definitely not last until the day when the main force returns, and will be bombed into ruins.

In desperation, a dozen masters who barely reached the fourth level of combat power were gathered from various fortresses to form an assault force, leading thousands of Gu Masters to charge towards the enemy. Their goal was to break through the enemy's defenses and destroy the ultra-long-range weapons in the rear. Without these things, they could attack or defend in the city.

However, just as they left the city, they were met with a round of artillery bombardment. Fortunately, all those who came were experts, and even when facing long-range sniper attacks, many of them were able to dodge in advance through intuition, and many who could not dodge were not killed by a single shot. In addition, a large number of wild beast cannon fodder provided cover in front to block the enemy's gun line, allowing them to charge out successfully.

However, what they had to face next was a torrent of steel. The tanks in the back had not yet rushed up, but the ground-effect vehicles in front were already close at hand. With the high speeds of both sides, it would only take a moment for them to enter the stage of close combat.

At this moment, the soldiers who were driving the ground effect vehicles all looked dazed.

In the eyes of the enemy, they were seeking death, but in their eyes, the enemy was also seeking death.

When the two sides were less than a hundred meters apart, there were bursts of piercing whistles in the sky. The Gu Masters who thought they were about to destroy the enemy's assault troops were shocked to see bright spots of light in the sky. They were rockets spewing flames. The guidance ability of these warheads was very poor, and they could only make very limited maneuvers in the air, but their number was very large.

At this moment, these rockets, which originally had extremely chaotic flight trajectories in the air, seemed to suddenly come alive when they flew over the ground-effect vehicle, and began terminal acceleration, while smashing into the ground like sledgehammers.

On He Cheng's holographic eyepiece, key targets were marked one by one. At the same time, there were hundreds of missiles in the sky under his control. Different targets would be attacked by different missiles. According to his calculations, almost all missiles would land at the same time, which means that even if there was enough defense to resist missiles, it would have to withstand multiple missile attacks at the same time. This was the importance of time on the battlefield that the instructor had told him before. As long as the instantaneous firepower density was large enough, it could penetrate almost any defense line.

The rest of the soldiers saw a similar scene. They marked key targets on their tactical eyepieces and communicated with each other, ensuring that different people attacked different targets so that their firepower would not be wasted.

In an instant, countless missiles fell, and the ground effect vehicle's charge did not slow down at all. Because there was almost no obstruction, under the high-speed sprint, all the enemies in front that might block it were destroyed in the explosion.

When they completed the tactical penetration and flew to the rear of the enemy's position to slow down and turn, the enemy's formation had already collapsed. Almost none of the rockets that had just cruised in the air like flowers from the sky were wasted. All of them hit the enemy's important nodes. At this time, there were only some unorganized stragglers left in the legion, and the subsequent infantry-tank coordinated forces arrived almost at the same time. The machine guns and artillery on the tanks roared, covering the infantry to snipe the remaining targets. Faced with this fierce and precise attack, the hollow Golden Family at this time had no power to resist at all. After the only mobile force was cleared, those seemingly solid castles were nothing more than paper tigers.
