Doctor, I'm really strong!

Just as Grand Tutor led the main force of the Yan army to retreat towards Meteor Dragon Gorge, a loud explosion rang out and countless cannonballs rained down on the Yan army's marching column, thus beginning the Battle of Meteor Dragon Gorge.

The first to unleash their power were the barrage-class land-based ships, their main guns spitting out scorching flames as they launched 410mm shells at the enemy forty kilometers away. At the same time, a large number of Il-2 attack aircraft began to awaken the sleeping minds of the Yan army, and consequently close their eyes.

The scene before them was all too familiar; they had suffered the same fate back in Steelgrad.

However, their situation is slightly different from that of Steelgrad. In the face of the chaotic battles in the city where enemies and friends are mixed together, land-based ships and heavy artillery cannot play a significant role. But now, the relationship between enemies and friends is clearly defined.

Meng Wu, the leader of the Yanlong Army, snorted coldly and ordered, "Activate the Tianqing System."

As the order was given, a light blue barrier enveloped a large area of ​​the Yan army, withstanding the overwhelming artillery fire and preventing the Il-2 from launching an effective attack. Even five tons of aerial bombs could not break through the seemingly thin barrier.

Talulah, who was stationed at the front-line command post, saw the pale blue energy shield through her binoculars.

"That's the Sky-Piercing System mentioned in the report. Order the artillery to increase the bombardment. That thing's defenses definitely have a limit. It's just a tortoise shell. Smash it!"

Under Liu Jiuli's influence, the Terra Red Army has been speeding down the road of firepower insufficiency phobia. In their view, there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved by equivalents. If it cannot be solved, then increase the dosage!

The barrage of bullets pounded against the energy shield. Although the Skybreaker System appeared unchanged, as the flagship supporting the system, all the displays on it were under high pressure and were about to break through the threshold.

But Meng Wu, as the leader, simply gave the order: "Activate Thunder."

A powerful energy field spread out, and the next second, countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

Almost at the same time, in the northern shogunate of the eastern country, a young girl suddenly stood up.

"This feeling... could it be... that it's already over? But..."

However, this feeling came and went quickly, like an illusion. But the girl was absolutely certain that it was not an illusion, but a real and tangible reality. "That direction is the northwest of Yan Kingdom, right? It's necessary to investigate."

Section 233: The Fifth Nine Days of Winter, it's the Fifth Nine Days of Winter everywhere!

(Second update, (～￣▽￣)～)

Almost at the same time, Yueying's voice suddenly rang in Liu Jiuli's mind.

"Warning: Extraterrestrial energy reaction detected, location marked."

Liu Jiuli, who was flipping through the documents, paused for a moment and immediately asked, "Yueying, what's going on?"

Moonshadow replied, "It's energy that doesn't belong to this world. To put it simply, it's like encountering a crossover event while playing a game."

"Invaders from another world."

Liu Jiuli frowned deeply. Encountering such a thing at this juncture was extremely distressing, and what was even more distressing was that it was happening in Meteor Dragon Gorge, where a great battle was taking place.

Moonshadow explained, "They are not invaders, but energy from another world. They are essentially members of the extraordinary energy system, but because they were born in different worlds, their product codes are different."

Liu Jiuli immediately stood up: "No, I have to go and take a look."

Moonshadow resolutely objected and blocked his way in a physical form.

"Jiuli, don't forget you are the leader. The community cannot afford to lose even one of you. You have a responsibility to more people!"

If it were any other reason, Liu Jiuli would have simply pushed Yueying aside, but now he couldn't take a single step.

This is the truth. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, the current community cannot afford to lose itself. If it loses itself, the community loses itself. When any country is first established, the founding leaders are very important. Their lives, in a sense, determine how quickly the country can stabilize.

"Send a drone over to scout!"

No matter how anxious Liu Jiuli was, this was all he could do. Things were different now than when he went to Yan Kingdom to wander around. Back then, it was just a formality, but now it was a life-or-death war. If Yan Kingdom found out about Liu Jiuli, they would have to fight him to the death. Everyone knew what Liu Jiuli meant to the community now.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Liu Jiuli were to die now, the community would immediately disintegrate.

There's no way around it; you simply can't find someone of his caliber to command respect, whether in terms of prestige or strength.

At this moment, on the front line, after a devastating attack, the community's air force was no longer able to fight, and the remaining battles could only rely on the land-based naval forces.

However, the bombardment did not stop. The flagship of the Yanlong Army, the Emperor Land Ship, was located in the center of the entire Yanlong Army. Only from here could it ensure that the energy shield could protect all the Yanlong Army soldiers as much as possible. As for those outside that could not be protected, well, that was just bad luck for them.

In war, there are always sacrifices; these are necessary sacrifices.

However, this energy shield is not a 360-degree all-round defense with no blind spots. Its defensive structure is more like an umbrella. If you attack from below, the shield will be useless.

Therefore, the Red Army's land-based naval forces launched an attack.

According to the battle plan, the land-based naval forces launched an attack on the Yan army from both sides and directly in front, surrounding them from three sides and leaving one side open.

The gap is in the direction that Yan Jun's main force previously attacked, which means that they are getting further and further away from Meteor Dragon Gorge. The fact that the encirclement is not completely sealed off will leave the enemy in a dilemma between fighting to the death and trying to escape.

Considering the morale level displayed by the feudal army during the previous battle of Irongrad, they are prone to collapse under these circumstances, resulting in a situation where orders are given but not transmitted. Once the command system collapses, the battle can be considered won.

But now the enemy has brought out weapons beyond their capabilities. Even the best tactics are useless against nuclear bombs. But the heroic offensive will not stop because of this, because this victory represents too much.

Most importantly, everyone knows that the community can afford to lose, but what about your Yan Kingdom?

"For the motherland, Hurrah!"

The charge began, and at the same time, intense electromagnetic suppression covered the entire battlefield.

The barrage of bullets continued to pierce the sky. Many reconnaissance soldiers risked great danger to infiltrate the front line and then guide cruise missiles to bombard the enemy. Everyone believed that the shield had its limits.

Indeed, facing such a demoralized and fearless enemy, even Meng Wu, a veteran of many battles, was somewhat nervous. The quality of the enemy soldiers had exceeded his comprehension.

Meng Wu was not surprised that the other side could train soldiers like the Yanlong Army.

But Meng Wu couldn't understand why every soldier on the other side was like the Yanlong Army.

What kind of terrifying Originium Arts is this that can make people so terrifying? Even hypnosis and brainwashing can't do that. Or has the community made some huge breakthrough in the spiritual application of Originium Arts?

He certainly couldn't understand these things now, but he still had confidence in the Yanlong Army.

"Target: enemy landship, fire!"

The elite land-based warships of the Yanlong Army opened fire, and the first volley destroyed at least twenty Type 59 ships on their way to rendezvous. The shockwaves from the explosions even capsized nearby Type 59 ships.

The super land-based fleet, built up over a thousand years, is the foundation of Yan Kingdom's nation-building and the cornerstone of its strength. They are the pride of Yan Kingdom's civil and military achievements. Even the Ursus Empire, which is militarily powerful and leads the way in military strength, can only suffer defeat when facing the Yan Dragon Army. However, what happened next shocked Meng Wu so much that he couldn't even hold his binoculars steady.

Type 59, Type 59, Type 59, Type 59 everywhere. From the front, from the flanks, from the plains, from the mountains, as far as the eye could see, there were Type 59 land-based warships. They charged towards the Yan army in a wedge formation, advancing relentlessly.

"Fire! Fire! Full power! Use every weapon at your disposal!"

Meng Wu was starting to panic. Although the enemy consisted of light land-based ships, there were just too many of them. What was even more absurd was that the main guns of those ordinary Yan Kingdom heavy land-based ships were unable to penetrate their frontal armor.

No, the key point is that land-based ships usually engage in side-to-side combat, not a head-on charge. You're operating land-based ships, not tanks! Please settle this using the tactics of land-based ships!

Meng Wu's thoughts were certainly beyond the Red Army's comprehension. They only knew one thing: close the distance, get within 500 meters, then outflank and surround the enemy, and fire at their weaknesses!

Of course, we can still fire at this distance on the Type 59. We can't deal with the elite land-based ships of the Yanlong Army, but the other standard models are not so indestructible.

With the roar of the twin and some triple 155mm main guns (the reason for having twin and triple turrets was mainly to test the cost-effectiveness of the two turrets on the Type 59, with twin turrets being the mainstream), although this caliber is not outstanding among land-based ships, it is terrifying that it can fire 20 rounds per minute when mounted on a light land-based ship.

The outermost Yan army land-based ships were instantly blown to smithereens by armor-piercing incendiary bombs. The Type 59 also had its own countermeasures against heavy or larger land-based ships that were completely impenetrable.

"Incendiary bomb loading!"

Chapter 234: Talulah is powerless

(Update delivered, (～￣▽￣)～)

It must be admitted that incendiary bombs are a very magical type of bomb. Although they cannot cause effective damage to the main structure of a land-based ship, they can make the people on board suffer.

Furthermore, vulnerable equipment in the bridge area, such as observation and aiming systems, radar systems, and command systems, could easily lose their accuracy due to the raging fire. When facing targets several kilometers away, such errors would undoubtedly render shells ineffective.

Even disregarding all of these factors, using flames and smoke to suffocate the enemy and make them unable to open their eyes is also a tactic.

Seeing his own land-based ships reduced to ashes, Meng Wu immediately ordered: "Activate the Rain God's power."

Moments later, a torrential downpour suddenly began from the sky without warning, quickly extinguishing the flames from the incendiary bomb.

This is clearly a problem. The flames created by incendiary bombs are not so easily extinguished by water. This sudden rain must be problematic. And the biggest problem is in the middle of the Yan army's main force, on the Emperor-class Yan Emperor.

Naming this land-based warship after the title of the Yan Emperor, coupled with its enormous size comparable to a mobile fortress, signifies its extraordinary nature.

The Sky-Piercing System's auxiliary functions are indeed very powerful, but its energy consumption is also quite staggering. Therefore, Meng Wu decisively ordered: "Move towards Meteor Dragon Gorge and have all troops converge on us."

At this time, the Grand Tutor was in charge of the deployment of the main force of the Yan Army on the periphery. Since the Yan Dragon Army was the direct force of the Yan Emperor, the only person who could give orders to them was the Yan Emperor. As the current military commander of the Yan Army, he only had the right to make suggestions to the Yan Dragon Army, not the right to give orders. Fortunately, Meng Wu, the leader of the Yan Dragon Army, knew very well what he had to do and gave clear and specific orders, which made the cooperation between them very smooth.

Seeing that the enemy was about to retreat in groups, the Red Army's land-based naval fleet launched an attack, immediately maximizing the output of its engines.

The greatest pressure right now comes from the Red Army's land-based naval formation blocking their path, and they are also the most numerous, with over five hundred Type 59 ships deployed in this direction, and ten Barrage-class ships are launching barrages of fire at this location, with shells and missiles almost never stopping.

However, due to the existence of the Sky-Piercing System and the attacks from the Yanlong Army's elite land-based ships, the Type 59 suffered heavy losses.

However, a large number of Type 59s still bypassed the wreckage of their comrades ahead and continued their charge. In addition, the two formations were advancing towards each other, and the distance between them had been reduced to within two kilometers.

At this moment, Meng Wu's expression had changed from shock to fury, with a hint of fear mixed in with his fury.

Why are they so crazy? What's the point of such tactics?

In Meng Wu's view, if the Red Army's military commander had been in Yan State, he would have been executed for losing so many land-based ships. However, the enemy's attack showed no signs of stopping and did not seem like a desperate struggle. They were still trying to form a charging formation and attack our side. They were pursuing victory.

Why? Why? You've already won, and won beautifully, so why pursue another hard-fought victory under these circumstances? What are you doing this for? Is it all worth it?

Meng Wu was not the only one shocked; the soldiers of the Yan Army were also deeply moved. They saw the Red Army's land-based ships advancing wave after wave, closing in on them like a suicide squad.

Those weren't cannon fodder sent to the battlefield with just a gun; they were land-based ships. Every operator on board was a technical soldier in the military, aristocratic gentlemen who were usually arrogant and haughty. But now they were dying on the road to charge like the lowest infantrymen. How could they do this?

At least in the minds of the vast majority of ordinary soldiers in the Yan Army, they did not think there was anything worth risking their lives for.

Fighting a war is just about being a soldier and making money. As long as you are worthy of the salary and provisions given by the emperor, that's enough. But if you die, you have nothing left. You don't need to fight so hard. You have a bright future ahead of you. Why do you have to die like us peasants?

However, among these people, some seemed to have understood something. They quietly touched the booklets they had found on the corpses of Red Army soldiers on the battlefield. Reality was violently clashing with their values, leaving cracks or even shattering them.

Perhaps such things really do exist, things that involve fighting without regret or any other commitment, but we just don't know what they are.

So... can anyone tell me!

On the Red Army's land-based naval formation side, everyone held their breath, constantly watching the front. Their eyes were firm and calm, with only the target directly in front of them in their eyes.

"One kilometer away!"

"Hold your ground! Keep charging!"

"Eight hundred meters away!"

"500 meters away!"

"Three hundred meters away!"

"One hundred meters away!"

"Prepare to ram! Cover our comrades as they charge the enemy!"

"Hurrah!"
