Every time the imperial army took a step forward, Gudern could faintly feel the vibrations on the ground even if he was watching the battle from behind.

Even with the imperial army's attack, the Qingyuan Army did not just sit idle.

More than ten modified military trucks also headed to the front line.

Within the military card, in addition to the necessary machine gunners, there is also a group of demolition engineers.

Their mission is to destroy the city wall as quickly as possible so that the imperial army does not have to fight on the city wall.

As for the task of blasting the city wall, in addition to the cover of military cards, the elite troops of the Imperial Army also assisted in the charge and cover.

However, the heavy machine guns that come with more than a dozen military cards have formed a fire suppression on the battlefield, making it impossible for the orcs on the east wall of Ancient Stone City to raise their heads.

This kind of suppression brought great help to the advancement of the imperial army, and the imperial officers in the rear looked at this weapon with very hot eyes.

Just the Qianlaihao people of the Qingyuan Army can exert such terrifying power if they are equipped with this kind of weapon. If the Imperial Army can also be equipped with this kind of weapon, wouldn't it be able to apply to the entire continent?

As soon as the battlefield situation came into contact, both sides did not make any probing behavior and both went all out.

Under the suppression of heavy firepower, the blasting engineers had also completed the installation of explosives. As a whistle sounded, the Qingyuan Army and the Imperial Army that were attacking on the east wall began to retreat one after another.

Seeing this scene, the orcs on the city wall were still a little strange. How long had it been since the war began, and the imperial army was no longer able to retreat?

But before he had time to think about it, as an engineer pressed the detonation button, the explosives on the hundred-meter-long city wall were activated at the same time.

In an instant, dozens of deafening explosions erupted under the east city wall.

At the same time, fire and smoke rose into the sky, accompanied by the sound of explosions, which were also mixed with the sound of many gravels collapsing.

Tens of seconds later, as the smoke dissipated, a hundred-meter-long ruins appeared in front of everyone on the right side of the east wall of the ancient stone city.

Many areas have been completely bulldozed, and the Imperial Army does not need to set up ladders or siege vehicles to enter the city to fight.

Moreover, a gap of hundreds of meters is not a narrow area like a city gate. The orcs only need to deploy a small group of personnel to withstand it.

Taylor, who was already prepared at the rear, looked a little excited at the scene in front of him and immediately sent a message to give the command.

"Attack with the entire army, cross the collapsed city wall, and prioritize rescuing the residents in the city!"

There are still 70,000 to 80,000 imperial citizens in Ancient Stone City. In order to prevent the orcs from jumping over the wall in a hurry, rescuing people is also necessary.

And once the residents in Ancient Stone City can be emptied, the artillery of the Qingyuan Army can unscrupulously exert all its advantages to attack the orcs.

Taylor, who had seen the power of artillery, also hoped to use this weapon to kill orcs as much as possible and reduce the losses of the army.

Tens of thousands of imperial troops rushed toward the gap in the city wall. At the same time, the artillery positions were replaced with smoke grenades, preparing to replicate the tactics used in the attack on Kanehara Castle.

The isolation of smoke bombs is equivalent to a barrier for the imperial soldiers who invade the ancient stone city. Anyone who appears from outside the barrier must be the enemy.

And with the obstruction, the orc army could not immediately understand their movements and make the most effective decision.

This allowed Imperial soldiers to quickly take control of an area while waiting for the orcs to come through the smoke for support.

The large number bullies the small number. After experiencing this, the orc army finally experienced a normal combat situation.

It's just that... the Qingyuan Army is still causing trouble, which has caused a serious imbalance in the situation on the battlefield right from the beginning.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Hadri left and sent out the army behind Ancient Stone City, starting from the right wing to support the break of the east city wall, and tried to extend the suppression and penetrate the imperial defense line from the flank.

However, this action happened to hit the four battalions of the Qingyuan Army who were waiting outside.

The attacking orcs were more than 500 meters away, and the heavy machine guns that had hidden their strength for a long time opened fire decisively to suppress them.

Dozens of tongues of flame crossed the battlefield and headed towards the position of the orc army. At the same time, the artillery that was mobilized and prepared switched from aiming inside the ancient stone city area to pointing outwards.

The roar of artillery and the sound of firearms allowed the participating imperial troops to see for the first time the power of firearms in war from bottom to top.

Countless orcs died on the way to the charge before they even came into contact with the enemy.

The roar of the artillery immediately created a vacuum zone of tens of meters.

This kind of terrifying killing efficiency makes even the experienced imperial army tremble. The enemies they faced soberly did not use this weapon.

Otherwise, they really don't know how to evade and fight against such an army.

Looking at the heavily injured raiding army, Hadri's face was a little embarrassed. Not only him, but Miweko's face was also very embarrassed.

They originally thought that the range of weapons in Qingyuan Town was only one or two hundred meters, and as long as they were outside this range, they would be safe.

But the current performance made them realize that the Qingyuan Army had been hiding its full physical strength until now.

This kind of forbearance and scheming successfully deceived them and caused them huge losses.

Outside the ancient stone city was a large plain, where tens of thousands of orcs were mercilessly slaughtered hundreds of meters away like targets that would not resist.

Even if defensive measures were prepared in advance, this defense was like paper in front of the powerful artillery.

But orcs are orcs after all. Even after suffering such serious losses, they were still able to withstand such an offensive and drive out the first batch of imperial troops who entered the city.

With the cover of the residents in the town, the artillery attacks stopped to avoid accidental injuries.

Realizing something, the orc army also began to shrink and gather its forces at this moment, using the collapsed city wall as the battlefield to begin to fight against the imperial army's pull.

An anxious and fierce battle has officially begun...

Chapter 180 Night deployment, stage victory!

The residents on the border of the empire can be afraid of the orcs when they hear their reputation. There is no doubt about the strength of the orcs.

Although they were defeated and suffered losses when facing Qingyuan Town, this did not mean that the orc army was weak.

On the contrary, being able to face the attack of weapons from across the ages and still prevent the orcs from collapsing is already very powerful.

If it were a normal human army, if 30% of its strength were eliminated, the morale of the army would begin to weaken and collapse.

The orcs are the only soldiers who can truly fight to the end, including the extraordinary warlords behind them.

Because there was no extraordinary governor in Jinyuan City, the first batch of orcs were captured.

Moreover, these orcs had also experienced attacking Qingyuan Town and were very aware of the power of artillery. If they continued to resist at that time, there would be only a dead end.

Although they orcs also have their own temperament, they can only show it when facing opponents of the same class.

But what is this Qingyuan Army? It's a machine gun and an artillery, no matter who you use to shoot it, it will be the same.

On the battlefield of Ancient Stone City, although the orcs were inferior in numbers, they were still able to firmly control the entire city defense layout in their own hands.

When the imperial army and the orc army were strangled together, the artillery lost its role.

The only shortcoming of firearms, artillery and other equipment is this. Once there are people on the front line entangled with the enemy, these weapons lose their advantages.

After all, not everyone's weapons have built-in auxiliary items that are always accurate. If there is a slight deviation, it will hit one of your own people, which is an act of subsidizing the enemy.

It was after the orcs discovered this that they immediately commanded the army to continuously advance and entangle themselves with the imperial army.

The more Imperial soldiers around, the safer they would be.

Although they need to defeat many, this kind of battlefield is the situation they are most familiar with and good at. Even if they face several imperial soldiers, the orc soldiers can easily deal with it.

In this kind of competition between pure armies, it is difficult for the four battalions of the Qingyuan Army to have nearly 2,000 men and give full play to their due advantages and effects.

However, after the first wave of attacks and blockades, the Qingyuan Army had created an unparalleled fighter opportunity for the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army's command was also not a casualty. With such an advantage, it also began to change tactics and began to divide The battlefield gradually encroached on the orc army.

The back-and-forth war also allowed Gooden to witness the shocking scene of nearly a million people fighting for the first time.

A battle of this scale is at best a medium-scale battle between the two countries, such as on the front line of the Broken Vein Fortress and the Gobi Sand City in the deserted land. The scale of the battle in such places is that each side has invested more than one million levels. military operations.

The war raged from morning to afternoon, from afternoon to evening.

The Imperial Army had the dual advantages of numbers and battlefield depth. Soldiers on the front line could take turns to retire to rest and replenish their strength before continuing to fight.

Although the orc army has a space for activities in the city wall area, it is difficult to fight in rotation like the imperial army.

And the main reason was that the fire started in the rear, and the subsequent artillery shells fell into the logistics barracks. Normal supply work could not be completed. Many orcs on the front line were engaged in high-intensity combat.

Later, in order to prevent the barracks from being bombed again, the orcs had no choice but to capture a group of human civilians who could cook and force them to make the food needed by the front line.

When the scouts discovered this, they were forced to stop the bombardment mission.

The stars twinkled in the night sky and the moon shone brightly.

The Imperial Army, which had been attacking for a whole day, finally sounded the order to retreat.

The retreat of the army does not mean that the war has failed.

Attacking a city where hundreds of thousands of orcs are stationed cannot be completed in one day. If the defense is tighter, the two armies may have to be in a stalemate until the end of the snow season before they can make a final decision.

The night truce was to allow the armies of both sides to take away their own bodies. Nearly a million people fought, and the total number of people killed by both sides throughout the day reached 160,000.

Among them, the empire lost 50,000 people and the orcs lost 110,000 people.

This battle damage situation is already a miraculous battle damage for the Imperial Army.

After all, the enemy we faced were orcs, and it was also a siege operation. Under normal circumstances, the loss would be at least 1.5 to 1, 1.5 to 1 for the empire, and 1 for the orcs.

But now the situation has been reversed, the orcs have become two, and the empire has become one.

This kind of battle damage situation also has a lot to do with the Qingyuan Army's participation in the war.

Inside the big tent of the imperial camp.

The imperial officers who had reunited were in disbelief at the battle damage, but they were more impressed by the Qingyuan Army's artillery help.

"This is the first time we can achieve such a record against the orc army. After this battle, I'm afraid those little bastards at the Military Academy will have to analyze another battle."

Taylor's face was full of joy, and he also made some jokes about this serious military discussion.

"This is also thanks to Lord Gudern's weapons, which have helped us countless times on the battlefield. I dare say that without the help of artillery, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to touch the ancient city today."

As for the praise from everyone, Gooden, as the protagonist, just smiled and responded humbly.

Artillery is a killing machine born for war. It is thanks to the help of magic technology that it can perform a variety of attacks on the battlefield.

Although the chemical engineering technology in Qingyuan Town is already much higher than the world, many steps are simplified or bypassed by taking shortcuts and using magic technology.

Without the support of chemical technology, I am afraid that the most powerful gunpowder weapon currently available to the Qingyuan Army is a flintlock gun, the kind that fires one round and then reloads for seven or eight seconds.

"Speaking of which, Lord Gudern, your Qingyuan Town was able to defend itself against an attack by an army of 400,000 orcs. You have also seen our offensive layout today. Do you have experience in this area of ​​defense? Do you have any suggestions for improvement? Can you give it to us?”

Karloff, who was both a transcendent and a general of the Eighth Army, suddenly asked Gudern for advice. Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but stop their communication and look at him.

Hearing this question, Taylor and Hogg also had a hint of anticipation on their faces, wanting to hear what Gooden had to say.

It has never happened before in the empire to have a lord who manages a territory come to give opinions on the Imperial Army's operations.

No matter who came yesterday, I am afraid that no one here would take this seriously and hear it, and if he really said it to the other party, everyone would find fault and embarrass Gooden.
