"Xu Jin barrage!"
In front of the Northern Allied Forces formation, the frontline commander gave an order, and tens of thousands of flames poured out in front of the Northern Border formation.
At this time, the positions outside the defense line of Nandu City were already empty, but those fully automatic artillery still posed a huge threat to the infantry formation.
The frontline troops of the Northern Alliance are still a mixed army of mobile armies. After all, although there are many controllers and strengtheners in the army, they are still a minority in the face of a group army.
No one would choose to let those soldiers wearing a thick set of exoskeleton armor face those heavy artillery, which is like using a mantis as a chariot.
What's more, those people are an important fighting force against Yuan Tinghuan's mutant army. If they are severely damaged outside the defense line, they will probably die in the city battle after entering Nandu.
"Tell the frontline positions not to save energy and to open a direct path for the mobile division to the defense line." Eucommia sat on the command platform and looked at the fire rising not far away.
Yuan Tinghuan had already received the signal of the battle. Even a fool could smell the smell of battle in the air.
However, the defense line of Nandu City is still the same as when the Northern Allied Forces arrived. The frontline positions are empty, and only the automatic turrets remain outside the defense line.
"What the hell is Yuan Tinghuan doing?" Mo Jie knew that his vanguard force's forward pressure was just a cover, and he would not risk the lives of those soldiers to charge the artillery positions.
The main force of the attack is still in the north and west where the northern coalition forces are encircling, and he only needs to ensure that the eastern city wall can open a hole and contain some of the troops when the northern border breaks the city.
"Three rounds of volley fire, just level the No. 1 position outside the defense line." Mojie waved his hand. Although the Imperial Federation's military strength has indeed been reduced in recent years, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Cluster artillery shells rose from behind the Imperial Federation military formation, shooting straight into the sky like rockets.
Although it is not equipped with heavy energy weapons like those in the north, the bombing artillery carried by the Empire Federation is enough to level the artillery defense line outside the southern capital city.
…
In the Southern Capital City, Carlo walked north step by step, followed by more than 300 mutant warriors. Although they were not completely mutated, in such a virus-infested environment, they all showed stronger abilities than when they were in the underground city. Obvious changes.
With the sound of explosions in his ears, the entire southern capital city was trembling with the impact of explosions. However, the closer Carlo got to the defense line, the more determined he became.
"It was I who led you to this path of no return." Carlo suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the three hundred and twenty-one people behind him and said.
Here are all the escorts in the underground city, but now they will become Yuan Tinghuan's cannon fodder.
"Captain Ka, what are you talking about? Without you, I would have died on the street seven years ago." Among the crowd, a strong man squeezed out, squeezed to the front and said to Carlo.
"Captain, if it weren't for you, my wife and children, I and I would probably have become experimental subjects by now."
Among the crowd, noisy voices passed through Carlo's ears. This weak human voice had already covered up the sound of artillery fire behind Carlo.
"Captain, you picked me up from the roadside. If it weren't for you, I might have frozen to death there." Among the crowd, a young man walked up to Carlo and lowered his head and said to Carlo.
Striding forward, there was no trace of fear on the young man's face. They all knew that death would greet them if they crossed the defense line.
Everyone, like the young man, walked past Carlo and walked towards the battlefield of death without hesitation.
Some people patted Carlo's shoulders gently, telling him to cheer up.
"It's not your fault. You did it for the sake of being a mutant in the entire underground city and for those children." A mother paused beside Carlo for a long time with tears in her eyes.
Their children should be in the hospital arranged by the government hall at this time, receiving the best medical treatment to cure the diseases caused in the underground city over the years, such as rickets and photophobia...
Living underground for a long time, malnutrition will inevitably lead to some strange diseases and various accompanying diseases...
The agreement between Carlo and Yuan Tinghuan is that the young mutants, who were originally the treasures that the underground city cared about the most, have naturally become Yuan Tinghuan's bargaining chips.
At this time, Carlo clearly understood that he did not decide the fate of these people, but that he and their fate had always been firmly bound together.
Watching the familiar faces walking past him until there was no one in front of him, Carlo understood a truth.
The lives of mutants are as worthless as grass and mustard.
Even Yuan Tinghuan, who kept saying that he would treat mutants fairly and give justice to mutants, was just using the murder of mutants many years ago as a weapon to attack the Empire and the Federation.
After hesitating for a moment, Carlo turned to look at the vast crowd of 321 people, like thousands of troops. They were the purest mutants. They once lived in dark corners, but now they are trapped. A mutant who is an abandoned son.
Carlo followed the footsteps of those people. At this moment, his heart was no longer filled with guilt, but with determination to face these people around him.
Carlo hopes that Yuan Tinghuan can fulfill his promise and provide the best medical treatment for the children of mutants.
…
Rumble…
The chariots advanced. This was the first time that the Empire Federation dispatched heavy armored chariots on the battlefield. The huge metal monsters were like mobile fortresses, advancing towards the front line covered by artillery fire.
Mo Jie also looked to the north, where the intertwining of light and shadow had not yet ended. After receiving the support of Dihao, the northern border was naturally full of arms and weapons, and could continue to suppress the northern positions through bombing.
Light and shadow intertwined. On the northern command platform, Yuan Shu looked at the bombardment that was still not over, with a somewhat cold expression.
"I know what you are thinking. You are wondering why I haven't sent troops yet. Is it because I want the Empire Federation to send troops to attract firepower and then reap the benefits?"
Eucommia just glanced at Yuan Shu out of the corner of her eye and knew why Yuan Shu had such a look on his face.
"After the battle of the beast tide, more than half of the elite troops in the north were lost. I can't let the frontline soldiers go deep into the unknown situation." Eucommia stood up and walked to the front of the command platform.
"Did you see it? Looking around, you can see that there is not a single person on Nandu's defense line here. This is very illogical. Even if the mutant army is not good at positional warfare, and Yuan Tinghuan is not good at military tactics, it is absolutely illogical. Such a barrier will not be given up.
The only explanation is that there is an ambush within the defense line and the energy shield. " Eucommia ulmoides looked at Nandu, and the protective shield that flickered on and off still maintained its original appearance.
"Do you want to rely on heavy firepower to blow open the defensive walls and destroy the defensive shield?" Yuan Shu felt a little fanciful.
The defensive city wall and the protective shield covering the entire Southern Capital were built to resist the beast tide. The energy shield connected to the entire Southern Capital's outer perimeter defense line and the stimulating device were all within the defense line.
If the excitation device cannot be destroyed, no amount of artillery fire will help the protective shield. The moment there is a gap in the defense, the surrounding energy excitation will replenish it.
The huge protective shield relies on this self-healing ability to intercept countless flying beasts in the waves of beasts.
"Of course shelling is not allowed, but you can blast a gap in the tall iron wall of the defense line, and then the elite troops can go straight in to destroy the excitation device of the energy shield."
Eucommia also knew that relying on energy weapons to blow open the defensive shield was like a fantasy and completely impossible to achieve.
"I'll go!" Yuan Shu took a step forward and came to Du Zhong's side, looking at Du Zhong with firm eyes.
"Are you kidding me? I have to go personally to do that kind of thing before I can rest assured." Du Zhong smiled. As he expected, Yuan Shu, this child, is young and reckless, and has no scheming intentions. He really wants to rush for it if he says so.
"Are you going in person?" Yuan Shu was slightly startled. He, the commander-in-chief of an army, actually wanted to go in person for such a dangerous matter, so who would be at the command post?
"I think you are just joking! Who will be sitting on the command post if you go?" Yuan Shu's voice was a few decibels higher unconsciously.
"..." Eucommia ulmoides did not speak, but turned his face and looked at Yuan Shu with a smile.
"With your bodyguard here, what do I have to worry about?" Eucommia moved her shoulders, crossed her hands, and stretched out her arms vigorously.
"When you see a red light shining in the defense line, you will give the order on my behalf, and all the mobile divisions will march to Nandu." Eucommia looked sideways at Yuan Shu, believing that Yuan Shu could understand what he meant.
"This trip is dangerous. I am the commander-in-chief. I must do it myself. After all, I have to put on my armor again and fight in the battle like before."
Eucommia Eucommia looked resolute, and it was clear that there was no need to discuss this matter. This was the second military order issued by Eucommia ulmoides to Yuan Shu.
The first military order was to allow Yuan Shu to stay with Lin Zihan, while the second military order was to allow Yuan Shu to stay in the safest place. It seemed to be an order given to protect Yuan Shu.
Eucommia ulmoides has been helping Yuan Shu in a military order, and even protecting Yuan Shu. He is protecting this opponent's son.
On the command platform, there were not only Eucommia ulmoides, but also many military commanders and deputy commanders. These people were all ministers of the military department. Naturally, they only watched what Eucommia ulmoides did but said nothing.
Although they don't know why Eucommia treats Yuan Shu like this, they are willing to believe that everything Eucommia does is justified. They remember the contribution Eucommia has made to the north, and they also believe in Eucommia's loyalty to the north.
