Five days later, various complicated military arrangements and preparations were in place.
The reorganized armies of the Murong family and the Ying family have to deal with issues such as the formations and numbers of each support team, the signal synchronization strategy of all vehicles, information sharing methods, the grid division information of Lubenyuan, the area of responsibility of the formation, etc. It has been discussed and compiled, distributed into information packages one by one, and handed over to the leaders of each reinforcement corps, and then distributed to their own grassroots captains.
Based on the current significant increase in the strength of the Murong clan, which has already overwhelmed Lu Benyuan's national army, the final tactical choice of the senior officials is to advance slowly and openly in a grid-based manner.
First capture Asakawa Castle, then move all the way east, and finally shrink the front line on the periphery of Lumoto Castle, forming a complete siege of Lumoto Castle and completing the Battle of Dingding.
If they had known about the fate of the Battle of Okamoto Castle, the top brass of the Murong clan and the empire's reinforcement leaders would have made such a choice.
A large number of mid-level and high-level warlocks will participate in the battle, and the personnel will definitely not be too concentrated like the battle of Okamoto Castle.
During a fierce confrontation, an energy siphon is formed on the source world, causing the energy in the source world to overflow, causing unpredictable losses to both parties involved in the war.
…
March 20th, 124th year of Divine Revelation.
Taibai violated the Zhenxing in Dou and Niu, passed Tianjin, and Yinghuo went retrograde to guard Beihe, so it was time to conquer!
The troops of the Murong family broke the silence of the war and crossed the Caolu Strait.
Hundreds of vehicles of various types were lined up at various heights in the south of the strait, like a hurricane, passing through the strait and flying towards Lubenyuan.
As soon as they crossed the center line of the strait, near the center line of dozens of kilometers along the line, the small reconnaissance vehicles of the Dongri State suddenly discovered a group of enemy vehicles approaching like black clouds.
They were like sparrows that suddenly encountered a sparrowhawk. They immediately broke up the flock and turned back.
But how could such a large cluster of heavy vehicles allow them to escape smoothly?
Intensive artillery fire swept away most of the small vehicles, and most of the warlocks who escaped in time were killed one by one by high-level warlocks who escaped from the group of attacking vehicles.
After a while, the sea breeze from the strait blew away the last trace of smoke and dust, and the sea and sky became clear.
The attack vehicle group continued northward and headed straight for Asakawa Castle, the second largest city in Shikamotohara.
The garrison capability of Asakawa Castle is far from that of Shikamoto Castle.
In addition, some time ago, the powerful Abe family brazenly rebelled, resulting in a lack of defensive strength.
The defection of the Abe family was more of a psychological blow to the defenders, making the remaining Ying family panic-stricken. Five levels of their original combat strength of 10% had been lost.
What is even more secretive is that the existing defense families in Asakawa City, with their backgrounds, have already transferred a large number of their children to Lumoto City, hiding and transferring family wealth.
In this world, there are not too few smart people, but too many.
The so-called wisdom is just a choice between different positions and different time periods.
The attack group composed of hundreds of vehicles pounced on Asakawa Castle in a densely drawn net-like arrangement at a low altitude hundreds of kilometers away from Asakawa Castle according to the tactics designed in advance.
Most of the medium-sized vehicles have carried out regular long-range artillery fire preparations on the designated target area.
Countless missiles dragged long tail flames and flew towards Asakawa Castle not far away.
After a while, countless smoke pillars rose from the distant sky.
Such intensive artillery fire coverage caused almost devastating damage to Asakawa Castle's already weak defense facilities.
A large number of vehicles were destroyed in the hangar before they even lifted off.
Various building facilities were submerged in the flames.
The air defense formations on the outskirts of the city were bombed beyond recognition before they had time to spit out their flames.
A large number of sergeants who were unable to take off were stunned by the bombing and looked for bunkers everywhere.
Among the evenly distributed saturation strikes, there were also some magnetic storm bombs. The explosive impact of the magnetic storm damaged countless ground vehicles and intelligent equipment. Many low-level artificial mind bodies were severely traumatized and temporarily lost their communication capabilities.
Asakawa Castle instantly entered hell mode.
Most of those who can really survive this first round of saturation attacks are mid-level warlocks who can transform into energy bodies, or late-intermediate warlocks and above who can enter the world of source spirits for evasion.
Therefore, after the artillery fire, only a limited number of warlocks were able to break out of the city and flee in all directions.
A small number of vehicles that survived the artillery fire, carrying various scars, also took off and flew towards Dongfang Luben City.
But they will soon find in despair that Murong's army has been prepared on the outskirts of the city.
The various attack devices of the medium-sized vehicle were charged and loaded, and there were a large number of high-level warlocks standing in the air, waiting.
The "Blue Bird" vehicle of the Lingxian Sect and the left and right Li Clan's detachments formed a "pin" shape with each other and slowly advanced.
Wei Ling was sitting in the cabin, looking relaxed and at ease, but his mind had long been at peace here.
Since the wisdom warlock level reached the advanced stage, many of the deliberate detections in the past are now just natural habits.
He can simultaneously sense all spiritual bodies within a radius of several kilometers, including the corresponding source spirit world.
Once an enemy warlock tries to escape through the Origin Spirit World on his side, he will inevitably separate a spiritual body to intercept it and force the opponent out of the Origin Spirit World. The rest will be left to Su without any need for him to take action. Zi, Li Lingyou and a group of disciples are enough to handle it.
In front of the vehicle, a fleeing enemy vehicle appeared. Its shape was similar to the federal "Manta Ray" level, but it was slightly smaller. It should be the previous generation model of the "Manta Ray".
At present, the hull of this vehicle has been damaged by the previous gunfire, and there is still smoke coming from the stern, but the warlock sergeant driving it is still moving forward, trying to break through Welling and the others.
Facing such a blocking situation is one of the plans that the disciples of the Lingxian Sect have long rehearsed.
When the "Blue Bird" spit out its tongue of fire, the dense large-caliber bullets all hit the opponent's hull, tearing apart the skin and exterior accessories.
But the opponent didn't care at all. They only relied on superb driving skills to avoid the more powerful machine guns, and then broke through at the fastest speed.
The moment the two vehicles approached less than a hundred meters away, Phytolacca's eyes narrowed.
The vehicle suddenly stalled and was so huge that the gravity of the ship's body was torn apart. It instantly pressed the vehicle downwards and plummeted to the ground.
At the same time, several sharp sword lights, like lightning, instantly penetrated the ship's body and hit its power core.
This is Li Lingyou's flying sword attack.
There were also several sword lights, but they were a bright red color, which also penetrated the hull of the ship simultaneously, and then exploded violently inside the vehicle.
This is Xuan Ming's technique. The main body is Li Lingyou's "Flying Sword Technique", but with the addition of his other fire spirit power, this is the fire spirit technique learned from Yang Xiaohe.
The golden and fire spells are synchronized, resulting in a compound strike effect.
Just as the vehicle exploded, disintegrated and fell, several figures suddenly escaped, trying to escape in the air.
Mo Yao smiled slightly and followed them with his eyes through the porthole.
Those figures seemed to have been hit by heavy hammers, and the spells were instantly ineffective, showing a free fall posture, falling downwards.
And while they were falling, the sinister little fat man also applied gravity to strengthen them, and the speed of their fall was even more like that of an arrow leaving the string.
If it falls to the ground at this height, it will most likely end up in a puddle of meat.
A few people were not happy that they had solved this vehicle so easily.
This level of blocking was considered an appetizer-like incident in the "Battle Network" exercise a month ago, not to mention that Wei Ling, Yuan Bao, and Nan Xing didn't take action.
The attack group that surrounded Asakawa Castle with a large arc-shaped net advanced slowly, not giving the defenders any chance at all.
Like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, like a giant wheel crushing dust, like a big wave pushing down sand.
When the entire vehicle group arrived over the city, the defenders completely gave up resistance.
Except for a small number of mid- to high-level warlocks who escaped in vehicles in the far east, Asakawa City fell in one battle.
The fight back and resistance have stopped, Asakawa Castle is dead.
The flagship "Champion" vehicle in the sky sent out a command message. The vehicles in each area landed and docked in the predetermined area, and each team began to clear the remaining enemies on the ground.
From the holographic image, the gecko saw the scheduled parking spot.
Hundreds of medium-sized vehicles were like neatly arranged matrix black spots, landing evenly in Asakawa City, regardless of whether they landed in an open square, a low-rise residence, or a former defensive formation.
A black grid slowly filled the entire Asakawa City.
In fact, the more central the area, the less likely it is for the remaining warlocks to survive. Even if they are powerful and barely escape a few grids, they will inevitably be hunted by masters in the adjacent grids on the periphery.
Therefore, they had no choice but to surrender and be put into a "jail" restraint ring by the sergeant who got off the vehicle.
In each "grid", countless citizens with frightened and dull eyes chose to stay as far away from the landing vehicles as possible, avoiding the monks and soldiers who got off the vehicles, huddled together, and shivered.
Fear prevented them from even taking a second look at the incoming enemy.
Some of them were still holding crying children, carrying wounded people who were still bleeding, and some were wailing and wailing, shaking their dead relatives on the ground.
…
Wei Ling sighed and walked out of the vehicle, and everyone followed.
"Divide into three groups, led by Xuan Ming, Mo Yao, and Xuantai, clean up the remaining enemies in our grid, and prepare enough 'jail' rings for the garrison!"
"Yuanbei, Jinu, and Nanxing, use magic to treat the injured natural person!"
"Pay attention to safety, follow the previous training, and be careful of those who resist!"
"Yes! Master!"
The three teams formed instantly, each selected a position, and carefully cleaned the assigned grid area in the tactical mission.
Wei Ling fluttered his robes and flew dozens of meters into the air, sensing all movements within a few kilometers and paying attention to the three groups of disciples.
Li Lingyou and Su Zi also rose into the air and followed a group of team members to help clean up.
Facing the cruelty and tragedy of the war, Wei Ling looked calm and felt no more sadness in his heart.
The sea breeze is blowing, and there is a faint smell of gunpowder smoke and blood in the wind.
In the distance, the sound of gunshots could be heard at any time, and the explosions of spells disturbed the silent world.
Not long after, the three teams completed cleaning up the grid and reunited.
None of the disciples of the Lingxian Sect were happy to have completed the cleanup. On the contrary, everyone's face looked a little unsightly.
Not only the grid that Wei Ling and his team were responsible for, but also the grid areas of Li Mutong and Li Banxia on both sides, were all ordinary residential areas, so the three vehicles encountered no resistance at all in the grid.
Warlocks are not natural people. The extremely low rate of divine enlightenment means they are destined to be a minority among the crowd. The war has gone to such a ridiculous level, how can there be so many warlocks among the crowd?
Therefore, what the disciples of the Lingxian Sect saw were all kinds of lifeless corpses, burning houses, and many injured and wailing natural people.
Fortunately, among the disciples of Lingxian Sect, Mu Ling's Uncle Su Zi, Nan Xing, and Scrophulariaceae, and Shui Ling's Ji Nu and Yuan Bei can all perform rescue spells. Wei Ling also enhanced their rescue spells. Therefore, It can be regarded as saving a lot of wounded people.
But these disabled people who had been rescued were so grateful to the disciples of the Lingxian Sect who were originally their enemies that they even kowtow to express gratitude, which made all the young people feel ashamed.
"Feel for them, huh?"
Wei Ling's calm voice sounded in their sea of consciousness.
The disciples looked at Wei Ling and nodded slightly.
"Yes, I sympathize with them too. However, this is war. We do not judge the justice or injustice of the war. Before the winner is determined, we have to be responsible for the camp we are in.
At that time, the ancestors of these Ying people burned, killed, and looted in the territory of Daxia, killing people for no reason. Our ancestors also deserve sympathy, but who has ever sympathized with them?
If you have read history, you will naturally know this truth, so I won’t say more.
The cycle of heaven brings unfavorable retribution. However, now, in addition to being warlocks, you are practitioners of the Lingxian Sect, citizens of the empire, and soldiers in Murong's reinforcements!
As long as the other party is not convinced, beat them until they are convinced. If they are still not convinced, destroy them and obliterate them! But once they lay down their weapons, we will treat them kindly.
Conquer people with virtue, protect morality with force, and maintain the bottom line of the imperial soldiers! "
"Understood, Master!"
