Chapter 162: Yanshan Upheaval
Towards Shanhaiguan.
General Wu, wearing helmet and armor, stood on the high blue brick and stone city wall. From here, he could overlook the entire Liaodong Corridor and see the blue line where the sea and sky met in the distance.
Perhaps it was because of the salty and humid sea breeze or the seagulls circling in the sky, but his brows were furrowed, with an unshakable sadness on his face.
As the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong defense line, he knew deeply that the troops of the Liaodong Provisional Government were by no means the barbarians and beggars as described by those high-speakers in the court.
They were equipped with advanced firearms and their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Daqian army.
Now, as the Shanhaiguan defense system, several fortresses and trenches distributed along the mountains, the Liaodong defense line with a total strength of 30,000 troops have been set on fire one after another.
General Wu took a deep breath, pressed the decorative sword at his waist, and looked back at the deputy general beside him.
"Have the scouts sent out reported any news?"
The lieutenant shook his head.
"General, not a single scout has returned. Could it be that the front line is..."
Having said that, the deputy general gritted his teeth and couldn't help but speak.
"Sir, those people knew that we were inferior to the enemy army in terms of armaments. The reason why the enemy army did not launch an attack was probably because they were accumulating strength and coordinating supplies!"
"You transferred us here from the south, are you deliberately watching us fight the enemy army? My lord, our army is here to protect our hometown in the south. If..."
"Hmm?" General Wu put down the monocular and looked at the deputy general expressionlessly.
He knew what the deputy general said. Seeing that the rebel army was being chased everywhere and even chose to give up Jiangxi, which he had managed for several years, he was transferred to the north when he was about to wipe out this group of bandits.
He did have some thoughts in his mind. He believed that he should be loyal to the emperor and eat his salary. Since it was the emperor's decision, what difference did it make whether he suppressed the bandits in the north or in the south?
Therefore, General Wu's tone became a little cold.
"Don't let me hear such words again!"
The deputy general sighed deeply.
But at this moment, a rumbling sound was heard in the sky.
Hearing the sound, the deputy general looked up at the sky in surprise.
However, in the sky, several fighter planes flew across from a height of a thousand meters. Just like before, these enemy iron birds did not launch an attack on the ground.
Because of this happening so many times, no soldiers in the city even fired guns into the sky!
But this time...it seems different.
The deputy general's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in disbelief.
"They're coming towards us! Be careful, sir!"
General Wu looked up at the sky, with several black spots reflected in his eyes.
That's too late!
"Bang!" Explosions rang out one after another, the century-old wall was blown to pieces, and the pungent smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.
When General Wu stood up from the ruins coughing, he saw a devastated place and the thick bluestone wall had been destroyed.
He looked up at the sky and saw the iron birds flying away. Their arrival caused the fortress that the empire had spent countless manpower to defend against the threat from the northern border to collapse.
He looked around blankly, and the only one who survived was himself, a monk.
The rest of the soldiers stationed on the city wall had all disappeared in the explosion, including his own deputy general.
Inside the city wall, the enemy did not bomb the military camps and arsenals. A large number of soldiers could be seen coming out of the military camps with surprised expressions, looking at the disappearing walls.
There were also soldiers stationed on the towers in the city, pointing in horror in the direction of the collapsed wall.
General Wu looked at their fear, a self-deprecating smile flashing across his lips.
On the horizon outside the pass, a cold army made of steel is advancing steadily.
As soon as we saw the person, our self-righteous defense line was shattered. Is there any hope of fighting this battle?
The Great Struggle is Over!
Unless the Lord of Heaven appears.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, his body suddenly shook.
General Wu frowned slightly. Was it a bombardment or an earthquake?
He looked towards the source of the earthquake.
However, I saw that the green grass that originally covered the entire Yanshan Mountains on the left rear was shaking constantly.
Above the mountain dome, a large cloud of black mist spurted out!
General Wu's eyes widened in horror. "No! That's not fog, it's flying bats!"
He immediately turned around and looked at the officers who were surrounding him with ill intentions, as well as the personal soldiers who were on guard against these officers, and shouted loudly.
"Run away!"
......
In the 104th Mechanical Regiment.
"There are still ten kilometers to Yanshan!" The information flow flashed through the core processor of TX-1. RVE-8, which was his main body, also leaned out half of his body from the wheeled Terminator transport vehicle and looked forward.
Seeing the collapsed wall, a red light flashed in his eyes.
The creations of mankind in the classical period are vulnerable.
If the humans in this world were only capable of this, he could have done something far beyond the original plan and pushed his troops to the outskirts of Beidu!
As the data stream flashed by, TX-1 suddenly raised its head and looked towards the Yanshan Mountains that had appeared on the horizon.
"Unknown earthquake source discovered!"
"A large number of extremely aggressive flying organisms have been discovered. Corrected: one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand..."
