Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 289 Discovering the Pirates' Navy Fleet

On Ming Island, the landing force of the National Salvation Army was engaged in a battle with the enemy in the besieged city.

They continued to launch waves of small-scale attacks in an attempt to break the enemy's defenses.

At first, after careful observation, the National Salvation Army confirmed that there were no innocent people from the Tianlong Kingdom around the city walls.

They took action quickly.

They transported the powerful heavy howitzers loaded on the transport ships to the designated locations in an orderly manner and aimed them with accuracy to the millimeter.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, one shell after another streaked across the sky like a meteor, accurately hitting the walls around the city.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and countless rocks and earth flew up.

Under the fierce and precise bombardment of the National Salvation Army's heavy artillery, the originally indestructible city walls instantly became riddled with holes, and many places collapsed under the heavy load.

However, what is even more regrettable is that not far behind the collapsed city walls is the residential area on which the local people depend for their survival.

What's worse is the numerous bandits and soldiers from the multinational coalition.

When they saw that the situation was not good, they were so cruel that they used the houses of the people as temporary defense bases to resist the attacks.

But even so, these vicious criminals did not drive out the people living in the houses.

Perhaps they want to use these unarmed civilians as human shields!

Because of this, even though the city walls had been blown to pieces, the safety of the people's lives was taken into consideration.

The National Salvation Army troops had to temporarily abandon their plan to launch an immediate ground offensive.

The National Salvation Army had been patiently waiting for the night to fall. When the darkness completely enveloped the earth, a group of brave soldiers with combat capabilities above that of special forces began to take action.

They carefully sneaked into the city along the gap in the collapsed city wall.

However, these special forces did not rush deep into the city, but instead targeted the enemies around the collapsed entrance.

They suddenly appeared in front of the enemy like ghosts and launched fierce and precise attacks.

This small-scale attack launched by the National Salvation Army was not without purpose. Its essence was purely to retaliate against the enemy and destroy the enemy's manpower.

So, every night, fierce and short small-scale battles would take place in the corners of this city.

It is worth mentioning that the members of the troops sent by the National Salvation Army to carry out the mission this time are all the best among the elite.

Because of this, they were able to achieve considerable results in every battle and successfully kill a large number of enemies.

Although these soldiers are experienced and extremely powerful, the situation on the battlefield is always unpredictable.

Even so, in this series of fierce battles, the National Salvation Army itself inevitably suffered a certain degree of casualties.

Among them, there were relatively many soldiers who were injured, but only a handful of them died heroically.

As time went on, after several consecutive nights of small-scale attacks.

The enemy finally realized that it had suffered a heavy blow and paid a heavy price for it.

As a result, they had to increase the deployment of troops at night to deal with the increasingly frequent and fierce attacks of the National Salvation Army.

The bandits and the commanders of the multinational coalition forces.

Whenever they thought the National Salvation Army might launch an attack in an area, they would double the defensive forces without hesitation.

In this way, the originally relatively weak defense line instantly became indestructible.

With the rapid increase in enemy forces, night raids became increasingly difficult.

Although each attack was still able to kill a considerable number of enemy troops, the casualties paid by our side also rose sharply.

Faced with this grim situation, the commanders of the National Salvation Army, after careful consideration, finally decided to temporarily suspend the strategy of night attacks.

They planned to let the enemy relax their vigilance first, paralyze them for a period of time, and then replan the next course of action.

However, the attack on the enemy did not stop there.

The commanders of the National Salvation Army responded quickly and dispatched a large number of sharpshooters with accurate marksmanship to the battlefield.

From the moment dawn broke, these sharpshooters launched ruthless sniping attacks on the bandits and soldiers of the multinational coalition in broad daylight.

In an instant, enemy soldiers fell one after another near the entrance of the collapsed city wall, and the number of casualties continued to rise.

Unexpectedly, since the early morning of the next day, these bandits seemed to have received some kind of mysterious instructions.

Once daybreak, he would hide without a trace and would not dare to show his head for the entire day.

The National Salvation Army seized this rare opportunity and organized another attack on the city during daylight.

As the enemy was caught off guard, the surprise attack was very effective and many enemies were wiped out in one fell swoop.

The National Salvation Army was like a group of brave and fearless warriors, continuously launching small-scale attacks on the besieged city.

However, their strategy was not to pursue large-scale, fierce attacks, but to focus on destroying the enemy's manpower.

The reason for adopting such a cautious tactic is that both parties in the war are well aware of the situation.

They were both waiting for each other and deliberately delaying time.

The bandits and the multinational coalition forces are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their reinforcements on the battlefield as soon as possible.

These reinforcements included the Combined Fleet coming from both the east and west.

But even if they go at full speed, it will still take at least half a month to get here.

On the other hand, the National Salvation Army also has its own plans for not taking any action.

The National Salvation Army had already carefully planned the strategy of "besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements".

They had long ago laid a tight net in the vast sea area surrounding Ming Island, waiting for the multinational coalition fleet to fall into the trap.

At the same time, the National Salvation Army also sent a large number of well-trained intelligence personnel.

They quietly sneaked into the bandits' homeland, shuttled between the enemy's defense lines like ghosts, and launched a meticulous and thrilling reconnaissance work.

No corner is left out and every movement is keenly captured.

They tried their best to search for any clues of the pirate naval fleet hidden in the vast ocean.

Lu Tianhao and a group of generals sat together, discussing strategic deployment with serious expressions.

They had thought it through long before the action began.

If we can get there before the multinational coalition fleet arrives.

Successfully find the pirates' naval fleet first and deliver a fatal blow to destroy it.

This will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the entire battle situation.

You know, the pirates' naval fleet is no pushover and its strength should not be underestimated.

However, once this powerful enemy was eliminated, it would be like removing a heavy burden from the National Salvation Army's naval fleet, greatly reducing the pressure faced in subsequent operations.

In this way, when facing a powerful multinational coalition fleet, we will be able to deal with it more calmly and our chances of winning will increase a lot.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the tense and long wait was anxiety-provoking.

Finally, after several days of arduous investigation, the intelligence personnel sent out lived up to everyone's expectations and brought exciting good news.

They discovered the pirates' naval fleet in an extremely secret harbor around the island.

This discovery was like a bombshell, instantly igniting the fire of hope in everyone's hearts.
