Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 174 Fleet Attack

Taylor did not hesitate too much. After discussing with Fujita, he urgently sent reinforcements to the border defense line.

In order to stop the National Salvation Army, the bandits and the multinational coalition forces suddenly sent 20 troops to reinforce.

This is a huge number, which shows how seriously they take this war.

They knew very well that if the number of reinforcements sent was too small, they would not be able to effectively block the enemy.

Therefore, they sent such a large force without hesitation.

Taylor and Fujita also issued death orders to the troops at the front, requiring them to hold their positions until reinforcements arrived.

This means that they cannot back down even in the face of tremendous pressure and sacrifice.

The bandits and multinational coalition forces, who had been chased by the National Salvation Army and had to flee everywhere, had to regroup after receiving the death order.

The commanders of these troops realized that only by unity could they resist the enemy's attack.

So they began to gather the scattered soldiers and organize a new line of defense to try to stop the advance of the National Salvation Army.

However, despite the strict supervision of the commanders and the supervision team, many soldiers were too frightened to resist and chose to flee.

After all, facing the powerful National Salvation Army, they have lost the confidence to fight.

As the saying goes, a defeated army is like a mountain collapsing. A defeated army often falls into chaos and panic.

Although there were some brave soldiers willing to follow orders, the overall low morale made the entire defense line shaky.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to successfully resist the attack of the National Salvation Army.

After the supervision team shot and killed many deserters, the bandits and other soldiers of the multinational coalition forces gradually obeyed the command and resumed the defense.

On the other side, the National Salvation Army was once again desperately blocked by the enemy, and their vanguard troops had to stop.

They were waiting for the arrival of the main force before continuing their attack on the enemy's defensive positions.

With the arrival of subsequent large troops and heavy weapons, the National Salvation Army launched another fierce attack.

The simple defensive fortifications hastily built by the bandits and the multinational coalition forces could not withstand the bombardment of artillery and the fierce attacks of tanks and armored vehicles.

After only three rounds of artillery fire, the simple fortifications were razed to the ground.

Most of the enemies in the position were killed or wounded, and the remaining ones could no longer hold on and turned around and fled madly to the rear.

At this time, the tanks and armored vehicles of the National Salvation Army served as the vanguard and chased the enemy.

The offensive of the National Salvation Army was like a surging torrent, advancing forward in an unstoppable manner.

They pursued the fleeing enemies relentlessly all the way, forcing them into a desperate situation.

However, it was not until they had chased for more than a hundred miles that they finally encountered the enemy's reinforcements.

At this time, the National Salvation Army's pursuit momentum was temporarily curbed and they were forced to stop.

The bandits and the multinational coalition's reinforcements had already received news of the total defeat of the army at the front, but it was impossible to drive the National Salvation Army back to the border defense line again.

In desperation, these reinforcements could only look for places with dangerous terrain that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and hastily built a second line of defense.

When the troops of the National Salvation Army pursued and reached the enemy's second line of defense, they were surprised to find that the defensive capabilities of this line of defense were extremely strong.

It is not easy to achieve a breakthrough in one fell swoop, and it requires a huge price.

Therefore, the National Salvation Army troops had to stop, re-examine the situation and adjust their offensive strategy.

The troops of the National Salvation Army acted quickly, using the surrounding terrain and materials to build solid fortifications to deal with possible enemy counterattacks.

These fortifications include trenches, bunkers and obstacles, which can effectively protect soldiers from enemy attacks.

After more than a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the National Salvation Army were already very tired.

This battle was a huge test of their physical and mental strength.

Now, they finally have the opportunity to take a good rest and restore their physical and mental strength.

As for whether to launch another attack on the enemy, this requires comprehensive consideration of various factors.

On the one hand, the soldiers need adequate rest and preparation to better perform the next mission. On the other hand, the enemy's situation also needs further observation and analysis.

Therefore, the commanders decided to wait until the soldiers had a good rest and then make a decision based on the actual situation.

Lu Tianhao led the soldiers of the guard regiment and waited for the arrival of the enemy's follow-up reinforcements, preparing to ambush them.

They had been waiting here for most of the day, but still hadn't seen any enemy.

Just when everyone began to wonder if the intelligence was wrong, a scout ran back panting to report.

"Marshal, it's bad! The enemy's follow-up reinforcements have turned to march towards Beidu Prefecture."

Du Xiaowei said, "It seems that our destruction of the enemy's armored forces has already alerted the reinforcements behind them.

They are afraid that we will ambush them again, so they dare not take this route again."

Lu Tianhao calmly analyzed, “From the current situation, the enemy commander has obviously realized that Shangjin City is difficult to defend.

In order to prevent being ambushed by us again, they decided to let the subsequent reinforcements turn directly to Beidu Prefecture.

This batch of reinforcements has about 70,000 to 80,000 people. If they join forces with the garrison of Beidu Prefecture, the number of garrisons will be close to 100,000.

Facing such a large-scale garrison, we will probably face great difficulties if we want to capture Beidu Prefecture."

Du Xiaowei then suggested, "Marshal, since Beidu Prefecture already has so many defenders, should we temporarily give up attacking Beidu Prefecture?

We can focus on capturing other areas first and turn Beidufu into an isolated city.

In this way, the enemy's 100,000 troops will need to consume a large amount of food every day, and once we cut off their supply lines, how long can they hold out?"

Lu Tianhao nodded, "It seems that Beidu Prefecture cannot be recovered for the time being.

You are right, we can take over other areas and make these 100,000 enemies isolated.

Without a source of supplies, I believe they won't be able to hold out for long and will have to find a way to break out.

As long as they leave Beidu City, it will be their destruction.

Since there is no fighting here, let's go back to Shangjin City. I think the fighting in Shangjin City is about to end."

Lu Tianhao gave some instructions to Dunzi and Gousheng, asking them to leave more reconnaissance troops to closely investigate the surrounding situation.

By the time Lu Tianhao led the guard regiment back to Shangjin City, the battle of Shangjin City had ended.

The entire Shangjin City is now in the hands of the National Salvation Army.

Just then, a communications soldier ran over nervously.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, a large fleet has arrived outside the port, and it seems to be an enemy fleet.

Our troops left behind at the port requested that we send reinforcements."
