Chapter 632 Battle of the Divine Light Fortress
The bayonet in the sky saw the red fight, and the bloody slaughter on the ground did not stop. The planned cavalry assault without air force cover unfolded on time.
"Soldiers! The beast god needs you to give your lives! Send everything that blocks us to hell! My order is very simple! Move forward! Destroy! Until death!" Alex shouted to the battalion-level officers of his three cavalry divisions, "The future of the bright orcs is up to you."
He suddenly raised his arms and roared loudly: "Hang live the beast god! Long live the bright orcs!"
All the officers shouted in unison: "Lord Alex, we will destroy the puppet troops! General, please wait for the news of our victory.
"Lead up! Long gun! Duanping! Charge!" A cavalry officer raised the long knife in his hand and shouted, "Long live the beast god!"
Behind him, countless wolf knights roared and cheered, and rows of wolf knights rushed out of the position, like a huge black wave, rushing to the sea of white puppets.
"Around those big guys! We are responsible for cleaning up the small ones! Don't stop! Keep moving forward! Through the enemy formation!" An officer shouted loudly while accelerating the giant wolf of **.
The puppets soon stabilized their positions and began to fiercely counterattack the orc's wolf knight troops. Countless arrows flew to the wolf knight's charging team, and the four-legged self-propelled guns also turned to fire fiercely at the black wolf knight troops.
However, the speed of the wolf knight and the armor still played a lot of roles. Coupled with the magic defense scrolls equipped by the Sword Empire at the cost of blood, these wolf knights did not suffer heavy losses. Soon, they were mixed up with the puppet troops.
Relying on speed, the giant wolf suddenly hit the puppet soldiers in the previous rows, and the collision angle on the armor easily destroyed the puppet into a part state. The long gun in the hands of the orc soldiers ran through the puppet's body and head until the weight was unbearable and broken and damaged.
The wolf knights began to throw away their long guns, pulled out their swords at their waists, and chopped the puppet soldiers left and right. The giant wolves also bit and collide, trying to destroy the rushing enemy as much as possible.
However, there were too many puppet troops. After the cavalry lost their speed, they were surrounded by puppet soldiers regardless of loss and wiped them out one by one with long guns. These puppets had no fear. They ignored death and quickly made the wolf knights stop.
At the moment when the wolf knights fought hard, the bombers sent by the air force finally broke through the defense line of the puppet air force and appeared over the battlefield. More than 200 bombers flew over the puppet's position and dropped more than 1,800 aviation bombs, almost without aiming, arranging the standard offensive formation of puppet infantry knots. After a strong blow, about 30,000 puppets were directly destroyed, and more than 5,000 puppets were seriously damaged.
The Wolf Knight Force, which was supported by the Air Force, obtained a large enough site because of the bombing of the Air Force. After gathering, it began to charge again. As a result, the army of the puppet empire once again suffered the fierce attack of the Wolf Knights.
In the end, the Wolf Knight Assault Force survived, and 45,000 Wolf Knights died heroically in front of the human position, securing enough time for the 8th and 9th armies.
This local counterattack, the Sofia Empire lost more than 300,000 puppet troops. The No. 1 gas standing on the distant highland commanding the puppet's attack did not say a word for a long time. His overwhelming attack was completely disrupted by this counterattack force. It takes time to reorganize the attack, and what the puppet empire needs most now is time.
However, the well-prepared attack of No. 1 and Sophia could not be so simply to give up. The puppet troops quickly adjusted and launched a more fierce attack.
Because more than 8 million troops have been gathered, stretching hundreds of kilometers back and forth, the puppet empire is far from hurting its vitality. It can be said that the war has just begun.
Sofia's idea is very simple. Anyway, as long as she breaks through the central human defense line and kills the emperor of the Sword Empire sitting in Caen, she will win at least most of the war even if it does not end immediately.
So she is now sitting in the middle army and leading 5 million troops to the Shenguang Fortress without hesitation. The 3 million troops now commanded by No. 1 are just the vanguard of her troops.
Countless puppet troops rushed to human positions, and the magic cannonballs fired at each other frequently exploded on each other's positions, setting off one huge black smoke column after another.
The barbed wire had already been torn apart. The soldiers and the attacking puppets fought in the dilapidated trenches. The long sword cut into the other party's head. Listening to the screams and calls for help around them, they were taken far away by death the next moment.
On this afternoon, the air force of the Sword Empire obtained air control over the battlefield, but due to the huge losses, it was impossible to send planes to cover the ground operations on a large scale.
It was also this afternoon that the northern wall of the Shenguang Fortress was covered by the artillery fire of the puppet empire, and 300,000 puppet soldiers rushed into the Shenguang Fortress City, and the tragic street battle of Shenguang Fortress began.
On the field defense line, three of the 23 divisions under the 8th Army of the Bright Orcs were completely destroyed in the morning, and 6 infantry divisions were completely disabled and unable to continue to fight. The most complete of the 14 infantry divisions still holding their positions has also lost 2,000 people.
On the battlefield further west, the newly formed 16th Army also fell into a bitter battle. This force cannot be compared with the elite 8th and 9th Army, so the defensive position is relatively more marginal, and the pressure is not as great as the frontal battlefield, but the puppet troops still put 300,000 offensive troops here. The whole line of defense has also been attacked countless times.
The 9th Army is still under the pressure. They are responsible for defending the Shenguang Fortress and the surrounding areas, which is the focus of the attack of the puppet empire. On the most tense first day, only the first defensive position of the 9th Army suffered the fierce bombardment of more than 6,000 magic cannons of the Sofia Empire. About 50,000 shells poured into the human fortifications.
All the way from Rome Island, this is the first time that the Holy Sword Empire troops have encountered a long-range opponent with equal firepower, and it is also the first time that they face an unfavorable situation that may be suppressed by the opponent's firepower in a local battle.
That night, after the two sides stopped the fierce fighting and strengthened their respective control positions, they rarely calmed down for a whole night. The Sofia Empire is waiting for reinforcements, while the army of the Sword Empire is to take time to rest.
