Warlords: Rise of the System

The National Salvation Army's extremely powerful tanks and fully armed armored vehicles roared like steel beasts.

They spewed out hot and deadly tongues of fire, and dense bullets poured down like raindrops towards the Ma family army in the south.

All I heard was a deafening burst of gunfire, and in an instant the air was filled with smoke and dust.

Under this torrential and crazy strafing, the Ma family army in the south was simply unable to withstand such a fierce firepower attack.

They fell in large numbers, and the battlefield was covered in blood, a horrific sight.

The corpses lay scattered on the ground like harvested wheat.

The Ma family army, which was once so powerful, now became a lamb to be slaughtered.

After a fierce battle, the two divisions of the Ma family army in the south suffered heavy losses.

The number of soldiers who finally managed to escape was less than the strength of a division, and the level of casualties was simply shocking.

This battle was undoubtedly a nightmare for the Ma family army, and they paid a heavy price.

The operation to encircle and suppress the women's unit of the National Salvation Army also ended in failure.

At this moment, the Ma family army's troops in the other two directions also received intelligence about the National Salvation Army's armored forces. This news shocked them.

They also learned that the troops that tried to launch a surprise attack from behind the National Salvation Army had been completely wiped out.

This series of blows caused the morale of the Ma family army to drop and the people to panic.

The so-called encirclement that was once carefully planned has now become a huge joke.

The Ma family army originally thought they had a sure win, but reality dealt them a heavy blow.

This battle not only caused them to lose many soldiers and generals, but also destroyed their prestige and lost all their face.

This can be known from the specific situation reported by the Ma family army who fled back from the south in a panic.

The women's unit that they originally intended to encircle and suppress actually successfully received powerful reinforcements.

The terrifying armored force that the Ma family army encountered in the south was actually a reinforcement force specially sent by the National Salvation Army.

Now that the National Salvation Army has such elite reinforcements.

The morale of the Ma family army instantly dropped to the bottom, and the previous ambition to encircle and suppress the women's army had long since disappeared.

At this moment, the only question on their minds was.

What strategies and means should be adopted to effectively resist the fierce counterattack that the National Salvation Army is about to launch?

In order to enhance their own defense capabilities as much as possible to block the fierce offensive that may be launched by the National Salvation Army.

The Ma family army in the north decisively chose to retreat and quickly moved to the western area, where they successfully joined forces with the original Ma family army in the west.

Including those members of the Ma family army who fled hastily back from the south, the total strength of the Ma family army in the west has now reached an astonishing 70,000 people.

Faced with such a serious situation, the Ma family army did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

They immediately set to work to build solid defensive fortifications and actively prepare for war, just to be able to stubbornly block the National Salvation Army's overwhelming counterattack.

At the same time, they quickly reported the critical battle situation in detail to the headquarters of the Ma family army in Ganling Province.

When this important information was passed to the Marshal's Mansion, Ma Quan, the Marshal, felt that the situation was serious and urgent.

Without hesitation, he ordered all senior generals to convene an emergency and crucial military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Ma Quan spoke first with a serious expression, "Our operation to encircle and suppress the women's unit of the National Salvation Army was going smoothly.

But we didn't expect their reinforcements to suddenly arrive, which directly caused our troops to suffer heavy losses."

He paused, frowned, and continued, “I previously sent out an army of more than 10.

But who could have imagined that in less than a day, they would lose nearly 30,000 people! Such a huge number of casualties is really heartbreaking. "

At this point, Ma Quan sighed deeply, his voice lowered slightly, "From this, it is not difficult to infer that the reinforcements sent by the National Salvation Army this time must be of considerable size.

Now, our remaining troops have all gathered together in one place, just in case, to avoid a possible crazy counterattack by the National Salvation Army. "

He looked around at everyone present and said slowly, "So, what do you think about the current war? Feel free to speak your mind."

The Chief of Staff said solemnly, "Everyone, this time we went to war with the National Salvation Army, it is very likely that we made a wrong decision!

However, things have come to this point, the war has already begun, and we must not retreat in the slightest.

The most urgent thing at the moment is to order our troops deployed on the front line to take defensive measures quickly and build a solid line of defense to resist the possible fierce attack.

At the same time, orders should be given to them immediately, requiring them to send out scouts immediately and find out as soon as possible how many reinforcements the National Salvation Army has sent.

So far, how many troops have been sent by the National Salvation Army?

Equipped with advanced or sophisticated weapons and equipment.

What is the real purpose of this action and other key questions.

We can say that we are completely in the dark and know nothing about it!

As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.' But now we know almost nothing about the enemy, so how can we defeat such a powerful opponent?"

After hearing the chief of staff's words, everyone present couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

Because at this moment they didn't even know the status and role of this female unit that needed to be encircled and suppressed in the entire National Salvation Army.

What's more, there is no specific number of reinforcements sent by the National Salvation Army.

Not even a bit of useful information was found, such as what types of equipment they carried, how they came to support, and other important intelligence.

This is a war in which we know nothing about strategy and tactics, the strength of both sides, and the battlefield situation.

What exactly is needed to achieve victory?

Is it just relying on that illusory luck?

Or do we hope that the enemy will suddenly become kind and surrender?

These are obviously unrealistic fantasies!

It is unwise to rashly send troops into battle without knowing anything.

They simply treated the lives of the soldiers as a joke and squandered them at will, and ultimately ended up with a miserable defeat.

At this moment, a solemn look gradually emerged on Ma Quan's face, which was always full of confidence.

There was a hint of regret and self-blame in his deep eyes.

Obviously, it was not until this moment that he truly realized the serious consequences of his previous reckless act of not listening to others' advice and insisting on sending troops rashly.

You know, the National Salvation Army was able to cross the area under the jurisdiction of the warlords in Xiyuan Province so smoothly and send a large number of reinforcements to this place.

Obviously, this means that the warlords in Xiyuan Province have already lent the road to the National Salvation Army for use.

Otherwise, how could the National Salvation Army reinforcements, which were far away from here, arrive at the battlefield so quickly and without hindrance?

The reason why the National Salvation Army was able to successfully convince the warlords of Xiyuan Province to willingly allow them to pass through.

Either the two sides have reached some kind of tacit understanding and consensus on the distribution of interests, which makes the warlords of Xiyuan Province willing to open the door to convenience.

Or the National Salvation Army used powerful force as a deterrent to force the warlords of Xiyuan Province to bow their heads and compromise, thus giving up this passage.

No matter which of the above reasons it is, one thing is certain: the National Salvation Army is by no means an ordinary force!

Just when everyone in the conference room had not yet reached a clear conclusion, shocking news came from the front line.

The troops of the National Salvation Army have launched a ruthless, all-out and fierce attack on the Ma family army in the west!
