Warlords: Rise of the System

Lu Tianhao frowned slightly and looked at the battlefield situation ahead with a serious look.

He thought quietly for a long time, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, but in the end he did not rush to make a decision.

Because he knew very well that the most urgent task at the moment was to eliminate the aggressive enemies in front of him first.

Lu Tianhao waved his arms decisively and gave orders loudly, "Artillerymen, listen up, move forward quickly!"

After receiving the order, the artillery unit immediately took action.

The tractor towed the heavy artillery towards the designated location.

The armored forces of the two regiments also rushed to the forefront of the team without fear, moving forward bravely like a steel torrent.

As time passed, one hundred howitzers with a caliber of 150 mm were finally successfully towed to the designated location.

The artillerymen quickly adjusted the firing parameters and aimed their guns precisely at the enemy's newly built forward defense positions.

With Lu Tianhao's order, deafening artillery sound instantly resounded through the sky.

One after another, powerful artillery shells streaked across the sky like meteors, smashing into the enemy positions with the power to destroy everything.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in this horrific explosion.

This bombing operation did not last too long. After only three rounds of bombing, Lu Tianhao decisively ordered the shelling to stop.

Although the rounds of bombing were limited, the damage caused was quite staggering.

The defensive position that had been hastily built by the enemy had been blown beyond recognition and turned into complete ruins.

The defense line that once seemed solid was vulnerable under the fierce bombardment of artillery fire.

At this time, Lu Tianhao was standing on a high ground with a wide view together with a group of generals. They held binoculars and carefully observed the enemy's deployment.

It can be seen clearly through a telescope.

Apart from some relatively simple fortifications built at the front line, there was no trace of other enemy fortifications as we extended deeper into the area.

What is even more surprising is that even if we look further back, we still cannot find any large enemy forces.

This unusual situation made Lu Tianhao's heart tighten, and an ominous premonition instantly came to his mind.

He was keenly aware that the situation might be far more complicated than it seemed.

Almost in an instant, Lu Tianhao made a prompt decision and issued orders without hesitation.

He ordered two well-equipped and well-trained armored regiments to attack quickly and launched a fierce offensive towards the enemy's frontline positions with thunderous force.

The tanks and armored vehicles roared forward like steel beasts, unstoppable!

Their tracks rolled over the ground, raising clouds of dust.

What is surprising is that they did not encounter any obstruction from the enemy along the way, as if the enemy had already fled at the sight of them.

The infantrymen following closely behind these powerful armored forces were in high spirits. They marched with firm steps and quickly rushed into the enemy's positions.

The originally solid defense line had now become fragmented, with ruins and fortifications that had been bombed beyond recognition everywhere.

However, although this position seemed to have suffered extremely fierce bombing, after a careful search, only a few enemy bodies were found.

In the end, after a thorough search, they only succeeded in capturing a few enemies who were lucky enough to survive.

After interrogation, the prisoners trembled and told the truth.

It turned out that as early as when the National Salvation Army launched its first large-scale bombing, the enemy's large forces fled in panic like a frightened bird.

As for the hastily built second line of defense in front of us.

The enemy only left behind a small number of soldiers to act as a suicide squad to delay time.

The rest of the main force abandoned the battlefield without hesitation, fled far away, and disappeared into the night.

Lu Tianhao was so angry that his chest felt stuffy and his teeth were chattering, but he could do nothing about it.

He looked at the gradually darkening sky, his heart filled with regret and unwillingness.

At this time, the night was slowly falling, shrouding the earth in darkness.

The once bright skyline had been swallowed up by the night, leaving only a few sparse stars twinkling faintly.

The enemy's main force had already fled, and they took advantage of the cover of night to quickly evacuate the battlefield.

Although the time is not too long, the possibility of success if we launch another pursuit is very slim.

After all, the enemy had already opened up a certain distance, and they knew the area much better than the National Salvation Army.

More importantly, the National Salvation Army was not familiar with the terrain in this area.

The mountains here are undulating, the ravines are crisscrossed, and there are intricate paths and hidden valleys everywhere.

If we rashly launch a large-scale blind pursuit, we are very likely to fall into an ambush carefully set by the enemy.

By then, not only will we fail to destroy the enemy, but we will also suffer heavy losses.

Thinking of this, Lu Tianhao could only suppress the anger in his heart and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​chasing.

Lu Tianhao frowned and shouted angrily, "These guys ran away so fast!

If they had fled a little later, we would have been able to catch them all in one fell swoop, and no one would have been able to escape!"

His angry voice echoed in the air, as if to shake the entire battlefield.

Lu Yunjiao stood quietly aside and asked softly, "Brother, now that the enemy has escaped, what should we do next?"

There was a hint of anxiety and confusion in her words.

Lu Tianhao narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he slowly said, "I will send a large number of scouts out to scout the specific location of the enemy's main force.

Once their whereabouts are confirmed, we will immediately dispatch troops to pursue them." At this point, his eyes revealed a firm and resolute light.

Then, he turned to look at Lu Yunjiao, his eyes became gentler, and continued.

"You and Yunfeng lead the female soldiers under your command to continue searching for the whereabouts of Second Uncle's family and his brothers and sisters.

Remember, you must be cautious and never act rashly.

If you find anything, send someone back to report to me immediately."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunjiao nodded solemnly to show that she understood.

Then she turned and walked towards her team, ready to carry out the task assigned by her brother.

As night fell quietly like a thick black curtain, today's fierce fighting finally came to a temporary end.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and dust, and the exhausted soldiers dragged their heavy feet slowly back to the camp.

After a simple but warm dinner, Lu Tianhao ordered everyone to rest tonight.

He knew very well that after a day of intense and brutal fighting, the soldiers needed sufficient sleep to restore their physical strength and energy.

As a result, the entire camp soon fell into silence, with only the occasional snoring and the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the tents.

However, early the next morning, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, something unexpected happened.
