Even if Redemption wanted to launch an attack, if they were marching at night, Redemption, the brightest star in the night sky, would definitely be hit by artillery fire.

And even though the soldiers of the gods have extremely high combat literacy and strength, they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people at this moment when their strength is sealed.

Assembling at night is also a difficult task. By the time the Redemption God's Army is assembled, half of Qingyuan's pincer offensive has been completed!

Attacking the third brigade that was cut off in the middle of the Redemption Army, two battalions were responsible for the main attack and three battalions were responsible for flank defense. In just one hour, an eight-kilometer-long assault zone was created.

At the same time, the first brigade was outflanking on the left. Under the mechanized maneuvers, the mechanical company of the first battalion that was the first to set off had already reached the rear and started to arrange the battle line.

When the sky brightened slightly, more than 350,000 Redemption rebels on the left front were surrounded by more than 400,000 Qingyuan coalition forces who had been prepared.

Among them, 50,000 people are Qingyuan troops, and the other 350,000 are Imperial troops responsible for maintaining and blocking the front.

Chapter 227 The gods counterattack, cloud explosion appears again

The Qingyuan Army's sudden attack and the flanking troops surrounding the northwest prevented the Redemption God's Family from reacting.

What's happening here?

Aren't they here to attack Qingyuan?

Why did it become Qingyuan's counterattack this time and surround one of their troops?

The generals on the God's Favorite side were racking their brains at this moment and still couldn't figure out what the Qingyuan Army wanted to do.

However, for the side troops surrounding them, it is not harmful to the overall deployment. They have an absolute numerical advantage in their hands.

Moreover, those who carry the baggage for them are always behind the troops, so they are fully capable of fighting this battle, even if everyone is sacrificed.

After briefly collecting intelligence on the front line, the commander of the God's Family immediately ordered the Qingyuan Army to take advantage of the reduction in strength when the Qingyuan Army took the initiative to attack, and take the initiative to attack across the entire front.

The more than 1.8 million troops assembled, excluding those who were suddenly surrounded, the remaining troops formed four offensive lines of defense.

The eastern front troops surrounded by the principle formed two advancing attacks all the way to the west.

More than 700,000 people on the northwest side formed two larger encirclements to come to support, and planned to form a larger encirclement to counter-encircle the Qingyuan Army and try to annihilate them.

However, all these arrangements were within the expectations of Officer Qingyuan. It was speculated that in the worst case scenario, the other party would give up rescuing the troops in the encirclement, and others would forcefully attack toward the southwest.

This will put a lot of pressure on the second brigade and subsequent reinforcements, but now that part of the army is contained, the assembled and prepared troops can only defend but not attack.

It can be said that the Qingyuan Army became famous through defensive battles. For the airtight defensive measures and the early attack of the rebels, it can be said that they did not gain any advantage and were even almost defeated.

The Redemption rebels, who were unable to attack for a time, made it impossible for subsequent troops to move forward and had to confront and consume the resisting troops.

This situation provides ample time and advantage for the Qingyuan Army to attack the surrounding area.

In order to seek absolute annihilation speed, an independent rocket battalion also participated in this encirclement and suppression mission.

When the encirclement was completed, as of dawn, three rounds of artillery fire had already occurred, causing huge damage to the rebel camps and garrison areas.

But the God's Familiar side are not unintelligent creatures like the undead, and with the dispersion and digging of holes in advance, only about 20,000 enemies were wiped out by three rounds of rocket launchers.

Such killings were within the expected range, and the results of the attack did not surprise or disappoint the Rocket Battalion.

The strike mission of the three-wheel rocket launcher was all arranged to compress the space of the rebels in the subsequent attack. From the beginning of the surprise attack to two hours after they were surrounded, the horizontal area occupied by the three hundred thousand rebels was reduced from more than 60 kilometers. We reached about twenty kilometers.

This kind of contraction was forced to stop. Qingyuan relied purely on artillery to suppress their attack, and mainly drove them away without engaging in combat with them. This caused the surrounded rebels to be extremely frustrated.

Even if they want to unite the troops to launch a breakout, in a small space, the artillery of the Qingyuan Army can cover the entire battlefield and provide support. They tried four times to break through to redeem the rebels, but they all ended in failure.

And as the Qingyuan Army took the opportunity to advance due to the failed breakout, the space for redeeming the rebels once again shrank.

The surrounded army of gods suffered a severe suppression blow here, and the attacking armies from two directions on the other side also suffered serious obstacles.

No matter which direction they advance into the Qingyuan territory, there will always be small groups of Qingyuan troops appearing on both sides of the road, harassing and attacking from either side of the mountain.

The advance began after early morning light, and by noon, hundreds of thousands of troops were stunned to attack less than fifteen kilometers away.

This distance can be said to have not even passed the Qingyuan border line, which made the generals and officers on the Redemption side look very embarrassed.

After all, judging from the clear investigation information, the total number of people currently blocking their hundreds of thousands of troops is only more than 5,000.

But this force, which was less than one-tenth of their number, was now scattered into countless small groups, using the weapons and artillery in their hands and the advantages of the terrain to bring them endless trouble.

Although they took advantage of their numerical advantage and were able to quickly break through the blockade of these small groups of enemies, the real and fake ambush arrangements such as mines and booby traps laid along the way caused them great suffering.

The number of people lost to traps alone in one morning was probably over 10,000. Coupled with harassment attacks and interception of artillery fire, the number of people lost to at least 30,000 to 40,000 was exceeded.

Their enemy, the Qingyuan Army, had almost zero casualties. Although the generals of the gods had prepared for the worst, the current situation still gave them a headache.

In the Redemption Army Camp, a group of commanding officers looked at the map of the battlefield situation presented in front of them, with a hint of helplessness on each person's face.

"Everyone is already aware of the current situation. If the two-front offensive in the southwest wants to continue to advance, it will have to continue to be dragged by the opponent. And the support from the west will not be able to get in for a while. The space for the flanking army is now If it continues to shrink, I’m afraid it will be difficult to have another chance to break through.”

Everyone has a clear view of the battlefield situation under the extraordinary detection, and they can even detect the evacuation of the rocket launcher clearly.

"If the opponent destroys their flanking troops and then evacuates, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them. Now we have to find a way to invest our strength in a frontal attack. The attack speed is too slow. The opponent's defense depth is more than fifty kilometers. If we want to completely break through It will take at least three days, and this is on the premise that the other party will not arrange any subsequent attacks."

At present, the officers of the God's Family are also very decisive in turning their attention to Qingyuan's weak points. Regarding the change of operations, the God's Family is very decisive.

Fighter opportunities are fleeting, and everyone has the same view on finding other ways to solve the problem when facing disadvantages.

Faced with these questions, one of them thought for a while and asked.

"I have a suggestion. According to the intelligence, Qingyuan has sent out all its troops to stop us this time. It can be said that what we are facing now is all the main forces of Qingyuan."

"If we can annihilate or block the opponent here, the next attack will be very easy. My idea is to use the flanking troops as bait to continue to attract Qingyuan's attacks, while the two armies in the east and west gather together. An elite force will directly intervene to open up a safe road through Chaofan, and continue to march southwest to attack, approaching Qingyuan City, and cutting off the army's supplies on the border."

"At the same time, the two armies to the east turned right and turned north to outflank and cut off the Qingyuan Army's retreat. At the same time, let the backup army quickly catch up and surround them from the north. We will not fight with them to consume them. After the assembly is completed, the entire army will directly attack. The first battle is the decisive battle, even if the whole army is annihilated, this Qingyuan army must be wiped out or severely damaged so that they cannot return for reinforcements immediately.”

Faced with this bold plan, the eyes of the God-affiliated officers present also shone slightly. When fighting Qingyuan, they knew very well that they could not enter into a war of attrition with the opponent.

When their equipment is inferior and they are dragged into consumption, all they end up wasting is their time.

The plan to settle the final battlefield directly on the border to clear obstacles for the follow-up sounds very good, but everyone present knows that once executed, the casualties of the blocking and attacking troops will be very serious.

However... casualties are not a problem at all for the gods. As long as they can achieve their goals, they will not frown even if the casualties are doubled.

Regarding this plan, the gods and relatives present quickly discussed it and immediately finalized it.

The next moment, a group of gods issued the battle order to each army. The soldiers who received the order immediately began to act according to the order without any rest.

At the same time, an army that is well-equipped and each soldier's level is no lower than mid-level is waiting for Chao Chao's arrival after receiving the order.

This army was "robbed" directly from the empire and concentrated. There were a total of 200,000 people. Each person was equipped with a separate set of armor and protective shield to resist Qingyuan's guns.

At the same time, there is also a former imperial legion of 200,000 people as backup cannon fodder, and a total of 400,000 elites are the main force to directly attack Qingyuan City in the hinterland.

The other troops stayed here to completely block and destroy the Qingyuan Army.

The Qingyuan Army did not react to the sudden change of route and attack method of the Redemption Rebels, but with the fluctuation of extraordinary power and the transmission of battlefield reports.

"Reporting from the blocking position, Chaofan from the Redemption side suddenly attacked the road minefield and advanced rapidly. Moreover, the troops dispatched this time are different from the previous ones. Each one is well-equipped and powerful."

"The two troops attacking the west at the same time have merged into one and are attacking northwest. They seem to want to merge and penetrate our rear!"

The battlefield information was immediately reported to Buniton by the intelligence officer, and at this moment he also discovered the other party's intention for the first time.

"The other party is planning to drag us here, and the elite troops will go directly west across the territory and approach Qingyuan City!"

Faced with the redemption plan, Qingyuan, who had been planning for a whole day, naturally predicted this.

After all, the army was out in full force and the strength in the rear was empty. They also took this into consideration and made preparations to deal with it.

Buniton turned to look at Imperial Chaofan who was standing aside in the command post. He did not rush to give orders, but asked for arrangements.

"Your Excellency Farold, I would like you to check on the situation of blocking the battlefield."

"Well, I have already informed a small team to go there. I will continue to pay attention to the main battlefield."

"Okay, trouble."

After receiving the reply, Buniton nodded slightly to thank him, and then notified the messenger on the side to issue the order.

"Inform the troops attacking the decoy to prohibit advancement from now on and maintain suppression. At the same time, we order the first, second and third reserve brigades to withdraw from the front as planned and move south to deploy defense lines to block the enemy."

"Originally, the defense was taken over by the fourth and fifth reserve brigades. The sixth reserve brigade was on standby. In addition, the rocket battalion was contacted and requested for code number 1 support."

The correspondent who received the order quickly passed the order to the hands of each unit.

The Redemption can quickly mobilize orders, and the Qingyuan Army can do the same here. Although it is a step slower than the Redemption Rebels in terms of action, it can quickly deploy with the help of mechanical vehicles, and it can still be one step faster than the opponent. .

At the same time, members of the Rocket Battalion disguised as baggage in the rear immediately began preparations after receiving the request for support.

In addition to conventional rocket launchers, the rocket battalion is currently equipped with brand-new cloud bomb launchers, three of which constitute a combat unit.

At present, the main rocket artillery convoy has been evacuated from the front line to the supply points in the rear for supplementary preparations. Only this small group of cloudburst launchers remains on the battlefield.

As a special vehicle, the cloud bomb launcher has never stopped upgrading. After the latest upgrade, it not only increased the range but also greatly improved the hit accuracy.

The three cloudburst launch vehicles were prepared to be used as bait for quick elimination. If the opponent continued to follow the previous attack rhythm, the Qingyuan Army would deliberately nibble away step by step and slowly cut the flesh with blunt knives to strangle and redeem the rebels.

But now that the battle situation has changed, it is necessary to make a quick decision and quickly change the battlefield situation to counter the opponent's advance.

After receiving the positioning coordinate feedback from the reconnaissance guidance team, the launcher immediately calculated and adjusted the launch parameters.

As the launch button was confirmed, three vertical cloudburst missiles immediately took off into the sky and continued to rise towards the sky.

From receiving the order to launching, it took less than five minutes.

After the launch, the launch members did not hesitate at all. They packed up their things and ran away before even receiving the report on the frontline strike.

After the three cloudburst missiles with a body length of three meters reached the designated height, they immediately began to adjust their direction and glide towards the designated target under the action of machinery.

In less than three minutes, they had crossed a distance of more than thirty kilometers and arrived above the Redemption Army, which was shrinking in a circle.

Within the surrounded Redemption Army, Chaofan also noticed these three uninvited guests.

However, this thing was a bit similar to the previous rockets, except that it was slightly larger. God's Family Chaofan reminded him casually and ignored it.

It's just a slightly larger rocket, and it doesn't have much destructive power, and it's not worth his effort to intercept.

But the scene that happened immediately made him regret it. After the three cloud bombs reached the top, they began to rotate and slow down. The fuel in the bomb bay instantly filled the entire battlefield with the power of magic and centrifugal rotation.

Then the igniting explosion fuse penetrated and detonated it, and the fire flashed at this moment. The huge fireball could be seen even from thirty to forty kilometers away.

The huge explosion and impact instantly burned and crushed the God-affiliated warriors hiding in the bunker in the core explosion area into meat patties.

And the explosion didn't stop there. The combined secondary contraction and collapse of the three cloud bombs combined with the high temperature and vacuum zone of the explosion wiped out the Redemption rebels within a three-kilometer radius of the core area.

When the smoke slowly receded, the number of Redemption rebels suppressed in the encirclement was reduced to only those in the outer circle, with a total number of less than 80,000.

The violent double explosion caused Chaofan in the core area to be seriously injured even though he was on guard.
