Li Yu sat on the grass, stroking the SVD sniper rifle and pressing the magazine in.

He bought this just before he set off.

Of course Li Yu could afford to buy more expensive and newer sniper rifles, but he was used to using the model in his hand, so using those new ones would make him feel uncomfortable.

The sky was already covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it might rain at any time.

Suddenly, a loud rumble exploded from a distance.

Li Yu subconsciously thought it was thunder, but after listening carefully, it was not difficult to tell that it was not thunder, but the sound of cannons.

Lovint, smoking a cigarette, came over, sat down next to him, and said, "The bombardment has begun, and the next thing to do is the infantry team."

Li Yu subconsciously said: "After the bombardment is over, will the infantry attack the position?"

Lovingt shook his head: "No, the infantry will move later. You can't wait for the bombardment to end, otherwise the enemy will easily come back. The artillery shells must open the way while the infantry follows up. The artillery shells will land several hundred meters in front of the infantry.

Mi, let’s push forward together, do you understand what I’m saying?”

Li Yu was slightly startled: "Infantry and artillery coordination?"

Lovint smiled and said: "What age are we in now? Don't you think that our field brigade can't even do basic infantry and artillery coordination?"

Li Yu scratched his head: "Really? But in my impression, many troops in the Kingdom of God still use manual bolt-action rifles..."

Lovint: "You are talking about the church guards, right? They are just the security forces of the Kingdom of God. Of course, the church guards used to be their main force, but as the military technology of the old era was recovered, both sides were rapidly upgrading.

Generations have changed, and today, the church guards who still use manual rifles just maintain order."

Li Yu thought for a moment: "With the strength of the Kingdom of God's rule, it is indeed enough to have a gun behind them. However, I thought the protagonist on the battlefield would be the divine envoy."

Lovint smiled and said: "It's useless to fire a volley of heavy firepower, even the God Envoy. The artillery we used this time is much more than the last attack. Let me tell you, our tactics are very simple - first

Artillery clears the ground and clears the way, and then the infantry follows up, takes the area just plowed by artillery shells, keeps approaching the city of Chennai, and finally attacks it, it's that simple."

Li Yu: "But it's impossible to clean the entire city of Chennai with artillery, right? There are many unarmed civilians inside that ring of city walls."

Lovent patted him on the shoulder: "This is our mission here."

Li Yu recalled the battlefield mission description: "But the mission we received was not a street fight, but a peripheral sweep."

"Of course, those responsible for street fighting are also infantry, and we are mages..." Lovent's voice suddenly rose, and he seemed very excited, "Look, the infantry is moving!"

Li Yu looked intently.

I saw many figures with guns moving in the dense forest a little further away. They were walking quickly towards the direction of Chennai City, toward the flames of the shells.

"You bastards, move, move!" Lovint shouted, jumping up and shouting at the apprentices behind him.

The 18 apprentices were already ready, holding their own weapons and standing up one after another.

Li Yu also looked back and met Hilelia's eyes.

The girl wore a camouflage helmet like everyone else. However, the fair and delicate face under the helmet seemed a bit out of place with the battlefield environment.

But looking at the other apprentices, their temperaments generally don't look like those who want to wallow in blood and fire. Most of them, both men and women, are young and beautiful. However, Li Yu can't tell how many of them have natural faces.

, how many people fine-tuned it. In short, looking around, the one who is most consistent with the battlefield environment is probably the rough fat guy Lovint.

"Follow me!" Lovent shouted and quickly took steps.

Li Yu and other apprentices followed him and surrounded the side of the battlefield. Although they took a longer detour than the infantrymen of the association's field brigade, these people with chips and nanomachines were obviously faster.

After running for several kilometers, Lovingt finally stopped.

He found an excellent and relatively safe place with a good view. At the edge of the forest, there was cover, and he could see the situation of Chennai City and nearby positions.

Both sides have heavy firepower weapons, so of course the troops of the Kingdom of God will not trap themselves in the city and be beaten. Instead, they will scatter outside the city, using artillery and elite troops with automatic rifles to hide in trees and foxholes to try to stop them.

Advancement of the association's field team.

However, the Association's artillery is obviously much more powerful.

The scattered artillery positions on the Kingdom of God's side were quickly blown away. The infantry who scattered and hid were taken away by the barrage of artillery fire before they had time to cause damage to the association's infantry.

There were only a few survivors, and the occasional survivors were so overwhelmed that they couldn't even lift their heads, and were easily wiped out by the Association's infantry who followed the artillery fire.

Li Yu murmured: "It's much easier than expected..."

Lovent smiled and said: "Then we must be secretly gathering our forces to attack the city of Chennai."

Li Yu glanced at him, smiled, and didn't say much.

Hilaria came over and patted Li Yu's arm gently. The two looked at each other and immediately understood the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

Because she also knows about watches.

Now that Li Yu went to the battlefield with his watch, the city of Chennai still did not prepare in advance and could only rush to the battle. This may mean that Du Peng did not report any information to the Kingdom of God at all.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the dark clouds overhead, but amid the constant roar of the artillery, the thunder was not very noticeable.

After a while, it started to rain.

Big raindrops fell on the ground, becoming more dense.

Li Yu raised his head and saw a curtain of rain rising between the sky and the earth.

Looking further forward, I saw the exploding artillery fire spread out flatly like a line, and then the barrage pushed forward...

In the rain curtain, the firelight was still bright and dazzling. However, the smoke and dust raised by the explosion were washed away by the rain curtain.

When they were about to touch the city wall, the barrage of artillery fire finally stopped. And the troops of the Kingdom of God who tried to block the attack outside the city also made no sound.

Li Yu asked: "Aren't you going to blow up the city wall?"

Lovingt shook his head: "Of course we have to blow it up, but there is no need to use artillery. It would be too easy to accidentally injure people in the city."

I saw that among the infantrymen closest to the city wall, many had attached micro grenade launchers to their guns. A salvo of high-explosive grenades destroyed a large area of ​​the city wall.

Lovingt said leisurely: "The city wall can only serve as a symbol. When it comes to attacking the city wall, the city's clothes have actually been stripped naked."

Li Yu: "But there will be street fighting next."

Lovingt: "I've already tried so hard, but can I still get in?"

Li Yu glanced at Hilelia beside him.

The girl's pretty face was slightly red, but she didn't make any unnecessary movements or expressions. She just stared at the battlefield ahead.
