Chapter 56 A Great Victory! The End of the Great Wall's Darkest Hour!
Chapter 56: A Great Victory! The End of the Great Wall's Darkest Hour!
Three minutes in the real world.
In the war world where Takuya Kojiro used Time Acceleration, three full days had passed.
Today,
was the final deadline for that officer to complete his mission.
At the very moment daylight was replaced by dark night, a series of system prompts suddenly appeared, interrupting Takuya Kojiro's Time Acceleration!
[System Prompt 1: Due to an absolute order from the Grand Commander's Office, the Bug Empire Command Center has begun frantic conscription. All bug citizens who meet the age requirements and have no major physical disabilities are being forcibly tied to the chariot of evil and sent to the Great Wall War!]
[System Prompt 2: Over the course of three days, the Bug Command Center has conscripted a total of 110,000 soldiers for you!]
[System Prompt 3: In September, your legion stationed at the Great Wall launched a new round of battle with the Great Wall Watch. During this period, the Great Wall soldiers ambushed the Bug Army and achieved a great victory! This is the first major victory for the Great Wall Watch.]
The first two prompts were good news.
The Bug Command Center had indeed found a way under Takuya Kojiro's intense pressure!
Although forced conscription would likely lead to public dissatisfaction,
it was an unavoidable necessity, as expanding the ranks was essential to complete the Great Wall conquest!
However, that last prompt
made Takuya Kojiro's expression even more solemn.
He stared at [System Prompt 3] and asked in disbelief, "How could the soldiers of the Great Wall Watch achieve a great victory so quickly?!"
He simply could not believe this news was true!
Because the Bug Legion's military equipment was so far ahead of the Great Wall Watch's!
In this battlefield where the disparity in strength was so vast,
the soldiers of the Great Wall Watch could rely on their 'fight to the death' will to stall the Bug Army or even cause significant casualties.
But there was no way they could defeat the Bug Army in battle, let alone achieve a 'great victory'!
Even with ambush tactics, it should have been impossible!
[Eh? The soldiers of the Great Wall Watch actually achieved a great victory in this war against the Bug Army? This is a bit too incredible!]
[I think stalling or even severely wounding the enemy is possible, but winning is just unfathomable.]
[How exactly did the Great Wall Watch soldiers win? Did they really rely solely on ambush tactics? I don't think that's possible, right?]
[The Bug Legion was too overconfident.]
[Exactly! They thought they could crush the Great Wall Watch just because they had superior equipment! This excessive confidence sometimes costs them their lives!]
[Even a lion must use its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone when Takuya Kojiro is facing the 'Great Wall Watch' which becomes one of the five permanent members in later generations. He actually failed to order his legion to face every battle with full effort before the war. He's truly a failed Grand Commander.]
.
Amidst the heated discussion of the viewers in the livestream room, Takuya Kojiro could no longer care about the conscription.
Right now,
he desperately wanted to know how the Great Wall Watch had achieved victory in this battle!
"System!"
"Pull up the replay of the battle where the Great Wall Watch soldiers achieved that great victory!"
Under Takuya Kojiro's hurried operation, the system pulled up the replay of that incredible battle.
.
Under the gaze of Takuya Kojiro and the countless viewers in the livestream,
the rugged terrain of the foremost of the Nine Passes was revealed. This was where the Great Wall Watch ambushed two Bug Legions!
"This offensive route was chosen correctly."
"Because only by following this route all the way south and attacking the strategic rear of the Great Wall could the Bug Legion gain an absolute advantage in the Great Wall theater!"
Takuya Kojiro was no fool.
He knew very well the significance of the Bug Legion conquering this place despite the risks.
He agreed with this move.
"The terrain of this conquest route is treacherous; the Great Wall army can use the natural geographical advantage to cause trouble for the Bug Army!"
"But it's merely trouble!"
"The Bug Legion holds an absolute advantage in military equipment. With a strong enough fist, the bugs can crush all trouble!"
Although crossing this strategic line would be troublesome, Takuya Kojiro did not believe the legion would fail!
It was at this moment!
The system's replay screen showed the offensive launched by the Bug Legion!
Under everyone's intense gaze, the Bug First Legion captured Tongcheng with lightning speed and arrived at the Nine Passes area!
The Second Legion also completed its city capture at the same time and arrived at the Pingguan District!
Up to this point, the battle was progressing normally.
The bug's elite army showed the world its terror and displayed the combat power it should have!
However,
just as the two Bug Legions were preparing for coordinated operations,
an unexpected turn of events occurred!
The Bug Legion, wanting to take the foremost of the Nine Passes, collided with tens of thousands of Great Wall warriors!
Here,
both sides engaged in extremely fierce combat!
"Rumble—"
In the images presented by the system, grenades thrown by the Great Wall warriors fell toward the Bug Legion, causing deafening explosions upon impact!
While outnumbered, the Bug Legion, even with advanced equipment, could not gain an advantage over the Great Wall warriors who held the geographical high ground. For a time, the offensive on the Nine Passes area fell into a stalemate!
To avoid delaying the opportunity, the person in charge of the Bug Legion decided to launch a frontal assault on the pass while another group circled behind to take the pass in one move!
The idea was good, but it was not easy to execute!
In the Pingguan District blocking the Bug Legion, there were also tens of thousands of Great Wall warriors who also held the geographical advantage of the pass!
Furthermore,
through the god's-eye view of the replay,
Takuya Kojiro also discovered a unit that the legion Commander had not expected or noticed!
"It won't be easy to take this place by force."
As Takuya Kojiro expected,
the Bug Legion's frontal assault on the pass ultimately ended in failure, and they could only choose alternative tactics for a new round of conquest!
But the defense plan formulated by the Great Wall defenders was also incredibly precise!
Under their repeated defense, the Bug Legion simply could not gain an advantage in the battle, let alone successfully capture anything!
The battle situation became stagnant in an instant.
Until
an unexpected event suddenly occurred, allowing the Bug Legion to seize a fleeting, golden opportunity on the battlefield!
That was,
the defenders at the city entrance collapsed under the pincer attacks of the Bug Legion over the past few days!
Coupled with the fact that reinforcements had been delayed,
the person in charge of guarding this area retreated directly with the remaining troops!
It is quite normal to collapse and retreat when unable to hold out against such a disparity in strength.
This didn't seem like a great opportunity for the Bug Legion.
But why say that?
Naturally, it was because this guarding force did not send any communication to any friendly units when they retreated!
This resulted in the other friendly units knowing nothing about their withdrawal or the fact that this area had fallen overnight!
The neighboring friendly troops saw their own flag on the guard post the day before.
But when they woke up!
It had directly turned into the Bug Legion's 'Rising Sun' flag!
Seeing this, Takuya Kojiro showed a very satisfied smile.
Because if the battle continued to develop like this, it would only be a matter of time before the Bug Legion completed the conquest of this area.
However,
he quickly retracted his smile.
Because Takuya Kojiro suddenly remembered the final result of this battle.
Which was...
The bugs were defeated, and the Great Wall achieved a great victory!
