Warlords: Rise of the System

Under the bombardment of 6000 artillery shells, although the bandits had a strong combat awareness, they still suffered heavy casualties due to the indiscriminate attack.

In the minds of the bandits, the army of Tianlong Kingdom rarely has such powerful firepower.

They had never anticipated that this army would use mortars to carry out indiscriminate bombing.

Seeing the heavy casualties among the bandits, Lu Tianhao ordered a pursuit.

The first and second companies pursued the bandits in the east, while the third company, the reconnaissance company, and the battalion headquarters' direct subordinates pursued the bandits in the west.

Lu Tianhao possesses the fighting strength of a soldier king, and he and his soldiers pursued the enemy.

After repeated mortar bombardments, there were not many bandits left on both sides, and even fewer who were physically intact.

The bandit soldiers at the east and west ends each had only one squadron of 181 people, which was nearly half the number of Lu Tianhao's army.

Under the mortar bombardment, more than half of the troops were killed or wounded, and the gap in troop strength became even greater.

In addition, their weapons and equipment are not as good as Lu Tianhao's troops.

Under the pursuit of Lu Tianhao's troops, the bandits were defeated before they could form an effective defense. The remaining bandits were not spared and were all killed.

The system's voice also sounded at this time.

"Ding, we destroyed two squadrons of enemies, a total of 362 people, and received double the reward, points."

There was a smile on Lu Tianhao's face. The harvest was pretty good. He now had more than 20,000 points.

Although Lu Tianhao's troops had received training, they still lacked combat experience, and twenty or thirty soldiers were injured by the bandits.

Fortunately, none of the injuries were fatal. Lu Tianhao urgently trained ten soldiers to become doctors, who provided emergency treatment to the wounded, and their conditions have now stabilized.

A company of troops was left behind, escorting the wounded on a slow march.

Lu Tianhao led the rest of the troops and quickly rushed towards his own village.

Lu Tianhao was anxious to go home and confirm the safety of his family, and kept urging the team to speed up.

When they approached the village, they saw a heartbreaking scene: the village had been destroyed by war, the houses had collapsed and it had become a ruin.

Lu Tianhao was in an extremely heavy mood. He led his troops to quickly launch a search and rescue operation, hoping to find survivors.

In the ruins, they found some injured villagers, and Lu Tianhao immediately organized a medical team to provide treatment.

However, what's worse is that they learned the enemy's real purpose - to plunder the village's resources.

Lu Tianhao was very clear about this.

The enemy came across the sea and did not hesitate to launch an all-out war because of the scarcity of domestic resources, so they came to plunder the resources of Tianlong Kingdom.

The looting of villages and the killing of civilians were all to satisfy the greed of these bandits.

Human nature is greedy. As the bandits from Haisang Kingdom occupied more and more territories, they were no longer satisfied with plundering.

They wanted to occupy the entire Tianlong Kingdom and make it their colony.

Although Lu Tianhao is furious now, the safety of his family is the most important.

He quickly rushed to his home, but the scene before him still made him extremely sad.

My own house has been completely razed to the ground.

Lu Tianhao suppressed the grief in his heart and led the soldiers in the search.

What made Lu Tianhao feel a little relieved was that he had turned the entire ruins over and did not find his family under the rubble.

Wu Qiuyue, one of the two female classmates, consoled him, "Captain, your family members may have evacuated in advance."

Lu Tianhao also held a glimmer of hope in his heart, "I hope they have withdrawn in advance."

Another female classmate, Zhao Yali, also consoled him, "Captain, your family will surely be blessed by good fortune."

Lu Tianhao was still a little worried, so he found a few surviving villagers who had now calmed down.

After questioning, we learned that most of the villagers, upon hearing the news that the enemy was coming to plunder, took their belongings and fled.

About 20 miles to the west, there is a big mountain with dense forests. The people are preparing to flee into the mountain to avoid the war.

Lu Tianhao also learned from the villagers that a group of several hundred bandits were chasing the fleeing villagers more than an hour ago.

Lu Tianhao had a guess that the enemy force that plundered the village was most likely a brigade of bandits.

I have already destroyed three infantry squadrons of the bandits, and the remaining bandits should be the strongest force in the brigade.

Lu Tianhao didn’t know how many people there were in a group of bandits in this world.

The Haisang Kingdom is very similar to an island country in his previous life. According to their military deployment, the number of troops in a battalion should be around 1100.

It seems that there are still more than 500 bandits left.

The company escorting the wounded also rushed over. Lu Tianhao continued to let them escort the wounded and surviving civilians, follow behind his team, and march slowly and safely.

Lu Tianhao led the rest of the troops and quickly chased westward.

His family was among the villagers fleeing westward, and if they were caught up by the bandits, they would most likely be killed.

Lu Tianhao didn't dare let the soldiers rest, so he quickened his pace and chased after them.

An hour later, the scouts ahead sent news that they had sighted the bandit troops.

This group of bandits have caught up with the fleeing civilians, and they are now killing and looting them.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianhao became extremely anxious and ordered his troops to advance at full speed to protect the villagers ahead.

By the time Lu Tianhao arrived with a large army, the people had already fled in all directions, and the bandits were still dividing their forces to pursue them.

Lu Tianhao didn't care about any strategy or tactics and rushed forward with his men.

"Beat them! Beat them hard! We can't let these beasts escape."

Lu Tianhao took the lead, holding a submachine gun in his hand, and started shooting at the bandits.

The bandits were enjoying the looting and didn't expect that someone would chase them from behind.

Caught off guard, a large number of the bandits who fell behind fell down at once.

The more than 400 people led by Lu Tianhao have all received systematic training. Both in terms of marksmanship and strength, they are already considered elite soldiers of this period.

The bandit commander reacted quickly. After hearing gunshots behind him, he immediately organized people to defend.

The commander of the bandits ordered the bandits who were chasing the civilians to stop chasing the civilians and quickly return to set up defenses.

Seeing that the bandit army had taken some defenses, Lu Tianhao did not dare to be careless. He quickly ordered the soldiers to find cover to avoid the enemy's counterattack.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
