Chapter 1176: Persecution

Hadrian's Wall.

It was built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian to defend against foreign invasions, and over the years, only mounds of earth remain, and now the Great Wall has become the boundary between Scotland and England.

"One more charge! The Scots could not resist for long. ”。

In the trench on the south side of Hadrian's Wall, Buterin ordered another charge.

After the declaration of Scotland independence, he marched north, where an army of 300,000 English encountered Scotland resistance at Hadrian's Wall.

These days, in order to defeat each other, both sides fought very fiercely, but compared to the Scottish militia, many English soldiers were veterans of the battlefield, coupled with the numerical advantage, Buterin only two months had the initiative in the war.

Faced with a dwindling Scottish army, he continued to charge, hoping to break through the line and enter Scotland within three days.

However, his expectations were quickly disappointed, and all the English soldiers were shocked by the sight before them as the green-painted steel monsters swooped down from the Scottish Highlands.

"The Empire's troops have landed."

Buterin said that although the coast was blocked by the Empire, it did not mean that Britain was completely cut off from the outside world.

It was not impossible to cross the English Channel covertly and alone, and because of this, they maintained intermittent contact with the European continent.

Through intelligence, he determined that the monster in front of him was the Empire's tank, and that Scotland was not capable of building such a machine.

"Whoosh ......"

At a time when the English soldiers were in a panic, a formation of forty-two tanks stopped at the front of the Scottish position.

Then shells whizzed from behind the Scottish positions, and when the shells landed on the English positions, a huge explosion occurred.

All the landing points of the shells were blown out of huge craters, and the soldiers who were hit by the shells were directly swept into the air by the air waves, and their bodies were even torn apart.

But what frightened them even more was that the position of the enemy artillery could not be found at all in their visible range.

Scottish positions.

Lu Jun and Hennathan were observing the English positions on the south side of the Great Wall, and after rearing their troops, he immediately led them into battle.

After all, Falkland was only a two-hour drive from the battlefield.

"Hahaha, these damn Englishmen should have been bombed enough." Henathan smiled happily.

Because of the range of the howitzers, their artillery was placed on a high ground, five kilometers from the front line, which also prevented the artillery positions from being attacked by the enemy.

In Lu Jun's eyes, the howitzer shells fell on the Pinghu Lake like raindrops in a torrential rain, setting off one wave after another.

With each explosion, gunpowder smoke and dust flew through the air, taking the lives of English soldiers.

Looking at this scene, Lu Jun pursed his lips tightly, the end of England's defeat was already doomed with such a significant difference in weapon generation.

In this war, he did not want to waste too much time, so after the carpet bombardment of artillery, he ordered the tanks and infantry to move forward.

As in the Austrian War, he was given command of the Scottish army after entering the battlefield, so that the Imperial army was now only responsible for firepower coverage, and the hand-to-hand combat and fighting on the battlefield were carried out by the Scots themselves.

This determination was not refused, and it would have been more meaningful for him to let the Scots win against the English.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Da Da Da ......"

The forward of forty-two tanks slowly advanced towards the English positions, and as they went, the tanks fired at important targets while the machine gunners poured bullets.

The Scottish soldiers followed the tanks, and now their positions in the trenches were occupied by Imperial machine gunners and mortars.

The soldiers of the Empire will clear the roadblocks for them to advance.

……

English positions.

Buterin shook off the dust and climbed up from the trench, and then he saw the advancing tank and the Scottish soldiers following it.

He pulled up the adjutant lying in the trench and asked him to lead the LinkedIn Glenn soldiers to prepare for a counterattack, only to find that the bullet hole in the adjutant's eyebrows was bleeding.

This scene suddenly reminded him of the picture of the battle in India, when he was facing this desperate situation, only this time they had no way out.

Shuttling through the trenches, Buterin searched for alive soldiers to join the counterattack, but to his horror were the casualties caused by the shelling.

The tanks were moving very fast, and before the English soldiers could organize an effective counterattack, the Scottish soldiers behind the tanks rushed into the trenches.

They took out grenades supported by the Empire and threw them into the English trenches, and jumped into the trenches with their rifles with bayonets to fight the English soldiers hand-to-hand.

The Empire's tanks provided fire support to the Scots in front of the English positions, and machine guns constantly swept into areas where the English were fiercely resisting.

It's just that the English have a strong will to fight, and although many of them died under the shelling, they are still stubbornly fighting the Scots.

The first attacking Scottish soldiers were soon driven back by the English soldiers, who were still superior in numbers.

Faced with this situation, Lu Jun was very indifferent, the number of English soldiers was almost three times that of Scottish soldiers, even if the empire's firepower was fierce, but it could not kill so many enemies for a while.

Therefore, such a counter-charge cannot be successful at one time, and it needs to be consumed repeatedly.

Henathan had already learned of Lu Jun's plan in advance, so he didn't flap out about the failure of the first charge.

According to Lu Jun's words, the more impatient England is now, the less they can be in a hurry, because England's now fragile economy could be dragged down by this war of attrition at any time.

On the contrary, Scotland, which had the support of the Empire, would receive a large quantity of food goods from Africa, and would not be afraid of consuming it with England.

At the same time, in order to force England to surrender, Xie Yuan was leading the Marines to attack London, which was his and Lu Jun's plan to attack the west.

Lu Jun was responsible for trapping Buterin on the front line so that he could wipe out the English nobility.

"Shelling!"

Looking at the pocket watch, the Imperial warships outside London suddenly launched an attack on the port of London, and one after another shells landed on the London docks, turning the place into a fire hell again.

It was only when the citizens of London thought that the Empire was just a routine bombardment, and they were surprised to find landing craft carrying soldiers towards the port of London.

Aware of this, the London garrison immediately concentrated on the harbor, but the Imperial soldiers quickly captured the docks and built up a defensive system.

The machine guns spewed tongues of fire, and bullets flew towards the British soldiers who were constantly reinforcing them.
