Chapter 186 The War of Steel and Flesh! (4K)

On the Great Wall, hundreds of black cannons slowly rose. As the shells were loaded, the cannons, poised to fire, emitted a deep hum.

This is the "Thor's Hammer" heavy artillery array, the core defensive force of the Great Wall.

With a series of booming sounds, the muzzle exploded with a blazing white flash, and the supersonic projectile plowed through the vacuum tunnel in the air.

Before the giants at the forefront could even react, they were blasted into a cloud of blood mist—under such astonishing destructive power, their proud self-healing abilities could no longer function.

This barrage swept across the front lines of the battlefield, instantly vaporizing a large area of ​​giants within a radius of several hundred meters, leaving only scorched craters.

At the same time, hundreds of giant steam-powered crossbows were running at high speed, driven by gears and steam. Hundreds and thousands of quenched steel arrows, each several meters long, rained down like a storm, piercing the giants' skulls, joints, and hearts, pinning them firmly to the ground.

The roar of the steam-powered crossbows was deafening, sweeping over the giants like the scythe of death.

Although they were incredibly powerful, they could never match the heavy artillery array of Thor's Hammer.

Many giants survived despite being pierced by quenched steel arrows, leaving them resembling hedgehogs.

They cried out in pain as they pulled the steel arrows from their bodies. As blood gushed from the wounds, their self-healing abilities kicked in, rapidly repairing their bodies.

Although the giants in the front ranks fell one after another, the giants behind them continued to charge forward.

A deep rumble came from the clouds, like muffled thunder or the panting of a giant beast.

Suddenly, the clouds were torn apart.

The bomber group deployed at high altitude then appeared, and the bomb bays located under the fuselage slowly opened, and hundreds and thousands of high-explosive bombs fell on the giants.

The earth trembled violently the moment it hit the ground.

The shockwave from the explosion swept across the battlefield like an invisible giant hammer, and the earth collapsed in the chain of explosions.

Countless giant bodies were torn to pieces, and blood and steam mixed together to form a blood-red mist that rose up.

Thousands upon thousands of craters, large and small, have merged together to form a scorched basin several kilometers in diameter.

Immediately afterwards, the bomber group dropped thermobaric bombs and napalm bombs.

The already scarred land has once again become a purgatory.

Flames of thousands of degrees rolled like giant waves, the giants' skin carbonized and peeled off, their muscles boiled in the high temperature, their bodies vaporized and evaporated, turning into burning skeletons.

Despite the remarkable success, the vast majority of bombers failed to return safely.

Because the giants launched a stone-throwing attack the instant they emerged from the clouds.

The rubble came rushing in from all directions, with no way to avoid it.

At the same time, countless winged giants appeared in the sky. As they flapped their wings and swept forward rapidly, they manipulated the airflow, disrupting the bombers' flight rhythm.

All the pilots were prepared to dive and drop their bombs with the certainty of death.

To avoid this round of human fire, the giants chose to scatter and run around, indirectly weakening the human firepower.

However, in doing so, the commanders of the Great Wall also achieved their objective.

If these 50,000 giants were to gather together and charge in one direction, they would instantly breach the Great Wall.

Only by breaking their formation with heavy firepower can the pressure on the A9 pass be reduced.

"So strong!"

Leaving the wilderness, I couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

After seeing this, he finally understood why the Great Wall had been able to stand across Nanliuzhou for more than fifty years.

He is currently watching the battle from a watchtower atop the Great Wall.

To help the guards at the pass, the Tomorrow Alliance also chose to contribute.

The Peacemaker has been deployed to an elevator platform, while the Engineer is responsible for repairing the previously damaged vehicles and mobile cities from the rear.

Vanguard gunships were also deployed.

It must be said that the assistance that the Tomorrow Alliance can provide in the face of this magnificent continental-scale fortification is extremely limited.

The attack by the garrison at the pass instantly annihilated three to four thousand giants.

But for a total of more than 50,000 giants, this is far from enough.

The Thor's Hammer heavy artillery array needs to be reloaded, and the heavy steam crossbows need time to cool down due to overload and overheating caused by high-speed operation.

The bomber group was entangled in a rain of gravel, air currents, and winged giants, making it difficult to provide effective fire support.

Without the powerful firepower to contain them, the forty to fifty thousand giants scattered and charged toward the Great Wall in a mighty wave.

What humans need to defend is a city wall that is thirty or forty kilometers long.

The level 1 mobile cities, tank battle groups, and mechanical colossus guards at the forefront of the battle line were deployed to meet the giants.

"How long will it take for the next round of Thor's Hammer heavy artillery strikes?" a commander asked urgently.

"Sir, we'll be ready in 5 minutes!" came a gunner's voice over the communications channel.

The commanders exchanged glances, their expressions turning serious.

This is too long.

The giants in the rear launched a counterattack.

They pulled pieces of building debris from their pockets and violently broke them into a rain of rubble. Some giants even smashed nearby mountains with a single punch, snapping tens of tons of rock layers in two.

Gravel and dirt slowly slipped through the giants' fingers, and every giant's eyes were fixed on the humans on the city wall.

"You! You! You!" they shouted hoarsely, then suddenly swung their arms.

The expressions of the people on the city wall changed drastically.

One of the combatants immediately raised his arm and shouted.

"Everyone, find cover!"

In an instant, countless fragments of stone and boulders were thrown into the sky.

The destructive rain they created completely blotted out the sky.

The first boulder struck the Great Wall.

The thick composite armor plate dented instantly like a bullet casing, and the rivets flew off at high speed under the terrible stress, even leaving dozens of scarlet sparks on the city wall.

The steel structure at the point of impact twisted into a wave-like shape, and the cracking sound of the internal support beams breaking was like the lament of a giant beast. Several scalding steam pipes were squeezed and burst, and high-pressure white mist gushed out from the cracks, steaming a nearby combatant who was unable to get out of the way alive.

What followed was a hellish baptism.

Thousands upon thousands of rubble and boulders poured down like a torrential rain, carving countless gaps and damage into the Great Wall.

A steam-powered heavy crossbow was hit directly by a boulder and smashed into scrap metal.

Thor's Hammer cannon was riddled with holes by countless shards of rock.

A section of the city wall was struck by several huge rocks and could no longer hold on, collapsing layer by layer like building blocks hit by bowling balls.

On the battlefield, the ground troops defending the pass clashed with the giants.

While maneuvering at high speed to evade, the Level 1 mobile city pilots Level 3 weapons to fire at the giants.

The tanks, on the other hand, were loaded with armor-piercing shells and fired at the giants' heads. Armor-piercing shells were far more effective than high-explosive shells against giants; the former's powerful kinetic energy was enough to slice off half of a giant's head, killing it instantly.

The giant mechanical guard slowly stepped forward, using its arms, equipped with high-speed rotating chainsaws and flamethrowers, to kill the enemy.

The human garrison at A9 Pass numbers only about ten thousand.

If we average it out, it's like one person having to fight five giants.

After the devastating rain of rubble ended, more than two thousand giants were the first to cross the battlefield and crash heavily onto the Great Wall.

A violent tremor immediately came from the city wall.

The giants gripped the gap with their hands and tried to climb upwards. The 300-meter-high city wall was not considered high for them, after all, they themselves were over 100 meters tall.

What greeted them was an asphalt waterfall.

Countless gates on the city wall suddenly opened with a roar, and boiling black asphalt gushed out, forming multiple waterfalls of death.

The giants, who were climbing, were suddenly enveloped in the scalding, viscous liquid. Their muscles melted in the high temperature, and their bones twisted instantly.

After being reloaded, Thor's Hammer cannon launched another round of bombardment, instantly annihilating a large number of giants in the distance.

Once the steam-powered crossbows had cooled down, they unleashed another torrent of quenched steel arrows, forcefully suppressing the giants' charge.

The problem is that the front line that the garrison at the pass has to protect is far too long.

The city wall is a full thirty or forty kilometers long.

Some giants even chose to take a longer route, climbing over the Great Wall—which the guards at the pass couldn't currently control.

More and more giants approached the Great Wall and began to ram it.

As the distance decreased, the human defenders also saw all sorts of giants.

The berserker giant becomes more ferocious the more he is injured.

A shield-wielding giant, heavily armored and slow-moving, carrying a massive shield.

A volcano giant that crawls on all fours and carries a small volcano on its back.

A stone giant with an entirely stone structure and extremely strong defense.

A magnetic giant capable of attracting all kinds of metal instruments.

The battle gradually evolved into a fierce, white-hot stage.

A fierce battle of attack and defense ensued between humans and giants around the city walls.

If there's anything to be thankful for, it's that the Great Wall has a very, very large asphalt reserve.

At this moment, asphalt spread in front of the city wall, making it impossible for the giants to move an inch.

On the distant battlefield, human ground forces are engaged in fierce fighting with the giants.

The vast majority of the tanks and mechanical behemoths have been destroyed, leaving only the mobile city forces.

The level 1 mobile cities used their high speed to evade the giants' pursuit, and then fired wildly at their heads.

It must be said that they have taken the "small size, big fist" tactic to its extreme.

One giant after another had its head smashed open and collapsed with a crash.

Many level 1 cities were hit by the giants' rubble, or forcibly grabbed and tackled by the giants.

For them, stopping means death.

The commanders naturally understood that sending ground troops would be a one-way trip.

But in order to defend the Great Wall, they had to send troops to wear down the giants' strength.

A commander immediately made a decision.

“Spray out all the asphalt we have stored!” he said.

The other commander was stunned when he heard this.

While asphalt is practical, it also causes extremely high levels of pollution.

These hot, viscous liquids, once they seep into the earth's surface, can completely clog the soil's pores, extinguishing all life within them.

Within a century, this land will be barren.

Asphalt can also slowly seep into the ground, forming a pollution belt that can stretch for tens of kilometers and even contaminate groundwater.

Looking at the giants charging forward wave after wave in the distance, the commander who made the suggestion gritted his teeth in resentment.

"They are ruthless, so we must be even more ruthless! This continental-level fortification that has stood for over fifty years in Nanliuzhou must not be destroyed in our hands!"

After a vote, the asphalt operation plan was approved.

A few seconds later, countless gates at the base of the Great Wall opened simultaneously.

The long-accumulated 10,000 tons of high-temperature asphalt poured out like a black tsunami.

The charging giants were caught off guard, and their legs were instantly submerged.

The asphalt sea spread across the giants' legs at a speed of several meters per second. The giants struggled to pull their legs out, but like elephants stuck in a swamp, the more they struggled, the faster they sank.

During the ordeal, many giants tried to jump up and escape, but the asphalt, which reached a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius, had already burned through their soles, causing the muscles in their soles to carbonize and fall off amidst the scorching sound.

Many giants lost control and fell into the asphalt sea. Amid their terrified screams, asphalt poured into their mouths and noses, solidifying into suffocating black lumps in their tracheas.

From the sky, the asphalt sea looked like a counter-current, sweeping over the giants.

As soon as the commanders gave the order, the remaining fighter jets in the sky immediately dropped incendiary bombs.

The asphalt sea instantly transformed into a sea of ​​fire, with blue-white flames spreading wildly across the black slime.

The giants transformed into enormous burning fireballs, their flesh and blood becoming the perfect fuel for combustion, their bones crackling and popping in the flames.

The stench of barbecued meat mixed with oil instantly filled the area within a radius of tens of kilometers.

In a short period of time, the tactic of burning the asphalt sea wiped out 10,000 giants.

"How cruel!"

Looking at the raging inferno before him, and the giant struggling and howling in the flames, Li Ye couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

He picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance, discovering that the remaining giants had begun to retreat.

Meanwhile, the remaining Thunderhammer cannons and steam crossbows on the Great Wall took turns firing, sending them off.

"They actually held on." He was somewhat surprised.

The giants might take a detour to attack other walls and passes, but that's none of their business.

It is unknown how much time passed before the raging asphalt sea finally went out.

Amidst the billowing black tide, countless charred, gigantic human bodies remain, clinging to their final, struggling postures.

The giants' terrified expressions were also perfectly preserved.

The entire battlefield had become a surreal art exhibition of death.

Of the human defenders who deployed troops for ground combat, only a few scattered level 1 mobile cities survived.

Because of the scorching asphalt sea in front of them, they had to take a long detour before they could return to the Great Wall.

"We managed to hold on at least."

The commander who made the initial suggestion breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the giants submerged in the asphalt sea, a genuine sense of pride welled up in his eyes.

"The asphalt sea tactic is indeed feasible, and we need to share it with other friendly forces as soon as possible," he muttered to himself.

The other commanders stroked their chins, seemingly lost in thought.

If simply polluting the land can protect the Great Wall, then this method is indeed feasible.

A few minutes later, the reconnaissance planes returned with good news.

The giants have retreated and moved on to expand into other areas.

The commanders couldn't help but nod.

This means the A9 checkpoint can finally be quiet for a while.
