Chapter 1174: Persecution
Hadrian’s Wall.
This is the Great Wall built by the Roman emperor Hadrian to resist foreign invasions. Over the years, now this Great Wall, which has only a mound left, has become the boundary between Scotland and England.
“Just charge again! The Scots won’t be able to resist for long.”.
In the trench on the south side of Hadrian’s Wall, Butrin ordered another charge.
After Scotland declared independence, he sent his troops northward, and an army of 300,000 Englishmen encountered Scottish resistance at Hadrian’s Wall.
In order to defeat each other these days, both sides are fighting very tragically. However, compared with the Scottish militias, most of the English soldiers are veterans on the battlefield. Coupled with the advantages in numbers, they only took two months Trin took the initiative in the war.
Faced with the decreasing number of Scottish troops, he continued to charge, hoping to break through this line of defense and enter Scotland within three days.
It’s just that his expectations soon fell through. When the steel monster with military green paint swooped down from the Scottish Highlands, all the English soldiers were shocked by the scene before them.
“The army of the empire has landed.”
Butlin said that although the coast was blocked by the empire, this did not mean that Britain was completely cut off from the outside world.
It is not impossible to cross the English Channel in secret and alone. Because of this, they still maintain intermittent contact with the European continent.
Through intelligence, he determined that the monster in front of him was an imperial tank, and Scotland had no ability to make such a machine.
“Swish swish”
When the English soldiers were in a panic, a formation of forty-two tanks stopped at the front of the Scottish position.
Then one after another shells roared from the back of the Scottish position. When these shells fell on the English position, a huge explosion appeared.
A huge crater was blown out at the point where the shells fell. Soldiers hit by the shells were directly lifted into the air by the air waves, and their bodies were even torn apart.
But what frightened them even more was that they couldn’t find the position of the enemy’s artillery in their visible range.
Scottish positions.

Lu Jun and Heinason are observing the English position on the south side of the Great Wall. After preparing the army, he immediately led the army into the battlefield.
After all, Falkland is only two hours away from the battlefield by car.
“Hahaha, these damn English people should be bombed enough.” Heinason smiled very happily.
Because of the range of the howitzer, their artillery was set up on a high ground, five kilometers away from the front line, and this also prevented the artillery from being attacked by the enemy.
In Lu Jun’s eyes, the howitzer shells fell like raindrops in the torrential rain in the Pinghu Lake, setting off one wave after another.
Every time an explosion, gunpowder and dust fly in the air, taking the lives of English soldiers.
Looking at this scene, Lu Jun pressed his lips tightly. With such a significant weapon generation difference, England’s failure is doomed.
In this war, he didn’t want to waste too much time, so he ordered the tanks and infantry to advance after the carpet bombing of artillery fire.
Like the Austrian War, he got the command of the Scottish army after entering the battlefield, so now the Imperial army is only responsible for fire coverage, and the melee and fighting on the battlefield are carried out by the Scots themselves.
This determination Heinason did not refuse. It would make more sense for him to let the Scots defeat the English and win again.
“Boom boom boom”
“Da da da”
A forward composed of forty-two tanks slowly advanced towards the English position, and the tanks continued to move forward. Shooting at important targets while the machine gunner pouring bullets.
The Scottish soldiers followed behind the tanks, and their positions in the trenches are now occupied by the Empire’s machine gunners and mortarers.
The soldiers of the Empire will clear the roadblocks for them to advance.
England positions.
The dust from the shaking off of Butrin climbed up from the trench, and then he saw the tank advancing and the Scottish soldiers following the tank.
He pulled up the adjutant lying in the trench and asked him to lead the English soldiers to prepare for a counterattack, but found that the bullet hole between the adjutant’s brow was bleeding.
This scene reminded him of the battle of India. At that time, he was facing this kind of desperation, but this time they had no retreat.
Shutting through the trenches, Butlin looked for alive soldiers to join the counterattack, but what frightened him was the casualties caused by the shelling.
The tank moved quickly, and the English soldiers had not organized an effective counterattack. At this time, the Scottish soldiers behind the tank rushed into the trench.
They took out the hand grenades supported by the Empire and threw them into the trenches of the Englishmen, and jumped into the trenches with the bayonet firing guns to fight the English soldiers.
While the imperial tanks provided fire support to the Scots in front of the English positions, machine guns continued to sweep the area where the English resisted fiercely.
It’s just that the English people have a strong will to fight. Although many English people have died under the shelling, they are still fighting stubbornly against the Scots.
The first group of Scottish soldiers to attack was soon rushed back by the English soldiers who still had the advantage.
In the face of this situation, Lu Jun was very indifferent. The number of soldiers in England was almost three times that of Scottish soldiers. Even with the fierce firepower of the empire, it could not kill so many enemies in a single time.
Therefore, such a recoil cannot be successful at one time and requires repeated consumption.
Hainason had already known Lu Jun’s plan in advance, so he didn’t get furious about the failure of the first charge.
According to Lu Jun’s words, the more impatient England is now, the less they can be anxious, because England’s current fragile economy may be dragged down by this war of attrition at any time.
On the contrary, Scotland, which has the support of the empire, will receive a large number of food commodities from Africa and is not afraid of consumption with England.
At the same time, in order to force England to surrender, Xie Yuan is leading the Marines to attack London. This is his and Lu Jun’s plan to attack.
Lu Jun is responsible for trapping Butrin on the front line, so that he can wipe out the English aristocracy.
“Bombard!”
Looking at the pocket watch, the Imperial battleship outside London suddenly launched an attack on the London port. One after another, shells fell on the London dock, turning this place into a hell of fire again.
Only when the citizens of London thought that the empire was just a routine bombing, they suddenly discovered that a number of landing craft were carrying soldiers towards the Port of London.
The London garrison that discovered this immediately concentrated on the port, but the Imperial soldiers quickly occupied the dock and constructed a defense system.
The machine gun burst into flames, and the bullets flew towards the British soldiers who were continuously strengthening.
