You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 110
Chapter 110: Pincer Attack
“Fall back! ”
Seeing that the black vortex was temporarily uncontested, the Ghost Race Commander ordered the troops to retreat.
He understood that killing Su Qin’an would automatically break the vortex.
But how to kill him?
To kill him, one had to cross the vortex. How?
Missiles couldn’t even get through. Could ordinary guns and cannons, or even fighter jets, possibly work?
Oh, no, the fighter jets are currently fighting for air superiority with the Chinese Air Force. However, because the cultivators who had freed their hands started throwing arcane arts into the sky, the fighter jets were at a disadvantage.
There was no way, they could only retreat first.
He didn’t believe that China had the ability to maintain this technology for a long time!
This was also the Ghost Commander’s thought.
However, Su Qin’an didn’t need to hold out for long.
Because a white light, like an arrow, shot from the rear into the Ghost Race army.
Following the white light were various figures.
Naturally, it was Xie Yingqing and the eight hundred cultivators.
They circled around, using an invisibility formation, flying at ten thousand meters altitude, evading all the Ghost Race’s detection equipment and sentries, successfully circling to the rear of the Ghost Race army.
As the saying goes, it’s better to arrive at the right time than early. Xie Yingqing and the others arrived at a very opportune moment.
Because the Ghost Race’s attention was focused on Su Qin’an’s black vortex, no one… no ghost paid attention to their rear.
Therefore, Xie Yingqing and her eight hundred troops charged directly in, easily breaking the Ghost Race army’s formation.
To make it seem like they were numerous, each of them created dozens of clones, each clone having their appearance altered by secret techniques. Back and forth, it appeared as if tens of thousands of people were attacking the Ghost Race!
“Ambush! Someone’s ambushing! ”
“Attack! ”
Su Qin’an retracted the vortex, shouted loudly, then charged forward: “Everyone, charge with me! ”
The Ghost Race air force was already at a disadvantage under the cooperation of the Chinese Air Force and the Huaxia Cultivation World. In at most fifteen minutes, the Chinese Air Force would completely seize air superiority.
Within China, sharp-eyed people had already seen the rapidly growing point of light behind the dense Ghost Race army: “What is that? Reinforcements? ”
“Unclear, but it should be. ”
“Who deployed the reinforcements? ”
“Could it be Grandmaster Xie? They just left; did they go around? ”
The Chinese people are also full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, quickly figuring out Su Qin’an and Xie Yingqing’s plan almost perfectly.
But these didn’t matter, because strategies that had already been accomplished wouldn’t cause trouble even if revealed, especially since it was their own people who revealed it.
On the Western Battlefield, following Su Qin’an’s loud shout, the Chinese Army moved in accordance with orders.
“Xiao Lu, you’re a new recruit. We’ll entrust our squad’s only gun to you! Be careful! ”
In the squad, the Squad Leader gave his final instructions before charging to the front lines.
The new recruit called Xiao Lu looked at the “squad’s only gun” in his hand, then at the single-soldier rocket launchers in the hands of his other squad members, falling into thought.
During the Liberation War, a squad only had one gun. Now, a squad still only has one gun?
Holding the squad’s only gun, Xiao Lu felt a great sense of responsibility… what a joke!
He wanted a single-soldier rocket launcher!
The squad’s only gun was too important; he should give it to someone more worthy. He couldn’t bear this heavy burden!
Under the pincer attack of the cultivator army, the Ghost Race’s formation was quickly disrupted, causing the Ghost Race army to suddenly fall into chaos, fighting independently, completely losing coordination.
Especially Xie Yingqing’s rear army, though small in number, were all elites, each with a cultivation base at the Condensation Core Triple Stage or higher. They entered the Ghost Race army like entering an uninhabited land, using their abilities to the fullest extent.
“Stop them! Don’t let them converge! ”
The Ghost Race Commander quickly discovered the problem with the two armies, so he immediately issued an order to attack the rear army with all his might.
The most feared thing about a rear ambush is that they would break through the army and join forces with the front.
So I simply won’t let you converge. Even if you have ten thousand people, what can you do?
The idea was beautiful, and the reality was quite good.
At least, under their efforts, ten thousand people were soon reduced to less than a thousand.
“This ambush force is just like that! ”
The Ghost Race Commander sneered: “What kind of strength are they to ambush! Attack them! Attack them hard! Don’t leave a single prisoner of war! ”
The strategy was sound, and the effect was remarkable; however, reality didn’t give them much time.
Because within China, the plasma shield opened another opening, and fifty DF Missiles roared past with flames, like a brief but brilliant meteor shower.
DF Missiles, mission accomplished!
Once launched, they would definitely hit the target, because of Qian’s Trajectory, which the Ghost Race couldn’t stop.
Three minutes to Japan, twenty-one minutes to Uncle Sam, and one hour to the whole world. Moreover, the distance between the DF Missiles and the Ghost Race’s Central Asia command center wasn’t even as long as the distance from China’s east coast to Japan.
“What’s going on, what did you find? Why were DF Missiles launched? ”
“This is the first time I’ve seen the power of DF Missiles since they were created! ”
“Not just us, I bet even the military Big Shots are seeing it for the first time. ”
A minute and a half later, DF Missiles carrying 5. 5 million tons of nuclear warheads arrived at their destination at Mach 24. A dazzling flash ignited in the slightly north area of Central Asia, making Su Qin’an feel very happy.
Western Theater Command, the Commander-in-Chief looked at the distant firelight and sneered: “The command center has been bombed; I wonder if you’ll still run! ”
They had to run.
The Ghost Commander had already given the order for the troops on the East Sea and Western Battlefield to retreat and not engage in protracted warfare.
So every battlefield presented this scene: The Ghost Race, which had initially been aggressive and attacked anyone they saw, suddenly retreated desperately, wishing everyone could be like the Genetically Modified Troops, directly flying back to base.
Oh, no, there are only five or six hundred Genetically Modified Troops left.
What about the others?
They were all sucked into the vortex and transferred to who knows where!
By the way, the destination of this spatial transfer wasn’t limited to Earth.
In other words, a considerable number of Ghost Race Elite Troops were currently floating in unknown extraterrestrial locations!
“Don’t pursue a routed enemy! ”
Su Qin’an quickly stopped the cultivators who were eager to continue chasing: “They’ve already suffered heavy losses this time! ”
Only Xie Yingqing and a few others continued to chase for a while, capturing several Genetically Modified Humans.
They hadn’t forgotten Su Qin’an’s initial instruction to “capture a few live ones”.
“We won! We won! ”
It was unknown who shouted first, igniting the ambiance of the entire scene.
Countless soldiers shouted, and countless people cheered.
China hadn’t fought a hot war in over forty years. Forty years of peace had led Western media to believe that the Chinese soldiers’ iron will had been eroded by peace.
But this war proved them wrong. The iron will of the Chinese soldiers would never disappear.
Although not many countries witnessed this war, it completely shook China’s military prestige, telling the world that China is still the China with a brilliant five-thousand-year history, and not someone to be trifled with, even by a technologically advanced Ghost Race.
