The next day, around eleven o'clock.

Alarms rang loudly in the bunker outside the Macedonian military factory.

The lookouts hurriedly put down their binoculars, sprinted down the observation tower in two steps, and hurriedly ran into the military factory.

Soon, Davis, who was in the combat command room, received an urgent message from the sentins.

"The Yan people are coming towards us from the west with their large army!"

After hearing the news, Davis did not look too panicked. He almost did not sleep last night, thinking about when the Yan people would launch the attack. He guessed that they might have to wait for a few days, after all, they had just finished a battle, but if they really wanted to launch an attack in a short time, that would be normal, because it seemed that this was their style.

He calmly gave the order: "Hold your post and defend it with all your strength. Our fortifications can withstand their attack!"

"Yes, sir!" The messenger took the order and left, while Tachino said solemnly:

"Sir, Harris was right. The Yan people actually launched an attack so quickly."

Davis said grimly, "This time the Yan people's attack will no longer be a small-scale attack like before. They will definitely use all their artillery to carry out continuous bombing."

"Be prepared, this will be a tough defense battle."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the command room looked gloomy. The pressure before the upcoming war had fallen on everyone.

Four kilometers west of the Macedonian Arsenal.

The marching Yan Army artillery battalion arrived at their destination, and after arriving, they immediately built an attack line on the spot, with forty artillery pieces in a row, a total of ten columns, and three hundred and twenty artillery pieces facing the west of the Macedonian factory.

After twelve o'clock, with a command.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The sudden sound of gunfire was deafening, and hundreds of shells whizzed straight towards the fortifications of the Macedonian Arsenal!

During the previous day's shooting, the artillerymen had already measured the distance, so the accuracy of the artillery fire launched at this moment had been significantly improved. Without exception, all the shells in the first round of artillery fire hit the fortifications.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sturdy bunker was subjected to endless artillery bombardment and explosions continued to sound. Although the Gothic soldiers in the bunker had been mentally prepared, the destructive power caused by the shells when they really fell on their heads still made them sweat profusely.

Dust was constantly falling from overhead, and the soldiers clinging to the wall could even feel a slight vibration. Although the bunker had been reinforced in the past few days, the shelling it was receiving at this moment was too intense, even far exceeding that of the previous day.

Previously, the enemy's artillery shells fell everywhere and were not concentrated, but today was different. At this moment, the enemy's artillery shells were particularly concentrated, and the bunkers became their primary target. Under such intensive firepower bombardment, no one knew how long these fortifications could hold out.

In anxiety, shells fell round after round, and some of the shooting windows on the bunker were even damaged. This made the Gothic gunners in the windows realize that the situation was not good, and they quickly dragged the artillery to the corner of the wall. After all, they had no way to launch an artillery attack now. The Yan Army was too far away, and the shells fired by their side could not hit them at all. They would only have the opportunity to launch a counterattack when the enemy soldiers launched an advance.

At the gate of a factory in the middle of the factory area, Davis was watching the artillery fire from the west. This place was nearly one kilometer away from the western bunker and was the core location of the military factory, so he was not worried that the shells would be fired here. However, looking at the fierce attack launched by the enemy at this moment, he still felt more and more uneasy.

"Sir, please come in. The soldiers will report the current battle situation to us." Tachino, who was standing inside the factory, shouted nervously to Davis outside the door.

"It doesn't matter, the shot can't reach here." Davis didn't even turn his head, still looking outside.

As the main target of the Yan Army, the bunker became the center of concentrated fire, but some shells still passed through the top of the bunker and fell into the factory area. Therefore, Davis ordered everyone to evacuate to the fortifications early, and the factories in various places became the best defensive fortifications at this moment.

The longest distance between factories is only a few hundred meters, so if the enemy really wants to break through, the soldiers inside can react in time to intercept. But this is definitely not what Davis wants to see. The best defense must be to stop the enemy outside.

But seeing the enemy's current offensive, Davis's worries grew.

"Sir, I don't think they can attack for long. They just fought a battle yesterday, so they won't have that much ammunition in stock." Tachino said at this time.

Hearing this, Davis turned his head to look at him, then walked towards him in silence.

"I hope so." Davis said as he walked past the sweaty Tachino.

-

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had already darkened, outside the Macedonian Military Factory, inside the Yan Army camp.

Qin Ze, holding the telescope, slowly withdrew his gaze. Several hours of bombing had achieved some results. Those bunkers were already in tatters, and the outside of the walls were full of potholes. It was a pity that even though it had become a dangerous wall, it still stood.

But this was within Qin Ze's expectations. After all, this was the Golts' military factory, so how could it not be solid? Then, he gave the order in a cold voice:

"Let the cavalry march out now!"

"The main force is ready for battle. Once the city wall collapses, charge in immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The messenger took the order and left.

Immediately, several cavalry squads rushed towards the military factory in a vertical formation.

As the cavalry advanced, the Goltish defenders in the bunker immediately reported the news to Davis after discovering it.

This urgent message made Davis realize that the enemy was about to launch a strong attack, and he immediately ordered:

"Intercept them! Don't let them rush over!"

But this order was really difficult to execute, because the Yan army launched a single-sided bombardment, and there were only two bunkers on this side. Although there were dozens of shooting windows in the bunkers, after an afternoon of bombardment, many windows were blown open. The gunners had to be careful of stray bullets that might fall in, and they had to aim and shoot. However, the enemy was not attacking in an all-out manner with a large force, but was advancing in small columns, so it was really difficult to intercept them all.

The ground troops that should have been there were completely unable to intercept at this moment, because in the endless bombardment, the two-meter-high defensive lines temporarily built with sandbags and stones on the ground had already been blown to pieces, and even the infantry within the lines had evacuated to the more solid factory.

But even so, the defenders still tried their best to attack the advancing Yan Army column, and as the cavalry got closer and closer, the lookouts in the bunker suddenly changed their faces after seeing the packages they were carrying.

Those were bomb packs.
