Section 46 Cannon Fodder 2
"Yes, as long as there are more than six Destroyers......" that's what Redcoat told him. www.biquge.info Don't look at the fact that this electromagnetic cannon can fire continuously, and the Destroyer only has melee weapons, but if you want to say that you can use it to resist large-scale enemy forces, it is really unlikely.
The history of the Earth clearly records that the Maxim machine gun was powerful enough to destroy an entire army with cold weapons in an open area. But on Earth, the enemy facing the heavy machine gun is humans, and now, Lu Wu has to face the Destroyer. It's true that hot weapons have a big advantage over cold weapons, but the speed and power of the Destroyer can greatly compensate for this shortcoming.
According to Red's analysis, despite the fact that this turret is hugely powerful, there are not many enemies that can hold it out, that is, destroy the enemy before they rush over. With the cooperation of the geographical advantage, the number of destroyers it can deal with is still very suspicious when the vision is good. The Reds thought there were only six at most. This is the judgment of a professional (Hongyi is very familiar with the performance of various equipment), and Lu Wu should at least use it as a reference, if not completely.
In other words, as long as there are more than seven Destroyers to attack, then the turret may not be able to stop it. By the way, there is also a premise for this, that is, the turret must be able to shoot accurately - if you encounter a novice who is not handling properly, and the bullets hit the air in a panic, then none of them may be able to stop it.
"Hello, partner, don't worry, you're too important to Kecha Koat, and you'll be safe. The master said disapprerovingly.
The master said so, Lu Wu's grasp is not as great as that of the master. In other words, when it comes to their own life and death, people are always very cautious, and the psychological pressure they are under is by no means as easy as imagined. That's right, the last time they encountered the Destroyer (in the ruins of the Floating Fortress), the Destroyer ignored him. But last time, Lu Wu was bare-handed and couldn't pose any threat to the Destroyer, but this time, he had an electromagnetic turret in his hand.
Perhaps the Destroyer is not of much intelligence, so he obeys Kechagoat's orders. But everyone knows that survival is the instinct of any living being. You can't let an enemy hurt you without resisting or dodging. Besides, even the lower mammals (such as cats and dogs) are angry at the death of their companions. Even if the Destroyer's IQ is not high, how can it be a grade higher than that of ordinary animals, right? When Lu Wu is not a threat, the Destroyer can ignore him, but Lu Wu has a deadly weapon in his hand, how will the Destroyer react?
In fact, Lu Wu has a very strong feeling that the master is actually not so confident. Under the premise that Lu Wu attacked first, he was really not sure that the Destroyer would not launch a counterattack.
Thinking of those locust warriors who looked fierce all over their bodies, Lu Wu found that his palms were actually wet and slippery. Suddenly, he kind of regretted that he should have brought Amber over.
It's a pity that although Amber has the status of a "soldier", no one actually takes it seriously. Due to Lu Wu's previous practice, Amber's "joining the army" did not arouse anyone's suspicion, because everyone thought that Amber and Lu Wu were a couple, and Amber was just for the two to be together more conveniently. Although this approach is a bit silly (as mentioned earlier, there is nothing to join the army now, let alone military salaries and benefits, and even the necessary equipment for soldiers, including weapons), but it is not incomprehensible. This kind of thinking conceals Amber's true identity on the one hand, and causes trouble on the other. For example, this time when the red clothes opposed Amber to participate in the operation, Lu Wu found that he couldn't find a reason.
Unless Lu Wu explained that Amber was a warlock, this kind of dangerous operation would not be the turn of a young, untrained, inexperienced and unequipped girl to participate. If Lu Wu forcibly demanded it, then if nothing else, many people, including Hongyi, would definitely be suspicious. The reason why Amber is able to hide her identity and abilities now is not so much because she is good at hiding her identity, but because others have never doubted it in this direction.
Warlocks are all on high ground, and even the places where they live are not with mortals. If you want to meet a warlock, you must be a middle or high-level person with high authority, and you must pay a high commission to get a warlock to deign to complete a task as agreed. After doing the work and collecting the money, the warlocks will leave without looking back. The above is almost what ordinary people in this world - at least the ordinary people who Lu Wu came into contact with - think of warlocks. In other words, as long as Amber doesn't take the initiative herself, then hiding her identity in a short period of time is not a problem.
"It's almost!" When Lu Wu came back to his senses, he found that Hongyi was already standing in front of him.
Ahead, the Redcoat has set up a large number of obstacles, all of which are of various types. But Rao is so, not so much expecting these things to have a great effect, but just providing some psychological comfort. The Redcoat was rather pessimistic in this regard, and as mentioned earlier, he believed that as long as there were more than seven Destroyers, there was no hope that the position could be held.
In the final analysis, it is because they are not well armed. If there were five or six turrets here, plus some exoskeleton armor with the right weapons, things would be much better. Of course, this is also something that can't be helped, in essence, they are actually a group of remnants of the defeated army, and in a desperate situation, they are forced to come out of the adventure. In fact, even if it is such a fight, it is actually put together with the help of all parties.
"You can go......" Lu Wu calmed down and said.
"Do you really want to be alone?" asked Red.
"The only turret we can get out of is this turret. Lu Wu touched the turret beside him. Thankfully, while it may be high-tech in terms of manufacturing, it's simple to use, as long as the muzzle is aimed at the target and fires - and the shot is so smooth that the reaction force is barely felt. If there is any drawback to it, it is that the rate of fire is not fast enough.
"Twenty exoskeleton armor," Redcoat gritted his teeth, "under my command, here to support ......"
"Does it work?" Lu Wu asked rhetorically. "With what weapon?"
Don't look at a few exoskeletons that can dominate the refugee camp, but when facing the Destroyer, you can understand that exoskeleton armor is nothing on the battlefield. Lu Wu and Hongyi only had exoskeleton armor in their hands, but they did not have other weapons and equipment to match them - such as small electromagnetic guns or something. In this case, using exoskeleton armor to face the Destroyer and bare-handed is no different.
Both men had seen the Destroyer slash the exoskeleton armor in two.
Hongyi looked at Lu Wu, "However, at least it's a little better than you being alone." He said.
I don't know why, Lu Wu remembered what happened when he was in the last refugee camp. Speaking of which, although Hongyi is an all-rounder in various military skills, he does not look like a soldier at all in this regard, and his heart is too soft.
"I'm the only one who can do it. Lu Wu said. "If this thing (he patted the turret next to him) can't stop it, then what's the use of adding you. I'm the only one who can manipulate it. ”
In fact, maybe other people will be better at manipulating, but Lu Wu has a magic ring. Yes, his old-fashioned magic ring had run out of mana, but he had another one, the one he got from Ash. The ring is brand new and has plenty of mana. With the magic ring, even Lu Wu, who has not practiced shooting much (he has more or less made up for it during this time), his shooting skills will surpass that of any soldier.
Of course, what the red clothes didn't know was that Lu Wu didn't pin his fate on this turret at all.
"Besides. Lu Wu looked at the red clothes and said. "Anyway, I have a chance to escape in a critical moment. The Destroyer is fast, but it doesn't seem to be comparable to magic. But if you are a burden, things will be different. ”
Hongyi looked at Lu Wu, but at this moment, what he saw was a strong confidence.
"Have you decided? If that's the case, bring Dumb with you. ”
"What?" Lu Wu was stunned, realizing that Hongyi was saying something he hadn't heard before. "What to bring?"
"Dumb. Redcoat bent down and picked up the dog from the ground.
Well, in fact, Lu Wu already knew that it was not a dog, but a creature similar to a dog. According to the master, this is a sapient creature capable of crossing the sea of ether with its own body. You know, not all intelligent beings can master language. On Earth, in the evolutionary history of human beings, there have been Neanderthals (author's note: the ancient human branch, which had a high brain capacity, but failed to evolve language ability) This type of branch has appeared.
The cute and ugly dog looked at Lu Wu with a pair of jet-black eyes. If it weren't for the reminder of the master, Lu Wu would never have classified this creature as a "smart creature". Alien intelligent beings shouldn't be the destroyer type, right?
"Bring it with you......" Lu Wu asked tentatively. "What can you do?"
"It should work. Red didn't answer directly. "Rest assured, you don't have to spend time taking care of it, dumb can take care of himself. With that, Redcoat placed the dog on the edge of the turret's pedestal.
That's what he said, but as soon as the red-clothed body walked away, Dumb ran away. A few minutes later, Hongyi and the others all withdrew, and Lu Wu was the only one on the side of the electromagnetic turret.
According to the information obtained from Ivan, this is the only way for the Destroyer to patrol. Speaking of which, in fact, after these local troops of the Banshee Gate retreated to the side of Gasha City, they really didn't do nothing. They had completely mastered the patrol route of the Kecha Goyat patrol in this area, and analyzed the actual strength. None of this can be done overnight.
It feels like Ivan has been waiting patiently and has been preparing for this for a long time.
Quite far away from Lu Wu, which should be the center of the entire mining area according to the map, Ivan stood on a high place, watching the intense preparations made by his men.
"Commander, we just got the news that Lu Wu has already set up a position over there. Everything is as we suggested, using effective terrain and relying on electromagnetic turrets as defensive ......" a soldier ran from the rear, panting and reporting to Ivan. "Just like we did last time. ”
"Of course they will follow our advice," Ivan replied. Because this is not a scam or a lie, but the optimal solution and the most correct approach obtained after a combination of various considerations. Even a shrewd person like the Red Cloth can't make a second choice. "Just keep your eyes on the mine. He said. "No one can think of a better option, can they. ”
Naturally, the Sixteenth Legion only had such a small number of men, and it was fortunate that they could control a mine. Even if he is red, he can only keep his eyes on a corner and a corner of the mine, staying on the mine in that remote location.
So they can only turn into cannon fodder.
