Section 142 Translocation of the king's rook 5
A fallen exoskeleton lies on its stomach in the ruins of the building, blazing with flames. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The leakage of high-energy material that was originally used to drive mechanical action did not form an explosion, but it also formed a raging flame attached to the surface of the steel, turning the steel that could not be burned into a torch.
In fact, after the exoskeleton armor is destroyed, there is only a 1 in 10 chance for the member to escape (if he is not dead), and the rest is either to explode or burn, two possibilities half to half.
Another attack was repulsed.
In fact, this kind of chaotic attack is hardly dangerous. The attacking forces were not so much armies as rabble. They apparently lacked internal organization and coordination, and only carried out a near-suicidal attack with a single courageous spirit. The only thing they can rely on is quantity.
At the front of the line, there were corpses everywhere. The vast majority of them are yellow-skinned refugees from outside the city.
This line of defense is actually very crude and simple. Normally, such a fortified city should have a multi-layered defensive line for street fighting. Between the lines there were specially built fortresses that provided strong firepower. In this case, the defenders can hold out for a long time with an overwhelming disadvantage. But now, there's nothing here...... There is only a temporary line of defense against the buildings.
Of course, this cannot be blamed entirely on the laziness of the regular army. Because they're dealing with Kecha Goat, a powerful creature from another world. This tactic of confrontation between the two camps is clearly of little value. So the construction work was omitted - in fact, everyone knew that once Kechagoyat broke through the outer lines and rushed into the city, nothing could stop the Destroyer's death scythe.
Of course, even if there is nothing, it is still a strong line of defense. This is also normal. The defenders were highly trained soldiers, and the attackers were purely civilians with guns, and the offensive could be described as ferocious and chaotic - inefficient and not a threat at all. In fact, if it weren't for the darkness and the fact that the number of defenders was really small, they might have gone out to fight a counterattack a long time ago.
It's just a mob after all...... However, Gru knew very well that this was just foreplay, and that the meal hadn't even started yet. Besides, he knew better that all of this was supported by Lu Wu from behind.
Stir up a sudden uprising that threatens Grumas...... It's stupid. What kind of achievements can these civilians perform? The only thing that made him slightly uneasy was that there were military warehouses in the small part of the city that had been captured by the insurrection.
The regular army has long since withdrawn, but they have also left behind a lot of surplus equipment that they do not look up to at all. This is normal, limited by status, the officers and soldiers of the regular army cannot simply sell this surplus equipment to the public trade network (and the local army is completely different), so it can only be left to Grumas. The problem is that Grumas is not short of such a little money. So the equipment was stuffed in the warehouse for later use.
I guess it's in the hands of the mob now. I don't know how many, but Gru vaguely knew that there were probably hundreds of exoskeletons - the ones that didn't have the weapons.
But it doesn't really matter, Gru knows very well that no matter what Lu Wu does, he will lose. Gru knew that Grumas's reinforcements would arrive at daybreak. And if you want to take the whole city of Nice overnight, at least these mob-grade rabbles can't do it. If nothing else, they couldn't even attack the improvised line of defense he was holding.
Gru was surrounded by his guards—that is, regular soldiers (and a few of Grummas' men, of course), numbered in small numbers, less than a hundred. But with just such a small number of people, they have already lasted half a night.
In fact, with the exception of some scattered rangers on the periphery who were caught off guard and annihilated, the main force of Grumas had been assembled intact in the rear. Not to mention reinforcements, maybe the troops in Nice City alone will be enough to defeat Lu Wu.
In the ruins ahead, layers of figures appeared again.
Grew's eyes widened, and he looked closely. This time was a little different from the past, there was a sound of snapping and rubbing in the darkness, and the size of those black shadows was significantly larger than that of humans. This time it was the hoplites.
It only took a few seconds for him to relax. Don't look at the number of enemies, but it's clear that there is nothing to fear. First of all, the equipment is not well-equipped, and there are no special weapons for exoskeleton armor battles such as electromagnetic guns and high-heat blades. Secondly, it is clear that not everyone is proficient in operating the car. Because some people are agile and fast, others are stiff and sluggish, like zombies.
……
"Disappointment, disappointment, disappointment!" Grumas lazily looked at the projected video.
Lu Wu's level is so clumsy that it's simply vulnerable. Or did Gru really have something extraordinary? In short, he was able to hold the line with only an army of 100 men. Half a night had passed, and Grumas had gathered his troops smoothly. He had originally planned to wait until Lu Wu broke through Gru's defenses (which he originally thought was inevitable) and let the main force come back with a counterattack. But now, his main force, several thousand heavily armed hoplites, was lying in a daze with nothing to do in the back.
This makes the game less suspenseful.
"My lord, the preparations for the counterattack are complete. One of his subordinates said. He noticed Grummas's expression. "My lord, don't underestimate Lu Wu, he hasn't invested his real main force yet. ”
That's right, it is clear that what Gru is dealing with now is not the troops that Lu Wu brought from Kasha City. It was the remnants of the army outside the city, and some stupid civilians. But how to say it, it's not Lu Wu's cleverness, but his stupidity. Because Grumas himself knows best. In this battle, what Lu Wu really lacked was not soldiers, but time.
At dawn, five elite legions from the sand will arrive here in the city of Nice. At that time, no matter how Lu Wu fights, he will definitely lose. Lu Wu's only chance of victory was to use a surprise attack to defeat Grummas's forces in a very short period of time, arresting or killing him. It's unlikely, but it's really the only chance of winning.
But look what he's doing now, he's squandering his most precious time!
Thankfully, there's always something fun about the fighting. Grumas watched clearly as Gru rushed forward, his sword dancing with a moon-shaped white light, slicing an exoskeleton armor in half along with the operator.
This guy is unexpectedly good at fighting. With favorable bayonet terrain and appropriate fire assistance, he actually relied on such a weak force, and it can even be said that with the strength of one person, he easily crushed the entire offensive.
At this moment, the cannon fodder troops are estimated to be unable to launch the next wave of offensives. Lu Wu will either choose to kill time boringly, or he will have to send his real elite to play.
And at this point in time...... Grumas calculated, that guy Yuta, should be in Lu Wu's camp now, right? In other words, everything is almost over.
"The next wave," the men next to him analyzed. "The elite of Lu Wu's sixteenth legion is estimated to be on the field. My lord, this is an opportunity to fight back. ”
"Okay, let them prepare. Grumas said. Then, when Lu Wu's elite troops collide head-on with Gru, his men will outflank him from the left and right flanks and counterattack Lu Wu's frontline assembly points. If Lu Wu defeats Gru by then, then he will have to turn back and engage in a tug-of-war because he is threatened with the back road. If he fails to break down Gru's defenses, it will be really good to see. His troops are expected to be all surrounded in this small city.
"By the way, send some reinforcements to Gelug. The subordinate proposed, "Let him be able to withstand it, and a few hundred soldiers should be enough." ”
Grumas nodded indifferently. Now only the bloodiness of the battle process is a little interesting. But then again, he now really hoped that Lu Wu was not in his makeshift camp, but on the front line.
Of course, this is very unlikely. Due to the development of communication technology, which commander is not in the command headquarters to control the whole army remotely?
……
"Tsk, there's not even a ghost!" a tall and thin young man walked through the camp with a disgusted expression.
It was a man who looked to be in his twenties and less than thirty years old, with a more striking hooked nose on his face, fair skin, and an arrogant expression. He had short black hair, wore a uniform common to ordinary civilians, and put his hands in his pockets, and swayed around the camp as if he were walking.
In front of me, it was the largest tent. According to the unwritten rules, this should be the supreme commander of the camp, that is, Lu Wu, where he lives and works. This position should be heavily guarded, even if the manpower is insufficient, at least there will be dozens or hundreds of guards, right? But he came all the way and found nothing.
The guy named Lu Wu obviously went to the front line, that is, the city of Nice.
But even though he had come to this conclusion, he came to the door of the big tent and wanted to go in and have a look. If there is really no one here, then he is to take a prisoner in the camp and ask him to make sure...... Well, actually, this is also redundant. In short, this trip was empty, which made people very unhappy.
I thought that Lu Wu should be hiding here with his guards (the Evening Star family should have arranged guards for him?). He thought with some regret. Then walked into the tent.
Unexpectedly, there was a thin curtain in the middle of the tent. Behind the curtain, the light clearly illuminated a figure, a woman's figure.
And, of course, the remnants of magic that fill the air.
