Hand-to-hand combat between exoskeleton armor has little beauty to speak of. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This was the first time Lu Wu had seen a real battlefield...... That is, in this world, human-to-human, normal battles.

It's not a magical contest that outsiders can't understand (at best, it's just cool and cool) like Warlocks, nor is it a completely different conflict like Kechagoat, where the tech tree is completely different from the war system and military equipment, but ordinary combat.

Well, I guess it's an ordinary battle. Because Lu Wu already knew that although the warlocks were said to be the ruling class, they were actually very low in the proportion of the total population. This means that the vast majority of battles are actually fought by ordinary people.

But this kind of battle, how to put it, was very different from what he expected.

The soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor will not form a battle formation like the soldiers in the ancient era of cold weapons, relying on soldiers to cooperate with each other and cover each other to fight the enemy. Strictly speaking, there is no concept of a queue - it may be at the beginning, but it will get involved in the melee as soon as the battle begins.

If you want to describe it, this kind of fight is not like a fight, but like a street fight. To put it bluntly, it is a group of soldiers with all kinds of sticks, picking up the sticks in their hands and beating their opponents hard.

But there is nothing to be done. Because in fact, these hoplites wearing exoskeleton armor are some out-and-out iron cans. A bullet fired from a general-purpose rifle can easily tear flesh apart, but it is no more of a threat to hoplites than a mosquito is to an adult. In the absence of specialized weapons such as electromagnetic guns and high-heat blades, which are specialized in exoskeleton armor, beating the opponent with a blunt weapon becomes the only option. Sharp weapons are rarely used, as neither spears nor blades can be used against composite armor. Not only do they not cut through the steel armor made of these high-tech materials, on the contrary, they are more likely to get stuck, and instead give the enemy a chance to attack.

If you take the analogy of a tank on Earth, it is almost the same as if the tank ran out of shells. How can a tank fight without shells? Of course, even if it hits it, it can only crash through.

Even heavy armor could not withstand repeated heavy blunt blows. In addition, even if the external armor can withstand the blow, the impact force is strong enough to still hurt the driver inside. The human body is much more fragile than steel machinery.

The most common way is to hit the head with a stick. Because the human head is the most vulnerable part, and the impact of a blunt blow will leave the driver in a state of dizziness and unresponsiveness, even if it does not cause harm to the human body, and the driver will lose the ability to fight back. Of course, the head is also an important place for exoskeleton armor protection, so basically it is impossible to kill it with a stick.

Therefore, the scene that can often be seen on the whole battlefield is a nourish-free stick fight, which is reminiscent of the conflict caused by humans fighting for prey in the primitive Stone Age.

Of course, you don't necessarily need a stick, you can hit with punches and kicks, but it's easy to understand - if you do, on the one hand, you will suffer in terms of distance, which is so-called an inch long and an inch strong, and on the other hand, even if you knock down an opponent, your arm will be seriously damaged. After all, the collision of steel and steel, one's own losses are also unavoidable.

Well, it's a bit unbelievable to say, but it's really such a stupid-looking battle in front of Lu Wu.

That's right, Lu Wu is on the front line now. Of course, now Lu Wu not only wears a magic ring on his hand, but also carries it in an exoskeleton armor. The magic ring he had obtained from the ash had run out of mana (not to mention the rechargeable one), but two new ones had been added to him by the two Rangers' visits one after the other. Well, at least in this battle, he doesn't need to worry about running out of mana.

"Partner," the master spoke in the headphones. "You don't seem to think so...... Doesn't that feel stupid?"

"It's stupid. Lu Wu admitted.

"However, this is the only tactic that works. The master said. "Because the attack power is too weak relative to the defense power. The commander on the other side made a small mistake. ā€

"Ugh. Lu Wu felt that the commander on the other side was very powerful. Because he held the position with a small number of troops (according to previous intelligence, probably only about a hundred people, plus one or two electromagnetic turrets). Although it was not the group with the highest organizational discipline that rushed forward here, it was also a force of thousands of people. And armed with a sufficient amount of exoskeleton armor.

"Flexibly mobilize a small number of troops to meet the superior enemy and outnumber the enemy," the master said. "It's an ability. It is also an ability to correctly use superior or equal forces to suppress the enemy and outnumber the outnumbered. The capabilities are similar, but not identical. He shouldn't have been in such a hurry to attack. He commented in a tone that was devoid of additional emotion. "The correct approach should be to leave this newly replenished combat force in the rear, first use the defense line that has proved to be effective to deplete and hold back our army, and then let them counterattack. ā€

This is the situation that Lu Wu is facing now. As he pounced on the enemy's lines, the enemy seemed to have received reinforcements, so he unexpectedly launched a counterattack. So it is now such a battle that is almost indistinguishable from a street hooligan brawl (and a low-grade brawl).

Moreover, as mentioned earlier, the battle was confined to a long and narrow space due to the threat of automatic fire points outside. Although the two sides fought to the death, they also knew to avoid the line of life and death. At least on the surface, the offensive on Lu Wu's side was completely contained.

"So I think," the master continued. "The one called Gru, that is, the so-called is probably a frustrated person who started because of his military exploits, but now he can't make an inch. ā€

"Why do you say that?" Lu Wu asked casually. He didn't understand what the master had seen.

"Because he seems to be a man who is good at being outnumbered. The master said. "In the armies of any intelligent race, such a person will always come out on top. Because for soldiers and junior officers, outnumbering is all too common. Moreover, the achievement of being outnumbered is also the most eye-catching of all the feats. So he was promoted to a pretty high position at such a young age. However, after reaching a certain height, there are not many such cases of "outnumbering". And he didn't have the ability to make proper use of his superior forces, so naturally he couldn't achieve excellent feats, and then his promotion naturally ended there......"

"That can't be called 'frustration', right?" Lu Wu was a little puzzled. "Isn't it normal that you can't be promoted without military merits?"

"Ha, partner, you're completely underestimating humanity when you talk like that. Of course, this is true not only of human beings, but of all intelligent beings. The master said. "In fact, this is a mechanism of psychological protection: I can't succeed, not because I can't, but because I don't have a chance, and others suppress me. Well, as long as the intelligent creature thinks like this, the mind will be cleared, and the mind will relax...... Ha ha. Therefore, that Gru will not admit that he is not capable, but will think that he is not successful because of a lack of backing and no external support. Uh, partner, okay. ā€

"Okay?" Lu Wu asked.

"Yes, you can. Although it is claimed to be a firepower point that will never be controlled, but when you meet a genius like me, you are completely scum. The master laughed. "It's just a waste of time to decipher passwords. ā€

That's right, they're standing here right now not chatting, but waiting for their moment. Or rather, wait for the master to break down the so-called semi-automatic defensive line that surrounds the city of Nice.

Although it seems that it was because Gru sent his troops out to fight a counterattack that made him stop here. But even if Gru didn't move behind the defensive line, Lu Wu would stop here.

Although Lu Wu thinks he is an explorer, an explorer and a soldier are two different things. Although both sides seem to face various dangers, the former is always trying to survive, while the latter sometimes needs to be sent to death on their own initiative.

When the battle broke out, Grumas activated the point of fire. These points of fire were originally intended to be used against enemies rushing from outside, but they could also be used against enemies rushing into the city. However, to deal with the latter, it is necessary to set up an all-round attack mode, regardless of the attack of the enemy and me, all the things that can move (this is what the master told Lu Wu after analysis). That's why even though it's a city with great connections (even buildings allow exoskeleton armor to tear down walls), it's now a "three-way battle" operation.

After the firing points of the entire defense line are activated, they are theoretically not controlled by the outside world. However, the master is not a "theoretical" limitable existence. If according to the theory, it does not exist at all, it is impossible to chat with Lu Wu through Bluetooth headsets like now.

The battle ahead continued, but, to be honest, it didn't feel like a life-and-death battle at all, but it was fierce. However, the intensity was fierce, and the casualties were not large. Regardless of the wounded for the time being, there are not many people who died in battle, and most of them are due to the concussion caused by the blunt blow, which destroys some key positions such as the joints and axes of the exoskeleton, making it lose some or all of its mobility. Of course, if you keep attacking, you will definitely be able to kill the incapacitated enemy, but the problem is that there is not that much time - there are still many enemies to deal with. The vast majority of the victors were content with the incapacitating outcome of the enemy in front of them. Let's talk about the rest of the things when we clean up the battlefield.

By this time, the battle was coming to an end. As mentioned earlier, both the whole and the details of this battle are lackluster. In terms of details, it is simply two soldiers in exoskeleton armor holding sturdy metal sticks against each other. Whenever one side knocks the other down, he usually sparks and lightning all the way all over his body, and even green and white smoke is emitted everywhere, and each joint and bearing emits a tooth-aching metal friction sound. Of course, the performance of the exoskeleton armor dropped significantly, and then it was knocked out by the soldiers who were replenished behind the opponent. It's not bloody, it's not brutal, it's even a little boring. No one can form a breakthrough.

And because the two sides are entangled, weapons such as electromagnetic cannons cannot be fired, so as not to be injured by mistake. It should be known that neither of the warring sides is equipped with electromagnetic guns, but they do have electromagnetic turrets (Lu Wu's side is even vehicle-mounted).

So the fighting went back and forth, regardless of the fierceness of the fighting, but in terms of the overall pattern of the battle, the losses of the two warring sides were almost equal. When the soldiers on both sides realized that it was not a big deal to fight like this, both sides began to retreat.

No one was expecting reinforcements. The scene of those orange blossoms and red flowers blooming in the distance just now makes people understand that the entire battlefield has been fully fired. In the middle of the lane, it may be the calmest place on the entire battlefield. Because the warring sides have the smallest number of troops.

Lu Wu turned his head and looked at the group of people behind him. Or rather, the last group of soldiers. Through the exoskeleton helmet, he couldn't see the identity of the other party clearly, but this did not prevent him from scanning everyone.

They are reserves...... This is because the battle line is narrow, so the force is divided into two parts - this does not require much intelligence and vision, and even ordinary people can easily make judgments. Of course, even if Lu Wu can't see it, the master will remind him.
