Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Battle Begins
The heavy iron fence slowly rose, and the candidates were greeted by enthusiastic cheers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 More than 100,000 onlookers made the examinees of the 244th group excited, as if they were the protagonists today, as if the world was cheering for them today.
"Remember this moment, maybe you only have one experience in a lifetime." Chen Wusheng turned around and said, "If you don't want this picture to become an eternal memory, take up arms and fight." The winner has everything, and the loser loses everything. ”
A few words could not immediately change everyone's attitude, but it more or less aroused everyone's fighting spirit, and there was a war intent in their eyes, and how long this war spirit could last, Chen Wusheng did not know. Morale needs to be proved by victory, and it needs to be fought for with strength.
When the first batch of candidates entered the arena, the shaman stood in front of the podium, first signaling the audience to be quiet, but then speaking.
"Now it's Team 244, and they're going to face off against the puppet chariot team for the first time. It is known that where there is infantry, there are chariots, which were once synonymous with power. The chariots never fell, and now their glory rises again, becoming a nightmare for the infantry. How to defeat the chariot on the battlefield is a serious problem that every infantryman has to face. Let's wait and see how Team 244 performs. “
When the shaman said that the opponent was a chariot, the expressions of his teammates instantly fell. It is not for nothing that the chariot is called the nightmare of the infantry, unlike the ancient chariots that required a charge to pull, today's chariots no longer use a charge but have their own drive. Not only is it worse than the accumulation, but it is even better than the former in terms of output and power.
In terms of weapons, due to the better driving device, the chariot was equipped with more powerful magic weapons, and various True Qi weapons developed by the Mo family were placed on the chariot. This allows ordinary soldiers to exert considerable power while consuming a small amount of True Qi.
In the eyes of the monks, a single chariot was no threat. If they were faced with chariots several times their size at the same time, the monks of the Xuanji Realm would also have to retreat. Moreover, there is not only one type of chariot, with the cooperation between the imperial court and many factions of the Mo family, today's chariots are not only larger, the armor is thicker and stronger, and the weapons are more lethal and terrifying.
Fortunately, this was an exam, and it was impossible for the examiners to arrange a battle with no chance of winning, so Chen Wusheng concluded that the chariot that appeared was definitely the lightest chariot raider or pursuer. This vehicle is fast, maneuverable, and has good firepower, and is piloted by one person and two people. The disadvantage is that in the pursuit of speed, its armor is thin and the armor covers a small area, which is equivalent to the ancient light cavalry.
"Has anyone served in the military?" Chen Wusheng asked casually.
"Yes, I served in the military for three months."
Chen Wusheng was a little surprised, and when he turned his head, he was a rather old young man, a few years older than Chen Wusheng.
"You can do me a favor, no matter what kind of chariot emerges from behind the iron gate, we have a better chance of winning if we work together, understand?"
The companions were a little hesitant, and the complete strangers of the teammate stood up and said that he could lead everyone to victory, which was somewhat unconvincing.
"For the sake of victory, let go of the mustard in our hearts, fate allows us to get together today and fight hand in hand to the end."
At this time, the shaman's speech interrupted Chen Wusheng's speech.
"I'm honored to introduce you to the squad under the Legion of the County City!"
As soon as the words fell, the doors at both ends of the gladiatorial arena opened at the same time, and a deafening sound followed. Five two-man chariots ran out of the eastern gate, and three one-man chariots came out of the western gate. Both vehicles had no wheels, were suspended in mid-air, and drove quickly across the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The drivers are puppets, and although their movements are rigid, they can ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition, and play to the level that the examiners hope to achieve.
"Close!" Chen Wusheng shouted for the first time.
There were very few people who responded to him, everyone was not a regular army, and Chen Wusheng was not their general. Some of them panicked, and they didn't know what to do in the face of the chariots speeding around. Some roared in anger and tried to drive away fear with their roars. The rest of the people unconsciously come together in search of security.
The battlefield is ever-changing, and enemies won't wait for you to get ready before attacking. The puppet soldiers follow the setting and take the lead in attacking the weakest link of Team 244.
A few stunned candidates on the periphery bore the brunt of the attack, and the puppet soldiers controlled the True Qi weapons on the chariot and launched a long-range attack. The inexperienced and unsuspecting candidate was directly hit, and the whole person flew up, fell heavily to the ground, and lost consciousness. There are also candidates who are at a loss for what to do, holding a spear and wanting to stab the target, but unfortunately they can't do it, in the face of the oncoming chariot, the mental quality is not too strong, and they can't maintain their inner peace at all, how can the spear thrown out hit the target? As a result, these candidates either reacted faster and rolled on the spot to dodge, or they were unable to dodge or were hit by the vehicle in a daze.
The successive attacks made the remaining candidates finally recognize the facts, and when they came to their senses, they immediately obeyed Chen Wusheng's command and moved closer together.
"Hold the shield outward, connect and enclose!"
Everyone turned their shields towards the periphery, bent over, and silently formed a circle, and in the process, the war puppet once again launched a distant attack.
"Bang!"
The attack was blocked by a shield, which not only blocked the attack, but also blocked the spread of panic in the candidate's heart.
Nowadays, the role of infantry seems to be getting smaller and smaller, but in fact it has an important role that cannot be ignored. And their armament has also been greatly improved. For example, the tower shield held by the candidates now is not only large in area, but also large in thickness, which seems to be cumbersome, but it can withstand the long-range attack of medium tanks. Of course, he sacrificed part of his mobility in exchange for safety. It is not unreasonable to think about Chen Wusheng's arrangement, a group of candidates who have not received good military training, and they are not brothers from the same school, it is impossible to form a tacit cooperation.
In this case, Chen Wusheng decided that it was more important to adopt a conservative style of play, and first stabilize his position before he could cope with the next battle.
"Steady!" Chen Wusheng ordered. He knew that the next wave of attacks would come head-on, which was the traditional way of playing, using the inherent advantages of the chariot to overwhelm the enemy, and the puppets who didn't have much intelligence would definitely follow this style of play.
Sure enough, the puppet on the chariot saw that the long-range magic weapon could not break the tower shield, so he picked up his weapon and prepared to attack in close quarters.
"Steady! Hammer hands ready! ”
The two hammermen who heard the command silently clenched the war hammer, and the speed of the assault chariot was extremely fast, even the speed of the Chaser chariot was still not comparable to the foot strength, so the opportunity left for the candidates present was very short.
Facing the galloping chariot, a candidate holding a war hammer chattered his teeth up and down, although extremely subtle, but Chen Wusheng noticed it.
[Sure enough, he is just a child, and a soldier who has never seen blood is always a rookie. 】
I couldn't help but say that the moment the chariot approached, Chen Wusheng grabbed the war hammer and directly picked it up and smashed it into the chariot. The surrounding spectators watched as one of the candidates suddenly snatched the hammer from his companion next to him, picked up the hammer in one fell swoop, and smashed a light chariot over. The entire gladiatorial arena instantly entered a climax, and the audience cheered and applauded without hesitation.
