The hilltop fortress, Su Su stands on the highest fort, overlooking the harbor fortress filled with gunsmoke and the sound of killing.

The Amaterasu army had scattered throughout the fortress, engaged in bloody and tragic street battles with the imperial defenders in the fortress.

The Imperial sailors, who were not good at land warfare and were at a disadvantage in strength, barely withstood the first round of the Amaterasu's offensive by relying on their familiarity with the terrain at the beginning of the battle.

After that, under the hard work of the two generals, Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, and under the command of Su Su in charge of the overall situation, they regained their disadvantages little by little. The defenders of the empire continued to form local advantages in the movement, and they were defeated by the scattered Amaterasu army in the fortress terrain, accumulating small victories into big victories, and until now, they have seen a glimmer of victory.

The three thousand forwards of the Amaterasu army that attacked the fortress had already suffered more than a thousand casualties.

And the more than 2,000 defenders of the empire, the casualties have not yet exceeded four hundred. And the vast majority of casualties were caused when the Amaterasu army first attacked the fortress, and the forces had not been completely divided by the terrain of the fortress, and the offensive was the most violent and fierce.

After the complete dispersal of the Amaterasu, the casualties of the Imperial defenders dropped sharply, while the casualties of the Amaterasu Army increased rapidly. It didn't take long for the casualty ratio of the two sides to be completely reversed.

can bring back the inferior situation, kill the most enemies, and Li Qing, who has the strongest force, is not the first hero. Chu Lingfeng is naturally not either.

Su Su, who took charge of the overall situation at the top of the mountain and commanded Li Qing with his mind, was the real first merit.

If she hadn't given instructions to Li Qing at any time, Li Qing, who was in the middle of the battle and whose vision was far from broad, would have no way of knowing where the situation was critical and needed reinforcements, where the situation was good and where there was no need for help, and where the key locations were, let alone where to send the rescued imperial soldiers.

If there was no Su Su's command, Li Qing would definitely run wherever he went in the fortress with complex terrain, and he would kill the enemy when he encountered it, and he would not have thought about whether he needed help here or not - maybe somewhere there was no need for his help at all, and the defenders could handle it themselves. And if he delays for a while to kill the enemy, the Imperial defenders who are in danger and in urgent need of help somewhere may have been completely wiped out.

In this way, no matter how many enemies Li Qing kills, the overall battle situation is bound to collapse.

And under the command of Su Su, Li Qing can always appear in the position where he is most needed.

Most of the time, he can always be behind enemy troops, launch surprise attacks from behind enemy troops, flank and kill all enemy troops in front and back, save one of his teammates who need help the most, and then send them to help other friendly forces. This constantly creates a snowball effect, constantly annihilating enemy troops and preserving friendly forces, which gradually accumulates your own victory.

The port fortress was able to achieve the current situation, and Su Su contributed a lot.

Without her, the port fortress would have fallen now, and Li Qing would have to face hundreds or thousands of enemy sieges and have to break through.

Unfortunately, seeing that the victory had been established, several more Amaterasu troops drove out of the Amaterasu's camp five kilometers to the north and rushed towards the port fortress.

"The Amaterasu Army has increased its troops again!" Standing behind Su Su, Scarlett, who was nervously following the battle situation, said urgently: "Look at the scale, there are thousands of people again!" ”

"I know it." Su Su glanced at the large teams of Amaterasu, and said quietly: "There are not thousands of people, just three thousand." ”

With her experience in battle formations, even if the enemy army has not been arranged in a neat formation, but only marches in a marching line, she can accurately judge the strength of the enemy army with only a cursory glance.

"Three thousand is a lot!" Scarlett blushed, anxiously looked at the Amaterasu army that swept towards the port fortress like a black tide, and said eagerly: "There are still many enemy troops in the castle, and if you go up to these three thousand enemy troops, the enemy army will immediately occupy an overwhelming advantage." Li Qing is not a perpetual motion machine, he will also be tired! Su Su, send reinforcements! ”

"There is no need to send reinforcements." Su Su's eyes were not shocked, and his tone was unwavering: "It's only three thousand people, it's nothing." Li Qing: They can still handle it. ”

Scarlett said unwillingly: "But ......"

"No, but." Su Su raised his hand and interrupted Scarlett's words: "The Amaterasu Army has 20,000 troops, and if you transfer these 3,000 soldiers, there are 14,000." What should I do if I send reinforcements and the Amaterasu army transfers another 3,000 troops? Continue to send reinforcements? Then the Amaterasu Army will transfer another 3,000 troops, do I still have to send reinforcements? How many troops do we have to send? ”

She turned her head, her eyes swept over the faces of Scarlett, Ni Yuanyuan, and Song Qiqi one by one, and said lightly: "The defenders of the hilltop fortress, including the elite troops of Amaterasu, are only 1,300 people. The enemy army has more than 20,000 troops, and their sailors can also land and fight.

"If I send the first reinforcement down the mountain, I will be able to fulfill the enemy's wishes. The enemy can rely on the superiority of troops to keep moving troops into the battlefield at the bottom of the mountain, forcing us to send reinforcements until our army is exhausted. When the time comes, who will guard the hilltop fortress? ”

She looked at the battlefield at the bottom of the mountain again, and said slowly: "Don't forget, our battle is not to decide the victory, but to delay for three days. In order to achieve this purpose, at least one of the two fortresses must be kept.

"The terrain of the port fortress is conducive to enemy attacks, and it is not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the hilltop fortress. Therefore, sending troops to reinforce the gains outweighed the losses, but they will be dragged into the quagmire of hard work and consumption by the enemy. So when necessary, the harbor fortress can be completely abandoned. ”

Scarlett exclaimed, "Give up? You, you mean, you're not going to send reinforcements? ”

"Of course." Su Su said in a calm tone: "The defenders of the port fortress are destined to be sacrificed. The purpose of their existence is to delay as much time as possible, kill and wound the enemy as much as possible, and frustrate the enemy's spirit. My expectation for them is that they will only survive until dark before they are completely wiped out, and more than 3,000 Amaterasu troops will be killed and wounded. Other than that, I don't expect much from them. ”

"You treat them like outcasts?" Scarlett was even more shocked: "You, how can you do this? That's more than 2,000 lives! ”

"It's not an outcast, it's a necessary sacrifice." Su Su corrected and said softly: "Don't forget, with the absolute difference between the two armies in terms of strength and strength, the defenders of Zhongshan Island were originally the end of the annihilation of the entire army. And what I'm doing now can at least make their sacrifice a little more meaningful. At least, there is hope of holding back the enemy army, waiting for reinforcements, and uniting inside and outside. ”

Hearing Su Su say this, Scarlett was silent for a moment.

She knew that what Su Su said was indeed the truth.

If there was no Susu, the Amaterasu army would not even need to send troops to attack, and only a few strong men would need to launch a few surprise attacks to defeat the defenders of Zhongshan Island. Even the seven tengu who were killed by Su Su were able to use air strikes to completely collapse the defenders of Zhongshan Island in a situation where they could only be beaten and could not fight back.

It was Su Su's attack to wipe out the seven-headed tengu, and the small victory with the enemy's legendary mage, which shocked the strong men of the Amaterasu army, so that the Amaterasu army could not fight quickly, and could only honestly send troops to attack the city. It was also Susu's transcendent forbidden area that wiped out the magic advantage of the Amaterasu Army, allowing the Imperial defenders to fight against the Amaterasu Army under relatively fair conditions.

Moreover, because of Su Su's command, the port fortress was able to fight to this extent, so that the Amaterasu Army had to invest the second batch of troops.

It can be said that without Su Su, the Zhongshan Island base would have been defeated by the Amaterasu Army a long time ago. The imperial defenders of Zhongshan Island have long been wiped out.

Now, Su Su has given the imperial soldiers the opportunity to kill the enemy and serve the country, so that they can die more meaningfully, what's wrong?

"At least...... At least we can withdraw the port defenders to the mountains, right? Scarlett bit her lip and made a last-ditch effort, "At least let them retreat?" ”

"Can't get out." Su Su shook his head and said, "The Amaterasu army has too many troops and too many strong men, and it is impossible for the port defenders to have a chance to retreat." The reason why I am reluctant to send reinforcements is because once I send them, I can't get them back. ”

Scarlett exclaimed, "Can't come back?" So what about Li Qing and Lingfeng? ”

"They can withdraw it." Su Su said: "Li Qing's nightmare demon body is derived from the inner self change, and it will not be restrained by the transcendent forbidden area. Once he unlocks the Nightmare Demon Body and is bent on breaking through, no one will be able to stop him unless the Legend makes a move. And under my control, the enemy legendary mage has no chance to make a move. So rest assured, Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng will be fine. ”

When Su Su said this, the three thousand Tianzhao reinforcements had already poured into the port fortress like a black frenzy.

Scarlett didn't care about talking for a moment, and looked nervously at the harbor fortress, looking for Li Qing's figure in the fighting fields.

Ni Yuanyuan also stared nervously downward, looking for Li Qing.

Although she didn't speak, Fang's concern for Li Qing in her heart was no less than that of Scarlett. It's just that as a former policeman, she won't question Susu's command like Scarlett.

The police are also disciplined forces, and even if the discipline is not as strict as that of the military, they are required to obey orders when carrying out their duties. Since Li Qing authorized Su Su to command the entire army, and Su Su also showed sufficient command ability, then Ni Yuanyuan would not question any of her decisions.

As for Su Su's brain-dead fan Song Qiqi, she will not question Su Su.

In her opinion, any decision made by Queen Susu is a natural truth.

Su Su didn't say anything more, he focused on observing the battle situation in the fortress under the mountain, and issued instructions to Li Qing with his mind, and commanded the battle through Li Qing. Although the defenders in the harbor fortress were already destined to die, Su Su still hoped that they would be able to make a greater contribution before they died.

"Amaterasu's army has increased by 3,000 troops?"

After Li Qing received Su Su's spiritual message, the red light flashed in his scarlet eyes, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Very good, the more enemies, the more pleasure you can kill!" ”

When his heart changed, he didn't stop with his hands. He slashed one Amaterasu soldier to death with a knife, and threw an iron spear with his hand, skewering two Amaterasu soldiers not far away into a sugar gourd.

Before he could pick up another iron gun, a silver-level Amaterasu officer picked up a cannon with both hands and aimed the muzzle of the cannon at Li Qing, and a bronze-level Amaterasu officer behind him slashed at the gun door with a cruel smile.

The knife slashed a dazzling spark on the gun door, lit the primer, and ignited the medicine pack. With a loud bang, a puff of flame smoke erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and an iron bullet the size of a fist struck Li Qing in front of him.

The distance between the two is extremely close, less than ten meters. If this cannon hits Li Qing's face that is not covered by his battle armor, it means that with Li Qing's current defensive strength, his entire face will have to be flattened.

However, even at such a close distance, the muzzle velocity of the breech gun was still a little slow for Li Qing.

At the same time as the cannon rang out, Li Qing had already stretched out his left hand like lightning, and his big hand wearing dark iron gloves grabbed the blazing cannonball in his palm. Then he threw it with a huge force, and the iron bullet flew back two minutes faster than it came, and slammed into the face of the silver-ranked officer, flattening the bridge of his nose and smashing his eyeballs, which were embedded in the face of the angel officer.

After throwing the cannonball, Li Qing rushed forward with lightning and teleported to the silver-level Amaterasu officer who had been stoned to death, and caught the cannon that fell from the Amirasu officer's hand.

He grabbed the barrel of the cannon with one hand, roared with a tiger, and swept it with force, and the tail of the cannon, which was thicker than the muzzle, swept on the waist of the bronze-level Amaterasu officer who ignited the primer, and swept the entire upper body of the Acornasu officer away, and the lower half of his body remained in place, and it took a few seconds before he fell to the ground.

After killing the Amaterasu officer with a cannon barrel, Li Qing put the dragon's tooth treasure knife back into its sheath, held the cannon body with both hands, and used the thousand-pound cannon body as a big stick and heavy hammer, swept and smashed wildly, and swept more than a dozen Amaterasu soldiers to pieces in a blink of an eye.

At the end of the day, he raised the cannon height above his head with both hands, and threw it at several Anamesasu soldiers who were frightened by his bravery and fled, and the heavy cannon body slammed into the backs of the Amaterasu soldiers, crushing them into meat patties.

Erasing the blood and flesh that had splashed on his face when he smashed Amaterasu's pawn, Li Qing stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, picked up two iron spears on his toes, beckoned Chu Lingfeng, and rushed in the direction where Amaterasu's reinforcements were coming.

Amaterasu increased his troops by 3,000, and it was impossible for Li Qing to block the 3,000 army alone, even if he brought Chu Lingfeng, it was impossible to block 3,000 people. All he had to do was to curb the momentum of Amaterasu's new recruits a little and kill their spirit.

Only by first defeating the spirit of Amaterasu's new reinforcements, and making the new 3,000 reinforcements fearful, the long-fought and tired Imperial defenders can last longer.

Li Qing took Chu Lingfeng and ran through an alleyway stained red with blood and covered with corpses. As soon as he rushed out of the alleyway, thousands of Tianzhao soldiers came head-on. These days the soldiers are full of energy and murderous spirit, and it is obvious that they are the reinforcements who have just rushed into the fort.

As soon as he saw the group of Amaterasu soldiers, Li Qing roared wildly and threw an iron spear.

With the scream of the bed crossbow breaking through the air, the iron spear turned into a terrible cold light, and instantly shot in front of the oncoming Amaterasu soldiers.

Burst! Amid the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh, an Amaterasu officer who led the charge was caught off guard and was pierced through the chest by an iron gun.

The iron spear continued to shoot as it pierced through the Amaterasu officer. It pierced through the two Amaterasu soldiers one after another, and then pierced into the chest of the fourth Amaterasu, and then he was exhausted.

A shot pierced through the four Amaterasu officers and soldiers, and such a terrifying lethality did not stop the frenzied momentum of Amaterasu's new recruits. In this earth-shattering battlefield, fanatical emotions infect everyone. The mistake is that the corpses are piling up like a mountain and the blood is flowing like a river, otherwise these new Amaterasu reinforcements who have just entered the battle will never be frightened by the death and injury of the four comrades.

What's more, there are only two people standing in front of them. How can just two people stop an army of thousands?

Li Qing was not surprised by this, he never expected that a single shot would be able to dampen the spirit of Amaterasu's new reinforcements. Immediately yelled at Chu Lingfeng beside him: "Follow me!" Then he raised his iron spear and rushed against the Kuroshio-like Amaterasu.

Rumble! In the deafening sound of impact, Li Qing was like a frenzied tank, slamming into the Amaterasu army.

At the moment of impact, at least three spears and two knives beckoned to him at the same time.

However, the defensive power of the "Cold Iron Fortress" battle armor on his body was amazing, equivalent to a homogeneous steel plate thirty centimeters thick, and even the attacks of ordinary soldiers at the copper and silver level officers would not be able to break his almost high-level spirit weapon armor at all.

After the three spears and two long knives hit him, they were immediately broken by the force of his armor. At the same time, the iron spear in Li Qing's hand also pierced out thirteen shots one after another in the sound of breaking through the air!

Under the high-speed stabbing attack, the tip of the spear turned into a cold star, a horizontal point from left to right, and instantly stabbed down thirteen Amaterasu officers and soldiers.

Whether it is a low-ranking officer or an ordinary non-commissioned officer, every Sergeant Amaterasu was shot in the throat and pierced by the head of the gun with a deep blood hole!

With one blow, he stabbed down thirteen Amaterasu officers and soldiers, and a large area in front of Li Qing and on his left and right sides was suddenly empty. He continued to rush forward without stopping, like a dragon going upstream, deep into the frenzied Amaterasu formation.

Chu Lingfeng held two knives in his hands and followed closely behind him, clearing the enemies behind him without saying a word.

Her sword is as bright as lightning, flashing at a moment, and every time she swings out, it will bring up a flying blood arrow. One Amaterasu soldier after another, clutching his neck under the lightning-like sword light, fell to the ground!

It is different from Li Qing's fierce slaughter. Chu Lingfeng's every knife is very accurate, he can cut the carotid artery in his neck, and he will never touch the armor of the enemy. The twin knives in her hand, although they are also quite good spirit weapon battle knives, are far less sharp than the Dragon Tooth Treasure Knife. If you slash the armor, you can certainly cut it in two, but the energy consumed will be greater.

And on the battlefield where thousands of troops are fighting, every bit of physical strength is very precious, and not a single drop can be wasted. Therefore, Chu Lingfeng relied on her exquisite knife technique to kill the enemy with the most effortless method, but the efficiency of killing the enemy was not inferior to Li Qing at all.

However, although she kills the enemy quickly, she will inevitably be stabbed constantly when she charges against the enemy's battle formation. Although her body is good and her footwork is wonderful, but under the crowd of enemies, no matter how good her body and footwork are, she can't play it. Every minute and every second, a sword slashed at her, an iron spear stabbed her, and even a musket hit her.

Fortunately, the cyan armor on her body is not as strong as Li Qing's "Cold Iron Fortress", but it is also a spiritual weapon carefully selected by Xiaolongnu from the treasure house. The defense is equivalent to a homogeneous steel plate twenty-five centimeters thick, and it can also weaken spell attacks below level 5 by two.

In the transcendent forbidden area, the enemy cannot cast spells, and the function of her armor weakening spell cannot be used. However, pure physical defense also allowed her to ignore the attacks of most of Amaterasu's officers and soldiers. Unless it's an attack that greets her face, she can ignore any other attack.

The reason why Li Qing took her and only came with her to attack the thousand-man army formation of the Tianzhao Army was because of the strength of the battle armor on Chu Lingfeng's body.

The two of them rushed and killed hundreds of enemies in one minute, and finally stopped the frenzy of the thousand people, and fiercely frustrated the spirit of Amaterasu's new reinforcements, killing the Amaterasu soldiers in fear.

After that, without waiting for the enemy army to surround him, Li Qing took Chu Lingfeng to kill through the enemy formation, and went away to find another new reinforcement from Amaterasu.
