Chapter 1245: Outposts in the Occupied Zone
[First send and then change, after changing this line]
Outpost No. 46, named Outpost, is actually a fortress, a fortress, and the forty-sixth outpost that expanded to the traditional Chaos Fall Area after the New Dynasty took over the Great Wall garrison.
According to statistics, after the establishment of the quarantine zone, the frequency of chaotic erosion events in the southwest of the loess region has been reduced by more than half.
Wu Weiqi, as the commander of the No. 46 outpost, is naturally experienced in a hundred battles, and he has been fighting from an ordinary soldier in the Great Wall garrison for several years before he came out, and Nangong Yujun was his soldier before.
Outpost 46 was still established for a short time, less than three months, and it was put into use before even the protective circle was fully built, but this is normal, and no outpost in the occupied area was established peacefully.
Fighting in the morning, seizing the time to carry out construction at noon when the old enemy is dispersed and the new enemy is not coming, and continuing to fight in the afternoon is the normal process of establishing a post, and the combat engineering units of New China have been tempered in all directions here.
When an outpost is built, it will take itself as the center, radiate from all sides, clean up the chaos within a radius of five kilometers externally, and maintain the security of the passage between the other outposts internally, while Outpost 46 cannot do these two things due to its size and address.
Wu Weiqi originally had only 300 troops on hand, which was already the largest number of players that could be squeezed out of the defense system, after all, the Great Wall garrison was still the most difficult force for players to join.
Not only does it represent honor and opportunity, but it also has a large number of special classes to choose from, as well as an almost endless amount of experience points, which makes it quite attractive to players.
But the new dynasty has been stuck in this opening, and only players who have passed the postgraduate examination are allowed to join the war outside the city walls.
In fact, this almost cut off the path for ordinary players to join the Great Wall Garrison, so that 90% of the players in the garrison are active soldiers, and only a very small number of idle players who are performing well have successfully joined, although they are quickly drafted into the army in reality.
Just yesterday, Wu Weiqi suddenly received support from a player force of nearly 1,000 people, and they were accompanied by orders from higher levels to cooperate with the intelligence department to pick up a player named Xu Yichen.
However, their attempt to rush forward was soon interrupted by the Chaos Demons that were gradually gathering outside the Outpost, and Outpost 46 was now in a state of semi-surroundment by the Chaos Demons.
The walls of Outpost 46 were strong and heavy, every piece of masonry had been corrupted, the ground had been specially leveled and hardened, and additional stone slabs up to a meter thick had been laid on them, with purification runes carved on both sides to prevent the roots of corrupted plants or other living creatures from coming out of the ground.
More important is the logistical supply, the outpost is stocked with enough food and fresh water for everyone to eat and drink for three months, checked every three days, and incinerated if there is a tendency to spoil.
There are also enough confinement chambers built inside the outpost to isolate players if they are found to be in extreme tendencies.
Wu Weiqi used to be the leader of the clearance team at Outpost 33, and every time he patrolled to clear out the Chaos Demons, he would send scouts in advance to reconnoiter the nearby environment, trying to keep the risk within a tolerable range, for which he often lagged behind other teams, but his team was always the one with the lowest casualty rate.
Because of his prudence, Wu Weiqi became the new head of the outpost.
"How many enemies are there outside the outpost?" Wu Weiqi used the most traditional monocular, standing at the highest point of the outpost to observe the vicinity, the gray-black fog shrouded the vicinity of the outpost, and he could see those distorted figures in the fog suddenly appear and disappear.
"The exact number cannot be estimated, the number of humanoid creatures should be more than eight hundred, and the number of beast forms and insect forms is much higher, at least more than two thousand." The sergeant in charge of counting the number of enemies calmly replied that outposts in the Fallen Zone were rarely equipped with spellcasters, and they were more susceptible to the effects of Chaos, far less stable than other transcendents.
"Send a signal to Outpost 45 so they are ready to support us at any time." Wu Weiqi gave an order: "Let the artillery first hit a base number of shells to have a good time, listen to the big guy, it doesn't matter how many enemies are killed!" ”
"Yes!" The sergeant waved the different colored flags downwards a few times, and the player below immediately understood.
In a few moments, the forty guns prepared in the outpost were pushed onto the battery, and the artillerymen skillfully loaded their shells and opened fire on all the targets and shadows they found valuable.
The roar of a monster could be heard in the mist, but the sound was immediately drowned out by the sound of more intense artillery fire, and these transcendent gunners were not only quick to reload, but also had sharp ears, and they could design their eyes to make as many kills as possible based on the screams.
Soon, one base of ammunition was depleted, and the entire area around Outpost 46 was filled with a completely different fog from before, which was the smoke after the gunpowder was burned, which was the smell of gunpowder that represented civilization.
Without Wu Weiqi's command, a cavalry team of 100 men was already ready to attack in the aisle in the middle of the double city wall, and when the cannon sounded, these knights rushed out like sharp arrows.
They were going to check the effects of the shelling and to understand the enemy whose vitality was not called tenacious.
Soon there was a crisp stream of muskets outside the outpost, short-handled muskets specially equipped for cavalry.
So far, the Loess Region has not been able to come up with an airship that can fly stably over the Chaos Fall Zone, of course, the upper level also means not to continue to improve the technological content of the weapon, and the green skin in the north is too fast to learn.
Even so, some individuals of the Chaos Cultists have begun to be equipped with musket-like weapons, which may appear to be spouts made of flesh and bone, or human-made muskets that have been twisted into new weapons surrounded by strange tentacles, but they are as deadly as their cousins.
The cavalry soon suffered casualties, and the first victim was hit by a musket in the shadows on the way to the charge, the fleshy bullet failed to penetrate the knight's breastplate, but the thing wriggled rapidly on the cuirass, burrowing into the gap in the armor before being thrown down, and began to devour the knight's flesh inside.
The knight didn't have time to shed his armor before he fell under his horse.
The horses that were blindfolded and had their ears plugged were completely oblivious to their surroundings and trampled on them directly.
An encounter in the occupied zone broke out.
