Chapter 458: Planned bankruptcy
Just when Qi Lin felt that the troops who rushed down the city wall were about to be wiped out, suddenly, nearly a third of the parasites in the Black Tide suddenly turned around and rushed towards the flanks and rear.
"What's going on?!"
Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and quickly moved the scope to the position behind the Kuroshio side, only to see that on a high slope a kilometer away, a force of thousands of people was using mortars and bazookas to continuously attack the flank of the Kuroshio.
And this third of the parasites are really attracted to them.
"That one is...... Mercenary...... Is it a mercenary unit hired by the Alliance? Qi Lin turned the scope to the maximum, and although the players on the high slope did not wear uniform clothing, they erected a flag with the insignia of the Alliance nearby—a means of identifying themselves, and also to prevent the artillerymen from mistaking them for the enemy and causing accidental injuries.
The equipment of these thousands of players is not very good, and it can even be described as rudimentary, not to mention the fully automatic weapons of the last century such as AKM and FAL, and many of these people even have poorly made bolt-action rifles and home-made shotguns from small workshops.
At a distance of a thousand meters, this kind of weapon is of no use except to hear a sound - even the expectation that a stray bullet will be lucky enough to wipe off a little of the skin of a parasite cannot be done, because the bullets fired by this weapon have a very serious drop in trajectory, and they will not fly more than a kilometer before they will burrow into the earth.
Unless, the shooter uses the mortar projectile method to shoot, and it is possible to rub against the enemy from a distance of a kilometer.
Ravlenj did not fully agree to Lu Wei's request, in this army of 2,000 people, he stuffed half of the slaves, of course, these slaves were no longer slaves when they were incorporated into this suicide force, but a full-fledged mercenary of the "Black Forest Woodcutter" mercenary group.
A chance to resurrect in exchange for ransom money was a good deal for the slaves - and the risk of parasitism was ignored by most of them, and everyone had a kind of luck mentality: anyway, they just had to shoot themselves before the little bugs got into their brains.
Lu Wei can't care about such a small trick like Loverendji, anyway, as long as the purpose of attracting and containing the Black Tide can be achieved, if the task cannot be completed due to the quality of the personnel, Lovelenji will naturally be in trouble.
……
"This force is a decoy, right?" Qi Lin immediately saw Lu Wei's tactical intentions, he used to be a mercenary, he had received similar tasks several times, and not long ago, he and another group of mercenaries were treated as outcasts by the alliance in the Gray Ridge Mountain Range.
But fortunately, every time such a situation occurs, Qi Lin can always find a way to escape from the desperate situation.
"It's bait, they're buying time to clean up the troops." Cheng Yanqiu held a tactical telescope in one hand and a pencil in the other, and kept scribbling on a tactical map.
"If I were the person in charge of this operation, I would have organized two such decoy troops." Cheng Yanqiu pointed to the tactical map spread on his lap.
"This is the wall of Herrens, flanked by plateaus and mountains, only the section in front of the wall is a relatively flat plain, the second wave of the Kuroshio is now in this location, the center of the Kuroshio is three kilometers away from us, you can see it at a glance, and the last third wave, which is also the largest, is still in this position."
Cheng Yanqiu pointed out another area on the map with a pencil, which was still dozens of kilometers away from the Herrens defense line according to the scale of the map.
"Using vehicles, the alliance can quickly bypass these mountains and drop the decoy force to the designated position, this decoy force in our field of vision is here, they can directly attack the flank of the Kuroshio, after attracting a part of the Kuroshio, they can retreat in this direction, in the direction of their retreat, there is a rugged hill, which will greatly delay the time for the Kuroshio to catch up with them."
Qi Lin glanced at the arrows drawn by Cheng Yanqiu on the tactical map a few times, the thinner one was the retreat direction of the decoy troops, which happened to be at a right angle to the direction of the Kuroshio's attack on the Herrens defensive line, and the thicker arrow was the direction pursued by the part of the parasites that were separated from the Kuroshio.
Although the soldiers of the decoy force could only move on their own two legs, they were still much faster than the tireless parasites, and they could lure at least a third of the parasites of the second wave of the Kuroshio into the depths of the hills before their physical strength was exhausted.
"And the second decoy force, I'll be in this position." Cheng Yanqiu drew a circle with a pencil on the edge of the path of the third wave of the Kuroshio, "When the third wave of the Kuroshio advanced here, this ambush unit suddenly opened fire, and after attracting the attention of enough parasites, it pulled in the opposite direction of the Hellens line. ”
The plan described by Cheng Yanqiu is almost exactly the same as Lu Wei's arrangement, and even the details of the location of the troops, the timing of the attack, and the direction involved are almost the same.
"Still." Qi Lin took off his windshield goggles, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said, "This plan has a fatal problem. ”
"You mean—"
"'King-level', there has been more than one king-level parasite in this second wave of the Kuroshio, there must be more in the third wave of the Kuroshio, under the control and restraint of the 'king-level' parasite, how many parasites will be attracted by these two decoy troops? And, even if they are really attracted to it, how far will they chase it? …… Well, the second question has already been answered. ”
After attracting a third of the parasites, the decoy force began to put away the mortars on the ground and began to retreat, at this time, the parasites who had been chasing them suddenly turned around and merged into the Kuroshio's large force.
This wave of attraction of the decoy troops only bought about two minutes for the clearing troops who were working desperately under the city walls.
"The king-level parasite reacts quickly, and the binding force on the Kuroshio is also very strong, and this decoy tactic is probably going bankrupt." Cheng Yanqiu frowned slightly, and involuntarily clenched the pencil in his hand.
"Do you think we'll be able to hold the walls?" Qi Lin smiled bitterly.
Cheng Yanqiu shook his head: "It's very difficult." ”
Powerful and stupid enemies are not scary, but when this group of stupid enemies suddenly has a wise brain, everything is different......
