Chapter 280: A Good Situation
The warriors outside the city walls moved faster, and the defensive battle had some advantage. However, before they could make a move, the warriors lying on the city wall, armed with rifles, shot at the Zerg who had appeared after being illuminated by the light.
The soldiers who are qualified to come outside the city wall are not weak in their own combat power, and they can be said to be elite soldiers. Some of them were armed with extremely lethal XT pistols, and they were shooting at the more fierce-looking Zerg. The rest of the warriors slashed back the Zerg that had passed through the frost zone.
Although the ground in the Frost Zone is not slippery, it is very hard and not suitable for landing after jumping and flying. Those elite soldiers who are not weak in combat power are waiting for work, and they have less strength than usual, and they can easily solve those zergs that rush in front of them.
Embarrassed and difficult, they reached the other side of the river, first with a burst of rifle fire from the city walls, and then from the elite soldiers outside the city walls. The unfortunate one has already been knocked back by the impact of the bullet and dropped into the cold water. Those who were lucky enough to set foot on the riverbank, and before they could adapt to the chill of the frosty zone, they were cut back by soldiers armed with war knives.
In the water of the moat alone, in just a few minutes, tens of thousands of Zerg were swallowed. It's just that there are quite a few of them, and they haven't completely swallowed their breath yet. There are also many zergs who have the ability to walk on the water, and they were dragged down by those zerg companions underwater.
This side has taken the lead, taking advantage of the moat, the cold weather, the frosty area on the riverbank, and the defense of the elite soldiers, the situation has been temporarily controlled.
But the battle outside the city gate was in the midst of an embarrassing fight. Whether it was Jonny or the Young Prince, the Great Elder or the Great Leader, they didn't dare to let the Zerg push the battle line too close. But because of this, they had to let the warriors, outside the two moats, stop the Zerg.
The Zerg that appeared here have a lot of insect general-level combat power. To them, even if the moat was twice as wide, it was like an ordinary small pit and a shallow hook, but it was a distance that could be easily crossed with a single leap.
It is also because of their existence that the fighting here is more tragic than the battle on the moat outside the city walls. The gunners of the fortress battery no longer dared to fire as unscrupulously as before. The range is now adjusted to the maximum, so make sure that the shells hit the farthest position. Only in this way will it not hurt the elite soldiers who fought bravely outside the city gates.
The sound of artillery fire at the city gates was especially loud at night. No one needs to be notified of that kind of movement, everyone knows that it is a war with the Zerg. The people in the city who can't sleep are also doing what they can. Even those who had some bad intentions before put down their little calculations and did not take the opportunity to do some troublesome things, which made the guards who originally planned to maintain law and order breathe a sigh of relief.
The Great Elder and the Great Leader had already made arrangements, but they were also worried, for fear that the continuous battle would make them fall into a state of extreme exhaustion.
The battle lasted about an hour, and the new forces rushed out of the city gates and joined the battle. Those soldiers and strong warriors who had fought outside before also took the opportunity to return to the city to recuperate, recover their exerted physical strength, and heal their injuries.
At this time, except for some insect generals who were not weak in battle, the figure of the insect king had not yet appeared, and Jonny and the Great Elder talked on the phone every ten minutes. They wouldn't be naïve enough to think that those insect kings were bored and went back to sleep.
Judging from the past records, more than half of the large and small towns on this continent were only taken away under the rout after they were blatantly attacked and killed by the Zerg at night. The rest are unlucky, some are infighting among the Terrans themselves, and some are easily entered the city by a few powerful insect generals with the Zerg during the day, killing all the resistance of the Terrans.
The insect king has not yet appeared, but the insect general-level combat power outside each city gate is in the hundreds and nearly thousands. It's just that in terms of combat power, it's not as good as the top-level insect general like Mantis.
Outside each city gate, there were more than 10,000 soldiers, led by those elite soldiers, relying on tacit cooperation and the sharpness of the weapons in their hands, killing those zergs who were more or less injured after rushing through the cover of artillery fire.
The casualties of the soldiers were not small, but compared to the Zerg, these casualties were nothing. Inside the city, there are also soldiers who are preparing for battle, waiting to enter the battlefield at any time. Those soldiers who had returned from the battlefield outside the city were also seizing the time to rest, and those with injuries were also being treated.
This is only the battlefield in the warm-up stage, but it is also the scene of the most intense war. Now outside the city, the number of Zerg gathered together has exceeded one million. At today's convergence speed, I am afraid that outside the dawn, the Zerg outside the city can easily reach more than two million.
However, such a huge number, in front of the insect king-level combat power, it is just a larger number of ants. Even relying on the superiority of weapons and defense, the casualties of the Zerg were several times that of the soldiers, and the faces of the Great Elder and the Great Leader did not have much joy.
Just in case, today's insect-level combat power, the commanders and captains of the elite soldiers, can barely cope, and Thatch and Loggins, who had previously ridden a floating skateboard and quietly left the city, were called back to the city to rest.
"Tell the others that you're ready to retreat to the city!"
Jonny put down the phone worm that was connected to the Great Elder, and said to Gertrom and Gulia on the side. After watching them answer, he ran down the stairs of the city gate and took a long breath, knowing that it was almost time for the big war to come.
From seven o'clock in the evening when Thatch and Loggins planned their operation to now, more than two hours have passed. The casualties of the soldiers outside each city gate exceeded two thousand. Those who were injured were nearly 10,000 people. However, the number of casualties of the Zerg was close to 100,000. This result can be regarded as a great victory for the Terrans in the city.
However, even if you add the Zerg who have been solved from the city wall moat, it is only six or seven hundred thousand, and it is only about half of the current army of the Zerg. The casualties of soldiers outside several city gates and city walls have directly exceeded 10,000, and the number of soldiers temporarily lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries is almost nearly 100,000. There are also a considerable number of soldiers who are also injured now, although they can go to the battlefield again, but after all, their combat strength is not as good as before.
"The real victory is still to solve those insect king-level combat power!"
The Great Elder's face was full of bitterness, and he muttered to himself. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
