Chapter 276: A Hard Battle
In fact, the soldiers who were killed during the landing process were definitely not the only one, in this vast night, I don't know how many soldiers were also killed by the anti-aircraft fire of the Demon God Army, and in the end, half of them could land alive. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, Richard's luck was good, and during the landing, various magic arrows kept flying past him, but none of them could really hit him. After opening the parachute in a panic in the air, Richard landed smoothly on the ground after a while.
The feeling of being grounded again finally calmed Richard's nervous mood a little, but the feeling of weakness formed after the violent vomiting just now also said that his combat effectiveness was reduced a lot.
Looking around, Richard didn't see any of his comrades land in his area, and then he looked around him again, trying to find the few references mentioned in the mission objective, but to no avail.
"How? The landing location is obviously very different from the real destination! I can't even find a single logo reference! Richard complained about the unreliability of the captains as he unfastened his parachute and prepared to walk to the real target.
Because of the thick clouds in the sky on this night, the moonlight and starlight were all obscured, making the whole world appear pitch black, almost to the point that you could not see your fingers. As a result, Richard spent a lot of time just discerning the direction.
In the night, Richard didn't know if he could get to the target in time, hoping that when he arrived, the battle was over!
He didn't pay much attention to the ground, and as he walked, he suddenly stepped on the air and fell into a small river with a pop. It turned out that he had just accidentally stepped on a pile of roadside weeds, which had grown from this small river, and because they had grown too densely, they blocked all the water below, and the sky was dark, causing Richard, a veteran, to accidentally fall for it.
Suddenly falling into the cold water, Richard's first reaction was to hurriedly struggle to climb out of the water, but before he could make a move, there was a sudden sound of talking not far away.
"There seems to be a sound in that river! Could it be that there are enemy paratroopers parachuted inside! ”
"Don't be afraid, it's just the sound of a big fish in the water, and if a paratrooper wants to land on us, we'll be able to see the parachute when it's very high!"
"It's better to go and see! After all, that's what we're doing! There's nothing wrong with being careful! ”
As soon as Richard heard this voice, he knew that he had encountered an enemy patrol, so he immediately did not dare to move, and allowed his body to slowly sink to the bottom of the river to prevent the movement from attracting the attention of the enemy soldiers. But just then, an undercurrent hit Richard, pushing Richard's body downstream. Despite this, Richard still did not dare to move, thinking that from the sound of footsteps, he could hear that the nearby patrol definitely numbered more than a hundred people, and it was definitely not something he could deal with alone.
In this way, Richard was pushed by the current, and soon floated for an unknown number of miles, until the conversations of the enemy patrols could no longer be heard, and Richard carefully moved his hands and feet and surfaced.
After dodging the enemy patrol, Richard originally thought that his most difficult moment had passed and he could move on, but at the moment of climbing out of the river, he was almost stunned by the scene he saw, because not far from him, only a few dozen meters away from him, there was actually an enemy air defense position, a giant crossbow and intellectual-type demonized soldiers. It was constantly firing at the parachutes that were still falling in the air. Surrounded by at least two hundred power-type demonic warriors wearing heavy armor, they were guarded.
Faced with this scene, Richard stayed for a few seconds before thinking of quickly hiding, and after finding a bush nearby to lie in, Richard was fortunate to find that the enemy troops were all focused on the parachutes that were constantly falling from the sky, so they did not find him who had just climbed out of the creek. Maybe it also has something to do with the patrol, after all, a patrol has just passed in this direction, and none of the demonic warriors on top of the air defense position think that the enemy will be able to sneak here smoothly under the noses of so many friendly troops.
Fortunately, Richard began to move his body slowly, preparing to spare the enemy's air defense position before continuing to advance. But he had only withdrawn more than ten meters away, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
Richard looked back when he heard the sound, and found that it was the patrol team that had returned, which made him secretly cry bad in his heart, so that he was caught between these two groups of enemies, and there was no way to escape, and it was not a good way to escape into the river at this time, because the patrol was too close to him at this time, and when he entered the river, he must have made some movements, and then he must have aroused the vigilance of those enemy troops, and then pulled him out of the river and killed him.
However, as a veteran of a hundred battles, Richard did not mean to stand still even if he was facing the desperate situation in front of him, but was ready to fight to the end, and if he could destroy an enemy, he would eliminate one and relieve a little pressure on those comrades who were parachuting.
In order to maximize his chances of shooting, Richard did not use the magic rifle with great movement and extremely obvious trajectory, but took out a strong bow, in terms of power, the bow and arrow may not be as high as the magic rifle, but in terms of concealment, it is higher, and the movement when shooting is almost nothing compared to the firearm, which is the most suitable for Richard at this time.
As I said earlier, Richard is a powerful soldier king, so he is extremely skilled in using all kinds of weapons, at this time, I saw him pull out three steel armor-piercing heavy arrows from the quiver, and then almost didn't even aim, and shot the three arrows at a very fast speed at the patrol team that was less than a hundred meters away from him.
Under the terrible speed of Richard's single twenty-something, the three strings sounded almost together, and the three arrows crossed a distance of hundreds of meters almost at the same time and came to the front of the patrol. Burst! Burst! Burst! After the sound of three arrows entering the flesh sounded, the three demonic warriors who were walking in the front were shot through the throat at the same time, and their bodies fell backwards and flew out. And coincidentally, one of them turned out to be the captain of this patrol. As a result, the patrol team directly lost its unified command in a short period of time. At the same time, because the three of them were hit by the arrows almost at the same time, this made these Demon God soldiers mistakenly believe that there was more than one enemy at all, and because it was too dark, they thought that the arrow was fired from an air defense position not far behind Richard.
These misunderstandings came together, so that some of the Demon God Army soldiers immediately believed that the air defense position not far ahead had been captured by the enemy's airborne troops, and those enemy troops were even using that position to prepare to attack them in an ambush. Looking at the captain who died tragically, this part of the Demon God Army soldiers blindly shot a wave of arrows at the air defense position without the commander's order.
Because the sky was too dark, the Demon God Army in the air defense position not far away did not immediately notice the return of their patrol team, so when this wave of arrows suddenly burst out of the night and took the lives of five soldiers on the spot, the defenders on these positions immediately thought that they were attacked by enemy airborne troops who had infiltrated nearby. Without saying anything, the defenders who had been attacked immediately responded violently to the 'enemy', and the fire that had been bombarding the sky before was immediately aimed at the place where the arrows came from not far away.
And that patrol team, at the beginning, it was true that only a very small number of soldiers rushed to attack without orders, but with the fire of the opposite side returning fire, after killing seven or eight soldiers on this side, the remaining patrol soldiers quickly joined the ranks of the attack. After all, these soldiers don't have such complicated thoughts, and if they are punched, they naturally have to find a way to fight back, otherwise it would be too bad to be beaten and not fight back. So without the commander's order, all the soldiers of this patrol also joined the attack, and the defenders on the opposite position went back and forth, and the fight was extremely lively.
Richard looked at the arrows and all kinds of magic that kept flying above his head, and for a moment he was completely confused, thinking that I just shot three arrows, why did these two guys fight on their own! However, since the enemy himself was fighting among themselves, and the ghosts were fighting ghosts, then he was also happy to see it, so he continued to lie in the grass, quietly watching these Demon God Army soldiers kill each other and bleed into a river.
"Damn! There are a lot of enemy troops on the other side! At least more than a hundred people, to be able to gather so many soldiers in such a short period of time and organize their offensive, it seems that the quality of this airborne force of the enemy army is very high! A Demon God soldier in the air defense position said as he pulled the trigger of the giant crossbow in front of him, and shot a huge crossbow bolt as thick as the shaft of a gun.
Because the sky was too dark, and at a glance he could only see a bunch of vague figures, so the Demon God Army soldier didn't know if his arrow hit the target, and immediately after shooting, he and his companions continued to reload.
However, because Richard was relatively close, he could clearly see whether the giant crossbow bolt had hit the target, or killed two birds with one stone, and pierced the bodies of two patrol soldiers before plunging headlong into the ground.
"Damn! Those enemies are using our giant crossbows against us! Are those guys on the ground all fools! Even if you can't hold the position, at least you have to destroy this thing before the position is captured! Seeing that two more soldiers had been killed, the patrol soldiers gritted their teeth with hatred, and then the fire that returned fire became even more intense.
In the case that both sides have fought real fire, the losses of both sides have risen in a straight line, but because the number of Demon God Army in the air defense position is a little more, and there are several powerful giant crossbows as firepower output on that position, so if this situation continues to develop, the final victory will definitely be the group of Demon God Army on the air defense position, which is not the result that Richard wants to see.
In order to make the forces of the two sides more balanced, Richard began to secretly release cold arrows at the defenders above the air defense position, and under his almost 100 shots, one after another Demon God Army soldiers fell to the ground, especially the controllers and loaders of those giant crossbows, which were his key caretakers.
Soon, all the giant crossbow operators and loaders on the air defense position were all killed, although those demon god troops soon sent a group of people out to control the giant crossbows, but because these people are not professional, whether it is the loading speed or the accuracy of shooting, all of them are greatly reduced, and the threat to the patrol team on the opposite side is greatly reduced.
However, despite Richard's covert help, the patrol team was the first to be defeated because of the small number of people, and after more than 70 people were killed, the remaining patrol soldiers were completely killed, and soon dispersed and disappeared into the night. At this time, there were still more than 30 defenders left on the air defense position.
Seeing that the enemy army on the opposite side was finally defeated, the more than 30 defenders who still survived on the air defense position couldn't help but cheer, the battle just now was really too hard, although the enemy was much less than them, but the will to fight was extremely resolute, and the archery was also very good, even in this dim night, there was a high hit rate, there were many soldiers on their side, they were killed by an arrow through the throat, and there was no chance to rescue them.
When the Demon God Army soldiers in these positions cheered, Richard had already quietly infiltrated a distance of only ten meters from this position, and those Demon God Army soldiers were in the most lax state at this time because they had just won a big victory, and they didn't find that a real enemy had sneaked into such a close distance from their position.
"Huh! I'm so happy to have won! Let the master set off a big fireworks for you again, and have fun! Richard sneered and threw a fist-sized crystal bomb into the middle of the line.
Suddenly, an unknown object flew out of the night and fell into the position, and the Demon God Army soldiers rushed up in curiosity to see what it was.
But just as they were on board, a violent explosion occurred. With a bang, most of the air defense positions were suddenly enveloped in the flames of the explosion.
