Chapter 330, Ineffective Charge
Shortly after the departure of the reinforcements of the "Coriopatra", the attacking teams transferred from the two positions of Crassus also began to advance in the direction of Caesar's new position, that is, the old position of Pompeii. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Crassus's team was divided into two routes, east and west, with five men each, and the western route was led by Arthur himself, without the aid of mobile equipment; And the east route is led by Arthur's deputy Bruce, and in addition to the combatants, he also brings a canine wolf beast soldier and an armored robot.
Originally, in terms of distance, the eastern detachment marching from the direction of Crassus's old position was closer to the target position and suitable as a striker, but Arthur, out of conservative considerations, asked Bruce to wait at the assembly point, which was still 3 kilometers away from Caesar's position, and wait for reinforcements from the eastern and western routes and the "Keriopatra" to arrive before attacking. Even after slowing down the march, Bruce and the others still arrived at the scheduled location nearly 20 minutes earlier than Arthur and Liu Yuying. With Arthur's permission, Bruce released the scouts and went to Caesar's position to inquire about the situation.
The darkness of the night enveloped the entire verdant Amazon rainforest, and among the shadows of the trees, the new positions of Caesar, which were still brightly lit, stood out: mechanical sentinels patrolled the roads of the positions in an orderly manner; On both sides of the gate of the position, the lookout window of the sentry fort, and the armory, you can see the figures of the sentry guards standing guard motionless; Even in the barracks area, where the lights should have been turned off at this time, some lights could be seen faintly coming from three or two windows.
"Report to the captain, Caesar's side is heavily guarded, but it seems that he has not noticed our movements, and he requests instructions for the next step." The scout sent back the scouting report, and Bruce, as always, passed the decision over to Arthur, who had already arrived at the rendezvous point. After making sure that all three groups of men and horses had arrived, Arthur commanded everyone to slowly advance in the direction of the position, preparing for a strong attack.
When he was less than 500 meters away from Caesar's position, Arthur stretched out his hand, and the armored robot at the forefront of the team immediately stood up straight, using its huge steel body as a shield, and rushed straight towards the gate of the position. Behind it, the Allied forces of Crassus and Cleopatra were also inspired, and after a volley of fire, they followed the robot's pace and launched a fierce assault on the position.
The two sentry figures standing on both sides of the gate of the position fell after a volley, and the defensive power grid located on the periphery of the position was also blown into a pile of broken copper and iron by the grenades thrown, and the armored robot rushed to the gate without hindrance like a hurricane transiting, and with a wave of the sword, it forcibly cut off the antler wood in front of the gate of the position, but just as it was about to step into the gate of the position, it was urgently stopped by Arthur: the Caesar position in front of him seemed to be something wrong.
"Stop! Stop, stop shooting! Arthur stood in the middle of the group and suddenly shouted, and all the team members were stunned, but they still obeyed the command and put down the guns in their hands. Then Arthur's strange appearance was suddenly revealed—quiet, too quiet! Not a single shot of counterattack was fired in the entire Caesar position, only the mechanical sentinels who sensed the enemy's situation were making a "gurgling" mechanical transmission sound and gathered towards the gate.
"Robot, throw the bodies of the two sentinels at the door." Arthur took two steps back and ordered the armored robot at the front of the line. The driver gave the order to pick up one of the "corpses" with his sword, and with a swing of the momentum, he threw the "corpse" into the middle of his own team - the "corpse" of Caesar's sentry scattered in the air before it could land, but it turned out to be a dummy tied up with branches, rags, and internal test uniforms!
"There is fraud! Stop attacking and retreat into the jungle! Arthur knew something was wrong when he saw the dummy disintegrating in the air, and immediately shouted and ordered everyone to retreat, and the Union army did not distinguish between the real and the fake, and when he heard the commanding order, he immediately turned and ran towards the forest...... The hurricane-like charge turned into a wind-like retreat, and a few minutes later, Crassus and Cleopatra's men were all cowering in a corner of the rainforest, gasping for breath, panic and wonder that plagued them like the lingering humidity of the rainforest—after a hasty count of the numbers, neither side had lost a single soldier, which meant that Caesar had not pursued even as they retreated.
"What's going on?" Didn't they even act as snipers? Looking at Caesar's position, which was still lit up, Arthur fell into a whirlpool of doubts and confused thoughts. The experience of nearly being devastated twice in the position held him back, and even though the sentry robots in Caesar's position had lost their targets and returned to their original positions, he still did not have the courage to step forward to find out again.
"I think most of us have been tricked, Mr. Arthur." Liu Yuying, who grew up in the oriental cultural circle and is familiar with the tricks of the "empty city plan", is quite calm, and after taking a breath, she said to Arthur, "We have been fooled, this position should have been abandoned, and there will be no living people in it." ”
"Abandoned? How can it be! There's only one position left for them! Arthur exclaimed, but then came back to his senses, and immediately grabbed his system dial to transfer the personnel left behind in Crassus's old and new positions, and shouted in a hurried voice, "Report the situation there immediately, whether there is an attack?" ”
