Chapter 346: The Root of the Wall, the Pile of Corpses
"You are all young and should have more time to grow and mature." Qian Huaifan stood on the improvised high platform, his eyes full of faces looking up at him, "But being young doesn't mean that you don't need to shoulder responsibility!" β
The dazzling high-level lights shook the grassland like daylight, and nearly 2,000 students looked up at Qian Huaifan on the high platform.
Directly below the high platform, there were many teachers with solemn faces, and they collectively held their hands and looked at these immature teenagers.
2,000 students gathered, not only Nanjing University, but also all students from three universities in Nanjing An'an City who were above four-star students.
Of course, there are many sophomores or above who have not reached the fourth star, but they are not forced to recruit, but come voluntarily.
Afraid?
Fear! I'm scared to death!
Their legs were swinging, trying to keep themselves from falling to the ground, but they had to come, because their friends and brothers, and their classmates, who usually laughed and played, came.
So they have to come, too!
If they don't come, no one will poke them in the back, but I'm afraid that I won't have the face to see those classmates who died in battle, and I'm afraid that my waist will never be able to stand up straight.
"You will come back safely, everyone, in peace. Your parents are still waiting for you, waiting for you to come back and eat some hot food! After this war, you will be transformed, and your name will be engraved on the monument of the school's history! There is only one thing you have to do, protect yourself, and don't let the merits of the school history monument become your epitaph! β
At the front of the student group, one by one figures are standing, they are undoubtedly much more relaxed than the rest of the people, these are the leaders of the student group, many of them are already martial artists who have made a lot of prestige in Nanjing Safe City.
Xiang Chen sighed lightly.
No matter how impassioned Qian Huaifan said, he couldn't change the ending of the nearly 2,000 faces of the master who spilled a lot of blood in the wilderness after a battle of this scale.
For the more than 100 teachers of the martial arts academy gathered by the three academies, Qian Huaifan did not initiate a mobilization order, they are all adult martial artists who have experienced blood and fire, and they have their own balance between protecting their families and defending the country and protecting their lives.
It may not be appropriate to scatter the tree and the fox here, but the meaning is that I understand the truth in it. In the same way, no one is stupid, and there is no stupid person to do stupid things that can't contribute by sacrificing themselves needlessly, and there is no stupid person to do it.
For them, Qian Huaifan just said with a cold face, "If someone dies first, I hope it will be a teacher instead of a student", and the decision made these hundreds of people understand his attitude.
There is no way for students to go to the battlefield, the war reserve and distribution of Nanjing Security City is somewhat dwarfed by this kind of tough battle, and the combat effectiveness of the two thousand warriors of the three major academies cannot be underestimated, and it is impossible to let it go, but if any of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, he will be the first to settle accounts after the autumn.
The students looked at their teachers and commanders with monstrous fighting spirit, the swing on their legs was no longer beaten, and their trembling hands eased a lot, and Xiang Chen, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sigh again.
It's a bit ideal and naΓ―ve, when it comes to the battlefield, the overwhelming beasts rush to the sky, the Bailai teachers, but they are not as powerful as they think, the quantity mismatch determines that the quality can't keep up, and the Bailai people protect 2,000 people?
It's pretty much the other way around!
"Everyone is out of the gate of this school, we are an army, since we are an army, I have only one order for you, and that is to obey orders! Everyone, you must obey the teacher's command, you are soldiers! β
Qian Huaifan kept yelling in his voice, but he didn't feel tight at all, after shouting this, he glanced at Xiang Chen below thoughtfully and said: "Xiang Chen, a student of Nanjing University, has the right to act independently!" β
"I also apply for the right to self-help!"
The one who spoke was a strange man, with a tenacious and iron-clad face, quite unfamiliar, but looking at the direction was from Naner's side.
Of course, Qian Huaifan rejected the request without thinking about it, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the students of Nan Eryi Gang, this is the first person in their school, why can't they do it at Nan University? Could it be that it is to engage in differential treatment?
It wasn't until Qian Huaifan said "All students above ten stars can get the right to act independently" that he pressed back the fryer of Nan Eryi's vote, but they all looked at the broken-haired man in the fairy couple at the front of Nan University in disbelief, and they couldn't imagine how a student could get ten stars?
The students of Nanda naturally laughed out loud, and said goodbye to Brother Xiang, the tiger man of Nan Er really thought too much.
A cold "departure" sounded, and thousands of people rushed out to sit on the buses that had been waiting here, and the suppressed fighting spirit could be understood as unity, but in Xiang Chen's opinion, there was always a sense of desolation of rushing to the execution ground.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The beast is coming.
The four simple words could not describe the vast soup, but the strange sounds on the edge of the sky finally converged into an overwhelming roar, and the campus students standing at the 11th city defense point of the south wall of Nanjing Safety City realized that the real battlefield was far from the place where they imagined to make contributions.
The slogan that humanity will win is not a stimulant that can be inspiring every time.
"Woo~~~~~~!"
Whether it is an electronic synthesis sound or not, the sound of this horn does have the charm of an ancient battlefield horse leather shroud.
Since the rise of martial artists, people have discovered that the blood that can be swayed by the movement of the ancient rhinoceros horn is far more fearless than any other modern note.
Click!
Tens of thousands of high lights are lit up, the crystallization of human wisdom is vividly embodied here, the light is soft and not dazzling, but the irradiation distance is frighteningly far away, under the light of ten thousand lights, the sky above Nanjing Safety City seems to be lit up with 10,000 miniature suns, and the range of dozens of kilometers outside the city wall of this huge security city is illuminated clearly.
In any case, the soldiers should not be allowed to fight the enemy in the dark, this is the death order given by the military god of China to a vote of scientists.
The interstellar searchlight used decades ago to explore the lightless planet has been moved to the city defense system of Safe City by these whimsical brains.
The clearer it is for the soldiers, the better, but for the students, this visible horror is no better than the oppression in the dark.
There are too many, no one has ever seen so many strange beasts.
The southern city wall of Nanjing An'an City is naturally extremely wide, and the east and west pull out a battle line of hundreds of kilometers, so there are city defense points everywhere, and there is only one division and 2,000 college teachers and students guarding the eleventh city defense point.
Xiang Chen's location is actually relatively remote, and compared with the most central city defense points, the pressure is undoubtedly much less.
But the overwhelming beast shadow in the distance encompassed hundreds of kilometers of defense lines.
Boom Boom!
If it weren't for the people all around, the students on the city wall would have to come out with a group of deserters who escaped from the battle.
There was a sound of the wheel turning, and on the south wall of Nanjing Safety City, there were 3,000 more streamlined narrow mouth cannons, which was the foundation of the entire Nanjing Safety City.
In the sky above the most central part of the city wall, there is a figure quietly suspended, wearing a military uniform, wearing a snow-white thick fox fur, it stands to reason that this somewhat coquettish way of dressing is somewhat inappropriate on the soldiers, but those who know the hidden situation know that this snow-white thick fox fur is the most proud achievement of Liu Zhenye, the commander-in-chief of Nanjing.
This was peeled off from a handsome beast Snow Fox after he killed it five years ago, and it would be used to go into battle on important occasions.
In his own words, wearing this fox fur would have scared the beasts into not moving.
Today he put on again, and there has never been a more appropriate time than today.
Liu Zhenye was suspended in the sky like a stone Buddha, motionless, until the overwhelming area reached the range of twenty kilometers, Liu Zhenye's eyes shone brightly.
"Put!!"
The roar was like thunder, even Qian Huaifan, who was famous for his lion roar skills, had to admit that in terms of this voice alone, Liu Zhenye was afraid that he would not lose it at all.
The roar is actually just to boost the momentum, compared to the way of muffled amplification moves, it is obviously more morale-oriented, and at the same time as shouting, Liu Zhenye also pressed a mechanical button that had already been clenched in his hand.
This button has to input a considerable amount of force to press, which is to prevent things like hand shaking.
The button was pressed, and in the combat headquarters in the southeast district of Nanjing Security City, in a war room full of precision instruments and filled with blue light, dozens of old, middle-aged and young hands sitting in front of the complex operating system turned into nothingness at the same time.
The three thousand narrow-mouth cannons were each given life, each constantly fine-tuning its muzzle.
Three seconds later, a big blue sun lit up in the south of Nanjing's safe city.
Laser weapons, compared to gunpowder weapons, their killing effect on alien beasts is many times better.
Three thousand thick pillars of light with a diameter of more than three meters shot out in a salvo, and the good thing about laser weapons is that the speed reaches the speed of light, as long as they are aimed, there is no way to avoid it. Under the careful planning and strong manipulation of those dozens of top operators, the three thousand pillars of light hit the three thousand ballistics that could cause the best effect.
Three thousand blood paths were blasted out, and dozens of millions of alien beasts were burned into particles before they even saw what Nanjing Safety City looked like, and the beast tide paused for a moment.
But Liu Zhenye's face did not show the slightest joy.
The diameter of three meters is very thick, but it depends on who it is compared with, and it is placed on the beast tide that has hundreds of kilometers in the horizontal energy and cannot see the end, not to mention that it is a drop in the bucket, but it is also about the same.
Wuyi Mountain, after all, is a place where it has been fighting with one side of the security city for decades, even if it is divided into three safety cities, it is terrifying to be able to dispatch the nest.
But I had to put it because there was no better way.
"Put it again!"
After a short recharge, another 3,000 pillars of light burst out, and this time the beast tide didn't stop for a moment.
This is the end of the appearance of laser weapons, not to mention the thousands of tons of ultra-high-capacity batteries consumed by those two salvos, and the already red-hot barrels alone will not allow them to fire a third time.
The alien beasts have been fighting with humans for so many years, and they can also see through the little tactics of humans.
Therefore, there were no top-level existences in front of them earlier, after all, they were those top-level existences, and they were not willing to eat this kind of earth-destroying thing.
The cannon fodder in front was consumed, and the quality in the back came up at once, and the battle between alien beasts and humans was the ancient siege war, one riveted to break the city, and the other said nothing.
The sound of the wheels sounded again, and the huge laser cannon door shrank down the inside of the city wall, and all that was left was the time for the gunpowder to take effect.
Five more figures rose into the air.
Mayor He, Zhang Yong, branch president of the Martial Arts Association, Xu You, the governor of heaven, the fat old man with long eyebrows, the president of Nanjing Second University, and the beautiful woman who is the president of Nanjing Women's College.
The five of them plus Liu Zhenye and Shanhe Dao He Chuan, these seven are all the existing martial arts masters in Nanjing Safety City.
In fact, there are still martial arts masters who have gone out in Nanjing, but this place is a bit unable to retain people, because there are too few wars, and in order to compete for cultivation resources, many martial arts masters have gone to the safe city where there are high-level alien beast gathering areas in the province.
"Human, war!"
Mayor He was unusually elegant, and the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand was shocked, and he shouted angrily at the human defense line of Baili.
The mayor of one side took the lead, and naturally the crowd was passionate.
Six martial arts masters are in the air, this is the confidence of human beings!
"You still look a little bit like today, what about Jin Lingwei?" Liu Zhenye glanced at his old rival and snorted.
"Jinling Wei is on standby at any time, the three fourteen-star Jinling Imperial Throne commanders, their task is to check and fill in the gaps, where there is a problem with the defense line, where to make up, where the bones are the hardest! What about the two of you? Mayor He asked.
"Naturally, the same is true of my Warrior Association's adjudication office."
"Iron-blooded special battalion, there is no one of them!"
Seeing that these three people were united as one person, Xu You, the superintendent nodded, no matter how infighting human beings usually are, when they meet that group of beasts, they can always put aside their prejudices and be unanimous with the outside world.
Mayor He looked at the two principals again: "What about the old people?" β
"He Lao wants to go to the depths of the beast tide to see where the end is, and estimate the enemy's strength." Beautiful woman is humane.
The artist is bold, and several people present are a little admired.
β¦β¦
While a few people were talking, the artillery fire below had already exploded into strings.
The roar and roar sent the entire city, known for its tranquility, into complete panic, and many people shrank into their closets shivering, or staring at the fire in the sky as if they had lost their souls.
Even the most unscrupulous street bastards are a little religious, praying for the soldiers on the front line to keep safe.
There are no eggs under the nest.
More of them are the poor people who are clenched in their hearts, because their sons, husbands, fathers, and even the daughters of the family are all fighting on the wall, shedding their blood to defend the pure land of mankind.
β¦β¦
The effect of gunpowder on alien beasts is extremely limited, and the higher the level of alien beasts, the more so.
Therefore, when the first strange beast pounced on the root of the city wall, many people panicked.
But this city wall is also the crystallization of human technology.
If it had been so easy to be breached, humanity would have perished under the iron hooves of the alien beasts.
Tough, hard, heavy, towering, these are the characteristics of the walls of the city of safety.
"Phew...... one of Nan'er's students breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the helpless beast under the city wall and laughing, "Isn't this stable?" They can't get up, so it's too easy, right? β
At this time, at their city defense point, many soldiers no longer fired into the distance, they simply stepped on the fence by the wall, pointed their guns directly below, bullets rained down, patches of blood mist burst up, and those strange beasts that were frantically tearing the city wall were beaten into a sieve.
Steady?
Xiang Chen didn't think so, he also stepped on the fence with one foot and looked down.
He was at the railing, but there was no rain break here, and naturally he couldn't get angry. It's just that the doubts and uneasiness in my heart are intensifying.
The walls of the safe city are impregnable, especially the outer layers, so such a collective suicidal charge has to be for something, right?
It wasn't until Liu Zhenye, who was high in the air, roared angrily, "Don't let those beasts fall under the city wall", that Xiang Chen suddenly realized.
Their corpses were piled up a little too high.
Two years ago, the city wall of Nanjing An'an City was 21 meters high, that is, about seven stories high, and it was one of the worst city walls in China. In the past two years, the policy has changed, and the city wall of Huaxia has been repaired, although the city wall of Nanjing An'an City is still not as large as the imperial capital of the magic capital, which is often dozens of meters larger than the giant beast of nearly 100 meters, it has also reached the level of 30 meters.
30 meters, ten floors high, this height, a bit of fear of heights people have to look down are dizzy, if you use 10 or 20 centimeters thick people to pile, just stacked vertically into a pile of more than 200 people.
But with the continuous killing and death of the alien beasts, the corpse pile under the city wall that has been paved horizontally for nearly 100 kilometers and one or two kilometers vertically has a tendency to pile up to 30 meters thick, and the alien beasts behind it stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed up, even if they were quickly torn to pieces by bullets, they could add a brick and a tile to this flesh ladder.
More and more people have discovered this, because I don't know when those strange beasts who were originally far away can already see their faces.
Humans began to roar, they were anxious, panicked, scared.
You can't fight each other in a short fight, and that's the beginning of cruelty.
Their bullets are shot out like money, although many commanders are shouting "don't mess around", but people's fear can't be stopped once it spreads, and the army that orders and prohibits it is a bit out of control, not to mention those idle social warrior mercenary groups.
They did a lot of work to hunt strange beasts, but at this time, the identities of hunters and prey obviously fell apart.
The ammunition stockpile, which was originally planned to last eight hours, was quickly running out, and at this time, no one cared what the benefits were maximized, and the meaningless scene of throwing high-explosive grenades down like money and smashing into a pile of corpses and blowing up a pile of whole corpses into minced meat naturally happened.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
A company commander grabbed a somewhat crazy social warrior and slapped him to the ground, just a second ago, this person had just thrown down an entire armament box of nearly 100 high-explosive grenades, blowing up a deafening sound and shaking the roof tiles, but the actual effect was mediocre, it was remarkable to blow up twenty or thirty living beasts, plus blow up hundreds of beast corpses.
The company commander blew up his lungs.
There was no such person as a company commander in the eyes of the social warriors, so he got up with a gun and began to shoot again.
Such scenes are everywhere.
Fortunately, the brainless firepower of human beings has always had a certain effect, and some of the alien beasts are afraid of being killed.
The corpses are piled up into a small mountain bag, and no matter how little IQ you have, you always know a little fear. Just like the ancient siege of the city for a long time, the army's morale was weakened, and the current beast tide was somewhat hesitant, without the previous strength of not being afraid of death.
Whew~~~~
Just when someone wanted to take the opportunity to shout "human beings will win" was stuck in the throat, the joy was terminated before it could be puffed up, and the three words "brained beast" appeared in the hearts of many people who understood.
This roar that runs through the heavens and the earth, like a wolf, not a wolf, a fox, and not a fox, sounds a little bewitching to the heart, but it is not the human heart that bewitches, but the heart of the beast.
The pioneers of the beast tide, who had been hesitant, began to die with passion again, and that's not all, after clearing the clouds, they might see not the sun, but the darker and thicker cumulonimbus clouds.
The beasts behind parted, and the rumbling did not stop from half a minute ago, and when the people on the city wall finally saw what was in front of them, many of them sat down directly to the ground.
A behemoth is coming.
There are giant elephants more than ten meters high but mottled but named after white jade, giant tiger-eyed fox-eared black brown bears that many people in Fujian Province avoid, and of course, there are also thorny giant forest porcupines with solid armor three or four stories high.
Most of the bullets that hit them could only make a ping-pong sound, leaving insignificant white dots, almost like itching, and only a powerful spiraling armor-piercing bullet could pierce their copper skin.
But as it passes through their outrageously thick subcutaneous fat, it slowly loses kinetic energy and becomes a stationary bullet casing.
High-explosive grenades can blow up their flesh and ruin their skin, but those small flesh pits are somewhat desperate compared to their huge bodies.
Their footsteps were unstoppable, and they finally stepped on the ground and crawled under the city wall one by one, but they didn't think they were big enough to break through the great wall of steel of humanity, but they just squatted down and stopped moving.
The firepower of the defenders of the city was still pouring out dying, especially after some high-star warriors threw the armor-piercing spears that had been prepared for a long time, and the giant beasts could not stand it, and pieces of death began to appear.
But that's their mission.
He ordered them to die under the wall.
"Bah, I'm scared to death, this stupid bear!"
A warrior snorted angrily, holding the long stick in his hand and poked down from the side of the city wall, he was poking the tiger-eyed fox-eared black brown bear whose head was beaten into honeycomb coal by the fire, at this time the black brown bear was sitting on the pile of foreign beast carcasses more than ten meters high, and its huge body leaned forward on the south wall of Nanjing Safety City, and the head of a bear the size of a small thatched house was held high until it died.
The warrior is emboldening himself with this behavior, and just now the bear claw of the big black bear is almost picked up, but fortunately, it is united to solve it.
This warrior poked a few times, and suddenly the whole person froze, motionless, and the performance talent made the surrounding companions let out a somewhat deliberate laugh, and the human beings were all expressing their ease.
But this warrior has no intention of performing at all.
Because under the city walls, there were some places where the high lights could not be found, and large green eyes were staring at him.
The tiger-eyed fox-eared black brown bear is dead, dead under the city wall, but its corpse is not the best natural ladder? His black fur was crawling with an unknown number of strange beasts, and they stared upwards with fierce eyes, jumping up along the shoulders of the black brown bears, a distance that had already entered their ability to leap up the city wall.
When the first terrible howl of mankind sounded, this offensive and defensive war officially entered the next stage.
Hand-to-hand combat, hand-to-hand combat.
Human casualties began to appear, like a flood that burst its banks, and it was out of control.
