Volume 2 Blood and Yellow Sand Chapter 8 Night Attack
Just when the Persians attacked again. Several figures, under the cover of night, quietly left the ranks of the Greeks. Run to the coastline on the west side.
Zhou Qi looked at Xia Ruobing's cat-like figure in front of him, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seems that after this sturdy woman declares her sovereignty over herself, she is like a lioness who protects her calf, and she never leaves her left and right. With her, the remaining two members of the Silver Fox team, as well as the other three contractors. There were a total of 7 people on their trip.
Xia Ruobing, who was running, suddenly stopped and took off the wildly shaped machete from his back.
As she moved, the makeshift squad stopped behind her.
Following the direction of progress, in the moonlight, the figures of Persian soldiers near the coastline in front could be faintly seen. In addition to this, there are several wild beasts, cruising around non-stop. A dark blue glow in their eyes flickered in the darkness.
A phalanx of hoplites of about a thousand men was stationed here.
Except for the cliffs on the side of the hills. This is the only access to the western coastline. At the same time, it is also the narrowest throat of this passage.
Although before leaving, I had expected all this. But when they saw with their own eyes that the only way forward was blocked, everyone's faces showed a little heaviness.
With the Greek army facing the enemy head-on, powerful contractors can use their strengths or use weapons far ahead of their time to inflict massive damage on their enemies. But having lost the numerical barrier, in the face of the hoplites armed to the teeth of the Persians, with only 7 of them, rushing forward is undoubtedly equivalent to taking the initiative to seek death.
"What now?" Several people exchanged glances with each other, and one of the contractors asked in a low voice. There was obviously a little more hesitation in his tone.
"Humph! What else can I do? Naturally, he rushed over to his father! Xia Ruobing snorted lightly, his palm gently stroked the blade, and his white and slender fingers gripped the handle of the knife hard.
The corners of Zhou Qi's mouth twitched slightly, and he lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Who of you has a movement speed booster?"
"I've got a flask of agility here." A contractor spoke, pulling out a flask of a potion glowing with green magic from the heraldic space.
"Agility Elixir, item level blue elite. Temporarily increases agility by 5 and lasts for 1 hour. Don't put it with poison......"
Zhou Qi had seen it sold in the market before. Potions with temporary bonuses are different from the recovery potions sold in the shop, and are scarce items. Prices are at least above 1500 points.
"Agile Elixir is worth 2,000 points, trade it to me. The six of you cover me and rush over. ”
"No! If you want to go, I'll go too. Xia Ruobing glared at Zhou Qi, and there was a silver dagger-shaped badge in his hand.
"Escape Dagger, Item Grade Golden Rare. Equip a location accessory. The wearer can use a blink skill to get out of combat. Effective range 200 meters. Cooldown time 12 hours. This is a powerful piece of magical equipment, please be aware of the surrounding terrain when using it........"
Great stuff! It seems that this woman really went to the mission world of Warcraft before. In addition to learning the orc Juggernaut's blade storm, he also got a perverted life-saving item such as an escape dagger.
"I'd better go, don't forget, I can heal." With that, he traded 2,000 points and took the Agility Elixir.
"And! When did the daddy be so awesome. Then! Remember to return me! Xia Ruobing threw the badge in his hand over.
Zhou Qi caught it and grabbed it in his hand. I felt a trace of warmth in my heart inexplicably.
"Don't fight hard later, and lead the Persians to the Greek army at the right opportunity." He said this to several people on the surface, but when he spoke, his eyes inadvertently stayed on Xia Ruobing's body for a while.
The muffled sound of Barrett's sniper rifle rang out in the night sky. The huge head of a beast exploded violently as if it had been run over by a truck.
Immediately afterward, several grenades streaked across the night sky and exploded in the ranks of the Persians. Set off a large wave of heat and corpses.
After Xia Ruobing took the lead in firing, several other contractors also showed their own methods.
Zhou Qi hid behind a reef near the west side, waiting for an opportunity. He saw that the ranks of the Persians stationed there began to move, and several groups of hoplites broke away from the phalanx and surrounded them to the flank.
Not enough! This could not fully attract the entire infantry phalanx.
At this moment, a contractor reluctantly tore a scroll in his hand. With the strong magic fluctuations, fireballs the size of bowls flew out of his hands one after another. scattered in the phalanx of the Persians. The violent explosion that emitted high temperatures took dozens of lives in an instant.
Bright firelight, while exposing their location.
At this moment, the originally calm phalanx was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and a large number of soldiers rushed out of the queue with rumbling steps.
"Opportunity! Now is the time! Zhou Qi decisively drank the agility elixir. In an instant, he felt a lightness under his feet. Then, he leapt out of the reef where he was hiding in a flash of lightning. The target is directed at the gap exposed by the passage!
Sticking to the Persians' flanks, Zhou Qi was supported by up to 15 points of agility, and the wind swept like a wind.
According to his previous physical fitness, in the real world, 3 points of agility belong to the average level of ordinary people. If it takes a person 15 seconds to complete the 100 meters, it only takes him 3 seconds to complete the 100 meters. The digitized body, in the task, so that he does not feel tired. Bursts of speed and power that can be maintained almost infinitely at their limits.
In just a moment, he had evaded the main force pursued by the Persians. At this moment, there are only a hundred enemies blocking the road ahead.
At the moment when he quickly approached the enemy, Zhou Qi kicked the ground with both feet and jumped high! Jump over the heads of the soldiers below! He waved his hands in the air, trying to keep his balance. A smile flashed across the corner of his mouth. He did it! With the support of several teammates, he made his way through the Persian line with great ease!
As his feet touched the ground, Zhou Qi rolled on the ground in embarrassment. Counteracts the powerful impact force on the landing. Then he stood up, glanced back at the Persians who were chasing behind him, and spat out the sand in his mouth. Turn and run forward.
Xia Ruobing held the handle of his sword, and a large number of Persian soldiers were already close in front of him. A pair of smart eyes stared at Zhou Qi who was walking into darkness in the distance.
"Stinky boy, remember to give the old lady back alive!" She muttered to herself. The next moment, she held the giant blade in her hand and rushed towards the enemy group.
The cold waters enveloped his body with bursts of waves. The end of the beach was shrouded in a black fog. Zhou Qi walked into the sea with water. With the speed of the temporary bonus, he swam quickly towards the location of the bridge-building sailboat in his memory.
The water nature he learned in the stream at the entrance of the town since he was a child makes him feel like a swimming fish in the water at the moment, churning flexibly in the waves.
On the wide sea, under the reflection of the moonlight, he vaguely saw that about 2 nautical miles ahead, several ship shadows with full lights had appeared in his field of vision.
He paddled hard, getting closer and closer to his goal.
At this moment, he could clearly see by the light of the fire that the sailboat was already landing at the bottom of the cliff. Five thick iron chains stretching from the opposite strait to the stern. A group of Persian craftsmen and slaves were busy working on the deck. The bow of the ship was facing a cliff shrouded in black mist.
The beach below the cliff is lit up in the daylight. Several thick iron pillars hugged by several people, and at some point, they were fixed to the ground in a neat row.
If the chain connection was completed, then the Persians only needed to lay planks on it, and soon they could build a rope bridge across the two banks! At that time, they will no longer be subject to the restrictions of ship transportation, and large numbers of Persian troops will swarm through this miraculous passage. This is a complete disaster for the contractor!
To know! Just two waves of troops have already stretched the strength of the contractors, and there have even been casualties.
Zhou Qi slowed down and cautiously approached the sailboat.
Just with the broadsword in his hand, with his current strength. He simply could not inflict damage on the sturdy hull.
He had to go to the ship in search of an opportunity.
Obviously, his luck was not bad, and on one side of the ship, there was a gangway made of several thick ropes. At the end of the gangway, several escape boats are fixed.
Zhou Qi climbed up like a raccoon cat along the rope ladder. At the top of the rope ladder, he carefully observed the environment on the deck under the cover of a lifeboat. In addition to the large number of craftsmen and slaves, there were several samurai patrolling back and forth on the deck with narrow scimitars and silver masks covering their faces.
Zhou Qi's gaze shrank. He noticed the hands of these soldiers! That's not the palm of a human hand at all. To be exact, more like the claws of the werewolf in the movie.
It doesn't matter what they are! There is no doubt that this is a group of dangerous guys.
About 20 meters to his right, behind two samurai, guarded the entrance to the cabin. In the heraldic space, he only had 10 grenades that he had improvised with Bloody Points. It's simply not realistic to blow up all the ships.
As his gaze progressed, Zhou Qi's breathing instantly sped up a few points. He saw that behind the entrance to the cabin, there stood a huge winch! The thick iron chain ran along the winch and stretched into the distance!
"That's right! As long as the winch is destroyed and the chain sinks naturally into the sea, then the Persians will not be able to erect a rope bridge by this method in a short time! ”
Zhou Qi pondered his thoughts carefully.
Immediately, it occurred to me that this may be the most feasible method at present!
At this time, an inexplicable crisis suddenly surged in his heart! Zhou Qi barely thought about it, and threw himself on the deck!
The sound of a blade tearing through the air in his ears swept by, and he felt a chill in his left shoulder, followed by a sharp pain that pierced his heart.
Their own actions are exposed!
