Act 85: The Battle of Truman's Base (5)
The slope created by the lickers is so wide, and it is already very crowded with seven or eight people walking side by side, and at this moment, there are at least more than 100 guns of various calibers of various calibers blocking this area, and many of them are 12.7 mm or even 14.5 mm big killers! In the face of skeleton soldiers and ghouls, wearing seven or eight at a time is trivial! Even if the mortars had long since stopped firing, the undead still couldn't break through the defenses of the Truman base.
The undead climbed up the slope, but as soon as they emerged, they were hit by a dense rain of bullets, leaving the corpses in one place to become parts to reinforce the slope. There are a lot of undead, but none of them can stand firmly on the slope for more than ten seconds, which is the defensive strength of the Truman base.
There are huge numbers of undead voids, and they can only eat in the face of such a narrow offensive line. Not to mention, in addition to the blockade of the rain of bullets, there are quite a few mortars waiting in the base, and as long as the undead show signs of a breakthrough, they will fight a round.
Dilitan and the others were stunned as they looked at the undead who had fallen like leeks in front of them, their hearts beating hard, and they didn't know whether they were excited or frightened.
"Hell! None of those bones have come up after such a long time! โ
The hot stove stared at the big round eyes and shouted, and his beard trembled.
Dilitian also said thoughtfully: "Count Bai, I'm very sorry that I was suspicious of your soldiers before, but now it seems that they and the mechanical crossbow in their hands are definitely a powerful army, and it is impossible for any army of the Seven Kingdoms to achieve this level." โ
Originally, they were very suspicious of how much combat effectiveness this team that had an iron-blooded temperament but had never really seen blood and had not undergone the harsh training of martial arts since childhood, and even a person with a fighting spirit could not find how much combat strength it could have.
But while it turned out that this force was as lame as they expected to deal with the undead of the Lickers and the like, once the opponent was replaced by the low-level skeletons and ghouls, the advantage of these soldiers was magnified exponentially, and the battle was completely crushed!
If any of the troops they knew came to defend with Dilitan, even if they could have been able to hold the wall steadily, it would not be possible to do so to this extent, and even the strongest formation would loosen under the impact of such a vast number of undead, and at that time, it would have to be filled with human lives.
Now they must admit that although there are still serious flaws in the troops of White Steel in the middle and high-end combat power, they are indeed very good in the low-end combat power!
Several people couldn't help but think that if the Seven Kingdoms were fighting with the undead, having such a force to help would definitely turn the entire battle situation upside down!
Anglia is a world of swords and sorcery, with enough men to fight a thousand, but it's the most basic infantry, cavalry, and archers who really support a battle.
A force that does not have a strong man in charge will naturally be beaten to the ground when it encounters an enemy with high-end combat power. But if the two sides are about the same level in terms of high-end combat power, then the most common way to fight on the Anglian continent is for the two sides to compete against ordinary armies, and the high-end combat power is to watch from the wall, chase if you win, and slip away if you lose, and basically will not shoot.
This way of fighting looks very strange, but it is a summary of the experience of nearly a thousand years of war - the mid-end combat power may also become the backbone of the army to lead the charge, but once the high-end combat power takes the lead in attacking the ordinary army, it is easy to be defeated by the enemy's high-end combat power to find a flaw and defeat it, and the high-end combat power loses the whole battle. As for the high-end direct to high-end situation, it is relatively rare, because generally speaking, high-end combat power is the core of the army, and it is not possible to attack them without first penetrating the army, but you can use high-end combat power to directly charge the battle in front of the enemy's high-end, which is completely an act of looking for death!
Of course, the reason why this kind of battle has become the default unspoken rule of both warring sides is also the reason why the nobles want to protect themselves.
If the number of high-end combat forces on both sides is large enough, then the status of ordinary armies will naturally decline to a supporting role, and how they will fight at this time depends on the thoughts of the commanders of both sides, but in the history of the entire Anglia continent, there are not many times such a big scene, so it is naturally not the norm.
So, if you can have an army armed with this mechanical crossbow...... That's enough for any country to have a huge military advantage in an instant!
As Dillian was thinking about the mechanical crossbow, a monster wearing a cloak and riding a skeleton horse suddenly slowly walked out of the sea of undead on the periphery of the wall, and as soon as this monster appeared, all the low-level undead retreated to the sides, watching him walk up the slope full of corpses.
"And a licker?"
Dilitan was slightly stunned, he remembered that those lickers were dressed like this before, and then he saw countless fire snakes pouring down on the arrogant monster, but what made everyone strange was that the 5.8mm small-caliber rifle bullet couldn't hit the monster, but how could even the 12.7mm or even 14.5mm machine gun bullet have no effect!?
It didn't take a few seconds for the skeleton horse and cloak under the monster's crotch to shreds, and then everyone saw the monster's true faceโthe size of a licker, but burly, with shield-like wings on its arms, and most of its body covered with a lobster-like hard shell.
"This ...... What kind of monster is this!? โ
Neither White Steel nor Dilitian had ever seen this type of undead creature.
"Be careful, this guy might be a 'xenopath'!"
The so-called xenomorphs, simply put, are mutant varieties that often appear in the undead and various magical beasts, which in itself is not surprising.
There are also some mutated varieties that often appear in nature on Earth, and most of them will be quickly eliminated due to their weak bodies.
It's the same in Anglia, the difference is that strong magical energy tends to make this mutation more frequent and violent, failing mutations are eliminated, and surviving xenos are also meant to be more difficult to deal with.
Therefore, in the other world, when people mention xenomorphs, they often have some panic emotions in them, because no one knows what they will face, but one thing is certain, that is, the other party will be very difficult to deal with.
Looking at the attitude of the low-level undead around him towards the alien species, Bai Gang thought thoughtfully: "Look at the posture, is this guy the high-level who commands the undead legion......?"
