Revised Edition Volume 18 The End of the World Chapter 3 Nagano Raiders (II)

On July 18, Jiang Xu sent into the dense forest to find traces of the Feria royal troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Jiang Xu immediately ordered the Fourth Army led by Hong Wushuang to enter the dense forest to pursue, and he led the First Army to move towards the landing site of Feria's reinforcements, intending to cut off Feria's rear route. The Fourth Army, which consisted mainly of the Taiyan Army, was also quite inconvenient to move through the dense forest, and it took a week to advance before encountering the main force of a Feria's army. At this time, Hong Wushuang only had 10,000 people in his direct division, and the Feria army had more than 4,000 people. The rain continued to fall, and the two sides fought hard for five or six games without a winner.

It was not until July 29 that Hong Wushuang's troops gradually concentrated, and Jiang Xu also eliminated more than 3,000 Feria soldiers on the back and led his army to press over from the north, and after forming an encirclement of these Feria soldiers, the tide of the battle was reversed. In the decisive battle on the 29th, the two armies of Jiang Xu and Hong Wushuang annihilated more than 3,700 of the Feria army, and only a few hundred escaped. However, after many days of marching in the forest, the army was not only exhausted, but also plagued, and it seemed that it was no longer able to fight again in a short time. Jiang Xu didn't expect the situation to be so bad in advance, so he couldn't help but feel worried, and summoned Hong Wushuang to ask: "You give me an opinion, what should I do next?" ”

Hong Wushuang insisted: "We must attack, there are no more Feria soldiers in front, and we can't give up halfway." We're close to the core of Nagano Island, and the Wood Elves may have been hiding from us, but if we go any further, they won't be able to dodge anymore. ”

At her insistence, Jiang Xu selected one of the most elite Demon Swordsman Equipment Regiment to move on, and the rest of the troops withdrew from the rainforest. The regiment marched hard for another three days, and finally came to an open area with beautiful mountains and rivers, and encountered the remnants of more than 300 Felian soldiers who had escaped from the previous decisive battle, and the wood elves who had been pursuing. However, although the Feria's soldiers were too few to ignore, the wood elves numbered in the tens of thousands, and everyone pointed their bows and arrows at the human soldiers, which was obviously a very unfriendly gesture. And at this time, the more than 300 Ferian soldiers stood arrogantly behind the army of Wood Elves and pointed fingers, as if they were accomplices with the Wood Elves - no, more accurately, the master.

As described by Jing Wei, the elves are humanoid creatures that are closer to human form than the mages of Feria, but are generally taller and thinner. Most of them wore rudimentary totemic masks on their faces and were painted with many strange patterns on their bodies. The weapon was primitive, nothing more than a light bow and bamboo arrow, and it was evident from the subsequent battles that its effective range did not exceed 80 meters. It seems that Jiang Xu and the others suddenly returned to the West African grasslands more than a thousand years ago and met the indigenous tribes of humans. So many xenomorph creatures are serving Feria, which psychologically has a very negative impact on Jiang Xu and the others who have struggled to get here. Jiang Xu held the binoculars and looked at them for a long time, and asked Hong Wushuang with a sad face: "Are you sure to kill all these unfriendly creatures?" ”

Hong Wushuang shook his head and said, "I'm nothing, but the soldiers are tired." Even if you are invulnerable, you don't know how long you can drag such a heavy body forward. And you look at those wood elves, as Jing Wei said, their bodies are extremely soft and agile, and many people are doing somersaults on the spot to relieve boredom, see? ”

Jiang Xu shifted the angle of the telescope, saw what Hong Wushuang said, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Come on, in this case, even if our soldiers can hack them to death with one sword, they will have to cut them three or four times to be hit?" The physical strength of the soldiers is really ......"

"If you look closely at the high place where the Feria soldiers are, there seems to be something abnormal."

Jiang Xu looked at the direction carefully, shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, your eyesight is too amazing, right?" ”

Hong Wushuang smiled slightly: "I can't see clearly, but my intuition tells me that there is a problem there, call the air force to reconnoitre." ”

"In this forest, the unequaled sister is the chief, and the elder brother is obedient." Jiang Xu smiled, called the herald, and gave Hong Wushuang's request.

The Third Fleet had only a small number of troops left to stay in the Gonggong Fortress, and the stealth reconnaissance ships were also distributed in several sensitive airspace to monitor the reinforcements of Feria, which could not be easily dispatched. The few stealth reconnaissance boats that have made great efforts in the attack and defense of Selmo are now being renovated, and no one can really move except Jiang Xu. Before the scout ship could move, the Wood Elves launched a tentative attack. About three hundred elves wielding shoddy swords and guns roared towards Jiang Xu and the others, and more than two thousand elves with bows and arrows behind them approached step by step, and soon approached the place of one stone's stone. Hong Wushuang felt a big headache: "These guys don't wait!" According to the general's orders, if you can't have a grudge against them, then you can't kill too much, but if you take the initiative to provoke them to die, maybe we can't just stand here and let them chop and shoot around? ”

Jiang Xu has been watching Hong Wushuang act since the pursuit, but now seeing that she is distressed and has no plan, he can't help but snicker in his heart, and pretends to be calm and says, "Of course it won't work." Wushuang sister, my brother has already taken care of it. ”

When the melee attack force of the Wood Elves rushed to a distance of just over a hundred meters from the Demon Swordsman Regiment, the camp of the Swordsman Regiment suddenly dispersed, and a hundred people came out of it with clothes and patterns that were obviously different from ordinary soldiers. They are all captains of the swordsman squad, and their equipment is sharper and neater. However, at this time, there was no need for them to step forward to kill the enemy, they just untied the shotgun that had been behind their backs according to Jiang Xu's instructions, and aimed at the front in unison - although this kind of violent gun is the same whether it is aimed or not, it is even more psychological pressure on the other party if it is aimed neatly. Jiang Xu was satisfied, and saw that the wood elf was rushing fast, and if he tasted it carefully, he would have to rush to the front of him to fight hand-to-hand, and hurriedly ordered: "Shoot!" ”

There was a shocking explosion from the front of the Demon Swordsmen's Order, and then smoke filled with it, as if Jiang Xu had suddenly demoted the Demon Swordsmen to the arquebusiers of the eighteenth century, but the guys they held in their hands were not comparable to the arquebuses.

The leaders of the demon swordsman squad are holding the old Futian shotgun of the 33 type, and the range can reach 100 meters, but anyone who has studied firearms knows that the range of 100 meters is a joke, and they don't know where they have gone, and the actual effective killing range is only about 50 meters. These shotgun projectiles are scattered to a width of more than two meters when they reach a distance of 20 meters, and their power decreases rapidly as the distance increases, and when they reach a distance of 50 meters, if the target is wearing heavy autumn and winter clothing, most of them will not be able to penetrate. I have seen a lot of similar weapons that are more powerful than this old Foton, and I have seen a Krupp rifle designed by Germany in six or seven years, which uses a special set rocket, similar to the flowering shell of a howitzer, so the effective range can reach 400 meters; With a laser sight, it can effectively reflect the range of the impact point at that distance, basically the aimer can see how many red dots on his body, and how many blood holes will burst out when he shoots; The whole gun is made of sitee polymer, which is strong and lightweight, weighing only 1.5 kilograms, which can be called a must-have for gangsters to fight and kill people. The range of 400 meters is also much sharper than that of Fukuda, and it is claimed that one gun can be worth the effect of ten Fukuda. The Krupp rifle is good for everything, only the price is not good, it is one hundred and eighty times that of the Foton 33 type, if it is to be built in batches, the plant equipment does not know how much to invest, so our standard weapons are still designed 40 years ago, and any farm tool processing factory can produce cheap old Foton civilian guns. After all, in the current situation, one hundred and eighty Fukuda can be used more than one Krupp Type 67 rifle shotgun barrel.

The old Futian shot from a distance of more than 80 meters, and under normal circumstances, it would only hit the naked people with bruised skin like soybeans shot from a children's slingshot. However, this kind of soybean pounced endlessly all over the field, and it was not something that the wood elves without armor and armor could withstand. The wooden elves with knives and guns who rushed to the front suddenly hit the "soybeans" that rained down from the sky, and they fell down one after another, and some of them cried and jumped to the west without falling down for a while, but the higher they jumped, the more they hit, and the people who were not charged by the guns behind them were squeezed forward, and the more they moved forward, the more they suffered. After a few rounds, most of the wood elves who were squeezed to the front had already passed out with their skin and flesh open, and they had to be dragged back by others. Although the number of the Wood Elf archery team behind them was large, they could not charge with bows and arrows, and the front team that had arrived at the battle line in advance shot two rounds of arrows at the Demon Swordsman Regiment from sixty meters away, and before the rear team could reach the ground, they hit the flying projectiles and quickly retreated, and their arrows shot at the front row of the Demon Swordsman Regiment, only making a ding-dong sound, unable to cause any damage. Seeing that the wood elves were so embarrassed in defeat, the soldiers of the Demon Swordsman Regiment couldn't help but laugh, and their spirits were lifted.

After being beaten by the black, the overall momentum of the wood elves was much more sluggish, and they were no longer as arrogant as when they first met. It turned out that most of the people who had been holding bows and arrows had put down their bows and arrows, and it seemed that some of the six gods had no masters, and they didn't know what to do next. Then I saw someone running to say something to the Feria soldiers, and it didn't take long for them to be cut in half by the Feria soldiers!

Jiang Xu was tired of seeing it, put down the binoculars and said to himself: "These poor guys, for some reason, listen to the words of the Feria soldiers, obviously there are dozens of times more than them. ”

"As long as my people are energetic, one can rival a hundred of them." Hong Wushuang sneered: "I've never heard of such an impatient race, it seems that it can't bear a little bloodshed and sacrifice." ”

After dark, the Wood Elves launched another attack on the Demon Swordsmen. However, this attack showed no sincerity - the night was not good for the primitive army, and any sound and fire in the night would have caused the primitive army to bombard the camp, not to mention the problems of poor communication during the attack. The Demon Swordsmen released a row of guns as usual, and the front row of the Wood Elves were shot and cried and ran around the large ranks, as if they were surrounded and slaughtered by more than 100,000 gunpowder gun troops, and quickly caused chaos in the whole army. At this time, the squad leader who commanded the shooting ran to Jiang Xu and reported: "Commander, we are running low on bullets, and we can shoot at most 200 rounds." ”

Jiang Xu was furious when he heard this: "Two hundred rounds? If you want to maintain enough deterrence, the slowest is fifteen minutes, have you been in a biased act of stealing bullets, stealing gunpowder, and grilling chicken wings? ”

"Commander, wronged, our shotguns themselves are used to make up for firing in battle, where did you bring so many bullets, and you want us to shoot desperately in the afternoon, so that they are scared......"

"Forget it, I won't mention the past, and I don't bother to investigate what favoritism you have - handle it internally, and everyone can write a review to me." Jiang Xu shirked all his responsibilities in one sentence: "I remember that each of you brought a lot of empty ammunition for warnings, use that one to hit first, and then talk about it after the fight." ”

"Commander, although there are a lot of empty cartridges, they don't have any lethality!"

"Stupid, do you think the current situation is enough for us to kill? If you keep accompaniing, they can trample themselves to death! ”

As soon as he sent away the bullets, the herald sent aerial photos of the stealth reconnaissance boat. The photo taken by the shimmer is still clear, and it can be seen from above that there is a large tree on the hillside where the Feria soldiers are located, and a wood elf is tied to it. The photo clearly shows the color of the bound Wood Elf's clothing, and it is obvious that the pattern is much more complex than that of ordinary Wood Elf. Judging from the thousands of years of human historical experience, this person must be the chief of this wood elf tribe. Knowing that these wood elves were enemies of him because the chief was restrained, Jiang Xu couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, and said to Hong Wushuang: "Sister Wushuang, there is nothing to fight in tonight's battle, let's go to bed early." Get a good night's sleep, recharge your energy, and start the battle to recapture the hostages tomorrow morning. After saving the chieftain, the wood elves naturally returned to their hearts. ”

Hong Wushuang didn't give him a good look: "Commander Jiang Xu, I've endured your verbal harassment for a long time along the way, dare to ask you what your intentions are?" ”

"Eh......" Jiang Xu's old face couldn't help but blush slightly, and said: "Brother just can't control his mouth, in fact, his character is extremely pure and honest." It's better than Yang Husheng's epimedium in the sea, sister, you don't have to worry too much about my slut. Of course......"

"Of course what?"

"I am only 30 years old now, and I have ascended to a military region-level post thanks to the favor of the general, and I am one of the few young people among the generals since the great era, and my future is probably immeasurable. Because he has been busy with his career for many years, there is no one around him, which is the identity of the fifth diamond king. If you don't mind, Sister Wushuang, we can try to start this shocking relationship. ”

"I heard Jing Wei say that the general is a guy full of nonsense, and it is true. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and the hand-selected forward commander has this quality, and he himself has only a worse share. Hong Wushuang pursed his lips and said, "Uncle, I'm only twenty years old, and even if no one wants it for a while, I won't look for an Ou Jisan like you." Besides, I'm preparing to take the seventh level exam, and I don't know when I will reach the saint general level. Even if an ordinary person like you becomes a general and marshal, it is nothing in my eyes, so it is better to save your worries. ”

Jiang Xu had a very thick skin, and at this time, he had already received the last touch of red under the few subcutaneous fat, and said without blinking his eyes: "The young sister only knows how to fight bravely and greedily for new excitement all day long, and she doesn't know the good of old men, so it is inevitable that she will not know the goodness of old men." However, Uncle Jiang's arms are always open to you, and if you suddenly figure it out, you are welcome to come back. ”

"Thanks, no."

"It doesn't matter if you use it or not, Uncle Jiang will always be open for you." Jiang Xu was about to end the conversation: "It's not early, go back to sleep, and agree on a rescue plan tomorrow morning." ”

"Why tomorrow morning? Now is the opportunity. Hong Wushuang stood up and shouted outside the tent: "Gather two hundred people, let's assault!" ”

Before Jiang Xu could react, Hong Wushuang had already gathered his men and horses to storm out. He wasn't worried about the safety of Hong Wushuang, an extremely strong woman, but he repeatedly recalled the scene he was in along the way, and suddenly felt that in addition to being helpless and funny, he also had some aftertaste. If this battle ends here, the days when the two are not in the same army and fight side by side all day will come to an end, which is a pity!

The army of Wood Elves had been completely disorganized in the darkness of the night. Although tens of thousands of people were separated by the small hill where the Demon Swordsman and the Feria's soldiers were, Hong Wushuang and the others went straight into the realm of no one. Occasionally, some of them ran around or shot some cold arrows at them, and the captain of the squad on the side used a shotgun to put a few empty rounds mixed with real bullets and beat them all over the face, whether they were shot or not, as long as the gun sounded, they ran faster than rabbits. In less than a quarter of an hour, Hong Wushuang led people to the bottom of the small hill. The swordsmen drew their swords to fight the Feria soldiers, and she rushed in to kill the dozen or so Feria soldiers in the core, and rescued the patriarch of the Wood Elves. As for the trivial matters such as bothering to tell the patriarch about his intentions, and waiting for him to send people to collect the chaotic army of the wood elves, he did not need to mention it too much.

After the night, Jiang Xu, who slept until he woke up naturally, walked out of the tent with great energy, only to see the sun shining in front of him, and the countless giant trees and rainforests that were hideous and terrifying in all directions before last night were all gone, leaving only an endless verdant green river. Occasionally, there are some woods, which are dotted like patterns on a green carpet. It's just that these people who have been trapped in the rainforest for many days don't feel the beauty in it. Jiang Xu watched for a long time like a countryman entering the city, and then called up the aerial photos taken by the reconnaissance boat that routinely passed by in the early morning, and finally confirmed that this was not his illusion. The treacherous mountains and forests of Nagano Island turned into a Shangri-La on Nebuchu overnight! Although the final blow that caused this result was not completed by himself, after all, he was a leader, and he could brazenly get a laurel in the category of "Founder of Nebuchu Eden", and many days of hard work were not in vain. In a stirring mood, I cruised around for a while, taking in the beautiful scenery. As he walked, he suddenly met Hong Wushuang, who was returning to the camp, and hurriedly stopped him and asked, "What's the matter, is there nothing I can do anymore?" ”

Rainbow Wushuang yawned and said, "They have opened up the rainforest, promised to cooperate fully with us, and will introduce us to other Wood Elf races. However, many of the generals' specific policies are not very clear, and you have to talk to them one by one, and this matter is left to you. ”

"Oh, oh, that's not difficult, Uncle did it for you. Anyway, our conditions are very good, and I don't believe that they won't agree. Was the night hard? ”

"It's okay, it's much easier than killing Coulson." Hong Wushuang walked a few steps, suddenly turned around and smiled and said, "I looked at the chief of the wood elves, Yuyue, but she is a beauty, uncle, you might as well talk about her feelings while talking about study, politics, and righteousness." ”

"Excuse me, sister, you're laughing at your uncle." Jiang Xu smiled bitterly: "As the commander of the first army, Uncle also inquired about relevant information before he came. Elves have no gender and are bred from the tree of life. Although he has a relatively high intelligence and an appearance close to that of a human, he is a genderless xenomorph creature after all, and his uncle is not in a hurry to that extent. ”

"Haha, it's all pretty things now!" Hong Wushuang laughed loudly: "No wonder she said that this is a 'good place for men', I understand!" ”
