Chapter 393: Night Attack
In the rainforest, a team of Great Chu soldiers finally waited for the order to rest, but this team of Chu soldiers was a little strange, although it was a Great Chu soldier armor, it looked very messy, there were the uniforms of the Nanzhang Army, and the armor of the private army, with a horizontal knife tied around the waist, holding a spear, and carrying a long strip of things wrapped in linen on their backs, and they couldn't see what it was from a distance.
In addition to the weapons, everyone carried a huge marching bag, which by this time was mostly shriveled, and there was obviously not much in it.
Take off the kettle on their waists, the soldiers drink water silently, gnaw on dry food, a team of soldiers into the forest rain, pick melons and fruits, and distribute them to every soldier, the whole team is black and pressing, but no one speaks, quiet and scary.
The general, dressed in Mingguang armor, drank half a pot of water fiercely, took a piece of fruit, and looked at the map while eating, several counselors took out their tools, measured the map on the map, and after a few minutes, marked the location on the map and handed it to the general.
"Two hundred miles, finally arrived. The general at the head sighed lightly, how difficult it has been along the way, only after experience can you know.
Before entering the rainforest, the march all the way was terrifying, as the most elite 10,000 troops under Princess Jiya, they were not afraid to fight head-on with the Chu army, even if they were one to ten, they also had the confidence to win, but Princess Jiya's strategy really made people feel bottomless.
For more than 6,000 miles, they walked for two months, which is already the limit speed. Especially when I met head-on with the Da Chu reinforcements a few times, I felt that I couldn't wait to pull out my knife and rush forward, and I was afraid that those subordinates who killed the red eyes would make inappropriate moves.
Fortunately, the Southern Theater is in chaos right now, and it is said that the new commander of the Southern Theater has just taken office. The source of troops in the southern theater is chaotic, there are local private troops, the Southern Army Corps, the Jiuquan Army Corps, plus the government armies in various places, there are more than a dozen of them under the big banners alone, and the banners below are even more chaotic, there are thousands, and no one can figure out which side of the people is at all.
The camouflaged army under his command had more than a dozen flags, including the Southern Army, the Private Army, and the Government Army, carrying stretchers, wrapped in bloody gauze, and untidy in armor, looking like defeated soldiers withdrawn from the front line.
The skin on the body has been painted with the pigment of a substance, and even if you look at it closely, as long as it is not long, it is difficult to see the flaws.
It wasn't until they entered the rainforest that everyone breathed a sigh of relief and accelerated their march. But there's no road in this damn rainforest.
Of course, it can't be said that there is no road, but only a few roads, they don't dare to go at all, in order to save time, as far as possible to walk in a straight line, the toast encountered along the way, can go around it, it really can't work, they can only kill it all, as far as possible without leaving a living mouth.
"Time. ”
"General, two days ahead. ”
"Well, rest for six hours, the old rule, no fire. ”
"Yes. ”
"General, the outpost has found an airship, and the air defense order has been passed down. ”
"Let's go. ”
The closer he was to Shengong City, the more often he spotted the airship, and in order not to be discovered, he marched at night these days, resting most of the day, and even so, he was still worried about revealing his whereabouts.
A net of camouflage woven from branches and leaves was draped over the horses, and all the soldiers fell to the ground, drinking water and eating dry food, while looking up at the sky, and another group of airships flew by, several of them seemed to have discovered something, and remained in the sky for a quarter of an hour, until they flew away, and the soldiers remained motionless until they were given orders.
After a while, two more airships flew over, spun around, found nothing, and flew away again.
After resting for two hours, without waiting for the airship bombardment of the Chu people, General Mai, who led the team, was relieved, it seems that so far, Shengong City has not found this ambush.
Until dark, the team continued to advance, and the sentry went fifty miles forward, a force of 10,000 people, and there were as many as 800 sentry released by Mai.
In the early hours of the morning, Renault was still writing a new project book, and in the past few years, the ability of the experimental group has improved a lot, coupled with the addition of Luo Ning, the experimental group has changed from a lone show to a blossoming flower, and new achievements have been released from time to time.
With the acceleration of the research progress, Renault's requirements are getting higher and higher, more than 100 research groups, 90% of the topics are proposed by Renault, plus the production expansion of each workshop, tasks, and according to different needs, change the production plan, and adjust the production process accordingly.
Not only these, but also to take care of the military academy, technical school, and the new army training of the desert legion, Renault was so busy that if it weren't for the physical support of the grandmaster, he suspected that he would have died of exhaustion two years ago.
"Bang bang ......" There was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance, and Renault stopped his pen, stood up, walked to the window, and looked out.
"Bang bang ......" gunfire is more intense, and it comes from different positions.
"Sir, a foreign enemy has invaded. Huya rushed into the room and said, and at the same moment, a terrible and piercing alarm sounded.
In the dark of night, the sirens were heard for dozens of miles, and even the camps in the rainforest could be heard clearly.
"Well, just go according to the plan. "Renault doesn't have to give orders. When the Shengong City was first built, he knew that it would inevitably become a key attack area for the Austrians.
As the scale of Shengong City continues to grow, it is necessary to find time every month to train for more than a dozen contingencies such as invasion, frontal combat, and agent sabotage.
There are many exercises, and even if there is some confusion at the beginning, it will not be long before everyone remembers the content of the exercises.
Near Shengong City, the total number of troops plus artisan coolies exceeded 500,000, and it was useless to have fewer people coming.
As for the large number of people, how is it possible? Are you blind in all the airships that day?
In a frontal battle, Renault was the least afraid, and before the Austrians had a comprehensive advantage in Dachu, they simply couldn't draw enough troops to attack Shengong City.
With the 100,000 people of the Desert Legion as the main force, plus 1,500 cadets and 200,000 coolies with basic military training, even in the face of 300,000 to 500,000 Austrian regular troops, the defense is no problem.
"Sir, according to the rules, you are to enter the secret room. Huya reminded.
"Well, let's go. Renault nodded, and under the protection of Gong Churui and Li Si, he opened the iron gate on the ground and entered the underground passage. Li Si walked last, waited for everyone to enter the passage, and with both arms, he covered the half-foot-thick alloy iron gate, and turned the iron wheel to lock the iron gate.
Walking out of thirty meters, there was another alloy iron door, half a meter thick and weighing tens of thousands of catties, Li Si and Gong Churui worked together to barely push it open, everyone entered, and then closed the iron door, and opened the mechanism from the inside, even if it had ten times the strength, it was difficult to open.
There are 10 underground passages like this one. After ten security gates, it is a small war-ready dungeon, with hundreds of rooms, 30 spare telephone lines, radios and other communication equipment, to ensure that 1,000 people live for three years of food, water is not prepared, there is an underground river here, is living water.
In addition, in the war preparation dungeon, there are eight passages, which can be directly connected to the underground world, which is Renault's last means of survival, as long as he enters the underground world, in the intricate underground world, there is no God of Wealth to guide the way, even if it is an earth immortal, don't want to find him.
The combat readiness duty room has been fully activated, and Chai Jun is in charge, seeing Renault clenching his fists and saluting, this is also the request of Mr., on the battlefield, there is no effort to pay attention to etiquette.
"How's it going?" asked Renault.
"At present, there are 3,000 Austrian troops, all musketeers, the outer city of Shengong City has begun to erect walls, military academies and desert regiments have sent troops according to the plan, and all blast furnaces and workshops have closed their doors and are forbidden to go out. Chai Jun said that it had only been a quarter of an hour since he was attacked, and there was not much information to give back.
"It's pretty impressive. Renault smiled and said, he guessed that the Austrian army must be more than just these people, is it 10,000 or 20,000? More is impossible, it is not easy to sneak in the rainforest, the five hundred miles around Shengong City are all the defense circle of the air force, if you want to hide from the eyes of the air force, you can only march at night, and the number of people cannot be too many.
"Sir, the Shengong Mansion is under attack, first-level high-energy, super-level combat readiness. One of the correspondents stood up and shouted loudly, his face flushed.
When the correspondent receives the information, it should be handed over to the direct superior to deal with it, and there is only one situation in which he will directly shout loudly, that is, the Shengong Mansion has been attacked.
The Shengong Mansion is Renault's residence and the command center of the Shengong City, where 3,000 desert legions, Shengong troops and cadets are guarded all year round.
The first-level high-energy refers to the natural earth immortal, and the super-level combat readiness refers to the goal of Mr. Together, these two items are to confirm that the enemy has an earth immortal and wants to assassinate Mr., which is the highest level of combat readiness in Shengong City.
"How many blast furnaces can work now?" Chai Jun asked with a blue face, Renault knew very well that if the Aoren wanted to deal with him, they would inevitably send out earth immortals, so there were a lot of tricks in this underground battle preparation city.
"Sixteen, ready to be used at any time. Immediately a staff officer replied.
"Turn on poisonous smoke, mist, rain of arrows, fire oil, falling rocks, and thunderwood. Chai Jun said.
The entrance to the tunnel in the Shengong Mansion is very hidden, but it is definitely not difficult to defeat the earth immortals, and at most it can only delay some time. Similarly, the ten iron gates may not be able to block the earth immortals, but between these ten iron gates, countless tricks can be played.
If the Ao Ren Di Immortal doesn't go through the iron gate, it doesn't matter, there are countless mechanisms waiting for him under the ground around the passage.
Bingqi coughed lightly and walked into the Shengong Mansion, followed by Tai Zheng and Yin Qi, two earth immortals, they also had injuries on their bodies, but the injuries were not serious, and after a period of recovery, they were already able to shoot.
Outside the Shengong Mansion, the gunfire was like a raging bean, and the three thousand Chu troops fought to the death and did not retreat, which made the soldiers frown, these Chu people were much more difficult than imagined.
When they first arrived here, Tai Zheng and Yin Qi attacked at the same time, killing the senior officers among the three thousand people, plus the impact of the two thousand Austrian troops, there was no rout, which was much stronger than the regular army of Da Chu encountered in Wuyang Mansion.
