Chapter 93: Blowing Up the Bridge
When the army fought along the way, thinking that it would be safe to reach the bridge, the facts in front of them gave everyone a blow in the face. The two roads and bridges side by side by the river are indeed still in the hands of the defenders, but it is not too peaceful and bug-free, and it is estimated that about 20,000 bugs are trying to cross the bridge, and there is a fierce battle with the defenders, and there is a steady stream of bugs appearing in the distance.
It seems that the first line of defense laid by Shangcheng along the railway was not successful, many bugs have bypassed, Ling Chen thought so, but he also saw several dark cracks nearby, and the bugs that kept appearing in them were also a reason why there were a lot of bugs in the vicinity.
Shangcheng is larger than S City, and they launched an attack in advance like Ling Chen, resulting in the swarm not forming a climate, and there is no overwhelming scene like S City. But this is only temporary, from all the insects that can be seen in the distance around here, the number should be more than seventy or eighty thousand, and there are still insects in the distance, I am afraid that this place will eventually be attacked by hundreds of thousands, or even more than 200,000 insects. And this is just one part of the Upper Town, and when you count the rest of the city, it's scary to think about the number of bugs.
Thousands of routs are firing fiercely behind the bugs at the moment, although there are almost no fortifications at this time, and it is likely to be tragic to be rushed by the bugs, but at least this will be a life, if not it will be surrounded by the surrounding bugs, it will be lifeless.
To help people to the end, Ling Chen chose one and rushed forward first, while not forgetting to summon several creatures to protect the soldiers on both sides.
With a strong vanguard in front of the way, all the soldiers' eyes lit up, the other party was the Awakened, maybe it could really succeed, after seeing the hope of life, everyone followed closely behind Ling Chen.
The number of insects gathered on this bridge is about two or three thousand, even if Ling Chen has to rely on two swords and one sword to kill it, it is not so easy, but with the spell card it is much easier, others can have one or two range spell cards are already very proud, each time you have to wait for several hours, here in Ling Chen, you can throw several cards at will, especially the narrow terrain of the bridge, the effect of killing insects is better.
A few cards stayed above the bridge in a zigzag shape, constantly hitting the swarm below, and the bugs were not stupid, they still had to escape from the area where they were hurting, so except for a few who started to attack before, most of them began to turn around and attack.
Ling Chen let the bugs escape, and now the most important thing is to clear the passage and let the soldiers pass, of course, if any bugs rush over, he will also kill them.
The bridge was soon empty, with several cards in the sky still casting spells, and a smooth area on the ground that was as smooth as a mirror. Although the card can be rewn back by the whip, the spell card in the release must be touched by your own hands before you can take back the sea of knowledge will interrupt the spell, but in this way you will also have to take a few hits. Ling Chen has so many cards, he is not bad for these five minutes, and when the power of the cards is over, he drops them down, and then he comes forward and puts them away one by one, seeing that the eyes of the soldiers around him are hot, and the look of envy is almost drooling.
Ling Chen thought about it and chose a few cards and handed them to the few people he rescued before, these people were on the front line, and with the cards, they could better play their due role.
"How does this work?" Several people were a little embarrassed to accept.
Ling Chen waved his hand and walked to the opposite side of the bridge first.
"Xiao You, if you don't want the spell card, why don't you give it to my brother?" Other soldiers next to him came over with a grin.
"Who said I don't want to!" The young man named Xiao You hurriedly put away the card, and several other soldiers also hurriedly put it away.
When a few thousand soldiers crossed the bridge, they were disappointed again.
There are bugs on this side of the bridge, too! It's just that there aren't as many as outside the bridge, but there are two or three hundred, and the soldiers also set up fortifications in the other direction of the bridge to stop the bugs.
"What's going on?" The commander of the rout approached the officer guarding the bridge and questioned him.
"It's not the incompetence of the soldiers guarding the dark rift that makes the bugs rush out. We were ordered by Commander Guo to defend the bridge here, and now that we are under attack, it is hard to imagine whether we will be alive in a few hours. ”
Listening to the officer's complaints, Ling Chen asked keenly, "Commander Guo?" Are you from the Upper City Military? ”
"yes!" Seeing how strong Ling Chen was before, even if his identity was unknown now, the officer didn't dare not answer.
"You seem to have a small army here, and it's a little difficult to hold here." Ling Chen looked at the defenders, and now he was fighting with the insects that rushed up again, but no matter how you look at the defense, they are very reluctant, if it weren't for the parallel double bridges in front of them, each of which is only about five meters wide, these defenders may not be able to hold it, and the defensive strength is obviously much worse than Ling Chen's defense.
However, the military strength of Shangcheng should not be like this, Ling Chen spoke again, "What about the other armies of your military, why are you the only ones who want people to guard the bridge?" ”
"Everyone else has their own defensive tasks, there are several bridges to defend, and we have a few thousand of them."
"What, you're defending several bridges at once! If the forces are so scattered, don't you know that the fewer the troops, the more difficult it is to defend, why not blow up a few and concentrate the superior forces? ”
Looking at the somewhat aggressive young man in front of him, the officer frowned, but seeing that the other party naturally asked this topic, he thought that his identity should not be low, and the other party didn't even know their agreement, so he thought it should be the new force, thinking that he continued to explain: "We also blew up a few very uncomfortable bridges, but other forces protested against us. Because in this way, we have fewer bridges to defend, and once the bugs attack, they will choose other directions, which will cause losses to their interests. Therefore, after negotiation, if Shangfeng wants to blow up the bridge, he must agree with several other parties in advance, because we have to disperse and defend several bridges at the same time. ”
“…… How many bridges do you have to defend? Ling Chen was speechless for a while and asked again.
"There are about seven of them, and the eighth is the joint defense of us and the army of Commander Chang." The officer said.
Seven-seater ...... Even if not every force of the six forces has to defend so many bridges, it will have to defend more than thirty, and no matter how strong the force is, it will be scattered...... The bridges that Ling Chen and they want to defend are not even as many as the bridges that Commander Guo's forces want to defend.
"Then why don't each faction blow up several at the same time?" Although it was already a fait accompli, Ling Chen couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know about this, I'm just a small officer, but listening to the tone revealed above, it seems that I am worried that if there are too many insects from the south and I want to retreat from the water, there will be too few bridges to move in time. You also know that it is the end of the world, and it is not easy to build a bridge, so you can not destroy it or try not to destroy it. In addition, if there are too many insects from the north, they will be scattered from each bridge, and each swarm will be relatively small, so it will be easier to deal with. "The officer said everything he heard about the wind, he can be responsible for defending a bridge, and his official position is not low.
Ling Chen was a little speechless when he heard this, why did he think about how to deal with the insects after they came in, instead of thinking more about keeping them out? It's a waste to put so many awakened people without it.
"I'm giving you a mission now, blow up one of these two bridges!" Ling Chen said solemnly.
The officer looked at Ling Chen with a strange expression when he heard this, he was Commander Guo's subordinate, he didn't need Ling Chen's order at all, and he didn't know who the other party was, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was very powerful, I was afraid that he would have been blown away.
"I know what you're thinking, I ordered you just to give you an excuse, and in the future, when Commander Guo asks you for guilt, you can push it on me." Ling Chen said and introduced his identity, "Since you already know that you are suffering from the enemy now and don't want to die, you will do as I say." Of course, you can refuse, I will turn around and leave now, but I don't care about the rest of the matter. ”
Hearing Ling Chen's self-introduction, the soldiers who accepted his card all kept looking at him excitedly, is this the big man above, I didn't expect to be able to get a gift from the big man today.
The officer only hesitated for a moment, after all, it was a matter of life and death, and finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll do what Commander Ling said, but Commander Guo really wants to blame it, you can't just let it go." ”
Ling Chen smiled and handed over the two cards: "Don't worry, I won't break my promise, you can save your life with the two cards here, if Commander Guo really doesn't spare you afterwards, you can go to me, welcome at any time." ”
The officer was overjoyed when he heard this, and subconsciously saluted: "I'm relieved to have your words." ”
Then he turned around and shouted, "Come on, collect the explosives, let's prepare to blow up the bridge." ”
