Chapter XXXV. Attack
"It's a thousand commanders!" shouted a 131st Company sentry.
His voice spread far away, and the soldiers who had set up a row of field tents along the wall as a temporary camp to rest got up from their beds and rushed to the wall.
Thousand Nights' pace was not very fast, running through the wasteland at a constant pace, he stopped in front of the town gate, looked up, waved his hand to stop the sentry from opening the door, and then jumped up the wall. The town's half-meter-thick composite steel door only opened a crack and slid back from the rails under the traction of the gear noose, and closed heavily.
Bao Zhengcheng was already standing by the town gate, and two huge humanoid spider demon heads were thrown down the wall and landed at his feet. Qianye jumped down and simply said, "I'm back." ”
Bao Zhengcheng nodded vigorously, strode over, and gave Qianye a heavy hug!
There was already a suspicious light in the eyes of this strong-maned bear-like man, and he rubbed his eyes in a panic, muttering, "Damn! The mountain wind is so strong tonight!" and then scratched his head and disguised: "Boss, what should we do now? Withdraw or fight here?"
Qianye smiled bitterly and said, "It's impossible to retreat." The earthen castle has been surrounded, and we have to hold on to it here, waiting for reinforcements. ”
"Encirclement?" The face of the battalion commander of the expeditionary force, who had been standing next to him, changed greatly, and his legs were obviously a little weak.
"That's right, I came all the way and saw more than five hundred regular warriors of the dark race, and there were about a few thousand cannon fodder-level warriors. Why, Major, are you going to retreat?" asked Chiya quietly.
Bao Zhengcheng's two thick eyebrows were tangled, and he subconsciously reached out to touch the short gun on his waist. If the dark army that only Qianye saw outside reached that scale, the so-called retreat would be to leave most of the people behind, and only the lieutenant and above would be able to escape. At present, the highest rank on the scene is this battalion commander, if he runs away, he doesn't have to fight the whole town.
The battalion commander's face turned pale, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "To withdraw now is to die." Defend it, I hope to hold out until reinforcements come. Those old men in the back, alas!"
Bao Zhengcheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't care about the old men in the back, first call everyone in the town who can hold a gun! There is still hope for a guard, otherwise everyone will die." ”
The battalion commander nodded and hurried away.
Bao Zhengcheng approached Qianye, who had a solemn face, and asked, "Boss, are there really so many black-blooded mongrels out there?"
Qianye smiled a little bitterly and said, "It's only a lot more than I said." ”
A cold light flashed in Bao Zhengcheng's eyes, and Zhengse said: "This scale can basically be confirmed to be the transfer of the group army of the dark race, if Xichang City really doesn't find it at all, once the defense node of the earth castle is broken, at least more than a hundred kilometers of defense line will be broken." ”
Qianye said lightly: "No matter how bastard the Imperial Military Intelligence Department is, I don't think they will make such a mistake. ”
The two looked at each other, and Bao Zhengcheng suddenly said, "It won't be Miss Qiqi's doing." ”
Qianye was slightly stunned.
"She won't use us as cannon fodder for the sake of the record. Miss Kiki doesn't seem to have a good temper, but she's not that kind of person. ”
Qianye looked at Bao Zhengcheng's sincere face, and didn't know whether he should nod or not.
He had indeed had such a suspicion at one moment, the size of the Dark Race Army Group, to say that the expeditionary military did not know anything about it, it was simply a joke. However, if there is a battle in the near future, all front-line teams should be notified to shrink their defensive lines, with the exception of the scheduled cannon fodder battalion, which will either know or confuse the first shot of the battle and then be consumed on the battlefield.
Cannon fodder tactics are something that neither humans nor the dark race can avoid.
But if it's not Kiki, there's something wrong with that division-level military intelligence map. The map was delivered with the munitions, the seal was intact, although the expeditionary force transportation channel was taken, but it was the officers of the Yin family who escorted it all the way, so who could do it under the noses of the expeditionary force and the Yin family at the same time?
Qianye suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who it is, we have to live first." As long as you can go back alive, you will always know the truth. ”
Bao Zhengcheng nodded. He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly shouted, "Boss!"
"How?"
"If you really can't hold on, you can withdraw first! The brothers will help you contain the enemy!" Bao Zhengcheng thought for a while, and said clumsily: "I really don't know if those wastes in Xichang City are not good, this is the transfer of the group army, and someone must go back to report the news." ”
Qianye ignored Bao Zhengcheng's clumsy excuse and frowned. He had never thought of even the slightest possibility of this, the Red Scorpion Military Regulations had always been the commander's decision.
Bao Zhengcheng grabbed Qianye's shoulder, shook it vigorously, and shouted in a deep voice: "Boss! Go back alive! If, I mean if, there is really a ...... behind it."
The identity of a soldier can't let him say more, but Qianye understands what he has to say. Looking at the bloodshot eyes of this bear-like man, Qianye nodded very slowly. This tiny movement is more difficult than enduring thirty-five rounds of Force tides.
In less than an hour, a piercing siren echoed over the town. Qianye and Bao Zhengcheng climbed the guard wall and looked out.
On the distant horizon, a black tide line appeared, slowly but surely surging in and in. That's the army of the dark race!
"Boss, I'll remember it later"
Qianye interrupted him and said categorically: "Let's fight first!"
The army of the Dark Race slowly approached, surrounding the earthen castle from all directions.
In the barracks, the battalion commander had already asked people to erect something that looked like an anti-aircraft machine gun, and with a crisp bang, a cloud of colored Force fireworks rose more than ten meters above the ground, condensing but not dispersing. "His grandmother's, I don't know how to leave us a few checkpoints with that group of black-blooded mongrels in the road!" the battalion commander scolded as he wiped his sweat.
Within a radius of more than ten kilometers, three or four people jumped out of the sentry posts in the guise of giant trees, and it was the first time in their lives that several sentries had seen such a number of enemy attacks reported by beacon fireworks. However, as soon as they came out of the checkpoint, they found themselves in a siege. Only the farthest spot happened to be empty, and several sentries began to run wildly towards the rear.
One of the Sentinels saw these sentinels and sent a small group of Blood warriors to intercept them, and the large force still headed for the earthen castle.
Half an hour later, a blood knight rushed back, knelt down in front of an old man of the blood clan, and said, "Your Excellency, your subordinates are incompetent and let a human escape. ”
"Escaped?" The Blood Baron's bright red eyes suddenly burst out with murderous aura, and he roared: "I can't let you catch a few reptiles, what use do I want you?"
The blood knight was in a cold sweat, kneeling on the ground, not daring to complain that the starting distance between the two sides was nearly twenty kilometers apart.
The old baron finally regained his anger and said coldly: "When the city is sieged later, you will be the first to rush in!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!" the blood knight agreed, and only then did he dare to stand up.
Thousands of warriors of the dark race approached the city, and the extraordinarily tall and hideous figures among them almost suffocated the expeditionary force guarding the city. It's rare to see a few of these high-level fighters in normal times, but now dozens of them have appeared at once!
Although they attacked only from three sides, leaving a door. However, as long as the warriors with a little common sense know that they must not abandon the city and flee as a last resort. There is still a chance of survival in defending the city, and they will definitely not be able to outrun the dark race in the wilderness.
In the distance, more dark races stood still, and this round of attacks was just a temptation for them. If the defenders are weak, a tentative attack can turn into a full-scale attack at any time.
As the dark race approached, the atmosphere gradually became oppressive, like the calm of an approaching storm.
Several flares suddenly shot out of the town, and Ran Ran flew into the air, sprinkling cold blue and white onto the battlefield. At the moment when the flare was raised, the high-ranking warriors of the dark race either closed their eyes, or a layer of black mist red light rose from their eyes, filtering the strong light. And many cannon fodder did not have this ability, and were stabbed in the eye by flares, causing chaos.
Powerful humanoid spider demons, werewolves, and blood clans have erupted in talent coercion and suppression, and even directly killed a few cannon fodder who have completely lost their minds to contain the chaos.
At this time, a muffled thunder broke the silence of the night, and a ball of light lit up on the commanding height of the guard wall sentry tower, pulling out a clear line of fire in the gray sky and shooting at a high-level werewolf!
This three-meter-tall sturdy werewolf was blasted upside down and flew out, blood gushing with minced flesh and internal organs on his chest spurting out several meters high! Even with the werewolf's terrifying resurrection ability, when he fell to the ground, he couldn't get up again. A horrific hole appeared in his chest, and almost all of his internal organs were shredded and charred.
Eagle Strike!
The roar of the Eagle Strike kicked off the battle.
The warriors of the Dark Race pounced on the town in droads, including giant spiders, wolves of all kinds, and thousands of blood slaves.
Unhurriedly, Chiya loaded another Force Bomb into Eagle Strike, this time aiming at a humanoid spider demon three hundred meters away. With the roar of the eagle's strike, a big hole suddenly appeared on the body of this fifth-level spider demon, and the entire upper body was almost folded in half in the middle!
By the time the eagle struck twice, the dark race had already surged under the wall and began to climb.
The giant spiders can climb directly onto the wall, and the wolves can directly step on the wall with the momentum of running at full speed, and climb the top of the ten-meter-high wall in a few vertical leaps.
Only the Blood Slaves could not afford to go directly to the city, so they pushed long ladders up to the guard wall, and then climbed all the way up, following the passage opened by the spider demons, the wolves, and the high-ranking warriors to the top of the wall.
Suddenly, he heard a bang, and Qianye, who was in the sentry tower, only felt that his feet were shaking violently, along with the entire guard wall. He looked out and saw several high-ranking werewolves wielding a weapon similar to a short-barreled cannon. With a flash of the Dark Force on the cannon, a metal cannonball will shoot out and bombard the town gate.
This city-breaking Force cannon is quite powerful, and it is considered a relatively common heavy weapon in tough battles. Qianye frowned, the other party is really part of the group army, otherwise in the state of regular preparation, it is all guerrilla warfare, who will take this heavy guy out.
