Chapter 110: Prisoner of War Camp

Jonny's night attack was directed at the 502nd Battalion and the Dai Fei Battalion behind the 501st Battalion, so the 501st Battalion's position had to be resolved quickly. Amid the roar of horses' hooves, the 501 Battalion's glow stick cordon was trampled to shreds, and about 300 cavalry rushed into the position of the 501 Battalion. Before nightfall, S Company also made a lot of preparations, such as laying some mines, setting up several crossfire points, all of which were M2HB.50 machine guns, and all the soldiers were resting in the foxholes with guns. But the thunder did not go off, and neither did the machine gun. Nearly 200 people from Q Company and S Company of the 501st Battalion were all captured within 15 minutes, and under Jonny's night vision, no one could even escape or hide in the dark.

As a fire support company, the Mango Company was a little far away, and after discovering that the cordon of S Company had been breached, the Mango Company fired more than a dozen flares into the sky, and the attacking enemy cavalry had nothing to hide under the flares, and a large area of cavalry was crowded on the defensive position of the 501st Battalion. Mark Commander, the commander of Mango Company, ordered the anti-tank team to be equipped with high-explosive warheads, while the 20mm cannon was ready to provide fire support to the battlefield, the mortar squad was responsible for blocking enemy reinforcements, the anti-materiel snipers approached to prepare for accurate fire, and the combat engineer squad acted as melee infantry, waiting for the opportunity to rescue the captured S and R companies.

The observation post of the Daifei battalion also discovered the night attack under the flares, and hurriedly informed the battalion commander and the artillery companies, and after a while, the 105 and 155 guns opened fire respectively, and a huge scream flew towards the undead cavalry who were rushing towards the whole group with death.

Half an hour forward, before Jonny set out, the fog that had been on the other side of the line drifted over and gradually enveloped the land, and a smile appeared in Jonny's eyes. The biggest difference between high-level undead knights and ordinary undead knights is that high-level undead knights are more human-like. They have evolved a higher level of intelligence, rather than relying solely on instinct to fight. At the same time, they also have richer feelings and thoughts. Among the high-ranking undead knights, there is no shortage of poets and writers, and some even learned simple magic and became magic knights.

In order to ensure the success of the battle, Jonny was not stupid enough to rush into the steel torrent formed by the machine gun cannon with his own flesh and blood, but chose to carry out a sneak attack at night when the firearms were most difficult to use. At the same time, he borrowed the Fog of War from the Holy Land, a gift of the Ghost Clan that can reduce the power of thermal weapons or even render them ineffective.

Before attacking the human position, a vague fog shrouded it, but only in a thin layer. Jonny had wanted to wait a little longer to make the fog thicker, but a knight's servant disrupted the plan. He was assigned to the scout group as a scout cavalryman, accidentally getting too close to the glowstick cordon and being seen by the sentries. The sentry only saw a little movement, and shouted a "password", if the sentry stopped moving, or quietly retreated, nothing would happen. But the idiot thought he had been discovered, and rushed to kill the sentry. but messed up the glow sticks hanging on the rope. This was now seen by all the awake humans, and the shouts of the camp had been heard throughout the human positions. Jonny cursed, and sent Hashi with his 300 cavalry to rush forward to eliminate the shouting humans as quickly as possible, preventing them from alerting the police, but then more than a dozen bright fireballs fell from the sky, illuminating the battlefield as bright as daytime.

Jonny knew something was wrong, and hurriedly urged the fog to cover up, and when the cannon in the distance of humanity fired, the fog finally completely covered the battlefield. At this moment, a huge iron spine fell from the sky, killing the two cavalrymen who were gathering, and the horses they stepped on were also smashed to pieces.

But this casualty was nothing to the prepared cavalry, and through the fog, Jonny saw the position of the Mango Company, which was already in full battle. The Mango Company was a fire support company of the 501 Battalion, with more than enough heavy machine guns and mortars, and even 20mm cannons and flamethrowers. In Jonny's opinion, although he didn't know these cold weapons, he also knew that they were much more difficult to deal with than the positions he had just captured.

"Don't attack. Jonny cried out, "When the fog covers them, it's time for them to give us their lives." ”

Hash stopped attacking, but the other knights weren't so obedient. Grab one more human captive and you can exchange it for 5 gold coins from Master Hash, which is really a fair price. Some knights also heard that the high-level knight magician captured from the empire was buying human captives, so they thought about not selling them to Hash for the time being, maybe the magic made your Excellency bid higher. So, in order to capture a few more prisoners, these undead knights rushed to the position of Mango Company with their cavalry. After all, they had just won a while, and these human soldiers acted weakly as if they were encouraging themselves. This is Nick's gift, don't be guilty.

Major Mark, the company commander of the Mango Company, was on the front line to direct the operation, and when he saw that his mortar shells and the heavy artillery of the Daifei battalion had not worked, he suddenly shouted in his heart. Suddenly, more than 150 enemy cavalry rushed out of the white fog ahead, and Mark shouted: "Fire! 20 guns, fire quickly." The 20mm machine gun gave a thump at the rushing cavalry, and the oncoming cavalry, even though they were wearing cuirasses, was also beaten backwards and fell to the ground with a thud. Although the cavalryman was seriously wounded, he was immortal, and struggled to get up, and suddenly found that he was still there except for the upper part of his chest, and the bottom was completely gone. He looked up at the battlefield, the lower half of his body still on the ownerless warhorse, and followed the other cavalry to continue to charge towards the human position.

Two 20mm cannons fired two rounds and repelled two strong attacks from the undead cavalry. Even if there were those that slipped through the net, they were broken into pieces by the concentrated fire of the .50 machine guns, and the prepared flamethrowers were not used. Mark ordered the mortar squad to abandon their weapons and retreat at full speed until the 502nd Battalion position, while the anti-materiel snipers retreated to a narrow rear junction and prepared to snipe enemy forces through the fire net.

Not only did Mark see the problem, but Colonel Barnett of the Princess Battalion also felt that something was wrong, and ordered the 105 guns to retreat 5 kilometers and the 155 guns to retreat 7.5 kilometers back and redeploy. At the same time, the firepower of the whole battalion should maintain a warning distance of 2,000 meters from the white fog.

Colonel Barnett's decision saved the Camp of Princess, who lost only half of its artillery and ammunition and suffered no casualties in this battle in which humanity was constantly losing out. However, this behavior was evaluated differently at the military headquarters, with positive comments that he saved the entire battalion, and negative comments that he did not inform other units of this warning distance, resulting in the total annihilation of the 501st and 502nd battalions, and less than 100 people escaped. From the perspective of hindsight, these people may be right, but on the battlefield at that time, Barnett was not an immortal, how did he know that he could play such a big role by just saying more than 2,000 meters? Even if he told Colonel Johnson or Colonel Anthony, they might not be willing to listen, and the 501st and 502nd battalions would still be lost in their hands.

But that's all for later.

At that time, when the Dai Fei battalion retreated, the 502nd battalion took the initiative to approach the 501st battalion and wanted to raid over to rescue the captured 501st battalion soldiers, but together with the soldiers who failed to withdraw from the Mango Company, the weapon was shrouded in a thick fog and lost its effectiveness. Only the mortar squad of the Mango Company retreated empty-handed and did not have the ability to fight, so it did not stop and escaped.

Two battalions of more than 1,000 human prisoners were sent to Lu Jingzhi, who was busy designing internal combustion engines and metal smelting equipment that could be powered by the elements, and it was no better for him to add more than 1,000 people. It's just that such a large number of people are together, and they definitely can't live in two or three barracks anymore, so Lu Jingzhi applied to Tilly to re-establish a prisoner of war camp for human habitation not far from the barracks. These humans, including Lu Jingzhi, were all captives of Tilly, the commander of the principality army, so they would voluntarily be under the supervision of the principality army.

The prisoner of war camp was built by the prisoners themselves, and with the quarrying spell and hydrated lime, it was no longer difficult to build a house. Lu Jingzhi also designed two foot cranes for them, made of ice fruit wood. Although the strength of ice fruit wood is far from that of real high-grade steel, it is easy to lift some large stones and move them around. In less than a week, a housing complex with enough housing for 2,000 people was built. Each house has a solid stone façade and a warm wooden lining, but the living conditions are not very good, and the wooden beds can only be covered with dry sunflower stems, which is a bit prickly to sleep. However, Lu Jingzhi thought of a way, he straightened out the grass stalks, broke them and dried them, and spread a few layers of thick paper on them, so that they would be much smoother when they slept. In these prisoner-of-war camps, toilets were even specially made. The undead are very afraid of human excrement, which is a bit similar to the Chinese legend that "ghosts are afraid of drowning things", in fact, the reason is very simple, the undead have no resistance in the body, and when they encounter some bacteria, even if they are beneficial, they can easily digest them and turn them into a huge bacterial culture medium. Therefore, Lu Jingzhi designed the toilet and sent people to concentrate on the feces, which was very appreciated by the undead.

Lu Jingzhi selected 200 highly educated people from more than 1,100 prisoners of war and asked them to help them draw pictures. Lu Jingzhi also broke down all the figures, let different people draw different parts, and then glued them together, so as to avoid the consumption caused by the complete spell contract taking effect in advance, and to avoid someone from using the spell to do something harmful to others. After all, Wilson, who had kidnapped him in the first place, was one of these people.

"If there is enough water, you can extinguish the fire, and if you have enough fire, you can dry the water. So, what if there are a lot of water elements and fire elements?" Lu Jingzhi asked Tangtang, "The person who answered the wrong answer will wash the dishes tonight. ”

"Yes...... Let's turn it into hot water. Tangtang guessed carefully, she remembered that she had boiled hot water for Lu Jingzhi, and when she heard him ask, she guessed randomly.

"That's right, so ......" Lu Jingzhi looked at Tangtang inspiringly, "what did you think of?"

Sugar Candy smiled, "I don't think I need to wash the dishes tonight." She won Lu Jing for a rare time, and she was very happy.

The two children couldn't stop laughing and joking with each other, Tangtang was thinking about going to wash the dishes for a while, and Lu Jingzhi was thinking about another thing.

What did Lu Jingzhi think? Will the undead continue to attack the human army? I want to know what will happen next, and see how it will be broken down next time.
