Chapter 187 Eternal Night Ranking
The attack of the dark army was extremely fierce, and according to the original plan, the fortress on the first line should hold on for at least a day, but under the onslaught of the dark army, it was only a few hours before it had to retreat in advance and retreat to the second line of defense. However www.biquge.info because of the existence of a thousand nights, this defensive battle far exceeded expectations in terms of the number of kills, especially the number of kills of high-ranking nobles with knighthoods, and the blow to the dark army was particularly painful.
The two fortress lines were not far away, and in silence, the high-speed warships soon arrived at the central fortress on the second line of defense, and put down the warriors and strong men who could still fight, and the ballistae that had been withdrawn from the previous fortress were also left here.
Originally, Song Zining should have retreated to the rear with the seriously wounded, but he strongly asked to stay, and served as the commander of the fortress guards. At present, this is not a good errand, according to the imperial military law, whoever sits in the position of the supreme commander of this entire fortress must hold on to the last until the retreat is allowed.
There are several major generals who are the same as Song Zining, but he is the only one who has the qualifications to serve under Zhang Boqian, and he grabbed this fiery position.
The last fortress was lost too quickly, and the retreat process was crisp and decisive enough, so when Qianye came here, Zhang Valve's army had just passed.
Standing on the wall of the fortress, Qianye watched Zhang Valve's army go away, suddenly sighed, and asked, "Can we win this battle of floating land?"
"Absolutely. Song Zining replied without hesitation.
"Why?" Qianye wasn't sure where Song Zining's confidence came from, at least so far, it was only a matter of time before the empire was completely defeated on the floating land, and the Song lord's territory was lost. And in outer space, it is only difficult to maintain, and the main fleet is said to have no difficulty in fighting the Eternal Night Fleet easily.
Can such a situation still be won?
Song Zining pointed to the top of his head and said, "This battle was planned by Lin Shuai, and Zhang Shuai was in the town, how could we lose?"
Qianye was a little stunned, and only said after a while: "I really didn't expect you to have so much confidence in them, this is considered a ...... Worship?"
Song Zining shrugged his shoulders and admitted calmly: "Sort of." ”
Qianye looked at Song Zining carefully, and couldn't believe that he would actually have a worship.
At this time, several groups of warriors left the fortress and began to bury something in the area outside the fortress. Qianye asked, "What are they burying?"
"Mines, I told them to bury them. ”
Thousand Nights was speechless, landmines, an ancient weapon with a history of thousands of years, could only be seen on the most remote and desolate continents such as Eternal Night, and they were still used on the edge battlefields. A single mine can't even seriously injure a high-ranking soldier, so it has long been eliminated by the Imperial army. Even if Song Zining was whimsical, where did he find so many mines?
Facing Qianye's question, Song Zining smiled slightly and said, "I see that you used the grenade well in the last battle, so you came up with such an arrangement temporarily, this can be regarded as a large mine." ”
Song Zining ordered someone to bring a box of so-called mines. To say that it is a mine is actually something made by tying a shell and a grenade together and adding a fuse. This thing is indeed quite powerful, and the warriors outside the city are buried densely, and one is buried every ten meters.
Song Zining returned the 'mine' to the soldier and said to Qianye: "Your method of throwing grenades is not something that anyone can use, at least not if you don't use it." So I came up with this stupid idea. Fortunately, Zhao Valve's preparation was indeed sufficient, and he even prepared a lot of things like grenades and shells, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I transported a whole boat over. ”
After seeing this mine, Qianye understood that Song Zining was following his method and first killing a large number of cannon fodder and low-level soldiers. If a high-level soldier accidentally falls within the core range of the explosion, it is equivalent to being directly hit by heavy artillery, and it is also possible to be seriously injured. This weeding tactic can highlight high-end enemies, and the damage rate will skyrocket.
At this moment, on the floating land, the army of darkness is like a tidal wave across the hills and valleys. The three fortresses on the front line were like three reefs, which were still washed away one by one in the surging torrent. The fortress where Qianye and Song Zining were stationed was the most stressed, but it was the last to be conquered, and the losses of the dark race in this fortress were greater than the other two fortresses combined.
After coming to the second-line fortress, Qianye only enjoyed a few hours of tranquility before the dark army attacked again.
The war was unusually hard, unprecedentedly hard.
With the will that Qianye exercised in Huangquan, he was also slightly shaken in the seemingly endless killing. Not long after the start of the Guard War, Thousand Nights was under siege, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of dark warriors. At this moment, killing has become a physical instinct, and Qianye's brain seems to have stopped thinking, and only relies on instinct to mechanically dodge, block, attack, and kill.
The battle seems to never end.
I don't know how long it took, but Qianye suddenly felt the pressure lessen, and the dark warriors around him became sparse in the blink of an eye. At this time, there was a roar of engines overhead, and he looked up and saw two long-lost Imperial warships hovering over the fortress, and the hatch in the belly of the ship slowly opened, throwing dozens of slings.
It was only then that Chiya reacted, and it was time to retreat again?
Looking around at this moment, the eyes are full of ruins, the buildings inside the fortress are almost destroyed, there are corpses everywhere, the dark race and the imperial warriors are mixed together, and there is no longer a difference between each other.
The battleship continued to suppress the dark race with heavy fire, and the surviving warriors quickly climbed up the sling and into the battleship. At the open hatch, a familiar figure appeared. Zhao Yuying squatted and knelt at the hatch, the hand cannon in her arms continued to roar, regardless of the force, and knocked the senior soldiers who missed the naval guns to the ground.
As the chief officer of the fortress, Song Zining was the last to board the ship according to the usual practice, but he was very difficult when he grabbed the sling, and the clean combat uniform that he had changed into was now a bloodstain, which seemed to have added a lot of new injuries.
Qianye is also moving closer to the battleship, killing the fish that slipped through the net along the way. He glanced at Song Zining, who was still struggling to climb, and couldn't help frowning.
If Qianye belongs to the Eternal Night camp, then Song Zining at this moment is the best target for sniping. As soon as this thought arose, a flash of light was seen in the corner of Qianye's eyes. In an instant, Qianye knew that it was a Force sniper bullet, a very powerful sniper bullet!
In an instant, the blood core in Qianye's chest was extremely inflated, and it contracted suddenly, and in the midst of violent fluctuations, a massive amount of blood and qi burst out all over the body, and surging power poured out from every subtlest corner of the body!
With a bang, the ground under Qianye's feet cracked and sank, and a huge shallow pit appeared in the blink of an eye, and Qianye had already risen into the air like a cannonball, shooting towards the turret, slamming into the turret, and then accelerating again, flying towards Song Zining in the air.
On the battleship, Zhao Yuying also saw the sniper bullet coming from a distance. She put down the hand cannon and reached out to grab the sling that was hanging Song Zining. But the sling was still some distance away from her, and it was too late to rescue her anyway.
At this moment, Song Zining had already sensed the danger of the attack from behind, but his whole body was weak, and he had done his best to be able to hang on the sling, and he was unable to dodge and block at all. At the time of life and death, he actually laughed and tried to raise his right hand, it seemed that he either wanted to say hello to Zhao Yuying, or to wipe the blood stains on his face, so that he could die a clean and decent death.
Time seems to freeze at this moment, and then suddenly accelerates back to normal.
Qianye suddenly appeared behind Song Zining, and the sniper bullet hit his vest directly, and collided with Song Zining under the huge thrust. Qianye grabbed the sling with one hand, and grabbed Song Zining who was knocked out with the other hand, and then shouted, suddenly exerted force, and rushed into the battleship cabin with Song Zining.
Zhao Yuying grabbed the hand cannon and fired several shots in the direction where the sniper catapult came from, suppressing the terrible sniper. The battleship had completed its rescue mission and quickly lifted into the air, the hatch slowly closed, and it turned around and went away.
In a rocky area outside the fortress, a mound of earth slowly arched, and then a Blood Count broke through the ground. He shook off the dirt and gravel on his body, looked at the battleship in the distance, and snorted, his eyes full of annoyance.
As a true superior, he has been ambushed on the battlefield since the beginning of the war, and has been holding back, for the sake of that excellent opportunity just now. But I didn't expect that the killing blow was destroyed by Qianye under impossible circumstances.
On the bounty ranking of the Eternal Night Council, among the younger generation of the empire, Song Zining's ranking is now only below Zhao Jundu, far higher than Qianye. In the eyes of those big figures in the parliament, Song Zining, who has good personal strength and shows extraordinary leadership talent at a young age, is far above Qianye. The Eternal Night Council doesn't want another Lin Xitang-like figure in the Empire in the future. Just one Lin Xitang has already made them suffer enough.
As for Qianye, although he was glorious in the bloody battle, in the evaluation of the upper echelons, the potential and resources were limited, and the bounties of many families were above Qianye, not to mention the up-and-coming princes and princesses in the imperial family.
This is a shot that has been gathering momentum for a long time, and it is also his unique ability. With such a powerful shot, he didn't have the strength to fight again for the next few days. Such a shot failed to hit the target, but it hit Qianye by mistake, so naturally he couldn't help but be annoyed. After all, Song Zining's reward was so rich that he was thrilled, and the harvest of killing Qianye was less than one-third of Song Zining's.
Just thinking of Qianye's demon-like intuition just now, the speed of lightning and thunder, he suddenly shuddered. Vaguely, he felt that it was not bad to be able to kill Qianye, and if he faced Qianye head-on on the battlefield, it was difficult to say who would win and who would lose. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold the group of wastes in the council office in his heart, Qianye's information was obviously wrong, and the reward given was too low.
