In General Val's opinion, the number of people in the M23 fortress is too small, and if more than 500 refugees were there before, there is still a glimmer of hope, because the standard number of this fortress is 300 people, and General Val arranged more than 500 refugees because there will be casualties in the process of recovering the fortress.

At present, there are only more than 100 refugees in the M23 fortress, which is simply not able to cope with the front that only 300 people can handle, not to mention, this more than 100 people are still untrained refugees.

Of course, not all of them were untrained, and General Vaal found that at least thirty of the refugees were skilled in the use of various weapons, and they knew how to work tactically with each other, and it was clear that they were retired soldiers.

But no matter what, Val was convinced that the fall of the M23 fortress was a matter of time.

At this moment, the situation has become more and more urgent, because a large number of ironclad cockroaches have surged under the steel city wall, and many ironclad cockroaches have begun to climb up in the form of stacking arhats.

At death's door!

At this time, the refugees of Fort M23 began to adjust their tactics, and they began to rely on the commanding heights to shoot the ironclad cockroaches in a targeted manner, mainly against the ironclad cockroaches that stacked Arhats, and let them collapse.

At the same time, refugees armed with overclocking blades began to appear on the city walls to join the battle, and whenever there was danger in the spot, they would rush to it as soon as possible.

The fighting is getting fiercer and fiercer.

Ironclad cockroaches began to climb the city walls, and when they climbed the walls, they were immediately ruthlessly hunted by the OC Blades, but there were so many of them that many of them still jumped into the yard and the refugees began to suffer casualties.

A fierce battle unfolded inside the courtyard.

It was only at this moment that General Vaal understood the meaning of those steel canopies.

The refugees in the courtyard are hiding under the steel canopy, so that the ironclad cockroach that jumps from the top of the city wall cannot attack them, and the height of the steel plate canopy is just lower than the height of the ironclad cockroach lifting the forelimbs of the sickle, and the attack method of the ironclad cockroach is mainly to chop from above to down, and after having the ironclad canopy, it effectively resists the close-range attack of the ironclad cockroach.

Under the cover of the iron plate canopy, the refugees in the courtyard are interspersed with each other in groups of three, this tactic is simple and effective, they are always moving, as long as the ironclad cockroach appears in the sky, immediately hide under the steel plate canopy, and wait for the ironclad cockroach to land before sneaking attack.

The battle was in full swing, and although a large number of ironclad cockroaches poured into the courtyard, they did not occupy the initiative from beginning to end, and even so, they could not assemble into an effective battle formation.

The killing at the sniper's vantage point was also extremely brutal, and the dense iron cockroaches climbed towards it, but the hedgehog-like iron pillars caused them great trouble, not only did they lose their speed advantage, but they could not climb up in an attacking position, because the hedgehog-like iron pillars forced them to expose their most vulnerable abdomen to the refugees.

The snipers didn't care about the endless stream of ironclad cockroaches that kept climbing up, they were still concentrating on shooting the tide of ironclad cockroaches in the distance, so that they could not be effectively assembled.

In the face of the ferocious lethality of the overclocking magnetic blade, the ironclad cockroaches that exposed their fragile abdomen were vulnerable to a blow, and they would be hit by the overclocking magnetic swing blade immediately when they climbed up, and then fell down like raindrops.

The falling ironclad cockroach caused a lot of trouble to the ironclad cockroach climbing below, and often an ironclad cockroach would fall down and smash a group of ironclad cockroaches......

……

More than a dozen snipers on the roof of the M23 fortress are providing fire support for several commanding heights in danger, of course, they have not forgotten the refugees who fought bloodily in the courtyard, once there is an irresistible situation, they will immediately strike remotely to reduce the pressure on the refugees in the courtyard.

Val had a look of surprise on his face.

Talented!

Definitely a military genius!

Vaal discovers that the seemingly chaotic battle is actually well organized, with each unit being an individual combat part, but in fact they are always echoing each other from afar, and if there is a crisis at one of the high grounds, fire from all sides will provide support.

It is clear that there is a military genius who is directing the battle, and his strategic layout and grasp of tactics have reached the pinnacle, and every detail is under his control.

Vaal found that even in this situation of manpower shortages and isolation, each unit was not alone, and they were always able to get fire support to save the day when they were in a desperate situation.

General Vaal believed that as soon as the ironclad cockroaches invaded the courtyard of Fort M23, the fortress would fall immediately, but things clearly did not go the way he imagined.

Throughout, the Ironclad Cockroaches have not organized an effective attack, they have lost their speed, and they are always unable to keep up with the follow-up units when they attack, because the snipers on the high ground will interrupt the Ironclad Cockroach's follow-up forces with precision strikes.

From beginning to end, the battle in the courtyard was in order.

The refugees have already suffered casualties, but the casualties have not affected their will to fight in the slightest, and they even have a substitute man, and when a certain squad has been fighting for too long, there will be a substitute squad to replace them to rest......

……

More than two hours have passed, and the battle at Fort M23 shows no signs of stopping, it is still in full swing, and the fighting of the refugees is not chaotic, all the battle combinations are in order, and each refugee seems to be calm and does not fall into hysterical madness.

Outside.

The ironclad cockroaches in the wilderness completely lost the advantage of speed, although they rushed to charge towards the M23 fortress, but the wire ropes pulled on the wasteland became their nightmares, and the result of their charge was that people turned on their backs, and some ironclad cockroaches were directly cut off by the wire rope in the face of the huge impact, which was miserable.

Four hours passed, and the fighting continued.

The refugees are still holding their ground.

Everyone knows that as long as they give in, they will immediately be overwhelmed by the ironclad cockroach, and there will not be even bones left.

In fact, at this moment, the refugees no longer have their own thinking, they are like killing machines carrying out Zhou Sen's orders, and they will do whatever Zhou Sen tells them to do.

If there were still refugees who doubted Zhou Sen's ability at the beginning, but now no one doubts, because they are still alive, in fact, when the ironclad cockroaches that are overwhelming the mountains and fields rush over, they think that they will not live long, but the fact is that they not only survived, but also killed the ironclad cockroaches.

Every refugee is convinced that as long as they persevere, victory will be theirs.

The refugees' efforts paid off, and in the fourth hour and a half, the ironclad cockroaches dropped thousands of corpses and retreated, coming and going faster.

For the ironclad cockroach, fortress M23 is invincible.

To the surprise of General Val, Fort M23 did not stop fighting because of the retreat of the ironclad cockroach army, in addition to constantly sniping and killing the lone ironclad cockroach at the commanding heights, they actually sent a team of twenty people to pursue the victory in the direction of the ironclad cockroach's retreat.

The refugees used the multi-purpose engineering vehicle, and 20 people drove the engineering vehicle to chase hundreds of thousands of ironclad cockroaches, and kept shooting the routed ironclad cockroaches.

Looking at the unbelievable scene in front of him, even the expression on the face of the well-informed General Vaal was petrified, this is incredible, if more than a hundred of them repelled the attack of more than 100,000 ironclad cockroaches and created a miracle, then now twenty people are driving a rudimentary engineering to chase down hundreds of thousands of ironclad cockroaches.

The unthinkable is happening.

Twenty people actually pursued seven kilometers away on the engineering vehicle, and the 100,000 ironclad giant cockroaches had been defeated, completely lost their fighting spirit, and fled frantically all the way, leaving countless corpses of the same kind.

The engineering vehicle pursued the wilderness for more than two hours before returning, and there were no casualties.

When the project returned, they immediately threw themselves into the intense reinforcement, they re-tied the wire ropes that had been destroyed by the ironclad cockroaches and threw some of the ironclad cockroaches' corpses into the antimatter incinerator.

It is worth mentioning here that now the antimatter incinerator has been popularized, especially in some planets where ironclad cockroaches are active, antimatter incinerators are a necessary strategic material, because it is a troublesome thing to dispose of a large number of ironclad cockroach corpses, and antimatter incinerators are undoubtedly a sharp weapon for dealing with ironclad cockroach corpses and war waste.

Of course, not all of the carcasses of the cockroach were disposed of, and the refugees took out the flesh from the cockroach's sickle-like pincers. At the beginning, Majiaxiang relied on the meat of the ironclad cockroach to survive the difficulties, and since then, humans have included the ironclad cockroach in the recipe, and there is even the meat of the ironclad cockroach in the barbecue stalls on many planets, and the price is very expensive.

In the wee hours of the morning, the refugees who had done all their work held a barbecue party in the courtyard to celebrate their victory, and the ingredients were the tender meat in the pincers of the ironclad cockroach, and the tender meat was as delicious as the hairy crabs of the ancient earth......

……

Zhou Sen did not attend the barbecue party, but stood at the window and watched the refugees reveling below.

Victory!

But the cost of this victory is very great.

One hundred and seventy-seven people.

Thirty-seven people were killed and nineteen were wounded.

That is, almost a third of the staff has been reduced. The only thing that made Zhou Sen happy was that none of the nineteen injured refugees were seriously injured, at least they didn't need to be cared for.

In the eyes of the outside world, this kind of high-intensity and high-intensity combat attrition of one-third is simply a big luck, after all, this is a war with no chance of winning at all, they are facing an army of more than 100,000 ironclad cockroaches, and the M23 fortress has created a miracle, not only repelling the ironclad cockroaches, but also less than one-third of the attrition, this record is enough to shock the five star fields.

However, this is not what Zhou Sen wants.

Zhou Sen doesn't want people to die, and if he can, it's best if no one dies. Hope is just hope after all, Zhou Sen knows very well that it is impossible not to die, he can only do as few dead as possible.

"Team leader, they are willing to spend a billion imperial coins." The communication expert with gauze wrapped around his arm walked down the aisle with an excited face.

"Tell them that we have just repelled the attack of 100,000 ironclad cockroaches, and we have 140 people, plus the pension of the 37 people who died just now, according to the commission of 100 million per person, we want 17.7 billion! If they agree, we'll leave for the city of Shari right away! Zhou Sen said.

"One hundred and seventy billion ......" the communications expert was so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, in his opinion, one billion imperial coins was already astronomical.

"Yes, not a single point is missing, ask now, I need to know the answer now! Okay, no, no, I don't like to bargain! Zhou Sen said word by word.

"Uh-huh, I'll go!" The communications expert had a feeling of blood boiling and ran away.

Three minutes later, the communications specialist returned.

"They promised, they promised!" The communications expert ran all the way and shouted all the way, and his face was so excited that he couldn't be more excited.

Zhou Sen nodded and didn't speak, all this was expected, because, the inhabitants of this planet are either rich or expensive, if there is a large group of people waiting for rescue, it should not be difficult to make a billion tens of billions, after all, life is more important than money. Of course, Zhou Sen didn't think about anyone's ability to pay at all, he just wanted to find an excuse to cover the sun.

Only by going to the city of Shari can he have a chance to leave this damn planet, and if he stays at Fort M23, it will mean that he will not be able to leave this planet for a short time.

"Team leader, go down and eat something, brothers want you to go!" The deputy leader walked in, his eyes filled with adoration. In fact, now not only the deputy team leader, but all the refugees are convinced by Zhou Sen, this young man's brain is like a supercomputer, and every detail will not be missed.

"Hmm. Let's go, let's go down! Zhou Sen nodded at the communication expert beside him, "By the way, deputy team leader, let all the brothers at the sentry come down to eat." ”

"Ah...... This ......"

"It's okay, everyone is tired, relax, it's okay."

"Okay then."

……

A few minutes later, all the snipers on duty at the vantage points came down, and the M23 fortress became an undefended military fortress, but everyone was not worried at all, because just a few hours ago, they had already killed the army of ironclad cockroaches and fled to the ground, and it was impossible to organize an effective attack in a short time.
