Chapter 16: The Crocodiles Attack
Zhang Sheng never expected that before he received the news of the rebels, the crocodiles in Jiaolong Lake attacked him first.
There are four watchtowers in the farmland area on the shore of Jiaolong Lake to ensure that crocodiles can be spotted as soon as they come ashore, so as to avoid disturbing farmers and destroying crops as much as possible.
Zhang Sheng, who was sleeping, was awakened by the sound of the warning horn, and without thinking about it, he immediately rushed to the barracks, and joined Qin Liangyu, who had already completed the army, and went all the way to the east.
When the group arrived at the farmland area, they were really frightened by the scene in front of them.
Flocks of crocodiles have crawled over paddy fields, large areas of rice have been overwhelmed, the sky is just bright, the field of vision is limited, it is impossible to estimate the number of crocodiles for a while, only to feel densely packed with a large area, absolutely more than a thousand.
For the lord of the expeditionary force, monster sieges are commonplace, and the novice protection period is fine, at most it is sporadic monster attacks, and once the protection period expires, there may be a beast tide at any time.
"I'm afraid most of this season's rice is wasted." Zhang Sheng's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he still suffered a loss of inexperience.
After all, I didn't be a lord in my previous life, even if I saw a lot of posts on the forum, but I didn't experience it personally, and after a long time, there was only one impression left. Fortunately, there is not much problem, if there is not enough rice, then eat more meat, as well as corn, sweet potatoes, and the grain in the resource package, which can be supported.
"Array!"
Qin Liangyu was in front with a horizontal spear, a hundred white pole soldiers with three hundred reservists lined up on both sides, and Zhang Sheng was in the rear with a hundred longbow soldiers. However, unless you shoot a vital point such as the eye or mouth, you will not break the defense in other positions, and with the archery skills of a longbowman, you can only focus on participation, and you should not hit your comrades.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the crocodile in front had already pounced fiercely, and the battle instantly entered the white heat.
The soldiers of Jiaolong Village train by the lake every day, and they have long been accustomed to hunting crocodiles, even if the scale of crocodiles is unprecedented at the moment, it has not caused any impact on them.
After all, the beast is not a large army, and the number does not represent the combat effectiveness, with the orderly cooperation of the soldiers, a crocodile corpse soon pounced in front of him, and the strong smell of blood further stimulated the crocodile group.
Combat is the fastest training method, and in the fighting, there are constantly reserves transformed into formal white soldiers. Zhang Sheng's side is difficult, he does not have the support of Qin Liangyu's luxurious template, so he can only further improve the archery hit, grind time, and win the game.
The characteristics of the White Pole Soldiers' [Bloody Battle] are stacked, and the overall combat effectiveness has increased by 50%, plus Qin Liangyu's commander bonus, they are enough to wrestle with the eighth-order soldiers! If they are in the water, these crocodiles can also pose a certain threat to the white pole soldiers, and when they come ashore, they are lambs to the slaughter.
As the so-called blessings and misfortunes lurk, misfortunes and blessings rely on, the harvest of this wave of crocodiles is enough to make Jiaolong Village burst.
At this moment, a unique sense of depression permeated the battlefield, Zhang Sheng's heart sank, and he looked around, he knew too well what this sense of depression represented, this is the power derived from high force, which will suppress the enemy's combat effectiveness.
Qin Liangyu is also looking for it, in the final analysis, she is not a fierce general who is good at force, and a commanding general is easy to be killed in seconds when she encounters a high-force fierce general before she has enough troops.
In the Great Wilderness under the background of aura, the combat power of the top generals is enough to make people doubt life, the beast is not better than the fierce general, the strong is stronger, but there will be no [title], otherwise the effect of the power will be stronger.
Command, force, intelligence, politics, each of the four famous general attributes will have a corresponding special ability when it reaches a high level, [force] is derived from power, and [command] is derived from the integration of the power of the army. However, this requires a famous general attribute of more than ninety, that is, at least to get the title of "first-class".
The main power is weakened, weakens the morale of the enemy, weakens the overall combat effectiveness, and makes the enemy fearful, so as to achieve the purpose of further highlighting the personal combat power of the general. The power of the army is to unify the will of the soldiers, use the will to attract morale and then integrate the aura to form a huge force, which can be used to counteract non-physical strikes, suppress a certain area or special individual on the battlefield, assist in the operation of military formations, form a large-scale army attack, or strengthen itself.
In addition, there is a prerequisite for the commander to unify the strength of the army, that is, the number of soldiers under his command has a certain size, the lower limit is 3,000 people, and the minimum staffing of a legion is required. But at the moment, Jiaolong Village is a reserve with a total of only 500 troops, and even the total population of the territory has not reached 3,000!
Zhang Sheng finally found his target, a dark red scale armor that was more than three feet long, and the hideous fangs seemed to flicker in the skylight. Unlike other creatures that crawl close to the ground, its stubby limbs seem to be trampling on the thick of water, and although it does not fly high, it does fly.
Different from the twin wolf kings encountered in the mountains before, the twin wolf kings are promoted through the particularity of their talents, and even if they succeed, their combat power is only the floor tiles of the internal qi separation body, while the blood crocodile is really killed by strength, and the two are not the same.
After determining the target, Qin Liangyu immediately took two steps back, and at the same time took off the meteor bow behind him, and raised his hand to see an arrow, and the arrow with the power of [Falling Star] slashed through the slightly dim sky.
The blood crocodile with internal qi separated from the body is killed in front of it, it is a catastrophe for the soldiers, it must be restricted, or simply led away, and the only one in the entire Jiaolong Village who can come forward is Qin Liangyu.
The arrow with the power of [Falling Star] is too eye-catching, although it is fast, but it is not suitable for sneak attacks, the blood crocodile shook its head slightly, and the arrow that was originally aimed at the right eye was shot in the head, and the tip of the arrow broke through the scale armor, but failed to penetrate the skull, and the arrow fell off with a slight shake.
The blood crocodile squatted on its hind feet, and the mist under its feet rippled, and its huge body burst out.
Qin Liangyu stepped into the air, the white pole in his hand pierced directly, and the thick qi revealed from the tip of the spear for nearly two zhang, like a treasure spear across the sky.
Boom~~
The blood crocodile crashed into Qin Liangyu's outgoing qi, making a dull sound. Qin Liangyu, who had no focus point in the air, flew upside down for dozens of meters, but the blood crocodile only stopped suddenly, and pulled out a shallow scratch on his head.
Zhang Sheng also led the two longbowmen to start preparing at the first time.
The strength of the blood crocodile is far from being comparable to Qin Liangyu, and the resilience and resistance of the beasts are even more amazing, the only thing to be thankful for is that the beasts will only have [talents], not [titles] and [specialties], otherwise this blood crocodile alone will be enough to bulldoze Jiaolong Village.
The previous success made Zhang Sheng a little careless, the preparation here was not sufficient, Qin Liangyu was able to hold the blood crocodile for the time being, but it was definitely not too long, and he could only use the geographical advantage for now.
Zhang Sheng rushed to the nearest watchtower, where tung oil was stored to make torches.
The materials in "Journey to the Empire" are slightly different from reality, there is no coal, there is no oil, the core energy is [aura], and the sci-fi wind is sealed directly on the technology tree.
Tung oil is also different from reality, more flammable, anti-corrosion, impermeable, impermeable and other characteristics are still there, but the use needs to be more cautious, as a ship material is easy to be targeted by fire, but it is more suitable for making torches, rockets, fire oil to defend the city, etc., is the most commonly used military materials in the early stage.
Jiaolong Village does not have much tung oil stored at the moment, and the tung oil is just blooming at the moment, and it can only pick up the fruits that have fallen in previous years.
Zhang Sheng poured half of the tung oil stored in the watchtower onto the watchtower, and the other half was hung on staggered wooden frames. The paddy field area is very flat, and there is no need to rush to set traps temporarily, so you can only use the limited resources around you.
Everything is ready, light the reeds as a signal cigarette.
Qin Liangyu fought very hard, the blood crocodile rarely opened its mouth to bite, and more often used charging and tail strikes, unable to hit the vital point, even if it was full strength, it would break through the scale armor at most, and it could not hurt the inside at all. The white pole gun can use hammer strikes, but the force attached to the concussion cannot penetrate external defenses and directly hit the internal organs.
Seeing the billowing smoke, Qin Liangyu led the blood crocodile all the way over, and saw that Zhang Sheng had been pointing to the watchtower, she suddenly understood in her heart, and used the watchtower as a cover to launch a guerrilla. Qin Liangyu shuttled between the wooden frames like a spirit monkey, and with the body shape of a blood crocodile, he could only hit a wall everywhere, and he directly bumped into it in a fit of anger.
The left and right are just a pile of wooden shelves, which are nothing to the blood crocodile, and the wooden frame will be broken as soon as it hits, and the entire watchtower will collapse, and Qin Liangyu, who had been prepared, shot out quickly.
The blood crocodile was smashed to the ground by the collapsed watchtower, but in terms of injury, it was not serious, and with its exaggerated physique, it was able to recover quickly.
At the same time, dozens of rockets fell, and the wood drenched in tung oil instantly ignited a raging fire.
With a terrible roar, the blood crocodile buried under the chaotic wood flew up to the burning wood around its body, but all parts of its body were also drenched by the hanging tung oil when the watchtower collapsed, and it could not escape the fate of burning itself by sweeping away the chaotic wood.
Just when the blood crocodile roared in pain, Zhang Sheng took the opportunity to open his bow, and the burning rocket sank into the blood crocodile's mouth, Qin Liangyu also seized this opportunity, and the arrows with the power of [Falling Star] were arrow after arrow.
[System - Congratulations on successfully using the "Fire Attack" assist to shoot a crocodile with internal qi out of the body, rewarding +2 force and +2 intelligence.] 】
