Chapter 271: The Game and the Dog Jumping Over the Wall
Twenty-seven versus five hundred, the first head-to-head battle came with a huge difference in numbers between the two sides.....
Screaming into the sky, barely an inch of skin was exposed under the metal armor, and the heavy figures of the Menghu species made the entire encounter area look like it was full of black-pressed war beasts;
They were heavily armoured and held large shields, the semi-automatic crossbows made by the patrons on the gauntlets were the long-range primary weapon, and the chain ball flicking on the proboscis was the medium-range secondary weapon;
As a result, the hammer ball fell from the sky, the arrows flew wildly in the air, and the Mengmu rushed and howled like a tidal wave, and with only five hundred in the rush, they created a sense of oppression far greater than that in the east, west, and south directions.....
But this momentum was as powerless as hitting a cotton ball in the time that followed;
At the attack level, for the elves who have turned on the totem protection, the medium and long-range attacks of the Menghu species are like scratching the itch through the boots, and only the chain ball causes limited interference in the combination of gravity and speed;
As for the action of 'rushing' itself, the elves who were too few chose to fight and retreat, maintaining a distance of 200 to 500 meters between the two sides, always sticking to them and following them closely, and repeatedly harvesting with wind blades in the next two or three kilometers of action......
In short, elves should never be close to each other unless necessary, as that would be too inefficient and prone to defensive holes and the failure of interceptions.
And when this combat concept is implemented, the Menghu species finally experience the embarrassment of being powerful and nowhere to go, and the embarrassment at other times may only cause embarrassment, but now this is the battlefield.....
The shouts were hoarse, but the endless cyan wind blades were roaring like a torrential rain, and there were constant sounds of large shields being broken and heavy armor shattering, followed by 'giant beasts' falling one after another on the way to run;
Their bodies fell to the ground, and their heavy helmets let out a heavy roar......
But the Menghu showed no fear, their eyes seemed to reveal a courage, even if there were constantly compatriots dying in pools of blood, the latecomers still continued to impact with bloody faces......
One-sided killings and one-sided roars resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the elves retreated in an orderly manner in the coldness and silence, maintaining the intensity of the attack in silence;
In the ensuing time, the opponent's breakthrough road almost became a desperate road with no return, and finally caused the 500 Menghu warriors to be wiped out;
On the elf side, even if you add the back road blockers who arrived in the process, the number has only reached 36.....
The charge ended, the howling of the wind blade finally stopped, and sporadic groans of pain floated up from the battlefield of flesh and blood, skulls and stumps soaked in blood, and unwilling souls seemed to roar in the hazy air;
This is a road of blood that is more than a kilometer long, with corpses all over the field, rivers of blood, and the bloody air wafting in the air is like the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield of later generations, and the substance is coated with layers of blood under its rendering;
In the red haze, there seemed to be a pair of blood-red eyes that were condensed with hideousness and hatred even in death.
"Replenish the gun."
Under the cold order, one by one the war machines drove into the hell on earth, they did not feel uncomfortable because of the bloody breath in the air, maybe they couldn't smell it, or they were accustomed to it, and they always carried out the orders given by the peak silently and coldly.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the front, and a strong man covered in blood threw himself from the pile of corpses......
γ
A wild roar of madness rang out from his throat, and the thick proboscis swung his warhammer and slammed it down on an armored warrior who happened to walk past him.....
Raise your arms to block, raise your gun to fight back, and then there is a 'whoosh' sound, and you can see a small firework exploding in front of you with debris accompanied by blood.
'Okay? β
'No problem. β
'Okay, go ahead and execute the order. β
'Understood. β
~~~~~
This was the last attempt of 034 City before nightfall, and for more than a dozen hours after that, no decent breakout was launched.
Time passed slowly, and at about 18 o'clock in the afternoon, all the supporters of the nine base stations finally arrived.....
At this time, the force that could be directly mobilized in Cynthia's hands rose to 232, including 78 combat armored soldiers and 123 reconnaissance armored soldiers, and the 67 hunting teams they mixed together were also the sharpest knives in the hands of the 'Nine Base Station Commanders' at this time;
Moreover, when the command base was also completed through the efforts of Agatha and three engineers, a unified and powerful surveillance system covering a radius of 2,000 kilometers was established;
Despite the delay due to distance, and even though Cynthia as a warrior could not fully play its full role, at least in the range of 300, 200, and 100 kilometers, any questionable upright unit would be mastered by her within 30, 20, and 10 lights, and then there would be nothing to hide from the pursuit of the armored hunting group;
Of course, 034 City, which is only ten kilometers away from the command base, is also completely included in the surveillance.....
"Agatha, can you make some heavy artillery?"
"You! All right.... I've worked hard, and if I had done it all by hand, I would have been able to make four doors by night. β
"Great! You're really good! β
"Hmph~ stupid, there are still cannonballs to make."
"The three gates?"
~~~~
20 o'clock on the day;
The Republic airship formation came to the airspace 2000 kilometers away from 034 City and officially entered the perception field of the command center.
22:30 on Sunday;
The reflection of the air signal signal of the airship formation at 2,000 kilometers was captured by the command center, but the formation continued to move forward and reached about 1,400 kilometers.
24 o'clock in the day, 0 o'clock in the night;
The formation is 1050 km away from this side.
1 p.m. - 2 p.m.;
The command center thwarted several attempts from the city, but the sporadic scale of each breakout also alarmed Cynthia, who believed that it was a tired ploy on the enemy's side, so she focused more on monitoring the city.
2 p.m. - 4 p.m.;
The two-light lull was only a faΓ§ade, and the city was disposing of weapons and rearmament, and it seemed that the largest breakout operation was about to be launched.
4 p.m.;
The preparations in the city seemed to be nearing completion, and they seemed to be really ready to concentrate all their forces and carry out a general breakthrough regardless of it;
In order to maintain a certain degree of mystery, the side has always maintained an ultra-long-distance blockade, which does delay the reaction of the other side, but also causes a relatively large defensive perimeter;
And now, facing 034 City, which is ready to 'fight', Cynthia has to be ordered to shrink inward.
As a result, 67 hunting teams began to advance in the direction of the city from an area ten kilometers away, in order to reduce the upward defensive pressure on all sides.
Nine kilometers .... Eight km ....
With the assistance of the Ancestral Altar, the high-level in 034 intuitively and for the first time for a long time perceived the enemy, and had a misunderstanding that the other party was about to attack, so they temporarily gave up the direct breakthrough and planned to rely on the altar to defend a wave first;
Seven kilometers... Five kilometers ... A kilometer...
The night gave the elves the best cover, and the armor on their bodies and even the outline of their bodies were obscured by darkness;
Under Cynthia's command, the Kill Group always controlled the speed of their movements, creating and maintaining deterrence while delaying as long as possible;
Cynthia knew that the longer the airship formation was rapidly approaching, the longer it dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for her side;
Comparatively speaking, the brainless charge of the enemy is full of the possibility of accidents.
4:25 p.m.;
The limit of the delay, the speed with which the hunting team closed the net, and the overly coincidental start time of the operation, made the high-level in 034, who was not actually stupid, but had an extremely unbalanced intelligence grasp, finally perceived the enemy's purpose;
As a result, the suspended breakout operation began again, but due to the need to rearrange and other reasons, it once again 'bought' some time for the elves' side.
around 4:30 p.m.;
When the hunting group had advanced to a kilometer outside the wall, the two city lords finally gave the order of 'general breakthrough' in frustration.
However, almost everything in the city was under Cynthia's 'sight', and she naturally noticed the movement in it at the first time;
Subsequently, with more mental betting, he further grasped the specific deployment of all parties, which led to the fact that there was almost no concealment in the troop movement of 034....
To the west, 300 foreign warriors and 3,000 foreign old and weak troops are multi-racial mixed troops;
To the east, 200 foreign warriors and 3,000 old and weak are also multiracial mixed formations;
To the south, 500 Mengqi species, 2,000 foreign warriors, and more than 10,000 old and weak children, from the perspective of scale, seem to be a large army responsible for confusing the public;
In the north, there are 3,500 Mengqi species and 5,000 foreign warriors, none of whom are old or weak;
What its soldiers are pointing at seems to be very clear......
As a result, Cynthia ordered the hunting party to reserve more forces to the north and south, and at the same time asked the fighters to compress the distance to 800 meters one last time, so as to continue to reduce the perimeter of the defense, so as to prevent the enemy from breaking through at this last moment.
4:33 p.m.;
The enemy went out of the city, and the arrangement in each direction did not change significantly in the few minutes that were there;
According to the feedback from the racial composition of the formation, the reserve force and other information, Cynthia once again confirmed its breakthrough strategy of 'north main and south auxiliary, east and west ecstasy', and thus officially ordered the hunting group that was moving slowly at half speed to carry out the previous preparatory transfer at full speed.
At this time, the circumference of the blockade circle has been reduced to 15 kilometers, and this distance is not at all the same thing in the face of the instantaneous breakthrough ability of the armored forces;
As a result, the halfway hunting teams were deployed in a very short period of time, even before the battle began.
On the northern front, 46 hunting teams were gathered in a short period of time, while on the southern route, the number of groups was maintained at 15, and on the eastern and western routes, it was reduced to only 3 groups each.
At the same time, since the mission of the early warning circle has ended, 28 scouts have also been dispatched;
They will provide long-range sustained fire support to armored units in the east-west direction to help them complete their mission as quickly as possible in their own direction, and then move to the south.
The time had come to 4:35 p.m., and the airship formation in the sky was only the last 60 kilometers away from 034 City, and it would take about 13 minutes to arrive, and it would take extra time to land, drop forces, etc.
~~~~~~
At this moment, the encirclement has been compressed to an area of about 800 meters outside the wall, and the prelude to the confrontation between the two sides also took place at this point in time.....
Bright light, extreme light shining from the altar to the north, and there were unknown disturbances, which also centered on it, fluctuating towards all areas within a three-kilometer radius;
Under the illumination of the former, the elves in the armor on the periphery of the northern city felt a tingling in their eyes;
In the unknown fluctuations that followed, not only was the stealth effect of all the armor of the four sides broken, but it was also mixed with the extremely complex weakening chaos magic effect;
At this time, the elves intuitively felt the weakening of the chaos spell on themselves, they were far from the physique of the high salamanders, and naturally they could not be exempted from this curse from the ancestral altar;
In addition, external armor is also a 'hostile force' and has the same biological properties, so it has also been affected in terms of material properties;
Fortunately, the totem function is no longer in the ranks of 'can be weakened', at least not in the weakened range of the Ancestral Altar's attack, so it does not directly lose its combat ability;
The effect of 'breaking the concealment' has nothing to do with the totem and is more caused by interference on the physical level.....
The rest aside, before the elves could get used to the 'blinding' and 'curse', hundreds of fireballs rose from the central altar;
Among them, the small half bombarded in the other three directions, and the other half had more than 200 fireballs, all of which flew towards the northern part of the city.
At present, although the elves have changed the external window to brown with the assistance of the plexus organs, the vision of the eyes has still been restored.....
The fireballs were unusually fast, and each one was about a meter in diameter;
They flew about 2.3 kilometers in the blink of an eye, roaring with gale winds, roaring at the 'point of impact', and creating huge craters with hot flames;
This is not the end, the fireball that completed the direct attack on the landing point burst out a large amount of grease from the inside and to the outer edge, and formed a strong high-temperature splash damage in the rectangular area of the fifteen-meter bottom edge and thirty meters long side in front of it, and by the way, it also expanded the flame coverage area to the extreme.
Before the elves could adjust to the bright light and their weakened bodies, they fell down with their heads and faces, drowning them all in the surprise of the breakers six or seven hundred meters away.
"Rush!
β
Excited birds rang out, and the five strongest warriors of the sheltered people, with 3,500 Mengqi as the core, picked up speed at this time, preparing to complete the breakthrough in one go.
~~~~~
In the area covered by the fireball attack, the elves, and their respective armor, were not damaged in the flames;
However, in order to pursue the maximum killing effect, those fireballs were deliberately guided by the altar and each other to create a high degree of overlap in the landing point, and thus produced a powerful shock wave;
Therefore, the elves have been blown up, and their heads are still groggy until now, if they continue like this, they may not have to worry about their lives, but the blockade mission is bound to fail.
Of course, the situation does not go that way, and the totem with the 'awakening' function kicks in in response to the stress and quickly awakens the driver's slightly drowsy brain;
Subsequently, the totem of breaking the negative effect was also turned on under the control of the plexus organs;
Whether it is weakened in strength or agility, when they don't know what kind of negative effects they have endured, how many negative effects they have suffered, the warriors choose to start all of them regardless of it, and adjust it to a cyclic opening mode;
Then, with the ease of fading the layers of heavy shells, they roughly regained their physical and armor material properties.
'Damn brute, it's going to be our turn now, right?' β
The direction where the 'Mengqi species' is located must be the main area of the breakthrough, so the receiving frequency band of the voice detection is fixed as the beating wave frequency range of its heart;
Then, according to the display of the 'radar' in their minds, the fighters reversed the direction of their weapons, and without waiting for the flames to be extinguished or rushed out immediately, they got up from the ground and immediately launched a counterattack......
The reconnaissance armor raised its left and right arms, and the assault barrel that completed the transformation from both sides continuously fired wind blades outward;
Combat armor is different.....
Instead of activating the 'machine gun' strafing pattern, they deformed two stubby nozzles on the left and right of the shoulder armor, forming an elevation angle diagonally forward, and then with the effect of the internal totem, a strange sphere was created inside;
In the mouth of the pipe, the orb emitted a dense 'wind sound' and was shot diagonally forward in a sharp whistling sound.....
After that, the totem in the empty nozzle was activated again, and a second offensive was brewed in less than three seconds.
~~~~~
Beyond the wall of flames, warriors of various races with hope in their eyes are advancing rapidly, but just when they have an optimistic attitude, there is a sudden change and an unexpected tragedy that follows.
'Whoosh!
οΌ
β
It was still a familiar sound, still the familiar rhythm, and countless blades of wind drilled out of the unquenched fire, forming a dense and terrifying barrage that caused the front, and even the rows of inward, breakers to fall in large swaths like harvested wheat;
The swarm blades of the wind briefly blew away the flames, and from the cracked gap, unscathed elven armored warriors paced out......
Seeing that the expected success did not happen, the eyes of the cowardly sheltered warriors showed disbelief;
They looked six hundred meters away, at what seemed to be purgatory, and the elves under the armor were like demons crawling out of them, and the fear in the hearts of the warriors was intense.
But before the fear had been brewing for long, one short whistling after another rose into the air, and in an instant it fell into the middle of the breakthrough force and exploded;
At the explosion point, countless fine wind blades spread outward rapidly, creating one empty space after another full of stumps and severed arms in the dense array.
Fear simmered, and the warriors at the front began to flee backwards, causing chaos further back in the rear.....
"Death to the fugitives!"
Angry shouts rang out from the Mengqi troops, and the overseers naturally made an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and in a short period of time, they used the loss of their crossbows and the power they had accumulated for a long time to contain this first wave of rout.
At this moment, there was movement again at the central altar, and when the elves looked vigilantly in that direction, they found that there were some special purple halos in the sky;
This time, the altar was no longer hidden, and the purple light of unknown effect only appeared rich on the north side....
'Maximum power to turn on the armor!' Circumvent it now! β
'Bang! ''Bang! ''Bang! β
When Cynthia's voice came from inside the armor, there was also a familiar roar from behind.... It seemed to be the sound of heavy artillery, and it seemed that the little witch doctor was not really idle after finishing the construction of the command center.
The enemy's attack was the first to succeed in its own heavy artillery, and it seemed to be a kind of 'light' of cohesion, and it had reached the point of attack almost at the moment of activation;
Although the 138 armored soldiers had activated the foot reaction chamber as quickly as possible, and completed the displacement in an instant, they were still patronized by 1-2 rays of light, and the attack occurred quickly and accurately, and none of them missed the target or missed.
The area where the armor was hit also formed a melting point with the thickness of a thumb and a depth of several centimeters in an instant;
From the perspective of its effect alone, if it is not for the totem to strengthen the protective performance, the strength of the material itself can hardly resist its penetration.
However, most of the rays were aimed at the forehead of the armor ....
'Fools! Move it! Get me moving! Is the output of the stake meant to be a target? Keep an irregular circumvention trajectory! β
Cynthia's annoyed voice came, and the three heavy cannons belonging to her own side also crossed an unknown distance of many kilometers and smashed into the altar in the city with great precision;
'Disturb the altar for now, and you will have a period of free time to attack, and I will remind you again when the shaman resets. β
'Understood! β
This gap lasted less than three seconds, and the enemy's large force also took advantage of this to move closer to more than ten meters, and there was still a gap of nearly six hundred meters between the two sides at this time.....
On the elven side, the armored warriors no longer stood on their stakes and began to move more flexibly, and the firepower that had been interrupted by the previous attack was renewed, and the lives were once again harvested;
On the side of the Menghu species, there were two emotions, the morale of the sheltered warriors increased slightly, but the Menghu warriors, who knew what the previous blow meant, had a deep sadness in their hearts......
The city's strongest means of attack had only achieved such a small effect, and they were no longer optimistic about the future of this trip;
Among them, there are also some high-ranking people who are skeptical of the order to break out of the city, and feel that it does not seem to be a good idea;
But as a strong clan known for their obedience and cohesion, they still instinctively carried out the breakthrough.
~~~~~~
At this time, the movement on the east and west sides had stopped with the victory of the elves, whether it was the cannon fodder warriors or the abandoned old and weak, the numerical advantage did not translate into victory, and most of them fell under the gun, and only a few staggered back to the city.
Just as the armored elves and unarmored scouts were preparing to support south, Cynthia's new order came....
She asked the unarmored soldiers to detour south for long-range support, while the armored warriors broke straight into the city and launched a sheep attack on the central altar;
The buffer speed of your heavy artillery is too slow, and the center altar is about to regain its containment ability, so it must be threatened by strength.
This was undoubtedly a dangerous mission, but there was no dissent among the executors, and they immediately complied with the order and began to rush in the direction of the city gates.
On the other side, the southern front entered the scorching field, but a few hunting groups still relied on strong firepower to hold on to their mission, and did not let go of any enemy individuals.
In the command center, Cynthia kept an eye on the battlefield while urging the only three heavy artillery pieces to complete the attack buffer as soon as possible, and at the same time kept an eye on the situation in the airspace and calculated the arrival time of the headquarters support.
At 4:39 p.m., from the beginning of the battle to the present, the time has only passed about three lights, and the airship formation is still about 45 kilometers and 10 lights away from 034 City.
