Chapter 258: Night Attack and Capture the City
This sudden attack also frightened these puppet soldiers who were completely unprepared for battle, and many puppet soldiers saw that a large number of friendly troops in front of them were killed and blown away, and hurriedly lay on the ground for fear that they would also be bombed, and they didn't care about fighting back or anything, and even many puppet soldiers still haven't figured out where those attacks came from! How can this be a counterattack!
"Wave the flag and shout!" At this time, Zhou Jiale ordered to a human survivor leader beside him.
As soon as the leader of the survivors received the order, he led his soldiers, got up one after another, and then waved and shouted in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road with the flags prepared in advance.
At this moment, those puppet soldiers knew where the enemy was, but looking at the banners all over the sky, they felt that they had been surrounded by a large army, and they were really flustered and helpless!
And soon Zhou Jiale and the others used magic energy machine guns, and the magic energy beams continuously fired by the magic energy assault rifle swept down the puppet soldiers below in pieces, so frightened that these guys completely lost their fighting spirit, and they left their baggage trucks and began to run away.
"It's so unbeaten, let's cease fire! Save bullets, swap into melee weapons, and go down and arrest people! Zhou Jiale was also a little surprised to see that the enemy was defeated so quickly, but he soon gave a new order.
So soon the airborne troops and those survivor soldiers under Zhou Jiale rushed down one after another, and began to round up the puppet soldiers who had completely lost their will to fight.
In the end, Zhou Jiale and they successfully caught more than 300 puppet soldiers, and more than 300 were killed, and the rest took advantage of the chaos to escape.
But the final harvest was also rich, those baggage carts carried a large number of weapons, armor and grain and grass, and the survivors who had not eaten for a long time saw the food on it, and many of them started eating directly.
And even if the weapons and armor on it are only half divided, there is still a lot of surplus when they are all armed! This huge harvest made the survivors cheer, and one by one they were as happy as the New Year.
For Zhou Jiale, this is just an ordinary ambush battle, so he doesn't have the base of those survivors, but sits indifferently on a baggage truck, eating a piece of military compressed biscuit he brought.
A survivor boy leaned over curiously at this time, pointed to the magic energy assault rifle in Zhou Jiale's hand and asked, "Brother, can this gun be used again?" ”
Zhou Jiale knew that the other party should be referring to those firearms made by humans on the Deep Blue Star, he shook his head and replied: "No, we are a magic weapon, it just looks like a gun, in fact, the operating principle is completely different from that of firearms, this is still the technology we seized from the demon!" ”
Hearing Zhou Jiale's answer, the young man felt a little disappointed, after all, for the dark blue star people who have generally been educated for several years, it is still very easy to make some simple firearms, so if this firearm can be used again, these human survivors will soon be able to make a lot of simple firearms to arm themselves, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved at that time.
It's a pity that what he got from Zhou Jiale's mouth now is an answer that disappointed him, as for what magic weapons the other party said, he had never heard of it at all, and he felt that these survivor bases didn't have the ability to make this thing.
Just after Zhou Jiale and the others rested for a few minutes, an airborne troop unit that heard the battle movement here rushed over, and finally a total of eighteen troops came one after another, which increased the number of airborne troops under Zhou Jiale to more than 5,000 at once.
This situation made Zhou Jiale's eyes light up, and he suddenly thought of a good way to gather soldiers, because now the magic weapons are only mass-produced and used by the Qinglong Empire, so as long as they are their own soldiers, once they hear the movement of these magic weapons fighting, they will immediately judge that there are friendly troops fighting, and then those airborne troops will naturally come over to converge. Attempt to support friendly forces.
Therefore, Zhou Jiale felt that they should fight more battles in the future, and the bigger the noise, the better, so that they could quickly assemble all 20,000 airborne troops.
In addition, he is also going to hand over the equipment and food captured this time to the human survivor leader named Zhu Tao, and let him find other survivor bases that he is familiar with, and use these equipment and food as bait to gather more survivors to join their team and use it to strengthen their momentum. After all, Zhou Jiale has seen the effect of this momentum with his own eyes just now, don't look at most of the combat effectiveness of these survivors, but as long as there are more people, they will stand on the battlefield, and the enemy will not be able to see the head at a glance, and the morale will be reduced a lot before the time comes.
And Zhu Tao actually planned to use those surplus food and equipment to recruit people! Now that he has received the task of Zhou Jiale, he simply agreed, after all, it is a convenient thing anyway, and he can also act in the name of the Blue Dragon Empire, and he can recruit many powerful lone wolf survivors who could not be recruited in the past to his command and strengthen his own power base.
Zhou Jiale naturally knew that the other party would do this, but this was also an invisible benefit he gave the other party, after all, who would be willing to do something that was not beneficial! Give some benefits to the other party now, presumably the other party will be more attentive when he does things for him in the future.
And the other party is a local, and the surrounding survivor forces must be clear, and the efficiency of action is much higher than theirs, if Zhou Jiale and they do it themselves, how to find those hidden survivor bases is a problem first, and finally even if they find someone, how to win the trust of the other party is also a problem, after all, not everyone is as easy as Zhu Tao to believe in their identity, and more people are very wary and repulsive of outsiders who are not familiar with them. In this case, it will be better to let Zhu Tao and other locals say it.
And Zhu Tao did not disappoint Zhou Jiale, in just one day, he summoned more than 10,000 survivor soldiers, and Zhou Jiale himself also managed to contact several teams of airborne troops, so that the strength in his hands has increased to more than 7,000 people. Coupled with the more than 10,000 survivor soldiers gathered by Zhu Tao, the strength is almost 20,000.
With so many soldiers and horses in hand, Zhou Jiale felt that he could finally do a big job, and he directly chose to attack a military town nearby where the demon was located.
It is said that there are more than 5,000 pseudo-army soldiers stationed in City A, and the number of demon warriors is not very clear, because according to Zhu Tao, there have been demon warriors in and out of City A during this time, so I don't know the specific number of demon warriors inside, but it is definitely not much, because the demon warriors who came out are obviously more than those who entered, and now the number of demon warriors may not even be five hundred.
In the past, the puppet army and demon warriors in this A city did not bully Zhu Tao and their local survivor forces, just Zhu Tao's own survivor base, at least those puppet soldiers and demons have been killed and captured more than 10,000 people over the years, otherwise he would not have pulled out all the people who could fight in the survivor base, and he could only barely make up a team of more than 800 people, after all, he was the most powerful survivor organization in this area.
But now it's okay, with Zhou Jiale and their group of bigwigs, they can finally go to take revenge, and the A city in that district, in Zhu Tao's opinion, may not be able to hold even a day.
After the troops were assembled, Zhou Jiale immediately set off with the army overnight, because the size of the army was too large, so even if Zhou Jiale was taking advantage of the night with the army, he was still discovered by enemy scouts at a distance of about ten kilometers from the city of A.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiale no longer hid, and immediately asked his soldiers to stride towards City A.
And the few scouts who escaped back by luck also immediately informed the supreme commander of City A, a junior sword master of the Xuangu Continent with innate triple combat power, of the news that there was a large number of enemy troops attacking. There are two great swordsmen under his command, and the other soldiers are all existences of acquired realm combat power.
But his opponent, Zhou Jiale himself has an innate sixfold cultivation, and there are more than 200 innate realm masters under his command, and the other airborne troops are also masters of the Great Perfection in the late stage of transformation, plus a large group of survivor soldiers with strong momentum, Zhou Jiale's side will completely destroy the enemy in terms of strength and the number of masters.
When Andrew, the supreme commander of City A, hurriedly put on his armor and climbed the city wall, what he saw was a long fire dragon that seemed to stretch to the horizon, which was the army under the command of Zhou Jiale, who had already lit up the chariots and horses, holding torches and advancing quickly.
Because it was night, Andrew couldn't tell whether the enemy was elite or cannon fodder, so he could only roughly estimate the number of enemy troops based on the number of torches.
As a result, this prediction, his heart suddenly cooled by half, because the enemy's strength was definitely more than 10,000, and there were actually less than 2,000 men and horses left in his city, and the 5,000 men and horses were deliberately created by Andrew to Zhu Tao and other local human survivors, and he deliberately let many soldiers sneak out of the city every day, and then return to the city with great fanfare during the day, making it look like there are still many soldiers and horses in the city. There's no way, if he doesn't do this, I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress those local survivor forces!
And those soldiers who were transferred away were naturally sent to the front line, and they didn't even want to be transferred back for a while.
This means that Andrew must rely on more than 1,000 horses in his hands to resist the army of more than 10,000 people outside the city, Andrew expressed despair, after all, he thinks that he is not a peerless general, and he cannot play a brilliant record of winning more with less in the case of such a large disparity in troops.
Just when Andrew was about to summon some gangsters and demon civilians in the city to assist in defending the city as strong men, Zhou Jiale, who was the first to rush to the city, directly launched an attack, leaving no time for the enemy to prepare.
Zhou Jiale took more than 200 innate masters under his command, and flew directly onto the city wall, and the magic energy assault rifle in his hand continued to strafe, and most of the defenders on the city wall were wiped out in an instant, and then more than 200 people quickly landed, changed into melee weapons and continued to start slashing all the way in.
And after seeing that the other party actually had more than two hundred second-order masters who could fly in the air for a short time, Andrew didn't have the heart to stick to the city at all, after all, he understood that in this case, there was only a dead end to continue to stay, so he didn't notice anyone, and took a dozen of his own soldiers and slipped away.
By the time the defenders who were struggling to resist Zhou Jiale's attack found that they didn't seem to be able to find their commander, Andrew had already escaped from City A with his people.
And because of the loss of unified command, those defenders faced Zhou Jiale and their onslaught was completely their own battle, and soon Zhou Jiale and they occupied the city gate tower, and then Zhou Jiale and they opened the city gate and put more friendly troops into the city.
At this moment, no one can stop the fall of City A, and many gangsters from the Xuangu Continent and the Abyss Demon Realm in the city not only did not want to help the defenders defend the city, but instead took the opportunity to smash and set fire everywhere in the city, and started a zero-yuan purchase.
Zhou Jiale and they fought all the way in, and they also met a lot of such gangsters, these guys seemed to be playing too silly, so they didn't find that the army rushed in front of them.
For these scum, Zhou Jiale did not have the slightest mercy, and killed one when he saw one, but those puppet soldiers in the city, as long as they surrendered with interest, he would generously spare the other party's life.
After discovering this, those puppet soldiers quickly surrendered one after another, and also took the initiative to lead the way, taking Zhou Jiale to suppress the gangsters who were smashing everywhere in the city and creating chaos.
So after a battle, Zhou Jiale found that among the enemies he hacked to death, there were more gangsters than puppet soldiers.
After making sure that the recalcitrant puppet soldiers and the gangsters who bought zero yuan in the city were eliminated, Zhou Jiale could finally breathe a sigh of relief and rest in the city lord's mansion.
This was a big battle overnight, and even a congenital master like Zhou Jiale felt a little tired, and he had to take a good rest.
As for the other soldiers, not to mention, they didn't even have time to count all the materials seized in the city, so Zhu Tao and the survivor soldiers with poor physique couldn't stand the sleepiness one by one, and fell asleep directly on the street.
And after Andrew escaped from City A, he ran wild all night and rushed to a nearby city that is larger than City A, City B, ready to borrow troops here to go back and take City A back, after all, these territory demons have actually been completely handed over to them to manage, but they usually need to pay some taxes on time, so Andrew naturally will not give up his own territory so easily.
