Chapter 123: The Monster Army is Coming!
An army of monsters is coming!
It's time to come or it's coming!
Having already known that monsters had commanders in the previous battle, Tang Ning had expected that these monsters should have formed armies, and now it seems that it was expected.
According to the scout's introduction, an army of monsters is stepping up its march at night in the southeast direction, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach the border wall of the Federal Empire in three days, and this battle is inevitable.
The only regret now is that because the monsters march at night, it is impossible to estimate the number of monster armies.
I don't know the number of monster armies, and now a very serious problem has been born.
Where the hell do you start to stop the monster army!
Although the territory of the Federal Empire is not too large, and the border wall will not be too long, it is exaggerated enough for the Federal Empire, which currently has only 50,000 armed forces, and it is a drop in the bucket to use the remaining 35,000 soldiers of the Federal Empire to spread out the guards from the border line, except for the 15,000 expeditionary forces.
But if you don't guard the border wall, monsters enter the territory of the Federal Empire to fight, and there will be huge losses to the economy in the Federal Empire, after all, there will be losses in the battle, even if you defeat the monster army, the damage to the city-state and crops will be not small.
At this moment, the scout was standing in the chamber, waiting for His Majesty to decide.
As Chief of the General Staff, Seaman did not pay much attention for the time being, after all, since he became Chief of the General Staff, he had not personally commanded a large-scale war, and both Holman and Grant left with the expeditionary force.
The Federal Empire lacked not only lower-level army commanders, but also high-ranking military talents.
As for Thorin, he is only hot-blooded, and he is not even as good as Seaman, which is why he, the Minister of Defense, has been marginalized at present.
Others are even more at a loss.
The silence in the conference hall was terrifying, everyone had no idea, and the monster army came too suddenly.
Queen Lori Hannah, the witch Difia, broke her peace a moment later.
"If we can, we can evacuate the civilians here in advance. ”
This is ready for defeat!
At the critical moment, this kind of opinion greatly hit everyone's confidence, Tang Ning glanced at the queen in the conference hall, shook his head, and got up to raise his voice.
"He-Man, gather all the soldiers who are capable of fighting, and set out tonight overnight to reach the border wall to the southeast, and I have decided to settle this battle outside the borders of the Confederation Empire. ”
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and they were going to take the initiative to face it.
Now passive defense may not be able to defeat the opponent, let alone take the initiative to face the battle.
Some people also thought about the previous problem.
"Your Majesty, we can't be sure which section of the border wall the monster army is attacking from, if the soldiers are concentrated in one section, it will be troublesome for the monsters to start attacking from the other section, and if they are scattered, the monsters will hit one section to attack, and they will definitely not be able to hold it. ”
Of course, Tang Ning had his own considerations, and said with a confident expression.
"The purpose of the monster army is not to occupy the city, they should have little interest in capturing the city, the main purpose is the residents here, in this case, we take the initiative to send a commando, the commando team to cruise outside the border wall, and immediately feint after encountering the monster army, then the monster army will definitely be attracted, and then the commando team will retreat, and the monster will definitely pursue, as long as they are brought to the part of the border wall that we concentrate our forces on defending. ”
That's the best!
Everyone was still a little surprised, most likely thinking about who would be the commander of this commando, that is, the bait.
Downing didn't give them a chance to speak.
"I will be the commander-in-chief of this battle, and I will act according to my orders, Romero, you and Thorin will be in charge of the material and logistics aspects, and as for the people's livelihood, everything will be business as usual. ”
After saying that, Tang Ning directly dismissed everyone, and walked out of the palace after a little preparation.
The starry night was filled with a large number of soldiers in the ready-to-prepare trucks, and the Federal Imperial Guard still had a certain advantage in terms of transportation compared to the monsters of the targets they had not yet seen.
I walked over to the car that I had prepared, settled down, and sat down.
As soon as I got into the car, someone pulled the door and jumped up, it was Lori Hannah, and Elizabeth.
"Don't try to leave us behind, the people of Witch Defia don't run away for fear of death. ”
Downing's heart was hot, which meant that the witch still trusted her enough, and motioned for the car to start, and left the city of Barbis, all the way to the southeast.
Along the way, he passed through a number of towns, the walls of which had been built, and they were thirty meters high, which seemed even larger than the walls of the city of Barbis, and this was the first time he had seen these towns under his rule.
Outside the town, the street lights are bright, and the soldiers who have also been signaled to go to the front line are saying goodbye to their families or friends, and after saying goodbye, they jump into the trucks, which speed into the traffic.
"How sure are you?"
Queen Lori Hannah, who had been silent all the way, suddenly asked.
Tang Ning smiled.
"I'm not sure. ”
Hearing this answer, Lori Hannah and Elizabeth looked at each other, obviously not expecting to get this answer.
After a pause, Downing added: "Surrender and lose half, you must not have heard, in this situation there is only one way to fight to the death, whether we win or lose, we can't avoid it." ”
Monsters are different from humans, if you fight against humans, it is a big deal to become a slave after losing, but monsters will not accept surrender at all, and whether they win or lose, they will end in death.
At noon the next day, they had reached the southeast border wall, and all the soldiers had climbed the wall.
Tang Ning stood on the border wall, looking into the distance, it would still be daytime, and the monster could not be found, and at night, the monster in front of him would suddenly appear.
After watching for a while, Downing called He-Man.
"Give me 500 men, and you will command the rest, and stay on the walls. ”
He-man did not know His Majesty's intentions and could only do so, and soon 500 carefully selected soldiers were selected.
After inspecting it, Tang Ning turned around and got into the prepared truck, and the 500 soldiers selected followed him into the truck all the way out of the border wall.
Now there is a flat river outside the border wall, there is no geographical advantage in the face of monsters, and I don't know which section of the border wall the monster will appear underneath, the only way is to take the initiative to attack, use five hundred people to attract monsters, and lead them to the part of the border wall where the Federal Imperial Guard gathers to start a war.
This can create a geographical advantage, attack from a high position on the border wall, and secondly, it can also allow monsters to come to the place where the superior forces of the guard are concentrated.
It's all in one battle!
It's that these people who go out of the city to attract monsters are very dangerous.
About five kilometers away, 500 people waited in place, waiting for the starry night.
During this time, Downing stayed with the soldiers.
"You ...... Do you have faith?"
In the face of His Majesty's inquiry, one of the soldiers had a look of death on his face.
"We lived in hell before, you created heaven and brought me into heaven, and now you are fighting for heaven, and if heaven falls, we can only continue to live in hell, there is no point in it. ”
Downing nodded, looking up at the sky.
As time passed, the sky darkened until a bright moon appeared in the sky and night fell.
"Cheer up, this battle will be won. ”
After Tang Ning boosted his morale, he looked around, and suddenly felt a little regretful, if only he could make a telescope!
As soon as the words fell, the voice of the artificial intelligence Nami immediately sounded in my head.
"The radar scanning system is activated. ”
As the radar scanning system activated, Tangning's Titan Type 1 armor automatically activated, and then a radar map appeared on the virtual screen in front of him, and a green line rotated on the fan-shaped plane.
"Is this radar useful for scanning monsters?"
Tang Ning asked curiously, because the previous radar system was all about scanning airplanes and the like.
Artificial intelligence Nami responds.
"The radar uses heat source exploration and is capable of detecting any object that has heat. ”
Before the words fell, Downing noticed a red dot on the edge of the radar, then two, three, four, five......
until it is densely packed and countless.
The direction is southeast, about five kilometers away.
It's supposed to be a monster!
Tangning motioned for the soldiers to quickly get into the car, and the vehicle sped in the direction of the monster.
After driving for about ten minutes, under the moonlight, you can see some figures of different sizes moving in the low hilly area, and at a glance, it is dense and full of fields, which makes people's scalp tingle.
After calming down, he motioned to the driver.
"Drive over. ”
The truck carrying five hundred soldiers moved in the direction of the monster, up and down the hills, and finally reached a nearby hill on higher ground, where the trucks lined up.
Tang Ning stood on the front of the car and looked at the forward of the monster army, which was only about 1,000 meters away, frowned, and then said in a cold voice: "The weapon system is activated." ”
Before the words fell, the original Titan Type 1 arm immediately turned into a cannon barrel, and Tang Ning aimed at the nearest monster vanguard, and shouted in a deep voice: "Fire." ”
A flash of fire shot out from the arm of the Titan Type 1 armor, instantly illuminating the skyrim, and after drawing a wonderful arc in the sky, it landed near the vanguard of the monster army.
"Boom"
The bright light from the explosion made the whole world feel like it was going into daylight.
In the next second, the roar of monsters sounded in the distance, and those monsters that had been moving slowly began to run wildly.
Downing immediately ordered.
"Turn around and go back. ”
The truck carrying five hundred soldiers sped away.
The speed of the monster is even comparable to that of a truck driving on the hills, and it is in hot pursuit.
The vehicle was bumpy, the soldiers on the car were up and down, and as they witnessed the frantically pursued by the army of monsters behind, one kind of monster stood out and the distance between it and the truck was rapidly shortened.
There are about 500 of them......
These monsters run on all fours, unlike other monsters.
It's a bit like a cheetah, and it goes without saying that it's a brand new monster that is known primarily for its speed.
Thirty seconds, the cheetah-eyed monster was less than four hundred meters away from the truck.
In the next thirty seconds, the cheetah-like monster would be able to catch up to the truck, but it would take at least five minutes before reaching the border wall.
This is a scenario that was not expected in any way.
Battles can only start early!
Tang Ning stood in the carriage, raised his arms, frowned, and gave orders.
"Shoot. ”
With the order given, all the soldiers looked for an angle suitable for shooting and pulled the trigger, and a large number of obsidian bullets pierced the night sky and flew out to attack the fast-pacing cheetah-type monsters.
In the next second, dozens of cheetah-type monsters instantly rolled on the ground, obviously rolling because of inertia after being hit!
But when the second round of attacks began, a strange sound sounded from the monster army.
As this strange sound sounded, those cheetah-type monsters that had been running in a straight line began to run irregularly.
A large number of bullets from the second round of attacks flew past the cheetah-type monsters that were running in irregular paths, and almost all of them missed......
There's a monster commander in command!
