Aloof
Tang Long jumped down from the huge city wall with the sound of wind whistling in his ears.
He never thought that he would be labeled like this, just like he never thought that the battle at level 18 would be delayed for so long, making him wait for a full 15 minutes.
If you have never experienced it, you don’t know how shocking the scenes of war will be.
Just like fighting a war alone, you also have to face thousands of troops of ferocious beasts. Enemy attack—a first-level ferocious beast, steel-armored rat.
Tang Long's hand holding the sword was very steady, but his fingertips were a little cold.
He hates rats. These animals like to stay in the filthiest places since the beginning of civilization, spread bacteria and viruses, eat greedily, and behave obscenely.
As for the steel-armored rat, Tang Long was no stranger to it either.
This is almost the most common first-level ferocious beast. It is rumored that it was mutated from the black-toothed rat, so they still retain the characteristics of the black-toothed rat. The pair of front teeth are black.
But since they are ferocious beasts, they are countless times more powerful than the black-toothed rats that are not even mutant beasts.
It has a strong bite force, a flexible body, sharp claws, a tail that can be used as a whip, and the key to giving it the strength of a first-level ferocious beast—the steel armor.
Well, steel armor that can block thermal weapons such as firearms, and steel armor that is very laborious to kill even with S-class weapons.
In addition, never doubt the intelligence of rats. In previous civilizations, they were cunning animals. By the Purple Moon Era, they had evolved human-like intelligence.
Tang Long had to face such enemies. There were more than 200 even first-level ferocious beasts. When they came overwhelmingly like a tide, even the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of sewers.
There are many ruins of previous civilizations outside Steel Blood City. This kind of steel-armored rat likes to stay in the sewers of the ruins.
Tang Long frowned in disgust, and his falling body finally reached the bottom of the city wall. At this time, the armored rats were less than 500 meters away from Tang Long.
Tang Long was very calm and got directly into an armored vehicle that looked somewhat dilapidated in appearance. This was the most complete vehicle left on the battlefield. Tang Long had tried it before. Despite its scarred appearance, its The inside is actually quite intact.
'Buzz', the armored car started. Tang Long directly throttled to the bottom and rushed towards the group of armored rats.
At the same time, three sonic boom grenades were held in Tang Long's hands. On the passenger seat, a flamethrower that had been transformed from the Ziyue era stood quietly.
"Come on." Compared with cold weapons, hot weapons seemed to ignite a man's blood more. Even the silent Tang Long shouted softly.
Then, the armored vehicle rushed into the group of armored rats, knocking over a dozen armored rats in a row, and then stopped amidst the harsh sound of brakes.
Tang Long's figure in battle armor crashed through the roof of the car and jumped out.
Standing on the roof of the car, he threw three sonic boom grenades into the area where the rats were most concentrated.
"Zizzizi", a dizzying sound wave came instantly, and the armor's ear protection effectively isolated this sound wave.
After all, it was the armor of a mid-level officer. This was already the best armor Tang Long could find, even though its arms were broken in several places.
However, the steel-armored rats did not have ear protection, and were directly driven crazy by such sound waves, and the same kind began to attack each other.
Tang Long watched indifferently, not thinking that a small sonic boom grenade could have a huge effect.
The armored vehicles were already being chewed up, and the bodies of the steel-armored rats were not that big, only about the size of pre-civilized cats.
But the amazing biting force has been demonstrated at this time.
Those that have not been specially modified are just armored vehicles left over from previous civilizations that are simply not worth mentioning under their teeth.
Will the armored rat eat steel? Tang Long didn't know this, but as a rat, his ability to bite anything would not change.
Of course, they would not let Tang Long go. At this time, several armored rats had already rushed onto the armored vehicle, with the purpose of attacking Tang Long.
The tactical mobile disk pulled Tang Long's body up in time. At this moment, Tang Long also grabbed the three barrels of gasoline placed in the car.
Then bucket after bucket was thrown into the air
Then, Tang Long used the tactical mobile disk to rush into the air and kicked the oil barrels in the air one by one.
At this time, it was like a rain of gasoline in the sky!
Then, Tang Long landed on the top of the broken armored vehicle again, and several armored rats swarmed up. Tang Long grabbed the commander's long knife and swept away the armored rats with a sweep. Taking advantage of this gap, he killed the co-pilot. He held the flamethrower next to him.
Then, the tactical mobile disk pulled Tang Long into the air, and a stream of flames spurted out from the flamethrower. The armored rats immediately burst into flames.
At this time, just one minute had passed since he rushed into the group of rats.
The battle belonging to Tang Long started with a fire!
**
Tang Long is indeed aloof.
But on the battlefield, he was a fierce general, and a wise general.
This is the evaluation that everyone gave without hesitation after seeing Tang Long's performance.
From using armored vehicles to rush into the rat swarm, to using sonic boom grenades to cause chaos in the rat swarm, to spreading oil barrels and turning on flamethrowers.
At every step, Tang Long made full use of the remaining resources!
Every step is the most correct step that a person can take in war, methodically and without any chaos.
One person holds back the progress of the rats, one creates chaos among the rats, and one uses limited resources to the extreme.
But in this way, he can only be called a fierce general.
Because his purpose is not strong enough, which is to achieve a complete victory in the war! Judging from everything he did, he just wanted to hold off these steel-armored rats as long as possible and kill as many steel-armored rats as possible.
On the surface, this is correct.
Delay, waiting for reinforcements.
But a real battlefield commander, unless he gets certain information, for example, reinforcements will arrive in 15 minutes, the current purpose of the war is to delay for 15 minutes.
Otherwise, they will all aim to win this war! No matter how impossible this is, even if the final outcome is to die together!
Many officers present looked at Tang Long's performance and wished they had a strong general like Tang Long under their command, but they absolutely did not want Tang Long to become their commander.
What about Tang Ling
He is a monster!
At least that's how the soldier on the scene felt, because he went to the extreme and saw the war as a war, not a battle.
**
What can Tang Ling do in 25 minutes
If we go back to the beginning, it took Tang Long ten minutes to find the supplies he could use, and then he just waited.
Then Tang Ling made the most of every minute.
In 5 minutes, nine people collected supplies.
As long as you have the best and collect as much as possible, it will be much faster than collecting supplies alone.
So, Tang Ling got nine sonic bombs, some gasoline, three flamethrowers, some moderately powerful explosives, and some bits and pieces.
After five minutes, even though there were still many supplies worth collecting, Tang Ling decisively gave up.
The most basic requirement is that everyone under his command has a tactical movement disk and a battle armor.
The advanced requirement is to try to collect some thermal weapons with large-area killing range.
If you have done that, don’t be greedy.
And what does the battlefield look like under the city wall? What is the terrain? Strictly speaking, it is the most suitable and worst terrain for combat.
Why? Because it is just a large piece of flat land, it may have once been a forest, but the continuous wars have long since turned it into a bloody wasteland.
Yes, is there any terrain more suitable for combat than flat ground? But there is no cover available, and what terrain is worse than flat ground
Perhaps, the people of Steel Blood City relied too much on tactics such as the Tactical Mobile Disk, and did not even make any arrangements on the flat ground under the wall. Tang Ling once complained about all this in his heart at the Barrier of Hope.
But it is also terrible once people's thinking enters inertia. All wars in the Ziyue era revolved around the tactical mobile disk.
so
Tang Ling started his own arrangements. Before a war, the most important thing was to collect as much information as possible and make predictions.
With the prediction, at least Tang Ling would not hesitate. Everything would revolve around this prediction.
Tang Ling made this distribution among the nine people.
Among them, the one with the strongest strength dug a trench with Tang Ling, and the other seven had to work as porters.
What to carry? Of course they were the corpses left on the battlefield after the last war.
Without time to explain too much, Tang Ling directly drew a rough diagram and briefly explained what everyone had to do.
Force can only establish temporary authority, but a certain kind of calm and steady momentum, as well as an attitude full of confidence and decisiveness, is the key to long-term establishment of authority.
What authority brings is efficient execution of orders, and Tang Ling obviously did all this well.
It was so that everyone present forgot that he was still a young man, and it was as if he was facing a battle-hardened officer.
It took less than two minutes for Tang Ling to issue the order, and then everyone began to carry out their duties.
War has always been about collective strength, but the Ziyue era was slightly different. Because the power of the individual is also very prominent, occasionally there will be situations where the power of the individual overrides the power of the collective.
Tang Ling naturally wouldn't think about such high-end power, at least in this war this was not the right idea.
But the 'Superman' who is far stronger than the previous civilization also reflects the difference from the war of the previous civilization.
At least Tang Ling and one other person could dig trenches at a speed that no pre-civilized person could imagine.
Twelve minutes later.
There were obvious changes under the city wall, and three semicircular lines made of corpses appeared.
These 'lines' piled up by corpses tightly surround the hole in the city wall below. The innermost circle is less than 15 meters away from the city wall where the hole is located.
The middle circle is about 30 meters away from the city wall where the hole is located.
The outermost circle is 50 meters away, and it looks like it is surrounding the hole in layers.
But these semicircles are not complete, because they are not completely closed in the middle, but leave a gap about 5 meters wide.
This gap was made into a trench by Tang Ling. The depth of the trench was about 3 meters and the length was 45 meters.
In the last 5 meters, a piece of flat land of about 50 square meters was left!
This is probably it, and this is the only thing we can do!
Tang Ling took a look at all the arrangements and rehearsed the tactics in his mind. He never thought that his prediction would be wrong. All the arrangements were based on the prediction in his mind. If it was wrong, it would be a mistake. All arrangements are ineffective.
"It shouldn't be wrong! From a probability perspective, it's 80% likely to be it." The creature Tang Ling mentioned was naturally the most likely beast to attack next.
Tang Ling's main tactical thinking was to divide and cut the enemy as much as possible.
But not everyone could understand Tang Ling's tactical thinking. The people in the wall protection team were quickly repairing the city wall.
They saw Tang Ling directing the remaining seven or eight rookies to be busy, and they didn't have any hope in their hearts.
What is the purpose of piling up corpses? When encountering powerful ferocious beasts, the defense line made of these corpses is worse than a joke.
What's the point of digging a trench? Even if the trenches were filled with gasoline, the gasoline actually only flooded less than half of the trenches.
Besides, can a depth of 3 meters trap a ferocious beast
Everything Tang Ling did seemed to the Wall Guards to be useless and childish, and they were even a little angry.
Could it be that Tang Ling and those rookies wanted to trick them? Shouldn't the correct thinking be to find a way to keep these ferocious beasts as far away from the damaged part of the city wall as possible? Why focus the fight here
But, pulling away the ferocious beasts? Well, you can’t expect these newbies to do it!
Of course Tang Ling wouldn't explain anything.
In fact, the most feared thing in war is losing control. With only 9 people, it is impossible to control the ferocious beasts away, and it is extremely easy to lose control once they are far away.
Moreover, Tang Ling's purpose was not to delay time, but to win! What do the Wall Guards think? Is it important
Everything has been arranged, and everyone is concentrated in a small area of 50 square meters in the center.
All that's left is to wait.
At this time, 24 minutes had passed. Tang Ling lit a cigarette for himself and looked into the distance with the telescope he found among the corpses.
A minute later, a group of steel-armored rats rushed out from the dense forest on the edge of the battlefield, overwhelming the sky and heading towards the city wall like a tide.
The faces of the people in the wall protection team turned pale. It would be easier to deal with large ferocious beasts and small city guards. These steel-armored rats were just running around and eating everything! Small city guards simply cannot kill them all.
It is conceivable that the city wall will suffer greater damage! And most of them will be buried in the belly of rats.
But you can't run away. The consequences of running away are more terrible than being buried in the belly of a rat! The only thing that can be done is to persist here.
The people on the wall guard team looked pale, and although the rookies following Tang Ling were not that bad, they still became nervous.
Even if you have just experienced the most brutal war, when you face the war again, you will still be afraid, unless you are a veteran who has become numb to the war.
Only Tang Ling had a smile on his face. He was right in his bet. The beast that came was indeed a steel-armored rat!
As long as the prediction is correct, everything in the next battle will be within control.
"Cheer up. Survival is only the minimum requirement. What we want is victory in this battle!" Tang Ling shouted, his expression full of arrogance.
On the battlefield, arrogance is the best tranquilizer! Because that represents full confidence.
Sure enough, under Tang Ling's roar, the rookies became more energetic, at least the hands holding the weapons were not trembling so much.
The swarm of steel-armored rats was very fast. It only took just one minute from appearing on the edge of the battlefield to swarming into the first line of defense made of corpses.
At this time, something magical happened.
A group of about 200 steel-armored rats were actually cut up!
When they rushed to the first line of defense made of corpses, they began to gnaw crazily. There were probably nearly ninety steel-armored rats staying at the first line of defense, lying on top of them densely and starting to devour the food.
The second line of defense of corpses held back nearly sixty armored rats.
The third line of defense of corpses held back more than twenty steel-armored rats.
They competed for food so frantically that some armored rats were inevitably squeezed into the trench in the middle. There were more than a dozen unlucky armored rats.
In this way, only less than 10 armored rats were left and rushed towards the battle field of about 50 square meters specially reserved by Tang Ling!
Why is this so? Even the dumbest person would know the answer at this point.
This is because corpses attract armored rats. How can these guys who eat everything resist the temptation of corpses? Moreover, these corpses were left over from the battle just now. Among them were the corpses of powerful ferocious beasts and the corpses of strong human beings.
This simply amplifies the temptation tenfold! It's just a gluttonous feast. Steel-armored rats are not arrogant. They don't eat dead things at all like some ferocious beasts.
In fact, they just like dead things! After all, the world outside Iron Blood City is so cruel, and eating dead things is also a way of survival.
The defense line made by the corpse successfully cut the armored rat, although this was only the first step.
"Get ready!" Tang Ling shouted, and the rookies behind him immediately dispersed!
"Fight!" Tang Ling gave the order, and a soldier behind Tang Ling threw a torch into the trench, and the trench suddenly burst into flames.
At this moment, Tang Ling suddenly rushed out and faced the first steel-armored rat that rushed towards the platform, and began to give instructions from his mouth.
"A, move 15 meters to the left, at your three o'clock direction, and hit it directly."
"B, step back three meters"
"C, pull up 20 meters, and then move towards the six o'clock position"
A fight began. The elite human soldiers faced the first-level ferocious beast Steel Armored Rat, and their combat effectiveness was absolutely at a disadvantage.
But what if they were equipped with armor that was higher than the standard armor? What if the weapons they hold are all S-class weapons
What if they were divided into three groups and went to beat up a steel-armored rat
The most important thing is, with the cooperation of the tactical mobile disk and Tang Ling's precise command
Then, encircling and killing the steel-armored rats changed from impossible to possible! After all, good armor can resist the most deadly bites of steel-armored rats. At least in a short period of time, steel-armored rats should not even think about chewing through these armors.
Even if elite warriors use talent weapons, it is a waste. Fortunately, although S-level weapons cannot cause fatal damage to the armored rats, they can break through the defense.
Several people can surround and kill one, and the accumulated damage can kill a steel-armored rat quickly. Not to mention Tang Ling's most important precise command, so that these soldiers will not be in a hurry, and can ensure that every attack is an effective attack. , and can form a perfect fit!
This is how Tang Ling's battle begins!
His tactical thinking is so clear, cut the enemy, concentrate his own strength, and annihilate the enemy!
Of course, the advantages have been exploited to the extreme, and the most rare thing is
**
"This kid is a monster! All he prepared was to predict that the incoming beast was a steel-armored rat. Interesting!" Looking at Tang Ling leading the team to fight, there was a man with an extremely serious look on his face, who had not spoken a word since. The old man sitting in the corner even in the box spoke.
This box is the VIP box second only to Hei Lao. From the decoration to the service, it is undoubtedly top-notch.
Why? Because of the noble status of the people in this box, even the major forces would not dare to offend them easily.
They are representatives from Steel Blood City.
No one would have expected that a mere Hell Cliff competition, open to talented young people to challenge, would actually attract people from the military.
Because no one knows, the military has launched a secret plan to cultivate a team of talented young people.
It makes sense that they would come!
What was unexpected was just Tang Ling's performance! The old man who had been silent all this time actually spoke.
Who is this old man? He is the highest-status representative among the representatives sent by the military this time. He is a major general.
In the previous games, no matter how wonderful the talented teenagers performed, he was not moved at all.
After all, they are members of the military, and they value certain talents and the collective far more than individual strength.
Unless personal strength can affect the entire battlefield! But these talented teenagers can't do it. After all, they haven't grown up yet.
But Tang Ling
"His prediction is very accurate. It seems that this boy is a person who can read military records." After the old major general spoke, a burly middle-aged man couldn't help but nod and praise, with an undisguised look in his eyes. appreciation for Tang Ling.
If he were not a professional soldier, he might be confused as to how Tang Ling could determine that the attacking beast was a steel-armored rat.
But as a soldier, of course you know the importance of military records. All the details recorded in military records are not boring records, but a summary of various information.
Officers who have taken formal military courses can read a lot from military records.
But Tang Ling had not received any formal training, and he still grasped the key points! If the battlefield is not cleaned up in time, the most dangerous beasts that are likely to attract corpses are carnivores.
And the carnivorous beast that often appears on this battlefield is the steel-armored rat!
Tang Ling has been controlling the battlefield from the beginning!
This is a big chapter of 6,000 words, just for everyone to read it happily. In September, I persisted until the end of the month and felt a little tired. I don’t make excuses, and I don’t talk about the difficulty of the plot. Everyone sees this and makes their own judgment. The main reason is that there are many other things that are busy this month, and Sansan has really been persevering and dividing his time in various ways. In the last few days, the pace of updates will be slower. I apologize to everyone.
