"It's Commander Qian! Open the door!" A sentinel from the 131st company shouted.
His voice spread far away, and the soldiers who set up a row of field tents along the guard wall as a temporary camp to rest got up from their beds and rushed towards the guard wall.
Qianye's pace was not very fast, he was running on the wasteland at a constant speed, he stopped in front of the town gate, looked up, waved his hand to stop the sentinel from opening the gate, and then jumped onto the wall. The town's half-meter-thick composite steel door only opened a crack before slipping backwards from the guide rails under the pull of the gear noose, and closed heavily.
Bao Zhengcheng was already standing by the town gate. Two huge humanoid nerubian heads were thrown from the wall and landed at his feet. Qianye jumped down and simply said, "I'm back."
Bao Zhengcheng nodded vigorously, strode forward, and gave Qianye a big hug!
There was already some suspicious light in the eyes of this man with a mane as strong as a bear. He rubbed his eyes in a panic and muttered, "Damn it! The mountain wind is really strong tonight!" Then he scratched his head and covered it up: " Boss, what should we do now? Retreat or fight here?"
Qianye smiled wryly, and said, "It's impossible to retreat. The earthen castle has already been surrounded, and we can only defend the city here and wait for reinforcements."
"Surround?" The battalion commander of the expeditionary army who had been standing beside him changed his face drastically, and his legs were obviously weak.
"That's right, I've seen more than five hundred regular fighters of the dark race along the way, and about a few thousand cannon fodder fighters. What's the matter, Major, are you planning to retreat?" Qianye asked calmly.
Bao Zhengcheng's two thick eyebrows were tangled together, and he subconsciously reached out to touch the short gun at his waist. If the dark force seen by Qianye alone reached that scale, the so-called retreat would mean leaving most of the people behind, and only lieutenants and above could escape. At present, the battalion commander has the highest military rank on the scene. If he runs away directly, there will be chaos without hitting the whole town.
The battalion commander's face was green and pale, and he smiled wryly after a while, and said: "If you retreat now, you will die. Hold on, and hope to be able to persist until the reinforcements come. Those gentlemen behind... Alas!"
Bao Zhengcheng patted him on the shoulder heavily, and said, "Don't worry about the masters in the back, call everyone in the town who can hold a gun first! There is still hope for a guard, otherwise everyone will die."
The battalion commander nodded and hurried away.
Bao Zhengcheng approached the solemn Qianye and asked, "Boss, are there really so many black-blooded bastards out there?"
Qianye smiled bitterly, and said, "It's only a lot more than what I said."
A cold light flashed in Bao Zhengcheng's eyes, and he said solemnly: "This scale can basically confirm that the group army of the dark race has been mobilized. If there is really no discovery on the side of Xichang City, once the defense node of the earth castle is broken, it will be at least more than 100 kilometers away. line of defense."
Qianye said indifferently: "No matter how bastard the Imperial Military Intelligence Department is, I don't think they will make such a mistake."
The two looked at each other, and Bao Zhengcheng suddenly said, "Miss Qiqi couldn't do it."
Qianye was slightly taken aback.
"She will not use us as cannon fodder for the sake of the record. Miss Qiqi seems to have a bad temper, but she is not this kind of person."
Qianye looked at Bao Zhengcheng's sincere face, wondering if he should nod.
He did have such doubts at a certain moment. It would be a joke to say that the expeditionary army knew nothing about the scale of the dark race group army. However, if there is a battle in the near future, all front-line teams should be notified to shrink the defense line, with the exception of the scheduled cannon fodder battalion. They will fire the first shot of the battle either clearly or confusedly, and then be completely consumed on the battlefield.
Cannon fodder tactics are something that neither humans nor dark races can avoid.
But if it wasn't Qiqi, there was something wrong with the division-level military situation map. The map was delivered together with the ammunition, and the seals were intact. Although the expeditionary army transport route was used, it was escorted by the officers of the Yin family all the way. Then who can play tricks under the noses of the expeditionary army and the Yin family at the same time
Qianye suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who we are, we have to live first. As long as we can go back alive, we will always know the truth."
Bao Zhengcheng nodded. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly called out: "Boss!"
"how?"
"If you really can't hold on anymore, you should withdraw first! Brothers will help you contain the enemy!" Bao Zhengcheng thought for a while, and said clumsily: "Those trash in Xichang City might not know that this is the mobilization of the group army." Well, there must be someone to go back and report."
Qianye ignored Bao Zhengcheng's clumsy excuse and frowned in silence. He never thought of even the slightest possibility in this regard, the Red Scorpion military regulations have always been the chief's decision.
Bao Zhengcheng grabbed Qianye's shoulder, shook it vigorously, and shouted in a deep voice: "Boss! Go back alive! If, I mean if, there is really..."
As a soldier, he couldn't say more, but Qianye understood what he didn't say. Looking at the bloodshot eyes of this bear-like man, Qianye nodded very slowly. This small movement is more difficult than enduring thirty-five rounds of force tides.
Within an hour, piercing sirens echoed over the town. Qianye and Bao Zhengcheng boarded the guard wall and looked out.
On the distant horizon, a black tide line appeared, coming slowly but firmly. That is the army of the dark race!
"Boss, I will remember later..."
Qianye interrupted him, and said decisively: "Beat it first!"
The army of the dark race approached slowly, surrounding the earthen castle from all directions.
In the barracks, the battalion commander had asked someone to set up something that looked like an anti-aircraft machine gun. There was a crisp bang, and a cloud of colorful force fireworks rose more than ten meters above the ground, condensing and not dispersing. "His grandma, I don't know how many checkpoints those black-blooded bastards left for us!" The battalion commander scolded while wiping his hot sweat.
In a radius of more than ten kilometers, three or four people jumped out of the checkpoints disguised by giant trees. It was the first time in their lives that several sentries saw beacon firework reports so many enemy attacks. However, as soon as they left the checkpoint, they found that they had fallen into a heavy encirclement. Only the farthest place happened to be empty, and several sentries started to run towards the rear.
A blood clan saw these sentries, so they sent a small group of blood clan fighters to intercept them, while the large force still marched towards the earth castle.
Half an hour later, a blood knight hurried back, knelt down in front of a blood elder, and said, "Your Excellency, your subordinate is incompetent and let a human run away."
"Escaped?" The blood baron's bright red eyes suddenly burst into murderous aura, and he roared, "You can't do it even if you catch a few reptiles. What use do I need you for?"
The blood knight was sweating profusely, knelt down, and didn't dare to complain that there was a difference of nearly twenty kilometers in the starting distance between the two sides.
The old baron finally calmed down and said coldly: "When the city is attacked later, you should be the first to rush in!"
"Yes! Your Excellency!" The blood knight agreed before he dared to stand up.
Thousands of dark race warriors approached the small town, and the extraordinarily tall and ferocious figures among them almost suffocated the expeditionary army guarding the city. It is rare to see a few of this kind of high-level fighters, but now dozens of them appear at once!
Although they only attacked from three sides, leaving a door open. But as long as a soldier with a little common sense knows that it is not a last resort, he must not abandon the city and flee. According to the city, there is still a glimmer of life. In the wilderness, they will definitely not be able to outrun the dark race.
In the distance, more dark races stood still, and this round of attack was nothing more than their temptation. If the defenders show weakness, a tentative attack can turn into a full-scale attack at any time.
As the dark race approached, the atmosphere gradually became depressing, like the calm of an approaching storm.
A few flares suddenly shot out from the small town, slowly flying into the sky, and sprinkled the cool blue and white on the battlefield. At the moment when the flares rose, the senior fighters of the dark race either closed their eyes, or a red glow rose from their eyes, filtering the strong light. But many cannon fodders do not have this ability, and they were stabbed in the eyes by flares, causing waves of chaos.
The powerful human-shaped nerubians, werewolves, and vampires erupted with talent and coercion, and even directly killed a few cannon fodder who had completely lost their minds, and the chaos was contained.
At this time, a muffled thunder broke the silence of the night, and a ray of light lit up on the commanding height of the sentry tower of the guard wall, pulling out a line of fire with a clear track in the gray sky, and shooting it at a senior werewolf!
This strong three-meter-tall werewolf was sent flying backwards, and the blood on his chest mixed with minced meat and internal organs spurted out several meters high! Even with the terrible resurrection ability of the werewolf, when he fell to the ground, he couldn't get up again. A terrifying cavity appeared in his chest, and the internal organs inside were almost completely torn apart and burnt.
Eagle strike!
The roar of the eagle strike opened the curtain of the war.
The warriors of the dark race rushed towards the town like a tide, there were giant spiders, all kinds of wargs, and thousands of blood slaves.
Qianye unhurriedly loaded another Force bomb into Eagle Strike, this time aiming at a humanoid nerubian 300 meters away. With the roar of the eagle strike, a big hole suddenly appeared on the body of this fifth-level nerubian, and the entire upper body was almost folded in half in the middle!
By the time the Eagle Strike roared twice, the dark race had rushed under the guard wall and began to climb.
Giant spiders can directly climb up the guard wall, while the wargs use the momentum of running at full speed to directly step on the wall, and climb up to the top of the ten-meter-high wall in a few vertical leaps.
Only the blood slaves were unable to go directly to the city, so they pushed a series of long ladders to the guard wall, and then climbed all the way, rushing to the top of the wall along the passage opened by the Nerubians, Wargs, and senior fighters.
Hearing a bang, Qianye, who was inside the sentry tower, felt that his feet and the entire guard wall were shaking violently. He looked out and saw several senior werewolves manipulating a weapon similar to a short-barrel cannon. With a flash of dark force on the cannon, a metal cannonball would be shot out, and it would hit the town gate fiercely.
This city-breaking force cannon is quite powerful, and it can be regarded as a relatively common heavy weapon in fortified battles. Qianye frowned. The opponent was indeed part of the group army. Otherwise, in the normal preparation state, it would be guerrilla warfare. Who would take this heavy guy out.
