At this moment, the convoy was still a few kilometers away, and the twilight was getting thicker, and there was mist. Without special perception ability, it was impossible to see anything. Qianye's heart moved, and he glanced at Wu Shiqing. Even with ordinary night vision ability, he couldn't see so far.
Wu Shiqing said with some anxiety: "My lord, I... I have some perceptual abilities, mainly night vision, and I can see things that other people can't see."
The fairly powerful night vision was within Qianye's expectations, but Wu Shiqing was able to see other things, which meant that he possessed the ability of compound perception, which was no ordinary outstanding talent. Even if this young man can only rise to level five in this life, as long as he is given an eagle strike, he will be a deadly sniper. As for Wu Shiying, she has not yet shown more special abilities, but she is worth looking forward to just because of her extraordinary speed of cultivation.
The captain of the guard surnamed Wei was a little uneasy, and asked, "Young Master Qian, how many people are here?"
Qianye said: "A lot! The number is about one regiment. Well, two airships just landed over there, and that size can hold at least one battalion."
"Nearly two thousand people?" The faces of the two guard captains became very ugly. Although they had been psychologically prepared, they did not expect that the expeditionary force would be dispatched in such a reckless manner. It was almost impossible to completely cover up such a scale afterwards. This also means that the other party is determined to win, and the next day and night will never be easy.
Even if these guards were more confident than the expeditionary army, the gap in numbers between the two sides was too great, and Qianye had a lot of men, but not even half of them could go to the battlefield. Besides, it's only been a few days of training? In the eyes of the two guard captains, these three or four hundred people together can be equivalent to a regular company, and the equipment is not complete.
The captain surnamed Wei smiled wryly: "We don't have enough equipment, and we don't have much ammunition."
The captain surnamed He also sighed, and said calmly: "No matter what, we have to fight."
Outside the city, the expeditionary army got out of their vehicles one after another, and merged with the troops who got off the airship. The two troops were combined, and after only a short period of confusion, they returned to normal. From this detail, it can be seen that the two troops are very elite.
Qianye waved his hand, and a soldier behind him blew his horn. The low sound of the trumpet echoed over the small town, making everyone calm down and clenched the weapons in their hands.
Qianye took out a large-caliber gunpowder sniper rifle, threw it to Wu Shiqing, and said, "This is for you. You can act freely in the next battle. Remember, only kill lieutenants, and the school officers don't need you to worry about it." Shiying, you are responsible for assisting and protecting your brother."
Wu Shiqing took the surprisingly heavy sniper rifle, and then took the bag of bullets thrown by Qianye, raised his head stubbornly, and said, "I want the force gun!"
Qianye shook his head and said: "With your little force, two or three shots will be empty. This is a battlefield, not a place for you to be a hero! In addition, don't shoot at the school officer, it is best not even the captain. Control. All you have to do is kill as many lieutenants and ensigns as possible."
The majors are basically four or five level masters, and gunpowder weapons are no longer a big threat to them. However, large-caliber sniper rifles still pose a considerable threat to soldiers of the second and third ranks. As long as a large number of middle and low-level officers are killed, there will be big problems in the dispatching of the expeditionary force.
At this time, Wu Shiying took a step forward, with a mixture of tension and determination on her small face, and said, "Give...give me a force gun. I...I can shoot a few more shots."
Qianye smiled and asked, "How many shots can you shoot?"
Wu Shiying became even more nervous, and stammered: "A first-level force gun can hit five, no! Six shots!"
The two guard captains were immediately moved. Even second-level fighters are not able to shoot five or six shots. Wu Shiying's body obviously only has the fluctuation of one force node.
Qianye immediately became interested. To be honest, this statistic is not much worse than him. Seeing the girl's tense back stretched into a straight line, he slowed down his voice and said, "It seems that you have some special talents, can you tell me?"
Wu Shiying said in a low voice: "I seem to be able to control the flow of the original force, so it doesn't consume much when using the original force gun. In addition, I seem to have more original force than others."
Qianye nodded. It turns out that Wu Shiying's ability is in the control of the original force and the depth of the total amount. Although it sounds like there is nothing special about it, in the foreseeable future, Wu Shiying will be able to crush most of the opponents at the same level just relying on the strength of the original force.
These brothers and sisters are really good talents.
Qianye glanced at them, his heart moved, and he asked again: "Do you know why I must fight here?"
Brothers and sisters Wu Shiqing and Wu Shiying looked a little dazed. These military issues were not something they could see through without experience.
"Because the surrounding area is not dangerous to defend, and there may be other opponents who do not have good intentions, just like wild beasts on the wasteland, if they are too weak, they will call in more natural enemies. So even if we want to run, we must first use this place If we have to defeat the pursuers, we can escape. Besides, we don’t need to escape at all, as long as we persist until tomorrow night, reinforcements will arrive.”
There is still one thing Qianye didn't say, that is, this battle will also cause a large number of downsizing of the seeds, and only the strongest group of people will survive. But the remaining people are like swords coming out of a furnace, each time they are fired, they will become sharper.
"Is it disabled?" The captain of the guard surnamed Wei muttered worriedly. Although he is not afraid of death, but his confidence is not very strong.
Qianye smiled, but did not answer. Since the expeditionary force has been dispatched to the regiment level, there will be at least two sixth-level masters in the team. In the eyes of the two captains of the guards, they only had Qianye at the fifth level, and their numbers and equipment were far inferior. It was not easy to hold the position, and they hardly thought about the possibility of a counterattack.
The defense in the town has already been arranged, and now it is waiting for the enemy to attack.
These expeditionary forces didn't even change their uniforms, they just took off their military ranks. The unprofessional way of pretending to be bandits just shows their determination to wipe out the grass and roots.
The expeditionary force had already set up a position outside the town, and pushed down several small light guns from the truck, ready to shell. A moment later, amidst the roar, several light cannons began to spit out flames, sending shells into the town. Shelling is a very primitive but still effective means of attack, especially for ordinary soldiers who have not cultivated the original force. The killing effect is quite obvious.
In Qianye's eyes, the trajectory of these shells was extremely clear. He suddenly grabbed the sniper rifle in Wu Shiqing's hand, and in the posture of using an assault rifle, he shot into the air.
The roar of sniper rifles almost overwhelmed the sound of rumbling guns. A ball of dazzling flames burst out in the air, and a cannonball was actually blown up in the air!
This kind of scene is often seen on large battlefields where senior fighters participate in the battle, but it is rare for regiment-level units of the expeditionary army to see it, and it is even more impossible for the young men and women behind Qianye to have seen this spectacle.
Qianye almost didn't need to aim, and shot four more times in a row, directly emptying a five-round magazine. Four groups of flames in the air continued to sway heat waves, making the inside and outside of the town dead silent.
After a while, earth-shattering cheers broke out in the town! Qianye nodded slightly. Only with this kind of morale can we fight! After all, for ordinary people in the Evernight Continent, especially the seeds who were slaves, the expeditionary army is an irresistible behemoth.
The expeditionary force was still shelling, and then the vanguard infantry began to slowly advance towards the town. The light and heavy machine guns serving as cover fire continued to spit out flames, and stray bullets whizzed back and forth in the air. Cannonballs kept falling in the small town, and there were screams from time to time.
However, the effect of the bombardment was not good, and most of the seeds without combat power had already hid in the mine tunnel in advance. The other soldiers scattered throughout the town, and the expeditionary force moved in haste, obviously not having time to mobilize the heavy artillery, so Qianye was not worried. The real battle will start when the expeditionary army invades the town, and it will still be the duel between masters that will determine the outcome of the local battlefield.
Suddenly, a heavy machine gun fired wildly on the town wall, and the soldiers of the expeditionary army who were within a hundred meters were immediately swept away. However, the force of the force suddenly lit up in the expeditionary army, and a shining yellow force bullet swept across the battlefield, easily piercing through the steel guard of the heavy machine gun, tearing the shooter who was shooting wildly into two pieces.
Then there was a whistling sound in the air, and several shells fell one after another, blowing up the battle position of the heavy machine gun, and killing all the bombers and backup shooters inside.
Qianye sighed inwardly. The training time for these people was too short. Except for a dozen regular army soldiers, those who were born as mercenaries, hunters, and adventurers basically had no group combat experience. The shooter just now didn't hold his breath under the tremendous pressure, and fired ahead of time, exposing himself. If the expeditionary force advances under the town wall and the forwards of both sides meet the border, they will not be bombarded by artillery fire.
Qianye glanced over and memorized the position of the lieutenant and company commander of the expeditionary force who fired the shot. It's just a third-level fighter, so it's not worth his shot now. Qianye patiently waited for a few big fish to take the bait. Once the eagle strike in his hand roared, those lieutenant colonels would definitely retreat to the back of the line.
So once Qianye used Eagle Strike, they would have no time to escape.
The expeditionary force rushed under the wall, the shelling had stopped, there were gunshots and explosions everywhere, and the battle had begun in full swing. Among the soldiers of the long-distance army, many extremely agile figures suddenly jumped out, even jumping onto the town wall several meters high in one step!
These people act like the wind, not like humans at all, and are even more agile than some beasts. As soon as they rushed up the city wall, several soldiers from Qianye's side would fall down immediately, only the defense line where the Far East Heavy Industry guards were able to barely block them. And one of the bald-headed strong men was shot more than ten times in the body, and he acted as if nothing had happened, and wrung the neck of an ordinary soldier with a grinning grin!
These are warriors, and when faced with ordinary people, they are almost unstoppable.
Suddenly the roar of a sniper rifle resounded on the battlefield, and the strong man froze, making a defensive posture, and fixed himself on the spot. But he was completely fine, and a second lieutenant beside him fell backwards. This stunned the fourth-level brawny man, scratching his head, unable to understand what was going on.
The sniper rifle roared again, and another second lieutenant who was not far from the strong man fell in response, but the strong man was still fine.
This obviously aroused the anger of the strong man, and he looked around for the damn sniper. Then a young man suddenly appeared in his vision, walking towards him. What is strange is that this young man easily passed through the fierce battle areas without being affected at all, and came to the front without hindrance in a blink of an eye.
