Chapter 285 War
At the mouth of the Taidamila River tributary, Han Xiao arranged in advance to form a strict blockade on the shore, and many mines were laid on the riverbed at the mouth of the sea.
Gu Meng had completely mastered the whereabouts of the evacuated troops of the Sprout. Han Xiao, who was remotely controlling the army, said that he had a huge advantage and had never fought such a rich battle. If he changed to an ordinary commander, he would not know how to lose, let alone a big man like him who was ahead of his time.
The net had been laid. In his eyes, the sprout was already a beast with no way to escape. Even if he knew there was a hunter's trap ahead, he could only rush in.
The battlefield was divided into two parts. A part of the heavy machinery was mainly responsible for the shore blockade to prevent the key enemies from retreating by sea, and a large number of robots were responsible for ground interception.
Considering that the new players wanted to let them have a sense of participation, Han Xiao also arranged some corner tasks, but he did not have much hope for them. Now the new players are just spectators and do not have the strength to participate in this level of combat.
The ground army of Thunderfire Sword was ambushed in the valley near the seaport. It was mainly composed of low-level robot soldiers, mixed with a small number of high-level robots to intercept the executive officers of Sprout. Sprout conducted human experiments and absorbed super criminals. They advocated force and had many single masters.
In addition to the above regular troops, there were also a small number of Han Xiao's rangers, who were mixed with experience, and the logistics were humans. The goal was to intercept the ground troops coming to join Sprout. Mingyue Changzhong, Flash Fried Rice, and Jiang Yuluo were serving as logistics soldiers.
The three were spotted by Han Xiao during the internal test, and he only thought he was a mysterious NPC at the time.
After the public test started, it was discovered that he was a big boss, the commander of the three armies of Thunderfire Sword, who was second to none, so he joined Thunderfire Sword without hesitation.
But he did not choose the mechanical department. Han Xiao only tested the mechanism during the internal test and did not fool people to change their jobs. There was no shortage of people who wanted to change to mechanics during the public test.
At this time, they had exchanged their main professions. Flash Fried Rice and Jiang Yuluo were both martial arts, and Mingyue Changzhong still chose supernatural powers.
As new recruits, the three of them were also recruited to do some logistics in this war.
What surprised the three was that they actually triggered a faction series of tasks - [Battle of the Taida Mira River].
After the surprise, the three soon became distressed. There were more than a dozen targets in the series of tasks, and they could only complete the simplest and lowest-reward logistics targets in the series of tasks. Other tasks such as killing ten sprout soldiers, killing sprout executives, and destroying vehicles were completely beyond their capabilities.
"This doesn't seem to be a task that should be triggered at our level." Mingyue Changzhong said.
Flash Fried Rice and Jiang Yuluo agreed with it, and both felt that they should be involved in a difficult task beyond their level. With their novice level, they can only play a supporting role.
Indeed, at this time, the sprout should still be lurking on standby. When the public beta was just launched, players should be familiar with the background. After a while, they will have a basic understanding of the world pattern and have some combat power. Only then will the war conflict start from a small scale and progress step by step, allowing players to slowly participate in it and play a role.
However, Gu Meng completely disrupted the process and launched a full-scale war against the sprouts in one breath. Moreover, this battle was a large-scale retreat and interception, which was considered to be of relatively high intensity.
So the current players have no ability to participate in it at all. Well... to be precise, the players were cheated out of the main storyline missions that should have been available.
But it doesn't matter. Now Gu Meng has a little understanding of the mechanism of this world. The mission of the sprouts was cheated out, but the experience pool of the large version will not be reduced. When the planet is unified and there is really no war mainline, Gu Meng can even set up a villain camp to issue missions in the future, just as an exercise...
...
The tributary of the Taidamila River flows through the Cloud Valley and leads to the sea at the end of the valley.
Gu Meng has come to the edge of the Cloud Valley. The ground forces of the sprouts will pass through the valley and join the sea forces.
He came here to watch Han Xiao fight, and the spectator mode was activated. Of course, he also wanted to find an opportunity to activate the body. If there is a good opponent, he can also go down and take action directly. Anyway, he has maxed out his defense and is not afraid of being accidentally injured - if he is accidentally injured, it is not the main body, and it will be better to repair it.
During this period, he had been frantically attacking the sprouts to obtain experience points, and he actually got some skill points, which he added to the magic "Blood Flesh Weakness·Mechanical Ascension" that strengthens the body strength. The effect should be good. One punch is much more powerful than without strengthening magic...
A bit like Mr. Kuzuki who was strengthened by Medea in Fate.
Gu Meng felt that he might have been invincible in the single-player battle on the Blue Star, but he had not fought a life-and-death duel with a real C-level martial artist. After all, there were quite a few C-level martial artists. The powerful executives of the sprouts were generally only D or D+, and the C-level ones should still be in the headquarters. So he was a little angry when Little Batty was surrounded and seriously injured before, and he became the BOSS and was replaced by the brave team. There was no martial virtue.
…
The river passed through the Cloud Valley to nourish the fertile soil. The terrain was relatively diverse, with plains with light grass, forests, and hills.
Han Xiao ambushed a large number of ground troops here, with all kinds of war equipment, including tanks, armed helicopters, and medium-range missiles. He also laid out a large number of minefields. At first, the robots were used directly, which was a bit of a loss. Later, Mengya did more and got a lot of weapons for free. Han Xiao also got some production lines. The more he fought, the richer he became. It would be a waste if he didn't use them.
The various command systems of the ground army are all intelligently processed. Han Xiao also found it very useful after adapting to it. Although it is rigid, it is very controllable. As long as this war is carried out according to the plan, it will be a sure victory.
…
The evacuation troops that sprouted in Nanzhou are a huge convoy composed of hundreds of various tanks. This large force is a mixture of the withdrawal of all surviving bases.
Lin Yu is the commander-in-chief, and the direct person in charge of the ground forces is named Ugar, a white man.
Ugar is also very clear that the troops are about to be ambushed. The opposing general knows his side very well. There is no way to avoid this fierce battle. He has made preparations. The evacuation troops of these bases carry some new weapons under test, some of which are powerful.
These experimental weapons are all important supplies, and there are also several human test subjects of the [Super Soldier Project].
…
A local war has begun.
Wicked--suddenly, a rapidly approaching scream sounded in the sky.
More than a dozen medium-range missiles flew towards the Thunder Fire Sword position with tail flames, and suddenly split into dense warheads in the air. These were cluster bombs, which fell quickly.
…
At the same time, the ground convoy of the Sprout, which had just launched missiles, finally entered the forest area outside the Yunzhai Valley.
Ugar's face was heavy. The convoy was carrying an experimental device developed by Sprout, which could release strong electromagnetic radiation to remotely destroy signals and reversely derive the location of enemy communication nodes. Although it was not accurate for the Thunder Fire Sword, it was better than nothing.
Ugar thought that was the enemy's position, so he let the few cellular missile launchers in the convoy attack.
This method would definitely not kill the Thunder Fire Sword's troops. Sure enough, from a distance, Ugar saw a dense array of missile interceptor guns sweeping the sky, exploding all the cluster split missiles in mid-air.
Both sides were prepared early, and it depended on which side was more prepared!
"Time is running out, we must rush over immediately!"
The sound of helicopters' rotors blowing up the wind came from the sky, approaching at low altitude, and the next second the machine guns roared, attacking from a high position. The budding convoy could only rush forward under the gunfire, which was extremely dangerous.
Amid the gunfire, Ugar roared and ordered: "Release the graphite bombs!"
More than a dozen small graphite rockets soared into the sky and exploded in the helicopter group. Many helicopters suddenly began to fly crookedly. Graphite bombs can cause range-type circuit short circuits, which can more or less slow down some low-level robots. Technology is always improving in war.
"Mihawks, you will lead the assault troops immediately to attack the communication nodes of the opponent's position and the advanced machine soldiers to execute decapitation! Those are their core. Your mission is very critical. At least you have to divert the enemy's attention!" Ugar said in a deep voice on the intercom.
In a troop carrier, the sturdy Mihawks hummed lightly in response. He knew that this assault might be fatal, and he only hoped to achieve good results.
The role of superpowers on the battlefield is generally assault and decapitation.
This was the case in the previous war with humans, and it is also the case in the current war with Thunderfire Sword, plain and simple.
The reason for fighting with humans like this is that Mengya cannot defeat the six countries head-on, and the same is true for fighting with Thunderfire Sword. Moreover, it is too bad to exchange one flesh body for a machine. Destroying the opponent's communication nodes and paralyzing them in batches is the only way out.
Just like in the movie about the end of the world of machines, a hero throws a bomb to destroy the intelligent brain to solve all problems. What Mengya wants to do most now is to kill the Dark Lord and paralyze all robots.
On the other side of the Thunderfire Sword position, the scene of a large-scale war shocked Mingyue Changzhong, Flash Fried Rice, and Jiang Yuluo from the logistics troops. The tense atmosphere, the smell of gunpowder, and the roar of artillery fire, all showed that they were not capable of participating in it at this level.
"Just now, the missile hit me, and I thought I was going to die." Flash Fried Rice patted his chest with a face full of fear.
Mingyue Changzhong smiled bitterly: "Just deliver the supplies honestly, we can't handle those combat missions."
Jiang Yuluo's face was cold, and his tone was firm, "I want to try."
"We only have a few small pistols, what can we do?"
"I want to try."
"Forget it, we'll just deliver."
"I want to try."
Mingyue Changzhong and Shanguang Chaofan looked at each other helplessly.
Forget it, the players are just playing around, they're not really dead, let's go together.
...
Mengya knew that he had no advantage in firepower at all, the advantage of the Thunder Fire Sword was getting bigger and bigger, the average quality of the individual soldiers was incomparable, and the enemy's cost was very low. Generally, this kind of intelligent robot chip should be quite valuable, theoretically more expensive than human life.
But it seems that only advanced robots on the opposite side have relatively precious accessories, and ordinary soldiers are like worthless iron men, and it doesn't matter how many they kill.
It may be some evil alien black technology, anyway, I can't understand it.
Fortunately, the soldiers on our side are not valuable, so they can be consumed.
In fact, this battle could be fought thanks to the fact that among the generals on the opposite side, only the evil Duanmu Yan liked to release Heavenly Justice during the battle, and generally used it to destroy buildings in positional battles, not directly to attack people. After Han Xiao was replaced, Han Xiao pushed forward little by little, mostly to capture prisoners, and never used it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight with nuclear bombs all the time.
Mengya guessed that on the one hand, the enemy wanted to maximize their interests and capture more prisoners, and on the other hand, maybe... they were not strong enough, had their own bottom line and did not want to massacre?
No, no, no, how is it possible? We humans are so evil, so aliens must be even more evil. The Dark Lord must not want to expose his cruel side and confront the six countries in advance.
So cunning!
…
Mihawks drove a heavy motorcycle to avoid a series of attacks, but triggered a jumping mine, and the motorcycle was blown up. He ran with his legs, and his speed was not less than the motorcycle, shuttled through the rain of bullets, and in the military briefcase under his armpit was a single-soldier bomb with great power. His task was to deliver this bomb to the position of the advanced robots, and try to exchange one for many. He would definitely not survive if he rushed in.
After fighting so many battles with Thunder Fire Sword, Mengya did not gain nothing. At least he figured out the command mode of Thunder Fire Sword, which was almost all composed of evil robots, with clear and strict levels.
The strength of ordinary low-level soldiers starts from the regular army level of the six countries. Some middle-level soldiers who seem to be old models are stronger. They are no longer produced and are currently distributed in various settlements.
Elite soldiers basically have individual strength above level E, and their numbers are relatively rare. Killing one can temporarily paralyze the actions of hundreds or even tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, waiting for the disconnection and reconnection. If they succeed once, it will be a win-because Gu Meng does not always micro-control the entire army.
It can be done, but it is a bit tiring.
He delegates authority to all levels of intelligence, and gives Han Xiao temporary commander-level authority-lower than Gu Meng's absolute authority, and in fact lower than the other cadres, because the others are the real ones.
And Han Xiao is not capable of doing everything at once. He is not a great mechanic of that level yet. He needs to pass down general orders to all levels of intelligence.
Back to the topic, Mihawks is stronger than Pan Kuang before, probably a weak D-level, and is also a martial artist, and very tanky. He can withstand a few rounds of general artillery fire and rockets, but if he wants to take on the army of the Aquamarine Star, he must accumulate from quantitative change to qualitative change. The C-level is the watershed, but the D-level is also very successful for assault and decapitation.
Han Xiao, who was playing Total War remotely at this time, noticed this special enemy hero unit. He felt that he was a bit flexible and very tanky, so he decided to send the toughest combat robots to block him. As long as this kind of death squad is not replaced too much by him, the victory or defeat will not affect the overall situation.
Suddenly, he noticed something.
"Player? Can you advance to the middle of the battlefield? This is where the artillery fire is concentrated. Can a new player do this?"
It was not Jiang Yuluo and the others, who were still fighting hard on the edge.
"Furious Blade... familiar ID, a high-level player of the martial arts department in the previous life... but not to the point of being... Oh, it's Duanmu Yan, he's here."
Han Xiao was relieved and did not deploy troops again.
In his opinion, General Duanmu had arrived, and it was obvious that Mihawks was already dead.
