Chapter 273 Gambling and jumping over the wall

Twenty-seven versus five hundred, the first head-to-head confrontation came under the huge numerical difference between the two sides.

Screaming into the sky, barely an inch of skin was exposed under the metal armor, and the thick figures of the mammoths made the entire encounter area look like it was filled with black giant war beasts;

They were covered in heavy armor and held large shields. The semi-automatic hard crossbow made by the patrons on the arm armor was the long-range main weapon, and the hammer swinging on the proboscis was the medium-range secondary weapon;

As a result, hammers fell from the sky, arrows flew in the sky, and the mammoths rushed like a great tide, howling angrily. With only five hundred of them, they created a far greater sense of oppression than those in the three directions of east, west, and south.

But this kind of momentum, in the following time, was like being hit by a ball of cotton without any force;

On the attack level, for the elves who have turned on the totem protection, the mid- and long-distance attacks of the mammoth species seem to be out of reach, and only the chain ball causes limited interference in the combination of gravity and speed;

As for the action of 'rushing' itself, the elves who were too few in number chose to fight and retreat, maintaining a distance of 200 to 500 meters between the two sides, always sticking to them at a distance and following them, and

In the next two to three kilometers of the operation range, the wind blade was used to repeatedly harvest.

In short, the elves will never stick close unless necessary, because it is too inefficient, and it is easy for defensive loopholes to appear, and lead to the failure of the interception operation.

And when such a fighting concept was implemented, the mammoth species finally realized the embarrassment of being unable to use their strength. The embarrassment at other times might only cause embarrassment, but now this is a battlefield.

The screams were hoarse, but the endless cyan wind blades roared towards them like a heavy rain. Large shields were constantly being broken, and the sound of heavy armor shattering was heard, followed by 'giant beasts' running one after another.

Falling down one after another on the way;

Their bodies fell to the ground, and the heavy helmets on their bodies made heavy roars again and again.

But the mammoths showed no fear, and there seemed to be a sense of courage in their eyes. Even though their compatriots continued to die in a pool of blood, the latecomers continued to attack with their hammers covered in blood.

Unilateral killings and unilateral roars resounded throughout the world. The elves retreated in an orderly manner amidst the coldness and silence, maintaining the intensity of the attack in silence;

In the following time, the opponent's road to breakout almost turned into a dead end, and eventually led to the annihilation of all 500 mammoth warriors;

As for the elves, even if we include the besiegers who arrived during the process, the number has only reached 36.

The charge ended, and the roar of the wind blade finally stopped. Sporadic low moans of pain floated up from the bloody battlefield. The head and body were soaked in blood. There seemed to be unwilling souls roaring in the haze-filled air;

This is a road of blood that is more than one kilometer long, with corpses strewn across the field and blood flowing into rivers. The smell of blood floating in the air is like the smoke of gunpowder on battlefields in later generations, and the material is coated with a layer of blood under its rendering;

In the red haze, there seemed to be a pair of blood-red eyes flashing with ferocity and hatred even in death.

"Refill the gun."

Under the cold orders, one war machine after another drove into the hell on earth. They did not feel uncomfortable because of the bloody smell in the air. Perhaps they could not smell it, or they were accustomed to it. They always carried out the orders silently and coldly.

The order given by Feng.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout in Mammoth language from the front, and a bloody warrior jumped out of the pile of corpses.

A wild beast-like roar rang out from his throat, his thick proboscis curled around the war hammer, and he swung it without hesitation at an armored warrior who happened to be walking next to him.

He raised his arms to block, raised his gun to counterattack, and then there was a "whoosh" sound, and debris accompanied by blood was seen, and a small firework exploded in front of him.

'No problem?'

'No problem.'

'Okay, continue executing the order.'

'clear.'

~~~~~

This became 034 City's last attempt before nightfall. In the next ten or so hours, no decent breakout operation was launched.

Time passed slowly, and at about 18:00 in the afternoon, all the supporters of the nine base stations finally arrived.

At this time, the number of troops that can be directly mobilized by Cynthia increased to 232, including 78 combat armored soldiers and 123 reconnaissance armored soldiers. The 67 hunting and killing groups they formed were also the commanders of the nine base stations at this time.

'The sharpest knife in your hand;

Moreover, when the command base was completed through the efforts of Agatha and three engineers, a unified and powerful surveillance system covering a 2,000-kilometer radius area was established;

Although there is a delay due to distance, and although Cynthia as a warrior cannot fully exert its maximum effect, at least in the range of 300, 200, and 100 kilometers, any questionable upright unit will be in 30 light minutes and 20 light minutes.

, was mastered by her within 10 minutes, and then was unable to escape from the pursuit of the armored hunting group;

Of course, City 034, which is only ten kilometers away from the command base, is also completely included in the surveillance.

"Agatha, can you build some heavy cannons?"

"You! Okay. I'll work hard. If I do it all by hand, I should be able to build four doors before nightfall."

"Great! You are really good!"

"Humph~ Idiot, there are still cannonballs to make."

"The three doors?"

20 o'clock on the day;

The Republic airship formation arrived in the airspace 2,000 kilometers away from City 034 and officially entered the perception field of the command center.

22:30 on Sunday;

The sound signal reflection of the airship formation at 2,000 kilometers was captured by the command center, but the formation had continued forward and reached about 1,400 kilometers.

24:00 day and 0:00 night;

The formation is still 1,050 kilometers away from here.

Night 1:00-2:00;

The command center has thwarted several attempts from the city, but the scale of each sporadic breakout also made Cynthia wary. She believed that this was the enemy's plan to weaken the enemy, so she devoted more energy to monitoring the city.

.

Night 2:00-4:00;

The calm that lasted for two lights was just an appearance. Weapons were being distributed in the city and troops were being prepared. It seemed that the largest breakout operation was about to be launched.

4 o'clock at night;

The preparations in the city seemed to be about to be completed, and they seemed to be really preparing to concentrate all their forces and carry out a general breakout regardless of the situation;

In order to maintain a certain degree of mystery, our side has always maintained an ultra-long-distance blockade. This indeed delayed the opponent's reaction, but it also resulted in a relatively large defensive perimeter;

But now, facing City 034 who was ready to "fight", Cynthia had to order her subordinates to shrink inward.

As a result, 67 hunting groups began to gradually advance towards the city from an area ten kilometers away to reduce the defensive pressure in all directions.

Nine kilometers. Eight kilometers.

With the help of the Ancestral Altar, the higher-ups in 034 intuitively sensed the enemy for the second time, and for the first time for a long time, and misunderstood that the opponent was about to attack, so they temporarily gave up on breaking out directly and planned to rely on the altar to defend the wave.

;

Seven kilometers. Five kilometers. One kilometer.

The night gave the elves the best cover, and even the outlines of the armor on their bodies were obscured by darkness;

Under the command of Cynthia, the hunting group always controlled the speed of their own progress. They created and maintained deterrence while delaying as much time as possible;

Cynthia knew that at the moment when the airship formation was approaching rapidly, the longer time delayed, the more beneficial it would be to her side;

Relatively speaking, facing the enemy's mindless charge without hesitation is full of the possibility of accidents.

4:25 p.m.;

The delay seems to have reached its limit, the speed at which the hunting team closed the net, and the too coincidental start time of the operation made 034's top management finally aware of the enemy's purpose.

;

As a result, the suspended breakout operation started again, but due to the need for rearrangement and other reasons, some time was once again 'bought' for the elves.

Around 4:30 p.m.;

When the hunting team had advanced to one kilometer outside the wall, the two city lords finally officially issued the order of "general breakout" in frustration.

However, almost everything in the city was under Cynthia's "sight", so she naturally noticed the movement inside at the first time;

Later, with more effort, he further mastered the specific deployment in all directions, which resulted in almost no secrecy in the mobilization of 034's troops.

To the west, there are 300 foreign warriors and 3,000 foreign old and weak, a multi-racial mixed force;

To the east, there are 200 foreign warriors and 3,000 old and weak, also a multi-racial mixed formation;

To the south, there are 500 mammoths, 2,000 foreign warriors, and more than 10,000 old, weak, and young. Judging from the scale, it seems to be a large force responsible for confusing the public;

To the north, there are 3,500 mammoths and 5,000 foreign warriors, none of whom are old or weak;

The point of his military attack seems to be extremely clear

So, while Cynthia ordered the hunting team to prepare more strength on the north and south lines, she also asked the soldiers to compress the distance to 800 meters for the last time, thereby continuing to reduce the defensive perimeter to prevent being attacked by the enemy at this last moment.

breakthrough.

4:33 p.m.;

The enemy left the city, and their layout in each direction did not change significantly in these few minutes;

Based on feedback from the formation's racial composition, reserve strength and other information, Cynthia once again confirmed her breakout strategy of "mainly in the north, auxiliary in the south, and enchanted in the east and west", and thus officially ordered the hunting group, which was moving slowly at half speed, to carry out the previous execution at full speed.
To be continued...
