Chapter 182 The showdown between miracles and cannonballs
Jiayuguan is now the northwest gateway of the Ming Dynasty.
It seems like there are two worlds inside and outside the pass.
The inside of the pass represents civilization and order, while the outside of the pass represents barbarism and bloodthirsty.
Third, when Xu Da arrived here, he happened to encounter a large-scale alien beast siege on a section of the city wall. He was dispatched half a day earlier than Xu Da. Shen Yue, who had just received the task of changing defenses, was also the first to arrive. Once when an alien beast attacked the city, he arranged a hundred of his men at the mission location and couldn't help but stand at the crenellation of the city wall and curiously used a telescope to explore the situation outside.
On the ground in the distance outside, there are hundreds of small alien beasts slowly coming towards the pass here.
Behind him, at the fort position, the roar of cannons sounded continuously. From time to time, cannonballs would fall into the herd of animals on the opposite side, exploding into clouds of mushroom clouds.
However, these strange beasts did not panic, and remained firm in their footsteps, slowly attacking Jiayuguan Pass.
Shen Yue used a telescope to look closely at the alien beasts that were attacking in groups, and soon discovered that these alien beast groups were basically composed of three kinds of alien beasts.
A type similar to an elephant, with extremely thick scales on its body. These guys are slow, but the scales on their bodies obviously have strong defensive power.
This should be the vanguard of these small alien beasts, similar to the role of a tank.
Behind it were two other strange beasts.
One is a small snake with wings, and the other is a four-armed beast similar to an orangutan.
Apparently these guys were using the elephants as cover.
Such a neat group of small alien beasts reminded Shen Yue of the tank-centered assault force formation they had trained.
Although one is biological and the other is mechanical, they have similar approaches but similar effects.
"Brother, what's the situation now?" Shen Yue asked another Baihu next to him who was also responsible for the defense task.
The other party has been on duty here for two years and is much more experienced than him.
"What brother is practicing is the "Indestructible Magic Art", right?" The hundred households looked at Shen Yue up and down and asked with a smile.
"That's right, my entire team is practicing the "Indestructible Magic Art"." Shen Yue nodded.
The current Ming Dynasty's new army has formed many types based on their own wishes and the needs of the army, based on the three cultivation methods of "Vajra Indestructible Magic", "Hegemonic True Skill" and "Hunyuan Jin".
Troops with different functions.
Just like their hundred-man team, known as the King Kong Team.
He is a ninth-grade martial artist, and one hundred of his subordinates are Huajin masters, all of whom practice the "Indestructible Magic Art of the Vajra."
If a war really breaks out in the future, they should be the defensive legion in the most dangerous area.
The hundred households nodded clearly after hearing this and said: "The same goes for us. To be precise, the same is true for the troops who are currently on the city gate for defense tasks."
When he said this, he pointed down and said: "The guy in front is called the Linjiaxiang, and the ones hidden behind it are the winged snake and the four-armed ape."
"The Scaly Elephants can only be dealt with by artillery. Machine guns cannot break through their defenses at all. This thing is the target of artillery, and even if it reaches the city wall, it will not pose any threat to us."
"What we really have to be careful about is the winged snake and the four-armed ape behind."
"Of these two strange beasts, one has great strength and can throw javelins with damn accuracy. Several of my brothers were hit by these beasts with javelins and were killed on the spot just because they were right."
"Did you see the bags on both sides of the Linjia Elephant? It contains a javelin that the four-armed ape can throw. This thing is so powerful that even if you and I were hit by a shot from the front, we would either die or be injured."
Shen Yue couldn't help but shuddered when she heard that the opposing team had suffered casualties.
You must know that their team participated in the mission to conquer the Jiajing plane. They fought there for more than three years but not a single person was killed.
"Then there are winged snakes. This kind of strange beast is extremely fast in short distances, has the ability to fly short distances, and carries poisonous poison. When they get close enough to the city wall, they will suddenly launch a very fast attack. For us Apart from frontal resistance, there is currently no other way."
"Also... brothers must always be vigilant in the sky. There are also flying guys among the alien beasts. Although those guys are blocked by planes, you still have to be careful that they break through the aircraft defense line and suddenly launch an attack on the city wall..."
After hearing the other party's explanation, Shen Yue nodded solemnly.
I became more and more vigilant in my heart.
Obviously this battle may be more difficult than he imagined.
Finally, after withstanding round after round of shelling, the alien beasts finally approached about two miles outside the city wall with a 70% reduction in strength.
"Suppressive fire!"
"Be careful of javelin attacks!" Marin, who was in charge of the defense of this section of the city wall from afar, shouted loudly.
"Da da da da!" Following his order, countless machine guns on the city wall sprayed out tongues of fire, attacking the herds led by the Kirin-armored elephants.
However, as that Baihu said, even if a machine gun with heavy firepower is fired at those big guys, it will leave nothing but sparks.
"Molotov cocktail!" Marin shouted again.
"Huhuhu!" As his voice fell, countless Molotov cocktails were thrown out from the city wall.
Thanks to the strength of all the warriors of the Ming Dynasty's new army, these Molotov cocktails were thrown extremely accurately, and a sea of fire defense line was instantly formed in front of the scaly elephants.
These big guys looked huge, but they were not very courageous. For a moment, they were blocked by the sea of fire and did not dare to step forward.
"Mortar these sons of bitches to death!" Marin shouted again.
"Miracles!" However, at this moment, a low but majestic syllable suddenly sounded from the undulating dense forest behind him.
There was obviously only one syllable, but everyone understood what he meant immediately.
This is a miracle.
And as the miracle came, the eyes of the scaled beasts that were originally full of fear suddenly turned red, and they roared and charged towards the city wall.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" When they were still one and a half miles away from the city wall, countless javelins were suddenly marked out behind the scaled beasts.
Obviously this is the action of the four-armed apes who are still alive.
"Shield protection!" Marin's voice suddenly became cold and serious.
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" Shen Yue hid under the shield raised by more than a dozen Huajin masters, feeling the huge force coming from it from time to time, and finally had an idea of the power of the javelins of those four-armed apes. A clearer understanding.
It can hurt the ninth-level martial artist and kill the master of Huajin.
At the same time, he was also observing the situation outside through the crenellations of the city wall without blinking, because he knew that the other party had more than that.
Shen Yue's prediction was correct. Just a few minutes later, a shrill scream sounded like a night owl calling in spring. At this time, countless winged snakes shot out from behind the scale beast and launched an attack on the city wall.
"Machine gun fire, brothers, prepare to defend against the enemy!" Shen Yue said in a deep voice.
Although the rain of javelins in the sky has not stopped yet, it is obviously impossible to hide anymore.
They have a greater threat.
"Kill!" Everyone drew out their swords, threw off their shields, and charged into the attack with the winged snakes.
"I didn't expect the battle here to be so difficult!" Xu Da was also watching the battle on a section of the city wall.
To be honest, he couldn't accept it for a while when he saw that there were only about tens of thousands of strange beasts and that a single charge could cause casualties to the Ming Dynasty's new army.
After all, throughout the Jiajing Dynasty's war, they maintained zero casualties!
Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Times have changed, Xu Shuai!"
"These organized and large-scale groups of exotic beasts are only stronger than the Western armies we encountered in the late Qing Dynasty."
"Especially when these strange beasts are personally commanded by divine envoys."
"Did you hear that divine voice just now? It was those divine envoys who were causing trouble!"
"If there weren't those divine envoys controlling these strange beasts, I would have killed all the strange beasts hundreds of miles around. How could I have been hiding here for more than ten years!"
"But today is indeed a bit unusual."
"Usually, even if those divine envoys are watching the battle from a distance, they dare not make a sound, because as long as he activates his miracle, the academicians of our Academy of Sciences can quickly locate his location."
"They have already suffered big losses several times because of this."
"I didn't expect that I would dare to show my miracle in public today."
Geng Bingwen couldn't help but sneer when he said this, and said to Xu Da: "Now the bomber group has taken off to search for the location of the divine envoy. Since he dares to perform miracles in public and cause casualties to our soldiers, he will have to pay the price with blood..." "
At this moment, on a mountain road four or five miles away from Jiayuguan, more than twenty foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes wearing armor were leaving quickly, surrounding a young man in white robes.
"Cornell, you are a little reckless!"
"The mission of those alien beasts is to consume the enemy's ammunition reserves. You don't need to activate the miracle at all."
"Don't forget, God asked you to come here to gather strange beasts to prepare for a possible general attack in the future.
Rather than letting you perform miracles so unscrupulously."
"Do you know that if you do this, you will expose our position and bring danger to all of us." Beside the white-robed young man, among the more than 20 people, a middle-aged man whose armor was obviously more gorgeous said in a deep voice.
"snort!"
"Owen, you have to understand your position. You are just the sergeant major of the Holy Crusaders now, and I am the envoy of God.
I don’t need you to teach me how to do it.”
"Don't forget who you swore allegiance to."
Divine Envoy Cornel exuded a faint wave of divine power. He glanced sideways at the people behind him, then raised his head to look at the sky. A cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "Do you think I am just impulsive?"
"Stupid thing, I did this just to lure those iron lumps out."
"Just keep an eye on it, as long as those heavy iron lumps don't come out. If they really dare to come out, I will make sure they never come back!"
