Chapter 24 1.24 Ambush

Although the midsummer of September has not yet dissipated, it is not so hot in the mountains.

However, the autumn dryness of the people coming out of Ji'an City is getting worse. Because they have been trapped in a battlefield that seems to be a "glue-infused swamp" for half a month.

At this moment, on a section of the mountain road suitable for ambush, the beastmasters Zeng He and Fang Hong, both wearing woolen clothes, were hiding from something beside their mechanical war beasts. In front of the mechanical war beast, another dragon horse fell to the ground.

The head of this dragon horse has completely exploded. The kinetic energy of the sniper bullet was released on the head of the carbon-based creature, which had a completely shredded effect. Because it had just been killed, it was still twitching, and the muscles behind the anus lost control, and feces were gushing out.

A few seconds later, it seemed that they felt that the surroundings were not so dangerous, and the two beastmasters asked the accompanying soldiers to go to the front to drag the dead dragon horse.

After taking back the dragon horse's body, the mechanical war beast opened its big mouth and swallowed it. The belly of the mechanical war beast, which was protected by the iron armor of the lobster ring shell structural steel, bulged.

Half an hour later, the mechanical monster vomited out a meat egg. After the meat egg was broken, a new dragon horse broke out of the shell. The newborn dragon horse was still trembling after its birth, and it couldn't wait to swallow the meat egg shell and the surrounding plants.

At this time, 750 meters away, Wei Keng, who was wearing dried green grass, observed the situation of the beastmaster convoy through the 4-9 times free zoom lens of the sniper rifle, and had no intention of continuing to shoot.

Two hundred meters to the left of the sniper position, Wei Keng over there was using flag language to communicate with the artillery position 400 to 500 meters behind. In other words, once the sniper encountered any problems, they could directly report the artillery position to the mortar group.

But so far, the intensity of the war has not reached the level of allowing the artillery to go up.

The work of outpost operations is to delay the opponent and constantly waste the opponent's time.

…

Facing the opponent's advance, Wei Keng's main force has already made observations at several passes and made initial arrangements in advance. Although the enemy will not take the initiative to hit this pocket formation under normal intelligence, what if they are mentally retarded? For example: a French roller enthusiast clearly sent a radio order to turn in. So, try to prepare as much as possible within the strategic time.

As for the task on the front line, it is to keep an eye on which road the opponent will take.

Wei Keng's strategic brain: If the enemy does not take the pass and chooses an area with a width of at least one thousand meters to advance, this small battle group with only twenty carriages will have to take a three or four hundred kilometers of curved roads. So now it is right for the harassment team to kill these masters' horses.

Use what kind of tactics to face what kind of opponent. If the enemy is a military force with a strong fighting will and rapid artillery counterattack. Wei Keng's sniper team will shoot at multiple sniper locations at the same time, and directly snipe its leader, or other high-value targets, and move immediately after firing a shot to prevent the opponent from determining the position based on the sound and covering the mortar fire.

But now? ~

There is a joke, a soldier reported to the officer: There is a sniper over there, but his shooting is very bad, and he couldn't hit us for several days in a row. Officer: Since you found him, why don't you kill him immediately. Soldier: Then what if they change to someone with more accurate shooting skills?

The above joke is the situation that Wei Keng is facing, except that the sniper with "bad" shooting skills is on the opposite side. Now Wei Keng has made Fang Hong and Zeng He's march less than five kilometers a day, which is a disaster for the army responsible for the offensive mission.

Anyway, Wei Keng's stay in this plane has been extended to 300 days, so there is time to waste.

Just like cooking meat with water over a slow fire, attack their means of transportation, and at least give them some mobility to collect water sources around and find firewood. Control the fire to prevent them from jumping off the wall.

As an ordinary person, Wei Keng knows deeply what will happen if he enters the state of procrastination. As he procrastinated, he changed from "how many places will I improve to in the next exam" to "it's better to take the exam later" and "the exam results will be released later".

If you wait for time without a plan, you will eventually accomplish nothing.

As for Wei Keng, the new steelmaking furnace has melted the rail steel, the brine on the beach is also drying, and the tasks on the schedule are advancing every day.

…

Back to the battlefield, seeing that the opponent is so bad, it is easy to delay. They can't actually approach Wei Keng's area without taking some important passes. And if they take the pass at this speed, Wei Keng can give them a pocket formation.

So, when you wait, you can create opportunities when there is no opportunity. Wei Keng deliberately gave up some corner fighters and waited patiently with them.

In the observation position,

Wei Keng was also very interested in these mechanical war beasts. Originally thought that this was just a fusion of machinery and biology, with a strong recovery ability.

But when he found that this thing could actually devour corpses, Wei Keng was very curious about this scene.

Of course, after the system introduction, this is not a resurrection, but a new individual is created based on the wreckage.

The dragon horse that was vomited out is actually not a dragon horse in good condition. As soon as it came out, it ate a lot of surrounding plants and trees.

And this is regenerated under the life radiation of the mechanical beast, and the mechanical beast also consumes energy in this process. Therefore, every time the mechanical beast "recasts" the dragon horse, it will be as listless as masturbating seven times a night.

After understanding the details of this process.

Wei Keng: "I kill the horse, you build it, I kill, you build it again, we will work in this mode. I consume a few bullets, you consume time and energy."

However, if the people of Ji'an City really follow this mode and slowly fail like a computer AI, it would be abnormal.

People often take advantage of the cards in their hands and jump once!

...

In the afternoon, when the newborn dragon horse barely pulled the cart, the two beastmasters did not move forward.

In the slowly setting sun, the two of them had a heated discussion.

Because they were too far away, it was unclear what they were talking about. Wei Keng thought that this was a discussion about "advance or retreat".

After the two discussed. It seemed that they had reached some conclusion.

Zeng He walked to his dragon-shaped war beast and closed his eyes to resonate with it.

A few minutes later, an egg was produced at the tail of the huge mechanical dragon beast. After the eggshell was opened, a pigeon flew out. The two tied the letter to the pigeon's leg and then released it.

Wei Keng had difficulty aiming at this small target that was flying by, so he could only let it fly past. But Wei Keng here notified himself who was stalking near Ji'an City. And the combat decision-making circle took out the "attack reinforcements" plan.

In this plan, a capable team was sent to start interspersing the rear to observe which road the reinforcements would take. So that his large force could move to the appropriate position to intercept and kill first.

However, Wei Keng here was calculating how much force Ji'an City would send out of the city again. Over there, things changed again

The outpost responsible for keeping an eye on Zeng He and Fang Hong's team discovered a new situation.

Wei Keng was on duty with night vision goggles at 8 o'clock in the evening, and suddenly found that the two beastmasters were moving tonight.

Ten minutes later, it was determined that their entire convoy seemed to have fed something to Longma and moved quickly. Wei Keng had determined that these two guys were going to make a big advance under the cover of night.

Good guy, Wei Keng was directly good guy, like a mobile game player who caught a money-making bug, and immediately greeted his reserve team who had been on standby through the system's communication system.

Don't worry about when to attack the reinforcements, you can eat meat tonight!

In the rear camp, Wei Keng's team of 200 people immediately set up camp.

As for where the other side wants to penetrate? Wei Keng doesn't even need to look at the map. He marches at night, and he drives a carriage. If he walks on the mountain road, he will roll down the cliff. If they don't escape, there is only one way ahead.

So, Wei Keng arrived at the area two hours in advance and set up an ambush.

...

Zeng He sat in the carriage, and the window was a quiet night. All the dragon horses now had their eye sockets enlarged in the opening and closing of their head bones to receive more light, and all the personnel also moved silently with wooden balls in their mouths.

The mountains were like a creeping beast in the night, retreating little by little, and as the mountains continued to move, new mountains appeared in front. As they moved forward, the mountains in front were getting closer and closer, and gradually the convoy entered it. The dark shadows of the mountains on both sides sandwiched the convoy, like a beast opening its mouth.

Somehow, Zeng He felt uneasy. Although she urged to act quickly during the daytime debate, it did not mean that she was completely sure. Her heart had been pounding since the night march.

Fang Hong started to speak first. After the beastmaster looked at the surrounding terrain, he said in a low voice: "This is not a good place."

Zeng He stuck his head out of the window and looked at it. He agreed: "If we arrive here during the day, there must be an ambush on the mountains on both sides. We have to pass through here quickly."

She gestured to the soldiers on the periphery. The soldier put his finger to his lips and simulated the call of a night owl. Then the team began to speed up.

…

At the same time, Wei Keng on the top of the mountain watched the convoy speed up and drill into the pocket formation regardless of anything. His originally tense heart was raised to a new height.

This, for anything that is not in the pocket, the closer to the result, the faster Wei Keng's heartbeat.

Wei Keng did not have the ventriloquism to imitate the bird's call to send a signal, but he had a system to relay the message.

As early as when delaying Fang Hong's team, Wei Keng's team had dug trenches on both sides of the hillside at some important ambush locations along the way. So after getting the information, they rushed here in advance and could immediately enter the battlefield.

As the adventurers in Ji'an City were completely trapped, Wei Keng, the "stable dog", finally output the "big card" in his hand.

More than 30 old rubber wheels filled with hay were ignited and rolled down the hillside. The fire illuminated the position of the convoy in the valley, and also chilled the hearts of Fang Hong and Zeng He's team.

"Pah pah pah..." With twenty gunshots, all the animal power of the convoy fell to the ground again. This time, it was not just one or two. In the current terrain, Wei Keng felt that they could keep them all at the lowest cost.

"Counterattack!" Fang Hong took the lead in issuing a command order while Zeng He was still in a daze.

The water-cooled heavy machine gun in the carriage opened fire, and the bullets hit the positions on the hillsides on both sides, emitting a lot of smoke. Of course, wherever the bullets were fired, Wei Keng lowered his head. Wherever the machine guns left, Wei Keng would appear and fire.

A water-cooled heavy machine gun is heavier than a general-purpose machine gun, but its firepower is more sustained. If it weren't for the current advantage of occupying the high ground on both sides, Wei Keng really wouldn't be able to control casualties.

The 60 mortar on the top of the hill opened fire. In the trajectory marked by the system, the shells accurately landed on the first carriage and penetrated into it. Then the whole carriage exploded in the flames, and the heavy machine gun on the carriage was broken into several parts on the spot, and flew out 20 meters away with the wreckage of the car body.

The firepower sweeping the hillside suddenly decreased, and the other machine gunners also panicked and began to look for where the artillery came from.

At this time, a voice sounded in the valley, which Wei Keng thought was well-spoken, but to this place, it was obviously a northern accent to persuade surrender: "We have occupied an absolute advantage in terrain and have artillery that can destroy you. Now it is your only chance to lay down your weapons and surrender to us. If you resist stubbornly, you will only perish."

Zeng He raised his head and looked at the flashing torches all over the mountains and fields. He felt that his 150-man army was too small.

In fact, Wei Keng's ambush team was only 200 people, but after relying on the mountain terrain, it looked like the encirclement was very large. Of course, her feeling was not wrong. It was indeed impossible for thousands of people to rush up.

After Wei Keng's shouting, the team had obviously lost the will to resist, and the gunshots had been scattered.

Boom boom, the huge mechanical war beast launched a charge. The fighting will of a person may disappear, but the mechanical war beast controlled by the beastmaster will never be like this. As a beastmaster, Fang Hong did not want to admit the current failure, so he put his last card on it.

Looking at this steel behemoth that ignored the rain of bullets, Wei Keng gave praise in his heart.

If these people in the valley still had the will to fight, relying on this heavy semi-mechanical biochemical unit, and carrying out infantry-tank coordinated tactics. I might really be in a bit of trouble. But now, this lonely thing rushed up and had no threat.

The sniper shot first, and the bullet blinded the behemoth's eyes. Of course, for its tyrannical vitality, it was only a short-term blindness. Wei Keng knew that this thing could repair the eyes.

[In fact, if you dissect this giant beast, you will find that there are multiple sets of eyes under the eye sockets, just like grape tumors. When the outermost eye is damaged, another one will turn up within ten minutes, and then the nerves will emerge and connect with the brain's nervous system like worms. It takes an average of half a month to grow such an eye, so it is not possible to regenerate on the spot as Wei Keng thought. ]

At the moment, Wei Keng does not expect to use sniper bullets to kill this giant beast with Max repair power, and of course he does not expect the bullets of the submachine gun to wear away the blood skin bit by bit. All the vital parts of this war beast are blocked by the steel shell.

Wei Keng is sure that he has not considered it carefully. He has to go back to study the double-base propellant and the concave charge. The iron fist is still needed.

Now, the Wei Kengs on the hillside suddenly opened fire and suppressed the machine guns under the mountain.

Then, several Wei Kengs ran down through the trench, went around the traffic trench to the side of the giant beast, and smashed the pottery jar with burning cloth strips in their hands directly at the head of the giant beast.

Morovsky cocktail, this is the fine wine that armored forces always have to taste.

After throwing the fire pot, defender Keng hid in the corner of the Z-shaped trench, and the flames covered the whole body of the giant beast.

A few minutes later, the high temperature of the burning destroyed the giant beast's muscles to open the mechanical cover and trigger the gun. Moreover, because this metal armor has good thermal conductivity, when the flame continues to burn, some oil flows out from the gap inside the iron plate, crackling.

In the end, these armored monsters stepped into the air in the trench of the third section of the slope defense line. After the mechanical claws fluttered a few times and crushed a few pieces of soil on the edge of the trench, they fell to their knees in the deep pit and could not get up.

And at the bottom of the hillside, Fang Hong and his soldiers, who originally pinned their hopes on the war beast as the decisive unit. After raising their heads in the fire suppression, they found that the war beast was finished, the last hope was shattered, and the morale was wiped out. A white flag was hung high from the carriage.

At the same time, in the mayor's room of Ji'an City, the kumquats in the pots were ripe, but after one fell off, there was not much flesh inside, like cotton wool.
