Chapter 196: Easy yet Difficult Advancement

As the offensive pace on our side slowed down, the Japanese side quickly realized our changes. One of Nobunaga's subordinates said: "It seems like the Chinese are not going to pursue them anymore. Let the demolition team detonate the explosives now. Let's count as many as we can kill!"

"No." Red Lotus Phoenix heard what he said and quickly stopped him.

"Why?" the player said slightly unhappily: "The situation is obvious now. The Chinese have no intention of chasing us at all. They are probably sending people to check the city wall now. Once they discover the explosives we buried and If we remove it, all the preparations made before will be in vain!"

"Just because the Chinese were clearing the explosives, they couldn't detonate it."

"Is there something wrong with your head?" The player became even more angry after hearing Red Lotus Phoenix's answer. "We worked so hard to bury so many explosives just to cause some casualties to the Chinese, but you said let them demolish them. What do you mean? Let me tell you, although you still have some status in Japan, the ghost-handed Nobunaga-kun He is our leader, and even if he cannot command now, the command will not be yours."

"Baga! A bunch of guys with lard in their heads!" Red Lotus Phoenix jumped in front of the guy, pinched his neck and lifted him into the air. "Humph, I don't care about your useless command. You'd better not use your brains to measure my behavior. I don't let you detonate explosives just to buy time. Even if you don't have a brain, your eyes will always Are you not blind? Look at the situation outside. So many people are retreating from the front in a chaotic manner. Do you expect them to immediately form a line of defense to block the Chinese people there? Are you dreaming? Now that the Chinese It's just right that they discovered the explosives in the passage. It still takes time for them to dismantle the explosives. Before the explosives are completely removed, their large troops will not enter the passage at all, and We just took this opportunity to organize our troops and quickly form a new line of defense. If you detonate explosives now, at most you will kill some of their mine detection troops, but it will have no impact on the main force of the Chinese at all, and as soon as the explosives explode , the Chinese don’t even have to look for them, they can just drive all the way to the bottom of our city wall. What will you do to stop them then? Just rely on these defeated troops who have no command, no organization, and can’t even assemble a combat team?" Honglian After saying this, Fenghuang angrily threw the guy who had almost died by her to the ground, then turned to the others and said: "You can choose not to listen to me, but if our country is invaded by China because of this, If someone is defeated, which of you will bear the responsibility?"

The group of players who originally wanted to discuss the theory with the Red Lotus Phoenix were all scolded by this general training. They looked at Nobunaga, who was sitting on the ground with eyes as dull as a dead man, and all of them closed their eyes obediently. mouth. It is obvious now that Japanese players need a leader. Ghost Hand Nobunaga must not be counted on, and these people present do not have that ability. Although Honglian Phoenix is ​​not an insider to them, she is still Japanese after all, and she is usually active against the Chinese. People on the front line, so in the end these people decided to temporarily obey her command.

After gaining command, Red Lotus Phoenix immediately began to order the leaders of various small guilds to summon their men to reorganize the chaotic team of players. Of course, in addition to the players, the most important thing was to regroup the NPCs.

While the Japanese are racing against time to build a defense line, our side is not idle either. It seems that Little Japan suffered a lot of losses in Fulcrum City, otherwise the memory would not be so profound. This national passage, which was not long in the first place, was turned into a gunpowder warehouse by them. There were blasting points everywhere in the city wall, and all kinds of large and small explosives were stuffed everywhere. These scattered explosives force our search team to carefully search everywhere, and then notify the EOD team to come and defuse the bombs after determining the location. But there are two things that are pretty good for us. First, fortunately, there are more ghosts in our guild, so searching for explosives becomes much easier. Ghosts have no physical body and will not touch explosives, and can go in and out of buildings. Searching for explosives buried in walls or underground is much faster and safer than physical people. In addition to ghosts, we are also lucky that there are not as many high-tech equipment in the game as in reality, so the bombs made by the Japanese are also detonated using local methods. It does not have to be as troublesome as debugging bombs in reality, as long as it is not careless. If you know the location of the bomb in advance, you can basically eliminate it safely. However, not all bombs here are easier to eliminate.

Although most of the bombs installed by the Japanese are deployed by ordinary players or NPCs and can be defused by anyone, there are still a small number of bombs in key positions set by professional players such as thieves and hunters using specialized minelaying skills. . Not everyone can touch this kind of thunder deployed with specialized skills recognized by the system. Only thieves who know mechanism cracking skills can use their skills to dismantle it. Most people can't even think of touching it. These special mines are not only difficult to dismantle, but there are often magic traps mixed in them. In order to dismantle these mines, our guild lost more than thirty thieves to death. Fortunately, a player finally figured out a way to solve this problem. This player's method is to collect the equipment of players with high defense in the guild and temporarily lend it to thieves who defuse bombs. For example, things like my Shenlong suit can be used as explosion protection. Even if the mechanism is accidentally deactivated, it can be used at most. It's not that easy to blow someone up after being knocked unconscious. Of course, just relying on people to defuse them is actually not fast enough, but we can’t defuse all the bombs. Only bombs that play a guiding role in key positions and bombs that are too powerful will we go to great lengths to defuse. Generally, for small bombs that are scattered and buried, we directly let archers detonate them remotely after determining the location. This is comparable to bomb dismantling. Much faster.

While our side worked hard to deal with all the dangerous goods along the way and moved the army to the front of the last city wall, the Japanese finally reluctantly completed the work of rebuilding the defense line. Both sides have just prepared. The Japanese are nervous for fear that we will use some unconventional means to break through their defense line in one fell swoop. We are also cautious for fear that our previous efforts will be in vain. However, unlike the tense atmosphere on the Japanese side, we are actually not very worried because our task is to feign attack rather than break through, and we do not necessarily have to fight the Japanese to the end. Once the battles between other Chinese guilds in Fulcrum City begin, our side will become extremely relaxed.

"Military God, where are the other guilds in Fulcrum City?" I asked the Military God while standing on the city wall built by the Japanese and looking at the last wall on the opposite side.
