Starting From Zero

Chapter 30 Looking at the Wall and Sighing

"Will our losses be too great if this continues?" Tanaka Shota asked carefully.

Masamoto Matsumoto shook his head: "The Chinese just want us to be afraid. They want us to be afraid of their artillery, and they want us to invest our troops cautiously, but we can't do this. We must let the first attack wave rush onto the city wall, and then control it. Artillery positions, and then our large forces close in across the board. This is the fighting method we need most."

"But……!"

"No buts." Masamoto Matsumoto stared at Isinger without blinking. "We have already paid too much for it and we must not relax at this time."

"That's good." The shadow dancer wearing a ghost mask appeared next to Matsumoto Masaru again. "We must destroy Isengard."

"Whatever the cost?"

"No matter the cost."

Matsumoto Masagi's direct order is still very authoritative, especially when the shadow dancers and Russians as external forces, as well as the Tianzhao clone representing the divine power, all agree with this point of view. A large number of Japanese troops charged towards Qiang regardless of the cost, treating Essinger's defense as nothing.

The charging lineup of one hundred thousand troops is so huge. What we see on Essinger is a long black barrier approaching us. Fortunately, our artillery fire is constantly making holes in this barrier.

"Honey, look at the back." I was watching the charge of the soldiers on the front line, but Rose suddenly pulled me to look at Isinger's back.

I turned my head in confusion but saw nothing. Ying and the others also turned back and looked, but of course they saw nothing just like me. "What did you see?" I asked Rose in confusion.

"Over there." Rose handed me the telescope. "There is a white track in front of the city port lock."

"I don't need this." I pushed away the telescope and directly used the star pupil to enlarge the field of view, while Ying Ying and General Wu all picked up the telescope and looked over.

"Use torpedoes against the port!" General Wu suddenly shouted.

I quickly took out the leaves of the city tree. "City Tree, there are torpedoes behind us heading towards the port, pay attention to defense. Don't open a hole in the city wall for me at this time!"

The defense facilities on the back of Essinger that had not been opened suddenly activated, and then two magic light cannons rose up. After two beams of white light flashed, two huge and incredible water columns rose from the water.

"This is not a torpedo attack on the fortress." Ying saw the doorway. "This is a super torpedo specially made for us. How can ordinary torpedoes be so powerful?"

General Wu also nodded: "This is a specially made super torpedo. Such a large torpedo is not used to deal with warships and ports. Xiaorb may have put the rocks you mentioned into it."

"It's a magic crystal." Sumei reminded.

"Yes, it's magic crystal. Are Japanese people very rich? Didn't you say that magic crystal is very expensive? I really don't understand why they use magic crystal as explosives." General Wu shook his head. I can't understand the strange behavior of rb people.

"Theoretically speaking, the investment in weapons and equipment has always been very high, but the overall value must also be considered." Rose shook her head: "But the behavior of the RB people is indeed very strange."

"Two more over there... No, no, eight." Ah Wei suddenly made a new discovery.

Bai Ling said: "The Japanese have a submarine in the strait ahead, and it's a big one."

"You can't be beaten so passively." I informed City Tree again. "Load the depth charge on the launcher and launch it at any time upon my command."

The defensive weapons on the walls of Essinger opened fire again. Another burst of light beams intercepted all eight torpedoes. But a torpedo appeared in the distance again, and this time I saw the location of the torpedo very clearly. "Target: 1,600 meters directly in front of the No. 16 projectile, covering the throw."

The metal locking rods on both sides of the super-large ejector on the top of Essinger's base layer facing the sea suddenly bounced to both sides, and the huge spoon-like ejector loaded with more than 300 bombs violently It bounced up and the bomb was thrown out. A large number of bombs formed a dense coverage area in the air, and then crashed down at the location I designated. After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was a sudden rolling under the water, and countless waves rolled up. Then the entire surface of the water rose up and then suddenly fell down again. But just as the water surface dropped a little, it suddenly rose again. And this time it completely erupted. The sea water shot hundreds of meters into the air like a fountain. The flying sea water formed a beautiful rainbow in the sky, but only large pieces of wood and some dead bodies rolled up on the sea surface.

"Okay, the annoying mosquitoes have been solved. Let's take a look at the efficiency of the Japanese regular army here." I turned back to look at the Japanese troops on the battlefield here, but what surprised me was that the Japanese had already reached the coast. Side. "These ninjas are really fast."

"It doesn't matter. They won't be able to reach the water any faster next time, so that's the target of our bombardment." Eagle proudly looked at the sea and waited for Little Rb to swim in the water. But the result did not develop in the direction Ying thought.

Not all RB ninjas can use water escape. But these are the ninja soldiers currently attacking. I have said before that ninja soldiers are a branch of arms between samurai and ninjas. They know very few types of ninjutsu, and they are all relatively low-level simple ninjutsu. Although these ninjutsu are of low level, the ninjutsu of ninja soldiers are all considered for actual combat. The first one to bear the brunt is water escape, which is one of the must-learn ninjutsu for ninja soldiers. Troops will inevitably need to cross rivers and wade in battles, and it will be much easier with the water escape technique. So now all these ninja soldiers know this trick.

We were all stunned for a moment when we saw the hundreds of thousands of ninja soldiers rushing to the coast running over the water as if they were on land. But it soon returned to normal. We had thought of Ninja soldiers being able to escape through water before. Although we had forgotten about it for a while, it was not too surprising.

Ying said a little anxiously: "If this continues, won't they soon be under the city wall?" Ying asked me and looked straight at me, only to see a strange smile on my face. "why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at the Japanese people for being so naive. Can they get by just because they can walk on water?"

"Do you have any way to stop them?" General Wu turned around and asked after hearing my words.

"It's actually very simple, but I don't plan to use this trick."

"Why?"

"Because I'm afraid that I'll scare the little guys away and they won't be able to get to Isengard. Then our Seven Spiritual Dust Bell will be completely useless."

"Yes, that makes sense. But I really want to hear your method." General Wu still wants to hear my strategy.

Rose smiled and said: "Actually, Ziri's idea is very simple."

"you know?"

"Yes." Rose said: "We Essinger are in the sea now. Although the city cannot move, the suspension device is still intact. As long as we raise the city a little bit and then come down again, the waves caused by the light can take these people away. Fight back to the shore. This is what Ziri told us at the beginning to insist on rushing into the sea no matter what. As long as we go into the water, no amount of troops can rush us."

"It's indeed a good idea." Ying nodded deeply. When Essinger's thruster was damaged and fell into the sea, the huge waves caused all the personnel on both sides to be submerged in the water. The eagle was also below at the time and was also hit by the tsunami. He had experienced that power personally.

Due to our deliberate release of water, the Japanese ninja troops quickly rushed under the city wall. However, if we release the water, we can't let them rush over intact. Essinger's defensive cannons are well-known, and they are powerful enough. When they are all loaded with shotguns, the killing effect will definitely make your heart beat faster.

Of the 200,000 Japanese ninja troops, they were bombarded before entering the water and only 150,000 remained. When they rushed from the coast to the city wall, this number dropped to 100,000. However, these ninjas finally rushed to the city wall, and the NPC didn't care about this achievement. The RB players who were responsible for on-site command and rushed over with the NPC felt that they had a narrow escape. There is a legend in rb that as long as you can brave Essinger's artillery fire and rush to the bottom of the city wall alive, you are a hero.

The first RB player to touch the city wall was extremely excited. This guy with a beard touched the sky-blue rock on the surface of the city wall. Then he took out the flying claw from the ninja kit. This thing is a device specially used for climbing walls, and almost all ninjas have it. The NPC ninja soldiers around the player almost moved together with him, and they all took out their flying claws, but when they looked up at the top of the city wall, they were all stunned.

These people suddenly discovered that the height of the city wall seemed to be a bit too high. The flying claw cannot be thrown up no matter what. The reason why those ninjas acted in the same way just now is because they all received the same training. When they see a wall, they first use the flying claws. This is basic training. But after seeing this city wall, they realized that some walls cannot be passed with the flying claws.

The leading ninja looked at the top of the city wall and then at his own flying claws, then at the city wall and then at the flying claws. He cruelly put away the flying claws and took out the nail palm instead. Seeing this ninja's reaction, the surrounding ninjas all understood. They all changed into spike palms. The Nail Palm tool is somewhat similar to a glove, but it is not very large. There is only a small metal band with an inch width in the middle of the palm, and there are some steel nails on this metal band. Use this thing to hit the wall hard to drive nails into the wall, and then use this force to climb up. This is also a wall-climbing tool for ninjas.

The ninja who was the first to complete the equipment change rechecked the spikes on his handles and the spikes on his toes, and then jumped up. This guy jumped up to more than two meters. When his body reached the top and was about to fall, he suddenly slapped the city wall hard to fix his body. He hasn't photographed the city wall yet. A large number of ninjas below have already taken off. They all move in the same way to climb up. But when the first ninja slapped the wall, a spark popped out, and then the ninja's heart tightened. The feeling on his hand made him realize that the nail palm failed to penetrate the wall. The mistake on his hand did not disrupt the ninja's movements, and he quickly slapped his other hand up.

Snapped. Another spark flew up. The ninja's eyes instantly widened to the boss, but he didn't hit him again. He quickly kicked the city wall with both feet at the same time, but in vain he shot out two sparks. Now the ninja panicked, and tried to hang on the wall with his hands, but he couldn't get it in at all. The two nail palms brought out a row of sparks on the wall, and the ninja fell into the sea with a plop. The surface stealth technique automatically expired the moment he left the sea. Now he fell back into the water, of course. Fortunately, he only jumped a little more than two meters, and there was water underneath, so his life was not in danger, but the ninja was heartbroken.

In fact, he was not the only one who was hit. The ninjas around him realized that something was wrong when they found out that their companions had fallen, but they had already taken off and had no choice but to continue doing the same thing. Of course the result was the same, these ninjas all fell into the sea like dumplings.

Essinger's outer shell is made of filler stone waste. Although the hardness is not as good as the original stone, it is something that Nuwa refined after all, and it is always harder than steel. Of course it was impossible for these guys to hit the nails into the wall with the point on their hands, so the nail palms were of no use at all. Without exception, these guys all slipped into the sea.

After the ninjas in the first row fell into the water, they all used the ninjutsu to stand on the water and climbed back to the water, but all of them were drowned. The ninjas who were so confident just now were all dumbfounded for a moment. Such a majestic city wall stands in front of you like a mountain. The iron claws cannot be thrown to the top of the city so high, and the nail palms cannot chew the outer shell of the city wall. How to get up there?

Tanaka Shota was holding a telescope from behind and looking under the city wall of Essinger. The ninjas in the back row blocked his view, so he didn't know what was going on in front for the time being. However, Tanaka Shota could see a large number of ninjas rushing to the bottom of the city wall, but they did not start to climb the city wall. Instead, they all stood there and didn't know what they were doing.

The presidents standing behind Shota Tanaka and Masamoto Matsumoto also noticed that something was wrong.

"What are they doing? Why are they not moving?"

Masamoto Matsumoto took a telescope and looked at it for a long time and said: "It seems that I can't move forward due to something. I feel that I have already reached the bottom of the city wall!"

"No, we can't see clearly here." The shadow dancer wearing a ghost mask waved over a Pegasus and then rode it up to a high place.

"Did you see anything?" Masamoto Matsumoto asked from below.

Tanaka Shota also asked: "Is Essinger's protective shield blocking the road?"

"No." Shadow Dancer said while looking through the telescope: "It seems that they have passed through the protective barrier. They are under the city wall. Someone in the vanguard is trying to climb the wall, but they always slide down."

"Climb the wall?" Matsumoto congratulated himself as a ninja. Of course he knew the basic methods of ninja climbing the wall. "Strange? Why are you climbing the wall? Oh... Oops! You forgot the most important thing!"

"What's wrong?" Tanaka Shota and the others still haven't figured out what's going on.

Masamoto Matsumoto shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What do you think the Ninja Team is going to do there?"

"On the city wall, of course."

"How to get on?"

"Throw it on a rope...!" Tanaka Shota's voice became smaller and smaller. He himself also reacted. "I forgot the height of the city wall! No ninja can throw Flying Claw up this high!"

The water depth of Essinger near the coast is only more than 40 meters, and the height of Essinger's city wall is more than 400 meters. The ninja standing on the water is still nearly 400 meters away from the top of the city wall. First consider how high the ninja can throw the flying claw. Even if they can throw the flying claw into space and hook the satellite, it is useless, because the flying claw is designed to deal with ordinary city walls, and the rope behind it is only about 80 meters long. . Even if a super ninja throws the flying claw to the top of the city wall and hangs it, the bottom of the rope will still be more than 300 meters from the sea, and the ninjas will still be unable to get up.

Ikeda Rikio said: "If you can't throw the rope up, doesn't it have nail claws? I heard that ninjas are very skilled at climbing walls?"

Matsumoto Masaga said dejectedly: "Didn't you hear what the masked ghost said? Our people are climbing the wall, but they always fall into the water. I'm afraid that damn city wall is not an ordinary thing. That strange blue color, I think It's not just a camouflage color. It must be some kind of extremely strong material, probably as hard as steel, and the nail palm probably can't penetrate it."

Tianzhao's clone, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Can't advanced ninjas completely rely on their magic power to absorb walls and climb them with bare hands?"

Masamoto Matsumoto said cautiously: "But those are ninja soldiers, and they don't know advanced ninjutsu! There are some masters among the adventurers (players) who led the team, but seeing that they have not moved for a long time, those masters are very Some people didn’t rush to the city wall at all.”

"What should we do? Let our people stand under the city wall like this? The Chinese will definitely throw bombs downwards in a while, and so many people gathered there will definitely be wiped out in groups." Shinoda Shizuo asked.

"Order the armored forces to advance and dispatch the Miyagi equipment group." Masamoto Matsumoto decisively issued the order.

"Siege equipment?" Standing on Isinger, Rose looked at the movements on the Japanese side with a telescope. As a result, I saw a large area of ​​huge equipment coming out of the Japanese army's main formation.

"Are you crazy, little rb? Is it useful to drive these things out?" Awei looked at me suspiciously: "These things will probably be blown away if they don't touch the sea water."

"Don't underestimate the RB people." Ying said: "Those convoys are arranged in formation according to the rules. All equipment is protected by a shield wall vehicle. From this angle, you can only see the shield vehicle. You can't see the equipment at all. .”

"Shield car? Can that thing block the ground and cannonballs?" Su Mei asked.

General Wu said: "The shield cart is a siege tool developed by our country in ancient times. It was originally designed to block arrows. Putting a heavy shield on a wheeled cart can improve mobility and can be built A bigger and thicker shield. If the materials used in the RB's shield are reasonable, the structural strength might be able to block the cannonballs."

"You won't know until you try whether it can block it or not." I ordered again: "City Tree, don't worry about the ninjas under the city wall for now, let me blast those big guys in the distance."

The artillery that was adjusting its firing angle all began to move back. Just now, City Tree erected these cannons into the sky. They were used completely as mortars. The cannonballs were allowed to fly upward first and then fall freely. This way, they could use exaggerated ballistics to attack the enemies below the city wall. Otherwise, all those people would be there. There is no way to aim directly at the blind spot.

This time the cannons were all leveled and the heavy weapons began to speak again. boom. A huge flame spewed out from the muzzle of a heavy cannon, and the shells flew out with the flames and rushed towards the Japanese shield car. The fat cannonball quickly reached the front of a shield vehicle, just as it was about to make contact with the shield vehicle. A colorful light curtain suddenly appeared in front of the shield car.

"Oh? Protective shield?" I looked at the flashing shield lanes: "I wonder where this guy Masamoto Matsumoto collected all these high-end goods."

On the battlefield, the shell that hit the protective cover did not explode. It was actually stuck on the protective cover and spinning in place. The artillery shells fired by the rifled gun will rotate and advance in the air, which is beneficial to stabilizing the trajectory. Although the protective cover blocked the advance of the warhead, the warhead was still spinning. The strange scene paused for about a second. Then suddenly there was a bang and the warhead exploded. The flames and smoke spread instantly, and a stream of air hit the shield in front of it, making a loud sound. The people behind the shield cart who were pushing the shield cart were all knocked back more than a meter, but they quickly got up and pushed the cart forward again.

"What a strong defense!" Eagle sighed.

"Why do I think that shield looks like a product of our country?" Su Mei asked, looking at the shield.

When she said this, everyone felt a bit similar. Rose said: "It seems to be the style of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in China. Look at the shape of the tiger head on the shield. Is it completely Chinese style? And the short dragon logo on the corner of the shield is something from our country."

"Little rb also has dragons." Bai Ling reminded.

"But their earth dragons don't have this stubby type. This style of dragon only existed before the Qin Dynasty in our country, and then it became the earth dragon shape it is now. The dragons at that time were more like crocodiles, not like dragons. "

"You are saying that these shields were sent by people from our country?" General Wu asked.

Rose said: "Not necessarily. Maybe the little rb went to China to buy it themselves, or maybe they found a third party to transfer it. It may even be that they robbed it. Of course, there may be a traitor, and someone provides weapons and us to the rb people. Opposition. But this possibility is relatively small. The Chinese should have no reason to help the Japanese attack us."

Essinger is discussing. Matsumoto Masahiro was cheering.

"Hahahaha. Face Ghost, these things you gave me are really good. They can actually block the bombardment of the cannon." Tanaka Shota smiled and complimented like a shadow dancer.

Masamoto Matsumoto also said: "What kind of car is this? Can you still buy it? We want to buy more. With this thing, Essinger's cannon will not threaten us."

Shadow Dancer smiled and said: "Our guild spent a lot of effort to buy this. The place for sale is an NPC siege equipment store in a special city. Only my people know the location of that place. You can continue to buy it in the future. But their production is not high. They may not be able to provide you with large quantities. If I had not known that you were going to war with Ziri, I would not have given you so much this time. That Ziri made me lose face. I must let you He also pays the price.”

"Okay. Get up wherever you fall. This Zi Ri has made you suffer, and you have to get it back from him. We, the Black Dragon Guild, will support you."

Shinoda Zhizuo also followed: "All our guilds in RB will support you."

"Haha. Happy cooperation." Shadow Dancer and Matsumoto Masaru congratulated them and laughed as they watched the shield truck troops continue to cover the advance of the siege equipment troops.

On Essinger, I watched the advancing shield vehicles pick up the leaves of the city tree. "Change the way you fight. Don't use shotgun shells. Change to armor-piercing incendiary bombs."

The cannon roared again, and a cannonball with a different shape flew out. The Japanese people over there were rejoicing when suddenly a shell hit the protective cover of the shield car. The shell of the shell was stuck on the protective cover, but the warhead suddenly opened and a smaller shell flew out and hit it. Get on the front shield of the shield car.

There was a bang, and the shell was inserted into the front shield of the shield vehicle and got stuck in the middle, but the warhead had already penetrated a little bit. boom. The small warhead suddenly exploded, and a large ball of flames instantly swept through the entire car. The fire instantly ignited the entire wooden structure of the shield vehicle. Although the front of this car is made of steel, in order to reduce weight, a large amount of wood structure is still used, which is a big disadvantage for this small car. The flames engulfed the entire car body. Dozens of people covered in flames screamed and ran out from the sides and back of the semi-open car. These were the people pushing the cart. Following them were some monsters such as bulls, which were originally used as the main driving force, but now they also ran out because of the flames.

The bull, whose body was on fire, crashed into the crowd, knocking over the shield car next to it. I didn't expect that the incendiary bombs were so effective, and they immediately messed up the Japanese shield vehicle formation.
