heavy weapon is king

Chapter 154

Outside the labyrinth, the sun had already set, and the sky was gradually darkening.

At this moment, under the protection of a group of leaders and experts, Nie Zheng slowly approached tens of meters forward, and stopped when he was still 30 meters away from the boring area where no grass grew.

"How could this be?"

Nie Zheng frowned deeply as he watched the thirty elite dragons and tigers entering the boring area.

After the 30 people entered the boring area to investigate, suddenly, they seemed to encounter some strange and terrifying scene, all of them were pale, screaming and wandering around inside, as if lost their way.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng's expression darkened, and he said, "Let them come out quickly!"

After hearing the order, Shi Zheng rushed to the edge of the formation and ordered loudly: "Zhangqiu, Luo Huanbao...lead people to retreat quickly!..."

Under the watchful eyes of Nie Zheng and others, Shi Zheng yelled several times at the inside, but the strange thing is that the thirty elite dragons and tigers who entered inside seemed to be unable to hear the sound outside at all, and they were still like headless chickens. Generally, scurrying around in there.

All of a sudden, as if they had encountered some terrible enemy, they picked up the weapons in their hands, slashing and swinging wildly.

Clinking, sparks flying! !

Suddenly, a sharp sound of weapons colliding came out in that strange and boring area.

At this moment, a scene that shocked Nie Zheng appeared.

Thirty dragon and tiger elites who were sent in to investigate, almost at the same time, they seemed to be attacked by some invisible, with knife wounds appearing constantly on their bodies. Suddenly, they uttered a series of shrill and painful screams, and blood splattered everywhere. fell on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the people standing outside the boring area all changed drastically, and their expressions were shocked.

Especially Shi Zheng, the [-] elites he sent in to investigate just now are all his confidantes and confidants. Seeing them lying in a pool of blood, Shi Zheng's eyes were tearing apart, and he hissed and yelled at the inside .

"Zhang Qiu!!!"

"Luo Huanbao!!..."

Seeing that Shi Zheng's emotions were a little out of control, Nie Zheng's face darkened, and he hastily ordered Niu Meng: "Hurry up and drag him back to me!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

After hearing the order, Niu Meng and Xu Shijie immediately rushed to Shi Zheng's side and dragged him back abruptly.

At this time, Shi Zheng came to Nie Zheng with a look of grief and anger, and he cupped his hands and begged for a fight: "Leader, my subordinates are willing to bring people in to find out what's going on, and bring their bodies back by the way!"

Nie Zheng glanced at him and said, "That area is a bit weird, we'll discuss it carefully before taking action."

After all, he ignored Shi Shi's reaction, and directly ordered loudly: "Everyone obeys the order, immediately raise the vigilance, and set up a defensive formation!"

Under Nie Zheng's order, four thousand elite dragons and tigers immediately dispersed in all directions.

After all the teams stopped, Nie Zheng sent another order, ordering everyone to take out arms and weapons, and began to deploy arms defense positions on the wasteland outside Yangzhou City.

Under the command of a group of leaders, two hundred members of the machine gun team, carrying fifty Maxim heavy machine guns, rushed to the front of the team, lined up at a distance of 20 meters, and fifty Very heavy machine guns, all deployed outside the city.

At the same time, 250 bazooka launchers and [-] grenadier launchers also took out weapons and ammunition one after another, and deployed them in various areas outside the city, ready to attack the large defensive formation [-] meters ahead at any time. , to launch an attack.

At this moment, the sky has darkened.

In the distance, inside the North City Tower of Yangzhou several miles away, rows of torches were burning above the city walls on the left and right sides, illuminating the entire North City Defense, brightly lit.

Through the binoculars in his hand, Nie Zheng could clearly see that on the north city defense, soldiers were surging, and there were many swords and guns, especially on the walls on the left and right wings of the north city tower, behind the rows of square battlements, there had long been thousands of Da Yue crossbows. With his hands, he bent his bow and set an arrow, pointing out of the city!

At the same time, a large number of city defense equipment such as stones, rolling logs, forks, poisonous dung, etc. were prepared on the several kilometers long city defense.

What is even more shocking are the catapults and spikes on the northern city defense.

Basically, above the city walls on both sides of the North Tower, a huge trebuchet was deployed every tens of meters. Looking at the boiling smoke, I don't know whether the pot is boiling oil or other poison.

On the majestic city wall as high as six feet, there is a huge spike log every 30 meters. This is the most ferocious weapon in the defense of the city, the giant spike of spikes.

The wolf fang giant is eight meters long, thick as a water tank, and covered with sharp knives and barbs.

On the wall of the north city defense that is several kilometers long, there are densely covered with this kind of ferocious mace.

As long as the enemy holds the ladder and forcibly climbs the wall to attack the city, the soldiers guarding the top of the city will pull up the mace hanging on the wall, and then put it down fiercely.

Immediately, those huge and heavy spikes would sway from side to side like thunder, smashing the enemies who climbed the city until their flesh was ripped apart and their muscles and bones were broken.

In addition to these large defensive equipment, hundreds of six-hole bed crossbows were also deployed on the north city defense.

Each bed crossbow weighs hundreds of kilograms, and is installed and fixed in the dark wall below the battlement, echoing with the upper city head, and cooperating in combat.

In addition to these large offensive and defensive equipment, Nie Zheng also saw many unnamed city defense equipment.

Obviously, the military defense force of this ancient state city is really extraordinary.

Especially after the Dayue people occupied Yangzhou City, they frantically strengthened and strengthened the defense of the entire city. If it is an ordinary army with cold weapons, it will cost a huge price to break through this city.

However, this is only for those ancient armies that mainly attacked cities with cold weapons.

For a special force like Nie Zheng who has a large amount of ammunition and weapons, once he uses bazookas, grenades and mountain cannons to attack Yangzhou city defenses, the city defense weapons deployed by the Dayue people will undoubtedly be just a bluff to the Dragon Tiger Army. Human ornaments.

However, if you want to successfully attack the city, you must break through the weird and boring area ahead.

After some observation just now, Nie Zheng is now very sure.

That mysterious area where not a single blade of grass grows is definitely the protective formation of Yangzhou City.

The strangeness of this large formation really shocked Nie Zheng, because it was completely different from what he had guessed before.

On the way to attack Yangzhou City, Nie Zheng had repeatedly conceived that if the protective formation of Yangzhou City was just a formation with a giant defensive shield, then it would be much easier for them to break the formation.

But after arriving outside the city, Nie Zheng was surprised to find that the large formation protecting the city of Yangzhou was so weird and ordinary.

Standing outside the large moat formation, you would not be able to perceive its power at all, but after sending someone in, it would be like entering a maze, wandering around in circles, and it is impossible to exit at all.

If you don't destroy the large formation that protects the city, your team will not be able to rush under the city at all.

You must know that the area of ​​the moat at the front gate is a full two miles wide, and behind the moat, there is a moat about ten feet wide.

Counting inside and out, Nie Zheng's team is at least three miles away from the city.

At such a long distance, whether it is a rocket launcher or a grenadier, their range is far from hitting the opposite city. Although the effective range of a heavy machine gun is more than 1000 meters.

But from here to the top of the city, it is at least about 300 meters.

At such a long distance, even if the bullets of the heavy machine gun can be hit, the estimated lethality and hit rate will not pose a great threat to the enemy.

However, these are actually not the main ones.

The most important thing is that if Nie Zheng's team can't attack the city and is always blocked by this large protective formation, even if he dragged out ten mountain cannons and bombarded the north city defense of Yangzhou, so what?

If you can't occupy the city, all the consumption will be in vain.

Besides, apart from Nie Zheng's desire to break through the city as quickly as possible, he also had to secretly beware that the enemy would send heavy troops out of the city to attack.

If the dragon and tiger army had been attacking the city for a long time, with the insidious and cunning character of those Da Viet people, they must have prepared a second hand to deal with them.

At that time, Nie Zheng's troops will be blocked by a large defensive formation in front of them, and Dayue's troops will sneak behind them, and the situation of the Dragon and Tiger Army will become very passive.

Although they have a large number of arms and weapons, they can repel any sneak attacking enemies, but there is always a moment when the ammunition runs out.

Therefore, in order to keep the initiative in his own hands, Nie Zheng decided that he must break through the formation as soon as possible, and must find out what is true and false within the large formation protecting the city.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng immediately summoned all the leaders to his side, and prepared to send another group of powerful warriors into the protective formation to spy on the reality.

Soon, dozens of leaders, headed by Niu Meng, Shi Zheng, Xu Shijie, and Xue Changsheng, all gathered in front of Nie Zheng.

At this time, Nie Zheng looked at everyone with a stern face, and ordered in a deep voice: "I want to send ten more masters into the large formation to spy on the reality. This time, the strength of the personnel must be above the sixth-rank warrior. Among them, who is willing to take orders to go?"

"Leader, Niu Meng is willing to go."

"Subordinate Xu Shijie is willing to go."

"The subordinate administration is willing to go.

"Subordinate An Dehai is willing to go..."

All the leaders expressed their willingness to take orders.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng pondered for a moment, and finally decided: "Okay, since everyone is willing to go, then I will choose ten of you to go."

"Niu Meng, Shi Zheng, An Dehai... the ten of you tied the ropes around your waist, entered the edge of the protective formation, and took a closer look. Remember, no matter what you encounter, you must not go deep without authorization, so as not to encounter accidents!"

"Yes, leader!"...
