Just as a large group of Destroyers besieged the bunker fortifications at the foot of the rocky mountain, a small group of Destroyers climbed up the rocky mountain and headed towards the small bunker on the top of the mountain. The goal was self-evident.
The small bunker on the top of the mountain was in a commanding position, and the artillery stationed there was capable. In the battle just now, they poured out firepower, killing and wounding many Destroyers, and even a Radar Destroyer was attacked.
After that, the radar destroyer focused on searching for the source of firepower that directly threatened it. The bunker on the top of the mountain that was constantly spitting out fire and gunpowder smoke was not deliberately hidden at all. It was quickly exposed in the eyes of a few mutated one-eyed destroyers. A group of people who are good at climbing The Destroyer immediately rushed to try to extinguish the threat.
The commander of the small bunker on the top of the mountain who was also on the lookout received the warning from the flying knight and switched to defense mode when the Destroyer climbed one-third of the distance. They all got into the only tower to hold on and used firepower to prevent the Destroyer from approaching. .
Since there is no underground passage in this bunker, the defenders inside have no way to retreat and can only hold on. According to the plan, the combat flying knights in the air focused on covering the two bunkers, constantly swooping in and attacking with fire bombs, killing and delaying their offensive.
The artillery position behind the main city wall also responded to the requirements of the Observation Flying Knight, allocating part of its firepower to bombard the rocky area. Coupled with the precise and rapid artillery fire from the bunker defenders, the hundreds of Destroyers attacking the rock faced a seemingly powerful interception. For a time, the artillery shells Flying sideways, gravel flying.
However, the actual effect of fire interception was not very obvious. After several rounds of shelling, only twenty-three out of ten Destroyers fell down, while the other Destroyers were still rushing forward nimbly.
After all, this rocky mountain is no better than the ground that has been specially flattened. There are a lot of bumps and cracks on the rock. Even if the Destroyer does not actively use the terrain to avoid artillery, the rugged terrain still blocks a large number of direct shells and shrapnel. Sputter. Only the flying knight's dive attack and a small number of incendiary bombs fired from the main artillery position are more effective.
Soon, the first twenty or so Destroyers approached the tower. There is not even a trench around this watchtower, just a simple circle of ant-concrete low walls.
These Destroyers climbed over the wall together, and after encountering a volley of fire from the waiting defenders at close range, leaving eight corpses behind, the remaining Destroyers rushed into the wall.
However, although the bunker on the top of the rock is small in scale, in order to make up for the lack of underground passages, the defensive layout is more complete than the large and medium-sized bunkers at the foot of the mountain. As soon as the Destroyer stepped inside the wall, he suddenly discovered that the stone ground here was very smooth. Some liquid was gurgling out from several small holes near the ground in the watchtower, and quickly filled the inside of the wall along the stone troughs on the ground.
Because the watchtower is located at a slightly higher position, while the wall is slightly lower, and the terrain slopes downward, a natural angular groove is formed between the wall and the ground, which has now turned into an oil ditch filled with fuel.
More than fifty Destroyers were unaware of the impending disaster. They entered death traps one after another and surrounded the completely sealed watchtower, unable to do anything. They were completely unaware that the firepower from all sides that had been covering them had strangely stopped.
Until all the Destroyers were trapped, three fire bombs from the flying knights fell one after another. Two of them hit the wall, and the fire suddenly ignited!
This burst of fire lasted only half a second, as if a bright light flashed past, but then there were several crackling sounds. It was the mysterious balls in the bodies of several Destroyers that were instantly detonated by the high temperature, and they themselves also No bones were left of the bombed bodies. Most of the destroyers were not burned, but their bodies were hunched and charred, and they died instantly. The power of explosion is so terrifying!
After the immediate threat was completely cleared, the small watchtower on the top of the mountain opened the shooting holes again, firing with full firepower, chasing the Destroyers on the ground who had begun to retreat.
There is enough fuel in this watchtower to be used twice. These valuable fuels are the security guarantee of this important base. It is precisely with this secret weapon that Zhu Jue dared to place some elite artillery outside the main city wall. Stick to it.
————
The battle on the ground temporarily came to an end. As the first wave of the Destroyer's offensive was repulsed, the artillery that had been firing for a long time was turned off in turn. The artillerymen had not rested yet, but were wiping the cannon body with moist plant fibers and lowering the cannon. Regardless of the temperature, they then have to clean the gun barrel, carry ammunition, and constantly prepare for the next battle between battles.
Although this wave of Destroyer's offensive was defeated, its cluster still retained most of its strength and was strong enough to launch another attack! Other nearby Destroyer clusters are also approaching the area of the battle. Even if it is too late for the entire army to arrive, some reinforcements can still be sent to join the battle. The intensity of the next wave of Destroyer attacks will only be more violent than the previous wave.
Commanders at all levels looked at the high sun and received reports from the flying knights. They realized that there would be at least one battle before sunset today, and all armies were actively preparing for the war. In addition to the current battle zone, the defenders in other threatened areas have also entered defensive positions and are on standby. The entire Great Wall defense line has entered a state of war!
During the brief ceasefire, the only ones still fighting were the air force of the thief ant clan to which "Madman" belonged, and they were spitting death flames on the ground.
In the long-term battle last year, the giant locust air force of the thieves ants commanded by "Madman" once suffered heavy losses and almost lost its combat effectiveness. Fortunately, their clan has the advantage of air transportation. After the spring of this year, at the request of "Madman", the clan added a group of warriors and mounts. Now "Madman" has 36 giant locusts under his command, organized into an independent air force. The troops assist in the defense of the Great Wall and have certain independent command rights.
"Madman" could have returned to his own tribe after the spring. He was trained as the future leader of the tribe. Last year, he fought against parasitic ants and the Destroyer one after another, and he had already accumulated enough qualifications and military exploits to succeed him. But he was warlike and didn't want to go back, and wanted to continue fighting the Destroyer. The thief ants have no choice but to mobilize troops and materials to continue providing support.
At this time, the "madman" who had just received the military information and rushed from the rear base to provide support, was annoyed to see that the Destroyer had retreated. But he did not intend to go to waste, and ordered the troops to take the initiative to launch an air attack on the assembled Destroyer formation.
"Madman" gets along well with Zhu Jue. Now the giant dragonflies under his command have been armed by the God Envoy King's army. In particular, Zhu Jue even authorized the development of some air-to-ground weapons specifically for giant locusts. The combat effectiveness of this unit is particularly This is a great increase in ground attack power!
If the Flying Knight is a fighter and the large dragonfly dedicated to bombing is a bomber, then these giant locusts are full-time attack aircraft!
