Chapter 857, A New Game
70 kilometers north of Boulder Mountain was a vast plain and woods, where Fire Seed’s main force had assembled with the intention of horizontally laying out a 31-kilometer-long defense line, and only 7 kilometers of works had just been completed today.
A large number of stragglers and wallflowers were drafted to the front line, not just engineers and maintenance personnel, but all adult males with strength were drafted.
The only thing these exiles and barriers had to do after arriving here was to race against time to build the defense line as soon as possible.
Hundreds of brick kilns at the back of the defense line burned bricks day and night, and because of the need to make bricks, the sediment in the nearby river was dug out, and the river channel quickly widened by more than ten times.
I have to say, this scene is very shocking, if you look down from the sky, the horizontal line of defense is visible to the naked eye on both sides of the “growth”.
Hope Media reports that a new Great Wall has been erected in the history of mankind in the event of an attack by a foreign enemy.
The plain to the north of the new Great Wall was originally unnamed, but at this moment it was also named the Dingyuan Plain. Because Fireseed already knew that the force the barbarians belonged to was called the Expeditionary Army Corps, they planned to stop the barbarians on this Dingyuan Plain, and when the time was right, they would beat the barbarians back home.
No, the main purpose of this war was to effectively kill and maim the barbarians’ living forces with the greatest possibility.
If they were just defeated without killing enough people, then I’m afraid that the other side would make a comeback in not many years.
The terrain here in Dingyuan Plain was single, and the power of hot weapons could be maximized when facing the barbarians.
Originally, it was the Firebloods that were the troops that liked fighting in complex terrain the most, simply because their overall physical fitness was on the high side, once an encounter took place in the mountains, no matter if it was Kong or Wang, they could only be beaten by them holding their heads together.
Even if Kong’s troop strength was more than the Firebloods, they would still be slowly dragged down physically by the Firebloods, which was the huge advantage of the Firebloods’ high physical quality per capita.
However, it was different now, although the barbarians didn’t have hot weapons, their physical fitness was actually better than the Fire kind.
In order to compare the strength of the fire kindling itself, the average level of the fire kindling side is also between T1 and T2, while the barbarians can reach T3 for almost everyone.
Moreover, after the encounter at Boulder Mountain, P5092 had submitted a very detailed combat report, and one of the important points was that there were also more powerful individuals among the barbarians.
The barbarians had already fought with the main Fireseed force several times in the Dingyuan Plains and the area of the New Great Wall, but they were still in the stage of testing each other out.
At this time, the Fireseed’s Third Division led by P5092 had already arrived at the frontline and had stationed themselves at the strategic place they belonged to.
However, the first thing that P5092 did was not to tidy up the military affairs and defense line, but to first hang the corpses of the barbarians that he had killed in Boulder Mountain, one by one, in the most conspicuous places beyond the defense line.
As a result, there were suddenly hundreds of wooden stakes outside the New Great Wall where P5092 was located, and the barbarian corpses hanging on them were like rag bags swaying in the wind.
It had to be said that the massacre of Barrier 176 had enraged all the Central Plains people, including Firestarter.
And what P5092 wanted to do was to enrage the barbarians.
For the sake of this matter, he even ordered the main force that entered Boulder Mountain at that time not to spare any of the barbarians, and then transported all the corpses to the frontline after loading them up.
There were crows circling above the sky, seemingly impatient to devour the corpses of these barbarians, and the fire soldiers didn’t care, letting them enjoy themselves.
P5092 know that the barbarian outpost must be secretly surveying this place, and this is enough.
The adjutant at the side whispered, “Sir, I’m afraid that if you do this, it will make the barbarians very angry, so don’t let the pressure of the entire defense line be focused on us at that time.”
P5092 stood on the new Great Wall of the Waste Land Era, looking out at the Great Wall stretching away from his feet, and he couldn’t even see the end of it.
He said coldly, “Then let them come, just as I wish.”
At eleven o’clock that night, dozens of illuminating tracer bullets on the New Great Wall were suddenly launched into the sky and released tremendous heat and light.
When the illuminating tracers flew up to the apex, they slowly began to fall, and then, the Spark Soldiers on top of the Great Wall could all see with the help of the pink light that there were thousands of barbarians in the north running densely on the ground.
P5092 calmly looked at this scene: “I’m really enraged, the vanguard troops are out in force. Account for this, fire directly when you enter range, no need to leave any room for maneuver.”
The adjutant said, “Then what if they run away?”
If the opponent opened fire just as they came into range, that meant that the opponent would be able to get out of fire coverage if they retreated a little, and it would be hard to kill more barbarians then.
There was no way that P5092 didn’t know this, and the senior officer of the Fireblood took off the black lambskin gloves on his own hands and said, “It’s okay, go ahead with my plan.”
New illuminating tracer bullets were continuously fired into the sky by the Fire Seed soldiers, some people looked at the barbarians from afar and muttered in a low voice, “These barbarians are running so fast, they look like a brown bear, if they get close, I’m afraid that the defense line will be torn apart in an instant. Wait, you guys see that the barbarians in the front row seem to be dragging something.”
In the next moment, someone suddenly ordered, “Fire!”
The heavy machine gun bullets at night were orange-red color visible to the naked eye, and when a string of bullets shot out towards the distance, the machine gun bullets that were connected into a line amidst the fluttering seemed like a long whip, straightly lashing out at the barbarians’ forward troops!
The defenders in the other areas on the Great Wall were alarmed by the battle over here, and took out their binoculars to watch, and some people talked to P5092, asking if they needed reinforcements, but the P5092’s answer was no.
At this time, everyone saw through the binoculars, those barbarians who ran at the front and were the most majestic, surprisingly suddenly put up the huge shield they were dragging in their hands in front of them, which was more than two meters high!
Five barbarians simultaneously held up a special leather multi-layered pressed shield, still rapidly advancing, that shield was thick and solid.
The shield was extremely heavy, even the special physique of the barbarians had to be lifted by the combined strength of five people.
When the machine gun bullets finally arrived, the bullets and the shield collided with the sound like a storm hitting the ground, the front leather of the shield was cracked everywhere by the bullets, but to the surprise of the people, the heavy machine gun was unable to break the shield completely!
The adjutant was astonished, he didn’t know what this shield was made of, if he really let the other side enter the firing range for a long time before firing, I am afraid that the other side would be able to rush under the defense line with this shield alone, and then they could easily rely on their strong physical strength to climb up to the Great Wall and tear apart the defense line.
The adjutant glanced at the P5092: “Sir did you expect them to use this tactic?”
“No, it’s just better to play it safe, you can’t be too greedy in the middle of the battlefield,” P5092 shook his head, “At least before figuring out the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, you should never think about how to wipe them out. Get ready on the mortars, be careful, tonight’s battle has just begun.”
