Chapter 22: An Island-Like City
Guangling City, originally named Qianqiu, is a city that appeared because Emperor Xuanzong of Tang set up a county to commemorate the birth of Yang Guifei. It means the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years.??? ?
However, the prosperous era cannot last for thousands of years, and Guangling will no longer be the grand occasion for thousands of years. Today, the entire city is empty, with only the alien insects passing by from time to time looking for traces of living people everywhere.
There is no reason for Qin Feng to choose this place, because it is only less than two hours away from Jinling Highway, so he has visited this place a lot over the years. Since he first arrived here, he has been curious about the unique environment here.
The whole city is not surrounded by mountains or lakes, but is surrounded by a wide artificial river. The locals call it a moat, which has been around for more than a thousand years. The whole city connects the outside world through five river-crossing bridges, and looks like a closed island, but this island is really big.
This is simply the best base location. Qin Feng really couldn't find any place in modern society with such a similar pattern to ancient cities.
According to his vision, after he successfully opened the base car in the city center, he immediately sent troops to blow up four bridges, leaving only one near Jinling City. At that time, this place will become a strong fortress heavily armed, a base camp where he can safely display his power.
21 elite imperial warriors wrapped in armor and helmets were surrounded by armed mining vehicles. It was already six o'clock in the evening when they arrived here. The sunset had not yet completely set, but night was about to fall, and everyone was keeping the greatest vigilance. ?
Qin Feng was thinking about how he should open the base car at what time. After all, there would inevitably be huge movements at that time. If all the insects were attracted to attack together, he would be in tears. Five million was not something he could get. At the same time, he was also paying attention to the movements in any building. Although Wang Ba had already left here, what if there were trapped civilians.
"The target crosses the river bridge, act now." Qin Feng updated his instructions. Walking aimlessly in the city is not a solution. It is better to blow up the bridge first while night, although he doesn't know if there is any difference between night and day for the Zerg.
The armed mining truck can only be retracted after it is damaged for repair. Qin Feng tried it, but under normal conditions, it cannot be recycled no matter what. Fortunately, the Emperor* team has always been known for its quietness and sneak attacks, but even if the mining truck cannot drive, it seems that it cannot play any role, because...
"The left wing catches the enemy! Enemy 11, request the machine cannon support."
The azure blue beam instantly crossed the sky above the soldiers lying on the ground and fired, and landed accurately on the bridge. The stone bridge deck suddenly flew across the rocks, and several alien insects crawling into the city through the bridge were instantly submerged in smoke and dust.
Qin Feng suddenly realized how wise it was to destroy the bridge first, because when he felt that there might be more bugs leaving the bridge, it was more likely that more bugs would rush into the city from the bridge. The middle-aged man's words misled him, but fortunately he had not made any mistakes for too long.∏∈,
Even though those alien insects never poked their heads out of the smoke and dust, Qin Feng still ordered the machine cannon to continue shooting at the bridge deck. Compared with the modern iron chain bridge, the stone arch bridge was more difficult to destroy. Qin Feng distributed half of the troops to design the bridge pier, and the other half of the soldiers were scattered behind his companions and were always alert to the possible enemies in the dark.
When the huge stone arch bridge collapsed with only one or two scarred piers left, Qin Feng quickly rushed towards the next bridge. He didn't want to face the sea of insects running towards him in the next few minutes.
After nightfall, a gray layer of mist filled the wilderness across the moat. Qin Feng looked up at the night sky. The stars dotted on the boundless sky above his head were emitting dazzling light, reminding people of the eyes of the insects at night.
The burst robot acted as the role of the eyes and always guided Qin Feng to carefully avoid the large swarm of insects. It seemed that neither side was affected in the darkness. It was just that human instincts and habits made him subconsciously want to put the battle after dawn. After all, destroying the bridge is much more important than killing a few insects.
However, even with the reconnaissance that burst robots always responded, after Qin Feng and others destroyed the second stone bridge, they were still inevitably caught up by the swarm of insects coming.
"Rely on the mining car! Divide into two teams to shoot in a tiered manner, keep the distance!" Qin Feng ordered loudly. Although it makes people feel a little frustrated when fighting while retreating, it is the best way to avoid casualties, especially when the opponent can only fight in close combat.
Before the first batch of rushing insects touched the soldiers' clothes, they were blown into plasma by dense light rain. The broken flesh splashed out and covered the street trees on both sides. The alien insects, who were following in succession, braved the powerful firepower of the double-barrel machine cannon, rushed through the flying green blood mist and rushed to the light curtain made of kinetic guns by the imperial warriors, and were also dispersed and turned into a strong blood shadow.
Qin Feng felt a hint of tragedy inexplicably.
However, more alien insects continued to pass through the increasingly thick dark green air formed by the flesh and blood of their companions and rushed towards the imperial warriors' queue, and fierce hand-to-hand combat began.
This is the benefit of quantity. Qin Feng once particularly liked to force the enemy base by summoning a large number of soldiers to form a sea of people. However, in reality, the insect swarm taught him a good lesson in the same way.
Some soldiers were scattered behind the mining car and relied on the latter's weak armor to continue shooting at the swarm, trying to provide some pitiful fire support to his companions who were fighting with hot light swords ahead. However, more and more alien insects jumped out of the buildings in the distance and rushed towards this battlefield of intertwined fire and blood. The battle sequence of alien insects constantly collided and made it difficult for the imperial warriors to resist. Qin Feng had to continue to create soldiers to supplement the gradually occurring casualties. However, the limited funds could no longer afford the price of any soldier after he created the second soldier. Even if the insects that were constantly dying on the battlefield kept replenishing funds, it would be useless.
This was Qin Fengtou's time to face a large-scale attack on alien insects. Although he had faced a more terrifying number than this before, he was a host without any offensive ability. In addition to being flexible, the opponent's defense was simply astonishingly weak. At this moment, he realized how terrifying the combat power formed after the number of alien insects that really took into account both attack and defense rose to a certain level. This is a race that truly wins by quantity!
Several imperial warriors surrounded by insect swarms were broken into several segments by several long platoons passing through the gap of the hot light knife. Then more soldiers screamed, and the insect swarm was about to break through the defense line!
Qin Feng had never been so eager for explosive weapons. If every soldier carried grenades and grenades, he would not have been able to break out so quickly. The progress of the battle made people caught off guard. The insect swarm's fear of death even made Qin Feng think of turning around and running away alone!
A alien insect flew over several imperial warriors entangled by his companions and climbed onto the turret of the mining car, and then used his sharp insect claws to slam the armor of the not-so-heavy mining car. The turret of the machine gun was spinning wildly as if he wanted to throw it off.
A few undetectable gunshots sounded on the chaotic battlefield, and a string of kinetic energy bullets were hit on the back of the alien insect. The bullets, which were already in an extremely unstable state under the high temperature, vaporized the instant when they entered its body, and the huge wounds burned out instantly twisted the alien insects in pain.
