Chapter 377: Defensive Battle

Boom boom boom!

Ye Feng had just arrived at the city wall when he saw a 30mm self-propelled artillery in front of him, pouring firepower madly towards the bottom of the city wall.

Ye Feng had learned about this newly developed self-propelled artillery, and the firing rate could reach 1,500 rounds per minute, which could cause fatal damage to mutant animals below the fourth level.

It can also automatically lock the enemy. If multiple units are loaded together, the computer can also form a firepower network by itself to conduct joint operations.

It can be said that at the beginning of its setting, this thing was positioned as a killer on the battlefield.

Because the common mutant animals are still in the third level, it will take at least until the next spiritual energy revival before it is possible to break through to the fourth level on a large scale.

And this self-propelled artillery can cause effective damage even against fourth-level mutant animals.

It can be said that after this new type of self-propelled artillery was developed, it was placed with great expectations, and now it is basically installed on the walls of various cities.

Some key places, such as the military fortress to be built in Daxinganling, have installed more.

But unfortunately, in this war, this new weapon that was highly expected did not play its due role.

Ye Feng looked at the self-propelled artillery in front of him, and madly poured firepower at a mutant centipede in the distance.

Although the hard shell on the opponent's body was hit with sparks, the damage caused cannot be said to be zero, but it can only be said to be negligible.

After being shot for twenty seconds, the opponent's hard shell was cracked for about one meter. Compared with the opponent's body size of more than ten meters, this can only be regarded as a minor injury.

This mutant centipede rushed to the bottom of the city wall under the shooting of a self-propelled artillery and wanted to climb up.

However, it did not succeed. Standing next to the self-propelled artillery, an elite soldier wearing power armor had already noticed it.

At this time, he raised the second-generation Destroyer hand cannon in his hand, which was 2.5 meters long and 120 mm in caliber.

Boom!

With a cannon shot, the centipede's head was instantly pierced by a huge bullet, and it only struggled twice before it stopped moving.

Seeing this scene, even Ye Feng had to sigh at the great power of this Destroyer hand cannon.

Not to mention these sixth-level mutant insects, even sixth-level mutant animals, unless they have particularly strong defense, may be killed by one shot.

However, this hand cannon also has many disadvantages.

First of all, the recoil is huge, and it is necessary to wear power armor before it can be used normally.

In addition, after each shot, the shells must be reloaded.

And these shells are quite large, with a width of 12 cm and a length of 40 cm.

If it is a battle in the field, let alone loading bullets, just carrying this kind of bullet is a huge trouble.

This kind of defensive battle will be much better, because there are draggable loading boxes everywhere, and these soldiers can drag the loading boxes wherever they go.

It's just that the loading time still can't be solved well.

Even though these power armors have an automatic loading program built in for assistance, the whole process still takes at least 5 seconds.

In other words, the second-generation Destroyer hand cannon has a maximum firing rate of only 12 rounds per minute.

In this battlefield with dense enemies, such a firing rate is definitely not enough.

But fortunately, the main target of these elite soldiers wearing power armor is not these mutant insects, but the smaller number of mutant animals.

At this time, the main force against mutant insects on the battlefield is the ordinary soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor.

They are basically equipped with the first-generation Destroyer hand cannon.

The power of this first-generation Destroyer hand cannon is much worse, and it only fires armor-piercing bullets with a diameter of 70 mm, so the power is naturally a level lower.

Not to mention dealing with sixth-order mutant animals, even fifth-order mutant animals may not be able to be killed.

Of course, attacking fifth-order mutant animals, even if they cannot be killed, they will definitely cause them to suffer heavy damage.

Therefore, it is barely powerful enough to deal with these sixth-order mutant insects with relatively weak defense.

Because even if one shot cannot kill them, the second shot will definitely kill them.

Of course, the most important thing is that the first-generation Destroyer hand cannon is not so bulky, and it looks like a single-soldier rocket launcher.

And it only needs 70mm bullets, and the size of the bullets is much smaller.

So on this basis, the research department added a magazine to the first-generation Destroyer hand cannon.

Of course, unlike the normal magazine, the magazine of this first-generation Destroyer hand cannon is very large. It is more appropriate to say that it is a combat backpack than a magazine.

Although the painting style is a bit weird, its function is real, and it can directly increase the attack speed from 12 rounds per minute to 60 rounds.

Therefore, these ordinary soldiers holding the first-generation Destroyer hand cannon are the main force against mutant insects.

But even if the firing rate is increased, facing the endless army of mutant creatures, such firepower suppression is still not enough.

At least from time to time there would be mutant animals that could break through the blockade and approach the city wall.

You know, the opponent is still in a state of harassment. It is completely conceivable how precarious this section of the city wall will be when they launch a general attack.

Ye Feng walked around and quickly came to the defense line where Chai Shi and other Yangcheng City players were in charge.

Seeing Ye Feng coming, everyone gathered around excitedly.

"Brother Ye, you are finally back. We watched your rescue video later and it was really amazing." Chai Shi was the first to say.

The rest of the people were also chattering away, expressing their excitement and admiration.

Contestants like these are actually arrogant at heart, and it is impossible to admire other people under normal circumstances.

But Ye Feng was obviously not in a normal situation.

And Ye Feng can also clearly feel the power of faith gathering towards him from these people.

This brought a smile to Ye Feng's face, and his expression became a little more cordial, "You guys came earlier than me, how do you feel?"

After these people were brought to the evacuation point by Ye Feng, they were almost the first batch to board the transport plane to evacuate. They came back ten minutes earlier than Ye Feng, just in time for the last general attack.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's inquiry, the somewhat excited look on everyone's faces disappeared in an instant, replaced by solemnity.

"It's very pessimistic. There are too many mutant animals. They can easily break through the blockade. We can only rely on us to fight for time in front."

"The last one didn't last long. I felt it was more like a tentative attack by others. If they really launch a general attack for a long time at any cost, we players will definitely have casualties. By then, many people will be injured and dead. , maybe the entire defense line will collapse," Chai Shi said in a low voice.

"There are also those mutated insects, which are also a big trouble." At this time, Lu Tao from the side interjected.

He is a spiritual superpower, and his range of perception is larger and clearer, so he naturally has more information. He also lowered his voice and said: "These mutated insects you see now are actually the ones with not very strong attack capabilities. ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and Lu Tao continued: "The really troublesome mutant insects are those that can release poison. Even if we, the sixth-level strong ones, are bitten, we will not be able to kill them in time." Even if you clean up the toxins, you will die.”

"There are even some mutated insects that can spray their toxins directly. Most of the soldiers killed in battle were caused by these mutated insects."

After hearing these contents, the expression on Ye Feng's face became more serious. He did not expect that the mutant creatures' general attack would be so troublesome.

Of course, he just felt troublesome. He didn't think it was such a difficult problem to solve. As long as the military started executing the bombing plan, it would naturally clear out a large area of ​​mutated creatures, drastically reducing the pressure here.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng was about to say a few words of comfort, but suddenly a harsh alarm sounded from the military camp.

Hearing this voice, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Lu Tao immediately said: "This is the first level of alert. These mutated creatures are about to launch a general attack again."

At this time, a large number of soldiers were coming out of the military camp towards the city wall. In just one minute, the number of soldiers on the city wall had doubled.

Ye Feng even discovered that not only the regular army, but also the logistics troops were dispatched. They carried large quantities of ammunition and provided logistical support at any time.

While the military was seizing the time to prepare for the war, hordes of mutated animals were approaching in the distance on the horizon.

They were not charging randomly, but were arranging their troops in a very orderly manner.

The ones in front are mutant bison, mutant wild boar, and mutant rhino, these animals with rough skin and thick flesh.

Further behind are various predatory animals, which are the main force that climbs the city wall to kill.

Above their heads are various mutant birds, and even these mutant birds are holding one or two tons of boulders in their claws.

Obviously, if they were to fly thousands of meters above the ground and smash these boulders down, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.

Of course, in front of this mutant animal, there are a large group of mutant insects serving as cannon fodder.

And most of them are mutated insects that can fly, so although these are cannon fodder, they are still a huge threat.

If they leap over the city wall to the rear and kill the logistics personnel, the consequences will be equally serious.

Of course, Ye Feng also saw some mutant insects with particularly bright colors. These should be those mutant insects that can release toxins.

Boom boom boom!

Before the large army of mutated creatures could approach, the artillery battalion started firing violently.

Howitzers and mortars fell into the dense army of mutant creatures one after another, and a large area in front of the city wall turned into a sea of ​​fire.

However, blood splattering did not happen.

These fifth- and sixth-level mutant animals are fully capable of withstanding the damage of these mortars.

Even mutated insects with relatively weak defenses were at best knocked to the ground by the shock wave, but they quickly climbed back up and continued moving forward.

Although they cannot be killed by explosion, these mutated creatures do not mean that they are ineffective.

With their defensive power, they can indeed withstand the shock wave, but when the shells fall directly on them and are in the center of the explosion, they can still cause damage.

And as long as these mutated animals are injured, they will be affected to some extent in the subsequent battle.

It would be even better if their joints or wings could be damaged, thus affecting their movements.

It is precisely because of these considerations that the current bombing is taking place.

However, the mutant animal army advanced very quickly, and soon they were within 2 kilometers of the city wall.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall raised their Destroyer hand cannons and began to shoot.

Suddenly, more intensive roars resounded throughout the entire city wall, and the momentum was quite huge.

However, the effect was not so satisfactory.

Because the firing rate of the Destroyer hand cannon was still too slow, and in front of the mutant animal army, there was a group of mutant insects acting as cannon fodder to resist.

More importantly, these mutant creatures are not targets, they will dodge.

If you can't hit their heads, even with the power of the Destroyer hand cannon, it is difficult to cause enough damage to kill them.

And is it easy to hit their heads? Of course it is not easy.

Although the heads of mutant animals are large, and these soldiers also have auxiliary aiming instruments, the probability of hitting the head is only about 50%.

The firing rate of the Destroyer hand cannon is slow, and the hit rate is not high, which directly led to the mutant animal army easily breaking through their firepower network and coming to the bottom of the city wall.

Although this wall is as high as 6 floors, it is nothing to mutant animals. They can jump up directly with a leap.

In this case, the contestants stationed at various places on the city wall finally took action.

Flames, water arrows, thunderstorms, hurricanes, and superpowers appeared everywhere on the city wall.

They bombarded the mutant animals that wanted to jump onto the city wall again.

And the soldiers behind them would also seize the time to fire.

In this close-range situation, their shooting accuracy can be greatly enhanced.

The hit rate can be increased to at least 90%, and the killing efficiency has increased a lot for a while.

But Ye Feng knew very well that in order to maintain this situation, these players needed to continuously release their superpowers and engage in this high-intensity confrontation.

When the spiritual energy in their bodies was consumed too much and they could not hold on, this situation would immediately collapse.

Ye Feng looked at the mutant creatures pouring in all over the mountains and plains, and even he felt powerless.

In this situation, the power of one person is insignificant, even he is no exception.

Even if he could kill 100 mutant animals with one move, there are millions of mutant creatures here, how could he kill them all.

But even so, Ye Feng still took out the Thunder Gun from the storage bracelet.

Although he could not rely on his personal ability to resist the mutant creature brigade.

But he could kill those elite sixth-level mutant animals.
