MTL - After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master-Chapter 169 Bloody Battle at Tieyanguan (Part 2)
Chapter 169 The **** battle at Tieyanguan (Part 2)
Get down from the back of the tower.
Dong Fang counted the number of soldiers who came down and said, "Everyone counts."
After a while, the head count was completed.
There are ninety-eight people left in total.
Dong Fang's face was gloomy. After a round and a half of fighting just now, the remaining number of people in this defense line was reduced by 18 people.
At the time of counting in front of the city tower, there were 116 people.
In less than half a day’s work, 15.5% of the people were lost.
This ratio may not sound high, but you must know that they are only responsible for this area of defense.
There are sixty sections of defense line of their size on the city tower.
If the proportion of losses in other areas is similar, this one and a half conflict alone would have cost thousands of people.
Chen Xing lowered his head and ate the noodles.
Some local tycoons and aristocratic families have gained a lot of strength through this. You also know that people can easily have other thoughts when they suddenly gain strength.
Chen Xing was thoughtful, as if this was the case.
It is like the elite cavalry in ancient times. It requires raising horses and soldiers, and investing a lot of resources to be effective! Of course, the effect is also very obvious. After each beast master is formed, one person can exert the destructive power equivalent to a previous tactical team.
“Actually, how long this battle can last depends mainly on taking care of the general and General Zhang.”
Chen Xing and Dong Fang talked about a question, "I see there are some private beast masters in the city. Why not recruit those private beast masters?"
Dong Fang said: "Go back and have a good rest, adjust your condition, and be ready to take over from the brothers on the tower at any time."
In the past few years, secret realms have appeared all over Daxia, and many people have entered the secret realms and gained opportunities to become beast masters.
So in order to better stabilize the situation, the army has trained animal masters on a large scale.
Dong Fang said suddenly.
Let the fourth line of defense in the rear successfully gather enough strength to completely block this foreign invasion from the fourth line of defense.
He himself was a little unsure. According to today's casualty ratio, could he last for eight days?
Eight days later, how many comrades are still alive?
If you can become a super-level beast master, you will directly become a deterrent-level force.
Dong Fang shook his head, "No one knows what trump cards the other party has. If the other party has any trump cards that haven't been used yet, what if we, the super-level beast masters, all get together and are wiped out by Foreign Land?"
But he knew that even if he said it, Dong Fang wouldn't hear it.
Speaking of this, Dong Fang suddenly fell silent.
Dong Fang shook his head, "I just tried my best to hold them back. If I could defeat them, I would have repelled the opponent's super-level beast masters long before the first and second lines of defense were breached."
Chen Xing followed Dong Fang to the canteen.
Moreover, his skills are varied and his abilities are strange. In the later stage of his growth, the destructive power of a senior beast master is far beyond that of ordinary missiles and artillery.
Beast control is not like a thermal weapon. It can be put into use immediately after it is made.
Chen Xing said: "I'm looking for General and General Zhang to be able to hold back the opponent's beast."
And these are all beast masters!
Daxia has just carried out a comprehensive armed reform that brought beast control into the army less than fifteen years ago.
"Your idea has not been mentioned before, but on the one hand, civilian beast masters do not like to be restrained. On the other hand, they have not been trained and cannot adapt to the army's battle formation. If they join the battlefield rashly, it may have the opposite effect."
Dong Fang nodded.
Dong Fang said to himself. "The troops in the rear are gathering on the fourth line of defense. We have to fight for at least half a month. It's only been a week now, and we have to hold on for at least eight days."
"Only super-level beast masters can resist the super-level beast masters. Without them holding back the opponent's super-level beast masters, it would be much easier for the opponent to break through Iron Rock Pass than it is now. The super-level beast masters will directly attack the tower. Who can stop it?" ?”
The two of them sat together with noodles in their hands. Dong Fang took two mouthfuls of noodles and thought of something. He squeezed the chopsticks tightly in his hand.
When the beast masters on the tower run out of magic power, they will be needed to take over if the enemy attacks again in the next round.
Dong Fang shook his head: "There are many among the people. You may not believe it when I tell you. In fact, the large-scale training of beast masters in the army was largely due to these civilian beast masters.
“Let’s all go and have a rest.” Dong Fang felt a little depressed.
After the large-scale training of beast masters in the army, there was some chaos in various places in the past few years, but now it has become quiet. "
Not to mention the taste, it’s quite delicious.
“We still have super beast masters, why don’t we come together to repel the opponent.”
This ravine is not about other aspects, but simply the way of fighting is very different.
At this point, Dong Fang paused and said, "Brothers who died, please bring them down."
In the past fifteen years, the number of beast masters trained in the northern theater of war was only about 30,000.
Chen Xing guessed what Dong Fang was thinking. He wanted to tell Dong Fang seriously, you defended it back then, not only for eight days, but also for a whole month.
“During the battle just now, we all carried them down.” said a lieutenant next to him.
Chen Xing raised his head and looked at him, "Why do you say that?"
The two of them ordered a noodle dish. Although it was wartime, food security was still maintained.
Even in later generations, there was an invisible gap between the beast masters in the army and the beast masters among the people.
I heard that many of the beast masters in the army are gregarious beast masters, and they understand how to fight in groups.
Most of the people in Kyushu University, including many private beast masters and some beast masters in groups, formed exploration teams.
The routes and directions taken by the two sides are completely different.
At this moment, there was sudden commotion outside.
There were still some faint voices of dispute.
Dong Fang put down his chopsticks, frowned and walked outside. He wanted to see what was going on. Are there still people making trouble during this special period? !
He and Chen Xing came outside.
A group of beast masters were arguing around an officer.
“What are you making all the noise about?” Dong Fang said coldly.
At the same time, he summoned the Snow Bamboo Swordsman.
The Snow Bamboo Swordsman who just came down from the battlefield carries a strong evil spirit!
A strong evil aura hit his face, and the beast masters who were making a lot of noise just now fell silent instantly.
Looks like he is still very afraid of the cold murderous aura of the Snow Bamboo Swordsman.
“We are not making trouble!” one of the beast masters shouted.
“Then what are you arguing about here?”
"Sir, they want to join the battlefield." The lieutenant next to him quickly explained, and after speaking he smiled bitterly, "But there is a policy from above that does not allow civilian beast masters to be accepted, so I asked them to go back. They refused, and their voices were a bit loud. "
"I am also from Daxia, and we also want to contribute. Why don't we do it? Do you think I am weak? My beast master also has an energy level of fifty. It can also go to the battlefield to kill those stupid foreigners." The famous beast master shouted loudly.
"The aliens came in. I ran from Beitie City to Yuyue Pass, and then from Yuyue Pass to Tieyan Pass. Do I have to keep running next time? I don't want to run away!"
“Yes, we Liaodong people are not afraid of death!”
"I have killed seven foreign cubs before I came here. Unfortunately, they mostly move in groups. If there are more people behind them, there will be no chance." A bearded man said.
As soon as these words came out, many people around him looked at him.
Seeing the people around him looking at him, the bearded man took out a bag from his waist and poured it out. A large number of jingling bits and pieces fell out.
"I got this from some exotic kid. It's a bit like a storage bag. The space inside is as big as a trunk."
"I see that you are also an officer. We also want to contribute to the nation. If we are afraid of death, we will not sign up. There are many beast masters who want to help. We can help contact you. Go and talk to the people above you. Let's talk about it, we see that those brats from the foreign land are attacking the city very quickly, so the pressure on you should be quite big." The bearded man looked at Dong Fang.
Dong Fang showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "What's your name?"
“Han Tianhu, I have the 100th level of beast control, so I should be qualified to fight on the battlefield.” The strong man said boldly.
Dong Fang said: "I'll go and ask. If it doesn't work, don't make trouble."
Han Tianhu said: "You have just come down from the front line. We respect you. You will never make trouble until you get the news! Whoever dares to make trouble, I will suppress him first!"
Dong Fang took Chen Xing to find Gu Yuzhi.
After listening to what Dong Fang said, Gu Yuzhi was silent for a moment and then said: "When our country is in trouble, it's a good thing to stand up."
“But defending the city is a difficult task, and many things are simple to say. What if you go up to the city tower, experience the war personally, and directly break up and run away after some people die.
There will be an extra gap in the city tower. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the enemy is likely to come in through this gap. "
Qian Peiquan said: "Lao Gu, it is actually a good thing to have more fresh troops. Now that we are defending the city, we must unite all the forces that need to be utilized in the city."
“I think there is a way to solve it.”
Qian Peiquan organized his words, "We can first register the beast masters who are willing to contribute, and conduct an investigation first to prevent foreign spies from being mixed in.
Although it has been checked before, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.
We don’t understand the private beast masters’ own system, but they definitely know each other relatively well. Private beast masters can be asked to 'sponsor' each other to confirm their identities.
These private animal masters must be well-known in the local area. It is a righteous act for them to participate. Their names can be registered and publicized. If there are any inappropriate ones, the people can also respond.
After confirming their identities, organize everyone into small teams according to the attributes and abilities of the beasts, and then conduct a short military training.
If there are people who are unwilling to accept training during the process, there is no need to go to the tower, and some other tasks can be arranged. "
No one else has an opinion on this.
"At the same time, do not let these civilian beast masters gather together. They should be divided into groups of ten and dispersed to different defense areas. They should cooperate with military beast masters with combat experience and lead them to adapt to the war in the same way that veterans lead new recruits. .
In addition, ordinary people, if they are willing to contribute, can also temporarily join the battle as militiamen. "
Hearing the previous words was nothing, but when he heard the last sentence, Gu Yuzhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Old Qian, are you crazy?"
At this time, open the mouth of the militia, how many people will join.
"There are enough supplies and weapons in Guanli." Qian Peiquan interrupted him.
Gathering materials in the surrounding provinces, all kinds of materials in Tieyanguan are now sufficient.
Gu Yuzhi’s expression was uncertain.
Qian Peiquan, who always looked gentle, had extremely sharp eyes at this moment, "Don't you want to fight him in a foreign land? Then fight him! I Daxia people are not afraid of death! I will bite off a piece of meat from him even if he dies. If your entire nation doesn't show any ruthlessness, If you are not afraid of death, others will always bully you!"
“Today is the Burning Sky Giant City, will there be other giant cities participating tomorrow?!”
“Integrity is something that must be built with blood and soul!”
Gu Yuzhi did not expect that the person who made this suggestion would be Qian Peiquan, "Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
Qian Peiquan said calmly: "I know that if so many people die, there must be an explanation. I am not as good at controlling beasts as you, so I probably have no hope of becoming transcendent, but I have to do something, right?"
Chen Xing stood aside and suddenly understood the origin of the two million militiamen in Tieyanguan.
Historical books do not record it in detail, but simply mention the deeds of two million militiamen and 1.5 million regular troops holding the Iron Rock Pass.
He suddenly had a trancelike illusion of witnessing history.
The public announcement list was released quickly, and the whole Tieyanguan immediately became excited.
There was an endless stream of people signing up to join the army, and the Tieyan Pass Provisional Military Headquarters had to issue an emergency announcement, requiring women, children and the elderly who were not beast masters to evacuate the pass as soon as possible.
Militia recruitment is strictly limited to young adults between the ages of 18 and 50.
At this moment, this towering steel giant seemed to have been injected with new vitality and turned into a giant war machine.
