wild trail

Chapter 348
With roads, not only is it convenient for the common people to travel, but for the army, the smooth roads speed up the marching speed a lot. It took more than a month for the army of nearly a thousand people to rush from Tongshan City to the southern city. port.

The arrival of the army did not cause panic among the local residents. After repairing at the port for a few days, the soldiers were sent across the big river by small boat. According to the guidance of the map, they went to the habitat of those giant insects non-stop.

According to the map, it will take at least a month to get there from the port, and it is very dangerous to go through the dense jungle. There are no roads in this jungle, and all supplies can only rely on auxiliary soldiers, or Some soldiers were transported in backpacks.

Although the road is difficult, for the well-trained Xia army, these difficulties can be overcome.

The two generals walked in the middle of the team, commenting on the surrounding environment from time to time, looking quite relaxed.

There are some common beasts near the port, nothing more than dinosaurs or large mammals. These large beasts themselves are not seen by the army armed to the teeth.

These wild beasts in the south are still unfamiliar to humans. During the march of the army, there will be wild beasts jumping out to attack humans, but there is only one end, and that is to provide the soldiers with better food conditions.

After walking through the jungle for a month, the terrain gradually became more complicated.

After turning over a small hill, the trees here became more and more dense, and the jungle was filled with fog, which seriously hindered the soldiers' vision.

General Yang Shu saw how strange this place was, so he couldn't help becoming vigilant, and said to another general, Chen Su: "General Chen, it looks strange to drive here!"

Chen Su nodded and said, "There is indeed something wrong. Since I came to that hillside, I can't even hear the birdsong here."

Yang Shu yelled just in case, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is on alert, the auxiliary soldiers are inside, the soldiers are outside, and maintain the battle formation."

The soldiers moved quickly when they heard the words, the auxiliary soldiers took off the soldiers' armors, and helped the soldiers quickly put on the armors. After a while, the soldiers who put on the iron armors suddenly looked much more powerful, like a torrent of steel passing by. Everything is leveled.

After spending a day carefully in this weird jungle, at the end of the day, everyone did not see a single animal. This made the soldiers who had game to eat along the way complain, disappointed with this place, and scolded this place. Where the birds don't shit.

The soldiers gnawed dry and hard bread, drank boiled water, and rested in pain all night in this humid jungle.

The cool breeze at night took away the humidity and heat of the day, but the dew in the morning wet all the soldiers' clothes, and the Harmony soldiers hadn't bathed for several months since they left Copper Mountain City. On the mushy skin, the taste is so sour.

The sun shines through the lush bushes, leaving mottled reflections on the ground. As the sun gradually rises, the jungle becomes more and more sultry.

Yang Shu licked his thirsty lips, and said, "What the hell is this place, it's hotter than Yancheng."

Chen Su smiled and said, "General Yang, maybe we have already arrived at the target location, don't those disgusting bugs just like to live here?"

Yang Shu nodded when he heard the words, and said: "I have the same feeling. There is not even a wild beast here. If we walk further today, we might meet those bugs. Let's quickly get rid of all the debris here. I am here. I don't want to stay for another day."

After cursing this ghostly place for a while, the two urged the soldiers to assemble.

The jungle is still extremely silent, and there are no other animals in this world except this human army.

At this moment, Chen Su vaguely heard Sasha's voice, and at first he thought he was hallucinating, but suddenly that Sasha's voice became more dense.

Chen Su was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop moving forward."

The corner of Yang Shu's mouth twitched and said, "Damn it, I finally met a living creature."

Shouting to the soldiers behind him: "Cheer up, everyone, don't let these bugs kill you, I will embarrass you when the time comes."

The soldiers laughed out loud when they heard the words, and the tension in the recruits' hearts could not help but be relieved.

The soldiers stood ready, listening to the increasingly dense salsa sounds, the weapons in their hands could not help but clenched a bit.

Not long after, everyone finally saw what was rushing towards them.

A large group of fist-sized ants appeared in the jungle ahead. The group of ants raised their heads with their sharp mouthparts, staring at this group of rare flesh and blood in front of them.

"I thought it was a bird thing, but I didn't think it was a group of ants. Damn it, I will taste the taste of these big ants today. Brothers, it's just a group of ants. Grenadiers come out and blow them up." Poplar roared.

"Lanceman takes cover." Chen Su said hastily.

With the crashing sound of armor, one hundred and one grenadiers stepped out under the cover of spearmen.

This group crawled around as if observing the group of prey in front of them, looking for a suitable attack route.

But with their low IQ, they don't understand why this group of prey stands here stupidly. In this jungle, they haven't met their opponents yet.

Suddenly, a large black object in the air flew towards the ant group with sparks, and the group of sackcloth subconsciously avoided it.

However, when the fuze burned out, successive explosions resounded through the jungle.

After the explosion, there was a mess in front of it, and a large piece of trees as thick as an arm fell in a row. Because the ant colony was too dense, this increased the effect of the explosion.

There were mutilated corpses of ants all over the ground. This round of attack immediately blinded the ant colony, and the dizzy ant colony screamed in a panic.

Yang Shu was very satisfied with the effect of the bombing, and killed more than half of the group in one blow.

"It's a mere worm who dares to run wild on my land in Daxia. It's just looking for death. Grenadier, keep bombing and kill them all." Yang Shu shouted with a grinning grin.

However, this group of ants that suffered heavy casualties did not seem to know what fear is. The death of so many companions did not make them take a half step back. After a short period of panic, one of the largest ants let out a clear and audible cry After the hissing sound, the ant colony gathered together one at a time.

Only this time, the ant colony didn't confront the humans, and directly attacked the human army.

Seeing this, Chen Su thought something was wrong. The ant colony was crawling so fast that the grenadiers had no time to ignite the gunpowder. Even if it was lit, detonating the grenade at such a short distance would not only cause the ant colony to go to the west, It will also be blown up.

In a panic, Chen Su shouted loudly: "The grenadiers retreat, the spearmen step forward, the sword and shield hands are behind, and meet the enemy."

These new recruits with no battlefield experience were immediately panicked when they saw the black ant colony rushing towards them with strange screams. The rapidity seems to be different from the same army.

Seeing the appearance of his army, Yang Shu gritted his teeth angrily, and cursed: "Do you all want to die, hurry up and line up."

When the ant colony was still more than one meter away from the army, the panicked soldiers finally finished their formation.

Seeing the soldiers in the front row of the ant colony rushing like a tide, their faces were already pale with fright, and their hands holding the spears trembled uncontrollably.

Faced with hideous and terrifying insects, human beings instinctively feel fear in their hearts. Even facing the most ferocious beasts, En can't feel that kind of fear.

"Spearman, kill!" Chen Su shouted.

The soldiers recovered from their panic, and stabbed the big ant to death with the spears in their hands.

But the ant colony is too dense, even if most of them were killed in the first round of bombing, it is estimated that there are hundreds of them left.

The human city wall made up of soldiers was difficult to block the attack of the ant colony. Some soldiers had already strung three or four large ants on their spears, which made the sharp spears lose their stabbing function. These soldiers had no choice but to use the spears in their hands Using the spear as a club, he knocked down the rushing sackcloth one by one.

While resisting the attack of the ants, Chen Su looked quickly at the rear of the ant colony. There is a saying that shoots people first, shoots horses, and captures thieves first, and captures the king first. Chen Su thinks that the ant with short wings in the back is very It may be the leader of this ant colony. As long as he is killed, these ant colonies will have no leader and let themselves be slaughtered.

"Archer, aim at the red ant in front and kill it." Chen Su roared.

When Yang Shu heard the words, he immediately understood what Chen Su meant, and shouted: "The grenadiers attack together."

The soldiers who hid behind the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers and were in charge of long-range attacks did not face such intense pressure. They were still calm at the moment, and many archers and dozens of grenadiers launched attacks at the same time.

The whistling feather arrows flew towards the ant queen like rain. Under the covering shooting, the ant queen can be said to be unable to hide, but its hard exoskeleton makes the arrows cause little damage to it. Apart from causing a little pain, it can't achieve the effect of a fatal blow at all.

The ant queen withstood the arrow's attack with difficulty, but one of the grenades that followed the arrow fell right beside the ant queen.The sound of the fuze burning made it instinctively feel the danger, dragging its bloated belly to prepare to escape from this dangerous thing.

But the speed of the fuze burning was extremely fast, and the rumbling sound of the explosion reminded me that dozens of grenades exploded almost at the same time.

The deafening roar made Chen Su's eardrums buzz, and the ground under his feet trembled like an earthquake.

A group of offensives were stopped in this violent explosion.

And the queen who was at the center of the explosion had already lost all its bones and turned into ashes.

Without the queen ant, the ant colony suddenly became leaderless and panicked.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Shu and Chen Su ordered the soldiers to attack with all their might.

The spearmen retreated, and the sword and shield stepped forward.

Facing the panicked ants, the human soldiers immediately gained the upper hand. They even threw away the shields on their wrists and stomped hard. The sound was as exciting as countless eggshells shattering at the same time.

In a blink of an eye, human beings defeated the ant colony, and the few big ants fled here in panic, and the shouts of killing gradually subsided.

After the battle, the soldiers sat on the ground exhausted, only then did they realize that the clothes on their bodies had already been washed like water.

The heavy disc helmets were removed, and the tired soldiers leaned against each other.

Chen Su gasped and said, "In the battle just now, I feel like I'm back to the time when I was fighting against the Five Divisions."

Yang Shu pouted without cutting his lips and said: "It's just a group of disgusting bugs, how can it be compared with that battle, how many people died at that time, look at it now, except for a few soldiers whose hands and feet were cut several times Other than that, there's nothing wrong with it."

Chen Su shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't you look at what weapons we are using now. If there is no gunpowder, we don't know how many people would have died just now."

Mentioning gunpowder, Yang Shu said with a painful face, "Most of the grenadiers I bring are grenadiers. This grenade is a consistent amount of money. The ones I threw out just now are almost my one-year salary. They are used to kill the gunpowder." These bugs are such a fucking waste."

"Don't talk about these useless things, look at those wounded soldiers. There is a lack of medicine and medicine in this damn place. The brothers were brought out by you. We have to bring them back alive." Chen Su said slowly.

Yang Shu nodded, stood up from the ground, patted the dirt on his butt, walked to his soldiers, and checked the condition of the wounded.

The wounded in this battle were all minor injuries, most of which were on the hands and feet, and there was nothing serious about them.

The two doctors accompanying the army, who were proficient in medical skills, carefully cleaned the wounds of these soldiers with alcohol, and wrapped the wounds with the prepared clean sackcloth.

Seeing that the soldiers were fine, Yang Shu heaved a sigh of relief, remembering the panic of the soldiers just now, he was out of breath, and roared through gritted teeth, "Stand up for me."

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why their commander was so nervous, they had won the battle, and they didn't know where the anger came from.

"Just now your performance was really bad, that is to say, you were lucky. You were facing stupid ants. If you encountered enemies or dinosaurs, you would have died a long time ago. If anyone gets flustered in the future, don't blame me for not reading for many years. If you are a man, show your courage. At worst, you will die. If you are afraid of a fart, you will die in battle. You are the hero of Daxia, and you were executed by our military law. "Yang Shu roared angrily.

The soldiers couldn't help but shuddered when they heard the words, and shouted loudly: "Understood!"

"Sit down and rest, the auxiliary soldiers will clean up the battlefield." Yang Shu roared.

While the auxiliary soldiers were cleaning up the corpses of the ants, Chen Su walked up to Yang Shu and said, "General Yang, most of the brothers are on the battlefield for the first time, so panic is inevitable, so why get so angry."

Yang Shu snorted coldly and said, "General Chen, you only have one life. On the battlefield, it doesn't matter whether you are a recruit or not. Only with courage can you live longer."

Chen Su shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, and said nothing more.
