I can downgrade maintenance

Chapter 164 Fight Again
The third day that Zhou Ning intervened in the battle of Mount Paektu.

Thanks to the great assistance of the Pioneer Army Engineering Corps, the Paektu Mountain Fortress has taken on a new look.

Not only the internal renovation was completed very quickly, but the external renovation was almost completed.

Originally, the National Guard Army relied on the mountain to build a semi-circular long-walled battle fort.The grade is average, and a trench was dug in front, and there is no running water nearby, so piles, grease, etc. were installed.

But these things, to be honest, don't do much.That is, the spray tube on the wall, which still has some deterrent effect.

After a quick transformation by the Vanguard Engineering Corps, it immediately became different.

Not only the walls are widened and thickened, but also high and low battle forts are built, with machine guns, fire towers, and bombardment platforms mixed and matched.

Bombardment platforms are specially prepared for mortars.

This kind of super-large-caliber short-range artillery can be mass-produced only by uploading the design blueprint in the arsenal.

Compared with the Patriotic Army, they are more familiar with this weapon, and it is easier to form a mutually complete combat relationship with their army.

After all, the Patriotic Army is an old-style army, and weapons that are too advanced do not match it.

Compared with primitive weapons, they are better complementary to each other, and can immediately improve the combat power of the Patriotic Army.

In addition to mortars and flamethrowers, they are also very popular with the National Guard.

Whether it is a single model or a heavy one, it is very popular.

In the words of a grassroots officer: "It is not only a sharp weapon for killing the enemy, but also a sharp weapon for destroying corpses. Even the ashes are thrown away by it. Let's see what the bugs will take back to add food."

And the Sand Wolf Chariot.

The officers of the Patriotic Army understood it as an enhanced version of cavalry archers.

With strong firepower and strong mobility, it is a good hand to contain and harass.

Yuan Haoyi repeatedly lamented that such a powerful guerrilla force came at the right time.

Obviously, they are not unaware of their own shortcomings, but unable to make up for them.

Now not only can I make up for the shortcomings, but it is far better than expected, so it is naturally exciting.

Goliath is also good, with strong firepower, anti-air and ground, cannons can create barrage, and anti-air missiles can also kill a piece of air.And the two-legged characteristic, can flexibly go up and down the city wall by itself...

The officers and soldiers of the National Guard said that if Goliath had assisted the guards on the platform of the spitting tube in the previous battle, even if those air combat bugs launched a surprise attack, it would be no different from delivering food.

As for the wild donkey fighters, the Wei Guojun only kept four squadrons in the end. To put it bluntly, they were the ones sent by Zhou Ning.

At Yuan Haoyi's request, the Xinggang facility originally established in the fortress of Mount Baitu was replaced by a second arsenal.

One dedicated to the production of sand wolf chariots, and one dedicated to the production of Goliath.In Yuan Haoyi's words: "The National Defense Army focuses on the construction of ground forces."

Well, the Wild Donkey was disliked.From the point of view of today's Wei Guojun, talking about air supremacy is neither suitable for the occasion nor cost-effective, so it's worth noting.

Zhou Ning respected the choice of the Wei Guojun. Anyway, the Pioneer Army is producing non-stop.

According to Zhou Ning's cognition, the number of fighter planes in the Xinzhou border should be kept at more than [-].

After all, the centipede is dead but not stiff, and the magic pintle that was cleaned up by the annihilation bomb has almost recovered its old appearance now, and even after getting familiar with the terrain, the threat is even greater than before.

This means that there are at least three long-term battlefields that need to be looked after.

Moreover, with the passage of time, the magic pintle has become somewhat immune to Yingxiu's tactics.

There was no obvious tendency to collapse before, because the power of the evil way held the coffin lid like spikes.

Now that the evil way has suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Bone Bodhisattva, the situation has deteriorated.

The intelligence compiled by the shadow repairer who worked overtime in the past few days also confirmed some of Zhou Ning's guesses.

Previously, the guarding effect of evil forces was mainly reflected in the ground, not the ground.

On the surface, the towns controlled by the evil way are not much different from the inland cities. Those like Lijia Town, which are gloomy and solemn on the outside, are in the minority after all.

The core content of the evil way is basically underground.

In this regard, the similarity between the Six Paths of the Demon Sect is actually relatively high.

After all, Sha is the main resource for cultivation.

Therefore, in Xinzhou, the first place and the second place are basically controlled by evil ways.

When the magic crocodile lands, it comes from three or four places, and it is bound to pass through one place and two places.

The first to be wiped out by Zhou Ning with annihilation bombs was the magic gnat that landed directly.

At that time, the devil gnats ran to the abundant resources on the surface, animals and plants, and they could swallow any kind of meat or vegetables.

After being slapped in the face, he was forced to start drawing slowly.

That is, push up layer by layer.

Against this background, conflicts with the evil monks were inevitable.

Therefore, the current insect plague can be described as flooding the golden mountain, completely infiltrating upwards, unlike the previous ones, which were like a volcanic eruption, surging with momentum, but its main force was concentrated in one area.

All-out war was inevitable, and Zhou Ning decided to squander some money as he happened to have some money on hand.

The main thing is to look at the land in Xinzhou.

As the saying goes, whether it is good or not is a comparison.In terms of climate and soil, the name Beihuang is really correct.Compared with Xinzhou, it's not even a star.

That is to say, the technology provided by the system is awesome, the whole category is simple and closed-loop, and there are certain resources and market complements from Shanhai City, otherwise Glazed City would have gone bankrupt.

However, willfulness is willfulness after all. For the same effort, if it is in Xinzhou, the return will be three hundred, but in Glazed City it will be one hundred. How many years can such a difference be willful?
This is not 500 people, and it’s not bad to play casually. This is a base of 70 people, and it will naturally increase. What will happen in ten years?What about a hundred years from now?

From the lord's point of view, this big account cannot be ignored.

The stiff neck said no problem, gritted his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.If you just play casually, you can bear it.

Two cities, I just want to use the game mode to play a super version of the Great Northern Wilderness turning into a land of fish and rice, dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky.

But if the salvation plan is added... the beep will be very low.

Looking back at the messy Xinzhou now, Zhou Ning felt that this was an opportunity.

It is an opportunity to start a large-scale farming model early.

By digging out the roots of the Xinzhou magic crocodile, it is possible that this land will be brought under his actual control early on, and the mode of farming and grain storage will be started.

Clean up and build here for a year or two, and recuperate for three to five years. The commercial firms established in other countries over there are also operating normally.

Then you can start the strategy of accepting refugees.Accumulate material background and experience for large-scale organization of refugee escape in the future, as well as self-help in production.

After a simple calculation, you will find that there is really not much time left for him.

As before, we must find resources first, then set up a base, how many fields to plant, and how many people to raise, we will definitely not be in a hurry.

You have to learn from those real estate tycoons in your previous life, venture capital, even if you don’t hesitate to eat your own food, borrow money and spend money, you have to set up the project for him first.

Of course, he thinks to himself that at least now he is not the kind of person who does not hesitate to play a Ponzi scheme. He is just exploiting himself, and he has just started to engage in public welfare before the first bucket of gold has been dug up.

It's really public welfare, he can't think of where the profit point of the world salvation plan is.

There are affirmations from time to time, but for him, the main thing is to please his conscience.

Playing so big, to borrow the words of {Crazy Stone} Brother Dao: You boy, it is really costly to pick up girls!

……

General Xiejiao of the Baosha Department couldn't hold it back for three days, and finally launched a new round of attack on the Paektu Mountain Fortress on the fourth day.

It can't be completely blamed for such poor endurance. After all, maintaining an army of devil pintles consumes a lot of resources.

A large quantity is one aspect, and a fast metabolism is another aspect.

Roughly calculated, if the army of devil pinworms is produced and does not fight for [-] consecutive days, the consumption of its maintenance will be more than half of the cost of producing a new army of the same amount.

Of course, this refers to the cannon fodder arms, excluding middle and senior commanders.

This is the price of extreme explosive troops.

Under the invisible impetus of such situations, the magic crocodile is really just reckless in many cases.

The passage was still opened next to the edge of the soil-fixing circle, and then the magic crocodile, like a torrent, gushed out of these holes and charged towards the fortress of Mount Baitu.

The captain-level leader of the magic crocodile, possessing the basic ability to cast spells.

They use spells to connect the individual qi, blood and evil power of their own team into one, thus forming the effect of sharing life and sharing damage.

In this way, an ordinary cannonball, unless it hits the team and explodes, it can't do anything to them.

Moreover, the team's common destiny is only the most basic use of transcendence.

Intermediate commanders can also bless a wider range of extraordinary effects.

The mid-level commander of the devil crocodile is quite different from the ordinary devil crocodile just by looking at its appearance. It is bigger, more majestic, more ferocious, and its body is full of brilliance.

Although they are as bright as targets, their guards are as conspicuous as them.

It is difficult to tell the difference from each other if you just look at it with the naked eye.

Only by sensing the flow of extraordinary power can one distinguish who is the core and who is the guard.

But in the big battlefield, the smoke is filled with smoke and the evil spirit is soaring into the sky. How easy is it to distinguish in time?Veteran real people, or cultivators who transform themselves into gods, can do it, but how can such people be at the forefront?

Two city gates were opened, and the Baitou Mountain Fortress took the initiative to attack this time. More than 200 sand wolf chariots rushed out at high speed, like a giant python, and began to detour from the flanks.

And at the height of the fortress, three remodeled orbital platforms protruded, and the wild donkey fighters took off one after another, adjusted their posture confidently, and began to dive and shoot.

About fifteen kilometers away from the battlefield in a straight line, the vanguard army who received the news also started to act.

Split into two combat units, Alpha and Beta.The Alpha Squad went to support the Paektusan Fortress, and once they were in position, they would echo with the Sandwolf convoy to which the fortress belonged, and launch an attack on the other flank of the Demon Army.

The advancing direction of the Beta battle group is to insert obliquely behind the army of the crocodile, with the intention of cutting off the crocodile's retreat, including going underground to fight.So this force was followed by a not-insignificant engineering regiment.

The forwards of the magic crocodile entered the artillery range of the fortress, and all the long-range firepower platforms within reach of the fortress spoke one after another, but the firing frequency was not high.Obviously shooting calibration.

Zhou Ning's support not only boosted the morale of the National Guard Army, but also provided enough ammunition for the beep of 'listen to my roar'.

The magic pintle began to show obvious casualties.

Xie Jiao, who was watching the battle, noticed the change in the firepower of the Paektu Fortress.

Not simply enhanced, but orderly.

During the last attack, only the artillery group platform could achieve the fire coverage effect of large-scale destruction.This time, those scattered shooting windows can actually produce a more concentrated and neat coverage effect.

This means that the rushing war bugs basically have no chance of recovering the protective force field, and they are often taken away as soon as they are hit.

Indeed, the transformation provided by Zhou Ning not only upgraded the gun positions, but also made the layout more reasonable.A fire control system is also provided.

The fire control system enables better coordination among scattered cannon fodder, and then shortens the interval between firing and shooting, and the overall efficiency is higher.

Of course, the Mustang fighters also played a role. Their cannons aimed at the mid-level commander of the crocodile, interfered with and consumed them, making the overall defense system of the crocodile more fragile and dull.

However, Zhan Chong still maintained a brave attacking momentum, and in just over ten minutes, the striker had already approached the city.

The machine guns and mortars on the city wall began to sound, causing heavy losses to the war insects.

In the distance, Xie Jiao, who saw this scene, gave two orders in succession.

One is the order for the reserve war worms to join the battle.

In the army barracks of the devils underground, the war insects that were deeply asleep were awakened in batches.

These war bugs have only recently hatched, and once awakened, they will not be able to enter the energy-saving mode of the fetal breath level again.

This is the reserve combat power, the biggest difference from the active combat power.

Another order of the evil horn is to let the giant war worms appear.

This is a heavy unit that was not dispatched in the last siege.

This time, the evil horn's will to attack was a little more resolute.

Of course, there is also the self-confidence of actively preparing for the battle these days.

After the third party was suddenly killed in the last battle, the evil horn communicated with the queen in the rear.

One of the main purposes of communication is intelligence acquisition.

The reconnaissance unit sent by Xiejiao against the vanguard army was repeatedly frustrated by the joint attack of dire rats and leopard insects.The key intelligence of the Vanguard Army has never been obtained.

However, it's not like there's no gain at all.

The devil crocodile also has high-level scouts and even assassins at the real level.

These high-level demon crocodiles have similar status to general crocodile, but the division of labor is different.

Even though such units were dispatched, they were still discovered in time by the anti-reconnaissance system of the Vanguard Army, but at least the samples of dire rats and leopard insects were obtained.

The magic crocodile has its own technical system, which includes methods similar to biological anatomy to detect detailed information.

From the technical point of view of taking the biological path, the technical level of the magic pintle is not low.

But after a series of anatomical analysis, the magic pintle came to the conclusion that it was a 'first encounter'.

In order to ensure the correctness of the conclusion, the violent queen contacted several other queens who were active in the new state area.

They are all from the Xieshi clan. Although there is internal competition, they are now eating the big cake together, and there is still a basic tacit understanding of cooperation.

However, long-distance communication is only possible between worm queens. Ordinary devil gnats can't afford this kind of spiritual satellite phone.

This is also a major reason why the evil horn reported to the queen.

The queen worm itself can also be used as an information channel to obtain intelligence.

Now, what the evil horn fears the most is this new third party, who is with the Shadow Legion that possesses Annihilating Strike.

It is trying to collect intelligence to confirm, mainly this.

If it was indeed a "first encounter" and not the Shadow Legion, then they could fight freely. Otherwise, the strategy would have to be changed drastically.

As a result, after contacting a few 'sisters', the Queen of Violence confirmed that it was the first encounter.

Coupled with the exhausting pressure of maintaining the army, Xiejiao chose to continue the attack.

So what if the National Defense Army has third-party support?

It also has several killer features available.As long as it is not the unreasonable crushing tactics of Annihilation Strike, the outcome will only be known after a fight.
