Chapter 434 Changes
Chapter 434 Changes
This team was composed entirely of fighters, except for the Iron Demon and his two deputies who were all hired warriors, and the rest were all mounted warriors, that is, fighters of the second level.
Each of them is covered with three layers of protection. The innermost is protective clothing. After putting on the protective armor, they wear a layer of green stab-proof robe wrapped around the body. Ordinary shooting and stabbing are almost useless to them.
Each person carries five long spears with ropes on his back, which can be used to attack the enemy or to climb over obstacles.
These people crossed the sparsely packed barbed wire and trenches at the rear one by one. As for the wide trenches, they could easily cross them with the help of javelin ropes.
Once you reach the fortress wall, you just need to throw the spear at the wall and then you can climb up directly. The whole process doesn't take long.
They had conducted a thorough reconnaissance of the interior of the fortress long ago and knew its structure and the distribution of personnel inside. Everyone knew where to enter and what to do after entering.
Chen Chuan was sitting in the room at this moment, gathering his energy and spirit. At this moment, he seemed to feel something. His eyes opened and he looked at his watch. It was 4:30 in the morning.
Then he picked up the Xuejun Knife and walked out.
Looking out from the observation port, the night sky outside was still as dark as ink. Searchlights moved back and forth across the ground and walls outside, but the areas further away were pitch black and nothing could be seen.
He continued walking forward, pushed open an aisle door, came to a narrow platform, and stood there quietly.
After about half an hour, the sky gradually brightened, but there was still no movement below, and it seemed that everything was normal.
At this moment, there was a sudden alarm from the patrol team in Jieping, as if they had discovered something.
He immediately moved and came to that location along the inner corridor. When he arrived, he saw Kaicheng had already arrived and was talking to two patrolmen there. One of the soldiers was pointing to somewhere and reporting.
Chen Chuan looked over and saw spears nailed to the wall, some of which had reached the top. If a fighter was there, he would only need to flip over to enter the fortress.
At this time, footsteps were heard, and other people who received the news also arrived. Consultant Rao looked at this, a little nervous and a little excited, and said: "Sure enough, they are here!"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Is it them?"
Hai Cheng said affirmatively, "It's them. I recognize this spear, but it's not easy for them to get through the defense in front. They must have made some noise. They should be coming from behind."
"The one coming from behind..."
After hearing this, Advisor Rao immediately connected the whole thing and understood the enemy's deployment. This proved that his battle plan was not wrong and the enemy was indeed heading for Fort No. 73 this time.
But he frowned again and looked at those spearheads: "But why, they are clearly here..."
At this moment in the distance, the cavalry soldiers had retreated to their original positions.
A tall warrior came up to the knight wearing an iron mask and asked in confusion: "Captain, why did you ask us to retreat? The brothers have already reached the wall. As long as we climb over, we can immediately capture this fortress!"
The Iron Masked Knight said nothing, but just looked up at the fortress, as if waiting for something.
At this moment, the sky became brighter and the scenery in the distance began to become clearer.
Chen Chuan looked outside as if he had noticed something. He left the crowd, walked to the edge of the aisle, and looked down.
In the distance, about two kilometers away, there was a knight wearing a red iron mask sitting on horseback, with a spear with a fluttering white tassel placed across the saddle.
There was no one around him, just a man and a horse standing there.
"That's the Iron Demon, right?"
Yuan Qiyuan also saw the figure. He moved forward to take a look and said, "At this distance... the machine gun may not be able to reach it..." He turned to Hai Cheng and said, "Captain Hai, can you fire a shot at him?"
Haicheng stood there with his arms folded, shaking his head and saying, "Don't waste your energy. We've tried it before, but the Iron Demon seems to have a unique ability. Every time we fire, he moves in advance to evade.
Well, it seems like he has a special warning about danger.
That’s why he’s so difficult to deal with. We’ve never been able to catch him. There were many imperial warriors who invaded here before, but none of them were as difficult as him.”
Yuan Qiyuan sighed, "What a pity."
At this moment, the Iron Demon suddenly tilted his neck, and then a loud gunshot was heard not far away.
He looked over and saw Qin Qingque holding a halberd rifle in her hand, but she seemed a little confused as to why the other party had dodged it in advance.
Chen Chuan stood there holding a knife, staring at the man. He saw the man look at him for the last time, then pulled the reins, turned his horse around, and galloped away. In a moment, he disappeared into the dense forest in the distance. At this time, Advisor Rao came over and frowned deeply and said, "Iron Demon should have been ready to take over this place last night, but I don't understand why he didn't come up. Did he notice that we were here?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Did the operations room have any information about his early warning capabilities?"
Advisor Rao replied: "Yes, but we don't have an accurate understanding of the extent of his ability, and we can't not make any plans because of this matter."
He said seriously, "From what I've seen this time, his ability to foresee things is stronger than I expected, and he's acting more cautiously."
He sighed. The ambush was not successful this time. Given this man's cautiousness, he probably won't come here easily again. "
Chen Chuan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. I read the information that Consultant Rao gave me before. He often enjoys attacking difficult locations and even takes the initiative to go to potentially dangerous places. He must be relying on his ability to be warned of danger in advance to be able to move back and forth at will. I don't think he will give up so easily."
In the eye contact just now, he read something in the other person's eyes, which was a kind of provocation and persistence. The other party's attack this time might not be over yet.
Advisor Rao said cautiously: "Even so, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with him. As long as he doesn't come up to the fortress, we can't do anything to him in the wild."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Not necessarily. He may not be able to figure out our strength right now. If he finds out that there is only a small team like us stationed here, he may try every means to lure us out."
If that were the case, after Consultant Rao regained his composure, he quickly made a judgment based on this line of thought.
"The easiest way is to attack patrols from other nearby bases, or even attack the bases themselves. This will increase pressure on us through constant killing and destruction, forcing us to go out from the fortress and hunt them down.
Once we get out, if he succeeds in killing us in the field, he will come back and attack Fort 73.
Well, this is very likely. Now No. 104 should have been sealed off again. He is essentially locked up here, so if he wants to go back, he must find a breakthrough.
The longer we delay, the greater the risk, so he is keeping an eye on us, and the possibility of opening up here is the highest!"
He raised his head sharply and said to Chen Chuan: "Two days, at most two days for him to confirm the situation, because if there is rescue in the rear, they will respond in about two days."
Chen Chuan thought about it and said, "Since he wants us to go out, then we will follow his wishes."
"Captain Chen, what do you want to do?"
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I will lead the team to hunt him down and give him a chance."
Advisor Rao was startled, and then he hurriedly persuaded: "Captain Chen, I don't recommend you to do this. Here in the fortress, we can have support, and we have the support of personnel and weapons, but outside, you have no support except yourselves."
Hai Cheng walked over at this time and said in a deep voice: "Captain Chen, I admire your courage, but we have tried to suppress this person in the wild before, but the result was that several teams were wiped out outside, and even the body was not found." At the end, his voice became heavy.
Chen Chuan said sincerely: "Thank you for the reminder from the Hai garrison, but if we don't do this, he will not take the initiative to attack the fortress, but will only harass the surroundings, and we can only watch and do nothing."
He then said to Advisor Rao: "The choice to hold on was correct in terms of tactics, but now holding on is useless, so we must take the initiative to attack. As for support..."
He said slowly: "As a fighter, it is enough for us to have ourselves at this time."
"Captain, you're right. As fighters, we have enough on our own! Captain, I'll go with you." Yuan Qiyuan said loudly beside him.
Qin Qingque stood up, straightened his back, and said, "Captain, I'll come too."
Advisor Rao sighed when he saw that he couldn't stop them. He thought for a moment and solemnly reminded them, "In this case, I won't stop you. Don't go out too far. It's best if you can get back in time at night."
After preparing for half an hour, Chen Chuan took the necessary things, and the three of them drove an off-road vehicle out of the fortress under the complicated and worried gazes of everyone, and chased in the direction where the Iron Monster disappeared.
This time, he did not bring other team members, because once the battle started, it would be difficult for these ordinary team members to take care of everything. Qin Qingque knew how to drive and repair, as well as how to fiddle with the radio, so having her there was enough.
Yuan Qiyuan was very excited. Apart from anything else, Chen Chuan's decision was very much to his liking. Hiding in the fortress and waiting for the enemy to come was too passive. He felt uncomfortable everywhere. He should take the initiative to attack.
Qin Qingque was driving the car in front. She drove steadily and quickly, and asked, "Captain, there is no road ahead. Where should we go?"
Chen Chuan sat in the back seat. He glanced outside and said, "Just follow the traces left by their large group. Even if we can't catch up with them, as long as we are far enough away from the fortress, they will come to find us."
