The expeditionary army had driven the refugees so far away, but it did not have any effect at all. Not only that, but it even angered the soldiers of the 6th Combat Brigade.
They knew it was the Pyro Company's fearless suicidal attacks that had created an opportunity for some of the refugees while they were being driven here.
Now that the Pyro Company soldiers had left their hopes to them, the soldiers in the Northwest would naturally cherish them even more.
When the battle started, Ji Zi 'ang and the others were still hoping that the explosion would scare the expeditionary army into retreating like the last time. But it was different this time. The expeditionary army's soldiers did not retreat at all and insisted on using their lives to fill the hole in the wall.
P5092 said, "This is the worst-case scenario. The expeditionary army's commander has already understood that there can't be any tricks to take down Zuoyun Mount. We'll have to exchange our lives for it. The other party has already accepted this fact. This also means we'll have to fight the toughest battle yet. "
Ji Zi 'ang looked at the barbarians who were charging at them with their shields raised. He said to P5092, "I can still destroy seven mountain peaks on my side. Why don't I bury them alive now?"
"No." P5092 shook his head and said, "There are too many people in the expeditionary army this time. There are also troops stationed outside the mountain that are ready to replace the other troops at any time. Even if you kill a group of them, they'll immediately send in another group to replace them. So it's better to keep these trump cards in reserve. Every time the defensive position is in danger, you can destroy one of the mountain peaks. That way, even if the barbarians manage to break through the defensive position, you'll still be able to cut off their follow-up attacks. The defensive position won't suffer too much damage. "
According to P5092, Ji Zi 'ang's method of destroying the mountain peaks was the defensive position's fault tolerance mechanism.
Ji Zi 'ang muttered, "But isn't leaving seven mountains too many? Why don't we destroy two of them first to kill their morale?"
"No." P5092 rejected, "I think seven mountains are too few."
Everyone present was taken aback. So P5092's assessment of the situation was so pessimistic.
P5092 explained, "Perhaps none of you have the concept of a defensive battle, especially one where you have to fight against 10 enemies at once. For the next dozen days, weeks, or even months, we'll have to face endless attacks from the expeditionary army every day. At some point, you'll start doubting yourself and the world. You'll wonder if these barbarians will never be completely killed. During this period, everyone will be in an abyss of suffering. The soldiers will start not getting enough rest, get irritated, or get constipated. Our ammunition will start running out, and we'll have to distribute our rations according to plan to last longer. Then, the expeditionary army will break through the defensive position more and more times until we can no longer to defend it. "
Everyone fell silent. As this was the beginning of the defensive battle, everyone felt that the expeditionary army was nothing much as they watched the barbarians fall one by one under the heavy machine guns.
But P5092 told them that the balance of the war would not always tilt in their favor.
"All.," they "good," would, but it, in, in, in ".". "..
It's going to get worse every day.
"Alright, everyone, listen to my commands." P5092 said, "Young Marshal promised me that I'll be the supreme leader of this troop on the battlefield."
Everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu, and Ren Xiaosu nodded. "Everyone must obey orders."
P5092 looked at Ji Zi 'ang. "The others can die, but you can't die before I get you to disintegrate the seven mountains. Those seven mountains are our final trump card. You have to live. You have to live for the sake of the entire defensive position. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly had a feeling that the meaning of their existence was for the final victory of this war. They had to abandon their own will and obey the collective will.
At this moment, the expeditionary army was advancing rapidly on the mountain path. They were still using the same old battle strategy — the shielded barbarians in front of them were protecting the main force at the back as they advanced.
But the shields were different now. Part of the original leather shields had been replaced with armor they had removed from the armored vehicles. Even the bullets from the heavy machine guns could only create sparks when they hit it.
The armor was so thick that it required several people to lift it together.
However, when the expeditionary army was only about 200 meters away from the defensive position, and the soldiers in the position were firing according to their usual rhythm, a barbarian at the forefront of the expeditionary army raised a shield alone and suddenly launched a rapid charge!
This barbarian's sudden burst of speed was extremely shocking. He was able to advance quickly on the bumpy mountain path with his shield raised. By the time the soldiers at the defensive position reacted and were about to switch to rocket launchers and hand grenades to intercept him, they saw the barbarian suddenly throw his shield horizontally at them.
The huge shield spun in the air and whistled through the air. Meanwhile, the barbarian who had instantly broken out of the encirclement followed closely behind!
When he removed his shield, everyone realized the barbarian was wearing a full suit of heavy armor. Even bullets could not penetrate the armor.
Before this, the expeditionary army had never worn such heavy armor, so no one knew that the barbarians had such individual defensive armor.
From the looks of it, this armor was specially prepared for the barbarian experts to break through the defensive position. When a powerful individual possessed unparalleled defensive abilities, they would be very terrifying.
Just like Ren Xiaosu's armor, ordinary firearms could naturally be ignored.
The heavy shield flew to the defensive position and headed straight for the machine gunner!
Just as the shield was about to smash the machine gunner into pieces, a figure wearing a white mask suddenly appeared from the side and caught the powerful shield with both hands!
In an instant, White Mask exerted strength in his arms and forcefully threw the shield back.
The barbarian did not seem to have expected someone to catch the shield that flew out. Therefore, when the shield flew back, it was already too late for him to dodge. This was because the inertia of his forward charge was too great.
The next moment, he sneered under his heavy visor. The Central Plains man was just using the same move as him.
Thinking of this, he raised his hands to catch the shield that flew back and prepared to continue his assault with it.
But the moment his palms came into contact with the shield, the barbarian was stunned. That was because the momentum of the shield was much stronger than when he threw it!
As a result, the shocked soldiers at the defensive position saw the arrogant barbarian get smashed back by the shield that flew back!
P5092 had already arrived at the defensive position. A soldier here said hesitantly, "Sir, we didn't expect that barbarian to be so fast. He's even wearing heavy armor, so we nearly let him get to us …."
The soldiers felt very ashamed. If the barbarians had gotten to their defensive position on the first day, how were they supposed to fight the rest of the battle?
However, P5092 smiled and comforted them, "It's fine. We're just testing the waters now. We and the barbarians are trying to see what other tricks the other party has up their sleeves. It's a good thing that we found out they're wearing heavy armor on the first day. The battlefield is constantly changing, so no one can guarantee they won't make mistakes. Just be careful next time. "
After that, P5092 looked at Ren Xiaosu, who had rushed over, in a rather good mood. "Why did you arrange for White Mask to be stationed here in advance? Did you know they would break through here first? "
Ren Xiaosu answered, "I guessed."
P5092 nodded nonchalantly. Ren Xiaosu's prediction of the barbarians was so accurate that it could be summed up as metaphysics.
He said to Ren Xiaosu, "You heard what I said to Ji Zi 'ang just now, so I'll repeat it to you as well. The others can die, but not you. You must survive until the end. It's not because you're Young Marshal, but because this defensive position can continue to hold on with you around. If you're gone, this defensive position will also be gone. I mentioned earlier that those seven mountains are our fault tolerance mechanism. But you have to understand that you're more important than those seven mountains. "
