Chapter 321: Victory in Every Battle
As soon as Xu Wei finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the middle of the east and west walls, and suddenly two small windows for the muzzle to move appeared. Four firing points were built in the air and opened fire at the same time, taking advantage of the high ground and catching Zhang Nianzu and his men off guard. Three soldiers below were knocked to the ground by the electric peas.
"Be careful above your head!" Zhang Nianzu shouted, holding up his shield to protect Lei Tingting and Xu Wei around him, and then joined the soldiers.
In coordination with the firing point in the middle of the wall, the huge glass on the roof of the gymnasium was controlled to be retracted, and on each of the four walls, an ant soldier was hanging on a lifting rope, holding a gun and shooting at the hall.
For a moment, there was a hail of bullets overhead. Zhang Nianzu and his tribesmen gathered together, holding up various objects that could block the electric peas. There was a constant crackling sound, and occasionally someone was shot and fell. Xu Wei slapped himself in the face and said in annoyance, "What a bad mouth I have!"
Yang Jie panted and said, "How come you didn't hear him hiding in the wall for so long?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "Don't blame him. Xu Wei said that there were 50 people on the other side. Only 40 people were knocked down by us in the hall. Those who rushed in were obviously cannon fodder to cover their accomplices. It's my fault. I shouldn't have set up the base here." Zhang Nianzu finally knew why he felt uneasy just now-the number of people on the other side didn't match! After all, this is one of the strongholds of the ant tribe. The ambush point on the wall has obviously been there since it was built. The 40-man team of the ant tribe rushed in and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers, just to buy time for their accomplices to enter the firepower point and get to the skylight. Xu Wei's existence was also taken into account. Once the war started, the gunshots, fighting sounds, explosions, and panting sounds were enough to make Xu Wei unable to distinguish whether someone had entered the wall through the secret passage.
Wei Biao hid under cover and pointed in the direction of the door, saying, "The door is right there, let's run!"
Zhang Nianzu said: "No, our wounded are still here."
Wei Biao said: "They also have wounded soldiers all over the ground. At worst, we can take a few away and exchange them with them after we get out."
Zhang Nianzu said, "Their people are just soldiers, but ours are clansmen. They won't agree to the exchange." He glanced at Wei Biao and said, "Even if the person lying down is you, I won't abandon you."
Wei Biao paused and said helplessly: "What should we do now?"
Without waiting for Zhang Nianzu to answer, a metal ball was dropped from the firing point. It was the kind that could shoot electric peas randomly. At this moment, everyone's hands were supporting themselves for protection. Once this thing exploded, it would definitely cause casualties. Zhang Xiaoliang was small and agile, and he quickly squeezed out of the crowd. He kicked the metal ball into the air and quickly got back in. The metal ball exploded in the air, but its power was limited.
Asassin said: "It is no use to continue to waste time like this. We can only passively take the beating."
The firing points on the wall were very cleverly designed, one high and one low, and built symmetrically. Four people hid inside, and there was no dead corner in the entire hall. With the addition of the four firing points hanging on the skylight, the people below were vulnerable to them.
Lao Guo said: "Let's just waste time. I don't think they can do anything to us!"
Ah Si suddenly said, "Auntie, you've been in the Ant Tribe before. Do they have smoke bombs or poison gas bombs that can make people unconscious?"
Lei Tingting said speechlessly: "Guess!"
Zhang Nianzu realized that if the stalemate continued, his entire army would be wiped out. He stripped an ant soldier's helmet and put it on, then shouted, "I'll go and take care of them!" He then suddenly jumped out, came to the wall, tapped the wall with his right index finger, and took advantage of the momentum to leap up a long distance. Everyone shouted and tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The ant soldiers at the four firing points did not expect that someone would dare to show up. They all pointed their guns at Zhang Nianzu and fired at him. The electric peas hit Zhang Nianzu's helmet and the kang mat. Although they did not injure him, Zhang Nianzu had to guard against the bullets and climb upwards at the same time, and his body fell straight down.
Seeing this, Zhao Qing grabbed an ant shield and threw it with all his might. A corner of the shield pierced into the wall and just happened to hold up Zhang Nianzu. Zhang Nianzu used the force to leap up more than a meter, tapped the wall with his finger, and temporarily hung in the air. He shouted loudly, "Ah Si!"
Ah Si understood what he meant. He raised his other shield with both hands and threw it with all his strength. The whole iron plate pierced Zhang Nianzu's feet. Zhang Nianzu kicked and reached under a firing point. He reached in and grabbed the ant soldier inside and pulled him out, like a woodpecker clamping out a fat worm and pulling him out of the hiding corridor. The ant soldier fell in the hall. Zhang Nianzu stepped on the window of the firing point without stopping and flew towards the enemies higher up. The ant soldiers there didn't know what happened to their companions. When they stuck their heads out to see, they came face to face with Zhang Nianzu and were horrified. Zhang Nianzu knocked him out with a punch, and half of the soldier's body drooped in the air. Zhang Nianzu was afraid that he would fall to his death from this height, so he pushed him back and continued to leap upwards without stopping, heading straight for the enemy on the skylight.
A bunch of people gathered around Ah Si, some helped him block the bullets, and some kept handing him things like chopping boards, submachine guns, and helmets. Ah Si aimed at Zhang Nianzu's figure, and threw random things in his hands again and again to cushion the place where Zhang Nianzu was about to fall. The two of them cooperated like this, and Zhang Nianzu rose higher and higher. The ant soldiers on the skylight were scared out of their wits and tried to escape by grabbing the lifting rope. Zhang Nianzu jumped and grabbed his ankle, then jumped to the roof before him. His fingers were on the lifting rope, but he shook his head casually, and instead punched the soldier's helmet, knocking him unconscious and hanging in the air.
The roof of the gymnasium was made of a whole wall of glass. When the glass was retracted, there was only a very narrow space on the four sides for feet. Zhang Nianzu ran on it like flying, knocking out the other three ants. The success of this operation certainly depended on the Golden Finger and Zhao Qing's agility, and later it mainly depended on Ah Si's super arm strength and accuracy. Except for the Golden Guards, I am afraid that other people have such ideas but do not have such ability.
The stronghold on one wall was cleared, and the interlaced firepower that was full of murderous intent just now was immediately useless. Zhang Nianzu ran up to deal with the remaining enemies, while the people below swarmed to the blind spot of the shooting. Lao Guo held a rolling pin in his hand and looked up, his eyes burning, "As long as the person up there shows his head, I will smash his head!"
Li Erhu said, "I'm not a psychopath. Why would I show up in this situation?"
Lao Guo said: "Why do you look down on the insane? Even if I were up there, I wouldn't show up - I'm a lunatic, not a fool."
Li Erhu was speechless: "Then why do you think the people above are so stupid?"
Lao Guo said: "Only smart people would do stupid things."
Li Erhu said: "Don't fools do stupid things?"
Old Guo glanced at him and said, "When a fool does stupid things, it's not called stupidity, it's called living."
The two of them were lifting the bar below when suddenly someone popped up from above. Lao Guo immediately threw the rolling pin out. The person above caught it and cursed, "Who hit me?" Everyone was surprised to find that the person was actually one of the Liu brothers - they were all the same, so no one knew who it was.
Lao Guo shouted, "Why are you up there?"
The man said, "We dealt with the people outside and heard something was wrong here. Li Changgui found a secret passage and brought us here to cut off our retreat."
Sure enough, Li Changgui also popped up from another firepower point. Although they were alert this time, they were not timely enough. If Zhang Nianzu had not rushed up in the first moment, the Qiangren tribe would have suffered greater losses.
Zhang Nianzu pulled a rope of an ant soldier and slid down. Everyone was amazed at his behavior and said, "Grandpa is awesome!"
Lei Tingting ran up and hugged Zhang Nianzu and said, "You scared me to death!"
Zhang Nianzu smiled at her and said loudly, "Count the wounded."
In this battle, six soldiers were hit by electric peas and fell into coma, resulting in a one-sixth reduction in the number of soldiers.
Wei Biao said with emotion: "At least we won."
Zhang Nianzu said: "No, the battle has just begun--" He said loudly, "We are going to attack the ant tribe's nest next, can you still fight?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then shouted in unison: "We can fight!"
Zhang Nianzu said, "Time is running out so I won't say much. Most of you are not familiar with me yet, so you can leave it for later. I know some of you came for the clan's public funds, which is normal. It's my fault if the money is lost, and I owe you. But I can't . I can only tell you why we are fighting this battle - it's for the strongman race to exist safely in the world. Of course, it's your freedom to participate in this battle or not."
Wei Biao said: "If you don't participate, the money..."
Zhang Nianzu said: "I said, that's what I owe to everyone, so it's naturally not affected."
Liu Xinliang looked at Wei Biao with disdain, and Wei Biao said hesitantly: "I was just asking, I didn't say I wouldn't participate."
Ah Si said: "We don't accept anyone who wants to join us - what can you do?"
This question stunned Wei Biao. He hesitated for a long time and asked unsurely, "Cheer you up?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "We will go to the battle later and need someone to take care of the wounded. Can you do it?"
Wei Biao said hurriedly: "I can do this!"
Zhang Xiaoliang walked up to Zhang Nianzu and said hesitantly, "Brother Nianzu...can I go?"
Li Changgui put his arm around Zhang Xiaoliang's shoulders and said to Zhang Nianzu, "He is still a child..." Zhang Xiaoliang was so anxious that he almost cried when he heard what he said. Li Changgui continued, "There are not many opportunities like this to see the world, so let him go."
Zhang Nianzu looked at Zhang Xiaoliang and said, "You are already a qualified soldier. Be careful later."
Zhang Xiaoliang was overjoyed.
Li Changgui carried Ah San and said, "This loser is my nephew. I will take him with me so that he can also witness this moment of glory."
Seeing that no one had withdrawn, Zhang Nianzu waved his hand and said, "Let's go! I wish us every victory!"
All the soldiers shouted: "Victory in every battle!"
