Chapter 143 Mountain-Knocking Rat
The rats, who were used to being domineering in Kangyue County, were obviously caught off guard.
They have probably never seen an opponent of this level.
At the beginning, after the fifty scout rats determined that there were twenty human vehicles here, they immediately went back to synthesize the intelligence, and then the rat king in the nearby area integrated an army of about ten thousand rats.
Assault army.
This rat king has shown enough respect for humans.
Ten thousand level troops are not too small either.
According to the Rat King's plan, the main task of the assault force is to bite off the circuits in these twenty vehicles.
This part of the mission will be carried out by a thousand well-trained professional rat warriors divided into a total of twenty teams.
Fifty rat warriors are assigned to each vehicle, which is enough sincerity.
As for the other nine thousand rats in the entire army, they are cannon fodder, used to distract humans, or to take advantage of the opportunity to launch killing raids.
Humans will definitely resist, and the rat army will definitely suffer casualties, but the Rat King doesn't care.
In its rat nest, there are nearly 30,000 rat babies just born at this time. It only takes twenty or thirty days at most for these babies to grow up and become smarter, wiser, stronger, and capable of learning.
A new generation of rats that is also stronger.
Now these old ministers who were born before the Great Era will die as soon as they die, which will also facilitate the survival of the fittest, speed up the iteration of the population, and keep up with the pace of other rat kings as soon as possible.
Of course, the Rat King is not really so ruthless. It still sincerely hopes that more and smarter rats will come forward under its command, even if it becomes its own superior Rat King, it doesn't matter.
Everything is for the population, everything is for evolution.
It's just that the number of rats is too large, and the Rat King doesn't have the ability to teach them one by one. He can only let ordinary rats transform themselves.
To put it bluntly, mice that are smart enough and have enough potential can always slowly find better ways to survive, and are more likely to persevere and survive in the war with humans.
The longer a mouse lives, the smarter it naturally becomes.
Rats do not regard the war with humans as a disaster at all, but only regard it as a means of rapid evolution.
Therefore, the silver rat king who was captured by Zhou You did not show any emotions, and only tried his best to disguise himself to protect the ability of the group. It was not until he saw the black and white cow cat that he failed due to his instinctive fear of natural enemies.
This rat king had a good battle plan, but unfortunately things didn't go in the direction he thought from the beginning.
The nine thousand lower rats responsible for the cover were the first to launch a surprise attack.
In the past, Kangyue County, faced with such a large number of rats, even an equal number of humans would fall into panic.
Therefore, the rat kings in Kangyue County have actually gradually become accustomed to this swarm-style combat strategy. They have made it clear that they win with quantity and plan to rely on stronger reproductive power and human consumption.
Even if every four or three rats on average can replace one human life, it is still profitable for the rats.
But this time, Kangyue Rat King saw another kind of reality in the world.
When the lower rat tide approached within the optimal shooting range of the twelve trucks placed at the outermost side of the convoy, the first gunshot suddenly rang out in the parking lot that had been silent just a moment ago.
The gunshot sounded like a flare gun in a sprint race.
The next moment, the headlights of all vehicles turned on at the same time.
Subsequently, dozens of single-person airships that were suspended in the sky in advance for emergency takeoff simultaneously turned on high-power searchlights.
The entire parking lot was illuminated as brightly as day.
At least in this small area, it is even brighter than the iodine tungsten lamp over at Granary Square.
In order to meet the slightly excessive weight of the miner's lamp, the pilots on these one-man airships did not carry any weapons at all.
Their job is to provide lighting.
The sudden strong light environment not only helps the human warrior standing at the shooting port to aim, but it also effectively weakens the advantage of the rodent's night vision ability.
The lower rat's charging momentum was disrupted by the bright light, and he was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the expeditionary force soldiers in the shooting ports on each box-type cargo card opened fire at the same time.
The light of the red laser pointer shines on the group of rats.
These laser pointers are shaking on the ground according to different rules.
Some laser pointers are drawing figure eights, some are drawing circles, some laser pointers are reciprocating up and down or shaking left and right at high speed, and some laser pointers are flashing continuously.
After each laser pointer's light point guidance, there is often another shooting unit's firepower slanting down.
This is a large-scale night battle technique that was only figured out by the Expeditionary Force Operation Staff in the afternoon.
Sort and number the firepower in each three shooting windows to form a complete shooting unit.
During the battle, warriors in different windows will accurately cover the area guided by the laser pointer irradiated according to different rules according to the previously agreed attack targets.
Although it is inevitable for soldiers in different vehicles to have repeated signals, the defense zones of different trucks are inherently different. As long as the signal types of the laser pointers are arranged at intervals, repeated coverage can be effectively avoided.
After another day of adjustment, even the more than a thousand newly joined combatants were able to master this simple method of allocating firepower after the initial unfamiliarity, effectively preventing the waste of firepower caused by repeated coverage.
In addition to the red laser pointer, there is also a blue laser pointer with high power that can create a large blue light spot and shine on the ground.
These blue laser spots mainly take care of groups of rats that are stationed more closely together.
What followed the blue light spots were not various ordinary firearms and ammunition, but various grenade launcher shells.
In less than thirty seconds of fighting, the Rat King, who had tens of thousands of fighting male rats under his command, suffered unprecedented heavy losses.
Of its nine thousand cannon fodder, at least two thousand died in thirty seconds, which was tragic.
Of the thousand elite rat warriors who were following the cannon fodder or trying to get close to the vehicle, more than a hundred of them died.
But with such a desperate charge at all costs, there were indeed rat warriors and lower-level cannon gray rats who rushed under the box truck and the ordinary family car inside.
The rats immediately skillfully tried to climb up the tires and into the engine compartments of various vehicles.
Some of the lower rats were stumbling around like headless flies, unable to find their bearings.
But professional rat warriors are different. They are very familiar with the route. Some rat warriors are even familiar with the car models and know where the holes in the engine compartments of different models are, making it easier to get in.
The Rat King, who had been hiding in the far corner, observing the situation and continuing to issue orders, felt a little more relaxed when he saw this.
It believes that although some costs have been paid, the results are still bearable.
if only……
Just as he was thinking this, the rat king immediately felt a slight shock in his heart.
It turned out that many of its professional rat warriors had bumped headlong into the pressurized power grid at the bottom of each vehicle, causing them to crackle with electricity and become scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
The Rat King has come into contact with the power grid before. For example, there is a complete set of powerful anti-theft power grids at the Kangyue Granary.
In just ten seconds, hundreds of rat warriors and hundreds of lower-level cannon gray rats fell under the power grid.
But so far this is the first time that the Rat King has encountered a power grid on these movable iron lumps.
Unfortunately, by this time, the rat king, who was smart enough, had realized that today's situation was not simple.
If it immediately ordered a full retreat and took the initiative to admit defeat, it would probably be able to escape unscathed at the cost of killing two thousand more of its subordinates.
It's a pity that this rat king doesn't seem to be as smart as the silver rat king in Dujiacun, nor does he have the decisiveness of a strong man to cut off his wrist.
Even though he had already suffered heavy losses, the Rat King chose to send the faster messenger rats to other places to ask for help from other Rat Kings. On the other hand, he ordered the rats under his command to continue to strengthen the offensive.
Today's rats are also quite experienced in how to deal with power grids.
The simplest way is to use cannon fodder to create a short circuit to the ground, then this thing will naturally have to be discontinued.
The mouse actually doesn't know what a short circuit is, nor does it know that the root cause of the power grid outage is that the pulse generator inside either overheats due to excessive continuous output power, or simply has a protective trip. The mouse does not understand these principles, but
But I know this idea is feasible.
However, today's expeditionary force technicians have long been accustomed to the idea of rats' physical bodies conducting electricity. After relying on the power grid to take advantage of two rounds, they took the initiative to shut down the power grid and put the attacking rats on the next level of defense.
The Rat King in the distance didn't know this detail. He just thought that the brave and fearless charge of his warriors had an effect and put an end to that hateful thing called electricity.
The Rat King felt that he was not far from victory, and it seemed that he could defeat this group of humans on his own. If he had known better, he would not have asked for help from other Rat Kings.
In the current social order composed of rat kings, military exploits gained in wars with humans are very important.
Even if no resources are obtained after the battle, as long as it can kill humans and consume human resources, it is a military achievement for the rats.
Although rats do not have the means of video recording, relying on the information sharing ability of brain wave resonance, the rat kings can completely communicate the causes and consequences of the entire battle.
This military exploit can effectively enhance the rat king's status within the clan. Not only can he gain the respect of other rat kings, but he can even annex lower-ranking clans whose military exploits are lower than his own.
In addition, there is more evidence that if a rat king can gain a lot of military exploits, even if it does not merge with other rat groups or obtain more resources, as long as the rat king himself and his group kill more humans, it will give
Human civilization has caused greater damage, and the level of intelligence will also be improved subtly.
The Rat King felt that this was his good opportunity.
Kangyue County has not seen such a large-scale human convoy operating outside for a long time. As long as this battle is won, the Rat King believes that he may be able to become a high-level Rat King in the county, and the size of the group he leads will also be expanded.
to more than 100,000.
