Chapter 4222 Witnessing Strength
Xu Qiang's sudden action caught Soran off guard. According to common sense, it would never be Xu Qiang's turn to take action first.
Since he was determined to die, Soran helped Xu Qiang and notified them to enter combat mode. He wanted to eat up the mercenary group bit by bit, so that they would understand what it meant to offend him.
On the other side, Xu Qiang took the lead in launching the battle. Due to his sudden action, he disrupted Soran's original plan, turning from active to passive.
More importantly, he invested too much manpower and material resources in the seven locations to contain Xu Qiang, but now it has no effect and has become an unnecessary burden.
But at this point, Soran didn't know what Xu Qiang was going to do. What if such an action was just to cover up and disrupt his layout?
Therefore, the defense of these seven locations cannot be withdrawn, lest Xu Qiang escape from these places. The more worried he was, the more Xu Qiang wanted it.
According to the information controlled by Xu Qiang, the city where Sauron is located has no more than 3,000 elite mercenaries, and the ten mercenary groups that joined the hunting party are not a big threat at all.
And the combatants sent by these ten mercenary groups, in order to show off in front of Sauron and share more benefits in the future situation, these people formed the first line of defense and blocked Xu Qiang and his team.
Xu Qiang calculated the distance between the two sides and was about to enter the range of firepower coverage, so he gave an order.
"Fire!"
One by one, incendiary bombs were fired and fell into the crowd of opponents. Instantly, the incendiary bombs exploded and ignited a raging fire.
It was originally dark night, but it was completely illuminated, and screams continued. The first round of attacks caused heavy losses to these ten teams.
All the arms in their hands were controlled by Xu Qiang. Sauron's arms could only be used by his own people, and of course they would not unconditionally support these allies.
Taking advantage of this wave of advantages, they quickly advanced forward and entered the area of combat. The next step is to see their strength.
Qin Gang took the lead. When he encountered a battle, he never retreated and was never afraid of death. Only by chopping off these people's heads could he avenge Jin Yiyang.
"Kill them!"
The training for a period of time came into play at this time.
They formed a small team of three or five people, fighting each other and integrating into the battlefield, cutting the opponent's defense from the middle, so that they could not take care of both ends.
These ten mercenary groups were arrogant and conceited. They usually enjoyed the fruits of their labor. Finally, at this moment, they understood how big the gap was between them and the Lengjian Mercenary Group. They could not even hold on for half an hour and were defeated.
More than 4,000 people defended, and the remaining 2,000 people fled and withdrew from the battlefield. After hearing the news of the battle, the leaders of the ten mercenary groups looked extremely ugly.
Originally, they planned to show off, but ended up losing face. If they had known this, they should not have taken the lead in fighting and left this matter to Sauron.
With such a result, everything was within Soran's expectations. He didn't expect these people to be of much use. Their biggest role was to test Xu Qiang's offensive.
Now it seems that it is really ridiculous to try to defeat her with all your strength. The next step is the beginning of the good show.
"Don't panic, everyone. You will see a lot of interesting things tonight. Let's wait here quietly."
We can't rush to kill Xu Qiang. If we keep this person, we have to lure out the god of death. If there is no bait, how can Xiao Yi appear again.
"Open the second line of defense and don't let anyone pass through the bridge alive!"
"Yes!"
Those responsible for defending the second line of defense are Soran's subordinates. They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They will not be defeated like those mobs before the battle starts.
If you want to enter the city where Soran is, you must pass a bridge. This bridge is 530 meters long and spans a river.
At this moment, the ropes on the bridge have become angry, and the entire bridge has become two parts. Without their control, no one can pass through this bridge.
On the other side of the bridge head, there is an open area. If Xu Qiang and his men appear here, they will become live targets. In the open field, no one can survive the indiscriminate shooting.
However...
Twenty minutes have passed.
According to the time calculation, the Lengjian Mercenary Group should have reached this place.
But after such a long time, no one is seen. What happened in the meantime? And where did the people of the Lengjian Mercenary Group go?
"Where are they?"
The second line of defense was set up to strangle the Lengjian Mercenary Group. If they don't come, all these preparations will be in vain.
At this moment...
In another part of this river.
The overgrown environment forms a perfect camouflage. People moving in it are not so easy to detect even at close range.
A hole appeared in the weeds, extending downwards. Before Xu Qiang and his team arrived, it was covered with canvas. It was an inconspicuous place and no one would pay attention to it.
Walking down from this hole, the environment inside became open. Xu Qiang was leading the team to enter from this place and cross the river that blocked everyone's way.
"Xu Qiang really has yours. I didn't expect you to arrange such a trick in advance. Even I didn't know."
Qin Gang let out waves of exclamation. He thought he knew Xu Qiang well, but he still underestimated Xu Qiang's strength.
Some time ago, Xu Qiang contacted a developer in Solon's city, changed his name, and asked the developer to build an underwater passage.
The developer originally refused. It was simply impossible to build an underwater passage in a river 450 meters wide.
However, Xu Qiang then said that he could provide materials and technology, and he only needed to use the name of the developer. The construction of the underground passage must be kept strictly confidential and no one should know about it.
Once the project is completed, the developer will receive a generous reward. Of course, the developer will not refuse such a good thing. He agreed to Xu Qiang's request on the spot and started construction immediately.
Dozens of boats are working on the river, nominally mining sand, but at night, pipes made of tempered glass are transported to the river and then spliced by professional personnel.
It is worthy of building a strong country. With professional technology and professional equipment, the construction of an underwater channel was completed in less than a month.
