Chapter 577: Chapter 252: Just Call Me Yang Dong

Upon hearing Li Yang’s command, the conscripts of the Auxiliary Army scattered and ran.

Li Yang knew their chances of survival were slim. These were conscripts who had come with the team.

They were from all over the country, not too familiar with the terrain around Yuezhou.

If they dispersed and ran, indeed, some of them could survive. However, there was a higher chance of them getting lost in the snowy storm, freezing to death in the wilderness.

The enemy probably decided to attack them in this heavy snowstorm.

Li Yang could only hope that some of them would escape the enemy’s pursuit, and encounter other friendly squads equipped with mech warriors.

He hoped that they could report the enemy’s presence within Great Tang’s territory to Yuezhou.

He harbored no regrets, only unyielding resentment and lament.

At this point it would be too cowardly to regret and reconsider not reporting earlier.

Unfortunately, the soldiers who were supposed to fight alongside him on the battlefield had to die here in such a stifling manner.

"Ah, if only...if only we could have delayed two more enemies," Li Yang sighed, recalling the original 2 vs 7 situation.

His deputy officer and conscripts mounted a desperate attack and changed the situation to 1 vs 5.

Adding in the enemy they stalled, Li Yang could at least resist four enemies for a while.

If they could delay one more enemy... it wouldn’t be hard for Li Yang, a veteran warrior of ten years, to take on three opponents.

Regrettably, those beside him were not the regular Auxiliary Army soldiers, but conscripts, not well-coordinated.

Moreover, that weapon capable of penetrating mech armor protection, the armor-piercing crossbow gun,

was not meant for ordinary people but a close-range killing weapon for mech warriors.

Although it looked like a heavy crossbow, in essence, it was a miniature siege hammer. Its usage style was very crude: sticking close to the enemy’s face and shooting them point-blank.

It was meant to provide mech warriors with a devastating strike in close-quarters combat when facing opponents with high defense.

To be able to exchange kills with a mech warrior was already the pinnacle of the conscripts’ desperate assault.

At this point, Li Yang, who was besieged, dodged the enemy’s attacks and saw a blue figure darting out of the bushes not far away.

He went past the fleeing conscripts and headed straight for his bloodied and battered companions.

From the attire... this person belonged to another separated Auxiliary Army squad?

What were they planning to do? Instead of escaping, did they come here to save their companions? Just as they managed to survive, they are only heading towards certain death!

Did your friends and acquaintances get caught up in this too?

Run!

No matter how you look at it, they’re beyond saving! Li Yang roared helplessly in his heart.

In the meantime, the red coated mech that had been slaughtering the conscripts finally found an opening as they fled.

Watching the figure rushing towards him, even though it was just an unarmed human, the mech warrior felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest. The chainsaw axe in his hand started spinning again.

Steam surged from behind him, turning his steel body into a charging force.

Like a speeding train, he rushed towards that figure.

That figure was Li Changhe, who had deliberately slowed down his speed to avoid revealing his true abilities.

As he watched the red warrior charging towards him, Li Changhe grinned.

Upon facing a real steam-powered mech, Li Changhe couldn’t help but marvel at how imposing it was. If ten of these mechs were to charge together, even the Sun King’s Undying Legion would be crushed to dust.

Ordinary players might be at a disadvantage when dealing with these mech warriors.

Their immense defense alone could be a significant headache, not to mention the mech warriors’ explosive power and speed.

However, Li Changhe was exceptional. He had fought alongside the steam soldiers’ predecessors and could even summon steam soldiers himself.

It could be said that of the 505 players, Li Changhe was the one most familiar with steam-powered mechs.

He was equally well-versed in their weaknesses.

This was the main reason the blue mech warrior remaining could still hold out against four opponents.

Only the blue warrior still standing could perfectly exploit their weaknesses.

"You can’t do it!" Li Changhe thought as his body suddenly bent.

In the bloody snow piles, he picked up an armor-piercing crossbow gun.

It was the weapon dropped by the dead blue armored warrior.

A metal equipment that looked like a crossbow.

It was heavy, weighing around forty kilograms.

No wonder the recruits were unable to succeed despite having weapons that could kill armored warriors.

This was not a weapon designed for normal humans.

A normal person trying to approach an armored warrior with this thing would probably be chopped to death.

In modern human history, there had indeed been weapons that needed to be used at close range and had powerful destructive capabilities.

It was the World War II sticky bomb, used by the Japanese to destroy tanks. The use was quite similar to the armor-piercing crossbow gun.

"I should get one when I have a chance." Li Changhe thought, raising the armor-piercing crossbow gun to face the charging steam armored warrior.

He quickly swung his chainsaw axe diagonally, attempting to chop Li Changhe in half at the waist.

Li Changhe could even see the several rows of rotating chains on the surface of the axe; a single brush against it would gut him open.

But Li Changhe slowed down a step, slightly tilting his body to barely dodge the attack. His cotton clothes were torn open.

To an outsider, it appeared that he had narrowly avoided the chainsaw axe.

In reality, Li Changhe’s Magic Eye had already calculated the trajectory of the attack.

Due to the construction of the armored warriors, their explosive strength was powerful. They were very suited for large-scale hard battles, but they were weak in precision.

Looking at the remaining blue armored warrior, it seemed that their weakness could only be overcome with years of soldiers’ training.

This was somewhat similar to the Berserker Rank from the Seven Kings War - explosive power and speed were achieved through impact, but their combat trajectory was easily calculated.

Li Changhe used this to calculate the attack trajectories of all these armored warriors.

Was it because they faced enemies who were weaker than themselves that they didn’t need to pursue precision? Such arrogance.

"Who are you...?" The red-painted armored warrior saw Li Changhe dodge the attack and move to his right side, his uneasiness increasing in his heart.

As he tried to retreat, he looked down and met a pair of indifferent eyes. Li Changhe had already leveled the armor-piercing crossbow gun at his chest.

Then, he pulled the trigger.

With a muffled sound, the armor-piercing crossbow gun fired. A metal peg the size of a cup mouth was instantly pierced out by a tremendous force.

"Crack."

Like the sound of an eggshell cracking, the red-painted armored warrior’s chest was instantly penetrated and twisted by the metal peg, and his liver inside was crushed.

Li Changhe was also flipped over by an unstoppable force. Although it was an act... the recoil of the armor-piercing crossbow gun was indeed powerful. An ordinary person might be killed by the shock.

"So this is how it works. If I study it carefully, my Sanction Nails combined with the Hundred-Headed Shooter might have a similar effect." Li Changhe thought as he pretended to struggle to his feet.

All that remained... had nothing to do with him publicly. He could secretly use the Pressure Throne.

The armored warrior collapsed with a loud crash, causing snowflakes and blood to splash. The blending of blood and snow was dazzling.

The sudden change left everyone dumbfounded.

Then, Li Yang was overjoyed. He didn’t expect a master to come and kill an enemy with one action. This was a blessing from the heavens for the Great Tang!

He shouted, "Good lad, survive and be my personal soldier! Everyone come back, help me hold off one, I will take care of the rest!"

The recruits, who had never really gone far, saw someone kill an enemy with one move, and with Li Yang’s call,

One by one, they mustered their strength and turned back towards the enemy.

They knew that if they didn’t fight at this time, they would either be frozen to death or chased down and killed.

One of them helped Li Changhe up, shouting, "Big brother, what’s your name?"

"Cough, cough..." Li Changhe coughed weakly, spitting out a mouthful of artificial blood that he had been hiding in his mouth.

"Just call me Yang Dong."
