Chapter 212 Grenadiers

The fuse made of saltpeter and string burned, making a sizzling sound.

The grenadiers at the front line used the light inserted in the position to ignite the long-fuse explosive pack in their hands, aiming at the cellulose rock wrapped with plants in the mud pit in front of them and throwing it with all their strength.

Throwing things away.

The ability engraved in the human genes, the ancestors of human beings used their unique throwing ability and tool-making ability to achieve the final victory in the struggle with other life forms.

250 grams, five taels, a quarter of a kilogram of explosive pack.

The fuse has been lit.

5 meters.

This distance is not far, and the cellulose creatures who take steps can cross it in just a few steps, and for creatures like forest spiders, it can cross it in a few seconds.

The vines that coexist with the Linyan element shoot out sharp spikes as powerful as light crossbows, which will eliminate the scout hunting spiders that enter its range. There are also symbiotic plants that suddenly rise up and entangle the scout hunting spiders that use their own superb mobility to disturb the Linyan element.

The hunting spiders that suddenly stopped were smashed to pieces by the extremely flexible turning and heavy punches of this element creature.

They are definitely not as bulky as they look. The bodies hidden under the surface of the gray-white and earth-brown rock layer are as flexible as humans.

The soldiers held their breath and watched the Linyan element turn around and smash a scout hunting spider that ran over to death, crushing its shell and flesh and blood and merging them with the soil.

Then they fell into the pit they dug to restrict the movement of element life.

A simple pit one meter deep, covered with a thin wooden board and covered with grass, is enough to make it difficult for a strong venomous creature to escape from it for a while.

Now.

Without anyone's order, the soldiers who have received standard grenade training immediately threw the explosive packs in their hands.

Several explosive packs passed through the air, and the fuses burned, leaving thin white marks on the light fog wall caused by the gun team.

The scout hunting spiders have received simple training and know to run away when they see such things, but the forest spiders are completely unaware of this.

They then took a deep breath, paused, stabilized their bodies, and then took down a new explosive pack, lit it, and threw it.

In just 5 seconds, the grenadiers had completed two rounds of bombing.

Of course, their throwing does not require too high accuracy. They only need to throw all the explosive packs to complete their throwing task - those people trapped in the soil.

For one line of defense, each team is equipped with five kilograms of explosives and two explosive packs.

The two infantry squads that threw the battle threw nearly one hundred half-pound explosive packs in the first round of engagement throwing.

The ability to use explosives so comfortably is attributed to the fact that the territory currently has free crystal mines that are almost free. Their cost of making excellent explosives has been halved, and the territory's army has never experienced a shortage of explosives.

For newly trained gun shooters, explosive packs are even the standard single-soldier configuration in their cognition.

Use the amount of force projection to cover up the lack of accuracy.

The spellcasters standing on the second line of defense all tightly grasped the spell models that had already been formed in their hands, and looked at the gray smoke rising in front of the first line of defense with pale faces.

Explosions, explosions, and continuous explosions almost made them tremble uncontrollably, after all, the explosions occurred in a continuous area within their sight. The soldiers who were closer to the explosives were temporarily trapped in tinnitus, and it took a long time to recover.

Without the action of casting spells, the power of destruction had already torn open the shells used by the celluloid creatures to protect themselves, temporarily affecting their self-repair ability.

This kind of explosive pack does not cause the gorgeous light effects in movies and TV shows. They will only explode a large amount of smoke in an instant with a loud bang, blasting the soil and rocks. The spreading high-temperature shock wave of the explosion will destroy the solid objects around the target, forming pits.

If it is thrown into the line infantry line...it can easily tear open or even destroy a dense infantry line.

Its extremely short range of only 30 to 50 meters also means that only the bravest and most elite soldiers in the army can serve as grenadiers.

The throwing effect of the grenadiers is very significant. The outer protective shell of most of the forest rock elements has been stripped off under multiple violent impacts, revealing the relatively soft brown-black body inside, which is also flashing with purple light. The symbiotic plants on their bodies that pose a serious threat to infantry are also half damaged under the impact.

He shot down a forest spider that came up at some unknown time, and dodged the thorns fired by the plants on the forest rock elements. He took the rifle from the soldier behind him, and stretched his deep purple inflorescence very accurately, accumulating the symbiotic plants for the next fatal shot.

Chang Heng was distressed that he still brought too little explosives this time. If they could continue to throw for a minute, they would not even have to suffer casualties.

They had little explosives left, so they had to evacuate from the first line of defense.

"All units should immediately throw all the explosives in stock and withdraw to the second line of defense."

The first line of defense was already within the attack range of the symbiotic plants on the phytoplankton. When several soldiers threw bombs, they thought the enemy could not reach them, and were targeted by the vine needles that changed their targets. The needles sprayed pierced through the shoulders and arms of the gunmen.

The moment the gunmen threw the explosives, they had already entered the range of the symbiotic plants on the phytoplankton.

————

"In the range?"

The officer saw the outstanding results of the grenadiers and immediately turned to ask the spellcaster standing next to him, who nodded with difficulty.

They were retreating from the first line of defense to the second line of defense.

There was also a reserve of explosives in the second line of defense.

As for the gun shooters, they used the guns in their hands to kill the organic creatures.

This joke is not funny.

Whether it is a burning armor-piercing bullet or a standard lead bullet, when it encounters the thick soil and rock layers on Lin Yan's body, the expected lethality is buffered and absorbed. The only thing that can be done is to kill the symbiotic plants on Lin Yan's body.

The officer standing on the second line of defense tried to find a way to cooperate with his general to make their retreat successful.

"Aim at this organic creature, get ready to fire directly."

The ball burst out and hit, blocking Lin Yan's body from moving forward. The ball magic released by the caster passed by, and the moment it hit the target, a ball with a diameter of one meter bloomed and engulfed it in the flame.

The flame burned the surface of the forest rock element. It was fearless of the flame, but the high temperature ball was a disaster for the plants and elemental elves that accompanied it. They shrank into the elemental body in the high temperature flame. Some shallow symbiotic plants that did not react in time were completely destroyed by the penetrating temperature.

At this close distance, it was finally time for the caster to show his power.

The flame ball disappeared in the air for a few seconds, but the forest rock element that walked through it turned black, and the greenness of the surface was completely lost. It looked more like those elemental creatures born beside the mountain, charred and with earthy yellow.

After the auxiliary artillery was loaded, it was fired directly, and a new round of shells was replaced after the firing was completed.

The brittle cellulose body under high heat finally could not resist the bombardment of the large-caliber artillery, and each hit could peel off another piece of stone.

The cannon was silent, and the firing limit had been reached. If it fired again, it would explode, and a new explosion replaced its muffled sound.

A brand-new wall of death blocked the last steps of the cellulose creature.

The grenadiers who successfully transferred to the second line of defense began to use the newly obtained explosive packs to destroy the slowly advancing cellulose creatures. Without the surface shell, they could no longer withstand the explosion and fell to the ground.

Forty-five lance shooters were recalled, and two sets of infantry equipment and two hundred and forty scout hunting spiders were lost.

They took the last floating stone vein on this floating island at this price.

After half a month, all resource points on this island were directly controlled by the territory.
