Chapter 689 Turning Weaknesses into Strengths
The Scorpion King gritted his teeth, blowing his beard and staring in anger.
He forced himself to calm down, smoothed his thick beard, and looked deeply.
Not long after, he issued an order: "Stop all actions, hide and defend in place..."
Before he finished speaking, gunshots rang out loudly from behind, and screams kept coming, reaching the Scorpion King's ears, and his expression changed drastically.
Zhou Lu did not stop after getting rid of the sniper threat.
He became even more unscrupulous, touching the Black Scorpion Army where the Scorpion King was, and launched a melee attack.
He held a pistol in one hand and a fish gut sword in the other. Like an indestructible sharp blade, he stabbed the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group from behind.
In the night, he used his ghostly movement speed to strike left and right among the Black Scorpion Army mercenaries.
The Black Scorpion mercenary was killed so much that he cried for his father and mother. Corpses were strewn on the ground, and he was horrified to death.
Zhou Lu increased his movement speed to the extreme, and even the martial arts masters among the Black Scorpion mercenaries found it difficult to keep track of him.
Only when he heard the screams did he realize that Zhou Lu had killed another person, and the screams continued one after another.
All around were Black Scorpion's own people. Some mercenaries fired in panic, but they could only hit their own people, creating greater chaos and more screams.
A few breaths.
Twenty or thirty Black Scorpion mercenaries fell.
The fish intestine sword in Zhou Lu's hand was like chopping vegetables, striking one by one, leaving no one alive.
The Fish Gut Sword is full of the blood of the Black Scorpion mercenaries, and he also shoots one pistol at a time. Every bullet fired will definitely kill a life.
Judging from the situation, it looked like a commando was attacking.
But the Scorpion King knew in his heart that Zhou Lu was the only one.
It's terrible that one person's raid can create such chaos and killing!
What kind of evil star did you get into?
But as a mercenary leader, Scorpion King calmed himself down again and calmly issued the order: "Launch flares!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Flares shot into the sky one after another.
Suddenly the ground was illuminated as brightly as day.
The Black Scorpion mercenaries formed a circle back to back.
Their eyes were full of horror, they were breathing heavily and looking around nervously.
If you are on the battlefield, as a mercenary who has been tempered by battles, you will not be too panicked if you are attacked.
but,
I was raided tonight. The enemy was right next to me, but I couldn't even see the shadow clearly.
This is too weird and beyond their ability to bear.
After the surface bomb illuminates the ground, the enemy's shadow is still invisible.
It's like disappearing into thin air.
If it weren't for the corpses lying strewn about on the ground, it would be as if there had never been a raid.
Panic, fear, doubt and other emotions are entangled in the hearts of the Black Scorpion mercenaries.
Another news came.
The two prisoners took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
The Scorpion King got the news and understood.
The main purpose of Zhou Lu's single-handed raid just now was actually to deliberately create chaos and rescue the two captured Chinese soldiers.
Seeing this scene, the Scorpion King knew that he could not stay here for long.
Otherwise, the team will suffer even more heavy losses and will not be able to wait until dawn.
No one can predict when Zhou Lu will make a surprise attack, and no one can stop him.
What else is there to do?
The Scorpion King had no choice but to issue an order, shrinking the wings and moving the forwards to the rear. Everyone changed direction and retreated towards the Scorpion Castle base camp.
The Scorpion King can only admit defeat.
Now the only way to ensure safety is to hide behind the strong and high walls of Scorpion Fortress.
In the wilderness and mountains shrouded in darkness, the aura of death is spreading.
Crisis is everywhere, and every tree and plant is under attack!
The Scorpion King judged that the journey back to the Scorpion Fortress would be smoother because every favorable terrain was guarded by Black Scorpion mercenaries.
The order is issued.
The main force of the Black Scorpions, led by the Scorpion King, turned around and retreated to the Scorpion Fortress.
Compared to attacking, the Black Scorpion mercenaries retreated faster.
Zhou Lu's killings were terrifying and mysterious, and his killings made people tremble with fear.
now,
Zhou Lu stood on a cliff and watched the Black Scorpion mercenaries leave, he couldn't help but praise in his heart.
When the Black Scorpion mercenaries retreated, their formation was not disordered, the military formation remained tight, and they were both offensive and defensive.
It fully reflects the quite professional military qualities and is worthy of the title of world-class mercenary. It also shows that King Scorpion is a very capable leader.
It's a pity that they messed with the wrong person.
After Zhou Lu returned from the Ming Dynasty, he showed no mercy to his enemies.
On the battlefield, there is only life or death in sight.
Life represents victory,
Death means failure!
Naturally, we must leave death to the enemy!
then,
He pulled the trigger again.
"Boom!"
The sound of heavy sniper fire exploded again.
A running Black Scorpion mercenary died with a fistful of blood spurting from his head.
Due to inertia, his body rushed forward for a certain distance before rolling to the ground.
The evacuating Black Scorpion mercenaries heard the sound of shooting and determined that Zhou Lu's location was beyond the range of common firearms.
There is currently no professional sniper among the Black Scorpion mercenaries who can compete with them.
The Black Scorpion mercenaries were frightened and could only speed up their pace and run for their lives in a hurry, hoping not to be hit by bullets.
As a result, Black Scorpion's retreat formation became slightly chaotic.
It's fine if only one person dies, but if seven or eight die in less than a minute, it will be extremely frightening.
Every time a gun is fired, someone falls down.
The Black Scorpion mercenaries knew that they had become a living target.
Zhou Lu ran faster than them. Instead of killing the forwards at the rear, he went around to the side and looked for targets in the fast-running team.
Fear gradually overcomes reason.
The retreating team was in chaos.
The Black Scorpion mercenaries began to feel that they were running slowly. Many of them threw away their heavy ammunition and equipment and ran forward with a huff and a cry, wishing that their parents would give them an extra leg.
The Scorpion King's orders and restraints gradually lost their effect.
The Scorpion King did not dare to speak too loudly in a large army, let alone show off.
He was also afraid that Zhou Lu would take aim at him and reward him with a sniper bullet.
Now that things have come to this point, we can only take one step at a time.
The opponent was not only powerful, but also extremely cunning, turning Black Scorpion's overwhelming advantage into a disadvantage.
While King Scorpion felt that it was difficult to control his troops, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
From the men stationed at various favorable terrains, no information came for a long time. There seemed to be no sound.
Now, they were running in the valley between the two mountains. Through this valley, they could see the Scorpion Fortress, which was only a few miles away from the Scorpion Fortress.
Before the Scorpion King could react.
Suddenly!
There were loud gunshots from all sides, explosions all around, and flames devouring lives!
I don't know how many grenades exploded in the Black Scorpion team at the same time.
Immediately, corpses were strewn all over the place, their flesh and blood were mangled, and screams and howls of agony could be heard one after another.
The gunshots came from various commanding heights where the Black Scorpion mercenaries were stationed.
The bullets fired from the commanding heights rained down like raindrops, and the retreating Black Scorpion mercenaries were shot and fell to the ground.
It was obvious that the Black Scorpion mercenaries who were defending on favorable terrain had been quietly removed by the Chinese commando team and replaced with the firepower of the Chinese commando team.
The defensive net that the Scorpion King had painstakingly set up turned into an encirclement composed of commando ambush troops.
Chapter completed!
