Fang Chang’s concerns are not unreasonable.
The premise of arriving at the siege point is that the besieged defenders still have a trace of will to resist.
For the nearly 3,000 imperial soldiers surrounded by the Clarba Market, whether they own this thing is obviously a mystery.
However, compared to simply capturing a prince, he actually has greater ambitions...
Camp Rowell.
The murder dagger wearing an exoskeleton found Lasi, who was sitting on the ammunition box fiddling with LD-47, and went straight to the point.
Come to live.
Putting the new toy he had just obtained aside, Lasi stepped forward and jumped out of the ammunition box, bowed and nodded.
Follow your instructions, sir.
The Killing Dagger didn't mean anything, so he took out a tablet and stuffed it into his hand, pointing out the map with his index finger and the combat plan listed next to the map.
About three thousand remaining soldiers retreated to the Clarba Market. They requisitioned the market's houses and all available bunkers, and built a new line of defense around the area with the remaining ammunition and individual anti-armor weapons.The good news is that they have driven away the civilians in this area and we can let go of all the supporting firepower we can use.As for the bad news, I haven't seen it yet.
But even so, you still should not be careless and underestimate the enemy. I don’t want a group of dogs to suddenly regain their confidence while fighting.You need to do what we said, step by step, first encircle this market, and then put pressure on the besieged troops from four directions, southeast, west and north, to force them to break through...
The index finger pointed at the map, and the killing dagger paused and continued.
...We speculate that they will not go directly to the north, and both east and west are good choices.To reduce uncertainty, we need you to put more pressure on the west side and make some feints appropriately, so that they can choose the east side as the main direction of breaking through as much as possible.
Lasi looked at him with confusion.
Why let them go?I can catch them all for you.
The Killing Dagger said patiently.
This involves the second step of the planning.We hope to intercept them when they retreat and drive some deserters to positions outside the settlement, and take advantage of the support of the ten thousand people outside the settlement, and eat up those who fled outside the city and the ten thousand people who were lying outside the city.
This method is a solution to the aid of the points.
After dispatching a team of 10,000 people to the trench on the front line, Alayan, who was stationed outside the settlement, had no new moves, as if he was planning to let the defeated soldiers in the settlement organize their own troops to break through, while the reinforcements were mainly covering the cover.
It seems that General Alayan did not intend to pay more soldiers for this stupid offensive plan, and this happened to prove further that the attack itself was an accident.
Just like the Thousand-man team at Fries Harbor.
Lasi showed a look of surprise on his face, on the one hand, he was surprised at the plan of the League brothers themselves, and on the other hand, he was surprised at their appetite.
That's a whole team of ten thousand people!
And it is also the most elite ace in the empire!
However, there was no timidity on his face. After a brief thought, he asked a question that was irrelevant but he was very curious about.
Since they are going to let them go, why not just let them go from the north?Isn't that closer?
The Killing Dagger was stunned for a moment, looked at the guy with a strange expression, and asked back.
If it weren't for you, would you run directly to the north?
Lasi was also stunned.
why not?
Regardless of the guy's confused expression, the Killing Dagger looked up at the sky and continued in a hurry.
It's getting dark, so we judge that they will choose to rest for one night and hold their positions until dawn the next morning. Generally speaking, that is the most relaxed moment and the most suitable time to break through... This is the plan. If there are new changes, we will notify you. Now we need you to take action immediately.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and Lasi reached out to pick up the rifle placed next to the ammunition box and nodded seriously.
Leave it to me.
Looking at Lasi who turned around and walked towards the camp radio station, the Killer Dagger suddenly remembered something and called him again.
etc.
Lasi stopped and turned around.
Is there anything else?
The killing dagger pointed to the tablet in his hand.
There are a few people above that we want to live.There are other people who, if someone surrenders, try to keep a living mouth as much as possible... Remember, living people are more valuable than dead people.
Lasi nodded slightly.
Obey orders.
……
Kraba Market.
This is the largest market in Golden Gallon Port, located in the center of the northern city, consisting of hundreds or thousands of shops and stalls, surrounded by rows of rows of square houses.
In the past, these stalls were usually filled with colorful food, spices, textiles, trinkets, and livestock tied with ropes, and even some used electronic products and mechanical clocks transported from other places.
Not only the poor and citizens will visit here to buy daily necessities, but some big businessmen and young nobles dressed in luxurious clothes will also come here to browse on a whim, looking for some rare good things or picking up bargains from people who don’t know how to do business.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is something that is owned by the Xilan Empire, whether it is cheap red clay or toys produced from Ideal City, you can find it here after taking some time.
Usually, this market would be busy from dawn to sunset, and today is as lively as ever.
The only difference is that the bustling crowds have changed from hawking merchants and picking customers to fleeing grey wolves...
stop!What are you doing!?This is my house, you can't AhAh, it hurts!
A man in his thirties was thrown out of the door by a soldier with his arm, and was driven to the street with his two disheveled wives and six children.
Judging from the clothes and appearance of this family, although their identities are not high, they are definitely not snakes, rats, insects and birds.
However, this is no difference for a group of defeated soldiers who have just suffered a defeat.
He didn't listen to the angry man's argument at all. The soldier directly raised the muzzle of the pu-9 submachine gun and pressed it on the man's forehead, yelling.
This is not your home!Now!immediately!leave!If you don't want to cause trouble!
The cold touch made his heart feel like he fell into an ice cave. He felt his hands and feet cold, and his lips were trembling and unable to speak.
Another house not far away.
An old woman held a soldier's leg tightly and kept pleading hard, but was kicked into the door.
Not long after, a burst of gunfire came from there, and then a team of soldiers crossed the bloody threshold with a machine gun.
The man was completely shocked, and a warm feeling flowed down his trouser legs to the ground.
After glanced at the man who was scared to pee his pants, Dilip was too lazy to talk and stepped across the threshold and entered the house.
The guard behind him reached out to grab the man's collar, pushed him to the ground, and threw him coldly.
This is for your own good.
roll!
The man did not dare to stop, and stood up, not caring about slapping off the ashes on his body, and hurriedly pulled the whole family away.
The entire market was in a mess, and the dirt-covered residents were pushed out of their homes without even having time to pack their luggage.
A group of people crowded in a daze on the mud road two streets from Kraba Market, at a loss as they watched the strange streets around them.
A mother with a frightened look on her face was running around looking for the lost child. A well-dressed man hesitated to reach out to knock on the nearby door to ask if he could be taken in for one night. Someone unbuttoned the buttons for a piece of bread that was so hard that he could knock his teeth off...
The children who were separated from their relatives curled up on the ground and cried bitterly, the devout believers folded their hands together and prayed, while some people sat on the ground in despair and muttered.
What should we do?
When will they stay... A dirt-faced man muttered in a low voice, "Did they not leave, and we are waiting here all the time?"
The old man next to him sighed, his face full of sorrow.
...I can only wait.
At this moment, everyone's fate seemed to have temporarily become the same, no matter what shape of label it was attached to.
Looking at the street that gradually merged into the twilight, some people shook the child in their arms and hummed softly, some people sang it, some people closed their eyes and enjoyed the tranquility and equality, and weaved a song in the noisy and chaos...
They are actually quite lucky.
Most of the soldiers here are defeated for the first time, and they still regard them as their people. If they lose a few more games, it is hard to say what will happen.
The defeated troops retreating to the Clarba Market finally completed the construction of the defense line before dusk, and gunfire sounded from all directions.
They found that it seemed that they were not the devil summoned by the Alliance, but the militia unit composed of locals.
This also made these wolf soldiers trapped in the market extremely angry.
In their opinion, this was undoubtedly a betrayal.
Fortunately, these militias were not very strong in combat. Although they tried to launch several feint attacks under the cover of mortars, they did not have any obvious effect. So they retreated and changed to surround them, and fired a cold gun from time to time.
But even so, no one dares to relax.
The big crab that rushed around left them with too deep impression, and no one could guarantee that the crabs would not follow the militia outside in the next round of offensive...
The sky gradually darkened.
The green-bottomed double-sword flag still did not float on the roof of the Governor's Mansion, but Prince Dilip, who was in trouble, had no time to have that unrealistic dream.
After glanced at the communication soldier who was still debugging the radio, he waved his hand to signal the guard to walk to his side and gave him a message.
I'm hungry, so I'm getting some food for me.
The guard nodded quickly and called the accompanying servants to prepare food.
After a while, a bowl of ginger-colored beans floated up, and a small plate of onion juice and two slices of cakes sprinkled with sesame seeds were placed in the basket presented together.
The guards guarding the room couldn't help but swallow, but Prince Dilip frowned.
It's all beans.
The servant who brought the food to him said with a bitter face.
Sir, this is the only one in their kitchen...
Dilip's brows twisted into a hemp rope.
The cake sprinkled with sesame seeds is still fine, with a buttery smell, but the beans are for feeding animals, and they are not something for humans to eat at all.
After hesitating for a long time, Prince Dilip pushed the food away in disgust.
I went to search in other houses and I wanted to eat meat.
The servant did not dare to say anything, and the guard beside him nodded quickly and saluted.
yes!
Watching the guard leave, Dilip noticed that the other guards in the house were swallowing, so he ordered the servants to distribute the food to them.
Looking at the voracious guards, a hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A group of ignorant inferior people.
The superiority of being frustrated seemed to be found from other places, and Prince Dilip felt much better.
It happened that at this time, the radio station was finally repaired and the contact with the rear command center was finally restored.
Overjoyed Dilip immediately ordered the communications soldiers to call the phone to the rear command center, then grabbed the phone and shouted in advance without waiting for Alayan to speak.
What are you doing?Why did I call for the shelling for a long time and didn't even see the shadow of a shell?
There was a rustling sound of electric current in the earpiece, and there was no response.
Seeing Alayan being frightened by his momentum, Dilip took a deep breath and continued in a gentle tone.
Because of your poor support, there is something wrong with the front line now, but there is no big problem... In short, I need reinforcements, and I will give me another 5,000 men, twelve artillery and more anti-armor weapons and explosives. The alliance got an iron lump from somewhere. Damn, we should borrow a few tanks from the legion!
Alayan patiently waited for him to explain everything, and then calmly replied only two words.
return.
Dilip was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red.
You are ordering me!
There was another long silence in the communication channel.
Seeing that there was no echo for a long time, Dilip's originally angry mood suddenly felt a little panic.
It was not until this moment that he truly realized his situation.
He was not a sand table game of war games with His Majesty in the palace, but was standing on the real battlefield and was even surrounded by the enemy!
If this guy leaves himself alone
Dilip's lips trembled, and after waiting for a while, he finally squeezed out of his dry throat and begged.
Save me.
There was finally an echo on the other end of the radio.
...At 5 a.m. tomorrow, I will try to launch a round of artillery bombardment in the city near Kraba Market to cover you to break through the encirclement.There is a team of ten thousand people outside the city to pick you up. Listen, this is your only chance to not be captured by the league and come back alive.
Remembering every word on the radio seriously, Dilip nodded tremblingly.
yes!
Before Alayan finished speaking, he paused and continued.
...In addition, it is not ruled out that our enemies deliberately put a way for you to lure you out of the position, and then put you in your pocket and catch them all in one go.Remember, before leaving, send someone to feint attacks several times to test the strength of the firepower, and you should not take the easiest way to go.
As the words fell, the communication was also hung up.
Prince Dilip only felt his back soaked in sweat, and he sat down on the chair with all his strength.
Looking at the last ray of light that gradually sank into the roof outside the window, he seemed to be staring at the hope that was about to fall into the darkness, his eyes full of despair.
Hope to survive tonight.
hope……
At the same time, Alayan threw the phone on the table, which was more than ten kilometers away, and then sat on the chair with a painful face.
The officers around were silent and no one spoke.
It is the best ending to be able to save Dilip's fool, but if it really doesn't work, he will die on the way to break through.
At least don't be captured by the Alliance.
Otherwise, another chip will be added to the enemy's hand.
As for the remaining nearly three thousand gray wolf army warriors...
It can only be left to fate.
……
The long night finally passed, and a touch of white was printed on the pier of Golden Gallon Port.
But what tear off the last tranquility of the night was not the first ray of sunshine shining on this land in the early morning, but the deafening sound of cannons.
fire!
The artillery positions of the Gray Wolf Army were roaring loudly, and 100mm grenades rose into the sky and fell towards the city near Kraba Market.
As it turns out, General Alayan has two tricks.
All day yesterday, he was testing the extreme range of Alliance artillery and after completing the test, he spread the artillery out of the effective range of the port artillery positions.
But in contrast, this distance is basically close to the limit of range for the Empire's 100mm howitzer.
One by one, Brownian sports bombs were scattered in the city, only two-fifths fell around the Clarba market, and even one-fifth fell into the market.
As for the remaining two-fifths, no one knows where they will fall.
Mom... These guys really don't regard the survivors here as their own.
Standing on the wall of Camp Rowell, Dagger looked at the thick smoke rising from the city in the distance with a look of surprise.
If it weren't for Shuguang City like this, he would have almost never remembered who the battle was on.
It seems that there are people in the Clarba Market that they have to take back at all costs.Looking down at the survivors who blocked the door under the wall, the kidney fighter said helplessly, "Who will explain to them? If you encounter this kind of curved firepower... This broken wall is actually useless, and it is more dangerous to get together.
To be more cruel, a grenade hit the roof. Although it is probably dead for this family, most of the fragments and shock waves can be buried by the wall.
From the perspective of minimal casualties, the safest thing at this time is to stay at home instead of rushing around the street.
Especially the Rowell Camp is a strategic location at least. Even if it is not the main attack direction of the Gray Wolf Army today, it is hard to say what will happen tomorrow.
The Killing Dagger sighed.
I'll try it.
Although he felt that it was meaningless to do so...
At the same time as the Gray Wolf Army artillery launched an artillery bombardment on the northern urban area of Golden Gallon Port, nearly 3,000 defeated troops trapped in the Clarba Market also began to break through.
The Gray Wolf soldiers holding rifles gathered along the edge of the building, and launched a fierce attack on the militia outside the Kraba Market in units of 100 people, from southeast, west and north.
The gunshots echoing inside and outside the market were like firecrackers, and the bullets were flying around like flying rain.
The wooden stall was pushed down on the street as a shooting bunker, and in a short while the bullets were shot.
Soon a group of soldiers wrapped the broken bricks and soil bombarded by shells with bed sheets, and piled them on two-wheeled trucks to form a temporary shelter.
One person pushed the chariot full of obstacles and charged forward, while nine people followed behind, charging forward desperately while firing.
From time to time, someone was shot and fell down, but soon someone got it up.
Driven by the desire to survive, the soldiers of the Gray Wolf Army burst out with amazing combat power like hyenas forced into the corner. For a moment, they could not raise their heads by fighting several times their militia.
Seeing the hope of escaping, Prince Dilip, hiding on the second floor of the house, excitedly poked his head out of the window, pulled his hoarse voice and shouted at the soldiers at the market.
Rush over to me!The way home is right in front!What stands in front of you is just a group of cannon fodder from Make up the numbers!Hopeless garbage!A coward who betrays the empire!Use the rifle in your hands to tell them who is the real brave!
Fortunately, there was constant gunfire and artillery fire around him, and the soldiers leaning against the bunker could not hear his roar. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether anyone would be able to raise his head and shoot him.
Satish, the commander in charge nearby, happened to hear it. His brow twitched violently, but he could only suppress the anger in his chest and pretend that he didn't hear it.
Fuck!
Who was the one who was trapped here!
Just as he was cursing, new news came from the front line.
A 100-man team has successfully penetrated the defense line deployed by the puppet army on the east side and opened a passage to retreat outside the settlement.
Listening to the good news reported by the front-line officers in the radio station, Qianfu took a deep breath, returned to the downstairs of the house where Prince Dilip was, and shouted loudly towards the window on the second floor.
...Sir, our soldiers have already opened the gap in the east!You come down quickly and we will cover your retreat!
Prince Dilip was about to respond, but suddenly remembered General Alayan's previous warning, and quickly swallowed the words that had already flowed to his mouth.
No!I won't leave there!That's the league's trap!Have you forgotten how powerful their firepower was yesterday?How could they let us go so easily!This must have been their conspiracy, they deliberately released us from the east and then beat us all in one go!
Hearing this willful speech, Satish almost spit out an old blood.
To be honest, this analysis is indeed reasonable.
If he was the commander on the opposite side, he would also consider using the tactic of "three circumferences" and "one", but shouldn't this be something I discussed before starting to break through?!
Now that the defense line has been opened, everyone has seen the hope of escaping, but you said you won’t leave here?!
What a joke!
Does this guy really treat the people under his command as war games in the sand table?!
We have no choice!Holding his anger, Satish yelled at him, and in order to open this line of defense, we have left at least 500 brothers. Even if it was a trap, we can only rush over now!This is the only opportunity!They can't capture everyone!
Satish, I'll say it again!This is the order!The soldiers who had already broken through the defense line continued to advance, and the remaining people broke through to... to the north!If you refuse to obey the order, just wait for His Majesty to ask for the crime!Prince Dilip roared with a timid and cowardly look on his pale face.
To be honest, he didn't know what to do.
When deducing chess pieces on the sand table, there were no bullets and artillery fire flying all over the sky, and every wrong decision might make him lose his life.
Perhaps the only thing that is a little better than an outsider, he knows that no matter what he does, he is better than doing nothing at this time.
Just do what Alayan said.
If you lose, you can still blame that guy.
He was extremely regretful in his heart now. He shouldn't have spoken out at the beginning and asked Alayan for the five thousand people to attack the Governor's Mansion.
However, it is too late to say anything now.
The plan wasn't on the track he expected from the beginning, and every unexpected order made the situation worse.
If the enemy can allow him to press the pause button and think about it carefully...
It's better to let him take a look at his hand again.
Satish looked at the prince standing on the second floor in despair, stumbled back two steps, his lips trembled for a long time, and finally grabbed the phone from the communications soldier and shouted in despair.
Units that have broken through the defense line continue to move forward!The rest of the units launched an attack on the defense line on the north side of the market!Rush over to me at all costs!
Nothing makes sense now.
Showing loyalty to Your Majesty will at least protect his family.
Now that things have come to this point, he can only give up...
……
The east side of Kraba Market.
The continuous gunfire suddenly stopped, and it stopped without warning, like a candle fire blown out by a light breeze.
The remnants of the Gray Wolf Army, which had already pried a gap in the encirclement, suddenly gave up a stimulating offensive.
Except for the 100-man team that had already broken through, which was still moving forward in despair, the remaining soldiers turned their guns and rushed to the north of the market.
They were like they were tearing them apart in order to tear the defense line, and they had no intention of rushing over the defense line that had already been broken through.
Without subsequent firepower support, the 100-man team that rushed out of the encirclement was quickly captured, with guns on the back of the head, and squatted on the ground in a dusty state.
The defense line that had been penetrated to the east of the market was closed again after the militia was hesitantly moved.
This strange scene was beyond everyone's expectations.
If it weren't for people standing on the front line, Lasi wouldn't believe it was true.
But even though he saw it with his own eyes, when he heard the report from his subordinates from the walkie-talkie, he was still stunned.
...They really walked north?
Yes... they concentrated all their forces to break north!Damn, these guys are crazy!The noisy gunfire and rapid breathing came from the other end of the walkie-talkie, which shows how anxious the battle was.
Lasi immediately asked.
How are you doing?Can it be kept?!
Frontline officer: The problem... shouldn't be big!Although they are numerous, most of them are exhausted... Do you want to let them go?
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Lasi pondered for a moment and ordered decisively.
Stand your position!Keep it at all costs!The brothers of the Alliance want the empire's lackeys to roll eastwards, and they must not let a person walk northwards!
The front-line officer replied firmly.
yes!
Hang off the communication.
Lasi then ordered his subordinates to withdraw the brothers who filled the gap in the defense line on the east side of the market.
He knew very well who gave the power in his hands, and he knew even more that if the alliance wanted to support him, he had to show the value that matched him.
And to do this, completing the order is even more important than victory itself.
He longs to prove himself.
Even if he tried his best to get the last drop of blood, he would twist the necks of the hyenas back from the north!
He doesn't believe it yet.
These guys really don’t go east even if they die!
but
Although the master's order is more important than victory itself, it is impossible to say that Lasi has no doubt at all.
Looking at the market entrance with a wide open door not far away, he was silent for a long time before muttering in a voice that only he could hear.
I said they would retreat north...
At the same time, on the wall of Rowell Camp, the Killing Dagger overlooking the battlefield through a four-rotor drone, also had a confused expression on his face.
He saw with his own eyes that the remnants of the Gray Wolf Army who were trapped in the market broke through the defense line on the east side of the market.
However, before he could send an interception signal to the Third and Fourth Hundred Men who had been ambushing nearby for a long time, he also watched the group of gray wolves suddenly gave up breaking and attacked the north side of the market.
What is the operation?!
Unscientific Ah...
His mouth was repeatedly muttering, his eyes full of incomprehension.
However, just as he was about to report this abnormal situation to the temporary command center in the rear and requested the next step of instructions, the situation under the drone camera changed a new change.
It seemed that he could no longer bear the continuous casualties. The remaining Grey Wolf soldiers gathered all their forces and launched the last round of fierce attack on the defense line on the north side of the market.
The last intensive gunshots were somewhat desperate, and both sides also suffered huge casualties.
However, the militia who were standing there still worked hard to maintain the defense line.
There was no progress in the past few consecutive breakthroughs. The remaining more than a thousand gray wolves finally collapsed and scattered into a pile of sand on the solid defense line.
But even so, they still did not choose to withdraw from the east side of the market, even though the militia surrounding the market had already left a door for them.
They dropped their weapons, raised their hands and walked out of the bunker in despair, unable to stop their superiors from shouting...
Even after finding that the scolding was useless, their commander raised his hands and walked out.
Not only was the Killing Dagger falling into silence, but even Fang Chang and Lao Bai, who were far away in the temporary command, were stunned when they heard the news from the front line.
This ace they have high hopes for...
He actually voted like this?!
The premise of arriving at the siege point is that the besieged defenders still have a trace of will to resist.
For the nearly 3,000 imperial soldiers surrounded by the Clarba Market, whether they own this thing is obviously a mystery.
However, compared to simply capturing a prince, he actually has greater ambitions...
Camp Rowell.
The murder dagger wearing an exoskeleton found Lasi, who was sitting on the ammunition box fiddling with LD-47, and went straight to the point.
Come to live.
Putting the new toy he had just obtained aside, Lasi stepped forward and jumped out of the ammunition box, bowed and nodded.
Follow your instructions, sir.
The Killing Dagger didn't mean anything, so he took out a tablet and stuffed it into his hand, pointing out the map with his index finger and the combat plan listed next to the map.
About three thousand remaining soldiers retreated to the Clarba Market. They requisitioned the market's houses and all available bunkers, and built a new line of defense around the area with the remaining ammunition and individual anti-armor weapons.The good news is that they have driven away the civilians in this area and we can let go of all the supporting firepower we can use.As for the bad news, I haven't seen it yet.
But even so, you still should not be careless and underestimate the enemy. I don’t want a group of dogs to suddenly regain their confidence while fighting.You need to do what we said, step by step, first encircle this market, and then put pressure on the besieged troops from four directions, southeast, west and north, to force them to break through...
The index finger pointed at the map, and the killing dagger paused and continued.
...We speculate that they will not go directly to the north, and both east and west are good choices.To reduce uncertainty, we need you to put more pressure on the west side and make some feints appropriately, so that they can choose the east side as the main direction of breaking through as much as possible.
Lasi looked at him with confusion.
Why let them go?I can catch them all for you.
The Killing Dagger said patiently.
This involves the second step of the planning.We hope to intercept them when they retreat and drive some deserters to positions outside the settlement, and take advantage of the support of the ten thousand people outside the settlement, and eat up those who fled outside the city and the ten thousand people who were lying outside the city.
This method is a solution to the aid of the points.
After dispatching a team of 10,000 people to the trench on the front line, Alayan, who was stationed outside the settlement, had no new moves, as if he was planning to let the defeated soldiers in the settlement organize their own troops to break through, while the reinforcements were mainly covering the cover.
It seems that General Alayan did not intend to pay more soldiers for this stupid offensive plan, and this happened to prove further that the attack itself was an accident.
Just like the Thousand-man team at Fries Harbor.
Lasi showed a look of surprise on his face, on the one hand, he was surprised at the plan of the League brothers themselves, and on the other hand, he was surprised at their appetite.
That's a whole team of ten thousand people!
And it is also the most elite ace in the empire!
However, there was no timidity on his face. After a brief thought, he asked a question that was irrelevant but he was very curious about.
Since they are going to let them go, why not just let them go from the north?Isn't that closer?
The Killing Dagger was stunned for a moment, looked at the guy with a strange expression, and asked back.
If it weren't for you, would you run directly to the north?
Lasi was also stunned.
why not?
Regardless of the guy's confused expression, the Killing Dagger looked up at the sky and continued in a hurry.
It's getting dark, so we judge that they will choose to rest for one night and hold their positions until dawn the next morning. Generally speaking, that is the most relaxed moment and the most suitable time to break through... This is the plan. If there are new changes, we will notify you. Now we need you to take action immediately.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and Lasi reached out to pick up the rifle placed next to the ammunition box and nodded seriously.
Leave it to me.
Looking at Lasi who turned around and walked towards the camp radio station, the Killer Dagger suddenly remembered something and called him again.
etc.
Lasi stopped and turned around.
Is there anything else?
The killing dagger pointed to the tablet in his hand.
There are a few people above that we want to live.There are other people who, if someone surrenders, try to keep a living mouth as much as possible... Remember, living people are more valuable than dead people.
Lasi nodded slightly.
Obey orders.
……
Kraba Market.
This is the largest market in Golden Gallon Port, located in the center of the northern city, consisting of hundreds or thousands of shops and stalls, surrounded by rows of rows of square houses.
In the past, these stalls were usually filled with colorful food, spices, textiles, trinkets, and livestock tied with ropes, and even some used electronic products and mechanical clocks transported from other places.
Not only the poor and citizens will visit here to buy daily necessities, but some big businessmen and young nobles dressed in luxurious clothes will also come here to browse on a whim, looking for some rare good things or picking up bargains from people who don’t know how to do business.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is something that is owned by the Xilan Empire, whether it is cheap red clay or toys produced from Ideal City, you can find it here after taking some time.
Usually, this market would be busy from dawn to sunset, and today is as lively as ever.
The only difference is that the bustling crowds have changed from hawking merchants and picking customers to fleeing grey wolves...
stop!What are you doing!?This is my house, you can't AhAh, it hurts!
A man in his thirties was thrown out of the door by a soldier with his arm, and was driven to the street with his two disheveled wives and six children.
Judging from the clothes and appearance of this family, although their identities are not high, they are definitely not snakes, rats, insects and birds.
However, this is no difference for a group of defeated soldiers who have just suffered a defeat.
He didn't listen to the angry man's argument at all. The soldier directly raised the muzzle of the pu-9 submachine gun and pressed it on the man's forehead, yelling.
This is not your home!Now!immediately!leave!If you don't want to cause trouble!
The cold touch made his heart feel like he fell into an ice cave. He felt his hands and feet cold, and his lips were trembling and unable to speak.
Another house not far away.
An old woman held a soldier's leg tightly and kept pleading hard, but was kicked into the door.
Not long after, a burst of gunfire came from there, and then a team of soldiers crossed the bloody threshold with a machine gun.
The man was completely shocked, and a warm feeling flowed down his trouser legs to the ground.
After glanced at the man who was scared to pee his pants, Dilip was too lazy to talk and stepped across the threshold and entered the house.
The guard behind him reached out to grab the man's collar, pushed him to the ground, and threw him coldly.
This is for your own good.
roll!
The man did not dare to stop, and stood up, not caring about slapping off the ashes on his body, and hurriedly pulled the whole family away.
The entire market was in a mess, and the dirt-covered residents were pushed out of their homes without even having time to pack their luggage.
A group of people crowded in a daze on the mud road two streets from Kraba Market, at a loss as they watched the strange streets around them.
A mother with a frightened look on her face was running around looking for the lost child. A well-dressed man hesitated to reach out to knock on the nearby door to ask if he could be taken in for one night. Someone unbuttoned the buttons for a piece of bread that was so hard that he could knock his teeth off...
The children who were separated from their relatives curled up on the ground and cried bitterly, the devout believers folded their hands together and prayed, while some people sat on the ground in despair and muttered.
What should we do?
When will they stay... A dirt-faced man muttered in a low voice, "Did they not leave, and we are waiting here all the time?"
The old man next to him sighed, his face full of sorrow.
...I can only wait.
At this moment, everyone's fate seemed to have temporarily become the same, no matter what shape of label it was attached to.
Looking at the street that gradually merged into the twilight, some people shook the child in their arms and hummed softly, some people sang it, some people closed their eyes and enjoyed the tranquility and equality, and weaved a song in the noisy and chaos...
They are actually quite lucky.
Most of the soldiers here are defeated for the first time, and they still regard them as their people. If they lose a few more games, it is hard to say what will happen.
The defeated troops retreating to the Clarba Market finally completed the construction of the defense line before dusk, and gunfire sounded from all directions.
They found that it seemed that they were not the devil summoned by the Alliance, but the militia unit composed of locals.
This also made these wolf soldiers trapped in the market extremely angry.
In their opinion, this was undoubtedly a betrayal.
Fortunately, these militias were not very strong in combat. Although they tried to launch several feint attacks under the cover of mortars, they did not have any obvious effect. So they retreated and changed to surround them, and fired a cold gun from time to time.
But even so, no one dares to relax.
The big crab that rushed around left them with too deep impression, and no one could guarantee that the crabs would not follow the militia outside in the next round of offensive...
The sky gradually darkened.
The green-bottomed double-sword flag still did not float on the roof of the Governor's Mansion, but Prince Dilip, who was in trouble, had no time to have that unrealistic dream.
After glanced at the communication soldier who was still debugging the radio, he waved his hand to signal the guard to walk to his side and gave him a message.
I'm hungry, so I'm getting some food for me.
The guard nodded quickly and called the accompanying servants to prepare food.
After a while, a bowl of ginger-colored beans floated up, and a small plate of onion juice and two slices of cakes sprinkled with sesame seeds were placed in the basket presented together.
The guards guarding the room couldn't help but swallow, but Prince Dilip frowned.
It's all beans.
The servant who brought the food to him said with a bitter face.
Sir, this is the only one in their kitchen...
Dilip's brows twisted into a hemp rope.
The cake sprinkled with sesame seeds is still fine, with a buttery smell, but the beans are for feeding animals, and they are not something for humans to eat at all.
After hesitating for a long time, Prince Dilip pushed the food away in disgust.
I went to search in other houses and I wanted to eat meat.
The servant did not dare to say anything, and the guard beside him nodded quickly and saluted.
yes!
Watching the guard leave, Dilip noticed that the other guards in the house were swallowing, so he ordered the servants to distribute the food to them.
Looking at the voracious guards, a hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A group of ignorant inferior people.
The superiority of being frustrated seemed to be found from other places, and Prince Dilip felt much better.
It happened that at this time, the radio station was finally repaired and the contact with the rear command center was finally restored.
Overjoyed Dilip immediately ordered the communications soldiers to call the phone to the rear command center, then grabbed the phone and shouted in advance without waiting for Alayan to speak.
What are you doing?Why did I call for the shelling for a long time and didn't even see the shadow of a shell?
There was a rustling sound of electric current in the earpiece, and there was no response.
Seeing Alayan being frightened by his momentum, Dilip took a deep breath and continued in a gentle tone.
Because of your poor support, there is something wrong with the front line now, but there is no big problem... In short, I need reinforcements, and I will give me another 5,000 men, twelve artillery and more anti-armor weapons and explosives. The alliance got an iron lump from somewhere. Damn, we should borrow a few tanks from the legion!
Alayan patiently waited for him to explain everything, and then calmly replied only two words.
return.
Dilip was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red.
You are ordering me!
There was another long silence in the communication channel.
Seeing that there was no echo for a long time, Dilip's originally angry mood suddenly felt a little panic.
It was not until this moment that he truly realized his situation.
He was not a sand table game of war games with His Majesty in the palace, but was standing on the real battlefield and was even surrounded by the enemy!
If this guy leaves himself alone
Dilip's lips trembled, and after waiting for a while, he finally squeezed out of his dry throat and begged.
Save me.
There was finally an echo on the other end of the radio.
...At 5 a.m. tomorrow, I will try to launch a round of artillery bombardment in the city near Kraba Market to cover you to break through the encirclement.There is a team of ten thousand people outside the city to pick you up. Listen, this is your only chance to not be captured by the league and come back alive.
Remembering every word on the radio seriously, Dilip nodded tremblingly.
yes!
Before Alayan finished speaking, he paused and continued.
...In addition, it is not ruled out that our enemies deliberately put a way for you to lure you out of the position, and then put you in your pocket and catch them all in one go.Remember, before leaving, send someone to feint attacks several times to test the strength of the firepower, and you should not take the easiest way to go.
As the words fell, the communication was also hung up.
Prince Dilip only felt his back soaked in sweat, and he sat down on the chair with all his strength.
Looking at the last ray of light that gradually sank into the roof outside the window, he seemed to be staring at the hope that was about to fall into the darkness, his eyes full of despair.
Hope to survive tonight.
hope……
At the same time, Alayan threw the phone on the table, which was more than ten kilometers away, and then sat on the chair with a painful face.
The officers around were silent and no one spoke.
It is the best ending to be able to save Dilip's fool, but if it really doesn't work, he will die on the way to break through.
At least don't be captured by the Alliance.
Otherwise, another chip will be added to the enemy's hand.
As for the remaining nearly three thousand gray wolf army warriors...
It can only be left to fate.
……
The long night finally passed, and a touch of white was printed on the pier of Golden Gallon Port.
But what tear off the last tranquility of the night was not the first ray of sunshine shining on this land in the early morning, but the deafening sound of cannons.
fire!
The artillery positions of the Gray Wolf Army were roaring loudly, and 100mm grenades rose into the sky and fell towards the city near Kraba Market.
As it turns out, General Alayan has two tricks.
All day yesterday, he was testing the extreme range of Alliance artillery and after completing the test, he spread the artillery out of the effective range of the port artillery positions.
But in contrast, this distance is basically close to the limit of range for the Empire's 100mm howitzer.
One by one, Brownian sports bombs were scattered in the city, only two-fifths fell around the Clarba market, and even one-fifth fell into the market.
As for the remaining two-fifths, no one knows where they will fall.
Mom... These guys really don't regard the survivors here as their own.
Standing on the wall of Camp Rowell, Dagger looked at the thick smoke rising from the city in the distance with a look of surprise.
If it weren't for Shuguang City like this, he would have almost never remembered who the battle was on.
It seems that there are people in the Clarba Market that they have to take back at all costs.Looking down at the survivors who blocked the door under the wall, the kidney fighter said helplessly, "Who will explain to them? If you encounter this kind of curved firepower... This broken wall is actually useless, and it is more dangerous to get together.
To be more cruel, a grenade hit the roof. Although it is probably dead for this family, most of the fragments and shock waves can be buried by the wall.
From the perspective of minimal casualties, the safest thing at this time is to stay at home instead of rushing around the street.
Especially the Rowell Camp is a strategic location at least. Even if it is not the main attack direction of the Gray Wolf Army today, it is hard to say what will happen tomorrow.
The Killing Dagger sighed.
I'll try it.
Although he felt that it was meaningless to do so...
At the same time as the Gray Wolf Army artillery launched an artillery bombardment on the northern urban area of Golden Gallon Port, nearly 3,000 defeated troops trapped in the Clarba Market also began to break through.
The Gray Wolf soldiers holding rifles gathered along the edge of the building, and launched a fierce attack on the militia outside the Kraba Market in units of 100 people, from southeast, west and north.
The gunshots echoing inside and outside the market were like firecrackers, and the bullets were flying around like flying rain.
The wooden stall was pushed down on the street as a shooting bunker, and in a short while the bullets were shot.
Soon a group of soldiers wrapped the broken bricks and soil bombarded by shells with bed sheets, and piled them on two-wheeled trucks to form a temporary shelter.
One person pushed the chariot full of obstacles and charged forward, while nine people followed behind, charging forward desperately while firing.
From time to time, someone was shot and fell down, but soon someone got it up.
Driven by the desire to survive, the soldiers of the Gray Wolf Army burst out with amazing combat power like hyenas forced into the corner. For a moment, they could not raise their heads by fighting several times their militia.
Seeing the hope of escaping, Prince Dilip, hiding on the second floor of the house, excitedly poked his head out of the window, pulled his hoarse voice and shouted at the soldiers at the market.
Rush over to me!The way home is right in front!What stands in front of you is just a group of cannon fodder from Make up the numbers!Hopeless garbage!A coward who betrays the empire!Use the rifle in your hands to tell them who is the real brave!
Fortunately, there was constant gunfire and artillery fire around him, and the soldiers leaning against the bunker could not hear his roar. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether anyone would be able to raise his head and shoot him.
Satish, the commander in charge nearby, happened to hear it. His brow twitched violently, but he could only suppress the anger in his chest and pretend that he didn't hear it.
Fuck!
Who was the one who was trapped here!
Just as he was cursing, new news came from the front line.
A 100-man team has successfully penetrated the defense line deployed by the puppet army on the east side and opened a passage to retreat outside the settlement.
Listening to the good news reported by the front-line officers in the radio station, Qianfu took a deep breath, returned to the downstairs of the house where Prince Dilip was, and shouted loudly towards the window on the second floor.
...Sir, our soldiers have already opened the gap in the east!You come down quickly and we will cover your retreat!
Prince Dilip was about to respond, but suddenly remembered General Alayan's previous warning, and quickly swallowed the words that had already flowed to his mouth.
No!I won't leave there!That's the league's trap!Have you forgotten how powerful their firepower was yesterday?How could they let us go so easily!This must have been their conspiracy, they deliberately released us from the east and then beat us all in one go!
Hearing this willful speech, Satish almost spit out an old blood.
To be honest, this analysis is indeed reasonable.
If he was the commander on the opposite side, he would also consider using the tactic of "three circumferences" and "one", but shouldn't this be something I discussed before starting to break through?!
Now that the defense line has been opened, everyone has seen the hope of escaping, but you said you won’t leave here?!
What a joke!
Does this guy really treat the people under his command as war games in the sand table?!
We have no choice!Holding his anger, Satish yelled at him, and in order to open this line of defense, we have left at least 500 brothers. Even if it was a trap, we can only rush over now!This is the only opportunity!They can't capture everyone!
Satish, I'll say it again!This is the order!The soldiers who had already broken through the defense line continued to advance, and the remaining people broke through to... to the north!If you refuse to obey the order, just wait for His Majesty to ask for the crime!Prince Dilip roared with a timid and cowardly look on his pale face.
To be honest, he didn't know what to do.
When deducing chess pieces on the sand table, there were no bullets and artillery fire flying all over the sky, and every wrong decision might make him lose his life.
Perhaps the only thing that is a little better than an outsider, he knows that no matter what he does, he is better than doing nothing at this time.
Just do what Alayan said.
If you lose, you can still blame that guy.
He was extremely regretful in his heart now. He shouldn't have spoken out at the beginning and asked Alayan for the five thousand people to attack the Governor's Mansion.
However, it is too late to say anything now.
The plan wasn't on the track he expected from the beginning, and every unexpected order made the situation worse.
If the enemy can allow him to press the pause button and think about it carefully...
It's better to let him take a look at his hand again.
Satish looked at the prince standing on the second floor in despair, stumbled back two steps, his lips trembled for a long time, and finally grabbed the phone from the communications soldier and shouted in despair.
Units that have broken through the defense line continue to move forward!The rest of the units launched an attack on the defense line on the north side of the market!Rush over to me at all costs!
Nothing makes sense now.
Showing loyalty to Your Majesty will at least protect his family.
Now that things have come to this point, he can only give up...
……
The east side of Kraba Market.
The continuous gunfire suddenly stopped, and it stopped without warning, like a candle fire blown out by a light breeze.
The remnants of the Gray Wolf Army, which had already pried a gap in the encirclement, suddenly gave up a stimulating offensive.
Except for the 100-man team that had already broken through, which was still moving forward in despair, the remaining soldiers turned their guns and rushed to the north of the market.
They were like they were tearing them apart in order to tear the defense line, and they had no intention of rushing over the defense line that had already been broken through.
Without subsequent firepower support, the 100-man team that rushed out of the encirclement was quickly captured, with guns on the back of the head, and squatted on the ground in a dusty state.
The defense line that had been penetrated to the east of the market was closed again after the militia was hesitantly moved.
This strange scene was beyond everyone's expectations.
If it weren't for people standing on the front line, Lasi wouldn't believe it was true.
But even though he saw it with his own eyes, when he heard the report from his subordinates from the walkie-talkie, he was still stunned.
...They really walked north?
Yes... they concentrated all their forces to break north!Damn, these guys are crazy!The noisy gunfire and rapid breathing came from the other end of the walkie-talkie, which shows how anxious the battle was.
Lasi immediately asked.
How are you doing?Can it be kept?!
Frontline officer: The problem... shouldn't be big!Although they are numerous, most of them are exhausted... Do you want to let them go?
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Lasi pondered for a moment and ordered decisively.
Stand your position!Keep it at all costs!The brothers of the Alliance want the empire's lackeys to roll eastwards, and they must not let a person walk northwards!
The front-line officer replied firmly.
yes!
Hang off the communication.
Lasi then ordered his subordinates to withdraw the brothers who filled the gap in the defense line on the east side of the market.
He knew very well who gave the power in his hands, and he knew even more that if the alliance wanted to support him, he had to show the value that matched him.
And to do this, completing the order is even more important than victory itself.
He longs to prove himself.
Even if he tried his best to get the last drop of blood, he would twist the necks of the hyenas back from the north!
He doesn't believe it yet.
These guys really don’t go east even if they die!
but
Although the master's order is more important than victory itself, it is impossible to say that Lasi has no doubt at all.
Looking at the market entrance with a wide open door not far away, he was silent for a long time before muttering in a voice that only he could hear.
I said they would retreat north...
At the same time, on the wall of Rowell Camp, the Killing Dagger overlooking the battlefield through a four-rotor drone, also had a confused expression on his face.
He saw with his own eyes that the remnants of the Gray Wolf Army who were trapped in the market broke through the defense line on the east side of the market.
However, before he could send an interception signal to the Third and Fourth Hundred Men who had been ambushing nearby for a long time, he also watched the group of gray wolves suddenly gave up breaking and attacked the north side of the market.
What is the operation?!
Unscientific Ah...
His mouth was repeatedly muttering, his eyes full of incomprehension.
However, just as he was about to report this abnormal situation to the temporary command center in the rear and requested the next step of instructions, the situation under the drone camera changed a new change.
It seemed that he could no longer bear the continuous casualties. The remaining Grey Wolf soldiers gathered all their forces and launched the last round of fierce attack on the defense line on the north side of the market.
The last intensive gunshots were somewhat desperate, and both sides also suffered huge casualties.
However, the militia who were standing there still worked hard to maintain the defense line.
There was no progress in the past few consecutive breakthroughs. The remaining more than a thousand gray wolves finally collapsed and scattered into a pile of sand on the solid defense line.
But even so, they still did not choose to withdraw from the east side of the market, even though the militia surrounding the market had already left a door for them.
They dropped their weapons, raised their hands and walked out of the bunker in despair, unable to stop their superiors from shouting...
Even after finding that the scolding was useless, their commander raised his hands and walked out.
Not only was the Killing Dagger falling into silence, but even Fang Chang and Lao Bai, who were far away in the temporary command, were stunned when they heard the news from the front line.
This ace they have high hopes for...
He actually voted like this?!
