Chapter 133: The Siege
Large rockfalls fell to the ground, and the whole church screamed again and again, and a second explosion followed, and a huge gap was punched in the walls of the entire church.
The man who had just gone out to dispose of the corpse ran into the arch of the church with a frightened face, but before he could set foot on the brick, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground, and there were several more holes in his body that were bleeding.
It was a large-scale attack, and it was completely different from the previous petty fights.
Yu Zhe's heart was desperate at this moment, all the time combined, this was only the fourth day he had arrived in country Y, and he had already caught up with three explosions, and it was in a completely different situation.
The priest remained calm, standing in the middle of the courtyard while dodging the falling rocks, directing the panicked crowd to evacuate, but fortunately, only the bell tower and utility room of the church were left that had just been blown up, and no one should have been there at this time, so there were no casualties.
Most of the women and children who fled in the direction the priest pointed out, all of them hid as fast as they could into the church hall where they had just prayed.
Even though there is infinite fear in the heart, everyone is in order, the young are humble and the old, the healthy help the injured, and there is no selfish person at all, such a sight has never been seen in the city.
Not only were there people evacuated, but all the soldiers who were recuperating in the church, who could hold guns and walk, all ran towards the small house near the arched gate of the church, and ran out to fight the "foreign enemy" with the soldiers who came out of the better condition.
"Mr. Yu, please hurry up and take refuge. ”
In less than a few minutes, the entire church basically ran into the church, and the priest turned around and ran back to the door of the church and said to Yu Zhe.
"No need, is there anything I can do to help?" Yu Zhe originally thought that more things were better than less, but looking at all the people who took refuge, either old and young, women and children, or the wounded who couldn't even stand up, a sturdy man like him went in and hid, and he always felt that his face was a little unbearable.
"God will bless you!" the priest took Yu Zhe's hand and said gratefully, "Then please help us save the wounded!"
Yu Zhe agreed, but he didn't know what to do for the time being, so he had to follow the priest behind him and follow him into the church to check the situation.
In the church, Yu Zhe was surprised to find that there was a hidden secret passage hidden under the white marble fireplace, and the nuns were guiding the crowd into it in an orderly manner.
I asked the priest to find out that because this place is often attacked, the church has specially built an underground fortress, which stores enough food and water to feed hundreds of people for one to two months, as well as enough medicine and warmth, and another exit of the secret passage leads directly to a small village and town a few hundred meters away, so that no matter what happens, the safety of the people in the church can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
When everyone had entered the passage, the nun was divided into two parts, a small part of which followed the crowd, and the entrance was closed from the inside, and the fireplace returned to its original state, without any unusual appearance at all.
The other part gathered towards the priest, lined up in a row, recited a prayer in unison, and then rushed out the door with the priest.
The battle outside the church can be said to be very tragic, the fighting has not stopped for more than ten minutes, and from time to time there will be people who have been shot, and they have a painful expression and retreat from the battle line, looking hopeless, but the priests and nuns still do not give up, carry the wounded into the courtyard, and begin to treat their injuries.
Yu Zhe naturally joined in, and with the strength of one person, he could pick up the wounded, and the efficiency of rescue increased.
The number of wounded increased, and the staff of the church became strained, and the whole courtyard became covered with blood and moans.
However, the gunfire outside the wall gradually weakened, until a few minutes later, it finally stopped completely.
Sure enough, in fact, the battle situation on both sides was about the same, and the other side was also injured a lot in a short period of time, and now it is taking a short rest.
The priest knew that the fight was not an option, the other side was now the attacker and had surrounded the church, and the temporary stop was only to call for reinforcements to replenish the troops, and the guards on their side would be wiped out sooner or later, so they had to leave from the other side of the secret passage as soon as possible.
So, the nuns were called, all the wounded were erected and the entrance to the secret passage was reopened, and only a few people outside the church volunteered to stay behind in order to confuse each other.
Yu Zhe helped the two wounded into the underground fortress, but it was really as the priest said, the space was huge, and the reserves were all available, but the power system here was not perfect, and the lights felt flickering and dimming.
Things went very smoothly so far, and after settling the wounded for the time being, the priest opened the door to the secret passage on the side of the village, but to be on the safe side, he still told everyone to stay where they were, and let him go to the exit to check the situation first.
Yu Zhe naturally followed, he didn't know if he didn't see it, it turned out that at the exit of the secret passage, the enemy had already squatted here and waited for the rabbit, waiting for the people in the church to evacuate, and then killing everyone
The situation suddenly fell into a crisis, at this time the enemy was completely surrounded, and the only way was to break through.
But back on the ground, the priest counted less than a hundred of the people who were still alive and combat-ready, and the other side seemed to have replenished their forces in time, and did not know when they would attack again.
Yu Zhe sighed, the matter has come to this, he can't sit back and watch it any longer, the defeat on the church's side is a matter of time, if he can't do his part now to try to change the situation of the battle, it will be difficult for him to get out in the end.
"Father, do you have any extra weapons, please let me go to the battlefield to help!" he said in a firm tone.
"Of course, but don't force it, we're grateful that you can stay up there and help. The priest didn't know the details of Yu Zhe, but he heard the abridged version of the story from Chloe
"It's okay, I'll ......" Yu Zhe originally wanted to explain something, but after thinking about it, it was useless to say more, so it was better to directly implement it in action, so he followed the direction that the priest said to find a suitable weapon.
Opening the reserve, Yu Zhe was surprised to find that the church stored more weapons than he imagined, it was comparable to a small arsenal, which touched his knowledge blind spot, whether all churches were configured like this, or just like this.
Yu Zhe carefully selected, and sure enough, most of them were still firearms, and it seemed that in consideration of the firepower problem, most of the weapons in reserve were submachine guns, and even pistols were very few, which was really bad for him as a person who was good at using cold weapons.
But there is no way to do this, Yu Zhe can only choose the weapons that he can use, he knows only a little about the pistol, not to mention these things that he has never even seen.
In the end, he locked onto a crossbow, which was relatively easy to fire and quite powerful, but he didn't know if such a weapon would be able to exert its due power when put on the battle line
If I can go back alive, it seems that I have to find a way to learn firearms......
Yu Zhe thought in his heart, if he had the opportunity to learn in the first place, he would not have fallen into such a situation now.
It was useless to regret it, and he had no way to change the past, so he had to go to the battlefield head-on.
The enemy did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but seemed to enjoy watching the people in the church "stubbornly resist", launching attacks every other hour or half an hour, trying to slowly wear down the besieged people.
Yu Zhe continued to attack the crowd on the opposite side, but he didn't know whether he hit it or not, he had heard of the war and watched the war, but only when he really participated in the war, did he find that it felt completely different.
Sure enough, it is not that people who have killed people are capable of going to war.
Even if he finally overcame the obstacle in his heart, he didn't know anything about tactics at all, from the moment he walked up to the battle line with a crossbow, the soldiers around him had already cast strange glances at him, someone seemed to be saying something, but he couldn't understand it, and the other party could only shut up and stop talking.
Before he knew it, the church had survived the sixth round of attack, and the time was gradually approaching evening, Yu Zhe only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and the huge psychological pressure was even greater than when he killed people for the first time.
It was not a good thing that the sky was getting darker, and the other party began to be satisfied with just attacking from a distance, taking advantage of the dim light, and began to slowly move the battle line forward.
Suddenly, there was a scream from a nun in the courtyard, followed by a dense burst of gunfire, which came so suddenly that the soldiers on the front were taken aback
Yu Zhe knew that something was wrong, and several soldiers on the front hurriedly retreated to the church compound, and found that while they were resisting fire, a group of people came from the side, climbed into the high walls of the church, and carried out the massacre.
The corpses in the courtyard were stacked, and the soldiers who had barely survived the battle line were completely lifeless at this time, and they were lying on top of the nuns who still insisted on staying, and in the face of the sudden attack, there was no room for resistance, and some of them had not even screamed out, and they had already been pierced through the heart by bullets.
There were three people in that group, and they killed a dozen people in less than a minute, which made their faces show a kind of bloodthirsty madness, and when they saw someone retreating from the battle line, they were not afraid, but showed a trace of excitement.
Without saying a word, the three of them directly picked up the submachine guns in their hands and fired a burst of fire, and the other soldiers scattered to find cover to prevent injury.
But Yu Zhe was just smiling faintly in his heart, in fact, he had already thought of countermeasures when he saw this group of invaders.
Since he is not good at firearms, melee combat is always his strong point.
So
How is it possible!
