The butler sighed when he heard me say this, and said, "I admit that what you said makes sense, no one will give up such an onslaught so easily. But now I just want to know how sure we are of holding off the guerrillas below. ”

I glanced at the butler and said, "That's what we're going to do." Prepare to block the next attack. After saying that, I looked at Walker and said, "How many people do you need?" The butler organized five people, including six himself. I explained in advance that I also need manpower here, and although I think the first floor may not be able to hold it in the next attack, I don't want to let the guerrillas in so easily, and I have to make them pay a considerable price. So I also need people, at least people who can be substitutes. ”

"I need at least three people." Walker said with three fingers up.

I nodded, "I'll give you four." But you have to get enough blood from the guerrillas. ”

"Haha. Isn't that what you're here to do? Walker said and looked at the butler and the other five, "Which of you goes up with me?" ”

None of the five people spoke, and they all looked at the butler in unison. The butler glanced at the five people and turned to me and said, "Moreau and I will stay down and let the other four go up." ”

I nodded in agreement, and then I said to everyone, "Hurry up and set this up now." If there are not enough sandbags, fill them with the corpses of these partisans. As he spoke, I looked at the butler and said, "Mr. Butler, please go and see who among the wounded can continue to fight." I don't need them here, I just tell them to go to the second floor and be on standby. ”

"Okay. I'm going to take a look. The butler agreed, and walked into the house.

I looked at the oil bottle, "Get all the ammo ready." Now that the people who carry the ammunition are fighting with guns, I have to prepare them in advance. ”

After I finished dragging the oil bottle, I walked up to Walker, pulled him aside and whispered, "We'll have to plan and lay out the last defenses." ”

Walker frowned at the look I looked at and said, "What? You think we're going to be finished? Didn't you just say that the guerrillas are no longer good? ”

"It's good that the guerrillas can't do it. But I also said they would continue to attack. I think that the next attack, either we all die here or the guerrillas are completely repulsed, because if the stalemate is meaningless for the guerrillas, after all, Pablo wants to come back, even if Pablo does not lead the main force to come back, at this moment the guerrillas have suffered heavy losses, and only one hundred and ten guerrillas will not be able to stand it. So the two of us had to discuss what to do. I said and looked at the courtyard, "The next guerrilla attack will not be long, it will definitely take place before dawn." That makes it easier for them to get close to the house. I'm going to resist here with all my might, trying to consume them as much as I can. When you can't hold it." I turned around and pointed to the landing on the second floor, where I'd put some people in and then pull the people who were still alive back from the sides of the hall, and as I went, you know, there's a staircase for the servants to go upstairs. I'm going to destroy the stairs here. Make it impossible for them to come up from here, and then the passage to the back staircase will slowly deplete by the time they come in, and you won't have to worry about the people who are already approaching the corridor outside the door, and you won't have to support me immediately, you have to focus on blocking the guerrillas who continue to try to enter the courtyard, and keep them out as much as possible. In this way, those who invade the house will be surrounded by us. Then they'll run after the people I've set up on both sides to retreat to the back of the house, so we can concentrate our men on their side. In other words, if they chase from the left, we attack from the right, and vice versa. It would be better if they advanced on both sides at the same time. I would concentrate on knocking one side off and then eating the rest. As long as they are consumed, I think the guerrillas will soon retreat on their own initiative. ”

Walker nodded at what I said, "You're right. But what if something goes wrong and you can't do it? ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm not going to do it very risky. Because if we can't hold on, we still have to retreat slowly, or go upstairs to make a last resistance. I just need to grasp the opportunity for a local counteroffensive after the retreat. Even if you can't block the entry of the other party's personnel well, it won't make the situation worse, and in the end it's just a fight between rooms, upstairs and downstairs. ”

"Okay. Now that you've figured it out, it's okay. I'll arrange it. I will divide the people at hand, and if it really comes to the time when you are talking about concentrating manpower and attacking locally, I will bring people myself. Walker said as he prepared to go upstairs.

I grabbed him and said, "Do you still have those shock bombs that John made?" ”

Walker nodded, "I've been preparing for a long time. Just waiting to be used when entering such a battle. ”

"Good." I patted him on the shoulder, "This can be of great use." Also, you should contact Pablo in advance and inform you of the situation here, and it would be best if you could hold this place. If you can't keep it, it's a farewell. ”

Walker listened to me and nodded, turning and heading upstairs. The four men who had been added to him followed him upstairs.

I looked inside the compound, where the guerrillas had not yet shown any signs of organizing another attack after being beaten back, and it was quiet outside, as if they had completely retreated.

The people in the house were busy cleaning up the battlefield. Pack up the sandbags that were scattered by the explosion and pile them back up that are still usable. There were about 20 corpses of the guerrillas left in the house, and they unloaded all the weapons and ammunition from their bodies, and then used their corpses to plug some holes and gaps in doors and windows. The weapons and ammunition that were unloaded were quickly divided by everyone, leaving those who could use them and discarding all those who could not use them.

A moment later, the butler came over with four men. There are two people I know well, one is Paro and the other is Fabry. The butler pointed to the four of them: "There are only four of them who can fight with injuries." Moreover, Fabry's situation was very reluctant, and it was he himself who asked to continue fighting with the guerrillas. ”

I nodded, looked at Fabry and said, "I know your injuries. Let's go and rest. ”

Fabry shook his head and said, "I don't want to lie there and wait for the guerrillas to rush in and die. I still have a gun to make me feel better. ”

"Alright! Then you go upstairs in a moment. Walker will arrange for you. The location is relatively fixed, which gives you more opportunities to shoot at the guerrillas. I looked at Paro and said, "What about you?" No problem? ”

"No problem, sir. I was blown out before, and now it's fine. Paro patted his chest and said.

"Good. You'll still follow me for a while. I looked at the other two, who were supposed to belong to the guards, judging by their outfits, "Give them both Walker." ”

After allocating the manpower, I gathered all the existing people and began to set up the defenses. These were twelve people, including the man who added to my butler and the man named Morrow, and the returning Paro plus myself. I first pointed to the window on the left side of the door and said, "Mr. Butler, you and Morrow are in charge of the defense. ”

"Okay. No problem. The butler nodded in agreement.

"Quinn and I are in charge of the door here. The window on the right, where you and Paro are in charge of dragging the oil bottles. I looked at everyone and said, "Now I'm going to divide you into two groups. Because the guerrillas will attack fiercely, I plan to have the two groups retreat to the sides of the house when they can't stand it, and then Walker will blow up the stairs here and force the guerrillas to pursue the two groups of us. When they chased us in, we fought and retreated, and walked in the direction of the stairs at the back of the house, and as long as we were in a stalemate with them, we had a back-up against them. After I finished speaking, I looked at the oil bottle and said, "You and Quinn, Mr. Butler, and Morrow and I are on the same team." We go back from the left. Then I looked at Paro, "The other team is made up of the rest of the people you lead. If you die halfway through and drag the oil bottle, you go to their team to lead the team. If I die, you will lead the team, Mr. Butler. ”

"And what if we all die?" Drag the oil bottle asked inappropriately.

I slapped him on the head and said, "If they're all dead, we don't have to worry about it, let's see you in hell." After I finished speaking, I thought for a while and said, "Although the situation he said will basically not happen, if the few people I just said are all killed or wounded, then immediately go to someone and let Walker take over all the command." ”

When everyone heard me say this, they all nodded heavily in understanding. I looked at the oil bottle and said, "Go talk to Walker about my arrangements here, and ask him for some shock bombs." With that, I looked at the others, "Let's take their places." Those who were not scheduled were on standby in the back. Everyone took advantage of the fact that the guerrillas had not yet attacked, and seized the time to rest, drink more water and eat less. ”

When everything was arranged, everyone began to go into a state of rest. There was still no major movement on the part of the guerrillas, so I turned to the butler and said, "How long is it going to be daylight?" ”

The butler looked at the space outside, "It will be about three hours before the sky will gradually light up." ”

I nodded and didn't speak, this may be the last battle of the defense. The less the guerrillas rushed to attack, the more they showed that they were ready to fight to the last of their strength. I looked around and wondered how many people would make it out of here alive.
