Chapter Fifty-Eight: Breaking the City

The scorching air continued to lap against the Western Expeditionary Army stationed in the houses along the city walls. It is true that the huge walls of the boulders are extremely strong, but they are still not strong compared to the continuous flat fire of the cannons.

During the Anti-Japanese War, some city walls built since the Ming Dynasty could always withstand the bombardment of firearms such as Type 92 infantry guns, Type 38 75mm field guns, and Type 91 field guns. The wall of Piexiano in front of him was not much less solid than that of an ancient city such as Daimyo Castle, and it took a little effort for the two Wujiu, who still used 100mm rifled guns, to blast a gap in the wall in the northeast corner that was not yet fully transparent.

"Half of the city wall at four o'clock in the A waist has been broken, please instruct the headquarters!"

"This is Command. Your troops continue to approach the base of the wall, covering the advance of friendly forces! ”

"Yes!" The pure Beijing Mandarin, coupled with the categorical response, made everyone in the command headquarters feel extra relieved.

Aerial photographs and sand tables of the city of Pieciano have long since broken down the area according to the division of A-O0-14. In this way, whether the attack is blocked or the cell has been cleaned, the command post and the field commander do not have to spend too much time fumbling around the map for half a day.

Staff Officer Li calmly lit a cigarette. At this time, it was eight o'clock in the morning of 11 August, and the black-covered commandos and the anti-chemical warfare soldiers carrying dangerous cylinders on their backs were quickly climbing up the city wall along the gap formed by the collapse.

The Elta soldiers on the city wall had already fled off the road in fright by the explosion, and saw that hundreds of people and horses had safely climbed the city wall, and were advancing along the wall path to the second line, and 59, who had been pressed to the base of the wall, turned around and fell out a long way.

"One more shot!" Inside the equally hot turret, the shirtless loader twisted his back and turned around to quickly load a grenade into the chamber.

"All units are far away from the four city wall sections of the A waist!" The commander almost shouted this sentence over the radio. However, he had already seen the flash of the anti-chemical warfare cylinder a few hundred meters away, and there was no one in this gap in front of him.

The grenade hit the last section of the wall with precision in a piercing arc. It would have been nice if the inner lining of the walls had been made of compacted earth, but unfortunately the interior of the walls of Piexiano was also made of stone bricks......

The soil absorbed the blast of the grenade and violently transmitted the force to the stone bricks behind. Stone bricks, which had lost their attachment, flew out violently - and the good grenades became "armor fragments".

Stones were thrown like shattered armor linings, smashing the houses behind the walls to the ground.

A stone flew into the window of the stone wall, smashing the carpenter's painstakingly thin-planked window, and splashing the back of the Kunesaf squad leader.

"It's dangerous! God bless me...... "Kunesaf couldn't bother to wipe the sawdust off the steel armor behind him, even if he wanted to, he couldn't move - his tinnitus didn't stop, and he kept sifting the chaff. If he hadn't subconsciously lowered his head just now, he would have been smashed by the boulder and separated, and blood would have been spattered on the spot.

The walls have been opened. All the guns in Wujiu's body moved forward together, the black smoke of diesel fuel became clearer and clearer in the dispersed earth and stones, and the power of the diesel engine drove the crawler to grab the dirt again and drive forward.

On the road under the wall, there are monsters that have not been seen in the 100 years since the city was founded.

The bulldozer blade in front of the monster slashed through the blackened remnants of wooden frames, dirt, and gravel on the ground. Immediately afterwards, the machine gun with the shield was strafed by the commander at a constant height at the stone house in front of him, and several brave enemy soldiers who were still hiding behind the window panels immediately fell to the ground. these

Kunesaf didn't have time to get up at the gunshot, and he didn't dare to get up after the pop knocked off a few stones on the windowsill. In the past, the shield spearmen, who regarded the Elta people as dirt chickens and dogs, held their heads and buried their faces on the carpet on their stomachs.

He didn't resist until the people who broke into the door pulled him by the hair, blindfolded him, and tied his hands behind his back. Faintly, he also heard the soldier who escorted him laughing:

"Who gave him a pair of pants? The feces and urine are all flowing out, and it stinks! ”

"The four entrances of the A waist have been secured!" While the commander proudly reported the results of the battle, the two columns of soldiers continued to silently carry steel guns and burst into the torn city wall.

This news could not make waves in the command post -- the reason why it was called a command post was because the siege operation was not a single-line operation, otherwise the officers and staff officers of the battalion headquarters could have followed up and commanded directly on the front line.

The commandos and anti-chemical warfare troops on the other side had already run to the 6th line due east, and along the way, the commandos' shotguns and the submachine guns of the anti-chemical warfare troops opened alternately, and several shield swordsmen hiding behind the wall and ordnance had no time to rush out of the cover for one life after another, and they were beaten into honeycomb coal by dense firepower. As for the magic archers, they were going to shoot at the city and they didn't have time to adapt to the situation, and they died before they could draw their bows or just stretch out half of their bodies.

The walls were cleared, and there were already trucks bringing planks underneath. Everyone hoisted the wooden planks upstairs at A6, and immediately prepared to start a "leapfrog" attack on the houses in the city from here.

Originally, the city of Piexiano had a certain distance between the walls and the buildings in the city. The barbarians are good at rope climbing and jumping, and the Elta themselves are afraid of losing the wall, if the barbarians can only obediently come down from the wall, then it is still possible to block them in the path to the root of the wall. These creatures, who are jumping like antelopes in the mountains and on the other side of the mountains in the west, will probably only be more comfortable in the city of Pieciano.

I have to say that the sages of Elta were quite predictable. If this policy is strictly enforced, the commandos and anti-chemical warfare troops will have to go up the first building first.

However, during the reign of Charles, due to his repeated expeditions into the mountains, the barbarians were barely able to launch a powerful attack on Sielta. As a result, while the western part of the city was able to strictly comply with this construction rule, the buildings in the eastern part of the city had already advanced several meters to varying degrees. The most even one of them was almost the same height as the city walls, and the distance between the two ends was only ten meters at most.

On the other side, the wooden planks with non-slip styrofoam were put together and placed on the opposite side. The daring and careful Elta Native Commandos were the first to take the battle, stepping into the Sky Garden on the opposite side with three steps and two steps with a safety rope.

This should be the courtyard of a wealthy or wealthy person in a certain city. This can also be understood why he has the energy to treat the "holy decree" as if it were nothing—the problem of poor execution by grassroots organs is already common in Elta. The building is backed by the city wall, and it is almost regarded as the most stable "backrest of the Taishi chair".

"Lord Priest," the people in the building were not blind, they knew exactly what the men in black armor on the city walls were doing. "Does it really matter?"

"It's even worse for them to burst in through the main entrance." The priest sat in a chair in the corner of the room, triumphantly listening to the frightened voices of the soldiers who regarded him as a wise man. "They're going to come down from the top and think they're just smart."

The native soldier was the first to pass and quickly tied the other end of the safety rope to the wooden post in the garden. Immediately afterwards, the commandos and chemical defense soldiers with sliding buckles on their belts easily reached the top of the garden at a speed one at a time.

The door to the top of the garden is a wooden door that opens outward. You don't even have to think about the stairs or the vertical down corridor, and you don't even have to think about it to know that there will be traps waiting for them at the bottom. As for breaking the goal, that's the next step. Just break down the wooden floor next to the door.

Of course, the Elta Army is humane. Before they began to dig holes and deflate, some commandos turned on the big electric horn in their hands.

"This is the Elta Army, don't be fearless resistance to the people in the house, come out of the house with your hands crossed, we will protect your life, otherwise please don't say that we haven't been reminded. This is Elta......"

Three times. The loud announcement echoed through the air three times, and the commandos and chemical defense soldiers could feel the creatures shivering in fear in the room beneath their feet.

"No one." The disappointment of the people on the roof turned into excitement in an instant. "Damn, let's leave him alone, let them suffocate inside!"

At that moment, some of the anti-chemical warfare soldiers took out small sapper hoes, and none of them with pig-nosed masks could recognize who was who. Filling the room with green gas only requires a small hole.

"Start deflating!"

Next, the hose of the green gas cylinder itself is a green gas-resistant rubber, and the air tightness test was carried out in advance just in case. The hands of the valve began to turn, and the chemical defense soldiers next to them began to look at their watches - if the fools at the bottom did not know how to open the door, then their lives had already begun to count down.

"Huh......?" The priest held his wand and stood in front of the stairs at a loss. Just now he heard the sound of the door chiseling, and he hurriedly went up to the third floor to take a look.

There was no eye on the wooden door, and there was no sign of it being opened. The magic circle placed on the staircase was not triggered at all.

"Oh no!" The priest jumped up as if he had realized something. "Meracia, and you, and you and you, all separate into the rooms!"

However, the pungent smell has spread, and the nasal mucosa is very sensitive to the perception of green gas.

"Ahh "Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The priest's command didn't do anything, and all that came to everyone's mind was to run wildly where there was no pungent smell.

Merasia ran into the room where the yellow-green gas was coming from, while most of the people ran in the direction they came from, downstairs, and others into other rooms, but those who came downstairs could clearly feel that their nasal passages were no longer so irritating.

Before the people who had gone down to the first floor had time to rejoice, they were horrified to find that the cough of the Melasia upstairs had gone from mild to rapid to waned and then disappeared, and then the others had lost their voices—all in about five minutes

"Open the window!" The priest, who felt the discomfort in his nose again, hurriedly ordered. He had forgotten who had ordered the window to be nailed to the inside in the first place, only his instincts told him that Meracia was dead, and that if he didn't open the window, he would be the next Meracia.
