Chapter 67: Siege
For example, the walls of the city around the summer, under the reconnaissance of the various teams of mecha warriors, there was no attack of demon beasts, and a night passed peacefully.
But this calm unstruck everyone, like the last quiet before a storm.
The year 2561 of the Seven Islands, January 1, early morning.
"Tick tock!"
The overcast sky, with a sudden drizzle, hit the dense crowd below.
"It's raining!"
Nangong Yuchen and a group of mecha warriors have all gathered at the gate to the east, and more than 20 people have not slept all night, and now the cold rain is hitting their bodies, making the group sleepy.
"The residents of Area B and Area D have arrived one after another, and I don't know where Area A and Area E are now!" Nangong Yuchen stood on top of the city wall, looking at the dense residents who were all over the mountains below, and said with some worry.
"I heard that it's almost in Area C, and I should be able to get here at noon today!" Sikong Wei replied.
At this moment, a helicopter flew from the city and landed on the city wall.
"Buzz!"
The door opened, and I saw Major Dui Yan, as well as Xiao Ran and other four high-level executives, walking out of the helicopter.
"Major, Captain!" Nangong Yuchen and a group of mecha warriors hurriedly made a military salute.
"Hmm!" Twilight Yan and the others nodded, then came to the edge of the city, looked at the residents below who were already flooded, and commanded, "Open the steel gate!" ”
"Boom!" The soldiers below were ordered to open the gate to the east.
The steel gate, which was more than ten meters high, slowly opened, and at this time, Dusk Yan ordered again: "The Tenth Legion, the first and second teams of two thousand soldiers took the lead out of the city and led the residents to evacuate to the east, and the third and fourth teams escorted on the left, and the fifth or sixth teams escorted on the right!" ”
"Yes! Major! ”
"Stomp, stomp!" After receiving the order, 6,000 soldiers from the 6th Regiments of the 10th Regiment of the 3rd District, including Qinghu and Luoting, including the towns of Qinghu and Luoting, were escorted into a queue, and after quickly gathering together, they walked towards the outside of the city.
Looking at the fully equipped and armoured chariots below, with all kinds of guns and slowly moving armored chariots, Twilight Ling said with some confusion, "Father, don't you wait for the mayor and the other residents and soldiers in the area?" ”
Hearing him ask like this, Nangong Yuchen, Sikong Wei and other twenty people next to him also looked at Dui Yan with puzzled expressions.
Although all the way to the east, you may not encounter the demon beast army that invades from the northwest, but there are many demon beast groups outside the city, how can this soldier in front of you protect these hundreds of thousands of residents?
Twilight Rock knew the worries in their hearts, so he explained, "Although we won yesterday afternoon, those two demon beast armies will definitely invade again, plus it's raining now, the lieutenant colonel is a little worried, so let the residents of the third district of BCD and the two towns evacuate first!" ”
Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "What's more, there are more than 700,000 residents gathered here, if you don't start evacuating from the city now, and when all the residents of the last two districts gather together, I'm afraid it will take half a day to get out of the city!" So now start evacuating, and after all the soldiers and civilians leave the city, it is estimated that the residents of the last two districts will almost arrive! ”
"Half a day? Is it so slow? ”
The crowd was a little unconvinced, and when they wanted to say something, they saw the residents below under the leadership of the soldiers, and began to slowly leave the city.
The city gate that is nearly seven or eight meters wide, in order to prevent congestion, can only accommodate more than a dozen people side by side, and the speed of the residents' evacuation is far from being comparable to that of the soldiers, which can be described as slow, but this does not speed up, after all, there is a dense team that does not see the tail, if someone falls, I am afraid that there will be a stampede, Nangong Yuchen and his party suddenly understood, what Dui Yan meant just now.
Indeed, at this rate and number, it will take at least two hours for all 700,000 inhabitants to leave the city!
"The team of mechwarriors of the Seventh Legion obeys orders!" That's when Twilight spoke again.
"Here! Major! ”
"Order you to go out of the city with Captain Xiao Ran to protect the soldiers and residents!"
"Yes!"
Ten people jumped down from the city wall, followed by the two thousand soldiers who opened the way at the front, and along with them, Xiao Ran and other three high-level second-order mecha warriors.
Seeing them leave, Dusk Yan looked at Nangong Yuchen and the others again, and ordered, "You fourteen people are divided into two teams, continue to investigate, and when Major Shangguan arrives, I will arrange it for you!" ”
"It's the Major!"
In this way, Nangong Yuchen's fourteen people were divided into two teams, of which their team and the Duling team, plus Gao Xinyu, Xiao Quan's four and Li Ning's three were another team.
As they did last night, they followed the city wall, one south and one north. Twilight Rock stood on top of the city wall and arranged for the residents to evacuate.
Fortunately, the rain did not get heavier, otherwise it would have made evacuation much more difficult.
Unconsciously, more than two hours passed, and the evacuation of more than 700,000 residents from the city was nearing the end, and at this time, the soldiers of various legions guarding the other three city gates rushed over one after another, leaving only the mecha warriors still guarding the city walls.
Along with this, Shangguan Yufeng and other high-level officials, among which Shangguan Youran and Shangguan Yueling sisters were also there, but the eyes of the two girls were a little red, and I don't know if it was caused by not resting all night or crying.
"Luo Xin, gather the team of special students!"
"Yes!" After Shangguan Luohua replied, he took out the communication device and began to contact Nangong Yuchen and the others.
"Twilight, inform all the soldiers of the Legion to prepare ponchos and distribute them to the residents!" Shangguan Yufeng continued to order.
"Yes!"
After finishing the order, Shangguan Yufeng looked at the old captain Sikong behind him and asked, "Sikong, there is no problem with our food and supplies, right?" ”
"Lieutenant Colonel, please rest assured, I have already divided the supplies and food into three batches, one of which has been transported out of the city with 700,000 residents, and one of the remaining two groups of residents of the two AE districts, as well as the Tenth Legion, and the soldiers of the Eighth and Ninth Teams!"
"Hmm!" This time, Shangguan Yufeng nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Notify the legions escorting the residents of the two AE districts and ask them to speed up, otherwise the rain will get heavier and heavier, and the road in the valley will be difficult to walk by then!" ”
"Yes!"
A few minutes later, just as Shangguan Yufeng was making various arrangements, the fourteen people of Nangong Yuchen returned separately, all gathered on the wall of the Gate to the East.
"Leisurely, the Moon Spirit is back!"
Shangguan Luohua ordered.
The two girls nodded and returned to the team of special students, so that all sixteen special students were assembled and stood by here.
At this time, the misty drizzle falling from the sky began to gradually become larger, turning into raindrops, dripping down, hitting the high-ranking officers and special students on the city wall.
Unlike the soldiers below, they did not put on their ponchos, and just stood in the rain, waiting for the arrival of the last inhabitants.
Soon an hour passed, and everyone was still soaked, and the rain ran down their cheeks and hair, but they didn't care, with Shangguan Yufeng and other high-level officials, standing on the city wall, looking at the valley of the clear lake.
"It's coming!"
Finally, in their line of sight, a long line of residents of the two AE districts appeared.
As the team moved forward, getting closer and closer, and when they were about to reach the gate to the east, the communication instrument in Shangguan Yufeng's space-time ring lit up.
Not only him, but also Dusk Yan and Shangguan Luohua's time and space rings were all shining at this moment.
The three of them hurriedly took out the communication device, clicked out the virtual page, and the video was connected!
This is the figure of guarding the gate to the west, the gate to the south, and the gate to the north, as well as Captain Xiao Ran and others!
"Oh no, Lieutenant Colonel, we are twenty miles away from the gate to the east, and we have encountered an army of demon beasts!"
"Major Twilight Rock is not good! A large army of monsters has been found at the Gate to the West! ”
"Oh no, Major Shangguan, I found a large army of demon beasts at the Gate to the North!"
"Lieutenant Colonel! Discover a large army of monsters at the South Gate! ”
