Section 478 Guidance

The king and the commanders must be made aware of what is happening here.

The reason why printing has such an important position as a milestone in history is inseparable from its role. Tartsville was very annoyed as to why there were so few literate soldiers in the entire fortress. The officers were sent out to direct the battle, and most of the guards around them were also illiterate. A single document can only be transcribed by oneself and the adjutant, and there are more than twenty copies.

As Tartsville stamped the last document with fire paint, a deafening loud noise was heard in the distance. His face turned pale, and he hurriedly rushed out of the command room, crashing into an oncoming herald. The man's face was covered with blood, and his body was covered with blood, and the whole person trembled with fright, and shouted in shock: "My lord, go and see, the eastern wall has been blown open." ”

Tartsville felt his heart sink suddenly. He didn't hesitate for a second, untied the arquebus that had been lying behind him, and ordered the adjutant in a low and hurried tone: "Gather all the people to block it, and you must hold on." ”

The adjutant nodded slightly, then turned to leave.

Tartsville stopped him again, looked solemn, and added: "Tell the soldiers that we are not alone and that reinforcements will come." ”

……

Tyranny concentrated thirty cannons to bombard the same section of the wall. "Single point attack" was a new military concept he learned from Tianhao, and the effect was also very significant, the tall and heavy fortress wall collapsed, and a gap of more than thirty meters wide appeared. The walls on the left and right sides are cracked in large areas, and the length of the gaps is more than 100 meters. Seeing this, Stormtooth ordered hundreds of shells to be poured down further at that position...... Under everyone's gaze, with the last remnants of light before the night enveloped the world, the walls east of Kamui Fortress collapsed.

"Rush in and fight them in the streets!"

Stormtooth gives the general order to attack.

The Marine Corps is desperate for time. If this fortress cannot be captured in a short time, then the entire campaign will also be a complete failure. At that time, the coalition forces of the kingdom retreating from the north followed, and the Marine Corps, which was not superior in strength, could not resist it, so they could only retreat to Leizhou City, which was temporarily built with their backs to the sea.

After all, the South is the white people who have the final say, and they can send reinforcements as soon as they receive the emergency paperwork. If the fortress is not captured in time, relying on the terrain to hold on, Tianhao's entire strategic plan will also be stillborn.

The white infantry that went out of the city to attack was exhausted. They were either killed by heavy artillery fire or honeycombed by the dense barrage of bullets. Stepping on the thick layer of corpses on the ground, the tall giant infantry began to attack. The light of the fire at night is the best guide, and the simple armor has a good bulletproof effect. Two hours later, the Marine Corps advance had stormed the central square of the fortress, and as many as 30,000 follow-up troops quickly followed, capturing towers and warehouses. They marched down the main streets, shooting and killing every alien who was significantly lower than their own height.

"Grenades!"

Shouts such as these can be heard from time to time in street fighting, followed by as many as a dozen crude grenades thrown in pieces, causing massive deaths and explosions in the darkness opposite. Many of the white soldiers were frightened, they thought it was a kind of hand-held light artillery, after all, the horrific situation of the killed and wounded comrades was too horrific, their faces and bodies were densely covered with scratches and bloody holes, and the fragments produced by the explosion were not fatal, but enough to incapacitate the wounded in a short time. Someone's eyes were blown off; Some people didn't know how to reach out and grab the crude grenade that flew over, and it was blown off by the wrist on the spot; There were also people who could not see the grenade rolling in the dark, and exploded as they ran, and the whole step was blown to shreds, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Stormtooth followed the old method used in Fangs: he ordered the light artillery to follow up with the team, and when it came across a barricade or fortification, it would bombard it directly.

"Surrender or kill!"

"Lay down your weapons now, I can spare your lives!"

"Think about your loved ones at home, especially the children. You are willing to fight here for the king and the nobles, while your wives and sisters have become their playthings. Is it worth it? ”

The propaganda team that followed up with the synchronized troops played a huge role. They were armed with tin microphones, and all members were selected soldiers with loud voices. In between the explosions and the shooting, they were not very skillful, but they were enough to make the white man on the other side understand the English shout, and exert no less power, or even more powerful, than a cannonball.

The English training of the dragon non-commissioned officers was included in the key military projects by Tianhao from the very beginning. Although this practice did cause some people to resent and even resist within the dragon clan, in the face of the absolute power controlled by the regent, all opposition voices were suppressed. Of course, he did not blindly suppress it, but used real-life examples to illustrate———— white people are ahead of us in terms of technology and civilization, and only by learning their language can we know their weaknesses.

This is by no means a foreign admiration, but a strong premise and foundation for itself. In Tianhao's words: "One day, white people will be forced by the harsh reality to learn our language." That's their only option. ”

Tartsville with a group of soldiers stood guard on the main tower in the southern part of the fortress. It was the most fortified area of the entire fortress, consisting of the main building plus the surrounding outbuildings. When the fortress was first designed, it was considered that the perimeter of the fortress might be breached, and shooting holes were opened around the main building, and there were as many as 24 gun emplacements on the upper and lower three floors. The artillery erected here is maintained at regular intervals, and there is a good stock of gunpowder and shells.

Underneath the main building is a huge warehouse. Food, water, ammunition and medicine can sustain a thousand people for about three months. The only drawback is that there is no secret passage to connect with the outside world...... In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that if you lose even the fortress and can't even hold the main building that you rely on at the end, even if the general who is the chief officer of the fortress escapes, he will definitely be burned to charred by the wrath of the kings.

Stormtooth did not rush to attack the main building, and he ordered a defensive ring to be formed in the surrounding area, separating the main building from the rest of the city. The war had basically achieved its goal at this point, and a large number of white officers and soldiers took the initiative to lay down their arms and ask for surrender because of propaganda. Watching the groups of white captives who had been disarmed and sent from the front to the towers (temporary headquarters) south of the city, he smiled with satisfaction.

Dozens of white officers were singled out. Stormtooth walked up to the nearest person, glanced at the rank of lieutenant on the other's shoulder, and said seriously, "I need some guides." ”

His English level is average, and his pronunciation is not very accurate, but it is enough to express meaning.

As soon as the words came out, the entire temporary headquarters suddenly became in an uproar.

"Holy Lord, that giant can speak our language?"

"I must be dreaming......"

"He said he needed a guide. This...... What does that mean? ”

"He doesn't want us to surrender, he wants us to do internal response, he wants us to defect."

The prisoners of war were in chaos, and many appeared to be agitated. Ignoring this, Stormtooth stood still and did not move, but raised his voice: "I believe you can all understand what I say." Again, I need a guide, and who wants to step up? I promise, as long as you are honest and obedient and obey orders, you will get everything you want. ”

Not everyone is a hero, not to mention that familiar English sounds familiar. The white lieutenant standing at close range was visibly hesitant, and several other officers also had their eyes flickering, some eager and some still thinking.

"You can't do that!" Suddenly, a loud voice broke it all.

It was a middle-aged man, and he was wearing a major uniform. Judging by the costume, he belongs to the Plantagenet Kingdom.

Tyranny stared at him condescendingly, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes: "What do you want to do?" ”

"That's what I want to ask." The Major raised his head, fearless to meet the fearsome eyes of Stormtooth: "We have surrendered. Although we hadn't dealt with each other before, we were both military. Surrender...... It doesn't mean that you have to go to the enemy and commit treason, I want to be treated as prisoners of war and not be coerced into helping you and killing more of our people. ”

These words had a great effect on the white officers, and those who were hesitating were no longer confused, and those who were in a state of vacillation quickly chose their sides. No one whispered any more, and though their eyes and faces were more or less fearful, not as strong as before.

Stormtooth raised his hand and pointed at the major standing opposite, and said coldly, "Bring him here." ”

Two attendants rushed over, snatching the major out of the crowd and dragging him to Tyrantfang. He drew his pistol and aimed the thick black muzzle directly at the major, against his forehead.

"I've laid down my arms and surrendered." A look of fear gathered on the Major's face, and he writhed desperately and began to struggle: "You can't do this, you can't ......"

The roar of the huge fire overwhelmed the unfinished words that followed him. The effect of the close-range shooting was terrifying, most of the major's head exploded on the spot, sticky brains and blood splattered everywhere, Violent Tooth deliberately bent down, grabbed a handful from the shoulder of the bloody corpse, tore off a little muscle tissue, stuffed it into his mouth in front of all the white captives and chewed it slowly.

In fact, the pig people have long since lost this barbaric and terrible habit. Since the Great Regent issued the Prohibition of Food, the concept and interest in meat have also changed. They prefer beef and lamb, including Tyrant, and the fanged pig is not unacceptable, and all of them prefer fresh fish and the worm that is peeled off the shell and fried in hot oil...... The regent is right: barbaric customs must change, and we are moving towards civilization.

Bruggy spat out the piece of meat that had been chewed a little bit out of his mouth, and with a deliberate pretense of anger, he scolded in English: "Hell, it's stinky, it's unpalatable." He's too old, it's better to be young. ”

The white lieutenant standing in front of him screamed desperately: "My lord, for the sake of the Holy Lord, please give me a chance, I am willing to be your guide." ”

Stormtooth took a step forward and looked down at the frightened poor man with interest: "Are you familiar with this fortress?" ”

"Very familiar!" The lieutenant's face was as pale as a dead man, and he nodded very quickly, like an epileptic patient: "I am familiar with every nook and cranny here, and I can go back and forth freely with my eyes closed." ”

"What's your name?" Bursttooth felt the need to learn more about it.

"Toruń!" The lieutenant clearly felt that this was his chance: "Forrester. Toruń. ”

"Alright, Mr. Toruń, it looks like you're the guide I need." Satisfied, but threatening, Stormtooth said, "I need to take this fortress as soon as possible, and not waste time on irrelevant issues." If you're willing to help, I promise...... When the battle is over, you'll get everything you want. ”

The temptation was so strong, especially the word "everything", that it stimulated the hearts of many surrenderers, including Toruń.

“…… I, I'll take you there now. Lieutenant Torun pinched his fingers hard to make sure it wasn't a dream, and his tone of voice immediately became flattering: "My lord, I know that there is a path from behind to the main tower to the east. It was remote, and it was a dead end for all firing positions in the main tower. ”

"Very good, this is the beginning of a good cooperation between us!" Stormtooth smiled and waved, and one of the attendants standing on the side thoughtfully led Toruń out of the room.

The next battle will be in charge of the captains, which is exactly why Stormtooth needs a guide.

"It's a good start to cooperation." Stormtooth walked up to the other captive and picked the man's epaulettes with his thick fingers: "Not everyone has such an opportunity. Gentlemen, you should feel lucky. Because you are officers, you know a lot more than ordinary soldiers. I need a total of twenty collaborators, and the gentleman named Toruń was smarter than you, and he got the jackpot for it. ”

Without waiting for the atmosphere in the room to relax slightly, Stormtooth continued to make a provocative voice: "I will decide the reward based on his performance." Hehe, that's what anyone dreams of. ”

As he spoke, he took out a diamond from his pocket, pinched it between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, and raised the other three fingers high, and stretched out his arm so that all the white captives could see it clearly.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations in the room.

"Holy Lord, it's the first time I've seen such a big diamond."

"It's beautiful, it's the best blue diamond."

"The diamonds in Your Majesty's crown are not so big, this thing is worth a fortune!"

Stormtooth managed to attract the attention of all white POWs. He laughed and handed the diamond to the prisoner of war standing in front of him: "You can have a good look." Just be willing to obey and do what I say, and it's yours. ”

The man took the diamond and his eyes widened, unable to believe that the treasure in his palm was real.
