In the face of the frenzied artillery fire, more than 100 rebel soldiers desperately found ten artillery pieces, but lost half of them on the way back, and finally reached only five near the city gate.

"Fried! Bang it out for me! "The temporary commander is already red-eyed, it's hard to say how many people are still alive in Xuchang now, but as long as this city gate can't be opened, it will be a matter of time before the whole city becomes a dead city.

The soldiers were already anxious like ants on a hot pot, as long as they didn't lack hands and feet, all of them rushed up to help, and a few people were seriously injured in the stomach, and the intestines inside were flowing out, so they just tied a knot and stuffed it back, and then continued to carry the shells.

Soon, with the concerted efforts of the soldiers, five artillery pieces bombarded the city gate at the highest rate of fire, shaking and trembling, and the debris flew, at first the shells could only make dents in the thousand-ton iron gate, and slowly, the structure of the iron gate was loosened and peeled off layer by layer.

The process was short, less than a few minutes, but for the soldiers and civilians near the gates, it was a long time that had never been seen before.

When the iron gate was finally shattered by artillery, the civilians who had escaped from the fire erupted in desperate cheers and scrambled to flee out of the city.

A rebel soldier subconsciously wanted to flee together, but was knocked to the ground by a punch from the commander, and an angry roar followed: "Get out of your post!" Let the people go first! ”

In this way, all the soldiers made way for the civilians to pass first, and they maintained order in the neighborhood while helping some elderly people with limited mobility.

At the front of the line, a man was fleeing with a five-year-old girl in his arms, the city was full of fire, the outside of the city was empty, the only iron barrier that hindered the escape had been shattered, and he could almost see the dawn of hope in front of him.

In the offensive and defensive battle, this man's wife has been blown into mash under the shelling of begonias, even though he is grief-stricken, but he still cheers up, because he still has a person who can't let go, even if he fights for this life, he will send his daughter out, this child is only six years old, and he should have a better future, instead of being buried in the fire!

The moment the man rushed out of the city gate, the heat that had surrounded him suddenly disappeared, replaced by a breath of fresh air, and this man who had lived in the city for a long time may never have imagined that the air in the wilderness would be so refreshing.

However, just when many complex emotions such as sadness, joy, gloom, and hope were mixed, making the man want to hold his daughter and cry bitterly for the rest of his life, the scene in front of him made him freeze in place.

Outside the city... Someone is already waiting here!

It was a group of troops who were heavily armed and ready for battle, only less than 500 meters from the city gates, and even though the red flags were horizontal, it could be seen from the military uniforms that they did not belong to the northern rebels, but the Republican Hui troops who launched this attack...

The civilians who escaped were just like the man, and they had not had time to celebrate before they discovered a chilling sight, and these republicans probably never imagined that they would one day be so afraid of the Red Flag.

The close Republican Hui force was extremely large, they took advantage of the gap between the previous fire strikes to quietly advance, and had formed an impermeable encirclement at the exit of the city gate of Xuchang, blocked by tanks, sappers erected a heavy machine gun every five meters, all soldiers were no longer lightly armed, ammunition packs were loaded with a large amount of ammunition for inclination, and their fingers had been placed on the trigger.

There was only the whistling sound of begonias overhead, and the civilians who fled from Xuchang were in dead silence, trembling and frightened at this once familiar force, at the front of the team, the man's legs kept trembling, and he didn't know if it was because of despair or fear, tears had already flowed out of his eyes.

The man walked forward slowly, and he didn't know how long he walked, and finally came to a distance where he could talk to the soldiers of the Republic, his face was already full of tears, and he slowly handed out his daughter with a blank face in his arms, and begged with tears in his eyes: "Please don't hurt my daughter... Please... She's me... The only hope..."

The man cried, and the soldiers of the Radiance of the Republic were not the same, the first few soldiers were already crying, the hands holding the guns were trembling, and the soldiers who were strong enough to hold back their tears were also bloodshot, and the bitten lips soon burst into blood, helpless and vicissitudes.

The commander of this vanguard of the Radiance of the Republic did not cry originally, because he was the commander, and if he cried, the morale and determination of the entire army would be shaken, which was a taboo that must not be committed.

But when he heard the man's pleading words, the commander could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, he covered his face and cried, and finally fell to his knees with a pop, kowtowed to the man, knocked his head into a blur, and cried in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"Dad... Why did Uncle Soldier apologize to us? In the man's arms, the young daughter innocently poked her head out, looked at her father with those immaculate eyes, and asked in a low voice.

However, the man's answer did not come, or it was too late, and the commander, who knelt on the ground and kowtowed and wept, hissed and gave a cruel order: "Fire!! ”

The vanguard troops of the Republican Glory opened fire, and the bullets that poured wildly were intertwined into an impenetrable network of firepower, crushing every life that escaped from Xuchang without any favoritism, regardless of military and civilian, good or evil.

Waves of blood rose in patches, civilians fell like dominoes, desperate cries continued, some because of the loss of parents, some because of the loss of children, or other reasons, but the owners of these cries did not cry for long, and were quickly torn apart by the incoming bullets, and the blood stained Xuchang.

At this moment, there is no suspense in attack and defense, and the forward team of the Glory of the Republic received a death order from Leng Kite: indiscriminately eliminate any life that escapes from Xuchang, men, women and children are treated equally, kill!

The desperate civilians knew that they would die if they left the city, and they retreated back into the city, but they soon found that it was just a different way of dying, like the game of death, and they were burned to death by fire when they retreated, and they were killed by bullets when they moved forward, and they could not escape the reality of death no matter what.

Because it was so painful to burn to death, some disheartened civilians even ran out of the city like walking dead, preferring to get a happy death.

Others tried to hide in the basements or potholes of their houses, but the flaming napalm frantically drained the city of oxygen, and these people, if not burned to death, eventually died of painful hypoxic suffocation.

The fire burned for a day and a night, the shelling lasted for a day and a night, the gunfire of the soldiers of the vanguard team barely stopped, and after twenty-four hours, there was no one left in Xuchang...

...
