The next day came quickly, only a small force outside Huangsha City was still resisting, and their actions were basically in vain, without causing losses to Lin Xiao's troops, to the point of adding a lot of military merits to them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fighting all the way, the line infantry regiment came directly to the outskirts of Huangsha City, where the walls were much higher than those nearby small towns.

One by one, the soldiers of Middle-earth hid behind the city walls, shooting a rain of arrows from time to time to defend themselves.

With an ordinary attack, it was difficult to break through the walls of Huangsha City, and Lin Xiao was not so anxious to capture Huangsha City.

As far as he knew, Kinoshita City, which was the closest to Huangsha City, was also hundreds of kilometers, and more importantly, the traffic between the two sides was not very good.

If Kinoshita City wants to send troops to support Huangsha City, it will take at least 1 month to arrive, which is enough time for Lin Xiao to capture Huangsha City.

He directly ordered most of the artillery to be transferred over, and launched a fierce bombardment of Huangsha City, eliminating the living forces of Huangchuan City as much as possible.

After 2 days, the soldiers of Huangsha City finally insisted on not holding out, and the shelling of these 2 days was a nightmare for them.

The tall walls of Huangsha City have been smashed to pieces, and no one dares to clean up the corpses on them, so you can imagine how much pressure these soldiers are under.

Since the city wall was no longer able to be defended, the defending generals of Huangsha City had no choice but to retreat their soldiers and start street fighting.

This is very disadvantageous to the line infantry regiments, they have no way to spread their forces, and they are afraid that a forced attack will pay a lot of price.

Lin Xiao could only send out the recruited Gray Men Legion first, and launched an attack together with the cloned cold weapon soldiers.

Although their combat effectiveness is not as strong as that of the line infantry regiment, the soldiers of Huangsha City are already close to collapse, and they have been bombarded for so long, and their morale is low, and it is difficult to exert any combat effectiveness.

But it's not so easy to take them down, these soldiers are the last elite of Huangsha City, plus these feudal nobles carry out demonic propaganda against Lin Xiao's troops, they basically believe that if they surrender, not only will they be executed, but even their families will be implicated.

This is also the result of the feudal nobles deliberately blocking the news, these soldiers have been stationed in Huangsha City for a long time and have never left, and they are not very clear about the news outside.

If it had been replaced by soldiers who went out to fight to defend Huangsha City, I am afraid that they would have surrendered a few days ago.

These soldiers put up desperate resistance and inflicted considerable losses on the attacking troops, but they were still defeated and retreated.

Having already occupied the favorable terrain, the line infantry regiments outside also took part in the battle, firing mercilessly at these still resisting enemies!

Even so, the battle was stalemate, and when it attacked the hinterland of Huangsha City, the line infantry regiment encountered the cronies of the feudal nobles.

The equipment of the cronies is much better than that of the average middle-earth soldier, and the combat effectiveness is much higher, and the most important thing is to be very loyal.

But sending out the troops of his cronies also means that these feudal nobles have reached the end of their rope.

However, this force of nearly 100 cronies occupied an alley with many bunkers, and it was difficult for the muskets to be effective.

Sent out in close combat, they could not defeat these soldiers, and several charges were repulsed, and many people were lost.

This situation did not last long, and the soldiers in the back quickly brought up the 3-pounder smoothbore gun and aimed it directly at the alley.

The shells flew directly into it, smashing the bunkers inside, and several enemy soldiers were knocked into the air, and their bodies were smashed into a bloody blur.

Such a tragic scene did not scare away these soldiers, but deepened their hatred.

Many soldiers hiding behind bunkers were full of anger when they saw their commander being stoned to death, and rushed forward with knives.

"Fire!"

Another shell was fired, and because of the close distance, the power of the shell was maximized, and it was knocked down one at a time.

After a few shells, these soldiers had not yet rushed over, and had already lost more than half of them.

They finally rushed over with the artillery, trying to snatch the guns, but the musketeers did not give the slightest chance and opened fire.

The soldiers fell one after another, with less than 10 men left, and hand-to-hand combat soon ensued.

With the last of the Middle Earth soldiers stabbed to death with bayonets, the alley was finally taken down, and the clone soldiers poured up.

Soon came the decisive battle in the main city, but there were not many warriors among these feudal nobles, and after knowing that the defense was hopeless, they hurriedly fled here with their families.

When Lin Xiao's troops attacked the main city, they didn't encounter much resistance, he was not a butcher, and he had to kill the civilians inside when he captured a city.

And the clone soldiers don't have any bad habits, as long as those civilians don't attack them with a hoe like a stupid hat, they don't bother to pay attention to each other.

What made Lin Xiao uneasy was the gray soldiers who were recruited, their military discipline was not very good, but these civilians were at least their fellow villagers, and there were no vicious incidents.

Not only that, but they also provided convenience for Lin Xiao's occupation, spontaneous propaganda, and persuaded these civilians to surrender and not to make any resistance.

Lin Xiao was still very satisfied with this move, he occupied Huangsha City not only for those mineral resources, but also for the sufficient human resources here.

After all, he doesn't have that many energy points to clone, and these natives can just make up for the lack of population.

If you want to take advantage of these gray people, reputation is very important, and Huangsha City can be used as a role model, which is also very beneficial to his aggressive plan.

Otherwise, if he slaughtered the city like a butcher, if he wanted to continue to invade the Kingdom of Middle Earth in the future, he would definitely encounter stubborn resistance.

It's troublesome enough to deal with these feudal nobles, and he doesn't want to pull these commoners against him.

Fighting nationalism comes at a great cost, as he has seen in the history books of the planet.

While the nationalism of these grays had not yet been awakened, the kingdom of Middleland was not without pressure to declare war.

You must know that the feudal nobles and commoners are generally on opposite sides, and if he wants to eliminate these feudal nobles, it is impossible for the commoners below to hinder him, and may even join his side.

It's easy to pull these civilians to your side, you just need to shout the slogan that everyone is equal, and you will definitely recruit a large number of dumbfounders to fight for you.

This Lin Xiao doesn't plan to do it so soon, his current foundation is unstable, and he is likely to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

He wouldn't have shouted this slogan until he had a complete grip on the Greys, but it was only a matter of time.
