Chapter 72: Meat grinder-like inner city warfare

The west of the city lord's mansion has been declared lost, and the north and south of the city have also been turned upside down by great white sharks and vipers, making it difficult for them to live.

The strength of the people of the color is constantly shrinking, shrinking and shrinking.

Eventually, the special forces were stopped by the city walls at the northeast and southeast corners.

"How can there be a wall here, and who designed it is not at all according to common sense. The captain of Viper II complained.

The auspicious building pays attention to symmetry, there is a diagonal city wall in the southeast, and there should be a place in the northwest, but there is no one, which makes him very uncomfortable with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.

When it comes to obsessive-compulsive disorder, in fact, every soldier in Jixiang has it, but it is just a matter of severity.

The dense defenders on the city wall made the second captain feel bitter, and it was impossible to attack by force, so it was up to him to see if he could outwit him.

Now he also discovered the purpose of the prominent wall here, which was to facilitate the evacuation of the people of Semu inland.

He was not worried that the lustful minds of the inner city would retreat eastward, but that they would not retreat.

Jixiang's combat mission this time is to capture the high-level and obtain the ultimate goal of the Semu people to occupy this place for more than ten years, and the rest can be ignored. Of course, if they can try to eliminate their living force, they will be happy to do it.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, the second captain thinks that it is not too late to hibernate first, depending on the situation of the battle in the inner city.

This is undoubtedly a safe way, and it is still the same sentence, mascots can not die easily, especially after a hundred battles.

When the combined fleet invaded Jixiang and destroyed a military port guard company formed by the internal guards, His Majesty the King was furious and annihilated the fleet at all costs.

Liu Zhi in the north also encountered the same situation, and after joining up with friendly forces in a small area, he listened to the advice of the captain of the third team of Vipers, and also chose to hibernate, but after hibernation, he 'cleaned' the north of the city again, and notified the rear auxiliaries to start transporting jewels onto the ship.

He was so happy, and the military salary for this battle had fallen.

Zifeng and the staff officers who were far away in the military port were also analyzing the battle report sent from the front, the current situation is quite optimistic, more than half of the battle is going on, the losses are about 200, and the special combat team has not yet submitted a report on the damage of personnel, and no news is good news.

However, Zifeng also knew in his heart that the inner city was the key, but the air force had already withdrawn, which would make it difficult for the enemy to break through the inner city and enter it.

He thought of naval artillery support, but the inner city was not big, and there were friendly troops all around, once the shells deviated, it would be a lot of fun, he didn't dare to take this risk, so he asked: "Has the air force come back?"

The logistics staff said: "The hot air balloon has been dismantled, and it will take some time to descend the mountain." ”

At the moment, the air force can't count on it, Zifeng has no temper, and he only hopes that He Yan and Crickets on the front line can find the enemy's loopholes, tear apart the opponent's defense from point to surface, and fold less if they can.

When the cannon of the Sun Moon City rang out, the aftermath was heard far to the east, and the mines were planted in a hurry on the way for the enemy to return to help, and a row of artillery was set up next to it, waiting for them to leave the city.

Zifeng counted the time, it had been two hours since the cannon sounded, and now it was the darkest time of the day, and the sky would be bright in half an hour, and if he couldn't attack the inner city mansion again, he would have to withdraw his troops.

According to the analysis of the battle report, the enemy's vital strength is about 8,000, and his own side is only in his early 1,000s when he is fully fought, and the 1,000 peasant auxiliary soldiers cannot participate in the battle.

It's not that this person can't beat the inner city, but it's a question of whether it's worth it, but His Majesty made it clear when he came, as long as the secret is in hand, nothing else matters. In other words, if the secret is not in hand, the rest is important.

In view of this, Zifeng hoped to attack the inner city mansion before dawn, causing chaos and winning from the viper chaos, and the capture of the leader was done.

On the west side of the city lord's mansion, the ladder was ready, and as soon as the captain of the Marine Corps gave the order, the cannonballs flew into the city, and a group of people were blown up.

At this time, Colonel Qin seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger.

A bloody patch of blood popped out of the chest of one of the Color-Eyed Commanders, who had been pointing fingers before, and fell to the ground with his mouth open.

Seeing this, Lao Jiu on the side secretly said, "Good girl, this is much more powerful than any arrow, it is simply invisible." This strengthened his desire to learn the musket.

The crickets constantly reported the location of the enemy to the marines not far from the city, and they attacked and killed the enemy troops on the battlements to the greatest extent to protect the peace of this side.

Colonel Qin's objectives were gunners, commanders, crossbowmen, heavy infantry, and light infantry, so when the artillery on the enemy's battlements rang out, he shifted his position to finish it off.

At this time, the marines also aimed their artillery at the enemy artillery hidden in the battlements, and the two sides bombarded each other, and you came and smashed back and forth.

The cricket led the team members all the way to the north to sweep over, and when the two sides were about ten meters apart, they stopped, and Qin Xiaoxiao sneaked up, loaded the ammunition, loaded the shot, and then loaded the primer, and finally took aim and pulled the trigger.

A color-eyed artilleryman in front of him who was loading fell instantly, and the five-pound iron egg in his hand smashed his comrades on the side to the ground, causing a burst of chaos.

Colonel Qin seemed to have fallen into a state of selflessness, ignoring everything around him, silently loading and recharging, repeating the steps of aiming and shooting, and every time he was excited, he used the sound of his own artillery to not let the other party find out about it.

This made Lao Jiu's interest even stronger.

In this way, the defenders of this fort suddenly realized at the last moment, and ran towards the colonel like crazy, and then they were thrown off the city by the crickets, and then turned the gun and fired at a battery on the north side of the battlement.

By this time, the Marines had begun to climb the city walls, and the territory occupied was gradually expanding.

And there were not many cannons for the Semu people, and the only few remaining ones were shrunk in the city lord's mansion after several consumptions, so the mascot took a lot of effort to kill all three cannons on the west city, and dozens of people died.

The great white shark and the viper went east along the north and south wall passages, and the marines did their old job, and after a loud bang, the west wall of the inner city also collapsed like the west wall of Sun Moon City, and the real street battle came.

The cricket and Colonel Qin kept moving back and forth on the battlements, dodging the enemy's throwing guns and crossbow arrows on the one hand, and getting as close as possible to the enemy on the other hand, increasing the hit rate, which Lao Jiu only discovered after observing for a long time.

He found that the hit rate of the colonel was greatly affected by distance, wind speed, line of sight, etc., so he suggested that the distance with the enemy should be shortened.

In this way, Qin Xiaoxiao's group of people kept moving back and forth, and every time they stopped, they could take the life of a color-eyed person, and the efficiency was terrifying.

After the collapse of the West City, the Marines rushed to the inner city, relying on the terrain to occupy the foothold.

Then, there was a loud noise in the northern city, and the great white sharks and vipers also entered the inner city, followed by the southern city.

George sat in the center of the hall, surrounded by dozens of generals with solemn expressions, all waiting for his orders.

After three loud noises came, the hearts of everyone present seemed to have been hammered three times with a heavy hammer, and their faces turned pale.

"Defend section by section, don't rush forward, we must be good at using space to exchange time, now it's not far from dawn, victory is in sight, go." ”

George's so-called section-by-section defense is actually a mixture of several lines of defense, which can be taken care of from the beginning to the end, and the advance and retreat are calm.

Although the idea is good, it also depends on who executes it.

After the mascot entered the inner city, he was faced with intricate streets and shops, and there were few straight roads, and it was difficult to see more than ten meters, that is, the distance between two shops.

Company Commander Liu Yu of the vanguard frowned for a while, his task was to lead the company to clear a road to the mansion along the west wall, and there were people on the east wall who were performing the same task.

After asking the captain for some grenades, the vanguard set off.

The task of the later companies was to follow the road carved out behind them, march eastward, envelop the enemy and encircle him.

At this time, more than a dozen artillery pieces had been evenly divided into three places, and five were on the west wall, which were being hoisted at this time.

"Let's go down. Seeing that there was no result on the battlements, Colonel Qin proposed to follow the vanguard.

The cricket thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Company Commander Liu Yu was overjoyed when he learned that the Viper team had joined, and he became more and more cautious as he went.

The eighth and seventh children acted as the eyeliners of the pathfinder, constantly transmitting back the enemy's defense information.

"There are three people in this pawnshop in front of you, three throwing spears, and three crossbow arrows. Lao Qi's gesture came.

With a wave of Captain Liu's hand, two commandos lurked by the window, pulled the grenade, opened the window and threw it in, followed by two loud bangs.

The three-person battle team rushed in, shield-holding and dagger in hand, and after a few swords into the flesh, the crowd moved towards the next building.

At this time, sign language came from Lao Ba, and there was a ten-man team of enemies in the building, all of whom were short weapons.

At this time, four members of the team went up, and two bundles of grenades were thrown into four bundles, hoping that they would still succeed as smoothly as before, but at the last moment a bundle of grenades was thrown out by the enemy, and exploded in the crowd, and the vanguard fell one by one.

The cricket shouted at Qin Xiaoxiao on the ground with wide eyes, his subordinates kept moving, touching him non-stop, his movements were gentle and spiritual, and it took a while to stop his anxious expression and pull him up.

Company Commander Liu was also very embarrassed by the scene in front of him, this was not the first time that the grenade was thrown back, and he had nothing to do about it.

After cleaning up, everyone continued on the road, this time Qin Xiaoxiao was firmly blocked by the crickets, surrounded by viper members, and the protection was extreme.

The next one is a two-story small restaurant, with a brick and tile structure, which is very strong.

When the eighth child was about to go forward to investigate, he was stopped by the little colonel, "It's very dangerous there, I have a hunch, take me to the brothel opposite." ”

The brothel was empty, and the people didn't even send a spies, and they took the little school to the window on the second floor very easily, and the fourth child added two more tables to prevent each other's crossbow arrows before letting the little school approach.

"Look, the other side has crossbow arrows. ”

The cricket also raised the binoculars, poked out secretly, and really found fixed crossbow arrows from the cracks in the window to the main roads everywhere, if he rushed in, such a powerful penetrating power, ordinary wooden boards could not be stopped, either dead or injured.

The eighth child was also scared for a while after seeing it, and gave a thumbs up to the little school, causing the little school to smile shyly.

The restaurant stands alone in front, with no shelter around, which greatly increases the difficulty of the attack. Without support, he was bound to be exposed to the enemy's crossbow arrows, and after Liu Yu learned the news, he had to use the method of throwing grenades to attack.

As grenades were thrown into the lobby, destroying some of the mechanisms on the first floor, the windows on the second floor were already closed, so they had to send someone to attack the second floor.

As soon as a Marine stepped into the restaurant with his left foot, he was shot through the head by a crossbow arrow overhead, and there were sparks all around him within a meter, and the stone slab was covered with arrow marks, and the crossbow arrows splattered in all directions.

"Fire attack?" someone suggested.

"Only the pillars and a few baffles are wood, and the rest are bricks and stones, which is difficult, and besides, it is almost dawn. ”

Yes, it's almost dawn, and this is the biggest weakness of the mascot.

"Get on the big shield, work in groups of three, and attack with grenades at close range. Liu Yu was furious, and the time limit for the task given to him by the boss was not long.

A group of three people stepped into the secluded place again with their shields raised, and had just taken two steps into the door when there was another ping-pong sound overhead, and then several crossbow arrows slid to the ground, causing everyone to tremble in their hearts.

Continuing to walk forward, he saw the staircase, and several crossbow arrows flew from the side, shooting through the two people on the spot, and the life in front was great, and after coming to his senses, he hurriedly erected the shield, and then collected the grenades on his comrades, and slowly moved to the staircase.

Fortunately, he was smart enough to guess that there might be a trap here, so he directly pulled the grenade and threw it hard at the wall at the corner of the stairs, so that with the help of the rebound force, the grenade would fall in his blind spot, which was also the most likely place for the enemy to hide.

There was a loud 'boom', and the stairs collapsed, and several heavily armed people fell, and after a few convulsions, they were silent.

Further on, he saw a part of the second floor, and before he could see the layout of the room behind the smoke, he was stabbed through the chest by a spear from behind him, and finally the grenade exploded under his feet, along with the people who attacked him.

After not seeing movement in the building for a long time, Liu Yu knew that the mission had failed.

Four people went in successively, which was not a good sign, Liu Yu once wanted to pull the artillery over, and directly bombarded it.

But it was too late, and there was already a white fish belly on the horizon, and he planned to go to the hoplite infantry and use grenades to open the way, or directly use grenades to level the two-story building.

Just when the decision was still undecided, the sixth came downstairs and informed him that Junior Colonel Qin had a plan.

Colonel Qin's method was not unusual, that is, he had people tie grenades to crossbow arrows and shoot them into the opposite window from here, while other archers were on guard, ready to shoot the enemy who showed up.

Just do it, although the method is dirty, it doesn't necessarily work.

So a team of archers went upstairs, and then the grenades were pulled in the front row, and then the grenades were carried out by a huge inertia, nailed to the wooden windows opposite, and exploded one after another, and the black hole windows were exposed in front of everyone's eyes.

While everyone was observing, a 'bang' gunshot, and a crossbowman fell to the ground by the opposite window, and the bolt was nailed to the edge of the window on the second floor of the brothel.

"These things are really tough. ”

Without waiting for the other party to make any other moves, the second wave of crossbow arrows wrapped around the grenade shot down the window, and after a burst of ping-pong sound, two groups of three rushed up from the first floor, and only after breaking one more person did they wipe out all six people on the second floor.

In this two-story restaurant alone, Jixiang folded five people and annihilated ten people on the other side, and the one-to-two battle damage made Liu Yu's heart bleed.

"Next. With a ruthless order, he took the lead and dived down the next street.

Most of this street was wooden, so he simply set it on fire, not only burning the entire street, but also burning more than 100 people to death, which made the resentful Liu Lian Chang's heart feel a lot more happy.

The fourth street is full of stone buildings, and the original majestic antique buildings are more like monsters that eat people and don't spit out bones in Liu Yu's eyes.

There is no way, you have to rob one room and one building after another.

"Second shift. ”

The second squad leader commanded the trio, first threw a few grenades into the room, and after the aftermath of the explosion was gone, he rushed in with a sword and shield, but the ghost shadow did not see a single one.

At this time, everyone looked around and wanted to go up to the second floor.

At the bend of the staircase, three spears stretched out from behind the mural, stabbing the three of them in the heart.

When the second group of three people came up, there were no corpses except for the three pools of blood at the top of the staircase, so they left the grenade under the mural, but the man jumped down the stairs and rolled on the ground and hid under the corner.

A violent wave of air came, and a large hole was blown out at the corner of the stairs, and six corpses lay bloody in the hole, including three compatriots.

So the news of the secret passage in the stone house of the Semu people spread, and then it quickly spread to the teams everywhere.

Then, as soon as the Marines who were fighting at the corner showed their heads, they were hit in the neck by an oncoming crossbow arrow, killing them instantly.

"The enemy is here. The cricket's face was gloomy, and he yelled behind him, reminding everyone to take cover.

Sure enough, through the red light from the east, you can vaguely see that the street has been blocked by stones, the people with colored eyes are busy carrying things, and the crickets look a little more closely through the binoculars, but at this second, they can see his dead soul rising.

didn't have time to warn, so he turned around and pushed Qin Xiaoxiao and a few vipers behind the wall, and he also used the strong inertia of the force under his feet to press them down.

When it was too late, a strong light flashed on the opposite side, and then more than a dozen marines in front of them fell down like leeks cut by a knife, and they were already in a different place.

The iron egg came to a stop after smashing a few people, covered in jet-black blood.

"I'm the grandfather of his grandmother. Liu Yu, who escaped the catastrophe, cursed in a low voice, nearly one-fifth of the casualties, although common in the history of auspicious wars, but not common in the Southern Continent, he had great compassion from his heart, and gave up the idea of sacrificing his life to blow up the opponent's fort.

But as soon as he showed his head, the crossbow arrows on the opposite side shot at him as if he didn't want money, which made him angry for a while.

As everyone knows, the people of Semu know very well that the city is lost and there are no people, so why are they worried about these losses.

At this time, you can only rely on the viper.

Liu Yu glanced at the cricket with a little blush, and after the meaning was clearly expressed, he quickly withdrew his gaze, feeling apprehensive in his heart.

The cricket felt a little funny, his task was to protect Colonel Qin and the gun in his arms, and the others cared very little.

Seeing this, the colonel said: "It's better to occupy a high place, first deal with the gunner, and then use a wave of grenades to deal with the opponent." ”

He was born in the internal guard, and he has learned a lot of combat tactics, and these are all familiar with the road, if he is sent out, he must be a company commander-level commander.

Seeing that the party was willing to come forward, the cricket led everyone to grope around, and after solving a few spies hiding in the shadows, he successfully ascended a bell tower.

The bell tower is not short, about three stories high, built of bricks, but also sturdy.

After Junior Colonel Qin on the third floor finished loading his ammunition, he raised his gun and took aim.

At this time, the two sides were about 100 meters apart, and the hit rate was only about sixty percent, which was the data measured by Lao Jiu.

Seeing that the colonel waved his hand, the cricket took out the flag and waved it in the direction of Company Commander Liu, so the grenade was thrown at the fort every ten breaths.

Don't do damage, just create an explosion.

Similarly, the Colonel took advantage of the sound of the grenade to pull the trigger, and the gunner on standby collapsed, causing a wave of panic in the surroundings.

When the enemy battery was in a panic, the suppression of Company Commander Liu weakened a lot, and the grenade was thrown closer.

A few more gunshots rang out, and the commander fell in a pool of blood, when they finally spotted the auspicious squad on the bell tower and sent people to surround them.

After the gunner was solved, Company Commander Liu no longer shrank, and rushed out with a shield, approaching with a grenade beckoning, and then chopping melons and vegetables to clean up the mess, and then came towards the bell tower, wanting to relieve the viper.

Before reaching the entrance, the cricket came out of the bell tower and showed a bright smile towards Liu Yu, "Company Commander Liu, there is still a street (alley), time is running out." ”

Secretly screaming in confusion, Liu Yu led people around the crickets and them and headed towards the next street.

This is the last street outside the main courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and it is still a brick and stone structure, but it is more narrow and dark.

To be on the safe side, Liu Yu sent a squad from the second platoon to fight at the front station, and a squad from the third platoon followed more than ten meters behind to support at any time.

When the second platoon and one squad reached the middle of the alley, a group of light infantry suddenly rushed out from both sides, and the two sides immediately fell into a melee.

A squad of three platoons of support immediately rushed forward, but when they entered the battle, they were stopped by the sudden appearance of the Semu heavy infantry on the left.

At such a close distance, the grenades were useless, and the light infantry had no advantage over the heavy infantry, and the three platoons and squads were beaten back and forth.

In this case, Liu Yu also knew that he would either continue to send people to support, or he would not have these two squads and withdraw his troops to wait for help.

This is obviously a trick of the enemy, taking advantage of the geographical advantage, abducting the auspicious people and adding fuel to the war zone, so as to attract their troops as much as possible, and use the numerical advantage to gather and annihilate them.

There are no cannons here, no grenades can be thrown, and there is little room for tossing and turning, which is a hundred constraints for the mascot.

"Do you believe it, those houses in the east of the black hole are crowded with lustful people at this time, just waiting for you to bring people in. The cricket's words poured cold water on Liu Yu, and he stared at the dark place where it seemed to be with a bloody mouth open, and hesitated.

At this time, Colonel Qin came over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "We continue to cooperate, these two groups of people can't fold here, let alone watch them fold here." ”

Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, watched the little school leave, and then focused his eyes on the narrow and dark alley.

The cricket led the colonel through the previous block, and went around to the east side of the last alley, and began to lay it out.

It is said that it is arranged, but in fact there is nothing special about it, it is nothing more than launching an attack from behind the enemy, and some tricky mines are arranged in the place where it passes to prevent the rear from being attacked. Then use the enemy's fixed thinking to break them one by one, and finally rescue the robe.

There are not many guards in the streets and alleys to the east, and in the eyes of the crickets, they only play a symbolic role of ventilating and signaling, and they are like live targets in front of them.

After gradually entering the alley, you have to be cautious to deal with the enemy, no one knows if these people have any inevitable connection in secret, and one carelessness will be exposed, and the crowd tactics are not the viper's strong point.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and gradually approached the place where the shouting and killing sound came from.

Maybe it was because of his trust in the viper, or maybe it was desperate, Liu Yu didn't break his arm to survive and gave up the brothers in those two classes, and he sent troops inside.

In the same way, when he joined up with the front army, he was cut off by enemy reinforcements, and then he sent troops again, and was cut off again, so that there was no way to send them.

Seeing this, the enemy also stepped up his offensive and wanted to eat the hundred or so people first.

After they approached, they set up a few more tricks in front of them, and then they retreated back and waited for Junior Colonel Qin's orders.

"This time I'm going to shoot directly at close range, and you can just block their counterattack. ”

"Good. The cricket nodded, and the group took out their small crossbows as if by juggling them, and began to reload. There were also some messy things that the school had never seen before, and they were also taken out and put in hand.

With a 'bang' of gunshots, a light infantry man fell, revealing an auspicious soldier with a stunned face.

After seeing the gesture of the cricket, he took advantage of the situation to cover the past on both sides.

Then another shot rang out, and the enemy fell, and the pressure on the auspicious soldier weakened a little, and the wounded and sick fought in a group.

As the gunshots continued to ring, the people with color eyes gradually discovered the dilemma of being outflanked in the rear, and a group of people with color eyes quickly rushed towards Colonel Qin from the direction close to Liu Yu.

"It seems to be a small yellow croaker, is it hard or soft?" asked Colonel Qin jokingly.

"I like the hard ones, and it's more efficient to name them. The Colonel replied.

"Okay, brethren, I'll be a little bit more later. ”

The crowd laughed, and four or five people had disappeared into the darkness on either side.

There was another gunshot, and one of the hoplites at the front collapsed with his face covered.

Then the trap set by the crickets is triggered, and the loud sound of firecrackers shakes the earthquake so loudly that it is deafening through the amplification of the cramped buildings.

Colonel Qin seemed to have taken root, reloading and pulling the trigger, without moving at all. He understands that he is not a qualified sniper by doing this, but he just can't resist the temptation to kill the enemy, and the other party falls one after another, and the feeling is very exciting.

The vipers are also clever, and if they can't kill each other in three or two moves, they will give up the shooting boundary to the small colonel, but the first cooperation between the two sides is full of tacit understanding.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the heavy infantry of more than 100 people fell on the road to Colonel Qin, and none of them escaped.

At this time, the battle situation in front has entered the final stage, the mascot has shown defeat, there are many fallen on the ground, and the wounded soldiers hiding behind have no strength to fight again, if it were not for the sharp horizontal sword, only those heavy infantry can wipe them out.

Without further ado, Viper and Colonel Qin joined the battle group in front of them, and after solving the difficulties layer by layer, the auspicious side actually survived and began to press the colored people to fight.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the Semu people began to withdraw to the inner city of the City Lord's Mansion.

Liu Yu held the knife in his right hand, gasped for breath, and asked, "What are the casualties?"

"Thirty-four were killed, twenty-six were seriously wounded, and the rest were lightly wounded. ”

With a 'bang', the blackened horizontal knife slammed to the ground, striking a burst of sparks.

If you lose more than half, how will you fight the next battle?

This is still the loss of his own army, if you count the three roads, wouldn't it be a loss of more than three hundred?
