Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Battle of the West City
On the front line of the battle between the eastern and western cities, Zhao Yiming was approving the copywriting in the headquarters.
As the lord of the Xicheng settlement and a member of the Kyoto settlement management committee, Zhao Yiming has great authority. can sit on an equal footing with Zhao Yiming, and there are only a few people in the entire settlement several times.
The front-line command is set up in the underground, which is very safe, the upper floor is the office of the combat officers, and the lower floor is the office area of Zhao Yiming alone.
Now, Zhao Yiming's private command is away, and there are two other people.
"Old Zhong, the defense line in Dongcheng District is on the verge of collapse, I believe it won't be long before we can break into Dongcheng District." Zhao Yiming handed a battle report to Zhong Wen.
Zhong Wen, the military leader of the Shijingshan settlement, was a sturdy middle-aged man with a bald head and a burly body hidden in an old military uniform, barely able to wrap up the exploding muscles of his body.
Zhong Wen took the battle report with a palm like five carrots, looked through it randomly, and then Zhong Wen handed the battle report to the third person beside him.
This third person was shrouded in a huge white cloak, his head was covered by a hood, and his body was tightly wrapped in a robe, even if this person sat opposite Zhao Yiming, Zhao Yiming couldn't see the true face of this person's Lushan.
"What do you think, Mr. Milton?" Zhong Wen asked.
Mr. Milton, hidden in his cloak robe, looked up, revealing a pair of inhuman, narrow eyes.
These eyes are like square, and their pupils shimmer with blue brilliance, which is by no means all the cold look of a human being.
Zhao Yiming's heart tightened......
No one knows who Milton is from or where he came from, but after this mysterious person came to the Kyoto settlement, he quickly occupied a high-level position, faintly above Zhong Wen.
In the Kyoto settlement, there has always been a focus on seniority, and it is not in accordance with the rules for outsiders like Milton to quickly rise to the top.
However, the rules have always been set by powerful people, so when you encounter a strong person like Milton, the rules have to be changed.
This guy killed hundreds of tough reformed warriors by himself when he first arrived in the settlement...... Thinking of Milton's astonishing methods, Zhao Yiming had to succumb to reality.
This monster in front of him is definitely not a human.
Zhong Wen respectfully handed over the battle report, and this paper battle report floated out of thin air in front of Milton, and then opened it by itself!
"Yes, as long as Dongcheng District is defeated, those who are still supporting Dongcheng District will lose the courage to fight, and the unification of the Kyoto settlement area will be realized." Milton spoke.
The voice, at first glance, sounded emotionless, and very much like an electronic synthesis.
Zhao Yiming was very jealous of Milton, a monster who was neither human nor ghost, but he still couldn't help but ask: "The Kyoto settlement area is about to be unified, and my long-cherished wish and that of Lao Zhong will also be realized, I don't know if Mr. Milton has any requirements that you need to mention?" ”
"The time has not yet come, and nature will tell you when it comes." Milton spoke, his voice emotionless.
At this time, a high-ranking officer walked into the headquarters to make a report.
"Report! Commissioner Zhao has urgent military affairs! ”
Zhao Yiming looked at the person who came, this was his right-hand man, so he asked in some surprise: "Xie Village, but Yan Chao's troops are calling again?" ”
The officer replied, "No." ”
"What's going on with that that makes you so urgent." Zhao Yiming asked.
"Report to Commissioner Zhao, a group of unknown armed forces have appeared in the settlement of Xicheng District, and they are wantonly burning and plundering in the settlement!" The officer replied.
"Huh? What do the defenders inside the settlement eat? Zhao Yiming frowned and asked.
Xie Cun said: "It is understood that the army left behind in the settlement should have been defeated. ”
Zhao Yiming lost his indifference, his eyes were a little frightened, and then Zhao Yiming looked at Zhong Wen.
Zhong Wenqi said: "Where did the enemy break through Daoxi City?" Could it be that there is a hole in the line of defense? ”
Xie Cun stared at Zhong Wen and replied: "Brothers, they have never relaxed their vigilance for a moment, the enemy definitely did not break through from the defensive line!" ”
Zhao Yiming coughed embarrassedly: "Xie Village, how did you talk to Commander Zhong, it's not big or small, palm mouth!" ”
Zhong Wen waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's normal for young people to be bloody and strong, let's get down to business, how many enemies are there?" ”
"At present, the situation of the enemy is not clear, we have lost contact with the interior of Xicheng District, and the people who sent to spy on the situation have also not returned, so it is impossible to determine the number of enemies. However......" Xie Cun wanted to speak and stopped.
"But what?" Zhao Yiming asked.
Xie Cun looked at Zhong Wen's face, gritted his teeth and continued: "But from the guess of our front-line troops, the enemy is definitely not a small force!" Such a large-scale force, if it passes through the defense line of the Twin Cities, it will inevitably be known that they definitely did not come from the Dongcheng District. ”
Zhao Yiming Huo Ran raised his head and forced Zhong Wen to look.
"Old Zhong, what's going on?" Zhao Yiming asked sharply.
Zhong Wen's eyes narrowed: "Lao Zhao, if you have something to say." What are you staring at me for, do you think I'm hitting your attention? ”
"Then you give me an explanation, where did these enemies come from?" Zhao Yiming asked.
Zhong Wen sneered: "It seems that you really think that I can't get along with you." ”
The two giants looked at each other and coldly rubbed out the sparks.
At this time, Milton on the side spoke: "You two, you are grasshoppers on a rope, what are you arguing about, where is the enemy, grab a few tongues and ask, don't you know?" ”
As soon as Milton spoke, Zhong Wen and Zhao Yiming put away their cross-eyed eyes.
"Since Mr. Mi has spoken, let's arrest people and ask them."
Zhao Yiming said: "Xie Village, you go and assemble the main forces on the front line, and we will fight back to the settlement, I want to see where the jumping clown is so bold and arrogant, he dares to beat my idea!" ”
Xie Cun was ordered to go, and Zhong Wen also spoke: "Since I want to show my sincerity, I am also willing to send an army with you to exterminate those rebellious ministers and thieves." ”
Zhao Yiming looked at Zhong Wen meaningfully, and said, "That's very good." ”
After that, the two parted unhappily and went to dispatch their troops.
In the huge room, Milton was the only one left.
At this time, Milton unwrapped his body, revealing a blue tentacle.
With a flick of the tentacle, bits and pieces of blue starlight appeared in the air.
As the starlight fell, Milton's consciousness flew farther and farther away, towards what he knew.
……
Wang Qiang felt a strange sense of probing.
It's a very strange feeling.
Faintly uneasy to himself.
Wang Qiang looked left and right, but he didn't see anyone spying on him, this feeling was really strange.
Suddenly, Wang Qiang's heart was alert.
The body instinctively, an irrepressible energy burst out, and the invisible energy rushed straight out of the body along Wang Qiang's body, Wang Qiang felt his body light, and there was a faint shadow above his head that was dispelled by the energy.
Is this a fucking ghost?
Wang Qiang muttered in his heart.
Mirton, who was outside the fugue, suddenly coughed, and a stream of blue blood spurted out of Milton's mouth.
"It's ...... What's going on? Milton muttered to himself.
"Our people? Wrong. ”
"Those inferior creatures made by Oak...... Not like that. ”
Milton muttered, "I need to take a good look at what he is." ”
With that, Milton fell into a state of emptiness.
……
After releasing an energy wave from his own instinct, Wang Qiang felt that the mysterious sense of spying had disappeared.
didn't have time to care about so many strange things, Wang Qiang's attention shifted to the battlefield.
His subordinates had reported that the road in and out of the Shijingshan settlement had been successfully sealed, and the pitiful soldiers under Zhao Yiming guarding the passage had all been killed. The Kyoto Research Department, which is in charge of the research department, was also successfully controlled. Only the armory depot in the south broke out into an extremely fierce battle, but fortunately, although the enemy army was brave, but the combat level was really not high, and in the face of the powerful offensive of his own men, the enemy army was quickly defeated.
Now, the war is raging inside the settlement, Song Gouzi can't do anything else, stealing chickens and touching dogs on the hot kang head is very capable, it seems that arranging him to go to the settlement to set fire everywhere is to choose the right person, at this time the settlement is full of chickens flying and dogs jumping, all depends on Song Gouzi toss.
With Song Gouzi's toss, there are traces of his own people everywhere, and presumably the enemy does not know the true situation of our side, which provides himself with good ambush conditions.
"Brother Qiang, Erhan has occupied various commanding heights in the settlement and discovered the movements of the enemy army. To the east there is a large army rushing to us. "The men came quickly to report.
Wang Qiang nodded, the enemy finally came to help, and the main event finally came.
"Let Lao Luo move quickly, let Wang Wang ambush, we will be caught off guard by the enemy." Wang Qiang finally said.
……
Xie Cun sat on a locomotive and was hurrying along the rugged road to the interior of the settlement.
In the distance, you can see the raging fire in the settlement, and Xie Cun knows in his heart that no matter whether he wins or loses this battle, most of Zhao Yiming's foundation will be destroyed.
As Zhao Yiming's number one general, Xie Cun knew in his heart that the relationship between Zhao Yiming and Zhong Wen was not as close as he imagined.
The two had long been in a state of alliance in order to compete for power in the settlement, but now that the enemies of Yan Aiguo and Nian Heng are facing the final downfall, the fragile balance is about to be broken, and the situation in the Kyoto settlement has undergone the biggest change in the past two decades.
As long as Yan Aiguo and Nian Heng fall, Zhao Yiming and Zhong Wen will cross many obstacles and face a situation of direct confrontation, so Xie Cun has to pay attention to it.
This time, Xicheng suddenly encountered a war, and the enemy came suddenly, and it was almost impossible for this to happen if no one had responded inside the settlement.
Xie Cun looked at the army that was marching not far away, it was the army sent by Zhong Wen, it was in an extraordinary period at this time, and Xie Cun would inevitably not take precautions in his heart.
"Come here." Xie Cun greeted an adjutant behind him.
"General, what do you command?" The adjutant stepped forward.
Xie Cun whispered to the adjutant: "You go down and quietly give an order, ordering our troops close to the side of Shijingshan's army to keep their eyes bright, and be careful of being shot by them." ”
"General...... Yes, sir! The adjutant reacted immediately and immediately went down to convey the order.
Xie Cun summoned another adjutant general and ordered: "Let our troops stay away from them." ”
The adjutant general was ordered to leave, and Xie Cun looked at Zhong Wen's troops coldly.
If it weren't for these Shijingshan guys doing ghosts, I wouldn't believe it!
Xie Cun was already sure in his heart.
……
"Brother Qiang, the enemy has come! They split into two and came straight to me. His subordinates hurriedly reported.
Wang Qiang nodded: "Since they are here, the guarantee will make them come and go." Ask Lao Luo again, is the blasting work ready? I'm going to give them a big gift! ”
Lao Luo is a blasting expert recruited by Wang Qiang from within the Sanhe settlement, and the use of explosives can be called an artistic, genius-like character, after Brother Qiang has seen Lao Luo's masterpieces a few times, his admiration for Lao Luo has reached its peak.
The subordinates reported: "Brother Qiang, Lao Luo said that everything is ready, just wait for Brother Qiang's order, and ensure that the opponent will die!" ”
Wang Qiang instructed: "Tell Lao Luo, this is underground, and there are rock formations above your head, don't think of it as tossing on the ground, in case of an explosion and a fire collapses here, we will all be buried alive." ”
The subordinate replied with a smile: "Brother Qiang, you put a hundred hearts, what about the old thief, the explosion is all out of flowers, don't worry about him." ”
Wang Qiang nodded: "That's good!" ”
At this time, the soldier in charge of watching and observing the enemy's movements replied: "Brother Qiang, one of the two groups of men and horses of them stopped, and the other group entered the ambush site!" What to do? ”
Of course, Brother Qiang didn't know that there were contradictions in the enemy's formation, and he should have met a master!
Wang Qiang squinted, thinking that the enemy was really cautious, he actually divided his troops into two ways, and now he couldn't catch them all at once, which was really hateful.
The blasting site designed by Lao Luo was inside a large civilian residential area east of Xicheng District. Wang Qiang stood on a hidden place on a high place, and he could clearly see the shantytown that had been manipulated.
As long as he gives an order, the entire shantytown will become a burial place for the enemy, but the current situation is different from what he imagined, the enemy is divided into two routes, and he sees that one has entered the blasting area, while the other part of the army is still not moving.
"Malegobi's, I've met a master." Wang Qiang stroked his beard.
"Brother Qiang, the enemy has entered the blasting area, and if you go any further, you will break away from the blasting area and encounter Lord Wang's troops, Brother Qiang, can you fight?"
Wang Qiang gritted his teeth and ordered: "Blasting for me!" ”
……
Xie Cun watched Zhong Wen's troops enter the settlement with a cold eye, and there was no expression on his face.
"These guys are thieves and thieves, I'll see what they can do." The old god of Xie Village said, watching the troops under Zhong Wen's command take the lead in entering the settlement.
"General, aren't we going in to fight?" The officer asked.
Xie Cun said reservedly: "What's the matter with slowing down, the settlements have been beaten like this, so why not change it and then send it out?" ”
As he spoke, the ground trembled!
A series of rumbling sounds came, and Xie Cun suddenly got up from the car.
"What's going on?" Xie Cun asked.
With such a big battle in the settlement, Xie Cun remembered the earthquake that happened one year!
At that time, the earthquake caused many places in the Kyoto settlement to collapse, and the young Xie Village was scared!
Could it be that this time the earthquake is coming again?
Xie Cun didn't react violently, and the mountains shook for a while, which directly made Xie Cun hallucinate in life, and the nightmare of those years came back.
"General, look!" The adjutant shook his hand and pointed into the distance.
Xie Cun followed the adjutant's hand and looked over, but in the distance, the most important building complex in the Kyoto settlement--- a large number of residential areas with shanty structures, had completely collapsed in the shaking just now.
"This ...... Not an earthquake. Xie Cun reacted, and his face turned pale.
"General, this is not an earthquake, someone has blown up this area!" Xie Village's adjutant screamed.
Where did Xie Cun need the adjutant to remind him, he already understood, but ...... Xie Cun shuddered in his heart.
Looking at the ruins in front of him like this, Xie Cun's head was buzzing.
Xie Cun's face was pale, he was not shocked by the collapse of the house and the large-scale explosion, his fear was because the large army sent by Zhong Wen was marching in this area when it collapsed.
Now, it is almost certain that the Biao army sent by Zhong Wen has been completely wiped out. And if it weren't for his anger and he entered this place so late, then, it is conceivable that his grave will be overgrown next year.
Now, Xie Cun can also be sure of one thing, what caused the chaos in Xicheng District will definitely not be the Zhong Wen family in Shijingshan.
Even if Zhong Wen wants to sing a bitter meat trick, it is impossible for him to use his elite army to send him to death.
This is not something that normal people do!
So, who are the people who are burning and looting in the settlements now?
"Order the whole army to be on alert, Gu Ze, you lead the front army to open the way!" Xie Cun calmed down, thinking that it was good if it wasn't an earthquake.
The fear of earthquakes has long surpassed all the people in the underground of the crab dwelling, what are you kidding, once an earthquake is underground, the fragile support space around it, once it collapses, you can only wait for death.
As long as it wasn't an earthquake, Xie Cun's confidence returned, his face began to improve, his mood stabilized, and Xie Cun commanded calmly.
"How dare you do such a great slaughter in our settlement! Give me the order to catch the enemy and kill him! Xie Cun roared.
Xie Cun's subordinate Gu Ze gathered all the people, led the crowd out, and walked into the ruins first. I saw that in the ruins, Zhong Wen's soldiers were buried alive in the buildings, and these soldiers were either crushed by the collapsed walls, or hit by flying stones, or swallowed up by the cracked holes in the ground, in short, they died miserably.
The soldiers walking among the ruins, under the leadership of Gu Ze, cautiously marched towards the depths of the settlement.
It's just that they don't know that they have completely fallen under Wang Qiang's surveillance.
……
From a hidden lookout point in the heights, Wang Qiang was paying close attention to the battle situation.
"The enemy is very careful, like a wolf prowling near a trap." Wang Qiang's subordinate said in a crepe.
Wang Qiang said: "These people are obviously groundhogs, where are they wolves." ”
"Brother Qiang, what should I do if the marmot doesn't pull out the carrot?" The men were half-joking.
Wang Qiang also smiled: "If they don't come, can't we go?" We can be proactive. ”
