Chapter 71: The decisive battle has just begun

In the City Lord's Mansion, due to the presence of two brigades, the protection was immediately tightened, and the space for the crickets to move was further compressed.

The construction of a defensive line has begun in the mansion, and it is also the second line of defense in Sun Moon City in addition to street fighting, "It seems that the other party is determined to compare losses with us." ”

The cricket muttered, and then hibernated patiently again.

His task is very clear, to protect Colonel Qin and the gun in his hand.

The natives were still desperately carrying the artillery to the city, and the old nine on the side were worried about it, for fear that they would slip and fall again.

The artillery of the color eye people is much heavier than auspicious, and the three-inch cannon of the same caliber is nearly 2,000 catties, and the strength of the process and materials cannot be reached, so it can only be made up by thickness, which virtually increases the weight of the gun body and the difficulty of moving.

Just as the people were still hanging, pushing, and carrying artillery up the city wall, a grenade explosion suddenly sounded from the west, and the two sides engaged.

After a sprint of more than 1,000 marines, they found scattered enemy outposts, and after clearing them, they slowed down and advanced on the favorable terrain search.

After crossing a few streets, they reached the first line of defense on the enemy's western side, where most of them were newly reorganized remnants, numbering more than 3,000.

He was the first commander of the Jixiang Marine Corps, and his father was a bodyguard to Wang Xuan's grandfather, and was awarded the title for Wang Xuan's trust and personal ability.

"Commander, there's news from the front, it's engaged. The guards informed He Yan of the news.

"What is the current situation?" asked Ho.

"The enemy was not very aggressive, and we used the cover of the building to force them out of the first street with only grenades, and now the next street is being cleared. ”

After listening, He Yan instructed: "Both speed and safety, notify it, don't take the enemy lightly, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention the lustful people who have a strong desire to survive." Once our artillery is in place, we will attack again. ”

"Yes. The guard quickly reported the news, leaving He Yan alone in the dilapidated Lust-eyed hut staring at the map and planning.

The explosion of the grenade boosted the morale of Team X, and after eliminating a few secret sentinels, Liu Zhi led the way into a basement with a half-hidden door.

What caught my eye was not gunpowder shells, nor weapons and armor, but a few large piles of yellow and shining jewels.

Almost every box was full, and a large section was piled up at the mouth of the box, and it was a sight to behold.

Liu Zhi counted, obediently, there are dozens of boxes, this should be the wealth looted by Fred's governor, but how can it be outside the city lord's mansion?

"Thin Monkey, the two of you stay in the guard, if there are not many enemies, you will be dealt with, if you can't save your life, as long as these jewels are still on this continent, you can't escape. ”

The thin monkey and the three answered the call, and went to investigate the environment and set up traps.

Liu Zhi took the rest of the brothers and continued to move forward, the target was still the arsenal and the grain depot, if there was no in the north of the city, it must be in the east of the city.

Once these two supplies are eliminated, it is tantamount to sounding the death knell for the Semu people, and it can reduce his own losses by nearly half at the worst, so he can't help but be in a hurry, and every time he delays a breath, he may lose one more comrade-in-arms.

But the further forward you go, the greater the resistance to action, and the tighter the enemy's defense.

At this time, they also found several other teams of great white sharks, and after communicating with each other, they separated again, and cast their nets wide to catch more fish.

This kind of all-round search can cause greater psychological pressure and loss of personnel to the enemy, and the pressure is always mutual, depending on who can hold on.

To the west of the city, first the viper entered and cleared a wave, then the great white shark plowed again, and the marines combed again as they passed, and it was already very safe here.

More than half of the nearly 1,000 auxiliaries were cleaning the battlefield, and this time they were really cleaning, and the rest of them were moving forward quickly with more than 20 artillery pieces along the instructions left by the marines, and there were marines everywhere to respond, and the speed was not slow.

With the addition of artillery, the morale of the Marines was greatly boosted.

Setting up a cannon and striking at the enemy's stone fortifications is a heavy bombardment.

Although it is a large stone fortification, after all, the time is still short, and the bond between them is not reliable, unlike the reinforced concrete building, so it collapsed after a few shots.

As a result, the grenade fell like a mortar into the hidden point behind the fortification, and everyone turned on their backs when they exploded.

The best way to deal with artillery was artillery, so it was not long before several heavy black guns were pulled up to the front line by the natives and erected in front of a raised stone fortification.

The enemy is the defender, so the artillery emplacements are set up very tricky, and from the perspective of the mascot, it is directly on the second floor to shoot at close range.

The elevation angle of the auspicious army gun is not high, and the distance between the two sides of the street is advanced, and the other party relies on the old stone house, and it will not collapse for a while and a half, and the auspicious side is very at a loss, and two cannons are destroyed under the muzzle of the other party's cannon, which makes people worry about the pain.

"Captain?" a Marine shouted anxiously.

"Let the third class go to the end of him. The captain red-eyed and said word by word.

"Yes. ”

There were also nine people in the third class, each carrying more than a dozen grenades, and they were tied together in groups of three.

"I'll count them, and when the loaches are the first to rush at three, you kid run fast, and help the brethren find out where the enemy's archers are, and the others will watch with their hearts. ”

"Squad leader, please be okay. The loach was covered with sweat, and reached out and touched his face indiscriminately, so that his face was so black that he didn't even recognize the squad leader.

"Still not a good one, after a while, the hands and feet will be sharp, and the life will be one. ”

"I know, my father said, when I go back, he will marry a mother-in-law for me. ”

Everyone laughed, and couldn't help but make fun of the youngest comrade-in-arms in the class, but there was a lot of worry in their eyes.

"Listen to me, ...... Two...... Three, rush~" After the squad leader counted, the loach really bounced out like a loach, and what made people amazing was that the running route was a special 'zhi' word.

"Dog's day, it's all at this time, and it's still showing......"

scolded and scolded, saying that it was too late and that was fast, leaving a rain of arrows behind the loach, and if he hadn't changed his route several times, I was afraid that he would have really become a hedgehog.

The squad leader and the brothers are still in the mood to flirt, the short dozen steps are as if they have been closed in the ghost gate, as bystanders, they can all see that they are in a cold sweat, not to mention the parties.

The loach crawled into the wooden door in front of him, and several sharp arrows in front of the door were still shaking their tails to protest at him, which made him feel irritated.

After moving his still swinging legs to inspect the house, he reflexively made a safe gesture to his comrades, and then used a bench to fix the wooden door in an open position, blocking some arrow rain as much as possible, which was better than nothing.

"Everyone's seen it?" asked the squad leader.

"I saw it all. ”

At this time, the third cannon was destroyed, and there was a grunting sound of celebration on the second floor opposite, which sounded more like naked sarcasm in everyone's ears, but the obsession and anger in their hearts could not be controlled.

"Dog, Niang's miscellaneous pieces, tits, dogs and Erlai are responsible for supporting the shield, and the rest of the people are grouped together in turn to follow up on the left side, not fast or slow, try to rely on the shield to cover. Whoever falls, you don't care, target the three guns on the second floor, and take it at any cost. ”

The squad leader formed a fist with his right hand and swung it a few times.

Seeing his resoluteness, everyone also knew that the matter had reached an urgent juncture, and every minute of delay would cause the enemy's artillery to succeed for a while, and the price would be the lives of their comrades, so they all nodded heavily.

"The old rule, each group has two breaths in between, and the first group listens to my command and rushes. ”

"The second group, rushing ...... Dogs!"

The dog fell to the ground, he was hit by an arrow in the leg, and the moment he fell to the ground, he lost the cover of his shield, and his whole body was full of arrows, and he was gone without even screaming.

"The third group, rush. ”

The squad leader had red eyes, watched his teammates pick up the flipped shields with their hands, and felt a little relieved, so he shouted for the third group to set off.

"In the fourth group, we rush. ”

Perhaps the enemy figured out the mascot's routine, and when the last group rushed out, the rain of arrows was more dense than ever, and the worst thing was that there were several crossbow arrows mixed in it.

The anti-shield warrior who held the shield nicknamed 'Little Artillery' directly led the shield to the ground, and he only had to breathe.

The squad leader knew that without the cover of the shield, and without the agility and speed of the loach, he stopped his body at the moment when the small artillery fell, and threw himself back and came to the body of the small artillery, and was shot through by the crossbow arrow.

"Squad leader, you, you take the shield and go first, let's, let's ......"

The small artillery was the second subordinate to die at the moment.

For the task, the squad leader roared, knocked the shield out from under the crossbow arrow, and staggered to the east to run towards his comrades who were looking forward to the east.

Arriving in the opposite room, the Loaches had cleared a wave of enemy search parties and taken control of the stairs leading to the second floor.

The squad leader looked at the remaining six people, gestured, and dived towards the staircase.

Eighteen bundles of grenades were thrown up the second floor where the artillery was still firing in a few breaths, and the loaches jumped down reflexively as if fleeing for their lives, and hurriedly hid in the corner, and then there was a wave of shaking, and the second floor collapsed.

Captain Jia of the Marine Corps saw that the third squad had cleared the enemy battery, so he used artillery to open the way, rushed out of the building on the west side of the street, occupied the east side of the street, and then hit directly outside the west wall of the city lord's mansion in one go.

There were marks left by crickets, and the Marines rested on the spot and built fortifications.

"Cough, cough ......" coughed, the squad leader pulled off the dust on his head and face, looked around, and shouted: "Loach,, two lepers?"

"Squad leader. The lifted the plank from nowhere and answered.

"Squad leader, I'm here. This was the response of Er Lai and several other comrades-in-arms.

"Where's the loach?" the squad leader had a bad premonition in his heart, and his voice changed.

"Squad leader, the loach is here, he, it's not good. ”

Everyone cleared the obstacle with all their hands, but saw that the dusty loach had stopped breathing, and a gravel on its neck had cut off its trachea, and it was hopeless.

"Dog, you dare to go first before Lao Tzu teaches you a lesson, you are disobedient, Lao Tzu wants you to go to a military court...... Hurry up and hear it, or I'll cut you first, I order you, get up...... You haven't married Shui Ling's daughter-in-law yet, why don't you just leave......"

"Squad leader, he can't get up from the loach, let's take him back, there are dogs and small artillery. ”

Two lines of tear stains cut two small rivers across the face of the squad leader in his early thirties, and the rivers became a little winding due to the dust.

"I promised his father to take him back, I promised!"

The crowd was silent, silently dressed up the loach, found a wooden plank and put it on, and everyone carried him and the other two back to the headquarters in the west.

After George in the inner city learned that the Western Front had failed, he was anxious for a while, and hurriedly asked, "What about the other party's losses?"

The person replied: "Commander, the enemy suffered nearly 100 casualties, and also damaged three artillery pieces, and there are not a few who are slightly injured. ”

Minor injuries often mean that the wound is infected and dies, although the results are not large, but compared with the past, it is not small.

3,000 people plus 3 artillery pieces, in exchange for 100 people and 3 artillery pieces on the other side, plus the number of people who died of serious injuries in the follow-up, it is not too much of a loss for your side.

The inner city is the meat grinder, and he is confident that he will reduce the battle loss ratio, even if it is only half, the mascot will not be able to bear it.

That is, it was a little more realistic to be beaten by auspiciousness several times, if it was placed in the first war between the two sides, such a result could force George to commit suicide to apologize.

Both sides are deploying troops, recovering strength, and expecting the other side to make mistakes, and the real battle has just begun.
