Chapter 767: Opening a canal to release water

Holy Dragon Army, Command.

When the time came to the tenth day, Augustus had completely lost his mind.

He never imagined that he would be forced into such a situation by a small rebel army.

Send a large number of troops to patrol, and there is a risk that patrol squads will be killed by a variety of strange methods 24 hours a day. Don't look at the loss of only a few people at a time, the whole city adds up to an astronomical amount.

If you don't send out patrol teams to maintain law and order, you can't do it.

The reason is very simple, if there is no patrol team to monitor the entire city, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up the city to the Dragon Slayer Organization? I am afraid that the Dragon Slayer Organization will wait for this opportunity to continue to grow and drive them out of the city completely.

"This damn guerrilla tactic!"

Augustus doesn't know how many times he cursed this sentence.

It is precisely because of this tactic that their elite army and huge high-level armed forces have nowhere to use their strength, and this feeling of being obviously above the enemy's strength, but not having the slightest room to play, makes him directly crazy.

"It can't go on like this. ”

Augustus did not dare to underestimate this rebel army, and he began to realize the seriousness of the situation, and if he was careless, the defeat of the war was already a foregone conclusion.

So what should I do?

It is not without ways to deal with guerrilla tactics.

To sum it up, there are nothing more than two -

One is to gain the support of the civilian population, so that the members of the rebel group have nowhere to hide, no matter where they go, and on the premise of gaining the hearts and minds of the people, the members of the rebel group can only sit and wait for death.

But this approach clearly doesn't work.

As the Legion Leader, he is a wurmite, and he can use force and policy to temporarily pacify civilians and put the human army to work for them, but of course humans will choose humans who are also rebel groups compared to real humans.

Plus last time he chose to be executed publicly.

This puts him on the opposite side of the civilians of Gasiri City, and there is no possibility of reconciliation forever, which makes it even more unlikely that the civilians will betray the rebel group and support the Holy Dragon Army instead.

The so-called guerrilla tactics.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a struggle for the hearts and minds of the people, and the side that gains the hearts of the people will surely win, and the side that loses the hearts of the people will lose.

Therefore, in the case of not being able to win the hearts and minds of the people, the only way left to deal with guerrilla tactics is only one -

Slash them all.

As long as the civilians in the city are slaughtered, then there is no popular will, and the members of the rebel groups cannot rely on the civilians to hide their figures.

This is a strategy of last resort.

In the beginning, Augustus had rejected this idea in his heart, because if the massacre was carried out, it would be tantamount to declaring that 'racial equality' was simply a piece of paper, and no one would choose to believe the promise of the wurms.

But today, this terrible thought rose again in the depths of Augustus's heart.

Because this is the only way he is capable of doing it, and it is also the simplest and crudest way, if he does not choose this method, he can only give up the city of Gasiri and give it to the rebel organization, which is equivalent to simply admitting that he is inferior to others.

He can forgive himself for losing to Vega.

But what he couldn't allow was to lose to an obscure rebel group and the leader of the dragon-slaying organization before losing to Vega, which was a humiliation for Augustus.

Wealth and danger are sought.

Augustus chose to take a gamble, and he had to use the only remaining solution.

However, before the official slaughter of the city began, Augustus first issued an order to the whole city-

"Within seven days, all the personnel, except the army, will be withdrawn from the city of Gasili. ”

"After seven days, the army will purge the dishonored ones. ”

The meaning of the announcement is already very obvious, those who take the initiative to leave Gasili City, let them live, and choose the civilians who stay, of course, to kill them on the spot.

Augustus saw it very thoroughly.

If the city of Gasiri is a pond and the rebels are the fish, then the civilians are the water on which the rebels live.

As long as a ditch is opened and all the water and fish in the pond are drained, won't there be any rebels against them? They can use this city of Gasili to continue to fight the Jialan army.

In this case, once the civilians disobey the order, then it is reasonable for the Holy Dragon Army to massacre civilians, and it does not mean that the Holy Dragon Army has personally tore up the 'racial equality' policy promulgated by itself.

This kind of petty trick of pretending to be innocent has been played badly, but it is still applicable.

So can the civilians of the city of Gasily agree to such a thing?

Apparently not.

Not to mention that the city of Gasiri is their hometown, and it is also the foundation of their survival, if tens of millions of people leave the city, then 90% of the people will probably starve to death in the wild.

Because no matter which city, there is no capital to take over more than 10 million people.

The greatest possibility is that the cities will close their gates and shut them out, and they will end up with corpses all over the field.

This is tantamount to an indirect slaughter of the city!

When Vega saw this announcement, he immediately realized that Augustus was finally going to end the war with his own hands.

He immediately asked the members of the organization to guide public opinion, so that the civilians realized that leaving the city was definitely a matter of death without a place to be buried, and there was still a chance of survival if they stayed and fought against the enemy.

"Protest, protest, protest!"

"This is our city of Gasili!"

"This is our hometown, and you have no right to let us leave!"

“......”

Civilians held high banners and staged demonstrations near the Holy Dragon Army's garrison.

They blocked the gates of the barracks and tried to get Ocastas to reclaim their fate, it was a matter of life and death, and they could not take a step back in such a matter, and the slightest concession would be a death for them.

Until this moment.

No one in the entire city of Gasiri believed in any equal treaties, and the Holy Dragon Army had completely lost the hearts of the people.

At this time, someone raised his arms and shouted, and he could even directly start a war.

Vega knew that this was a good time, but he thought that it was still not the perfect time, and that only by bloodletting these civilians could they really arouse their blood.

The Holy Dragon Army was very much in line with Vega's inner thoughts.

With the idea of making an example of the monkeys, they intended to let the civilians of the city know their determination to make this announcement, so they sent a regiment of mages to cast their magic on the civilians who dared to demonstrate near the barracks, and for a time the flames soared into the sky, killing and injuring countless people.

"Run!"

The flames and blood terrified the civilians.

Under the suppression of force, the civilians who had demonstrated scattered and fled.

The next day, these civilians who were lucky enough to escape began to add fuel to the propaganda of this matter, which plunged the entire city of Gasiri into despair, and they seemed to understand that the Holy Dragon Army was ready to move seriously this time.
