Chapter 24: Stubborn Resistance to the End
readx;
The sudden appearance of the squad leader and his crazy posture frightened the orc soldiers at the head of the city, but when they immediately found that the squad leader only had half a breath left, and he was alone, they immediately became angry again, and they didn't want the officers to order at the moment, and the orc soldiers grabbed their bows and arrows and crossbows and shot at the squad leader!
The squad leader fell without any suspense, although his chest was full of all kinds of arrows, but he did not let go of the hand holding the guide ~ fire until he died!
The lead~ fire did not live up to the will of the team leader, after his sacrifice, it still burned firmly and quickly, first burning to the place where the team leader was holding, and then continuing to burn down his palm, and finally submerged into the pit filled with a large amount of explosives!
"Boom !!"
A loud thunderous sound suddenly sounded, and it spread far and wide in the silent night!
After the smoke and dust and earth and rocks produced by the explosion fell, looking at the section of the city wall, a huge gap of more than three meters wide had already appeared at this time, and the orc soldiers on the original city wall had turned into countless small pieces of flesh and blood, scattered everywhere near the gap!
Chen Haonan, commander of the First Infantry Division, stood on the watchtower of the camp, holding a telescope and looking at the place where the explosion occurred just now, and smiled a little helplessly: "The plan can't catch up with the changes, it seems that the attack is going to be advanced!" ”
The political commissar of the division on the side nodded in agreement, if they didn't attack immediately at this time, by the dawn of the next day, the beasts would be able to make some remedies for the gap in the city wall, and in that case, they didn't know how many lives they would have to fill in!
"The soldiers all have infrared imagers, and night fighting is not a big problem. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Haonan muttered to himself, and began to use his authority to give orders to the whole division:
"The siege plan originally scheduled for tomorrow was advanced, and the whole division immediately set out of the camp and lined up, preparing to attack the city!"
After receiving this mass order, the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division, who were originally busy with their own affairs in the virtual reality, did not dare to slack off, and immediately withdrew from the virtual reality and returned to the real world.
In less than 20 minutes, the 1st Infantry Division of the Imperial Army, with more than 10,000 men, was completed and marched out of the camp in order under the leadership of officers at all levels.
Chen Haonan had already gotten off the watchtower at this time, came to the outside of the military village, and saw that the Second Infantry Regiment had completed the formation first, so he pulled out the saber on his waist, and came to the front of the Second Infantry Regiment and shouted loudly: "Zhaoliang City has been opened a big hole by the engineer brothers, and now it has become a place where the beasts and us must fight, whoever takes it there first will be able to decide the victory or defeat of this siege battle, time is not waiting, brothers, follow Lao Tzu, make meritorious contributions, at this time!" ”
The soldiers of the Second Infantry Regiment were boiled by Chen Haonan's words, and under the leadership of the regiment commander, they couldn't wait to rush towards the gap!
Chen Haonan also wanted to follow with his saber, but was stopped by his political commissar dragging his thigh......
"Let go of me, Lao Zheng, what are you doing here?!" Chen Haonan said with an annoyed face.
"Lao Chen, do you still have the face to ask me?!" Even if he was dragged away by the other party, Comrade Political Commissar still hugged Chen Haonan's thigh and refused to let go, "Have you read all the books you have read in the Heavenly Military Academy over the years?" As the commander of the first army, how can there be any reason to go to the front line?! ”
Chen Haonan is not unaware of this truth, on the contrary, as a senior officer with excellent grades, he knows this very well, but after all, he was mixed with society in his early years, and some habits cultivated on the street cannot be changed no matter what, and this pioneer is one of them.
"Alas! If I knew that I wouldn't be promoted, I would be a big-headed soldier who rushed when he wanted to, and killed if he wanted to, wouldn't he be happier than this bird division commander?! Chen Haonan sighed and regretted not doing what he did at the beginning.
Seeing that Chen Haonan finally gave up, Political Commissar Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some tears and laughter: "Everyone who is a soldier wants to be a general, but you, who are a general, want to be a big soldier, what's wrong with this!" ”
Chen Haonan just kept his face calm and didn't speak, and took the words of the political commissar as a deaf ear.
……
At the same time, the hall of the mansion of Bai Keqiu, the governor of Shannan.
"Lord, lord, it's not good! The barbarians are going to fight in the city! A blackened fox soldier ran in with a panicked face.
Bai Keqiu was frightened by the loud noise just now, he only felt that the situation was a little bad, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, at this time, when he heard that the army of Buchen was about to enter the city, his face immediately turned blue, he walked to him in a few steps, grabbed the soldier's neck and asked: "Although Zhaoliang is not a big city, but there are also five-zhang high city walls, the barbarians can kill into the city, will they fly?" ”
"Lord Wang, the barbarians can't fly, but they can blow up the wall!" The soldier snapped.
"Blowing up the wall? Could it be that loud bang just now...... Bai Keqiu asked in disbelief.
The soldier nodded: "I don't know how much gunpowder the barbarians used, but they blew a gap more than three meters wide in the city wall in one fell swoop, and at this time the barbarians are driving out of the city, it seems that they want to attack the city at night!" ”
"Damn brute!"
Bai Keqiu's hateful teeth are about to be crushed, for resisting Buchen's "aggression", whether it is a big strategy or a small tactical idea, he is around Gongde Duchi's defense of the city, and uses the human people in the city as hostages to coerce Buchen to throw a rat trap, but he doesn't want Buchen's siege methods to be so sharp, he can easily blow up the solid turtle shell, this is still a spicy city!
"Have you seen Luha? It's just a lizard-tribe orc that changes color. Bai Keqiu suddenly remembered a person, the reason why he hadn't slept now, but stayed in the court, was because he had sent a chameleon lizard tribe orc out of the city before, wanting to fight to see if he could sneak into the enemy camp to assassinate Buchen.
Although he didn't know why Bai Keqiu suddenly asked about this person, the soldier still replied honestly: "Back to the prince, I haven't seen it, but according to the people who survived the explosion just now, there was a sudden sound of fighting and shouting under the city wall before, and they would go over to check!" ”
The explosives planted by the sappers of the 1st Division blew up even the city walls, how could the nearby corpses survive? Naturally, the soldier could not see the corpse of the chameleon Luha, because the corpse had long since turned to pulp......
"That's it, that's it! Luha went out of the city and found Xiao Thief's demolition team, which disrupted their plan, so Xiao Thief's demolition team will detonate the explosives in advance, and Xiao Thief's army will launch a siege war in advance! Bai Keqiu muttered to himself, not knowing whether to be happy or sad about Luha's performance.
The soldier didn't care about the truth of the explosion just now, but was very worried about the current battle situation: "Lord Wang, now the barbarians are estimated to have rushed in through the gap, and the brothers on duty in the city can't stop them, what should we do?" ”
"What should I do?" Bai Keqiu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his heart, and said with a hideous face: "What else can I do?" Swear to live and die with Zhaoliang, fight street battles with human barbarians, and see who can fight whom! ”
The soldier was a little dissatisfied with this order, which was completely equivalent to suicide, but he was just a pawn, and he was not qualified to question Bai Keqiu's order at all, so he only hesitated slightly, then agreed, and ran back to the front line to deliver the order.
"Gather all the people in the city, let half of them go to the gap in the city wall to block the attack, and the other half of the people hurry up and set up barricades in the city." After the soldier left, Bai Keqiu instructed his guards again, what he just said about living and dying with Zhaoliang was not a joke, but really planned to do so!
After receiving the order, the nearly 70,000 orc troops in the city immediately moved with far more efficiency than usual - at this time, the orcs in the city understood that the time had come to fight hard!
It didn't take much effort for the 2nd Infantry Regiment to seize control of the breach and launch an attack on the city, but it didn't take long for them to feel strong resistance, and groups of orc troops drove from all over the city, and fought with them in the streets and alleys with blood-red eyes!
Although Buchen and his senior staff had anticipated this situation early on, and had equipped the soldiers with hand~ grenades, shotguns and other street fighting equipment before the expedition, it was still quite tricky to face the beast army that had a physical advantage and was not afraid of death!
Even if many orc soldiers were beaten into a hornet's nest by the Xia bullet, they would still rush up desperately, and while using their last bit of strength to exchange the life of a human soldier, they also used their bodies to provide cover for their companions behind!
Although the Imperial Army was not weaker than the red-eyed Orc Army at this time in terms of its will to fight, it was inevitable that it would fall into a bitter battle in the face of an enemy army that dared to fight by piling up human lives!
"Kill the beast captives, go to heaven!"
"Kill the barbarians, protect the court!"
In this way, the two sides shouted their respective slogans in the narrow streets and alleys, and strangled in one place regardless of their lives!
