XLVII. The Battle of Hogsmeade (Part I)
Strictly speaking, in Sir Roderick's jihua, there was no idea of fighting with the delegations of Hogsmeade - no putsch would actively provoke an irrelevant foreign shili and increase their resistance when a military coup was carried out...... Unless there's really no way around it.
At least in the eyes of Sir Roderick before the operation, the foreign delegation in Hogsmeade was still one of those who could not be provoked.
In Sir Lord's view, as long as he sent troops to block the two main roads connecting Hogsmeade to the outside world, set up roadblocks, and then set up loudspeakers to inform his side of the coup goals, and asked the delegations of various countries not to talk nonsense...... Those foreigners should just wait and see what happens, and make a rational choice.
In fact, before splitting up, he did give orders to the large army responsible for suppressing the village.
However, Sir Roderick accidentally forgot a very serious problem - now the armed Liliang under his command is not only the former wizards of the Ministry of Magic who he has brought with him, but also the mercenaries of the United Kingdom Security Company and the militants of the "Knights of Nelson".
In addition, in order to ensure the success of the main goal of raiding Hogwarts Castle, Sir Roderick took a large part of the mercenaries, who were relatively more disciplined and equipped and better equipped than Haode, to attack Hogwarts Castle, which he had envisioned to be heavily guarded and fortified. As for the secondary task of suppressing Hogsmeade, it had to be left to the undisciplined militants of the "Knights of Nelson".
What's worse is that Sir Roderick is not the boss who has long led these white supremacist extremist mobs. And it was only before the departure from England that these mercenaries and the militants of the "Nelson Knights" were temporarily taken over, which is really not prestigious. So. Although he considered himself the supreme commander of the raid, Sir Roderick was merely a guide to the terrain in the eyes of the violent men.
The straw that broke the camel's back was that as an extremely xenophobic organization, the "Nelson Knights" have always been quick to kill people of color. However, the foreign delegation in Hogsmeade was full of East Asian yellows, African blacks and Arabs.
So, when the suppression forces arrived near the village of Hogsmeade. I happened to meet a few black men who drove out for a ride in a small pickup truck and were wrapped in patterned headscarves, and they took off their pants and played "wild wave battles" with a few other cheap street girls. Immediately, someone raised their guns and opened fire in disregard.
Next, the sound of gunfire and the howling of the ghosts of the blacks who had been shot drew the Scottish guards of Hogsmeade, leading to a brief exchange of fire.
Although the Scottish guards were only armed with pistols. It lasted less than five minutes. It was routed from the intersection by thugs armed with automatic rifles, submachine guns and light armored vehicles. But after all, it still succeeded in blocking the opponent's movements, exposing the attackers' tracks, and also alerting the people of the village in advance, and also threw triangular nails on the road during the retreat to delay the enemy's progress.
As a result, a night raid that was supposed to be lightning fast turned into a frontal assault with open flames.
Although Sir Roderick, who was far away at Hogwarts Castle to clear out the remnants of the enemy, a moment later he could faintly hear gunfire and explosions in the direction of Hogsmeade Village. And immediately angrily ordered a reprimand, demanding a ceasefire as soon as possible. Disengage, maintain a peaceful blockade, and avoid further casualties.
But the problem is that this order of his has been converted into instructions by the secretary when it was issued, and then it has been turned into a request by the messenger, and then it has been turned into a suggestion by the messenger of the main force, and when Zuihou reaches the ears of the front-line officers, it has become an inquiry, and the commanders of the front line immediately replied in unison that the fighting in Hogsmeade has broken out, and there is no unilateral cease-fire, please wait for the good news of victory......
As a result, a bloody battle broke out in full swing, and neither the attacker nor the attacked had any way out.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
At the same time, the village of Hogsmeade, which was raided, was already in a boiling place, and everyone was frightened by the sound of gunfire.
ββ¦β¦ What the hell is attacking this place and shooting and killing people without saying a word? Minister Potter, we need an explanation! β
In the chaotic bar venue, Wang Qiu banged on the table in shock and anger, and said to the British Minister of Magic, David Brown. Potter and Harry, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic. Gordon questioned, "...... The enemy even drove out armored vehicles, oh my God! Is this in the UK or in Africa? β
The next moment, without waiting for David. Chancellor Potter and Harry. Permanent Undersecretary Gordon explained, and a new round of blows followed:
ββ¦β¦ Rumble! Phew-"
With a loud roar, an RPG rocket slashed an orange tail flame in the night sky, screaming into the screaming shack on the edge of Hogsmeade Village, shattering the sturdy house in an instant.
With the violent explosion, the earth also shook violently, and several ceramic and marble statues placed on both sides of the street also collapsed one after another in the violent ground tremor, and the surrounding wooden houses also made a creaking sound of unbearable torture.
A piece of wood with a volley of flames flew sideways, and it also smashed into the back of a runaway on the street, shooting him a few meters away in an instant, and then he fell limply on the cobblestone pavement, gurgling a large pool of blood, and the whole person never moved again.
- Wang Qiu suddenly remembered that next to the back door of this screaming shack, it seemed to be a gas station......
In the face of such a sudden and tragic catastrophe, Davy. Chancellor Potter was completely stunned, and all he knew was sitting motionless at the wine table, his legs trembling as if they were sifting chaff. Harry. Permanent Vice Secretary Gordon was still a little anxious, and after being stunned for a moment, he quickly dragged a wired telephone from the corner, picked up the microphone and talked briefly. Then his face became even paler, but he still replied to Wang Qiu strongly.
ββ¦β¦ We're sorry, but we don't know who the enemy is at the moment. It is only known that they are wearing relatively regular field uniforms, and there are many of them, at least hundreds of militants, who are coming from two directions at this time, blocking both roads into the village......
Harry. Permanent Undersecretary Gordon put down the corded phone and said with an anxious expression, "...... There were only thirty guards in the village of Hogsmeade. In addition to pistols, the only equipment on his body was electric batons and pepper spray, and at most a few shotguns. And the enemy has automatic rifles and light armored vehicles, as well as RPG bazookas...... So. I'm sorry, but this place will soon be untenable, so please split up and evacuate! β
- Suddenly, it was as if a stone had been thrown into a pond. The fierce waves immediately spread in the "Three Brooms" bar venue.
ββ¦β¦ What the hell is going on? Terrorist attacks? Or did other countries invade Britain? β
ββ¦β¦ When did law and order in Britain get so bad? β
ββ¦β¦ Can British terrorists drive armored vehicles? And also delusional to kidnap the whole shijie so many countries of the supernatural people? β
ββ¦β¦ Whew! Whoa! Whoa? Whew! Whoa! β
ββ¦β¦ Can you change the language to which people can understand? Dear Grand Druiverny! We don't understand what you're saying!! β
ββ¦β¦ Whew! I'm sorry. I've been in the circus for too long, and I'm not used to speaking English. "A certain fat Scottish bear druid, scratching his head with a bear's paw with some embarrassment," ...... What I want to ask is, don't we use the tunnels in the village to escape to Hogwarts Castle? It is located on a cliff, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it should be much stronger than this village that has no danger to defend! β
ββ¦β¦ This one...... It's a pity. Our Hogwarts Castle ...... I'm afraid it's fallen now. "Harry. Permanent Undersecretary Gordon replied with a pale face, "...... Just when a shooting broke out at the intersection of Hogsmeade Village. A Zuihou distress call came from Hogwarts Castle. But before the helper could finish his words, he was interrupted by gunshots, and there was no contact at all. β
ββ¦β¦ In this way, we have only one way to choose from immediately dispersing and breaking out? Or do you stay here and expect kindness from the enemy? β
Wang Yao stood up, "...... Not to mention how far we can run in this kind of black light and unfamiliar situation, whether we will fall to death and get lost. Even if we hid in the surrounding forests and pastures, we didn't know where to turn for help. Not to mention that the enemy may have set up an ambush in the mountains, but only to avoid casualties did not attack, at this time waiting for us to disperse and break through, and then pull the net to search, and break through each one! β
ββ¦β¦ It is true that it is naturally dangerous for us to want to break out of the siege while the night is falling now, but the problem is that if we want to expect the kindness and courtesy of the enemy, I am afraid it is even more unreliable...... Just by looking at their style of shooting and killing people without warning, you know that the enemy is not a good stubble! β
A vampire hunter from Latin America stood up, pointed to the black man who was covered in blood and still struggling to drive back to warn him, "...... I don't think we should put our lives in the hands of the enemy, no matter what happens! In the recent kidnapping of terrorists on Shijie, which one did the terrorists not start massacring hostages en masse before the rescue forces attacked? If at most half of those who run away at night may die, then the mortality rate of staying here is even higher than eighty percent in my opinion! β
After listening to the warning of the Latin American vampire hunters, the people of various countries in the "Three Broomsticks" bar began to talk again.
ββ¦β¦ That's right, it's not a declaration of war between countries, and no one will pay attention to any prisoner of war convention......"
ββ¦β¦ Yes, it is better to expect pigs to fly than to expect terrorists to be humanitarian...... So let's run now! β
ββ¦β¦ However, if the enemy had already set up an ambush outside the village, set up individual bunkers at various commanding heights, and arranged snipers equipped with infrared night vision devices, then we would have rushed out so recklessly, wouldn't we have sent ourselves to the door as targets? β
ββ¦β¦ Even then, it's better than staying in the village and waiting to die! β
β¦β¦
After some brief discussion and consideration, the majority of the people were in favor of the decision to disperse the breakout.
ββ¦β¦ Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Ladies and gentlemen, Do you really want to be cowards? Just as everyone was about to disperse and go their separate ways, the first vampire true ancestor of Shijie today. The blonde Lori Margaret suddenly jumped up and scolded fiercely, "...... My God! Just a quarter of an hour ago, you were all talking with great interest about conquering a new shijie. But now, he doesn't even have the courage to fight, so he wants to run away with his tail between his legs? What a disappointment you cowards! β
ββ¦β¦ Hey, ignorant vampire girl. No one here is a coward, and no one is afraid of battle. β
Balalaika, a werewolf in Southeast Asia, plucks a cigarette from her mouth and puffs out a smoke ring. He sighed and said, "...... As time travelers, we have all experienced countless battles and bloodbaths ourselves. For example, I used to fight lions and tigers in the gladiatorial arena of ancient Rome. Fight against the invincible Mongol expedition in the Hungarian steppe. Not long ago, I had just suppressed a military coup d'Γ©tat in Tokyo, Japan...... And other people's war experience in Shijie places and even in other time and space, I'm afraid it won't be too little......
But the problem is that at that time, we who crossed the wormhole to break into the other world were all trying to arm ourselves to the teeth, but now we don't even have a gun! Do you want me to transform into a werewolf and then use my claws and teeth to bite the enemy's armored vehicles? β
In the face of this righteous and stern defense, the vampire true ancestor Margaret was speechless for a while. But Wang Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up:
ββ¦β¦ Wait, Sister Balalaika. You just said that as long as there are arms, you can fight here? β
He took out the wormhole that connected the ancient Egyptian shijie from his suitcase and whispered, "...... I have a shipment of munitions just across the wormhole......"
ββ¦β¦ Oh? Do you have arms? There was a look of surprise in the werewolf's eyes, "...... How many? What are the types? β
ββ¦β¦ 6,000 Type 56 automatic rifles, 100,000 grenades with wooden handles, 600 Type 40 rocket launchers, 120 Type 107 rocket launchers, 2.3 million rounds of ammunition, and thousands of sets of body armor and electric batons......," Wang Qiu replied with his fingers crossed...... These things were originally intended to be used to conquer the Mediterranean Shijie and destroy the Roman legions. But even now, it should be able to come in handy! β
ββ¦β¦ Enough is enough! With these things, it's enough for us to have a big fight and teach those sneak bastards a good lesson! β
After listening to this jaw-dropping series of figures, Sister Balalaika immediately jumped up excitedly, jumped onto a table, and slapped her face vigorously, "...... Smack! Ladies and gentlemen! Please be quiet, and listen to me, just now everyone was in favor of dispersing and breaking out because there were no weapons around them, and they couldn't defeat those heavily armed enemies. However, this Chinese comrade Wang Qiu happened to be in the ancient Egyptian royal palace opposite the wormhole, with a large number of automatic rifles, grenades, bazookas, and rocket artillery! It only takes a few minutes to teleport! β
At this point, she paused slightly, looked around at the people in the bar, and then slowly continued.
ββ¦β¦ So, it's time to make your choice! Ladies and gentlemen, You will choose to continue to run away separately and be chased like dogs; Or do you want to take up arms and be a hero for once, even if it's only for one night? Who wants to fight alongside me? β
With this provocative remark, Balalaika pulled Wang Qiu while scanning back and forth with sharp eyes, making everyone feel very stressed.
ββ¦β¦ his grandma, whoever wants to run away can run away, our masters in Sijiu City are definitely going to fight here! β
After a moment of silence, a member of the Alien Demolition Team from Beijing looked at Wang Qiu and sighed, and was the first to stand up and express his determination.
ββ¦β¦ It's been a day~ The red guys in Beijing are so backbone, and the people of Ala Shanghai will not be bad. β
ββ¦β¦ Into his immortal board dripping, Lao Tzu Chongqing babies are not cowardly. β
ββ¦β¦ Harbin ball day drop, we Shaanxi people can also play. β
ββ¦β¦ Sun damn it, Shanxi people are not a bad breed. β
ββ¦β¦ A zebra drop, we Hubei people are not cowards when they are killed. β
β¦β¦
With these shouts, the comrades of the "Chinese Alien Circles Delegation" first expressed their determination to participate in the war. And the large number of vampire hunters, in order to fully demonstrate their combat value, also expressed their willingness to participate in the war. Scotland's druids and Mashiro Totoi's Japanese bodyguards are also not going to stay out of the way. And the minions brought by Balalaika were so excited that they rushed to be the first to hear about the war, and no one was willing to back down. As for the strangers from other countries, regardless of their thoughts, they feel that it is always good to be able to mix a gun, and they also express their willingness to participate in the battle.
Zuihou, only the twelve Hindu goddesses who had just been bought by the British Ministry of Magic were still poked there like wood, and there was no response.
ββ¦β¦ If you don't want to participate in the battle, you can retreat to the ancient Egyptian plane on the other side of the wormhole, and I believe that Queen Cleopatra will definitely entertain you. After glancing at these indifferent Indian goddesses, Wang Qiu sighed and announced to everyone, "...... Prepare for battle, I'll cross over to the other side and teleport the first batch of automatic rifles, bullets, and bazookas! (To be continued......)
