Chapter 331: Occupy Xizhou!
The sound of gunfire in the east continued.
Looking up at the flickering "flame" in the night sky, he stood on the rock tooth next to a raft and muttered silently.
“…… Haven't you finished the fight yet? ”
Something must have gone wrong, right?
Just as he was distraught, a raft floated at the mouth of the alley to the east.
Looking at the man standing on the raft, who was the centurion under his command, Yanya's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
The raft came to shore.
Without waiting for the cronies who had come down from the raft to stand firm, Yanya grabbed him by the shoulders and asked anxiously.
"How's it going? Who won? ”
"The new league won...... They have already captured the command. The centurion replied at once.
"Where's the Golden Tooth?" Rock Tooth continued to ask, "What about others?" Caught it? ”
The centurion swallowed.
"Dead!"
Rock Fang: "Are you sure?!" ”
The centurion nodded vigorously and said in a nervous tone.
"Sure! I saw it with my own eyes! New Union shells burrowed through holes in the wall, and explosions were heard inside...... Not only was the Golden Tooth killed, but the apostles sent by the Torch Church were also killed! ”
Hearing this, Yanya's hanging heart finally let go, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Great."
Looking at the rock tooth with a happy face, the centurion who saw the corpse of the golden tooth with his own eyes, his expression was a little complicated at the moment.
That tyrant is dead.
The war is finally over.
However, it ended in their defeat.
Although the New Alliance promised that they would be treated differently than ordinary captives, that still didn't change the fact that they were captives.
As for what the future holds......
I'm afraid only God knows.
Seeing the complicated expressions on his subordinates' faces, Iwaya also began to realize that he was too happy at this time, and it seemed a little inappropriate.
So he coughed dryly and patted the centurion in front of him on the shoulder.
"Don't be too sad, it's the way it is today, it's all because that idiot listened to Dillon's bad idea, and buried all the tanks in a desperate way, it was he who led our tribe to the abyss, and the responsibility for the defeat is not ours."
"Besides, the managers of the new alliance told me in the letter that they lost half of the surrender, so we only lost half."
"That's a good result, hold your chest up, and now we're going to take the captives...... There's nothing to be ashamed of. ”
……
Upon learning of Golden Fang's death, Yanya immediately led more than 1,000 troops under his command to kill the headquarters from the western defense area, and cooperated with the Burning Corps to control the checkpoints and sentry posts on the streets near the headquarters.
Although it meant turning his gun on friendly forces, he had no other way to go.
In order to show his loyalty to the new alliance, Yanya did not hesitate to give the order, opened fire on his fellow tribesmen, and even rushed to the front line of the battlefield to supervise the battle.
At first, his subordinates were a little hesitant, but as the casualties appeared, everyone was also red-eyed, completely putting aside the entanglement in their hearts.
They are predators.
There are no moral constraints or psychological burdens per se.
Attachment to the strong is part of the law of the jungle.
"Yanya, are you crazy?!"
Yunya, who was urging his subordinates to attack forward, saw Yanya standing behind the opposite bunker in the firelight, and an expression like insanity suddenly appeared on his face.
Facing his former comrades, although Yanya's face was a little unbearable, it only lasted for half a second.
"It's useless to talk too much, now it's all the fool to blame...... Surrender! The Golden Tooth is dead! ”
"Already...... He's dead? ”
A hint of disbelief and horror appeared in Yunya's eyes, but it was replaced by deep hatred and anger, and he opened his voice and roared.
"Never!"
Yan Ya no longer concealed it, completely let go of his reserve, set up a machine gun and fired at the bunker at the other end of the street, shouting with a torn face.
"Then give Lao Tzu a death!!"
The soldiers of the New Alliance pulled out the smoke grenades, and one of the runners threw them violently.
The red smoke crossed a distance of nearly 100 meters and landed steadily on the position of Yunya.
Before the marauders could react, a rain of fire from the sky lifted them into the sky, along with the bunkers in front of them.
Looking at the billowing smoke in front of him, Yanya only mourned for half a second in his heart for his former siblings, and then clenched his fists and said fiercely.
"Good fight!"
Don't blame the brothers, go with peace of mind.
We can't help ourselves......
With the death of Yunya, the morale of the thousand-man team under his command instantly fell to the bottom.
In the face of the ferocious firepower of the New Alliance and the Rock Fangs, the remaining marauders were quickly crushed.
And at this moment, the radio sounded in the urban areas around the four new districts.
"I'm the administrator of the Alliance."
"Marauders of the Tooth Clan, your headquarters has been captured, and Skullcrusher Golden Fang was killed on the spot by our soldiers on the way to escape."
"Your defeat is doomed, surrender is your only way out!"
"We will not kill the prisoners, but we will mercilessly eradicate those who resist them!"
Gold Tooth ......
He's dead?
The marauders, who were still heading in the direction of the headquarters, had a dazed and frightened look on their faces.
The moment they heard the news of Goldtooth's death, they felt the entire sky fall.
From the commander to the little minion with a rifle, everyone was confused and didn't know what to do.
On the front line in the southern part of the city, standing next to the apefang, the staff officer from the legion sighed softly.
“…… Surrender, we have already lost. ”
The ape's expression contorted with anger, and he grabbed him by the collar.
"Shut your mouth for me! Who do you think we're where we are today? ”
"You want to say it's because of Dillon, right?" The staff officer said in a sarcastic tone, "It really depends on him...... Putting hope in you was a foolish decision in his life. Kill me if you want, you don't have much time to do it anyway. ”
Ape Fang stared at him with a murderous gaze, but after a long time, he let go of his grip on his collar.
“…… What should I do? ”
"Take your men out and surrender, the new coalition's bombardment of the southern city is clearly only a feint, and their main force is on the west flank. It is better to surrender before they enter the city than to wait for them to come in and then surrender. ”
Ape Tooth swallowed and said nervously.
"But, we don't have any leaflets, and I burned all the flyers I picked up."
Lord Goldtooth ordered that anyone who kept a leaflet would be punished with death, and he did not dare to disobey, and would turn his men's trouser pockets two or three times a day to make sure that there were no traitors in his ranks.
However, listening to this innocent speech, the staff officer just laughed.
"What stupid are you talking about, are you really so obedient to your subordinates? I bet you just shout that the war is over, and they'll be able to put together more than a thousand surrender tickets for you on the spot. ”
The ape's face was blue and white, and his fist clenched and loosened.
After a battle between heaven and man, in the end, the desire to survive prevailed.
Under his order, more than a thousand marauders in the southern city walked out of the bunker with their heads in their hands, and walked towards the positions of the new alliance in batches......
And at this moment, on the position of the new alliance, in front of the trench is the skeleton corps.
"Damn, this is the vote?!"
That's too cowardly, isn't it?
The mole with the telescope in his hand looked at the group of predators who were walking towards this side with their heads in their hands, and couldn't help but curse and complain.
"After all, NPCs only have one life, no shame, no shame."
Holding the wooden lunch box in her hand, Irena said slowly as she chewed.
Seeing that this guy ate so deliciously, the elf Wang Fugui, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and glanced at his lunch box.
"What's this?"
A swarthy shell with a few presumably spice leaves floating on it.
Preliminary judgment, at least cooked.
"Shell shrimp, I went to the lake to catch it, do you want one?" Irena graciously handed him a toothpick.
Although he hesitated, but when he heard that it was a shrimp, the elf king Fugui relaxed his vigilance a little and pricked a thumb-thick shrimp ball with a toothpick.
Anyway, the shape of this shell shrimp is quite chic, he looked at it for a long time and didn't see the shrimp head and tongs, and after hesitating, he finally threw it into his mouth.
emmm……
The taste is unexpectedly okay?
It's just fishy, and it smells like a river.
Watching the good brother rattling and chewing, Irena who was standing aside reminded her.
"Remember to spit out the shell, that thing can't bite, it's weird."
"Prickly? Why did I break when I bit it? The elf king Fugui, who was chewing, was stunned.
Irena was also stunned, her expression suddenly a little embarrassed.
"Uh...... Are you sure you're eating shrimp? ”
The elf king Fugui was dumbfounded on the spot, and his chewing jaw stopped.
"Damn, there's something else in your bowl?"
Irena looked at it delicately.
“…… It's okay, maybe a few snails mixed in, it's not a big problem. ”
"Gross!" Before he finished his words, the elf Wang Fugui, who was holding the car door, had already begun to vomit.
The mole, who put down the binoculars, glanced at the rich man.
“…… If you dare to snatch food from Lao Na's bowl, you are too iron. ”
As soon as she heard this, Irena who was holding the lunch box was suddenly unhappy and protested, "Gan! You say this as if I were not eating human food. ”
The canyon is on the run: "...... What normal human would roast a nematode! ”
"What a nematode, that's called a praying mantis leg! And not all praying mantis have nematodes! ”
While the two were arguing, the marauder with his head in his hands had already walked to the position of the New Alliance.
Liu Ding, who was wearing an exoskeleton, stepped forward with a team of 100 people who were heavily armed and took over the more than 1,000 prisoners in batches.
Except for the marauders above the centurion who remained, they were kept alone in the positions.
The rest were placed in front of the trench of the position, crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands, and waited to be sent to the newly built prisoner of war camp in Qingshi County.
And at the same time, the temporary command post of the new alliance.
Looking at the VM screen, the stiff expression on his face finally stretched a smile.
"It's over."
Vanus looked at him in surprise.
"Command knocked out?"
Chu Guang nodded.
"Well, although there were some deviations in the plan and we didn't capture the Golden Fang alive, the same is true for the recovery of his body."
The reason why the Ya clan was able to rely on tribal rule and maintain an army of tens of thousands was largely due to the personal prestige of the leader himself and the bloody high-pressure rule.
Once the Golden Fang himself died, whether in battle, old age, or disease, the whole tribe would soon fall apart.
Unless a new strongman comes out and presides over the big picture.
But in such a situation, the possibility of this is almost zero.
And with the fall of the Tooth Clan, the Chewing Bone Tribe, which swept the entire River Valley Province, will also come to an end completely......
"In less than two months, a horde of nearly 30,000 marauders was annihilated...... You have done wonders. Vanus couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Guang smiled and said modestly.
"It's not me who makes the miracle, it's the people of the New Alliance."
Vanus looked at him in surprise and nodded thoughtfully after a long time.
"I see."
If so......
Victory is also reasonable.
……
Sporadic firefights continued throughout the night.
As the news of the Golden Fang's death spread, the marauders who heard the broadcast came out of their bunkers one after another, their hands held high, and surrendered in formation.
The sky was white.
The fighting in the main urban areas gradually stopped, and the city of Xizhou finally ushered in the dawn of peace.
Looking at the morning and dusk in the distance, Chu Guang, who was wearing power armor, squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Dingdao who was standing aside.
"How about a new settlement, called Auroville? Or do you have a better idea? ”
Liu Ding thought about it for a long time, but he really didn't have any culture, and in the end he only held back one sentence.
"Good name!"
Chu Guang smiled and waved his right hand forward.
"Forward!"
The 1st Corps stood by on standby.
The Second Corps and the Death, Jungle, and other player corps began to move forward.
The resistance in the city is almost over, but not everyone is happy to vote.
Even though the successive failures and brutal and high-handed methods have brought the vast majority of the Ya Clan's tribe to the limit of patience, there are still stubborn diehards who are willing to fight for the tribe until the last moment.
"These shameful cowards! They betrayed their banners and promises! ”
"Surrender? Hahaha, dreaming! ”
With an angry roar at Rock Fang's men, Foxfang retreated with the remnants of his defeated army into an abandoned commercial center.
Due to the imminent surrender of the defenders in the southern city, he immediately fell into passivity when he went to the southern defense line for reinforcements.
Faced with the situation of isolation and helplessness, there are constantly subordinates who fall behind and flee along the way.
Up to now, the people in his hands have not even made up three teams of hundreds.
Luckily, an ammunition depot is hidden in the underground garage of this abandoned commercial center.
It was stored munitions and supplies for the southern front, capable of holding out for a long time. The solid foundations and surface buildings are well resistant to bombardment and shelling.
If you want to take this ammunition depot, you can only send people in.
Just when Chu Guang was thinking about which corps to hand over this task to, the prisoner who was taken by him as a guide suddenly stepped forward and clasped his fists with both hands.
"Lord Supreme, if you will believe me, please give me this stubborn thorn! I would like to lead my men into the underground garage and bring down this ammunition depot for you! ”
When he said this, the ape's eyes were full of flattery and flattery.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to be a coolie in the mines.
In the wasteland, even being cannon fodder is better than being a coolie.
The former at least has a chance to enjoy the spoils of war and have a chance to turn over, while the latter is a pure cow and horse, and the only end is to work in the mine until death.
Chu Guang originally wanted him to stay cool, but suddenly thought about it, this might be a good opportunity.
When the war was over, he didn't need cannon fodder, but he needed manpower to manage the prisoners of war.
The only good things he had in his hands now seemed to be Rock Fang and his men.
These men had all surrendered their names and pointed their guns at themselves, and it was impossible for them to wear the same pants as other prisoners of war.
However, these people are a faction after all, and it is certainly not appropriate for them to be the overseers entirely.
In order to prevent the middle layer of the prisoner of war camp from being overly united and becoming monolithic, it is necessary to support a "second-in-command" and check and balance each other with the rock teeth.
Thinking of this, Chu Guang looked at Liu Ding who was standing aside.
"Is the thousand-man team that surrendered last night still on our position?"
Liu Ding nodded in reply.
"Yes, it's currently under the care of the 1st Corps."
Chu Guang then looked at the ape tooth.
"I'll send a legion to support you, and I want to see the results before dark."
Ape Fang said ecstatically.
"Thank you for your trust! I promise to bring that foxtooth's head to you! ”
"If you can catch it alive, try to catch it alive." Chu Guang admonished, then waved his hand and let him go.
The Ape Tooth Men had assembled at the door of the underground garage, and the 100-man squad in the vanguard had been armed with captured PU-9 submachine guns, and each had received two magazines from the logistics staff.
Eager to prove his ape teeth, he took the initiative to ask Ying's subordinates to take the lead.
Chu Guang nodded approvingly, and also asked his quartermaster to give the death squad an extra offensive grenade.
At the same time, the 300 players of the Death Corps also received the task of clearing out the remnants of the enemy.
The expansion will enter the points settlement process within 24 hours, which is the last chance to brush points.
The players who received the task were excited one by one, and the players who did not receive the task showed envious expressions.
"Gan! We're also fighting on foot, so why don't we go? ”
"That's it! Shady! ”
"There must be an ulterior py deal behind this!"
", what is a py transaction, this is called letting the professionals come! You know a hammer? Debt-ridden said with a big-eyed hippie smile, already carrying the flamethrower he had borrowed from the Lin Corps.
Walked to the front of the line, paddled on the edge and shouted.
"Brothers, change submachine guns and trolls, bayonets on those who have bayonets, shovels on those without bayonets, and prepare to go into the hole!"
The players of the Death Corps let out a shout of excitement.
"Whoa!"
Looking at the monstrous battle intent, the soldiers who were about to take the lead with submachine guns swallowed their saliva.
Fighting a street fight that is a life to the death can be exciting like this.
Are all these people crazy?
"I'll leave it to them, let's move on."
Separated from the second corps to supervise the battle, Chu Guang waved his hand and continued to advance in the direction of deep into the city with a large army.
The temporary resettlement area for prisoners of war was set up on the site of the Civic Square in the southern part of the Fourth New District.
There is a large open space here, and there is no obstacle to cover it. The theater, located directly north of the square, had a good view, and one machine gun was enough to frame the entire square.
Throughout the night, captives were sent here one after another.
Their casualties were not very serious, except for a few who resisted desperately, many of them were captured by the guerrillas when they fled north, or surrendered with the commanders.
At first, the rock teeth tied them with ropes.
Later, there were too many people to use the rope, so they simply stripped off their animal skin jackets and tore them into strips of leather, which were barely used as ropes and bandages.
The weather in May is not counted, if it were a few months earlier, I am afraid that many people would have frozen to death.
By dawn, the entire square was crowded with black people crouching, filling almost the entire clearing.
Yan Ya and his men stood around the square with loaded guns, a team of ten, looking at the captives who were crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands.
Peeking at the traitors with white cloths wrapped around their arms, the goblin-like captives all gleamed with hatred in their eyes.
But after seeing the soldiers of the new alliance, all those hatreds turned to jealousy and fear.
They were really scared!
“…… Honorable and supreme Administrator, your most loyal servant Iwaya, welcomes you! ”
Seeing the power armor in front of the team, Yanya immediately recognized Chu Guang's identity, and hurriedly put on a flattering smile and took the initiative to greet him.
Chu Guang glanced at the black crowd in the square.
"How many captives are there?"
"21,708 people!" Rock tooth said immediately.
"Are you sure it's the number?"
"Uh, probably...... It may be about a hundred or two hundred. Yanya said in a cold sweat.
Chu Guang smiled faintly, but he didn't embarrass this guy.
In fact, he had already transferred the Hummingbird drone to the sky above the square and asked Xiao Qi to count it for him.
There are a total of 21,573 people, and there are some errors in the statistics, but the errors are not very large.
Some of these prisoners of war were descendants of the Ya clan, and some were from the Eastern Provinces or the Free State of Bugra.
Until they paid for their sins, Chu Guang had no intention of letting them go home.
“…… It is a hidden danger that so many people gather here, and I suggest that they be transported back to Qingshi County in batches for care. Walking next to Chu Guang, Liu Ding whispered.
Chu Guang thought for a while and said.
"I'm afraid the prisoner of war camp in Qingshi County can't accommodate so many people, and our initial expectation was 8,000 to 10,000 prisoners of war, and we didn't build that many houses at all."
The number of captives far exceeded expectations.
He really didn't expect that these people surrendered so quickly, and they didn't even encounter any decent resistance.
"Then ......," Liu Ding's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
The rock tooth standing on the side was too frightened to squeak, and stood there tremblingly.
Chu Guang shook his head slightly.
"There's no need, the mines in Qingshi County need people, and Dawn City needs people. Some people were sent to Qingshi County, and the rest stayed where they were and built their own prisoner of war camps. ”
So many people are a real concern, but it also means an opportunity.
If you want to catch up with the wasteland forces that have been developing for more than a century, you can't be too stable.
Looking at the rock tooth standing aside, Chu Guang continued.
"What about the slaves you have captured besides these captives? And where are the craftsmen who helped you make weapons? ”
Yanya said nervously.
"The slaves and artisans were scattered in the cells of the four new districts...... I arranged for someone to watch. ”
"How many?"
The rock tooth hesitated, obviously not having time to count.
"Probably...... There's a little bit of a 10,000-in-10, ”
"Ten thousand?" Liu Ding was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "How can there be so many?" ”
Yanya closed his mouth nervously, not daring to speak.
In fact, in their heyday, they had nearly 50,000 captives and 35,000 people.
But then there was famine, rat infestation, disease, the stagnation of war, and the failure to clear the fields, and many slaves died.
There are only more than 10,000 left.
"There are more than 5,000 people in Hope Town...... In addition, there are more than 10,000 slaves here, and if they are all given resident status, we may have a lot of burden on our food reserves. The accompanying quartermaster whispered.
Chu Guang was silent for a while.
"It's already the end of May, and it should be able to afford to hold on to the wheat and early rice harvest in July. With the opening of trade routes to the south, we can use copper ore and sulfur to buy grain from farmers in Geumcheon Province......"
If the situation is urgent, it is also permissible to brace it with a nutritional paste.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
“…… Resident status, we promised to give it to every survivor in Hope Town, just do what you said before. As for the rescued slaves, they were first given the status of prisoners according to the standards of exiles. ”
The supervised person is a buffer zone between the displaced and the resident, with limited residency rights.
Generally, the identity of outsiders is supervised. It is not until after a period of study and work that a basic life skill is mastered that the household registration information will be changed and the resident certificate will be processed.
In this way, the impact and burden of the migrant population on society can be minimized.
The quartermaster immediately took note of the instructions of the administrator.
"What about the craftsmen?"
Chu Guang: "Locked up first, but separate from other prisoners of war." ”
The quartermaster nodded.
"Yes!"
Chu Guang then looked at the rock teeth.
"Take me to the palace of the Golden Tooth and see what treasures that guy has hidden."
Seeing that the manager stopped digging into the roots, Yanya finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded and said.
"Okay! I'll take you there! ”
The group continued to move towards the four new districts.
At the same time, a series of good news flew back to Dawn City from the front line like wings, and flew into everyone's ears through the radio in the town square.
The new alliance captures Xizhou City!
Skull Crusher: Golden Fang's head falls to the ground!
The Ya Clan was completely wiped out, more than 20,000 marauders were captured, and nearly 10,000 slaves were liberated!
Each message is brought out individually, and it is enough for those who watch the excitement to be shocked for a whole day.
Entrance to the trading post.
The merchants with the two oxen, the mercenaries and the travelers with their bags on their backs stopped one after another, exchanging surprises in each other's eyes.
"Is the Golden Tooth dead......?"
"Are they serious?!"
"If the Tooth Clan is really destroyed...... The Chewing Bone Tribe is almost at the end of its time. The mercenary with the rifle on his back looked at the radio in surprise.
"It's finally over! It's been almost two years since I've been to see my old lover in the tavern in Bougla...... I hope she remembers me. The companion next to him couldn't help but say.
"Hahaha, those hyenas who eat people and don't spit out bones have finally gone to hell! Praise the great Union, praise the administrators of the Federation! Tianshui will remember his great deeds! A dusty merchant shouted excitedly, attracting the sideways glances of those around him.
It could be seen that the group of marauders had made him lose a lot.
"Thanks to the almighty god of the bighorn deer, this land has finally welcomed its master......" an old man dressed as a traveler, kneeling on the ground and praying reverently.
After hearing the news from Xizhou City in the telegram, Sim, who was far away at the headquarters of the Horseshoe Comptoir in Honghe Town, was stunned behind his desk on the spot.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and squeezed out half a sentence of doubt from his stiff mouth.
“…… Fake it. ”
