Chapter 113: Blitzkrieg
Northern provinces.
"Run? You'd better run faster, huh? Aren't you quite a good runner? β
"Hahaha, we have taken a fancy to you, that's your honor, it's really something that doesn't know whether it's dead or alive, and you dare to resist?"
Syllable!
Five strong men on horseback were chasing a teenage girl as if playfully, and from time to time they raised the whip in their hands and pumped it, leaving shocking scars on the girl's body.
Even if she was tricked like this, she might not be able to run out of the border of the northern province until she died, but the girl's steps were still very firm, and there was even a look of death in her eyes.
No matter what era ordinary people are, life is basically half-dead, catch up with a good ruler, then this life probably has the lowest guarantee, but if you meet a relatively mediocre emperor, then you may die suddenly because of some accident in this life.
In this northern province, ordinary people have become the private property of various forces since they were born, and men are either sent to mine or keep the few fields to be cultivated, and as for women, I am afraid that there is only one way to sell themselves or be sold.
Escape.
This was her only thought, and she didn't know if she could run away or what kind of abuse she would be treated if she was caught.
Just as this tragic scene happened, a whispering voice suddenly appeared in the seemingly empty snow not far away: "Uncle, aren't we still up?" β
However, I saw a few 'snowmen' dressed in white cloaks, with pale skin, holding simple rifles dyed white, almost blending in with the environment, looking at the violent knights with cautious expressions.
"Silly boy, according to my experience, these people probably have to be at the level of the Soul Sect, if we can't get a headshot with one blow, then we won't be able to escape." Said an older man.
"But we can't..."
"Shhhhhh
While several people were discussing, there were two fast-running 'tin cans' at the end of the road.
The two tin cans collided head-on with the knights, and both stopped.
"Who's coming?" One of the leading knights stepped forward and asked in an arrogant tone at the two tin cans, who had no idea what they were.
Not to mention that the people here in the northern province are the masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, the main reason is that these two things are not tall, and they are almost the same as riding horses, so it is difficult for people to pay attention to them.
Of course, the two tin cans did not reply, but turned their heads and aimed at the leader's head, and then heard a 'pop' of cannons, and half of the man's body was blown away with the flesh and blood.
The sudden loud noise frightened the horses of the other knights, and they struggled uneasily, as did the knights themselves, which they had never seen before, but who could kill their boss in one instant, brought them great fear.
"Run, run!" For a moment, several people had no intention of avenging the boss, and brandished their leather whips and whipped the horses under their crotches, hoping to urge them to run away.
However, the two tin cans did not give them a chance, and soon aimed at them, and each fired two shots, and the cannonball passed through their chests, and made a large hole, and then the men died in astonishment.
After dealing with these, a young man came out of the tin can, shouting to the girl who had run twenty or thirty meters away behind him: "Girl, where are you going?" Come back! β
The girl seemed to be numb, and could not hear anyone, but ran along the somewhat steep road in a daze.
But as she walked, suddenly, she felt that the sky was dark, but she saw an extremely huge steel beast blocking her way.
Or rather, she was the one who stood in the way of the steel beast.
The two girls were sitting on the top with a map and discussing something, when they suddenly realized that the chariot had stopped, and they couldn't help but raise their eyes, and soon saw the poor and helpless girl below.
"Ugh." Leng Xiyue shook her head and waved her hand to the team behind her, and soon Ah Yin stepped forward with several women who were accompanying doctors.
She is really not a hard-hearted person, she can see a lot, and she seems to be used to it, maybe most people in this world are like this.
Except for a sigh, she couldn't give more emotion.
Seeing that the girl resisted, a touch of blue energy emerged from Ah Yin's hand and surged towards her wound, and soon, the panicked girl settled down and was taken to the back by them.
"Miho, where did you just go? Ah yes, I mean, if we attack Stormwind, can we be sure that we can take it today? β
Leng Xiyue looked at the map, which was marked as a target and one of the three main cities of the Northern Province, and then looked at the team behind him that was almost completely mechanized, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
After the battle in Soto City, Miho Nishizumi sorted out the battle records and soon discovered the problem, that is, the armor was too scarce.
In the past, Leng Xiyue's mechanization was only speed, and the combat effectiveness was relatively low, in fact, in most cases, the combat power that could be exerted without a master in charge was still relatively limited, but now there are huge expenses for the consumption of resources in all aspects, and Miho Nishizumi proposed to start with a small light tank.
This light tank is not much larger than the average jeep, weighs only about ten tons, is extremely fast, and with carbon coating, the defense is also quite good.
However, compared to the armored car that Leng Xiyue explored by himself before, it was equipped with an additional 30 mm small cannon, which means that it still has a certain explosive ability for higher-level soul masters, especially in the close case, the effect is extremely significant.
On the side of the forge, the production capacity is almost equal.
This cheap and easy-to-use design was so popular with Leng Shigetsu that about 200 units were produced in the months leading up to his arrival.
After several expansions, as well as the subsequent clean-up operations in Soto City, there are now as many as 600 puppet legions, in addition to 400 people responsible for driving these light combat vehicles, there are also 200 regular legions, but the equipment of these armies is more miscellaneous, in addition to the artillery and conventional infantry that operate towed field guns, there are also 20 people who have changed into the equipment of soldier 76 and become super soldiers with self-aiming, and some still use traditional weapons, such as sniper rifles and the like, which is obviously essential, Even if the model lags behind other weapons, it must be arranged.
In addition to the puppets, she also brought about a thousand ordinary people, of which about 400 people came here as doctors and accompanying craftsmen for 'further training', and 600 people were ordinary guards, most of whom were transferred from Star Dou Town, all of them were fatherless, motherless, and helpless young people, these people were very reliable, but the combat experience was slightly lacking, because there was no suitable actual combat training environment in Star Dou Town, and these people who were expected to become the backbone Leng Xiyue also brought them.
In terms of numbers, they are almost all about to catch up with a regiment.
In addition to considerable armaments, the number of soul master masters on Leng Xiyue's side is also extremely large, Shrek poured out of the nest this time, and in general, Flender and Zao Wou-Ki are protected, and the ghost and Yueguan have also come to her, but in order not to reveal their identities, they can only hide in the shadows, and when Leng Xiyue needs to help fight as a 'pure passerby'.
As soon as this martial virtue is abundant, Leng Xiyue dares to do something big, and the original idea of finding a fortress here with mountains and rivers close to the main road to build a fortress and rob around has also become to grab a main city first, and then steadily brush up experience through city defense battles, after all, she doesn't believe that the people in power here can endure the loss of a main city.
Although the defenders of Stormwind City may have thousands or even 10,000 or even 10,000 people, Leng Xiyue firmly believes that this is not a problem, 1,000 to 10,000, the advantage is mine!
The speed of the fully mechanized advance was very fast, although there were many sporadic clearances along the way, and the sound of gunfire was heard far away, but it was still too slow for the people who still used horseback riding and running as their main mode of transportation.
Therefore, when Leng Xiyue arrived at the gate of Stormwind City, the group of guards still looked lazy, until they saw a large number of steel monsters that could run on their own, and then they closed the city gate in a panic.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! β
With a burst of shouts, the tall city wall suddenly became lively, and a large group of people quickly lifted out giant ballistas and even some stone cannons, trebuchets and the like, aiming at Leng Xiyue's array, the whole process took less than two minutes, it can be seen that this group of people is still orderly.
In order for ordinary people to participate in the battle, these devices are still very necessary, and some explosive fire tank bombs are not without them, and they are thrown through trebuchets, which are actually quite terrifying if they are used against conventional armies.
Times have changed, though.
"Everyone, the armored troops charge with me, quickly tear through the enemy's defensive line, clear the city, the artillery units bombard the enemy's main defensive equipment, panic the enemy, but don't damage the city walls too much, the heavy armored commandos send two brigades to rush in with me, and the rest are here to protect the non-combatants."
After a little thought, Miho Nishizumi worked out a tactic and quickly conveyed it.
Seeing that everything was ready, she waved her hand and shouted excitedly:
βpanzervorοΌβ
Then, there was a roar of engines, and everyone was ready to charge, and seeing this, Miho Nishizumi sent Leng Xiyue into the cockpit.
A violent roar far surpassed that of the rest of the chariots, and in the next second, Miho Nishizumi's car rushed out at full speed directly towards the city gate.
With a loud bang, the thick door made of iron-clad wood shattered.
Many of the people hiding behind the gates were unable to dodge and were smashed to pieces on the spot.
Now Miho Nishizumi's tank has been personally improved, from Leng Xiyue's half-hung Tiger King to a modern main battle tank... Although its function may be different from that of the real main battle tank, the armor and weapons have been fully upgraded, and the overall armor has been updated to become a super reactive armor in the apocalyptic period of the battle lane, and it also has a military-grade carbon coating, and the defense power has been improved to the level of the defensive system Title Douluo.
It was this thing that completely drained Leng Xiyue's family at once, otherwise the current armored force might not be two hundred light tanks, but two hundred medium tanks.
As for the caliber of the weapon, it has also been improved, because of the improvement of the firing component, the muzzle velocity and range have been greatly improved, but it can only reach the point of Contra, and it is not as big as the defense power, but if the weaker Title Douluo uses a special armor-piercing bullet, it can actually cause a relatively large threat.
After storming the city gates, the crew of the chariot began to operate machine guns and began to strafe a large number of enemies in front of them.
In fact, the really mixed big people will not be here, these guards of the city defense are actually equivalent to the existence of the 'puppet army', these people bully their own kind, pass a certain test, and then they are absorbed, one by one, they are full of oil, in fact, they have no combat effectiveness, or they have not experienced war at all, and their rapid reaction is more out of fear of these unknown enemies.
After all, real slaves will not have enough to eat, and they will never be able to form any combat effectiveness, and with such a sudden attack, it is impossible for them to gather slave cannon fodder troops.
The dense crowd is undoubtedly the best whetstone for a machine gun, accompanied by the sound of gunfire like a loom, blood and flesh flew in a moment, and dozens of people were torn to pieces within a few seconds, whether it was the captain of the Soul Venerable Soul Sect's strength, or ordinary soldiers, they were all treated equally under this kind of strafing, and soon turned into blood mist or fragments, and the smell of blood quickly filled this relatively clear space.
Even more terrifying than the imminent death was the rapidly spreading fear, the people in the back had already begun to run away, while the people in front could only be dragged forward.
"Rush! Rush up! Just stick to it and find a way to kill it! A gray-faced man in bright gold armor shouted.
Seeing that the slaughter continued, some of the people who thought they could not escape mustered up the courage to shout, and then rushed forward with their swords.
I have to say that this is actually still useful, in this kind of street fighting, although it can't cause any damage, but at least there is a chance to live.
After all, Miho Nishizumi is transforming the main battle of the Eight Classics, not a strange thing like Leng Xiyue, which combines World War I and World War II, which also leads to the fact that unless the members operate the machine gun on the roof of the car, they do not have a good defense against enemies in other directions.
However, she didn't need to, because a large number of armored troops had already driven in one after another, forming a torrent of steel, covering each other, and it was impossible for the above situation to be possible.
The large armored force did not stay here for long, but quickly dispersed and went to the entire city to clear out the enemy, a few hundred people and the city defense army here, and the follow-up infantry and the main battle of Nishizumi Miho with two more light tanks were enough to deal with.
It's a feeling of despair.
Enter? Three machine guns cross cover, go up is a death, retreat? The big man at the level of the Soul Emperor in the back is there to supervise the battle, and if he dares to retreat, he is afraid that he will be slapped to death!
Compared to the hundreds of people who were caught in the middle of the road, the thousands of people on the city wall were even more tormented, and when the armored cluster rushed over, they had no way to defend at all, because as long as they showed their heads and operated those lethal weapons, they would be shot in the head with cold guns from somewhere.
As a result, they could only try to kill the infantry by releasing arrows into the sky, but unfortunately, in order to ensure the safety of these people, Leng Xiyue had already commissioned the blacksmith shops of several nearby cities to jointly produce a batch of armor, which was still extremely useful for anti-swords and bows.
This city wall seems to have become a shooting range, as long as someone shows their head, there is a cold gun from unknown place to destroy them, and even for fear of being robbed by others if they slow down.
There is also the occasional shelling, which kills a piece of the enemy with a single shot, and its cruelty is no less than the impact of machine gun strafing on the enemy.
Therefore, they can only wait for death, and when those charging armies enter the city, they will make dumplings.
Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and Leng Xiyue knows this very well, so most of the weapons are according to the highest fragmentation standard, which is very inhumane, but also very useful.
"Xiyue, these people, do you want to persuade them to surrender?" Miho Nishizumi glanced through the observation window, and then asked Leng Xiyue.
Of course, it's not her mercy ... How could she, who had been a leader, be merciful? It was actually asking her what she was going to do with the post-occupation situation.
If they are allowed to surrender, of course, they will not escape death, and there is a high probability that they will be refined into puppet soldiers by Heavenly Dreams, but for most of the oppressed slaves and civilians in the local area, the meaning of salvation is much less.
After all, no one knows her ability, so it will cause suspicion, and people will think that these people have been taken away and re-co-opted, and once this suspicion and distrust arises, the follow-up integration of the local people may face a crisis of trust, and the pacification work will also be difficult.
Of course, if they are all killed, the corpses will be placed here for a few streets, or a Jingguan or something, although it is cruel, but according to the local people, this will make Leng Xiyue instantly become a savior, a god-like existence.
Leng Xiyue thought about it, it is not bad to pull a puppet At this time, it is the most important thing to quickly win people's hearts and settle down, so she waved her hand: "Kill." β
"Okay." Miho Nishizumi nodded, and then said to the gunners and loaders on the side, "Change the guns and shoot shotguns, and all of them will be executed." β
Receiving the order, the gunner quickly withdrew the loaded shell and replaced it with a new shell that was much longer.
The so-called artillery shotgun is actually a kind of shotgun fired from a tank gun, a professional anti-personnel weapon, which is loaded with about a thousand steel balls, as for the power... Talking grass and moving trees can be ploughed in an instant, compared to the previous machine guns, which can only be an appetizer.
Leng Xiyue didn't know what this thing was, or if Miho Nishizumi told her, so she made a few shots casually.
Soon, the shells were loaded, aimed, and shot straight out.
During the flight, the warhead slowly cracked, and the steel balls that had been condensed together suddenly dispersed, like a goddess scattering flowers, and quickly rushed towards the crowd.
There was no screaming.
The speed is so high that the vast majority of people don't even have time to react, and they become pieces.
Leng Xiyue got out of the cockpit and looked at the scene around him, his face was expressionless, but he summoned the purifier team, pointed to the city wall, and ordered: "Up, clear those enemies." β
"Yes! Archbishop! β
The chariot slowly moved along the bloody ground, a puppet began to operate the machine gun on the roof of the car to keep watch around, and Miho Nishizumi began to broadcast the people to inform the people of their purpose, which was... Liberate!
As the chariot slowly drove by, many people suddenly saw prying eyes in the private houses passing by, looking at this bloody scene on the street, no one was disgusted by this, and even more rushed directly onto the street, kneeling in a pool of blood, kowtowing to the chariot in the distance, such people are actually not a few.
No one knows what happened to the inhabitants here, whether it was the plundering of their wives and daughters? Men were taken away as miners? Robbed of money? Or was it killed by those people on a whim? Or something even worse?
It doesn't matter, what matters is that they realize that after today, they will be reborn and will repay the savior with their lives for their vengeance.
