In fact, the Tang Army is indeed moving towards the two wings of Jade City: it is just that such testing is relatively slow. The main force of the Tang Army is still in the Susas area, especially the heavy equipment.
Without the support of a large number of heavy weapons and equipment, the Tang Army fought very cautiously. Although many tanks landed from Bunas, these armored units still did not choose the tactic of rapid advancement.
Although this gave Paul time to strengthen his defensive position, in fact he had no good choice: even if he was given another three months, he was not sure that Jade City would be built into a strong fortress.
There is an ancient city wall in Jade City that has not had time to be demolished. It was built when this was the capital of the Kingdom of Wright. Later, the Datang Group obtained the management rights here and began to dismantle these unnecessary defensive measures.
After being demolished and demolished, a section was left, and no one took care of it. It has been abandoned until now. When Datang Group left, it had been developed into a theme park and became a place for locals to go up and enjoy the city scenery.
Great place.
At this moment, on the city wall, Paul was pacing back and forth restlessly, raising the telescope in his hand from time to time and then putting it down irritably.
In the distance, on the edge of the city, you can see countless construction sites, one spreading to the end of the horizon, and the chilling atmosphere seems to smell like rust even from a distance.
"General, please take a rest...I have been standing here for so long." The adjutant said with a grimace. Ever since he received the information that Tang Jun began to appear around Yucheng, General Paul, who was usually as calm as a mountain, was like a man on a hot pot.
Ants can't stop for a moment.
Paul glared at him fiercely: "You think I want to do this? The Tang army is coming fiercely, and our troops are not enough to fill their teeth! What happened to the workers who reinforced the defense line? They work so slowly!"
The adjutant shrank his neck and did not dare to speak anymore. They, as subordinates, naturally knew how powerful the Tang army was. The other party used very few troops to resist their attack on Bunas. This is why Paul's troops looked like this.
passive.
"Report!" An officer walked up to the city wall, stood at attention and saluted, and then reported: "The leaflets scattered by the Tang army yesterday have been collected and destroyed."
Yesterday, the Tang Army dispatched dozens of Ares bombers and dropped a large number of leaflets into Jade City. The content of the leaflets was still very simple, just a few sentences: Susas has surrendered, and Bunas has returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty.
Soldiers of Yucheng, do you still want to resist?
"Destroy it, so as not to disturb the morale of the army." Paul waved his hand impatiently and sent the officer away. He walked to the city wall and looked at the busy construction sites in the distance, his heart full of bitterness.
He knew that everything in the Tang Army's leaflet was true. Susas was just a loser. The Tang Army naturally surrendered as soon as they arrived, and the same was true for the elves. What was even more annoying was that the surrender of the two countries was accompanied by
Destroyed at least 1 million troops of the Lions Empire!
Those damn common people in the Lions Empire have long been looking forward to the Tang Army's attack. After all, the Tang Army's tax policy is a real discount for those common people.
As for Bunas, that port city has been operated by the Tang Group for many years, and it is also the back garden of the Tang army. It was not taken back before to benefit the rebels, which made Paul very regretful.
"General, are we really going to fight the Tang army here?" the adjutant came over and asked cautiously.
Paul didn't speak. He just took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a long drag. After a long silence, he uttered three words: "What else?"
Paul muttered bitterly to himself, as if the question was being asked to himself, and as if he was questioning fate. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his military boots, as if it was Tang Jun's head.
"Go down and tell those damn workers to speed up! If you miss me, I'll shoot them all and feed them to the dogs!" Paul roared at the adjutant, spraying his spittle in the adjutant's face.
The adjutant nodded in agreement, but secretly complained in his heart: Who are those workers? They are civilians captured from the city, the old, weak, sick and disabled, how can they do this?
quick?
Besides, no matter how strong those positions that don’t look good are reinforced, how long can they withstand the Tang Army’s steel torrent?
The carefully designed trench system, covered by the artillery fire of the Tang army, was nothing more than a death trap that could be flattened by a few volleys. No matter how deep it was dug and how complex the construction was, it could not withstand the artillery shells falling from the sky.
Those seemingly indestructible bunkers, under the impact of the torrent of steel from the Tang Army, were more fragile than paper. The artillery fire from heavy tanks could easily tear through the thickest concrete fortifications and blow the defenders inside into pieces.
As for those who tried to use camouflage to hide their positions, they were unable to hide under the aerial patrols of the Tang Army's reconnaissance aircraft. High-altitude reconnaissance aircraft could easily detect any clues and pass the target information to the artillery units behind, guiding precise
Fire strike.
The casualties will definitely be huge, and many people here will soon disappear completely from this world. Therefore, the atmosphere within the entire coalition is very dull, and no one is optimistic about the upcoming battle.
Of course Paul knew this, but he had no choice. He was a general of the Lions Empire, and it was his duty to defend the empire's territory. Even if he knew he couldn't do it, he had to bite the bullet.
There is no way, he is the last hope of the Lions Empire. He cannot betray Lions II, who single-handedly promoted him, nor can he betray the empire.
Of course, Paul knew what the adjutant was thinking, but he could not retreat and had no way out. He breathed out a strong breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the pain out of his body, and then waved his hand feebly, indicating that the adjutant could leave.
"And..." The adjutant just turned to leave, but was stopped by Paul: "Tell those... wealthy businessmen in the city! Tell them to get out of here and leave their houses for me! And! Everyone leave the city.
The tax you have to pay has increased five times! Don’t leave if you don’t have money!”
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Paul meant, which was to let the wealthy businessmen who usually only know how to make money and enjoy themselves also contribute to defending the city.
Since these people have no way to go into battle, they need to hand over a sum of money to encourage the soldiers. If they see real money and silver, maybe those soldiers who are frightened out of fear can behave more bravely when they die.
