The warehouse was empty, with only a few panicked rats scurrying in the corners, as if they were avoiding something terrible. The soldiers of the Lions Empire escorted Hunter and other "rebellion-promoting spies" away, leaving behind a lot of people.
The mess on the ground and the lingering tension in the air.
Jade City, this once prosperous city, is now like an isolated island that is about to be swallowed up by a storm. On the streets and alleys, Lions and Dorn soldiers patrolled in small groups with panicked expressions. They originally thought it was just a storm.
It was an easy suppression, but I didn't expect that it would fall into such a quagmire.
Even so, there were still many civilians and workers gathering in secret. They were discussing how to end the war. As they talked, the content of the discussion turned to how to welcome the Tang Empire's army into the city.
In the eyes of all civilians, as long as the troops of the Tang Empire occupy Jade City, their suffering will be over. As long as those coalition soldiers who bully the weak and fear the strong are driven away, the war will be completely over!
With this idea, more and more people began to join small radical groups. Many people wanted to make a fortune at this time. If they could really create chaos, the Tang Empire could occupy Jade City at a relatively small cost.
, then they will definitely be praised!
As a result, some people began to secretly draw maps, assemble teams, and even visited several coalition arsenals hidden in the city, preparing to use their own actual actions to welcome the arrival of the Tang Empire army.
"Damn! Are these mud-legged people crazy?" A young Lyons soldier cursed in a low voice. He held the rifle in his hand tightly, his palms full of sweat.
Just now, he killed a civilian who tried to rush up to snatch his weapon. The other person's blood even splashed on his face. This was his first time to kill, and it was his first time to kill at such a close range...
"Be alert! I heard that there have been riots among civilians in many places!" Looking at his frightened subordinates, the Lions Empire officer who just put down the phone and walked out of the post warned nervously.
He had just heard about what happened in another neighborhood. In order to frighten the unruly people, a commander there publicly executed a worker named Hunter. He was arrested yesterday on charges of inciting civilians to rebel.
Who knew that when the worker was being executed, a group of masked gangsters suddenly appeared, armed with submachine guns and fierce firepower, and rescued the mobster named Hunter in full view of the public.
Then a large-scale riot broke out there, with civilians from several blocks attacking the local garrison and even occupying an arsenal.
A fool also knows that this kind of thing is not that simple. If it is just a simple mob, it is impossible to be the opponent of the local garrison. It is obvious that among the troublemakers, there are some people of unknown origin. These people have automatic weapons.
, and his tactical coordination was also very skillful, helping the unarmed rebels stabilize their position.
Well now, those rioters have occupied the arsenal and have more bullets and guns. Now these civilians with guns are running around in the city and have caused countless troubles to the coalition defenders.
"If someone attacks the checkpoint, shoot immediately..." He looked at the sandbags piled next to his post, and then looked at the tall buildings around him. He felt that the checkpoint he set up at the intersection was simply a trap. If something went wrong,
Their fortifications here are leaking from all sides and there is no way to defend them.
"No, Captain...are we really shooting at civilians? Then the higher ups will be blamed..." A veteran came up and asked in a lowered voice. He felt that shooting at his compatriots was not a good thing no matter what.
.
"Shut up, do you want to be torn to pieces by those lunatics?" The commander of the checkpoint glared at him and lowered his voice and said: "These untouchables have gone completely crazy, they can do anything! Some soldiers have been killed
Even if I’m beaten to death, do you want to die too?”
"Chug, chug, chug!" A series of gunshots suddenly came from the distance. The sound should be the MP40 submachine gun commonly equipped by the Lions Empire. This kind of submachine gun is equipped in many countries in the Eastern Continent, mainly the Poplar Empire of the elves.
and Lines Empire.
"Hidden! Damn it! They're coming." Hiding behind the sandbag bunker, the officer of the Lines Empire held the helmet above his head with his hands, reminding his men to find a bunker quickly.
On the other side of the street, civilians armed with various weapons were already pouring in like a tide.
Some of these people were holding sticks or shovels, some were holding kitchen knives at home or wrenches from the factory, some were holding 98K rifles found in the arsenal, and some were only carrying a bayonet...
With red eyes and a look of madness, they rushed towards the Lions Empire soldiers at the checkpoint.
"Get rid of these bastards!" Hunter, who was mixed in the crowd and rescued from the execution ground, yelled manically. He had just walked away from the gate of hell, and of course it was impossible to reason with these soldiers of the Lions Empire.
"Sooner or later they will kill us all! Drive them out of our city!" Someone in the crowd was holding an MP40 submachine gun and shouted at the people around him.
Along with these shouts, the crowd rushing to the barricade checkpoint became even more violent. They have really been oppressed for too long, and now they have decided to fight for themselves!
"Go back! If you come back, we'll shoot!" Behind the sandbag, a soldier from the Lions Empire poked half of his head out and shouted at the frantic crowd.
What he responded to was a flying bullet. Although it didn't hit his head, it still shocked him. Then these soldiers of the Lions Empire were no longer polite, and they, who were also annoyed, started talking to him.
The crowd pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A Lions soldier fired a shot at the crowd, then he retracted behind the sandbag, pulled the bolt and reloaded the bullet.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Kill! For freedom! For the Tang Army!" The person who shouted this sentence was a thin young man, waving a rusty kitchen knife in his hand, his face
There was a look of determination on his face.
Another old worker standing next to him was hit by a flying bullet. When he lay down, he was caught by the crowd that came up. The crowd became more frantic after seeing the blood, and people with weapons also started shooting at the people inside the checkpoint.
The Lions Empire soldiers opened fire.
"Damn it!" Those Dornish soldiers obviously did not expect to be attacked in such a desperate manner. They originally thought that if they fired, the opponent would be scared away, but in fact, the opponent rushed over directly.
"Bang!" There was another gunshot, and the young man wielding a rusty kitchen knife fell to the ground, blood staining the ground. The shooter was a Lanes veteran hiding behind a sandbag because there were too many targets.
Now, he doesn't even need to aim.
"Idiots, fight with us, you low-class people are only worthy of..." He stuck out his head again, put the gun on the sandbag, and aimed through the sight hole at a civilian who was leading the charge. He muttered, pointing his finger
His head was already pressed against the trigger.
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, a bullet accurately hit him between the eyebrows. His eyes widened, and he fell on his back unwillingly, falling next to another Lions Empire soldier.
At the third-floor window of a building behind the crowd, a man with a beard looked away from the eyepiece of the quadruple scope. He was a Tang Dynasty agent lurking in Jade City, responsible for helping people on the streets.
Those Yucheng civilians removed the threats blocking the road.
With agents like him, this group of civilians became more and more powerful, and more and more people gathered together. They broke through checkpoints one after another, occupied one block after another, and destroyed many of the coalition's defensive deployments in the city.
.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the officer at the checkpoint abandoned his soldiers and ran away. The machine gun set up behind the sandbags did not fire. When the civilians approached, they saw that the machine gunner had died beside the machine gun. There were only a few Lions left.
The soldiers had raised their hands, but the angry crowd did not give them a chance to surrender...
"Bastards! Those bastards!" In the underground headquarters, Paul angrily tore up a city defense map. His carefully laid defense plan had just been launched, but it had been completely destroyed by the rioters in the city.
The Tang army outside the city obviously got the news of the riots in Yucheng City, and launched a large-scale attack while the city was in chaos.
The northern Tang Army, which was not very active in attacking, also started to move south today. The pressure on the Dornish Empire's troops stationed in the northern suburbs of the city doubled and they suffered heavy losses...
The Tang army, which had been fighting very aggressively in the south, launched an even fiercer offensive today. They had already penetrated the defense line on the outskirts of Yucheng, and some troops had already entered the city, seemingly wanting to join up with the rioting civilians in the city.
If the Tang army and the rebels were allowed to gather together, the defense of the entire Jade City would probably collapse soon. So while Paul desperately mobilized his troops to prevent the Tang army from entering the city, he also ordered to suppress the unruly people in the city who were causing chaos at all costs.
"Damn it! How could this happen?" As the highest commander of the Lions Empire stationed in Jade City, Paul originally wanted to stay in Jade City for a few months. But now he looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, his face turned pale and he didn't know what to say.
What is good.
He never expected that the Tang army's attack would be so swift and violent, and that the normally submissive civilians in Jade City would actually give him the most fatal blow from behind.
"General! What should we do?" An officer stumbled to Paul and asked in horror: "There seems to be a problem over at Arsenal No. 5..."
As soon as he reported the incident, Paul felt the ground beneath his feet tremble. He stretched out his hand to hold on to the table to maintain his balance, and then an explosion that could be heard clearly in the basement was heard everywhere.
in human ears.
Dust fell from the ceiling, making people cough. Paul's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Those... unruly people... can't be..." The adjutant next to Paul turned pale, his lips trembled, and his voice was broken, as if he had been greatly frightened.
"Isn't it because the arsenal was blown up?" His voice became lower and lower, and finally he almost turned to himself. After all, for him, the earth-shattering explosion just now was too much.
He was shocked, so shocked that he couldn't believe his ears.
"General!" The voice of the officer who came to report began to tremble. His legs seemed to be as heavy as lead, and he was almost unsteady.
"We... what should we do now?" He knew that losing Arsenal No. 5 would be a huge loss for the coalition forces. Tens of thousands of artillery shells were stored there, enough for the coalition artillery force to use for several months. No
Without these shells, the coalition artillery will definitely be silent for a long time, and this period of time is enough for the Tang Army to do too many things.
"Those damn unscrupulous people! How dare they..." Paul said through gritted teeth, with veins popping up on his forehead. He was obviously extremely angry. He knew that the defense of Arsenal No. 5 was very tight, and it was impossible for those civilians to attack.
Go in. The only explanation is that someone cooperated inside and outside and helped the civilians blow up the arsenal.
Tang Jun's infiltration in Yucheng was really pervasive. The other party had been operating here for so many years, and there must be countless secret operations left behind... He was still careless, and he did not expect that the other party could do this.
"Those bastards! It must be that damn Silver Fox! There can be no one else but them!" Paul became angrier as he thought about it. He punched the table hard with a loud noise: "Those rioters must have discovered the arsenal.
There are no guns and bullets inside that they can take out and use, so..."
"So I just blew up the cannonballs stacked in the warehouse." The adjutant said with a pale face. He knew that those civilians were completely crazy to do this.
"What should I do? What else can I do!" Only then did Paul remember the officer who had just asked what to do. He looked at the officer, pressed his hands on the table angrily, and roared loudly. His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes.
Like an enraged beast: "Order the troops to suppress those mobs at all costs!"
"And!" Paul took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but his voice was still trembling: "Send a letter to the Dornish people again and tell them..."
"What do you tell them?" the adjutant asked cautiously. He knew that Paul's mood was very unstable now, and he would get burned if he was not careful.
"Tell them." Paul said through gritted teeth: "Don't take into account the casualties of civilians in the city. If you encounter any rioters, treat them as enemies! Open fire and kill them immediately!"
He no longer cares about so much, and all he can think about now is that he cannot lose Tamaki so quickly. No matter what, he must complete the task assigned to him by Lions II: Tamaki must hold on for three months now.
