The second round of attacks by the Red Scarf Regiment was once again defeated under the command of Yang Xuan!
However, the Green Hats learned a lesson this time, and they no longer cheered as before after their victory, acting as a living target for the enemy's snipers.
One by one, they quickly lowered their heads and hid behind the city wall, with excited expressions on their faces, "Commander, what are we going to do next!"
At this time Yang Xuan had established absolute authority among them.
The tactics arranged by Yang Xuan just now were unheard of by them, and even they themselves did not expect that they could actually unleash such a powerful fighting force!
Yang Xuan breathed out softly. Only he understood that although the battle just now was fought beautifully, it contained many dangers.
There are too many people in that red scarf group, and their equipment advantage is much higher than here.
These tactics commanded by Yang Xuan could only win for a short time. With the fighting power of the green hats, he did not have full confidence to continue to resist the red hats' successive attacks.
"Are you ready with what I need?"
Yang Xuan asked towards the muscular man.
The muscular man immediately took out his walkie-talkie and spoke a few words, then replied to Yang Xuan, "It's all ready, and it's on its way here."
After a while, the escort team hurried over with the things.
These transportation teams are composed of ordinary residents in the city, including women, children, and the elderly.
What surprised Yang Xuan was that the person responsible for commanding the escort turned out to be the city lord with long white curly hair!
However, the muscular man next to him and the other cuckold mercenaries did not show any surprise, and seemed to be accustomed to this.
The strong man saw the confused expressions of Yang Xuan and Qing Mudan and explained, "Our leader was not actually a mercenary before, but just a businessman."
"When I was passing by here once, I saw a group of mercenaries killing innocent people indiscriminately. The leader softened his heart for a moment and used money to buy the prisoners from the mercenaries and saved their lives."
"After the prisoners were freed, they knelt on the ground and begged the leader to take them in, saying that they had no home and no place to go. If the leader didn't take them in, they would die sooner or later."
"The leader couldn't bear to abandon them, so he built a refugee camp here, which was the predecessor of this city, to house these people."
"Later, more and more refugees learned about this and came here to seek refuge with the leader."
"The leaders took them all in and took them to reclaim wasteland and engage in production."
"Then the place quickly became prosperous and gradually formed a village where people can live and work in peace and contentment."
"But the good times didn't last long. Seeing that the residents here were getting better and better day by day, with food and meat, some mercenaries with ulterior motives took care of them."
"One night, a group of mercenaries came in to forcibly requisition food, and shot and killed anyone who dared to resist."
"In order to save everyone's lives, the leader allowed the mercenaries to loot all the food and valuables in the village."
“After working hard for many years, it returned to its original shape overnight.”
"Since then, the leader has understood that if he wants to survive in this troubled world, he must have an armed force of his own."
"So he took out his life savings and started purchasing weapons and equipment to arm all the men in the village."
"Then we built cities and recruited brave soldiers, and gradually it became what it is today."
"Our leader is a kind man. He formed the armed forces not to bully others, but to protect himself."
"So he did not invest too much money and energy in this area, but spent most of his energy and materials on improving residents' quality of life."
"But it was also because of his kindness that he was too lenient in troop training, which resulted in a serious lack of combat effectiveness of this armed force."
"In these years, we have relied on this solid city to withstand foreign enemies time and time again."
"Every time a war breaks out, the leader will lead the residents of the city to provide logistical support for the armed forces. Everyone is accustomed to this."
Yang Xuan looked at the leader who was instructing the people to assemble supplies and was panting from exhaustion. He couldn't help but take another look at the old man with white curly hair.
It turns out that in this war-torn land where the weak are preying on the strong and every step of the way is bloody, there is such a clean spring.
"Mr. Yang, on behalf of all the residents of the city, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!"
The leader respectfully covered his chest with one hand and bowed to Yang Xuan, "If it weren't for you this time, our residents would be doomed."
"I apologize to you for my previous rudeness and hope to gain your forgiveness."
Yang Xuan quickly raised his hand and said, "Old man, you're welcome. I've listened to what they said about you. This is what I should do."
Yang Xuan was full of respect for the kind and selfless old man in front of him.
"Old man, now is not the time to talk about this. The enemy will attack soon. You should quickly take the residents to a safe place to avoid accidental injury."
Yang Xuan said.
"No."
The leader said stubbornly, "My soldiers fought bloody battles at the top of the city. How can I, the leader, be a coward?"
"Although I don't have the power to tie a chicken, I can stand here and live and die with the soldiers. As long as I am here and the soldiers can see me, they will be full of faith and strength!"
Yang Xuan looked at the stubborn old man in front of him, nodded with admiration, and then began to command and deploy the equipment he designed.
In fact, there are only two types of these devices. The first one is similar to the ancient trebuchet, which uses leverage to throw stones or other objects a long distance.
"This is your stone-throwing position. Listen to my orders later. When I give the order to fire, you can start again. Don't act without my orders!"
Yang Xuan issued the order.
"Yes, understand!"
A group of mercenaries responsible for controlling the trebuchets responded loudly.
Then Yang Xuan walked to the top of the city and directed the mercenaries to stretch out the bamboo tubes one by one from the observation tower.
Behind these bamboo tubes are large tanks filled with oil. A simple compressor is installed on the side of the bamboo tube, which can quickly compress the oil inside.
After everything was deployed, Yang Xuan commanded the mercenaries to stand by and prepare for the enemy's third round of attack.
About ten minutes later, as a green flare slowly rose into the sky, the beast-like red scarf group roared towards this direction again like a beast.
"Listen up!"
Yang Xuan loudly ordered, "This attack is a feint. Just fire a few symbolic shots. Don't hit too hard."
"We must give the enemy the illusion that we are seriously short of ammunition and have a serious decline in our will to fight."
"The purpose is to attract them all under the city wall, do you understand?"
