Old days in the box

Chapter 311 The current situation of the battlefield belonging to the little people

The other two rebel forces, which seemed to be converging on the virtual map, were now approaching Vital City where Wuyou was originally located, forming an invisible encirclement network from both sides.

Li Xianning understood that the rebels were not a united front. Chaos in the world would naturally lead to the rise of heroes, and everyone wanted to take the opportunity to seize power.

But judging from the current situation, the Byzantine army is still very powerful, and these rebels should not fight among themselves at this time.

But based on the feedback she saw on the virtual map, the two rebels approaching Vital City clearly had ulterior motives.

"Something's wrong. This town is located in a remote area and is not a hub area. Why are the routes of other rebels approaching here?" Li Xianning raised her hand and stopped the rotation of the virtual map.

"Perhaps the rebels are planning to negotiate and cooperate?" one of the bachelors guessed.

"But they were fully armed and secretly marched along the path... I have to say that this was more like a sneak attack." However, some bachelors also raised questions.

Faced with the real-time changes in the situation on the map, Li Xianning did not hesitate for too long and quickly made a decision: "No matter what, it is right to give priority to warning."

"Deploy the Forbidden Army to station at Yuhuo Pass and wake up the Dragon Cry system. Within half an hour, I want Yuhuo Pass to be ready to fire at any time."

The emperor has not replied for a long time. In the current Steel and Fire Department, Li Xianning has the most power.

All the bachelors took action to pass on the orders of the Chief of Steel and Fire, and dispatched the imperial army in the palace to the Yuhuo Pass a hundred miles away from Yujing to wait for orders.

It is the highest cliff pass near Yujing. The terrain is steep and the view is wide.

Since many years ago, the Steel Fire Department has been building and deploying the largest firepower system in the Jade World there, in order to cover the attack range of the border.

Today, all kinds of incredible black technologies from the Steel Fire Department have been integrated into the Meteor Fire Pass, forming a large-scale launch site called "Longming", which is enough to deliver various cloud-penetrating rockets and meteorite iron to thousands of people. The coordinates outside are like meteors falling from the sky.

Late at night outside Yujing City, a large number of imperial troops took advantage of the excitement of the aristocratic family's second trip to the mountain. They all secretly left the city and stationed themselves in Yuhuo Pass. They lit the beacons and incinerators here and stayed there waiting for orders.

Once any order from the Chief of Steel and Fire is conveyed here, they will immediately activate the Dragon Crying System, bringing infinite fire like a falling meteor in the night sky of the Jade World.

-

At the same time, far away in the city of Vital in the Byzantine Empire.

In the deepest night, countless crows screamed hoarsely in the night sky. The rebels were clearing out the crowds on every street, occupying every corner and house here, and coordinating supplies.

Under the leadership of Vidal, this rebel army moved all the way from Constantinople to the south. Along the way, it expanded to hundreds of thousands of people. In just a few days, it captured several towns in succession and became the entrenched southern military region. a major force.

At this moment, after a brief round of stubborn resistance, this remote town has been basically completely captured by them. Only the last handful of Byzantine soldiers are left huddled in the church of the Mother Goddess, making a final struggle.

Outside the Church of the Mother Goddess, which had long been surrounded, countless gunfire was pouring out non-stop, shooting wildly at the outer walls and windows of the church, suppressing the Byzantine troops hiding inside.

The firearms in their hands are all kinds of, some are high-end goods snatched from the Byzantine armory, some are smuggled goods modified by the bottom, and some are even simple homemade firearms.

But without exception, they all opened fire wildly, pouring all the violence they had into this church.

Under such strong firepower suppression, the Byzantine soldiers in the church had no chance to fight back. The roaring firelight illuminated the face of every rebel soldier, and not far behind them, there were people slowly heading towards this direction. The approaching canyon pioneer.

Vidal, the absolute leader of the rebels, was standing at the forefront of the rebels, facing the unyielding Church of the Mother Goddess alongside Yuan Wuyou.

"...Is that enough? We have occupied the city and defeated the main force stationed in the city. These are just the lowest-level trainee soldiers. Even if we don't kill them, it will not affect our victory?"

At this time, Yuan Wuyou's face had long lost the joy and excitement that he had when he first went into battle. Only heavy worries were buried in the shadows, disturbing him.

"Increase the firepower." But Vidal remained unmoved and just issued the four-word command expressionlessly.

More people came up from the back row and followed his orders, raising their guns and pouring gunpowder. The outer wall of the Mother Goddess Church was almost completely penetrated. Some high-grade gunpowder would even splatter into countless fragments after the explosion. , embedded in the flesh and blood, extremely painful.

In extreme despair, the Byzantine soldiers trapped in the church began to recite hymns of faith in the Mother Goddess loudly, praying to the supreme Mother Goddess to lend a helping hand to them.

As Yuan Wuyou said, these soldiers are all local young people who have just been recruited into the army. They have firm faith in the Mother Goddess and young ambitions. However, it is this blind and immature faith that makes them always stubborn. drop.

There were waves of vibrations on the ground, and the huge Canyon Pioneer had already arrived in front of the church facing the crowd, making a sharp void cry. Vidal pulled Yuan Wuyou out of the way. The behemoth summoned by him waved its forelimbs in a power-charging motion. Then, amid desperate recitations and roaring gunfire, it suddenly moved forward and hit the target with a void headbutt. A fatal impact on a building!

Like a living cannonball, the Canyon Pioneer quickly crashed into the church, causing the building to collapse and completely disintegrate.

The reciting sound echoing inside finally stopped, and the continuous gunfire pouring from the outside also stopped.

The rebels put away their firearms and began to walk towards the ruins of the church, confirming that the enemies inside were completely dead. The Canyon Pioneer also re-turned into the Eye of the Pioneer due to the damage caused by the impact, and fell to the on the ground.

The last resistance in this remote town finally disappeared.

The rebels picked up the Pioneer Eye again and handed it back to their leader Vidal. A large number of people also began to enter the church in an orderly manner, searching for any supplies inside that they could use.

"Now, we call it victory." Vidal glanced at Yuan Wuyou, then put away his Vanguard Eyes and walked away in the direction of the crowd.

Yuan Wuyou's face was blank, and she jumped up to catch up with him, Chi Hua's sword hanging from its scabbard making a clanging sound.

"Chief, the granary in the city has been pried open. Our people are counting the food and supplies inside, but the 70,000 refugees who followed us are rushing into our cordon."

"Fire a gun to warn them to line up in an orderly manner, otherwise we will not distribute a single grain."

"Chief, we have discovered the whereabouts of other rebels nearby, and they seem to be coming in this direction."

"Continue to investigate. The rebels coming out of the slums should be marching towards the eastern front. They must have an ulterior motive for coming towards us."

"Chief, we have basically taken over the city and we expect to be able to continue our journey to the next town within three days."

"Speed ​​up the pace. While the Byzantine army is exhausted, we must occupy as many urban areas as possible and expand our base."

There were a large number of rebel soldiers going in and out of Vidal along the way, reporting to him one by one all the major and minor events that happened in the city, allowing him to make the final decision. Yuan Wuyou followed him, and couldn't even find anyone who could intervene. A gap in a sentence.

"Wait a minute, isn't what you did just now a bit unviable? Although it is said that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy on the battlefield, but since the opponent's defeat has been determined, should the winner show more kindness and grace..."

Yuan Wuyou followed Vidal and interrupted their conversation to ask.

"Do you think there's a problem?" Vidal asked calmly.

"I just feel that such a victory is not glamorous. You clearly have the creations given by the Heavenly Lord in the past, and you can attack cities and territories openly. Why do you need to use such methods against the defeated soldiers?"

"A war is not about treating guests to a meal. It is not about who wins and the two sides shake hands and make peace. This war will not stop until the last person who represents the faith of the Mother God is killed."

"They are also subjects of Byzantium. Can't you target those Byzantine troops who are really causing harm?"

"People are angry, Miss Princess. They are angry because they cannot get the justice and survival they deserve from the faith of the Mother Goddess, so they ignited the current rebellion war."

Vidal stopped and turned to look at Yuan Wuyou who was following him.

"The crowd is blind, which is both their greatest strength and their greatest weakness. If I let this church go today, who is responsible for explaining to people why we let a group of believers of the Mother God go? You go? Or I go ?”

Yuan Wuyou was stunned for a few seconds, not knowing how to answer; while Vidal stared at her dusty skirt and dirty beautiful top, feeling silent in his heart.

In fact, he didn't have any prejudice against this oriental princess. On the contrary, he had personally watched Yuan Wuyou move around with his army these days and capture towns. She didn't have the charm or airs of the princess at all. This made her He was surprised.

But in the final analysis, she was always an outsider in this war. A princess from a foreign country. People of her status could not understand the meaning of this war at all.

"From the day the war was ignited, there was no room for explanation. The war had unleashed the anger in people's hearts. Unless every person who represented the faith of the Mother Goddess was killed in this land, this group would The anger will never stop, and between us and them, only one side is destined to survive and restore order in this country."

"You may be a warrior with superb swordsmanship, but you have never seen what war looks like. You have been protected so well that you think war is some glorious battlefield full of glory and medals. Go back, this is not the place for you."

Vidal dropped the last words, no longer waiting for her but turned around and continued walking forward.
