"Choice."
Diluc repeated the word, thoughtfully.
"Changes are coming, Diluc, don't make the wrong choice."
With these words behind him, Barbatos' figure slowly disappeared, and Diluc fell into deep thought.
It's obvious that something big is going to happen these days, just like it did thousands of years ago.
You must prepare yourself for the changes that will save Mondstadt.
The nobles who met Barbatos did not know Diluc. Although the nobles as a whole were hopelessly rotten, there were still resources in the garbage dump. There were always people who did not forget their original intentions and were fulfilling the contract made thousands of years ago. , these are the people Wendy wants to contact and unite with, which of course includes the West Wind Church.
Although the interests of the upper echelons within the church are bound to those of the knights and nobles, as the executors of the Wind God's faith, there are still at least one-third of the people available. These are also the goals Barbatos wants to strive for.
Change requires bloodshed, but both Iles and Barbatos insist on the same idea: if possible, try to prevent innocent and kind people from bleeding. Let the scum pay the price.
In the midst of intensive preparations, the time came to the evening of June 0001, 6 in the Xumi New Calendar.
On the other side of Bishuiyuan, across the river from Blue Wind Highlands, the soldiers in the trenches were making final preparations.
Since Mondstadt on the opposite side had no vigilance at all, even if the trenches here were brightly lit, Mondstadt was unprepared. Some soldiers patrolling the border thought that there was a festival in Liyue and wondered if there would be a fireworks show later. look.
"Del, what are you doing?"
"Burning paper money, I learned it from Liyue. I heard that people have to live after death, so I burned some for my parents."
"That's it, come on, let's go together."
"Ah."
"After you go back, prepare... I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask this question."
"It's okay, I've thought about it. If I can go home alive, I will rebuild my hometown, brick by brick, from scratch. If I die, I will send my ashes back to my parents. Buried together.”
At this moment, the squad leader came over and said: "Del, Mead, you are all from Mondstadt, right."
"Yes, monitor, do you have a mission?"
"Yes, let's meet at the school grounds."
At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers have gathered on the campus. They all have a common identity, they are from Mondstadt.
Iles stood on the high platform and said to the soldiers who were lined up neatly: "Comrades, in the previous disasters, many people lost their relatives, their best friends, their homes, and even everything except their own lives. Everything, leaving home and coming to this completely unfamiliar land.”
"But today, I will take you back to Mondstadt, to your former hometown, but this time, we are not just going back, we also want to liberate Mondstadt and liberate the working people oppressed by the knights and nobles!"
"Comrades, the swearing-in ceremony should include farewells from relatives and hugs from loved ones, but unfortunately, many people's relatives and friends cannot see this day coming, but even so, we must pay tribute to their spirits in heaven, and we must also carry them With their hopes and blessings, smash this decadent old world!"
As soon as Ils finished speaking, a breeze came in. In a trance, everyone seemed to have seen the person they cherished the most.
This is the ceremony that Ilse asked Wendy to prepare, a collective memorial to commemorate the dead relatives of the soldiers.
Because of the large number of people and the dispersion of Wendy's own power, this ritual of recalling the souls of the dead is very short. At most, it only involves looking at the other person, listening to a few words, and a few simple actions.
But this is enough.
When the breeze dispersed, everyone had a wooden sign in their hands.
No need to be reminded, everyone knew what to do. They wrote the names of their deceased relatives and friends on the wooden plaques, and then, with red eyes and tears, placed the wooden plaques one by one on them.
A certain emotion is fermenting and condensing, like a volcano about to erupt, accumulating unimaginable power.
Red eyes, clenched hands, and silent thunder.
After the memorial ceremony was over, everyone returned to their position. In the dark night, even the sounds of insects disappeared. The Mondstadt soldiers on the other side of the river seemed to sense something and looked here in a panic, but there was only silence.
Time passed minute by minute, and the fatigue of the night came to mind. Mondstadt's soldiers finally lost to the Sandman, and began to fish in twos and threes, and some simply fell asleep standing up.
In their opinion, it has been several hours, and it is almost dawn. Nothing unusual has happened at all. It seems that they are just nervous. They should have a good rest. The sun will rise as usual tomorrow.
Just like that, the time came to three o'clock in the morning on June 6.
Iles, who was standing at the frontline command post, gave the order: "Forced crossing, begin!"
Chapter 151: Burning Mondstadt
(I’m so busy. I squeezed in time to update. The next update may not be available, or it may be very late. Let me tell you here.)
(By the way, where is the monthly ticket that is alive? It keeps me healthy!)
The night is silent, but this silence will not last long.
There is only a small river with an average width of no more than ten meters between Bishuiyuan and Cangfeng Highlands. The narrowest part may even dry up during the dry season. Expecting such a river to stop the coalition's attack is an Indian colonial America - a foolish dream.
What's more, the Red Turban Army had advanced bridge-building equipment and quickly built more than 30 pontoon bridges on the river. The first thing to rush to the other side was the T34 infantry fighting vehicle. Although the weapon only had twin 20mm cannons, At this time, there are many enemies in Mondstadt that the 20mm cannon cannot defeat.
The sleeping Mondstadt soldiers were directly knocked unconscious. For these grassroots soldiers, the attitude of the coalition is relatively tolerant unless necessary, but if you want to shout, you can only go overboard. I hope you will be a quiet person in your next life.
In just one hour, the large forces had assembled on the other side of the river and built a forward base.
At this point, it is completely impossible to cover up the traces. Further ahead are the various knights in Mondstadt. If you want to advance quickly, you must knock down these castles one by one. For the artillery of the Red Turban Army, these castles The difficulty of attacking the enemy is not high, but the total number will inevitably be exposed as soon as the gun is fired.
But it doesn’t matter anymore, right?
When the sun appeared on the horizon, an army was rushing towards Mondstadt.
"what is that?"
"Don't sleep! Don't even sleep! There's a situation!"
"The situation? What's the situation?"
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
The situation came, and it was very specific. With the roar of Schneider's 1917-style 155mm howitzer, a knight's castle on the Blue Wind Highlands was wiped out in a terrifying explosion.
Literally wiped out, the city wall with a thickness of less than one meter is enough to defend against peasant uprisings, but the persuasive power of 155 is just like ordinary college students facing Goldbach's conjecture, which is a serious over-the-top problem. , the soldiers and knights stationed inside didn't even have time to react, and they had already disappeared into the smoke and rubble along with their castle.
"Go forward! Target, Mondstadt, hang those beasts!"
The sound of the cannon signaled a thorough negotiation on the part of the coalition forces. The Mondstadt soldiers, who had already received two layers of buffs, rushed out at the forefront and launched trials against the symbols of the old system, the knights' castles.
"What happened? What happened?"
"I can't!"
"Get out! What's the use of you! Someone, come quickly!"
"There are enemies, there are enemies!"
"Goddess of Wind, please save us!"
"Tricky people! They are all unruly people! Kill them all! Kill them for me!"
The above content takes place in chaotic knight castles. When these formerly aloof knights and nobles found that their castles were vulnerable, they collapsed as fast as the U.S. military evacuating from Vietnam. All they needed was a Saigon Iron Fist.
This is not surprising at all. Due to poor disaster relief, or no disaster relief at all, the knights and nobles of Blue Wind Highlands have been weakened to the extreme. When the lower classes completely collapse in the disaster, it will be their turn to fall. Now each knight castle The armed configuration and the morale of the soldiers have basically dropped to the lowest point in history. They all know that to those knights, they are just consumables. Being able to survive against the wind is already a sign of courage. They are also expected to follow a group of knights. The enemy who looks very scary is desperate.
Impossible, absolutely impossible. If they didn't give the knight a blow in return, they would have done their best.
Collapse of order, collapse of morale, collapse of rule, the completely collapsed Blue Wind Highlands were unable to stop the coalition's offensive. What's more, those who were charging ahead were still lumps of iron, and the infantry tanks were behind those Mondstadt soldiers. In the eyes, there is no difference from an invulnerable magic weapon. This existence cannot be competed by human beings. Moisture is the last word.
In this way, on the first day of the war, the coalition forces smashed the southern gate of Mondstadt with almost no effort, and began to accelerate towards the city of Mondstadt, preparing to race in the Tour of Mondstadt and speed through it directly.
It's so miserable, isn't it? But Blue Wind Highlands is not the worst.
The Thousand Winds Port in the Valley of Fallen Stars is where the Thousand Winds Temple is located in the game. In reality, it is the largest port city in eastern Mondstadt. It is very suitable as a beach landing site, so Ils directly dropped fifty A large steam paddle steamer transported a brigade of elite troops there.
Among these steam paddle steamers, 15 are considered battleships, and their armaments are not particularly brutal. They only have 155mm main guns and 75mm secondary guns. However, the firepower density of the battleships is very high. After crossing, one battleship can concentrate two guns on it. The firepower of 155 and 75 misses, the firepower of 15 iron-ribbed wooden hull steam paddlewheel ironclads is 30 155 and 105 and 75. This is really too cruel firepower for Qianfeng Port. This port is not a fortification. None, only two battalions of the West Wind Knights were stationed. Facing the heavily armed Red Turban Army, the red flag quickly rose at Qianfeng Port.
Looking at the map again at this time, the city of Mondstadt has been flanked by two directions from the southeast. In the east, because the Red Turban Army directly controls Mondstadt's largest eastern port, supplies are continuously obtained by sea, and they directly begin to stockpile weapons and ammunition. With the Red Turban Army With the current density of firepower of the army, Mondstadt would not even be able to touch the wall of Qianfeng Port unless it invested more than 20 troops here.
Anyway, there are more than [-] light and heavy machine guns outside Qianfeng Port, and they can also receive fire support from the fleet. If you don’t agree, go ahead and take a look.
The first batch of dissatisfied knights quickly appeared, and then they lay evenly in front of the Red Turban Army's defensive position three kilometers away from Qianfeng Port, and collapsed without even passing through the minefield.
However, this also opened the eyes of the Red Turban Army. More than 1000 cavalrymen directly attacked the trench defense positions. Regardless of the fact, this courage is still worthy of commendation. It is a pity that their commander cannot hear this praise. Because that thing was hanging on the barbed wire 30 meters away from the machine gun position, he was also the closest knight to rush, and he was also the only knight to rush to this distance, because he had the eye of God and was a transcendent.
But that was it. He had been swept through a sieve, with only half of his head left, and his only remaining eye staring blankly at the heavy machine gun 30 meters away, refusing to rest in peace.
The main job of the Eastern Route Army is not to attack, but to strengthen the Mondstadt nobles and coordinate the southern offensive. However, this does not mean that they have no offensive capabilities. If the Mondstadt nobles later concentrate their forces to the south, they will Break out of Qianfeng Port and head west to Mondstadt.
The goal of the battle is clear, which is to capture the city of Mondstadt, smash the legitimacy of the Mondstadt nobles, and also clean up the biggest cancer in Mondstadt. Then it is time to plow the court and clear the holes.
Different from previous wars, this battle to liberate Mondstadt also included disaster relief. Although most of the refugees in Blue Wind Highlands had fled, some were still left behind. These people were the only remaining population in the area and could not be lost anymore. , so a large number of construction corps also entered the Blue Wind Highlands. Physical communication at the front line and production and construction at the rear were not delayed.
There are also bandits.
To be honest, Iles is almost tired of these flies, but the bandits cannot be suppressed. Let them go today, and tomorrow these bastards will become logistics costs and construction costs, and even penetrate into the grassroots management system, so it must be thorough Cleaning, even if the advancement speed is slow, it must be clean. It doesn't matter if Mondsta is destroyed, just rebuild it, but there are not many opportunities to clean up the moths.
As the coalition forces advance, public trial platforms are also built one after another. Next to them are the guillotine and the gallows. If conditions do not allow it, just kill them with a bayonet, or just find a tree right to hang them up. In short, kill all those who can. , In troubled times, heavy codes are used. Moreover, among the nobles, nine out of ten have murder cases, and the upper echelons are war criminals per capita. These are war criminals in the true sense. No matter how they are tried, they will be sentenced to death. After completing the procedural justice, they can Hang it up directly to dry.
Amid the wails of the Mondstadt knights and nobles, the frontline intelligence was finally sent to Mondstadt.
Faced with a life-and-death crisis, the knights finally stopped arguing and collectively demanded that the Knights of the West Wind take immediate action to eliminate the intruder. By the way, who was the intruder?
No, your reconnaissance efficiency is not even as good as that of Allied intelligence officers.
But what they didn't know was that at this time, there was already an extremely serious tear within the Knights of the West Wind.
Chapter 152: Qin realizes it!
(Second update! I’m here to catch the monthly pass-chan. Are you there? Let me pout you!)
This situation will occur in all very large organizations, that is, the upper, middle and lower layers coexist.
Generally speaking, the people working at the grassroots level have little background. At least one-third or one-third of the capable middle-level people are promoted from the grassroots level. Someone is needed to do the work. In the end, they occupy the core resource allocation. Yes, the demands of each level are different, but the legal principles are basically universal, that is, to ensure the smoothness of the promotion channel. If you cannot do that, then try to pretend that the promotion channel is smooth. In short , you cannot become a pool of stagnant water.
But the biggest problem with the feudal system is that it is easy to solidify. You are from the XXX family, he is from the XXX family, and I am from the XXX family. We are all people who followed Fengshen into the customs, good friends in the compound, and this is the fattest seat. Of course, leave it to your own people.
Although the capitalists are also working hard to maintain their mountain cities and do their best to pass on wealth from generation to generation, they will at least play the trick of being accepted as dogs. On the other hand, these feudal knight lords do not want to give a drop of their own water to Mudleg. son.
Normally, this kind of problem would cause the most dissatisfaction from other people, but we still get by. But now is the time when someone needs to work hard. The enemy is almost at the door. At this time, the bottom soldiers who are usually full of problems are expected to have problems. , In the future, the powerful and powerful men will fight hard, why!
It doesn't matter if the enemy is vulnerable. At least if you win, you will gain military merit, which is a bit of extra money. If it doesn't work, you can still borrow the heads of fellow villagers. But the current situation is that the enemy is very powerful and can take names from thousands of meters away. , is this something that we, the living people, can solve?
A boss who doesn’t pay you still wants KPIs? Fuck you.
So the Knights of the West Wind also experienced the situation where the troops under the command of the Order were left with empty pay?
Of course there are free wages, but the problems encountered by both sides are completely different.
The Order of the Order is completely rotten, but no matter how bad the knight aristocracy is, it is still the product of the military aristocracy system, and its core military strength is still maintained quite well. For example, the elite of the Knights of the West Wind, all of whom have perseverance and perseverance. He was born into a good family, and his abilities and morale were at the top of the feudal system. He was the most willing to defend his own class.
But the problem is that these people were all taken on expeditions by Grand Commander Falga, and those who stayed behind were all reserve forces, and they were also lower-middle-class in the knight system. These people are not taken seriously in ordinary times, and some are even pure. I was born in a mud-legged family. I don’t know the Chinese character for a basket of buckets, and I don’t know the Chinese characters for a flat pole when it falls over. My family is still extremely poor.
How much sense of belonging does such a person have to Mondstadt's current aristocratic system? It would be good if they don't welcome the king's master. If they are expected to guard the country, it is better to let Wu Sangui come. At least the latter can sell the Ming Dynasty at a good price.
The only thing worth mentioning is Mondstadt's mobilization system. It is more than a little stronger than Xumi under the rule of the Order. In a short time, an army of more than 50 people was organized. If they are given more time, they can squeeze out Millions of bear masters are not a dream.
That's right, it's the Xiong Division. With an army that has expanded in such a short period of time, how much combat effectiveness do you expect them to have.
The ratio of veterans to recruits was directly at one to one hundred, and even filling in the lines failed.
What's more, at this time, the coalition composed of the Red Turban Army and the Qianyan Army is attacking at a speed of more than [-] kilometers per day. This is considering the horse power. After all, there are a large number of cavalry among the Red Turban Army and the Qianyan Army. War horses cannot last as long as engines, and they have to carry out offensive operations to knock down castles owned by knights one after another to clear the way for follow-up troops. But even if the coalition forces maintain this speed, Mondstadt will be under the city in at most a month. The red flag is waving.
Under normal circumstances, if you really can't beat him, there's no shame in voting. After all, the county magistrate is a smooth man, and the lord is a tough guy. No matter who comes to power in the end, you have to rely on them if you want to govern Mondstadt.
However, when photos of a large number of knights and nobles turned into dried bacon after being put on public trial were sent back to Mondstadt, the knights' determination to resist to the end was instantly strengthened.
Although they still don't understand what class is, they at least understand that their enemies do this because they have no intention of negotiating with them.
As a result, the knights and nobles of Mondstadt were united as never before. Everyone with money contributed money and strength, and they had the return-to-home attitude of the big landowners who defended their own interests. They almost shouted "I, Hu Hansan, am back again" , Eat what is mine and spit it out for me, take what is mine and give it back to me.”
"Sorry, the Knights of the West Wind can't attack, at least not now."
As the acting leader, Qin decisively rejected the council's order to take the initiative.
"Captain Qin, please clarify your identity. You are just an acting commander, not the commander!"
"Yes, but I am the authorized acting captain, and I will not watch my subordinates die!"
"This is an order from the parliament. If you resolutely refuse to implement it, I will revoke your position as acting leader!"
"yes."
Qin smiled slightly, stood up and clapped her hands, and a group of fully armed knights crowded in from outside.
"Mr. Congressman, do you want to leave on your own, or should I beat you out?"
"you!"
Qin's expression changed and she said coldly: "No one from the Knights of the West Wind will leave Mondstadt City without my order. If you dare to give orders beyond your level, don't blame me for being rude!"
