Chapter 1040: No gifts for this year's festival (seeking a monthly ticket)(1/2)
Following the order, a group of soldiers in front of the formation let out earth-shattering shouts,
Like a tide, it rushed towards Zinderen Fortress.
Under the destructive attack of the artillery, the originally majestic and towering city wall had long been dilapidated. Many places even collapsed, forming huge gaps.[]
Even an ordinary fat lady can easily climb in, let alone these agile soldiers.
In just a few breaths, these commandos were already climbing up the damaged city wall.
They roared and rushed up to the city wall, gripping the swords in their hands, ready to fight the oncoming enemies in a bloody battle.
They all know the basics of siege warfare, and the first three minutes before charging onto the city are extremely critical.
Whether they can gain a foothold on the city wall and expand their victory depends on whether they can withstand the enemy's crazy attack in the first three minutes.
As long as they could withstand it and the subsequent reinforcements could successfully follow up and seize the city, they would have achieved success.
But if you can't stand it, you will be driven back by the enemy. This is a life-and-death battle. Only one party can survive.
Therefore, each of them stared red-eyed and prepared to fight fiercely. They were even prepared to sacrifice.
When they boarded the city, they immediately screamed at the top of their lungs and let out earth-shattering howls. While screaming wildly, they waved their swords as much as possible to cover their vital parts to fend off the enemy's attacks from the city.
But the strange thing is that after they rushed up, they found that the top of the city was just empty and there was no one at all.
At a glance, the top of the city is full of broken limbs, broken spears, broken swords, broken armors, burning battle flags, and billowing smoke that covers the sky and the sun.
Messy.
Their shouts suddenly stopped, and they all stared blankly at what was happening in front of them.
At this time, another soldier jumped in from outside the wall, howling.
The young soldier was so nervous that he didn't even notice that everyone had stopped. Instead, he took the lead and rushed through the crowd, shouting, until he reached the front.
While shouting, he held the sword in his hand across his left chest, ready to block the enemy's attack, but there was no one on the left. He hurriedly turned around and turned to the right, but there was no one on the right either.
So, he howled and turned to the left.
He turned back and forth four or five times, and then he realized that there was no enemy in front of him. He couldn't help but feel doubtful, but he still screamed. However, due to his exhaustion, the scream sounded very weird, like a slaughtered rooster.
Same.
At this moment, someone next to him finally couldn't hold it any longer and slapped him on the head. He shouted angrily: "Stop howling~!"
The soldier was immediately staggered by the slap and fell forward several steps before stopping.
In shock, he hurriedly swung the knife and swung it wildly behind him a few times in a panic, trying to block the imaginary enemy's attack as much as possible.
But then he heard a familiar voice yelling angrily: "Don't fight, it's me~!" The soldier couldn't help but be startled, and then he became brave and tried hard to straighten the helmet that blocked his sight, and then he could clearly see the face of the man opposite.
, there was a moment of lag.
He turned around, looked at the empty city, and then looked at the man, and then stammered: "Sir, what's going on? Where are our enemies?" The officer snorted.
With a sound, he pointed to the place on the top of the city.
Fragments, said: "Quintus, you mean enemies? Aren't they all those on the ground?" Quintus was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the ground cautiously. He saw that the ground was full of burnt black and red things, but there were also
I can't recognize what this is.
Out of curiosity, I reached out and picked one up, only to realize that it was actually a finger of someone, a finger that had been burnt.
In shock, he couldn't help but scream, stretched out his hand and threw the thing away. Then he wiped his hands on his clothes vigorously.
The soldiers nearby suddenly burst into gloating laughter.
Quintus couldn't help but cursed, then looked down at the city wall under his feet, and murmured: "Do we think we have captured the Zinderen Fortress? Isn't this too easy? Why do I feel like I'm with you?
Like a dream?"
Someone next to him looked at him jokingly and said, "What? Do you want me to slap you and help you wake up?"
Quintus immediately took a half step back cautiously. As a rookie in the army, he was often bullied by the veterans.
Someone next to me said: "Okay, Doge, don't be too bullying."
Immediately, he turned his head again, smiled and cursed at Quintus: "No wonder Doge said that to you.
I’ve never seen a bitch like you, you have to fight with these Southern guys and lose your arms or something, then you feel comfortable?”
Everyone burst into laughter immediately.
Seeing that everyone was in confusion, the officer immediately shouted: "Okay, stop making trouble. You bastards, be careful~! Our people will be coming up soon."
No matter what they do, as long as the reinforcements arrive, we will have done a great job."
Everyone agreed, held their weapons, and stood on the inside of the city wall, consolidating their positions and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
At this moment, a burst of commotion was seen in the city.
Countless figures ran out from every corner of the city, rushed onto the street, and then gathered on the main road...,
The officer couldn't help being shocked and shouted angrily: "Get ready to fight, prepare to fight." The soldiers suddenly became nervous, the enemy was about to attack~!
They all lowered their bodies, gripped the weapons in their hands, and prepared for battle.
But then a strange phenomenon was discovered. After those people ran out, they did not attack this side, but turned around and ran towards the other side.
In the billowing smoke, it quickly disappeared at the city gate on the other side.
Faintly, their shouts can still be heard.
"Run away quickly."
"The enemy is too powerful."
"General Mela has already run away."
"If you don't run, you'll die."
"…………"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
In a short while, more troops had swarmed up to the top of the city, and then rushed down the stairs along the stairs, rushed into the city, and began to search along the streets, cleaning out the remaining enemies house by house.
At this time, the commandos had completely relaxed. They were leaning against the battlement wall with their weapons in their arms, watching the reinforcements passing by quickly.
Some people couldn't help but murmured: "You won just like that? You can't blame Quintus for saying it was like a dream. This battle was too easy. It was really too easy."
Next to him, Doge was squatting on the ground, carefully rolling tobacco leaves and listening to his words, he couldn't help but said: "Simple? With those cannons, this war will be so simple in the future.
Let’s just wait for the salary reduction~!”
Everyone's hearts suddenly trembled.
Someone murmured: "No way? We are a commando team. We are highly skilled in martial arts. We are all outstanding in the army and we are called the number one."
Doge sneered and said: "Strong martial arts? That's useless~!"
Everyone saw it just now. The cannon exploded and the earth shattered. Even the King of Heaven couldn't hold it back.
You are very skilled in martial arts, can you withstand this?"
Everyone couldn't help but feel depressed for a while.
Dogger was unforgiving and continued: "With them, what use are we big-headed soldiers who only know how to use swords and guns besides eating for free?
It is not impossible to reduce wages or to be sent home."
While talking, he had already rolled a cigarette.
He looked at it happily, lit the cigarette, took a long drag on the cigarette, then spit out the cigarette residue, and leaned against the battlement wall intoxicated.
The soldiers nearby were all silent for a while.
At this time, a wave of cheers was heard in the city.
Everyone couldn't help being shocked, and they all leaned forward and looked towards the city.
I saw that the tiger war flag that originally represented General Hadou had been lowered at the city guard's office in the center of the city.
On the other side, representing the Laohe troops, the huāhuā green and patterned United Nations flag is slowly rising.
The crowd immediately burst into cheers.
Zinderen Fortress has been taken over~!
But then, they all involuntarily looked towards the cannons in the distance outside the city.
The cannon was indeed easy to use, but it also caused a strong professional crisis in the hearts of these warriors.

Behind Zinderen Fortress is the most fertile land in the south. The terrain here is flat and flat. There is no danger to defend.
Its fall also marked that two-thirds of the southern region was under the iron heel of Lao He's troops.
Hundreds of thousands of troops passed through this mountain pass in a mighty manner and smoothly penetrated into the hinterland of the south.
It only took less than a month to recover this large area of land.
Wherever he went, noble officials from various places either abandoned their posts and fled or surrendered.
