In the winter of the Mirage Kingdom, where the breath has begun to smell white, the sound of artillery has not completely stopped. The orc troops have been carrying out what they call demolition work, and one cannon after another vents their suppressed emotions for thousands of years.
They have never fought such a rich battle! In front of the Western Wall Fortress, they only had Cyric flintlock guns in their hands! Facing the Qin's artillery and machine guns, they didn't even have room to fight back.
It's different now. The weapons in their hands are more advanced than their opponents' weapons, and their ammunition is more abundant than their opponents' ammunition... This battle is really interesting.
Hiding in the trenches every day, drinking hot water, enjoying the warmth brought by sweaters and cotton-padded clothes, and listening to the sound of shells tearing the air overhead, this is real life!
On an ordinary day, in an ordinary morning, the bombardment of the Orc troops started again. The roar of the 155 howitzer became the whistle for the mirage army to wake up in the morning. Every time they heard this terrifying sound, they would get up from various places.
The day's battle begins.
It is actually not accurate to call it a battle, because they will not take the initiative to attack the orcs, they will just continue to strengthen the destroyed barricades and trenches, and then continue to survive such a difficult day in the ruins.
Compared with the orc army, the mirage army's winter preparations seemed a bit too slow. They did not have enough cotton clothes or enough fuel, so they could only find some things in the ruined city to keep out the cold.
The good news is that after the houses collapsed, there seems to be a lot of wood that can be burned directly. The bad news is that there are fewer and fewer houses, and there are not many places left to protect them from wind and rain.
Some of the remaining houses were used as hospitals to house the wounded. In order to avoid being attacked, huge red crosses were painted on the roofs of these houses. This was inherited from the field hospital logo of the Tang Empire to indicate
The purpose of the building.
Under normal circumstances, the Tang Empire's planes would not attack such a building, but the Orc army's planes were very unreasonable.
Don't ask, it's because your skills are not very good and you didn't avoid public welfare facilities such as hospitals. Anyway, the goblins in the Mirage Kingdom have no place to reason, so the orcs are a little unscrupulous.
Shanru walked through a trench that looked to have been fortified, with sandbags on both sides and wooden planks for support.
The soldiers in the trenches were sitting together enjoying their breakfast. To be honest, since the port dock behind them was built, their food treatment has continued to improve.
They have never enjoyed such high-level treatment. Where have they seen such luxurious food in the orc empire, where the sky is full of yellow sand? Just kidding, those tribal priests and elders would not dare to eat like this in their homes!
The food standard for frontline troops actually includes candies, cereal that can be eaten with water, and some special luncheon meat! Is this a delicacy that civilians can enjoy? This is a feast that only the Beast King can afford, okay!
That's lunch meat! Although two-thirds of it is starch, it's real oil and water inside! It tastes of salt and spices. Some orc soldiers have lived their whole lives and have come here to die before they can enjoy this kind of food.
Yes, from now on, many orcs have been dragged directly from the desert of the orc empire to the battlefield.
The Tang Empire no longer trains these soldiers. After all, the loss rate of the orc troops has been reduced to a bearable range, so the Datang Empire began to transfer civilians who have not received military training to the main island.
It's just that these types of civilians have to work, or they are directly recruited to join the army, or they continue to work as laborers on the island... In short, the tasks are very arduous.
"How is it? Is the enemy very fierce?" Shanru stood in front of an orc veteran and showed a smile. Frankly speaking, Shanru is definitely a handsome guy among the orcs. He is probably seven points taller.
He looks like a human, so he was chosen and became the leader of the orcs.
This is a typical case where good looks represent justice. Only those orcs who are not disgusted by the officials of the Tang Dynasty who are responsible for screening will be allowed to become mid- to high-level orc officers.
There is no way, what if His Majesty the Tang Emperor is about to meet a few orc generals and is disgusted? Who is responsible? So this kind of thing must be prepared in advance, right? Even if you are a little stupid, as long as you are handsome - this is
Orc selection criteria.
As for the female orcs... As long as those cat-eared girls are not too ugly, they are very popular: in bars, romantic shops, maids, waiters... In short, the demand for cat-eared girls in the Tang Empire is endless.
The King of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace. The Emperor of Tang had a cat-eared concubine, so how could anyone have the nerve to say that he was an aristocratic lord of the Tang Empire if he didn’t have an orc concubine?
"General!" The veteran followed the script, as if he had just discovered that the orc Lieutenant General Shanlu had walked in front of him. He put down the lunch box in his hand, stood up and saluted: "I am willing to fight for His Majesty the Tang Emperor!"
Shan Lu waved his hand with satisfaction, indicating that the other party should not be so restrained: "This is our new home! For the great Emperor Tang, and for the future of the orcs! We must all move forward bravely!"
While he was talking, the photographer standing on the trench was carrying a camera, and there was a whole row of tripods next to him with new cameras. Some advanced guys also had long lenses hanging on them, which looked like a
Quite a heavy machine gun.
Under the tunnel, behind Shan Lu, there were also many photographers standing. They were wearing various clothes. Some were from the "Datang Empire Daily" and some had "Chang'an Weekly" printed on their backs.
Professional equipment is controlled by professional people, and the Tang Empire has begun to use ultra-high-definition color images in television broadcasts - although there is still a long way to go between ultra-definition and true ultra-definition at this time, the images are indeed clear enough to make people laugh.
to the point where many details can be distinguished.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, the technological progress of the Tang Empire has changed people's lives. With the launch of satellites one after another, humans' understanding of the planet they live on is gradually improving.
For the first time, people use the perspective of the universe to overlook the world they live in. This in itself is a miracle, a great miracle.
The scene has advanced to Shanru raising his arms and loudly encouraging his soldiers. All the soldiers present also raised their arms, cheering and shouting.
Each of these soldiers looks crooked, but they are all powerful. The strong orcs are wearing military uniforms that have been phased out by the Tang Empire, wearing M35 helmets, and holding Mauser rifles... This scene really makes people laugh and cry.
.
If it weren't for the fact that their lips couldn't cover their big yellowed teeth, if it weren't for the American oval grenades hanging on their waists, and if it weren't for the fact that they were wearing simple tactical vests made of canvas, it would really feel like they had traveled through time.
That's right, this is a staged photoshoot and a publicity. Every orc present is carefully selected. They are all strong and powerful, and can be called a model "pace-setter".
The entire picture must be carefully designed, even the shooting angle, the position where the characters stand, and the gestures are particular.
These propaganda documentaries will be sent back to the Tang Empire and then used for political propaganda. This is a bold attempt in the modern public opinion war, and it is also opening up a new battlefield in the media war.
On the other side, in front of a bunker that had long been captured by the orcs, dozens of orcs were crawling forward. Next to them stood reporters and photographers who were recording videos. These orc soldiers wanted to recreate as much as possible the time when they stormed the place.
Bunker scene.
On the machine gun position in the distance, the Orc soldier holding the machine gun was very nervous, because the lens of a camera was about to poke into his face. He was very ugly, and he never thought that one day he would be photographed.
Photos for others to admire...
A group of goblin captives were sitting in the canteen, looking at the sumptuous food in front of them, their calves were trembling. They had never enjoyed such high treatment since they were captured.
Suddenly, they were pulled out of their tents in the prisoner of war camp and pushed onto a table full of food, making them think they were about to be executed.
The photographer who shot the documentary didn't care about this. He just used a camera to record such precious historical scenes from a distance: the goblin captives were well taken care of, they could enjoy sumptuous food, and lived in a spacious and bright place.
To be able to do such a thing, the orcs, and the Tang Empire that leads the orcs, are naturally just, civilized, and great...
"Okay! That's enough." The human carrying the camera walked out of the cafeteria and said this before leaving.
The orc soldiers, who had been impatient for a long time, picked up the poor goblin prisoners and escorted them back to the prison camp.
The goblins were glad that they didn't have to die, and the orcs continued to enjoy their delicious meal after they came back, so... everyone was happy.
At the southwest end of the island, on the edge of the city where a large number of orcs have begun to immigrate, a huge thermal power plant has begun operation.
The orcs finally have a factory of their own, and they also have their own workers. Now that they have electricity, their whole life begins to become brighter.
Although a large number of power lines are open wires, and the power poles are designed to be lifted into the air for rapid deployment, this combination has indeed allowed the city to popularize electricity as quickly as possible.
Cheers rose one after another, and the orc civilians were excited for the happy life they had ushered in. But the goblins who originally lived nearby were being escorted by orc soldiers at this time, leaving forever the land where they had lived for generations.
When ten people praise you, there are always three people who curse you. Even more people curse you...
