On the defense line near Shanping, the Dahua troops had just switched to defense. The positions of both sides were quite close, and the fierce battle was mixed with a small amount of tranquility.
Looking at some low figures walking around on the hillside in the distance, a soldier from the Great China Empire was obviously a little surprised.
"No, did you see? Why is there a child on the opposite position?" In the trench of the Dahua Empire, the soldier retracted his head and looked at his companions.
"Is it normal? How many people can there be in Fengjiang? Aren't children allowed to be sent to the battlefield during a fight?" His squad leader was smoking. This stuff became popular around the world with the goods of the Tang Empire. Many countries now have a large number of cigarettes.
People are contributing to tax revenue.
When the soldier heard his squad leader's explanation, he nodded in agreement and said, "What you said makes sense. However, I saw several of them just now, and I don't know what happened."
The squad leader dismissed his words: "Fight your battle well, the rifle that the damn kid is holding is not a rifle?"
Originally, the opponent's weapons were deadly, and hot weapons evened out the gap in physical fitness. No matter you were strong or thin, you only needed a pistol to have a fair duel.
Victory no longer favors those races that are good at fighting. The goddess of victory stands on the side of countries with more artillery, steel and oil.
After complaining, the squad leader of the Dahua Empire Army looked at his own defensive position again: "Check again, don't let anything go wrong then. The machine gun position is well hidden on the other side, don't let it be exposed again."
Behind them is the northernmost peripheral defense line of Shanping City. Once here, they basically have no room to retreat.
Although this place is far away from Fengjiang, this distance has now become Fengjiang's burden, but fighting here itself has made His Majesty the Emperor of the Dahua Empire very dissatisfied.
Although Zhao Zheng explained his intentions in detail in the telegram submitted, Zhao Kai still got angry in private and scolded Shen Chuan, who was responsible for the matter.
In the eyes of this emperor, or in the eyes of most people, retreating all the way is equated with failure. The lie of a great victory that comes all the way to one's own door is actually just a fig leaf.
.
Zhao Kai was very dissatisfied because Shanping was already the front line. He ordered Zhao Zheng to guard Shanping. If he retreated even half a step, he would be punished by military law.
Zhao Zheng, who was on the front line, also knew that his face was only worth so much to Zhao Kai, so he gave the order to his troops to defend the mountain screen and not to retreat even half a step.
After hearing the reminder from their squad leader, the soldiers of the Chinese Army who were setting up the defense line immediately replied: "I know!"
After so many days of training, they are no longer new recruits. Although they may not be able to defeat the Tang Army, they are all experienced in fighting our own people who are of similar level. Anyway, the Fengjiang Army is bullied because it does not have tanks, so the position can promote firepower.
The layout is more arrogant.
"The Fengjiang Army has been fighting fiercely in the past few days. It must have been a death order from above." These soldiers from the Great China Empire were still sighing, lamenting that their opponents seemed to have taken the wrong medicine these past few days and attacked them regardless of losses.
line of defense.
Just a few days ago, in order to capture a defensive position where the Dahua Empire's garrison was stationed, the orc mercenaries fought off 300 people. It didn't sound like a lot, but it was actually quite a lot.
"Boom!" Just as the Dahua defenders were talking, a shell fell on their position. Everyone shrank their necks and looked nervously to see if there was a second shell.
fall.
Soon, they heard the sharp sound of the air being torn apart. The squad leader was the first to lie down in the trench and shouted to remind everyone: "Lie down!"
Everyone fell to the ground at once, and another artillery shell landed at the rear of the position, kicking up a large amount of soil and falling into the trench, landing on the uniforms and helmets of the Dahua soldiers.
"The enemy is attacking!" The soldier who climbed up stuck his head out and saw the hillside in the distance. Some dwarfs began to rush out of their trenches.
These little dwarfs staggered on the soft soil due to their height, but they were indeed very ferocious, and a whole battalion was dispatched in the first attack.
Hundreds of soldiers were running wildly on the battlefield, which looked very spectacular. After a few seconds, the machine guns on the Dahua garrison's position rang out, and a row of tracer bullets swept through the crowd of Fengjiang troops, beating the "boys"
The soldiers were flying like chickens and dogs, and their horses were on their backs.
"Are they all children?" Seeing the Fengjiang troops in the distance with an average height of more than 1.4 meters, who looked like they were wearing helmets, the faces of these Dahua defenders were so wonderful.
Everyone can understand the occasional sighting of a few dwarfs, but this dark mass of third-grade students rushed out as if school was over, shocking everyone instantly.
But it was a shock. It was a life-and-death battle on the battlefield, and it was impossible to care about anything. What's more, these boy scouts were not real boy scouts, they were a group of demons who had killed people without blinking an eye.
Even though these goblins were law-abiding and well-behaved under the rule of the Tang Empire, they seemed like a group of oppressed child laborers. However, when they were in Beiyuan City and Dongwan Island, they were all soldiers in the true sense.
.
If the Tang Empire hadn't come, or if Tang Mo hadn't come, these Mirage soldiers would have even had a higher combat effectiveness than the armies of Zheng and Qi.
"Come on!" Since shouting any slogans was strictly prohibited, these goblins did not scream. Only the soldiers leading the group held up long knives that were about the same height as themselves, as powerful as targets.
I heard that these command knives were given as a gift by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, and some were specially made to reward the goblin officers who were willing to go to the front line to fight for freedom.
After getting these command knives, the goblin officers were so excited that some officers even didn't even carry their guns and just hung up their command knives to show off their power.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, the actual situation is that the length of the saber tailor-made for these goblins is about the same as a bayonet, and is probably only the length of the ceremonial sword of the Tang Empire officer.
half of.
You want to say mighty... In fact, it has nothing to do with might. These magical objects called mirage knives have a hint of tsundere cuteness mixed with their cold light...
Interestingly, the photo of the "goblin mercenary" with the mirage hanging on it was quickly spread back to the Mirage Kingdom, and it was widely praised and loved by everyone in the Mirage Kingdom.
In the end, the Mirage Kingdom bought the design drawings of the Mirage Knife, and even spent a sum of money to buy out the patent, making the Mirage Knife a "traditional" equipment exclusive to the military commanders of the Mirage Kingdom.
In fact, they thought too much. Apart from the Mirage Kingdom, only the Dwarf Empire might be interested in this kind of dagger - but the dwarves of the Ice Empire disliked the scimitar as being too thin and not in line with their tough aesthetic.
Watching a group of children rushing towards me with daggers raised high, it was actually a bit joyous. But the goblins quickly proved that their existence was not an accident with their traditional madness.
Apart from their height and evil savagery, we have to admit that these dwarfs are actually very good warriors. Their fearless attacks were once a nightmare for Zheng Guo.
"Ahhhhh!" A goblin soldier screamed frighteningly as he jumped into the trench. His face was covered with bright red grease, which looked like blood.
This is the tradition of soldiers in certain areas of the goblin army. They used to be painted black and gray. However, the Tang Empire thought it was too dirty and changed it to grease. The goblins chose red themselves. They thought it could highlight their bravery and loyalty.
.
The bayonet on his rifle stabbed directly into the chest of a Dahua soldier in the trench, but the goblin soldier was not spared either. He was also picked up by the opponent's bayonet and hung in the air.
Both sides fell together, and more goblins jumped into the trenches. Because of their height, the probability of falling down was very high for goblins entering the trenches. Before they could get up, Dahua soldiers would pounce on them and kill them.
"Ah!" More goblins rushed forward, and the bodies of goblin soldiers could be seen everywhere along the way. Three to four hundred people launched an attack together, but maybe not even 100 people rushed forward.
But the goblins, whose ferocious nature had been inspired by the blood, had turned red-eyed. They vented their anger like evil ghosts, knocking down and killing the soldiers of the Dahua Army one by one.
Who knows how they lived in the Tang Empire during these ten years? Who knows what price they paid for what they did?
Thinking of those coal mines that used to be dark, thinking of those hundreds of kilometers of tunnels, I have to wake up under a whip dipped in water every day, and every time I take a break, I have to calculate my work points and think about whether I will be hurt by labor.
If the results were not enough, he would be hung up and beaten...
Compared with these, what are the sparse artillery fire and the gasping sound of machine guns in the Great China Empire? Just kidding, have you ever been to the outskirts of Beiyuan City? Have you ever experienced the real purgatory where steel and flames are intertwined?
The prison guards who deliver meals in the Tang Dynasty are more ferocious than you! The sticks in the hands of the prison guards below the mines are more terrifying than your cannons! We goblin mercenaries will die, even if we jump from here, we will not go back to dig coal! This
It's true! Don't lie!
As they kept thinking and killing, the goblins found that all the Dahua soldiers were kneeling on the ground and raising their hands in surrender.
This time the goblins were very civilized, because they remembered the rule of surrendering their guns and not killing, and the instructor who taught the class was kind-hearted, but every word he said was an edict to these goblins, engraved into their bones.
The instructor didn't threaten anything, he just said lightly: "Humans cannot be killed, remember?"
No one dares to forget that these goblins learned one thing in ten years: they must listen to what the Tang people say.
