1271 Chapter 1272: Siege 5
Since Neumann entered the lord's mansion, no professional has ever seen the lord come out of it, as if he was planning a huge conspiracy.
As night fell on the fourth day, in the hidden stronghold located in the wealthy area near the gate of the inner city, Anbu's agents were gathering in the room, and the magic lamp lit up the whole room.
The agent nicknamed Lightning stood by the table and reported the information he had just collected: "The gates of the inner city are still sealed, and the situation in the inner city can be seen from the heights of the outer city, but the movement of the Lord's Mansion is completely unclear. Nuo Yiman seems to have locked the lord's mansion inside..."
Another agent also stood up: "There is no sign of the nobles in the inner city fleeing..."
"The militia began to move in an orderly manner. Some were preparing to attack important strongholds, and some were blocking various intersections. We previously spread the news that the nobles of the Lord's Mansion were planning to flee. Now it seems that the news has worked."
"A part of the soldiers in the outer city were persuaded by the revolutionaries to disarm them on their own initiative. They walked out from several garrison points in the outer city. The arsenal and granary had already fallen into our hands. Except for the soldiers on the city wall who were still stubbornly resisting. , the soldiers in other places are already our own people.”
While listening to the reports from his subordinates, German quietly fiddled with the dagger in his hand. He seemed to be waiting for something, with an absent-minded look on his face.
With the current strength of the city, it is still too difficult to defeat the defenders of Anderus.
A subordinate finally noticed the situation of his boss, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Virgin, are you listening?"
"I'm listening." German waved his hand casually, and then stuck the dagger in his waist.
"When the time comes to break through the inner city, Neumann must hand it over to me." Germain said suddenly.
All the agents nodded one after another, even the agents of the Sixth Army's Intelligence Department were no exception.
The credit for capturing Neumann alive is even greater, but many agents don't want him to live on. Only because Neumann caused huge casualties to Anbu during this period.
Two agents from the empire sacrificed, and more than 30 agents developed from the Andnus area sacrificed. in love.
In the dark night, the faint lights of the stars flicker in the dark streets and alleys.
The increasingly cold night wind passes through the buildings, carrying the rancid smell from the corner of the gutter and blowing through the streets and alleys. The ancient buildings stand in this dead and cold night, and the stars shine from the eternal sky. It sprinkled, sprinkled on the roofs, and in the shadows between the roofs, from time to time, people flashed by.
Those figures flashing by the starlight, with nervous and determined expressions, took slightly panicked steps in the dark, passing a message among neighbors, relatives, and friends that they need to lower their voices.
"Waiting for three shots at dawn."
Thorne walked on the dark street, and the night wind in the early morning seemed to carry malice, which made him shiver slightly.
He didn't know whether the trembling was due to fear or excitement, or just plain cold, but he felt as if there was a flame burning in his chest. With this flame, he dared to leave the door at this time, walk to the streets.
The curfew order issued by the nobles in the outer city has long since disappeared, and the soldiers and professionals patrolling the streets have all disappeared. The outer city has been out of control for several days, and an undercurrent that was originally hidden in the darkness is emerging. It has been rising gradually these days, and now it has finally come to its breaking point.
A new figure appeared on the dark street. Thorne hesitated a little, but he quickly recognized that figure was his familiar comrade in arms. The two people's footsteps quickly approached, and they looked at each other's faces in the dark. expression, lowered his voice and asked softly: "Three gunshots as an order?"
"Three gunshots are the order."
A swaying flame came out from a street corner not far away. Thorne and Luke immediately looked in the direction of the flame. They saw people holding torches. They were all comrades in arms holding rifles. They wore various clothes, but The rifles in his hands are all unified Bayi-style horse rifles.
The captain at the head threw the rifle on his back to Thorn: "Don't hide it, it's already a capital offense if you go out."
Thorne took the rifle, pressed the bullets into the chamber, and took the three rows of bullets handed over by another comrade-in-arms, a total of fifteen bullets, plus the loaded bullets, a total of twenty bullets.
This is the last strength of the militia, 5,000 rifles, plus 250,000 rounds of ammunition.
More and more people came out of their homes, some were craftsmen, some were farmers, and some were apprentices. These skinny people seemed to come out of hell, but there were flames beating in the eye sockets of each of them. Gathered among them, and more and more torches and oil lamps gradually illuminated the streets and alleys as the crowd gathered. In the flickering firelight, there were pairs of eyes that were still chaotic but extremely firm.
They silently followed the Revolutionary Army with rifles at the forefront. Once the brothers of the Revolutionary Army fell, they immediately replaced them. Each of them held five bullets in their hands.
"Three shots and go."
"Remember, those with white cloth belts on their arms are comrades-in-arms."
"Where are your friends outside the city?"
"They've arrived..."
Thorn held up the torch and cast his gaze towards the city head due west. On the dark city wall, a little fire was flickering.
The soldier guarding the city gate nervously looked at the situation under the city wall with a lantern. Beside him were two other soldiers who were as nervous as himself. Countless flickering flames in the crowd.
The United Army also began to act.
The two sides faced each other silently like this, and the defenders on the city wall did not let the revolutionary army retreat, because they all knew that at this point, either you or I will die.
The two sides faced each other silently, and Thorne clearly saw that soldiers on the city wall had already raised their bows and rifles.
As a border trade and smuggling city, why didn't they purchase the hottest firearms and rifles in the Outer Continent?
A large number of second-hand revolvers and single-shot breech-loading rifles flowed into Andnus from the people.
Not to be outdone, the militiamen of the Revolutionary Army raised their rifles and took aim.
The torches of both sides also began to slowly go out, and neither could see each other.
This kind of confrontation has already occurred in various places in Anderus City, but they are very restrained from each other, and the city defense troops and professionals who used to be arrogant are also very restrained.
Just because the unified army outside the city began to press on.
