Chapter 2773: Defensive Counterattack

The night was as dark as ink, covering this prosperous metropolis.

It had just experienced a change of rulers.

There were ruins everywhere.

However, on the streets, neon lights flickered faintly, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

The rebels were very happy.

"We finally captured a city. The next step is to attack other cities!"

"Yes, we have to recruit troops here."

Xiaomei looked at the ghost: "Ghost, what do you think?"

The ghost suddenly thought of this scene and felt very familiar.

What was so familiar about it?

Its intelligent system quickly gave him the answer.

He knew that the Emperor's Library once collected books from another world.

In fact, his body was built by another world.

He was fed a lot of war information.

"This is a bait." He suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Someone was dissatisfied. The metropolis they had fought so hard to conquer turned out to be a bait.

"Yes, you were in the dark before, and they couldn't find you."

"So they created such a big city, but what's the use of it?"

"Its only use is to enjoy, but the locals enjoy it. The real mastermind doesn't care about this city at all, they care about you."

Xiaomei understood immediately.

She felt something was wrong.

However, others retorted:

"Impossible, how can those idiots be so smart?"

"Yes, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun."

"We will soon be able to use this big city to recruit soldiers and produce materials. What we have to do now is to quickly resume production."

Hearing this, the ghost shook his head and stopped talking.

According to his observation of humans, as long as humans identify a fact, they will try their best to find evidence to prove that it is right.

And ignore what the facts are.

Few people can look at something soberly and without any prejudice.

Xiaomei hesitated when she saw this.

So many people said there was no problem, so there should be no problem, right?

Obviously, when she was weak, she was very resilient.

But now that she has the advantage, she doesn't know what to choose.

Ghost didn't say much.

He knew that he was new here and had no prestige to make these people listen to him.

Only iron and blood can tell them what is right.

Because the wrong ones will be eliminated.

Only the right ones can survive.

...

At this moment.

A group of members of the incense force are gathering in the suburbs of the city.

Their faces are full of pride.

Because they know that the rebels have fallen into the trap.

They are the few sober people, or the tax farmers who manage this land.

They know what they are doing and their minds are not rigid.

The reason is very simple.

If they are too rigid, the efficiency of harvesting incense will decrease.

For example, those who really regard the incense monster as a god are unlikely to abide by the scientific method of raising pigs.

Loyalty is loyal enough, but there are also blind loyalty among feudal ministers. Can they change the fate of the dynasty's demise?

They can't change it.

So, these managers are sober and know what they are doing.

Just like rare, rare also knows that they are rare, and their only idea is to make others become rare together.

And now the rebels have emerged and seized the city in one fell swoop.

This makes them feel much more relaxed.

They realize that the opportunity to solve the hidden dangers of this world has come.

And now they want to take the city back.

They have sent people to surround the entire city and are about to launch a counterattack.

This city has become their bait to capture the enemy.

And now, it has completed its mission.

…

The edge of the city.

The cavalry of the incense force surged like a tide.

They drove all kinds of high-tech weapons and equipment to surround the city.

The huge chariots rumbled on the ground, their muzzles aimed at the center of the city, as if they would fire deadly shells at any time.

In the air, drones hovered in the night sky, and their cameras kept scanning the ground, looking for members of the rebels.

Even underground, there were drillers digging forward.

…

In the central control tower.

The rebels were in a panic.

"How could this happen?"

"Why did they counterattack so quickly!"

"Ghost is right, this is a bait, a trap!"

"There are enemies all over the outside, we are surrounded!"

"Damn it, this is the commander's fault, she led us to death!"

Hearing these discussions, Xiaomei swayed and almost fainted.

Ghost stepped forward to help her.

"It doesn't matter, the worse situation is still to come." Ghost's comforting words almost made Xiaomei angry to death.

"What should we do now?"

"We must retreat immediately." Ghost said directly.

It is a common military practice to preserve the living force and retreat in exchange for time and space.

"No, how long have we endured?" Another person suddenly objected, "We should hold on to this city and use the repaired control tower and their defense system to fight back against them!"

The ghost looked at him, and the other person looked back without any sign of weakness.

When others heard this, they began to hesitate.

"I support him!"

"That's right, you are all cowards, the worst is to fight them!"

"Yes, death is death, I don't want to hide anymore!"

For a time, the crowd was furious.

These people would rather fight to the death with the enemy than retreat and escape.

The ghost didn't understand this mentality.

Isn't life the most precious?

Are these people going to die for their wrong decisions?

Soon these people abandoned Xiaomei.

When Wen Rensheng saw this, he couldn't help but nod.

This is war.

If you are weak, hesitant, or afraid, your subordinates will abandon you immediately.

Because everyone knows that following such a leader will only accomplish nothing and even get you killed.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that even if they die, they will not be able to win.

They are willing to sacrifice their lives if they can see victory.

Therefore, a commander should never show hesitation and fear in front of his subordinates.

You don’t have confidence in yourself anymore, so you still expect others to listen to you?

This is why all the emperors with real power were finished in the end, and only the emperors with virtual power survived.

This is the same reason. The emperor relies on family inheritance and cannot always be right when making decisions.

So someone will always rise up and overthrow the emperor.

This is something that the current ghost does not understand.

Soon everyone selected a new commander, a middle-aged man named Chen Yifei.

He immediately organized his team.

There are currently 700 rebels.

They were able to occupy this city naturally with the help of advanced technological weapons.

Everyone has exoskeleton armor, and energy weapons.

It can be said that all of them are small Gundams.

He arranged everyone's positions.

"We need to keep the enemy out of the city!"

He stood on a tall building protruding from the control tower.

He overlooked everything.

His eyes sparkled with determination and sacrifice.

He knew it would be a tough battle.

He began to use communication equipment and issued an order to all members: "Attention everyone, the enemy has begun to counterattack, and we must be ready to fight."

"Fight for the light, for our children, and for our lives!"

"Fight hard!"

Everyone shouted.

The ghost was touched.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

He couldn't understand it, but he couldn't help but be shocked.

After all, these people should know how powerful the enemy is.

Shocked and touched, he took Xiaomei all the way down the sewer and left.

"I can't run away!"

"No, this is not an escape!"

"There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that those who rely on food are heroes. It is also called keeping the green hills and not afraid of running out of firewood. It is also called tactical change." Ghost emphasized.

Xiaomei looked at him blankly: "I thought you were stupid, but it turned out that we were the stupid ones."

"What do you say?" Ghost asked as he ran.

"I've been using a fake name and you haven't noticed. Now it seems that it's just because you don't care about such trivial things."

"Yeah, I don't care."

As the two ran, they heard an explosion from above.

"That's our people fighting back!" Xiaomei said painfully.

Indeed, members of the resistance sprang into action.

They are scattered in every corner of the city, using the city's buildings and terrain for defense.

The weapons in their hands are also high-tech equipment, from energy rifles to micro-missiles, each of which is enough to cause a fatal blow to the enemy.

With the commander of the incense force giving an order, a battle officially broke out.

On the streets of the city, soldiers from both sides engaged in fierce exchanges of fire.

In contrast, the rebels' tactical abilities are still very strong.

Again, people in the incense force enjoy it every day.

Although relying on the absolute material advantage, a trap was set.

But when it comes to details, they are definitely not as meticulous as the rebels.

This is natural.

Those with advantages are always careless in various ways.

The beams of energy rifles were seen intertwining in the air, emitting dazzling light, as if tearing the night sky apart.

Micromissiles whizzed through the air, targeting enemy tanks and drones.

The chariots of the incense forces were directly smashed.

All of them are heavy tanks, 200 tons, with 200 mm of armor.

But in the face of modern weapons, it is just a coffin.

This caused trouble for the commander of the Incense Force.

Because this is already the most powerful weapon in his hand to attack the city.

Others, such as howitzers and missiles, are not suitable for attacking opponents in cities.

"Impossible, how can they have such advanced weapons?"

"Obviously they don't have any resources!"

He saw that he might fail.

"Send me more cannons and hit them directly!"

"Send planes to bomb!"

"Ignore the city, just blow it up into rubble!"

Then various heavy fires began to be fired on the city.

…

Chen Yifei stood by the window of the control tower, his eyes fixed on the battlefield.

His heart was filled with worry.

He knew that the enemy's strength was far beyond their expectations.

They must find a way to turn the tide of the war.

And his fingers were also tapping quickly on the communication equipment, issuing one order after another.

On the other side of the city, a female warrior of the rebel forces, Li Xiaoyu.

She was fighting fiercely with the enemy.

She was wearing an exoskeleton armor and holding an energy lightsaber. The lightsaber emitted a faint blue light, and every swing was powerful.

Her opponent was an enemy driving a heavy tank.

The armor of the tank armor was extremely hard.

Ordinary weapons could not cause any damage to it.

Even the bombardment of the howitzer could hardly destroy it.

However, it was vulnerable to energy weapons.

Li Xiaoyu flexibly dodged the tank's artillery and machine guns, and her body drew beautiful arcs in the air.

Her energy sword left deep marks on the outer shell of the tank.

The next moment, a big hole was punched in the tank!

The crew members hurriedly climbed out.

"Spare my life!" They raised their hands.

She looked at everyone and turned to look for the next target.

However, at this time, the tank commander secretly took out a pistol, aimed at her weak joints, and was about to shoot.

The next moment, the gunshot rang out.

The tank commander fell down.

A small-caliber gun appeared behind the opponent's mecha and shot him directly.

"If you don't resist, you can still live."

"You are all the running dogs of Xianghuo!"

Li Xiaoyu looked at everyone, and the lightsaber flashed by.

Everyone else was killed by her.

"Why do you want to kill us? We didn't attack you." One of the gunners struggled to death.

"I spared you and saved your life. He shot and attacked me, but you didn't remind me."

"If I was injured and captured by you, would I have a good end?"

"You knew this, but you didn't remind me. You have already died!"

She said coldly.

The gunner died, and he died without grievance.

Because he knew that the other party was right.

At this time, a burst of artillery fire came.

The plane also found Li Xiaoyu below.

The enemy's heavy artillery and aircraft tried to force Li Xiaoyu into a desperate situation.

However, she quickly hid in the ruins.

In this way, 700 elite rebel mechas actually persisted for several hours under the enemy's absolute superior firepower.

This surprised the ghost.

At this time, the city's buildings continued to collapse in the artillery fire, and the streets were full of ruins and debris.

Some innocent residents were involved in the battle.

Their homes were destroyed and their lives were threatened. The order of the city was completely broken in the war, and there was chaos and panic everywhere.

Chen Yifei stood in front of the screen of the control tower.

His heart was full of excitement and joy.

Of course, there was also a trace of anger and helplessness.

He knew that this battle had brought great damage to the city.

But he couldn't give up.

He had to protect the city occupied by the rebels.

The new ghost came up and said to retreat.

But after estimation, he knew more about the situation.

It is feasible to defend the first wave.

The enemy's technological level is just ordinary aircraft, artillery and tanks.

His side already had mechas and energy weapons.

Although they were at a disadvantage in number, their quality was extremely high.

In this way, he could gain greater prestige.

According to the results of the battle between the parties, the enemy's attack was contained.
