Chapter 991: Make Tea and Defeat Ten Thousand Soldiers (Please Vote for the Super Large Chapter)

"Report to the leader, the vanguard troops have entered the siege area. Do you want to continue to go deeper and deploy siege equipment?"

Under the radiant projections, a question sounded from the communicator.

"Keep going deeper,"

The bearded man looked away from the projection and looked at the silent high wall in front of him.

The clouds covered the stars and covered up the last ray of light in the sky. Under the dark night, the majestic and huge wall stood in front of dense spots of light like a barrier at the end of the world.

He spoke slowly and continued, "The whole army continues to move forward and prepare to attack the city."

Wick

The speeding floating fighter jets flew through the sky mixed with the mechas.

"General, we will arrive at Beicheng in thirty minutes at most."

On the simple control panel, the appearance of a long-haired officer appeared in front of Scott.

"too slow,"

Scott raised his head and looked at the high wall in the distance that seemed to go straight into the clouds. "Let the heavy-armed troops at the rear separate from the main team, and the light-armed troops and aerial troops increase their speed to the maximum."

"yes!"

The long-haired officer nodded heavily and cut off the communication.

"Hasn't there been any news from the Prisoners Gang yet?"

Scott withdrew his gaze and looked at the correspondent beside him.

"No news, General,"

The correspondent shook his head, "We have been trying to contact him, but there is no news from either the big coach or the several coaches who have contacted us before."

"Is there any news from the Nancheng City Defense Force?"

Scott raised his head, looked forward, and continued to ask.

"The Nancheng City Defense Army has blocked the entire high wall. The entire Nancheng City Defense Army is guarding the city. The City Defense Army soldiers we bribed have not reported any information yet,"

The correspondent shook his head, "But judging from the information sent back by the spies outside the high wall, the siege of the Ivis Space System mercenary group is still continuing, and it is very likely that it has caused major damage to the city gate. South City should be here soon. It’s about to be breached.”

"Put me through the communications of Director Renser of Nordbank,"

Scott looked forward and said directly.

"OK."

The correspondent quickly clicked the button in front of him.

Following a brief busy tone, a gentle man wearing glasses appeared on the projection on the console.

The man looked at Scott with a smile, "Isn't this the future mayor of our Yilan City? It seems that your plan has encountered a problem?"

"Lynn was trickier than we thought,"

Scott said calmly, "He should have controlled the city defense troops I left in North City by now."

"That surprised me a little bit,"

Rense's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his original state and smiled, "But this is a war between your city defense forces. What can I do? We can't interfere."

"Stop pretending to be confused,"

Scott glanced at the smile on Lenser's face, "Can't you hear the artillery fire from the Ivis Space System attacking the south city? The Ivis Space System and Copes Mining have formed a short-lived alliance, attacking the city from the north and south. , do you Nolde want Yilan City to be completely controlled by the Ives Space System and Copes Mining?"

"Wufus who grow muscles into their brains like chaos, but we are just the opposite. Disorderly chaos will make the originally stable market panic and irrational,"

Renser sighed, "You can't even imagine how the stock market will fall tomorrow morning."

"Okay, don't be miserable,"

Scott said hoarsely, "Whether it's a loss or an increase, you can make a fortune."

"Short-term profits are certainly huge, but long-term stability is more important. Of course, a little chaos is also the most beautiful embellishment of order, letting everyone know that our current life is hard-won,"

Renser shook his head and looked at Scott with a smile, "In fact, we are very supportive of you,"

Then he paused and said meaningfully, "But I thought you would choose to cooperate with Lin En to jointly resist the mercenary group of Copes Mining. After we jointly defend against foreign enemies, we can handle the 'family affairs' internally and have a decisive battle." Win or lose.”

“Covey cannot resist the attack of the Ivis Space System, and Beicheng cannot resist the Copes Mining Mercenary Group, which has a stronger military force than the Ivis Space System.

"The cooperation between Lin En and I is just to gather together a North City defense force that will be easily defeated. The outcome of this war has already been determined, and,"

Scott answered calmly, "Lynn must die, he is too dangerous."

"certainly,"

Lenser laughed, "The only time the city needs a new mayor is when there is no mayor."

He looked at Scott, still with a formula-like gentle smile on his face,

"General Scott, I think this may be the reason why the board of directors is optimistic about you. You have a clear goal and you can do whatever it takes to achieve this goal, but at the same time you have a very clear self-positioning and can clearly see changes in the situation and adjust your position. ,

"I believe that in the future, there will definitely be a place for you on the big stage of the Federation."

The question he just asked was whether Scott would still 'walk alone' and run to cooperate with Linn, and Scott also gave him the answer.

"However, although the outcome of the war has already been determined,"

Then Renser changed his words and said, "If you can deal with Linn before Copes Mining, it will be easier for us to help you."

"He won't survive."

Scott answered calmly.

"Of course, we all regret to know that the respected Mr. Lin En has passed away soon. I believe that soon, Yilan City will return to its prosperous and stable road,"

Lenser smiled and said, "May God bless you, our new mayor."

Cutting off the communication, Scott looked up at the high wall that was getting closer and closer in front of him.

He seemed to see an old lion standing on the high wall, being burned by the raging flames. Even if he struggled hard, he would inevitably die.

It is almost inevitable that the Copes mercenary group will break through the city, and Linn will definitely die. The only difference is who can kill him first.

Lynn.

He looked at the majestic high wall, his dark eyes as deep as the abyss.

The city's new ruler will be born from the corpse of the old ruler.

Beicheng Command Center

The young officer walked to the door of the office and glanced at the old man sitting in the office reading a book.

The old man still sat there quietly, without speaking or making any big movements. The sound of turning pages one by one echoed in the air.

The young officer opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to ask something, but in the end he couldn't ask anything. He just sighed inaudibly and retreated to the corner of the corridor.

He glanced up at the guards in the corridor.

The corridor, which used to be crowded with people, was now eerily silent. The quiet young officer seemed to be able to hear the heartbeats of other people around him.

Everyone tensed up their muscles, but tried their best to make the expressions on their faces not look so hard.

······

Sitting behind the old desk, Mead stared at the pistol in his hand. He carefully looked at the firearm that was already covered with signs of wear and tear.

Then he took out the cotton swabs and maintenance oil, raised his hand, pulled the buckle, removed the slide, and disassembled the gun into parts one by one.

The artillery fire at the end of the city faded away amid the crisp mechanical sounds. The night outside the window was surprisingly quiet, just like every ordinary and ordinary night.

——

Dense spots of light gather under the towering walls.

The missile launchers were debugged one by one, and the heavy cannons were quickly set up on the soft ground.

A cool wind blew under the cloudy sky, seeming to moisten the surrounding air.

"The vanguard is forming its formation"

"The second group of the first regiment enters the combat area"

"The third group of the first regiment entered the combat area"

······

A quick and concise announcement sounded in the communicator.

The bearded man lowered his head, staring at the video projection in front of him, and at the behemoth sky beast falling from the sky.

Then he raised his head and looked at the still silent high wall. After a brief pause, he turned his head and looked at the mountains beside him.

Then he raised his hand and manipulated the console, and a panoramic map was projected in front of him.

He adjusted the map so that he was on the side of the defending army.

Viewed from this perspective, the terrain outside the north city of Yilan City roughly presents a '??'-shaped trumpet shape, with high walls running across it, towering and steep mountains to the left of the diagonal line to the west, and towering and steep mountains to the right of the diagonal line to the east. plain.

Mountainous areas cannot transport a large amount of equipment, so the mercenary groups travel to the eastern plains, where caravans often travel, the roads are easy to walk, and they are more suitable for large-scale marches.

The entire combat area, that is, the area between the diagonal lines and the horizontal lines, is located in a small triangular plain area within the 'horn'. This area is wide enough to deploy troops to attack the city, and it is close enough to the city wall.

At this moment, the vanguard of the mercenary group had entered the triangular plain, and he himself was at the mouth of the trumpet.

The bearded man looked up at the gun ports on the city wall, then glanced at the sky, and pressed a communication button next to him, "How many troops have entered the combat area now?"

"Nearly one-third, Captain."

The communicator responded quickly.

"What's the weather supposed to be like tonight at the weather observation site?"

The bearded man continued to ask.

"It should be... a sunny day?"

There seemed to be some hesitation on the communicator, "But it seems like it's going to rain now?"

The bearded man lowered his head and glanced at the ground under the night sky. At this moment, part of the wheels of the vehicle ahead was sinking into the soft soil and slowly moving forward.

The soil in the northern plains of Yilan is relatively loose. Although there are good trade roads for convoys to pass through, there is no way for so many troops to travel on several trade roads. Most of the vehicles of the entire mercenary group are walking on mud. of.

Although all mercenary regiment vehicles are off-road vehicles adapted to the wilderness, with heavy siege equipment on their backs, these vehicles can only be said to be able to move forward normally in the wilderness.

This soil quality, once it rains.

The bearded man raised his head and looked at the silent, seemingly undefended city. In an instant, all the clues were connected in his mind.

Linn, terrain, rain clouds, Nancheng, reinforcements.

He stared at the video from Nancheng in front of him, pressed another communicator button, and shouted without hesitation, "Stop the entire army's advance. The front army will act as the rear army and withdraw from the combat area immediately."

"ah?"

An officer's voice immediately sounded in the communicator, "Big Beard, what happened? According to our intelligence, there are only some stragglers left in the north city of Yilan City. We are almost at the city gate. We will be there in half an hour at most. Can break through the city gate and take the city.”

This is the leader of the second mercenary group of Copes, and he is also the adjutant of this large mercenary group that merged the two mercenary groups.

"We just received news from the reconnaissance team that the Ives Space System Mercenary Group was attacked in South City. It was flanked by the city defense army and unknown troops. I'm afraid they will lose."

The bearded man looked up at the projected map, his voice hoarse.

"There are still reinforcements in Yilan City?!"

The person on the communication side was a little shocked and subconsciously raised his voice.

"It is going to rain."

The bearded man did not reply to him, but just raised his head and glanced at the sky.

"The rain will make it a bit muddy at most, which will affect the movement of vehicles, but as long as we deploy and fix the equipment...and so on,"

The officer on the other side of the communicator paused, "The trumpet-mouth terrain is the most suitable terrain for siege. As long as their army locks the bell-mouth, with high walls on one side and high mountains on the other, and rainy weather affecting traffic, we will be directly attacked." Surrounded here and become a living target,"

Then he couldn't help but curse, "This damn weather, it was sunny just a moment ago, why did it suddenly... No, it's not the weather, it's an extraordinary ability, some extraordinary item that changes the weather! This is a trap!!"

Then he came to his senses and said loudly, "No, we still have a chance. Their reinforcements in the southern city are definitely still fighting to the death with the troops of the Ivis Space System. It will take time to rush over. As long as we can break through the city wall in advance, victory is still there." our side!"

"I saw Lynn on the wall."

The bearded man said calmly.

"Lynn? What Linn?"

The person on the communicator was stunned, and then immediately responded, "Wait, that Mayor Lynn? Isn't he in the Mayor's Mansion? Did Scott attack him... Damn it, Scott is a bastard Did the egg trick us again?

"What does he want to do, cooperate with Linn to repel us and then kill Linn and become the mayor? Can he handle this matter by himself? He doesn't know that he can continue to be the mayor as our dog, and fight with Linn. Will there be nothing if you lose? Stupid pig!"

"This is a matter for the board of directors to consider and has nothing to do with us,"

The bearded man said hoarsely, "There is another possibility. Linn secretly seized power in Beicheng behind Scott's back."

"How can it be?!"

The other end of the communicator was obviously a little emotional, "You think this is a bit outrageous. How long has it been since Scott broke off contact with us? I remember that Linn is nothing but a bare-bones mayor. He has no soldiers and no Cannon, he can't raise an army in such a short time.

"Is it possible that he can go to Beicheng alone and take over the Beicheng that Scott has been running for decades? Although Scott, the bastard, is not well-raised, his ability is not bad after all."

"Um."

The bearded man responded calmly.

He himself didn't quite believe this guess.

"So Scott and Linn formed a partnership and even found reinforcements outside? It's a pity that Linn is also a fool and let you see him. He should have hidden himself,"

The officer's breath on the other side of the phone seemed to have calmed down a bit. He took a deep breath and said, "No, Big Beard, we still have a chance. We now have a huge military advantage. If we can break through before the reinforcements arrive at all costs, City, everything has a chance of winning."

"First, we don't know if there is only one reinforcement,"

The bearded man said hoarsely, "Second, soldiers, weapons, these are money. If this venture fails, who will be held responsible if the board of directors holds them accountable?"

When he said this, the communicator instantly went silent.

"All troops evacuate."

The bearded man lowered his head and said quickly.

The huge war fortress quickly trembled and began to turn around under the cover of night.

And the light that had spread in front also began to turn around quickly.

The bearded man looked up at the silent city wall.

He still vaguely felt that something was wrong. In fact, it was possible that the other party was trying to spread suspicion, and there might not be many people on the other side.

And at this moment, it seemed that they were aware of their intention to retreat, and the originally silent city wall suddenly lit up with light.

The launch ports opened one after another, and the low-hanging rail guns suddenly lifted up, aiming downwards uniformly.

At this moment, they were not close enough to the city wall, and they were on the edge of the high-destructive range of those cannon muzzles, so the operators of those cannon muzzles seemed to be hesitant and did not fire immediately.

Torrential raindrops fell from the sky, seemingly trying to hinder the retreat.

"The vanguard troops move to the rear, guard and cover,"

The bearded man pressed the communicator and shouted quickly, "Abandon unnecessary equipment and evacuate at full speed!"

This kind of mobilization of artillery fire cannot be accomplished by a group of stragglers.

Beicheng Command Center

Meade slowly assembled the disassembled and maintained pistol parts one by one.

boom--

Just as he was assembling it, the broad-faced officer slammed open the door, "Brigadier!"

Meade's hand shook, almost shaking off the parts on his hand. He raised his head and looked at the broad-faced officer in front of the door, "Didn't I tell you to go back to your post?"

"Brigade...Brigade..."

The broad-faced officer gasped for air and looked at Meade with a flushed face, "Brigadier Commander, the Copes Mercenary Group has withdrawn."

boom--

The parts in Meade's hand fell on the table with a crisp sound. He looked at the wide-faced officer blankly, "What? What did you say?"

"Brigade Commander, the Copes Mercenary Group has withdrawn!!!"

The wide-faced officer took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "The Copes mercenary group outside withdrew. I don't know why, but they withdrew. No, it should be said that they ran away, and they ran very fast. They lost one Lots of stuff!

"Mr. Linn doesn't know what kind of magic he used, but it's really effective. It's so awesome. How did he get his brain? Is he the illegitimate son of a god?"

"What a fuss,"

Meade lowered his head, picked up the parts on the table habitually, and stared at the dark metal parts. After a while, his somewhat out-of-focus pupils finally regained some brilliance.

"Fuck, that's awesome."

······

Buzz——

With a slight vibration, the young officer raised the bracelet and looked at the message on the bracelet.

Then his pupils suddenly shrank. After checking several times to confirm that the news really came from Brigadier Meade, he directly raised his steps, the uppers of his shoes slipped on the ground, and staggered to the door of the heavy office. Lying on the door frame, looking at the old man who was reading in the office, he shouted excitedly,

"Mr. Linn! Copes Mining has withdrawn!"

"Um,"

The old man sitting next to the bookshelf picked up the teapot that was on the stove next to him, poured the steaming black tea into the cup, then took off the tea strainer on the teacup, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of the black tea. ,"I see."
