Alien King

Chapter 453 Siege is easy and defense is difficult

That night, Cherno, the head of the First Eka Corps, led the [-] troops of the First Corps to Qiuyuan Ridge, twenty miles north of Tanghai Town.

After receiving the urgent distress order from the Eka royal family, Cherno led an army of 1000 troops to the south at a rapid pace, and ran for more than [-] miles without any rest along the way.

At this moment, the roofs of the farmer's houses in Tanghai Town can almost be seen.Chernow was finally relieved, finally able to rest.

When they arrived at Tanghai Town, it was less than two hundred miles away from Mojing City. No matter how fast the Tianyang Legion was, they couldn't keep up with them.

Thinking of this, Cherno said to the soldiers beside him: "Order the troops to speed up. After entering Tanghai Town, rest in place, turn on the stove and water, eat and drink enough, and continue on the road tomorrow morning."

The soldiers were already exhausted from running, so they were naturally overjoyed when they heard Cherno's words. They pulled the horse rope, turned the horse's head, and went to convey the order.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the fast-moving First Eka Corps first entered the ambush circle of the first target of the Shenji Battalion, and then sneaked into Tanghai Town without noticing.

Due to the large number of people, with an army of [-], it is impossible to all eat, drink, and scatter within Tanghai Town.Under Cherno's order, the First Russian Army Corps was divided into two, and the five phalanx regiments passed through Tanghai Town and stationed in an open space south of Tanghai Town.The other five phalanx legions were stationed north of Tanghai Town.

Gao Cheng, the first commander of the Shenji Battalion, and Li Hu, the second commander, who had been ambushing in the nearby dense forest, felt that they were going to be happy at this moment.

God help me too.

In all fairness, if the [-] troops of the Eka First Army retreated into Tanghai Town at the first moment of the battle, since Lin Qiyu issued an order that ordinary people must not be harmed, the Shenji Battalion would have to shrink back and forth. It is difficult to use it, and if it is a little careless and hurts ordinary people, it will be punished by military law.

But now 5 people are stationed in the south of Tanghai Town, and another 5 people are stationed in the north of Tanghai Town. As long as they are caught by surprise, they are caught off guard, and their escape route into Tanghai Town is cut off in the chaos. There is a conclusion.

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng, who was hiding in the dense forest and closely observing the movements of the Eka people, gently rolled up his sleeves, took out a messenger flying clam in his sleeve, said a few words lightly, and sent the Shinbi let it out.

About a mile away, Li Hu, who received the message from Gaocheng, smiled slightly, and then softly issued a battle order to the several small captains beside him.

On the night of the full moon, the entire Tanghai Town was illuminated like daytime.The soldiers of the First Russian Army Corps stationed in the south of Tanghai Town were sitting around the bonfire, drinking and barbecuing, and having fun.

Some people even invited some dancing girls from Tanghai town to come to wish them happy.

Regarding the bad habits of these soldiers, captains, battalion generals, and commanders generally turned a blind eye to them.On the ice field battlefield in the extreme north, the casualties of these soldiers were extremely high, and no one knew whether they would still be able to see the rising sun tomorrow. It was not in a wartime state, so it was not too much to have fun like this.

An hour later, after consuming all the spirits stored in the entire Tanghai Town, the soldiers of the First Russian Army Corps were lying on both sides of the flat official road from south to north in Tanghai Town. caught.

At this moment, in the dense forest, the tall figure of the unicorn appeared faintly.

Those who slept a little later in Tanghai Town would probably see that the sky in the south and north of Tanghai Town suddenly lit up, like thousands of lightning bolts descending at the same time.

The battle of the first and second bidders of the Shenji Battalion to attack the First Eka Corps at night was recorded in the annals of history for many years after that.This is the shortest battle in the history of Tiangong Continental War.The soldiers of the first mark and the second mark fired almost at the same time, and each electric torrent was accurately shot at a soldier of the First Russian Army Corps.Every shot since then has also maintained a precise interval and duration, showing the astonishing training and combat capabilities of the Shenji Battalion.

2000 people against 10 people.The common people in Tanghai Town only knew that there was lightning that lasted for half an hour that night, but it was clear that the night was bright and star-clear, but there were so many and dense lightning flashes for no reason.

No more, no less, after fifty intense flashes in the sky, everything returned to calm.

In Yekaterinburg, Lin Qiyu's soldiers found an uninhabited palace at the northernmost tip of the castle.On the majestic gate outside the palace, there are a few big characters: Xiangsheli Palace.

The soldiers inspected the palace and felt that this place was really suitable for Lin Qiyu, so they moved all of Lin Qiyu's temporary residences here.

When she first saw this palace, Lin Qiyu was also a little surprised.Although the palace does not occupy a large area, it is much smaller than the mansion of the Minister of Military Affairs in Shangjing, but whether it is furniture or interior, its luxury is far more than that of the Minister of Military Affairs.

Fu Yutang, who was by Lin Qiyu's side, said at this time: "Instructor Lin, this Xiangsari Palace used to be the summer residence of Empress Ekaterina, Ekaterina, a hundred years ago. Although it has been a long time ago, due to the It is the empress' palace, it has not been dismantled, but it is cleaned every day, and the utensils are replaced as soon as they are used. The whole palace is completely brand new."

Lin Qiyu nodded in satisfaction, looking around the palace from time to time.

Most of the girls love to be clean, and Lin Qiyu is the only woman in the entire Shenji camp. In daily life, men can't always take care of them. This is a trouble after all.

This kind of palace is not only clean and tidy, but also better protects Lin Qiyu's privacy, giving her an almost perfect private space, how can she be dissatisfied.

Nodding her head, Lin Qiyu smiled and said, "That's great, let's settle here."

After speaking, Lin Qiyu paused for a while, then continued: "How is the situation in the city?"

Fu Yutang looked worried, with a bitter face, and said, "Instructor Lin, I am absolutely unambiguous when you ask me to go to war. But let me lead the political affairs and solve the troubles and problems of the common people. I, I am really It's unbearable."

Looking at Fu Yutang's appearance, Lin Qiyu couldn't help laughing, thinking that this middle-aged general with a firm will and a simple mind must have served as the acting governor of Yekaterinburg temporarily, and then became the parent officer of the local people. Things, but I can't figure it out.

Lin Qiyu smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Are you in trouble?"

Fu Yutang still said with a bitter face: "Last night, an old lady on Rameau Avenue came to me and said that her child was broken with a stone, but the assailant could not be found. Give justice to the presiding officer.”

Lin Qiyu stared and said, "Just let her go directly to the criminal justice department."

Fu Yutang said: "Of course I said so, but she also said that the Criminal and Political Department has been on vacation and no one is in charge."

Lin Qiyu stared again, and said, "Everyone is on vacation? Who is the director of Yebao's criminal and political department? He dared to leave the entire criminal and political department unattended when he was not on vacation, and he was emboldened by a leopard."

Fu Yutang continued: "I then rushed to the Department of Criminal Affairs and found the director, but he said that last night, in order to cooperate with our Shenji camp inspection, all the people in the Department of Criminal Affairs did not eat for a whole night. This morning, no Without delaying the political affairs, the director asked all the staff to eat breakfast nearby, only to find that the price of food in the city had skyrocketed, and it had tripled. After a full vacation, each went home to fill his stomach first."

Lin Qiyu frowned when she heard this.Although Fu Yutang only said one thing, this matter contained several key issues.

First, there is no doubt that the Department of Criminal Affairs is lazy and lazy in administration.Second, the Department of Criminal Affairs pushed the reason and source of the lazy administration to the Shenji Camp for inspection on the one hand, and on the other hand revealed that food prices had soared, and the people in the Criminal Affairs Bureau could not even afford to eat.The third and most critical point is that the food price in Yekaterinburg tripled overnight.

These three things are easy to deal with for the Criminal and Political Department, but the matter of food prices is a bit tricky.

Frowning, Lin Qiyu said: "Go to the director again and ask him to gather all the personnel from the Criminal and Political Department before the time. If not, I will punish him with military law. You tell him that the current Yekaterinburg is During the period of military control, all the departments and agencies under the former Governor's Mansion will cooperate with you, the acting Governor, in the management, and those who disobey and lazy will be sent to prison."

Fu Yutang nodded and responded.

Lin Qiyu continued: "I'm going to investigate the food price. If it really triples, the common people will be in chaos sooner or later."

Speaking of this, Lin Qiyu narrowed her eyes, and continued: "Or maybe, it's the trick of that old man Van Delkin who let us occupy Yekaterinburg without bloodshed, and drove us away without bloodshed. The common people are innocent , but if the people in the city collectively resist us in a non-violent way, then we will definitely not be able to stay."

Hearing Lin Qiyu's words, Fu Yutang finally felt the seriousness of the matter. Looking at Lin Qiyu, Fu Yutang said, "Then I'll go to the Criminal Affairs Department first."

After Fu Yutang left, Lin Qiyu took a few soldiers and left the Xiangsheli Palace together, and came to the largest main road from north to south in Yekaterinburg.

The name of the main road is Queen's Road. It is not only the widest road in Ye Castle, but also the most prosperous commercial center in Ye Castle.There are many high-end shops on both sides of the road, and there are countless commodities on display.

Lin Qiyu led the soldiers along the Queen's Road.Soon, Lin Qiyu discovered that among the people coming and going on the road, there was a trace of strangeness in the eyes cast on Lin Qiyu and the others for no reason.

Eka people are tall and tall, especially women, if placed in Tiangong Empire, they can be considered tall and slender.But everyone is blond and blue-eyed, completely different from the Central Plains people of Tiangong Empire.

Feeling those strange gazes, Lin Qiyu didn't take it seriously.

It is not surprising that these Eka people have had a huge psychological advantage over the Tiangong Empire for many years. Now, the largest city in the Far East of the Eka Empire has been invaded and occupied by Tiangong. The psychological gap is so great It is so big that even ordinary people find it difficult to accept it for a while.

As long as these subjects didn't intentionally attack her, the commander-in-chief of the Shenji Battalion, but just cast strange glances, Lin Qiyu didn't mind it with her stomach.
