This Game Is Too Realistic
Chapter 783: Rivers of Blood Flow
The blazing flames climbed up the wooden eaves, illuminating the blank and stunned faces.
The rising black smoke was like a homeless ghost, and the crackling and howling were particularly conspicuous in the silence of the crowd.
This is the southwest corner of Mammoth State, a small village called Stone Village...or so it used to be called.
Most of the people who live here are free citizens of the empire.
But the Empire is the other way around from the rest of the wasteland, and the free folk here are nothing to be proud of.
Since most of the fertile land along the river is in the hands of the nobles, most free folk live in poverty even if they have land to cultivate.
If the average serf had to eat six meals a week of red clay, then the freemen might have to eat seven or eight meals a week, basically maintaining a half-dead state.
Of course, except for those who can survive in the settlement or on the edge of the settlement.
The same is true for Shitou Village. Since it is far away from the Tasang River and there are no small rivers or lakes nearby, the land is not easy to grow, and most of the villagers just fool around with food and clothing.
This kind of guy who lives like weeds really can't squeeze out any oil and water, and the empire generally doesn't bother to pay attention to them. Apart from collecting taxes, they usually let them fend for themselves.
Of course, the tolerance of this gift is limited to normal times.
Walking five or six miles south from Stone Village, you can see the boundary marker of Mazhou, but it was just five or six miles away that caused the fire of solid walls and clear fields to burn here...
At the gate of Shitou Village, an old man over half a century old sat slumped on the ground, looking up at the tall centurion, crying with snot and tears.
My lord, we have lived here for many years, you set this place on fire, me, where do we live...
The centurion looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly.
Next door is Mazhou, and further south is Huzhou. The legs are as long as your body. As long as you don't go north, you can go wherever you like.
The old man begged bitterly.
But, but... how can we live without land.
How do you live? The centurion sneered, looked down at the old thing lying on the ground, and said sarcastically, Just find a manor and sell yourself... don't cry so much, you old man Things are getting old, and it’s time to go to the ground.”
Seeing the old man staring at him blankly, the centurion thought that he was really not very particular about what he said, so he softened his tone slightly.
Okay, there is banditry here, it's for your own good to let you go, don't be so ignorant. I'll give you time to pack your things, get out as soon as you're fine.
Bandit trouble?! But, but, those Moon Clan people didn't care about us...
Seeing that the centurion was about to leave, the stunned old man suddenly became anxious, and he couldn't choose what to say for a while, but he forgot the identity of the military master in front of him, let alone the significance of the Moon Clan to the empire. What.
The centurion stopped when he heard the words, squinted his eyes and looked up and down the old man's eyes, his eyes became slightly unfriendly.
Have they been here?
Not only the centurion squinted at the old man, but the soldiers on the side also put their hands on the Ripper rifle.
Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, the old man was also frightened and stuttered for a while.
I……
The centurion stared at him.
Why didn't you report to the nearby outpost?
What, what outpost?
Beads of sweat oozed from the old man's forehead, and before he could explain, the centurion waved his hand at the soldiers beside him.
Take it back for trial.
Two soldiers strode forward, each grabbed the old man by one shoulder, ignored the latter's screams like killing a pig, and carried him onto the cart like carrying an animal.
The young men in the village wanted to go up to stop them, but they were too scared to move forward by the murderous gaze. They could only watch helplessly as the elders in the village were taken away...
Similar scenes not only happened in Stone Village, but also happened in other places.
Even more than that.
More than 50,000 gray wolves marched into Mammoth State occupied by the rebels like a rainbow, and they were planning to avenge their shame from top to bottom.
While sending out scouts to detect the movement of the resistance army, Alayan steadily laid out the battle line, and at the same time sent a small group of troops along the border to advance his strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the country.
It wasn't just the old man who was suspected of being in contact with the Resistance Army who was taken away.
There were also men, women, children, and animals in barns who had no idea what was going on.
These imperial soldiers didn't even spare the eggs laid by the hen.
Of course, not all villages are so docile and obedient. After all, with the ecological situation of Borneo Province, it takes some skills to hold back the nobles' land annexation.
Some outraged boys brought out dung forks, bows and arrows, blunderbusses and even earthen cannons, trying to confront the gray wolf army of the empire.
However, instead of scaring off the gray wolves of the empire, their righteous indignation brought disaster on themselves and their families.
Although the Gray Wolf Army was almost drowned by the Alliance in the Yongliu River when they were outside the Golden Gallon Port City, it was no problem for them to take care of a group of poor people in poor clothes. It was just a charge, and all the soldiers killed this group of wild weeds, and blood flowed into rivers.
And once the bayonet saw red, things would not end so well.
What's more, today's Gray Wolf Army has been corrupted by the Tiger Army and Black Panther Army. Both the will to fight and the discipline are far worse than half a year ago... Although they were not much better half a year ago. .
After venting their beasts on the weak ones who survived, a group of gray wolves who had had enough fun lifted up their pants, rewarded the captives with a happy, threw their heads on the cart, and took them back to the camp as the heads of the rebels. Invite credit to go.
Just on the hundreds of kilometers border between the Mammoth State and the Maryland State, the burning flames were like a long snake crawling, engulfing one village after another.
That beast-like behavior was like the howling of wolves on Shifeng Mountain.
Not even more...
...these bastards!
At the edge of the dark forest, Ackerman stared at the soldiers leaving from the ruins, with raging anger burning in his eyes.
When the long-haired woman was dragged into the cowshed, he thought of his mother...
The same goes for the soldiers beside him, all of them clutching the rifles in their hands, wishing they could rush up and devour the centurion alive.
Especially the boy named Udi, if he hadn't been pulled by his companions, he might have rushed up.
They have too many people... We only have ten people, not their opponents.
Taking a deep breath and calming down, Ackerman said in a deep voice.
Lacy told us that in order to defeat an opponent who is much stronger than us, we must not only have the ruthlessness that is not afraid of death, but also learn to use our brains.
A tall teenager with freckles looked at him and asked in a low voice.
what should we do?
You took Udi, and you, you...
Ackerman counted out five local recruits and handed them over to the veteran who had killed all the way from Huzhou. He lowered his voice and continued to ask, Go north and tell the villagers what happened here, and say that the people from the empire are here. If you see anyone, kill them, and if you don’t want to die, run north.”
It's no use if they go there, Udi interjected, whispering, It's flooded there...
It's just temporarily flooded. The flood season has passed, and it will be winter soon... When spring arrives, the flooded land will be the most fertile. Lord Laxi will distribute the land of the nobles to them for planting. Said without hesitation.
The land along the Tasang River that originally belonged to the nobles has been annexed and can be used to resettle these displaced villagers once the flood season is over.
Those lands are far more fertile than here, and Lassi said that some will be given to the locals. Now the Mammoth State is already the territory of the Resistance Army, and they have to manage this land well.
Hearing the division of land, the eyes of the two boys lit up, including Udi.
His village is outside Mammoth City, which is the domain of nobles. His father and mother had planted land for the nobles all their lives, and they didn't have a piece of land of their own. Now someone was willing to give them the manor and plantation of the nobles, and they were so excited that they wanted to cheer for a moment.
Only a few veterans from Huzhou smiled at their innocence.
farming?
There's no way out of that thing.
They had suffered enough farming in the valleys of Huzhou, and they had to carry guns to live a good life.
The freckled face frowned slightly, looked at Ackerman and asked.
Why do those villagers believe us?
Go there and pick up some things and bring them to them. Believe it or not, we only save what we can.
Ackerman pointed to the ruins of the village not far away, motioned him to pick up some physical evidence there, and then continued in a low voice.
These villages should be here today. Gray wolves don't dare to walk at night, but it's hard to tell after dawn. You'd better move quickly and finish everything before dawn... Remember, you must All villages within half a day's walking distance will be notified!
The six young men nodded solemnly, sneaked into the bushes beside them and carefully touched the village, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
As for Ackerman, he took the remaining three people and followed the retreating gray wolf army centurion, trying to find their regiment headquarters.
If you are lucky, you may find a chance to shoot them a few times!
At the same time, on the other side, at the headquarters of the Gray Wolf Army, General Aryan looked at the sand table expressionlessly, his thoughts unconsciously drifting away with the chess pieces on the sand table.
I still remember that at the beginning of the year, he was still the god of war admired by thousands of people.
And in just half a year, those who admired him regarded him as a disgrace to the empire, and stepped hard into the sewer.
How high those people praised him at the time was how hard they threw him down later. But it was precisely because of that incident that he completely woke up——
These troublemakers are not worthy of his sympathy.
He shouldn't treat them as adults, although he didn't care about them much before.
To this day, he still won't forget the grievance he suffered in Port Gingeron. The group of poor people who crawled around killed his scouts for a few silver coins, sold his information, and deliberately used the trench as a grave in the Digging, digging, his soldiers raised their hands above their heads and couldn't reach the trench.
There are also reeds on the edge of the Yongliu River.
Those guys would rather be shot and be drowned than be the dogs of the alliance, but they don't want to stay in the empire and be a good person.
He knows better than anyone else that if he gives such a firm and clear order, the people under him will definitely use their own way to mess around.
But so what?
Instead of keeping these pigs behind on the front line and deliberately doing bad things to help, it is better to use their blood to deter those who dare to oppose the empire.
At this time, the officer in charge of clearing the walls and clearing the fields walked into the tent, looked at General Arayan who was standing in front of the map and saluted respectfully, and reported.
My lord, the Moon Clan's Resistance Army has probably been here before.
They will definitely come, there's nothing strange about it. You can check later, whoever has relatives in the Resistance Army, no matter distant relatives or close relatives, take them out and form a separate team. I will keep them for use.
Staring at the Mammoth City on the map, Arayan continued to speak expressionlessly.
That Lacy is an officer trained by the alliance, and the people who left Golden Gallon Port with him were also trained by the alliance. What these people are best at is interspersing, infiltrating, breaking up parts, and using less to fight more... in Luoxia line In the provinces and river valley provinces, those people used these tricks to make the Willanters suffer a lot.
The officer's expression froze, and he said in a low voice.
If this is the case, I am afraid this battle will not be easy.
I'm afraid? Alayan laughed, and continued, Don't expect a quick battle. It will take at least three or four months to completely wipe them out. If they want to fight guerrillas, let them go. , we set up our formation—”
Before his words fell, there was an explosion sound from a distance.
The two people in the tent were stunned, and Alayyan's expression changed first, and he rushed out of the tent and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The officer followed him out of the tent, and then heard the second explosion sounded from far away.
His face changed slightly, and the officer trembled.
155mm!
Union's 155!
The impression that thing left on him was too deep-rooted, and he would never forget the buzzing feeling in his brain for the rest of his life.
You don't need to talk nonsense... Alayan cursed, took off the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder, and roared.
The first few shells were just school shots!
There must be guerrilla scouts and communication stations reporting the impact points near the shelled troops!
The facts are indeed as Aryan thought.
Soon the boiling cannons exploded on the position of the 7,000th team belonging to the 10,000th team, and dealt a blow to the gray wolf army, which had high morale.
Due to the inadequate excavation of the artillery fortifications, the entire thousand-man team suffered heavy casualties. Only 60% escaped from the position and were rescued by the sixth thousand-man team who rushed to reinforce.
The first confrontation between the Gray Wolf Army and the Moon Clan Resistance Army ended with a small victory for the latter, but the victory or defeat of just one battle was not enough to reverse the latter's disadvantage.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is still huge.
Alayan has an army of 50,000 at his disposal, and it is also an elite division equipped with Willante equipment, and its chief instructor is the famous general of the Eastern Legion, Mike Lun.
As for Laxi, although the local army of the Mammoth State was wiped out with a clever trick of flooding the army, so that the resistance army could face the attack of the gray wolf army in an intact state, but even so, the troops he could use The total is only a little over 20,000, and more than half of them are recruits.
Although the residents of Gold Gallon Port and even Potato Chips Port have donated tens of millions of silver coins to the Moon Clan Resistance Army, if the latter cannot win on the battlefield, all ideals will be empty talk in the end...
...
Jin Gallon Port, the waiting hall of the passenger terminal, Qian Duo from Dawn City was flipping through the Daily Survivor in his hand with great interest.
The Survivor Daily here is completely different from the version in Dawn City. It mainly reports some news that the locals are interested in. As for the battle situation in Haiya Province and the things in River Valley Province, there are only a few mentions.
As for today.
Almost all newspapers in Port Gum Gallon focused on the Mammoth State front.
[...The witnesses and material evidence are all there! Shameless executioner Arayan! 】
[Roger, the secretary-general of the Port of Gold Galleon Federation, strongly condemned the barbaric actions of the Imperial Gray Wolf Army. One hundred thousand survivors raised placards to protest against the deportation of prisoners of war by the authorities! 】
[Governor Secretary-General Jodu, who has always refused to express opinions on empire-related affairs, rarely spoke out and denounced the crimes of the empire, It's not just Stone Village that has tragedies, we don't know how many are in places we can't see!\
