Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 35: artillery

The alleys in Ankerton City are extremely complicated. Under the guidance of the locals, Lawrence and his subordinates walked dizzily. It took a long time for them to finally walk out of the alleys one after another and onto the broad street.

At this time, the city of Ankerton had not yet emerged from the turmoil of the revolution. Citizens with weapons could be seen on the street at any time. They all looked surprised when they saw the soldiers walking out of the alley, but they did not take the initiative to come forward. Inquire about the situation before.

There are too many armed teams in the city of Ankerton. Now even the leaders of the Santos Party have no way to count the number of armed personnel in the city. It is very normal for an army to suddenly emerge from a lump in the city. Citizens were also taken aback by this.

Lawrence and his men were always worried about whether they would be questioned by the enemy after they walked out of the street, but they did not expect that the citizens not only did not show their vigilance to them, but some even cheered them, encouraging them to participate in the war and put the king. All the lackeys were killed.

When they heard the applause from the citizens, Lawrence and the others had black lines on their heads. On the bright side, they shouted Long Live Freedom along with the citizens. If those citizens knew that the team in front of them was the lackey of the king they wanted to overthrow, they would be shocked.

Guided by the locals, they finally arrived at the crossroads before dusk. When they were just approaching, they were stopped by the soldiers sent by Sandy to guard around them. The leading officer looked suspiciously at Lawrence and Lawrence. The riotous militia behind him said:

"There is a battle ahead, which army are you from?"

"We are the volunteers from the south of the city. I heard that the king's lackeys appeared in the northern district, so we came here to join you." Lawrence took out the prepared remarks pretentiously.

Hearing what he said, the officer took another look at the equipment of the soldiers behind him. Seeing that their weapons were messed up like most armed citizens, coupled with their lazy attitude, their doubts were instantly dispelled. After the revolution broke out, he saw many armed citizens with the same purpose as Lawrence.

Thinking of this, the officer from the workers' commando had a more cordial attitude towards them. He stepped forward, put his arms on Lawrence's shoulder, and asked, "Brother, what's your name? How many of you are there?"

"You can call me Lawrence directly." Lawrence didn't mind the other person's hand on his shoulder, he said in a sullen tone: "Our brothers in a few blocks south of the city have gathered, more than 800 people, why? Like, there are quite a few of these people, aren't they?"

When he heard that there were more than 800 people on the other side, the attitude of the officer was even better. He said: "You came just in time, we just happened to be at war with the enemy, and we need more troops, so let's go and meet our commander. Lord Sandy, he will assign tasks to you and your people."

Lawrence nodded in response, motioned his subordinates to wait outside, and then followed the officer into the crossroads.

At this time, the intersection was in full swing. Seeing that Charlie's army had suspended the attack, the rebels were not idle. Instead, they used the tools at hand to build simple barricades under Sandy's order to ensure the stability of the defense line. Lawrence looked around, those rebels The army is moving furniture out of the house and placing it in the open space at the intersection.

He looked around again, and the buildings around the intersection were filled with soldiers with rifles. They were leaning behind the windows in twos and threes and chatting. Once the battle started, they could quickly jump into the battle, relying on the defense of the buildings to shoot at the enemy, The enemies within their attack range have nowhere to hide, and can only stand in the open and be beaten passively.

Soon, Lawrence was taken to one of the small buildings and met Sandy, the commander of the rebel army, in a room that was apparently set up as a temporary headquarters.

He didn't know the other party's full name, so he could only follow the officer to greet the other party respectfully.

The officer told Sandy about Lawrence's intention and the troops he brought. After the latter heard it, his eyes softened a lot when he looked at Lawrence. He said in a gentle tone:

"Lawrence, are you from the South District? Then you must have eaten bread from Jennings' house. Before the revolution broke out, I often went to his house to buy bread. It was delicious."

"If you mean Jennings with a daughter with a pimple on her face, his bread is delicious, but it's good for someone like me to eat once a month." Lawrence said replied naturally.

"Haha, yes, after all, that guy has always advertised that his bread is made of the finest white flour, and the price is indeed not something that ordinary people like us can often eat." Sandy said with a smile, through the inquiry just now, He was certain that the other party was indeed from the South Side, because only the South Side knew that the bread made by Jennings' bakery was delicious and expensive.

However, he did not fully trust Lawrence. He asked a few more questions, all of which were answered one by one. The last doubt in his heart was finally put down. He then talked a few words with a few party members beside him and reached a consensus. Let Lawrence and the armed citizens who came with him join the line against the King's army.

Lawrence is a student at the Military Academy in the South District. He often hangs out on the streets with a few companions at ordinary times. It is not surprising that he knows some street rumors in the South District.

After walking out of the small building, Lawrence followed the officer back to where he came from, and entered the crossroad with his subordinates. Long before they came here, Lawrence specially told the soldiers not to talk too much, and not to be too deliberate, making them behave like a very ordinary civilian, and the performance of the soldiers did not disappoint him, especially those who were converted. The militia that is not long for the soldiers of the system, they starred in their true colors.

After infiltrating the intersection, Lawrence and his subordinates went to help the rebels reinforce the barricades. While strengthening, he was also paying attention to remembering the deployment of the enemy at the intersection, and at the same time talking to the rebel soldiers who were working around him.

Not long after they got in, a group of fully-armed soldiers suddenly appeared at the intersection when they came. The people who were still working looked up subconsciously, and this sight made them agitated. In the middle, there is an artillery pulled by a packhorse!

Lawrence just glanced at it and judged the caliber of the gun: the twelve-pounder infantry gun that was extremely common in the Royal Rumont Army. If you guessed correctly, that gun should be one of the guns attached to the original Second Brigade captured by the rebels.

Now things are getting bigger!
