Sword Emperor reborn in the last days
Chapter 60 Heavy Casualties
"To the east is the Liuhe River, which twists and turns to the north. There is a section in the middle that flows to the northwest, which means that the north and the east cannot pass. Except for the bridge to the east, all other bridges have been blown up. Due west is the direction we are coming from.
, but there is a lake in the northwest, which will hinder the circulation of people and make it impossible to evacuate there. To the south is the Loujiang River, but there is only a bridge that is more than ten meters wide across the river. It may be difficult for people to cross the river." Liu Jing described the surrounding terrain.
, along with her analysis.
At this time, several more artillery shells fell, hitting the crowd in the north. The people fleeing north were bombarded more and more as they went north. They seemed to understand a little and gradually stopped.
"Since we can't pass from the north to the east, and we can't return from the west, we can only go south. The other party seems to be intending to drive us south."
Ling Chen told Mayor Zhou his suggestion, and the latter was very busy. After listening to his words, he quickly ordered his men to move the people.
With the experience of being shelled in the front, it was very easy to command again. The crowd began to turn around and run south. Those who ran at the front were very lucky to cross the bridge in a while, but the crowd from behind immediately surged up.
The 20-meter-wide bridge was suddenly blocked, and many people were even pushed directly off the guardrail and fell into the river.
Some people drowned on the spot, but there were also people who knew how to swim.
Although the river was very deep, it was less than a hundred meters wide. Those who fell into the river and had good water quality, their eyes lit up and they simply swam directly to the opposite side. Behind them were countless other drowning people who were flopping and shouting for help.
turn a deaf ear.
Someone successfully swam across the river!
The inspired crowd jumped into the river one after another. For a while, the miles-long shore was full of people vying to dive. Some people were not very good at swimming and had never even been in the water, but everyone else jumped.
If they went down, they jumped in; some people didn't want to dive, but they were simply squeezed in by the crowd coming up from behind...
Boom boom boom!
The shells landed in the northern part of the crowd, once again causing the crowd to crazily push towards the south. Those who were unfortunately left behind pushed the crowd in front hard, causing some people to fall down, while they stepped on the bodies of the fallen people and continued to move forward.
Rush ahead...
How could the cannonball hit the edge of the crowd accurately every time?
Ling Chen looked to the east thoughtfully, but the distance was too far and he didn't see anything. He immediately connected the communicator and told the soldiers in front to look for the high observation point on the opposite side and try to snipe it.
…
Countless people struggled and undulated in the river, and the drowned corpses floated densely downstream as the river rose and fell. Some of the slow swimmers followed the river to the east front line and were killed by the enemies on the shore.
They were shot to death one after another, and blood rose up from the water little by little, dyeing the surrounding area red...
"Help me, help me!" A man was scratching his limbs in the river, grabbing the man next to him and refusing to let go.
"Let go!" The man punched the other person on the head. After a few punches, the other person finally fainted and let go of his hand.
But it was not over. Another person next to him grabbed his arm again. This time, no matter how much he punched, the other person did not let go. His strength became weaker and weaker, and finally he pinched the other person's neck and sank together with that person.
Into the bottom of the water.
Tragedies like this are happening constantly. The number of people drowned and shot to death is countless.
People on the shore rushed to jump into the river amidst the sound of cannons, and the tragedy was repeated repeatedly. The scenes were so tragic that people could not bear to look at them.
"Commander! Commander!"
Countless awakened people screamed in grief and anger, gritting their teeth tightly.
Never mind!
Ling Chen picked up the communicator and issued orders to the remaining dozen artillery carriages behind.
"Fire, hit me hard!"
The order was given easily and out of anger, but he knew that due to the lack of power in the marching artillery team, all kinds of advanced equipment could hardly be used. Even the aiming of the artillery was judged by the experience of veterans. In this situation
Next, it is impossible to win an artillery battle with the opponent, but... I can't care about that much. The countless corpses and bloody swimmers in the river are beaten to death, which constantly stimulates everyone's nerves.
, as a leader, you must express yourself.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of artillery fire from the rear sounded, falling deep inside the enemy, and soon several explosions were heard.
The crowd seemed to have received a reassurance, and many people cheered. Although the crowd was still crossing the river in panic, it seemed to have eased a lot compared to before.
…
At night, everyone finally crossed the river, the sound of guns and cannons also stopped, and a relatively peaceful period entered.
However, during the day, the target of our own artillery team was exposed due to firing back. Only two artillery carriages were destroyed. The soldiers in the front did not break through the bridge. They were given a hard lesson and learned what it means to be strong but not to suppress local snakes.
.
"What! The death toll is nearly one million, how is this possible!"
Everyone was a little unbelievable when they heard the latest news report.
"Not only that, among the people who waded across the river during the day, many people developed high fevers, and many people with fractures were waiting for treatment." The reporting officer said expressionlessly, holding a thick stack of paper in his hand and standing.
Wait there for the latest instructions.
This is a person with special abilities, named Ji Yi, who has the ability to have a photographic memory and quickly collect information. He was sent by Ling Chen to Mayor Zhou to help him deal with things, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for borrowing Xu Mingming.
.
Mayor Zhou sat down feebly and said feebly: "Then do it. I'll leave this matter to you first. We have to have a meeting. Make sure everyone has a good place to stay and don't freeze at night.
All injuries and illnesses that can be cured will be cured as much as possible, and everyone will be given some ginger soup to go away the cold."
"The broken bones must be reconnected and fixed with wood!" Mr. Li added.
After the reporter left, only Ling Zhou and Li were left in the conference room again.
"What should we do? It's better to follow Lao Li's previous suggestion and go southeast. After leaving this city, we can just get on the highway to avoid further casualties. The people on the other side obviously don't want us to get close."
Mayor Zhou came up with Commander Li's forward proposal. Such a heavy casualty responsibility would have been enough for him to be shot dozens of times in the past, which was enough to make him lose his mind.
"That's not possible. I just walked away in such a dejected manner. When I got to the upper city, I met those old guys, and I put my face there! And they didn't let us get close. They obviously wanted to be a local emperor. Maybe the town's
How many people are being enslaved by them? Didn't you say before that you can't give up any city with humans? Why are you saying such depressing words now? I have moved back to the first city." Master Li obviously still remembers being lectured before.
things.
"But... with so many citizens, if a fight breaks out, how many people may die." Mayor Zhou's expression was very hesitant.
"Fighting is a matter for the army. It's useless to bring them along. Let the masses go first, or stay away and spread out. The city is divided into two parts by Loujiang River, and the open space to the south does not count.
Missing." Mr. Li said, pointing to the map on the table. This was found at a newsstand in the city, which gave them a clearer understanding of their current location.
The location of the unknown force is in the area of the original Shankun Municipal Government. It is surrounded by water and has a small river running through the middle. It is a good defensive terrain. There is also the area further to the north. It should not be abandoned, otherwise there will be no room for living there.
So many people.
"Okay, then I have the same opinion. What do you think, Commander Ling?"
Hearing Mayor Zhou's question, Ling Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let me go and take a look. If we can find their leader at night and complete the beheading operation, it will be much easier to attack again."
Upon hearing this, Master Li stood up excitedly and grabbed Ling Chen's hands: "If it really succeeds, then a big problem will be solved. By the way, Commander Ling's card yesterday that can summon rain of fire can be used again.
Is that so? It would be better if we could take advantage of the time when all the enemies are concentrated and deal with them all at once."
Ling Chen nodded slightly: "Yes, but the other party is hiding in the building. The flames will go out in five minutes, and the effect will not be ideal."
After hearing Ling Chen's answer, Mr. Li was slightly disappointed. At this time, Mayor Zhou said again: "If the assassination operation fails, it would be good if we can figure out the distribution of their forces. We can also make a plan targeting the surname."
