Chapter 2773 Defensive Counterattack
Chapter 2773 Defensive Counterattack
The night is as dark as ink, covering this bustling metropolis.
It has just undergone a change of rulers.
There are ruins everywhere.
However, on the streets, the neon lights flickered faintly, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
The rebels were delighted.
"We have finally captured a city. The next step is to attack other cities!"
"Yes, we are going to recruit soldiers here."
Xiaomei looked at Ghost: "Ghost, what do you think?"
The ghost suddenly thought of this scene and it felt very familiar.
Where is the familiarity?
Its intelligent system quickly gave him the answer.
He knew that the Emperor's library once housed books from another world.
In fact, his original body was created from another world.
He was given a lot of war information.
"This is a bait," he said suddenly.
"What does that mean?" Someone said dissatisfiedly. The metropolis they had fought so hard to capture turned out to be a bait.
"Yes, you were in the dark before, and they couldn't find you."
"So they created this metropolis, but what is its use?"
"Its only use is for enjoyment, but it's the locals who are enjoying it. The real people behind it don't care about this city at all. They care about you."
Xiaomei understood immediately.
She felt something was wrong.
However, others countered:
"Impossible, how could those idiots be so smart?"
"Yeah, they just eat, drink and have fun."
"We will soon be able to use this big city to recruit soldiers and produce supplies. What we need to do now is to quickly resume production."
Hearing this, the ghost shook his head and stopped talking.
According to his observation of humans, once humans have determined a fact, they will try their best to find evidence to prove that it is correct.
And ignore what the truth is.
Few people can look at something soberly and without any prejudice.
Seeing this, Xiaomei also hesitated.
So many people say there is no problem, so there should be no problem, right?
Even when she was at a disadvantage, she was very resilient.
But now that she had the advantage, she didn't know what to choose.
The ghost didn't say much.
He knew that he was a newcomer and had no prestige to make these people listen to him.
Only iron and blood can tell them what is right.
Because what is wrong will be destroyed.
Only the right ones can survive.
……
At this moment.
A group of members of the incense force are gathering in the suburbs of the city.
Their faces were filled with pride.
Because they knew that the rebels had fallen into a trap.
They were the few sober people, or rather the tax farmers who managed the land.
They know what they are doing and their minds are not rigid.
the reason is simple.
If it is too rigid, the efficiency of harvesting incense will decrease.
For example, those who really regard the incense monster as a god are unlikely to follow the scientific methods of raising pigs.
They are loyal enough, but some feudal ministers are also foolishly loyal. Can they change the fate of the dynasty's fall?
Can't change.
Therefore, these managers are sober and know what they are doing.
Just like the rare ones, the rare ones also know that they are rare, and their only thought is to make others become rare as well.
And now the rebels have emerged and have taken over the city in one fell swoop.
This made them feel a lot more relaxed.
They realized that the opportunity to solve the world's hidden dangers had come.
And now they want to take the city back.
They have sent people to surround the entire city and are about to launch a counterattack.
The city has become their bait to capture the enemy.
And now, it has completed its mission.
……
city fringe.
The army of incense-burning forces came like a tide.
They drove various high-tech weapons and equipment and surrounded the city.
Huge chariots rumbled across the ground, their guns pointed at the center of the city, as if ready to fire deadly shells at any moment.
In the air, drones circled in the night sky, their cameras constantly scanning the ground, searching for members of the resistance.
Even underground, there are drilling machines digging forward.
……
In the central control tower.
The rebels were in panic.
"How could this be?"
"Why did they counterattack so quickly!?"
"The ghost is right, this is a bait, a trap!"
"There are enemies everywhere outside, we are surrounded!"
"Damn it, this is all the commander's fault. She brought us to our death!"
Hearing these discussions, Xiaomei swayed and almost fainted.
The ghost came forward to help her.
"It doesn't matter. Worse situations are yet to come." The ghost's comforting words almost made Xiaomei angry to death.
"Now how to do?"
"We must retreat immediately." Ghost said bluntly.
It is a common military practice to preserve manpower and retreat in exchange for time and space.
"No, how long have we endured?" Another person suddenly objected, "We should hold on to this city and use the repaired control tower and their defense system to fight back against them!"
The ghost looked at him, and the other looked back without showing any weakness.
When the others heard this, they began to hesitate.
“I support him!”
"That's right, you are all cowards. The worst that can happen is that you fight them!"
"Yes, death is death, I don't want to hide anymore!"
For a time, the crowd was furious.
These people would rather fight the enemy to death than retreat and escape.
Ghost didn't understand what this mentality was.
Isn’t life the most precious thing?
Did these people die because of the wrong decision?
Soon these people abandoned Xiaomei.
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he couldn't help but nod.
This is war.
If you are weak, hesitant, or afraid, your subordinates will abandon you immediately.
Because everyone knows that following such a leader will not only achieve nothing, but also kill oneself.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will not achieve victory even if they die.
They would give their lives if they could see victory.
Therefore, a commander should never show hesitation and fear in front of his subordinates.
If you don’t have confidence in yourself, how can you expect others to listen to you?
This is also why emperors with real power all ended up destroyed, and only emperors with nominal power survived.
It's the same principle. The emperor relies on family inheritance and cannot always be right when making decisions.
Therefore, there will always be someone who rises up to overthrow the emperor.
This is something that the current ghost does not understand.
Soon everyone elected a new commander, a middle-aged man named Chen Yifei.
He immediately organized the team.
There are currently 700 rebels.
The reason they were able to occupy this city was naturally due to their advanced technological weapons.
Everyone has exoskeleton armor and energy weapons.
It can be said that each of them is a small Gundam.
He arranged everyone's positions. "We have to keep the enemy out of the city!"
He stood on the jutting tower of the control tower.
He overlooked everything.
His eyes sparkled with determination and sacrifice.
He knew it would be a tough battle.
He began to use the communication equipment to issue orders to all members: "Everyone, pay attention, the enemy has begun to counterattack, we must be prepared to fight."
"Fight for light, for our children, and for our own life!"
"Fight!"
Everyone cheered.
The ghost was touched.
He couldn't understand it, but he had to be shocked.
After all, these people should know how powerful the enemy is.
Shocked and touched, he took Xiaomei and left along the sewer.
"I can't run away!"
"No, this is not running away!"
"There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, 'He who is tied to food is a hero,' and it also means 'as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood,' and it also means tactical shift." Ghost emphasized.
Xiaomei looked at him blankly: "I thought you were stupid, but it turns out we are the stupid ones."
"What do you mean?" the ghost asked as he ran.
"I've been using a fake name, and you didn't even notice. Now it seems that's just because you don't care about such trivial matters."
"Yeah, I don't mind."
As the two ran, they heard explosions from above.
"Those are our people fighting back!" Xiaomei said painfully.
Indeed, members of the rebel group sprang into action.
They were scattered throughout the city, using the city's buildings and terrain for defense.
The weapons in their hands are also high-tech equipment, from energy rifles to micro missiles, each of which is enough to cause a fatal blow to the enemy.
With the order from the commander of the incense forces, a battle officially broke out.
On the streets of the city, fighters from both sides engaged in fierce firefights.
In comparison, the rebels' tactical capabilities are still very strong.
As I said, people who rely on incense and worship power enjoy themselves every day.
Although relying on absolute material advantages, they set a trap.
But when it comes to details, they are definitely not as meticulous as the rebels.
This is a natural truth.
Those who have advantages are always careless.
I saw the beams of energy rifles interweaving in the air, emitting dazzling light, as if tearing the night sky apart.
Micro-missiles whizzed through the air, their targets aimed at enemy tanks and drones.
The chariots of the incense forces were directly smashed.
They are all heavy tanks, 200 tons, with 200 mm armor.
But in front of modern weapons, it is just a coffin.
This caused trouble for the commander of the incense forces.
Because this is the most powerful weapon in his hands for attacking cities.
Other weapons, such as howitzers and missiles, are not suitable for attacking the enemy in the city.
"Impossible, how can they have such advanced weapons?"
“Obviously they don’t have any resources!”
He found himself in danger of failure.
"Send me more cannons and bombard them directly!"
"Send out planes to bomb!"
"Don't worry about the city, just blow it into ruins!"
Then all kinds of heavy artillery began to fire at the city.
……
Chen Yifei stood by the window of the control tower, his eyes fixed on the battlefield.
His heart was filled with worry.
He knew that the enemy's strength was far beyond their expectations.
They had to find a way to turn the tide of the battle.
His fingers were tapping quickly on the communication device, issuing one command after another.
On the other side of the city, there is a female fighter from the rebel forces, Li Xiaoyu.
She was engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.
She was wearing an exoskeleton armor and holding an energy lightsaber. The lightsaber emitted a faint blue light, and every swing brought powerful power.
Her opponent is an enemy driving a heavy tank.
The tank armor is extremely strong.
Ordinary weapons cannot cause any damage to it.
Even the bombardment of howitzers could hardly destroy it.
However, it is extremely vulnerable to energy weapons.
Li Xiaoyu nimbly dodged the tank's artillery fire and machine gun fire, her body drawing graceful arcs in the air.
Her energy sword left deep marks directly on the tank's hull.
The next moment, a big hole was punched in the tank!
The crew members climbed out hurriedly.
"Have mercy!" They raised their hands.
She looked at everyone, then turned around and went looking for her next target.
However, at this moment, the tank commander secretly took out his pistol, aimed it at her weak joints, and was about to shoot.
The next moment, gunshots rang out.
The driver fell down.
A small-caliber gun appeared behind the opponent's mecha and shot him dead.
"If you don't resist, you can still live."
"You are all indeed the running dogs of Xiang Huo!"
Li Xiaoyu looked at everyone and a lightsaber flashed by.
She killed everyone else.
"Why are you killing us? We clearly didn't attack you." One of the gunners struggled desperately.
"I spared you and saved your life. He shot and attacked me, but you didn't warn me."
"If I am injured and captured by you, will I have a good ending?"
"You clearly knew this, but you didn't remind me. You are already seeking death!"
She said coldly.
The gunner died, but his death was not a miserable one.
Because he knew the other person was right.
At this time, a burst of artillery fire came.
The plane also discovered Li Xiaoyu below.
The enemy's heavy artillery and aircraft tried to force Li Xiaoyu into a desperate situation.
However, she quickly took cover in the ruins and hid.
In this way, 700 elite rebel mechas actually held out for several hours under the enemy's absolute superior firepower.
This surprised the ghost.
At this time, the city's buildings continued to collapse under the artillery fire, and the streets were filled with ruins and debris.
Some innocent residents were caught up in the battle.
Their homes were destroyed, their lives were threatened, the order of the city was completely broken in the war, and there was chaos and panic everywhere.
Chen Yifei stood in front of the screen in the control tower.
His heart was filled with excitement and joy.
Of course there is also a hint of anger and helplessness.
He knew that the battle had already caused great damage to the city.
But he can't give up.
He must protect the city from rebels.
The new ghost came up and said retreat.
But after some estimation, he knew more.
It is feasible to defend the first wave.
The enemy's technological level is just ordinary planes, cannons and tanks.
But our side already has mechas and energy weapons.
Although the quantity is at a disadvantage, the quality is extremely high.
This way, he can gain greater prestige.
According to the results of the fighting between the various parties, the enemy's attack was contained.
