Chapter 2773 Defensive Counterattack
The night is like ink, shrouding this bustling metropolis.
It has just gone through a change of rulers.
There are ruins everywhere.
However, on the streets, neon lights flickered faintly, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
The rebels were delighted.
"We finally captured a city, and the next step is to attack other cities!"
"Yes, we are recruiting troops here."
Xiaomei looked at Ghost: "Ghost, what do you think?"
The ghost suddenly thought of this scene, which was very familiar.
Where is the familiarity?
Its intelligent system quickly gave him the answer.
He knew that the emperor's library once contained books from another world.
In fact, his body was created in another world.
A lot of war information was input to him.
"It's a bait," he said suddenly.
"What do you mean?" someone asked dissatisfiedly. The metropolis they worked so hard to conquer turned out to be a bait.
"Yes, you were in the dark before and they couldn't find you."
"So we created such a metropolis, but what is its use?"
"Its only purpose is to enjoy it, but it is the locals who enjoy it. The real behind-the-scenes people don't care about this city at all, they care about you."
Xiaomei understood immediately.
She felt something was wrong.
However, others retorted:
"Impossible, how can those idiots be so smart?"
"Yes, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun."
"We will soon be able to use this big city to recruit troops and produce supplies. What we have to do now is to quickly resume production."
Hearing this, the ghost shook his head and stopped talking.
According to his observations of human beings, as long as humans determine a certain fact, they will try their best to find evidence to prove that it is right.
And ignore the true nature of the facts.
Very few people can look at something clearly and without any prejudice.
Xiaomei hesitated when she saw this.
So many people say there is no problem, so it should be no problem, right?
She is obviously very resilient when she is weak.
But now that she came to the advantage, she didn't know what to choose.
The ghost didn't say much.
He knew that he had just arrived and had no prestige to make these people listen to him.
Only iron and blood can tell them what is right.
Because those who are wrong will be eliminated.
Only the right ones will survive.
……
At this moment.
A group of members of the incense force are gathering in the suburbs of the city.
Their faces were full of pride.
Because they know that the rebels have fallen into a trap.
They were the sober few, or tax collectors, 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 cannot abide by the scientific method of raising pigs.
Loyalty is enough, but some feudal ministers are also foolish and loyal. Can they change the fate of the dynasty's downfall?
Can't change.
Therefore, these managers are sober and know what they are doing.
Just like rares, rares also know that they are rare, and their only idea is to make others become rare together.
And now the rebels have emerged and taken over the city in one fell swoop.
This made them feel a lot more relaxed.
They realized that there was an opportunity to solve the world's hidden dangers.
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 a bait for them to capture their enemies.
And now, it has completed its mission.
……
city fringe.
The army of incense forces came like a tide.
They drove a variety of high-tech weapons and equipment and surrounded the city.
Huge tanks rumbled on the ground, their muzzles pointed at the center of the city, as if they were about to fire deadly shells at any time.
In the air, drones hovered in the night sky, their cameras constantly scanning the ground, looking for members of the resistance.
Even underground, there are earth drills digging forward.
……
In the central control tower.
The rebels were in panic.
"How could this happen?"
"Why did they fight back so quickly!"
"The ghost is right, this is a bait, a trap!"
"There are enemies outside, we are surrounded!"
"Damn, this is all the commander's fault, she brought us to death!"
Hearing these comments, Xiaomei swayed and almost fainted.
The ghost stepped forward to help her.
"It doesn't matter, the worse situation is yet to come." Ghost's comforting words almost made Xiao Mei angry to death.
"What now?"
"We must retreat immediately." The ghost said directly.
It is a common military practice to preserve the vitality and exchange time and space with retreat.
"No, how long have we endured?" Another person suddenly objected, "We should stick 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 person looked back without any sign of weakness.
When others heard this, they began to hesitate.
"I support him!"
"That's right, you are all cowards, the worst is to 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 to the death with the enemy than retreat and escape.
The ghost didn't understand this mentality.
Isn't life the most precious?
Are these people going to die for their wrong decisions?
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 gimmick will only accomplish nothing and even get you killed.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that even if they die, they will not be able to win.
They are willing to sacrifice their lives if they can see victory.
Therefore, a commander should never show hesitation and fear in front of his subordinates.
You don’t have confidence in yourself anymore, so you still expect others to listen to you?
This is why all the emperors with real power were finished in the end, and only the emperors with virtual power survived.
This is the same reason. The emperor relies on family inheritance and cannot always be right when making decisions.
So someone will always rise up and overthrow the emperor.
This is something that the current ghost does not understand.
Soon everyone selected a new commander, a middle-aged man named Chen Yifei.
He immediately organized his team.
There are currently 700 rebels.
They were able to occupy this city naturally because of their advanced technological weapons.
Everyone has exoskeleton armor, and energy weapons.
It can be said that all of them are small Gundams.
He arranged everyone's positions. "We want to keep the enemy out of the city!"
He stood on a tall building protruding from 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 communication equipment and issued an order to all members: "Attention everyone, the enemy has begun to counterattack, and we must be ready to fight."
"Fight for the light, for our children, and for the lives we are free to live in!"
"Fight hard!"
Everyone shouted.
The ghost was touched.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He couldn't understand it, but he couldn't help but be shocked.
After all, these people should know how powerful the enemy is.
Shocked and touched, he took Xiaomei all the way down the sewer and left.
"I can't run away!"
"No, this is not an escape!"
"There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that those who rely on food are heroes. It is also called keeping the green hills and not afraid of running out of firewood. It is also called tactical change." Ghost emphasized.
Xiaomei looked at him blankly: "I thought you were stupid, but it turned out that we were the stupid ones."
"What do you say?" Ghost asked as he ran.
"I've been using a fake name and you haven't noticed. Now it seems that it's just because you don't care about such trivial things."
"Yeah, I don't care."
As the two ran, they heard an explosion from above.
"That's our people fighting back!" Xiaomei said painfully.
Indeed, members of the resistance sprang into action.
They are scattered in every corner of 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 commander of the incense force giving an order, a battle officially broke out.
On the streets of the city, soldiers from both sides engaged in fierce exchanges of fire.
In contrast, the rebels' tactical abilities are still very strong.
Again, people in the incense force enjoy it every day.
Although relying on absolute material advantages, a trap was set.
But when it comes to details, they are definitely not as meticulous as the rebels.
This is natural.
Those with advantages are always careless in various ways.
The beams of energy rifles were seen intertwining in the air, emitting dazzling light, as if tearing the night sky apart.
Micromissiles whizzed through the air, targeting enemy tanks and drones.
The chariots of the incense forces were directly smashed.
All of them are heavy tanks, 200 tons, with 200 mm of armor.
But in the face of modern weapons, it is just a coffin.
This troubled the commander of the incense forces.
Because this is already the most powerful weapon in his hand to attack the city.
Others, such as howitzers and missiles, are not suitable for attacking opponents in cities.
"Impossible, how can they have such advanced weapons?"
"Obviously they don't have any resources!"
He saw that he might fail.
"Send me more cannons and bombard them directly!"
"Send planes to bomb!"
"Ignore the city, just blow it up into rubble!"
Then various heavy fires began to be fired on 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 must find a way to turn the tide of the war.
And his fingers were tapping rapidly on the communication device, issuing one command after another.
On the other side of the city, Li Xiaoyu, a female fighter of the rebel forces.
She is engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.
She wears an exoskeleton mecha and holds an energy lightsaber. The lightsaber exudes a faint blue light, and each swing brings powerful power.
Her opponent is an enemy driving a heavy tank.
The armor of the tank mecha is extremely hard.
Ordinary weapons cannot harm it at all.
Even a howitzer bombardment could hardly destroy it.
However, it is vulnerable to energy weapons.
Li Xiaoyu nimbly dodged tank shelling and machine guns, her body drawing beautiful arcs in the air.
Her energy sword left deep marks directly on the shell of the tank.
The next moment, a big hole was punched in the tank!
The crew members scrambled out.
"Spare your life!" They raised their hands.
She looked at everyone, then turned around to find the next target.
However, at this time, the tank commander secretly took out his pistol, pointed it at her weak joints, and was about to shoot.
The next moment, gunfire rang out.
The commander fell.
A small-caliber gun appeared behind the opponent's mecha and shot him directly.
"If you don't resist, you can still live."
"You are indeed all incense's lackeys!"
Li Xiaoyu looked at everyone and flashed his lightsaber.
Everyone else was killed by her.
"Why do you want to kill us? We obviously didn't attack you." One of the gunners was struggling desperately.
"I spared you because I saved your life. He shot and attacked me, but you didn't remind me."
"If I am injured and captured by you, will I have a good ending?"
"You knew this, but you didn't remind me that you already had a way to die!"
She said coldly.
The gunner died, and he died without feeling aggrieved.
Because he knew what the other person said was right.
At this time, a burst of artillery fire struck.
The plane also spotted Li Xiaoyu below.
The enemy's heavy artillery and aircraft tried to force Li Xiaoyu into a desperate situation.
However, she quickly took refuge in the ruins and went into hiding.
In this way, 700 elite resistance mechas persisted for several hours under the enemy's overwhelming firepower.
This surprised even the ghosts.
At this time, the city's buildings continued to collapse under gunfire, and the streets were covered with ruins and debris.
Some innocent residents were caught up in the fight.
Their homes were destroyed and their lives were threatened. The order of the city was completely broken by the war, and chaos and panic reigned everywhere.
Chen Yifei stood in front of the control tower screen.
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 caused great damage to the city.
But he can't give up.
He must protect the city held by the rebels.
The newcomer ghost said to retreat when he came up.
But after some estimation, he knew more about the situation.
It is possible to defend the first wave.
The enemy's technological level is nothing more than ordinary aircraft, artillery and tanks.
And our side already has mechas and energy weapons.
Although the quantity is at a disadvantage, the quality is extremely high.
In this way, he can gain greater prestige.
According to the results of the fighting between the parties, the enemy's attack was contained.
