Chapter 92, Storm Trap
The Sisters of Battle have the right idea.
A factory that has been bombed into ruins is of little value in bombarding it with artillery. The half-ruins that were blown down became a bunker for survivors, and they were stronger than normal factory buildings.
To chew it down, we still need to rely on infantry to fight.
If there were only armed workers as opponents, two infantry battalions would be enough to take them down. The number of armed workers who are still alive will not be too many, and they lack heavy weapons and military skills. Even if they appear to be brave and unafraid of death, it is only a matter of time before they are all killed.
With the quality of the Governor's soldiers, even in the most costly and bloody hand-to-hand battle, the losses would actually be very limited.
As long as those blue robes are killed.
That's what the nuns do.
They did a good job indeed, leading the soldiers to start moving forward again with their heroic actions.
At the same time, after understanding the situation on the battlefield, the commanders of the 2nd and 6th Battalions who participated in the battle also made plans to increase the number of front-line soldiers. At this point, four infantry companies have been engaged in front-line battles, including the only company with a special number in the entire army - the Waste Hole Company.
When large numbers of blue-robed workers were targeted and eliminated by the battle nuns, without the 'artillery', it became extremely difficult for the remaining armed workers to resist.
The situation turned back to the side of the governor's soldiers.
According to this situation, the battle should have come to an end.
……
After Gu Hang arrived at the scene and met with Perbeuf, Lambert and others who were directing the battle outside, he used his mind power to control his body and looked down from a high place. This is what he saw about the battle situation.
Logically speaking, this situation should make him feel relieved.
The nuns of Holy Mercy Lily worked very hard when facing the heresy; the soldiers accompanied the battle with high morale. Although there were some casualties, they were completely within the acceptable range.
Although a factory was smashed, this should be the only place in Fuxing City that can still carry out armed resistance on a large scale. Once the fight is over, it should be done. With this killing of chickens as a warning to monkeys, the remaining alliance dignitaries have no ability to resist and can only tremble under the butcher knife wielded by Lambert.
However, the throbbing feeling in Gu Hang's heart suddenly came again at this moment.
It was as if some huge disaster was about to take shape before his eyes.
He directly turned on his spiritual vision and looked at the entire battlefield.
Gu Hang saw many scattered reactions of storm evil energy.
Those armed workers have been implanted with some kind of evil power in advance, which can be detonated after death or even while alive.
The dots of storm evil energy that Gu Hang saw should be these, and they were normal.
As for the others who are both strong and weak, they should be the blue-robed cultists who have emerged. They were taking the full force of the Lily of Divine Mercy and dying quickly.
If this trend continues, in a few hours at most, before the sun sets, the entire factory area will be completely cleared.
In short, at a glance, Gu Hang didn't see anything wrong.
So what was the reason for his heart palpitations before?
Isn’t this a spiritual warning? Is it just that you have been too tired recently and your brain is twitching?
Gu Hang thought this and felt a little more relaxed.
This is of course the best. Otherwise, if there is any crisis, it will be trouble.
Thinking of this, Gu Hang glanced at the battlefield again.
Still no problem...wait? !
Gu Hang frowned deeply.
It wasn't that he saw anything new, but that he seemed to have ignored it.
Those light spots that symbolized the magic of the storm seemed a bit too much.
According to what Perbov had reported to him about the previous battles, even if an armed worker died, the body would be used as a mine or an artillery shell.
Of course, the used corpse bomb will not have any light spots.
When the nuns of the Holy Mercy Lily began to show off their power against the blue-robed cultists, the soldiers followed them and dealt with the remaining armed workers.
Without the control of the warlock, the body will not explode on its own after death. But despite this, the soldiers also tried their best to stay away from the corpses that had not exploded to ensure that there would be no consequences of being blown up by some magician who had not had time to eliminate them while walking.
How to deal with these remaining corpses afterwards is a troublesome problem, but at least for now, they are unlikely to become a threat to this battle.
However, the number of light spots that Gu Hang saw did not match the number of armed workers killed by the soldiers and still resisting in the center of the ruins.
Moreover, there are many light spots of storm evil energy, which overlap with the positions of the soldiers.
He thought before that there might be soldiers approaching accidentally. But if you look closely, you can see that the soldiers had no idea that there were corpses of armed workers next to them.
It may be normal for one or two people to be careless; but it is not normal for so many people to overlap.
Don't you want to die?
Impossible.
Thinking of the previous situation, Gu Hang suddenly thought: Are those workers buried under the ruins of the factory who died from the previous shelling caused by hundreds of shells?
Their bodies are also implanted with the energy of storm magic, and they can also be used as corpse bombs.
It was just because of the previous shelling that a large area of the factory area collapsed, and many corpses or even living people were buried under the rubble.
However, being buried does not mean that there is no threat.
What if these thousands of them exploded simultaneously under the ruins?
The equivalent of thousands of air compression bombs exploded below, and the shock wave and air pressure released instantly would blow the seemingly solid and stable semi-ruined site into the sky.
For those already caught up in it, the consequences are devastating.
Not to mention the four infantry companies of the 2nd and 6th Battalions that went into battle, I am afraid that all of them would be wiped out. Even the six Holy Sisters of Mercy Lily brought in by Garrett might be severely damaged by this wave.
After thinking about this risk, Gu Hang didn't even have time to communicate with Perbov, Lambert and others.
His orders were transmitted throughout the battlefield through psychic vibrations:
"I am Gu Hang. I order everyone to stop fighting and withdraw from the factory area."
"Repeat it, evacuate the factory area immediately!"
In order to prevent Garrett, who was not his subordinate, from not understanding his order, he specially opened a psychic communication line and sent the voice into her ears: "This is probably a trap. Get out first." , let’s take a long-term view!”
