Alien Arms Empire.

This kind of thing is basically impossible to ask, unless they think they have too many heads.But they had to ask again, because this was a question raised by the Tang Empire.

To die or to live, that is the question.If Mirage really wanted to be a dead person, he could fight to the end.

The reason why Mirage chose to surrender and negotiate was because he didn't want to die, and he didn't dare to die, at least he didn't want to die.

In fact, when death comes, who wants to really die.If there is a hope, everyone hopes that they can live.

……

The goblin troops trapped in Dingcheng also want to live. The reason why they can survive until now is because of people who are familiar with the truth, few can survive until the next day.

Every day, strong men were captured and put into battle here. Before they even finished serious military training, they were sent to the front line, facing the ferocious firepower of the orcs, fighting with pitiful bullets.

In fact most had no bullets, and they didn't even have weapons: many were given only a shovel, or simply a stick.

Such weapons made the ordinary people who were escorted a little confused. They didn't know whether their superiors were joking or everything was true.

They only have a stick, and then they have to fight the orc's machine gun?Isn't this just to die?What a joke.

The orcs were also taken aback by the goblin's tactics. They were shocked to find that the civilians of Mirage began to rush towards them like a tide.

The other party was really challenging the orc's machine guns and rifles with flesh and blood. The gunshots on the battlefield rang out and then fell silent.

The corpses of civilians are everywhere on the ground, making the entire battlefield look like hell.Then the main force of the goblins launched an attack again. It turned out that they just hoped to use civilians to consume the ammunition of the orc troops.

In the end, they succeeded. After holding on for three days, the orc troops returned the building where the bloody dragon flag of the Tang Empire was hung to the goblin.

Before leaving, the orc troops took the flag, and the goblins did not gain anything after they attacked the ruins of the building.Except for a pile of bullet casings that made them excited, there were almost no other trophies.

These shell casings can be taken back and smelted for continued use. Half a month ago, the goblin soldiers were required to recycle their used bullet casings.

Because of the successive defeats, there are not many opportunities for goblins to pick up orc shell casings. In most cases, they can only pick up the ones they dropped.

Even so, copper reserves are not enough.The goblins have to strictly stipulate that how many bullets are shot, how many shell casings must be retrieved.

If you can't complete the performance, you will be criticized and humiliated in public, and even take off your pants to hit the board. That scene is really miserable.

After retaking the central square, the goblins once thought they saw hope.As a result, more orc forces launched a counterattack, and they began to outflank the goblin forces in the center from both wings.

The two sides fought fiercely again, and in the afternoon, the square in the middle was still controlled by the mirage army, but the two wings here had already been occupied by orc soldiers.

For any soldier, such a battlefield is brutal.The positions of both sides were densely packed with corpses, which even made people feel disgusting at first glance.

The mirage soldiers who didn't know that Mirage had already begun to sue for peace were still fighting desperately. No one knew that their situation was actually very passive.

The 3rd Armored Division of the Mirage, which flanked to support the defense, had only 7 combat tanks left.They have been retreating, and now they have retreated to a fairly rear position.

Here, the orc troops had surrounded the northern part of the fortress area in the central mountain range, and the northernmost mirage army was stationed in a solid trench, fighting hard on three sides.

But Mirage Wuyou has been unable to mobilize more troops to support the 3rd Armored Division: the 2nd Armored Division of the Mirage Army is basically nothing left.

This armored division has not been replenished for a long time, and now there are only three tanks left that can be used.As for these tanks, they also shoulder the important task of training new tankers. Under normal circumstances, they will not be sent out to fight at all.

In fact, there is no way to participate in the battle: these tanks are the oldest Cyric 2 tanks. This kind of tanks are basically given for free when they go to the battlefield now.

Knowing that it was unlikely to receive new tanks, the 2nd Armored Division took up the task of training.

More than half of the backbone of this division has been transferred away, and most of the rest are recruits who have not even completed basic training.Such a force does not have much combat effectiveness at all, and its existence itself explains many problems.

Both armored units have been overwhelmed. The 3rd Armored Division has been fighting fiercely for more than ten days, and is now exhausted.Ammunition, food and medicine are scarce, and its supplies are almost cleared now.

In such a state, the 3rd Armored Division still relied on relatively strong infantry tactics and adopted the tactics of luring the enemy deep, which dealt a severe blow to Tang Mo's arrogance.

It's a pity that the veterans are fighting less and less, and organized combat is becoming more and more problematic.Without the support of non-commissioned officers and lieutenants, the entire army will soon fall apart.

The current Mirage 3rd Armored Division has actually fallen apart: its command organization has been completely unable to find its own armed forces.

Fortunately, the orc troops suspended their offensive due to supplies, and this heroic goblin army survived.

From the map, the goblin's central fortified defense line has been surrounded by orc troops with a C-shaped fortification.The troops trapped in the circle now live in fear every day.

Mirage is in her basement, staring at the map on the office desk in a daze.He used to read nautical charts, but now he is not used to reading maps.

The admiral has been concerned about the outcome of the front line recently. When he learned that a troop had taken back the center of Dingcheng, he was so happy that he even ate an extra bowl for dinner.

It's a pity that things backfired. After holding on for another two days, the orc troops captured there again.The weak goblin troops had to give up the counterattack, and once again focused on how to defend against the attack of the orc troops.

They built fortifications in every building or ruin, causing as much trouble as possible for the orc troops.But no matter how hard they tried, Dingcheng was gradually occupied by the orc troops.

Mirage Wuyou just came here, and he conveyed a bad news to Mirage Ping: the mirage army in the city is about to collapse, and it is not surprising when Dingcheng falls.

Everything seems to be just a matter of time: Mirage really has no reserve force, and instead of wasting those civilians here, it would be more cost-effective to invest in the defense of Mirage.

The heavy casualties caused the rear, especially Miwuke, to start thinking about giving up the city.Everyone knew the city had held out for too long, so no one had a problem with abandoning Dingcheng—except Mirage.

Mirage resolutely opposes any form of giving up positions. What he needs is time and a bargaining chip to delay negotiations.In this way of thinking, Dingcheng is definitely a good place not to give up.

But Mirage Wuke is very clear: the reserve team has been exhausted, and the people temporarily recruited can't even eat enough to eat. How can they be compared with the powerful soldiers of the orcs on the opposite side.

He hoped that the troops could be transferred to Mirage first, where they could intensify their training.In this way, these soldiers can be more or less equipped with some combat capabilities, and they can be consumed more slowly.

As for the central defense line... if you give up, you will give up. Anyway, there are still some supplies inside, so it shouldn't be a big problem to persist in the mountains for a month or two.

This value is not accurate. What Wuke calculated is the normal consumption of food, ammunition and other materials in the central defense line.

Now the central defense line has been out of supplies for a long time, the ammunition is almost consumed, and the food and medicine are almost exhausted.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic to expect the mirage army in the central defense line to contain the orc army for a month or two.

Mirage especially had already reported the situation to Mirage, but Mirage didn't believe it.The army general believed that it was all Mirage Wuyou's exaggeration, and he just hoped to ask for more supplies and ammunition.

However, there is also a shortage of ammunition and medicines here in the capital, so all the stocks cannot be transferred to the defense line of the headquarters... So Miwuke did not agree to Miwuyou's request.

Afterwards, the desperate mirage Wuyou asked mirageping to write a letter to mirage wuke, asking for support for the central defense line.But the letter was thrown aside without even reading it.

If he had a way to save him, he would definitely send troops to save him. Now he really has no good way, because the 3rd Armored Division has clearly replied to Miwuke, telling him that the northern war situation is irreparable.

Under such circumstances, the encirclement of the central theater is inevitable, and Miwuke will definitely not send troops to Dingcheng to fill the hole that is destined not to be filled.

Another reason that Miwuke began to study the defense line of Mirage is that Mirage clearly told him that the war should change in a short period of time, so Miwuke must consider whether to fight in Mirage, which is more suitable for holding the position. The final battle.

After all, the city has more buildings that can be used for street fighting, the city has more material reserves that can be used, the city has more civilians that can be requisitioned, and the city has stronger bunkers that can be used as support...

As for Mirage Wuyou and Mirage Ping...the two of them will stay in the central defense line to be loyal to the country and atone for themselves!

Mirage, who didn't know all of this, was still working hard to maintain the dignity of an admiral. He sat in the headquarters and inspired every goblin around him.
