Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 299 Chapter 299
How to do this, what to do... If you ask this kind of question, it is basically equivalent to saying: "I have no special way!"

Things are so fantastic, and the king of Gemelin seems to have no good solution now.

He wants to rely on Cyric, but Cyric's latest reinforcements are probably still being loaded in neighboring countries and waiting to be transported.

He hoped to negotiate peace with the Datang Group and the Wright Kingdom, but now the Datang Group does not seem to want to sit down and talk with him.

"Your Majesty, we should at least defend the royal city now! This is the only thing we can do." The prime minister walked to the king's side with an ugly face, and suggested, "If we can't defend this place, it will be useless to talk about it. "

"You are right! Let the troops hold the city wall! As long as we can hold on here, there will be changes! The situation will develop in our favor!" The king nodded and agreed with this point of view.

He also saw that the Datang Group's attack had to be thwarted before they could talk... If he lost Wangcheng, then the Datang Group wouldn't have to talk to him.

In the same way, only when he defends the royal city and stops the advance of the Datang Group, will he have a chance to wait for Cyric's reinforcements, and he will have a chance to wait for changes.

"You! Go to the city gate on the west side yourself! Command the troops there, and hold on to it no matter what!" The king looked at the general in charge of the defense of the royal city, and gritted his teeth.

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "700 people are stationed on each side of the city wall! Then, on the west side, the wall closest to the enemy's attack direction, I will give you another 300 people!"

This is already all the troops he can get, and the total is 3100 people. In this way, there are only 100 soldiers left at most who can guard the palace.

Although it was very risky to do so, the king also knew that if he could not hold the city wall, or the outer line of defense, his palace would certainly not be able to hold it either.

As the saying goes, there will be no eggs under the nest, he is still very clear about this truth, so he decided that at least the outer city should be guarded, the palace and so on are all things to consider later.

In this way, on the frontal line of defense, Gemelin's troops had assembled at least 1000 people, which was more or less considered to have a little combat power.

It's just that among the 1000 people, about 800 people used Cyric flintlock guns, and some used cold weapons such as long swords.

There is no way... These are all patchwork weapons and equipment. Some people haven't even practiced shooting, and they won't know how to use muskets if they are given them.

Ever since, the general who had been strengthened by 300 people looked at his majesty the king, nodded solemnly, and promised: "Subordinates, I will definitely stick to the city! Fight to the last man!"

"Go!" Gemelin's king also nodded, waving his hand to signal that he could leave with some guards.

The general turned around and left without delay.Soon, he led the guards all the way to the west side of the city wall. At this time, some soldiers guarding the city ran down the city head in a hurry.

"What's going on?" The general asked sharply, pressing the revolver smuggled from a special channel on his waist.

The soldier panicked, looked back at the direction of the city, and then explained: "The enemy, the enemy is coming!"

Hearing the soldier's report, the general guarding the city felt a little bit in his heart, and secretly said that he was not good.

He desperately rushed to the top of the city with his people in a panic, hoping to have a look at the appearance of the enemy army.

When he got to the top of the city, he saw that the west city gate was hit by a shell from nowhere, and a billowing dust was raised.

"The city is broken! The city gate has been breached!" A soldier threw away his helmet and armor and rushed towards him in a panic. The general angrily drew out his revolver, and knocked the rout soldier to the ground with one shot.

He raised his pistol and shouted loudly: "Whoever disturbs the morale of the army will retreat before the battle! Kill! Go back!"

The more than 300 palace guards who followed him all the way were relatively well equipped. They all had Cyric flintlock guns, and they had practiced a few times on weekdays. At this time, they took up their weapons one after another.

Their bayonet-mounted muzzles were aimed at the guarding soldiers who were already out of shape, and they really calmed down the scene for a while.

Soon, an officer pushed through the crowd and came to the general. He pointed behind him and said, "General! The enemy bombarded the city gate, and a prisoner sent this... ..."

While speaking, he handed a letter to the general who came to command the defense: "They have cannons, we can't defend them."

In fact, there are cannons in Wangcheng, but the cannons on the top of the city are all muzzle-loading cannons, and they haven't been refurbished for many years.

Originally, these cannons were not advanced, but relying on their large caliber and sufficient tonnage, they were not far behind the times two years ago.

In the face of possible enemy field artillery attacking the city, these cannons can more or less serve as a deterrent.

But now, in the face of the mortars manufactured by the Datang Group, which is elusive and has an absolute advantage in range, as a secret weapon, these muzzle-loading guns seem outdated.

Their range and accuracy are poor, and their power is not enough, and they are almost useless when facing mortars.

The general received the letter of persuasion, and when he opened it, his face became brighter.I saw that there was only one sentence written on the letter: 10 minutes, all those who did not surrender would be killed.

He really wanted to sneer and throw out this letter of persuasion, stomp on his feet and sneer hard, and then put on a dignified look.

But his hands trembled slightly, but in the end he didn't have the courage to let go of his fingers.He looked at the rout soldier who was lying on the ground and was killed by his headshot just now, and suddenly felt that this unlucky soldier died a bit unjustly.

It's a pity that he didn't intend to help the other party Pingxue's grievances, after all, he still wanted some face.

Right now, everyone knows that this battle is not easy to fight. If you lose the king city, can you really live and die with the city wall and risk your own life?

I have a beautiful wife and concubine in my family, and there are a lot of gold coins and land deeds... I don't know which bastard will be cheaper when I die.

If you think about it carefully, it would be better to surrender, save your own life, and then become a rich man with peace of mind...

So, he looked at the officer who was originally stationed on the city, and asked, "You are taking this letter... are you going to... the palace?"

The officer was not sure what the general meant, so he explained ambiguously: "This subordinate is preparing to report to the superior..."

"The city wall that has been repaired for a hundred years...it's a pity..." The general pointedly looked at the city wall that was bombarded by shells over there, and said with emotion: "It was destroyed in one day..."

"How about...we...surrender?" The officer saw that the general hesitated, and asked tentatively for his own future.

"Hmm..." The general didn't know whether to sigh or agree, so he answered vaguely, but it was definitely meaningful at the moment.

The officer understood it immediately, moved closer to the general, lowered his voice and said, "I just sent someone there...the other party promised not to harm our family, the manor house, family servants, all will be left for us... ..."

Hearing what the officer said, the general looked even better, and nodded, "I don't know if there are any confidantes of the king among the people I brought... Do you have a solution?"

"Don't worry, general... the ones behind me are all smart people who are willing to surrender." The officer gestured behind him, and many soldiers raised their guns, and faintly confronted the palace guards brought by the general stand up.

Seeing that the atmosphere was very tense, the general immediately shouted to the guards behind him: "The enemy army is approaching menacingly today. I consider everyone's life and decide to dedicate the city to surrender... If anyone is willing to fight, I won't leave everyone behind. Let's leave quickly! "

In fact, speaking of such words at this time, these palace guards have no choice.Even if they left, they lost the city wall barrier, and they didn't have the courage to continue fighting.

However, there were still [-] or [-] people who took advantage of the chaos and went down the city wall with their weapons. They wanted to go back to the palace.

The rest of the people put down their weapons, and a few minutes later, Northridge soldiers wearing M35 helmets boarded the top of the city and entered the royal city of Gmelin.

The king's flag symbolizing the Kingdom of Gmelin was thrown from the top of the city, and a wolf flag symbolizing North Ridge was raised, and the North Ridge army guarding the guarding soldiers immediately cheered: "Bei Ridge Long live!"

"Long live Earl Alice!" Other soldiers held 98K rifles and shouted with a smile. The entire royal city of Gemelin seemed to be trembling in the cheers.

The local civilians were so frightened that they closed their doors and windows tightly, and many streets were empty.There were also some civilians who had just learned that the enemy had invaded the royal city, and couldn't help crying bitterly.

In the palace of Gmelin, the king heard the shelling that had threatened the defenders. He walked back and forth nervously in front of his throne, looking in the direction of the shelling from time to time, his forehead covered with sweat.

Finally, a soldier with a gun stumbled in, startling all the ministers present.

This place was originally a place where soldiers were not allowed to enter with guns, but the situation was obviously chaotic, and no one restrained such things anymore.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The west city gate has surrendered! Surrender!" The soldier shouted as soon as he entered, making everyone's legs go weak.

All the ministers were stunned on the spot. The hall, which was still full of discussions before, became abnormally quiet in an instant. Even a needle falling on the ground seemed to be clearly heard.

Snapped!King Gmelin, blind-eyed, fell down on the flagstone floor in front of the throne.
