Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1839 1840 Paul’s Struggle

In fact, the Tang army was indeed moving towards the two wings of Yucheng: it was just that such a test was relatively slow. The main force of the Tang Army is still in the Susas area, especially the heavy equipment.

Without the support of a large number of heavy weapons and equipment, the Tang army fought very cautiously. Although many tanks landed from Bunas, these armored units still did not choose the tactic of rapid advancement.

Although this gave Paul time to strengthen his defensive position, in fact he had no good choice: even if he was given another three months, he was not sure that Jade City would be built into a strong fortress.

There is an ancient city wall in Jade City that has not had time to be demolished. It was built when this was the capital of the Kingdom of Wright. Later, Datang Group obtained the management rights here and began to dismantle these unnecessary defensive measures.

After being dismantled and dismantled, a section was left, and no one took care of it, so it has been abandoned until now. When Datang Group left, it had been developed into a theme park and became a good place for locals to go up and enjoy the city scenery.

At this moment, on the city wall, Paul was pacing back and forth restlessly, raising the telescope in his hand from time to time and then putting it down irritably.

In the distance, on the edge of the city, you can see countless construction sites, one spreading to the end of the horizon, and the chilling atmosphere seems to smell like rust even from a distance.

"General, please take a rest...I have been standing here for so long." The adjutant said with a grimace. Ever since he received the information that Tang Jun began to appear around Yucheng, the usually calm General Paul was like an ant on a hot pot. , can't stop for a moment.

Paul glared at him fiercely: "Do you think I want to do this? The Tang army is coming fiercely, and our troops are not enough to fill their teeth! What happened to the workers who reinforced the defense line? They work so slowly!"

The adjutant shrank his neck and did not dare to speak any more. As subordinates, they naturally knew how powerful the Tang army was. The other party used very few troops to resist their attack on Bunas. This was why Paul's troops seemed so passive.

"Report!" An officer walked up to the city wall, stood at attention and saluted, and then reported: "The leaflets scattered by the Tang army yesterday have been collected and destroyed."

Yesterday, the Tang Army dispatched dozens of Ares bombers and dropped a large number of leaflets into Jade City. The content of the leaflet is still very simple, just a few sentences: Susas has surrendered, Bunas has returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty, soldiers of Jade City, do you still want to resist?

"Destroy it, so as not to disturb the morale of the army." Paul waved his hand impatiently and sent the officer away. He walked to the city wall and looked at the busy construction sites in the distance, feeling bitter in his heart.

He knew that everything in Tang Jun's leaflet was true. Susas is just a loser. The Tang army naturally surrendered when they arrived, and the same was true for the elves. What's even more annoying is that the surrender of these two countries also destroyed at least 1 million troops of the Lions Empire!

Those **** common people in the Lions Empire have long been looking forward to the Tang Army's attack. After all, the Tang Army's tax policy is a real discount for those common people.

As for Bunas, that port city has been operated by the Tang Group for many years, and it is also the back garden of the Tang army. It was not taken back before to benefit the rebels, which made Paul very regretful.

"General, do we really want to fight the Tang army here?" The adjutant came over and asked cautiously.

Paul didn't say anything, but took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a long drag. After a long silence, he uttered three words: "What else?" Paul said to himself bitterly, as if the question was being asked to himself, and as if he was questioning fate. He threw the cigarette **** on the ground and crushed it with his military boots, as if it was Tang Jun's head.

"Go down and tell those **** workers to speed up! If you miss me, I'll shoot them all and feed them to the dogs!" Paul roared at the adjutant, spraying spittle in the adjutant's face.

The adjutant nodded in agreement, but secretly complained in his heart: Who are those workers? They were all civilians they captured from the city. They were old, weak, sick and disabled, so how could they work so fast?

Besides, no matter how strong the positions that don’t look good are reinforced, how long can they withstand the Tang Army’s steel torrent?

The carefully designed trench system, covered by the artillery fire of the Tang army, was nothing more than a death trap that could be leveled to the ground with a few rounds of volleys. No matter how deep you dig or how complex the construction is, you can't withstand the cannonballs falling from the sky.

Those seemingly indestructible bunkers were more fragile than paper under the impact of the torrent of steel from the Tang Army. Heavy tank fire can easily tear through the thickest concrete fortifications and blow the defenders inside to pieces.

As for those positions that tried to use camouflage to hide their positions, they were unable to hide under the aerial patrols of Tang Army reconnaissance planes. High-altitude reconnaissance aircraft can easily detect any clues and transmit target information to the artillery units behind to guide precise fire strikes.

The casualties will certainly be great, and many people here will soon disappear completely from this world. Therefore, the atmosphere within the entire coalition forces is very dull, and no one is optimistic about the upcoming battle.

Of course Paul knew this, but he had no choice. He is the general of the Lions Empire, and it is his duty to defend the territory of the empire. Even if he knows that he cannot do it, he must bite the bullet.

There is no way, he is the last hope of the Lions Empire. He cannot betray Lions II, who single-handedly promoted him, nor can he betray the empire.

Of course Paul knew what the adjutant was thinking, but he could not retreat and had no way out. He exhaled a strong breath, as if to let out all the pain, and then waved his hand feebly, indicating that the adjutant could leave.

"And..." The adjutant just turned around to leave, but was stopped by Paul: "Tell those... wealthy businessmen in the city! Tell them to get out of here and leave their houses for me! And! Everyone has to pay when leaving the city. The tax has been increased five times! If you don’t have money, don’t leave!”

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Paul meant. He wanted the wealthy businessmen who usually only knew how to make money and have fun to defend the city.

Since these people have no way to go into battle, they must hand over a sum of money to encourage the soldiers. If they had seen real money, perhaps those frightened soldiers could have acted more bravely when they died.
