Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

Not long after, the people who were investigating the news brought back information that the western city gate was wide open, and the defenders originally stationed in that direction were killed silently!

"Quick! Go check out the situation inside the Lu family!"

The county magistrate felt a chill in his head, and he felt a chill all over his body. It seemed as if there was a dark hand controlling everything. The green pirates suddenly took action in the middle of the night, the city wall suddenly collapsed, and there were two different communication signals in the sky, everything pointed to an impossible possibility.

"Lu, could it be that they are really rebelling?"

Volume 266: Chapter Chapter : The Battle of Yixing Ends

"Personnel dispersed, target 5094, mortar fire coverage, fire!"

After a dull burst of artillery fire, the top of Yixing City was bombarded by artillery shells from heavy armored troops. Mortar shells hit the top of the city with a violent whistling sound, and then exploded, one after another.

The city wall, which had long been broken into two pieces, faced unprecedented destruction. The bricks on it were scattered everywhere, and the entire city wall was shortened.

These mortar shells were not directed at the main force of the local defenders. They mainly acted as an atmosphere group to create an atmosphere. The humanoids needed to put enough pressure on the opponent to make them send out a distress signal, but at the same time they could not hit too hard and directly break them apart. The balance in this was very difficult to grasp.

"Fire coverage~ What an old and poor term, isn't it?"

Looking at the flickering flames in front of him, AK12 complained lightly.

"Yeah... it's a very old term."

There used to be an old saying, "If you are desperate, you should use tactical infiltration, and if you are successful, you should bomb me." This saying applies to all our previous wars, but it is different when it comes to humanoids. In the humanoid battlefield with extremely advanced scientific and technological levels and national resources, the saying is "If you are desperate, you should use firepower coverage, and if you are successful, you should use precise strikes." The error value of a long-range tactical missile flying in the air will not exceed 20 centimeters, and you cannot escape no matter what.

Fire coverage is just a stupid method from the last century.

However, this is very useful in today's battlefield. You can enjoy the pleasure of bullying the weak ones and it is very stress-relieving.

"County Lord, let's retreat quickly! The enemy's firepower is too strong! We can't withstand it!!"

The adjutants below tried their best to protect the county magistrate. Just now, several of them used their shields to block a piece of rubble that was pumped away by the bomb. If they hadn't blocked it, the county magistrate would only have half of his head left.

"Where is the person who went to the Lu residence to check on the situation? Has he returned?"

"The man has returned, sir."

"how is the situation?"

"According to what he said, the entire Lu Mansion was covered in blood, and the Lu family members were nowhere to be found."

"It's really the opposite..."

The county magistrate was stunned. I was just kidding, brother, why are you serious? The Lu family rebelled. This is a big deal. Who is Lu Xiangsheng? The Minister of War, a first-rank official. Even the emperor has defined such a person as a pillar of the country. If this gets out, I will force the Lu family members to rebel because I bullied orphans and widows... No, does it matter whether it gets out or not? I am afraid that I will be killed here soon.

"Jianning!"

"exist!"

"Take my message and go to the provincial government to ask for help. The Lu family has rebelled. Yixing City is under siege by the enemy army and is in imminent danger. Ask them to send troops to support us as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, sir! It will be delivered!"

The adjutant who delivered the message led two horses and quietly slipped out from the other side of the city gate under the moonlight, galloping all the way towards the provincial capital. What he didn't know was that above his head, there was a bright purple light following him from a distance.

"The estimated speed is 50 kilometers per hour. At this speed, it will take a day to reach the nearest city, right? Adding the speed at which reinforcements arrive, do we have to surround this broken place for two days? Is this reasonable?"

"Indeed, with the current strength of artillery, if this fight lasts for two days, I'm afraid even the enemy won't believe it."

Several humanoids were discussing this.

"The messenger has already set out, so we can give up the feint and start the real siege."

"? Didn't we agree to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements?"

"We need to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements, but I didn't say we won't attack Yixing City. There are many forms of tactical deception. I want the reinforcements and I want Yixing City. I have the ability to take them all. Why should I choose?"

"......You should have less contact with the commander."

"And you come to take the top position? I tell you, it's impossible!"

"M4, how did you become like this?"

"People grow up, my friend. Okay, no more nonsense. Now that these defenders have completed their mission, it's time for us to get to work. Change the target position to 5037, mortar fire coverage, Steel Lion formation, target position to 5321, heavy fire coverage support."

"Everyone, check your equipment. We will start the attack after two minutes of fire coverage."

Putting away their teasing, the humanoids quickly and methodically began to deploy their attack. Something happened that made the Yixing defenders despair: the devastating artillery fire from before seemed no longer obsessed with destroying the city walls, but instead kept moving closer to them.

Unlike the cruelty of a breech-loading cannon that cuts a bloody path through the crowd, this explosive artillery fire is even more despairing. Every time a cloud of smoke explodes, a large number of people are turned into minced meat on the spot. The smell of burnt hair and flesh is sickening. For every soldier who has not experienced such a tragic battlefield, such a psychological blow is devastating.

The artillery fire covered the area for only two minutes, but in the eyes of these soldiers, these two minutes seemed as long as a year. They were suppressed by the artillery fire and could not raise their heads. The environment around them was constantly destroyed, and their comrades around them were blown away along with their bunkers. They didn't know if they would be the next one, and the time kept stretching out.

"I quit, I quit!!"

Soon, the first soldier could no longer hold on and turned around and fled from his own formation.

Seeing this, many people dropped their swords and ran away, not looking back no matter how the officers beside them called out to them. After the first one, there was the second, and the third. Soon, these remnant soldiers, who had originally had little fighting spirit, began to flee one after another, and only one in ten remained with the county magistrate.

For these Ming troops, two minutes was a long time, but for the humanoids, two minutes was a short time. They prepared their equipment, checked the ammunition, and checked the indicator lights. It passed in a blink of an eye. The artillery fire gradually died down, and it was time to start checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.

Several people walked steadily towards the ruins of the city wall. Along the way, there were broken limbs and even soldiers who were blown to the point of only having one breath left, screaming in pain. The response that greeted them was a bullet of relief.

The dolls advanced while steadily firing follow-up shots. For a moment, only sporadic gunshots were heard on the battlefield.

"There are signs of activity inside the bunker at 10 o'clock, everyone please pay attention"

NTW, which was responsible for observing the situation from a distance, reported the information.

"No problem, leave it to me"

The M4 determined the punctuation position of the NTW, and the under-slung grenade launcher at the muzzle directly spewed out a tongue of fire, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose along with screams.

"The infrared signal of the target point has disappeared, you can continue the action."

"Change coordinates to 4396, artillery fire coverage, three minutes"

"After this battle, I have to apply for a vacation. I am exhausted these days."

While they were cleaning up the mess in an orderly manner, the humanoids started chatting again when they had some time off from fighting.

"Vacation? What are you going to do?"

"Of course you should relax during your vacation. Go fishing, take a walk, play around, etc. You can also have some fun with the Commander. It's really stressful to stare at human corpses all day long."

"The real purpose is revealed, right?"

"What? Is there anything else to relax here?"

"The Commander is not your Tamagotchi! Ybb!"

"NTW, what about you? What are you going to do after this fight?"

"Need I ask? He must have gone hunting."

“…There are many animals here that I have never seen before. It feels like hunting. I want to experience it more.”

"It's up to you, ah...I really want to eat ice cream..."

There were still a few personal soldiers left by the Yixing County Magistrate's side. They were now covering the magistrate's retreat. After experiencing such a bombardment, all of them had lost the confidence to resist. If they could communicate, the county magistrate would have been ready to surrender on the spot.

The gunshots coming from the front were like the death warrant. Several people ran forward desperately, but soon they stopped.

In front of them stood a person, that was M4.

M4 pulled up his mask at this moment. The skull mask that once pinched his Call of Duty ghost made him look like a devil from hell under the current atmosphere.

"You... who are you? Why are you attacking Yixing?!" the county magistrate asked. Maybe he wanted to buy some more time, but M4 had no interest in answering him and slowly raised his gun.

"It's the Lu family, it's the Lu family, right? I've known about their evil ambitions for a long time, and now they've been exposed. I tell you, if you continue like this, you'll definitely die. Why don't you..."

A few bursts of fire sent back the county magistrate's next words and the names of several of his personal soldiers, and the world became quiet.

"Actually, I kind of want to go to the amusement park, but if you think about it, you know it's impossible, right...?"

"As expected of a little princess, every place she goes is full of girlishness"

"If you say one more word, I'll make you plant mines"

"I'm so! Don't!"

Listening to the voice coming from the communication channel, Jiang Han smiled like an auntie: "Now I know what they want."

"In that case, how will you reward me, my commander?"

The one who sold the information of her sisters to the commander was naturally our Miss AK12, whose white hair looked like a snow wolf but was actually as cunning as a fox.

"Ah...what reward do you want?"

Jiang Han, who had just gotten rid of his straight man status not long ago, was obviously unable to deal with someone like AK12.

"Well... I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it."

"....Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?" Jiang Han probed gently.

"I see, that's indeed a question. Will you regret it, Commander~?"

The slightly rising tone of voice on the other end of the line was like a brush tickling Jiang Han's heart.

"Ah this..."

I lost, and because of my mentality, I lost everything!

"It's settled then, prepare your little surprise for us. I look forward to you bringing me more fun, Commander~"

Volume 267: Chapter Chapter : Development of Breeding

"What did you say??? The Lu family rebelled!?"

In Changzhou Prefecture, the Changzhou prefect felt terrible when he heard the news.

"Yes, sir. Yixing Prefecture was attacked by bandits. It was found that the Lu family had rebelled. The county lord sent me here overnight to ask for help. Sir, the governor, the bandits are powerful. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

The herald in the hall tearfully requested the provincial government to send reinforcements.

"Okay, I understand. You can go down and rest first."

The prefect waved his hand to send the people away, and began to discuss with the officials around him: "You all heard that the Lu family has rebelled, and what do you think about going to Yixing to reinforce?"

"This... The Lu family has always been submissive. There are not many males in the family. Lu Xiangsheng only has two sons, and they are not yet adults. How can he rebel? Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Someone raised their own questions.

"Humph, you see that he is submissive, so how can he not be lying to us, waiting for the right time to launch a big event? However, raising the banner of rebellion at this time is really not a wise choice. I think that the Yixing County Magistrate is probably playing some tricks again, and now he wants our prefecture to clean up his mess."

"Everyone, have you forgotten the Jiang bandits in Yangzhou next door? They just repelled an army of 70,000 two days ago. I'm afraid that the Lu family is rebelling now in order to surrender to them."

"What you said does make some sense..."

"But if it is really that thief Jiang, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? The imperial court's 70,000 troops couldn't move them at all, so what can we do with the power of Changzhou?"

"Not only that, the Lu family has a strong reputation. If we come forward and make a call, I'm afraid many people will follow us..."

"Damn it! How could he rebel?!"

"I think some people are too difficult. If they didn't do those little tricks, how could the Lu family rebel?"

"What do you mean? Are you slandering me?"

"I didn't say who it was, why are you so anxious? So it was you?"

"You're looking for trouble, aren't you? You want to fight?"

"Come on! I'm afraid of you! You old bastard, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time. You don't have much beard but you act like a grandson all day long. You're short and stout and just keep whining."

"Brother Cao Ni! Hey!"

As they were talking, several of them started to wrestle with each other, punching each other in the cheeks and pulling each other's hair. It was very lively.

"That's enough! We are all officials in the same court, why do we have to do this?"

Several people were trying to stop the fight.

"Why are you pretending to be a good person? It was you who came up with the bad idea to target the Lu family. Now you are pretending to be a good person, you bastard."

"I...."

"Stop it!!"

The prefect slammed the gavel, and seeing the prefect's face as black as the bottom of a pot, the room suddenly became quiet.

"If you want to fight, go down and do it. This is the government office! It's not right for officials from the imperial court to fight with each other!"
