People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 542 Cowardice

Xiaoqiu County, garrison base.

Hamilton stared calmly at the huge map in the tent.

On the map, the town of Xiaoqiu County, the surrounding agricultural and mobile plots, and the hilly terrain are all roughly divided with simple strokes.

Also on this map, densely packed red marks are distributed in many locations.

That is a sign that indicates the possible existence of the Deep Pool Force.

Hamilton's face showed no emotion. He stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, waiting for his adjutant to come.

He didn't have to wait too long. Hill came up to him respectfully from outside the tent, saluted, and stood still without saying a word.

"How's it going?"

Hamilton took the initiative to break the silence.

Hill said respectfully: “Everyone in the garrison who has anything to do with the Tara people, even those who only have Tara blood, has been controlled.

Only a few people, such as Captain Kelly, received the news in advance and chose to escape. "

"I'm not surprised." Hamilton sneered, "When I asked him to deal with his nephew who had taken refuge in Shenchi, he agreed but was hesitant.

From then on, I became more certain of one thing: the Tara people were hyenas that could never be tamed, a group of dirty termites that would only eat Victoria from the inside out bit by bit. "

Hill lowered his head to hide the special emotion that flashed across his eyes.

After Hamilton finished complaining, Hill reported again:

"Kelly fled to Xiaoqiu County. I guess he was desperate, but he knew that the garrison had hijacked the source stone products to make dirty bombs, so he wanted to pass on this information and drag the garrison into the water."

"Don't worry about him. He will soon disappear along with those dirty and despicable Tara people."

Hamilton took a deep breath, and his deep eyes contained a madness that ordinary people could not imagine.

He waved Hill away.

But just as Hill reached the gate of the tent, before he could take a step out, a messenger ran in hurriedly.

"Urgent news came from the front line of Xiaoqiu County. Shenchi suddenly assembled troops and left the city."

"Ok?"

Hamilton and Hill couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they heard the news.

"Where are they going?" Hamilton snapped.

"Southwest."

Hearing this, Hamilton suddenly turned his head and stared at the map.

In the southwest of Xiaoqiu County, a blue sign firmly encircles a valley.

"This is not a coincidence. The artillery battalion has been exposed...there are still traitors within the garrison!" Hamilton's expression was twisted and hideous because of anger.

But he did not just focus on his anger, he immediately ordered:

"Assemble the troops and support the artillery battalion!"

……

……

The cannons whistled to the ground, emitting a deafening roar, one after another, like the sound of continuous rain.

The Shenchi vanguard troops responsible for the charge suffered heavy losses under the terrifying firepower of the artillery battalion before they had even covered half the distance.

The leader stood behind the line, his brows almost knotted into a knot.

"Xiaobai, something is wrong." The leader said in a deep voice, "This base of the enemy doesn't look like an ordinary weapons storage base. The artillery fire is too dense. It is likely to be a fully equipped artillery battalion."

"That's a good thing."

Qi Yan said firmly: "This shows that the enemy not only made ammunition for us, but also prepared artillery. As long as we can take down this base, all the good stuff will be ours!"

leader:"……"

She felt that it was wrong and shouldn't be like this.

Qi Yan knew that what she thought was right because her tactical planning was excellent.

But Qi Yan knew better that what was wrong was right at this time.

Of course, this is just for him...

"Xiaobai, if this continues, even if Shenchi wins, it will be a miserable victory." The leader looked at the soldiers of Shenchi falling down one after another, and felt his heart bleeding. "This kind of victory requires too many sacrifices. Maybe we can try another way and retreat to re-plan the attack plan."

"There's no time. You're not a good leader yet," Qi Yan criticized.

At the front, after the Shenchi vanguard troops suffered heavy losses, the other troops, without any command, officially opened the battle line under the leadership of their respective team captains.

The long-range troops on Shenchi's side began to fight back. Under the cover of their companions, they penetrated deep into the front line and covered the artillery battalion within their attack range.

The shield guards put up their shields and used their flesh and blood to force their way forward, constantly approaching the artillery battalion, forcing the artillery battalion to concentrate its firepower on them, making it unable to clear the long-range forces in the deep pool.

The moment this war broke out, it directly entered into the most intense life-for-life fighting.

The leader looked embarrassed and gritted his teeth and said:

"Are you saying that I am too indecisive to sacrifice?"

Qi Yan shook his head silently without explaining anything.

Just as the leader was trying to use his identity to force Qi Yan to change his mind, a messenger from Shen Chi hurried over from the front line.

"Report to the leader, our vanguard troops have already contacted the artillery battalion's defense line as you ordered."

"But... everyone died." The leader opened his mouth in shock.

But she saw clearly that of the vanguard troops that she had personally ordered to charge at the instigation of Qi Yan, only one in ten of them remained, and their corpses were piled up like a mountain outside the artillery battalion's defense line.

The messenger was somewhat confused by what the leader said, and said blankly:

"Isn't this the leader's plan? Let the vanguard charge forward, and then the leader will wake up their corpses and win the victory in one fell swoop."

leader:"……"

Faced with the messenger's hopeful eyes and Qi Yan's unpredictable expression beside her, the leader was really panicked at this moment.

Her flame does not have the effect of resurrecting the dead!

She is not a real leader!

"You go down first." The leader gritted his teeth and sent the messenger away.

"Yes……"

The messenger came with hope, but had to leave in disappointment.

This change in emotion suddenly turned into an invisible sharp knife, deeply piercing the leader's heart.

"Xiaobai, I..." The leader hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell the truth.

But every time she recalled that figure in her mind, the sister who cast a shadow over her life, she felt like she was suffocating and couldn't muster the courage to resist.

Now she regrets very much why she didn't act tougher and directly refuse the request to send troops.

"Do you want to withdraw your troops?" Qi Yan suddenly asked.

The leader was shocked and nodded subconsciously.

But when she noticed Qi Yan's gaze fixed on her, she suddenly became undecided.

Is it really right to withdraw troops at this time?

She looked at the battlefield, where the Deep Pool soldiers fearlessly charged again and again under the bombardment.

Do they want to retreat at this time?

Even at this critical moment, she couldn't help but recall the figure holding Chi Xiao in the banquet hall.

If it were that Chen Huijie, what would he do at this moment?

"Hold on a little longer. I have some arrangements inside the enemy's artillery battalion." Qi Yan spoke again.

"Should we postpone the attack?" the leader asked hurriedly.

"No."

Qi Yan decisively refused: "We have no way out. The moment Shen Chi's troops left the city, you, as a leader, should have considered that the garrison would definitely notice our actions.

I can conclude that the garrison troops are on their way. We must not only win this battle, but also win it as quickly and decisively as possible!"
