Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 258
The actions of some Enkelans soldiers to attack civilians were like sparks in a powder keg, directly detonating the emotions of most citizens who were already dissatisfied with the parliament and the army.
While the Imperial forces were advancing down the streets, anger over the brutality of the Enclave soldiers against civilians also gave Imperial operatives lurking in the city an opportunity.
They distributed all their stockpiles of weapons to the civilians who had decided to join them before the battle broke out, and then led the gang into the streets menacingly, attacking the rear of the Enklan army.
“Welcome the great imperial army into the city!”
They shouted similar slogans and attacked the unsuspecting Enkland soldiers, who had no idea that the civilians they “protected” would target themselves, and they were caught off guard. Under the circumstances, they can only retreat steadily for a while.
At the same time, the civilians who were humiliated by the soldiers of the benefactor also fought back bravely. They roared and picked up everything they could use as weapons and smashed them at the abusive soldiers.
A teenage man who was only ten years old watched in horror as the soldiers pressed his mother under him with a lascivious smile. Hearing his mother’s miserable cries, he suddenly had the courage to resist. He roared and grabbed. He lifted the wooden stool next to him and smashed it down at the soldier who was still abusing him.
The soldier did not expect that the boy who was cowardly crying just now would attack him. He was caught off guard and was smashed on the head by the stool. The huge pain made him almost faint. The boy didn’t mean to let him go. Continue to cry, while roaring and smashing the soldier’s head.
Once, twice, three times… until the soldier completely fainted, flowers bloomed on his head, and the blood didn’t stop, or the boy’s mother reacted and jumped up and hugged the boy, and he finally let go. The broken stool, slumped on the ground limply.
The boy stared blankly at the body of the soldier whose life and death were uncertain, he swallowed, and wanted to get up from the ground to check the soldier’s condition, but his mother hugged him tightly, and he seemed to be covering his entire body. All his strength was used in the resistance just now, so he tried to move several times, but was unable to get up from the ground.
At this moment, there was a burst of intense gunshots outside. At the moment when the gunshots sounded, the natural fear of the rifle in the heart made the boy and his mother hug each other tightly, shivering.
If they walked to the window and looked down at this time, they could see that the Imperial soldiers who had advanced here were attacked by the Enjun soldiers hiding in the building. In response, they aimed their guns at the buildings on both sides and fired a volley towards those windows. Many soldiers of the Enjun army who were hiding behind the windows were shot and killed.
While they were shooting, some soldiers in the team also left the queue under the cover of teammates’ firepower and ran towards the buildings. They kicked open the closed gates, rushed into the buildings, and broke doors from house to house. Enter to clear out the Enjun soldiers hiding in the building.
The door of the room where the boy and his mother were located was kicked open by the imperial soldier. After the soldier rushed in, he looked at the civilians who were hugging each other tightly, and the soldiers of the enlisted army who lay with their heads beside him were stunned. , but when he saw the blood splattered on the boy and the stool that was nearly falling apart on the ground, he understood everything.
After that, the soldier stepped forward to check the situation of the Enjun soldier whose life and death were unknown, and found that the latter still had a faint breath. He glanced at the shivering civilian hiding beside him, and gestured for the latter to stay away. , then raised his rifle and stabbed the bayonet into the chest of the Enjun soldier.
…
On the other hand, the Enkelan army, which was attacked by civilians, also quickly responded after a brief chaos, gradually stabilizing its position, and fired back at the riotous mob.
The mob fought the enemy with passion and impulsiveness. Except for a few veterans who retired from the army, most of them were rabble who had not undergone military training. In other words, letting them fight against the wind was like a tiger attacking. It was only a matter of time before the Enklan army reacted.
And this is indeed the case. After the Enklan army stabilized its position and fought back, the rabble who launched the attack were quickly repelled. The Enklan army only needed a few rounds of salvos to kill the mob and wound dozens of people. , the morale of the latter will begin to falter.
Fortunately, the imperial agents did not have much expectations for these rabble. They only hoped that the thugs could divert the attention of the Enkelan army and help the imperial army attacking from the front.
However, it turned out that the help of the rabble to the battle was minimal, and the Enkelan army easily solved this small trouble in the rear, and then turned to resist the advance of the imperial army.
In fact, the three-way army of the Imperial Army was able to penetrate the defense line of the Enkelan army without the need for agents to make trouble behind.
Under the superior strength of the twelve divisions invested by the imperial army, the defenders were retreating steadily, with heavy casualties, and deserters continued to appear on their way to retreat. In this case, even the most basic soldiers could It can be seen that their general situation is over, instead of continuing to resist and giving away their lives in vain, it is better to take off their military uniforms and infiltrate the complicated urban area, and find an opportunity to return to their hometown after the war.
While the Enklan army was in retreat, UU read www. The members of the uukanshu.com National Parliament also took their families and fled frantically towards the only port they could leave. Their number was so large that the main road entering and leaving the port was blocked by carriages.
At this time, no matter whether it is an honorable member of parliament or a rich man with a big belly, they disregard their image and get out of the carriage, cursing wildly at those who block them in front of them, and even some people fight, making the already blocked roads even more Get congested.
In addition to those who want to flee, the ruffian gangsters who usually hang around the streets are also taking advantage of this time to fish in troubled waters. They armed with weapons, forcibly kicked open the doors of the civilians and robbed them of their belongings.
The closed store doors on the street were not spared, or rather, those stores were the main targets. The gangsters used violence to break open the store doors, broke into the empty room, and carried out the enclave. The once-in-a-century zero-yuan purchase, after looting the store’s goods, some of them crazy people even set fire to it.
Once the fire was ignited, it spread quickly. In a short time, the entire store was turned into a sea of fire. The spreading fire even ignited the surrounding buildings. The black smoke from the combustion rose slowly, occupying most of the sky. The whole city of Enkrans is like the end of the world.
