Chapter 269
"Since His Majesty the King of the Principality of Antarctica does not want to surrender, we should give such a decent way to die and order the troops to attack the city normally. I want to fight quickly!" Arcado received a telegram from General Gavin and gave the order to the summoner.
On the outskirts of the distant city of Yalan, in a hidden sentry post, Gavin received an order from Arcado and picked up his telescope to look at the city of Yalan.
The whole city of Yalan was still bathed in the morning sun, and the soldiers patrolled their defense lines and prepared for the attack of the soldiers of the Principality of Shengjian.
This place has been surrounded for two days. In the past two days, the Principality of Sword has not organized an attack. Maybe it is worried about hurting civilians, or maybe it has found that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Order the troops to prepare for attack, extend artillery fire, don't worry about civilian casualties, and fight quickly!" Gavin faithfully carried out Arcado's orders.
"Adjust shooting height! All artillery is ready to attack! Each gun has 3 bullets and fires three times! Prepare for the first shot!" On the artillery position, the officers' solemn shouts echoed in the air, and everyone was adjusting their artillery.
"Ready! Open fire!" With an order, countless artillery pieces roared together, and thousands of shells flew to Yalan City with harsh sounds.
With no warning, the defenders and civilians in Yalan suffered a disaster. Most of the defenders are still washing their faces or walking, and civilians on the streets are visiting the morning market. Nothing is like a war.
However, the war still happened. All kinds of magic bullets penetrated the roof of the house, destroyed the roof of the house without much effort, easily passed through the tile or straw roof, and then exploded in the room, knocking down one house after another.
Fires were ignited everywhere, and the scene of fire rushing to the sky can be seen in broad daylight. Thick smoke covered the clouds and the sun. The civilians who fled everywhere collided with the troops hiding everywhere and turned into a mess. Finally, they were taken away by the explosion and turned into lonely ghosts.
All the defenders of the Antarctic Principality were dumbfounded. Their expected persuasion did not happen, and their guessing shouts did not appear. As soon as they came up, they shrank under the table and waited to be wiped out by the explosion.
The defenders of the Antarctic Principality thought with hatred in their hearts: These bastards! Do you have any gentlemanly manners? Is it okay to type twice? You fired two shots and came to persuade us. We surrendered twice, so that everyone's face is full. Now you come up and start fighting. It's really un morality! Can't we take the initiative to hang the white flag and surrender?
But before giving these people a chance to complain, a large number of tanks and armored vehicles appeared in the position of the Principality of Sword. These steel monsters covered countless soldiers jumping out of the trench and rushed to Yalan City.
The soldiers held their shields high, shouted the slogan of the Long Live of the Holy Sword, and approached the wall of Yalan step by step. The tanks opened fire at the wall, and the fierce artillery easily tore the wall defense magic array. In less than a quarter of an hour, a section of the wall began to collapse, and with the bodies of countless soldiers and living people fell to The ground.
A sea of black armor and shields rushed up, crossed the walls that had been razed into mounds and poured into the city of Yalan.
It was not until this time that the magic cannon in the distance stopped suppressing and shooting in the city, and the noisy battlefield became slightly quieter.
As soon as the bombed defenders of the Antarctic Principality climbed out of the ruins and corners, before they could distinguish between the southeast and northwest, they were pierced through their chest by powerful crossbows and nailed to the wall behind them. The wounded soldier who fell to the ground and struggled to moan were trampled by tens of millions of leather boots, and there was no pain.
Dozens of long guns together, the soldiers of the Antarctic Principality who wanted to resist nearby raised high, and then threw their intestines aside, allowing them to shed the last drop of blood there.
"Don't, don't kill! We surrender!" A voice howled, and the owner of the voice raised his hands high and knelt down on the roadside. Hundreds of soldiers behind them knelt in the same way. They gave up the dignity of soldiers and only asked to survive the one-sided killing.
Because only issued the order to attack the city and had no intention of slaughtering the city, the army of the Duchy of Shengjian still accepted all kinds of surrenders. However, in front of such an efficient killing machine, many people lost the opportunity to surrender forever after only a second of slowing down.
It was an officer of the Holy Sword Duchy who took over these surrendered soldiers. He stood there as if he was watching a group of poor lambs. The Holy Sword duchy lacked slaves to build a long road and railway system. This battle undoubtedly added more than 100,000 fresh blood to the army of construction slaves in the duchy of Holy Sword.
However, compared with death, paving the road is simply a good job. After a start, the army of the Principality of Antarctica can no longer stop the trend of surrendering. Hundreds of soldiers poured out of private houses or temporary stations and knelt on both sides of the road waiting for the victory to be collected.
A few people who stubbornly resisted originally wanted to rely on their houses to resist, but soon waited for the artillery fire of tanks and mortar attacks.
Or a large group of well-equipped black helmeted heavy infantrymen kicked open the door, randomly put a burst of crossbows inside, and then rushed in to cut melons and vegetables to harvest those stubborn elements who fell to the ground and hum.
When the soldiers of the Principality of the Holy Sword finally rushed to the King's Palace in the center of Yalan, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. The ruins were full of corpses, which did not look like the prosperity of the past.
A gray-headed officer surrendered to the soldiers of the attacking Holy Sword Principality and handed over the poor king of the crippled duchy of Antarctica.
His Majesty the King of the Principality of Antarctica, who insisted on hiding in his palace, was buried under the collapsed palace in the morning fire. It has not been dug out by his men. The poor king's legs have been broken, thrown under a ruin, and he is still unconscious on a sheet.
The soldiers of the Holy Sword Principality did not care about his identity as king. Several people threw the abandoned man and several maids into the truck and drove all the way to the city of Bayar, where Arcado was located.
The offensive and defensive battle of the capital of the Principality of Antarctica is still going on at this moment, and the defenders in several urban areas that have gradually recovered and the soldiers of the Principality of St. Sword have launched a fierce street battle.
Until the next night, the city could occasionally hear the attack of mortars and the screams of soldiers fighting.
After several years of intelligence preparation, the intelligence personnel of Rome Island have prepared detailed maps of major cities in the southern city-states through merchants, spies and other means. The level of detail has reached an amazing level. Although the shelling cannot guarantee that all firepower is aimed at the military. Facilities, but most of the houses have been completely preserved.
On October 29 of the Gregorian calendar, the Principality of Antarctica fell. Although the national resistance has not stopped, the Principality of Antarctica has died in name only on this day.
