Chapter 279: 279 Chaos Headquarters
Chapter 279 Chapter 279 The Headquarters of the Chaos
While everyone was still investigating what happened, gunshots were heard outside the headquarters. Everyone ran away in embarrassment. The neighing of war horses and the distant sound of cannons made everyone just run away backwards.
"What's going on?" The leading general of the Gemelin Kingdom heard the noise and rushed out of his headquarters with his guards.
This is a manor in a small town that used to belong to a small landowner and is now commandeered as the general headquarters of the Gemelin Kingdom's troops.
There were carriages parked everywhere in the town, countless horses, and a large number of servants to take care of the horses.
The security force was in chaos, because outside the town, the enemy's gunfire was intertwined with our own gunfire, and it was obvious that the two sides had started fighting.
On the roads in the town, there were some carriages mixed in from time to time among the signal soldiers who were leading their war horses in a panic and retreating.
"Sir! The enemy has broken through the defense line! It's already here!" An officer hurried past with a few guards, pointing to the distance and shouting to the general who had just walked to the door.
“Hurry! Hurry!” A soldier wanted to restrain the war horse he was holding and tried hard to hold the reins. But after he finally stabilized his horse, a cannonball fell just inside the town.
"Boom!" The huge explosion blew off the roof of the stable over there, and seven or eight horses fell to the ground. The remaining horses broke free and rushed into the crowd running everywhere.
There is no way. This is the general headquarters of the entire Gmelin Kingdom's offensive forces. In the headquarters without advanced equipment such as telegraph machines, the most numerous are cavalry and horse-mounted communications troops.
Nearly all orders rely on war horses and messengers to deliver them, so it is not surprising that there are a large number of horses here.
Of course, in addition to horses, there are countless non-combatants here, such as the head of the Cyric Consortium who came here to watch the battle.
In addition, there are chefs who cook for the staff of the headquarters, documents that are specially used to write records, and many female relatives that noble officers take with them in violation of military discipline...
And these people are actually far from being a burden.
Because the general headquarters of an army needs to carry a variety of things, including special carriages, carts for transporting various vegetables, and of course cattle, sheep, broilers and ducks...
A cannonball falls and hits these things, which can really be said to be a real disaster.
At this moment, what appeared in front of the general of the Gemelin Kingdom was such a scene that made people laugh and cry.
Just as he was looking angrily at his group of signal soldiers riding war horses and crashing into the chaotic crowd on the road, and escaping without looking back, a chicken actually flew past his eyes.
"What happened? Which side of the defense line was lost? Huh?" The general grabbed an escaping officer angrily and asked angrily.
"I, I don't know! The enemy is outside!" The officer originally wanted to pull out the pistol from his waist and kill the fool who blocked the road, but after seeing the general's face clearly, he swallowed his saliva and recovered a little. With some sense, he opened his mouth to explain.
The scene is so chaotic now, how does he know what is going on? The enemies have already reached here. If we don't run away now, are we still waiting for someone to come?
Seeing that the general who stopped him was stunned and didn't say anything, the officer shook off the hand holding him and ran to the east without looking back.
There is no way. That is the rear area, which is the direction of the Gemelin Kingdom. It is definitely right to escape in that direction.
"Stop! You! Go! Go to the left wing and see if there is something wrong with the position on the left wing!" Ignoring the fleeing officers, the general personally stopped an orderly who was about to escape and ordered loudly.
The messenger reined in the reins, then took the horse's head, bypassed the general's obstruction, and ran away without looking back.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Gemelin Kingdom realized that these signal soldiers basically ignored the tasks he assigned.
"You! Find a fast horse! Go to the left wing and have a look! Make sure the position there is still there! Quick!" The general looked back at the personal guards who were still following him and ordered.
He knew that at this time, only these close confidants who knew everything about the situation could do something more.
"Bang!" A gunshot was heard from a distant street corner, and a Gemelin soldier fell to the ground. He saw a soldier wearing a helmet he had never seen before, occupying a favorable terrain and leaning against the corner. , picked up the weapon in his hand.
"Bang!" Another gunshot came, and a soldier on the general's side fell down with a blood flower blooming from his chest. The remaining soldiers reacted as if they were electrocuted, and quickly surrounded the general and rushed towards a safer place. go.
"Leave me alone! Go and confirm...confirm..." The general wanted to break free from the pull of these guards, but was pulled back into the gate. "General! It's over! Let's retreat quickly!" The captain of the guard leaned against the door with his pistol and looked at the battle outside. The enemy soldier he had never seen before who had just fired at the street had disappeared at this moment. No trace.
He retracted his head, looked at his men and the somewhat confused general, and shouted loudly: "You! You! You two go find a carriage! Quick! We have to take the general out of here!"
Not far behind them, the person in charge of Cyric had just climbed out of the first-floor window with the help of a strong man covered in tattoos.
"Chumro! After I go back, I will definitely..." The person in charge of Cyric outside the window turned back gratefully and promised Chumro.
As a result, before he could finish his words, a bullet flew from nowhere and hit him in the head. The person in charge's brain burst and he fell down, and blood and brain matter sprayed Chumluo's face.
Chumro, who was startled, knew that this direction was also dangerous. He gritted his teeth, changed the window, climbed out of the window with difficulty, and ran towards the distance desperately.
Just when he was about to get into the nearby woods and escape successfully, a cannonball flew from nowhere and landed directly behind him.
"Boom!" After a loud noise, Chumluo's figure fell down... Soon, several remaining soldiers who fled in this direction passed the crater and saw the big man lying next to him.
Then they heard Chumro’s cry for help. He promised to pay the person who took him away a reward. The defeated soldiers thought about it for a moment, and then dragged Chumluo, who had broken a leg, into the nearby woods.
In the small town, there are more and more Northridge troops wearing M35 helmets. They occupied some high-rise buildings with nimble movements, and then began to suppress the panicked Gemelin troops on the roofs of these two-story buildings.
"Don't shoot! We surrender! Surrender!" A group of Gemelin soldiers huddled in the house threw their weapons out of the window and shouted loudly.
Soon, some Gemelin soldiers hiding in stables, some hiding behind carriages, and some hiding in buildings began to loudly beg for mercy and shouted for surrender.
The sound of counterattack gunfire suddenly became sparse, and all that was left were the pawns walking out of the room one after another with their hands raised high.
"General!" Seeing the soldiers outside dropping their weapons, the captain of the guard who was guarding the room looked helplessly at his commander: "What should we do?"
The men he sent to find the carriage did not come back, and they had no chance to break out. Now we either have to fight to the death in the room, or we have to go out and surrender honestly.
Of course, there are not many people in this room who want to fight to the end, because at least they will survive if they surrender, but they will lose nothing if they fight to the end.
"..." The general did not speak, but pulled up a chair and sat down. Then he raised his head and ordered to his captain of the bodyguard: "Go out, find their commander, and say...I...here, surrender to him."
"...Yes!" After hesitating for two seconds, the captain of the guard still did not have the courage to persuade the general to continue fighting. He nodded and left the revolver produced by the Cyric Consortium after going out.
He raised his hands high, then walked to the nearest soldier wearing an M35 helmet and said: "We surrender! I am the captain of the guard of the supreme commander here, and my commander is in the house in the manor. , he hopes that your officers will allow him to surrender honorably."
"Hey! Squad leader! Listen to this guy, there is a big official over there! Can you go over and take a look?" Holding the K3 rifle with a bayonet in his hand, the soldier turned his head and shouted at the top of his lungs. .
A squad leader carrying a lever rifle put one hand on the handle of the revolver at his waist and walked over on the bloodstains on the street: "What's going on? What are you shouting about?"
"He said there was a high official in the manor." The soldier pointed to the manor not far away, and then pointed to the captain of the guard who came to surrender, and said.
“Follow me!” The squad leader nodded to the manor in the distance with his chin and led the two of them back to the manor.
He cautiously asked the captain of the guard to open the door first. After seeing that everyone inside had thrown away their weapons, two soldiers from Beiling signaled that they could come out.
Of course, the Gemelin general did not wait for a decent surrender ceremony, because he had to hand over his weapons and was escorted back to the camp where the North Ridge troops were stationed.
Two days later, the troops of the Wright Kingdom basically eliminated the remaining defeated Gemelin troops who invaded the country, and pushed the battle line back to the original border area.
However, they did not stop. After a short rest, the North Ridge troops of the Kingdom of Wright and the main force of the Kingdom, totaling 10,000 people, crossed the border and entered the Kingdom of Gemelin.
