Chapter 122: canal city

On a vast grassland, a group of black and white cows are eating with their heads down, the fresh green grass on the ground.

moo

Around the herd were a dozen strong men sitting on horses, holding a leash in their hands and carrying bows and arrows on their backs.

They dress like hunters, but in fact they are just a group of farmers who raise cows in captivity and produce dairy products. In order to prevent the grass roots of the pasture from being eaten by the cows, they need to take the herd to eat grass elsewhere every other month.

At the same time, the reason why they dress like this is that the world is too messy. If you don't arm yourself. On the second day, the cows that I depend on for a living are likely to be snatched away by others.

The sun was high in the sky, obscured by a thin leaf-like cloud. The breeze blew gently, causing countless grasses to bow their heads.

moo

The cows croaked cheerfully, and there were some melodious chirping of birds in the sky. Looking at this beautiful grassland and listening to the sounds of animals around, this scene is so peaceful.

But the men riding on the horses didn't feel auspicious at all, and everyone's heart was very depressed now. This increasingly dark society has overwhelmed them until they can't breathe.

"It's too much! Those ugly businessmen are actually lowering the price of our dairy products. Now we can't guarantee the money we get from the milk and cheese we sell! We can't even guarantee two meals a day!" a farmer complained angrily .

A few years ago, the production of various dairy products could easily satisfy the food and clothing of the family, even reaching the level of three meals a day. Now, because the so-called United Chamber of Commerce in the city has begun to deliberately lower the purchase price of dairy products, the money from the sale of dairy products has not even been able to solve the problem of food and clothing.

It's not that they didn't think about selling to other people, but the United Chamber of Commerce wooed all the merchants so that they couldn't find anyone to sell. Even the restaurants that usually buy cheese from them have stopped buying dairy products from them due to pressure from the United Chamber of Commerce.

"Yes, those businessmen with fat heads, big ears and fat like a pig are too greedy. I think they want us to provide them with free dairy products before giving up!" said a companion closest to him.

"Oh, how is this world going?"

At this time, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a vicissitudes face came over on a horse and said, "Okay, don't complain, at least we still have something to eat now, so we won't starve to death."

"Now there's a famine in the city, and people are even starting to starve to death."

Hearing this, the others fell silent.

Their Grand Canal Plain is the food production area of ​​the entire empire. Now there are no so-called natural and man-made disasters here, and even this year can be said to be good weather. There has never been a single drought or flood, not even the more serious insect disasters in the past.

This year was a bumper year, but absurdly some people starved to death. On the Grand Canal Plain, known as the granary of the empire, some people starved to death in the most turbulent year in 10 years.

"I heard that the village of Tel in the forest on the edge of the plain has turned upside down," said a blond-haired man.

"The most important thing is that it is said that the City Guards who went to crusade a few days ago actually escaped in embarrassment."

"What's the fuss about? That village also makes a living by hunting dangerous species." A man showed a disdainful smile, "Just relying on those soldiers who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, how can they be hunted by dangerous species hunters? If they take off that shell, they can't even beat me."

"Okay! Don't discuss this matter anymore, this is not something we should discuss, nor can we discuss it." The middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes scolded.

"I know what you're thinking, but the real power of the empire is the frontier army, the army of General Esdes. This is my advice to you, don't think about rebelling against the empire, the power of the empire is more than just the surface."

Swish!

As soon as this time arrived, a huge black crack suddenly appeared in the grassland. At the moment when this black crack appeared, it seemed that the whole world went dark.

"Hey! That... what is that?!" A man pointed at the space portal in horror.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at a huge black crack that was dozens of times higher than the city wall!

"What the **** is this!?"

"Is this the legendary super dangerous species!"

This black crack that suddenly appeared exuded an aura that devoured everything, the light around it dimmed a little, and the breeze that had been blowing on the grassland disappeared without a trace. A great will that ordinary people can't feel poked out from it, examining this brand new world.

In the sky above the space crack, dark clouds suddenly covered, violent energy began to gather, and black lightning shuttled between the dark clouds. Then the dark cloud began to slowly turn into a huge vortex in the center of the vortex, and the center of the vortex exudes an aura that destroys everything.

Faced with this situation, the great will that came out of the space crack began to retract the space crack, and no longer continued to examine this new world.

Although the huge vortex in the sky did not dissipate, the terrifying energy gradually disappeared.

All the creatures around the space crack, the heart beats wildly, and an inexplicable feeling of panic flooded into the heart.

A dozen peasants on horses opened their mouths and looked at this black crack that was dozens or hundreds of times higher than the city wall. From the shock just now, it gradually changed to fear, fear of the unknown, and fear of huge objects.

At the same time, the huge vortex in the sky added an inexplicable sense of oppression to this space crack.

The herd of cows that were grazing happily just now began to be restless and let out a terrified cow bark. And the birds that were still playing in the sky just now have disappeared without a trace.

moo

All creatures are born with more or less phobia of giants, so strange, such a huge black crack is very oppressive.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, a strange roar sounded, and Snapdragon main battle tanks slowly emerged from the portal. A heavily armed soldier in camouflage and a tactical helmet stands on a machine gun stand.

At this time, the eyes of all the soldiers were full of indifference and iron blood, and they were ready to become an executioner.

The tank roared, and the huge body weighing dozens of tons ran over the green lawn, leaving a deep trace.

Seeing this group of steel monsters coming out of the portal, the peasants were even more stunned. At this time, they didn't know what language to use or how to respond to all this.

Whether it is the huge vortex in the sky or this mysterious crack that is dozens of times higher than the city wall, in the end, these people are sitting on steel monsters. All of this broke through their common sense, and everyone felt that their worldview was completely broken in just a few seconds.

Everyone stared blankly at the steel monsters that were constantly pouring out of the teleportation gate in the distance. Even though a few of them had recovered, they did not dare to take any action. Because they were afraid that their movements would attract the attention of these steel monsters.

After seeing the group of steel monsters, the herds panicked completely, and they let out a terrified cry and started to flee back.

And this action of the herd instantly made all farmers come back to their senses. The farmers looked at each other, and then everyone turned their attention to the leading man who was full of vicissitudes.

The man looked at the steel monsters that kept pouring out in the distance. These steel monsters have not turned their heads so far, and looked at them once. At the same time, he also noticed the Dongxia soldiers standing in the tank machine gun position.

When he was an imperial soldier three years ago, he had seen this kind of steel weapon when he was fighting the eastward expeditionary army of the western countries, known as the Million Hero Army, on the western frontier of the empire. The expeditionary forces of the Western countries have steel weapons with roughly the same shape. I heard that the Western countries call this weapon a bucket.

It's just the steel weapons of the Western countries, only half the size of the steel monsters in front of him, and at the same time the shape is like a forcibly pieced together tattered iron. And these steel monsters in front of him gave him a sense of oppression, full of violent beauty.

At this time, the tank troop as the leading troop also noticed the group of peasants on horses in the distance, and some soldiers turned their heads and glanced at them.

Gudong!

Meeting the eyes of these soldiers, everyone's inner mood subconsciously looked away. Even the vicissitudes man who had been on the battlefield and killed many people looked away.

What the **** is going on here? ! First this mysterious crack, and then this crack you drilled out a group of soldiers driving steel monsters!

The hands of the middle-aged man began to tremble unconsciously. The aura of these soldiers reminded him of the First Army under General Esders.

Powerful, indifferent, iron-blooded.

Although these armies did not have the madness of the First Army, for some reason, this army gave him a stronger sense of oppression than the First Army.

At the same time, after everyone saw the Dongxia soldiers, they were shocked by the iron-blooded aura emanating from these soldiers.

The man with the vicissitudes of life gritted his teeth and said, "Chase!"

Afterwards, he controlled the horse, which was already somewhat frightened, with difficulty, and turned his head to drive towards the galloping cattle behind. Under his leadership, the other farmers also took courage and drove their horses to chase the cows.

They don't know what these steel monsters are, but at least they didn't attack them. Farmers care more about their cows than figuring out what's going on. They don't know how this group of steel monsters will change the world, but they at least know that if they lose their cows, they and their families will starve to death.

For the actions of this group of peasants, the Third Corps paid no attention to the actions of these peasants, and was not worried at all that these peasants would return to the city to inform the army in the city. Even if this group of peasants announced the information of the Third Army to all the countries in this world within one day, they would not care at all.

Whether or not these nations knew about the arrival of their Third Legion, the result was the same. All nations will be crushed under the steel torrent of their Third Legion.

Destroy you, what does it have to do with you?

Tanks, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, mechanized infantry, military trucks, one after another began to enter the world through portals.

Ten minutes later, the third army completely entered the world of Scarlet Crimson Eyes.

Then the huge steel torrent began to disperse into 5 troops moving fast in different directions.

Their task is to occupy the entire Grand Canal Plain within three hours, and the first step of the occupation plan is to take the lead in controlling the five major cities of the Grand Canal Plain.

Then take these 5 cities as the center, and then send a small group of troops to occupy all the nearby towns, so as to control the entire Grand Canal Plain.

At the same time, within two days, the engineers built a large signal tower in these five cities, and initially established a communication system.

Build a runway within 10 days, at least enough for bombers to take off and land.

With the help of earth magic, the already terrifying infrastructure capabilities of the Eastern Xia Empire have become even more frenzied.

Now for them, building a large aircraft such as a man-made bomber in 10 days, taking off and landing on the airstrip is simply a breeze. As long as they are equipped with two great earth magicians, the engineering corps can confidently build a standard air force base within 10 days.

Of course, this terrifying speed also has a price, and this price is very cruel, and that is hair.

 …

The Grand Canal, which runs through the entire Canal Plain, where the branches of the rivers meet is a majestic and huge city, and countless merchant ships dock at the port of this huge city.

Like ants, porters on the docks carried heavy goods one by one, getting off or loading the merchant ships.

The River Canal City, located in the center of the Grand Canal, is the transportation hub of the entire Grand Canal. As a result, commerce was extremely prosperous, and countless merchant ships came and went every day, transporting all kinds of materials to the entire empire.

At the same time, it is also the most fertile place in the entire Canal Plain, and the grain production here accounts for 30% of the total annual output of the "Imperial Granary".

On the other side of Canal City is a golden wheat field. The wheat field is so vast that the edge cannot be seen at a glance.

Every wheat field was guarded by a swarthy, emaciated peasant in sackcloth and sackcloth. This is mainly because there is a kind of bird near Canal City called the wheat-eating bird. This bird is smaller than other birds, generally only **** wide. But the numbers are extremely large, and they exclusively feed on wheat.

Whenever the wheat is about to mature, it will appear in groups and sack the wheat fields like locusts. If there is no one to guard, the whole wheat field will be pecked clean by them within two days.

Looking at the golden wheat field and the fruitful wheat, every farmer sighs that this year is a bumper harvest year. If it was before, looking at the small fruits, every farmer would have a bright and simple smile on his face. But now not a single farmer smiles, everyone's expressions are only numb, and their eyes are full of despair.

In recent years, the tax has become more and more serious, making them more and more difficult for the bottom people. Until today, paying taxes has become 90% of the total food they produce. With this level of taxation, after paying the tax, the food left over is simply not enough for their family to eat, and even food and clothing have become a problem.

Boom boom boom boom!

At this moment, there were bursts of roaring sounds in the distance. Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the sound, and saw rows of steel monsters appearing on the horizon.

The steel torrent composed of Snapdragon main battle tanks, armored vehicles, and military trucks ran over this golden wheat field.

da da da da...

In the sky, the Falcon gunships began to speed up, crossed the steel torrent below, and flew towards the giant city ahead.

[The mission begins, clear all the armed forces on the walls of Canal City. 】

The peasants guarding the wheat fields watched in the distance, the torrent of steel approaching them at an unhurried speed, and everyone was so frightened that they lost their thoughts.

"What the **** is this?!" Some farmers were so frightened that their legs went weak and they slumped on the ground.

"Dangerous Species Wave!"

"Everyone, run! It's safe to go back to the Canal City now!" A peasant came to his senses, then turned and ran towards the Canal City.

As the first person escaped, the others also came back to their senses, turning around and crawling towards the Canal City behind.

On the city wall of Canal City, the city defense army also noticed the steel torrent in the distance. All the soldiers in armor were so frightened that their legs became weak, and the weapons in their hands were a little unsteady.

"Monsters! There are monsters!"

"Dangerous species, what should I do? We can't resist such a number of dangerous species!"

"Isn't that too much!? Could this be the legendary tide of dangerous species? Haven't all the dangerous species' nests in the empire been cleaned up by the empire hundreds of years ago!?"

"Just kidding, this is a canal, a plain, an imperial granary! Why are there so many dangerous species? Could it be that the frontier has been breached!"

All the soldiers were a little overwhelmed by the overwhelming steel torrent, and even now a minute has passed, and the soldiers in charge of ringing the bell are not ringing the alert.

If they behave like this in the frontier army, they can be dealt with directly by military law, and they will be executed immediately. However, in the strict sense, they are not the army, but a group of officials and security guards of the nobles. It's okay to let them bully the civilians, but if they go to war, they may not even be able to beat the bandits.

"Hurry up and ring the alarm bell!" a veteran soldier who came down from the battlefield roared.

These **** were so arrogant when they bullied the poor at ordinary times. They had a big and big attitude, and now they turned into soft-footed shrimps when they were in danger.

After being yelled at by the old soldier, the soldier in charge of ringing the bell immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly rang the huge warning bell next to him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The low sound of the bell quickly spread throughout the entire Canal City, and everyone in the Canal City subconsciously raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound of the bell.

Look at the gunship troop that flew towards them first, and look at the torrent of steel in the sky. All the soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but take a step back, some of them were less timid, and even their weapons were unsteady.

"Archers! Shoot arrows, don't let them get close to the city wall!" the veteran ordered.

An archer who also came down from the battlefield scolded his fellow archers around him: "Hurry up and aim! What are you doing stupidly? Waiting to die?! Take out the momentum that you usually bully the civilians, don't be here. Like a **** with me!"

The veterans, who were usually silent, quickly commanded their companions. The originally panicked city defense army quickly restored order under their command, and everyone began to prepare various city defense equipment.

At the city gate, the fat city gate chief waved his greasy hands and jumped up and down to instruct the soldiers: "Hurry up and close the city gate for Lao Tzu!"

"But there are still people who haven't come in." A soldier hesitated.

The fat Chen Weichang glared at the soldier and said with a grim expression: "I told you to close the door. Those are just a bunch of pariahs and they died. Now hurry up and close the door for me! Close the door!"

Facing the surging head, the soldiers gritted their teeth and pushed the heavy city gate to close slowly. The peasants who were running towards this side in the distance saw this scene, and their eyes suddenly filled with despair.

Although the hearts of all the peasants were full of despair, they still ran towards the city gates with perseverance, because they hoped that the city defense troops would find their conscience and let them in.

The peasants outside came to the city wall and kept beating the city wall. At this time, they were already full of despair.

Clap clap clap!

The peasants slapped on the huge gates and cried in despair: "Please, let us in!"

At this time, the Falcon armed helicopter force has come to a place 200 meters away from Canal City.

The pilot of the Falcon gunship adjusted his muzzle, aiming at the soldiers in armor on the city wall, and the Gatling machine gun on the Falcon gunship raised its muzzle.

【Fire! 】

With the order down, all the gunship pilots pressed the fire button.

Da da da da da!

The Gatling machine gun turned frantically, the Falcon gunships fired at the same time, and countless bullets poured out, forming a fire network and flying towards the soldiers on the city wall.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!

The soldiers on the city wall were instantly torn apart by countless bullets, and the soldiers' mourning sounded on the city wall. Blood splattered, stumps, and minced meat covered the entire city wall, and the city wall was instantly dyed red.

"Help!"

"Ah, ah, ah!" A soldier lay on the ground and wailed in pain, tears streaming down his eyes full of fear. At this time, his hands and feet were shattered by bullets, and a large amount of blood continued to flow from the wound.

shhhhhh!

The next moment, a string of bullets fell from the sky, shattering his head, splashing red and white all around, and his wailing stopped abruptly.

"You monsters!" An archer pulled his hard bow, "Go to hell!"

call out!

A bow and arrow flew and hit the special glass of the gunship.

when!

The bow and arrow were bounced off instantly without leaving a trace, and the archer looked at this scene with a dull expression.

"is that a lie!"

His attack succeeded in attracting the pilot's attention, the gunship turned its head, and the huge Gatling gun began to roll.

shhhhhhhh!

Dozens of bullets instantly tore the archer's body into countless pieces, and another life died.

The gunship units began to strafed around the four walls, killing every soldier standing on the wall. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Run away!"

"This is a monster!"

Some of the soldiers fought back desperately, some fled with their heads in their hands, and some knelt on the ground and looked desperately at the steel torrent in the sky.

Yet all they did was in vain, no matter how much they roared and fled. There was only one final result, the body being torn apart by bullets. This is not a fight, this is a one-sided slaughter.

The mourning of the city defense army spread to the Canal City, and all the residents looked in horror at the steel monsters flying in the sky and the blood that kept splashing on the city walls.

"There are dangerous species! Run away!"

"Dangerous species have attacked the city!"

"This is Canal City, the interior of the empire! Why are there so many flying danger species!"

The Canal City was also in chaos, and some timid people screamed in horror and fled everywhere. And their behavior also detonated the fear of the people around them.

Everyone started to flee. They didn't know where to flee, but everyone around them was fleeing, and they ran around unknowingly.

At this moment, the entire Canal City was in complete chaos, and there were screams of horror everywhere. Before the Eastern Xia Empire's army launched any attack on any city, nearly 100 people had already died in the stampede accident in Canal City, and most of these people were weak children.

The Dongxia soldiers who were driving the Falcon gunship at high altitude finally stopped shooting. At this time, the four walls of Canal City were covered with bullet holes, corpses covered the entire city wall, and the bright red blood dyed the city wall red.

In just three minutes, thousands of city guards slaughtered for the Falcon gunship unit, and the soldiers of the Falcon gunship unit also had blood on their hands at this moment.

It was a one-sided massacre.
