C935 A Kind City Lord
The second round of attacks from the Red Scarf Gang was once again defeated under Yang Xuan's command!
However, the Green Hat Gang had learned their lesson this time. After they won, they no longer cheered and cheered like before, and they became living targets for the enemy's snipers.
All of them quickly hid behind the city wall with their heads lowered. Their faces were filled with excitement. "Commander, what should we do next?"
At this moment, Yang Xuan had established absolute authority among them.
They had never heard of the tactics that Yang Xuan had arranged. Even they themselves had not expected that they would be able to unleash such powerful combat strength!
Yang Xuan let out a light breath. Only he himself understood that although the battle just now was pretty, it contained a lot of danger.
The Red Scarf Gang had too many people, and they had a much higher equipment advantage than the Red Scarf Gang.
Yang Xuan's tactics could only win for a while. With the combat power of the Green Scarf Gang, he did not have full confidence that he could continue to defend against the Red Scarf Gang's continuous attacks.
"Have you prepared the things I need?"
Yang Xuan asked the robust man.
The strong man took out his walkie-talkie and said a few words to Yang Xuan, "They are all ready. They are on the way here."
After a while, the escort team hurried over with their things.
These transport teams were made up of ordinary residents in the city. There were women, children, and old people in them.
What surprised Yang Xuan was that the person in charge of escorting them was actually the city lord with long white curly hair!
However, the robust man and the other green hat mercenaries did not show any surprise. It seemed that they were used to this.
The robust man saw Yang Xuan and the green peony's puzzled expressions and explained, "Our leader was actually not a mercenary in the past, he was just a businessman."
"One time when we passed by here, we saw a group of mercenaries killing the innocent. The leader was soft-hearted and used money to buy the captives from the mercenaries to save their lives."
"After the captives got their freedom, they knelt on the ground and begged the leader to take them in. They said they had no home and no place to go. If the leader did not take them in, they would die sooner or later."
"The leader could not bear to leave them. He built a refugee camp here, which was the predecessor of this city. He used it to take care of these people."
"Later, more and more refugees found out about this and came here to seek help from the leader."
"The leader took them in and brought them to reclaim wasteland to engage in production."
"Then, this place slowly became prosperous and gradually formed a peaceful and happy village."
"But good times don't last long. Seeing that the residents here are getting better and better day by day, with food and meat, some mercenaries with ulterior motives started to think about them."
"One night, a group of mercenaries came in to forcefully collect grain. They shot those who dared to resist to death."
"In order to protect everyone's lives, the leader let that group of mercenaries rob all the food and valuables in the village."
"They worked so hard for so many years, but in one night, they returned to their original form."
"From then on, the leader understood one thing. If you want to survive in this chaotic world, you need to have your own armed forces."
"So he took out his life savings and started to buy weapons and equipment to arm all the men in the village"
"Then he built the city, recruited soldiers, and slowly became what he is today"
"Our leader is a kind person, he built the armed forces not to bully others, but to protect himself"
"So he didn't invest too much money and energy in this area, but used most of his energy and resources to improve the quality of life of the residents"
"But it was also because of his kindness, he put too much effort into training the soldiers, which caused the armed forces to be seriously lacking in combat power"
"All these years, he only relied on this firm city to fend off foreign enemies again and again"
"Every time a war breaks out, the leader will lead the entire city's residents to provide logistical support for the armed forces, everyone is used to this"
Yang Xuan looked at the leader who was currently commanding the people to assemble the supplies. He was so tired that he was panting. He couldn't help but reevaluate this white-haired, curly-haired old man.
It turned out that there was such a clean spring in this place where the strong prey on the weak and the bloody war raged.
"Mr. Yang, on behalf of all the residents in the city, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!"
The leader respectfully covered his chest with one hand and bowed to Yang Xuan. "If it wasn't for you, our residents would have been finished."
"I apologize for my rude behavior before. I hope you can forgive me."
Yang Xuan quickly raised his hand and said, "Elder, you don't have to be polite. I have heard about your matter from them. This is what I should do."
Yang Xuan's heart was full of respect for this kind and selfless old man in front of him.
"Old man, now is not the time to talk about this. The enemy is going to attack soon. Quickly bring the residents to a safe place to hide, so as to avoid accidentally injuring them."
Yang Xuan said.
"No."
The leader said stubbornly, "My soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the city wall. As the leader, how can I be a coward?"
"Although I am weak, I can stand here and live and die with them. As long as I am here and the soldiers can see me, they will be filled with faith and strength!"
Yang Xuan looked at the stubborn old man in front of him and nodded in admiration. Then, he started to command the equipment he designed.
In fact, there were only two types of equipment. The first was similar to the ancient trebuchets, which used leverage to throw stones or other objects far away.
"This is your catapult position. Listen to my orders later. When I give the order to open fire, you can start. Without my order, do not act on your own!"
Yang Xuan gave the order.
"Yes, understood!"
A group of mercenaries in charge of controlling the catapults replied.
Yang Xuan then walked to the top of the city wall and ordered the mercenaries to open up bamboo pipes from the watchtower.
Behind these bamboo tubes were large tanks filled with oil. A simple compressor was installed on the side of the bamboo tubes, which could quickly compress the oil inside.
After everything was arranged, Yang Xuan ordered the mercenaries to wait and prepare for the third round of attack from the enemy.
About ten minutes later, a green signal bullet slowly rose into the air. Like a wild beast, the red scarf once again rushed over like a wild beast.
"Listen up!"
Yang Xuan ordered loudly, "The attack this time is a feint. It symbolizes a few shots. Don't shoot too hard."
"We need to create a false impression that our ammunition is seriously insufficient and that our fighting will is severely weakened."
"The goal is to attract all of them to the bottom of the city wall. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"0
The mercenaries answered together.
