"I'm disappointed with Emperor Mirage! He doesn't care about the lives of hundreds of thousands of goblins who were slaves in the Tang Empire. Our interests and demands are irrelevant to him." Faced with the reporters' flash lights, Mirage Wenmao said Talk freely.
At this time, a martial artist like Mirage Martial Bear is of little use. This is the stage for his mirage and the battlefield for him to pursue his dreams.
"So! Mr. Mirage Wenmao! What do you think is the key to solving Mirage's crisis?" A reporter asked loudly, for fear that others would not know that he had a loud voice.
Mirage Wenmao smiled slightly, with a confident expression: "I believe that the most important thing the Mirage government should do now is to follow the footsteps of the Tang Empire, learn from the Datang Empire, and strive to seek welfare for the people."
"The Mirage Emperor should give up resistance, abdicate and make way for talents, fully cooperate with the Tang Empire in economic, trade, military and political aspects, and become the Tang Empire's most staunch ally. Only then can the people of Mirage Kingdom be reborn!" He spread his arms, Everyone present applauded, and warm applause filled the entire interview venue.
Outside the gate, countless goblin slaves carried various signs and flags, chanting slogans for the death of the Mirage Emperor and the downfall of the Mirage Emperor.
The policemen of the Tang Dynasty stood at the side of the team with their hands behind their backs, watching the farce with cold eyes. The reporters responsible for recording were holding cameras and video recorders, as if they were carrying a bunch of guns and cannons, and kept pressing the shutter at the crowd.
Seven or eight goblins at the front were pulling a huge banner with slogans asking the Mirage Emperor to stop resisting and let the people of Mirage Kingdom bathe in peace as soon as possible.
Behind this banner, there are a lot of signs, some with a burning mirage flag on them, and some with a picture of the mirage emperor, but with a huge bright red "X" on his face. .
Foreign reporters and some foreign envoys who were invited to attend the press conference listened to Mirage Wenmao's interview and speech, and listened to the shouts of the goblin demonstrations outside the door... They didn't know what it was like.
Behind the goblin team, there were also some civilians from the Tang Empire who came to support them. These civilians didn't know whether they came to join in the fun or to really support the goblins. They crowded together and walked on the spacious road, talking and laughing as if they were on an autumn outing.
The weather has turned cooler. If you don’t go out for a walk, it may be inconvenient to wear cotton-padded clothes.
On both sides of the ranks of people from the Tang Dynasty supporting the demonstration, the police from the Tang Empire seemed much busier. They have to maintain order, avoid stampedes, and constantly promote safety to maintain order at the scene...
Fortunately, everything was still under control today, and there were no riots. Everyone was very rational: the civilians of the Tang Empire were truly rational and had nothing to do with themselves, while the goblins had to stay rational.
Listening to the content of the interview on the radio, Haiping turned off the radio switch that was full of electric sound with a numb expression. The room suddenly became quiet, and everything became silent again.
The roar of cannons could be faintly heard in the distance, which proved that the enemy's attack was not far from the underground bunker where Mirage was located.
The resistance in the central fortification zone is still very tenacious, and the orc troops seem to be working hard to remove the enemy's nail in the rear.
The orcs invested a lot of troops here. They cleared the mirages from cave to cave, but the process was quite slow.
Because of the short stature of the goblins, the caves and tunnels here are generally relatively low, and the movement of the orc troops is restricted and cannot be used at all.
This brought great difficulties to the orcs' attack. They went deep into the cave and were forced to fight the goblins in a small space. The losses were once very huge.
But then they got some new weapons from the Tang Empire, which immediately turned the tide of the war: the Tang Empire provided these orcs with several interesting new weapons, which later became a nightmare for the soldiers of the Mirage Kingdom.
One of the weapons is called a flamethrower. This weapon can be described as cruel to the goblins in the bunkers and tunnels.
As long as the mirage's firepower is discovered, the orc troops will call in their flamethrower troops and shoot holes at the machine guns and the like.
A pillar of fire more than ten meters long would rush into the bunker through the cracks and holes, raging inside and igniting everything inside.
Because this thing is completely ignited fuel that is sprayed out, the Mirage soldiers contaminated by the fuel have no way to extinguish the flames on themselves.
They rolled on the ground and rushed out of the bunker in hopes of getting help, but all this was doomed to be in vain. They'll be severely burned within seconds, and then nothing can be done to save them.
The whole process was very painful, and the surrounding Mirage soldiers could even see the ignited friendly soldiers walking toward them step by step.
They will howl like demons, huddle together in pain, struggle and twist, and finally turn into dry charcoal.
During the entire process, people around could even see the flesh and blood of these burning soldiers peeling off piece by piece... This was enough to cause them the most serious psychological trauma.
No one wanted to go near the perforation or the door, and many soldiers chose to surrender. They are unwilling to face such weapons, because during the horrific death process, the deceased will remain sane until the last moment. It is a kind of torture that goes from the surface to the bone marrow.
Another weapon seems more humane, but its power is even more terrifying: the Tang Empire will dispatch dense bombers to carpet bomb the entire fortification area in the central part of the Mirage.
The bombing will use cloud bombs, which are fuel bombs that will quickly use up all the surrounding air during the secondary detonation of the fuel, and even put the entire area into a state of negative pressure.
The huge explosion will kill everyone in the tunnel, and the remaining lucky ones will die of lack of oxygen in the next few minutes.
This kind of weapon is pretty good at cleaning underground bunkers, but the side effects are a little bit big: the orc soldiers who later go to clean the caves and tunnels are often disgusted by the sight in front of them. They will see piles of corpses, quietly Sitting against the wall, but lifeless.
The scene was so weird and bizarre that when the orc soldiers faced such a scene for the first time, they couldn't help but start vomiting.
The third weapon is the incendiary bomb. The principle of this weapon is also very simple: it simply relies on burning to consume the oxygen in the tunnel.
Once the surrounding oxygen is rapidly consumed, thick smoke will rush into the cave through the gaps, and the people inside will soon die from lack of oxygen or lung burns.
This is like the victims who died of smoke in a fire. They were not burned to death by the fire, but died of smoke.
In order to avoid such an attack, the Mirage soldiers could only block some concealed machine gun perforations to block the thick smoke as much as possible and prevent the remaining oxygen inside the tunnel from being burned and consumed.
But in this way, on the one hand, the ventilation conditions in the tunnel cave became worse, and on the other hand, the mirage army was forced to give up many insidious and hidden perforations.
The last weapon is the "earth-penetrating bomb", a new weapon put into actual combat testing by the Tang Empire. This weapon can penetrate a mountain structure more than ten meters thick and explode directly inside.
Its power is so amazing that it can often blow up a tunnel or cave of Mirage Army in one go. The huge explosion will kill everyone inside, and even collapse the cave and bury that section of the tunnel.
Many times, the support troops of the Mirage Army could not even find the place to support: they rushed to the scene of the accident, and then were shocked to find that the passage originally marked on the map had collapsed.
Or they passed through the crumbling tunnel and found that a skylight suddenly opened up in front of them. The original tunnel was blown open, and a skylight suddenly appeared under the sky.
This kind of bomb that can destroy the terrain has just entered the war, and the goblins began to be unable to bear it. Their carefully constructed underground tunnel fortifications are really vulnerable to this new type of bomb.
With the cooperation of the Tang Empire's new weapons, the attack speed of the orc troops has been greatly increased.
They quickly broke through several mirage defense lines and opened a gap in the central fortification area of the mirage.
The mirage army, which was already very passive, became even more panicked. They did not have much ammunition reserves to begin with, and now they were about to be split into two. The part of the army that lacked ammunition was no longer interested in fighting.
Mirage Haiping could only retreat the troops in the northern region to the southern region, so that some effective forces could be preserved.
The mirage troops stationed in the northern region then began a large-scale retreat. However, because the morale of the army had collapsed, the retreat quickly turned into a rout.
Within ten days, approximately 30,000 mirage troops laid down their weapons and surrendered. Only 20,000 of the tens of thousands of troops in the northern region finally fled to the south.
What Mirage Haiping didn't expect was that although his order preserved the effectiveness of Mirage Army, it also hid a hidden danger: Mirage Army's actual control area was suddenly reduced to half of its original size!
In the past, this might not have been a serious matter, but at this moment, it really cost Mirage Jun his life.
Because the personnel density suddenly increased, the Mirage Army became even more passive when facing the Tang Army's new weapons.
Everyone was crowded in the narrow tunnel, enduring the blows of various incendiary bombs and cloud explosions. The scene was really desolate.
Many troops were suffocated to death in rows where they were stationed. After the support troops arrived, all they saw were piles of corpses without wounds.
"General! It's time for you to eat." After Ming Haiping turned off the radio angrily and refused to listen to Ming Wenmao's nonsense, the chef opened the door of Ming Haiping's room, brought a tray, and reminded him in a low voice. .
