The sirens of firetrucks still echoed constantly at night, and the damage caused by the missiles of the Tang Empire to Wuyang City was greater than imagined.
Many buildings collapsed and others were set alight. The fires burned for several hours and were not put out at night.
The people of Wuyang City gathered together and looked numbly at the buildings that were still smoking. What used to be their homes had now turned into ruins.
War has always been far away from here. The Qin State is martial and has always been aggressive and aggressive.
The people of Qin also advocated martial arts. They were keen on using war to solve problems and showing off their military power. The common people enthusiastically supported the war and hoped that they could change their own destiny through military exploits.
In fact, Qin's promotion system is very advanced, and it can almost be said that it has the prototype of the current army. Their civilians can really rely on military merit to be promoted, and eventually be promoted to their own class.
In a very broad circle, everyone does not reject this kind of people who fight and risk their lives to gain merit. This kind of social atmosphere makes the people recognize this "military system" model.
But the butcher's knife hurt him the most, and he fanatically admired war. The reason may be that he had never been beaten before.
The Qin State has reaped too many dividends from victory in wars, so they regard wars as a way to obtain benefits from top to bottom. In their subconscious mind, they blocked the possibility of defeat.
Ever since the Western Wall Fortress defeated the Orc Empire, they have used war to gain benefits from the Great China Empire. Until they invaded Shu and reached the pinnacle of expansion!
This is also the reason why the Qin State dared to challenge the Tang Empire: they won too much, and they were all blinded by the victory.
Now, the ballistic missiles of the Tang Empire fell into Wuyang City, and the common people of Qin discovered that they were very close to the war, and the cruelty of the war was finally exposed in front of them.
Those distant victories that only appeared in newspapers or on the radio were far less shocking than the houses that collapsed in front of us.
“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…” A child kept crying and couldn't stop no matter how much his mother comforted him. They lost their home and the calmness and calmness of the past.
"Didn't you say that the front line is still in Dahua? Why did the fight come here?" A woman asked the man next to her. She didn't know much about these things and was already a little scared.
According to previous news propaganda, Tang troops were still fighting Qin near the old capital, but for the Qin people, the old capital was so far away, and the war was still far away from them.
But what's going on now? How come the war that was far away near the old capital suddenly reached Wuyang City? How could he be burned in front of him all of a sudden?
"Could it be that everything in the newspaper is wrong?" Another old woman then questioned the propaganda in the newspaper.
The literacy rate in the Qin State is actually very low. The literacy rate of the people in the old Qin Dynasty was less than 20%, and most women had never read a book.
Later, the State of Qin followed the example of the State of Tang in setting up newspapers, and began to send literate people to preach the news at fixed points in the streets and alleys. These women and old people had nothing to do, and their biggest pastime was to gather together and listen to these "stories."
The result is that these people, who originally knew nothing, now know only a little. When the news is good, they naturally unite as one. When the news is a little more complicated, rumors begin to spread.
"What nonsense! This thing is called a missile...it can fly very far." The man working in the factory scolded, causing several women around him to shut up.
But he actually felt guilty, because recently the factory had begun to investigate the nature of everyone's work and began to let some children enter the factory to study.
It's just that the orders for recruitment and mobilization are being implemented more and more strictly. The recruitment office where people were queuing up to sign up on the street has become deserted. The officers of the recruitment department have started to conduct door-to-door investigations with household registration records...
The atmosphere suddenly became tense at that time. Everyone was panicked and began to question the war news in the newspapers: Since the war was going well, what was going on with such crazy recruitment and mobilization?
"The child's father...here, will this missile come back again?" The woman didn't care about things far away. She was more worried about whether she would be able to survive in the future.
If this thing falls every day, then they will not have a good life. Wuyang City in Qin State was a city that had not experienced war for a long time. The so-called bunkers and fortifications here were really shabby.
Not to mention the underground fortifications, due to the changes of the times, the city walls here have been in disrepair for a long time, and a large part has even been demolished.
After all, the development of streets, the expansion of cities, and the rise of factories have made traditional fortifications like city walls lose their meaning and necessity.
However, although most of the city wall was demolished, the construction of underground bunkers such as air raid shelters did not keep up with the construction: this kind of thing is easy to be ignored. At least Ying Duo never thought that his capital would be attacked one day.
A small number of anti-aircraft underground bunkers were built for nobles. However, with the updating of war weapons, ordinary bunkers can no longer meet the needs of refuge.
As long as they are hit, most bunkers will be destroyed, and the people inside will naturally be in danger. As for the common people, they don't even have a place to hide.
Nowhere to hide, homeless... the civilians in Qin's capital finally realized the misery of the Chinese in the old capital. They looked at the fire in front of them, and an inexplicable emotion spread in their hearts.
…
"Check! Check for me! Find out where that call came from!" Ying Duo angrily scolded the intelligence general in front of him in the temporary transformation headquarters of the manor outside the city.
The other party lowered his head and explained in embarrassment: "Your Majesty! The missile attack just hit the telephone exchange. The situation there is very bad now. The fire has not been extinguished, so the clues must not be saved."
The Tang Empire's ballistic missiles were far from accurate, and the intelligence department on the Datang Empire's side had no intention of hiding clues. The missile just happened to hit the telephone exchange, causing the Wuyang City telephone system to be interrupted.
After all, it is very possible for 40 missiles to be lucky enough to hit two or three relatively valuable targets. In addition to this missile, another missile fell on the palace, causing minimal damage.

Sorry, overslept.
