"If his departure means nothing to you, why should you track him down?" Finally, the butler slowly raised his head, looked up at Conings, and then spoke, "Besides, what guarantee do you have that the king will not pursue me and my family?" ”

"First question," Conings cocked up a finger, "the capture of Deputy Speaker Marshall is one of our missions. Whether or not he is caught will have an impact on our winnings. We don't care that much about the money, but mosquitoes are still meat, no matter how small. For mercenaries, the more money the better. ”

Then he raised a second finger: "The second question, the army that is now attacking the city, is our people. After taking the city, we will open a green passage for citizens who do not want to get involved in the war to leave safely. If you're not that stupid, you know where to go. After being a steward for the Marshall family for so many years, I'm sure you have enough money to get out of this chaotic country with your family. Besides, you're just a small person compared to the Marshalls. ”

"But this is our country, how can we leave our homeland!" The old man suddenly roared and grabbed Cornings' wrist, "If it weren't for you goddamn mercenaries! How did we end up here! ”

The two clones immediately stepped forward and pinned the old man to the ground and put their guns to his head.

Conings slowly crouched down, opened the helmet mask, and stared into the old man's eyes: "This world is so cruel. Without us, the Kings wouldn't have ended up better than Marshall. Don't forget, the war was the first hand of the Parliamentarians, for which the Parliamentarian forces destroyed the royal palace, which can be called a historical artifact. Everyone is just a raccoon dog. Besides, we're just mercenaries, and what you say is none of our business. You name Marshall's whereabouts. Let's let you go, everyone owes each other. If you don't say it, we'll make some effort to find someone. And then get angry with you and your family because of it, of course. We won't let go of the Marshall family either. So for everyone's convenience and convenience, you'd better cooperate. ”

The old man struggled and shouted: "If you are in it for money, then we can give you more money!" More than the royal family gives! We can hire you......"

Conings suddenly grabbed the old man by the neck and interrupted him: "Hey, old fellow, do you know what it means to come first and come first?" Do you know what business reputation is? Unlike the kind of mercenaries who betray their employers for a small profit, we have our own reputation. Tell me clearly now, I don't have the patience to talk to you. If you want to take this opportunity to stall for time. Then you're thinking wrong! We gave you a chance, but you didn't take it! The city has been completely locked down by us, and even if the Marshall family escapes from this home, they will not be able to escape this city! So, you have no value left, wait to be disposed of by the royal family with your whole family. ”

That's why Cornings suddenly changed the way of persuasion, not only because he really didn't have patience, but also because the voices of other clones sounded in his headphones just now, and they found a tunnel, and it was someone who used it in an hour.

Who will use the tunnels during this time? This is self-evident.

Throw the old man away. Conings immediately said to the other soldiers: "Come and follow me down the tunnel, and the others continue to carry out the task of cleaning up the defenders, our time has been delayed a lot!" ”

Wait until Lin Hai's blocking force has finished building the defense. Only then did Yu Qian stop the previous trick of spraying artillery fire with the defenders, and began to attack with all his might.

Due to the many equipment replenishments in the previous time, the number of poison-tailed scorpion self-propelled howitzers that Yu Qian can use in his hand has reached as many as 300, and he has brought all of them with him for this attack on the capital. …

Compared to the towed artillery of the defenders, which did not even have a hundred guns, Yu Qian's side was obviously much stronger. Once the artillery bombardment was carried out in full force, it took them only ten minutes to suppress the defenders' artillery fire and destroy most of it.

Having lost the main long-range fire, the combat effectiveness of the defenders was immediately affected, and fortifications were constantly destroyed by grenades.

Half an hour after the shelling. Most of the fortifications that the defenders had built in a hurry were lost.

At this time, Yu Qian's defense forces committed three Riemannus Lus tanks and 2,000 infantry for the first wave of the attack.

In the face of this overwhelming offensive. The defenders did not have enough heavy firepower to stop them, and they had all the heavy weapons they had. Tanks, for example, have less than one and a half hundred Leopards in total.

With such force, there was no way to stop Yu Qian's attack head-on. Even with the anti-tank weapons in the hands of the infantry, there was no way to stop the rest of the offensive. Not to mention that even with such an offensive, Yu Qian has not yet used his full strength.

Lieutenant General Joclair's line was breached in just ten minutes. His soldiers, knowing that the attacking troops were the mercenaries, had no intention of fighting desperately, and as soon as they saw that the defense line had been breached, they abandoned their weapons and fled to the rear.

This further weakened the entire line of defense.

"I think we really only need to send a regiment to take this place." From afar, Lin Hai looked at this scene and said with some sighs.

"The gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides is too great, and most of those defenders are composed of troops that have been routed by us, so the will to fight will naturally not be too high." Chen Xi said calmly, "But you're right, we did overestimate each other's combat effectiveness. But it doesn't matter, to take the whole city, one regiment is not enough, and we must not only occupy the city, but also cordon it off and capture the members of the council who may continue to resist if they escape. The strength of the three regiments could not only occupy the city, but also blockade it. Just in handy. ”

"You're right," Lin Hai put down the binoculars, nodded at Chen Xi, and then walked to the rear, "I just received a report that the second group of airborne troops has been fighting in the city, and they have cleared a lot of defenders in the city, basically accounting for eighty percent of the information stated. In addition, more than 7 of the 81 members of the entire Parliament have been arrested. But the most important ones, the speaker and deputy speaker have not been able to catch them. ”

Chen Xi shook his head: "This is very bad, if they run away, then no matter how many other councillors arrest them, it will have no effect." The whole parliament basically listened to the two of them. They could have formed another government, either provisional or in exile, and that would force us to stay here and fight for the Crown. ”

"That's right," Lin Hai said and got into a dog fighting assault car, "so in order for us to get out of here as soon as possible, let's not let them leave successfully." Conings has locked down the whereabouts of Vice Speaker Marshall's family and is now in pursuit. We, on the other hand, went to find Speaker Bronsy. There are squads chasing them, but I think it would save us more time if you joined the tracking operation. ”

"I understand, Commander." Chen Xi also jumped into the car, and then patted the driver, "Drive, take us to meet the arrest team." ”

"Yes, sir." The driver nodded, activated the car's navigation system, and started the assault vehicle. It's not that the driver can't find the way, but because the navigation system records the coordinates of the operating units in the city, and through these synchronized data, he can meet the team.

Fortunately, they weren't too far from the team that captured the Speaker. Because the Speaker's house happened to be in the direction of their siege. It doesn't matter in normal times, but in wartime, this position is not very good.

"Sir." As soon as Lin Hai and the others got out of the car, a clone soldier quickly greeted them, "We have just found the family of Speaker Brownis, including his wife and two children, but Brownsis himself has not been found. ”

"Did you ask his family?" Chen Xi asked.

"I've already asked, before the Wehrmacht shelling, he was still at home, and when the war started, his house was in chaos, and then he disappeared."

Chen Xi patted his head and was a little speechless: "In other words, you don't even know if he is still hiding somewhere at home, or has left here?" ”

The clone replied with some embarrassment, "Uh...... That's it, sir......" (To be continued)
