Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 182 Tough attitude

After completing the deployment in Shangjin City, Lu Tianhao left behind a part of the troops to be responsible for defense.

Then he led the rest of the troops and marched northward without stopping, heading straight for Beidu Prefecture.

When the army arrived not far from the south gate of Beidu Prefecture, they saw that the city walls were densely packed with enemy soldiers.

In addition, there are many civilians who were forcibly brought here and are helping them build fortifications, transport supplies, etc.

Seeing this scene, Lu Tianhao and many generals couldn't help but be furious.

They really couldn't imagine that the bandits and the multinational coalition forces could be so cruel and continue to use innocent civilians as shields.

Yuan Yapeng said angrily, "These beasts are simply stubborn and unrepentant!

They still don't repent and are still using our people as a shield.

Marshal, I suggest that we also bring a group of their prisoners, force them to act as cannon fodder, and directly attack their city walls to see how they respond! "

Wang Hui nodded in agreement and said, "Marshal, we must teach them a lesson, otherwise they will definitely continue to use such despicable means to deal with us."

Lu Tianhao's eyes were cold and his tone was icy as he said, "Go and bring up a group of their prisoners."

Then he turned his head to look towards the city wall, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

“After these prisoners are brought up, have someone shout directly to the enemy on the city wall, asking them to release our people.

If they didn't listen, they would just shoot the prisoners.

If they still don’t release them, they will bring in another group of prisoners and continue to shoot them until they release them.”

Wang Hui on the side said worriedly, "Marshal, isn't this a bit risky? What should we do if their soldiers shoot our civilians?"

Lu Tianhao sneered, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness, and replied, "Don't be afraid, if they dare to shoot, let them know how powerful we are.

You send someone to tell them that if they dare to shoot our civilians, our long-range bombers will go to their country and carry out large-scale bombing of their territory.

I have a bomb powerful enough to destroy their cities and infrastructure.

As long as their country can withstand the blow, they can give it a try.”

The other prisoners were relatively far away, only the more than 3000 multinational soldiers guarding the concession in Shangjin City were relatively close.

They were really unlucky. Lu Tianhao immediately sent someone to drive a transport vehicle to escort some of the prisoners over.

As for the life and death of these people, it depends on the attitude of the enemy on the city wall.

As for the ransom of 2000 silver dollars for each of them, it was no longer important to Lu Tianhao.

Not only can you get twenty points by shooting them, but if you convert the points into silver dollars, that would be a full 200 silver dollars.

Although the benefits are reduced tenfold, it's not a big deal.

The journey from Kitato Prefecture to Kamitsu City is long, more than a hundred kilometers away.

Even with cars as a means of transportation, more than three hours had passed by the time the prisoners arrived.

At this time, Du Xiaowei had been promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and the position of head of the guard regiment originally held by him became vacant.

Therefore, Lu Tianhao decisively appointed Li Guangjie to take over this important position.

Li Guangjie is also a veteran member of the Guard Corps. He had previously served as the deputy commander of the Guard Corps and has now finally been promoted to a full-time commander.

This time, 300 prisoners were escorted over.

Lu Tianhao ordered the soldiers to escort 100 of the prisoners to negotiate with the enemy first.

The commander in charge of this negotiation was Li Guangjie.

He led dozens of soldiers from the guard regiment, escorting 100 prisoners, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

When they were more than 100 meters away from the city gate, Li Guangjie stopped, chose a place with cover, and signaled the soldiers to hide first.

Li Guangjie made a trumpet shape with his hand and shouted loudly toward the top of the city wall, "Listen to me, people on the city wall, send someone who can make the decision to talk to me!"

Soon, a commander of the multinational coalition forces appeared on the city wall and responded loudly in their country's language, "I am the commander here, what do you want to say?"

Without waiting for the translator to translate the commander's words, Li Guangjie responded loudly in the commander's language.

"Our commander-in-chief has said that if you dare to use our people as a shield again, don't blame us for being ruthless. We will not hesitate to shoot and kill any captives you capture!

Now I give you ten minutes to immediately release our people on the city wall, otherwise, these prisoners from various countries in front of you will be shot by us directly!"

Li Guangjie's speech was made in the commander's language, which is the common language of the multinational coalition forces.

These captured soldiers could all understand Li Guangjie's calls.

When he learned that the troops on the city wall did not agree to the conditions of the National Salvation Army and that he and others were about to be shot.

These 100 prisoners from various countries began to panic. They looked at the commander on the city wall with pleading eyes, hoping that he would agree to the demands of the National Salvation Army.

However, the commander of the multinational coalition forces had no control over the decision and he immediately informed higher-level generals.

Within a few minutes, I got a reply.

However, the content of the reply left the commander confused and helpless, and he didn't know how to respond.

The content clearly stated that the demands of the National Salvation Army should be ignored, and if they dared to shoot prisoners, they would be condemned by the international community.

Such instructions put him in a dilemma. On the one hand, he had to consider the orders from his superiors, and on the other hand, he was faced with the current predicament and the pleading looks of the prisoners.

He couldn't help but wonder, what choice should he make in the face of such a situation?

Ten minutes passed in a flash, and the commander still couldn't make a decision.

At this moment, a fierce burst of gunfire suddenly came from under the city wall. The National Salvation Army soldiers who were escorting the prisoners shot and killed one hundred of them without hesitation.

The gunshots were deafening and heart-pounding.

Before the bandits on the city wall and the multinational coalition forces could react, the second batch of one hundred prisoners had been escorted to Li Guangjie.

The captives looked terrified and their bodies were shaking.

On the way, several prisoners were so frightened that they were unable to move forward and some even collapsed to the ground.

However, the National Salvation Army soldiers who escorted them showed no mercy and decisively shot them to death.

Seeing this scene, the other prisoners no longer dared to stop, and they all quickened their pace and continued to move forward.

The commander of the multinational coalition forces on the city wall witnessed all this and was shocked.

He immediately reported the situation to his superior general, but this time the superior general did not directly respond to the message.

Instead, he personally climbed up the city wall and prepared to start a dialogue with Li Guangjie.
