Chapter 20, All Geniuses
The four Wanderers were the first weapons Gu Hang could use to smash the defense line of River Valley Manor.
The second weapon is himself.
He also joined the battle personally.
Gu Hang sat in the armored vehicle, his eyes fixed on a bunker. A hole was dug there, and a superstructure was built with heavy stone, leaving a firing hole. There were heavy machine guns inside, which posed a great threat to the infantry.
Facing the solid bunker, even the machine guns on the "Wanderer" could hardly shake it.
There were three bunkers built by the mercenaries, which formed their second line of defense.
After realizing that the simple rubble wall could not be defended, a large number of mercenaries had already retreated. They planned to rely on this bunker to continue the resistance.
Gu Hang closed his eyes. He could feel the vibration of his mind and the taste of blood. In his mind, the mercenaries who resisted formed vague shadows, which were detected by his psychic vision.
He locked onto the nearest bunker and used a blade that could not be seen in real life to slash across the heads of the two mercenaries inside, beheading them.
In reality, the bodies of the two mercenaries did not look abnormal, but they fell backwards as if they had been beheaded, their bodies twitching due to nerve spasms.
Then, Gu Hang followed the same method and eliminated the machine gunners in the other two bunkers.
He felt that his spiritual energy consumption was not too bad, at least less than when dealing with the mutated greenskin who imprisoned the dead.
There are two possible reasons. One is that after the green beast was transformed by the potion, its extremely strong body also brought about an increase in the strength of its soul. Cutting off one of that guy's legs would cost much more than killing multiple mercenaries.
On the other hand, after the last upgrade, his spiritual attribute increased a little. This increase in attribute made the spiritual power he could control become 150% relative to before the upgrade.
The value of one attribute point is huge.
It is not too difficult to kill these mercenaries whose wills are slightly stronger than ordinary people from a distance.
The firing points of the three bunkers were silenced at the same time, resulting in a large gap in the overall firepower of the mercenary defense line.
Under the cover of mortars and machine guns on moving armored vehicles, the infantry took this opportunity to charge forward.
Some mercenaries tried to get back into the bunker and start the heavy machine gun again, but those who tried to do so were either torn to pieces by the machine guns of the armored vehicles or accurately shot and killed by the elite marines. For those who really went in, Gu Hang's spiritual vision could see clearly, and with another "Soul Cutting", he could easily cut off the enemy's head.
At this point, the morale of the mercenaries finally collapsed completely.
They knew they couldn't escape. Leaving the bunker, it was impossible to escape the armored vehicles on foot on flat ground.
Not to mention, there are also terrifying psychics.
A considerable number of mercenaries laid down their guns and raised their hands in surrender.
At this point, the second line of defense of Mantan Valley Manor was also destroyed. The main force of the mercenaries guarding the manor had been almost annihilated.
…
It is too late to count how many people surrendered and how many people were killed.
However, according to simple questioning and confessions, the remaining enemies should be no more than twenty people, and they are all concentrated in the central building.
It was not far from the creek bay and was the residence of the owner's family. The twenty people were not all mercenaries, but mainly Wohan's personal bodyguards.
In addition, they also learned that the supplies they had looted before were stored in several warehouses not too far from the main building.
They had just returned and had not yet finished unloading the goods. The tied animals and wooden carts still loaded with goods were all nearby.
Gu Hang had already sent the personnel of the Abandoned Cave Company to clean up the warehouse. On the one hand, it was to prevent the presence of others inside, and on the other hand, it was to check whether the goods were complete and how much there was.
The remaining manpower surrounded the last building that had not yet been conquered.
The building was beautifully constructed, and the four-story building covered a large area. When Wohan was not in Fuxing City, he would basically live here. In that house, there were also his servants, butlers, and a series of people who served him.
As for the cultivators of the entire manor's fields, the serfs were not allowed to approach here. The serfs lived in a more remote area, where there were some simple wooden houses with about 200 people living in the large bunk beds.
The place had already been controlled by the soldiers, and the unarmed serfs stayed obediently in their houses and dared not move.
There are at least twenty more militants in the main building.
The soldiers of Feidong Company had tried to persuade them to surrender, but the soldier sent to persuade them to surrender was met with only bullets. Fortunately, the distance was not very close, and only two bullets hit his chest, which was blocked by the bulletproof plate.
The young soldier, with a pain in his chest, ran back in a panic, cursing loudly with lingering fear.
Perbov, the captain of the Waste Cave Company, stepped forward and kicked the young man twice: "Why are you panicking? Can these two bullets kill you?"
The young soldier shrank his neck. In the previous battle, he dared to charge fiercely, and he was not afraid of going alone to persuade the enemy to surrender, but he was afraid of this company commander.
In theory, it shouldn't be. Captain Perbov is an old acquaintance. He was originally a local of Feidong Society and the captain of the ore excavation team. When everyone was recruited from their hometown, the leader asked Perbov to lead the team. After they were organized into an army, Perbov was also promoted to temporary company commander and was in charge of training.
How could a captain of a mineral mining team know anything about military training and military command?
But in the past few days of training, the company commander had miraculously mastered the skills and abilities of leading and commanding soldiers. Even he himself found this very strange, as if in those few days of training, his memory, comprehension, and even muscle memory were all like a cheat.
He quickly became a qualified officer. He knew how to train soldiers. He knew that sometimes he couldn't be too lenient with them like he had been in the past. The discipline and strictness that should be in the army were indispensable. But at the same time, he also kept his understanding and love for everyone. They were all his compatriots and brothers from the same hometown as him. He regarded these soldiers as his family from the bottom of his heart.
Under his training, these soldiers mastered the skills of becoming an officer and all kinds of skills to become a qualified soldier, just like he had mastered the skills of an officer. From not knowing how to shoot a gun at the beginning, everyone later became a qualified shooter, able to complete accurate tactical movements, understand combat terminology, and know how to form a formation, attack, and retreat...
The whole process was magical to Perbov, but it was also natural. He could feel the changes happening to him, just a little faster.
Maybe these hundred of us are really born to be soldiers and are all geniuses?
Of course, this speed was simply a horror story in the eyes of Yan Fangxu, a veteran and senior officer. When Perbov was communicating with Yan Fangxu, he also heard such comments from the other party. He was afraid that there would be any problems, so he asked the governor, but he only got one answer from the governor:
"Don't think too much. Under normal circumstances, you are all geniuses."
