Two Dragons Playing with Pearls (III)
Fiadro was in a state of chaos. Many of the generals were planning their escape route, but they were not in the mood to think about how to fight against the American army. Only Commander Samdax was calm. He knew that Jorgar had sent reinforcements to this place two days ago. His only task now was to defend the city and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
However, his subordinates did not think so. They did not know about the reinforcements either. When the time came, he would just leave and leave, leaving us here to die? Usually, they would say that the US military was just a motley crew and that the Halani Peninsula was impregnable. Let's not talk about far away. If the US military was really as they said, would they have lost two cities so quickly? Stop lying to yourself! Since ancient times, officials always said one thing and did another. It was simply a stubborn and pedantic way to count on them. If an official was reliable, even a sow could climb a tree! The officers were in the same bed but had different dreams. Each had their own matters to attend to. Fiadro did not want to look so peaceful. Undercurrents were surging and danger lurked everywhere.
The American troops had already arrived at Fiadero City and met up with Griffin, preparing to launch a fierce attack on Fiadero. Griffin reported Fiadro's situation to Milan and Birminham. Fiadro was easy to defend but difficult to attack. There were more than a dozen defensive lines on the outside, but after days of fighting, only three were broken. Moreover, they had paid a considerable price, and the losses of the troops were not small. The apes were very arrogant and vowed to resist to the end.
Birmingham-led troops attacked the apes and broke through several of their defenses. Samdax gave the order to kill them if they took another step back. The apes braced themselves and regrouped their troops to stop the American attack.
The one defending the eighth line of defense this time was the 8th Division of the 92nd Division of the Ape Army. The main commander, Padua, was skilled in martial arts and could be considered one of the best in the Ape Army. He was born at the wrong time, and today, he had met Beckham, which meant that his life had come to an end. No matter how powerful he was, he was still vulnerable in front of Beckham.
As soon as they started fighting, Padua felt this. He did not dare to touch the Eight-edged Purple Gold Hammer with his shovel. He knew the weight of the pair of golden hammers, and he had also heard about Birminghamia. He knew that Birminghamia was a powerful character. After a few moves, he was gradually exhausted. He was sweating all over and could not even breathe properly. How could he still be a threat to Birminghamia? He wanted to find a chance to escape, but Birminghamia would not give him such a chance. The Eight-edged Purple Gold Hammer whistled with the wind, and Padua did not dare to take it head-on. They could only retreat. Seeing that Padua was about to die under the hammer of Birmingham, another ape came over and joined the battle.
This ape was Paddock, the commander of the 12th Division. He was also Padua's twin brother. He had a date in his hand, and his martial arts skills were not inferior to Padua's. With the help of his younger brother, Padua was much more confident. The two apes fought at the same time against Miami.
Faced with the pincer attack of the two apes, Beckham showed no fear. He still seemed to be at ease in the middle of the two apes. He was not at a disadvantage at all. The two apes fought together and did not have the slightest advantage.
After dozens of rounds of fighting, Birmingham became more and more courageous. The apes were a little overwhelmed. Birmingham took advantage of Padua's slight distraction and knocked away Padua's nine-eared and eight-ringed shovel with his purple gold hammer. Padua screamed and left his brother to escape. Birmingham's left hammer blocked Paddock's jujube, and his right hammer smashed towards Padua.······" Bam!" " Pfft!" Zaoyang Shuo was pushed away, and Paddock took a few steps back. Padova's head was miserable. It had been opened and colorful blood flowed all over the ground. He had long died. Seeing his brother killed, Paddock's eyes turned red. He howled and charged over again. The pair of hammers from Birminghammer danced in the wind, forcing Paddock to retreat. When he wasn't careful, his weapon hit the octagonal purple gold hammer and bounced high. Taking advantage of the situation, Beckham followed up and hit Paddock in the chest with a hammer. Paddock spat out blood and fell to the ground, struggling to stand up. However, Birminghammer raised his hammer and ended Paddock's life. Raising the purple gold hammer high, the troops charged at the apes like a tide. The apes were defeated like a mountain and fled in panic.
".....................................................................................................
"…The US Army is coming…Where are you going? Oh my god…"
"Run! Why did my mother give birth to two legs for me? Oh my god! If you run slow, you'll die…"
Along the way, the Americans struck while the iron was hot, continuously taking over the outer positions of the apes. The apes all retreated into the city, and the City of Birminghamia directly attacked the city and surrounded Fiadero.
Milan and Birminghamia were discussing the battle deployment in the camp when they suddenly received a report that the ape reinforcements were coming here. They were only a hundred miles away from Garcia. Milan hurried to the map and pointed at it.""Garcia and Fiadro are only about a hundred miles apart. There is only one place in the middle that can stop the apes. After this place, it will be a wide stretch of flat land.
Milan was referring to a place called the Dragon Ridge. It was a mountain range that was only 400 meters above sea level and dozens of miles long. It separated Garcia and Fiadero. It was the only dangerous place. After discussing with Birminghamia, Milan decided to hand over the task of stopping the reinforcements of the apes to Verdasco.
General Verdasco, there is a very important mission for you to complete. I hope you can succeed! "Milan said to Verdasco.
"If there's any mission, please feel free to instruct me, I will not refuse!”Verdasco was full of confidence.
Milan saw that Verdasco was full of energy and said it directly. "General, the ape reinforcements are less than a hundred miles away. If the ape reinforcements arrive, we will be attacked from both sides. The consequences will be unimaginable! The Apes are only 40 miles away from the Extreme Dragon Ridge, while we are 60 miles away from the Extreme Dragon Ridge. The situation is grim. Seizing the Extreme Dragon Ridge and stopping the Apes 'reinforcements is the most important thing in this battle. Therefore, you must reach the Extreme Dragon Ridge before the Apes arrive at all costs. Stop the Apes at the foot of the ridge. Time is tight, so I won't say anything more. Let's go quickly. Victory or defeat depends on this!”
Verdasco stood at attention and said confidently,""General, don't worry. I will not fail my mission. Just wait for my good news!”
Verdasco gathered his troops and set off immediately. The troops marched towards the Extreme Dragon Ridge at an extremely fast speed. Along the way, Verdasco kept encouraging the American soldiers to not fall behind. Taking down Juelong Ridge would win the war. General is waiting for our good news!
It was already dusk when the troops arrived at Juelong Ridge. The soldiers were already drenched in sweat and panting heavily. They could not even stand properly. Verdasco looked down the ridge and saw that the apes were already halfway up the mountain. He quickly ordered his troops to enter their positions. Although they were exhausted to the extreme, the sight of the apes made the soldiers feel energized, and their fatigue was instantly swept away.
The apes were already close to the top of the mountain, and Vodasco ordered the arrows to be fired. Arrows rained down on the ape. The apes didn't expect an ambush here, and they were thrown into chaos by the sudden attack. They retreated down the Juelong Ridge in a panic, leaving only corpses all over the hillside.
After repelling the apes, Verdasco ordered the troops to rest as soon as possible. The apes would soon attack again.
As expected, the apes attacked the mountain in the time it took for a meal. Verdasco organized his troops to defend desperately. Arrows and stones were fired at the apes at the same time. Countless apes were killed or injured. The ones who woke up Justice Money were also killed by the US army. The ape retreated again.
The supreme commander of the apes at the foot of the mountain, Abraham, was furious. At first, he thought that some scattered soldiers were blocking his way, but he did not expect it to be the main force of the American army. How did the US military get here so quickly? Could it be that Fiadro had met with misfortune? What's wrong with the Americans guarding this place?······A series of question marks troubled him. Abraham ordered the apes to take down the Extreme Dragon Ridge at all costs and approach Fiadro.
The apes attacked like crazy, and Verdasco ordered his troops to defend to the death. The scene was very tragic. The position changed hands several times, and Verdasco led his troops to take it back tenaciously. The sky was getting dark. Verdasco had repelled seven attacks from the apes. Countless apes had died, and the American troops had suffered heavy losses. Nearly half of them had died. If the apes continued to attack, it would be quite difficult to hold on. Fortunately, the apes didn't know what was happening on the mountain, so they stopped attacking.
After getting a rare breather, Verdasco finally relaxed a little. He felt some pain in his left arm and realized that he was injured. His left arm had been cut open. After a simple bandage, Verdasco said to the soldier,""Brothers! "The apes are attacking us with a force several times stronger than us. We have to defend our position. General Milan and General Birminghamir are attacking Fiadero. We have to stop the apes 'reinforcements and buy time for the main force. The two generals have given us such an important task. It shows that they have great trust in us. We must not fail our mission and defend the Dragon Ridge to the death to stop the apes' reinforcements!"”
The morale of the soldiers was also high. They all expressed that they would fight the apes to the end. Even if there was only one soldier left, they would not retreat and live and die with the Dragon Ridge.
The sky gradually brightened, and the apes launched another attack. The American troops resisted desperately and repelled several attacks from the apes. The casualties of the troops increased again, and their combat strength was barely holding on. If the apes attacked again, the consequences would be unimaginable. Verdasco gathered his troops. There were less than 2,000 soldiers left, and most of them were injured. Verdasco gritted his teeth and said to his brothers,"Brothers! Perhaps we have already reached the final moment, and we can't hold on any longer. If the apes attack again, we will have to fight them to the death! Try to delay the apes!"
" I'll listen to the general..."
"General! Just give the order! We'll go through Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild with you!······”
"Apes! If you're not afraid of death, come!"
The apes attacked again. They were about to reach the top of the mountain, and the situation was precarious.
At this critical moment, the apes at the foot of the mountain were in chaos, and the sounds of killing could be heard endlessly. Verdasco saw through his binoculars that an army was fighting with the apes.
" Reinforcements are here! Brothers! We're not fated to die. Follow me, charge!······”
The apes attacking the mountain also noticed the changes at the foot of the mountain and quickly retreated. Verdasco led the troops to pursue them.
The two armies merged together, and the ape was panic-stricken and defeated. The American army pursued and killed the ape and captured Abraham alive.
It turned out that the one who appeared at the most critical moment was the 100,000 strong army led by Sebastian's Wiltwood. Ever since the American troops left, Weltwood had never stopped thanking them. He had been paying attention to the situation at all times. When he learned that the apes had sent more troops to Fiadero, he immediately gathered 100,000 troops and rushed to the Extreme Dragon Ridge to stop the apes. As soon as they arrived at Juelong Ridge, they saw the apes attacking the mountain on a large scale. They knew that it must be the American army blocking them here, so they ordered the troops to quickly enter the battle. After eliminating the apes, Verdasco held Weltwood's hand tightly and thanked him for saving his life. Weltwood humbly gave in. After some discussion, the troops decided to stay here to prevent the apes from sending reinforcements again.
Fiadro was currently in the middle of a fierce battle. Birmingham was personally leading the troops to attack, while the apes were defending the city. Two days had passed, but there was still no progress. Miami was anxious and wanted to attack the city at night, but Milan stopped them.
"General! " Don't be impatient. I just received a report from General Verdasco. The ape reinforcements have been eliminated and the commander, Abraham, has been captured alive. Without reinforcements, I don't think Fiadro will be able to hold on for long. I think we can take Fiadro down in tomorrow's battle!"”Milan advised Beckham.
"Oh? Are you talking about the great victory at Juelong Ridge? The apes were exterminated? How is this possible?”Baiyun was a little suspicious.
"Haha! You probably don't know this! It was Weltwood's troops who had taken the apes 'retreat route and defeated them!”
"Weltwood? Wasn't he in Sabatis? Why are we here at Juelong Ridge?"
"This…I don't know what's going on either. Let's talk about it when we see him!”
The news of the apes being wiped out had also reached Fiadro. Samdax was so frightened that he almost slipped out of his chair. The expressions of the other apes changed drastically. Without reinforcements, Fiadro was a lonely city. The tens of millions of American troops were eyeing Fiadro covetously. The attacks in the past few days had caused the apes to suffer heavy losses. Their combat strength was not as good as before, and the soldiers 'confidence had dropped to the freezing point. Now, it was even worse. It seemed that Fiadro was in danger!
After daybreak, the city attacked again. The commander of the 90th division of the apes, Wanchope, secretly opened the city gate and surrendered to the Americans. The American troops successfully entered Fiadero.
Seeing that the city had been breached, Samdax was so frightened that he changed into a soldier's clothes. He wanted to muddle through and take the opportunity to escape. Before he could reach the headquarters, he was caught.
Milan interrogated many apes, but none of them knew where Samdax had gone. Could he have escaped? Milan beat her chest and stomped her feet, blaming herself for being incompetent.
Vanchop whispered to Birmingham,"General! I think I saw Samdax among the captives. He was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier, but I'm not sure.”
"So you know Samdax?" Can you point it out for us? I'll consider you a great merit!"
"Yes, yes, yes! This is a good opportunity for me to atone for my sins. I will do my best. It is my great honor to be able to follow you!”
"Alright then! You can go!"
"Yes, sir!"
Wanchop finally found Samdax. "General, stop hiding and follow me!”
"Oh! It was General Wanchope! Let me go on account of our many years of colleagues! When I go out one day, I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of General Jogger. At that time, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!”
"Bah! Stop sweet-talking! Get up! Follow me!" Vanchop roared.
Soon, Samdax was found out. This guy was already scared out of his wits and kept begging for mercy. "Spare me…Spare me…Spare me! I... I... I am willing to surrender to the US Army! Really…really!"
Birminghamian hated people who groveled, so he ordered Samdax to be beheaded. Milan nodded and acquiesced.
The executioner raised his knife and brought down Samdax's sinful head. A formidable man of a generation had fallen on the battlefield.
The US army successfully took down Fiadero and opened the gate to the Halani Peninsula. A few months later, the US army successfully occupied the entire Halani Peninsula.
