Chapter 76 No, am I really a mimic heretic?

Chapter 76 No, am I really a mimic heretic?
While ordering He Shuo to go forward for reconnaissance, Chen Jian accelerated the construction of bunkers in Huangshi City.

Originally he planned to let the residents rest for a night before starting the work, but now he has changed his mind.

rest?

Why take a break at this critical moment?

Let’s just survive first!
Although it is not yet certain where these water ghosts came from, it is obvious that they would not appear here for no reason.

There is a saying that goes, "When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong." On the battlefield, the ability to make decisions quickly based on limited information is the most basic quality of a commander.

Therefore, even though no signs have been found so far that the Mechanicus is approaching, he is determined to regard this conflict as a test from the Mechanicus.

So, under the illumination of the newly installed electric lights, the entire Yellowstone City came into motion.

Regardless of gender, age, or strength, including himself and the three Holy Bloods, all participated in the construction.

At this moment, it seemed that not only the martial arts genes were revived, but also the genes of the infrastructure maniac were revived.

Those who could dig pits did so, and those who could carry things did so. The people, who had just won a great victory, burst out with tremendous energy. In just a few hours, they had built dozens of single-person shelters that were strong enough to withstand large-caliber artillery fire.

But this is not enough.

A single-person shelter can only provide concealment, but is not sufficient to support a counterattack.

The optimal solution is to dig a large number of trenches to connect the bunkers to ensure that the combatants can maneuver quickly to reach the predetermined attack position.

But it is obvious that without the assistance of heavy machinery, the remaining 120-odd people in Yellowstone City with varying levels of physical strength and fitness simply cannot do it.

Therefore, Chen Jian could only settle for the second best and use the soil and rocks dug out from the single-man shelter to pile up a simple earth wall to use as a bulletproof shelter.

As for whether it can completely block the bullets and whether it will be blown away by the shells, it all depends on luck.

It was not until dawn that the simple shelters were finally built.

At this time, the second round of attacks from the water ghosts also arrived.

This time, there are more water ghosts and their attack methods are more flexible.

Fortunately, after a battle, the people of Yellowstone City have gained experience.

Although it is impossible to upgrade directly from a rookie to a veteran, at least no one is pointing a gun at the air and pulling the trigger to create atmosphere anymore.

Under the cover of automatic firepower, this round of attack was quickly repelled. The entire Yellowstone City was in jubilation, but Chen Jian felt more and more uneasy.

"This is very unusual, two attacks in one day."

"It is almost certain that these water ghosts are from the Mechanicus."

"Their purpose is very clear, which is to use these cannon fodder to continuously consume our ammunition supply and disrupt our defense deployment."

"Damn it, these religious fanatics are not very good at technology, but they are really good at playing tricks."

"We can't keep wasting time like this. Isn't this just voluntary bandit suppression?"

"If they really use up all our ammunition, what's the point of fighting afterwards?"

“We have to change our approach”

“Unless you take the initiative, you don’t stand a chance.”

Lei Jie suddenly interrupted:
"In fact, it's not just the water ghosts, the subsequent operations are the same."

"They have plenty of people to fight us, but we are short of both people and guns. Sooner or later, we will be worn out by them."

"Only by scaring them once can we end the battle once and for all."

"We needed a war to build a country back then, and now we need a war to build a city."

"I know."

Chen Jian nodded, and then said:

"The reason why we want to spread people out is for this reason."

"As long as we can seize the opportunity and win a decisive victory, I think they will reconsider how to get along with us."

"But I doubt whether the other side will accept the fight."

"At least when we played against them before, they just behaved strangely, but their tactics were not stupid."

"I've come back."

Lei Jie spread his hands helplessly, and then said:

"There is only one way to break the deadlock."

"Take the initiative to attack."

"But we don't attack the Han River, we attack the Xi River."

"According to Huang Yu, the armed forces of Xishui City only have about a hundred people, and the difficulty of attacking is much lower than that of Hanshui City." "After taking Xishui, we can obtain new supplies and personnel, and then continue to attack Jiujiang along the Yangtze River."

"According to Huang Yu, the settlement there is not very large. If we can successfully capture it, we will be able to gain a large enough living space."

"It's a common saying to surround the cities with the countryside. We should..."

"and many more."

Chen Jian suddenly interrupted Lei Jie.

His expression became a little heavy, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said:
"Didn't you notice?"

"You are planning a battle plan."

"It seems very similar to the 'mimicry heresy' that Huang Yu mentioned."

After he finished speaking, Lei Jie stood there in a daze.

Yes, Huang Yu said that when the Mimic Heretic arrived in Yellowstone, he had killed many people and experienced many battles.

In Huang Yu's impression, the mimic heretic is like some kind of "man-eating evil ghost", and blood flows wherever it passes.

They also fought and killed their way here.

If Lei Jie's plan goes according to plan, the force he has established in Yellowstone City might really become the same as the mimicry heretic!
What the hell is going on?
So the Mechanicus were right?
Huh? Are we really mimic heretics? ?

Lei Jie looked at Chen Jian in astonishment. Chen Jian frowned and said after a few seconds of silence:
“I just thought of that, too.”

"Is there a possibility that if their style of doing things and their tactical logic are the same as ours, then what they want to do is actually the same as us?"

"You mean, they are liberators in some sense?"

When these words were spoken, not only Lei Jie, but even Shen Yue, who had been listening on the side without much reaction, was stunned.

The reason is simple: this conclusion is too unexpected.

I originally thought that "mimetic heresy" was just an unwarranted accusation made by the other party in order to eliminate dissidents, but now it seems that the other party's concerns seem to be based on some rationality.

This rationality may not be correct, but it is indeed the choice that maximizes the interests of the Mechanicus.

In an instant, the struggle against oppression and aggression was upgraded to an ideological struggle.

My goodness! Now, the Battle of Yellowstone is really going to turn into a war for the founding of a nation.

Chen Jian shook his head slowly and replied:

“They may not necessarily be liberators, but they certainly represent some kind of new order.”

"There is no doubt that we also represent the new order."

“And the birth of a new order must be at the cost of the demise of the old order.”

"This is the real motive. This is the real reason why they declared martial law in Hanshui City in such a short time and organized such a large-scale attack!"

“Because they were really scared after being beaten!”

"Depend on!"

"Something is wrong!"

Chen Jian's mind was clear, and he quickly said:
"Our enemy is not only the Mechanicus, but also the Holy Blood Temple!"

"This round of encirclement and suppression is not as simple as we thought!"

"Our enemies are not only from Hanshui City, not only from Xishui, and not only from Xianning!"

"I have a feeling that they will mobilize all the forces they can in the shortest possible time and strangle us like a lion fighting a rabbit!"

"The Jiujiang you just mentioned, or even the farther Jinling, they may attack us. We..."

"I am He Shuo, important information!"

Before Chen Jian finished speaking, the voice of He Shuo, who was out on reconnaissance, suddenly came from everyone's headphones.

"A large number of ships were found on the Yangtze River, no less than 20, of which at least 5 were powered steamships!"

"It's over, I guessed it right!"

Chen Jian's heart tightened, and almost at the same time, Huang Yu rushed into the temporary command room with blood on his hands, shouting anxiously:
"Xianning! Towards Xianning!"

"Someone is coming!"

"Our people encountered the Holy Blood! One died, and one came back!"

"There are so many people, and they are very close to us!"
