Chapter 1683 - 1684: Encirclement
At this moment, Li Wang Town, a century-old town, was no longer as quiet as usual.
Overnight, an armed group of unknown origin appeared outside the town.
There were over two hundred people surrounding Li Wang Town, leaving no gap.
The only road into the town had already been barricaded.
A Big Viper Machine Gun was set right in the middle of the road, with sandbags on both sides.
The sandbags, taller than a person, had a canopy over them, forming a very hidden bunker.
Li Wang Town is an ancient city, with a moat over three meters wide outside, its water not very deep, but forming a natural obstacle.
No matter who enters the water, their movement becomes slow.
Moreover, there is no shelter on the nearly three to four meters of water surface.
Any invading enemy entering this area becomes a target for soldiers' precision shooting.
A twelve-arched Long Bridge connects the outside of the town to the inside.
However, at this moment, the stone bridge had been blown apart to prevent enemy tanks from charging.
At this moment, Shui Rou was wearing a camouflage suit, holding binoculars, observing the enemies across the river from behind a barricade.
The enemies across the river were dressed variously, and their flags were all different.
But Shui Rou could tell at a glance that these people were not a ragtag bunch; they had unified command and strict discipline.
This group belonged to the mercenaries under Eight Gates Ninja.
Besides raising many assassins, this large organization also had armies under its name.
Of course, these armies were illegal, but Sang Country's authorities turned a blind eye.
There's even news saying many of Eight Gates Ninja's weapons and ammunition come from Sang Nation Military.
After the Second World War, Sang Country, as a defeated nation, was not allowed to maintain an army.
So, these underground armed groups became temporary training camps for Sang Nation Military.
These people are the most loyal soldiers.
With just one conscription order from Sang Nation Military, they change clothes and instantly become elite regular troops, ready to fight to the end for Sang Country.
This army is called the Ninja Army.
Like the Red Shirt Army, the Ninja Army is active in the international mercenary circle.
At the same time, the Ninja Army and the Red Shirt Army are mortal enemies.
Over the years, many Red Shirt Army members have died at the hands of the Ninja Army.
And many key figures of the Ninja Army have also fallen to the Red Shirt Army.
Shui Rou's quiet face turned extremely serious.
A squad of guards always followed Shui Rou.
Next to Shui Rou, Xiao Yaojing was wearing a camouflage suit, carrying a Barrett Heavy Sniper on her back.
If Shui Rou hadn't known about Xiao Yaojing's background before, she would have been shocked.
This woman, full of feminine charm, every move filled with allure, was actually a sniper?
At this moment, Xiao Yaojing was sitting cross-legged, applying a whitening mask to her face little by little.
This made many soldiers around glance over.
It was hard for everyone to imagine that under such immense pressure, in such a dangerous place, this woman was still applying a face mask.
Shui Rou glanced at Xiao Yaojing, muttering to herself.
Xiao Xuanya smiled sweetly as she stood up, the Barrett lazily slung across her back.
The rugged barrel contrasted strongly with Xiao Yaojing's graceful and soft figure.
In any view, a beautiful woman of such heavenly grace shouldn't be associated with the deadly weapon Barrett.
Who would have thought this beauty was actually a King Sniper?
This was what made Xiao Xuanya truly formidable.
Having finished applying her whitening mask, Xiao Xuanya saw Shui Rou still anxiously watching the opposite side, and she sighed.
"Stop looking, staring won't make the enemy leave. Here, let me apply a mask for you."
Shui Rou smiled wryly and shook her head.
"I don't have the mood you do."
"If the enemy captures Li Wang Town, not only will the Red Shirt Army suffer devastating blows, many Huaxia people will be mistakenly and wantonly killed."
Xiao Xuanya laughed as if she hadn't heard Shui Rou, walking gracefully over.
"Stop saying so much, if a woman dies, she should look beautiful. Let me apply the mask for you first."
Just as Shui Rou was about to protest, Xiu Xianya had already placed a whitening mask on her face, praising it as she applied.
"Tsk tsk, your face is really like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without further adornment. No wonder you refuse to use masks."
Shui Rou felt both amused and annoyed, she lowered her head, smiling softly.
"I come from a poor family; I can't afford such expensive masks."
She could tell at a glance that Xiao Yaojing was using high-end masks, with an impressive price.
A single set of cosmetics costing tens of thousands could even buy enough arms to equip a squad.
Xiao Xuanya laughed again.
"Women must treat themselves well, once old, no mask will be effective."
At this moment, the observer suddenly cried out.
"Tanks, they've actually deployed heavy tanks!"
Shui Rou was startled, quickly standing up.
She disregarded the mask on her face, rushing to the observation point.
Shui Rou grabbed the binoculars from the observer and looked ahead.
Sure enough, on the opposite shore, five tanks rumbled towards them.
The dark muzzles lined up pointing at the barricades on this side.
Shui Rou's heart dropped into an ice pit, cold and frozen.
She felt utterly powerless, slumping in front of the barricade, her mind in turmoil.
Hundreds of Red Shirt Army soldiers, no matter how brave, couldn't possibly resist tanks.
Under such colossal weapons, any resistance was futile.
The observer's expression also became very tense.
"Red-Shirt Girl, what do we do now?"
Shui Rou bit her lip: "Where did they get tanks?"
Xiao Xuanya walked gracefully over.
She took the binoculars from Shui Rou, looked for a moment, then smiled.
"No doubt these are borrowed from the American Garrison here; these Americans truly thrive on chaos."
As she said this, she noticed the mask on Shui Rou's face seemed about to fall off and promptly helped adjust it.
"Hold still, the mask is coming off."
Shui Rou, anxious and fiery, simply tore the mask off.
"At a time like this, who has the mood for masks, organize the demolition squad immediately."
Xiao Xuanya took Shui Rong's hand, smiling lazily.
"Why panic? Your message has already been passed to Yang Fei, and he's on his way here."
"The group with him can completely wipe out these ants, leaving no trace."
"Calm down, looking beautiful is what a woman should do."
Xiao Xuanya finished, applying Shui Rou's mask back on.
Shui Rou couldn't oppose her, sitting helplessly, praying in her heart.
Just then, the observer suddenly cursed angrily: "These bastards!"
Shui Rou looked up and saw several troops across the moat shouting insults at the town.
They unzipped their pants, urinating in the direction of the town, crude and provocative.
The observer, listening, translated for the two girls.
"They said they'll level this place, and..."
Here he glanced at Shui Rou and Xiao Xuanya, awkwardly stopping.
Though the observer didn't finish, Shui Rou and Xiao Xuanya understood what those guys meant.
Shui Rou's brows furrowed in anger.
Xiao Xuanya, however, laughed, standing up leisurely.
She casually took the Barrett Heavy Sniper from her shoulder.
