<h4>Chapter 1898: Chapter 1999: Strike Hard at the Right Target</h4>
Arriving at the base, everyone was on high alert, aware of the enemy invasion. At this moment, they had to take on their responsibilities.
Seeing their determined faces, Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Brothers, don’t be impulsive. These two groups have advanced weapons. If we sh with them head-on, we’ll suffer. We’re not refusing to resist; the time is just not right yet."
Though some were disappointed, they all nodded in agreement.
Just as Xiang Yu was giving his speech, suddenly a gunshot rang out in the distance, followed immediately by a flurry of gunfire.
Xiang Yu knew the battle had already begun. He looked at the soldiers before him and said, "Everyone stays here on standby. Without my orders, no one goes out."
After saying this, Xiang Yu hurriedly left with Xiao Xuan. They arrived at a rooftop not far from the battlefield.
From here, they could get a full view of the battlefield.
Just as the two walked up, they suddenly found two people aiming sniper rifles at them.
"Be careful." Xiao Xuan shouted without thinking and shielded Xiang Yu.
By then, Xiang Yu’s dagger had already flown out. Before the opponents could fire, the dagger had already pierced their necks.
Xiao Xuan wiped off a cold sweat. By now, he was holding a pistol, but he wasn’t as quick as Xiang Yu.
"Sometimes a gun isn’t as useful as a dagger," Xiang Yu chuckled and said.
Xiao Xuan nodded, then stepped forward to pull out the dagger, wiped off the blood on the opponents, and handed it back to Xiang Yu.
If Xiang Yu got hurt here, Tie Zhuzi would undoubtedly grumble at him again.
By now, fighting had already broken out on the street ahead, with dense gunfire echoing throughout the city.
In the middle of the street was a convoy, firing back from inside their vehicles, while Blood Alliance members were hidden in the buildings on either side.
The Blood Alliance had the geographical advantage, so they initially had the upper hand.
"Bro, who do you think will win?" Xiao Xuan asked, holding a sniper rifle.
Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "It’s hard to say now, there are too many variables, plus we don’t know what their weaponry is like."
Just as Xiang Yu finished speaking, several rocketunchers extended from the vehicles, firing at the buildings on both sides.
The power of the rockets was immense, with one shell capable of destroying half a building, burning the Blood Alliance members inside like roasted pigs.
Seeing the opponents using such weapons, the Blood Alliance refused to be outdone and also pulled out rocketunchers to fire at the vehicles below.
Although these vehicles were bulletproof, they couldn’t withstand the rocketunchers.
Watching the intense scene in the distance, Xiang Yu felt a pang of heartbreak. After all, this was his city, inhabited by his people.
Now it was all being destroyed by these bastards. He angrily punched the wall in front of him, drawing blood from his hand.
"Bro, it’s not your fault," Xiao Xuan said.
Xiang Yu remained silent, continuing to watch the battle ahead.
No matter how this war turned out, Xiang Yu and his group would ultimately lose because the battlefield was right here.
This exchange of firested about ten minutes. Both sides’ buildings were in ruins, and half of the vehicles below were destroyed.
The vehicles were well-built, and although hit by rockets, they didn’t explode but were overturned on the roadside. The people inside were likely dead too.
Both sides suffered heavy losses, and the gunfire gradually subsided.
The vehicles in the middle began to slowly retreat, as they realized the attackers on both sides weren’t local armed forces but the Blood Alliance, having underestimated them.
The Blood Alliance members also hadn’t anticipated the opponents’ fierce resistance, nor had they expected the vehicles to have rocketunchers.
"Bro, look, they’re nning to retreat," Xiao Xuan quickly said.
Indeed, the vehicles in the middle slowly began to retreat, hindered by the many vehicles already scrapped, making their speed slow.
The Blood Alliance wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by. Their attacks became more intense, and some had already started running out from the buildings.
If these people withdrew from this street, they’d likely miss their chance.
The military also realized this. As long as they retreated from this street, they’d escape the encirclement, making retreat or confrontation less passive.
Since the military’s vehicles were bulletproof, their retreat, although slow, eventually took them out of the street.
After retreating, they didn’t rush to leave but arrogantly lined up, seemingly taunting the Blood Alliance members.
The Blood Alliance members harbored a grudge, having meticulously nned only to face such resilience from the opponents.
To retreat now would be aughingstock, and although the Blood Alliance often disregarded face, today they’d vowed to take down the enemies.
They began walking out of the buildings, seeking cover outside to attack.
Some military personnel also got out of their vehicles, fighting back tenaciously.
Seeing the military disembark excited the Blood Alliance, intensifying their assault.
At the same time, a radio on Xiang Yu and Xiao Xuan’s rooftop came to life.
"Snipers, ready, start shooting!" someone shouted over the radio.
Xiang Yu and Xiao Xuan exchanged a nce, a wave of unexinable excitement in their eyes.
Xiao Xuan handed his sniper rifle to Xiang Yu, then got up to fetch another.
"Let’s do it, Xiao Xuan," Xiang Yu said, raising the sniper rifle and firing at the military.
For these people, there’s no need for mercy. Even though the opponents were military, they didn’t treat the locals as humans. Besides, the gun he was holding now belonged to the Blood Alliance.
Shot after shot, each a headshot.
Beside him, Xiao Xuan couldn’t help but pause to look at Xiang Yu, saying, "Bro Yu, you’re still as sharp as ever."
"Not old yet," Xiang Yu smiled, then fired another shot.
At this moment, the Blood Alliance leader was watching from a building above, clearly seeing the distant soldiers fall one by one, excitedly shouting into the radio.
"Good, well done, keep it up. You two are improving," heughed heartily.
He knew these snipers weren’t usually this urate, surprisingly performing above expectations today.
"Xiao Xuan, inform our brothers to set up an ambush around the area," Xiang Yu said coldly.
Xiao Xuan was filled with boiling blood. Initially, it seemed they had no role in this war, but now it seemed there was still hope.
He quickly ryed the orders for support to surround the area but to remain cautious and await further instructions.
Meanwhile, the military personnel also recognized the snipers and started firing back toward Xiang Yu’s location.
Xiao Xuan brought over two radios, giving one to Xiang Yu, and they set up a separate channel formunication.
Once ready, they each changed positions and continued shooting...
