Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1059 I can’t hold it anymore

Asanogawa glanced at his pocket watch and frowned. Time was running out. The workers' riot was about to reach the Imperial Palace, but the situation here was getting worse.

There was a cold gleam in his eyes.

"Suppress with force!" Asanogawa suddenly ordered, "Disperse these ignorant little devils!"

The captain behind him hesitated and took a step forward: "Lord Asano..."

“Just say what you mean.”

"If we start a massacre of the students," the captain lowered his voice, "I'm afraid it will arouse resistance among the people of Kyoto. These are all descendants of famous families. Once..."

Asanogawa closed his eyes and fell into a brief contemplation. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and said in a cold voice: "No need to shoot."

The wing commander breathed a sigh of relief.

"Use military sticks," Asanogawa continued, his eyes sharp, "teach these ignorant little devils a lesson. Disperse them, and beat those who can't move so they won't cause trouble again."

He paused and added, "Also, arrest all the leaders. Especially the female student named Nako and Kawamura. Don't let any of them go."

"Understood!" The corps commander stood at attention and saluted.

"Remember," Asanogawa's voice became even colder, "Don't beat them to death, but don't be soft-hearted either. Let them know what the price of resistance is."

The commander turned and left, and began to arrange the operation. Asanogawa looked at the students who were still shouting "justice" and sneered.

When these chosen ones experience the pain of the flesh, they will know what reality is. As for those human bombs... let the spies deal with them. Right now, time is running out, and we must solve the trouble here as soon as possible.

"Yasui-kun," Asanogawa turned and walked towards the car, "I'll leave this place to you."

"Don't worry," said An Jingxu coldly, "I will teach these ignorant brats a lesson."

Asanogawa nodded and got into the car. Another regiment quickly assembled and followed his convoy, rushing towards the area where the workers were rioting.

Yasui Asahi watched Asanogawa leave, then turned to the student group with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Put down your guns!" he ordered, "Pick up your batons!"

The soldiers put their rifles on their backs in unison and drew their short sticks from their waists. The steel sticks shone coldly in the sun.

“Go! Hit me!”

Following Yasui Asahi's order, the soldiers rushed towards the student team like a tide.

"boom!"

"what!"

"Help!"

The military sticks fell mercilessly on the young bodies, and screams came one after another. Those students who were pampered on weekdays had never experienced such pain.

"Catch the leader!" Yasui Asahi commanded, "Where is the female student named Nako?"

Kawamura desperately protected Nako: "Run! Don't let them catch you!"

But the army's encirclement was tightening rapidly, and the students' team was broken up. Some were knocked to the ground, some fled desperately, and some cried bitterly.

Those human bombs still wanted to threaten, but the spies had already sneaked into the crowd, ready to strike at the right time.

Yasui Xu watched all this with cold eyes. This is the price of resistance, and these students should also taste the bitterness.

The streets were filled with screams and the dull thud of military clubs hitting people. The once orderly parade fell apart in the face of violence.

"Kill!"

“Protect the students!”

“Down with the thugs!”

Suddenly, a large number of people emerged from the streets and alleys in all directions, holding long knives, iron rods, and blades, and roared as they rushed towards the army.

Some of these people were dressed in samurai uniforms, while others were dressed in black. They were obviously the elite of various gangs. Their eyes flashed with murderous intent, and every move they made was filled with murderous intent.

"Brothers!" a samurai leader shouted, "These students are brave warriors who petition for us. We must not let them be humiliated!"

"Kill these lackeys!" The gang members waved their weapons, "Let them see how powerful we are!"

An Jingxu's face changed drastically: "What's going on? Where did these people come from?"

The army's formation was disrupted in an instant. These desperate criminals didn't care about life or death at all, and rushed into the soldiers waving their weapons. The steel batons collided with the swords, making a harsh metallic sound.

"Ah!" A soldier fell down with a scream, his thigh being cut.

"Kill!" A gang leader with scars on his face swung his knife at another soldier's neck.

"Protect the students!" The warriors formed a human wall and protected the injured students behind them. "With us here, who dares to touch them?"

The students who had been dispersed gathered together again, some were terrified, some were excited.

"See!" Nako shouted, "Even the samurai and the gangs are on our side! We are the side of justice!"

An Jingxu gritted his teeth: "Damn it! These people came prepared!" He hurriedly ordered: "Form a line! Form a line! Don't mess around!"

But it was too late, the streets had already turned into a chaotic battlefield. Although the gang members and samurai were outnumbered by the army, they were all desperate criminals with amazing fighting power.

Blood began to flow on the streets, screams were heard one after another. This originally one-sided suppression had turned into a life-and-death street fight.

At first, the army was able to barely control the situation thanks to its strict formation and well-trained troops.

But new gang members kept pouring out of the streets, in groups of three or five, and soon formed fighting groups in every corner. In just over ten minutes, the number of gang members participating in the battle exceeded 5,000.

"kill!"

“Kill these bastards!”

"Brothers, charge!"

The gang members rushed forward desperately. When someone was knocked down, the people behind him immediately took up the blame. The army's formation began to crack, and some soldiers were scattered and engaged in street fighting.

"Captain!" A lieutenant colonel ran over with blood on his face. "It's no use! We can't hold on any longer!"

The captain's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked at the chaotic battlefield: "Damn, where did these people come from! "

"We must use hot weapons!" the lieutenant colonel said anxiously, "otherwise our casualties will increase! More than 30 soldiers have been injured!"

A scream was heard on the street, and another soldier was chopped to the ground. The fighting power of the gang members was far beyond expectations. These people usually fought and killed, and they were not afraid of death at all.

"Report!" A lieutenant ran over, "The western defense line has been breached! At least two thousand gang members are outflanking us!"

The captain gritted his teeth and said, "But Lord Asano said..."

"It's too late!" the lieutenant colonel interrupted, "If this continues, the entire regiment will collapse! These people really dare to kill people!"

The situation on the street became increasingly critical, and the army was completely at a disadvantage. The gang members and the samurai worked in harmony, protecting the students while launching a fierce attack on the army.

The commander looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He knew that once he ordered to shoot, the situation would be completely out of control. But if he didn't shoot, the entire regiment might be swallowed up.
