The panic in the Southern Empire does not belong to their family. At this moment, the other three empires also feel the panic. What's going on? How could the people from the Cao Family Trading Company suddenly become so powerful? They didn't before.
With such skills, in their opinion, the people of the Cao Family Trading Company are only good-mouthed and good at money. A local war is acceptable, but if it is a full-scale war, they cannot afford to lose. But what happened today made them
This idea has been put in my mind. This is a fact. They are not talking nonsense to you at all. If you go out and see the warships of Cao Family Trading Company and the army of Cao Family Trading Company, no matter where you look at it,
The Cao Family Trading Company now has the same power as the four major empires. To be more precise, the Cao Family Trading Company is now slightly stronger than the Western Empire, on par with the Northern Empire and the Southern Empire, but still weaker than the Western Empire.
Not the Eastern Empire, but this is just people's guess. The Eastern Empire is no match for the Cao Family Trading Company in local wars. This is certain.
In the past, if the people of the Southern Empire could suffer such a big loss, the three empires would definitely be very happy, but now they are not happy at all. It turns out that they knew that the Cao Family Trading Company was powerful, but
At most, it is at the same level as the four major sects. It is impossible to be similar to them. But all this now makes them dumbfounded. The power of the Cao Family Trading Company can actually attack hundreds of counties and cities at the same time. In the past, they
They also have this ability, but it is a hit-and-run method. Now that they have been fully occupied, they fight with soldiers, horses, money and food. These are things that the Cao Family Trading Company seems to have no shortage of. Over the years, the Cao Family Trading Company has continued to
The common people carry out contract processing business. Now their storage capacity of crossbow arrows is absolutely astronomical. A county can supply them with a large number of crossbow arrows every day. The shortage of crossbow arrows in the past will never happen now.
, every company commander will carry a space ring on his body, which is filled with crossbow arrows from the Cao Family Trading Company, so no matter how large-scale the battle is, they will be fine.
Early the next day, most of the armies of the Southern Empire had stopped resisting. Even some cities had received a lot of support, but now they were unable to resist. The Cao Family Trading Company's attack was too overwhelming.
It's amazing. It has no effect at all if people go up there. Look at the big holes in the city wall. Last night, the city wall of this county collapsed. This kind of thing surprised all of them.
No, they have never encountered such a thing before. They were not so clear when they saw this at night, but now when they see it, they are very glad that they chose to surrender. Look at the not so good ones next to them.
Quan's corpse, if you continue to resist, that will be the result. The people of the Cao Family Trading Company will definitely not be afraid of passing by with just a few shells. In their view, some things have to be like this before you can let them go.
Only fear can make you surrender. If it weren't for this reason, you definitely don't know how powerful we are.
The city lord and the general who defended the city led an army of about 30,000 people to the outside of the city to surrender. Behind them were millions of people. People from the Cao Family Trading Company had already begun to enter the city and were already stable in the city.
I came down and warned the people in the city that you can do whatever you did in the past, but those messy things must be put away. For example, those who dare to steal things at this time will be immediately abolished.
Yes, troubled times require severe punishments. Otherwise, you don’t know how the people of the Cao Family Trading Company treat you. This makes some people in the community feel very dissatisfied, but there is no other way. Give others Cao
The person from the merchant bank sent the money, but they refused to accept it. Not only did they confiscate the money, but they actually targeted the person who sent the money. This matter caused a big fuss. Before anything could be done, he was already in someone's trap.
list, which made them feel very uncomfortable.
In fact, Cao's Commercial Bank has its own reasons for doing this. One is that you can't act recklessly at the beginning. Just like now, you must not let these ghosts and snake gods come out to cause trouble. The society is not very stable in the first place. You all
If they run out again, the life of the common people will be even more difficult. Another is that the underground forces of the Cao Family Trading Company are going to start rectification. It is impossible for a city to have a dark side, because light and darkness are both
People in the city, but they must take this underground world into their own hands, otherwise these things will not be easy. Sometimes these things are looked down upon by the court, but the people of the Cao Family Trading Company
But you can see clearly that it must be properly organized.
The war lasted for about 36 hours, and the battle for the Cao Family Trading Company was coming to an end. If Li Cong was here at this time, he would definitely continue to attack. This wave of attacks must not be stopped, but now the frontline command
It's not Li Cong's. Wu Zuoxi has already issued an order to stop the attack. Li Cong is more adventurous when doing things. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have suffered a lot now. Wu Zuoxi is doing things.
He is more cautious. Now he has captured 604 counties and more than 3,000 county towns. Now the Cao Family Trading Company needs to stop and take a rest. This is the area occupied by the Cao Family Trading Company.
A very important stage, but just because the Cao Family Trading Company stopped, the Southern Empire's army retreated to a place 700 miles away from the coastline and settled down. What they needed at this time was to form a huge defense line.
Here they are going to have a showdown with the people from the Cao Family Trading Company again. Of course, this is what they say. What they are thinking in their hearts is that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company should not attack. You have already won.
We have a lot of territory. Can you have a good talk with us now? We will give up some interests and then make a truce with you. As for the four guys in the palace, they will be left directly to the people of the Southern Empire.
I got a note, rubbed oil on my feet and left.
This thing makes the God of Death very angry. Damn it, I brought them here, that is, they have been serving as worshipers of the Southern Empire for less than half a year, and all of them have run away. This kind of thing makes me cry.
, I have lost a lot of money, not to mention anything else. I just said that I spent a lot of money on the treatment of the third child. When the four of them came here, none of them was in good health.
, Damn, now that we have been raised one by one, we are leaving. At first, the four of you said that you would be ours for a hundred years, and you were scolded by the Supreme Emperor for this matter, but now you are
No need. Just throw yourself away. You guys have no feelings at all. This was definitely not the case when we treated you.
Those four guys also have their own ideas. They know that the Cao Family Trading Company has made such a big move, and part of it must be because of their four brothers. They also know how capable the Southern Empire is. This time
There is definitely not much progress to be made. If they don't leave quickly, they may catch them and they won't have a chance to escape. This is a very depressing thing for them, so they must hurry up.
Leave here. The few people you save have become their bargaining chips. You must know that the four of them are very powerful. But facing the Cao Family Trading Company and the Southern Empire, they are also powerless. If they are really defeated
If they are cheated, they can only be depressed for a while. Apart from this, they have no other way. Who told people in the Southern Empire that they don't believe in themselves at all? They already know this in Cao's Trading Firm.
This time they forced the Southern Empire, and next time they might do it themselves. They knew the Southern Empire's disastrous defeat in Fenxiang Valley very clearly. Who is Saber? He was much more powerful than them, but like that
People in Fenxiang Valley didn't take any advantage at all, and they were immediately dealt with. How could they be so virtuous and capable?
The God of Killing asked people to search the place where the four of them lived, but the last news reported to him was that nothing was left. There was simply no news at all. Such news immediately made the Killing God
The god ran away violently. Although he gave an order to the people below to find those four people, he himself also knew that if these tenth-level warriors wanted to run away, let alone the ordinary people below.
Even if he follows, he may not be able to keep those people behind. He is powerful, but there are four of them. Besides, what they want is to escape and not face the enemy with you. What can you do?
Leave them behind? This is why they are not afraid. No wonder some people say that it is impossible for a tenth-level warrior to catch him. What you want to do to a tenth-level warrior is best not to let him.
They know that otherwise you can't do anything. This is a level 10 warrior.
If there were these four people, the people of the Southern Empire could still quickly cooperate with the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, and even end the war quickly, but now there is no intention to cooperate at all, because these four people are no longer
existence, the Southern Empire feels that it must give the people of the Cao Family Trading Company a little more strength this time, letting them know that the empire is not something they can bully casually. The other three empires also secretly expressed their support. Of course, on the surface, they are not
Dare to do that, but the three major empires have supported tens of billions of money, just to let them fight more thoroughly. They also want to see the specific power of the Cao Family Trading Company, although the Southern Empire knows that they are here
You are just using yourself, but most of you are still valuable now. If you wait until you have no use value, it will be really helpless. These bastards are all smart. If you are useful, they will take a fancy to you.
, if it doesn’t work, then...
The Southern Empire government first issued a very strongly worded statement, and people said that this matter is actually not that simple. This is a provocation by the Cao Family Trading Company against the central government of the Southern Empire against their great emperor. This is also a challenge to their great emperor.
Due to the provocation of all the people of the Southern Empire, the Southern Empire is in a state of war with the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. All the properties of the Cao Family Trading Company in the Southern Empire have been seized. All debts with the Cao Family Trading Company have not been repaid now. If the Cao Family Trading Company
If the people know their mistakes and can retreat, everything can still be discussed. If the people of the Cao Family Trading Company still occupy the territory of the Southern Empire, then the Southern Empire will not rule out using military force to get back what belongs to them.
Because the Southern Empire has assembled an army of more than 1 billion and is preparing for a full-scale attack. The number of this army has almost accounted for one-third of the Southern Empire's standing army. This is already a large number.
Generally speaking, such strong-worded things should be said by people from the Cao Family Trading Company. Who knows that this time it is replaced by the Southern Empire. They think very simply. Maybe the Cao Family Trading Company is also afraid, and they may immediately
If the money is waived and the land of the Southern Empire is finally allocated to them, the Cao Family Trading Company will retreat at that time, because they do not have the ability to continue fighting with the Southern Empire. As long as they can win some victories on the battlefield
, then the three major empires will help him. At that time, they will also risk their own financial crisis and plan to uproot the entire Cao family business. At that time, there is no need to be afraid of them. The three major empires have already done this.
We have negotiated with the people from the Southern Empire, but the contract has not been signed yet.
The challenge faced by the Cao Family Trading Company this time is also very severe. This is the first time that a full-scale war has broken out with an empire. This is also something that Li Cong has always wanted to avoid but wanted to try in his heart. It is really because of the current situation.
The Cao Family Commercial Bank is already too huge and it is impossible to continue to stay there. If it continues to stay there, the Cao Family Commercial Bank will not be able to escape from the current bottleneck and must open up new territory.
Building an empire may be what is needed now, but whether it can be successful or not is still hard to say.
On the map, the Southern Empire has opened a defense line about 3,000 miles long. This defense line was built with more than 190 cities. About 500 million troops were invested in it, which sounds like a lot. But on average,
There aren't many, and the people from the Cao Family Trading Company don't seem to be planning to continue the attack. The people from the Cao Family Trading Company seem to be preparing to set up camp there. In other words, the people from the Cao Family Trading Company feel very good now.
, it is enough for them to achieve the current results. Even the people from the Eastern Empire Military Headquarters feel that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company have reached the limit of their attack. If they continue to attack, their front may be
The pull was too long. Indeed, for the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, it is indeed a very unwise behavior for them to continue the attack before the second batch of troops has been delivered. Moreover, the defense strength of the Southern Empire is
It has already begun to intensify. If we continue to attack, the casualties will definitely increase rapidly. The Cao Family Trading Company will never increase its casualties. They are not fools.
At the same time, the government of the Southern Empire began to call on the residents occupied by the Cao Family Trading Company to stand up against their brutal rule and let them form their own army. Anyone who could regain the city where they lived could immediately become the city lord.
, this kind of thing brought a lot of trouble to the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, but after two days of bloody suppression, these people became honest. When they saw the heads hanging on the city gate building,
Each one has lost its original appearance. It looks like a blood gourd. At the beginning, there was still blood dripping, but now there is no blood. In the past few days, there is no blood left.
They have been dried, and they will probably not be taken down until they turn into white bones. Then there are some Huairong policies. Some poor people in the city can get part of the food and work for the Cao family business.
Opportunities are the same as before in the Eastern Empire. Now they have learned how to deal with the common people in the occupied areas, which is very good.
The Cao Family Trading Company's first batch of about 11 million troops have all been used on the blade. Now they are overloaded. It is impossible to want them to do other things.
, for them, this is their limit. Things like this and that can be said to use up their strength, but now there are other things to do, and that is to clean up. This city is with
The county seat and other things were occupied, but there were still a large number of remaining Southern Empire troops in their occupied area. They all went to the countryside below, and some even ran into the deep mountains and old forests. Each of them
If you have your own ideas, the Southern Empire will fight back sooner or later. You have to persist now. When the fight comes back, those who insist on resisting will become the heroes of the entire empire. At that time, they were not the official positions they are now.
If it suits your status, it will definitely be higher.
These people occupy most of the countryside. They also have a lot of troops in their hands, so they must all be killed. Otherwise, if these people instigate some common people who do not know the truth to cause trouble, it will be very difficult for Cao Cao.
The rule of the family business houses is also a very bad thing, so part of the limited military strength must be used to carry out the purge. In addition, about 7 million people must be dispatched from several other imperial military camps to disperse them to some more important ones.
In the transportation stronghold, only in this way can the rule of the Cao Family Trading Company be strengthened. If anything happens, they can rush over as soon as possible to prevent the spark of resistance from becoming bigger. As long as the Cao Family Trading Company
If they can persist in this, it will be impossible for them to grow.
Hu Changhai is a soldier who wants to go down to clean up. Like the soldiers here, he is a marine of the Cao Family Trading Company. He used to want to be a navy, but it is a pity that the navy did not take it and turned into
He became a member of the Marine Corps. A very important reason is that his shooting is very accurate. Generally speaking, if ten crossbow arrows can kill two or three enemies, it is considered good, but for Hu Changhai, this is the most accurate.
It's a simple matter. At a standard distance, he can kill more than six enemies with ten crossbows. In the battle in the Eastern Empire's capital, he had achieved 100% accuracy. This record has only been confirmed by the Army until now.
The other brother was defeated, but there are more people here, and the conditions are much better than the original conditions. Under the same conditions, this guy's ability is still the best among the Cao family's merchant army, so those who are with him
Soldiers will show off to their comrades that their squad leader is a Silver Star medalist. Although he is still a squad leader, even their regiment leader will salute when he sees him, because he once served in a military academy, and many of them
All the group leaders have studied with him, and the instructor is their instructor at all times.
Although Hu Changhai has many officer apprentices, this guy does not have that much pride. He knows that if he wants to be an officer, he must go to that military academy to study. Although he is an instructor in the military academy, he does not
Those who are literate, the gentlemen in the army have taught them a lot of knowledge. Unfortunately, I really don’t have the brains. Some of the things I learned yesterday I basically don’t remember at all today. This is fundamental.
You can't be an officer, but you can be very good as a soldier in this army. Just like you are now, you are already a sergeant major. This is nothing. So many officers will salute you when they see you.
Yes, according to the internal rules of the army, my salary is the same as that of the battalion commander, thirty taels of silver a month. This allows my whole family to live happily. Apart from this, as long as I am on the battlefield,
It's a double salary. As long as his apprentice can achieve any results, he will use part of it to honor his master. It's a good life.
"Lao Hu, your task today is to lead the second class and your class to this location. Our intelligence officer said that the original county magistrate came to this place with about a hundred government officials to dominate the mountain.
, they also often harass the people, and even some of our grain transport vehicles have encountered some troubles from them. It is not very serious, but if we continue to let it go, our life will not be easy, so you are ordered to go
Eliminate them." The company commander came over with the mission and said. The standard configuration of the two squads is twenty soldiers. For the soldiers of the Cao Family Trading Company, one to ten is basically their battle loss ratio.
It used to be that they could do this in one class. This was because most of the second class were newcomers who had just come from the training camp, so they didn't have much experience on the battlefield. The company commander arranged this in order to be able to
Let the people in class two learn.
"Okay, company commander, don't worry. I can definitely do this well. Those rookies in the second class should also practice on the battlefield. In fact, I think their basic knowledge is good, but they lack a little courage.
, we were all like this when we first came out. Seeing blood is a good thing for them. It is always much better than before." Hu Changhai glanced at the ten soldiers of the second squad and said,
The warriors in this class basically change once a month, and they all come to learn from me. Originally, I was very happy with this, but starting from last month, people from both classes actually learned from me.
It's like the current situation. I am the squad leader of the first squad, but except for the squad leader, everyone else in the second squad is a recruit. The squad leader of the second squad is the soldier I led a few months ago. I have to become two
He is now the monitor of the class, but the one who is capable works harder, and the rewards given to him by the superiors are also quite large.
"Haha, Lao Hu, you also know. The current recruits are like this. At the beginning, there were a lot of people who wanted to report and follow you. This is because I got a lot of them now, and the above also
There is no way, some monitors are either very capable, but they don't know how to teach others, or they can only take care of themselves. It's not possible for newcomers, so you can do anything here, but you can do it here.
Taking care of the new recruits will also allow you to kill more enemies. The new recruits who follow you will also be good in other places. If I don’t squeeze you out of this kind of person, I would be really sorry for myself. This matter is
Very good, don't worry, if these new recruits are trained this time, I will treat you to a drink." The company commander patted his shoulder and said. The others looked at this guy with envy, this company commander wanted to
I'm trying to flatter you. Why can't such a thing happen to them? In fact, they all want such a thing, but they are helpless. They don't have the ability to match others. They haven't learned it here yet, so it's even worse.
Not to mention how many disciples the group leader has.
"Okay, company commander, don't worry. I know how to bring them there and how to bring them back. I can't live without squeezing each one of them. I will definitely drink your wine in the evening, brother.
Let's set off." Hu Changhai looked at the soldiers around him with a smile and said. The twenty soldiers checked their equipment and then set off. The distance was still thirty miles, so the army vehicles sent them away.
In the past, we would put them down when they were about to arrive. Generally speaking, we couldn't let them waste more energy on the road. It was just a matter of spending more money.
The means of transportation used by the Cao Family Trading Company for the Army and Marine Corps are horse-drawn carriages and airships. For long distances, they are airships, and for short distances, they are horse-drawn carriages. These things can be said to be very good, but of course they are not needed if they are cavalry.
These things, cavalry can use their own horses to travel. Cavalry is needed for things like attack, but it is not needed for things like clearing up. The cavalry is a very big target. If they go very far,
You can see them wherever you go. Don't say you're going to wipe them out when you get there. It's just that they have problems with their own heads.
Twenty people fit into a carriage, which was covered with thick canvas or something. If ordinary people fired arrows, it would be impossible to hurt the people inside. Otherwise, all the sheds would be opened.
, this way you can also look at some of the surrounding areas. There are four horses pulling in front. They are not very good horses, but their endurance is still very good. Follow the two grooms, and they will stop outside.
Then find a place to hide, and wait until these people are wiped out, then you can bring them back. It can be said that they have done this many times, and sometimes the coachman will be killed. Such things
It is something that cannot be avoided. Since they are on the battlefield, they should have such a consciousness, and they have been told not to come to the front line. It is not a bad thing to stay in the back. If they hide dishonestly,
, it was their own fault that they were killed.
Soon the carriage was almost at the place. Hu Changhai took a look outside, stood up and said to the people in the car, "Brothers, we have arrived at the place where we are about to clear up. According to the intelligence, there are about a hundred or ten of them.
Occupying a village, there were originally more than 300 people in the village. Now their armed force should have 200 people, but half of them are people from this village. They have not received any training, and they have
They may not be willing to be their soldiers. When you go out later, do as I say. We may end the battle quickly. Remember, to deal with these defeated people, attacking the heart is always the most important thing.
Don't rush into things, just check your equipment, and you'll be down in a while." Seeing that a few new recruits were a little nervous, Hu Changhai did not comfort them. He meant to tell them that, in fact, now
It's already a battlefield, and you have fought before. You are no longer recruits. I treat you the same as I treat veterans. This has improved the psychological quality of several recruits a lot. This is all the experience he has summed up.
, if you don’t treat new recruits as new recruits on the battlefield, they don’t need to be so restrained.
Soon the car arrived at the predetermined place. This was the war zone. They couldn't go in. Twenty soldiers got out quickly. They all brought food and their own blankets. No one knew what was going on.
At the end of the war, what they are now looks like a modern army. When the soldiers in the Southern Empire's army went to the battlefield, they only carried their own weapons and nothing else. These are the things for eating and sleeping.
They are all carried by specialized people. This has caused serious expenses for the Southern Empire army. Not only do you have to prepare a supply of food for the soldiers, but also for those who come to work.
In this way, the cost of one trip is doubled. Although the migrant workers who transport things do not need to prepare so much, they should still have one share anyway. This is a more important thing. They must be accounted for.
Yes, when the Cao Family Trading Company's army first came out, many people thought it was not good to carry those things. However, after a period of time, they found that not only could they train their soldiers, but they could even save their own expenses. But they did not do such a thing.
Everyone who thought of it was surprised that Li Cong thought of such a method.
What appeared in front of Hu Changhai and the others was a piece of farmland. About 2,000 meters away was their destination. Hu Changhai waved his hand and the two squads dispersed. They would never advance in a dense formation. If
If the enemy ambushes them in the farmland or somewhere, they may tell them that they are here. Only fools would do that. Unfortunately, they are not fools.
The battle formation is similar to that of some armies on Earth. Basically, a squad has six people in the front and four people in the back. After forming a battle formation, there will be one person around to guard. As long as the squad leader does not speak, even if there is danger behind him, there will be no danger.
If you can turn back, you must ensure the safety of the front. This is what they learned in the military academy. At first, they felt that this thing cannot be done, but later they saw that it was correct.
, it is precisely because of this that trusting your back to your comrades can make them live a better life one by one.
At this moment, in a farmland next to the village, several government officials are playing cards here. They used to live a good life in the county town, but who knew that people from the Cao Family Trading Company suddenly came, and they will never forget it.
What happened that day, what a good guy, a cannonball blew open the city gate, and thousands of troops ran away without even farting. Their county magistrate also ran away with the army. They thought
To follow them, it is a pity that they have not trained themselves in normal times. The army's escape speed is too fast. It is impossible for them to catch up, so they all stay, but they cannot continue.
They stayed in the county town, so they had no choice but to come to this place now. There are more than a hundred government officials in this small mountain village. They have ruined enough of the people here. They are reluctant to eat poultry and so on, and suddenly there is nothing.
Now, the older girl and younger daughter-in-law have suffered a lot. It can be said that the people in the village hate them and have wanted to resist for a long time. However, they have gathered all the young and strong labor force in the village. It is said that
What kind of training is it to separate the people in the village, so that even if they want to rebel, they will not have the strength. In addition, they are usually very powerful, and no one dares to do anything to them for a while.
, let them continue to dominate here.
In the past, they had a lot of entertainment projects in the county. I didn't expect that after arriving here, there would be nothing. As for the women, there were only a few, so they could only play cards or something. Today
There were five of them on duty here, which was nothing to do originally, but someone told one of them that the one who wanted to lose the bet should go on duty while the rest played here. They also thought this was a good idea, although
They all have a lot of money on their hands, but in a place like this, money is like rubbish and of no use at all. Even tens of thousands of taels of silver here are the same, and they can’t spend it. Check out what’s on sale here.
What? There is nothing, so they no longer play with money, they can only play this job.
None of these people have much fighting power or vigilance at all. At first, there was one person who looked into the distance from time to time, but now there is no one left. They are all shouting here. Listen to them.
You can tell where they are by the sound of their voices. If this is exposed, under Hu Changhai's soldiers, there is no way they can survive or pass. Hu Changhai has already discovered them and has begun to outflank them.
In fact, he was too cautious. If he hadn't looked around just now, he would have solved them by now. The main reason was that Hu Changhai felt that there were only 200 people in them, so why did they only send five people? In fact,
The county magistrate was also helpless. He didn't have much authority when he got here. If these government officials hadn't been looking for a backbone one by one, he might not have needed it. There were still many objections to calling five people on duty.
So there is no one else around at all. You used to give us the salary. Of course you are our boss. What do you have now? It’s not like we have nothing, although you always said that the court will come back.
, but who knows whether this is true or false? What will happen if you don’t come back? Aren’t we going to be in bad luck with you?
"There are five people inside. Two people are watching one. Kill them as soon as possible. This place is still about 1,000 meters away from the village. The sound should not be able to pass through, so it doesn't matter if you move louder, but you must kill them all.
After we kill them, we must not let them escape. If we let them escape, our mission will become a strong attack. Now we are all optimistic about our goals. If my hand falls, I will attack." Hu Changhai glanced over there.
Xiao Shulin said, his people have already started to take action, if they still can't be killed, it will be his own problem.
The few people who were still playing cards didn't feel anything was wrong at all. These guys were all shouting over there. Little did they know that the danger had already come, and they all wanted to go back.
What are you going to kill in the future? How could you feel the murderous aura coming from a distance? You don't have any alertness at all.
