Soon the entire 131 regiment surrounded the place. Many people inside showed very scared expressions. They all knew the consequences of those who resisted falling into the hands of the Cao Family Trading Company. Of course,
This is secondary. The main thing is what these people do in normal times. If people from the Cao Family Trading Company find out afterwards, they will not be able to take advantage of them and will definitely be punished.
When they were killed, they brought some of their close relatives with them when they came out. Didn't the county guard say that as long as they could persist for three days, reinforcements would come from the provincial capital?
If you can come together inside and outside, you can eat up all the troops of the Cao family trading company. This means that they are the ones who don't understand the formality. If some people outside who often travel around know this, let alone the Southern Empire at this time.
Any reinforcements, even if there are any, how many are appropriate? If there are few, they are probably the prisoners of the Cao Family Trading Company. If there are more, where do they get them from? Now the Cao Family Trading Company is launching a massive attack again.
, and there are more than a dozen counties and cities at once. The city lords are either trying to get an army for themselves, or they are trying hard to recruit new soldiers. How could anyone send people out? Unless someone with a problem in their mind would do this.
, even if they have brain problems, how can their men piece together an army of more than 100,000 people? Moreover, they all know that a division of troops captured this place. A division of 80,000 people, according to the ratio,
If nearly two million troops had not come over, it would have been absolutely impossible to resist the attack of the Cao Family Trading Company. No matter how much they came, they would only disappear. There is no one to do such a thing. It would be too costly.
"Brothers, maybe we didn't know each other before, maybe we had some festivals before, but today, right here, right in my house, this is our last battlefield.
, we have no retreat. Normally, I feel that my place is not small. But today, don’t you all feel that it is not big enough? But such a small place is the last rope for our survival. As long as
If we can persist for more than three days, we will be reborn. I have already got the news. The bastard City Lord has surrendered. As long as we persist for three days, the court will definitely arrest the City Lord's people.
Beheaded. And we will all be the heroes of the imperial court, and the rewards given to us must be very large. What I want you to know is this matter. As long as you are willing to contribute, I can see it. Those things in the past
I can give you all the official positions without hope. We have more than ten thousand people. It is not enough to defend a city, but a mansion like this is more than enough. We have food and water sources.
They are all enough, enough to last two months, and our weapons and equipment are also enough. Now let’s see if we all have the courage, because we are all improvised, so I must announce
There are several odds. The first one is, I don’t care what you did before. Now you are a soldier. The second one is, if anyone dares to flirt with people outside, don’t blame me for the sword. The third one is who.
Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy." The county magistrate said loudly inside. The words from the front sounded good, but the words from the back were uncomfortable to listen to. Why did this place look like a bandit den?
Liu Heiqi used to be the boss of the largest club in the city. He came in with his 7,000 iron rods. It turned out that he had 20,000 men, and all of his men were vicious. These
Almost all of his subordinates have died. When the people from the Cao family business came, he had no choice. It can be said that his original backstage was Jun Cheng. Without the care of this guy in the past, it would have been impossible to get along well.
, now that he has entered here, he clearly knows that there will be no reinforcements. The Cao Family Trading Company’s troops outside are already ready to attack at any time. Although the Jun Cheng said it nicely, Liu Heiqi is a very good person.
He didn't want to come in. His people had already prepared a secret passage. They would leave the city from that place. But now this is the situation. At that time, the county magistrate called him
A thousand troops looked at their own people and had to enter this place. At that time, I had no other choice but to bring my people here. It was really not good to make such a fuss, but it was also
There is no other way. If he doesn't do this, what else can he do? Will he be killed by those people at that time? Now that he has entered this house, he finally understands that this old guy is also doing something underground.
It’s just that he hasn’t started working on his tunnel yet. It will take three days. Damn it, isn’t this nonsense? Ask the brothers to use their heads to buy you three days. I really don’t know what is in your mind.
What is it? Wanting to get out is not that simple. Liu Heiqi looked at the Cao Family Trading Company's troops outside again. He also knew that going out to surrender would not bring good results. Can he find a way to save his life at this time?
.
"Commander, should we persuade you to surrender first? Maybe the people inside are unwilling to fight? This is all possible. I think they are all a little scared. If we can really get them out, we
Can we win without fighting again?" The leader of the 131st Regiment next to him looked at the panicked crowd inside and said. The three-meter-high wall can be said to be of no use at all. The artillery camp of the Cao Family Trading Company is already
Several mortars have been installed. According to the establishment of the Cao family business, a platoon of thirty people will have a super serial crossbow and a mortar. These mortars are all small-caliber. The main reason is to consider
When it comes to transportation, there are no trains or anything like that in this era. All transportation depends on the manpower of these people, so some things are not that simple. Sometimes when you go too far, you may drop some cannonballs or something.
For some, the leader's words were also out of good intentions. Look at the nice courtyard inside. The people inside are probably a group of very wealthy people. If they were all killed, there would probably be trouble inside.
This is not how we live when we don’t have any money. Didn’t the people above tell us about the cost issue? As long as there is a war, there will be expenses. War is the last way to solve the problem. Now if
If we can really win without fighting, everything will be best. These people can also dig out a lot of treasures. This is a win-win move for them. Such a thing is for everyone.
These are all very happy things, but Zhang Pu was obviously dissatisfied when the regiment leader put forward these words at this time. Damn it. There hasn't been a war since the beginning of the war. How can we train the army without fighting, and the economic accounts are also bad.
That's not how it's calculated.
"These people still need to be persuaded to surrender? Do you really think that all our people are fine? I heard that the leader of the society inside is called Liu Heiqi. Just now, someone from the city lord's palace came to tell me.
This guy's main business is loan sharking. There must be at least dozens of people killed by this guy in this city. None of these guys care about the lives of ordinary people, so we won't
If you need to say anything to them, just tell me to just rush in. Besides, do you really think these people will put down their weapons? These people are stubbornly resisting, and they will never surrender so easily.
If they had that idea, they probably wouldn't be ready to start a fight now. Don't complain about something as simple as this. You are a soldier after all. I don't know what's going on in your mind even if you complain about these things.
What is it? Many times it is not as simple as you think. Our division has never fought anything since the beginning. None of the current soldiers have seen what a real war is like. But what you said is true.
It makes sense. You can fire a few mortars. Don't be too powerful. It would be best if they can all come out and surrender to us. If not, let me kill them directly, and also call in people from other divisions.
Show me, we are definitely not that easy to fool, we are all warriors, not those guys who are responsible for negotiation." Zhang Pu said, the group leader next to him is also the head of the store, it is true.
In this way, so many people in their entire division wanted to have a real battle with real swords and guns. Several officers nearby also immediately concentrated their mortars. It is better to use this thing concentratedly.
The people inside have never been to the front line, so they naturally don’t know what the row of things in front of them is. In their opinion, the attackers outside need to put ladders and other things, and there are no boxes on the other side of the gate.
They were all killed by turning their heads or something. It’s no different from the wall. It would be strange if you could open it from there. Now if you don’t attack quickly, what are you waiting for? County
Cheng was still shouting hard, hoping that these people could create more time. It wouldn't take long. His housekeeper had already said just now that the place was almost open. It wouldn't take long.
You can go out from here, leading to a mountain outside the city. Someone was doing this in the past, but because there were no large-scale wars, it was useless. Unexpectedly, it is used now.
A dozen level five warriors are digging hard inside. At this time, if ordinary people use it, it will probably take a few days. If they use these level five warriors, it will only take a few hours. Now it is estimated that
We have already reached the city gate. As long as we can hold on for a few hours, we can go out. We can even go out with the gold and silver under our hands. Over the years, we have plundered land worth tens of millions of dollars.
, if all this is not transported out, I will not have a foothold even in the capital. I have done a very good job in these years. I cannot live the same life as ordinary people in the second half of my life. I must do this.
It's better. As for these people in front of me, whether they are Liu Heiqi's people or his own bodyguards, I'm sorry. You all have to die here. I can't get out without your lives.
"The division commander has ordered that the first round of bombardment begins, two bases, let go." A man on the side pointed to the front and said. They were about a hundred meters away from the Juncheng Mansion. From this distance, they used mortars.
It's the best. In fact, the people of Cao's Trading Company have already made up their minds. It would be best if they can surrender. But if they don't surrender, they will attack the wall immediately. As soon as the wall arrives, the cavalry will enter immediately.
Well, everyone knows that if cavalry and infantry are entangled, the infantry will have no choice but to die. More than 1,000 cavalry are already ready. It depends on the reaction of the people inside, but from
There were some voices coming from inside, talking about killing the enemy, defending the country, etc. When the division commander Zhang Pu heard this voice, he knew what was going on. It must be that the people inside didn't want to surrender. That's fine, too.
Too lazy to talk nonsense with you, he took out his hand crossbow. This is a weapon specially equipped by the Cao Family Trading Company for people above the regiment level. This thing is about the same size as a pistol on earth. It is only used for shooting.
It's still a crossbow arrow. The size of this crossbow arrow is about the same as a bullet. There are six shots at a time. It is made like a revolver. The range is not very far. It is only about 100 meters. This thing only has regiment-level officers with him.
Only the security guards of Zhang Pu have this, but Zhang Pu has a security company, and all the security companies including him have sixty of these things. In the exercise, such hand crossbows are most suitable for close combat, and serial crossbows are most suitable for close combat.
It is easy to hurt your own people in close combat. For example, the power of a serial crossbow is too great. It can penetrate people directly and make people feel chilled. But if there are people from the Cao Family Trading Company behind this person,
, then it’s over.
This thing actually exists in Li Cong's system. Li Cong exchanged it directly, but the price is really not low. It costs 50 taels of silver each, and it can only be 100,000 taels per day. Even if Li Cong
If you exchange it like this every day, you won't be able to exchange it for much. I asked the other side of the earth, and they also said that this thing can be produced and the cost is not high, that is, it can be exchanged for one-third. This is what's inside
The ammunition is also available, so in the production of Li Cong and the Earth side, there have been hundreds of thousands of them in the past few days, but they have been brought by people like Zhang Pu, there is no way
, these people are relatively close to the military supplies. It is said that a division can only have 60 at most. This guy Zhang Pu directly got more than 500. In addition to those people under him, some other people are also divided.
Li Cong's idea is that each person should have one of these weapons. The combat troops should have two weapons of their own. Now the soldiers of the Cao Family Trading Company also have two weapons. One is their serial crossbow, and the other is
They were just daggers tied to their legs, but now Li Cong felt that he could add a crossbow. The weight was not heavy, and the ammunition was relatively easy to carry, just like the bullet belts on Earth.
Just the same thing is enough. Everyone can carry about a hundred of them. This kind of thing is more suitable for melee combat. It will not hurt yourself by accident, and its striking ability is also very strong. For example, if the opponent rushes over with a big knife.
Okay, are you taking out a pistol to be faster at this time? Or are you using a chain crossbow to be faster? Of course, a hand crossbow is faster, and everyone can tell the difference clearly, so Li Cong is preparing to equip this thing on a large scale.
Already.
The order from the earth suddenly reached one billion. Some companies on the earth will not make this thing at all, but this is an order from the emperor's subordinates. Good guy, the price of one is a full 120 imperial coins.
, some arms dealers on the earth have already seen the huge benefits. Even if this thing is made as a sample, it only costs 100 yuan at most. If it is mass-produced, including taxes and other things, the profit will be made for every handful.
There are about 30 yuan, one billion, this is not a small amount, as long as you can get tens of millions, it will be fine. Soon, this billion will be given by thousands of factories on the earth.
Okay, this kind of thing is a bit backward for today's earth, and it doesn't matter. Even if it is among the people, it doesn't matter. Nowadays, everything is smart. I guess some people want to use this thing in the city.
Before you even take it out, searchlights will immediately follow you. Of course, if you play with it by yourself, no one will care about you. But if you have any other ideas, you will definitely be the unlucky one in the end, and the safety of the earth will be yours.
We have already reached a certain point in Chengdu. This does not mean that we can just bring out a few random weapons. If someone wants to try the defense in this city, they can still try it, but in the end it will definitely pay off.
It’s your own life. Sometimes these things are not done very well. It’s a long way to go. People on the other side of the earth have already calculated it. Basically, there will be something next time the teleportation array is turned on.
The first batch of 300 million has arrived. As for the ammunition, it still needs to be made here. Although it is made by small workshops here, it still needs to be done in order to control a large number of people. Besides, their speed is not slow.
.
People from the strategic research department on Earth have calculated that if every soldier carries a pistol, the mortality rate will be reduced by 10%, and the efficiency of killing enemies will also be increased by more than 20%. Use it skillfully.
There may be more. Now many armies cannot have two guns. It is because of budget problems. As long as the things obtained from this planet are returned to the earth a little bit, it is simply a waste.
It doesn’t matter. The development on the earth is already very fast, but the hard currency on the earth is still gold and silver. These things have long been insufficient. Li Cong ordered things on the earth from the planet over there.
Most of the time, gold is used to pay. This can also bring a large amount of precious metals to the earth, and can also make the high gold price drop a little. The ordinary people's lives are already very good.
At this time, many people will want to add some gold jewelry to their bodies. If such luxury goods become something that everyone wants, it will be a lot of trouble. How can these things be enough? Now on the earth
The price of gold has reached 500 yuan per gram. As for the fluctuations, it has not fluctuated for many years. Those who speculate in gold cannot bring out so many goods, because most of the gold has already gone to the common people.
In their hands, most of them were gold jewelry. They never thought that these things would be sold for speculation. They were all for their own use, so those who were speculating had nothing to speculate on.
The gold shipped back by Li Cong is not very large, it is estimated to be about 10,000 tons, but the price can definitely be brought to about 400 yuan, which is considered a healthy price.
Zhang Pu took out his hand crossbow and went up with his guard battalion. In a war like this, the commander can be allowed to take his guard battalion up to experience it, although everyone knows what happens to the commander.
If it is a problem, the damage is fatal to the army, but such small-scale combat military schools are encouraged to participate, because they do not want their commander to be a civilian, and they rarely see bloody commanders.
It is unnecessary for anyone. The guy in front of him is like this. He not only wants his army to see blood, but he himself also needs it. With the mortar fire, the wall has collapsed.
, the artillery guys didn’t give these people time to persuade them to surrender. The people inside were also dumbfounded, thinking that they could resist for a while relying on this wall. Who knew that this was impossible? The people inside
They were knocked unconscious immediately. When they woke up, they saw the people from the Cao Family Trading Company in front of them. Each of these people was pointing their serial crossbows at them. This guy was very agile.
He threw the weapon in his hand to the ground. Are you kidding me? When I saw that arrow, I felt like I was going to die. Not to mention the feeling of having something like this shoot through me. I really couldn’t even think about it.
Dare to think about it, such a thing is too unimaginable for them. Of course, not everyone will throw away the weapon directly. The guy in the corner over there does not have this consciousness, and even raised his own
The big knife in his hand was slashed at the officer-looking man opposite. This man was Zhang Pu, and he shot out with a crossbow arrow. This was also the first time that Zhang Pu had killed someone.
Most people will feel a little scared after killing someone, but this guy Zhang Pu doesn't have any fear. In fact, he still has a little bit of fear in his heart, but now so many brothers are looking at him, he also
He couldn't show any timidity and said directly, "Huh, if you want to confront me head-on, I'm not that material yet. Brothers, these gangsters have no intention of surrendering. Once they get in, they can be killed directly for their own safety."
They, this is what I allowed." Zhang Pu said loudly, this guy used his loud voice to cover up, but it also encouraged himself, and immediately led the guards to continue moving forward, and everyone else also took the
He rushed in with a crossbow in hand. Most people on the road would not resist. They are the kind of heinous people. They have to fight at their last moment, otherwise they will not even have this chance, so they must
People who do this, but the end result is that they become hedgehogs. People in the strategic research department once made a statistics, that is, ordinary soldiers will just shoot a person, and you will die.
, but when facing new recruits, the number of bastards will increase a lot. Generally speaking, the probability of hedgehogs appearing in the first battle of the new recruits is very high, and it has reached a surprising level. At the end of the count,
Among the thousands of people who died, less than a hundred were killed by one arrow. The rest were all shot by more than 10 people. It was really a tragedy that these people died. When the first arrow entered, they all died.
Those who won't die will still have feelings. They will die only when everyone in the back has gone in. It was really painful when they were about to die, but who told them to meet a new army?
In fifteen minutes, the battle here was over. Zhang Pu took inventory. Everyone here was here, and the tunnel was directly sealed. The battle seemed to be nothing. He also killed two people.
Come on. Look at these brothers, all of them are in high spirits. Basically, there is nothing wrong. Just when he was about to issue some commendation orders to the brothers below, the communications soldier came over on a fast horse. Look at him.
It looked like something bad had happened. Zhang Pu took the guy to a place where there were not many people. He couldn't let bad news spread. This was also something learned in the military academy at the beginning. This is still important for stabilizing military morale.
It's very effective. Otherwise, it definitely wouldn't have much effect. After a few words, Zhang Pu understood what was going on. Damn, their division was not very lucky. There happened to be a unit.
They encountered reinforcements coming from the rear of the Southern Empire. The number exceeded 500,000. There was only one regiment on his side with less than 5,000 people. The difference was a hundred times. It has been more than half an hour now. I don’t know.
What's the situation over there? The cavalry also takes time on their way back and forth. Zhang Pu knows that even if the reinforcements closest to him arrive, it will take a day. Airships can be used. They have three reconnaissance airships here.
, but even if it is used every time, it can transport about a thousand people. It has no effect. The army on the ground must pass by. Fortunately, the things here have been completed.
I don't know. The infantry regiment here should be fine. I didn't expect that this was my first time participating in the battle. I didn't expect that I would be given such an opportunity. I didn't have to worry about not fighting.
"Pass my order. The cavalry regiment is responsible for the security of the city. They will hand over their horses to me to the infantry of the 131st regiment. In addition, we will collect some carriages from here and transport the arms at full speed. We must quickly support the 133rd regiment.
The target is thirty miles northwest of the city. Advance at full speed. Anyone who dares to delay or disobey the order after receiving the order will be killed on the spot." After Zhang Pu finished speaking, he immediately handed over to the commander of the cavalry regiment and took him with him.
More than 300 people from the guard company rushed out of the city first. If the cavalry regiment passed by, it would definitely be faster, but the war there is obviously a blockade, and the infantry regiment's combat mission is definitely better.
, the cavalry may have been of no use in the past, so why not let them guard the city? When I get there, the news from all over the place has basically arrived, and I can also know where to dispatch the troops. In fact, for a division
As far as the army is concerned, the 500,000-strong Nandi Army is nothing. Based on this ratio, it would take at least an army of more than 1 million to be able to fight them. But now we are encountering 5,000 people.
The gap between them is a hundred times, which creates a certain disadvantage locally. Moreover, the infantry regiment is also full of new recruits. It is estimated that many people may be scared to wet their pants. This is a normal thing.
, recruits are the biggest unstable factor on the battlefield. Except for these squad leaders, no one else has participated in the war. For these recruits, the 500,000 people in front of them are so dark that it makes them feel uncomfortable.
They all felt scared, and some of them even wanted to desert. They only stayed when they saw that no one was leaving. But there was no denying that one person who left could take away a large number of people.
"Look out for me. There are hundreds of thousands of troops in front of us. What's there? Look at where we are. We are the county seat. We have a ten-meter-high city wall. Can they fly up? No.
Possibly, look at the weapons in your hands, what is it, a serial crossbow, the invincible serial crossbow, this is what they are most afraid of, you can shoot ten of them at once, if you can aim, ten people will be shot.
You can die there. Even the newest recruits can kill one. How many crossbows do you have? Everyone has more than 300. We have also prepared 300 for you. Everyone has 600.
How many people do we have? There are 4932 people in our group. All of them are on this city wall. The group leader is also here. All you have to do is kill one person with six arrows. If this is the request, you will all
If I can't do that, I will go directly to the home of the instructor who trained you in your recruit company and burn down this guy's house. This is because he failed to take care of you and sent me a group of idiots. Besides,
If only 200,000 of their 500,000 people die, the rest will disperse in a rush. This requires you to kill one person with ten arrows. If you can't even do this
If you arrive, hurry up and take off this new military uniform on your body. What's going on? The local militia groups are much stronger than you. Remember, you are all regular troops of the Cao Family Trading Company. They are the whole road.
The most elite army. There is nothing we can't do. There are only things they can't think of. There are super serial crossbows stationed on all sides of the city wall. If someone really rushes up, they will open fire. You are all safe and calm.
"A company commander said loudly to the shivering recruits.
When some of the very nervous recruits heard their boss say this, they immediately felt less sad. This matter seemed to be very simple. During the training of recruits, they hit nine out of ten shots.
Look at the densely packed troops below. There is no need to take aim at all. As long as you can pull the trigger, the people below will die in pieces. Besides, it is impossible for them to come up. The city gate is already blocked.
If it is blocked, it is impossible for them to get in. The infantry of our Cao Family Trading Company is best at defense. During the Northern War, the hundreds of millions of troops in the Eastern Empire did not break through our defense line. Although
There is no such thing as barbed wire anymore, but now our serial crossbows are much more advanced than that time. They are not on the same level in terms of range and penetration. And look at it.
The army in front of us seems to be exhausted. They must have traveled a long distance. Didn't the platoon leader just say that they will all fall down from exhaustion? We are called waiting for work. The division commander is very close to us.
Yes, as long as we can hold on for this period of time, the division commander's reinforcements will arrive soon. When the time comes, we can make dumplings for these people in front of us. After we return, the commendation order from above will definitely come down.
Who dares to say that their division is full of new recruits? That is pure fart. I was the first one to find a piece of cow shit and stuff it into the mouth of the person who spoke. Isn’t this fart? Didn’t you see our first time?
Can we kill an army of 600,000 even if we take part in the battle, including those who surrendered? Did you have this ability when you were new recruits? Are you kidding? I have never heard of such a thing.
Soon the attack began. Wang Laosan was originally a butcher. Later, he felt that joining the army might be a good idea, so he directly joined the army of Cao Family Trading Company. After three months of training, he arrived here. Before
This guy often saw blood when he was young, but it was all the blood of animals. He had encountered this murder in his dream, but he had never encountered it in reality. For these people in front of him, he just thought
The one who wanted to run away was the one in front of him, but the words of the group leader made him not want to run away anymore. Damn, the few people around him were all his old buddies. They were scared to death just now. Now they are all
Everyone talked about this meritorious service and that, and I also boasted a few nonsense to them, making them look like a veteran. This kind of thing was also a kind of comfort to them. Although they were still scared, but in their own eyes
You can't act like a coward in front of your friends. This is related to your lifelong reputation. Wang Laosan calmly fired his first bow and arrow. You can see from his eyes that his
His eyes are also very good. A guy at a distance of 300 meters directly dodged and hit the guy's feet, but he also saw that his target was still dead. I don't know which brother did it.
That guy was so lucky. In order to avoid the serial crossbow he shot, his target turned his body sideways and let the guy succeed. Forget it, no matter who killed him, he was dead anyway. Go ahead.
Just find the next target, and you will be lucky the second time. It is useless to block that guy with a shield, or he will be penetrated to death, so people still want to block it?
If it were the first-generation serial crossbow, your shield might still be able to block it, but now it's impossible for you. In less than ten minutes, the super serial crossbow and mortar were not used at all.
, basically none of the tens of thousands of people who came to attack stood up. Many people below were injured, but their brothers behind them did not dare to come to save them, and the people from the Cao Family Trading Company would not let them come.
As long as you enter our shooting range, then I'm sorry, we will definitely kill you. This is on the battlefield, many things are out of our control, and we don't want to kill you, but if we don't kill you
If so, our lives will be a little worried. Yes, it is for this reason that I can only feel sorry for you. The army of the Southern Empire originally thought that it would be very simple to defeat the Cao Family Trading Company's army of several thousand people. They also
I never thought that I would encounter the Cao Family Trading Company's army here, so both sides were unprepared. When the first battle was over, they changed their strategies and the catapults were pulled out.
, this thing is absolutely amazing, the serial crossbow basically does no harm to this thing, and there are many first-level warriors in the Nandi ** team who can operate this thing, and the speed is also very fast.
However, the Cao Family Trading Company's army has mortars. Once these things are deployed, yours will be useless.
When stones were continuously thrown on the city wall, they finally discovered how terrible the tactics of the Southern Empire were. They could actually move and strike. This was really too much. They could actually push them away.
, as soon as the mortar determined their position, these guys started pushing this thing and ran away. There was no chance at all, but they could throw stones on the city wall while running. The Southern Empire
The army did not count casualties when attacking. Even if the Cao Family Trading Company's army fired arrows vigorously, if they died, someone would immediately take over. Ten people would be replaced by one person from the Cao Family Trading Company, as long as they could
Just do the catapult work. Such a thing is terrible for anyone. The casualties of the Cao Family Trading Company began to rise. (To be continued...)
