The 2119th Chapter 1 Touch and Retreat

Although the troops of the Cao's House of Merchant opened fire, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the troops of the Cao's House of Trade had no intention of going to war at all. The area where people live is relatively small, but the whole city. At that time, they can get the greatest value, right? Now it's more like what is it trying to achieve? The bombardment lasted for about fifteen minutes, and all the shanty towns outside the city were wiped out. The court spent a long time trying to drive these people away but failed. It was Cao's business The people did it directly, and the casualties were only a few people, because the people from the Cao's Commercial Bank gave them enough time to evacuate after the gunfire. If you don't leave, it will be your own problem.

The Great General Wu rushed towards the sea with hundreds of his guards. Seeing this situation, some common people raised their hands and cheered one by one. In their opinion, such a great general really loves the people. For example, in order to prevent the people on his side from suffering from the war, he even brought such a small number of people to the front line. Such a thing is still very admirable, but many scholars feel that the brain of this general Is there water in here? What you need to do now is to build a defensive position instead of negotiating with others in the past. If you do that, if they detain you, you will be leaderless immediately. When people really attack, what should you ask your brothers to do? Are they all gone?

"Hehe, this General Wu is really the same as the news from our intelligence office. This person is very afraid of fighting with our Cao's army. He was the one when we clashed with the Southern Empire last time." The little captain, I really didn't expect that he became the general of the Southern Empire in just a few years, and the hundreds of thousands of troops around here are all under his command. If there is a real fight, we will be very happy It’s hard to win. Now that he’s here and sent such a big gift, if we don’t accept it. I feel a little sorry for this guy. Brothers, we are all ready, as long as he enters our I will immediately kill all his bodyguards. I can’t let him run away. As long as this person is here, the hundreds of thousands of troops will make a fuss, and we can do whatever we want at that time. There is an order from above. There is nothing we can’t do. As long as it hurts the people of the Southern Empire, we can do anything. This time is different from last time. What we did last time was to rob. This time We will occupy a place and digest a place when we conquer a place, so that the Southern Empire will have no sea exits in the future." The commander of the fleet said, looking at the general of the Southern Empire with a big flag in front of him.

"Yes." The adjutant next to him immediately went down to convey the order. It has been a long time since the navy of Cao's House was established. During this period of time, he was just wandering aimlessly at sea, looking for some islands suitable for human habitation. That's it, their opponents have been those barbarians for so many years, barbarians with sticks or something, which is not a challenge for them at all, if they keep fighting with such people, their own The brain will also degenerate. Although the army of the Southern Empire is not very powerful, it is still much stronger than those barbarians. Just look at their weapons and so on.

"Don't attack. We are the guards of General Wu of the Southern Empire. The general is right behind us. We will discuss everything with you. Please don't fire.

"As General Wu slowly came over, several of his guards with relatively loud voices shouted vigorously. It is estimated that when they were first born, their crying voices were not as strong as they are now. This is also true. There is no way, who told them to see the cannons of Cao's House, if they don't let the people over there know what they mean, thinking that they are here to attack, then it will be troublesome. dead.

"Let them in, you know what to do after you enter the encirclement." The fleet commander of Cao's House said with a smile, no matter how you look at this guy, he is a fox, and only such a person can bring the greatest benefits to Cao's House For the sake of profit, the Southern Empire is not interested in Cao's House this time. Didn't it mean that you don't have the person we are looking for? If you cooperated with us well, you can talk about anything, but now that you are unwilling, Then we have found a good thing for you. After occupying a large number of cities along your coast, I don’t know if you still have the same attitude. The scale of this war must be very large. If there is no such large-scale During the war, they still don’t know how powerful the Cao’s House is. The Cao’s House in the Southern Empire has already taken away their valuables, and the rest of the staff are all locals. The people in Cao's House are already prepared, but their opponent, the Southern Empire, seems to be unprepared. They feel that the war is coming too fast and they are unprepared.

General Wu saw that the people from the Cao's House of Commerce had also come down, and they were all cavalry troops. He wondered why they brought so many cavalry with them. The artillery rang again, but this time the target was very clear, that is, the guards behind General Wu, after a round of shelling, there were less than 200 of the thousands of guards left. Hundreds of cavalry, damn it, are all carrying chain crossbows. General Wu himself is a seventh-level fighter, and he was about to take out his long sword to fight the opponent to the death when several airships appeared in the sky , Damn, in this era, the people of Cao's House already understand what is called three-dimensional warfare, and the troops of the Southern Empire are still in the flat era. How can this beat them? When General Wu saw those chilling arrows, he murmured in his heart. Although he was a seventh-level fighter and they were ordinary people, he knew the power of the chain crossbow. If only one or two people could hide In the past, there were hundreds of people above, and they honestly dismounted and surrendered.

"Full attack. Set up a complete beachhead for me in half an hour, throw the opposing camp into chaos in forty minutes, signal to the Marines in the back, tell them to hurry past Ali, if they come late , there is no need for them here, we can handle things by ourselves.” The fleet commander looked at the captured general and said with a smile, if the opponent fully resists in this asymmetrical war, relying on They will still be difficult to fight with the numerical advantage, but now the opponent has such a stupid commander. This day is much better.

"You are acting like robbers. Why do you bully the people of the Southern Empire? I am the general of the Southern Empire. I came here to communicate with you to solve the problem, but look at how you treat me. Just Killed my men. They are all soldiers of the Southern Empire. Do you want to cause war? I admit that the people in your Cao’s firm are very powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, it’s just a firm. We have The Southern Empire has a history of hundreds of thousands of years. Aren’t you really afraid of our counterattack? At that time, your industry in the entire Southern Empire will suffer a devastating blow.” This general’s eloquence is still good, at least There is no sign of admitting defeat yet, this guy's mouth is still very hard.

"Hehe, don't scare me with things like total war. Since the people of Cao's House dare to gather so many troops in your offshore, we have nothing to be afraid of. Since you want to try We will never be stingy with our artillery. I don’t know what the reason is. I just received an order from our superiors to occupy this place within two hours. In the future, this place may not be the place of your Southern Empire. Now, take a good look at it for the last time." The commander of the fleet said with a smile, all the navies around were happy when he said these words, what a glorious thing it is for them to establish a base for their own business, so It is very face-saving to say things about yourself.

"What? Don't be so funny, okay, two hours? What do you think we are? We have at least 500,000 people in the forbidden army and the local army here. How many people do you have here? At most, it is more than 10,000 People, you want to defeat us one to thirty? Do you think it is possible? Besides, your artillery can't reach our city walls at all. You should carefully consider what to do after a full-scale war is triggered. Thinking of occupying our place, I really don’t know what you are thinking in your mind.” This guy looked at the surrounding navy like an idiot, and I have to say that most of the people in the Southern Empire said what he said I believe it all. What we have to do today is to let you take a good look at whether the Cao's House has that ability.

"Hehe, don't forget that we all have our own territory in the Eastern Empire, and there are dozens of counties and cities. Is your Southern Empire stronger than the Eastern Empire? This time we will be in your He does a lot of things on the territory of the Southern Empire, wait and see, put this guy down for me, and if he dares to escape, shoot him to death." When General Wu wanted to say something, two seventh-level fighters Just pull this guy down, you have already expressed your point of view just now, there is no need for you to continue to speak now.

The people from the Southern Empire saw that their general had gone out and did not come back, and all the guards were killed, and the general was captured. At this time, the spies of the people from the Cao's firm started their activities in the army. Soon, in twenty minutes, with the sound of the cannons of Cao's House, everyone here knew a terrible news, that is, the people of Cao's House had captured their general In the past, I only knew that General Wu was timid and fearful. Now it seems that there is another stupid person who has no ability at all. He is so confused and has done such things. I really don’t know what to say about him. What's the matter? During the war, you took so few people to other people's barracks. Isn't this a fool or what?

It's just that they just have time to be surprised. The rest of the people from Cao's Commercial Bank didn't intend to be polite to them. The assembly on the shore was completed, which seemed to be different from the previous time. A few years ago, people from the Cao's House of Commerce came to rob once, and they said something so nice about inspection. In fact, they didn't come here to rob. They are still very clear about what the people of Cao's House did. This time it seems to be different from that time. They are going to start gathering the team. Could it be that they really told them? Same, to occupy this place? Isn't that a joke? Here the army and the common people add up to more than 5 million people. They just want to do this with such a small team? Is this not a brain problem or what? Some people on the city wall began to doubt, why didn't they know how to do it well.

The people of Cao's House of Commerce naturally don't care what the people of the Southern Empire look like, all they have to do is to follow their plan step by step, and suddenly they see that the cavalry of Cao's House of Trade are not the same as the original ones. . It turned out that there was an artillery unit. There are dozens of cannons that are actually mounted on wheels, which can be pulled around by horses. In this way, their mobility is amazing. This tens of meters high city wall is nothing to others. If you want to break it down for you, it will be every minute. It seems that the city may indeed fall.

"No, have you seen it? The enemy's artillery is already active. If they can really charge over, it will definitely be a disaster for us. We can't just hide in the city like that. If this is the case It is absolutely impossible for us to resist their attack. We should take the initiative to attack. Now that the general has been captured, we can't have any other losses. If we stay here honestly, we will finally I guarantee that we will be the ones who regret it." Some radical generals in the barracks hurriedly said, for them, these guys are already terrible things, and if they really rushed over, they would definitely not be as good as themselves The advantage is that their movements are also very fast, and now they must take the initiative to attack. Passive defense will not be able to gain an advantage at any time. It's just that there is no general, how many people are willing to go out to die? Most people remember how powerful the army of Cao's House is. Besides, in their hearts, it is impossible for the army of Cao's House to occupy this place for a long time, that is, for a period of time. In the end, the army of Cao's House will still retreat, and the court will restore their official positions at that time, and then all the faults will be blamed on the general, and it has nothing to do with them. If you lose your head right now, you won't have the chance to enjoy life like this in the future, rush out? Most generals would definitely not approve of it, because it was too dangerous.

"Rush out? Make a frontal attack on the army of Cao's House? This is not allowed. According to the statistics of the battle report at Fenxiang Valley some time ago, if we do that, we will be absolutely fools. If we With the help of high walls and sharp weapons, it is possible to persist for a longer time. If we really have a decisive battle with the army of Cao's House in the wild, maybe less than 15% of us can come back. It has already been reported to the imperial court. They only have 20,000 people. Even if there is some kind of artillery, it is impossible for them to enter. Our city walls and gates are all newly pruned. The old ones from last time It’s all useless, I believe we should be able to hold on for a few days relying on these, what we have to do now is to retreat all the troops outside the city into the city, relying on the city wall to fight a thorough battle with them For defensive warfare, there will be fewer people at that time, as long as they cannot attack, they will retreat by themselves, and our losses will be the least." The general said this, and his words won the approval of a large number of people. Some people knew that they should go out to attack at this time, but they didn't say anything. It was their own heads that were the most important.

"What? Abandon all the positions outside? I think you are all crazy, have you been frightened by the people of Cao's House? If we do that, we probably won't be able to hold on here for two hours Yes, you can all see clearly that the army of Cao's House is just like that. If our cavalry can put on heavy armor and rush over quickly, as long as their formation is washed away, we will be fine. They are victorious, and their army is not that scary, as long as our people are fast enough, they will definitely be fine." What he said is true, last time on the northern battlefield, there was an Eastern Empire The cavalry of the Eastern Empire won that way, but at the beginning, the cavalry of the Eastern Empire attacked a small army of Cao's firm. Moreover, at that time, the troops of Cao’s House used the first-generation chain crossbow. The burst speed and range of that thing were not the same as they are now. At that time, there was no help from naval warships. Besides, the impact But the light cavalry of the Eastern Empire are not heavy cavalry. The speed of the heavy cavalry is really too slow, especially for the last distance. Their slow speed is like a living target. What this general said is true good news for them. The news that is not good for them will not be said directly. Such a person is also a wonderful thing.

"General, I don't think you have seen how the troops of Cao's House attack. When they attack, all the troops advance directly in a row, attacking with their chain crossbows while walking. From the perspective of the people on their side, they will not back down. The chain crossbow is also very easy to use in their hands. The most important thing is that the army of Cao's House of Merchant will not be stingy. Our people are behind the city wall It is possible to survive as much as you hide. But if you go out, you will lose your head. The speed of the heavy cavalry is too slow. If you go out without any action, you may be turned into a hedgehog by others , Everyone is still clear about such things, I hope you can all consider the life and death of our brothers below." The point of view here is also very sufficient, what they don't know is that when they started arguing, they It has already failed, because the air force of Cao's Commercial Bank has already started to set off. They were all hidden at high altitude just now. Now the army of Cao's Commercial Bank has been assembled. If they don't show up at this time, It is estimated that the army is about to start making small reports. You spend so much money every year, and this is the first three-dimensional attack. Why can't you even see your shadow? The air force on the airship knows how much the army looks down on them. I will show you in actual combat today. Without us, it is absolutely impossible for you to take this city in two hours. Everyone You have to work together.

"The enemy has started to attack, above us..." Several generals were still arguing in the big tent, and the scouts outside had already started shouting, what's going on? How can the attack be on top? Is there something wrong with the scout's brain? When the generals saw the small black dots appearing in the sky, they understood that the airships of Cao's House were coming. These things can transport things quickly, but they can also cause huge damage to them. At this moment, except for these airships that appeared on the battlefield, the other airships in the entire Southern Empire have disappeared. They know that as long as an all-out war breaks out, they will have no time to survive in the Southern Empire. The army will definitely drive towards the airship centers in various places at the first time. It is precisely because the people of Cao's House are prepared that they have avoided losses, otherwise their losses would have been serious.

Dozens of airships lined up in a neat queue and began to attack the barracks below indiscriminately. A large number of grenades were thrown down one by one, which was like the sickle of death to the soldiers of the Southern Empire. But after the explosion, many soldiers will enter the chaos. As long as some troops enter the chaos, their combat effectiveness will start to plummet. Looking at the navy of Cao's House, there are 300,000 troops there. There are already flames in the camp of the imperial army. Damn it, this is only an air raid for ten minutes. These air forces are really powerful. If their army attacks, it is possible to take down this camp in a day It is a problem, the most important thing is that there will be a lot of casualties, but for them, this is not a problem at all, as long as they want, they can create more chaos at any time, of course, they are also There is a plan, not just throwing grenades casually, they must control the war within a certain area, just like now, these soldiers cannot be allowed to run out, if they just swarmed away, it would become After they become stragglers, that will be a headache for the people of Cao's firm, and it will be very difficult to wipe them out.

"Order the army to start the attack. According to the established plan, all of them will be concentrated in the southern area of ​​the camp. Only those who go out can be killed. Others who surrender will be escorted to the ships behind, and all the troop carriers will be activated. These The captives are also very important in the future. Some of our mines in the rear need a lot of people. They will become our miners in the future, and even our people who maintain law and order in the local area." Commander at this time I started to give orders on the airship. At the beginning, I was on a warship, but commanding battles there will also have certain limitations. It is better to be here. You can see the situation on the entire battlefield. Don’t mention it. Such a command, they will also feel that it is a beautiful thing.

After the semaphore soldiers conveyed the order here, the cavalry of the army escorted the infantry of two brigades of 10,000 people and began to advance. They slowly advanced to a place 1,000 meters away from the camp. Then a large number of people began to shout, let the people inside come out with a white flag, if there are any who don't fly the white flag, they will be killed directly, as long as they come out with the white flag, they can avoid death. But only about a thousand people can come out each time. If you come out too much, you will encounter their blows. The airships in the sky also started bombing to the north, just to get all the people to the south, which is also their established policy.

They have been blown up by the people above their heads and can't find North. Now there is a way to survive, if you don't do it quickly, don't you have a problem with your brain? Where did so many white flags come from, and they all started to fight for Baibu? In such a situation Many people died again. At this time, many people picked up the steel knife in their hands and started massacring their usual bosses and comrades in order to survive for themselves. This kind of thing lasted for at least half an hour. , More than 10,000 people died in the hands of their own people, and they stopped the massacre until everyone had a hundred steps, but all this was seen by the commander in the sky, Originally, it was useful to capture them, but when they saw that they did this, the commander’s face immediately darkened, killing all his own people, how could he help us do things in the future? That's right, if there is any problem with the people of Cao's House, they will definitely do the same. It seems that these people must use them where they are most needed. Immediately, the commander arranged a better place for them. That is on an island deep in the sea, there is a huge silver mine, which produces hundreds of millions of taels of silver every year, that is a good place for these people, there is nothing around except the sea, and the airship has to fly for a month Yes, you went to that place as a good place for you, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for taking action against your own people.

The army of Cao's House of Merchant started their attack, and they quickly took down the 300,000 forbidden army. In fact, the forbidden army just had a name, and they didn't have much ability at all. Look at their appearance You know, when these people saw the war coming one by one, they were afraid of death, they were terribly afraid, and they didn't know what was going on in their minds. All of them were purely sick in their minds, for their own sake. For survival, he was his brother a few minutes ago, but now he has become his enemy. This kind of thing happens from time to time. In addition, they have no generals, and the following generals still want to Fighting for power and profit, this kind of thing can only be done by them. If it is in other places, they will definitely not be able to do it, and they will not do such a thing. It's better not to do things right, or you may die very quickly.

After the camp outside the city is gone, only the people inside are left. It will be easier for the people inside to kill them. Thirty cannons were completely unloaded from the ship and pulled by a carriage. At the gate of the city, isn't it repaired far away from the sea? Isn't our artillery unable to reach you? It doesn't matter, our artillery can be easily disassembled, and now it has been transported to the gate of the city, it has become a direct-fire artillery, do you want to come in? There is no door, this incident made all of you feel very uncomfortable, looking at the black muzzle, do you have any other ideas?

The army on the city wall is very strong. The people from Cao's House tried to persuade them to surrender three times, but no one came out holding a white flag. In their opinion, as long as they came out, they definitely didn't run away. They must persevere. The higher-ups should have started negotiating with the people from the Cao's House of Commerce. As long as the results of the negotiations over there come out, everything will be easier. It's just that their idea is wrong. It started at the same time. With such a large-scale attack, the military headquarters of the Southern Empire received thousands of requests for help within a day. But does the Southern Empire have such emergency measures? If anything. The people in their military department can't tell the difference, they just sent out fifty letters, and the rest can only be thrown there, waiting for someone to analyze, and then someone who decides to send it out, it's just that If it’s already tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it’s already that time, can you still afford to wait?

The people of Cao's House of Merchant will naturally not give you so many opportunities, on the first day of the attack. Eighty percent of the coastal cities have all become Cao's business. Because of the arrival of reinforcements in those 20% of the cities, and the fact that their troops were more powerful, they caused a lot of losses to Cao's House, which made the offensive commanders of Cao's House feel ashamed. Oh shit. Why did they shoot down there? I can't do it here, it seems that you are still tough, the above mentioned is called blitzkrieg. It must not be delayed any longer. If it is delayed, it will become a protracted war, and this new tactic will be useless. Such a thing is absolutely unacceptable to the people of Cao's House Yes, so they launched a more violent attack at night, making everyone in charge of defense in the Southern Empire feel the danger. They really don't know what to do. In their opinion, such a war should not be In the beginning, they had never encountered such a war, it was an abnormal war, but besides seeing their soldiers getting injured and the city changing hands, did they have any other way? No, you can't use all your strength, because you can't fight hand to hand with others. If they don't fight with you in close quarters, no matter how powerful you are, what's the use? Although the military of the Southern Empire is also changing, they also have some long-distance attack weapons, but compared with these things of Cao's House, those things are far behind in terms of power and accuracy.

It is true that the top management of the Southern Empire started to communicate with the people of Cao's House because of this matter, but is there any result? No, some of the high-level strongholds of the Cao’s House in the Southern Empire have all been emptied, and no one knows how the people of the Cao’s House retreated. In fact, this matter is very easy. They will all go out. The interspatial ring of Cao's House is a very common thing. It is very easy to put all those things in the interspatial ring. The things taken away by the Southern Empire will be taken as soon as they are taken, but people can remember the value very clearly. When the Southern Empire is defeated in the future, all the things will be returned, and the original price will not be returned, but the value will be increased several times. Yes, they didn't think of those things. In their view, these people gave up, and the Southern Empire directly accepted them.

Cao's House of Commerce did not give the people of the Southern Empire a chance to communicate this time. In their view, there is nothing to communicate with. We told you about this at the beginning, and asked you to discuss it with us. That matter, but what is the final result? You didn't solve anything for us at all. You all didn't take our words seriously. Now that something happened, you all came to discuss with us. Is this thing that simple? Of course it's impossible, and we won't be so easy to talk about. The people in Cao's Commercial Bank are also very good at doing things, very fast. When you want to solve it, you will solve it? Why don't we save face, we can't mix it up in the future.

Later that day, the entire occupation had already come to fruition. The army of Cao's House had more than 100,000 casualties, but they took over 400 counties in the Southern Empire and more than 2,000 counties at such a small price. Controlling a population of more than 3 billion people, 80% of the southern coastal areas of the Southern Empire fell. Tomorrow, the result of this battle is expected to expand. More than 13 million Caojia Commercial Marine Corps began to land, equipped with 60,000 artillery pieces, and airships. 13,000 ships are going to continue to attack inland the next day. According to Li Cong's order to them, all the 200 kilometers from the sea to the inland area must be captured, but tomorrow's battle will not be so simple. Enter the inland In the future, the navy will support them very little, and every time they occupy a place, a lot of people will be assigned to guard it. Too many troops will be a big disadvantage for Cao's firm.

The court of the Southern Empire was dumbfounded. They lost more than 500 million troops on this day. Basically, some cities in the coastal areas were lost. Even if they were still in their hands, they had no resistance. They never I have never experienced such a war. The so-called defeat is like a mountain. Some generals on the front line have begun to retreat on a large scale. There are many people who ran hundreds of miles in between, and the funniest thing is that a cavalry team of 50 people from Cao's House actually chased the Nandi army of more than 3,000 for hundreds of miles. This kind of thing made the people of the Southern Emperor's army ashamed, and the sensation caused by the escaped general was not only this, this guy would say how powerful the army of Cao's firm was when he went to a place, and he Compared with the fear he brought, the city he lost is nothing. Although the law enforcement team of the Southern Empire quickly killed this guy, the escaped generals appeared one after another, often just When they saw the troops of Cao's House, they started to retreat. The policy of non-resistance was implemented very well, and they were all chanting words. Damn, those imperial guards on the front line are all so powerful. How dare we go to other people, they have lost their land, what are we, if we don't run quickly, our own life will be lost, the army of Cao's firm is all heavenly soldiers and generals, isn't it simple people.

The orders of the Southern Emperor's Ministry of Defense are not much different from waste paper now. There was even a panic in the capital tens of thousands of miles away. The commercial bank advances 200 miles a day, and it has only been two months since we got here. I don’t know what these people are thinking. If the people in Cao’s Commercial Bank are really that powerful, they would have no idea what they were doing. , This is how the sneak attack on the first day can have such a result. If this continues and there is such a result, then the people in Cao's House are really heavenly soldiers and generals, but is that possible? Ignorant people spread the word very quickly. These people are all in the capital and want to escape. Where are they going? Go over the Warcraft Mountains to the Northern Empire? (To be continued..)
