Section 2144 New Tactics

Soon the whole group of 131 surrounded the place, and many people inside showed a very scared expression. They all knew what would happen if the resisters fell into the hands of Cao's firm. Of course, This is secondary. The main thing is what these people do in normal times. If the people from Cao's Commercial Bank find out about it afterwards, these people like myself can't afford to go around and will definitely be caught. Killed, when they came out, they brought some people who were close to them at home. Didn’t the sheriff say that as long as they can persist for three days, reinforcements will come from the provincial capital? It is possible to come to an internal and external cooperation to eat up the army of Cao's firm. This is just people like them who don't understand the form. Any reinforcements, if any, how much is appropriate? If there are fewer people coming, it is estimated that they are prisoners of Cao's house. If there are more people coming, where did they get them? Now Cao's House is attacking again, and there are more than a dozen counties at once. The city owners are either trying to find a way to join forces with themselves, or they are trying their best to recruit recruits. How could someone send them out? Unless they are people with brain problems, they will do this. Even if they have brain problems, how can they cobble together an army of hundreds of thousands, and they all know that it is an army of one division that captured Here, a division of 80,000 people, according to the ratio, if there is no army of nearly 2 million people, it is absolutely impossible to resist the attack of Cao's house. As much as it comes, it can only be as much as it disappears. No one can do such a thing, is it too loss-making?

"Brothers, maybe we didn't know each other in the past, or maybe we had some festivals in the past, but today, in this place, in my mansion, this is our last battlefield , we have no retreat. Usually, I feel that my place is not small. But today you all feel that it is not big enough, but such a small place is the last rope of our existence. As long as If we can persist for more than three days, we will be able to gain a new life. I have already received the news. The bastard of the city lord has surrendered. As long as we persist for these three days, the court will definitely arrest those people of the city lord Beheaded. And we will all be heroes of the imperial court, and there must be a lot of rewards for us. 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 10,000 people. It is not enough to defend a city, but it is more than enough for a mansion like this. Our food and water sources They are all enough, enough for two months, and our weapons and equipment are also enough. Now let's see if we have the courage, because we are all improvised, so I have to announce Several probabilities, the first one is, I don’t care what you used to do, now you are a soldier, the second one, if anyone dares to flirt with outsiders, don’t blame my knife, the third one Dare to retreat and kill without mercy." Jun Cheng said loudly inside, the previous words sounded good, but the latter sounds uncomfortable, why is this place 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. Back then, he claimed to have 20,000 men, and all of his men were vicious. Almost all of his subordinates have been killed. When the people from Cao's House came, he had no choice. It can be said that his original backer was the county magistrate.

In the past, without the care of this guy, it was absolutely impossible to get along well. Now that he has entered here, he clearly knows that there will be no reinforcements. The troops from Cao's House outside are ready to come in at any time Yes, although what Jun Cheng said sounds good, but Liu Heiqi is a person who is very good at seizing opportunities. He didn't want to come in at first. His people have already prepared a secret way, and they will leave the city from that place, but This turned out to be the case now. At that time, the county magistrate asked his 1,000 troops to look at his people and had to enter this place. At that time, he had no other choice but to bring people there. Here it is, it's really not good to make such a fuss, but there is no other way, no, if I don't do it myself, what else can I do? Could it be that he was going to be killed by those people at that time? Now that he has entered this house, he understands that this old guy is also working on the tunnel, but his tunnel has not yet started, it will take three days, damn it, isn't this nonsense, tell the brothers to take their own Going to fight for three days with your head, I really don’t know what’s going on in your head, wanting to go out is not such a simple matter, Liu Heiqi looked at the army of Cao’s House outside again, he I also know that there is no good result if I go out and surrender. At this time, can I find a way to save my life?

"Master, should we try to persuade them to surrender first? Is it possible that 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 will Is it possible to win without fighting?" The head of the 131st regiment next to him looked at the panicked crowd inside and said that the three-meter-high wall is useless at all, and the artillery battalion of Cao's House is already A few mortars have been installed. According to the establishment of Cao's House, this platoon of 30 people has a super serial crossbow and a mortar. The mortars are all small-caliber, mainly for consideration When it comes to transportation, there are no such things as trains in this era, and all transportation depends on the manpower of these people, so some things are not so simple. Sometimes, when you travel far, you may drop some shells or something. Some, the group leader's words are also kind. If you look at such a good courtyard inside, the people inside are probably rich people. If they are all killed, there will probably be trouble inside. There is no money coming, and life is not like this. Didn’t the people above tell us about the cost issue? As long as there is a war, there will be costs. War is the last way to solve the problem. Now if we can really win without fighting, everything will be the best. These people can also dig out a lot of treasures. This is a win-win move for them. Such a thing is very happy for anyone, but the team leader said these words at this time Come on, obviously Zhang Pu is not satisfied, damn it. It hasn't been fought since the war started. How to train the army without fighting, and the economic account is not calculated in this way.

"These people still need to be persuaded to surrender? Do you really think that our people have nothing to do? I heard that the leader of the club is called Liu Heiqi. Just now, a person from the City Lord's Mansion came to tell me. The main business of this guy is usury. There must be at least dozens of people killed by this guy in this city. None of these guys take the lives of ordinary people seriously, so we have no If you need to tell them more, just tell me to just kill them. Besides, do you really think these people will lay down their weapons? These people are stubborn, and they will never surrender so easily. If they had that idea, they probably wouldn't be ready to fight now. Don't talk about such simple things. How can you say that you are a soldier? You don't know what is going on in your mind even if you talk about these things now What, many times it is not as simple as you think, our division has never fought anything since the beginning, and now none of the soldiers have seen what a real war looks like, but what you said is true It's also reasonable, you can ask the mortars to fire a few, don't be too powerful, it would be best if they can all come out and surrender to us, if not, just kill me directly, and call other people from those divisions Let me see, we are definitely not so easy to fool, we are all soldiers, not those guys who are responsible for negotiations." Zhang Pu said, the team leader next to him is also the head of the shop, indeed In this way, so many people in their entire division wanted to have a real battle with real swords and guns, and the officers next to them immediately concentrated their mortars. It is better to use this thing in a concentrated manner.

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. From their point of view, they need to put ladders or something to attack outside, and don't put boxes on the other side of the gate. All of them were killed by turning their heads or something. It is no different from the wall here. It would be strange if you can open it from there. Now that you are not rushing to attack, what are you waiting for? Jun Cheng was still shouting vigorously, hoping that these people can create a little more time, it doesn't take long, his housekeeper has already said just now, this place is about to be opened, and it won't be long Time can go out from here, leading to a mountain outside the city. Someone was doing this in the past, but because there have been no large-scale wars, it is useless. I didn’t expect it to be used now. , more than a dozen fifth-level fighters are digging hard inside. If ordinary people are used at this time, it will probably take a few days. If these five-level fighters are used, it will only take a few hours. Now It is estimated that I have already reached the city gate. As long as I can persist for a few hours, I can go out, and I can even go out with my gold and silver. Over the years, I have searched for land worth tens of millions of silver. Yes, if I don't transport all of them, I won't have a foothold even in the capital. I have done a good job in these years, and the rest of my life can't be the same as the life of ordinary people. I must do it As for the people in front of me, whether they are Liu Heiqi's people or my own guards, I'm sorry, you all have to die here, I can't get out without your life.

"The commander has an order. The first round of shelling will start, two bases, let it go." A face on the side pointed to the front and said. They were about a hundred meters away from the Juncheng Mansion. From this distance, mortars were fired. It's the best. In fact, the people in Cao's House have already made their plans. It would be the best if they can surrender, but if they don't surrender, they will immediately attack the wall. As long as the wall is reached, the cavalry will go in immediately. Now, everyone knows that if cavalry and infantry are entangled, the infantry will have no choice but to die, and more than 1,000 cavalry are already ready. It depends on the reaction of the people inside, but there are some voices coming out from inside, such as killing the enemy, defending the country and so on. The teacher Zhang Pu knew what was going on when he heard this voice, it must be The people inside don't want to surrender anymore, that's fine, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you anymore, he took out his own hand crossbow, this is a weapon specially equipped by the people of Cao's House for the regiment-level officials and above. This thing is about the size of a pistol on Earth. It's just that the crossbow bolts are fired, and the size of the crossbow bolts is about the same as that of a bullet. There are six shots at a time, and the style is the same as that of the revolver. The range is not very far either. Only about 100 meters or so. Only regiment-level officers and the guards around him have this thing, but Zhang Pu has a guard company, and he has sixty of these things including all the guard companies. In the exercise, such a hand crossbow is most suitable for melee combat. The chain crossbow is easy to hurt one's own people in melee combat. For example, the power of the chain crossbow is too great. It's heartbreaking, but if there are people from Cao's firm behind this person, it will be over.

This thing is actually 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 per day. If you exchange like this every day, you won’t be able to exchange much. I asked the other side of the earth, and they also said that this thing can be produced, and the cost is not very expensive. That is, there is one-third of the exchange. The inside is like this The ammunition is also available, so in the production of Li Cong and the earth, there are hundreds of thousands of them in the last few days, but they are all brought by people like Zhang Pu, there is no way , these people are relatively close to the military supplies, and it is said that there are at most 60 in a division. This guy Zhang Pu directly got more than 500. Except for those people under him, even some other people are also divided. Quite a few, Li Cong's idea is that this thing needs to be one person, and the combat troops should have their own two weapons. Now the soldiers of Cao's House also have two weapons, one is their serial crossbow, and the other is It's the daggers tied to their legs, but now Li Cong feels that a hand crossbow can be added, the weight is not heavy, and the ammunition is relatively easy to carry, just like the bullet belt on the earth The same is enough, everyone can carry about a hundred of them, this kind of thing is more suitable for melee combat, not to accidentally injure yourself, and the strike ability is also very strong, for example, the opponent rushed over with a big knife Now, are you taking out your pistol at this time? Or use a chain crossbow to go faster? Of course, it is faster to use a hand crossbow, and anyone can tell the difference clearly, so Li Cong is going to equip this thing on a large scale.

The order on the other side of the earth is one billion at once. Some companies on the earth will not make this thing at all, but this is an order from the Ministry of the Empire. Good guy, the price of one is 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 can cost up to 100 yuan. There are all about 30 yuan, one billion, this number is not small, as long as you can get tens of millions, it will be fine, and soon, the number of billions will be given by thousands of factories on the earth. Divided, this kind of thing is a bit backward for the current earth, it is nothing, even if it is living in the folk, it is nothing, now everywhere is intelligent, it is estimated that some people want to use this thing in the city If you haven't taken it out yet, there will be a searchlight following you immediately, and no one will care about you if you play with it yourself, but if you have any other ideas, the unlucky one must be your own in the end, the safety of the earth I have already arrived in a certain Chengdu. This is not to say that you can do anything with just a few weapons. If someone wants to try the defense in this city, you can still try it. It’s just that you must pay at the end It is your own life. Sometimes these things are done very badly. To say this is far away. The people on the other side of the earth have already calculated that there will basically be a The first batch of 300 million came. As for the ammunition, it is still made here. Although it is made by small workshops here, it still needs to be done in order to control a large number of ordinary people. Besides, their speed is not slow. .

The people in the strategic research department on Earth have calculated that if every soldier carries a pistol. The death rate will drop by 10%, and the efficiency of killing the enemy will also increase by more than 20%. If you use it skillfully, there may be more. Now many armies can't do it with two guns. Because of this budget problem, as long as the things obtained from this planet are brought back to the earth, it is nothing at all. The development on the earth is already very fast, but the hard currency on the earth is still gold. With silver, these things have long been unsatisfactory. When Li Cong ordered things on Earth from the planet over there, he paid with gold. This can also bring a large number of precious metals to the earth, and it can also bring down the high gold price a little bit. The life of ordinary people is already very good. Some gold ornaments have been added to the body. If such a luxury becomes something that everyone wants. This will be a lot of trouble. How can these things be enough? Now the price of gold on the earth has reached 500 yuan per gram. As for the fluctuation, it has not fluctuated for many years. Those who speculate on gold can't produce so many goods, because most of the gold has already been in the hands of ordinary people, and most of them are gold ornaments. They never thought that these things would be sold for speculation. They are all for their own use, so those who speculate have nothing to speculate on. The batch of gold that Li Cong brought back is not a lot, it is estimated that it is about 10,000 tons, but the price can definitely be lowered. It's about 400 yuan, which can be regarded as a benign price.

Zhang Pu took out his hand crossbow and went up with the guard battalion. In this kind of war, it is possible for the commander to bring his own guard battalion up to experience it, although everyone knows that if something happens to the commander If there is a problem, the injury is fatal to the army, but such small-scale battles are encouraged to participate in the military academy, because they don't want their commander to be a civilian, and it is rare to see a bloody commander. No one needs it. The guy in front of him is like this. He not only wants his army to see blood, he also needs it. With the firing of mortars, the wall has already collapsed The artillery guys didn't give these people time to persuade them to surrender, and the people inside were dumbfounded, thinking that they could resist for a while by relying on this wall. Who knew that this was impossible at all, the people inside They were blown out immediately, and when they woke up, they saw the people from the Cao's House in front of them, all of them were pointing at themselves with the chain crossbows in their hands, this guy was very agile I just threw the weapon in my hand on the ground, what a joke, I felt like I was going to die when I saw the arrow, not to mention the feeling that such a thing would shoot through me, I really can’t even think about it Dare to think, such a thing is too unimaginable for them. Of course, not everyone will throw the weapon directly. The guy in the corner over there has no such awareness, and even raised himself The big knife in his hand slashed at the man who looked like an officer opposite him. This man was Zhang Pu, and he shot out with a crossbow arrow. This was the first time Zhang Pu had murdered someone.

Most people would be a little scared after killing someone, but Zhang Pu didn't have any fear. In fact, he still had a little bit of fear in his heart. Can't show a little timid look, and said directly in his mouth, "Hmph, if you want to confront me head-on, I am not that material. Brothers, these gangsters have no intention of surrendering. After entering, you can kill them directly for your own safety. They, this is my permission." Zhang Pu said loudly, this guy used his loud voice to cover up himself, but it also encouraged himself, and immediately led the guards to move forward, and the others also took Raising the crossbow and rushing in, most people on the road would not resist, they are the kind of people who have committed the most heinous crimes, they want to fight at their last moment, otherwise they will not even have this chance, so they must They did this, but the final result was that they turned into hedgehogs. People in the strategic research department once made a statistic, that is, ordinary soldiers just shoot one person at a time, and you can die too. , but when facing recruits, the number of bastards will increase a lot. Generally speaking, the probability of hedgehogs appearing in the first battle of recruits is very high, and it is still surprising. When counting at the end, among the thousands of people who died, less than a hundred people were killed by one arrow, and all the rest were hit by more than 10 arrows. The death of these people is really tragic. The first one They will not die when the arrow goes in, they will still feel it, and they will die when all the others go in. This is really suffering when they are dying, but who let them meet a recruit What about the troops?

In fifteen minutes, the battle here was over. Zhang Pu made an inventory. The people here are all here, and the tunnel was directly sealed. The battle seems to be nothing, and I killed two people. Look at each of these brothers is also very happy. Basically nothing is wrong. Just when he was about to issue some commendation orders to the brothers below, the messenger came over on a fast horse. Judging from his appearance, something bad should happen to him. Zhang Pu took that guy to a place where there were not many people, and he couldn't let the bad news spread. This is what he learned in the military academy back then, and it was very useful for stabilizing the morale of the army. If not, It definitely won't have much effect. After a few words, Zhang Pu understands what's going on. Damn, their division's luck is not very good. It just so happens that one of their troops ran into reinforcements from the rear from the Southern Empire. Yes, the number exceeds 500,000 people. There was only one regiment with less than 5,000 people on his side. The gap is a hundred times. It has been more than half an hour now. I don’t know what is going on there. The road also takes time. Zhang Pu knows that even if the reinforcements closest to him come over, it will take a day. The airship can be used. They have three scout airships here, but they use them every time. That is to say, it can transport about 1,000 people, and it has no effect. It can only be done by the army on the ground. Fortunately, the work here has been completed, and I don’t know about other places. The Corps should be fine. I didn't expect to give myself such a chance when I participated in the battle for the first time. I don't worry about not having a battle.

"Pass my order. The cavalry regiment is responsible for the security of the city. They will give me their horses and give them to the infantry of the 131st regiment. In addition, we will collect some carriages from here and transport the ammunition at full speed. We must quickly support the 133rd regiment. The target is 30 miles northwest of the city, and advance at full speed. Anyone who dares to delay or disobey the order after receiving the order will be punished on the spot." Zhang Pu handed over to the head of the cavalry regiment immediately after he finished speaking, and took himself More than 300 people from the guard company rushed out of the city first. If the cavalry regiment passed by, the speed would definitely be faster, but the war over there was obviously a blocking battle, and the combat mission of the infantry regiment must be better. , The cavalry may have been useless in the past, why not let them guard the city? After I got there, the news from all over the place basically arrived, and I could know where to dispatch troops. In fact, for a division As far as the army is concerned, the 500,000 Nandi army is nothing. According to this ratio, at least an army of more than 1 million is capable of fighting them, but what we are encountering now is 5,000 people. The gap between them is a hundred times, which caused a certain disadvantage locally, and the infantry regiment was also recruited. It is estimated that many people might pee their pants in fear. This is a normal thing. The recruits are the biggest unstable factor on the battlefield. Except for these squad leaders, no one else has participated in the war. They all felt scared, and even a few of them wanted to desert, but they stayed only when they saw no one was leaving, but they didn't deny that if one left, a large area could be taken away.

"I've got a good look at it. There are hundreds of thousands of troops ahead. What's the matter? Look at where we are. We are a county seat. We have a ten-meter-high city wall. Can they fly up? No It is possible, look at the weapons in your hands, what is that, chain crossbow, invincible chain crossbow, this is what they are most afraid of, you can shoot ten at once, if you can aim, ten people will You can die there, even the latest recruits, you can kill one, how many crossbows do you have, everyone has more than 300, we also prepared 300 for you, everyone has 600 Well, how many people are there? We have 4932 people in our regiment, all of them are on the city wall, and the regiment leader is here. All you have to do is kill one person with six arrows. If this is the requirement, you all If I can't do it, I will go directly to the home of the instructor who trained you in your recruit company, and burn the house of this guy's house. It's because he didn't bring you to me well, and sent me a bunch of idiots, besides Well, as long as 200,000 of their 500,000 people die, the rest will disperse. 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 are you doing? The local militias are much stronger than you. Remember, you are all regular troops of Cao’s House. It’s the entire road The most elite army. There is nothing we can’t do. There are only things they can’t think of. There are super chain crossbows 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 trembling recruits.

When some very nervous recruits heard what their superiors said, they immediately felt less sad in their hearts. This matter seems to be very simple. During the training of their recruits, they hit nine times out of ten. Look at the dense army below, there is no need to 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 It is blocked, and it is impossible for them to come in. The infantry of our Cao's House is best at defense. During the Northern War, the Eastern Empire's hundreds of millions of troops did not break through our defense line. Now there is no such thing as barbed wire back then, but now our chain crossbow is much more advanced than that time, no matter in terms of range or penetration, it is not on the same level, and look The army in front of me seems to be exhausted. They must have traveled a long distance. Didn’t the platoon leader just say that they are going to be tired? We are called Yiyiwailai, and the commander is very close to us. Yes, as long as you can hold on for a while, the reinforcements from the division commander will come in a while, and when the time comes, you will be able to make dumplings for the people in front of you. After you go back, the reward orders from above will definitely come down. Who dares to say that their division is all recruits, it is pure fart, I am the first to find a lump of cow dung and stuff it into the mouth of the person who is talking, isn't this fart, did not see our first time Can we kill 600,000 troops including those who surrendered after participating in the battle? Did you have this ability when you were recruits? Are you kidding me, never heard of such a thing.

Soon the attack began. Wang Laosan was a butcher in the past, but later he felt that joining the army might be a good idea, so he joined the army of Cao's House of Merchant directly. He arrived here after three months of training. This guy often saw blood when he was young, but it was the blood of animals. He had encountered this murderous thing in his dreams, but he had never encountered it in reality. For these people in front of him, I just thought The one in front of him is the one who wants to run away, but what the leader said made him no longer want to run away. Damn it, the people around him are all his buddies. They were scared to death just now. Everyone said this meritorious service, and I also blew a few words to them, making them look like a veteran. This kind of thing is also a kind of comfort to them. Although they are still afraid, but in their own You can't be a coward in front of your friends. This is related to your reputation for the rest of your life. Wang Laosan calmly fired his first bow and arrow. From his eyes, you can see that his The eyes are also very good. A guy at a distance of 300 meters dodged directly and hit the guy's feet, but he also saw it. His target was still dead. I don't know which brother did it. That guy was so lucky, in order to avoid the chain crossbow he shot, his target turned his body sideways, and let that guy succeed. Forget it, anyway, no matter who killed it, he just died anyway, so go by yourself Just find the next target, the second one is lucky, that guy is useless to block it with a shield, or he was penetrated to death, so people still want to block it?

If it was the first-generation chain crossbow, your shield might still be able to block it, but now it is impossible for you. In less than ten minutes, you didn't use the super chain crossbow and mortar at all. , the tens of thousands of people who came to attack basically did not stand up, and many people below were injured, but their brothers behind did not dare to come to rescue them, and the people from Cao's Commercial Bank would not let them come. As long as you come into our range, I'm sorry, we will definitely kill you, this is on the battlefield, many things are beyond our control, we don't want to kill you, but if we don't kill you If so, we are a little worried about our lives, right? It is because of this reason that I can only be sorry for you. The army of the Southern Empire originally thought that it should be very easy to destroy the army of the Cao Family Firm with thousands of people. I never thought that I would run into the army of Cao's House here, so both sides were unprepared. When the first battle was over, they changed their strategy and the catapult was pulled out Oh, this thing is absolutely amazing, the serial crossbow basically has no harm to this thing, and there are quite a few first-level fighters in the Southern Emperor Army to operate this thing, and the speed is also very fast , but the army of Cao's House has mortars. Once this thing goes out, yours will be useless.

When the stones were continuously thrown on the city wall, they finally discovered the terrible tactics of the Southern Empire. They could move and attack. This is really too much, they can push and run Yes, as long as the mortars have confirmed their position, these guys will start pushing this thing and run away, there is no chance at all, but they can throw stones on the city wall while they are running, Nan When the army of the empire attacked, it did not count casualties at all. Even if the army of Cao’s House of Firms fired arrows vigorously, if they died, someone would immediately replace them. Just let the catapult work, such a thing is terrible for anyone, and the casualties of Cao's house began to rise. (To be continued..)
