Chapter 2145: People on the Wasteland

A stone with a diameter of about half a meter flew directly from a height of tens of meters. The soldiers of the Cao's Commercial Company here saw it one by one, but they had no way to avoid it because there were stones coming all around. I really didn't expect them to use such a method. The soldiers in front rushed forward desperately, and the soldiers on the city wall focused on these charging soldiers, and they didn't care about the catapults behind them. , that is to say, your ignorance caused you to start to suffer. Now those guys are all looking at the city wall cheerfully. Tens of thousands of people died, but what happened? We also killed hundreds of them. It is very difficult to cause casualties to them. They did it, and they did what the soldiers of the four empires could not do. What happened in exchange for human life? They also lost so many people back then, but they didn’t kill a single person from the Cao’s House. It’s already very good now, and several officials from the military department who came with the army also looked at it cheerfully. Well, no matter what, they at least have a little hope. The counterattack of Cao's House is very powerful, but we also have a way to deal with you. Of course, this way is only after such a confrontation. It doesn't matter if it's still valid, how many can go back to the capital to do business, they don't want to be in such a chaotic place. Too unsafe.

The soldiers of the Cao’s House on the city wall are all new recruits. If they have never seen any casualties, they can fight smoothly, but now that there are one-tenth of the casualties, they may also be the troops of the Cao’s House. The one with the highest casualty rate, some of their soldiers already felt scared. Such a thing was a bit unbelievable to them, but seeing the face of the squad leader next to them, no one retreated, and said nothing else. Let's just say that. They are qualified fighters. When Zhang Pu arrived, they had already suffered more than half of the casualties. The attack from the Southern Empire was too fierce. If they had brought a lot of artillery when they came. It is possible to suppress the catapult. But when they came, they thought it was the surrendered county. So I didn't bring these heavy weapons. After all, everyone has surrendered. What are you doing with so many weapons? The super serial crossbow can kill the enemy continuously, but the enemy doesn't care about human life at all. If you want to hit their trebuchet, they will block it with human life. It doesn't have much effect. After all, the super serial crossbow is a tool to deal with people. It is not very effective for these devices. Now it is a more serious form in front of the Cao's army. They met Threat, in the past, they had to kill at least 200,000 siege soldiers before they would suffer casualties, but now the opponent has 200,000 dead, but they have lost half of them. 200,000 of the soldiers died and retreated a long time ago, but they haven't left now. This is because the soldiers of the Southern Empire have seen hope, the hope of victory.

The most important point on the battlefield is that you can’t give hope to your enemies, just like the 500,000 Southern Empire soldiers in front of you. If it was the same as before, they would have died by 200,000. The soldiers in the army have not suffered much damage and have maintained the best combat effectiveness, so no matter how their officers attack them or beat them, they will not go up.

At that time, if you rushed up, you would die, and there would be nothing in the end, but it is different now. They also died 200,000 people, but the people of Cao's Commercial Bank also died thousands of people. There are only more than 4,000 people, and more than half of them are dead now. These people have another idea in their hearts. They feel that as long as they work hard, they may take down this city. The two billion troops on the front line did not do it. The things that come to them can be done in their hands. They may be famous forever. Even an ordinary soldier hopes that they can pass it on. Although people in future generations may not be able to know themselves, how many They themselves have also experienced this incident before them, so they all rushed up one after another. They are going to become the heroes of the empire. They may be the first to take the city from the hands of Cao's house. One point, as long as they can survive in the future, their lives will be more brilliant, and it is because of this that when their commanders want them to advance, they all rushed forward bravely. It seems that the front is no longer the city wall of Cao's House, but a big city that represents money and honor. Their eyes were blinded by this, and they forgot the bow and arrow that came.

"Regimental Commander, we still have more than a thousand people left. They have already built ladders at the broken part of the city wall. Should we retreat?" The chief of staff of the regiment had already broken an arm by a stone. He bandaged it up a little bit. Although he didn't have much fighting power, he still didn't go down. Just now he killed several soldiers from the Southern Empire with his newly issued hand crossbow. It was because of their hundreds of injuries. With the help of the soldiers, the defense line on the city wall was not breached by the opponent. Now for their infantry regiment, the combat effectiveness of the wounded soldiers is also very important, because so many people died, their defense line is already somewhat damaged Well, if their weapons were not very powerful, the city wall would have been breached long ago. At this time, the opponent's trebuchets also stopped attacking. It seems that their stones are not enough. Fortunately, this place is a plain area. Well, if this is a mountainous area, they probably can throw all the stones over, and maybe they can bury the whole city. Hearing what the chief of staff said, the regiment leader got down from a super-i chain crossbow, and the soldiers hurriedly seized the time Replace the quiver for the super chain crossbow, the 300 just now have been used up. The head of the regiment was born to operate this thing, and his shooting accuracy is much stronger than that of ordinary people. With 300 crossbow bolts, he can at least do more than half of the casualties. If other people operate it, it is estimated that it is only one-third One is very good, because the soldier who operated this thing just now was killed by the bow and arrow shot up from below, so the regiment leader made up for it. In just ten minutes, the regiment leader killed hundreds of people. His This record can be surpassed by few people for a while, and the team leader is indeed the boss.

"Retreat? Where can we retreat? The people in this city don't welcome us very much. Don't listen to what they said just now. I have already been investigated by someone, and they all have their own weapons. Usually, we are not afraid of these guys playing tricks on us, but now we only have this person. We still have more than a thousand people. As long as we retreat from the city wall, we have no way to fight the enemy in the street , the common people here will not support us, they are not the common people in our base areas. Now they are all from the Southern Empire, they all think that we are going to rob them, tell the soldiers below, now our regiment has arrived It's the last time, as long as we can hold the city wall, our reinforcements will definitely come, but if we tear it down, we will all die here, their stones are running out, and this place It's not a place with many rocks, if they think they can rush through here, then let our bodies bet on them." The head of the group said boldly, and did not waste time after speaking, just rushed up This shooter was pulled down. This kid is pretty good for an ordinary soldier, but his accuracy is only half of that of the regiment leader. If he is to come, I don’t know how much bow and arrow will be wasted. Now Cao The bows and arrows from the merchant firm have hit here, and there are still more than half of them. Any bow and arrow is very precious. If it is operated well, it is a life of the Southern Empire, so there is not so much time for this. The kid has gotten used to things like this here, so it's better for him to take over quickly.

The words of the head of the regiment were quickly conveyed, and the people below all knew that their army was not far away from here, and they would definitely come to help them, and each of them regained their fighting spirit. It is already very good that the new army can fight to this level. If it was unimaginable in the past, it is precisely because of this reason that they have created a miracle. They hope that this miracle can go a little further. In this way It was not so easy for the brothers behind to overtake them. When the enemy's attack stopped, they had a rare few minutes to breathe. The opponent seemed to have changed their direction. Come over, it seems that there are about tens of thousands of people, and the other party is already dead, more than half of them. Just looking at the corpses below, there must be hundreds of thousands of people. Medicines and doctors. These injured people are generally impossible to survive. After they go back, they will die early due to wound inflammation or something. This is a certain thing, and they want to continue. Staying there, that is also impossible, there is no need for injuries in the army, the Southern Empire has never cared about injuries, you just fend for yourself there, and the rest has nothing to do with us Yes, we also gave you money, although it is not much, but there is always some, but the phalanx that comes out now seems to be different from other soldiers, if Li Cong is here, you can see Come out, the costumes on them seem to be people from the primitive tribes on the earth. These people are wearing very little clothes. Are they here to dance the hula dance?

Of course, these people will not come to dance any hula dances. They are soldiers newly acquired by the people of the Southern Empire. They are a nation in the wasteland of the Southern Empire. It is a wasteland, about the size of four provinces, and there are over 100 million nomads in it. They don't care much about the outside world, and they don't care about the war between the Southern Empire and the Cao's army. Meaning, but they all know that they are in the territory of the Southern Empire, and the army of the Southern Empire is very powerful. Although these people cannot threaten them, because in the wasteland, no one is their opponent. Throwing a scimitar His ability made the people of the Southern Empire who sent troops in back then suffer a lot, but now they have to send troops to this place to fight for the Southern Empire because the Southern Empire wants to block the wasteland. Of course, not many of their troops came out. This time, less than 30,000 people came. The Southern Empire government didn’t know whether their people could play a role in the war. It is not that simple for the army to come out. If it is useful, they will definitely be called out in large numbers. A soldier of Cao's firm. You can give them a hundred coins. If the soldiers outside heard the price, they would quit immediately, but the interior of the wasteland is too poor, and there is a lack of things like gold and silver, and a hundred coins is already a lot. They all came out for this. They all want to kill a few soldiers of Cao's firm. You can live a good life when you go back.

It can be said that they all have their own characteristics. First of all, the people in front of them are all over 2.5 meters tall. Although the height of people in this era is not less than 1.8 meters, they are still very scary for such a height. They don't know what these people do, but they will understand how they respond after the formation is completed. What's wrong, what they were carrying in front of them turned out to be a three-meter-high stone shield. Damn, what is a strongman? Such a person is a strongman. Two people can lift a shield. It is impossible to hit their people. It is too high. The people of Cao's House of Commerce found that their people are still far away after hitting for a while. If they are close, they can just throw a grenade. Now I still can't pass Yes, it's just that they all stopped, aren't they going to attack the city? What are you going to do now? Soon, the people of Cao's House on the city wall understood what these people wanted to do, and the people behind them all threw out the scimitars in their hands. Damn, how strong are they? The distance of thousands of meters? But, in fact, this is a misunderstanding of the people of Cao's House. The scimitar they threw was not only thrown by their strength, but also the force of the wind, just like before. When the children on the earth were flying around, they all used a kind of turning force. When this thing flew above the city wall, it directly massacred the people of Cao's House, but the hit rate It wasn't like that, just like this time, thousands of people threw this thing, and less than a hundred people were injured, and the rest either hit the city wall or went back.

Although only less than a hundred people were injured, there are now more than a thousand combatants in Cao's House. They were dumbfounded when they encountered such a situation. How could there be such an army? To be honest, these Caos The people in the commercial firm fought the war so smoothly that they didn't remember how to fight such a difficult war. They could only pull the trigger crazily, hoping to find a little weakness of these people, but very It's a pity that this is impossible. They didn't hit them at all. Those rocks are too powerful. A lot of grenades were thrown down, but they couldn't reach them at all. Mortars were enough. Arrived, but because the number is not very large, besides, there are also many people on the other side. If someone dies here, someone will be replaced immediately there, so it seems that their phalanx of more than a thousand people seems to be a little None of them has been reduced. This kind of thing made the officers and soldiers of Cao's House dumbfounded. 231 people were killed and 119 people were injured. These scimitars are very powerful. Basically, if they touch them, they will definitely lose their fighting power. At this time, the army of the Southern Empire has divided into 100,000 troops, and they are still attacking from all sides. , Cao's Commercial Bank's army, which was already understrength, began to feel anxious. They looked at the distance, and they could already see the airship of Cao's Commercial Bank. As long as they persisted for a while, their own people would come Yes, they can escape the attack of the people on the city wall, but it is absolutely impossible to escape the attack of the people on the airship. They will all be killed. This is a certain thing, and it depends on whether you can persist.

It can be said that the army of the Southern Empire encountered by this regiment this time was an experimental army. They were here to adapt to some new tactics. For them, they did not know what effect these things would have. People from the three empires have jointly researched something. They don't have the weapon of Cao's House of Commerce, so they can only look for something else to attack Cao's House of Trade. Although a lot of them died, it can be seen now that they can exchange ten people for one person in Cao's house, especially for those people in the wasteland, they can reach five people or even lower Yes, it would be a dereliction of duty if such a thing was not promptly notified to the higher authorities. The people in the army looked at the remaining army of less than 150,000 troops, and at the airship coming from Cao's House in the distance. Not for fools. Back then, this thing was able to rampage in the capital of the Eastern Empire with such a small army. They can't resist such a thing, and they must hurry up while they can still run out now. They are all pioneers of this tactic. You absolutely can't let anything happen to you right here. Everyone is emphasizing their importance. In fact, there is only one purpose, that is, they have to retreat quickly, if they can't retreat. In the future, it will be a great loss to the entire empire. What they say is high-sounding, but the general who leads the team understands that they are all afraid of death. According to their own ideas, they must restore this county, but seeing Cao's House's airship was coming soon, and they were also worried about their own lives, so they hurriedly withdrew their troops. The people of Cao's House of Trade breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this voice.

If they are attacking the city vigorously from all sides at the same time, it is estimated that the people above may not be able to hold on. They are very clear about how capable these people are. The people with combat power were killed, and the serial crossbows in many people's hands were out of ammunition. If this continued to be fought, it would probably be melee combat, which Cao's firm was not good at. Cao's firm never advocated it. The soldiers engaged in melee combat. For them, melee combat has no technical content at all. They all understand this matter and must use their own skills to fight against them, that is, the chain crossbow in their hands. , but now the actual situation tells them that things are not that simple, they also have such a powerful weapon, if it is not done well, maybe these people will kill them all, this is because the airship on their side is here Well, otherwise, I don’t know where to find my head today. These hundreds of people looked at the comrades who were happy a few hours ago, and now their bodies are going to be stiff. For a period of time, if it weren't for the recent period, it would not have reached the current level. These damned guys don't know what they are doing. How could such a situation happen? Those special things Where did it come from? It seems that from now on, the war with the Southern Empire will not be so easy in the future. The Southern Empire should carry forward this tactic, otherwise, they will not study this. If the battle losses are lowered However, it will be even more difficult for Cao's house to occupy these areas in the future.

When the airship of Cao's House arrived here, they couldn't believe that everything in front of them was real. From their point of view, it seemed that something was wrong. Was it all caused by the devil? How could the people of Cao's House of Merchant have suffered such a severe defeat in front of them? There are nearly 5,000 people in the regiment, and there are less than 700 combatants left, and more than 4,000 casualties. This was absolutely unbelievable in the past. Zhang Pu was also surprised when he brought his guards here, but He didn't cry with some people here like other people. This guy has his own thoughts. If he cries at this time, it can only be said to be the most useless behavior. He immediately put the remaining people here. They all got together, let them tell what happened just now one by one, and then went to the city wall to look at the scimitars left behind, and immediately asked their guards to take this thing to the intelligence department of Cao's house Go, let them investigate this matter as quickly as possible. No matter what kind of line is used, this matter must be investigated anyway. The rest of the matter will naturally be revenge. Although the 112 division has been in the city I haven't fought any tough battles, but one can be regarded as a regular army of Cao's firm. Now that something like this happens, it must not be locked up like a turtle with a shrinking head. That is not my style of doing things. Vengeance must be avenged, and it must be avenged immediately. He knew that those people had infantry in their hands, and they would not run too fast. Zhang Pu immediately ordered the airship to bite them tightly. It is estimated that there must be some big fish among them. Now that you are here, don't go back. In addition to bringing the regiment in his hand and his guard company, Zhang Pu immediately asked two nearby regiments to come to support. He knew that with these weapons, the Southern Emperor Army would definitely not be the same as before. In the past, his two regiments could kill 500,000 of them, but now it's not that simple. It's better for him to be honest.

The leading general of the Southern Empire is also very happy this time. It can be said that it is not so simple for the empire to get these people from the wasteland. These people used to fight against the empire fiercely. In their eyes There is no concept of empire at all. For them, it is better to kill them than to let them come here to do business, if it is not for the threat of the empire. A lot of magicians were dispatched. It is estimated that they will not come out. Now that it is all right, they will definitely be persecuted in the future. The empire has already sent experts to arrest the bosses of their tribe. The empire also told them. The heads of 500,000 soldiers of Cao's House of Commerce can make their boss some freedom. As long as the empire and the people from the Cao's House of Commerce can negotiate, their boss can go back, if they can't win. If you don't fight hard, then I'm sorry, you can only collect the body of your boss. For barbarians like you, the empire has always followed such a high-pressure policy, and it will never be soft-hearted. Of course, these people are Knowing that this test was successful, their boss can save his life, but it is not a good thing for the entire race, these people will definitely continue to use their people, tens of thousands of people came this time, It will not be so cheap in the future, at least tens of millions of people, each of them is precious, they don't want to sacrifice their lives for the people of the Southern Empire, but there is no way not to.

"General, it's not good. The airships of Cao's House are chasing us. They are no more than 2,000 meters away from us. It is estimated that they will arrive above us in a few minutes. There are three of them. General, what should we do?" A scout hurriedly ran to the general's side. When this guy was talking, he looked back. Damn, when I found out that they were still far away from me, I really didn't expect to be so close to my own. In front of my eyes, this thing really surprised me. The speed of this thing is really too fast. If this thing really flies, I don’t know what it will do to people like me. These people heard his words I was also dumbfounded, didn't I just win just now, how could someone else's airship be able to catch up, for these people in the wasteland, they have never seen these things, how can they fly in the sky, can see They arrived very quickly. Could this be organized by the people who killed just now? Could it be that they came to take revenge? Everyone looked at the general with a little fear. The general glanced at the people around him. He could only say sorry now. He had to report this matter back. He glanced at his guards. Sixth-level fighters, his guards are also five-level fighters, and the gentlemen of the imperial military department are all in the carriage. They don't know what's going on here. Those guys said the same thing, I have to go, and it is impossible for any of you to go with you, I am sorry for you.

The general immediately pulled the scouts down, and the guards around him also snatched the good horses, and then ran forward without saying anything, the ministers of the military department wanted to come out Seeing what was going on, I felt their carriage galloping. It turned out that the airship had already reached the top of their heads at this time, and it took only a minute. They walked on the mountain road for half an hour. They fly from the sky. No matter how difficult the roads are, they are nothing to the things that fly in the sky. As long as they have fuel, it is very easy to go anywhere. , When it comes to your heads, it is naturally not as simple as just taking a look. These people from the wilderness are still standing there and watching stupidly. Those with horses immediately rushed out to catch up with the general, and those without horses had to find a place to hide. They would never stand here stupidly. That would be the second-best one. Standing in such a place is against yourself. Irresponsible for the life of such a person, no one cares if such a person dies. As for the old ministers of the military department, I am sorry for you. You are not capable people. You can’t even ride a horse. Your coachmen have all run away, you can only yell hard here, this can also play a certain role. At least, the people from Cao’s House will shoot arrows at you when they see you. You people don’t need to be alive anymore. Your final role is to attract the attention of the people from Cao’s House to our people. The day will be very good.

The general's reaction speed can be said to be very fast, and there is no time to delay at this time. If there is a slight delay, it will be a fatal injury to them. Several of his guards understand The meaning is still very good, each of these people has seen the dawn of this matter. They are also very tight. After these people rode for a while, they immediately threw the horses on the side of the road. The horses were indeed fast, but now their task has been completed, if they continue to ride them. It will definitely be discovered by the people of Cao's house. At that time, the enemy above the head is the most difficult to be killed. They can only be killed, they have a destination to run when they are riding fast, and now they have arrived at the place they want to go. This is the forest, from here, there are thousands of miles of forest in front of it, the trees inside are probably the oldest hunters here, and they don’t know how long they have been there, so it will still be very safe in such a place Yes, for them, it is no problem to run out in the mountains and forests, there are at most some wild beasts in it, as long as they do not encounter monsters, they are no problem, in such a human hinterland, it is absolutely There can be no monsters, of course they all know it clearly, if there are monsters, they will definitely choose to fight to the death with the people of Cao's house, if they encounter monsters, they will definitely die ugly, they don't want to do that of.

The fate of the remaining troops can be imagined. The airships of Cao's House kept attacking them from above. They also saw the forest in the distance, but it was not that simple for them to run over. The people on the airship of the commercial firm have also seen how those generals passed by. They have already made mistakes and let those generals run over. There will never be a second mistake. If you If they are all let go, they will stop messing around, now is what they have to do, what they have to do now is to end all this, an airship quickly flew to the front of these teams, and the road continued One of the grenades was thrown at the front of the line, and the cluster grenade was thrown down. The people in front did not dare to pass because they saw it, and it seemed that the grenade was thrown too hard. If you walk forward, it seems that you can slow down a little bit. In other words, you can die later. There are no other things. Of course they understand these things. If you run over If you catch them, they won't be able to catch up with you, and they might just run away, but if you want to go back, they will kill you slowly. They still have the ability. Live a little longer, I have to do that, the result of not doing that is that I will die now, even if it is a minute, it is very good, they will consider such things, know what to do, the above Seeing them going back, the airship immediately sent a signal to the chasing troops behind, okay, they are hopeless.

It is not a good thing for any general to have the general escape, but today he does not feel guilty at all. Their people killed thousands of people in Cao's business, which is enough for them. They were the people from Cao's House who were killed in the siege battle. Speaking of which, he should be the hero of the empire. A hero's life should not just die like that. He must bring these things back. Go to the capital and tell the people in the capital this tactic, so that they can continue to train a large number of such troops, those catapults, those people in the wasteland, that's it, he can continue to get promoted and make a fortune, at least his own official There is no problem in upgrading to a level, because I brought the news back. No one else has such ability. I have achieved great success. These people are not as lucky as myself. Thinking of the incident just now Several old men in the military department are still pointing fingers at me. I also thought that I might need their help in the future. I have served them for several days like my grandson. Under such circumstances, your official position is better than mine. how? What's wrong with your title? What is the final result? I'm sorry, your ability is not as good as mine, but I ran out safely, and now I'm still alive, looking back at you, you are already dead, you can't live anymore, you can only die there honestly Yes, next year at this time I will burn paper for the year, don't worry.

While the general was still mourning for those people in his heart, a machete flew over, and he was about to dodge it, but unfortunately, someone came behind him and killed him directly, and the rest Several guards were also hit by the scimitar. The general looked back with some difficulty. It turned out that this was the lieutenant he trusted the most. He also told him that he was going to escape. Then he looked at the surrounding woods and came out. Many people in the wasteland, is this guy crazy? How did these people in the wasteland come out? They can't ride a horse, shouldn't they all die there? How could it be possible to come here?

"Hehe, it's strange, isn't it? In fact, let me tell you that this time the wasteland not only sent 20,000 troops, but at least hundreds of thousands of troops. But now they don't need to worry so much, I also came from there People, it’s just that I’ve been here with you for too long, you don’t even remember what I do, do you understand now? People in the wilderness can’t become cannon fodder for the imperial court, so you can do whatever you want, Sometimes things don’t go the way you want, now you can die with peace of mind, as for me, I have to die here too, we can’t go back.” After the guy finished speaking, he gave himself a knife, no It is necessary to be alive, and all the people will die here, so that when the people of the court investigate, they will know that the people from Cao's house killed them, and these two tactics will not continue to be implemented. Is there any ethnic group that might really be exterminated because of this matter? They are not the opponents of Cao's firm, and they cannot fill this hole with their lives. (To be continued..)
