Chapter 2180 Enlightenment

Many soldiers below still have to stand and watch what happened to their collision, but Wu Cai didn't have so much time to watch this, because he knew very well that at this time 90% of the people were watching This, then I don’t want to read it. It’s better for me to do some more beneficial things, such as adjusting or looking at the position of General Mu Lun now. If this can be the first hit, it can definitely change the situation of the battle, but This kind of thing is not so easy. If it is on the earth, those sophisticated instruments will measure the impact point of oneself, but on this planet, everything must be estimated by one's own prediction, but it doesn't matter. , A lot of artillery has been gathered, and the artillery shells have just been transported. The hundreds of thousands of shells are definitely enough. The artillery of the Third Army is all They are all scattered. If these things gather together, they will bring them a lot of losses. General Mu Lun has absolute confidence in the cavalry he trained himself. If the cavalry of the Southern Empire is the Royal When the members of the Guards Cavalry Corps came, I might be afraid of three points, but these people obviously don't have the capital to scare me. These cavalrymen probably have a little combat power. , look at the expressions of the soldiers of the Southern Empire. They are all people who hate war, and they will never express their intention to die on the battlefield. Now what General Mu Lun wants is His own cavalry worked hard to break up their formation, and then directly killed these people. Pinshu.com (w W W . V o Dtw . c o M). 23uS. This kind of thing can be worthy of his title of Marshal. As for the army of Cao's House of Merchant over there, he has already ignored it. In his opinion, the people of Cao's House of Trade are not soldiers at all, they can only be long-distance soldiers. It is possible to attack, but if it is really close, it will be a mess.

General Mu Lun himself is a ninth-level fighter, and he has the perception ability that no one else has. At this time, the cavalry of the Western Empire has already suppressed the cavalry of the Southern Empire. If it weren't for the support of some artillery fire from Cao's house. Now the defense line of the Southern Empire is about to be broken through by them, and now the soldiers of the Southern Empire are pinning their hopes on the artillery fire of Cao's House, but a strange thing happened at this time, that is, the artillery fire of Cao's House It stopped suddenly. Don't say that Cao's house doesn't have enough shells at this time. Such an oolong will definitely not happen to Cao's house. Their military supplies are in place, just watch their airships come one by one every day, all of them are super large. Thousands of tons of supplies can be delivered every time. It is said that their soldiers are still eating meat buns. Look at our side. Although it is good, there is no way to compare it with others. If they can also eat meat buns, it is estimated that their combat effectiveness will definitely be stronger. If there is meat on this battlefield, their combat effectiveness will definitely increase a lot. Just like now, they all understand this matter, but many people have There is no way to do this, just like the army of the Western Empire, there are nearly 200 million people on the front line, and the logistics of these 200 million people need about 300 million people to bear, which has already brought a lot of trouble to the local governments behind. The pressure is on, so they really have no way to transport some meat to the front line. Besides, they don't have the speed of Cao's airship. If they are all transported here, they may be broken here. If the soldiers eat this kind of food, it is better not to eat it. If they have diarrhea after eating this kind of food, this matter will be more enjoyable. At that time, the defeat of the war will be regarded as a reliance.

But not many people want to see this reliance.

It’s a long way to talk about this. What I want to talk about now is the perception ability of General Mu Lun. He feels that this matter is not that simple. The people of Cao’s House will definitely have a lot of shells. The reason why they stopped There must be more important things to support the Southern Empire. Looking at the front of Cao's House, there is no need for artillery fire at all. Those things that are constantly exploding have already trapped hundreds of thousands of cavalry inside. , if they want to go forward, the front will explode, and when they retreat, the rear will also explode. This kind of thing makes them feel very incomprehensible, even if they stand still, it is not acceptable, although it is possible Let them stop stepping on landmines, but the serial crossbow of Cao's House is not polite, and more than half of the people died in it in a short time. This does not need the support of artillery fire, so it is not here, it should Where is it? Suddenly, General Mulun looked at the pennant behind him, damn it, their target was Lao Tzu, that’s right, the artillery fired again at this time, and the target was General Mulun in front of them, no one thought The target of Cao's House is actually here. It was already too late when General Mu Lun thought of this. The artillery directly stunned General Mu Lun. General Lun was surrounded inside, but they were all flesh and blood, and there was nothing they could do about it. They could just stay there honestly, and it wasn't that simple for them to rush out. Yes, the knights are these people who are messing around. General Mu Lun himself is a ninth-level fighter, and mere shells can't bring him substantial damage. Everything about him now is just a fear of the unknown. I didn't expect such a thing to suddenly appear in the base camp of the Southern Empire. The people fighting in the front were originally high-spirited, but now it's just...

The first thing they worry about is the life and death of their boss. If their boss dies before the war is serious, this is not a good thing. Soldiers on the battlefield will be very superstitious. , they will all believe that this is something that God will punish them. If this is not done well, it is really possible to be planted here in the end. About half of the 400 personal guards of General Mu Lun were killed or injured. As mentioned above, General Mu Lun himself has nothing to do, although he is injured. But it was fine in an instant, he had more panacea, but he made himself so embarrassed at the beginning, he couldn't bear such a thing, and the actions of Cao's firm also attracted more troops to them , about 4 million archers began to slowly move towards the barracks of Cao's House. The range of the archers of the Western Empire is about half of that of Cao's House, but there are so many people. The people in front died in the past. , the people behind will make up for it. Moreover. We also shoot while walking, we know that our speed is not as fast as yours, but we have a lot of people, one of you is worth ten of us? it does not matter. We have more than twenty people here against yourself. It doesn't matter that you killed nineteen of us. As long as the last person kills you, we will be considered a victory in this matter. They have all been indoctrinated by their superiors. Everyone rushed forward without fear of death. I may not be one of the tenth of the people, but I am definitely not a person who is afraid of death. If I die, I will definitely have a person from the Cao's firm in the end. Those who were buried with them, that is, their idea, made bows and arrows appear in the army of Cao's Commercial Bank for a while, and they all came from the sky, and there were quite a few of them.

Wu Cai has no good way to deal with this kind of thing, mother, some of their archers are galloping over, so that he can shoot an arrow, and then he will be shot by the serial crossbow of Cao's House I turned it into a hornet and gave it to me. I don’t care about it. That arrow may cause a lot of casualties to the people of Cao’s House. Even if it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. At least a few of you When I saw that bow and arrow, because of the dodge brought by myself, you released a lot of chain crossbows in a unit time, which gave more of us a chance. It doesn’t matter, we are human There are many, now there is no problem for us to die a few, that is, because of this problem, the defense line of Cao's house began to be in a hurry everywhere, and even a few cavalry rushed in , Seeing that their horses are all good horses, but they were quickly killed by officers with hand crossbows. Now they must not mess up the formation. Wu Cai did not expect that he would win the bombardment of General Mu Lun The army of the Southern Empire over there was dumbfounded by the fierce counterattack. They did not expect the army of the Western Empire to be desperate. Such a thing would not be possible for them, and they also knew The people in the Cao's House of Commerce are closely related to them, but without the artillery support from the Cao's House of Trade, they don't know how long they can hold their defenses, let alone ask someone to come over to support them. If they divide their forces now , will soon be defeated by the cavalry of the Western Empire, so now I can only take care of myself. Wu Cai also told the liaison officer of the Southern Empire that he really has no ability to help you now. , we can only rely on ourselves, and now the soldiers of the Western Empire are obviously starting to work hard one by one. If we don't fight them, we will be in danger.

Because of the artillery of Cao's House, General Mu Lun did not dare to go too far ahead. Although he retreated beyond the range of the artillery to damage his majesty, but now he can't care so much for his own life. , In fact, just now he could feel that those things would not pose any threat to him, but the guards around him were too nervous one by one. They all died so many people. My heart is also very painful. These people are loyal to me. They have been with me for so many years. If something like this happens, I can’t explain it to their family members. Seeing that I can be a marshal , you can follow me to eat and drink spicy food. I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time. Thinking of this, he said in an atmosphere, "Give me an order to attack the army of Cao's House, as long as it can break them For the first line of defense, everyone will be rewarded ten taels of silver, the first person to enter will be given ten taels of gold, and all officers will be promoted to a higher rank." There must be brave men under heavy rewards, this sentence Absolutely right, after receiving such a promise from their general, the Xidi army, which was already very powerful in attack, felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. If the charge was too slow, the reward might be blamed It is not my own. Of course, there are still some people who are watching with cold eyes. They can also see it at this time. It is easy to say, and the money is not too small. At least it is much higher than before, but there is still a problem that the danger of this war is much greater than before. If you are not careful, you will not have a chance to stand up Well, such things are a real threat to them, so these people are not so aggressive in rushing forward. Who doesn't want to be promoted and get rich, but the most important thing now is their own life.

At this time, the artillery of Cao's Commercial Company did not have the energy to launch a surprise attack on General Mulun, and now they poured all their artillery on the position in front of them. Some barrels have been replaced several times. In the past, landmines could still play a certain role, but now they are useless. The people of the Western Empire used millions of lives to spill out the entire minefield. This kind of thing made Wu Cai also Feel a little surprised. Oh shit. Know that your life is not so valuable. But you can't play this way, you thought that the secret weapon of mines would be useful, but I really didn't expect to meet your crowd at this time. It doesn't have any direct effect. It seems that in the future, you really can't be underestimated. This kind of thing makes Wu Cai only order to fire hard. The artillerymen are already very tired, and they are already continuous The 127mm artillery has fired four bases. For example, one base is 30 rounds, and five bases are 150 rounds. Usually, three bases need to take a break. This is good for people and cannons It is beneficial, but now the 5 bases have already entered, and there is no need to rest. The damage of the cannon is already very serious, but the people of Cao's House have also reached their limit, but they are all honest Do your own thing, if you really can't stand it anymore, then take out a potion and drink it. This thing is sent from above. 20% recovery, but this thing can only be used twice a day. Although the above has sent this thing down, it also said that it must be used at the most critical time. This thing is used It also means that our combat potential has dropped a lot, so everyone must stick to it. If we can't keep it, no amount of medicine will be effective.

If the potion of Cao's Commercial Bank was made by himself, it would cost a lot of money. This thing was made by Li Cong himself. He had already killed the guy in the wilderness gathering place, and he also got it. A lot of experience points, now he is doing another thing, otherwise, he will definitely come here, even if these medicines are only 50 taels of silver, it is not very cheap, there are nearly two million people here Yes, Li Cong exchanged 5 million and sent them all. Of course, except for artillery and airship soldiers, other soldiers did not have such treatment, because other soldiers were not as tired as them. , only the artillerymen are the most tired. The one who transported the shells among them is already too tired to get up. Who said that the war is so fierce? Wu Cai is the most regretful at this time. If I knew it was If it was like this, I might have ordered millions of landmines to be planted last night. That thing would definitely stop them. All these things were laid down by those people with their bodies, and such things really frightened them, but now they understand such things, and they will never do things when they do things in the future. You can slip your hands, but you have to do it with all your strength. Now because I didn’t do my best, I let them kill me one by one in the end. Seeing myself, everyone is exhausted. , the most important thing is to let the army of the Western Empire see the hope of defeating itself, how can such a thing be possible? If the army of Cao's House of Firms is defeated here, General Mulun's method may be very useful, and more people will learn it by then, and it will not be good for other armies in the future a good thing.

General Mu Lun saw from a distance that his cavalry was already approaching the defense line of Cao's House. From now on, there are about a few thousand stragglers within 100 meters of the defense line, but these people should not be of much use Yes, because they die within two minutes, but they also have their own functions. For example, a person has more than a dozen chain crossbows on his body. One of their functions is to consume a lot of ammunition from Cao's House up. There are already tens of thousands of people at the distance of 100 meters to 300 meters, and there are 100,000 people at the distance of 500 meters. The 1000-meter defensive circle stipulated by Cao's Commercial Bank has actually been broken by them. There is no other way now, but to fight to the death with them. If it is close combat, the people of Cao's Commercial Bank will not suffer much. As early as the day before yesterday, the people from the headquarters sent 1.5 million hands The crossbow and the matching crossbow bolts, in close combat, the role of the hand crossbow can be said to be very good, this thing is a nightmare for the enemy. Just imagine it. When the enemy rushed up with their weapons, you raised your hand and killed them. The things they worked hard for a long time basically have no effect, and they will never engage in hand-to-hand combat with you. Although the people of Cao's House of Merchant have also undergone hand-to-hand combat training for a while. But then it was over. Because the people in Cao's House feel that training this thing is not as good as directly equipping hand crossbows. Things like hand crossbows are a sharp weapon to end hand-to-hand combat, but this thing must not be used at this time. If it is used now, it will be a nightmare for the people of Cao's House, and it is absolutely impossible, because there are too many people in the Western Empire. If we let them all rush over, our people will definitely not It will be their opponents. In the end, our people will die more, maybe all of them will die.

What General Mu Lun thought in his heart was that he would fight hand-to-hand with the people from the Cao Family Firm. In fact, he was not the only one who was so cautious. All the generals who were hostile to the Cao Family Firm and the enemies they met on the battlefield were all Such an idea, in their minds, is that the soldiers of Cao's firm are not considered real soldiers. What have they done? There is no blood at all, just come out in a neat queue, and then fire their chain crossbows. There is no blood at all. Such an army relies on their weapons. In fact, what they said is correct , At the beginning, many people said that as long as the supply of weapons from the Cao's House of Commerce is not timely, they may fall behind, but now it is different from that time. It's really not that easy to find the weak point of Cao's Commercial Bank. In the past, they were still ambush in some places with relatively high altitudes, trying to block the airship of Cao's Commercial Bank, but in the end they all paid For the price he should pay, the airship of Cao's Commercial Bank directly raised his height a lot. If he wants to intercept other people's airship, he should stop dreaming. Even if he wants to dream, it will definitely not be at this time Yes, it’s better to be honest. Cao’s firm’s army sometimes makes mistakes, just like now. In fact, they shouldn’t have confronted the soldiers of the Western Empire in the first place. Only if they can keep themselves It is the best, especially when you meet someone like General Mu Lun. This guy is desperate to take the land of the Southern Empire. Now the people of the Southern Empire can't stand it anymore. Cao's House One-fifth of the people were also casualties, and more than hundreds of thousands of people lost their fighting power. This is already a big loss, but there is no way to do it. The gap between the two armies is too big. Especially in numbers.

Finally, one of the artillerymen of Cao's House couldn't hold on anymore. This guy was so tired that he died suddenly, and the others were also on the verge of collapse. At this time, Wu Cai also saw that the cavalry of the Western Empire not far away was already on the verge of collapse. They rushed over, and they were about to enter the camp of Cao's House. Frankly speaking, when he came here on Earth, he thought that they would never lose to these people equipped with modern weapons, but Now he understands that sometimes you have to admit defeat, 200 million people broadcast tens of millions of people to beat you, and less than 2 million people, especially when you are not ready, your failure is inevitable To avoid, there are still a lot of weapons and ammunition in his space ring, but there are not enough people, and those potions have already been drunk, and now they are at the end of their rope. They are all bombing vigorously, and their drivers have not rested for a long time, but unfortunately, they can no longer support them. They have been fighting for dozens of hours. Even an iron man couldn't hold on. The battle situation had already entered a stalemate yesterday, but today this stage was broken, that is, people from the Western Empire delivered hundreds of war crossbows. They transported these things as quickly as possible, which is different from the first day. At that time, the army of Cao's Commercial Company could kill them all with artillery, but now it is impossible Something happened, because their artillery was exhausted a lot, and the defense line of Cao's House was often breached in the past two days. As long as it was necessary, the artillery had to take the chain crossbow to fight against them. Therefore, the number of artillerymen is decreasing, and now less than one-third of them can still exert normal combat effectiveness.

The war raged on again for another day. During this day. The army of the Southern Empire left the people of Cao's house and began to retreat by themselves, because they had already suffered tens of millions of casualties, which reached one-third of them. They lost land in ten provinces. The so-called defeat is like a mountain. Their people run faster than rabbits, and the people of the Western Empire finally got the land they wanted, but they have also been sending more than 15 million fresh troops to the front line every day for the past few days. Now their frontline army has reached nearly 400 million people, but 32.3 million of them have lost their lives, and 90% of them died in front of the barracks of Cao's Commercial Bank. It is piled up like a mountain, and there are some who died in the hands of the Southern Emperor Army, but it is absolutely nothing compared with the Cao's House, and it is for this reason that they are very concerned about the last remaining ones. The hundreds of thousands of troops of Cao's Commercial Bank have adopted the strategy of encircling and not attacking, and they also admire these people very much. In the past, they would always say that the people of Cao's Commercial Bank would not fight hand-to-hand, but now, Cao The army of the Cao family firm also ran out of their crossbow arrows. Although there was assistance from the rear, but because of the tragic war, these things were no longer available, and now there was no need to head-on with the people of the Cao family firm.

Indeed, the army of the Cao's House of Merchant can't do much now. In three days, the cavalry of the Western Empire rushed to the territory of the Southern Empire, and the Southern Empire lost more than a dozen provinces. Another line of defense has been established, but because of the turmoil in the capital area, there are still not many powerful reinforcements coming, so the solution is definitely not so good, and many people will definitely die here, that is, For this reason, the people of the Southern Empire are even prepared to continue to retreat. If Li Cong knows this, he will definitely be depressed to death. Why do the people of the empire take more than a dozen provinces from other people? Now that I have made great efforts, it is cheaper for you, but the things on the front line quickly spread to the rear of Cao's Commercial Bank. Dozens of people on the front line Thousands of soldiers are still dead, the military department of Cao's firm has already made its own decision, more than 2,000 large warships have come out of the port of the Southern Empire, and it has already issued an ultimatum to the Western Empire , as long as the attack is not stopped, then these warships will turn hundreds of counties and cities along the coast of the Western Empire into a sea of ​​​​flames. A county city of the Western Empire was washed with blood, and the high-level officials of the Western Empire immediately came out of the joy of winning. Damn, how could this be a victory? This is simply stabbing a hornet's nest. This Cao If it is so easy to take advantage of the family business, there will be many people in the world who take advantage of him. It is because of this county, General Mu Lun is still a general, and he made a move against Cao's army without the consent of the court. Attack, you must bear this mistake.

Seeing that the intervention of the Cao's House of Commerce had already failed, no one thought that the people of the Western Empire would be so powerful. They really occupied more than a dozen provinces of the Southern Empire, but the Western Empire had to put themselves at this time. The pace stopped. To be honest, millions of people in Cao’s house died, and nearly 40 million of us died. The Western Empire also felt a little uncomfortable with such a huge casualty. Besides, Cao’s The commercial bank has stopped all economic loans to the Western Empire, and is still chasing the arrears, which makes the central finance of the Western Empire unable to spend any money. All the money obtained before is used to develop the joke navy. Damn, so much money has been thrown in, and it turns out to be the same as before. I thought you guys would have some effect, but who knows, it's still the same. As long as the merchant ships of Cao's House come to scare you for a while , You don't even dare to go out, what kind of teacher is this ****? If I had known that you were still like this, I would not have invested so much money in you. The battlefield was quite popular, but the next thing would not be that simple, because the high-level officials of the Southern Empire have not yet finished fighting, so The Western Empire no longer needs to negotiate with the Southern Empire. These lands must belong to the Western Empire. The Southern Empire has also recognized it at this time. As long as the Western Empire does not continue to attack them, these dozen provinces will be given to you. That's it. I will use this thing to buy a peace talisman. This kind of thing has happened many times in history, and everyone didn't feel that there was anything wrong. After all, there were times in history when the Southern Empire took a bite out of the territory of the Western Empire. saved. In the future, all these territories can still come. The biggest problem is the problem with Cao's house.

In fact, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing for Cao's house. For them, it is also possible to calm them down quickly. The people of Cao's House of Commerce have all become proud and complacent since they defeated the Southern Empire. At the beginning, they all thought that as long as the army of Cao's House of Trade If all come over. It is no problem to kill the entire Southern Empire. Now let you all see, what was the final outcome of the desperate war with the Southern Empire? It must have been killed at the last moment. In such a huge empire as the Southern Empire, the Cao Family Firm was like a mosquito in front of him. He could go up and drink his blood before he woke up. But when he wakes up, it's not that simple. At the beginning, the army of the Southern Empire had to defend thousands of miles of front lines. Naturally, they were very divided. It would be easy to kill them, but if they were all concentrated At one point, if it was replaced by people from Cao's House of Commerce to defend the thousands of miles of front, how many troops would it take? When the objects of attack and defense are switched, that is, when the foundation of the Cao family firm is untied, it must not be as powerful as that of the Southern Empire. Now this war has made them all see clearly. Your weapon is Great, but you don't have many people. Even if you have one more group army here, you won't be able to win. As long as an empire is determined to fight you, you will not be able to win. This is why Li Cong initially The reason for the end of the war is over. A good excuse can be used once or twice, but it is not so good if it is used all the time. The people of Cao's Commercial Firm have now seen their abilities clearly. In the future, for them It's also very good, at least each of them will understand how the road should be taken in the future. If it is not done well, this small-scale failure may lead to a larger-scale fiasco in the future. This is absolutely possible of things.

Cao's firm's army had suffered such a big loss on the ground, so the Cao's navy would not let them suffer like that. The navy almost ransacked all the ships of the Western Empire, and directly let them The economic loss of the Western Empire reached tens of billions of silver. If the indirect economic loss is counted, there are hundreds of billions of silver. In the past, they didn't pay much attention to the navy, but when they started to pay attention, they already It's over. At this time, they all understand Li Cong's words. You have the final say on the mainland, but I have the final say on the ocean. Who is more powerful? Let's just keep watching. , I said at the beginning, don’t you just have warships, but your warships can’t come to land, can they? But now they are really wrong. These naval warships can be said to be running around. They fired one shot here and one shot there. Some of the ships of the merchant firm were made like that. Now they all understand that these ships are so powerful that it is unlucky for the Southern Empire to lose more than a dozen provinces, but for a while The Western Empire feels that he is the most unlucky one. The warships of Cao's House of Merchant appeared in dozens of provinces in the Western Empire. They did not fire their guns, but fear began to spread throughout the coastal areas. Well, the army of Cao's House is about to attack, they won't let us go, their army is about to land, and the Western Empire will fail in the end just like the Southern Empire. Such similar words can be said to be one after another, and such things have made them believe it is true, and the whole society has begun to panic.

Although the high-level officials of the Western Empire have sent a lot of people to talk about this issue, I hope that the people everywhere can be more honest and wise, and don’t be frightened by these rumors. Such things simply cannot exist. , for them, as long as they can look at these issues rationally, there will be no social chaos in the future. For them, it is definitely not that simple to do this. They all understand this matter very well. Officials always say one thing and do another. What the common people see now are the family members of the officials who are busy driving their own carriages towards the inland. What did the officials tell us in front of us? The people from Cao’s House are not a threat, they won’t come to the land, and they said that you have won a great victory, but why are your family members not here, why are they running away? If your family members were with us, what you said would be considered good. Unfortunately, no official could say such a thing. They would never let their family members stay. Back then, the Southern Empire I also encountered such a thing. As long as the army of Cao’s Commercial Bank landed, the first thing to be sealed up is the assets of the officials. If you are useful, these things will be given to you in the future. If you are not useful, no one will look at them. It’s yours, then these things, these things used to belong to you, I’m sorry, these things will be confiscated in the future, and the people of Cao’s House will use them in a place where they must be used. As for you? Live like ordinary people, without so many privileges.

Because these officials did not set an example, it is a pity that the common people will not believe it anymore, and the rumors are even more serious. (To be continued..)
