Chapter 2186 Tragic

How the Western Empire handles it is their own business, and the people of Cao's House of Commerce don't want to know how they are doing things now

Yes, but Li Cong's battle plan has already begun. The ultimate goal of this war is to force the Western Empire to sign a contract with them.

The alliance under the city, of course, this is very difficult, after all, the Western Empire is a very large empire, such a

It is impossible for the Chinese Empire to sign such a treaty with them, so it is necessary to hurt the people of the Western Empire.

As long as they are all in pain, this jump is relatively easy to get. The previous temptation also made Li Cong feel it.

The kind of massacre war before is no longer possible, and people have their own power to fight back, whether it is magic

Whether it is a cannon or a giant crossbow, people have more or less their own abilities, just like the magic cannon, which was already produced in the Southern Empire.

It appeared, but at that time because they had prepared relatively few things, it didn't have much effect, and that

There was no magic circle at that time, but it is different now. The Western Empire is obviously preparing for this thing.

Many, this is the situation now, so many people in the Western Empire do not feel that this matter is a

As for the matter, they all prepare a lot of things to support the magic circle. In this regard, the people of Cao's House will not be soft

, since you have something, our bombing will not stop, because if it stops, your bombing

One thing will pose a threat to our fleet. Isn't it just to hit the loss station, we can accompany you, we Cao

A commercial bank has always had a lot of money. Besides, the cost of such a bomb on the earth can be said to be small.

Poor, it's just that there is no such thing on this planet. If there was one on this planet, they wouldn't feel it

How expensive things are, in their view, the lack of supplies of Cao's House is their biggest advantage.

If Li never followed. Their supplies are really insufficient. After all, so many troops are here

range,

Meals are an astronomical figure every day, no matter how many space rings you have carried, the distance from here

After all, it was too far away from the base camp of Cao's House. Each exchange takes several months. What can a 3,000-ton airship do?

What about. What if there are hundreds of ships? How big is 300,000 tons of combat supplies for such a huge fleet?

What about the role? So those things in Li Cong's own body are the most important, and outsiders naturally don't know Li Cong's skills

, but Li Cong knew it himself. Even some people inside the Cao's Commercial Bank don't know very well, they just know

Several officers of the Dao Fleet and the Marine Corps each have a space ring that can hold tens of thousands of tons of supplies, as long as the boss calls

When they come back in the past, they can use their space ring to get out a lot of things, and there is even a

Some fresh vegetables and so on, these things were specially purchased by Li Cong before the war, and it took a lot of money for Li Cong

About tens of billions of silver, isn't this what the war is about? Li Cong brought tens of billions of crossbows alone.

Yes, this is enough for these people. If it is not enough, then we really need to consider the transportation capacity of Cao's House

If it is on the earth, I still can't feel how important this transportation capacity is, but this planet is really too big.

When I grow up, I really don’t know how difficult it is to make something here, and they are all

It is very clear that it is not possible for the people of Cao's House to kill them, which is their idea, so that

They suffered a lot in the end, and the people in Cao's House of Commerce all have their own abilities.

At 7:15 the next morning, the combat meeting of Cao's House was over. What we have to do today is not as simple as probing.

From yesterday's test, Li Cong also discovered a very important problem, that is, the fleet of Cao's House cannot be small-scale

The battle crossbows loaded on those ships are already capable of causing certain damage to the warships of Cao's House.

If this is the open sea, there is almost no need to be afraid of their magnified bow and arrow, but here is the inland river.

It's like this, because it's not so easy to open the distance, and there are a lot of them, although they can be defeated in large numbers

They, however, are different from fighting at sea. The people in the staff department also made a calculation.

In other words, it takes an average of 150 of their warships to sink before they lose one, but here, this number is delineated to

15 ships, such a loss can be borne by the Southern Empire, but the people of Cao's House can't afford it. If this continues

If you don't wait for the end of the war, these people who followed Li Cong may have to be killed. What Li Cong and the others have to do today

It is to obtain a piece of land on the ground. Yesterday's shelling has almost consolidated this area. Today we will

What they do is to put this matter into practice. The people in the Southern Empire have also seen the intention of Cao's firm today.

The goal of the battle is not to allow people from Cao's House to land, and even if they do land, they must all be beaten down. Absolutely not.

Let them take a land position, if so, their danger will become from two sides, but

If there is no land position on Cao's house, those 203mm heavy artillery will be useless, so

This land must be fought for. What was unimportant before is now the most important thing.

Shan Changfa is a squad leader of the 121st Independent Brigade of the Marine Corps of Cao's Commercial Bank. This guy has known since last night

He is going to be the first batch of people to land, for landing operations. The death rate of the first batch of people who went up was very high, but

For them, this weapon of this era is not of much use to them at all, the chain crossbow is now

It has already simplified a lot of things, and it is comparable to the semi-automatic rifles on the earth, as long as it is used by oneself

If it's good, the enemy can't do anything to him. He looked at the ten people in his class. These guys are all veterans.

In the army, in the past, everyone ate in the same pot in the army. All of them are very familiar. on the battlefield

At any time, they can safely hand over their backs to their comrades-in-arms. They all know very well that as long as they are behind them

If you are still standing, you don't need to look back. Because they all know it. Protect yourself, everything in front of you is to protect yourself

everything behind. This is all learned in the military academy. If you panic on the battlefield, look at your comrades. them

How to do it, you just follow along and learn by yourself. When you first came out, everyone felt that they didn’t know how to do it, but

Now, each of them can be said to be veterans, and such things are easy for them

Love, although the above has said time and time again that this attack is no small matter, but these guys still have nothing to fear

Yes, this kind of hail of bullets is what they need, and each of them also expects war, because this is a man

The place where Zihan expresses himself is the place where he can make contributions, just look at their eyes.

These guys in the squad have served for more than a year, and according to the regulations, they can all be squad leaders in the new army

You must know that there is a 50% difference in treatment between being a squad leader and not being a squad leader, but none of them chose to adjust

Go, but continued to stay, Shan Changhai knew that they stayed because they didn't want to leave the battlefield, even though it was Cao's firm

There are many new troops in China, but those are basically unable to go to the battlefield. Just like the Marine Corps, from their

It can be seen from the serial number that the 1st to 20th divisions are basically old troops, and the troops here can be regarded as one

Hundreds of them are used, no matter where they are, they can complete the task. From the 21st to the 50th division, these armies are the second

The first-class army has the same weapons and equipment, but out of ten people in a squad, only 2 to 3 are veterans.

soldiers, the others are recruits, but the recruits have experienced a little bit of fighting, and their combat effectiveness can only be

It's not bad. In their war with the Southern Empire, their battle loss ratio was 1:50, which is not bad, no

However, compared with the people in the first sequence, there is a big gap. From the 51st to the 80th division, these people are in the first class again. A class of ten

Among the individuals, only the squad leader is a veteran, and the others are basically novices. Their battle loss ratio can only be one to two

Ten or so is not bad, and there are even some who can't reach this ratio, which can't be blamed on them.

It's not bad, but it's rare for them to encounter such things after all. If they can be like veterans, then

There is no need for experience, the fourth class is after the 80th division, they can basically be counted as reserve

Troops, their role is to maintain local law and order and clean up the remnants after the war.

It takes two classes of people to get one veteran, but this also allows them to grow up quickly.

Shan Changhai glanced at Lao Guo who just came back. This guy is the deputy monitor of the class, and this guy is also the one who followed him the longest.

It's time, his best thing is his shooting ability, it's not bad for others to kill two or three people with ten chain crossbows,

But Lao Guo can definitely achieve nine out of ten, as for the one hundred and one hundred, it is all nonsense in the novel, the real battlefield

It is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen in the world. In the later stages of some battles, if their chain crossbows cannot keep up with

If it is up, everyone will hand over their remaining serial crossbows to Lao Guo, and they just leave some spares in their hands.

It's ok, because that's the way to cause the enemy the greatest losses, especially when facing a siege, because at that time

Because they all have to shoot upwards. The accuracy rate is even lower. At this time, Lao Guo's ability is not ordinary, and he can still keep

With a hit rate of 50%, such a guy makes them all feel very powerful. Such a person has

At that time, he was definitely the strongest in their entire class. At this moment, this guy just went to the cooking class to pick up the meal.

A lunch box is hanging on this guy, why would a veteran do something like this instead of a recruit

where to go? In fact, this is a very learned thing, everyone knows Lao Guo's skills. The relationship between Lao Guo and the cooking squad leader

Department is no joke. Every time he goes, he can bring back some good things, which is why the big

The reason why everyone let Lao Guo go is that if others go, they can bring back food. But some things that are in short supply are gone. Look at the happy look on Lao Guo's face. There should be something good coming back, so everyone hastened to surround them

Let's see what makes Lao Guo happy like this. The battle is imminent, have you posted something good?

"Okay, seeing how anxious each of you are, you all have a share, and it's not like you don't have something to eat, although we all

On the boat, but this food has never been without you. What we have now is not a joke. Just now

The cooking squad leader and the others set up a fishing net behind the boat. The fish here are really good, and they got more than a dozen in one go.

We don’t care about the other companies, but our company has one for each class. It weighs seven or eight catties, enough for us to eat.

I’m full, boys, come over and take a good look, I went and got the biggest one right away, of course

Yes, compared to other squads, this one is the biggest. The knight with the largest one was sent to the head and the others. The head and the others yesterday

I didn't sleep all night, so I studied how to log in. I'm very tired. Drinking some fish soup can also help you

They're all doing their brains well, and if we're not mistaken, it's time to start today, so we have to eat fast. "Old Guo said with a smile, in fact, his relationship with the cooking squad leader is not very good, but in order to make these few under his

Every guy can have a good meal. I don’t know how many times I have used that little friendship. After so many times, I

I have also become close friends with the cooking squad leader. If there is anything in the future, that guy will definitely not reject me

Yes, I have done this kind of thing many times, and now I am familiar with it, and the news from the cooking class is also

There are quite a lot of them, and I can bring back some gossip from there. When everyone heard that there was going to be a war, the eyes immediately turned

From the fish soup in front of me to the landing battle, everyone asked this and that,

They have been training for landing operations for a long time, but today they really started to practice.

"Hurry up and eat. Just now, everyone said that they were so hungry. Why are they alone now?"

None of you have that feeling anymore, and each of you don’t know what to say about you, so just hurry up and get ready

, now we don't have that much time, it seems that there is still about an hour, I saw that several ships have already left

It’s already started, and I already said yesterday that our division must be the first wave to go up, and there are plenty of opportunities for you to perform.

Put away your home letter, if something happens, everyone "Although they often win, but

There are so many dead brothers, so the people of Cao's House of Firms asked these people to prepare their last letters

, no matter when, as long as you are gone, the firm will definitely fulfill your last request for you, although this

This will increase a lot of costs, but life is priceless, as long as a person who dedicates his life to the company, he will be in public and private

, they should all handle this matter well, if they can't handle it well, it's their own problem, this point

Everyone also understands very well that sometimes these people feel very uncomfortable when talking about this issue, but

They also understand that this is a truth, and no one can avoid it. The squad leader said this for their consideration.

It's kind of unlucky or something. Each of them lost a lot of enthusiasm, and each of them scooped up some fish soup

I went to drink it at my own place, yes, this is war, who knows if I can drink this thing tomorrow

Well, now I should quickly prepare the things I need to prepare, so as to save myself from not being able to find myself when I leave.

It would be really troublesome if you don't own your own home. This kind of thing has also been found in other armies.

Everyone was relatively happy just now, but now everyone feels a little uncomfortable after hearing such a thing

Clothes. That's for sure they feel that way. No matter who it is, people will feel uncomfortable when facing death.

, one by one silently drinking their own fish ponds, Shan Changhai also thought of his own family affairs, he is the family

boss. His father left early. There are six younger siblings below. The mother has no ability to support them at all.

At the beginning, when I saw the treatment of recruits in Cao's firm, I came here, not to mention anything else. Let's say 100 catties of grain for a month

Food is enough. Although the 15 catties of grain per person per month is a little less, if you replace it with coarse grains, you can still eat it.

Full, I remember when my recruits came home in the second month, the family members were so happy, and they were training in the recruit camp.

No matter how hard the practice is, it's worth it. What's even better is that all the younger brothers and sisters in the family can go to school to read and write.

It's time to be a recruit, and now I have become the squad leader, and the family can have 200 catties of grain every month.

You can open your belly to eat vigorously, and your eldest brother is already one of the people who came to your place through your own introduction.

He has become a clerk in the grain store of Cao's Commercial Bank. He can have 2 taels of silver and 50 catties of grain a month.

He is a good boy, and if he has money, he will give it to his mother. The last time his mother asked someone to tell him about a marriage, it was his own money.

My aunt's cousin who is three months older than me, and my younger brothers have already gathered around the cousin, sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

I will marry myself when I go back after I finish the work, thinking that if I get married, the above will give you 50 taels of congratulations

Money, each of these things feels very good, and my heart is really sweet.

Cao's House of Commerce has done a good job in terms of welfare for the soldiers, except that the first year of the recruits was a little bit bitter, but

It can also feed a family of four. After becoming a veteran, the treatment will gradually increase, just like the head of the mountain.

Like the sea, he has four taels of silver a month. During the war, it was double, and now he is getting double.

200 catties of food can be sent to their homes on a regular basis every month. If you ask, your own salary

It can also be sent to your home. It will be even better after you become the squad leader. People in the family can take care of you until Cao

Many people know about this kind of thing, but now they are not willing to do such a thing.

Yes, many people have their own ideas in their hearts, and they all want to be monitors, but these people also have their own ideas in their hearts.

I understand that to be a squad leader, you have to join the ranks of recruits. They also have their own ideas. If you are surrounded by veterans, you will naturally

The chances of him surviving on the battlefield are also relatively high, as long as he is not forced to go by himself, he will stay here

Be an ordinary soldier, because it is too normal for them to do such a thing, just think about yourself in the mountains and seas

When it was time to work, the other soldiers had already finished eating. When he saw the company commander coming, he must have a task to explain.

Quickly finished his meal in two or three bites, and threw it to Lao Guo who was at the side to let him clean up for him, and he went to the company commander

I went over there, the company commander must come to me to want my squad to be the vanguard, the whole company has three rows, eleven squads, one hundred and ten people

The combat power of Ziren's own class is also at the front, so it is a long-standing tradition to let his own people fight the main attack.

And there is also a superstition that as long as one's own people are the first to rush up, they have never failed.

Following the company commander were the transport soldiers in the company. Three people came over carrying three big boxes of grenades. It seemed that they really belonged to them.

People play the main attack, and such things have arrived. It must be like this, Shan Changhai hurriedly saluted the company commander, the company commander smiled

Nodding slowly, let those boys put down the grenade, and then began to look at the people around them one by one, the company commander finally

Afterwards, it was done at the central location. Because it was on a ship, the conditions here were really not very good.

But the company commander is not the kind of fastidious person. In the past, the company commander was the squad leader just like Shan Changhai, just because the company commander

In the past, there was culture. And the brain is more active. So I went to the military academy to study for two years, and after I came out, I became a

I have become a company commander, but this Shan Changhai is convinced and let himself be the company commander. I guess I don't have that ability anymore. even

Chang pointed to the grenade box and said, "This time the matter is yours again. I have studied with the instructor for a while, and this matter

Love still has to be done by you, although there are quite a few people in our company. But you are the first to charge, this

It's three grenades, just get all of you armed later, it will fire after an hour of attack, as it says above,

As long as you can establish a stable position, each person will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and the land has basically been cleaned up, dangerous

It is the army that the enemy rushed over after seeing us landing here, those guys will definitely not let us

They stayed there so comfortably, so your task is to absolutely not let them rush over. This time the landing team

There are three divisions of troops, and it is estimated that the enemy will come up with millions of people. You can make ammunition and so on. It depends on you.

Can you keep it. "The company commander pointed to a section of about 20 meters on the map and said, that is their position.

"Company commander, you can rest assured about this. You don't know what our class does. When did we embarrass our company?"

Now, how big is the place I thought, this is only 20 meters away. As for the preparations, we estimate

A hundred meters is fine. "Xiao Jiang, who is considered a recruit among them, said, this guy is only in his twenties,

It has been two years since I entered here. This guy's most powerful ability is to shoot with a chain crossbow.

A chain crossbow with one hundred bolts can kill ten people is considered excellent, but this guy can kill more than twenty people

, this kind of thing made many people in the company look up to this kid. During the Southern Empire War, this guy did it alone

The thing that can stand up to several people, especially when the crowd is dense, the company commander patted the kid on the shoulder and said, "You

Kid, you don't even have a hair, this chain crossbow is just a good shot, it will be up to you later, let me see how many you can kill

If there are few people, this bonus may give you an extra share later. Our boss can also see it.

It's time to show your face, this is no joke. "The company commander said with a smile, such things don't happen often.

Yes, it will be seen by many people. If it is not according to the war regulations, he will go up himself. The company commander said two more times.

Then he left, and now there are only his own people left in his class, and they all started to prepare their own affairs one by one

According to what the squad leader said, it will be a relatively serious war later. If millions of people rush up, they will

There are only three divisions, less than 200,000 troops, and this area is too small, it will definitely be densely populated later,

There are more ants than ants. It's really hard to say what will happen when the time comes. It's better to pay attention to it.

Prince Ding, who had just been scolded out of the palace in the Southern Empire, understood at this time. He had already seen the intention of Cao's firm, but now he had no choice. The straight-line distance is less than 5000 meters. If I really let those guys land from that place, I really don’t have much preparation. There is really no way to kill them. Although they have sent a lot of troops there, they all came out in a panic at the end. Those warships of the Cao's House seem to be what the Minister of War said. The artillery seems to never be short of shells. They have never stopped since they started to clean up that area. Even at night, many gunboats went to fire. This made them all feel that things are not that simple. If these people don't fire their cannons, it is estimated that the place has already been occupied by the army of the Western Empire, but what if it is occupied, hundreds of artillery fire vigorously for a while If there is no one there, it is estimated that there will be no one there again. Who will let themselves stand in the artillery fire? Unless it is a superman, no one will do that. Prince Ding has already ordered the army to charge twice, but the final results are not very good. All of them suffer a lot. This kind of thing made them all feel very difficult. Even if people go up now, it is estimated that no one will pass by. Everyone is fleshy, and it is impossible to fight against the artillery of Cao's House. This time is the time to decide what the prince should do. The artillery from Cao's House began to cover it. All these people were dumbfounded. It was the first time they had seen the sight of thousands of cannons.

Li Cong's idea was also very simple, and the artillery began to extend directly. Many people in Cao's House have never seen such a thing. They have seen hundreds of cannons in the past, mainly because they were all from the army in the past, and such things did not happen when they were at the beach. , Now their approach is still very good, their people have already started to prepare everywhere, dozens of ships are also ready, and the artillery will start when it stops later, The artillery fired more than 50,000 rounds of shells, which basically wiped out the people in this area. The people left there are either dead or mentally problematic. It is impossible for these people to stand there and be killed For the bombing, the Cao’s Commercial Bank does not have a special landing craft now, so the speed must be slower. Fortunately, the water on the shore is not very deep, and they can directly use small boats to go there. Just take a squad of soldiers. Cao’s House directly prepared about 200 small boats and started to land. Li Cong also made calculations. Ten minutes, these ten minutes should allow the people of Cao's Commercial Bank to establish a line of defense, it is a question of whether they can hold it. They rushed forward quickly, because the boats behind all needed to go back to pick up people, so they had to hold on for at least 10 minutes. If they couldn't hold on for these 10 minutes, the people behind probably wouldn't be able to come up. Yes, 10 minutes is very important to them, especially at this time, Shan Changhai is the first batch of people to go up, they should know how to do it, they have trained before.

The cavalry of the Southern Empire were not fools either. When they saw the people from the Cao’s House coming up, they rushed over immediately. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry immediately began to charge, but they were immediately attacked by the artillery from the Cao’s House. People have fallen off their horses. At least 70% of the people can't rush over, and the remaining 30% can basically pass. What Shan Changhai and the others have to face is Among the 30% of the people, Lao Guo was the first to rush over, half kneeling on the ground. This guy likes this kind of action the most. He added a scope to his chain crossbow, because this thing is expensive. It is relatively expensive, and it is only equipped by sharpshooters like them. It is impossible for other people to have this thing on their chain crossbows. When he saw enemy cavalry appearing in the distance, he immediately sent out a chain crossbow. This serial crossbow was also the first shot by the Marine Corps of Cao's House. He was not aiming at an ordinary soldier, but an officer in the distance. This guy was directing his men to charge quickly. People in the Western Empire also knew that if they dispatched heavy cavalry, they would probably be killed by the artillery of Cao's House. They dispatched all light cavalry, so their defense was very weak. Guo's chain crossbow passed through this guy directly, at a distance of 1800 meters, and killed this guy directly, and a person behind this guy was also killed. Such a thing directly brought After getting off to a good start, Lao Guo quickly killed the other one. At this time, Xiaojiang’s super chain crossbow started to speak, and the cavalry in the distance had already fallen in pieces. When facing the chain crossbow, they were In this way, without any ability to fight back, each of these people is like bread.

Although the soldiers killed very powerfully, but because the speed of the cavalry was very fast, these people soon reached a distance of 500 meters in front of them, and there were thousands of people. In addition to launching the chain crossbow, he is already ready to use the next tactic, which is the grenade. The front is already full of grenades, and half of the people will use this to greet them later. They must enter the 200 Within the range of 200 meters, the chain crossbow in the hands of ordinary infantry is not as powerful as the grenade, especially when dealing with these cavalry, the explosion of the grenade can still frighten the horses of the cavalry, In the end, these people would run very far one by one. Just after the first cavalry rushed to the range of 200 meters, a grenade from Lao Guo passed by. After throwing one, Lao Guo didn't look at him at all. The grenade killed a few people, because he knew that there would definitely be a few people who would die under the grenade. He didn't look at them to buy time. If he went to see it by himself, he probably would have wasted the time it took to drop a grenade Yes, now every second is very important. Now Lao Guo’s frequency can reach 20 seconds for a grenade. It can be said that the first one goes out before it hits the ground. The second one goes out, and the third pulls the wire The first one exploded, and there will definitely be three to four thrown out in a minute. Although the frequency of the others is not as high as that of Lao Guo, they are also very good, except that Xiaojiang's super chain crossbow did not stop. , everyone else started throwing grenades vigorously. Xiao Jiang’s role is to wipe out very few people who have been arrested. They are indeed veterans. Such cooperation is impossible in the eyes of others, but for them Say it's a very normal thing and it's fine for them.

The first cavalry of the Western Empire has already entered the range of 100 meters. At this time, this guy wants to use his ability to ride and shoot on horseback to give the people of Cao's House a little bit of power. Unfortunately, he is the first to charge The people who came in killed him with more than a dozen serial crossbows. Shan Changhai at the side also saw this situation. More than a dozen people have taken a fancy to this person. This is a serious waste. Someone will definitely pay for it. It really is like this. Immediately, more than a dozen bows and arrows shot at the position of Cao's Commercial Bank , because it is impossible for them to have any defensive tools such as trenches after they come up, so now five or six of them have been hit. However, the millions of troops of the Western Empire have already collapsed in the shelling, and the people of Cao's House should pay a little price. Li Cong, who was standing on the bow, was also nervous for a while, and the second batch came up. It will take about three minutes for the people on the small boat to go up, that is, in these three minutes, it is time for my own people to fight with the people of the Western Empire. The first batch of 2,500 people who go up here are estimated to be able to come back alive There are very few people, and this is also the tragic landing battle, but each of you will have a large number of people from the Western Empire to pay for you. The quality of Shan Changhai is better than other people, even though they are enemies. He had already come over, but he still held his breath and did not do other things. He honestly asked other people to face him. He still threw the grenade vigorously, because he knew that if he picked up the chain crossbow, he would probably rush over There will be more people in their class, and the people in their class continue to throw grenades, and no one picks up the chain crossbow beside them.

The role of Xiao Jiang is to eliminate these people. The enemy in the distance is no longer what Xiao Jiang has to do. The task of Lao Guo and him is to prevent the cavalry who rushed over from entering their side. The two of them calmly shot one after another. But there are too many people coming, and the artillerymen on the escort boats have also played their best skills, but there are too many enemies, and it is too difficult to stop them all.
