Chapter 2195: Embarrassment

In fact, people in the Western Empire are also very aware of their disadvantages. If they are compared with other empires in ten minutes

It shouldn't be a problem if someone fights against them, but it's not very good for them, mainly because their opponents are

The people of Cao's House of Commerce, the people of Cao's House of Commerce can do a lot of things in these ten minutes, just like now,

The people from Cao's House of Commerce have already locked the position of the giant crossbows of the Western Empire, so it is impossible for them to deliver the goods.

The second shot, the royal family of the Western Empire can be said to have donated a lot of things to this attack, if they know

Knowing that their efforts can only be done in the first round, I really don't know what they will think about this matter, but

Maybe they will also feel helpless about this matter, and it is also very uncomfortable for them.

The things that come out of the gap between the teeth can only be attacked once, as for other things, they are not allowed at all.

, What did this make them think, especially the emperor of the Western Empire, he thought that the giant crossbow would definitely boost the confidence of their people,

At the beginning, the giant crossbow really played a big role. This guy was talking about the royal family to several high-ranking officials next to him.

Contribution, after all, if there is not so much wood stored by the royal family, it is impossible to have these giant crossbows.

In fact, there is another thing that I didn't expect this thing to be used so well. Prince Ding knew it from the beginning, so I have to

The people below don't need to prepare any crossbows. Vertex Novel Because it is enough to prepare two crossbow bolts, if the artillery of Cao's House can

Their second attack is already giving them face, and it is very likely that there will be no second attack at all.

, but the emperor of the Western Empire didn't believe this. He felt that the more things the better.

Soon, something that surprised the emperor of the Western Empire came out. It was only five minutes ago that he knew that the army of Cao's House had already

It is said that about 3,000 people have been lost due to the attack of the giant crossbow. One attack can make the people of Cao's House of Commerce lose that much.

Awesome, this kind of thing never happened before, no matter if they were from the Western Empire. or other gods

country people.

This is not possible at all, so when they heard this number, they were all excited

It's amazing that such a good thing has happened now. It's time to celebrate. But before they start high

Xing time. Other things have already happened, the artillery of Cao's House has already begun to bombard, their most important thing is

The target is where those giant crossbows exist. The emperor of the Western Empire is not a fool, he can see clearly on the city wall

, although their own soldiers have already worked very hard, but it is a pity that it is impossible, they cannot

Let the giant crossbow launch again in a short period of time. During this period of time, each of them has understood that Cao's House

The firing speed of the artillery is very fast, they don't have the ability to resist at all, which makes the Western Empire prepare

Almost all of these giant crossbows that had been prepared encountered crazy bombardment.

The grenades were thrown together in front of the Western Empire camp, and none of their pillars more than ten meters high

How long did it last, almost all of them fell down, and there seemed to be some defensive measures of energy, which were fundamentally weak in front of modern weapons.

It was useless at first, the soldiers of the Western Empire came to the front in a panic, their hearts were already nervous

They were about to die, but they still had to go up, because the above said that if they couldn't stand it this time, they would kill their whole family.

Li Cong is very disgusted with such things. In the past, if you won a battle, you might not reward others.

family, but now if something happens, the whole family will be murdered.

What does it have to do with his own problems and his family members? The people of the Western Empire took such measures, it is simply brainless

There is a problem with the situation, except for making these soldiers resent them even more, it is impossible to play any role.

At that time, they really wouldn't do that, because this thing is indeed a second book, and it's not of much use, just

If it is useful, it can only be said to be temporary, and the effect will not be so great in the future, but just cast

Hundreds of thousands of people have been surrendered, and the people of the Western Empire have no other choice. Although these people can't be soldiers of Cao's firm

Use, but with them to carry those shells, the people of Cao's House can free up more soldiers to do other things

This is how it is now, the emperor of the Western Empire turns pale when he thinks of this, but fortunately, it is now

It is different from the time just now. I have already said that as long as there is still such a thing, I will surrender casually.

They will kill their whole family, this is something that does not need to be discussed, and because of this, people in the Western Empire are willing to

I must not dare to surrender just like that. I can do my own things casually, but if it involves my family members

I will not do it casually. I have been a soldier outside these years and have not made any contribution to my family. Now

Now because of this kind of thing, the family members are facing life-threatening, which makes me feel too uncomfortable, so most of the

Everyone is determined, and the worst is to die in battle. They must not bring their own family members in.

On the city wall, you can clearly see the things below, just like now, the giant crossbows below are basically useless

It will be fired for the second time. In ten minutes, only two of the hundreds of crossbows were fired, because the number of people fired was not very high.

Enough, so basically no harm was done to the people of Cao's House. One of them flew too close and fell to the

Their own place made their own people depressed for a long time, this **** was created to deal with the army of Cao's firm

Yes, how did it get to our own heads? We were all beaten by the artillery of Cao's house and couldn't find a single one.

It’s a safe place, we can take a rest after all, it’s safe to have a place, who knows what’s called us

Their own things are marked, although they are not satisfied. But there was no chance to express it. and no one listened,

Because those who fired the giant crossbow had already been sent to the west by the artillery of Cao's house, if they knew

I wouldn't do that either, after all, this thing definitely wouldn't be intentional. They also understand this matter very well. one by one

It's a very good job. Now what they need to care about is no longer something like a giant crossbow, because for them

For him, something like a giant crossbow is irrelevant. Such things are gone, what they have to worry about is the

The soldiers of the Cao’s House of Commerce, these people can’t see their people coming up, they just see the continuous firing of guns, and then that

The damn bomb crew threw the grenade vigorously, and some of the defenses they built were almost turned into ashes. Fortunately, a

Everyone has already run out of that range, otherwise let alone a human, even if it is a mouse, they will all be given

If they were killed, there would be no chance of surviving. The artillery fire of Cao's House was too powerful.

It can be said that many people believe in fate, but the emperor of the Western Empire feels that fate is following him at this time.

Just kidding, otherwise, how could it have just started to be happy for a while and then immediately became like this

Well, he knew that the artillery of Cao's House would be very powerful, but he never thought that the artillery of Cao's House would be so powerful

To a certain extent, when thousands of cannons were fired, he could feel the city wall under his feet shaking.

At that time, he felt that the city wall was very strong, even if the people from Cao's house came, they would not be able to break in, but

But now he feels that this matter seems to be a bit uncertain. If the people of Cao's House gather more cannons to attack the city wall

If the bombardment is carried out, the final result may be that they will come in. If they really come in, their own cavalry or something

But there is not much use for it. The people in Cao's House are best at street fighting, and their weapons are very useful to them.

Street fighting is very beneficial. Back then, he knew a little about the rebellion of the Eastern Empire. The Linghu family

It took only a little bit of soldiers to fight into the palace. When the incident happened in the Southern Empire, it was also the scene in front of us.

It looks like, if all of their troops arrive in the city, their imperial city may not be able to resist anything

Yes, they will definitely come in easily. At this time, even the emperor of the Western Empire feels that their chances of winning are not good.

It's huge. Although there are still so many troops, they are still retreating. Besides, this is because of the morale of these troops.

What about when they are promoted, what should they do if their morale is declining? It's possible at the end

Some guys will pull themselves out to receive rewards. These things are likely to happen, not just guesswork.

Now the fences of the Western Empire camp have been wiped out, but Li Cong still did not order his ground troops

For the offensive, let the airship continue to issue coordinates to the cannons behind. It is necessary to beat the enemy to the ground.

It's only okay from the beginning, the previous battle losses were too great. For Li Cong, things like shells are okay.

It was easy to get it, but human life is not so easy. If it is not done well, the last time

But I will regret it for a long time. This is how it is now. Li Cong has already given a direct order to the artillery, let

They are all shelling the front area vigorously, don't be afraid of wasting shells, as long as they explode in the past, that's fine.

If you can kill people, you are lucky, but if you can't, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

, Such things make many people feel uncomfortable. But they also understand that this is for their own good

Yes, don't do the kind of things that used to be desperate with knives and guns, no matter how glorious you are when you die,

But the fact that you are dead is true for anyone, no one

It can be avoided, if you die, you will have nothing, and the artillerymen below also understand Li Cong's order. when they used to

Sometimes because the transportation of shells is not in place, sometimes you can take a break. But now the man who is mixed into the Second Army is really doing things.

It's not bad. They have never broken their own shells. If it weren't for them, today's shelling would definitely not be like that.

Such a good result, if it is rewarded at the end of the day. We can't take other people's credit

of. You must know that people have put in a lot of effort. Absolutely will not rob other people's credit.

It is certain that the front line of the war has been broken through, that is, the most flattering courtier next to the emperor of the Western Empire is now

He also didn't say a word, which is simply a matter of needless to say. Look at His Majesty's face now, they all shut up

Shut up, if you stand up and talk nonsense at this time, you probably won't be able to keep your head, Your Majesty the Emperor

What happened to killing someone in a fit of rage? At that time, there was no difference between an ordinary citizen and a minister or something

, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't need to do anything, he just needs one person to bear his anger, it seems that Prince Ding

The next time I really want to die to thank the world, Prince Ding's old face is also pale, and the people in Cao's house haven't started attacking yet

At that time, just relying on things like artillery can already make their army retreat several kilometers.

What should they do when the Chinese ground army starts to attack? Go up and fight with others? Everyone probably thinks this way

, but how do you go up, if it is the battle of the cold weapon era in the past, there will not be many people

Scared, after all, they fought like this at that time, but now they don't do that kind of thing

Yes, they all understand what is going on in front of them very well. The artillery in front of them will not let them pass at all.

Have all the people on the edge been killed? This kind of thing has already made them understand that they were defeated, and a large number of soldiers

The soldiers were all lying on their stomachs with pale faces, do they want to continue to be here? That's impossible, they won't pass

Yes, because for them, everything in front of them makes them feel scared, and they dare not even move

Li Cong himself did not expect that the situation of the battle would change so quickly, and the artillery would be so powerful.

Half an hour later, the artillery of Cao's House began to replace the barrels. At this time, the troops of several divisions were all lined up.

Qi's queue started to walk towards the Western Empire camp. There was nothing at the original gate of the camp.

There is only a piece of scorched earth and corpses, and there is no living person. It is estimated that even the ants in the ground have been eliminated.

It's over, the artillery just now is too powerful, so many people don't know what to say, they haven't

Having seen such an attack, Prince Ding estimated that the shelling just now cost him at least more than 200,000 people.

This number of losses is nothing, because many people still ran back, and now what he needs to worry about is his own

These troops under his own hands, each of these people is already trembling, and few of these people are not afraid

, in their view, the attack of Cao's House has already made them feel scared. If it continues, they will

Just surrender, it's not that you don't worry about your family members, it's really something like surrender that they think of themselves.

They were still thinking about what they should do. Prince Ding's command flag began to wave, and those soldiers naturally didn't like it.

I understand what it means, but the generals all understand it. That is the last plan, which is to let them ignore other things.

His, just rush up, tens of millions of people all rush up, even if you step on it with your own feet, you have to smash Cao's house

People stepped back, and many generals below were dumbfounded. They knew this might be their last resort, but he

We also know how many casualties this method will cause. If the army is smaller, their people may not be killed.

There were so many of them, because there were air raids, but so many people went up together, there was not even a gap, not at all.

"The people of the Western Empire are already ready to attack, and the artillerymen are ready for the next bombardment, so that the past phalanx will be completely destroyed.

Make a defensive formation. We cannot use our weaknesses to compete with the strengths of the enemy. Let everyone in the logistics deliver them

Go for a lot of crossbow bolts. " Li Cong stood up and said, although he didn't know the order to set the prince's order, but he saw the order over there.

The black mass has already begun to move, and this is the time. Even fools can know what they are going to do. whole army

Press it? This is indeed a way for them to win in the end. These people also know exactly what this means.

, which means that as long as you shoot your crossbow, someone outside will definitely be hit by the arrow. you might kill a lot

There are many soldiers of the Western Empire, but there is one more thing you have to understand, that is, they are not allowed to approach, as long as they are

If you let them approach, you will have no good way. This is the same as the landing battle at the beginning, but

It’s just a little bit bigger. At the beginning, the landing battle could only pass 2,500 people at a time, but at that time, the West Emperor

There are not many people attacking from the Western Empire. Although there are more people in the past, there are not many people from the Western Empire participating in the attack.

I know how many times more, if you all don't keep up well, they may win the final result,

It depends on who is stronger on both sides. Of course Li Cong hopes that his own people can win, but look at Xidi

This may not be possible due to the number of soldiers in the country, so Li Cong ordered again to arrange echelon defenses in the back and lay

A large number of landmines to defend against them, but you must let your own people see where the mines are, otherwise,

When my own people retreat, they will definitely be injured, which is what I don't want.

Everything in front of him not only surprised Li Cong, but also the people of the Western Empire themselves, good family

Dude, now it seems that the dead are nothing, every minute does not know how many people fall, densely packed

The people on the front line frightened the people on the front line to death. They had never seen so many soldiers fighting on the battlefield thousands of meters away.

On the line, these soldiers rushed forward frantically. There were bows and arrows fired by their men in the sky, and Cao

The airship of Cao's House was launched on it, and they didn't care about these things at all. The phalanx of the four regiments of Cao's House was very

They were soon surrounded by them, and Li Cong could see clearly from a distance that the four phalanxes were constantly shrinking

In the end, they were directly eaten by these people inside. It seems that these people are still very powerful in combat.

A group of more than 20,000 people barely survived, and the people of the Western Empire would have to pay more than ten times the price for killing them

, but 200,000 people are nothing to the Western Empire. At this time, the people of the Western Empire found another

The target is the two divisions in front of Cao's House, and strictly speaking they are not two complete reorganization divisions.

Yes, one of the divisions is missing four regiments, which can be said to be one and a half. Li Cong wants them to hurry up at this time

retreat, but this time is over, these guys are stepping forward on the corpses of their partners, they seem to be

There is nothing wrong with it, some people fell and were only injured, but the people behind them did not pull

They meant that these people stepped on it directly, so there was no need for such a large casualty, but in the end

He also died at the time, which is why there were so many casualties in the Western Empire afterwards.

Li Cong never thought that such a situation would happen when he sent his wife today. In his mind, this was to give

The people of the Western Empire are a bit powerful, and they wanted to hit them under the city wall. Who knew that such a thing would happen, Li Cong

Seeing that the dozens of flags in front have been pulled down continuously, pulling down one means that a battalion has been killed

. According to the establishment of Cao's Commercial Bank, a battalion has about 1,000 people, and some have nearly 2,000 people, but such a

The battalion couldn't hold out for ten minutes. What were these people doing? Is this a war? Western Empire

When did people become so heroic? Li Cong can also see that those who rushed to the forefront of the Western Empire at the beginning

There are no more than one out of ten people now, and these people can be regarded as loyal to the country. In fact, this is the one that Li Cong fears the most.

It's over, as long as the enemy is not afraid of the weapons in their hands, as long as the enemy rushes forward regardless of casualties. So

Their people are unstoppable. Li Cong has also calculated that a person can shoot ten crossbow arrows in an instant, but ten

A single crossbow arrow may not necessarily kill ten people, even if it is very powerful, half of the soldiers will be good. as for those

recruits. It is estimated that all of them will be released. As for whether they can hit such a thing, they don't care.

Those super serial crossbows were also firing vigorously, but the speed was still not very good. each of these people

Everyone feels powerless, because there are too many troops in the Western Empire, tens of millions of people are crowded in such a situation

, they are not fools, these people know that their lives may be lost, but in the end, do they want to die?

Do something more heroic. The more heroic thing they think about now is to let themselves rush forward.

"Let the second batch of troops rush up immediately. The current situation is too favorable for us. If we don't continue to this end,

Maybe we will never be able to fight back the army of Cao's House of Commerce. According to the current speed, the troops of Cao's House of Commerce

The army won't last long, and soon their artillery can be reached, as long as we can get those things

If they are snatched back, we can have a lot of good things in the future, and they will definitely not be our opponents at that time

, Even if it is the other three empires, our Western Empire will definitely become the most powerful empire. "Western Empire

The emperor said on the city wall that he didn't expect such a situation to happen today. It's not that he didn't see such a serious situation in his eyes.

Injured casualties, but didn't I already say it before, even if the 200 million troops died here, it doesn't matter

What's the matter, as long as the Cao's firm can be defeated, what will happen in the future will not be a big deal.

You can definitely kill them all at this time. Many people will understand such things, but if you can't see these things clearly

, if you start to calculate the so-called losses now, such a person can't do big things, which is very important for the Western Empire

It is also a disaster. Although the generals are very happy to see the situation ahead, they are a little bit unhappy.

How do you agree with His Majesty's statement, but seeing the happy look of the emperor now, it is impossible to tell, if

I don't know what will happen if I say it, because they all saw madness from that look, this is not a

At least six million people have lost their lives. If it continues, there may be more

More people will die there, there is no need to doubt this, it can be seen by looking.

The achievements Li Wei achieved a few days ago have now been given back by the army of the Western Empire. They paid the price of 10 million people

After taking all this back, the war has begun to stop, because the people of the Western Empire have no way to continue to rush forward.

I went, the corpse was already spread on the ground, and the beachhead of Cao's House was at the front, this place

However, Cao's House is the most powerful defensive position. The hundreds of thousands of landmines have not stopped the attack of the Western Empire. They have

More than two million people died from landmines, but the people of the Western Empire didn't care about this number at all, after the statistics

It was only when the emperor of the Western Empire knew that ten million of them died in battle this afternoon. In addition to these dead, there were also

Three million people lost their fighting power. Although they took back the positions, the ones they took back were not so important.

The most important thing is that the beachhead is still in Li Cong's hands, as for the artillery of Cao's House. They didn't take it back either, because

Those cannons exploded when they reached their hands, which made them puzzled, what is this?

why? In addition to these casualties, they still have 6 million lightly wounded, although they have already begun to treat them,

But at this time, there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine. As long as there is something wrong with them, these people will also lose their fighting power, yes

They all know this. Therefore, the total number of casualties in the Western Empire should be around 15 million. any one in history

There will not be such casualties in a single battle, it is only three hours, which is equivalent to five million people per hour, and every minute

It takes thousands of people. In one second, nearly two thousand people died on the battlefield. Such figures are calculated. estimated except

Except for the emperor of the Western Empire, everyone else was frightened by this number, and they had never encountered such a thing.

Casualties on the Cao's House side were also severe. Not only were their positions lost, but the six divisions involved in the attack were all affected.

There were a lot of casualties, because many troops insisted on not retreating in the front, and their deaths were the worst

Well, when the three lines of defense are lost, the 300,000 troops will not be able to come back. The most important thing is that all the thousands of artillery pieces will be destroyed.

It was blown up, there is no way to do it, these artillery have some self-destruct systems on them, as long as they hit the enemy

In the hands of people, it will explode automatically after five minutes. It seems that these artillery are some older models, and they cannot be seen

It can be seen that there is something on them, but as long as you look carefully, you can see that their interior is full of

There is a microcomputer, which is to adopt this self-destruct system when necessary, except for Li Cong and those slaves

People on the ball, other people are not very clear about this thing, and they don't need to know this thing, they

Just use this thing, and you don’t need to do it yourself for the rest, sometimes everything is

In this way, 500,000 people in Cao's Commercial Bank died, and 100,000 people lost their combat effectiveness. It can be said that the battle damage ratio was achieved.

Thirty, but this is not what Li Cong wants. In Li Cong's view, he has already prepared so many artillery pieces.

It should be more advanced than this, so many people have died, the Cao's Commercial Bank has no strength to continue to fight

, although there are still a lot of troops on the warship, they continue to send people up, and the people of the Western Empire continue to come to this kind of battle

Fighting, they have nothing to do, the war has reached this level, if you don't have other trump cards

, It should be discussed with the people of the Western Empire about peace talks, but the arrival of a piece of news made Li Cong dispel his opinion.

This news was sent to Li Cong's headquarters half an hour after the end of the war. The content was also very simple. There were only two items, one

One is that the reinforcements from the northern part of the Western Empire will arrive at the capital of the Western Empire tomorrow morning, with about 30 million people.

, Divided into six groups, advancing side by side. In addition, the Western Empire has already begun to recruit soldiers in several areas around the capital.

They don't need the soldiers to be so powerful, they just need to go up and block the attack of Cao's house.

If a few soldiers can make them advance one meter, they will do such a thing. A few secret workers in the capital

After calculation, the following conclusions were drawn. If the people of the Western Empire began to recruit troops on a large scale in the capital, at least it would be possible

With an army of 50 million, it is said that the people of the Western Empire can continue such losses, but Li Cong only brought

About 2 million troops came, half of which were lost in the war, and there is no improvement now, so this is

Let Li Cong really enter a stalemate, don't you have other good weapons? There are, but the Western Empire uses

With such a tactic, even if he could really win, he would have caused the people of the Western Empire to bleed too much

Well, at that time, it was not so easy for your own chamber of commerce to develop in the Western Empire, because the Western Empire

The common people already hate interacting with themselves, and they are not fools, as long as they start to hate in their hearts

It was already too late when I was alone, do I really want to go to the peace talks by myself? In this case, the Western Empire will definitely open a lot of

On what unacceptable terms did they allow themselves to forgive their debts? Even some of your own technology to share? No

No matter what it is, it is impossible for me to cooperate with them, and it is impossible to talk to them.

Li Cong also felt very headache about this calculation method. He really didn't know what to do. This time can be said to be the most difficult thing he encountered. He also wrote to Wu Zuoxi and the others to discuss the matter here. Yes, Wu Zuoxi has already responded, and this matter is not easy to handle. Although the Cao Family Firm can send a large number of reinforcements, but this time is different from the previous time. There are already troops on both sides of the river, and some unknown numbers of crossbows are deployed in some major places. If those things are activated, the final result is not something they can afford. Many people understand This matter, so it is not easy to do too much. When I came here for the first time, it was so smooth because I came suddenly. Later, it is impossible to want to be the same as when I started. Well, these people won't give you that chance, and what's more, even if the reinforcements arrive, what will happen? Continue the same as now? In fact, there is a better way, which is to use airship bombing to make the people of the Western Empire surrender, but the capital of the Western Empire has a huge magic circle, and Li Cong has also calculated that such a large city with a population of more than one billion, If you want to use bombing to complete it, you need millions of airships to bomb non-stop. This kind of ability is impossible for Li Cong to achieve, unless all industries on the earth are stopped and then started. This kind of thing is only okay, if you do that, even if you achieve your goal, it is not very good, no one is willing to do this, the benefits you get are simply not proportional to your efforts, probably no one is willing Li Cong himself has calculated who does such a thing, so it is a fool who would do such a thing, not himself.

Since none of these things work, Wu Zuoxi gave Li Cong a good solution, which is to do his best to bombard the area around the capital, and then quickly go down the river and rush out directly. If they can't live with them, there is nothing to talk about this matter. At worst, the whole army will start a direct battle with the Western Empire after going out. But this time, we don't plan to start from the capital, and we are already under siege. Yes, what is needed is a war like that of the Southern Empire, starting inch by inch, and at the end, a large piece of meat can always be removed from the Western Empire. I believe they will also be afraid of this matter. The purpose of doing this That is to keep them from signing any jumps with me, just like today's war, if it continues, I definitely don't have much chance of winning. Wu Zuoxi has already said that he can spend up to 20 million The army is coming, but there will still be great difficulties in transporting it to the territory of the Western Empire, mainly because the surrounding areas are not so easy to transport, and the people of Cao's House of Merchant Company do not have their own around here. A base, it is because of this reason that the whole thing is not so easy to do. If there is no such thing, it is possible to do anything in the future. Now this is the most troublesome problem. If it is possible, Li Cong is definitely If you want to fight with the people's congress of the Western Empire, it will definitely not be like this now. You will feel intimidated when you do anything, and Li Cong himself made a big mistake at the beginning. A big empire is definitely not what you want, so you can submit to you just because you occupy a small area around the capital? If this is the case, you might kill all the people from the four great empires.

But the people of the Western Empire are also in great pain at this time. Although an empire as big as theirs would not care about such things, they will understand that the cost will be worth it in the future, and they will do it that way. Yes, it's just that it's hard to say whether the people below them still have such ideas, but among the people, many people have already started to oppose Cao's firm. (To be continued..)
