Chapter 2264: Pursuit

Because the forward position is not very stable, these people are not ready yet, so the large-caliber artillery has not yet been delivered, but the small-caliber artillery also has its own advantages, that is, it is fired faster. Yes, in addition, a batch of grenades was quickly delivered from the earth this morning. This thing can be called a small mortar, but the range is less, and the ammunition The weight is also relatively light, about 300 to 400 meters at most, but one person can carry everything, one person can fire, and if there are shells hanging all over the body, there can be thirty or forty. One person can support a mortar. A mortar of the same caliber generally weighs at least 6 kilograms. The grenadier used by Cao's House is less than 3 kilograms, which is actually lighter than a rifle. Many, the weight of the chain crossbow is basically the same, which is very suitable for individual soldiers to carry. The Type 91 grenade weighs only 0.45 kilograms, and an ammunition bag containing eight rounds weighs only 3.6 kilograms. The total combat system with grenades is less than 7 kilograms, which is much lighter than a super chain crossbow. Due to its light weight, the grenadier team will not be as heavy-loaded as the mortar team or the heavy machine gun team-it cannot fight with the front-line infantry in time. In actual combat, the grenadier team can even charge with the infantry. Generally speaking, the killing radius of the grenade is about 5 to 8 meters. If a grenade falls in the crowd, it can kill dozens of people. This power is not bad for a 50mm caliber. For the technologically mature earth, the cost of grenades is only a quarter of that of super chain crossbows. The Type 91 grenades are basically the same as ordinary infantry grenades and are extremely cheap. Compared with the good performance of the grenadier, such a price is simply too cheap. Considering some cost issues on the front line, this is also very good. There were many such things in World War II before. Yes, it’s not bad that the military on Earth has produced such a thing. At the beginning, many people didn’t know how to use the grenade, but later, when people saw the first person using it, they knew it. Yes, such a thing can be said to be very simple, and these people have seen the benefits of this thing. Everyone has to sign up to receive one of these things. However, there are also orders from above. A class of twenty people can only have two of these things. You must know that a class of twenty people has their own responsibilities, and it is impossible for more people to manipulate this thing. After the reform of the military system of Cao's Commercial Bank. It can be said that there are twenty people in the unit of the class. During the war, it even had to reach 26 people, just like now, it has reached 30 people. Three of them operate a mortar, two transport shells, and four operate a super chain crossbow, which takes up one-third of the people. The others still need to charge, so there can be two more people. It will be very good in the future, but after the war started, they quickly understood how useful this thing is. These two people can quickly follow the troops to charge, as long as they find any place that is dangerous, directly It’s been two shots in the past. If you’re not sure, you can even shoot straight. This kind of thing is really good. It’s much stronger than the mortar behind the call. These people from the Eastern Empire probably haven’t seen it yet. Let's shoot the artillery with such a high frequency, and now I'm scared out of my wits.

They all know that the army of Cao's Commercial Bank is powerful, but they still don't feel the same situation as today's situation. None of them know what the people in Cao's Commercial Bank are equipped with. There are still a lot of them. The general can unite his soldiers, more or less relying on some fortifications to form a defensive front, and their archers will also carry out some projectiles. no small injury,

But now it seems that this is not of much use. Basically, the people in Cao's House will not care about this thing. They will have their own methods. I really don't know what to say when such a thing happens. After the people from Cao's Commercial Company used this grenadier, they were immediately dumbfounded. How could they shoot so accurately? You must know that the cannon was always by your side when it came over. where to fight? They knew that the artillery of Cao's House had its own observers, but that couldn't be so accurate. Didn't they all change places? It's completely different from the beginning. How could such a situation happen? Now that such a situation has occurred, everyone doesn't know what to do, so let's continue to retreat. After ordering to rush in, the gate of the camp was blown open by two grenades. Thousands of soldiers did not rush in, but listened to their commander, and thousands of grenades were thrown into the camp. It’s inside, thousands of grenades are nothing, as long as this thing is needed, there are plenty of it in the back, such things are nothing compared to human life, this is also an offensive strategy of Cao’s house, tell the back Don't hide those people in there and shoot coldly. After the grenade is thrown out, it will be a distance of hundreds of meters, and the soldiers of Cao's Commercial Company will rush in. Basically, there is nothing to be blown up by the grenade within the distance of 100 meters. It's a good place, even if there are still a few people who are panting, they are dumbfounded at the moment, how could they start throwing this thing so regardless of the cost, and when they sprinted to the next 100 meters, these people immediately took it out again It's my second grenade, and these people performed the same move as before. Although this kind of advance speed is a bit slower, it is absolutely safe. Less than five people were injured in the last 100 meters. If you just rushed in like that at the beginning, I don’t know how many people have been injured or injured at this moment. The people of Cao’s House are not very good at this kind of street fighting. Hiding in the dark, coming out suddenly may cause many people to react, and it is for this reason that Li Cong strictly forbids the people of Cao's House of Firm to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, so that only some ammunition is wasted. Compared with the expensive blood money of the soldiers, this money is nothing. The soldiers are also very grateful to the Cao's House of Commerce, because the business really thinks of them. Now many soldiers remember Li Cong said In other words, it’s nothing to exchange 100 grenades for the life of a soldier. 100 grenades are worth 5,000 taels of silver on this planet. This amount is not small for anyone, and these people are also grateful. , and because of this. Their sense of belonging to the army will be very strong. All of these people are working hard.

The son-in-law of the Eastern Empire doesn't know what to do at this time. In fact, he doesn't have anything to do now. The dozens of generals under him are now only three here, and the others are not given by their own people. To kill is to kill the people of Cao's firm. Otherwise, the remaining few would find a place to hide by themselves. Neither are they fools. If this continues in the past, isn't it courting death? These people are people with brains. They may not do things very well, but there is absolutely no problem with escaping or anything. These people are very good at running, and sometimes these people do things so fast, it is probably time to be greedy for money, and now they are all concerned about their own lives, but they don't have that idea anymore, the son-in-law is now What I want to know the most is the captive policy of Cao's House, because when he was about to get on his horse, a grenade was thrown over there, and the horse ran away immediately, and the soldiers of Cao's House shouted "Kneel down!" Surrender", this guy here didn't think about anything, he immediately knelt down. At this time, he would never think about that damned hereditary title. If it can be changed, I don’t want the title on my body anymore, as long as I can keep myself alive, why was I blindfolded by lard back then, why do I want that hereditary title, do I really have that life? ? It can be said that at the beginning, I really thought I had that fate. Look at how many people in the capital wanted to have such a chance, but none of them had the chance, so I was different. I had just arrived at the front line, the emperor His Majesty's order came, and I just cooperated, and I didn't try my best. Besides, I wouldn't go to the front line to fight, and those who died were those under my command. Untouchables, if they die, the empire will give them a little silver, and the lives of thousands of people will dye their red caps red. This kind of thing is very normal. I also know that there is no problem with this matter. In the past It might not work, but now it’s okay for my hereditary title. This was all my own thoughts before, and now I know that I was really wrong, and it was very wrong. Well, after doing it, these soldiers also know what their status is. They don’t want to go, they don’t give you a stepping stone. The person from Cao's House is here, so it's such a coincidence, is it possible to say that I didn't inform the people of Cao's Commercial Bank internally? It's simply impossible, each of these people has their own ideas, now it's all right, these damned guys must be very proud, the son-in-law looked at these people around him, and wanted to see Who is the one who betrayed himself? The soldiers from the Cao’s House came over. They didn’t care if you belonged to a general or not. When you came up, you just passed by with one foot. Where did the pampered son-in-law get this before? Shouting, but seeing that all my own soldiers are under arrest one by one, I don’t have that kind of thought. Damn, I can still live without being exposed. If it is exposed, I don’t know it will be a what happened.

The first stage of the attack can basically be said to be over. At this time, about one-third of the camp of the East Emperor Army Corps, which stretches for hundreds of miles, has been occupied by the people of Cao's House. Now the second stage is A small group of troops has begun to mop up, and these people are not so easy to deal with, but Li Wei already has other ideas, these people should all be rushed to the territory of the Northern Empire, didn't you open the way to let them in Well, let's see what these rout soldiers can do. They definitely don't have much money on them, so when they do things, they will inevitably do some outrageous things. These people will definitely burn, kill and loot everywhere. Yes, even the local army of the Northern Empire will not know what to do at that time. If this really kills the soldiers of the Eastern Empire. There are some things above that are not very easy to explain. If this trouble is not good, it will cause a war between the two empires. Sometimes things will happen like this, and sometimes a big war will be caused like this. , This is what the little guy Li Wei thought of at this time. Tens of millions of routs are definitely enough for the people of the Northern Empire to drink a pot. , and began to carry out the war cleanup, absolutely no enemy can be spared. Of course. There is also a hidden order behind it, that is, no one will be killed. Only such an iron-blooded policy will make the Eastern Empire's army run with all its strength, of course. There will be some more valuable things in the army. Like these horses and tents. These things are very good, if you don't take these things back, you will be too sorry for yourself. We don't have the habit of robbing ordinary people, but robbing our enemies, and the defeated enemies, is a very easy thing for us. When the army of the Eastern Empire started, there were indeed many people who wanted to They wanted to surrender, but soon they knew the policy of Cao's House of Firm. These people were simply crazy. Killed all the opponents, they knew that they had only one way, if they went south, they would enter the Warcraft Mountains, even if they were all troops, there would be a lot of people, but after entering, it would be a drop in the ocean, there would be absolutely no bubbles Turning it up, the monsters in these monster mountains will definitely eat nothing left of themselves. No matter for such a thing, no one is willing to go, unless they are fifth-level fighters, In this way, it is possible to cross the Warcraft Mountains and return to their hometown. The other is to go north into the territory of the Northern Empire. There is no other way. There have been conflicts at times, but isn’t the biggest enemy now the Cao’s Commercial Bank? If it weren’t for the Cao’s Commercial Bank in front of them, they might still be enemies. Naturally, they couldn’t enter at that time, but it’s different now Well, we are all allies, they will take care of us, besides, Cao’s House did not start a war with the Northern Empire, as long as we can run in, no one will do anything to us, it must be It's ok, these people thought of this, they didn't think about anything, and rushed towards some cities in the Northern Empire in a swarm.

Although the army of the Northern Empire had already imposed martial law on the warring area at the beginning of the war, it was not that serious. The army of the Eastern Empire would often come to buy some things. Those of the Northern Empire The generals are not fools, anyway, you all came here from a long distance, some supplies and so on need to be bought from us, the price must be higher, this amount of money is what they think it is Well, the people of the Eastern Empire really didn’t notice it. After all, the Eastern Empire is much richer than the people of the Northern Empire. It is for this reason that the number of troops in the border area is only hundreds of thousands. Now, and they were all going to attack, how could they be beaten back by the people of Cao's House of Commerce? The news they got was that the army of Cao's House of Commerce was only more than one million, and these few horses from the Eastern Empire There used to be at least 30 million troops in the army. If something happened, it would be a terrible thing for the people of Cao's house to catch prisoners, so they would never worry that the army of Cao's house would come here , but when they got up today, they felt that their eyelids would always twitch. Langfeng was a general manager of the Northern Empire, and the thousands of people under his command had recently learned from the Eastern Emperor's army. No matter what they buy, I am satisfied with them, but I will add half of the price to this price. Today, he is still thinking about whether the Eastern Empire general who traded with him should buy something again. As for things, these generals of the Eastern Empire are the same as they are at home when they are on the battlefield. They are basically pampered. Yes, I sent him the best things I searched for. If it wasn’t for the sake of money, I wouldn’t serve that guy. Right now, he felt something was wrong when he just got up. Sometimes there will be thick smoke over there, because we all know that the troops of Cao's House used artillery when they attacked. But is the thick smoke a bit thicker today? Just when he was about to ask the scouts, he saw his scout not far away beating his horse like crazy and coming this way, this bastard! You are going to die. The scouts have the best horses. Damn, I would be heartbroken to lose a horse in normal times. You can’t beat the horse crazy with your style of play. How can you do things like this, this guy is going to go up and scold this guy for a while. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw an extra layer of black lines in the distance. The general was dumbfounded. What's going on? Why are people from the Eastern Empire coming here? Are they going to attack us? The lookout post of the barracks immediately blew the horn of emergency. Hundreds of thousands of troops immediately entered the front line. But when they were ready to fight, they were all dumbfounded. How could this be the case, where did these people come from, and how could these people start to attack our defense line. There are a little too many people here, hundreds of times more than theirs here, can these hundreds of thousands of heat defend them? It seems to be a bit of a joke. This is absolutely impossible. The calves of these people are shaking a little. Besides, can they shoot arrows?

"Damn it, bastard, what are you still doing in a daze, call me, give me all the things you can use, see how many of them there are? If you don't call them back, just trample They can trample us to death. These people are already defeated. They will not stop without blood. We only have less than half a million people. "A sixth-level fighter is their supreme commander here. This guy was decisive, and immediately fired a magic arrow. This is what he released. This is a magic arrow with fire attributes. There are still tens of thousands of meters left, and only such people can make some attacks. This magic arrow is also the most powerful one purchased from Cao's House. It flew out like a fire dragon, and everything along the way burned up. , That is to say, this magic arrow worth five million taels of silver opened the horn of the battle. Since the boss said so, the people below will naturally not be idle. The army of the Eastern Empire is here. If the people from Cao’s House see it, they will definitely clap their hands and make friends immediately. Damn it, it turns out that other than us, there are still people with such a powerful ability. Our first wave can kill It’s enough to die so many of them. These people’s skills are absolutely powerful. I’m surprised by what these people do one by one. If they didn’t burst out with such great enthusiasm when they were dying, who would believe that this is the Northern Empire? As for the army of the Eastern Empire, in five minutes, the army of the defeated Eastern Empire suffered more than 200,000 casualties, but their total number is tens of millions. These people can't stop at all, and the people behind them don't even know What's going on, they just know that they have to run fast, otherwise the people from the Cao's House of Commerce behind will kill themselves if they catch themselves, those people from the Cao's House of Trade have already said that, They don't want to take prisoners, the only way out for people like themselves is ahead, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they have to go there, right? Many people also said that they wanted to go back and fight with the people from Cao's House, but they didn't come back after they left. What does this mean? It shows that it is impossible to return there, so their way out is in front of these people, and only these people can save themselves. At this time, don't say words like allies, we don't need them For such allies, these people who want to come to the Northern Empire should quickly make way for them to come in, but the generals of the Northern Empire immediately saw that these people are not the army. If there is an organized army, let them It's nothing if they come in, because it won't cause any chaos, but these people are all routs. If the army has no organization, it's some bandits. These people come in one by one, and the common people will really suffer. I usually do things like bullying ordinary people, but the nature of these people is completely different. If these people come in, it is hard to say whether these ordinary people will survive, maybe There will be no one alive in their family, so the soldiers of the Northern Empire must not let them in. The Northern Empire has less than 3 million troops in the border area. It seems that it is impossible to block them. Well, they might not be able to deal with the soldiers of Cao's House. But if they fight with the army of the Northern Empire, they may still win. After all, this is a chance to survive. They will not give up this opportunity. They must all fight for it. Maybe he went to Fengdu City.

I was dumbfounded by the county towns near the empire. How could such a thing happen? You must know that there are more than 100,000 people in their cities, and less than 30,000 people in their cities. The front line of defense of hundreds of thousands of people Definitely not of much use. They all know very clearly that if people reach the last moment, they will definitely have other ideas. They also understand that it is absolutely impossible for these people to reason with them. They are a group of bandits now, and what you did in the past was your own business. If only there were no such things. Then there is no need to understand these things. In the future, it's up to you to think about it yourself, but now there are some unusual things happening, that is, I don't know how the news was passed in so early. The rich people in this city started to pack up their things and prepare to leave, but at this time the airship in the city has refused to pick up anyone, and some finances of the Cao’s House also need to be transferred, and the airship to transfer them is not enough Well, how can it be used to transfer these rich people? Of course, there will still be one or two airships that can be vacated, but we have sacrificed some of our own things to squeeze them out. The price is naturally very expensive, for example, when we went to the provincial capital in the past At most, it's 20,000 silver, and now it's at least twice as much. It depends on whether you had a good relationship with our Cao's Commercial Bank in the past. If the relationship is not very good, then I'm sorry, you You have to pay twice as much money. This method of Cao’s House was also explained by the above. In fact, according to the original price, many people will be able to leave, but it’s not necessary, is it? In fact, there are only a few people in the city who have money. Twenty thousand and two hundred thousand are just the same number for them at this time. As long as they can survive, they will pay this money. Ten people are leaving, and now I don’t take anyone with me, just take my own people, and at this time, they should also understand that if they miss this opportunity, relying on your carriage or something, it is absolutely impossible Maybe you can run out, the rout of the Eastern Empire is much faster than yours, if they catch up, this will be a fun thing, if there is no chaos in the city, the people of the Northern Empire They can still persist for a while, but because the city is in chaos, it is impossible for them to persist, even the city gates cannot be closed. In the end, the soldiers in the city also joined the voyage, They also know that it is impossible for their own people to stop these people, so they may as well leave, otherwise, there will be no benefit at all if they stay. Of course, Cao's House also has its own friends. Yes, for example, some people who have made important contributions to the Cao's Commercial Bank in normal times can get on the airship basically without paying a penny. Doesn't it mean that the Cao's Commercial Bank does not have an airship? This is what we got temporarily, right? What about us? For our friends, it is very normal to throw away some property or something. For our friends, it is nothing to lose some, as long as it can make our friends pay attention to this place, it will be fine. As for Other things are out of our consideration, and those are things that you should consider.

The application of the grenade made the firepower of Cao's House stronger, but it's not so small. These people followed the orders from above, and tirelessly pursued the army of the Eastern Empire, even if they couldn't move. Sometimes they have to symbolically fire a few shots at the land in front of them. This is not because they want to waste shells or something, but their officers told them that what they want at this time is to hit the enemy and let them They all know that this matter is actually not that simple, they have to let them know that the enemy behind them is biting them hard, and some airships are also throwing bombs behind them vigorously. Kill them on a large scale, but this guy Li Wei doesn't want such a thing to happen. In that case, these people may flee in all directions. In this way, there may be a lot fewer people, and these people may not be able to break the Northern Empire The defense line is closed, which is a good thing for the Eastern Empire and the Northern Empire. As long as it is good for you, it is not good for Cao's firm. This kind of thing is not allowed to happen. When the court of the Northern Empire knew the news three days later, it was already a bowl. The good news is that the troops of the Cao Family Firm did not continue to advance. They were all in the border areas of the Northern Empire. They stopped, they had no intention of continuing to attack, they were all waiting there honestly, but the huge bad news is that all the thirty-five counties and cities on the border have entered the Cointreau of the Eastern Empire, according to the people below According to the saying, these people are all like locusts, and there is basically nothing in the places they pass. Such things made the Eastern Empire feel very shameless. All the soldiers I sent out were old, weak and sick, but they were all from the regular army of the Eastern Empire. How could they be reduced to robbing other people's territory? Such things make them feel very uncomfortable. This Northern Empire is not just as simple as being uncomfortable. This is simply a disaster. It is said that millions of people have been killed and tens of millions of people have left their homes. They became refugees, and many officials of the Northern Empire were also killed. At the beginning, if they encountered the army and officials of the Northern Empire, those defeated soldiers could hold back their hands one by one. But then they couldn't help it anymore. If they didn't do anything to them, these people would do it to themselves. This kind of thing made them unbearable, and they directly attacked these people. Anyway, killing one is killing, two One is to kill, since they are all the same, then there is nothing to say, just kill, in the end it is what it looks like, anyway, they don't care much about this matter, sometimes it happens Such a thing is helpless. Anything can happen on the battlefield. Originally, the high-level officials of the Northern Empire wanted to suppress this matter. As long as they do not publicize such things, some people in the country will not I know, it won't be a big deal in the end, but will the people of Cao's House be so kind to not let you publicize this matter? That's impossible. People from the intelligence department of Cao's Commercial Bank have already gone out and started spreading the news. What they all said was more tragic than the front line. The soldiers of the Eastern Empire were said to be beasts. the same.

At the beginning, not many people believed this. After all, they still believed in what the court said, but now they all understand this matter one by one. They all clearly know that this matter is true, because now There is no need for anyone to say anything. Many people who escaped from the dozens of counties and cities in front of them all have a certain social status in the local area. Friends, the words that come out of their mouths must be correct. At the beginning, there were just one or two people who said that, and the court could stop them from speaking, but when more and more people said this If so, how does this count? Do these people have to stop talking? That is impossible, and soon some people in the Northern Empire will be dissatisfied. What kind of ally is this? Why did they burn, kill and loot on our own territory? People from Cao’s House also bought some people from the Northern Empire. Literati, these literati all say that they don’t love money, no matter what happens, they will not mess up, but in fact it’s not the same thing, they didn’t talk casually before, that’s Because the money given to them was not enough, when the people from Cao’s Commercial Bank gave them 100,000 silver, these people immediately stood up, what national righteousness, national sovereignty, territorial integrity, common people’s interests, good guy’s , All of these came out one by one, these things are very important things, if these things are not done well, how will we protect our own people in the future, the threat of Cao's firm is not small, But they didn't come to rob our own people, and they didn't have much hatred with our empire, but these so-called allies were different. So many things happened to them in such a short period of time. It’s not about our lives. They’ll be sorry if we don’t kill them. The court of the Northern Empire has nothing to do when they see this. There are still many spokespersons of the Cao’s House in the court of the Northern Empire. They also seized them. This opportunity requires the army of the Northern Empire to quickly resolve this matter. The so-called solution is naturally to annihilate these people. In fact, it is very easy for the Northern Empire to annihilate these people, but these people are from the Eastern Empire. The person who beats the dog depends on the owner. The naval battle with the Eastern Empire was over a while ago, but I have lost a lot. The Eastern Empire has not lost much. If it causes a war, we will not see it. It must be able to withstand it. The comprehensive national strength of the Eastern Empire is much stronger than ours. Those who are afraid of wolves and tigers do not know what to do. At this time, the Eastern Empire also hopes that the people of the Northern Empire can Those who let these people go, even if these people are not soldiers, but they can't be ignored. If this is spread, what will happen to the soldiers in the Eastern Empire? But at this time, some unharmonious things happened in the Eastern Empire. I really don’t know what to do about this matter. People in the Eastern Empire are also making a fuss. People from the Cao’s Commercial Bank spread the news That is to say, the Northern Empire betrayed the alliance, and together with the people from the Cao’s House of Commerce, they encircled and suppressed these warriors from the Eastern Empire. The people from the Cao’s House of Trade also said the same thing. They were originally robbers, but now they are all Warriors.

Anyway, no one is going to verify this thing, we just need to listen to what we say, the people of the Eastern Empire began to be hostile to the people of the Northern Empire, especially the people of the navy, because their high-level people were Seeing the threat of Cao's House of Commerce, that's why they united with the people here, but the previous conflicts were not so easy to cover up. At the beginning, Li Cong said that such an alliance is the easiest to break. If nothing happens, everything is good, but if there is a defeat, everything will be shown, there is nothing to say, the so-called alliance is sometimes used for betrayal. (To be continued..)
