Chapter 2335 Tianmen Pass

One is because the remuneration of Cao's House is good, and the other is because everyone has seen clearly that the Southern Empire really has no hope of winning, so now most people feel how to go, it doesn't matter if you feel it, In the future, the troubles of the Cao's House will come, and the biggest trouble will appear today. The twelve generals of the Southern Empire all led their troops to surrender directly to Li Wei. The twelve generals had about There are more than 136 million troops. Except for the hundreds of thousands of troops loyal to the royal family, they all followed their bosses and surrendered. No one had thought of such a thing. The emperor of the Southern Empire just announced that they The remaining troops are all loyal to the royal family of the Southern Empire. Is this a slap in the face? This should be a naked slap in the face. For these people, it is estimated that the royal family of the Southern Empire did not know what to say, but when Li Wei learned about the situation, there was an even more surprising thing, because in this hundred million There were actually 116 members of the royal family among the large army, which surprised them. The senior executives of the Cao's House also felt puzzled when they heard the news. It is said that these ordinary people or other not-so-good aristocrats It is understandable to surrender here with Cao's House, but why would this member of the royal family do that? Could it be that he was unwilling to follow the emperor of the Southern Empire? Li Wei did not dare to neglect this. Although their titles are not very high, if they are used well, they will definitely be more powerful than his own thousands of troops. Yes, Minde used to deal with these people a lot in the past, so asking him to ask these people is not a problem. After getting to know it, he will understand what's going on. Most of these people are marginal Among the descendants of the royal family, one of the highest members of the committee is an earl. In fact, the Southern Empire has been around for such a long time. Said,...the number of members of the royal family is already in the millions or even more. Of course, those direct descendants will continue to follow the emperor of the Southern Empire, because no matter what the people of the Cao Family Firm give It is impossible for them to compare with what they are at this time. They must follow the emperor of the Southern Empire. If they don't follow, they will not have such a good life in the future. But these people are completely different. They say that their daily lives are similar to those of ordinary people, just like Vilula. Vilula is one of them. He himself just has a The title of jazz is enough. Speaking of it, they don’t know when their family has fallen. It is said that the younger brother of the emperor of the last few generations belonged to the ancestor of their family. At that time, he was still the title of a prince. Yes, but by the time of his generation, there was already one knight title left. This is already the lowest of all titles, and it is the same as the fifth-rank official. If you can live, this kind of title is also very good, but there are millions of knights in the empire, it is called the royal family, but They are the most irritated class in the royal family, not only do they give the least things every year. And other aspects are not very good, just like joining the army. If my father belonged to a prince or duke, he would not need to join the army at all. Even if he was an earl, he would not have such a thing. However, jazz is different. There are too many jazz in the empire. Was drawn into the army. In addition to him, there is one of the three brothers in his family who has a title. That brother has already died in battle. Now the court has ordered their army to continue to fight against the people of the Cao family firm. He feels that there is no chance of winning, so he brings The 3,000 troops under him are ready to surrender. Who knows that many troops around feel that this is the only way out, and they have no other way. If this is the case, then everyone should come here together. In the eyes of the common people, they are all the proud sons of heaven.

But only they themselves know how miserable their life is. It can be said that it is not as good as some rich people in ordinary people's families. As long as the royal family is doing some face-saving projects, they need people like them to come out. , but if something good happens, it has nothing to do with them. Who told them that their titles are so low? The imperial court promotes a certain number of titles to the royal family every year. This is necessary, otherwise In other words, if they are all promoted to a very high title, the annual settlement allowance for them will not be a small number, and the empire's finances cannot support such expenses, so even if they have some attack It's useless when you come here, because the higher-ups will ignore you directly. You are all considered old people for such things. Don't you know such things? Since this is the case, then just surrender directly. There are many people like him. Min De feels that this is also a huge opportunity. After all, the most people in the imperial family are just like this person. They They are all at the bottom of the royal family. If you have a good talk with them, they must have a good intention to surrender. Besides, the court of the Southern Empire does not trust other generals very much. It is these children of the royal family, who do not know that these people are also some of the people who are most likely to betray them. After the surrender of these dozen generals, it caused a huge repercussion in the Southern Empire. The capital of the Southern Empire also started a period of terrorist activities. A large number of troops began to arrest some people who want to rebel, including the family members of some people who have already rebelled. Since the people in your family have walked with Cao Jiashang, then you don’t need to continue to survive here In the eyes of the emperor of the Southern Empire, such an approach should be very useful. As long as it is done well, the rest of the people will definitely not dare to act rashly in the future. What I want to see, on the contrary, is to let more people join the ranks. The imperial court asked the generals outside to send all their family members to the capital. As a result, these people thought that the imperial court wanted their military power Well, one by one they all started discussing negotiations with Cao's House.

It can be said that there is no one with a more problematic mind than the emperor of the Southern Empire. At this time, when such a thing is done, it is clear that you are telling everyone that you don't trust these people under you. They are all panicked. It's over, I don't know what to do anymore, and I don't know how to give them a little benefit at this time. On the contrary, we have to give them such a punishment. If they can accept it, then there is something wrong with their brains, and none of them are willing to do such a thing. They surrender more frequently, and some people not only surrender by themselves of. He also persuaded the troops around him to go with him, and they all had their own ideas. With the matter of the dozen generals in front, they felt that if they only brought their own troops, the people from Cao's House might I won't pay much attention to them. If I unite with a few generals, the number of people will be larger, and this will make a lot of noise. In the future, my life will be better, right? That is to say, their idea made the people of Cao's firm very busy. Who can prepare food for so many people? They used to eat up the new army of the Southern Empire government, but now they seem to have become their own people. They work for you every day. No matter what, you have to give people enough food. If such things are not enough, it is estimated that there will not be so many people who will surrender in the future. Everyone is still very clear about such things. . So even if the people on my side grit their teeth, they have to arrange the lives of these people, as long as they live well. There will be more troops coming in the future, and people like myself don't need to go to the battlefield to fight hard. Only at this time did the court of the Southern Empire feel that their power is over, and even the children of the royal family have become surrenders. They all felt that the end might really be coming, and the Southern Empire had also taken many measures. For example, there are a lot of supervisors in the army, so that many generals can be watched over, but the supervisors can only watch over the officials. How can they watch over the soldiers below? They don't have that many people, and they can't prohibit everything the soldiers below want to do. Besides, even if you say it yourself, people will not care about this matter. They will feel that the minds of these supervising soldiers are all problematic. It is estimated that everyone may die here. Don't think that such a thing will never happen. Indeed, such a thing really would not happen before, but now it is completely different. Many people nowadays no longer have the previous concept of superiors and subordinates. They will do things that they themselves dare not do. Anyway, it is the last moment. What else are they afraid of? ? Under such circumstances, Tuoba Yuanye led millions of the most elite guards to the Tianmen Pass outside the capital of the Southern Empire at twice the speed of other troops. It is the last pass. In the past, all military generals who wanted to enter the capital had to call out their troops at this place. The generals could bring hundreds of personal guards to protect themselves, but here In the future, you must let your army rest here honestly, and the rest of the army can continue to enter. At most, you can bring 20 guards. Of course, the prince is not in this ranks. They You can do this at the gate of the city. Although the final effect is the same, it is impossible to bring many people into the capital, but it can be seen that the privileges of members of the royal family are still very good. Ba Yuanye took a look at Tianmen Pass. It is not a big pass, but now there are tens of millions of troops guarding it. It can be said that Tianmen Pass is the last barrier for the capital of the Southern Empire, as long as it is taken here. , It is estimated that the beliefs of those people in the Southern Empire can be broken directly, and they will not continue to maintain the original idea. It is because of this that what is needed is speed. In Tuoba Yuanye In less than two hours after arriving here, the artillerymen have already adjusted to shoot Zhuyuan, and the soldiers who closed the ancient Tianmen have also seen the giant cannons of Cao's House that they used to spread around. I have seen what it looks like today. I don’t know the reason. As long as they see the black hole in the muzzle, they all feel weak all over. How could such a thing happen? How did this person make such a thing, how could they blow up people hundreds of miles away? It is impossible for the people from Cao's House to explain their question to them, but with Tuoba After Yuan Ye's order, they can see the power of this thing. After adjusting the angle, all the 203 cannons were tested. There were only two shells to see their accuracy. Hundreds of shells hit the place less than 50 meters away from the city wall in an instant. , they all forgot the danger.

They all looked at the open space in front of the city wall. Damn it, there was nothing within a few tens of meters of a cannonball falling down. What was in the hole? They looked at the knife or other things in their hands. What kind of weapon can such a thing be compared with that of others? This thing should be impossible, people from other people didn't come up at all, and the things I usually learned seemed to be of no use, that's why. When they looked into the distance, they were all confused, and they were very shocked just now, but now they really don't know what their future will be like, even though the army on their side is theirs. There are more than ten times the number of people on the side, but the number of people is useless. In the past, whoever had the most troops was a very important condition for determining the outcome of the war. army battle. This battle loss ratio is more than one to fifteen, and the troops in front of them are the elite troops of Cao's firm. Fighting with them, I really don't have much chance of winning in my heart. This is also the enemy we found ourselves. If we had been with the people from Cao's House at the beginning, the people from the other three empires are probably at our gunpoint now trembling.

But now saying such a thing really has no influence at all, and the people in Cao's House are not fools. They all remembered what we did before. Otherwise, they would not have put down all the other three empires and came to deal with us. If they took the initiative to attack the Eastern Empire, it would definitely be It is more than what they got in the Southern Empire, but they maintained a certain offensive in the Eastern Empire. Treating the Southern Empire as the most important battlefield, this kind of performance can already prove that the senior management of the Cao Family Firm will not forget the betrayal of the Southern Empire. Soon, the soldiers at Tianmenguan will see When they arrived at Cao's House, the artillery began to adjust. It seemed that there was a problem with the angle just now. They all knew that if they fired again, it would be their own heads. At this time, many generals were shouting loudly. I hope this can cheer them up, but the soldiers saw something else, that is, although these generals performed very well one by one, they all approached the stairs going down by coincidence. What's the meaning? Didn't these bastards say they wanted to share weal and woe with us? Sure enough, it's all like this. As long as they are in danger, they don't remember what happened, and they all think of themselves. Now they are in the situation before them. These damned guys really don't know what to do. Tell them what to say, look at their appearance, you can tell that they are all scared, indeed, some of these officials are willing to follow here and lose their lives, these stupid soldiers are nothing, I can't Damn, just when they were about to go down, the artillery started to fire. This time it was not a trial shot. The people from Cao's House had already shouted to them all. If they all surrendered, they would directly open the city. The door is fine, but obviously they have no intention of surrendering. Since this is the case, we don't need to give you any face. The first shot hit the city wall, and the huge explosion made the city bricks on the city wall fly everywhere. A general who hadn't had time to go down had his head chopped off by the flying shrapnel, and the other generals didn't care about their image at this time, and hurriedly ran down even rolling and crawling. There are a few of their generals as role models, and the next few lieutenants don't care about it. Damn, you are all gone. I was also raised by my father and mother, right? If the cannonball came over, the buddy must be dead, just let the officers below look at it, and a dozen lieutenants all came down, but their luck was not so good, and one of the generals died. The lieutenant general died five or six times, there was no way, the artillery was too dense, and the general soldiers below wanted to follow the lieutenant, but unfortunately they had no chance, because the artillery hit them. Those who didn't dare to raise their heads regretted it all in their hearts. Damn, why didn't they know they were by the general's side just now. As long as you can, run here to show a fart, now you know you are wrong, now you know you regret it, what is the use, look at the situation outside. Going out is definitely a narrow escape. Now everyone wants to leave the city wall. They have only heard of Cao's siege method before, and have never seen it. Fifteen minutes later, the first round The shelling was over, and now not even a third of the 300,000 defenders on the city wall are gone, and most of them are not even physically intact. Look at the city wall again. This is not the city wall of the big city of Tianguang City. It is only three or four meters thick at most. Huge cracks can be seen inside the city wall. It is not of much use at all. If some people think about it, it is estimated that this place will be broken in ten minutes, and now they don't have much escape route. The generals below heard that the artillery of Cao's House had stopped, and immediately ordered the second wave of soldiers to go up. Alternate the soldiers above, and the soldiers below have seen what happened just now. Damn, tell us to go up? Isn't this sending you to death? None of them were willing to go up, and the generals knew what the soldiers were thinking at this time, so they immediately brought in a few soldiers and beheaded them. Under the threat of blood, the second batch of soldiers slowly climbed up the city wall, and immediately more than half of them began to vomit. They had never seen such a situation before, and they really didn't know what to say What's the matter.

This place is simply a hell on earth. There are human organs and other things everywhere. When they saw these things, they felt that they didn't even have the strength to vomit. How could such a thing happen? The battlefield and others It's not the first time they've gone up, but they've definitely seen this situation here for the first time. The battlefield is actually not that scary in their hearts, but they really don't want to go up to such a battlefield, because it's so close to the stairs. Several people hurriedly prepared to go down. They really couldn't stand the situation above, but the archers below immediately pointed their bows and arrows at them. Anyone who dared to continue to take a step would be killed immediately. The officers below told them to immediately throw the corpses of the people above outside, so as not to affect the defense. This made the soldiers immediately angry. Damn, they were all soldiers before, so they are treated like that now? Is it possible that after this shelling, they will also be thrown down by the next batch of people? In the end, he was so rotten? This kind of thing often happens on the battlefield, especially on the side where the battle is not going well. They will do such things. For them, these dead people have no effect Yes, it's better to throw them out quickly. If they continue to stay on the city wall, it will bring a lot of trouble, and there may be a plague or something serious. Such a thing must never happen.

Many people really don't know what to say about their boss's idea. How can they do things like this? You must know that the Southern Empire is at the end of its rope now. These soldiers are really depressed. They come here to work hard. It's an uncomfortable thing, and now they have to accept the current treatment. They really don't know what to say, but now the archers below are facing them. It's not very easy to fight from the outside, but it's still very easy to fight from the inside. It's easy, if it wasn't for those who supervised the army to control the city gate and their food, it is estimated that the next move of these people is to rebel, at least let those outsiders in, they are really depressed I'm about to die, I really don't know what to say, if these people continue to do things like this in the future, I guess they will fail faster, there is no other way right now, they can only throw all these corpses Going down, some people still have a breath, but unfortunately they can't say anything, they can only feel that their own people have thrown themselves down, and immediately after descending from a height of tens of meters, there is a scene of no bones left , I really don’t know what to say, this is the empire they are loyal to, and that’s how they were treated at the end. The soldiers of Cao’s House over there were also surprised when they saw this situation. In fact, they also knew it before. People from the four empires all did this, and they didn’t feel anything. After all, they were all dead, so how to deal with it was not that important. However, they had been in the army of Cao’s House for such a long time. Now, they felt that this matter should not be done that way, at least they couldn't do such a thing, and the people above told them. As long as there is a chance, they must bring back their brothers' bodies. Even if their bodies cannot be transported back to their hometown, their ashes must be brought back. This is what they have to do Things, if you can't even do this, bigger things may happen in the future. This will also allow the soldiers to be more identifiable with the object of their current allegiance, and it will also allow their family members to have a place to worship themselves in the future. They all understand such things, so they will see such things Surprised, but soon they didn't have time to be surprised, because Tuoba Yuanye had already made a battle plan. After the bombardment, there will definitely be a collapsed city wall, just like in Tianguang City. They are going to use the gap there to rush in. As long as the first attack goes smoothly, the people inside probably don't even have the intention to resist. They understand such things very well, so such things one by one Everyone felt that it was normal, and the demolition troops not far away were also ready. In the past, the army did not have any demolition troops, but now it is different. Almost every company has a blasting team, and their skills are very good. It can be said that things like siege are their best performance opportunities. Usually, they have nothing to do, but their salary is the highest in the army, and other people have no complaints. The battle damage of the army is also very high, and the battle loss ratio is not as high as that of the front-line attacking army. This army is also respected by many people. They really fought with their lives. At the beginning, many people didn't understand them very well, but after the airport war, this matter changed. Each of these people felt that they were powerful. They used to think that the most powerful in the army were those who could use heavy artillery, but now those people are going to the second place. The most powerful is the people in front of them. The demolition team, as long as they make a move, the rest will be different. Many people can often leave their lives behind, but what they themselves may show is their own life. Their protection is also very important. It is said that their clothes are made of the fur of monsters. A cavalry needs more than 10,000 silver from training to the battlefield, but a demolition soldier is said to be worth as much as There are two or three cavalry, so their number is not very large. At the beginning, they all lost one-tenth of the battle damage, and now it is only one-thirtieth. That is still facing some comparisons. In a big city, nothing will happen to such a small place like Tianmenguan. In fact, if you continue to bombard with giant cannons, you probably don’t need them to go up. It’s just to save time. Besides, The ammunition is not too much. After all, after passing here, it will be the capital of the Southern Empire. It is a bigger city than Tianguang City, and the defense here is much stronger than that of Tianguang City. Keep more A few shells are necessary over there.

The giant cannon once again let out its own roar, and the 203 cannons were just like a joke when dealing with the city walls of such a small city. After a while, the city walls were already blown to pieces, and immediately the troops of Cao's Commercial Bank began to attack. They rushed towards the city wall in three ways. The Southern Emperor army on the city wall saw the army of Cao's firm approaching, and they all knew that it was the last time. They had to hold on, or the Tianmen The pass is theirs. They have been blown up by cannons now, and there is no east, west, north or south. One by one, they feel scared when they look at everything in front of them. How many people can fight? Besides, the shelling just now has already It made them lose their will to fight. Looking at their chief again, more than half of them are already dead. The main attack method of the soldiers on the city wall is archery, but if they don’t form a team, there is no big difference Injurious, besides, now the city walls are full of some construction waste generated by the explosion. If you are not careful, you may trip over yourself. This will delay their supply level. There is nothing they can do about such things , But this is also an opportunity for them, isn't it, how many people from the Cao's firm came, when they raised their heads, the shock came, there were black soldiers everywhere, although there were tens of millions of troops behind them . But there can be at most 300,000 troops on the city wall for defense. Besides, they can't have any support. It is not so easy to quickly come up to support, the officers below all bring their own soldiers to catch up with those people with knives and guns. I was not very satisfied at first, seeing the soldiers of the Cao's Commercial Company in front of me, they would be damned if they could use their abilities, not to mention the recruits, they are useless meat, just some veterans, seeing the soldiers in front of them This situation is also dumbfounded, how can there be so many soldiers? In the past, I have never seen the people of Cao's House use crowd tactics. What's going on? Could it be that their soldiers have increased a lot recently? For whatever reason. They also started to draw their bows and arrows at this moment, ready to attack, and when they took aim, they suddenly felt that they were flying. The thing that exploded was not the artillery of the Cao's House of Commerce. From this place, the artillery positions of the Cao's House of Commerce could be seen. Those people have already started to rest, and if they shoot, we won't be able to come out. They must be looking for a place to hide. What's going on? It seems that the inside of the city wall exploded. The violent explosion made many soldiers unable to stand still, and some even fell directly from the city wall. Suddenly, there were three places on the city wall that were originally OK. It collapsed. It used to be tens of meters high. Now it is only a few meters away, and climbing is also very easy. At this time, some people wearing strange clothes appeared from the collapsed place. They are the blasting troops of Cao's House. They have already collapsed The walls are gone. This place is really different from those big cities. If you want to hit the walls of big cities, you need at least a few blasts to reach this level, but here, you only need one blast, and you will rush up soon. The soldiers began to cover them, and the serial crossbows fired vigorously at the soldiers above. As long as there were exposed parts, several crossbow arrows shot at them immediately. It can only be fired once at a time, and then you have to go to the side to prepare for a minute, but the crossbow arrows of Cao's House can be fired continuously, thirty rounds, what kind of concept is this, and the impact of others is also They are stronger than their own, and the military ones are completely different from the exported ones. At the beginning, many people in the Southern Empire happily accepted these serial crossbows, thinking that after they had such things Even if we encounter the army of Cao's Commercial Bank in the future, we will definitely have the strength to fight, but now it seems that this matter is not that simple. The people of Cao's Commercial Bank are much better than us in using these things. There is still a big gap between us and them, and their grenade launchers are also very powerful. Often when there is something blocking the front, these people do not rush directly, but stop Let the soldiers on your side use that strange thing to fight hard for a while.

This is also the usual style of the people in Cao's House. Their superiors told them that when they have enough ammunition, they must never use their lives to make fun of it. Such a thing is impossible. If you want to, don’t come to the army of Cao’s House. When encountering obstacles, the first thing you think of is to use some heavy weapons around you to smash the obstacles in front of you. If you have mountain cannons, you can Use a mountain cannon, or use a large-caliber mortar if you don’t have one. If you don’t have a mortar, it’s a grenade. If you don’t even have this thing, you will always have grenades on your body. Everyone will have these things , everyone has a lot of them, after consuming these things, if there are hidden enemies in front of you, you just go to the side immediately, find a safe place and give it to your comrades , Only when it is determined that there is no danger will it go up, which is also required by the army of Cao's House.

At the beginning, many generals felt unbelievable about these things. In their opinion, how could there be undead on the battlefield, but the officers who came down from above also told them that dead people are always a bad thing, especially It's a veteran on the battlefield. I don't know how long it will take for a new soldier to become a veteran. Because of this, the people in the Cao's firm have told their soldiers that ammunition worth tens of thousands of silver It doesn't matter, as long as you have nothing to do, the explosion on the city wall is much more serious than before. The 203 heavy artillery just now can only be said to be shooting without a target, even if there is any target In other words, it can only be said that it was aimed at a far away place. No matter how you say it, it is not very good. Now it is different. Throwing a grenade is only within a hundred meters. Throwing it casually will be tender This one killed a lot of people, and the people above were going crazy. The soldiers in Tianmenguan kept going up the city wall and then turned into corpses and threw them down. I don’t know how many times this kind of thing has been repeated, but They can also see that Tianmen Pass may not be theirs within half an hour, because the army of Cao's House has already begun to climb towards the city wall. If the army of other empires is like this, it will be them at this time It’s time for the biggest loss. It’s a pity that the troops in front of me are not troops from other empires at all. They are all troops from the Cao Family Firm. It's not that simple, everything is suffering now, everyone can see clearly, now they are all beaten up and can't find North, and no one will stand up, because this is a terrible thing , took the lead, and immediately a dozen grenades greeted him, and there was nothing wrong with his mind. (To be continued..)
