Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The navy of the Cao Family Trading Company are all very smart people. Naturally, they will not do such stupid things. Even if they are 10 meters closer to you, you will pose a greater threat to us. We are not capable of such things.  We won't do it. For this reason, we will start attacking you when our artillery is at its maximum range. In fact, if we follow the range completely, it may be farther, but because it is so far away, it is basically  The observation target is about to be lost on the ground. This is really too difficult for the gunners of the Cao Family Trading Company. They don’t know things dozens of kilometers away. If they were on the earth, this matter might not exist.  That’s a problem. After all, there are many observation tools on the earth, but everything on this planet depends on your own eyes. If your eyes can’t work, then this job may not be suitable for you.  Well, the first round of bombardment was just for measurement. The navy of the Western Empire was crying and running back at this time. They didn't care what it meant. They had seen too many such things.  , In the past, the people of Cao's Trading Company were like this. After they get rid of their side, the next round of shells will hit our own heads. Such things are also very scary for us.  , they don’t want to let themselves feed the fish. You must know that they all have some beliefs. Many people have also said that if they die and cannot be buried in peace, they will become pigs and dogs in their next life.  How could a person be willing to be like that? You should have known all this when you entered the water.  Run now?  It may be a little late, they won't let you go.

    "Adjust the shooting angle, raise it two degrees, adjust the brightness." Such a voice came from the observation position, and the gunners below were quickly correcting their shooting points one by one. This angle is for the entire battleship.  That said, there are still some minor issues with regard to one's own artillery position, and it is up to them to do this. But fortunately, if there are four people in one gun position, there can still be one person who can calculate this thing specifically.  .  They quickly calculated their shooting points.  Because firing at sea is different from that on land. The enemy will definitely move when firing on land, but one thing is different from here, that is, you will not move.  But that's not the case at sea.  Everything needs to be calculated.  Just like now, not only do you have to adjust the shooting elements that you were told above to your body, you also need to consider the sailing speed of the ship.  Although the speed of the fleet will be slower when attacking, it will have some impact, but this is nothing to skilled gunners, because they are very good at calculating this matter  Yes, many people also understand the matter in front of them very well. For them, they will do well in the matter in front of them. The next round will be the end of the Western Empire Navy. The Western Empire Navy does not have any  It was time to fight. When the admiral of the navy saw these guys running back one by one on the shore, he felt ashamed. Damn it, how could he have promised Prince Ding that this time the navy would definitely be  No problem. I really didn't expect that these bastards were so disrespectful to me and were running back before they even started fighting.

    In fact, the construction of the navy is definitely not that simple. Warships are just one aspect. The quality of the sailors is also very important. If there were no navy of the Cao Family Trading Company, if the navies of the four empires were to be ranked in the same ranking, the Eastern Empire would  The people will definitely be at the front, because those sailors used to live on the sea, but they used to be on merchant ships. The second place should be the people from the Southern Empire. The shipping of the Southern Empire  Although it is not very developed, its inland river shipping and other things are pretty good. People who eat on the water will have some places that are connected. This is not that difficult for them. The biggest difficulty is  It’s the people from the Western Empire and the Northern Empire. People from these two empires really don’t know what to say about them. People from these two empires have never wandered on the sea at all. As for inland shipping, there are not many people.  The water is an unfamiliar place for them. It is normal for their navy to perform like this. The army has its own history, so they will have more or less honor.  Honestly, even if they knew that they were going to die, they would go there. After all, this matter is related to their own honor, and it may also be related to the honor of their family, but the navy is completely different.  It can be said that people in the navy are everywhere. In the past, they were just ordinary people. They did not have any naval aristocrats at all, and they did not care about the so-called honor. The empire only had two taels of silver from them a month.  The salary is enough for me to eat and drink, evenIf you can't control the people in your own family, why are you working so hard?

    "Admiral of the Navy" is a good name, but this admiral is not even as good as the commander-in-chief of a province. Why is this?  Isn’t it because you are all naval forces? The navy has spent a lot of money. Look at your fleets and so on. They are all very well prepared. But you can just compete for the empire’s face.  Who knew you didn't have such ability at all? You people didn't get anything in the end, and finally let people drive you back. Even if you all die in batches, at least you can save us.  We have all seen that the people in your navy are bloody, right?  But what have you done? This fucking army has never lost face like that. This face was given to you by others, and you made it yourself. If you want others to respect you, you must first see what you do.  What are they all about? When you were on the sea, you ran away probably because you were not familiar with the sea, but here you are in an inland river. These people are basically the common people around the capital. You don’t even have your own home.  None of them are relevant.  What else can I expect you to do in the future? When Prince Ding discussed the master of military intelligence, there was no place for the naval admiral to sit. In fact, if it weren't for the good looks, Prince Ding wouldn't even want to let this guy pass. Among the soldiers,  It is indeed very uncomfortable to have such a thing, but in the current military situation, if there is no navy, it will really be impossible to do anything. It is for this reason that the navy admiral is not taken seriously by people. All of a sudden  The engagement prince's face must have become even more ugly.  The Navy Admiral was so angry with these guys.  In fact, he didn't even think about it. If he was on the boat, he might run back, and he was also afraid.

    No matter what the Navy people think.  One thing is certain.  That means it's impossible for them to run away now.  The second batch of cannonballs had already arrived, and the first one came from the ship at the front. The twelve cannonballs were the main hits on the three ships of the Western Empire Navy.  In the end, four of the twelve artillery shells hit. The first one hit the bow of a Western Empire Navy warship and penetrated directly from above. This shell directly went down and broke two  deck, and finally exploded near the waterline. Good guy, if you look at it from a distance, you can see that there seems to be too much gas in the ship, and it has become fat. The final result is wood chips and the like.  Flying everywhere, there was nothing left of the ship at the end. The second cannonball hit the mast of a ship. I don’t know how this cannon fired. It actually destroyed the mast with one shot.  It was interrupted, and the mast fell down immediately, because the ships on both sides were too close, and the mast also damaged a nearby ship. This seems to have other special gains, the one who fired the gun  People probably didn’t expect this result. In their opinion, it would be enough if they could destroy a ship. The third and fourth shots hit both the same ship, and they were all on the deck.  It exploded directly, and the superstructure was basically gone. At most, one-third of the people on the ship could survive. It still depends on their luck. When it exploded just now, from this side  You can see all the dozen or so people on the boat flying into the sky. If you are lucky, you will probably survive if you fall into the water, but if you fall on the deck, you will definitely be killed by the fall.

    The navy of the Cao Family Trading Company has seen the world. The second round of bombardment killed a total of 54 of their warships, severely damaging 12 ships and lightly damaging 18 ships. Originally, this was considered a victory, but in the eyes of these people  , such a victory is simply insignificant, and there is no intention to celebrate at all. These guys continue to lower their heads and do their own things, and they must complete this base. Generally speaking, there are no shells at sea to adjust the coordinates.  , because this is in the river, so it becomes three shells. Now they have no time to worry about whether they have hit others. What they have to do now is to quickly take out the remaining two shells.  Fight them out. Since you were able to hit the enemy from this position just now, it is probably no problem now. Even hitting those severely damaged ships is very good. After all, if they are all dragged back, maybe  It may get better after a while of maintenance. We must not let such a thing happen. Now we have to kill all the effective forces that can kill the Western Empire. This will also put pressure on the Western Empire. Otherwise,  , they will never feel the pressure in the future. Maybe the war will really continue. The people of Cao's Commercial Bank definitely don't want such a thing to happen. What they want is a quick resolution. After all, there are too many things now.  Yes, the officers and soldiers of the navy also knew what their boss was thinking. They quickly adjusted their gun positions and continued to attack. If one day when they first arrived, they would still have to worry about the giant crossbows and magic of the Western Empire.  It's crazy, but basically you don't need to worry about these things today. In fact, these things??There is no one here. Even if there is, it will be killed in the first argument and there will be no delay.

    "Oh, these damn bastards, I really didn't expect these people in the navy to be so useless. I must report it to the Lord after I go back. This navy can't do this in the future. I spent half of the treasury and now it's  There is nothing left, is there only a little bit of wood left?" Prince Ding was very sad to see the navy's fiasco. The economy of the Western Empire has never been very good, and the navy's military expenditures are hundreds of billions.  , In order to get the money, His Majesty the Emperor was very depressed.  I didn't have to worry too much, and even put some of my favorite gadgets up for auction, and then I got the navy's military expenditure. I really didn't expect that hundreds of warships would be gone. According to the price,  If you calculate it, this is more than a billion dollars. A lot of money is wasted on training the people above. Now if you know that they are what they are now, training them is a waste. Just let these people  Just die assholes.  So much food in the empire was wasted.  In the end, we didn't even hit the navy of Cao's Trading Company. Let's not talk about the gap with others. Let's just say that everyone feels embarrassed by your way of doing things. Although many people in this tent are from the army.  But in the past, they all managed the navy.  He didn't even speak at the moment.  They came up with the idea of ??vigorously building the navy at the beginning, not for anything else but because they could make a little more money in the process.  If there were no such benefits, none of them would probably do it. You must know that naval construction is a huge benefit. As long as you are not a fool, you can get a lot of benefits from this.  , everyone understands this matter very well.

    "Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about this matter. Even if the people in the navy are useless, aren't we letting the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company allocate a lot of troops now? What we need to do now is to fight on land.  Things, you see, more than 20,000 people from Cao's Trading Company have advanced about 4,000 meters. It seems that they have no intention of stopping. We should have a way. What if  If there is no other way, our last days will be miserable. They continue to advance to a distance of 1,500 meters. I estimate that their artillery will pose a threat to our city wall. Although we repair the city wall very quickly,  But for our sacred city, this is a stain no matter what, it is better not to have this thing, otherwise if His Majesty the Emperor smells it, we will not be able to explain it." A general next to him hurriedly said  Said, Prince Ding glanced at this guy. At the beginning, this guy was clamoring to form a navy. This guy's family has a shipyard. He has indeed taken on a lot of work with his ability. He is sure  I didn't want to eat less of the profits. Seeing that I was going to investigate this matter, I quickly said another thing that made me anxious, hoping to divert my attention. This guy can be said to have done a very good job.  It's not bad. If it were anyone else, I might really enter the palace right away, but what this guy is talking about is serious business. The relationship between the people in the navy and these businessmen is certainly very annoying, but now  It's not time to pursue this matter. Didn't you see that the enemy is coming up? Solving this is the most important thing.

    Seeing Prince Ding looking at him with a not-so-good look, this guy immediately understood what was going on. Prince Ding must have thought that he had eaten a lot in the middle. In fact, they all understood that the navy must be  It needs to be established. Besides, even if you don’t take the money, others will definitely take it. The biggest money from the establishment of this navy to the present is not in your own hands, but in the hands of the emperor and his father-in-law.  In the country, the emperor owns some of the largest shipyards in the empire. Everyone knows that this industry in the Western Empire started very fast. In the past, it could only manufacture some things for inland shipping.  Such a big ship is simply impossible. Only a few big nobles have kept some such things in their homes, but it is absolutely impossible for these people to come up with the technology, so the empire can only honestly go to them.  Just go buy the finished product. Frankly speaking, I have made a lot of money, but we were not independent eaters at the beginning. Didn’t your betrothed prince also accept my 5 million taels of silver notes? Think of this guy here  There is no longer such fear in my heart. Anyway, this matter is not my fault. If the empire is not satisfied with this matter, then just investigate it carefully. In the end, I believe everyone will understand what is going on. Maybe it will happen.  At that time, everyone stopped talking about this matter, and everyone was not a fool. Prince Ding seemed to have thought of this issue, and he did not continue to talk about it. In fact, he was a prince of an empire, and he also  Belonging to the kind of powerful prince, his share isIf someone dares to get along with you, you must keep it for this guy. No one will eat him stupidly.

    "Command the army. Prepare for the next attack. This time we have also changed our strategy. We will no longer attack. Just hold this line for me. Let them all listen to me. No one is allowed to take a step back. As long as  If anyone dares to retreat, I will kill them all. Everyone in the family will be dragged to the slave camp, as long as they died fighting for the empire. Everything in the empire will be under your control. Up to your eighty-year-old mother  , down to your five-year-old child, and also have the archers ready. Our bows and arrows are not as fast as theirs. But we have more people. I don’t believe that their people are all made of stone. Even their bows and arrows  Don't be afraid. There will never be such people. Even for them, it is impossible. As long as their casualty numbers go up, they will not attack. They are different from us, Mulun  Although that idiot, the General, did a huge stupid thing, we all basically understand that the people of the Cao Family Trading Company cannot bear such a big loss. As long as there is such a big loss, they will definitely not  If they die in battle, they will choose to surrender. This is what our empire wants." Prince Ding said with a sneer. I don't know whether this sneer was directed at the people of the Cao family business or the general who just spoke.  Anyway, everyone felt the coldness on the prince's body, but they didn't have any intention to speak. Now it is different from the past. It can be said that the tactical purpose of the Western Empire is constantly changing, just like  It’s the same now, but it’s changed again. At first, it was not letting them land directly, but it quickly changed to killing them, but now it’s changed to not letting them cross this line. I really don’t know what will happen next.  What is it.

    The soldiers below heard that there was no need to charge. It can be said that all of them were very happy. The current situation was a dead end for them. Their people were charging, and the people of Cao's Trading Company were also charging.  , both sides are attacking. At this time, the people of the Cao Family Trading Company will take a big advantage, because their weapons and other things are much better than ours, but it is different now. We only need the defense.  , just defend on the line drawn by Prince Ding. Anyway, we have plenty of people. As long as the people above are dead, we will just go up. There are a large number of archers from the Western Empire behind the position. They  All you have to do is to throw bows and arrows, plus a large number of crossbows and catapults, this is no problem. The casualties of the Cao Family Trading Company may be greater later, and the battle transition may have been very slow before.  thing, but today the cavalry of the Western Empire heard that they did not need to ride fast horses to die, so they all ran back quickly. They are not all fools. They all understand such things, so hurry up  What they have to do is to run back. If they continue to rush forward, they may not even have the chance to come back. They remember everything just now very clearly. Just look at the people in front and you will know what happened.  Come on, those people's bodies are not very whole. Some people don't even have a head left, and their whole body is a pile of waste meat. If you want to connect them all, this is probably the one.  Even the most patient people in the world couldn't do it. When they saw the Cao Family Trading Company's troops advancing, they thought the order would definitely let them continue to die. Unexpectedly, they were told to retreat. If they didn't run away quickly, they would wait.  die?  Will not.

    The heavy infantry went up once during the previous charge, and their ending was very tragic. During the attacks of the Cao Family Trading Company's serial crossbows and artillery, they were a group of living targets. It can be said that 300,000 people were killed.  The heavy infantry had no effect at all, but it allowed the recruits of Cao's Trading Company to practice their skills. In the end, these guys left very depressed one by one, but they were also very happy.  Those who understand this matter finally understand that sometimes things can't end just because they think about it, and they don't have the courage to think about it anymore. The main reason is that they don't have the brains. Now they are being dragged into it again. Many people are  They almost wanted to be deserters. Their speed was already very slow. Under the attack of the Cao Family Trading Company, their speed was even slower. Such things made them feel very uncomfortable. They didn't want to be the ones on the battlefield.  It's cumbersome. They all want to show their usefulness, but they can't die. In fact, they are very embarrassed in their hearts. They all feel uncomfortable. Now they finally have this opportunity.  , in fact, the biggest role of heavy infantry is not to defend the position. They have to attack together with the opponent's heavy infantry.  But it is obvious that they have no chance for such a thing. The main consideration for them to defend now is that their "skin" is thicker. If it weren't for this reason, they probably wouldn't use theirs. They know their own  Responsibilities will come up later, and you can't do that in the army anyway.They were doing nothing as before. The cavalry should also take a rest for a while. After all, they were already tired and suffered so many casualties.

    The Cao Family Trading Company's army also changed their fighting style. Li Cong had already seen the changes in the Western Empire first, if he had followed the original method.  It is estimated that his army will suffer heavy casualties.  Even if your own army's attack speed is relatively slow, there will still be a certain amount of close combat at this speed. If the enemy is just there and doesn't move at all, what should you do?  Is it just a close fight with them?  Although people from the Cao Family Trading Company have already issued hand crossbows.  But they are still not very good at things like close combat.  It would be better for them to stay away from such things.  Now they look at it one by one and it is not very serious. They see that reinforcements have come behind them, which is the mortar unit.  Li Cong gathered about 400 mortars and came over. Although there were some changes, in the end it would still be the same as before. They all knew very well that a fierce battle later would definitely be inevitable.  , they will all be injured. It has been a long time since the beginning of the attack, but their deaths are not even 10%. The next thing will definitely not be changed now. Many people have seen what is ahead.  The black mass was nothing else, it was the heavy infantry of the Western Empire. The serial crossbows could penetrate their armor and kill them all, but there were also a large number of archers behind them.  People don't just stand there and watch the scenery. These people will definitely line up in neat lines and shoot arrows at the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. The Cao Family Trading Company's attack power is very strong, but their defense power is not that good.  Their military uniforms cannot withstand the enemy's bows and arrows, especially those from high altitudes.

    Li Cong also knew that now was the beginning of the war. At this time, both sides would suffer large-scale casualties, especially the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. There were no such casualties in the past. Li Cong immediately asked the four people behind him to do so.  The army of the regiment went up. He knew that the four regiments in front could not hold on for too long. If they could not hold on and came down like that, he would be very embarrassed, and it would also be a big blow to the people of the Western Empire.  Confident, I don’t want to see such a thing. I have already worked hard to achieve this point. I must not let the people of the Western Empire win so easily. I must not do such a thing.  Yes, the mortars have been transported up in the shortest time. They will definitely bring huge casualties to the archers of the Western Empire, but he also knows that the old guy Prince Ding will definitely not let the Western Empire.  If the archer team collapsed, they would definitely have a large number of reserve troops. This is also the most depressing thing for the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. In terms of casualties, the current Cao Family Trading Company is really no match for them, mainly because  This place is too far away from the base camp of Cao's Trading Company. You can bring ammunition and other things with you, but these people can't bring them with you. Another problem is that they can't be transported back after being injured.  There is a problem. They are already far away from the beachhead. At this time, Li Cong definitely did not choose to retreat. He let all his people go up. It seems that he has to accept this. There must be tens of thousands of casualties today.  Yes, but there must be results. This line of defense of the Western Empire must be defeated. There will be a more powerful attack next, and it cannot be stopped.

    The airship in the sky has already flown over, and they have also received orders to carry out bombing with all their strength. In fact, it is still very difficult for the airship to resupply at this time. The bombs Li Cong put on the airship are basically  They were all gone, and the beachhead was too small to allow the huge airships to land, so we could only ask them to go to the ships to resupply. Each ship would resupply a little, and then fly over.  The reason why Li Cong wants to expand his land area is to have these dozens of huge airships carry bombs there. This will be a huge trouble for the people of the Western Empire, not like it is now, but  Wandering around in the sky.  There is nothing they can do. People in the Western Empire are already used to airships flying over their heads, but nothing comes down because there is nothing above them. Want to continue dropping bombs?  It's better to go home and dream. Nothing good will happen. You all understand that. Although expanding the beachhead may not necessarily win the war, Li Cong himself must know it.  , the expansion of the beachhead will allow the airship to obtain large-scale supplies.  This will put a huge pressure on the entire capital city of the Western Empire.  He must do such a thing. Li Cong had already boarded the lookout point. He saw that the Cao Family Trading Company's army had begun to attack the defensive positions of the Western Empire. The densely packed bows and arrows in the sky were also coming over.  .  The infantrymen who passed behind were all carryingThe big shield passed by.  They all stared at the shields hoping to protect them from the bows and arrows.  But they are not omnipotent. If the team is mobile, they will have air attacks.  There will be dead people.

    At this time, the Western Empire finally found a sense of fighting. The people of the Cao Family Trading Company were also made of flesh, not iron. I saw that their bows and arrows also achieved good results, because the terrain here is relatively high.  , so they are very advantageous in the next attack. Just like now, their 50,000-strong archer attack caused 2,000 casualties to the Cao Family Trading Company in the first wave. This still has a shield.  Because of the reason, if there were no shields, it is estimated that there would be at least tens of thousands of casualties. However, the people from the Cao Family Trading Company will definitely not let you hit us like that. We all have our own methods.  The Cao Family Trading Company's mortars were firing hard. If the barrels turned red, they would be thrown aside. The four hundred mortars caused orange-red mushrooms to bloom one after another on the opposite position. 50,000 archers  After killing more than 8,500 people from the Cao Family Trading Company, they were all defeated. The Cao Family Trading Company could also take this opportunity to advance about 150 meters, but at this moment, another phalanx of archers came.  , they quickly repeated everything they just said, without even looking at the corpses at their feet, because they all knew very well that after a while they would be basically the same as the people below, and they did not have any fear.  Everyone looks the same as before. They all know what their mission is, but they have already won. Look at what they have done now. They exchanged 50,000 people for 8,500 people from the Cao Family Trading Company.  Such a ratio has never appeared before. In fact, things like artillery use people's fear. If they run around, they will naturally lose any combat effectiveness. But now those people are not very  Running away would not be a good thing. They were all waiting in place. If they died, they would die. At least their family members would be fine. But if they ran away, their family members might  Those who were imprisoned could understand such things. Seeing these brave soldiers of the Western Empire who were not afraid of death, Li Cong also felt that things might not be so easy in the future. None of these guys were simple.  Very soon, it seemed that I was going to face a very tough battle.

    The first wave of people who participated in the attack had already suffered losses of more than 50%. None of these people understood why the people of the Western Empire suddenly became so powerful?  If they were bombarded by such artillery in the past, they would probably have gone somewhere long ago, but now they don't even have the intention to leave, and each one of them is still where they are doing themselves.  Regarding the matter, the heavy infantrymen in front were all as if they had been given blood. They knew that this was the day they felt proud and proud. They finally saw the bows and arrows raining like rain. The Cao Family Trading Company  People also fell down in pieces. What the prince said was indeed correct. Some things should be dealt with like this. Aren’t you people from the Cao Family Trading Company awesome? Why are you of no use at this time?  Aren’t they going to end like this one by one?  In the past, they all knew that war was about going up to die. No one would do such a war, but it was different today. The enemy suffered casualties, and there was not much gap between them and people like themselves.  , at most it is only seven times. In the past, it was more than ten times. Sometimes it was at least ten times, and sometimes it might be more than twenty-five times. They also did this kind of thing.  They understand, but sometimes they don't quite understand. When they see all this, their eyes are full of fighting spirit. After all, they are all soldiers, how can they not be bloody? When they see that they are about to win, they all  They have such a vision, and each one of them looks like a wild beast.

    It's bad, it's bad, Li Cong said in his heart. The last thing he wanted to see was this kind of thing. The army of the Western Empire became more and more willing to fight. If it continued, his side might suffer losses.  It is impossible to gain anything with heavy losses, but if he withdraws his troops at this time, he may gain defeat, and the soldiers will not have such a strong fighting spirit in the future. Li Cong needs to do something at this time, although he said that  The casualties in the offensive will be very large, but the result is that the large army can become like a backbone. This kind of thing makes each of them feel that their army is very powerful. Although the Cao family used to  The merchant bank's army is already very powerful, but they have never fought such a battle. At this time, Li Cong thought of this and stood at the highest point and said loudly, "Soldiers, the enemy in front of you is going to stop you."  , do they have such ability? Whether it is the Eastern Empire, the Southern Empire, or the Western Empire in front of us, I can tell you that you are not our opponent.??Our Cao Family Trading Company's army was born to write history. Now it's time for us to change history. I order that all the 11.12th Division be pressed. Our army is an army of steel. We must let the Western Empire's  Everyone can see clearly that we are not powerful when we face the weak, but we are strong when we face the strong. This is the army of our Cao Family Trading Company.  "Li Cong's voice quickly spread across the entire battlefield. The people in front became more willing to fight after hearing it, and the soldiers behind couldn't wait to rush forward. (To be continued)
