"The distance between here and the cavalry is at least about 2,000 meters. How can you see so clearly? The places behind are even further away. What is going on? Oh my God, even Some of the equipment on their bodies can be seen so clearly. The adaptation of such a thing to the battlefield is really huge. In this way, if all your scouts carry this thing, they can at least detect you half the time before the enemy. For an hour." Linghu himself thought that he had seen the world, but until now, the things Li Cong took out made him scream without grace several times. I really don't know how much more this guy has. Wonderful things to take a good look at.
"Haha, you are wrong. I knew it in two hours, because you are at this distance now, and there is my reconnaissance airship hundreds of meters above you. I can't let them just wander in the sky. They still have a lot of things to do, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of my money in the sky?" Li Cong pointed to the top of his head and said, Damn, people knew about the war two hours ago. The intention was already prepared. It was ridiculous that these guys from the Eastern Empire came to attack one by one. Linghu looked at the people from the Eastern Empire over there with some sympathy. They seemed to be lambs waiting to be killed. No matter what, He said that he was also a member of the Eastern Empire, but he felt uncomfortable with such an approach.
"Haha, don't use that expression. As far as I know, you don't have your own team in the Eastern Empire, so it's better to do this. These people are also experienced on the battlefield. If you don't mind, these prisoners of war are all But it's all yours. After you go back, you will definitely be able to brainwash these guys. You won't tell me that you can't deal with them, right?" Li Cong gave a big gift, which was also a very good gift. Yes, Linghu is still young. Although his status is not low, he really doesn't have a team of his own. The dissatisfaction just now disappeared because of Li Cong's words. What he was thinking about now was how many prisoners of war Li Cong could give him. Everyone wants to have their own military power.
"It's indeed very good, but you asked me to take these people back to fight the civil war, so I won't thank you. This person is of secondary importance. If this young master can raise his voice in the Eastern Empire, there is no way he can do it. I have tens of millions of troops to respond, but these people are of no use. What they need are powerful weapons. I wonder if you can give me some of the weapons you have here. It doesn¡¯t matter if I pay for them." The boy rolled his eyes and said, Li Cong knew that this boy would definitely pay such attention, but these serial crossbows were not enough for his own use, so how could they be handed over to him.
It is completely different now from the past. Li is never afraid of selling the current serial crossbow, mainly because the springs on it have their own service life. In terms of the technology on this planet, It is absolutely impossible to make it. If you sell this thing by yourself, it is completely possible to control the quantity and scale. But now I also need a lot. I can't agree to this kid for the time being, but I can't hurt this little guy. Positivity is not.
"You have also seen these weapons. Each of them is a big killer on the battlefield. It can be said that if you are on defense, two serial crossbows can kill more than a dozen people, whether they are cavalry or infantry. If your formation is crowded If it's a little bit, the number of people may be even greater, and more people will die. I'm not going to sell this thing, but we are not an ordinary relationship. Each one will give you 50,000 taels of silver. But this thing has a service life. Every time it fires 1,000 pieces, one of its parts must be replaced, otherwise the range will be much shorter." Li Cong directly told the lion about this thing. Cost, don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows that this arms trade is hugely profitable, but it is definitely not to the level that Li Cong said. The cost is less than five taels of silver. Now it will cost others 10,000 times the profit. This way Li Cong is the only businessman who can become one. This guy is really not that powerful.
"50,000 taels of silver? What's the matter with this robbery? Even a chariot pulled by three horses is the same price. Do you think this little thing of yours can be more powerful than other people's chariots?" Linghu immediately asked I was dumbfounded. If I could accept this price, I guess I could just get a few thousand back to arm my own bodyguards. Forget the rest, I didn¡¯t have that much money at all. It could easily be thousands. Do you think your money is falling from the sky? This really made him feel like he was being taken advantage of, and Linghu felt extremely depressed for a moment.
"Haha, to be honest, I won't sell this thing to anyone else even if you give me 50,000 taels of silver. You should have seen how powerful this thing is. Of course, you haven't seen the actual effect yet. Wait until you see it. I guess I will just add some more price when I add it.?? will also be very happy. We can see the result soon. "Li Cong said with a smile. He didn't want to bargain with this guy. This kind of thing was not what he should do. Anyway, he just decided on this matter. After a while, he would probably clamor to do business with him. Naturally, Li Cong didn't want to spread the serial crossbow too much, nor did he want to use this thing to do business, but now this guy wants to develop when he goes back, so he can only give it to this guy first, no. It doesn't matter if this kid doesn't want it yet, practice will prove it later.
The invader this time was a cavalry brigade with about 300,000 people. Li Cong and the soldiers on the front line didn't feel anything bad. Their flags were a little different from before, but in Tuo It seems to Ba Yuanye that these people are some cavalry from the Eastern Empire. They are completely the same as those who came before. It is easy for him to kill them. In the past, he relied on those relatively simple fortifications. They can also be solved. Now that their own fortifications are almost completed, they will naturally be less afraid of them.
"Youyou have to be careful. This is not an ordinary army. If I guessed correctly, this general is a member of the royal family of the Eastern Empire. Look at their flag. They are purple flowers, which is unique to the royal army. "Linghu said with some surprise. The imperial royal army is the most elite force in the empire, second only to His Majesty the Emperor's three personal armies. The officers of these armies from top to bottom are either members of the royal family or relatives related to the royal family. . But don¡¯t think that this is the domain of bureaucrats. They will act recklessly inside. This is definitely not the case. Entry here requires an assessment. In fact, this is where the Eastern Empire is different from other empires. That is, the royal members of the Eastern Empire are relatively good. They all know how to be motivated. What the royal members of the other three empires know is how to enjoy, and what they think about is how to gain the entire world. This is what they need. Therefore, they will not relax. For this goal, they will operate directly and fight hard. You can see from their military appearance that they are very elite.
"Haha, after hearing what you said, it is indeed a little different from the previous ones. I saw that their armors have a purple flower on the chest, but this thing is no different from the previous ones, regardless of whether they are No matter how powerful the army or the local army is, they will not be our opponents. Our defense line also needs such elite troops to help us verify. Without them, we may never know that our defenses are under their control. What does it look like in front of such a powerful force? Brother Cao, you are here too. See if the defense line I built for you is still up to standard. The corpses of these guys are my best answer to the question." Tuoba Yuanye smiled Then he said, no matter how powerful these people are in combat, these people can only be powerful on the original battlefield. On this new battlefield, they don't have much ability. They can only be honest cannon fodder. Yes, there may be a difference, that is, it takes one base number of bows and arrows to kill other armies, but it may cost two base numbers of bows and arrows to kill you. This is all possible.
"You are too careless. They are not an ordinary army. They are also cavalry, but their combat capabilities are more than twice as powerful as ordinary local armies. These guys are not simple goods. As far as I know Many people are second-level soldiers inside, but they can only become ordinary soldiers inside. They do not have any privileges. They have been the unit with the fewest casualties and the most results in all previous wars. If they didn't have such a level, they might have left the army long ago." Linghu said seriously, Li Cong had nothing to say about this. Although these guys looked good, under their own tactics, they There is no way it will pass. I don¡¯t know what they were like before, but now they have to become what they are now one by one.
"Send the order, defend on all fronts." Tuoba Yuanye looked back at Linghu and sneered. He was still hostile to Linghu. In any case, this kid was the grandson of the Eastern Empire's military marshal. Who knew Is this guy really willing to come here, or is he just here to spy on the military situation? If he says this now, he is messing with our military morale. If this is the case, I can only feel sorry for you. Let's give it a try. , let¡¯s see who is more powerful, the royal army of the Eastern Empire? In Tuoba Yuanye's mind, the royal army was completely different from Linghu's. In Tuoba Yuanye's mind, the Imperial Army of the Western Empire was just a bunch of worms. Of course, in previous performances, they But they are all the best. His clan would say that those guys are not soldiers at all. They are all actors, very professional actors.
With the expansionAfter Ye Ye's order was issued, all the people working on the position immediately began to retreat towards the rear in an orderly manner, and the large crossbows on the dozens of turrets in front were already ready. They could do it every time Releasing more than thirty crossbow arrows with a range of more than five kilometers, they are about to enter their shooting range. These are at the top of each turret. Their lethality against the enemy is average. Their main purpose is It caused huge psychological pressure on the enemy. The general local army of the Eastern Empire could immediately retreat under their attack. This kind of thing is definitely not a joke. In the past, this thing could kill several people's heads just like a candied haws on a stick. This kind of thing is normal. It is understandable that they are afraid, after all, they have never been exposed to such things in normal times, right?
"Fire" With the order, the crossbows on dozens of turrets immediately started working. More than a thousand large crossbows went out directly, and the sound they made could be heard by people thousands of meters around. , People on Li Cong's side have seen this kind of thing many times. They know what will appear on the opposite position. There were such things in the war before, but other empires can only launch them. A crossbow arrow, but for Li Cong. One crossbow arrow was too few. This technology of yours has been very mature for a long time. An attack in the first second can cause you to lose more than a thousand people. Although this number of casualties is not nothing among hundreds of thousands of people, it is still very good. .
Use this thing at a distance of 5000 meters? Many people in the Eastern Empire's cavalry team began to laugh. Is this a sign of panic? I heard that most of the Cao Family Trading Company's troops must be new arrivals. It is not surprising that there is such a move. Each of them believes that this harassment will definitely be very successful. There were also casualties among the people who came here a few times before. But they think that is the reason why those local armies are useless. They are completely different. They are the most powerful army in the empire. Such a harassment mission is not difficult or suspenseful for them.
But when their sneers were not completed, they were dumbfounded. Tragedy happened. They saw that the other party's large crossbow could fly so far? Are you kidding? How is this possible? The distance here is more than 5,000 meters. Could it be that a senior soldier threw this with his own hands? Impossible, how could there be so many high-level warriors? Although he may be an officer in the army, no officer would do such a thing. If an officer does such a thing, someone will definitely gossip. Such things will not happen in ordinary people's wars.
If someone had counted the first round of attacks, many people would have been shocked. At least more than 1,500 soldiers died and more than 800 people were seriously injured. It can be said that the first attack exceeded 3,000 people. So they lost their combat effectiveness, which is not bad. What is more fatal to them is that some of the crossbows on the turret are already ready for the second battle. How is this possible? In just fifteen seconds, they were ready again? This is absolutely impossible, such a thing is simply illogical, but all of this is true, no one will fake it, no one will feel that it is not true, especially the soldiers of the Eastern Empire, they are already I saw the second wave of crossbow arrows fired. Many of them were sent back to their hometowns by these things. They didn't want to do that.
"Very good, Linghu, they are indeed the elite of your Eastern Empire. If it were the previous local armies, they would have already started to retreat after the two crossbow attacks. Not to mention the formation, they were all in front of them. They will also rush over, but these people are completely different. Look at them, they have no intention of going back at all, and even their queue has not changed. These people are really different from those guys. Same." Tuoba Yuanye said as he looked at the people who continued to rush forward. His expression looked uncomfortable. Li Cong could only pretend that he didn't see it. Are you complimenting them? This is simply nonsense. Can people keep it on their faces? At the beginning, Linghu said that these royal troops were very powerful. Who knew that it would turn out to be like this in the end. They were also passively beaten. Of course, it was the crossbow arrows that shocked him more because they had a long shooting range. They can do such a thing, but it is very expensive. No empire will use millions of beef tendons on this. The most amazing thing is their launch speed, and neither does the Eastern Empire. There is no crossbow, but it is absolutely impossible to do this in a short period of time. The fastest they can do is once every five minutes, but looking at the situation now, they did it too fast, only taking less than ten seconds. .
"Haha, no matter how elite the troops are, they have to look at who is their opponent. If they encounter you, I think they will definitely be in danger. The royal army is involved in something?There are too many. Their ancestors will definitely come to you. I think I know what the emperor of the Eastern Empire means when he calls them here. This guy is afraid that some big families in the country will not support his actions against you, so So these people were sent up. As long as there are casualties among them, the people of those families will definitely take revenge. The scale of the war will definitely not be small by then. It is impossible for your Cao Family Trading Company to have so many troops in a short period of time. You can only He could be beaten passively. "Linghu thought of the Emperor of the Eastern Empire. Although these Huangshi disciples are very precious, at this time they can only be a chess piece of the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, a chess piece that can be discarded at any time. When used, you will be the pride of the empire. , you should disappear on your own when it is no longer useful.
"But now we have no other choice. We can only destroy them all. We are the saddest ones. We know this through you, but now we have no other way, and they also know their Destiny. But they must obey the order and continue to launch." Tuoba Yuanye is also very aware of this matter. Their lives are not important in the political struggle, and no one will consider them.
The current firing frequency of crossbows has basically been fixed, and it is now fired about four times per minute. Even if there are more people alive, there will not be a delay of a few seconds. Every time these crossbow arrows are fired, a large number of the opponent's people will fall down. And because they are getting closer and closer, there are more and more crossbow arrows around that can join the battle group. More and more, their forward positions have been killed too much, and a large number of people are groaning on the ground. They have not yet touched Li Cong's trenches, and they have already lost more than 30,000 people, ten out of ten. One person lost their combat effectiveness in less than a few minutes, which made their leader very unbelievable. They are the royal regiment and the pride of the entire Eastern Empire. How could such a thing happen? Even when the local legions came a few days ago, nothing like this happened. The general who led the team had already died somewhere. I wonder if he would think of those who were ridiculed by him when he fell. His colleagues, he just felt that those local troops had nothing to eat every day, so he came over to help them. The result was that this guy had nothing, including his own life, and he died completely.
"Brothers, charge forward, let our cavalry break through all their defense lines, long live the empire." Someone in front was already approaching Li Cong's defense line, but what made him depressed was that this guy just After shouting these words, the ground in front of him sank directly. This guy took his horses and his people and fell directly. This was Li Cong's trench, specially used to prevent the enemy's cavalry from charging. , they want to come out of it? That is impossible. There are also shooting holes left by Li Cong and his people below. As long as people from the Eastern Empire appear, it will be a burst of random shooting. When they are above, these people may have room for resistance. Yes, but at this moment down below, their vision will be affected. How could it cause any consequences? Each one can only kill themselves by looking at the bows and arrows coming out of the shooting holes, so that the death they can see is their own. The saddest thing in this life.
Generally speaking, the cavalry at the front belong to the captains of each squad. Li Cong's trench, which is 1,500 meters long and 30 meters wide, can only let these guys fall into it one by one. There will be no consequences. They just Maybe they would honestly treat it like cannon fodder inside. Although the people behind knew there was a trap ahead, most of them still couldn't control their horses and still had to go in together. They fantasized about what was ahead. The dead brothers can kill this trench, but it is obvious that they do not have such ability, because it is very deep below. In addition to the secret passages below, there are people from Li Cong inside. They will Constantly using hooks and the like to pull the bodies of people or horses over, and then waiting for new people to fall from the top. This was also one of the reasons for the serious casualties among the Eastern Empire soldiers.
The remaining 270,000 people paid the price of more than 40,000 people directly here, and then they rushed over from above, stepping on the corpses of their own people, but what was in front of them was another hell, and in front of it was actually Something I have never seen before, this is the barbed wire fence arranged by Li Cong. Many cavalrymen did not know what this thing was, so they rushed up directly. The result was that these people had their skin torn off. It was really scary. As scary as it is.
The blocking power of the barbed wire fence was very amazing, but what Li Cong saw was different from what Li Cong thought. Li Cong quickly understood what was going on from the tens of thousands of cavalry rushing over. . What exactly is different? These barbed wire fences are not dense enough. No need for Li Cong to say anything more. The Tuoba original leaves over there are also gone.Now he understood what was going on. He also knew very well that the huge effect of these barbed wires was only because he did not apply it very well. The expressions of the two of them did not make Linghu understand at all. Linghu only understood these at this time. What is the purpose of seemingly loose things? They won't let people die here. But it will cause great harm to people. Leaving a terrible impression on people is the most important thing. These scenes may be something that these brave warriors will never forget for the rest of their lives. Only they have seen such things. If they can get out alive in the future. I believe they will not come to the battlefield again.
"Fortunately, this is a small-scale attack. There are only 300,000 people. If the number of people increases ten times, I think our defense line may be in a hurry now. When they cross these wires, there will probably be only 300,000 people left." For the next half, it would be better not to expose our other firepower at that time." Li Cong looked at the guys who had rushed to the 2000-meter position and said, the soldiers can't rest at this time, they have to line up They formed a neat queue, ready to launch a rain of arrows. The rain of arrows is fatal to the infantry, but for these cavalry, these heavy cavalry are not in much danger. The armor on their bodies can definitely make them They resisted the bows and arrows coming from above, but Li Cong's bows and arrows all contained a small amount of gunpowder, which stopped them here.
"It's impossible. They don't deserve to be the most powerful army in the Eastern Empire. The war has just begun. How could they have people running away? Don't they even want the honor of the royal family?" Linghu didn't dare. He said believing it, because he saw dozens of cavalry already starting to retreat towards the back. Such a thing made him a little bit unbelievable. How could anyone do such a thing? If those local troops could still believe it Yes, but these people are not from the local army, they are all famous pillars of the imperial court, and they have retreated?
"Anything that's impossible is actually because we didn't make arrangements. If we could use twice as much wire, they probably wouldn't be able to reach this position. According to my original calculation, if there weren't five people in such a place, It is impossible for them to come here with an army of 100,000. It seems that my calculation is wrong now, but they helped me very well. I can make certain modifications. It is not too late to correct it now. When the time comes, We won't suffer a loss if a large team of people comes. How about it? Our Cao Family Trading Company's serial crossbows haven't started to move yet, and they have made it impossible for us to use them." Tuoba Yuanye didn't have it at the beginning. How can he like this Linghu? As for the royal army that this guy talks about, he is even more disdainful. Isn't it just that his life was better when he was born? What else is there besides these? ? I still don¡¯t believe it, how powerful can you be? Now I can see that it is garbage.
Thirty minutes later, a war was over. It was very good that only 20,000 people could go back out of the 300,000 people. Moreover, each of these 20,000 people were like frightened birds. Li Cong did not send any troops at all. What I mean by pursuing is that Li Cong's current army is not large enough, and they have suffered tens of thousands of casualties. If they go out, they still don't know how many casualties they will suffer. If it is a real field battle, Li Cong's army is really not theirs. Opponents, but relying on these facilities and so on, they can definitely win. Why should they use their own shortcomings to compete with other people's strengths? This is done by fools.
"The results of the battle are basically out. They should have lost more than 270,000 people, and more than 20,000 people should have gone back. That's good, they will bring back the news from our front line, at least for a month. It's safe." Takuba Yuanye said while looking at the Eastern Empire cavalry running below. What he needs most now is time, but these guys don't give him time one by one. They come here to make trouble if they have nothing to do. For a while, I don¡¯t have that much time to spend with you, so it¡¯s okay to fight directly so that you can¡¯t find the north. This is the best way.
"Well, you still need to take a closer look at the barbed wire fence and trap area. I think some of the facilities there can be improved. The barbed wire fence can be added with more layers. As for the trap, I think you should have more entrances and exits. Only the passage is enough. I used to think that there was no problem with 100,000 people there, but this time I just killed 40,000 people. This can all be done properly." Li Cong and Tuoba Yuanye Said, the two people standing on the top of the turret felt like they were pointing the country. Linghu on the side didn't know what they were talking about, because this new type of war made Linghu feel that he was actually too behind the times. What they said It was all true, not false at all, and he actually told others to pay close attention to the royal army. In fact, whether it is the local army or the royal army. No one will think much of them.
? ?At this time, Hu knew what his future path should be. Although he had determined the alliance policy with Li Cong before, it was just an idea in his heart. The real thing may not be That kind. After this small-scale battle. Linghu knew that no matter what kind of battle it was, he might not be Li Cong's opponent. It would be better for such a person not to become his opponent in his whole life. If he has such an opponent, he may never have a real victory in his life. Only by relying on the strong can you live a better life.
"As for the allocation of that warehouse, it's up to you. I hope to buy a large number of serial crossbows. I will collect the money when I go back." At this time, Linghu finally felt his head drop. He was really the first I bowed to others once, but now it is different from before. That arrogant self is really not needed here.
Looking at Linghu's background, Li Cong couldn't bear it. If this kid hadn't met him, he would have been a good leader. But just because he met him, he had too many things in his heart. He hesitated, and even this guy felt that he was at his end. As long as you treat me as a brother in the future, this world will always have a part of you. This is the promise Li Cong gave him. Such a person If he sincerely works for himself, he will definitely gain much more than if he ruins this person. Li Cong has ruined many such geniuses, but Li Cong is really reluctant to give up on this one in front of him. This kid's talent Li Cong really admired him.
"This incident seems to have dealt a big blow to this kid. Now I will just leave this kid here for the time being. Ordinary people in the military camp will not come in. Just keep a good watch on him. I don't want him to If something unexpected happens, as long as we can inflict pain on the people of the Eastern Empire in our first battle, I guess they won't have so many problems in the future. If we use some of this guy's connections to smooth things over, anything can be done. Well done." Li Cong said as he looked at Linghu's path. Linghu was already feeling very uncomfortable. He had better not try to persuade others at this time.
"Haha, this kid can probably learn a lot here. The Eastern Empire must have been very powerful in this guy's eyes before, but now there is nothing powerful at all. This guy will definitely feel It's been a low point for a while, but it doesn't matter, I will ask this boy to understand your painstaking efforts. Are you planning to go to the capitals of the three empires to have a good talk with their leaders?" After coming out of the Western Empire Tuoba's words no longer sounded like a court official. His tone was more like that of a mountain king, but it was also more casual.
"We need to have a good talk with them. We are one of their guns. Now they use us. If I don't make good terms with them, they will naturally not understand what I do. But I There is another thing I want to discuss with them. On land, I am not as powerful as them, but in the ocean, I rule the world. You have all the land on the mainland, so let me be the boss at sea. At that time, the ocean will reshape the entire world." Li Cong said with a smile, the four empires thought they were a buffer zone between them? It won't be that good. I will definitely surprise you in the future. The Thunder Sect is just a candidate for the Fifth Empire. I really want to build a Fifth Empire other than yours. Li Cong What I think about now is that my fleet will have a good fight when it arrives, and shipping will also start with a bang. My starting point is much higher than yours. Do you want to compete with me? Forget it, you simply don¡¯t have what I have. You will know that by then.
"Yes, what we want now is too little. I just received news from the Investigation Department that our 1,200 divisions have been recruited. Now they are undergoing final training. How much do you want this time? Soldiers?" In Tuoba Yuanye's view, the number of troops can improve one's ability. If we look at other numbers, Li Cong has a lot of them, but Li Cong will definitely not use this. He will definitely have his own planned.
"Haha, the war on the frontline must be expanded. Only in such a war can we have a place to grow. Today's war was immediately spread. Six hundred thousand people on both sides fought for half a day. We lost 200,000 people, and they lost 100,000 people. Ten thousand people, the battle loss ratio will be reported in this way in the future." Li Cong said with a smile, if the bandits were not strong, no one would think of expanding the police station. This was how things were done in the past, and now we have to do it well Take advantage of it.
"Haha, that's for sure. We can't accept this loss ourselves, and the expenses these days are really quite big. In order to rush the work, I have already called in hundreds of millions of people around me."??, their salary is hundreds of millions of silver every day, plus food and drink, the amount is almost the same, so don't feel bad. "Tuoba felt a little distressed when he saw the money, let alone Li Cong, but Li Cong had his own vision and could come back in the future.
"This small amount of money is nothing. What's the matter with you? Let's get this small amount of money back from the Thunder Gate later. I think this defense will continue to be strengthened. Tens of billions of silver are for sure, as well as bows and arrows. , this is the most important thing, we must stock up in large quantities, otherwise we will be very passive when the war starts." Li Cong thought of the arrow rain just now, millions of bows and arrows went out at once Well, this is still a small war. If it were a large-scale war, the number would definitely be much larger. I really wouldn't be able to take care of it when the time comes.
"I have also thought about this issue. Currently, more than 18 million people are helping us make this thing day and night. We can produce 1.2 billion bows and arrows every day. We have already cut down all the bamboo in some mountains around here. But it doesn't matter, there are them everywhere, as long as we have money, there are a lot of these things, but there is not much gunpowder, this thing is really good." He thought of those black things, it was really Very powerful. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
