Chapter 2190:

The navy of Cao’s Commercial Bank are very clever people. Naturally, they will not do such stupid things. Even if they are close to you 10 meters away, your threat to us will be a little bit bigger. We are such things. I won’t do it. For this reason, we will attack you when our artillery is at the maximum range. In fact, if we follow the range completely, it might be farther, but because of that far, it’s basically The observation target is about to be lost. This is really too difficult for the gunners of the Cao’s house. I don’t know anything dozens of kilometers away. If I were on the earth, this matter might not be possible. The problem is, after all, there are many observation tools on the earth, but everything on this planet depends on your own eyes. If your own eyes can’t work, then this job may not be suitable for you. Yes, the first round of shelling was just a measurement. The navy of the Western Empire was crying and running back at this time. They didn’t care what it meant. They saw too many things like this. In the past, the people in Cao’s House of Commercial Bank were like this. After they were done with the wolf, the next round of shells would hit our own heads. Such things are also very scary for us. They don’t want to feed themselves fish. You must know that they also have some beliefs. Many people have also said that if they die and can’t enter the soil for safety, they will become pigs and dogs in the next life. How can a person be willing to be something like that, but you should know all this when you enter the water. Run now? It may be a bit late, they will not let you go.
"Adjust the shooting angle, raise it by two degrees, and make the brightness." This sound was heard from the observation position, and the gunners below were quickly correcting their shooting elements. This angle is for the entire battleship. Having said that, there are still some small areas for his gun position. It's up to people like them to do it themselves, but fortunately, if there are four people in a race, there can still be a person who can calculate this thing, and they will quickly calculate their shooting yuan. Because firing at sea is still different from that on land, the enemy will definitely move when firing on land, but one thing is different from here, that is, you can’t move, but you don’t move like that at sea. It’s up. All things need to be calculated, just like now. Not only do you need to adjust the shooting elements you told yourself above, but you also need to consider the speed of the ship, even though it’s attacking. The speed of the fleet will be slower. But how much will have some impact, but this is nothing for skilled gunners, because they are very proficient in calculating this matter, and many people are very aware of this matter in front of them. For. They will do everything right now. The next round is the end of the Western Empire’s navy. The Western Empire’s navy doesn’t have any meaning to fight at this time. The admiral of the navy is busy seeing these guys on the shore. When I was about to run back, my face would be ashamed to death. Damn, how could I promise Prince Ding. Said that the Navy must be fine this time. I really didn't expect these to be so shameless one by one, they would run back before they even started fighting.
In fact, the construction of the navy is definitely not that simple. The warship is only one aspect. The quality of the sailors is also very important, if there is no navy of the Cao family firm. If the navies of the four empires are to be ranked, the people of the Eastern Empire will definitely be at the forefront, because the sailors used to be people who spent time at sea, but they used to be merchant ships before. The second one should be the people of the Southern Empire. Although the shipping of the Southern Empire was not very developed, other people’s inland waterway and other things are considered good. People who eat on the water will have some connections. This is not so difficult for them. , The biggest difficulty is the people of the Western Empire and the Northern Empire. The people of the two empires really don’t know what to say about them. The people of the two empires have never strolled on the sea. As for the people of the inland waterway It’s not a lot. The water is an unfamiliar place for them. It’s normal for their navy to behave like this. Because the army has its own history, they are more or less. They will all have a sense of honor, even if they know that they are going to die before, they will go up. After all, this matter is related to their own honor, and it may also be related to the honor of their own family, but the Navy is completely different. It’s one thing, the navy people are everywhere. In the past, they were just ordinary people. They didn’t have any naval noblemen at all, and they didn’t care about the so-called honor. Their salary is two taels of silver. This little money is enough to eat and drink. Even the people in their own family can't control it. Why are they so desperate?
The admiral of the navy is a good name to stand up, but this admiral is not even as good as the commander in a province. Why? Isn’t it because you are both naval masters? The navy spent a lot of money. Look at your fleet, but they are all well prepared, but you can fight for the empire. Who knows that you don’t have the ability at all. You guys didn’t get anything in the end. In the end, someone drove you back. Even if you all die, at least it will allow us. You all see that the people in your navy are bloody, right? But what have you done? This army has never lost such a face. This skin is all given by others and you made it yourself. If you want others to respect you, you have to look at what you did. It’s all about it. When you ran away on the sea, it might be because you are not familiar with the sea, but here is in the inland river. Basically, these people belong to the people around the capital. You even have your own home. It’s not relevant. What can I expect from you in the future? When Prince Ding talked about the military affairs master, the navy admiral didn’t have a place to sit. In fact, if it weren’t for good looks, Prince Ding wouldn’t even want this guy to pass. It is indeed very uncomfortable to have such a thing among the soldiers, but if the current military situation is missing the navy, it really can't be done. It was for this reason that the admiral of the navy was not taken seriously by the people. At this time, the prince of Ziding must be even more ugly. The admiral of the navy was to death by these guys. In fact, he didn't want to think that if he was on the boat, he might run back. He was also afraid.
Regardless of what the Navy’s people think, one thing is certain, that is, they can’t run anymore. The second batch of shells has already arrived, and the first one to come is the one that ran in front. The twelve artillery shells that came from the ship were the main targets of the three ships of the Western Empire Navy. Four of the twelve artillery shells finally hit. The first shot hit the bow position of a Western Empire Navy warship. It hit directly from above. The shell went straight down and smashed two decks, and finally exploded near the waterline. , The good guy's words from a distance. It can be seen that there seems to be too much gas in the ship, and it immediately gains weight. The end result is wood chips flying everywhere. At the end of the ship, there is nothing left. The second shell hit What I arrived at was the mast of a ship, and I didn't know how the gun was fired, but it was interrupted by one shot. The mast fell directly because the ships on both sides were too close, and the mast broke a nearby ship. It seems that there are other special gains, and the gunner probably never thought of it. It will be the result of the current situation, in their opinion, if only one ship can be destroyed. Both the third and fourth rounds hit the same ship. All of them were on the deck and exploded. Basically, there was no superstructure or anything else. The people on this ship could survive at most three points. One, it still depends on your luck. When it exploded just now, you could see from here that all a dozen people on the ship flew into the sky. If you are lucky, you might be alive if you fall into the water, but if you fall on the deck, you will definitely be thrown. dead.
The navy of Cao’s Commercial Bank has all seen the world. The second round of shelling killed a total of 54 search ships, severely damaged 12 ships, and slightly injured 18 ships. This was originally a victory, but in the eyes of these people Such a victory is simply trivial, and there is no meaning to celebrate. These guys continue to bow their heads to do their own things and have to finish the base. Generally speaking, no shells are fired at sea to adjust the coordinates. , Because it was in the river, it became three shells. Now they don’t have time to care whether they hit someone or not. What they have to do now is to quickly put the remaining two shells If you can hit the enemy from this position just now, I guess it’s okay now. Even if you hit the heavily damaged ships, it’s very good. After all, if they were all dragged back, maybe It may be better after repairing for a while. It is absolutely not allowed to let such things happen. Now they have to kill as many active powers as they can kill the Western Empire. This is also a pressure on the Western Empire, otherwise. In the future, they will never feel pressure. Maybe the war will continue. The people of Cao’s Commercial Bank absolutely don’t want such a thing to happen. They want a quick resolution. After all, there are too many things now. Yes, the officers and soldiers of the navy also knew their boss’s thoughts. They quickly adjusted their gun positions and continued to attack. If they first arrived, they would still need to worry about the giant crossbow and magic of the Western Empire. It’s a gun, but today there is basically no need to worry about these things. In fact, these things are not here. Even if they are, they are all killed by the first theory and will not be delayed.
"Oh, these bastards, this king really did not expect that these people in the navy are so useless. After returning, they must report to Ming Sheng. The navy can't do this in the future. It has spent half of the treasury's money now. There is nothing left, is there just a little bit of wood left?
Prince Ding was very sad when he watched the navy’s fiasco. The Western Empire’s economy had never been very good, and the navy’s military expenditures came up to hundreds of billions. In order to get the money out, His Majesty the Emperor was not so depressed or worried, and even put out a few good things he likes for auction, and only then did the navy's military expenses come out. I really didn't expect that there would be hundreds of warships missing in one face-to-face. If calculated according to the price, this would be more than one billion dollars. The training of the people above wasted a lot of money. Now if you know that they are just as capable as they are now, and train them a shit, just let these die, wasting so much food in the empire. At the end of the day, we didn’t even hit the navy of the Cao’s commercial firm. Let’s not talk about the gap with them, let’s just say that your way of doing things everyone feels ashamed. Although many people in this tent are the army, they used to At that time, they were all managing the navy, and they didn’t talk anymore. Back then, they thought of building the navy vigorously, not for anything else, just because they could get a little more money in the middle. Without such benefits. It is estimated that they will not be able to do it one by one. 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. Everyone understands this very well. of.
"Master. It's not the time to talk about this. Even if those people in the navy are useless, isn't it because the navy of Cao's house has allocated a lot of troops? What we are doing now is on land. Things, you see, the more than 20,000 people in the Caojia Commercial Bank have advanced about 4,000 meters. From their appearance, it seems that they don’t have any intention to stop. We should have a solution, what if it is If there is no solution, our last days will be sad. They continue to advance for a distance of 1,500 meters. I guess their artillery can pose a threat to our city wall, although we repair the city wall very quickly. But for our sacred city, this is also a stain. It is better not to have this thing, or if the emperor smells it, we are not easy to explain." A general next to him hurriedly Said. Prince Ding glanced at this guy. At the beginning, this guy was clamoring to form a navy. This kid has a shipyard at home. He did take on a lot of work with his ability, and he certainly didn’t. Those who eat less of the profits, see that I have to check this thing, and quickly talked about another thing that made me worry, hoping to divert my attention, this kid can be said to be doing very well Yes, if someone else is really likely to enter the palace immediately, but what this kid said is also serious. The relationship between those in the Navy and these merchants is certainly very annoying, but it is not right now. It's time to investigate this matter. Didn't you see that the enemy is already coming up? Solving this is the most important thing.
Seeing Prince Ding’s look at him was not very good. This guy instantly 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 something. To be established, besides, even if you don’t take this money, others will definitely take it. The biggest money of this navy from its establishment to the present is not in your own hands, but in the hands of the emperor and his father-in-law. Here, the master of the country is in the hands of some of the largest shipyards in the empire. Everyone knows that this industry in the Western Empire started very full. In the past, it could only manufacture some inland shipping. Such a big ship is simply impossible. Only a few big nobles have kept some of these things in the homes, but these people are absolutely impossible to take out the technology, so the empire can only be honest to them. Just go and buy the finished product. Frankly speaking, I make a lot of money, but we didn’t eat alone at the beginning. Didn’t you decide that the prince also accepted my 5 million taels of silver bills? I thought of this guy. There is no such fear in his heart. Anyway, this matter is not his own cause. If the empire is not satisfied with this matter, then just check it carefully. At the end, I believe everyone will understand what is going on, maybe it will happen. At that time, I didn’t talk about this one by one. Everyone was not a fool. Prince Ding seemed to have thought of this issue too, and he did not continue on this issue. In fact, he is a prince of an empire. It belongs to the kind of prince who has the right, but no one dares to take his share, it must be reserved for this guy, no one will eat him stupidly.
"Order the army to prepare for the next offensive. This time we also change our strategy. We are no longer on the offensive. Just keep this line for me. Let them listen to me. No one is allowed to take a step back. If someone dared to retreat. Kill all of them, and everyone in the family will be taken to the slave camp. As long as the empire is killed in battle, the empire will be in charge of you. Up to your eighty-year-old mother , Down to your five-year-old child, and let the archers be ready, our bows and arrows are not as fast as theirs, but we have a lot of people, I don’t believe their people are made of stone, even bows and arrows They are not afraid, such people will not appear at all, even if it is impossible for them, as long as their casualties are up, they will not be attacking. They are different from us, Mulun. Although the idiot of the general did a huge stupid thing, we basically understand that the people of Cao’s house can’t bear such a large loss. As long as there is such a large loss, they must not When the battle is dead, they will choose to surrender. This is what our empire wants.
Prince Ding said with a sneer. I don’t know if this sneer was for the Cao’s merchant or the general who spoke just now. Anyway, everyone felt the cold on the prince's body. It’s just that they don’t have any meaning to speak. It’s not the same as before. The tactical purpose of the Western Empire can be said to be constantly changing. It’s the same as it is now, and it’s changed again. Let them log in directly. But it quickly became to keep them going, but now it becomes impossible to let them cross this line. I really don't know what the next one will be.
The soldiers below heard that there was no need to charge, and it could be said that all of them were very happy, and the current situation was a dead end for them. Their people are charging, and the people of Cao’s house are also charging. Both sides are attacking. At this time, the people of Cao’s house will take a lot of money, because their weapons are much better than ours. , But now it’s different. The defense we need is enough. Just defend on the line drawn by Prince Ding. Anyway, we have people. As long as the person above dies, we will go up. There are a large number of archers from the Western Empire behind the position. All they have to do is to throw bows and arrows. With a large number of crossbows and catapults, this is no problem. The casualties of the Cao’s house may be even greater. Big, it might have been a slow thing before the battle change, but today the cavalry of the Western Empire heard that they don’t have to ride fast horses to send them to death. They ran back quickly, and they were not all. It’s a fool. They all understand things like this. It’s their job to run back quickly. If they continue to rush up, they may not even have the chance to come back. They remember everything just now. Clearly, just look at the people in front of you and you will know what is going on. Those people’s bodies are not very complete. Some people don’t even have a single head left, and there is a pile of waste meat all over their bodies. If you want to connect them all, it is estimated that the most patient people in the world will not be able to do it. They see Cao’s army advancing, thinking that the order will definitely make them continue to die. Unexpectedly, they were told to retreat. Don't run quickly and wait for death? Will not.
The heavy infantry had gone up once in the previous assault. Their ending was very tragic. In the series of crossbow and artillery attacks by Cao's House, they were a group of live targets, which can be said to be 300,000. The role of the heavy infantry went up at all, but the recruits of the Cao’s House of Business practiced their skills. In the end, these guys left very depressed one by one, but they were also very good. When they knew about this matter, they all understood. Sometimes things can't be ended if they want to. They don’t have the guts to think about it, mainly because they don’t have the brain. Now they have been pulled up again. They wanted to be deserters. Their speed was very slow. Under the attack of Cao’s family firm, their speed was even slower. This kind of thing made them feel very uncomfortable. They didn’t want to be on the battlefield. It's cumbersome. They all want to show their usefulness, but they can't go to die. In fact, they are also very embarrassed in their hearts. They are also uncomfortable in their hearts. Now they finally have this opportunity. In fact, the biggest role of the heavy infantry is not to defend the position. They have to attack with the opposing heavy infantry, but obviously they have no chance for such a thing. Now let them defend the main consideration. It's just that their "skins" are thicker. If it weren't for this reason, they wouldn't be used. After they knew their responsibilities, they would go up. Anyway, in the army, it can't be the same as before. If you don't do it, the cavalry should have a rest for a while. After all, people are already tired and injured so much.
Cao’s army also changed their style of play. Li Cong was the first to see the changes in the Western Empire. If he followed the original method, he estimated that his army would suffer heavy casualties. Even if the attack speed of your own army is relatively slow, there will be a certain amount of close combat at this speed. If the enemy is there and does not move at all, what should you do? Is it close to them? Although the Cao’s family members have already issued hand crossbows, they are still not very good at melee combat. They can only stay away from such things. Now they are one by one. It wasn't too serious. They saw that reinforcements had already arrived behind them. This was the mortar unit. Li Cong had gathered about 400 mortars. Although there have been changes in one way or another, in the end it will be the same as before. They all understand very well that the fierce fighting in a while will definitely be unavoidable, and they will all be injured. It’s been a long time since the attack started, but they have not even died 10%. The next thing is definitely not something that can be changed now. Many people have seen the black and heavy in front of it. Among other things, it was the heavy infantry of the Western Empire, and the serial crossbow could penetrate their armor. You can kill them all, but there are also a large number of archers behind them. Those people are not standing there and watching the scenery. These people will definitely line up in a neat line to shoot arrows at the Cao's business. , Cao’s offensive power is very strong, their defense power is not very good. Their military uniforms cannot withstand the enemy's bows and arrows, especially those at high altitude.
Li Cong also knows that it is only now the beginning of the war. At this time, there will be large-scale casualties on both sides, especially those from the Cao's House of Business. There were no such casualties before. Li Cong immediately let the troops of the next four regiments go up. He knew that the first four regiments could not hold on for too long. If they couldn’t hold on, they would come down. He would be embarrassed and would It gives the people of the Western Empire a lot of confidence. I don’t want to see things like this. I have already worked hard to do it at this time. I definitely can’t let the people of the Western Empire win so easily. I definitely can’t do such a thing. The mortars have already been delivered in the shortest time. They will definitely bring huge casualties to the archers of the Western Empire, but he also knows that Prince Ding is an old guy. Certainly it will not let the archer team of the Western Empire collapse. They will definitely have a large number of reserve soldiers. This is also the most depressing thing for the Cao family firm. If you fight for casualties, the current Cao family firm really It’s not their opponents. The main reason is that this place is too far away from the base camp of Cao’s House of Business. Those ammunition and the like can be carried on their own body, but these people can’t bring them on their own. One problem is that transporting them back after injury is also a problem. They are already far from the beachhead position. At this time, Li Cong must not choose to retreat. He let his own people go up. It seems that he has to accept this. Today, there must be tens of thousands of casualties, but it must be a battle result. This line of defense of the Western Empire must be killed, and there will be more powerful offensives that cannot be stopped.
The airships in the sky have already flown over, and they have also received orders to carry out bombing with full force. In fact, it is still very difficult for the airships to replenish at this time. The bombs Li Cong put on the airships are basically basic It’s all gone, and the beachhead is too small. It’s impossible to land the huge airships, so they can only get them on the ship to replenish them. Each ship can replenish a little and then fly over. Li Cong wanted to expand his land area for the same reason, that is, to let these dozens of huge airships carry bombs in the past. This would be a huge trouble for the people of the Western Empire, not the way it is now, just Wandering around in the sky, they can’t do anything. The people of the Western Empire are already used to the airship flying over their heads, but nothing comes down, because there is nothing on it, and they want to keep throwing them. bomb? It's better to go home and dream. There won't be such good things, you all understand all of them. Although the expansion of the beachhead may not necessarily win the war, Li Cong himself must know that the expansion of the beachhead will allow the airship to obtain large-scale supplies, which will be very useful for the entire capital of the Western Empire. It's a huge pressure. Such a thing must be done by himself. Li Cong has already boarded the observation point. He saw that at this moment Cao’s army had begun to attack the defensive positions of the Western Empire, and the dense bows and arrows in the sky had already arrived. The infantry in the past all came with huge shields. They all stared at the shields hoping to protect these bows and arrows, but they are not omnipotent. If the team moves, they will have air strikes. There are dead people.
At this time, the Western Empire finally found a sense of combat. The people of Cao's House of Trade are also fleshy, not iron, and seeing that their bows and arrows have also achieved good results, because of their relatively high terrain, they are very advantageous in the next attack. Just as it is now, their first wave of 50,000 archers caused 2,000 casualties to Cao’s business people. This is due to the shield. If there is no shield, it is estimated that there will be at least a few. Ten thousand people suffered casualties, but the people from Cao's Commercial Bank would certainly not let you hit us like that. We all have our own methods. The mortars of the Cao’s house were firing vigorously. If the barrels were red, just throw them aside. The four hundred mortars made orange-red mushrooms bloom one after another on the opposite position, and 50,000 archers. After killing the more than 8,500 people of Cao's Family Commercial Bank, all of them were already crushed. Cao's Family Commercial Bank could also take this opportunity to advance about 150 meters, but at this time. Another archer’s phalanx came, and they quickly repeated everything just now. They didn’t even look at the corpses under their feet, because they all understood very well. After a while, they would basically talk to the people below. It's the same. They are not afraid of anything. They are all the same as they were just now. They all know what their mission is, but they are already considered a victory. Look at everything they have now and you will understand. They are traded for 50,000 people. The 8,500 people in Cao’s House of Business have never seen such a ratio before. In fact, such things as artillery are the fear of the people who use them. If they run around, they will naturally lose any combat effectiveness. But now that those people don’t run much anymore, this thing is not so good. They are all waiting in place. If they die, they will die. At least their family members are fine, but if they run Now, everyone in the family may be even seated, and they can understand things like this. Seeing these soldiers from the Western Empire who feared death, Li Cong also felt that things might not be so easy to do in the future. These guys Each one is not simple, it seems that I am about to encounter a very tough battle.
The first wave of people who participated in the attack had already lost more than 50%. None of these people understood why the people of the Western Empire suddenly became so powerful? In the past, if they were bombarded by such artillery, it is estimated that they would no longer know where they went, but now they don’t even have the intention to leave. They are still doing themselves in place. The heavy infantry in front of them all had the same blood. They knew that this was just a breath of anger today, and they finally saw the bow and arrow like it was raining. This Cao family firm’s People also fell in pieces. As expected, what the prince said was not wrong. Some things should be done like this. Aren’t you guys at Cao’s firm that are awesome? Why are they useless at this time? Isn't it going to end like this one by one? In the past, they all knew that the war was to go up to death by themselves. No matter who it was, no one would do this kind of war. But today is different. The enemy has casualties, and there is no big gap between them. At most, it is only seven times. In the past, it was more than ten times, and at the least, it was ten times. And sometimes it may be more than 25 times. They also have such things. They understand, but sometimes they don’t understand very much. When they see all this, their eyes are full of fighting spirit. After all, they are all soldiers. How can they be bloodless? When they see that they are about to win~www .EbookFREE.me~ all have such a vision, and all of them are just like beasts.
It’s broken, it’s not good, Li Cong said in his heart, what he didn’t want to see was this kind of thing. The Western Empire’s army became more and more intent on fighting. If it continued, he might lose. It’s impossible to get anything badly, but if he retreats at this time, he may fail. The soldiers won’t have such a strong will to fight in the future. At this time, Li Cong needs to do something, even though he said that. The casualties in the fortified battle will be great, but the result of this is that the hearts of the large troops can be changed to the backbone. This kind of thing makes them feel that their army is very powerful, although in the past, the Cao family The firm’s army is already very powerful, but they have never fought such a battle. At this time, Li Cong thought of standing here at the highest point and said loudly, "Soldiers, the enemy in front of you will stop you. , Do they have this ability? Whether it’s the Eastern Empire, the Southern Empire, or the Western Empire in front of us, I can tell you that you are not our opponents. The army of our Cao Family Commercial Bank was born to write history. At this moment when we change history, I ordered that the 11.12th Division is fully pressed. Our army is a steel-like army. We must let the people of the Western Empire see clearly that we are not strong when we face the weak. Zeqiang, this is the army of our Cao family firm." Li Cong's voice quickly spread throughout the battlefield, and the people in front became more interested in fighting after hearing it, and the soldiers behind wanted to rush up quickly.
