Chapter 2267:

Here, Li Wei is already ready to fight against the Western Empire, but the Western Empire’s army has also switched from offensive to defensive, but their transformation is somewhat useless, for the people of the Cao family firm. The people of the Western Empire simply don’t have any ability to resist. Just look at some of their defensive settings, but this time it’s a lot of improvements compared to the previous time. They have already dug a lot of trenches. Well, they don’t know who taught them, at least during the shelling, they will never suffer as many casualties as they did before, but they don’t have much good effect. Basically, they are anti-gunholes. No, compared with the modern trenches, there is a big gap, but no matter what, people have made a lot of progress, so if you continue to fight according to the standards of the Eastern Empire, you will not get much effect. When the Eastern Empire was defeated, the mortars and grenades used a lot of strength, because they were all on flat ground and there was no defense system there, so such a big result came out, but It’s different here. These people are already ready to resist. Looking at their fortifications, you know that if you rely on mortars and grenades, the final result will not be much better, so There must be some other things. Fortunately, there are a lot of heavy artillery on the front line of the Western Empire. They can be used as the vanguard of the offensive, but there are no mechanical forces in this world. Hong Lie can only help the army. All three-level fighters gathered together and let these officers act as a cracker. Only in this way can the artillery be delivered in the shortest time. Fortunately, these officers all know the importance of artillery. Such a big guy is definitely better than ten thousand soldiers. There are many. Small-caliber artillery on the battlefield of the Eastern Empire is a problem. The transportation of large-caliber artillery weighing more than a hundred jin here is even more problematic. The carriages are carried one by one, but they want to be high-strength. The artillery bombardment still has a lot of suffering, but it is much better than the Western Empire. Many generals in the Western Empire were panicked when they heard that the Cao’s firm’s army had killed the Eastern Empire’s army. They didn't have this ally at the beginning. They didn't make it themselves. Now that there are no allies, it should be the same as at the beginning, but they are all used to someone helping them to contain the Western Empire’s army, and now they are suddenly gone, all of them feel uncomfortable. . Sometimes things are like this. Many of them now want to withdraw their troops. Especially some soldiers, even more do not want this thing to continue, in their opinion. The current situation is not so simple. The people of Cao’s house can concentrate their strength. At the beginning, they dared to fight when there was no second batch of reinforcements. Now this reinforcement has come to the third. It is approved. It is said that the fourth batch is also on the way. The number of this group is more than 6 million. This is no longer a small military base. Perhaps this is a conspiracy of Cao's business. I think of them one by one. Feeling cold all over, how could such a thing happen? Could this Li Yun be a bait here? To catch them all? Not so evil.
The senior officials of the Western Empire were hesitating at this time. Just like their emperor, they still hope to win the battle against Cao’s Commercial Bank just like the last time. Such a thing seems impossible now. The question is, it’s a terrible question whether they can retreat all of these tens of millions of elite troops. They don’t need to face the same danger as the Eastern Empire’s troops. They only need to retreat 300 miles. You can go to the territory of your own empire, but will the emperor of the Western Empire lose this person? It can be said that this matter was caused by him, and now he has not achieved any results, but because of the offensive on his own side, hundreds of thousands of people have died. This loss is not small, although the total number of people is not very large. Yes, but for the Western Empire, these are all elites. They are definitely not those of the previous armies. Each of these armies was trained to spend a lot of money, and it is even more unlikely that all of them will be buried here. Many big bosses in the Western Empire have already seen it clearly. They all think that what they should do now is to retreat quickly. It is already obvious that the people in Cao’s house are going to eat this new army. It further illustrates the importance of the new army. If all of these troops can be retreated back, everyone will become an instructor when they come back, and then they can become a small group or even a larger military organization in the future. They are all very aware of such things, so now they must come back from the army. If they all die here, the entire court will have to start from scratch again. The money spent is an astronomical figure. In terms of reason, this requirement should be correct, but isn’t there still such a statement from the face? The face of the emperor of the Western Empire is very important. There is no reason that they could rely on the old army to fight them and ran away. Now that there is a new army with more powerful combat effectiveness, it can't win? This matter seems a bit unreasonable, but they also understand this matter. This matter is not that simple, so we have to analyze it together. Many military personnel have said that it was in our homeland at that time. We can say that we fought in our hometown. No matter what we lost, we can quickly replenish it, but now it’s different. As long as such things happen, our results will be very difficult to replenish. Although it is relatively close to our transit, there is still a problem that we can’t replenish the weapons of those people. Sometimes something big may happen, and their words are directly filtered by the emperor. The most important thing about being an emperor is to save your face. If what you say doesn’t work, the credibility you lose is much worse than that of the millions of troops, but the emperor is not as foolish as before. of. He has already stipulated that the army can only defend slowly, not attack, but their defense is nothing to Cao's business, if there is a huge city as their back end, it would be okay, but In the wild, their defenses were basically of no use. After Li Wei learned the news that the spies from the Western Empire had returned, he was already happy. It seemed that these people were specifically here to pave the way for him. I am embarrassed not to kill these people.
The high-level military department of the Caojia Commercial Bank also gave some conclusions about the situation on the front line. They also think that the people of the Western Empire are a little bolder. Although we lost a lot to you back then, we are not at that time. Everything here is different from yours. At present, there are about 1.58 million people in the Caojia Commercial Bank who can be used for offensive purposes. And the third batch of reinforcements is coming soon. If it arrives, it can definitely send out more than two million troops. At that time, it would rely on the tens of millions of troops from the Western Empire. They are absolutely unstoppable. It is important to know that in the defensive battle, the casualty ratio of Cao's house and other empires can reach one to twenty-five, or even higher. In the fortified battle, this number will drop a little, but one There is still no problem compared to fifteenth. If they are not clear about this problem, they will suffer a big loss in the end. Obviously the Western Empire cannot see this, or some people have seen it, but some people I didn’t see it. Those who saw it didn’t have much power, and it was impossible to decide the direction of things. Those who didn’t see it were the people with real power and allowed the Western Empire’s army to do things. They It was the real culprit of this incident. It was acknowledged by the senior officials of the Cao Jiashang Military Department. Li Yu hadn't been idle for a minute. He immediately took the airship to this place. He also had his own ideas. He wants to show all the Cao’s business people that he can do this by himself, and everyone else understands it, especially Hong Lie. Since he is following the young master, we have to give it to the young master. An opportunity for the master to show his face is not important at other times. The important thing is at this time. If you can’t do it well, it is estimated that Li Xing will really remember him for a lifetime. Many people on earth have reduced their heads to talk to the royal family. Some of the members have gotten closer, but their chances are much better than them. I have gained Li Wei’s trust so quickly, and I don’t know how many times the scale of this place is larger than on the earth, as long as People who are a little bit chasing will choose to mix in this place. The rights that this place can hold are not what others can think of. It can definitely give themselves a very big world. This is also what they want to do. Some generals also know the significance of this battle. Their young master wants to show everyone his abilities, and we have to perform well. Directly defeat the opponent and there is nothing to perform. There is nothing to be proud of. What we have to do now is to wipe them out. Like the troops of the Eastern Empire, they must be defeated. This is a complete victory. In fact, Li Cong did not think about it. It’s a lot of pressure on this guy. Instead of doing it like this, it’s better to stay a line. Maybe you will use someone else in the future. If that time comes, you have some excuses for talking, if you really do it. If it is too much, there will be nothing. This is something that too many people don’t want to see. These people will all do this. A series of things are shown in this way. Li Yun is already doing it. After all the preparations are done, we will wait for the war to start in three hours, and then we will show everyone their military abilities.
In fact, the last time I was on the island of the World Conference, I was able to prove myself. It’s just that this guy’s spirit was relatively high. I thought that there were still a lot of people helping me. It’s all possible. This is Li Cong’s problem. He wanted to do everything on his own strength. Li Cong told him at that time. In fact, Li Cong couldn’t do it when he was young. A young man should have these and other shortcomings. This is when the old man stepped forward, just like Li Wei. It’s too exhausting to live like this. Although Li Cong hopes his grandson can become a dragon, But sometimes, I don’t want my grandson to be so tired, just as it is now, if it’s too tired. Life was uncomfortable, but after Li Yun entered Cao’s house, he saw that there were too many capable people in it. If he can’t perform well, these people may not know each other in the future. Own, this is absolutely unacceptable. I am not only a noble blood, but everything I have is very good. There have been some changes in the army of the Western Empire in the last few hours. Some of their generals have been put under house arrest. The Marshal of the Western Empire has already received an order from the Emperor of the Western Empire, that is, they are absolutely not allowed to retreat, they must stay in that place, if they really leave. This is a big deal. They must be left waiting for reinforcements. Don’t be afraid even if the Cao’s family of firms attacked them. The Cao’s family of firms’ army just finished the war with the Eastern Empire, so it can be said that their skills are not very good. They haven’t recovered yet. According to their idea, it takes at least half a month to take a break. If this continues to fight without breaks, the victorious army may become a defeated army. This is also something that many examples can prove, but some generals in the Western Emperor team are not so kind. They are very aware of the state of the Cao’s commercial firm’s army. Just look at the frequency of their airships. I know, they are no different from before. What is different is the look in their eyes. In the past, they looked at their enemies and opponents, but now they look at themselves. It was as if people were looking at some captives, it was as if Ang was that they had already defeated us. This look made the generals of the Western Empire feel dangerous. They had already told the marshal above that they would go back. I have to retreat, I have to go back, otherwise it would be the result of the destruction of the whole army, but the marshal didn’t mean to go back at all. In the marshal’s view, everything now is not so easy to reach. Now What must be done is to continue the defense. The empire is already ready to come to support the army. They must hold Li Yun, and they must not let Li Yun’s army support Tuoba Yuanye. Prince Ding cannot face so many. Enemy, this statement even the Marshal himself felt a bit far-fetched. This statement was like a joke. Without a strong city, would there be a large number of troops who wanted to fight against Cao’s merchants in the wild? This is no different from looking for death.
In order to prevent these generals from being random, the Marshal of the Western Empire directly put them under house arrest. I believe the future will also be known. The soldiers below saw that their generals were arrested, and they began to mess up. Was it his general doing something wrong, or was it for other reasons? These soldiers themselves had their own sources of information. Many people already knew what was going on. It was nothing more than that they were all given by the Western Empire. Abandoned, it basically means that. Many times these people think about how much they are valued by others, but the actual situation is not like this. The emperor of the Western Empire wants them to fight to the death for the sake of face. What is the difference between suicide and persisting to the end in a war without victory? Just when they were about to rise up to resist, the artillery of Cao's firm arrived. A volley of heavy artillery over 200mm shook almost the entire land. One round of volley at least brought the soldiers of the Western Empire. With more than thousands of casualties, these people are also scared. They hadn’t seen the artillery of Cao’s house before, nor had they seen such a large-caliber artillery before, but they had seen artillery before. At that time, there was no Cao's house of the army behind, but this time it was different. A black line appeared on the distant position. It was not caused by the weather or the terrain. All of those were from the Cao's house. Soldiers, their infantry is advancing slowly step by step. The soldiers of Cao's house did not move quickly. They wanted to use this method to break the last bit of willpower of the soldiers of the Western Empire, and let them know if they continued. If the resistance continues, there is simply no way to survive. Many soldiers of the Western Empire are panicked. They don't know what to do. If their generals are still there, this situation will not happen here. It's a pity that their generals were arrested. All the soldiers entered the position. The marshal ordered an army of more than 600,000 cavalry to attack immediately, but the cavalry commander refused to carry out this order. The land in front is no longer a platform. All of them have been hit by the giant artillery of Cao’s house. If you go out at this time, it is estimated that you will lose half of them before you come to Cao’s house. And they have all tested them before. All of them have actual combat data. The people of Cao’s House of Business are still very good at dealing with the impact of the cavalry. Their deputy will immediately be divided into three steps to shoot. At that time, let’s not say that they rushed over, just to save their lives. It's all an insufferable thing, so the cavalry troops don't want to take risks. The marshal cut off the cavalry commander without even thinking about it. Then the deputy commander sorted out about 300,000 cavalry. They rushed out, and there was no change in the Cao's house. They could all see it. The combat effectiveness of this cavalry can be said to be appallingly low. Just look at their formation to know what's going on. They don't need to say how much casualties they can bring to themselves. You will know that hundreds of people died as soon as they ran out. You must know that this is nothing to do with Cao's business. The people of Cao's Commercial Bank did not attack. They fell down in the chaos, and were trampled to death by the people behind. It was really funny.
Li Wei saw all this with a telescope. At this time, he naturally had his own idea. As soon as Li Wei waved his hand, the soldiers in front of him immediately began to install a large number of super serial crossbows, as long as they entered the range of 3000 meters. Hundreds of super serial crossbows will turn all these people into sieves, unless the soldiers of the Western Empire are invulnerable, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for someone to stick to the past. As for the artillery of Cao’s house, there is still nothing. They are still bombarding the camp of the Western Empire according to the coordinates just now. Even if the cavalry of the Western Empire can achieve certain results, there is no strong and continuous behind this, because their rear is already It’s been blown up, so what else can they do? These cavalrymen ran out less than two kilometers before they saw what was in front of them. Each of the arrows glowed brightly in the sun. The light gave the Cao’s merchants incredible confidence, but nothing beats the confidence of the Western Empire cavalry. These people looked at these things one by one and felt that it was almost the end of the world. At the time, they hadn’t seen these things, but they didn’t have so many. The moment they entered 3000 meters, these super serial crossbows all started, and they drove over like a dark cloud. The feared cavalry was either the horse being concentrated or the people being concentrated. Anyway, they immediately turned on their backs. Although the people behind were not injured, their speed was already very fast. These people stopped one by one. If they don’t come down, they can only continue to advance on their comrades. Many people have seen this war. They all said that under the defense of more than 500 super serial crossbows, hundreds of thousands of soldiers wanted to rush past. It's an impossible thing. They can't do anything except the dead. For them, this is an unfinished nightmare. Many people believe this fact very much. Because of this, the soldiers behind the Western Empire did not dare to move forward at all, but can they retreat at this time? It’s impossible, unless hundreds of thousands of them stop together, but it’s impossible. When they set off, it’s impossible for them to set off at the same time, not to mention the time to stop, behind them. The crowd in front was shot by the serial crossbow of the Cao’s family firm. These hundreds of thousands of cavalry were a lesson for the remaining soldiers in the Western Empire camp. Don’t go out casually, especially Don’t charge against Cao’s business. If you really want to rush over, these are your role models. It’s impossible. Don’t just waste your life here. An unworthy thing, Li Wei also saw all this from a high place. When there were less than half of the cavalry remaining on the field, the cavalry of Cao's business was dispatched, although the cavalry of Cao's business was not often dispatched. But if you don’t let them go out to try the work of sweeping fallen leaves now, these people will really become the treasures of the Cao family firm. They can't do anything. They are still the most expensive unit of the Cao family firm. The cavalry of China does not want to be so useless, they want to become the best cavalry.
In the past, many people said that the cavalry of Cao's business was the same as those of the Eastern Empire, but they had very powerful weapons and equipment. Their training is pretty good, but the only thing lacking is their performance on the battlefield. It can be said that the cavalry of Cao’s firm has basically never fought any serious battles. They know how to work hard. However, it is not easy to say that there is no actual combat verification. They are also very helpless about such things. The infantry of Cao's house will basically not give them the opportunity to shoot. In fact, Li Cong did not want to let them. It is true that if these people suffer a casualty, they will feel sorry for themselves. Their equipment plus training costs. Each cavalry is worth more than 5,000 taels of silver. What a joke, such an army is almost like a gold mountain and a silver mountain, if it is casual to die tens of thousands of people. This is a loss of tens of millions. Naturally, other troops did not suffer such losses. Of course, other armies will not have such good equipment, just like the cavalry equipment of the Cao's House. Their weapons can be used by some third-level fighters, not to mention that they are all ordinary soldiers. Now these 100,000 cavalry rushed up, and there were 300,000 Western Empire cavalry opposite them. Of course, although the number of cavalry is quite large, they are already in a panic. There is no other way. For them, the matter before them is really terrible. The cavalry of Cao’s business is like a tiger going down the mountain. This blind man bet the cavalrymen of the Western Empire. What day is it that the cavalrymen of the Cao family firm actually want to meet them in short-hand? At this time, a general of the Western Empire said loudly, "Brothers, the cavalry of the Cao Family Commercial Firm also came out to bully us. They thought that we were all out of combat power and could bully us casually? Today we are going to tell them what is called Cavalry, brothers, take up your steel knives and let them know that the cavalry is not only good equipment, but good horses. We can defeat them even now. For the honor of our cavalry, let them know that they are not worthy. Becoming cavalry, they are just a group of infantry on horseback." The voice of this general was almost heard by the cavalry of the Western Empire. If they were to charge like just now, they would definitely not go, but the situation is different now. Now, what is needed is the short-term combat. This is always the weak of the Cao Family Commercial Firm. It is not their cavalry, but none of their soldiers are capable of this. On the contrary, the soldiers of the Western Empire often train this. What they are also good at is this thing. What they have to do now is to rush up to let them know how useless they are, as the general said. If they don’t understand, they have to tell them that cavalry is not that way. It's easy. The cavalry of Cao's business didn't back down after hearing this. They all clenched their weapons. Talking big is useless at all. We won't do such things, we command Use the weapons in our hands to tell you what to do. If you have that ability, just try it. If you don't have that ability, then you can answer with your head.
The cavalry of the Western Empire generally used silver armor. This kind of armor can be said to be very conspicuous. It is also very handsome when it is on a ship. Compared with theirs, the armor of the Cao Family Firm is not very good. Well, all the armors of Cao's House of Commercial Firm are that kind of black and gray, and they don't seem to have much momentum, but the quality of the armor of Cao's House of Commercial Firm is much stronger than that of the Western Empire. Their 5000 The two pieces of silver equipment is not a joke. All of them are actually made. The armors of the Western Empire are all made by people from the Ministry of Industry of the Western Empire. The materials used can be said to be cutting corners, as long as they can Just let you use it, and the rest will leave our business alone. Of course, officials up and down all need to have their own interests. If they don't have their own interests, what is this mess? The armors of the Cao family firm are different. The armors of the Cao family firm are all made by people who forge the Ma family. The Ma family can be said to be the best armor manufacturer on this continent. They gave them enough materials, and they also gave them enough material costs. They spent three years manufacturing about 10 million armors for Cao’s family firm. During these three years, they basically did not do other work. Ah, there is no other way. Who makes Cao's business firm enough? Although other empires also add tens of millions of cavalry every year. But no one customized the armor for 1,500 taels of silver, and the people of the Ma family are confessed to death. As many chairs you give me, I will make what kind of armor for you. I want to get some from me. It is absolutely impossible for us to rebate or something. We won’t have such a thing. For us, such things are not so easy to obtain. For this reason, people in the entire mainland know the Ma family. It's the best to do this, but people from other empires won't look for them. Who will do things without money. If you are willing to do such a thing, just do it. That is to say, some mercenaries and some private organizations will look for them, but the business of those people is too far apart from that of Cao’s firm. These tens of millions of armors are worth 15 billion silver, Ma After the family made this business. The entire family has expanded by about a third. It can be said that this transaction made the Ma family the number one forging family in the world. At this time, Li Wei also discovered how powerful the armors of the Ma family were. Basically, the soldiers of the Western Empire didn't respond when they slashed on the armor. At most, there was only one more scratch. But just by looking at the armors of the Western Empire, I’m not afraid of not knowing, but I’m afraid of comparing goods. This is definitely a true truth that the older generations said. It can be seen now that the soldiers of the Western Empire basically It was over all at once. Those people were all holding their broken arms and going down. Such things are everywhere. One such situation is that the armor of the Western Empire is too bad, and the other is them. The weapons of the Cao’s house are not in the same class as those of the Cao’s firm. People from the Ma family can make armor, but the Mulun family of the Eastern Empire can make weapons, especially such mass-produced weapons, which cost 600 taels each. The cavalry knife is what they are best at.
In Li Wei’s telescope, a soldier from the Cao’s house in the distance swung a knife and slashed towards the soldier from the Western Empire. The soldier from the Western Empire took out his own weapon to resist. His eyes were very big. It seemed that he didn’t believe the matter in front of him, but it was a real thing. The enemy’s knife cut his own knife. He hadn’t encountered such a thing before, and it was not over yet. Well, the enemy’s knife then slashed his armor, and his arm was hit immediately. If it wasn’t for his armor to jam the opponent’s knife, it is estimated that he would already have a broken arm. Even though I kept this arm, I was thrown off by my horse. Then this man’s fate will be more miserable. There are horse legs everywhere, and these horses don’t care if you are. The people in Cao’s house are still from the Western Empire. As long as they trample you to death, anyway, if the horse feels something around him, he will kill the surrounding things. Such things are happening almost everywhere. So, the people of Cao’s house could kill the people of the Western Empire, but the people of the Western Empire finally caught an opportunity, only to find that their weapons could not do any harm to the people of Cao’s house. The people from Cao’s House of Commerce have played close combat with you, but none of you have the ability. This is really frustrating. When Li Cong created such a cavalry, many people felt that Li Cong was wasting money. In fact, the people of Cao’s business didn’t need cavalry at all. But in the subsequent battles, they all discovered such a thing, that is, cavalry can indeed improve people’s morale. , Especially in this case, most people will do things like this, because of what? It is because the attack of the cavalry is like a symbol. The cavalry is very powerful. When these people do things one by one, they can bring up the morale of all the troops, just like it is now, all the Cao family The soldiers of the firm are all in their posts, watching vigorously, as if they are also exerting their strength now. There are not many soldiers in the Western Empire that killed and wounded in this way, but it made them feel that such killings are better than those of cannons. It’s comfortable, and I don’t know what it feels like. The commanders of the Western Empire have obviously seen such a thing. The Marshal of the Western Empire will never allow this war to fail like that. Immediately gather all the remaining half a million cavalrymen. For nothing else, you must kill these cavalrymen from Cao's house. Li Wei also discovered this. The cavalrymen of Cao's house are very powerful. , But when faced with seven or eight times the enemy, this won’t work. Li Wei thought about it and wanted the messenger to issue an order. The cavalry immediately began to gather after seeing the order~EbookFREE.me ~Now they will not retreat, because they all know that if they give up their backs to these people, their lives may be more difficult, and they may be killed by the enemy. Such things But they can’t just do it like that. Now they can’t do anything about things like this. They must have other methods. Sure enough, these cavalry began to become a rectangle, and their two hands had already taken out their crossbows. It turns out that this is their weapon...
The function of the hand crossbow can be said to be similar to that of a pistol. This kind of thing can be said to be very good, suitable for such a melee. As long as they really rush up, the hand crossbow will definitely let them know what a nightmare is. They had all seen hand crossbows in the past. Now when the soldiers of the Western Empire saw this thing, they knew what the Cao’s merchants wanted to do. They all wanted to hold their horses, but unfortunately they There was no way to stop, and a massacre started again. After a while, these cavalrymen took out their steel knives and killed them directly. This is the strategy of the Cao family firm. It is very successful, Li The command is just right, and the grasp of time is also very good. These people are unlucky.
The first war has basically come out. The people of the Western Empire can be said to have been completely defeated. They have no hope of winning at all. The cavalry has been defeated and their camp has begun to chaos. These people cannot continue. Persevering, the rest is the same as the people in the Eastern Empire, hopeless. (To be continued...)
