Chapter 700: Thermal weapons debut

Moreover, the development of Yizhou firearms so far is not just that primitive rifle. There are also grenades and incendiary bombs, and a large number of them have been made.

Of the 10,000 riflemen, 1,000 were bombardiers.

With these 10,000 people here, as long as there are enough guns and ammunition, even in the face of 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of people, Li Su will not panic at all.

Moreover, the development of firearms in Yizhou is not limited to this.

That kind of improvised mortar has already been made, and the strike range can be extended to several miles away.

Moreover, even cannons have been developed.

At present, it is being assembled on the steel tank.

At the same time, cannons are also being assembled on the giant ship.

Once assembled, the steel chariots in Huaxia City will be officially upgraded to tanks.

The original steel chariot was already an invincible existence.

But in addition to the road, there are certain flaws.

For example, in fact, the attack power of the steel chariot still has certain flaws.

Forehead......

Well, there's always a taste of picking bones in an egg.

The attack power of the steel chariot is a strong crossbow, which is actually very powerful.

It's just that after being equipped with a cannon and a rifle, the attack power is stronger.

And, in this way, the tank officially has an ultra-long-range strike, as well as the function of breaking the city.

A hundred tanks swung out and slammed into the walls.

It didn't take a few shots to knock down a wall.

This kind of scene is very emotional when you think about it.

Of course, at present, this steel chariot is being refitted.

And all of them stayed in Huaxia City.

This time in the westward expedition, Li Su did not bring a steel chariot.

Because there are trains here, it is possible to transport goods quickly.

Moreover, now that this is the first time that firearms have been unveiled, there is no need for a heavyweight weapon such as a tank to be shown now.

On this expedition, Li Su personally led the team, and his subordinates led Xue Rengui and Wang Fangyi.

In addition, Xi Junmai was ordered to stay in charge.

Xi Junmai was originally a Tang general, and among the Tang generals, he was not known.

In the original historical trajectory, Xi Junmai also had great achievements in leading 800 cavalry to break the Tuyuhun rebellion.

It's a pity that the Tang Dynasty is like a cloud, Xi Junmai has no backstage, and the back is gone, and even in the history books, there is not much record of him.

And in this life, because of the appearance of Li Su, he didn't even have this merit.

But Li Su, the king of Shu, has been extremely important to him since he met him, and he has been used for him.

The king of Shu can be said to have the grace of knowing him.

And Xi Jun's purchase of the king of Shu also has the mentality of the death of a confidant.

In that year, the King of Shu was named the King of Huaxia, and when he came to the Golden State, Xi Jun followed the King of Huaxia and came to the Golden State together.

When he first came, Xi Junmai never expected that Huaxia City would be able to develop to this point.

He came with him to repay the kindness of King Huaxia.

But now it seems that the King of Huaxia will soon be able to build a huge empire.

And he, as the first group of people to defect to the King of Huaxia, is also a respected general of the King of China.

In the future, the feudal marquis is just around the corner.

This time, although Li Su asked Xi Junmai to stay in the town.

However, his journey has only just begun.

Now it's just a quest to the west.

At the back, several generals will naturally take turns to take a break.

Naturally, there will be a place for Xi Jun to buy it.

This time, since Li Su brought three generals, he simply divided into three ways.

The first way, led by Xi Junmai, attacked directly to the west in Huaxia City.

The second way, led by Xue Rengui, was in the middle position, attacking and responding to both sides.

The third way, led by Li Su himself, attacked from the position of the dock to the middle position.

If it were the same as before, Xue Rengui and Xi Jun might still be worried about the safety of the city lord.

However, over the years, the city lord has led his troops out to fight many times, and each time he has returned triumphantly, never in the slightest danger.

They weren't worried about that for a long time.

This time, Li Su bought 4,000 musketeers for Xi Jun, and he and Xue Rengui led 3,000 musketeers respectively.

Of course, although it is divided into three ways, the timing of the attack is the same.

The train, in less than a day, can be from Huaxia City, to the wharf.

Therefore, they will launch an attack on the Saga Alliance at the same time on the next day.

It took half a day for Li Su to lead an army of 30,000 to arrive at the dock.

After getting off the dock, Li Su summoned the person in charge of the dock here.

The name of this person in charge is Zhao Da.

Zhao Da's responsibility is to manage the docks here.

Responsible for the handling of cargo to and from ships, as well as the storage of goods.

Of course, that's not all he does.

His work, along with the collection of intelligence in the vicinity.

Zhao Da was also put in such an important position after layers of screening.

However, in the past, things on this dock were just the transportation of goods.

At that time, there was not much information to gather around.

And now, with the expansion of the Maison, everything is different.

The intelligence of the Zhao family's expansion is the focus of their intelligence collection.

This Zhao Da, when he heard that it was the city lord who called him personally, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

It turned out that this Zhao Da was from Datang and followed Li Su to the Golden State.

The person he admired and admired the most in his life was Li Su, the king of Shu.

The reason why he went to the Golden State was all due to the personal charm of Li Su, the king of Shu.

However, this Zhao Da, although he has seen Li Su, the king of Shu, from afar.

But he has never been face-to-face with the King of Shu, and he has said even a word.

After coming to the Golden State, after layers of selection, Zhao Da was selected and arranged to the dock.

And Zhao Da also lived up to expectations and managed the wharf in an orderly manner.

Zhao Da also has a mission, that is, to be responsible for collecting intelligence.

It's just that this place has been deserted, and on weekdays, where is there important information to collect?

And Zhao Da has never slacked off.

It wasn't until the Family Alliance began to attack the entire Golden State in an all-out way that Zhao Da's intelligence work had a real goal.

This family alliance treats those aborigines fiercely and abnormally.

But when it comes to Huaxia City, as well as the railways and docks of Huaxia City, they don't dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step.

The reason why they dared to expand so wildly was that they were right, the population of Huaxia City was seriously insufficient.

The population problem will be the biggest problem restricting their development.

But they didn't expect that they would single-handedly push all 20 million aborigines into the arms of Huaxia City.

The issue of population is no longer a problem restricting their development.

They thought that because of the population problem in Huaxia City, even if they saw them expanding wildly, they would not do anything to them.

Because Huaxia City is seriously underpopulated, they can only watch them expand without doing anything.

Of course, during this period, their strategy was not to provoke Huaxia City, stay away from Huaxia City, and not conflict with Huaxia City.

By the time they have developed, the situation may have already changed hands.

The people of the Family Alliance were only stationed fifty miles away from the train station, and they did not come to invade the train track in Huaxia City.

This made Zhao Da, who had made up his mind to live and die with the dock and was ready to defend the dock, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Zhao Da's intelligence work has never been a little lax.

Openly and secretly, he didn't know how many people he sent, not only did he hear the location and deployment of the family alliance's troops clearly, but also drew a complete map.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Da's work can be carried out so smoothly is naturally related to the fact that the Family Alliance does not have much precaution against Huaxia City.

Now summoned by the city lord, Zhao Daqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and strode towards the handsome tent.

It turned out that Li Su came with an army of 30,000, and Zhao Da had already gotten the news.

Even more packed out of the room early, ready for the army to move in.

It's just that this wharf is not very big, and the population is only 40,000 or 50,000.

Packing up the dwellings of the 30,000-strong army, more than half of the people in this wharf have to sleep on the streets.

However, even their leader, Zhao Da, prepared to give up his room to the city lord to live in.

As for the others, they dare not complain.

And after Li Su led the army to come, he did not let the soldiers live in the house prepared by Zhao Da in advance.

Instead, he camped in the open space outside the docks, and even the tent where he lived was only slightly larger than that of ordinary soldiers, and there was nothing else special.

And the reason why his handsome tent is bigger is because it is convenient to discuss things with many generals.

This move of the city lord made Zhao Da and the people on the dock even more admired.

Soon, Zhao Da entered the tent.

Seeing the city lord, with a pop, Zhao Da suddenly knelt down in front of Li Su.

Zhao Da's move made Li Su a little confused.

This Zhao Da, why did he kneel down as soon as they met?

What's wrong with this?

"Get up and speak."

Zhao Da hurriedly got up from the ground, and smirked: "My subordinates have admired the city lord for a long time, and when I saw it this time, I couldn't help myself, it was my subordinates' rudeness, and I punished the city lord." ”

Hearing Zhao Da's words, Li Su frowned slightly, and always felt that something was wrong with this Zhao Da.

Now Li Su is doubting his ability.

Put such a person in such an important position, can he do a good job?

Next, Li Su asked about the garrison of the Family Alliance.

Zhao Da directly took out a detailed map, and explained everything about the garrison of the Family Alliance, which was very detailed.

Only then did Li Su put his mind at ease.

After putting away the map, after Li Su sent Zhao Da back, he quickly made a battle plan for tomorrow.

In fact, how big is the entire Golden State?

And the family alliance, even if it plunders the Eastern Slavs, how many people can it have?

The population they are stationed in this vicinity is really small, but there are only more than 10,000 people.

Nearby, two small cities were built.

Most of these more than 10,000 people are Eastern Slavs who have migrated.

Therefore, attacking here is really not difficult at all for Li Su.

The information collected by Zhao Da is extremely detailed, and it can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it.

Of course, Li Su would not believe Zhao Da's information so easily.

When the attack is launched tomorrow, it is natural that unmanned reconnaissance planes will be used to reconnoiter their situation.

On the second day, Li Su led the army and went straight to the first city in the family alliance fifty miles away.

This city was built in a hurry by the family alliance, and the city is extremely simple.

The city wall is no more than a foot high, and in many places, it has not yet been repaired.

Even the city gates are made of wood.

The defenders in the city were only 300 people.

Of the 300 defenders, there were more than 200 East Slavic soldiers.

There are only twenty or thirty people, and they are soldiers trained by the Family Alliance.

These people are naturally in high positions.

The family alliance is actually limited by population.

Although they migrated many Eastern Slavs, after all, the land of the Golden State was too big.

Moreover, the Saga Alliance has also been in a hurry recently.

If you take a step-by-step strategy, it is safe, but you don't know how many years it will take.

They were in a hurry to expand, so they could only build a city across dozens or hundreds of miles.

In this way, they will consolidate the territory they have occupied.

As everyone knows, the harm of doing so is actually very great.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and these migrated people are too far away from each other to develop.

After a long time, the migrated population in these isolated cities is afraid that their lives will be unsustainable.

In fact, if Li Su is in a hurry to expand, he will inevitably face such a problem.

Now, of course, there are cities built by the Family Alliance, and there are people they have plundered.

It's a lot easier to do it now.

Along the way, Li Su's speed of advancement was not fast.

First of all, he first released an unmanned reconnaissance plane and constantly reconnoitred the situation along the way.

It is necessary to make sure that the family alliance does not set up an ambush on the road, so as not to capsize in the gutter.

Along the way, there was not the slightest trace of an ambush.

In addition, there are scouts in front of the road, and there is no particularly treacherous terrain in this vicinity.

Along the way, it can be said that there is no danger or danger.

And the city built by the Family Alliance is too small.

There were only 300 defenders inside, and there were not even soldiers on guard outside.

It was not until Li Su led an army of 30,000 to press the border and surround the entire city that the officers and soldiers defending the city were alerted.

They hurriedly sent out a warning signal and closed the city gate in a panic.

Three hundred defenders poured out, took up their weapons, bows and arrows, and climbed onto the city walls.

It's a pity that this city, although it is a small city, is also ten miles long.

There are only 300 people, scattered out, and one person has to guard a large section of the city wall of nearly 20 meters.

If Huaxia City really wants to attack, I am afraid that it will be a charge, and it will be able to break the city directly.

The comparison of numbers is too disparity, and there is no possibility of being able to defend at all.

Thinking of this section, the three hundred defenders on the city wall couldn't help but look like ashes.
