Chapter 702: Very Panicked
For the big city of the Family Alliance, Li Su decided to adopt a sneak attack. Although, even if you take the way of a frontal attack, you can easily take it.
However, if a frontal attack is adopted, there will inevitably be casualties.
Li Su, on the other hand, prefers to end the battle with zero casualties.
The news in their favor now is that they are very fast, and in one day, they have taken seven cities in a row.
They have blocked the news very well, and so far, they have not leaked the slightest news of the Saga Alliance.
Therefore, when they attack that big city tomorrow, they can do it in the form of a sneak attack.
On the second day, Li Su did not continue the siege operation.
Instead, the army was ordered to rest for a day.
As for those soldiers, in fact, they basically sat in the car for the whole day yesterday, and then got off the station, and the rest, basically did nothing.
They don't want to rest, they just want to go into battle and kill the enemy.
But since this is the order of the city lord, they can only strictly enforce it.
And Li Su ordered them to rest, in fact, in order to act at night.
By the afternoon, Li Su had already ordered 3,000 soldiers, as the vanguard, and quietly set off.
The remaining 20,000-odd troops will not start their operations until the evening.
Cooperate with the 3,000 vanguard army to launch an offensive against that big city.
These 3,000 vanguard troops, secretly sneaking, came to the big city of the Family Alliance, ten miles away, and stopped.
This big city, the name is Rising Sun City, which is also the first big city with a name in the Family Alliance.
Like the seven small cities they occupied yesterday, they didn't even have their names yet.
It was Li Su who named the seven small cities one by one.
And from the name of this big city, you can see the ambition of the family alliance.
The city of the rising sun is clearly the meaning of the rising sun.
It means that their family alliance is like the rising sun and full of vitality.
The defense of this Rising Sun City is not the same as the seven small cities they took yesterday.
This Rising Sun City, because there are soldiers of the Thousand Family Alliance inside.
At the same time, the city of the rising sun is also the center of dozens of surrounding small towns, and plays the role of connecting and protecting the surrounding small towns.
Therefore, the defense of this Rising Sun City is relatively good.
Every day, soldiers patrol the city.
Of course, their precautions, in the eyes of Li Su, are just appearances.
This kind of precaution is just a superficial work, and it is just a look.
After dark, the 3,000 vanguard army quietly marched towards the Rising Sun City.
At the same time, 28,000 troops also quietly set off in the dark night.
They marched until they stopped five miles from Sunburst City, and waited quietly.
As soon as the three thousand vanguard army opened the gates, they would rush in and occupy the city of the Rising Sun.
Let's say that these 3,000 vanguard troops are quietly lurking towards the location of the city wall.
Originally, they were also afraid that Rising Sun City was heavily defended, and it was not easy to lurk in the past.
But soon they were pleasantly surprised to find that during the day, the defending soldiers were still pretending.
At night, it doesn't even look like it.
Not only could you not see the patrolling soldiers, but even the lights could not be seen.
It seems that the defenders of the Rising Sun City have not received any news.
They did not expect at all that war would come quietly.
Even the generals at the top do not pay attention to it, and may even arrange to patrol the city wall at night.
But down there, those soldiers don't pay much more attention.
Of course, in the face of this situation, the vanguard did not relax in the slightest, and still closely watched the city walls and the surrounding situation.
Then, five hundred soldiers dressed in black night clothes rushed to the city wall.
On a dark and windy night, not to mention that there are no defending soldiers on the city walls.
Even if there were soldiers patrolling the city walls, it would be difficult to see clearly if they did not look closely.
The five hundred soldiers quickly came to the city wall.
Then, fifty soldiers, quietly took out the hundred treasure claws.
Then with a strong arm, he threw the Hundred Treasure Claw onto the city wall, allowing the claw arm to firmly grasp the city wall.
At this time, these soldiers did not immediately climb upwards.
These claws are covered with fur, and even in the dark, they don't make much noise.
But after all, there will still be a little noise.
If there are guards on the city wall, if they are close, they will be able to hear it, and they will come and investigate.
These fifty soldiers, after waiting a little for tea, did not see anyone come to investigate.
So, they tightened the rope and, like apes, grabbed the rope and climbed up as fast as they could.
Soon, they climbed to the top of the city wall.
They didn't jump on it the first time, but took a look at it first.
After making sure that there were no defenders on the wall, he jumped on the wall.
Then, these fifty men, all the four hundred and fifty people below, were pulled to the city wall.
Until everyone climbed to the city wall, they were still not discovered by the defenders of the Rising Sun.
Next, they quietly touched the city wall and infiltrated the military station at the city gate.
Eliminate all the thirty officers and soldiers who were sleeping in the city, and then quickly open the city gate.
The 2,500 vanguard troops outside rushed into the city gate, immediately occupied the defensive position at the city gate, and firmly held the city gate.
Then they set a fire at the gates of the city.
The bonfire was blazing, and even from dozens of miles away, it could be seen clearly.
Seeing this bonfire, Li Su understood that the vanguard army had opened the city gate and everything was going well.
Next, an army of 10,000 marched thousands of miles and soon rushed into the city.
The remaining army of 17,000 remained besieged around the city, and not a single person in the city was allowed to escape.
What is particularly ridiculous is that until this time, the defenders in the Rising Sun City have not been alerted to the fact that the city gate has been forced.
However, there were still defenders who discovered the fire at the city gate and did not know what had happened.
I'm calling someone, come and check.
And the countless torches that suddenly appeared in the city stunned them.
They finally realized that the Rising Sun City had been broken.
And they don't even know who the Rising Sun City was destroyed.
I don't know how many people there are and what weapons are used.
Now the four gates of Rising Sun City, which gate was broken, they don't know.
They quickly organized their soldiers, put on armor, took up arms, rushed out of the barracks, and prepared to meet the enemy.
Soon, they spotted the enemy.
At this time, the commander of the Saga Alliance, even in a panic, was still able to maintain his composure.
"Everyone listened to the order, and the archers were ready, and when they heard my command, they released their arrows together."
"Shieldmen take cover, pikemen prepare to charge."
"We must crush the enemy in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!"
The distance between the two sides is gradually getting closer.
Closer, closer.
Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps—
The commander of the Saga Alliance, as soon as the enemy came within a hundred paces, was ready to shoot.
But at this moment, the enemy on the opposite side stopped.
And the soldiers of the first row in front of them, crawling on the ground, the soldiers of the second row squatted down, and the soldiers of the third row, still maintaining a standing position.
And in their hands, they held a strange thing flat.
That thing, from a distance, looked like a stick.
The enemy's actions made the commander of the Saga Alliance a little baffled.
He really didn't know what the enemy was doing with a stick two hundred paces away.
Could they still use magic?
And this move of the enemy made the commander of the Family Alliance a little overwhelmed for a while.
At this distance, the range of the bow and arrow can't reach the opponent at all.
But now the enemy has stopped, and he, the original tactic, is to wait for work and defend and counterattack.
But now in this situation, how can he attack?
Do you want your soldiers to decisively step forward to attack?
What he didn't know was that the stick in the hands of the soldiers of Huaxia City was called a rifle.
The effective killing distance of the rifle reaches a full 400 meters.
Within 800 meters, there is lethality.
People are stuck at a distance of 200 meters, which is just stuck in a position that they can't reach.
Moreover, even if the soldiers of the Saga Alliance turn around and run now, they will have to run a full distance of 200 meters to run the effective killing distance of their rifles.
The question is, at a distance of 200 meters, how many lives do they have to pay to run out?
What's more, now those people from the Family Alliance are still in a state of Mambi and haven't run at all?
"Launch!"
Li Su decisively gave the order to launch.
biu!
biu! biu!
The three-stage firing was almost without dead ends, and the dense gunfire suddenly rang out.
Behind the rifles in the hands of the riflemen in Huaxia City, clusters of brilliant sparks burst out.
One by one, the bullet casings jumped to the ground.
And the soldiers of the Family Alliance in front of them, accompanied by the sound of gunfire, fell one by one.
When they were dying, they let out a terrible scream.
Until he finally died, his eyes were always wide open, and his eyes revealed infinite horror and shock.
Until they died, they couldn't figure out why the stick in the enemy's hand was on fire.
Why is it possible to fire a concealed weapon?
Why are their secret weapons so powerful?
Just shoot them in one go?
What kind of weapon is this?
The intensive shooting made those soldiers of the Family Alliance fall one by one.
They were completely blindfolded, and even forgot to escape.
Just stupidly standing in place, passively withstanding the shot.
Actually, of course, the shooting didn't last long.
For Li Su, Rising Sun City is a small test for the first time in this war.
Li Su didn't want any accidents.
Therefore, all the three thousand riflemen who accompanied him were brought out.
To use a not-so-proper algorithm, if a rifleman aims at an enemy and hits just right.
Then, each person only needs to fire one shot, and the defenders of the opposite Saga Alliance will be dead.
They only had 3,000 defenders in total, and dozens of people had died at the city gate just now.
The other city gates, presumably there will still be people left, and on their side, there are less than 3,000 people in total.
Of course, in fact, it is impossible for one person to aim at one enemy, and it is impossible for everyone to hit.
But the three thousand riflemen, in the face of an enemy of less than three thousand, still stood in dense numbers, just in their effective range, and did not know how to dodge.
There really doesn't need to be shot many times.
When Li Su saw that most of the people on the opposite side had fallen, he decisively gave the order to stop shooting.
And at this time, the 3,000 riflemen were still very regretful.
Because, many of them only fired two or three shots, which is completely unenjoyable.
But there is no way, who let their enemies, so can't help but fight!
Under Li Su's order, the gunfire suddenly stopped.
"Listen to the people in front, quickly throw away your weapons, surrender and don't kill!"
"Quickly throw away your weapons, surrender and don't kill!"
When!
When! When!
These defenders, who were completely frightened, hurriedly threw away their weapons and chose to surrender.
At this time, the original defenders of nearly three thousand were only eight or nine hundred people left.
Next, Li Su led the army, ploughed the court and swept the caves, and easily occupied the Rising Sun City.
Today's battle has disappointed those new troops.
Originally, they thought that there would be a bitter battle tonight.
However, they marched only for the night.
They waited outside, and waited for the fire to light up at the gates, and they rushed into the city.
Then on the side, I was a spectator.
They were not given a chance to do anything, and all those enemies were wiped out.
I really didn't give them a chance at all.
Of course, they also realized the power of those rifles.
The combat effectiveness of these family alliance soldiers, they really look down on it.
However, they are clear about one thing.
If they were to play against the rifle team, their fate would be the same as that of the soldiers of the Family Alliance.
The power of the rifle is beyond the power of manpower!
And this makes them more and more pessimistic.
They are very afraid of one thing, that is, what if they do not have a chance to do it from beginning to end?
Haven't killed an enemy?
When you get old, what do you say to your sons and grandchildren?
Could it be that back then, grandpa followed the city lord to the west, and followed the riflemen all the way to watch the excitement? Haven't experienced a single battle? Haven't slashed an enemy?
It's too embarrassing, there is wood?
The battle in the city, of course, woke up the people of the Rising Sun City.
Many people trembled with fear.
The battle ended quickly, and the people didn't know what the situation was.
However, for the rest of the night, no one bothered them.
By the next day, they finally knew that the city of the Rising Sun had changed owners.
Now it is the people of Huaxia City who occupy the Rising Sun City.
When they heard the news, a small number of the people cheered.
Well, these cheerers are all Tang people, and they are coerced by the Family Alliance.
Tang people, naturally there is no one who does not know the king of Shu, Li Su.
Following the King of Shu, there is definitely more hope.
