Chapter 701: Seven Cities in a Row
If Li Su really wanted to attack the city, it would be just a matter of charging, and even so, there would not be many casualties. However, Li Su did not give the order to attack the city at the first time.
Instead, he ordered the great army to besiege the city, besiege but not attack.
More than 30,000 soldiers besieged the city.
For the three hundred soldiers defending the city, the pressure was incomparably great.
30,000 against 300, 100 against one.
Even a punch and kick from each person can kill them.
Where is it possible to live in this city defensively?
As for the people of the city, they were all East Slavs.
They were originally plundered by the people of the Family Alliance, and along the way, they were oppressed by the Family Alliance.
Of course, these Eastern Slavs were also educated by some family alliances, could speak a few words of Chinese, and could communicate with the Han people simply.
Now that the city is under siege, these Eastern Slavs in the city are in fear.
The doors of the houses were closed, and they were trembling with fear.
Although they also knew that if the besieging army outside was determined to kill, it was useless to close the door.
But somewhat, you can also seek a trace of psychological comfort.
But the defenders on the city walls could not find even the psychological comfort of this meaning.
There were quite a few soldiers, almost scared to pee.
Their legs trembled, and their hands trembled as they held their weapons.
Li Su ordered someone to take out a loudspeaker and shouted at the top of the city wall: "Listen to the defenders of the city, we are the army of Huaxia City, and you have been surrounded. If you want to live, lay down your arms, open the gates, surrender the city, and I can keep you from dying. β
"If not, when I give an order, this city will be broken in a flash, and when the time comes, it will be your time of death."
Well?
Can you still surrender and not kill such a person?
Hearing Li Su's words, the defenders on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
If you surrender and don't kill, that's fine!
These defenders, although there are dozens of them, are the descendants of the family alliance.
However, in fact, they are not so loyal as to sacrifice their lives for righteousness.
If they can surrender and not die, they will definitely not be stingy to surrender.
It's just that these people come from a family and always have some knowledge.
In everything, we want to seek greater good.
Even if it is a surrender, it is divided into three, six, nine and so on.
They also want to seek some conditions that are more favorable to them.
Thinking of this, a soldier of the Family Alliance couldn't help but say loudly: "If you want us to surrender, you also need to see if you have the strength to ......."
biu!
Before he could finish his sentence, a gunshot rang out from under the walls.
The soldier was shot in the forehead, revealing a deep bullet hole, and blood suddenly burst out.
The soldier's mouth was still wriggling, but it was silent, and his body fell backwards.
At this time, Li Su couldn't help sneering and said, "I don't know, is this strength enough?" β
In this world, thermal weapons are actually not the first time they have appeared.
When Li Su first arrived in Yizhou, he used hot weapons.
But the soldiers defending the city in front of them had never seen a thermal weapon.
I haven't even heard of it.
They didn't see anyone in the city firing arrows, and they had no idea where the attack was coming from.
But their robes, which had been a living person a moment ago, were now new, cold corpses.
This fear of the unknown is the great fear in the world.
Among the three hundred soldiers, many people were scared.
"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender! β
"We are willing to surrender, don't kill us!"
"Don't kill us, we're surrendering!"
When!
At the beginning, one of the soldiers, throwing away his weapon, smashed it on the ground with a crisp sound.
When! When!
Immediately after, the second, the third, more and more soldiers, lost their weapons.
These soldiers hurriedly threw down the city walls and opened the city gates.
Then they fell to their knees outside the gates, and fell on their knees, trembling.
In this city, Li Su led the army, and only fired one shot, and the other party obediently surrendered the city.
This made the three thousand suffocating their stomachs, and the rifleman, who was bent on making meritorious contributions, had a feeling of strength and nowhere to go.
And the more than 10,000 new troops, when they first entered the battlefield, were still very nervous.
There are many people, and cold sweat breaks out in the palms of their hands.
But I never expected that the war would be so easy.
It was effortless and easy to take a city.
This made them feel very excited, and at the same time, they also looked down on those family alliances even more.
Li Su did not rush into the city, but was outside the city and questioned the three hundred defenders.
Soon, Li Su learned that there were only these 300 defenders in the city.
Of the three hundred defenders, only a few dozen were descendants of the Family Alliance.
Li Su directly ordered the soldiers, pulled out the descendants of the dozens of family alliances, and beheaded them in public.
Next, Li Su entered the city and gathered the Eastern Slavs in the city.
Those Eastern Slavs, who had been persecuted by the Family Union for a long time, had lost their blood.
Everyone trembled, lest they be killed by the invaders.
However, soon, Li Sufu rescued them and issued a new decree.
Li Su promised them that in the future, they would belong to Huaxia City and become the people of Huaxia City.
Each of them can get at least five acres of land.
Each of them only needs to pay 10% of the income from these lands, and the rest of the grain belongs to themselves.
Next, Li Su also promulgated ten laws.
Anyone who violates these ten laws will be punished accordingly.
And as long as you don't break the law, you'll be fine.
These ten laws were selected by Li Su in advance.
In the future, Huaxia City will have laws, naturally it will not be so rough, and it can be summarized with ten laws.
But in front of these Eastern Slavs, the persecution of the Union of Conservative Families.
Among them, they are not even very proficient in Chinese, and this is the most terrifying moment in their hearts.
It is impossible for Li Su to be here again, reciting the laws of Huaxia City at length and on end.
Besides, do laws such as advertising law, copyright law, culture and other aspects have anything to do with them?
The ten laws selected by Li Su are concise and easy to understand.
It can also clearly explain the gist of the law of Huaxia City, so that they can understand what can be done and what cannot be done.
And those East Slavs, after listening to Li Su's explanation, really fearful, went to most of them.
They have been uprooted and suffered, and when they come here, it is clear that it is impossible to return to their homeland.
And following this city lord seems to be able to live a better life than if they followed the original family alliance.
Such a result can be said to be a blessing in misfortune for them, what are they not satisfied with?
Next, Li Su left a city lord and deputy city lord, five hundred soldiers, ten riflemen and bombardiers, and a number of bullets and gunpowder.
I believe that after this, this city, even if it is besieged by an army of 10,000 people, will be able to hold out for a while.
And here, only by the train station.
There is already a phone call here.
If the city were to be attacked, the news would be delivered quickly, and reinforcements would arrive in no more than a day.
At such a speed, this small city will not suffer too much danger.
For the low-level official positions in the city, Li Su even let the remaining city lords be the masters and select and appoint them from among these Eastern Slavs.
This move also made those Eastern Slavs feel the goodwill of the city lord, and they felt more and more that this time, they were really lucky and followed the right person.
After leaving behind, Li Su did not stay and continued to go to the second city.
This second city is seventy miles away from the first.
It was about the size of the first city.
For Li Su, this second city is actually just a hurry.
And here at the docks, there are more vehicles.
You know, when they first came to the Golden State, there was no such train track.
At that time, transportation was carried out entirely by car.
Although later there were train tracks, cars were transported for long distances, and gradually they were abandoned.
However, a large number of cars are still used for short-distance transportation.
Not to mention here, along the entire train track, there are various supply points and vehicles.
The midpoint position that Xue Rengui wants to go to is naturally no exception, and there are also some of them.
It is precisely because of these car transportation that they did not carry steel chariots when they came out this time.
By car, the journey of more than 70 miles can be reached in just over an hour.
The situation of this second city is not much different from that of the first.
They didn't meet with much resistance.
The difference is probably this time, just killing a few more people.
When several diehards on the city wall were shot and killed with guns.
The defenders of this city also announced their surrender.
After killing the soldiers of the family alliance as usual, and reading their laws to the Eastern Slavs who had been plundered in the city, there were a few cheers among the Eastern Slavs here.
It turned out that these East Slavs, by accident, had heard about Huaxia City.
Knowing that the Huaxia City Lord was extremely merciful.
Following Huaxia City, their lives will definitely be much better than those demons they originally followed.
On the map left by Zhao Da, there are only these two cities.
This is also because, near the dock, the territory that Zhao Da can patrol is only so big.
Outside these two cities, the news of the family alliance, they don't know.
And Li Su could only get these news from the newly captured town.
Soon, Li Su obtained a map of the nearby Saga Alliance's sphere of influence from these surrendered soldiers.
There are no big cities around these two small cities, and there are five small cities around them.
Next, Li Su didn't stop, sat in a car, and quickly rushed to these five small cities.
Then at night, these five cities also completely belonged to Huaxia City.
In one day, without much effort, seven cities were connected.
The soldiers led by Li Su spent a whole day, and even except for those few snipers, the other soldiers didn't even get a chance to do it.
I have to say that it is too easy to fight with the city lord.
It's just a feeling, a little unpleasant.
Especially those riflemen, who have been training for a long time.
But never shot in real combat.
They are full of desire to live in this war.
But I never expected that the enemy would be so weak.
They even want to make the enemy tougher.
Because it's so unchallenging to win the enemy like this.
However, as the coach, Li Su was not carried away by the victory.
Because before the battle, Li Su clearly realized that these enemies were all paper tigers and were vulnerable.
This situation is really normal.
Tomorrow, though, they will meet the first challenge they will face in their campaign.
Tomorrow, in front of them, there will be the first big city of the Saga Alliance.
The population of this city is more than 100,000.
The defenders inside were as many as 3,000 men.
Well, three thousand defenders, it really doesn't sound like much.
After all, the army brought by Li Su was as many as 30,000 people.
Ten times the enemy's strength, it is not difficult to take the city.
But three thousand defenders, for the Family Alliance, is really a big city.
Because, how many cities are built here in the Golden State by the entire family alliance?
Over the years, they have been constantly laying out.
In the past year, they have plundered countless people and countless resources.
With abundant population and resources, they are expanding like crazy.
Thousands of cities were built.
If a city had a thousand men left, they would need millions of troops.
So, does the Saga Alliance have an army of several millions?
The answer is definitely no.
They were able to put together hundreds of thousands of troops, which was already their limit.
However, in these cities, they must also keep their descendants behind.
If not, there may be a coup d'Γ©tat in this city.
However, there are not many troops cultivated by the Saga Alliance itself.
Now that so many cities have been built in one go, where can they share the people?
Therefore, those small cities, in each city, there are only a few dozen of their soldiers.
For example, such a big city of 100,000 people, with 3,000 guards, is already an outlier.
Because other cities of this size probably only have about a thousand defenders.
There is a saying that people's hearts are not enough for snakes to swallow elephants.
It is just right to put it on the Saga Alliance.
With their strength, there is actually no way to swallow the entire Golden State in one bite.
But the opportunity is so rare that they simply don't care that they don't have that much appetite.
swallowed up the entire Golden State alive.
This also gave Li Su various opportunities to break through.
The strength of the Family Alliance was originally inferior to Huaxia City.
And now, they are infinitely dispersing their own strength.
In this way, it gives Huaxia City a chance to break through.
