The age of firearms is different from the age of cold weapons, and it is largely about luck. No one can guarantee www.biquge.info that when you will really be shot by stray bullets when you lie down.

Not to mention artillery, I don't know how many died in one shot, and there have been cases before where one shot wiped out the entire command headquarters.

Many generals don't actually like thermal weapons, and it makes them feel like all those years of hard work have been in vain. The appearance of alchemy made them breathe a sigh of relief. With today's firearms technology, the strong people who have cultivated to the internal strength stage are almost able to resist, and even the artillery may not be able to hurt them.

In this case, the one who can kill them naturally has to be a body refiner who is armed with a divine weapon and has a similar cultivation.

Gao Ran's gun was actually a fluke, relying on a sharp weapon that only this high-ranking officer could equip with. Even if this thing was able to penetrate the body of a peak refiner with external strength, let alone Gao Ran's full strength, he shot it with all his might, and then it pierced through the throat of the vulture bone.

The latter looked at Gao Ran in disbelief, knowing that ordinary weapons, even if they hit with all their might, might not be able to hurt him. It is this self-confidence that will lead him to the forefront of the battlefield. Who knew that the enemy general was despicable and shameless, jumping around like a flea, and under one shot, he was actually assassinated like this.

"Unwilling to ......" the vulture bone shouted three words with difficulty, and then slowly collapsed.

Gao Ran pulled out the head of the gun, looked at the corpse of the vulture bone, and muttered in a low voice: "On the battlefield, either you die or I die, there is nothing to be unwilling ......"

Originally, he was a commander-type general, and the vulture bone didn't need to think about it to know that he was a fierce general-type general, and the opponent's strength far exceeded his own, so in this case, he had to fight against his own weaknesses and local advantages, unless he was stupid.

On the contrary, the vulture did not avoid his weakness, but attacked one by one, which gave him the opportunity to assassinate. In the final analysis, it is simply the death of the vulture bones, no wonder others!

Three days later, Gao Ran successfully captured Shengxiu County and the surrounding counties, including Jianning County and Dianchi County. The county guard was captured, and this one, who didn't seem to have much backbone, quickly surrendered. According to the rules, he could temporarily take the post of county warden until a new county warden took office, and then he would go to the rear to study for a few years, and finally decide on a new position based on his talent.

The first branch of Chen Tao's department quickly came to take over, and at the same time told Gao Ran that the engineering troops would arrive within three days, and the road on the Xiniu side had already begun to be built, and the engineering troops would also build the road from this side to the Xiniu side after surveying and demarcating the line in Shengxiu County, until it was connected with several surrounding county towns.

Gao Ran also received a new task, that is, to take down all the counties and counties such as Guchang (that is, Kunming City in the later generations), Kunze, Qinzang, Tonglao and Wudan, or directly go over to surrender the other party. To put it simply, it is based on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and all the places south of it are defeated, and with this natural danger, the troops of the Han Empire are blocked.

Not only them, but Xu Sheng, who went to attack Qiqi County, also received a similar order. At this time, he had already defeated Yelang, and after waiting for the arrival of the engineering troops, he would continue to advance to the east, attacking Wuyu in the east and Jilan in the northeast.

Fang Jian's side was a little more troublesome, in fact, the south of Yongchang was really a wild place, they were cleaning up the smoke miasma while traveling west, and they didn't know how many poisonous insects and beasts they encountered along the way, and the soldiers were killed more than 30 people, and they advanced more than 100 miles. Finally, he temporarily settled in Pu'er City, and at the same time, the engineering team also built the road along this road.

Tens of thousands of people are divided into five roads, but as long as the raw materials are enough, the speed of building the road is very fast. These engineering units are all proficient and are elites drawn from all over the Chinese Republic. A road may be slower to build from one end, and after being divided into three or four sections, it is naturally a lot faster, but the key is that so much manpower has been invested, and the speed is not fast.

At the same time, another group of young men and women, in response to the call of the country, came to open up wasteland and build cities, and similar migrations have not been rare in the past five years. The first people to settle in Keelung and Kagoshima are living very well, and occasionally come back with the ship to visit their relatives.

In their native lands, they are just outcasts or hillbillies, but in foreign countries, although they are more wild, they are real people. The key is that the land policy is good, and the house is villa-level, which is unthinkable in the local area.

In addition, when the Chinese Republic publicized and appealed, it was clearly stated that it was a voluntary principle, so during the five years of migration, there was no mood of resistance. At most, some people couldn't stand the remoteness of the place, so they came back, but the vast majority of them took root in the local area, and the proportion was also expected by Li Yu and others.

Compared with five years ago, the four counties of Jingnan and Jiaozhou have become much more prosperous, mainly because their popularity has increased a lot. In particular, Panyu City, as a port city in the south, is also the only city with a railway, and the prosperity here is even more prosperous than many coastal cities, with a large number of cargo ships coming over every day, and a large number of cargo ships leaving the port.

Improved sanitation has reduced the fear of the wild southern region. People have a bit of an adventurous spirit, especially the government said that the explorers will hold 10% of the shares of the mineral deposits explored in the south, and if they invest in mining, the government will also give policies and benefits, and invest a part of the funds, and finally only occupy 30% of the shares.

However, there are several minerals that belong to the scope of the state's monopoly, mainly the four metals of gold, silver, copper, iron, and coal, which are not only controlled by the state, but also mainly purchased by the state.

After another five days or so, news came from Li Wen's side that he had defeated the county administration of Yunnan County and was further attacking the territory south of the Yangtze River, including the Dukou City that Li Yu had confessed that it must be defeated, that is, Panzhihua City in the future! Panzhihua Iron Ore is the most important mineral deposit in the southwest, and Li Yu will naturally not let it go!

Steel is needed to build railways, even locomotives and even carriages. With the advent of steel bars, even many newly built houses began to use reinforced concrete structures, and six- and seven-storey buildings are not uncommon today.

With the improvement of steel-smelting technology, steel production has risen, but iron ore is becoming more and more scarce. The Central Plains has been developed for a period of time, and the quality of the ore is not high, and the output is naturally not large. Nowadays, the main source of steel in the Chinese Republic is mainly from Hainan's iron ore, and if Panzhihua iron ore can be developed, it will be a good result.

So Li Wen stayed in Yunnan County for more than ten days, until he really knocked down Panzhihua City, and then slowly advanced towards the north of Yongchang County. At the same time, Chen Tao's troops immediately gathered in this direction, coordinated with the border troops, and quickly took over the defense south of the Yangtze River.

In this way, it completely cut off all the passages from the Han Empire to Yongchang County! The entire Yongchang County is already isolated, and the tens of thousands of troops in it have become a lone army!

At this point, Li Wen is not in a hurry, the guard general Meng Wei who was put back earlier will tell Meng Shu about the situation here, right? In this way, the generals over there will naturally understand what their situation is! Wait for yourself! The longer you wait, the stronger the feeling of isolation and helplessness will be, and the lower and lower your sanity will be!

The army slowly advanced towards Yongchang County, almost with great fanfare. Earlier, with Meng Wei returning to Meng Huo's side, he naturally brought back the news that Yunnan and Jianning County had been breached.

Seeing that the enemy army was slowly coming, the news naturally spread widely. Many soldiers from the north wanted to go back, and Meng Shu also realized that if he continued, he was afraid that his army might collapse directly without the need for the enemy to fight.

In desperation, he could only solemnly announce to the 10,000-strong army under his command: "From now on, go north to fight and open up all the roads to the north!" Anyway, we have no way out, whether we live or die, and take a risk! ”

Perhaps this was indeed the last resort, and the soldiers were obviously aware of it, but the morale did increase. The only problem is that they are alone, and it is almost impossible to get reinforcements from behind. Otherwise, if the north and south are flanked, how can the enemy not break through?

Two days later, a letter came to Li Wen's hand, which was Meng Huo's invitation to fight, agreeing to fight outside Bonan County, Yongchang County. There is a plain outside Bonan County, and it is also a rare plain around, which is just the right place to set up troops to fight.

There is no dense vegetation here, at most there are some scattered trees, which have been leveled and cut down a lot due to the construction of roads, which is very suitable for the battlefield of decisive battles.

Of course, Li Wen also knew this, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to invite the battle in this situation. At this moment, there are less than 5,000 soldiers with him, and it is inevitable that there will be various losses along the way, and it is impossible to ensure that 5,000 people are intact.

Five thousand against ten thousand, it looks like he's clearly on the underdog's side. However, since the age of firearms, the number of people seems to have become less important. Not to mention, he is now in the late stage of dark energy, and then he entered the peak, and with the help of an opportunity, he directly entered the period of transformation.

Li Wen's martial arts talent is also undoubted, not only is he born with divine power, but his martial arts talent is also very high. When he was a child, he laid a good foundation, and after improving the "Five Birds Refining Body Technique", he naturally made rapid progress, breaking through the dark energy period in ten days, and after five years, he felt that the progress was a little too slow!

"Go back and tell your general, just say that this invitation battle, I, Li Wen, will be next!" Li Wen put down the letter, said directly to the messenger sent by Meng Shu, paused, and continued, "By the way, I also told him that if he is willing to submit, my Huaxia Republic will definitely treat Nanzhongman well, even if he doesn't think about himself, he should think about his own people, right?" ”

Of course, the messenger would not say anything, but wrote down these words, and then went back to report the matter to Meng Shu.

"Brother, look ......" Meng Wei was a coarse person, and he had already begun to shake when he heard the words.

"Needless to say, since Meng has returned to the Han Empire, he will naturally not vote for the Chinese Republic again!" Meng Shu is stubborn, in fact, he doesn't know that this is a divisive plan? However, the other party is playing Yangmou, which makes it difficult for him!

In the end, it can only be demanded that this news be blocked, and at the same time prepare for a decisive battle. Otherwise, if those supervisors in the army and those non-commissioned officers in the north know about this, they are afraid that they don't have to fight, and they will directly bomb the camp!
