With the help of railways and existing highways, Li Wenbu arrived in the surrounding areas of Jing County in the afternoon of the same day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info scouts have already begun to be released, and follow-up troops are arriving here one after another.

It has been nearly a year since Jing County seceded from the Republic, but it is still almost empty. With the establishment of the Republic, a small number of people have returned to live here, and in the final analysis, they are still worried about being implicated by the Republic.

The imperial court did encourage some families to come and purchase land, and even find a way to relocate some refugees here. It took a year of hard work to bring the place back to life a little.

"The people here are hiding in their homes, and it seems that they have realized that something is wrong! The city gate has been closed on the Jingcheng side, and it seems that it is ready to defend! Yang Lang contacted the scouts around him through the walkie-talkie, and then explained the general situation to several other generals.

"Send someone over and let them open the door and surrender! There weren't a few people left, so there was no need to kill! Li Wen sighed and said to Yang Lang.

About ten minutes later, the communicator had already transmitted the latest news: Jing County Commander did not intend to surrender!

"What was it that gave him this courage? Defend the country, or are you afraid that even if you surrender, you may be killed by us? Li Wen couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Can Momen's intelligence help?" Xu Shu looked at Yang Lang.

"If you have to say it, you can! However, the Führer had instructed that it would be better to use the intelligence system of the Republic during the war in the future...... It's a pity that this system hasn't been set up yet! Yang Lang replied.

"How much information can be provided at the moment?" Li Wen asked beside him.

"It's going to take some time!" Yang Lang couldn't answer immediately, and if he wanted to go through Momen's intelligence system, he needed to contact the people of Momen.

"An hour?" Li Wen asked.

"It should be possible!" Yang Lang nodded and quickly left.

The staff system of the republic was mainly established on the basis of various kinds of intelligence. The time and place are favorable, the enemy's specific intelligence, our army's intelligence, third-party intelligence that is very likely to appear, and even fourth-party intelligence.

Ten staff officers, under the command of the deputy chief of staff, made deductions based on this information. All staff officers have textbook-level strategic ability, and the key is actual combat, but fortunately, they are dealing with an opponent who can easily handle it. The purpose of Li Wen's request for information is to enable the staff officers to get better training.

This kind of opponent, even if there is a mistake, will not cause harm to the army, it is too suitable for them to accumulate experience. The key is that the baggage troops and the engineering troops are still rushing here, and they also need to wait.

"Got the news!" Yang Lang returned to the army after half an hour, "The county commander Shi Chong is Zhu Zhi's brother-in-law, and he is considered his own person, but the county lieutenant is from the Wei clan of Wu County!" The Wei family has bought a lot of land here, and is worried that we will take away this land, and plans to defend the city, and has already asked for help! ”

"How many troops are there in Jing County, do you ever know?" Li Wen nodded and continued to ask.

"Originally, there were only fifty people, and the possibility of the county lieutenant being temporarily recruited and recruited by the young and strong cannot be ruled out!" Yang Lang replied.

"Hey! I said, what are you worried about here? It's just such a dilapidated city, not to mention anything else, my old pawn took fifty people and smashed the gate open, and then you can enter directly through the gate! Dian Wei suddenly interjected.

His hammermen, each with a sledgehammer in their hands, were designed to break armor and destroy fortifications. The usual fortifications and hoplites, completely vulnerable to his hammermen. Slow attack and movement speed are shortcomings, but they are also flaws.

The gate of Jing County is not big, five meters high and three meters wide, it is not a problem to stand five or six heavy hammer soldiers, one person and one hammer down, maybe it can really be directly smashed open this wooden door.

Li Wenyan looked at the General Staff, and the latter quickly replied: "No problem!" ”

"Then try it! Anbang, you come to cover the evil! Li Wen nodded and looked at Chen Tao.

Evil is the word Li Yu gave to Dian Wei, and the "violation" of "Wei" is also, and the word "evil" is a bit vigilant. The main reason is that if the evil comes to change the word, Li Yu will be a little unaccustomed to it, and he also hopes that he can become the evil of the ancients.

"Yes!" Chen Tao nodded and motioned for the crossbow troops to start advancing.

The Burst Crossbow has been upgraded to version 2.0, and compared to the previous version 1.0, the addition of an arrow magazine allows 20 bolts to be fired in bursts, increasing the range by 20%, and increasing the weight of the crossbow body by only 10%. The pulley block is used to reduce the difficulty of winding, and the two purposes of winding and excitation are completed by using the tie rod instead of setting the bracket. Instead of a bayonet, each crossbowman is equipped with a dagger to defend himself.

This is the result of imitating the structure of the repeater in the "Wubei Zhi", as for what is the situation of the Zhuge repeater in history, Li Yu has no information in this regard, so he can only rely on Lin Ming to explore it himself, but the research value is not great. Before the musket technology was fully mature, this repeater was already the ultimate long-range individual weapon! Even if it is fully equipped with firearms, it will still be the favorite of special forces, after all, there will be no sound and fire when shooting in the dark, which is very suitable for sneak attacks!

As for the historical Zhuge crossbow, it seems to be a defensive weapon, and Ma Jun is also a large individual weapon after transformation, purely as a large weapon, artillery is the mainstream of future development, so Li Yu and Lin Ming don't value it.

The crossbow troops began to move forward, and within firing range, the soldiers in the front row began to raise their crossbows and aim them at the defenders on the wall. This distance to the head of the wall, at least more than 200 meters. In terms of the range of the Han standard bow and arrow, it may not be able to shoot if it is thrown. But the crossbow troops can shoot and even break through a thin layer of iron armor!

The soldiers of the first row, under the command of the officers, quickly fired at the soldiers on the city wall. It's like aiming at a fixed target, it's very easy. In one shot, at least a dozen heads were inserted with crossbow arrows.

"Why do you cling to some real estate when you don't have any ability?" Li Wen remembered what Li Yu said: "Save people and lose land, and people and land will be saved!" Saving land and losing people, losing people and land! ”

Through the binoculars, he clearly looked at the situation on the city wall, and could tell that those who were shot above were the defenders of Jing County, not the people. Chen Tao, who is also observing with a telescope, should also be able to see it.

Under the suppression of the crossbow arrows, the other party did not dare to show his head, and some people just showed their heads, and after a while, the crossbow bolts were nailed to his forehead. If you're lucky, you'll shoot the helmet off his head, but that's not a good feeling.

Dian Wei's hammer soldiers had already run to the city gate, and seeing that the enemy troops on the city wall had been suppressed, he simply arranged five or six people on the left and right, and two people in the middle, and smashed them towards the gate.

Later, I felt that this was not enjoyable, so I ran over directly, picked up two hammers and smashed them violently. After a short time, the hinges on both sides of the gate were smashed open, and the gate naturally collapsed.

"No wonder Yuan first wants to form a heavy hammer army, I have to say that even if this army is used as siege equipment, it is all proper! Okay, Yuan Zhi, it's up to you! Seeing this, Li Wen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but he didn't forget to give the order.

Xu Shu's tiger and leopard rode the order, rushed out as soon as possible, and entered the city in a short time. Under their opening path, the army entered the city in a mighty way, and took control of the county seat of Jingxian in less than half an hour.

The county lieutenant of Wei committed suicide, and the county order was not much better, and when Li Wen and the others found him, the latter's body was already stiff. Obviously, the county commander was planning to surrender when he saw the autonomous region sending troops. The county lieutenant didn't let it, but he didn't expect to kill the county commander because of it. Behind the county government, Zhu Zhi's sister and Shi Chong's son Shi Ran had nothing to do, and after Li Wen's mediation and appeasement, they were sent to Zhu Zhi's house in China.

"Inform the head of state and send someone to take over Jing County, the next thing we want to go to is Wanling, the seat of Danyang County! As long as this place is brought down, it will not be difficult to deal with several other counties! Li Wen looked at Yang Lang.

The latter nodded, and immediately went down and got up and running. Thirty minutes later, Li Yu, who was sitting in Taoyuan County, received news from the front line. At this time, he had just dealt with the planning of welfare measures, and the construction still needed to be carried out, and he was about to rest, but he did not expect that Li Wenbu would take the lead in making contributions among the three road troops.

However, their first target is Jing County, and it is not surprising that they can hit here so quickly!

"Jing County didn't surrender at the first time?" Li Yu asked strangely, the population is so small, and the defenders are not much, so they don't surrender like this, is it too much to underestimate his troops?

"According to the information reported, the main thing is that the county lieutenant is reluctant to Wei's real estate in Jing County, so he organized this city defense, and it can only be said that he is a qualified guard dog!" This time the information was sent by Lin Ming personally, and he replied when he heard the words.

"That's how the Maison is...... Tell Li Wen that all the families who resist will have all their family property confiscated without any compensation! Those who do not resist will be redeemed at the market price for their land! Damn, I only bought it once a few years ago, and now I have to redeem it again! "Li Yu is a little unhappy, after all, it's all money!

"When the people have money, won't they spend it in the republic? The key problem is that now that the output is gradually increasing, and the republic is also frantically opening workshops, one day the product will depreciate, and the key is that the copper money will be insufficient and appreciate, so that we will lose a lot! Lin Ming was more worried about other issues.

"I'll deal with this problem, it's not a big problem! I just want to know if the five steel guns that have been newly manufactured can be used! Li Yu doesn't plan to discuss this topic now, even if he is actually aware of the problem.

"This kind of cannon steel has been improved three times, but the problem is that the technology is not mature enough, which is difficult for me to cook without rice. However, it is much better than the copper cannon that was tried to be made, but it is still a bit troublesome to draw rifling by hand, and the flowering shell technology needs to be improved! To put it simply, I need three more machines! Lin Ming immediately applied.

"I will give you a supplement, continue to experiment with smokeless gunpowder formulas, as much cotton as you want!" Li Yu said solemnly.

"Cotton is completely sufficient, but ******** and its raw materials are in short supply, how about opening a few more mines when you have time?" Lin Ming immediately complained.

"We don't have enough people!" Of course, Li Yu wants to open a mine, but the population can't go up, and it's not good to waste it on mining.

"How about purchasing from Jiangbei Shijia?" Lin Ming didn't know that this proposal would create a secret channel for ore smuggling for more than 20 years. (To be continued.) )
