Chapter 35: Blitz on the Western Continent
A few days later, something happened in Yingchuan County that shocked the world.
When Cao Cao went to Yingchuan Academy to recruit talents, he was assassinated outside the academy.
More than a dozen anti-materiel sniper rifles opened fire at the same time, killing several of Cao Cao's guards, and the rest of the attacks were blocked by Xiahou Chun, and Cao Cao was not harmed at all.
At this point, Zhao Xin had already been mentally prepared, and he didn't feel that he could successfully assassinate Cao Cao, but had other intentions.
After missing a blow, he was thousands of miles away.
They had already dug tunnels at the firing point, and there were many mechanisms in the tunnels.
After a volley of anti-materiel sniper rifles, they directly pulled the mechanism, and everyone instantly fell into the tunnel, and a boulder appeared above, blocking the entrance to the tunnel.
Xiahou Chun needed to protect Cao Cao closely, and he couldn't get out. The remaining Xiahou Yuan is very strong, but dozens of mechanisms have appeared in the secret passage, and even many forks have been dug out, and the assassin's figure cannot be found after a delay.
Zhao Xin escaped from the pursuers and successfully escaped with the help of the organs.
After another period of time, he contacted the intelligence department to spy on the secret and got the information he wanted.
"Sure enough, Cao Cao and Sima have secretly got into a relationship! It was Cao Cao who was calculating us before! Li Xuan looked at the news that came back, and his heart was awe-inspiring.
Xu Chu was besieged at Sima and was wounded by a poisoned arrow. The kind of poison he planted was called "the poison that eats bones", and it is difficult to completely eradicate it.
Because this toxin invades the bone marrow, it can devour the marrow blood of the injured person, and it keeps replicating, just like a virus!
Nanhua Old Immortal made a move, and he had already extracted a lot of bone-eroding poison from Xu Chu's body, and he had smeared it on the bullet before.
Cao Cao had a guard general who was wounded by a bullet and was poisoned by a bone-eroding poison, and he jumped alive within a few days, what does this mean?
Cao Cao has an antidote!
"This damn Cao Apu is not a son of man!" Li Xuan scolded a few words.
It's just that...... You robbed Cao Cao's Yanzhou and captured Dian Wei, and Cao Cao was not allowed to retaliate?
After Li Xuan scolded a few words, there was a helpless look in his eyes.
Although he was eager to immediately send troops to destroy Cao Cao, the Tang Empire was still digesting Yanzhou.
Although the modern army has a thousand benefits, it is still under great pressure on logistics and supply. Yanzhou's road facilities have not been repaired, logistics and supplies cannot keep up, and it has been unable to expand externally for a long time.
On the contrary, in the Tang world, the imperial court has begun to mobilize nationwide, conscripting 20 million soldiers, and waging a war to unify the world!
This time, it is necessary to unify the Datang world, create a stable rear, and enhance the war potential of the Datang Empire while eliminating worries.
Datang World, Western Continent.
More than two dozen ironclad ships rode the wind and waves, and landed with soldiers laden with soldiers.
These ironclad ships, some of which have a displacement of only a thousand tons, and some of which have a displacement of seven or eight thousand tons, are loaded with large and small artillery, and are the most powerful war machines in the world!
It's not that Li Xuan doesn't want to build the kind of dreadnought with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, it's just that the industrial revolution of the Tang Empire has only been going on for more than ten years, and the shipbuilding technology can't keep up.
Moreover, it is difficult for steel battleships to get up early, and it will take two or three years for an ironclad ship to do so.
The power of the Tang Dynasty and the steel fleet built in more than ten years are all here.
Fortunately, this fleet is invincible in the Datang world, and the navies of other countries are still wooden-hulled ships, at most equipped with some steel gunboats of several hundred tons.
The ironclad ship docked, and steam tanks drove from the ship to land, along with 30,000 elite troops.
In the crowd, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Guo Jia looked at the army with uniform steps, and there was a slight surprise in their eyes.
"Ironclad ships and tanks are really extraordinary in terms of the power of science and technology. If you don't consider those top generals and scribes, against the ordinary armies of our world, it will almost be a crushing effect! Guo Jia sighed.
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "This time, the Tang Empire marched westward with the strength of the whole country to launch a war to unify the world. The three of us came here for internships to get used to the rhythm of modern warfare. The main task is to be responsible for controlling the Shenxing Array and helping the army to hurry. β
The western continent is very large, but the Tang Empire attacked the state of Chu before and ceded 8 million square kilometers of land. Later, LΓΌ Bu suffered another disaster in the Western Continent, and several countries such as the Song State took the initiative to offer their land, asked the Tang Empire for protection, and obtained another 5 million square kilometers of land.
The territory of 13 million square kilometers is enough for the Tang Empire to gain a foothold, and there is no need to fight a landing war.
Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su, all three of them have reached the level of first-class scribes, and it is still very easy to manipulate the formation.
With the blessing of the formation, these more than 30,000 new troops ran at a rapid speed, traveling 2,000 miles a day, and the capital of a country was captured.
Before the countries on the Western Continent could even react, the enemy had already hit under the national capital, with a salvo of tanks and a bombardment of airships, and few countries were able to hold out.
The capital was captured, coupled with the continuous arrival of the Tang Empire's army, 20 million troops, which is a desperate number, and many countries have chosen to surrender.
Of course, this battle seems to be easy, but in fact, the price paid by the Tang Empire is huge.
Recruiting 20 million troops, not to mention the logistics supplies and armaments consumed for the time being, more importantly, there is no heaven and earth aura in the Datang world, and if you want to move the formation in this world, you can only use those heavenly and earth treasures to supplement the aura consumption!
The Tang Empire's blitzkrieg on the Western Continent took more than half a year before and after, but the amount of heavenly and earthly treasures consumed was enough to train five or six second-rate generals!
The battle on the front line was in full swing, and inside Li Xuan's palace, he looked excitedly at the origin of the surge.
"Now that the Western Continent has not been completely unified, it has already contributed 50,000 origins to me. After occupying the entire Western Continent, it is estimated that 30,000 Origin will be added! β
"There are four continents in this world, the southern continent and the northern continent are sparsely populated, and they are still in the tribal era, uncivilized, and it is much less difficult to rule, and they can also contribute a little bit to me."
"It's time to strengthen again, this time I'm going to break through the Martial Saint realm!"
The entry of soul cultivation into the realm requires comprehension of the law, and Li Xuan has not yet comprehended the subtlety of the law, even if he has a golden finger, he can't add points.
On the contrary, in terms of martial arts cultivation, with the help of the huge national fortune and the sympathy of heaven and man, he sensed the existence of a hole in the entrance, and he could consume the origin to open this acupoint and step into the realm of martial saints!
Li Xuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated, communicating the Tianwei Gate in his mind.
[The entrance has been opened, the origin -20000!] Jing +20, Qi +20! γ
Once this acupuncture is opened, it is much easier to sense and open up other acupuncture points, which also marks Li Xuan's breakthrough to the realm of martial saints!
