Chapter 193: Total Annihilation
"As for mass production, of course you can."
"Yes!" Shang Xin was taken aback.
What does it mean to be able to mass produce? He didn't know it before, but when he saw the tragic situation of the thief army, he knew it too well.
With just a hundred rounds, 30,000 thieves were able to resist without resistance, and there were countless casualties, if there were more, the 150,000 thief army, no, there are not so many now.
That's not to say that you don't have to be afraid of them at all.
No wonder! No wonder Li Zhao didn't show fear in the face of a thief army a hundred times his size, it turned out that he still had such hole cards.
He was apprehensive when he came to Chang'an Township, but when he saw a series of terrifying weapons, he was relieved.
First there are underground explosions, then random strafing from machine guns, then corrosive liquids, and finally bombardable anti-aircraft guns, each of which can kill people.
Everything is terrifying, if you have these things, why not be afraid of not being able to hold Xianyang City, why not be afraid of these thieves.
"General Li" Shang Xin suddenly made a move, very respectful, "I hope you can mass-produce these things and defend Xianyang City, Shang Xin will definitely give you credit in front of Your Majesty." ”
Li Zhao laughed dryly.
Shang Xin didn't say that he would do it, but he was most worried about whether Qin Shi Huang would be afraid of these weapons, and once he was jealous, his fate would not be too good.
However, with the words of the celebrities around Qin Shi Huang, he was a lot more relieved.
"Don't worry, I'm already ready, now I'll wait for the thief army to besiege Xianyang City, at that time, hehe!"
Li Zhao sneered.
In the era of cold weapons, it was very difficult to rely on those weapons to fight hot weapons. Even if they have firearms.
"Alright, the thief army has been killed, let's get ready to watch a good show!"
Yes, anti-aircraft guns, although sharp, are only suitable for bombing, and when the thieves discover its weakness, there must be means of defense, and the natural casualty rate will be reduced.
At this moment, it is just killing tens of thousands of people, and more than 10,000 people are pouring towards this side, no, they have no way to retreat, only to come this way.
However, it is in the hands of Li Zhao.
The thieves retreated, and he couldn't destroy them all, but when they attacked, it was another matter.
When the thief army marched to the east, he had already arranged the defenses cautiously, these were only for the surprise attack of the thief army, of course, if they left, they would not need it, but the idea of daring to fight Chang'an Township was their death.
Shang Xin's eyes lit up.
He knew Li Zhao's arrangement, so to speak, there was a single weapon to destroy the thief in front, but here, it was exhaustive, and all the weapons went into battle together, which can be described as exciting.
"Withdraw!"
The villagers of Chang'an each picked up their anti-aircraft guns and immediately retreated, and disappeared into the dense forest at once.
Cao Yang was unrelenting.
Originally, 50,000 people, most of them died at once, and they knew that even if they set foot in Xianyang, they would no longer have any effect. In fact, Xiang Gong's order to him was to lead 50,000 troops to feign a siege at the south gate to attract the attention of the Xianyang defenders.
In other words, his mission is simple and safe, just surround it, but the safest place can achieve the worst encounter, which he can't imagine.
But things have happened, the losses have been formed, he can't recover everything, and he can only recover a little bit if he destroys Chang'an Township.
After all, with such an injury, Xiang Gong would not let him go.
The cause of all this is Chang'an Township, and he can't let go of Chang'an Township, even if he dies.
"Rush, both horizontal and vertical, kill them all, and avenge your brothers."
Cao Yang held his long sword high and shouted.
When everyone saw the people in Chang'an Township retreating, they thought they were afraid, and rushed forward one by one.
When the military advisor saw this scene, his heart hung up.
Although there are few people in Chang'an Township, they have terrifying weapons, and now they are retreating, it is impossible to be greasy here, and he is afraid that there will be underground explosions and liquid corrosion.
Then he cried out loudly:
"Stop, stop, retreat quickly, it's dangerous ahead."
After finishing speaking, he immediately caught up with Cao Yang and persuaded him sternly:
"General, don't chase it, I'm afraid there will be fraud!"
Cao Yang, who was already extremely angry, heard his words, shouting like this was to shake the heart of the army, he could tolerate it, without saying a word, the long sword was swung down, and the general division was stabbed under the sword, and he did not forget to give the military division a fierce look.
"Hugh wants to move the hearts of our army, it is obvious that the weapons in Chang'an Township have been exhausted, and it is a good time to kill them."
"Kill!"
Swinging his sword, the first one rushed forward.
The military advisor covered his body that was gushing with blood, looked ahead in despair, and said in despair, "A thief is always a thief, and the rebel army is ruined!" ”
After finishing speaking, he fell, and he was buried in Chang'an Township.
"Kill!"
"Their weapons have been exhausted, and it is time to kill them."
"Torch fire."
More than 10,000 people raised their firearms, and no matter what was in front of them, they fired them one by one, and then rushed into the dense forest.
It is full of thorns, weeds, and trees hanging low, and it is difficult to see what is in front of them, but they who are angry have taken care of so much there, and now they only have to kill Chang'an Township and avenge their dead brothers.
At the same time, there is also an idea that if you kill the villagers of Chang'an, maybe you can have an explanation in front of Xiang Gong, otherwise they will only die, both horizontally and vertically.
Killing is the right way.
When everyone rushed into the dense forest, what the thieves didn't know was that behind them, the Chang'an villagers walked out of a very secret place, looking at the dense forest where the top of the tree was constantly shaking, and they all showed their fierceness.
Without a fist, he clenched his fist, smashed it on the ground, swept it with one leg, and under the falling leaves, he exposed the pull line inside.
The others did the same, and suddenly, dozens of threads appeared in everyone's hands.
Li Zhao looked at it and asked, "That's all these mines?" ”
"Yes, there are only a few dozen left."
Li Zhao was stunned, "Dozens, enough, can the sulfuric acid be all over the dense forest?" ”
"It's all there, I'm afraid these people have already entered the area of sulfuric acid, just waiting to be corroded!" Wuquan raised his excited fist and rushed back and forth a few times, quite excited.
"Hmm!" Li Zhao was very satisfied with the boxless arrangement.
There were not many mines produced, almost exhausted in the north, but there was a lot of sulfuric acid, and only half was consumed in the west, so he asked Wuquan to bury half of them next to the mines, and half of them were scattered everywhere.
At this moment, the thieves rushed inside, as long as the next bombardment was carried out, it was conceivable what would happen to them.
"How many anti-aircraft shells are left, and how many machine-gun bullets are left?"
"Half of the bullets are gone, half of the shells are gone, but it's enough to kill these people." No punch response.
"Good!" Li Zhao's face turned cold, "Then let's start!" ”
"The machine guns stand back, and if there are any fish that slip through the net, shoot at me immediately, and not a single one will be left, and the anti-aircraft guns will come forward and bomb them so that my mother can't even recognize them."
"Yes!" As soon as they heard the order, the anti-aircraft guns were moved forward, and the people with machine guns immediately retreated and prepared to shoot.
"Launch!"
The small flag in Li Zhao's hand was fiercely knocked down, and suddenly, all the anti-aircraft gunners went into battle, and one by one the shells were put into the barrels, and a 'whoosh' shot into the air, and after a few breaths, a continuous roar sounded in the dense forest, and the screams echoed in the dense forest, which was very poignant.
"Explode the mines and let them all go to the sky!"
The pull line in the fistless hand pulled hard, and a louder explosion came out, accompanied by several screams, and others also pulled, and suddenly, the entire dense forest was filled with gunsmoke, booming, how many trees fell, fallen leaves turned to ashes, and stumps piled up, and the fate of the thief army can be imagined.
Half an hour later, there was no movement in the dense forest, and the only remaining tree tops no longer swayed, only the smell of artillery fire filled the entire space.
"Stop, stop wasting shells."
After the first bombardment, the number of anti-aircraft artillery shells was directly reduced by seventy percent, and there were not many of them in hand, and there were still 100,000 thieves whose whereabouts were unknown.
Looking at the dense forest again, it has been reduced to ruins, and it is really difficult to say whether there are still living thieves in it.
"No fist, immediately disperse everyone, surround the entire dense forest, if there are any remnants, arrest them and interrogate the whereabouts of the other thieves, and at the same time, do not let anyone escape."
"Also, don't enter the jungle at the moment, wait for me to get some clothes and accessories, and then I can enter and search every area."
The dense forest is sprinkled with sulfuric acid, which is difficult to clean up for a while, and if you enter it at this moment, it will definitely corrode, but if you wear special protective clothing, you can enter.
Sulfuric acid-resistant clothing is generally made of chemical fiber fabric, which is not available at the moment, but he can buy it in the system.
After exterminating 50,000 people, Chang'an Township is calm, but he doesn't dare to guarantee whether there will be any remnants, if there are, it will inevitably pose an unnecessary threat to the people of Chang'an Township, so it must be eliminated.
Soon, he purchased protective clothing from the system, and asked Wuquan to lead dozens of guards into the search, and an hour later, Wuquan came out to report.
The thieves are dead, and there is not a single living person in them.
Everyone breathes a sigh of relief, it's good that there are no living people, Chang'an Township is safe.
"But" added without punches, "the main general was not found." ”
Although the thief army is a rebel army, there is still a distinction, the biggest difference is the clothing, the general soldier clothing color is lighter, the leader is more distinct, the most conspicuous is the main general, people can see at a glance.
But just now, I didn't look for it based on the costume, and I didn't find the most conspicuous costume.
"The Lord?" Li Zhao's brow furrowed.
Someone next to him said: "Maybe it's dead, the sulfuric acid corrosion is too sharp, it must have been corroded, or maybe it was blown to pieces, and the natural clothes were also turned to ashes." ”
Many people nodded, this statement is very likely, such a terrifying bombardment, let alone a person, ants have to be crushed.
Li Zhao nodded, but he didn't care.
The three terrifying things are launched together, it is difficult to have a living person, of course, it is nothing if the main general really escapes, just one person, and it is not a threat to Chang'an Township.
At most, the weapons here are exposed, and the strike effect is not good, but so what, in front of absolute weapons, everything is in vain.
"Okay, the thief army is all wiped out, this is everyone's credit, steward, slaughter hundreds of golden birds today, reward everyone."
"But don't let your guard down yet, there are only 50,000 thieves who attacked Chang'an Township, and there are still 100,000 troops who don't know their whereabouts, steward, you immediately transfer your family property."
Because I believed in the power of weapons before, I didn't transfer my family wealth, but after today's battle, I almost exhausted everything and only destroyed 50,000 troops, if 100,000 troops came again, Chang'an Township had to escape, and it was necessary to transfer family wealth.
"Yes, young master!"
The butler immediately led the hundred people away.
"No fist, you lead the guards to strictly guard everywhere, if you find a thief army, you can fight it, if you can't fight it, you can retreat immediately, and you can't be strong."
Wuquan is killing the enemy, and he can't wait to come and kill more thieves, but the young master said so and agreed very unhappily.
"Yes!"
Li Zhao glanced at him angrily, then looked at Shang Xin, and said, "Father-in-law, there are still 100,000 thieves who don't know where to go, we have to rush back to Xianyang immediately and act at the opportunity." ”
"Of course, of course, let's leave immediately, presumably Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, and anger is inevitable, but General Li wiped out 50,000 thieves at once, and the merit is supreme, even if Your Majesty is angry, he will turn into happiness."
"The old slave will truthfully report to His Majesty about today's extermination of thieves, General Li, you are waiting to be rewarded!"
Shang Xin patted Li Zhao on the shoulder, smiling deeply.
Being able to witness the process of exterminating thieves today is unforgettable in his life, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that there was such a turn for the worse in Xianyang when it was critical, and he still participated, or said it through his mouth, he could think of how his status would improve.
Maybe from today onwards, his future will rise like the dead Zhao Gao.
"Thanks!" Li Zhao gave up his hand, but did not forget to add, "I hope my father-in-law will hide the matter of weapons." ”
"This." Shang Xin was a little embarrassed and really didn't know how to respond.
As far as these people in Chang'an Township destroyed 50,000 enemies, and did not lose a single person, this, how can this be concealed, unless Your Majesty does not ask, if he asks, what can he say, can it be said that the thief army will be killed with a few hundred people holding farm tools?
Your Majesty is not a fool.
And such a big thing must not be airtight, when it comes out, you can't hide it if you want to, and if you tell a lie, you will kill yourself.
"Shang Xin will be adaptable."
That's all he can say.
Li Zhao also knew that Shang Xin was in a dilemma, so he could only say: "I am tired of my father-in-law to hide it for a while, and when I take down the thief army, I will tell Your Majesty the truth." ”
This is also to give Shang Xin a step down.
Shang Xin smiled, showed a 'yes' expression to Li Zhao, and left.
I had planned to take the wrong path, but the thief army was wiped out, so there was no need for this.
Li Zhao did not stay, the whereabouts of the 100,000 troops were unknown, he had to return to the city immediately to defend it, and sent scouts to investigate, it was necessary to know himself and the enemy.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside, and then a soldier in armor stepped on his horse, looking very anxious.
"General, it's no good, the scouts have found the traces of the thief army and are heading for the east gate."
"East Gate?" Li Zhao was shocked.
The East Gate is the weakest gate of Xianyang's defense, not deliberately, but the East Gate is facing endless mountains, with countless cliffs and cliffs in the mountains, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to pass through them, let alone an army.
But it was surprising that the thief army appeared in that direction.
"How many are there?"
"One hundred thousand!"
"One hundred thousand?" Li Zhao's brows furrowed.
The road through Chang'an Township is the easiest way to reach Xianyang, but the thief army only dispatched 50,000 troops, most of which came through the moat, which required a lot of dangers, and generally the gains outweighed the losses.
But why would they do it?
Li Zhao couldn't figure it out at all, but this was not the time to think about this, he had to rush back to Xianyang as soon as possible to rearrange the arrangements.
"Let's go!"
Li Zhao looked for a horse and led the guards to ride away.
