Section 1716 Victory

Li Congyang's words really made the people of the Southern Empire very angry. Even if your army is powerful, you don't need to say that. Fifty of you can defeat thousands of us? This is simply impossible. There are twenty of us. Li Cong seemed to feel that they had not been stimulated, and then said, "His Royal Highness, Uncle Emperor, each of our people is actually very capable. You can Randomly pick out fifty of these people, and I will definitely use the people who jumped out of you." Li Cong said with a smile, although the emperor still had a smile on his face, he couldn't wait to go up and talk to Li Cong. Fighting, this is not a competition, it hasn't even started yet, they gave me a face, if it starts, they don't know what will happen, but Uncle Huang and the others are angry in their hearts, they still feel that Li Cong Bragging is more powerful. It is impossible to defeat twenty times as many enemies. Even with a chain crossbow, they are like this. They have no possibility of killing their cavalry at all. Ten people can solve it. Suddenly, Uncle Huang thought of a problem. He smiled. Li Cong must have made a mistake in his calculation. To fail.

The savages have no armor all over their bodies. Fighting against them is naturally a series of angry worlds, but the soldiers of the Southern Empire are completely different. You must know that the soldiers of the Southern Empire are all wearing armor. These armors It's not so easy to be shot through by you. Thinking of this, the smile on Uncle Huang's face became even bigger. Li Cong and the others were also puzzled. Why is Uncle Huang not afraid that they will lose at this moment? This behavior seems to be wrong.

Uncle Huang and the others naturally couldn't help but choose fifty people, but they also saw that Li Cong had just clicked casually and came over a team of hundreds of people. They were called by Li Cong when they were training. All the people immediately dropped their training weapons and put on all their combat clothing.

"Everyone, you are a very ordinary soldier in our quick reaction force. Now you are going to complete a very ordinary thing. Have you seen the people behind me? Those are our friends from the Southern Empire. Their army wants to Let's discuss with you, and everyone will show their true skills. Let me tell you, this is not for me to perform, but for yourselves. You have also seen the weapons in your hands, the sword has no eyes. Want to live Those who come down must take out all the things they have trained, otherwise you may die without a place to die. Of course, as long as you can survive, you will be promoted to a higher level immediately, two thousand per person A bounty of gold coins." Li Cong first threatened them severely, and then lured them with a lot of money, and each of the fifty soldiers looked at the soldiers of the Southern Empire viciously, as if these people were already the ghosts of his sword It's over. The guards from the Southern Empire who had already assembled were a little scared. The results of the morale battle had already come out before the two sides entered the battlefield. There seemed to be no comparison between the soldiers of the Southern Empire and the Northern Empire. When a tiger meets a sheep, the result is easy to imagine.

Soon, all the armies participating in the battle from both sides were already standing where they needed to fight. About half a million soldiers from the Northern Empire and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Southern Empire were all watching the game everywhere. This is not just a match between two empires, it can even be said that this is a confrontation between the old and the new armies. His victory or defeat can definitely affect the mainland for hundreds of years or even longer.

The confrontation between the heavy cavalry and the strong cavalry has been controversial for a long time, and in the end both arms have survived, because no one can tell which army is the most powerful. Even the most senior military strategists of the two countries cannot tell, so these two military branches have been preserved, and it is the same now. They all say that in a society with serial crossbows, there is no need for other armies to appear. The army still believes that it is impossible for fifty serial crossbowmen to defeat their former Imperial Forest Army. No matter how powerful this army is, it is impossible, because the disparity in numbers is too great. It is impossible for them to have the strength of a pair of twenty.

"The people of the Northern Empire are really overbearing this time. I really don't know how they did it. They actually put forward such a condition. I heard that the regent of the Northern Empire is very confident in this army, but this If the confidence is blind, I don’t think it’s a good thing.” A general of the Southern Empire whispered to several people next to him, none of them can be regarded as the elite of the Southern Empire, they are all cheering guys off the field, but in this way they They are also not optimistic about the army of the Northern Empire. They think they are too arrogant. If 1000 is against 1000, they will not watch it directly, because they will definitely fail, but sometimes this difference in quantity can also cause changes in quality. Yes, at this moment they believe in this quantitative gap.

"Hehe, this is not something we have to consider. The Royal Forest Army is definitely the most powerful army in our Southern Empire. Since the regent of the Northern Empire is willing to use fifty soldiers to destroy them, I think he will definitely have his own army. As for what they do, that’s not something we have to consider. By the way, there’s an outside gambler over there. It’s said that the regent is in charge. If you buy the Northern Empire, you’ll get fifteen for one loss. Buy us Only one pays three." The officer saw that there was no way to get through, and the periphery was strange to say, mother, it was open to the soldiers of the Southern Empire and some soldiers of the Northern Empire. Li Cong was in the manor, so naturally he would not Let yourself suffer too badly. Many people in the Northern Empire know the power of the chain crossbow. It is not impossible for them to kill more than a thousand people, so they are very likely to spend all their wealth to buy North Korea. If the empire wins, Li Cong will lose a lot of money in that case.

"What? I'm stupid. There's something like this. This Li Cong really has money and doesn't know how to spend it, but the brothers will definitely let him know how the money was spent. I'm going to buy three million gold coins. , This is all my net worth, how about you?" A child from a family in the Southern Empire said, this kid should have a businessman in his family, otherwise it would be impossible for a child from a family like him to spend so much money Yes, when I look at this guy one by one, my eyes are so hot. Damn, this kid will soon make a fortune. Although it’s not a lot to pay three for one, it can’t stand up to the fact that he has a big foundation. Three million gold coins Three, if it is calculated, it is nine million gold coins. For the children of these aristocratic families, nine million gold coins is not a small part of their assets. If their elders know that they have come here so much, they will probably suffer on their own buttocks, but now they are all here. For the Northern Empire, even if something like that happens, it has nothing to do with him. After returning, just put the lost money on one of his followers. If you win, you can hand over the original money. Then treat the winning money as your own personal small coffers, not to mention that there are definitely not a few people who have this idea.

"We don't have as much wealth as you, so we just have hundreds of thousands of gold coins for fun." The other sons of aristocratic families are not as rich as this kid, but none of them are poor, This little money can still be taken out. At present, dozens of children from aristocratic families have thrown in a bet of nearly 20 million gold coins. The money consumption is also very powerful. Now there is such a stable way to make money, if you don’t make good use of it, you will be too sorry for yourself. Soon, the two cronies of the crown prince and the emperor’s uncle bought the Southern Empire in their own names and won. 100 million yuan in gold coins, Li Cong knew that it would not be easy for someone with such a skill, but no matter who you are, as long as you enter our plan. That can only be to send money to yourself, you don't have that time for other things.

In the end, when the game entered the last five minutes, Lao Yang had already sent the news of the betting. So many troops in the Southern Empire had bet more than 300 million gold coins. This bet has never been in history. Appeared because no one would buy a doomed army. That is to give money to his opponents. If he buys all of these, Li Cong may go bankrupt. Fifteen times hundreds of millions of gold coins is definitely not a small amount, although Li Cong can take out this amount. A sum of money, but to be honest, Li Cong really didn't expect someone to take it from his pocket.

The gamble over there has been completed, and the training ground here has also been set up. The fifty soldiers of the Northern Empire have all stood on the imitation city wall. Fifty of them have to defend a defense line of 190 meters, which means that only about three meters can be equally divided into one person. Their defense area But it is really not small, and looking at the Southern Empire, the thousand heavy cavalry have all been prepared. Although the Southern Empire does not have much energy to produce horses, it has to be said that the horses of the Imperial Forest Army are still very good. That's right, even some elite troops of the Northern Empire can't compare to them, these are all domestic smuggling

What the merchants did, without their efforts, the Southern Empire would not have such beautiful horses.

"Hehe, no matter what, the heavy cavalry of the Southern Empire look pretty good. It's a pity, if we can keep an eye on these horses, they won't be so exciting." Prince Gong looked at the Southern Empire. The army of the empire said that although there is still a certain gap compared with the most elite heavy cavalry of the Northern Empire, they are already infinitely close in many aspects. It was a tragic victory, and the result predicted by the Southern Empire should be similar, but the current result is hard to say. Originally, this kid was going to buy 100 million gold coins. The Northern Empire won, and was seen by Li Cong Immediately he was pulled over, and he could still admire those soldiers who bought dozens of silver coins or something, but you are a prince, and you can get up to 100 million gold coins, and how much money you have is not enough to lose money like this. Is it the corner of one's own wall?

"Nothing is absolute. These things belong to strategic materials. If we don't have serial crossbows, I think I will strictly manage the border areas, but it's different now. Anyway, we need to use them to make money. The money from the Southern Empire is not the same as it has come to our Northern Empire, don’t feel like we’re suffering too much, we can use their money to do more things.” Li Cong said with a smile, his concept is similar to that of many people It's different. Many people don't have Li Cong's ideas. In their opinion, it's best not to contact the enemy at all. But Li Cong in today's society will naturally not have their limitations. Of course, Li Cong absolutely cannot allow such things as buying and selling serial crossbows. There must be a limit to buying and selling weapons, right? It is okay to sell them some useless things to make a lot of money. It is best to have as many such things as possible. When they have no money to regret, it will be over.

"Really? This is the first time I've heard of your theory. But it's because your theory is different from ours that we can see so many things that we couldn't see before. Sometimes I I really want to see how many secrets you have in your head. I think after this incident, some of our ideas about the Southern Empire can be realized. Li Cong, we are inseparable. Tell me the truth , the dozens of counties in the Southern Empire can stop you from moving forward?" Prince Gong remained the same on the surface. However, his problem made several guys around him prick up their ears. These people are also Li Cong's good friends. It can be said that their fate is all connected with Li Cong. If Li Cong really makes any big moves, they can make changes at any time to maximize their own interests. At this moment, they are focusing on the dozens of counties and cities newly arrived from the Southern Empire. Everyone knows that if these things can be If it falls into my own hands, it will be a qualitative leap in the development of my personal strength. At this moment, everyone wants to hear what Li Cong means. If Li Cong uses these dozens of counties as At the end, they would mean the same thing, if Li Cong would annex the entire Southern Empire. Then these dozens of counties and cities will become the front line of the war in the future, and then they will not use all their strength to manage the territory allocated to them. After all, the wealth on this battlefield disappears too quickly.

"My lord, it's really difficult for me to answer you. To be honest, I don't have a good plan for these things. I just take one step at a time. Now I don't think you need to listen. I really don't have a plan. All you have to do is to sort out all the information. After this competition is over, we will enter into negotiations with the Southern Empire. I basically know what they mean. That is to use a few counties The city came to send us away. So we must let them see our strength." After Li Cong finished speaking, the battle on the field began. It can be said that there was no conspiracy at all in such an exercise. Facing the battle, it seems that the two sides are relatively fair, but Li Cong feels that his people are a little bit smeared. After all, this field is used for their training, and it is the first time for soldiers from the Southern Empire to come to this place. But in the eyes of the people in the Southern Empire, they really got too much glory. If nothing else, just say that 1,000 people are fighting against 50 people and they have a great advantage, so there is no need for any deployment at the beginning. Just rush straight up, this is the best attack.

Of course, the people in the Southern Empire are not fools. They also know that it is good for them to have a longer distance. The most powerful attack method of the opponent is the crossbow. It took nearly three minutes. During these three minutes, they knew that the enemy could fire more than 30 times. If every one of them could be aimed at, they would probably be finished even if they had the best ability. They have great confidence in their armor, they know that ordinary crossbow arrows cannot penetrate them.

The army of the Northern Empire, who was in charge of defense, saw that the cavalry of the Southern Empire had already started to run. They had no intention of firing crossbow arrows at all. Their crossbow arrows would also be effective at a distance of three kilometers, but what did they hit? The savages who don't wear it can only be effective at a distance of 1,000 meters to penetrate such heavy armor. If it is far away, it will be a waste of the crossbow arrows in their hands, so there are only five of them now. A group spread out, but what made the people of the Southern Empire a little confused was that only four of the five people were holding crossbows, and the remaining one was holding a torch. What is this for? If one of Jin Wushu and Fang Wunan were here, they would probably understand what was going on. This is the latest gunpowder in the Northern Empire. It killed several cavalrymen. At the moment, they are also calculating the wind speed and some other natural environments. They thought they would not attack until one thousand meters away. Who knew that the cavalry in the Southern Empire would enter two thousand meters When they were about 100 meters away, their torches ignited the fuses on the crossbow bolts of the four people, and then saw a lot of crossbow bolts rushing out with a black tail. The speed is not very fast, but it is precisely because the speed is not very fast that they all flew into the middle of the cavalry brigade, not in front of the cavalry.

Then, something happened that many soldiers of the Southern Empire would never forget for the rest of their lives. Those crossbow arrows made a loud sound and a dazzling light less than ten meters above them. They can guarantee that this is the most dazzling light they have ever seen, and then a huge impact came. At the place closest to the light, several soldiers were overturned by such a wave of air. At first, the soldiers in the distance thought they were all right, so they wanted to keep sprinting. But they are wrong, they are rational animals. They can control their emotions, they have never seen these things, but they all know that they are soldiers, and soldiers will never retreat, but what they don't know is that their horses are not soldiers, although they are called military horses, But they don't have the qualities of a soldier, they are in chaos. Many horses became crazy when they heard that sound. They used to be the best friends of the cavalry, and now they have turned into a group of crazy horses. They trampled the cavalry on the ground everywhere, and some horses even started The result was that some harmless cavalry who were relatively far away also fell into chaos. Li Cong made a rough estimate that 30% of the 1,000 cavalry were caught in a direct attack in the first round of attack. Attacking. The remaining 20% ​​are also in chaos, and only 50% of the troops can continue to fight, but this attack does not end here, on the contrary, this is just the beginning, and there is chaos here. We advanced 200 meters in the middle and reached the position of 1800 meters. The archers over there are also ready for the second attack, and their goal is the second chaos at 1500 meters.

The observer can be said to be the most important guy in their new army. The former observers relied on their keen judgment and their excellent eyesight, but many times they could not see clearly. After all, thousands of The things that are a few meters away can't take mine too well, but now it's different, they all have something like a long tube in their hands. Li Cong told him, this is the best thing for scouts. Indeed, after these observers and scouts use this thing, they can see scenes from far away. At the beginning, they even felt They met the devil, and they couldn’t think of such a thing except the devil, but they quickly got used to it. Even if this thing belonged to the devil, then Li Cong was the master who made them, and Li Cong must be the devil himself. Devil, the future after this should be very good.

"Launch." Following the observer's voice, the second wave of attack began. The observer's calculations were very proficient. Just when the remaining less than 500 cavalry filled the 1,500-meter defense line, the second wave of attack began. , They also had chaos just like before, but they lost for the first time. This time they seem to have seen the world, but less than 100 cavalry withdrew from the battle, and now there are more than 300 people left Well, if more than 300 people are allowed to rush up, these fifty people will also suffer bloody disasters. The commander waved the flag, and all fifty soldiers put aside those crossbow arrows with gunpowder. Although the time is very urgent, they still sorted out the crossbow bolts with gunpowder. If this thing is not placed properly, maybe a spark can send their own people to the west. Things that are powerful to the enemy are the same to their own people It's awesome.

The fifty soldiers were replaced with ordinary chain crossbows. At a distance of more than 1,000 meters, the fifty soldiers holding chain crossbows had already found hiding places at this time, although the bows and arrows of the cavalry at this distance were all It is impossible to threaten them, but it is better to be careful. After all, standing is also shooting, and squatting is also shooting. , Many people have heard what Li Cong said. Although it is important to be brave on the battlefield, if you can save your own life, it is better to save your own life. These people are not fools, so they will naturally know how to cherish their own lives. Besides, shooting while lying down can make them calmer and shoot more accurately.

The remaining hundreds of soldiers seemed to have seen their victory at this time. It was just a section of the simulated city wall that was not very high. As long as they could get close, it would be no problem to charge up with the javelins in their hands. matter. But can they really rush over? At this time, no one of the royal family and nobles of the Zinan Empire would think that Li Cong gave them money for the gamble just opened. In the future, if anyone says that it is impossible, you will not be able to slap your mouth. My buddy has seen this with his own eyes, especially the guy who threw out three million gold coins. He is very depressed at the moment. It was the family who asked him to buy some things in the Northern Empire and go back. That's great, the money is gone. I didn't buy anything, and if I go back, I will have a meal, and I don't think anything in the family will be on my head in the future, so I will be like those guys I laughed at before. Same, to be honest, to live your own life with less than tens of thousands of gold coins every month. Anyway, the family will not starve you to death. It is absolutely impossible to squander it. This family will not give you money. Your second chance.

Fifty people accurately called the hundreds of people who were coming towards the front. The power of the chain crossbow is already very powerful at this distance. Many people who wanted to rely on their own armor were all pierced through their bodies. When they entered the 1,000-meter mark, many people had already seen the winner or loser. In fact, there were less than 300 of them left just now. Many people had already expected it at the time, and now it is just to let them see what they think in their hearts. In fact, if a general who loves the people like a son will end this contest with no chance of winning just now, so that they can still let themselves be left behind. It is now impossible for hundreds of soldiers to come back alive. At a distance of 500 meters, a soldier from the Northern Empire successfully hit the mount of the last soldier from the Southern Empire. He fell off the horse, and fell from such a high-speed horse. As a result, only one of them was disabled. , though still alive. But with hundreds of comminuted fractures on his body, this guy didn't have the courage to continue to live. It would be more comfortable to wipe his neck with a knife, so as to save him from suffering in the future.

The ministers and soldiers of the Southern Empire looked at the scene in front of them in surprise. They couldn't believe it. The Northern Empire was already so powerful. They were all prepared yesterday. They knew that there would definitely be a competition, and their people would definitely not win. They were all prepared for this. If they were not prepared, they would die so badly. There were only two hundred of thousands of people The injuries survived, and all the rest died, and the Northern Empire only used 50 soldiers, none of them were injured or injured, and they only consumed some weapons and ammunition. This... This is absolutely unacceptable to them , They all still thought that the gap between the two great empires, the North and the South, was actually not very big, but they did not expect that it had already reached an astonishing level, the difference between heaven and earth.

"Hehe, it seems that our soldiers are still very good. Your Royal Highness, Uncle Emperor, we have won a small fortune. I also played a gamble just now. Now it seems that I have earned some pocket money." Li Cong said The boy is bad, the blow he suffered was already very serious, and now he has to sprinkle salt on his wounds, especially the two people, the emperor's uncle and His Royal Highness, they also think that it is impossible for their people to The one who lost, both of them ordered their subordinates to overwhelm the Southern Empire, and the one who won, it's all right now, mother, the 150 million gold coins are gone, this is really nonsense, not only the face of the empire is gone, I even lost so much money in my own hands. This is to prepare to make money. I didn't expect that I didn't earn a penny, but I lost so much. In fact, if their army wins, they will lose this little money It's nothing, the main reason for their low mood is because of this.

"The prince's army is really powerful, and we are willing to bow down." The crown prince said a little depressed. Although he still had the same smile on his face as before, everyone could see that he was holding on. It is about to be on the verge of collapse. It is the most irrational thing to think about things at this time, just like his answer. How can he answer like this? Sure enough, many people heard his words, and the Beidi ** team immediately It caused huge cheers, and many generals were loudly repeating the answer of the Crown Prince of the Southern Empire. Looking at the Southern Emperor Army, their complexion became even worse, so what if they lost , how can you, as the crown prince of the Southern Empire, talk like that? There must be someone behind your mouth.

"Hehe, Your Royal Highness is very polite. In fact, the sergeants of our two countries are very powerful, but you have come from afar, and you are still not very familiar with our weather, terrain and other factors. If we arrive From your side, I think we may not be able to win, we have too many advantages, this is just a fluke." Winning is not arrogant, losing is not discouraged. This is the demeanor of a general. Li Cong was not such a person in the past. Just now, in order to highlight this useless His Royal Highness, Li Cong said it unnaturally. These words made His Royal Highness's complexion change suddenly. At this time, this guy knew that he had just done something. What a stupid thing, not only Li Cong and others are laughing at themselves, but also some so-called "insiders" behind him are also laughing at themselves as an idiot. Li Cong actually understands this guy very well. At the time of the loss, his mind went blank. In fact, he didn't know what he said, he just knew that Li Cong was talking to him, and he had to answer.

"Perhaps the lord is right, I'm a bit caught in the wind below, so I won't accompany you, go back and rest first." The prince also knew that he had lost his composure just now, so he didn't say anything. I was about to go back to rest, and the others hadn't recovered from the shock yet, but they saw His Highness the Crown Prince walking, so they followed suit.

"No." Li Cong said with a smile, and then he snapped his fingers and came over to Wu Hai, "Go and send another gift to His Royal Highness. Is the matter in Yuchang County settled?" Li Cong said, this time It was another blow to His Highness the Crown Prince and his mission, and it was also a blow to the entire Southern Empire.

It turned out that when Li Cong and His Royal Highness were watching the game just now, a real war had already begun, and the target was Yuchang County City, a county town on the border of the Southern Empire. About 30,000 soldiers from the Invincible Battalion of Li Cong's direct troops personally Participated in the attack, Li Cong gave them three hours. It's here now.

"My lord, this subordinate will pass on this warm news. To be honest, this news may shock the prince even more. We have captured the entire city of Yuchang County half an hour ago." Wu Hai emphasized his tone when he spoke. What he won was not a county, but all the cities within the county, including many counties and small towns. It only took two and a half hours. The Southern Empire was defeated. More than 30,000 people were captured, and tens of millions of ordinary people were directly turned into slaves. This was the first time in the history of the entire empire. Many high-level officials in the Northern Empire did not know about this.

"Very well, remember, this matter is a conflict between our army and them, and has nothing to do with the two empires." Li Cong instructed.

"Hey, my subordinates all understand that after following you for so long, we still know how to fool you." Wu Hai said with a smile, and he left directly after being kicked by Li Cong. I was also very happy just now, just now that Mr. Hou was scared by his own army and couldn't find Bei. Originally, Mr. Hou wanted to compete with Wu Hai for a while, but when he knew that the fifty When the soldier was Wu Hai's army, he was immediately dumbfounded. If he took out some casually, he could kill himself. This is the Northern Empire. I can't keep it. Although I am a dude, I also know that the empire has encountered troubles recently. Let alone an idle clan, even the powerful prince will not dare to offend the Northern Empire at this time. The recent gap between the two empires is too big. He's grown up, so when this kid was leaving just now, he actually sent Wu Hai a gold ticket of 50,000 gold coins as a gift for Wu Hai's wedding. The two of them had nothing to do with each other before. In other words, it is also the relationship between the rival in love. It is not bad for someone to give a gift of tens of thousands of gold coins to a person who has nothing to do with it. Of course, Wu Hai is not the one who values ​​money. He admitted defeat, which made him feel very comfortable, and he became more efficient in doing things.

"Fuck you, I'm different from you. How did I hear that you fooled the lady from the Earl's Mansion?" After talking about serious matters, Li Cong knew that the kid still had some time, so the two of them just talked. As usual, Wu Hai has been with Li Cong for a long time, the relationship between the two people is not only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also a brotherly relationship. The relationship here is like sworn brothers.

"How can I talk like that? I am no worse than that young master? I am not only a nobleman, but I am also a well-known person." Wu Hai said unconvinced, what this kid lacks now is a knighthood , but Li Cong told him a long time ago that the marquis is difficult, but the earl should be fine. A powerful earl is better than an idle duke. Just look at what the idle clans in the imperial capital do every day. .

"Hehe, you came here to ask for the title by beating around the bush, but I don't give it to you just because I want it. You have done a good job today. If your victory can give the empire thirty counties If you are in the city, I will apply for you... um." Li Cong intentionally made a long voice, the neck of the good guy Wu Hai can't wait to get on the horse of Shinto Li Cong, "Apply for a first-class viscount." Li Cong After finishing speaking, he laughed and ran away quickly. Wu Hai is now a third-class viscount. From the perspective of others, this title has been born twice, which is a big deal, but this is what Wu Hai thought in his heart. It's not the same thing, and it's different from what Li Cong promised him. Wu Hai watched Li Cong go away, but he didn't catch up. The chasing wind of the regent king is not comparable to that of ordinary horses. Yes, even if my horse catches up, it will be a sand eater at best.

At this moment, Wu Hai still has very important matters. He has to go to the place where the prince is entertained and tell them that your army provoked us and killed our herdsmen. The city has been laid down, and now the two sides may have misunderstood. I hope that we can negotiate amicably. Of course, to put it bluntly, we are asking for territory for you. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
