2217 Episode 2183

In the capital of the Western Empire, it was almost dawn at this moment. In one night, almost all the people in the capital did not rest. What?Everyone still remembers what happened yesterday evening. It was already midnight when Dianding came back. The news was received not by this guy, but by the beacon. These ancient things can be said to have been There is not much use, at least in the last 100,000 years, but it is useless. These things have been a decoration until now, but yesterday, the beacon fire made everyone around them understand that their capital is met. The enemy is here, and the enemy is still very powerful. Otherwise, this thing must not be ignited. The billion people in the capital are dumbfounded at once. How can they think that the enemy will come to the capital? What is important?That is their capital. If there is a war here, it will be a very big nightmare for the entire empire. Maybe the war in other places is over, and the people on your side have failed. Otherwise, how could they have hit the capital? There are about hundreds of millions of troops around the capital. They are not fools. After seeing the beacon, the generals quickly returned to the capital with their own troops. All the guards have also returned. They all know that the Cao’s business is coming. They don’t want to happen to them about the Southern Empire. As an ancient empire, face is important, but in the Southern Empire It’s also very important for them to see things beyond face, for example, the actual effect they are pursuing...Looking at the latest and most complete novel, the Southern Empire can lose so much territory, in the final analysis, it is because of Cao's business.

The series of things the Cao’s House of Business is now doing are very difficult to understand for the Southern Empire. The people of the Southern Empire did not want to understand these things, because they were already on the verge of collapse, if it weren’t for the Cao’s House of Business For their help, the Northern Empire probably had to get a piece of meat on them. Naturally, the Western Empire knew what was going on. Can he be like the people in the Southern Empire?Absolutely not, so now they have to defend their capital to win this war.The two tenth-level fighters in the Western Empire Palace quickly went out.They all carried relatively large space rings and went to some of the more important military centers around the Western Empire. All they had to do was to bring back the giant crossbow recently developed by the Western Empire. They had already seen it on the battlefield.Such things can definitely bring huge damage to Cao's army.This is the only weapon they can fight against Cao's army.Other things are basically useless, but they are also the only ones among the four empires who have defeated Cao's House of Business. They also hope that they can continue to create this miracle.At that time they will be the empire second only to the Eastern Empire. At that time, they may continue to use this matter. To be honest, since Prince Zheng left the Western Empire, the Western Empire has already been with the Cao family. The trading houses began to stray from their morals. Now that such conflicts have broken out, it is very easy. No one in the Western Empire has seen the huge threat from Cao’s trading houses. A small victory made them feel the expansion of their self-confidence. In their view, the people of Cao’s Commercial Bank are simply not their opponents. They can do what they want to do. Although they are relatively flustered now, after a period of time, they can stabilize the battle and even win. .

The guards of the Western Empire from the emperor to the capital did not sleep this night. They were all arranging the defensive work of the capital of the Western Empire. The river was also dug up around the capital of the Western Empire just like the Holy Light. A lake is almost formed here. According to the artillery coverage of Cao’s house, it is estimated that the warships on the ship can bombard half of the capital. The most terrible thing is that the palace is within their attack range, although the palace There is a very powerful magic circle, but the things that this thing needs to consume are really too powerful. It takes billions of silver to open it in such a day. Whether the Western Empire can afford this is still one thing. , Who knows if the people of Cao’s house will come here to show their existence casually, or do they really want to open this place, everything is unknown, and if it doesn’t happen at that time, it may finally be possible The city will still be broken. If this is the case, Li Cong is really developed. The capital of the Southern Empire is only going through a chaos, and the people of Cao’s house have gained nearly ten trillion silver. If this is possible, If the capital of the Western Empire is robbed, this day will be extremely comfortable. When they come one by one, it will be really fun. The wealth of these people can definitely increase the Cao's business. One grade, don’t talk about a few big empires in the future, even a few more such empires will be no problem, so the emperor of the Western Empire rejected the advice given to him by the following courtiers, and he would never leave the capital. , If the enemy invades, he will move his capital, then the people will look down on himself. Then how can one's face be saved? If the capital is really broken, then he will die with the capital. Anyway, after living It is also a shame.

The ministers of the Western Empire all felt that things were very tricky, but they did not have the confidence of His Majesty the Emperor. Obviously, this time Cao’s family firm didn’t come to show their existence once, the people of the Western Empire. They killed their millions of troops. People remembered this matter. They didn’t just put it aside. It’s obvious that they came to look for things at the moment. If the people on their side can’t handle it then, It is very likely that someone will give it to you. It is said that the person leading the team may be Cao Ke, the owner of the Cao's firm. This anger is not ordinary. If the emperor does not leave, he will not be able to leave. But in the end Where to go is still a big idea, so I can only follow the emperor. My family doesn't have that necessary, although the imperial city is now sealed.They don’t allow people to enter and exit, but they still have their own way. They also know that there is no Cao’s commercial armies on land, that is to say, there is such a thing only at sea, and there is no Cao’s root in other places. The army of the business firm, they are considered safe. They put all their family members in military uniforms and told them that they were investigating intelligence outside, but these people will not come back after they leave the city. All died.In fact, these people went outside quickly.The person in the palace is also very clear about this matter. Isn't this, the empress dowager's old man also went out, saying that he went to Hanshan Temple to ask for Buddha.But there are many temples near the capital.Why go thousands of miles away?Isn't it just in case?Before leaving, he took away the crown prince and several important princes, just in case, if they all died here.This matter can be seen.

The sky began to brighten slowly, and many people knew what was going to happen, because according to the report of the scouts, the warships of the Cao’s House would definitely reach the capital of the capital at this time, even though they were chained to the river. They are all set up, but such things are really useless, because there were quite a few of these things in the former military town, but the warships of Cao’s business haven’t been injured. Is it right in front of their eyes? They are still very clear about this kind of thing, so they still understand the matter in front of them. They are nervously looking at the river in the distance, some on the river. There are no shadows of civilian ships running away, but many old and disrepaired ships have been thrown down by the river. The people of the Western Empire directly pushed them all to the middle of the river. I hope they can also let them. The warships of Cao’s House of Commerce went slower, and I don’t know if such things can work, but how many things can still play a certain role. These things were a lot of money in the past, but when the war came At that time, this thing was directly useless. No one wants to use such a thing. The surrounding more than 5,000 latest naval warships are already assembled. They are divided into four teams. It is the first echelon to resist the Cao’s family’s army. According to Dianding, these warships can definitely bring considerable losses to the Cao’s family’s warships as long as they rush up, but if they can’t get up, they will all change. It's garbage, so these people are ordered to rush forward desperately. On land, more than 50 million troops have been set up around the capital to form two lines of defense, but it is difficult to say whether it will be useful.

"Appeared, appeared, the warships of Cao's House of Commerce appeared, and all the people were ready to wait..." Such a voice began to ring around, and the people of the Western Empire looked at the distance very nervously. They had seen the warships of the Cao’s House of Commerce, and the warships of the Cao’s House of Commerce before. Such things are the river escort boats of the Cao’s House. There are only 26 artillery on it, but the two bows are of caliber. It’s just a big one, but even if it’s big, it’s not enough for the walls of the Southern Empire. Everyone knows very well that if they want to blow up the walls with this thing, maybe they will all. Disappointed, this kind of thing won’t happen, and it’s hard to say whether this kind of thing can happen in the future. Everyone can’t help holding their weapons tightly, as if they are not hurrying. If you hurry this thing, you won’t have a chance. The defensive commander of the Western Empire is the Prince of the Western Empire. This guy is the only powerful military commander of the Western Empire in the capital, but to be honest, that’s the old one. At that time, he had not been in the army for fifty years. It was not because the emperor was afraid that his uncle might bring him a lot of trouble, such as controlling the army and competing with him for the throne, so he himself Let him be honest for a while, and nothing to play around at home. Now that something has happened, the emperor knows that even if it is a private conquest, it will be of no use. He still has to pull out his uncle, the general. If it’s useless, things really don’t work well. Prince Ding is not very satisfied with such an errand. Damn, I can’t use Lao Tzu when it’s good. Now that something happens, I want Lao Tzu to come out. Said that it is also the prince of the clan, it has to be managed.

Although Prince Ding hadn't been in the army for a long time, his majesty was there.Many generals have heard that the commander-in-chief of defense this time is Prince Ding, and all of them feel a little hopeful. In fact, this is not because the Prince Ding is so powerful, mainly because the usual blows are very loud. Prince Ding himself feels that he is so powerful. Of course, this guy is not an idiot. Some small things are still okay. He can still do this kind of war step by step. In addition to this guy, he has Many things, such as now.This guy installed the giant crossbow in some more important positions on the river.According to the current speed of Cao’s merchants’ ships, it is estimated that the giant crossbow can give them a bit of power in less than 30 minutes. Now they are still hidden deeply. He has already told the people below Up.Even the army of Cao’s house would shell the palace.This matter has nothing to do with you.If you want to get the result of the battle, you have to pay attention to a time, as long as you can grasp that time.The entire empire can rely on you all. If you can’t grasp this, then I’m sorry. You people will all be sent to Lao Tzu when they come back. For this reason, those guys can’t wait to hide. I don’t even need to breathe. Don’t even say it. Now the previous fleet of the 30 river escort boats of the Cao’s family firm really didn’t find them. They were still heading towards the capital at the speed just now. If you have a goal, I’ll go up and come with them a few times so that you can all take a look at our affairs. If there is no goal, just drive over. We don’t have so much time to mix with you.

The distance is getting closer and closer. At this time, the southern empire’s navy can’t hold back, because their tool is only 1,000 meters away, and at a distance of 1,000 meters, it’s shooting out. It’s impossible to hit. If you want to get effective results, you must advance to a distance of 800 meters. The thing of Cao’s house is more than ten kilometers or even more. The roots of people don’t need this. For things, if you fight according to other people’s methods, the result can be expected, so now they must fight according to their own ideas, divided into four limb fleets, and they will all start to move forward. The warships of the Jiashang Bank directly gave them a blow when they had not figured out the situation, but the warships of the Cao Jiashang Bank were not fools. Now they came from four directions and understood what was going on. Although the first troops were only 30 escort boats, but they also all have hundreds of artillery. During the training, they were already able to do one-to-five without a problem. At this time, they are not far behind them, and they can give them here. The guy is a bit powerful. When they are about to rush up, they can retreat. Then it won’t be our business. If our warships are all up, your stuff is not enough for us, the commander of the squadron. Calmly divided the vanguard fleet into four parts. The two farthest sub-compartments only need to use five ships to pass by. Keep the distance and keep firing the guns. The closer one needs ten warships. Their role is to kill some of the warships in front of them first. As long as they don’t have this formation, the rest will be much easier to handle. It will be more difficult for them to assemble in the future. Artillery It won't stop.

Of course, these people are not fools one by one. They will never follow the idea of ​​Cao’s house. They have started to form a simpler but very effective formation. All of them have come together in parallel, so that the big Part of the fleet has become thinner. If the artillery shells of the Cao's House are not accurate enough, it is estimated that most of them will fall into the water. This will cause a big loss for the Cao's House. The salvo is made up of hundreds of cannonballs. They must not be so good with the supplies of the Cao’s business. These munitions must be small, especially for things like cannonballs. Even if you have airships, then We don’t give you a safe airspace, and you will not be able to do this. You will still suffer at that time. We are all fighting on the ground. We have a lot of supplies. No matter when it comes, we They can guarantee us. When you have no shells, will these things be useful?There must be no, at that time we had the final say.It has nothing to do with you. Thinking of this, Prince Ding also feels that his method is very right. He has stationed a lot of troops by the river, and there is only one purpose. It is best not to let it. They landed. Although the war in the Holy Light City was blocked by the people of the Southern Empire, nothing was a secret in this era, and they knew a lot about it because of the original two-front battle.Only then did the people of Cao's house take advantage of it.This is also one of the reasons why the Southern Empire lost so much. If they were only allowed to be at sea, it would definitely be a huge test for their material consumption.Of course.if that is the case.Your own army is useless.

At a distance of 10,000 meters, the 127mm artillery on the gunboat of the Cao's Commercial Bank fired. This distance can be said to have a very low hit rate. Even some experienced gunners cannot make a first hit at this distance.But the luck of Cao’s house today is very good. The first batch of about 45 shells of the ten ships actually made 5 hits, and they were all hits on different warships. In the age of steel, one ship would count. It doesn’t necessarily happen if you hit more than a dozen shells, but it’s different now. Wooden boats, especially small wooden boats, can lose their combat effectiveness with just one shell. One ship was hit by the mast, and it broke directly. As the mast fell, the entire ship immediately became as if it was out of balance. The sailors on it didn’t say counterattack at this time, they just flee for their lives. I forgot where I should go. Some of the war crossbows on the ship also started to fire at this distance. Many people may understand that if they don’t fire at this time, there will be absolutely no such opportunity later, Cao’s family The people in the firm will definitely not give you a chance. The first round of the first round of firing by the pioneer fleet fired 312 shells, of which 49 were hits. All the others were hit in the water, directly causing the people of the Western Empire. The 12 warships were blown up, and the remaining bases lost their combat effectiveness. The warships of the Western Empire lost so much when they came up. They did not expect this. As long as the wooden ship is hit by a cannonball, it will not be fired. Yes, although it’s on the water, it’s very easy to put out a fire, but because the crew on it are all frightened, they don’t care about how the ship is. They do it most of the time. Escaped, they can still swim back if they jump from here.

Bastard, how long has this been? A few volleys have killed hundreds of warships in the Western Empire, because the shelling of this thing was always calibrated at the beginning, and it will definitely be fired later. More accurately, this is the situation now. Prince Ding watched his ships on the sea start to burn, one by one. He was depressed. These navies told him how powerful they were. Hua With so much money from the empire, I have to tighten my waistband to build the navy. I have also paid out several million dollars. But how come all of them are just like soft-footed shrimps. The roots are not others. Of course, the opponents of the Jiashang firm are not without results. One of their war crossbows also hit the warship of the Cao Jiashang firm, but only a wooden board was broken. It is estimated that this is the first round. The only result in the confrontation, but there is no way to reward that guy. In the second minute, the two artillery shells sent this guy’s ship to the old dragon king at the bottom of the river to see the scenery. All the people on the base of the mouth fell silent. The ship sank too fast. A cannonball exploded near the waterline. Even those ships with large pumps on the earth could not stay. Not to mention that you don’t have anyone here. You are definitely looking for death here, and you don’t look at your own affairs. The root is that you don’t have much ability. Then you will know that Cao’s firm is great. However, while Cao’s family firm was killing the Quartet, the first fleet of Cao’s family firm also entered the area where the Western Empire’s Great Crossbow was located. At this time, they had hidden for so long. At this time, they have to give you a little bit more power. The camouflage was removed immediately, and the airship in the sky also found them.

Li Cong didn't panic when he received this news. After all, this was the capital of the Western Empire. If there were nothing powerful, they wouldn't be like this.They must have something very powerful waiting for them. This giant crossbow has only heard of it, and the true power is really unexpected. Li Cong let the first fleet speed through, don’t turn your head back to shell those giant crossbows. The fleet will rush over to complete this task with the airship. If they stop and fight back, the chance of them being hit may be as high as 30%. These people understand this truth, they see Li Cong’s After the signal, all of them accelerated through this area.The power of the giant crossbow is still very good.But the worst thing about this thing is that the speed is too slow. It takes ten minutes to launch this thing, but there are some differences. For example, it can reach once every five minutes.What are you hungry?Because the people who operate them are not ordinary people.The people who operate them are all fifth-level fighters.These people are very powerful. They are all from the Western Imperial Palace, and some are from the Prince's Mansion and the major palaces in the capital.They are also very powerful. These guys are doing this quickly one by one. From their eyes, it can be seen that it is very easy for them to operate this thing, but the hit rate of this thing is just It’s bad. About 70 were fired for the first time. None of them hit the target. They are no better than the artillery of Cao’s firm. I really don’t know how they usually train. Now they have come up with this one. Achievements, the Cavaliers didn't operate this thing when they used to, but it is normal for them to have such results now.

The huge water column also gave Cao’s merchants’ navy one. At this time, they also put away their contempt. It’s true that the people of the Western Empire have treated each other with admiration for three days. Something with great power, such a thing is also a huge threat to the people of Cao’s house, and such things also make the people of Cao’s house feel a little dangerous, but they are able to launch this time. The airships of the Cao’s Commercial Bank have begun to drop bombs just like it was raining. The bombs are now different from the previous ones. They are all 25 kilograms each. They are definitely not tied up with grenades. This kind of power can be said to be even more powerful, and it can make the enemy feel that we are more powerful. For this reason, the people on the airship want to try it, so they don’t wait for the following The surface ships are now. The three airships hung directly in the air and started their bombing. After about 400 bombs were dropped, there were hundreds of huge crossbows below, the huge crossbow worth 50 million taels of silver and the 30 million taels of crossbow arrows. Nothing was blown up. The distressed Prince Ding looked at, shit, if these guys can move faster, it is estimated that they can sink the warship of Cao’s house, so their face will be bright. Where does it need to be as it is now, there is nothing left. Those guys’ bombs shouldn’t be as powerful as before. Naturally, those iron locks are not a problem. It only took five minutes to kill all these things. , It seems impossible to intercept the warships of Cao’s house with such a thing. If you only have this thing, it is estimated that you will have a lot of hardship in a while, Cao The people in the home firm will definitely not give you any face.

However, the warships of the Cao’s House were not without danger. Just as they are now, one of the vanguard forces in front of the Cao’s House was hit by a huge crossbow launched from another place on the land. Li Congye I saw it with a telescope, and the huge wood directly penetrated the ship. Many of the soldiers on it were unable to stand due to the huge impact, and were thrown into the water directly. Li Cong felt like this too. It was very terrible. At this moment, the tens of millions of troops on the shore were all cheering on this matter. In their opinion, no matter how much their losses were, it would be considered a great deal as long as they could give this matter to the peninsula. It’s a good thing. No one did it before. Now it’s different. Our people have done it. We are going to sink the first warship of the Cao’s House. Although it’s just Jianghu escort boat, but it is also regarded as Cao’s regular navy warship. This is also a happy thing. If you can’t understand this, it’s your own problem, and it has nothing to do with us. , I believe you will all understand this problem in the future, if you don’t understand this.That's your own problem. One day you will understand. Prince Ding is also happy about this matter, but he is not a soldier who has no brains. He immediately ordered to take advantage of this opportunity to transfer the giant crossbows, because there is not much left. In fact, the Western Empire has produced less than 1,000 in total, and there are about 300 around the capital. Hundreds of them have been destroyed just now. Now we must quickly transfer the exposed one.otherwise.The airship of Cao's Commercial Bank will immediately come up and kill the thing. This is a sure thing. Didn't you see that they had already flown over?

However, a problem also appeared at this time. After all, the people from Cao's House were all from the column.It will take some time for them to unfold.But the navy of the Western Empire has already launched their formation.It was very easy for them to do things. At this time, the crossbows were also in range, and the 30 warships of the previous fleet had all entered their siege.At this moment, the magic cannons on the walls of the capital also fired. The magic cannons are expensive, but they have their own business. That is, they can hit very accurately and at a very fast speed. Basically, you can't dodge things. Yes, just like now, more than a dozen warships were sunk in an instant. This kind of thing made them all feel very happy. What happened to the navy of Cao's house?We defeated your army, and when you arrive in our capital, we have to give you some awesome things. Even if your navy has nothing to do with it, we can kill your navy. Now let you know. We are great. If you can keep us down, just take your business out. But if you don’t have that matter, you don’t need to say anything about this matter. It will definitely kill you all. Li Cong never thought that there would be so many magic cannons in the capital of the Western Empire. He felt that this was a bit interesting. Now the battle will be the same as before. He didn't expect the enemy to be so powerful. They also learned to cooperate. Let us focus all our eyes on these navies. We didn’t expect their main attack to be the deadly magic cannons, but since your thing is already furious, then There is nothing left to say, you can all be killed in a while.

Sure enough, when the entire fleet was destroyed, the people of the Western Empire couldn't laugh. Because there were already a large number of small airships above the city wall, the goal of the large airships was too big, and they wanted to drop bombs at high altitude. It's not that easy. Besides, there are definitely many masters in the capital of the Western Empire. If you are not careful, you will lose a lot of your own people. Now it is completely different. You can definitely use small airships. After killing these magic cannons, dozens of bombs fell in an instant. They had already seen something like this just now. If they were blown up directly, they would definitely not be able to keep it. These magic cannons can be regarded as their trump cards. If these things are killed, they must have lost a lot of combat power. At this moment, a light shield suddenly rose on the city wall. This is the magic circle. Li Cong smiled and nodded the shop. As expected, it was different from the Southern Empire. The Western Empire didn’t seem to be preparing for a day or two. The Southern Empire didn’t prepare to be so easily beaten by himself. Yes, this magic circle also needs to consume valuable things. Li Cong knew very well that it would not be so easy to support such things. The soldiers on the airship above saw that their bombs exploded in mid-air. , I don’t know how to do it, but soon Li received news from there, continue bombing, if there is no one outside the magic circle attacking you, then this magic circle will not lose anything, as long as you pay a little This thing can be built at the price of, but if there is a huge attack outside, its consumption will be very astonishing. I believe they will not be able to sustain such a loss for long. As long as you can’t sustain it, that Time can be...

Prince Ding also understands this truth. Although his people have organized a lot of magic materials to form this magic circle, such a thing can last at most for half an hour under such a high-intensity attack. The cost of half an hour is a precious item of two billion silver, and there are still three seventh-level magic stones to control this thing. Now the magician is there, and the materials are also available, but in half an hour, Look at those airships, one will leave immediately after throwing no bombs, go to the back to transfer the bombs, get away from their positions, and let those airships with bombs move up quickly. If they are the same, their people and things They will be unable to hold it back. How come these damn Cao’s merchants have so many of these things, how did they get them, and as long as the magic circle is activated, whether it’s outside or inside , They can’t be attacked. At the end of the day, the results of these magic cannons are still the same. Taking advantage of the Cao’s family’s army has not formed a battle formation, the Prince Ding ordered the Western Empire’s navy to rush over at full speed, no matter what you use In any way, these warships must not be allowed to bombard the capital. The 3000-meter distance must be guarded, even if you fill it with your own body, you must guard it, otherwise, the Emperor will blame it, ours But they can’t bear it. Li Cong clearly sees what they mean. You must not block us at this time. Li Cong ordered the warship to pass quickly. This place is a narrow place. If they take advantage of the night to transport a large number of giant crossbows to the place just now, their fleet will lose even more. It is definitely not something that 30 escort boats can pass. They still understand this matter.

At this time, the fleets of the two sides are still suffering from the fleet of the Cao Family Firm. Although there are a lot of them, to be honest, you can't use it. Now it is relatively depressed. The war crossbows of the Western Empire's fleet are already aimed. The fleet of Cao's House of Commercial Firm is now, and this round will definitely gain a lot in the past.(To be continued...)
