They will suddenly attack us." Li Cong said to the city officials when they were in the market. The whole city is divided into two parts. One part is the military officials, and the other part is the government officials. They also reacted to Li Cong's words.

They have all taken it to heart to vigorously strengthen the defense of the entire city. Although the people in the city are ordinary people from the Eastern Empire, there is no shortage of people who love money. They have organized about 100,000 mercenaries in the city.

They have given them some ideological education. It can be said that they are loyal to them and will never do anything to the people of the Eastern Empire. These people are usually responsible for public security, and there is no need for them for other things.

You have to consider dispatching troops from your own place.

"We are following your instructions to defend the surrounding area. The first line of defense is built thirty kilometers around the city. It only serves as an early warning. The second line of defense is ten kilometers away from the city.

In this place, we have taken some vacations and built some gun towers and other things to imitate some blockades on the northern front line. I believe it should be able to resist the enemy. Finally, there are these city walls. We have rebuilt the city walls with cement.

After processing it, if the enemy wants to attack our city, it will be difficult to attack with their weapons. It’s not that I don’t have confidence. I can just introduce it to you. No million-dollar soldier wants to board the city.

It is impossible to build our city wall, we have formulated a very strict defense plan." The general of this city said very confidently, and the hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the Cao Family Trading Company led by him actually said that others would not pay hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At the cost of tens of thousands of people, one cannot climb the city wall.

"It's good to have such self-confidence, but you should also see the progress of others. The Eastern Empire has fought us on the northern front for so long, and they will definitely not continue to fight that kind of war at home. If they

If we attack us, why will people swarm up? For our cannons, it is like harvesting wheat to harvest their lives. We are not fools and will not do such a thing, so you must show a good attitude.

With a positive attitude, we cannot be satisfied with the past. As the Eastern Empire's tactics are improving, your tactics should also be improved. Your artillery is assumed to be near the city wall. If the city wall is captured, the entire city will be very dangerous, so we must

It's enough to arrange a vertical echelon for defense." Li Cong looked at most of the defenses here and said. He found that all the defenses have not moved. They are usually the last line of defense. If the city wall is captured, how can we carry out urban street fighting?

Woolen cloth!

"Is this question the kind of urban street fighting we talked about in class? If so, we haven't prepared for this yet, mainly because the residents of this city don't recognize us that much.

, although they all expressed their acceptance of our rule, if the East Emperor's ** team really comes to regain this place, I don't guarantee that there will be any riots? Generally speaking, if we want the people here to cooperate with us in another place,

It will take a long time, maybe a few decades." The general said worriedly when he saw so many people behind the city wall. It was true that there were too many people in the city, and then they all went to the Cao Family Trading Company

Cooperation is a bit unrealistic, but it is also unrealistic not to allow them to cooperate with the Cao Family Trading Company. If they do not cooperate with the Cao Family Trading Company, they will definitely cooperate with the people from the Eastern Empire. What will these people from the Eastern Empire do to them?

? They don’t know either. They only know that cooperation with Cao’s Trading Company is still possible.

"You're right, I'm talking about the kind of urban street fighting. This kind of urban street fighting can be said to be the most powerful type of war that consumes the enemy's physical strength. In a siege war, if you can't support it,

Do you still want to continue to support us here? That is very unfair to you. Your number is simply incomparable to the number of people in the Eastern Empire. Once they rush to the city wall, don’t tell me that you

They will never be able to charge up the city wall. Your people will always get tired. There will always be a time when you can't see them. That's when they will charge up. Once they really charge up, these weapons on our walls will have no effect.

, so it is also necessary to build some fortifications in the city. It is very good for our entire city to build some fortifications in places that do not hinder everyone's normal activities. Li Cong thought about it and said. It is indeed the case in the city.

Some should be built. After all, Li Chong and the others were going to retreat to the ship.

There is still some distance from here to the seaside. If used well, it can cause huge losses to the enemy. The main reason is that the Eastern Empire knows what losses will be caused by capturing such a city, and they will not dare to come here casually in the future.

Coming. Many times, the people of the Eastern Empire are like this. They think they are powerful, but they dare not bear this loss. If they dare to bear this loss on the northern battlefield, they will continue to serve as soldiers.

This made Li Cong see that the Eastern Empire was weak and he didn't have much courage. He was just bluffing. As long as his defense here was good, it would be impossible for him to capture the entire city. Several generals around him were worried.

Nodding, what did they feel was lacking in the past? They just didn't say it out loud. They didn't think about these things for more than ten minutes. In many people's minds, as long as the city gate is breached, the city is also breached.

Already.

"What about the navy? If the people from the Eastern Empire really come to attack the city, what kind of support can the navy give you? Li Cong looked back at the seaside in the distance. It was already beyond the range of the artillery. Even the navy

If you want to help this city, you don’t have much ability. There are more than a dozen warships parked on the beach. They should be the navy stationed in this city. Immediately, an officer wearing different clothes and colors came over. He is the navy here.

The commander, who is also the top commander of the navy here, walked away from me and performed a military salute. The navy is much better than the army in terms of etiquette. It can be said that the training level of the army is relatively low compared to the navy. The training they received

Time is also relatively short. Take the goose step as an example, a very ordinary navy soldier will do much better than an army officer. They have more training.

"Sir, currently we have a total of fifteen large naval warships here. They are all the largest warships in our Cao family business. These warships have conducted many exercises here. They can cover the rapid retreat of our army.

When we got to the ship, we formed a rapid retreat ship composed of fifty merchant ships on the seashore. Currently, the resources of the navy are very small, because our artillery cannot reach the distance here. If we fire rashly, we may

If we hit the shore, our own people will also suffer huge losses, so the navy has not done much yet." The navy commander said with some sadness, the navy's combat strength is very powerful, especially their artillery, I don't know how to compare.

How much stronger can the army be because it is too far away from here and their artillery cannot reach here. If they fire casually, they will only lose their own people.

"It doesn't matter. You haven't learned modern warfare. Even when you studied in the military school, you only learned a little bit. I can tell you what the navy should do. Just look at where they are now.

Immediately strengthen some of the in-depth defenses in the city, and you can move your artillery closer to the seaside, and then conduct some calibration to see where your bullet impact points are. Of course, I am not asking you to actually fire the artillery, but just making calculations.

, if the enemy really rushes into the city, we will move everything in the north city to the south city. At that time, you will be able to gain access to the north city, and your artillery will be effective. You must choose a very powerful one.

This is your job now. Li Cong's words made Nanjing, the naval headquarters, understand that this is how the navy uses it.

"Sir, didn't we just sign an armistice agreement with the Power Nation, and the contracts are all signed. They still owe us a lot of money? Are we about to start a war with the Eastern Empire at this time? This seems a bit inconsistent with our Cao family

For the benefit of the trading company, the city lord thought for a while and said, he had just taken office here and he had already built it like an iron barrel. Li Cong still admired how well he had completed his task. Now he heard that he had raised this question and looked at it again.

Looking at the officers and government people around, it shows that they all have this idea. Now that the war has just ended, the war will start again, whether it is for the Eastern Empire or the Cao Family Trading Company.

It will take a certain amount of time to consume, and the Cao Family Trading Company does not have many regular troops here. If a fight really breaks out, they will inevitably suffer losses.

"You've asked a very good question. But everything we do must be prioritized. For example, right now, our war with the Eastern Empire goes against our current interests and will cause us great losses. But

Why should I make the decision to go to war with them? The only reason is that we need to go to war now. We need to go to war with the Winter Country to divert their attention, use our navy to beat them again, and sign a contract again. They are already

They have signed a contract with us. In the future, as long as we win the battle, we will sign a contract with us. But inside the Eastern Empire, our friends are being invaded by them. We have to divert their combat power to a powerful enemy outside us.

He didn't say anything and would do what we wanted. Otherwise, we will just rob these 300 counties and cities again like last time. I think we won't rob as much as last time. Li Cong looked at

The Eastern Empire Territory in the distance said that at this moment, his eyes really looked like he was coming.

Most of the officers are not very sensible, but they know that they are now equipped with the latest serial crossbow. The best serial crossbow shipped from the earth is now very powerful, and its penetrating power is comparable to some on the earth.

The rifle is almost ready. They have been practicing with this thing for so long and have not yet had a chance to try it on the battlefield. How can they hold back? As soon as they heard that the war was about to start, these people were almost happy.

I didn’t jump up anymore. This kind of thing can be said to be the best thing. What is the purpose of the army? It is impossible to threaten others. It is to fight on the battlefield and make achievements. If you don’t have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, you will do this.

Are soldiers no different from ordinary people? Li Cong smiled and waved his hand to stop these people from talking. He just revealed a little bit of information to them, and they started to make unrestricted associations. Some people even thought about it.

Having captured the capital of the Eastern Empire, this confidence is a bit too great.

"Your current mentality is completely unacceptable. Although we have established an army to fight, the greater role of establishing an army is to protect the people. If we can solve this problem without fighting, why should we fight? What if?

If we really want to go to war, it will not be a good thing for us. We will also lose a lot, so you still have to learn what it means to conquer the enemy without fighting. Only in this way will our army be a victorious general. As long as we

When your own army is displayed, others will not dare to compete with you. Don't you think about this and find it enjoyable? Li Cong looked at the last officer and said with a smile, and went down to ride on horseback to see the defense system outside the city.

Look, although he wants to help the Linghu family, he has to take care of his own affairs first, right? He only has these fifteen cities in the Eastern Empire. If something goes wrong in these fifteen cities, he really doesn't know what to do.

It can be done, the Eastern Empire will be ruthless.

The defense system outside the city is basically the same as the defense system on the battlefield behind it, and it is also built like the three-dimensional defense there. It can be said that if the Eastern Empire wants to conduct a large-scale attack in such a flat place,

Their final loss was very huge. Li Cong looked around and found that the defense here was still very good. It was not easy for the Eastern Empire's army to rush in, so he could do something for the Linghu family.

But if you want to provoke a trouble, you can have a formal reason. Li Cong returned to where he was staying and thought about it. He didn't know what reason he had recently to provoke a war with the Eastern Empire. After the Eastern Empire signed a treaty with him, basically

If you move all the people 30 kilometers around your city, even if you want to find trouble, you can't find anyone, why should you sail a boat to other people's territory and fire a few cannons at random? This doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Right?

In that case, he would really be an invader. In the past, he could play the role of a pirate, but now everyone knows that he is from the Cao Family Trading Company. If he attacks them without any reason, he will cause resistance from the common people.

The resistance is very fierce. It is different from the army. The army fights with one-sided resistance. You can completely defeat the army. But if the people resist, it will be a full-scale war and fall into an empire as big as the Eastern Empire.

Li Cong himself could not even imagine falling into such a full-scale war. No matter how many troops he dispatched, the final result would definitely be his failure. This was the People's War and the People's Ocean War. To him, this was something he couldn't believe.

Things are things that he doesn't believe in and dare not try. Therefore, Li Cong must find a complete reason. No matter what the reason is, he must have this reason before he can fight.

"Why do you think our boss is spending so much time? You want me to say just sail out and find a place to fight, and you can come out immediately. Why are you thinking so much? Are you tired?" One of Li Cong's adjutants saw Li Cong.

In the house, a few of them chatting outside said that from their own perspective, the way he played just now was pretty good. But from Li Cong's perspective, this was a very stupid approach. What do you think?

It's impossible to go directly to attack others. This will arouse the people's sense of resistance. Even your pig brain can't change what our boss is thinking? Why don't you look at what's in your own brain? Why don't you say it?

You can only look outside and see people looking at the map in the house. We all just stay and protect the boss. Other things are not what we should think about. Another guard looked at this guy and said with a smile.

, they are all basically things that warriors usually don’t use their brains to do, all they have to do is physical work.

Suddenly I thought of some things that happened on earth. If the colonial empire wanted something to happen between the colonies, it would be very simple. Just find someone to go out and find something to do, right? Anyway, you have consular jurisdiction, no matter what you do.
