Chapter 2040 The Second Day of War(2/2)
With the crossbow facing here, you can't have one person go up, and the others can't do anything no matter how hard they try.
Now that the war has started, Li Cong's men have a new way to deal with this kind of war. As long as you put the ladder up, they will go directly towards the person below who is doing the problem, and there will be one less grenade, no matter it is the soldier below.
They didn't believe it when it was called a ladder, but the war has reached this point, so they can't believe the fact that Li Cong said. Li Cong believed it very much, and many people didn't believe it at the beginning.
, but the war has reached this point, and now they have to believe the fact you said. The night slowly fell, and another day passed. Apart from the loss of nearly four million troops, the Eastern Empire did not gain anything.
On the contrary, Li Cong's confidence is now full.
Just like the northern battlefield, Li Cong purchased a large amount of meat from his own pocket to reward the army. These soldiers were also ordinary soldiers. In the past, they only ate meat once or twice a month in the army. What about other times?
There will be days of eating meat. In the past, when military pay was given, they had to take care of their families. Just like some soldiers on the city wall now, how could they have such a day of eating meat in large quantities? In the past,
When I was sent to the military academy, I still had to take care of my family. After sending all the money back, I could only make a living in the army. If I wanted to go out and have a good time, I had to make a lot of determination.
But now look at the meat in the bowls they buy. Li Cong bought it with his own money. All the pigs in the next two cities were bought. Otherwise, how can these millions of people eat? How can there be enough food?
What? They are still very grateful to Mr. Li for this, he is very generous.
The soldiers were singing while eating meat. This sound was slowly transmitted to the army of the Eastern Empire. This was also given to them by Li Cong. The Eastern Empire had stopped attacking, so it was about to launch a propaganda war. This
It's definitely a new term. Many people don't understand what it means. When they hear this word, there's nothing but question marks in their minds. Li Cong doesn't bother to explain it to them. He just asks the man on the city wall.
The soldiers talked loudly, laughed loudly, and spread their happiness loudly. Although one person's voice is very small, when hundreds of thousands of soldiers make such a sound together, it is very difficult for the military camp opposite to listen or not.
What's difficult is that the emperor of the Eastern Empire also heard such a sound at this moment, and his face was very ugly. He looked like he was about to eat someone.
In his opinion, this is Li Cong demonstrating for himself. I wonder what you are thinking in your mind? The Emperor of the Eastern Empire certainly did not recognize Li Cong as a man who did not know how to fight at this time. There is no need to reward his subordinates like this.
The army? I really don’t know what you are thinking. I just feel that even if you are a war genius, there is no need to show off like this. People need to be humble. Are you too arrogant? Emperor of the Eastern Empire
This is the idea, but the soldiers of the Eastern Empire do not think this way. Most of the soldiers of the Eastern Empire are lamenting why others can eat meat, but we eat these cold grains? We can still eat now.
, I heard that about 40% of the food has been lost. At that time, having a full stomach was a luxury. Many people know that in a few days, the food rations for one person will become two people. Maybe they can still eat it.
There will be three people. My head is in danger every day. Now I can't even have a full stomach. I feel really sad.
The angry Emperor of the Eastern Empire even wanted to order that his soldiers could also eat meat. Immediately, officials from the Ministry of Revenue stood up and reported to him what happened today. They fired just cannonballs today.
Billions of taels of silver have gone out, plus some casualties and pensions and other things, which will be more than 30 billion silver for today's sleep. Although the Eastern Empire is rich and wealthy, this little money is nothing to them?
But it is only one day. If you lose so much in one day, this war will not be fought by the Eastern Empire. The emperor of the Eastern Empire finally knows that war is expensive. He also knew that war before
The war was all about money, but he never thought that this war would be such a waste of money. Tens of billions of taels of silver were spent in just one day. If he continued to fight, he might not be able to pay for it even if he sold himself.
For the first time, I felt that money is really a good thing.
Today may be a day when His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire is worried about money. Less than half an hour after his war ended, a carrier pigeon flew from a distance. The guards in this camp all know this carrier pigeon.
This kind of thing is a fast animal that the royal family directly uses to deliver messages. Although it is not a Warcraft, its flying speed is quite different from that of a Warcraft. It is very possible to use a Warcraft to deliver messages, but this Warcraft's
The consumption is also very huge. The consumption of this kind of animal is relatively small, and it is easy for ordinary people to control. Warcraft is not controllable by ordinary people. In the eyes of Warcraft, ordinary people are the food in their mouths. Why?
Will listen to what they say. Only people like Li Cong can order Warcraft to do things, and he can order them with such peace of mind. Who calls him the King of Warcraft?
The old eunuch next to him carefully took the carrier pigeon into the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. The guy who was kicked in the morning had already been slapped down, and his broken ribs had damaged his title page. He is now in danger of death and may be thrown away tonight.
It is their own fate. With such a lesson learned from the past, of course they must be careful. No matter what His Majesty the Emperor's mood is, they must correct their attitude. On the outside, the Emperor should stay away from him and prevent their bodies from coming into contact with him.
, His Majesty the Emperor himself is a ninth-level warrior. He will not suppress his abilities when he is angry. It is a very simple thing to kick someone to death. It is better not to touch that brow. After putting down the carrier pigeon, this
The eunuch retreated quickly, 50% faster than usual, but fortunately His Majesty the Emperor did not observe him at this time, otherwise this guy would have had his head ripped off due to money issues, and it would have been an unforeseen disaster.
The content of the news is very simple, it is the actions of Li Cong's warships in the southern seas. In the southern seas, His Majesty the Emperor has two more important strongholds. They are not His Majesty's own private property, but the property of the entire empire. The entire
The imperial court's industry, especially those in the royal family, are very aware that there are very huge metal deposits on those two islands, producing staggering amounts of silver and gold, as well as precious metals such as platinum, and some other metals.
They are all very valuable things. This has always been the source of 10% of the entire royal family. The source of the money has now been captured by the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company. The millions of defense troops on the island have all surrendered. Such news
His Majesty the Emperor sat down immediately. The paper in his hand also fell down. The ministers quickly picked it up to see what was going on?
How is this possible? How do people from the Cao Family Trading Company know their specific locations? The southern sea area is so vast that it is impossible for their warships to know the locations of these two islands even if they sail for several years.
, this must be false news. This is absolutely not true, and we have heavy defense on the island. In addition to those slaves, we have our own army of millions. Although these armies are the standard of local armies, they are just a bunch of pigs.
If it were lying there, it would be impossible for the Cao Family Trading Company to occupy it so quickly. This news must be false. Your Majesty, please don't be sad. A prince stood up and said, he has been to that island before, Cao
It is absolutely impossible for the family business to get there in such a short period of time and capture it. This is simply a fantasy, so he concluded that the news was false and was sent by spies from the Cao family business.
No need to believe it.
His Majesty glanced at his uncle with some pity. He must be stupid. Although there are many such carrier pigeons on the entire continent, he could tell at a glance that this carrier pigeon was raised by the royal family. He
No matter how powerful the intelligence agency of the Cao Family Trading Company is, it is impossible to learn these code words. All of them are said in code words, and they are not spoken in plain code. It is estimated that this old Uncle Huang is the only one in this room who thinks so.
, various aspects indicate that the news mentioned above is true. The royal family has now lost an important base of fiscal revenue. They must re-examine the war. There will be many places to spend money next year. Should the war continue?
Woolen cloth?
This was also a back-up arranged by Li Cong. He said that he knew very clearly that it would not be easy for Li Cong to do this for me and the court to help them. He had to hit them until they hurt. The Linghu family's share
Map just wants Li Cong to do this. If the Linghu family has its own affairs and its own fleet, this job will definitely not come cheap to Li Cong. Now Li Cong can tell everyone about them
He is the richest person on the entire continent. Compared with the wealth of these two islands, the money Li Tong earned in the past was at most comparable. Li Cong's wealth more than doubled in an instant. These are all
It comes from robbing, rather than slowly accumulating. How can this not be said to be a kind of rapid progress?
Of course, Li Cong is very happy at this moment, but for His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, there is nothing to be happy about. His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire is already in pain to death. The war of swords and money is like this.
, he felt very depressed, but after receiving the news, he thought that even if the war was defeated, there would be nothing. Compared with that news, the failed war can continue to make a comeback, but what was lost can be regained.
Come back? If he were on land, he would definitely get his things back, but now he is in the sea, going head-to-head with the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company? It is impossible to even meet them face to face.
Things, I know very well how big my own navy is. If I want to confront the Cao Family Trading Company's navy, I have to wait for hundreds of years. I don't know what level they will advance to in these few hundred years.
Already.
Your Majesty, even if the news on this piece of paper is true, we can't change anything now. We can only block this news, and then face our army stepping up the siege tonight. I don't believe their city.
The people inside are all iron men. Although we are dying, their people are too tired. Even if they are tired, we will definitely be able to go up. I don’t believe that they will not be tired. A general looked at the opposite
Chengqiang said that the generals think about things very simply. There is no other thing in their eyes, only the war in front of them. Although his words are a bit rude, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely not use soldiers like this in the past.
He had to pay for the victory with his life. Such a victory was so tragic that even if it were recorded in history books in the future, it would never be well described. But now he also needs such a victory. The entire empire needs such a victory.
of victory.
Yes, we are worried that other things have no effect now. Now you all have listened and go back to reorganize your army. I will attack the city with me all night tonight. We cannot let the enemy have any time to rest. We have more people.
Yes, send me 20 million troops to attack in front of the main gate tonight. If you can be the first to climb the city wall, you will be rewarded with 30,000 silver and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. If you can open the gate of the city wall, you will be granted the title of first-class duke and rewarded with 500 silver.
00 silver, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire also understood this truth very well. He immediately handed out heavy rewards. Many people in this room were dumbfounded. Although they were high-ranking officials, they were not fools.
I have never had a title of my own in my whole life, and His Majesty the Emperor can't get into these two titles casually. If I had that problem, I would definitely rush to follow suit.
It's a pity that all of them are civil servants and can't do this. If they go up one by one, they will die. They can only think about who can win this honor tonight, but in their hearts
It was very sour, and they cursed that person one by one not to come. His Majesty the Emperor has issued such a large Haikou, and there must be many people who want this reward. If you lose your life on the battlefield, you can only say that you are fine.
, but if you can let your descendants enjoy the blessings with you, that is also a very good thing. Now each of these people can be said to be clean and tidy. With such a reward, why not work hard? Do you want to let
