From Propulsion City To Multiverse

Chapter 573: Shake Jiangnan

The army was defeated like a mountain, and more than 10,000 Sui troops in the wilderness between Wuzhou City and Xifengpo Water Village, like crazy wild dogs, ran to Wuzhou City in a mess.

Many Sui soldiers even threw away their shields and swords.

Although it is not the first time that the Human Revolutionary Alliance has applied hot weapons on the battlefield, the previous battles were either at sea or in siege battles that were quickly resolved.

And this time, it was the first time he was exposed to other forces.

The county governor Lu Guangwei on the city wall, as well as other tyrants, were all cold, and even with the August sun above their heads, it was still difficult to calm down their panic.

Compared with the panic-stricken Lu Guangwei, the Jiangdong family, Song Lu, Xu Ziling and others, they were not too panicked, they were just afraid of the Revolutionary Alliance who possessed such a terrifying weapon.

He does not mean that.

Wanwan's heart suddenly moved. Others didn't know the details of the Dongming faction. As the head of the Yinkui faction appointed by Zhu Yuyan, she naturally knew that Shan Meixian had a tangled relationship with Zhu Yuyan and Bian.

But she didn't show it, she just wrote it down secretly.

"Uncle! What is the origin of this person's weapon of the Revolutionary Alliance?" Song Shidao asked worriedly.

Suddenly Song Yuzhi said something: "Could it be the Dongming faction? This faction has been supplying weapons to various forces in the Central Plains."

But Song Lu shook his head: "I am afraid that the Dongming faction has more bad luck than good luck. According to the news of the Water Dragon Gang, the Liuqiu Island of the Dongming faction has been occupied by the People's Revolutionary Alliance at this time, even if this kind of magic weapon is Dongming. What was invented by Pai should now also fall into the hands of the People's Revolutionary Alliance."

Even a master master can't guarantee that he can take the blow of that kind of firearm.

In addition to the Song Clan, the Young Marshal Army, and the Yinkui faction, other demons, monks, big gangs, and rebel spies also saw this scene.

Some are fearful, others are blinded by greed.

And Xu Ziling, who had planned to come over to investigate the strength of the Human Revolutionary Alliance's navy, couldn't help but smile bitterly. .

If the People's Revolutionary Federation put weapons that can fire thunderbolts on warships, what would the Marshals do to fight others? Do you rely on him and Kou Zhong to fight one-on-one?

The fate of the dozen or so martial arts masters, Xu Ziling, who had excellent eyesight, could see clearly.

That is to say, at this time, Wu County and Piling County were surrounded by north and south.

At about the same time, Changshu County, which is subordinate to Piling County, was also captured by an army battalion sent by Hu Douzhou.

After the capture of Yanling County, the Yangtze River Squadron left two battalions and half of the warships stationed in Yanling County.

However, the hearts of Wuzhou City are scattered, and many Jiangdong families have begun to retreat, and even plan to relocate their families to Yangzhou in Jiangbei.

It was just when people in Wuzhou City were panicking.

The Navy's Yangtze River Squadron, with four battalions of troops, has captured Yanling (now Zhenjiang) and blocked the mouth of the Jiangnan River in the Grand Canal.

After winning Wuxi, Yugu also left two battalions to garrison, and then took the remaining troops to the north along the Grand Canal, preparing to attack the city of Piling County - Jinling City with the Yangtze River Squadron.

The war broke out too suddenly.

Before Piling County did not react, the troops came down to the city.

The remaining troops continued southward along the Jiangnan River of the Grand Canal, preparing to attack Jinling City (now Changzhou), the county seat of Piling County.

the other side.

Wuxi County, on the north bank of Taihu Lake, was also captured by the guerrilla squadron crossing over from Taihu Lake.

The patriarchs and patriarchs of various clans who had just returned home felt chills in their necks again, especially those who did a lot of evil and oppressed the people on weekdays, and felt even more anxious.

The collapsed soldiers, which had also just stabilized, were also surging undercurrents at this time.

In a barracks inside the city wall.

At Lu Guangwei in Wujun County, nearly 10,000 Sui soldiers who had just fled back were resettled, and before night came, the terrible news came in the evening.

In the evening, a fast horse came from the north with an urgent report. Lu Guangwei sat in the lobby at a loss. Hearing the news of the fall of Wuxi County, his whole person was not well.

The news quickly spread in Wuzhou City.

"Why don't we just do the opposite, the People's Revolutionary Federation only cleans up the tyrants. Anyway, the three generations of my family have been ploughing the fields for Zhou, and they can't even get enough food all year round.

The silent eldest brother, after thinking for a while, gritted his teeth: "Let's go to the People's Revolutionary Federation together, but we can't open the city gate alone, so it's better to pull some more people."

"I know Han Xiaofei from Beishaji. His family is in Kunshan. The land has been divided there, so he should be able to come over."

Several people sneakily gathered in a room, discussing today's affairs in a low voice.

"Brother, why don't we escape back to the village!" A timid boy suggested in fear.

"Escape? How to get out of the city gate?"

It seems that this system is very good, but the problem is that there is a huge room for manoeuvre in the management of Fubing.

Once the power of the central government to control the localities declines, this system will soon become a tool for generals to oppress the lower-level military households. The middle and late Ming Dynasty is a typical example.

In addition, some of the weapons and war horses of the government soldiers must be prepared by themselves, and the military government is not responsible.

"The big tiger in Xinliuping, his father was beaten to death by the landlord, should be able to..."

After chatting for a while, everyone found more than 20 people who could be drawn over.

After all, in this era, the Fubing system was adopted, which was equivalent to conscripts, and the Fubing was also included in the military households.

The current situation in the Sui Dynasty is because Yang Guang madly recruited civilians and military households to carry out large-scale projects through corvée.

Corruption is forced voluntary labor.

Why is it that the People's Revolutionary Federation is also carrying out major projects, but the people do not feel oppressed? On the contrary, rapid economic development and continuous improvement of infrastructure?

Although there is a provision for tax exemption for soldiers, extortionate and miscellaneous taxes and corvée are unavoidable. The so-called tax exemption is often just a positive tax.

Once the soldiers of the government died in battle, the other men in the family would have to be on top, unless all the men were dead.

And what's even more embarrassing is that the service period of the government soldiers is 21 to 59 years old. With the average life expectancy of this era, almost after the crown ceremony, they have to serve for life.

Now the tide is on, as long as it is the slack season, a large number of laborers are willing to work on the construction site.

This makes the infrastructure of Da Liuqiu show rapid changes. Roads, bridges, reservoirs, dams, canals, water conservancy ditches and other facilities are blooming almost everywhere.

If the operation method of the Sui Dynasty was used, it would be a large-scale conscription of corvée and the displacement of the common people.

The reason is that it is voluntary and paid, and corvée is a compulsory obligation. Many officials in charge of management, let alone feeding the commoners who serve corvage, are good people if they don’t mix sand in their grain.

Insufficient food, high-intensity labor, corporal punishment by supervisors, and almost no protective facilities are the routine operations of corvée.

The large-scale project of the People's Revolutionary Federation not only provides three meals a day, but also provides vegetables and meat, and also pays wages. In addition, it is equipped with a large number of tools and has formulated a strict safety management system.

In the city of Wuzhou, where the undercurrent is surging.

The next day, the sun had not yet risen above the horizon.

Another fast horse rushed into the city of Wuzhou.

This is also why there is a saying that tyranny is stronger than tigers.

Many emperors were fooled and lame by the gentry. Instead of engaging in aristocratic families and landlords, they tried their best to harvest the people at the bottom who had almost nothing, and finally caused the empire to collapse directly.

Song Shidao was silent, the situation was changing too fast, and they were all overwhelmed.

An hour later, the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurried up and handed a secret letter to Song Lu.

After Song Lu opened it, he had such an expression as expected: "Jinling, the county seat of Piling County, was captured this morning. The county guard, Shen Faxing, took 3,000 personal soldiers and fled towards Danyang County.

On the third floor of Linjiang Restaurant, Song Lu passed the book through flying pigeons, and already knew about the fall of Yanling County, Qu'a County, Changshu County and other places.

Gu Lin

"I guess Jinling City can no longer be preserved."

"Wait and watch, the people who are most anxious now are Yang Guang and the major rebels in Jiangnan." Song Lu said while rubbing his beard.

In the important town of Liyang of the Jianghuai Army.

"Wuzhou City has completely become an isolated city." Song Shidao sighed.

Song Luze narrowed his eyes: "The People's Revolutionary Federation must have been prepared long ago. They plan to catch the turtle in an urn against the Jiangdong family in Wu County. I estimate that Wu County will bleed into a river next time!"

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Song Shidao asked with a headache.

"Is that kind of firearm really so sharp?" a general asked in disbelief.

Although Du Fuwei didn't want to believe it, the spy had already reminded him. In addition, many people in Wuzhou City had seen it and didn't pay attention to this matter. After that, when encountering the army of the People's Revolutionary League, it is estimated that they will not be able to eat.

Another middle-aged man dressed as a scribe suggested to Du Fuwei: "My lord, we must also have this kind of weapon, or else we won't even talk about competing for dominance in the world, and I'm afraid even Jiangnan will not be able to be unified."

In Du Fuwei's military tent, the atmosphere was extremely depressed at this time.

On the map, the area controlled by the People's Revolutionary Alliance at this time had already occupied Piling County, Wu County, Yuhang County, and Kuaiji County.

As for Wuzhou City, which has not yet been captured, Du Fuwei has given up any hope.

They all thought that as long as they obtained firearm technology or samples of firearms, they could draw gourds.

If you can really draw a gourd, then Zheng Sen and others don't have to bury their heads in farming. Even super human beings like them with a huge database and rich practical experience need to be busy for so long. These guys are thinking about shit.

Perhaps with skilled craftsmen, rifles can be made in small batches.

Du Fuwei made a decisive decision: "Pass our military order and let the spies do their best to investigate the firearms manufacturing technology of the People's Revolutionary Alliance. Anyone who obtains their firearms manufacturing technology will be rewarded a thousand taels and be named an earl."

"As ordered!"

In addition to Du Fuwei's coveting firearm technology, Yang Guang, Song Clan, Li Zitong, Le Botong and others also have the same plan.

Spies and martial arts masters from various forces kept infiltrating Piling County, which had just been captured by the People's Revolutionary Alliance.

at the same time.

Wuzhou City, which had become an isolated city, was already panicking at this time, and the escape route was cut off. The powerful people of the great clan could only arm themselves with all their might. In a short period of time, Wuzhou City's troops soared to nearly 30,000.

But the real core technology of the rifle is actually in the material.

Whether it is the steel that makes the barrel, or the primer and propellant that makes the bullet, none of these things can be imitated by a skilled craftsman.

At most, let them invent black powder versions of arquebuses and flintlock guns. As for modern rifles and machine guns, they don't have to think about it in a short time.

Under the scorching sun, Yugu brought 2,000 troops and joined Baiyulou in Xifengpo Water Village. At this time, the troops gathered here had reached the scale of 3,500.

Baiyu Tower is located 500 meters away from the city wall of Wuzhou City.

Just as he was about to order an attack, a riot broke out in Wuzhou City facing the west wall of Taihu Lake.

It's a pity that this kind of Latino-style expansion has brought soldiers that are completely vulnerable.

Moreover, the crazy expansion of troops also brought another problem, that is, many people with ulterior motives also took the opportunity to infiltrate the defending army.

The third day after the outbreak of the Battle of North Taihu.

Howitzers and mortars smashed into the southern city wall.

The Sui soldiers who were in charge of defending the city simply quit and rushed down the city wall frantically, or moved to the west and east walls.

boom! Even if the city gate was blocked by boulders, dozens of armor-piercing bullets would knock down a piece of the iron city wall, not to mention the masonry city wall.

Thousands of Sui soldiers who were in charge of defending the city suddenly turned against each other, hacking to death a large number of the generals and noble family members who were in charge of guarding the city wall.

The sudden situation did not distract Bai Yulou, he quickly ordered: "Attack!"

boom boom boom…

A third-rate warrior who can be called a good player on the rivers and lakes, facing the concentrated fire of rifles and shotguns, will either die or be injured in the end.

The closest battle scene to them was on the street of Linjiang Restaurant.

More than 200 tyrannical family members, under the leadership of tyrants, swarmed to charge a 20-person People's Revolutionary Army.

The towers that collapsed suddenly indicated that the fiasco of Wuzhou City was irreversible.

The iron armored soldiers blocked in front, and the musketeers with rifles, shotguns and grenades followed behind the iron armored soldiers, which was equivalent to a simple version of the infantry and tank coordination.

In the Linjiang Restaurant, Song Lu, Song Shidao, Xu Ziling and others witnessed the advance of the People's Revolutionary Alliance army.

Although the musketeer's plate armor does not include arms and calves, the breastplate, helmet, and crotch armor are enough to defend against most bows and arrows.

This kind of classical cold weapon infantry, once the casualties exceed 10%, it is easy to collapse, even if a few powerful private soldiers are more loyal, they cannot withstand more than 30% casualties.

A very ferocious shotgun, sprayed in one shot, is a large piece, even if it is equipped with iron armor, there is no way to defend 100% against the dense steel balls.

The armored soldiers stood in front.

Rifles are aimed at the boss, shotguns are sprayed into crowded areas, and grenades are thrown into the middle and rear areas of the enemy team.

In less than three minutes, more than 200 people were beaten and collapsed, and even bows and arrows were useless.

The Yinkui faction's side lived up to the task, and he also appeared in the city at this time. His speed was very strange. He kept moving on the roof and quickly approached a small army of the People's Revolutionary League.

His goal was not to come to help the Sui army resist the People's Revolutionary League, but to **** firearms.

Taking advantage of this troop, fighting against tyrannical private soldiers on the street, Bian did not fail to find the right time and swept a large piece of tiles from the roof.

Song Lu's face became more and more solemn: "It's too ferocious! Unless it is a dead man who is not afraid of death and is equipped with the same full-body armor as the Human Revolutionary Alliance, it is possible to get close to the opponent."

The sharp-eyed Xu Ziling, UU reading www.uukanshu.com shook his head: "It is estimated that ordinary iron armor is useless. That tyrant has at least one layer of silk and two layers of iron armor on his body, but his armor was still broken by firearms."

Song Lu, Xu Ziling and others were discussing the battle in the city.

It's just that this guy was already prepared. After jumping on the roof, he quickly turned into a family's yard, and then turned around.

Bai Yulou heard the report that someone was taking the opportunity to **** weapons. This kind of thing was unavoidable, but it didn't mean he would swallow it up.

Immediately ordered the city gates to be blocked, and the secretaries and propaganda officers led the team to conduct a door-to-door investigation of the entire city.

In the midst of the crackling, he broke the necks of the two musketeers, and quickly took away a rifle and two grenades.

Seeing the soldiers who were killed by their comrades, they raised their guns angrily and shot in the direction of Bianbuli's escape.

bang bang bang...

He stood on the roof of the Dongcheng Tower and stared at the entire Wuzhou City.
