Sun Guozhu was right. This was just their first stop. On the rest of the journey, Colonel Cordier and the others passed through more than a dozen checkpoints. Each checkpoint had a clearly marked price. Everyone had to pay one thousand and fifty.
One hundred silver coins will do. If you can't come up with the money, then we will investigate you. As for when the investigation will be completed, that is your own business.
By the time we passed the third checkpoint, the price had risen to 3,000 silver coins. This was mainly because we saw that these people had a lot of money. If we just took a little bit from their boxes, it would be thousands of dollars.
If we still charge one thousand and fifty silver coins, doesn’t it mean that we people have never seen money? If it spreads in the future, how will we behave as human beings?
By the time these guys arrived in the provincial capital, their assets had been reduced by half. There were too many checkpoints along the way, and some troops from the mountains came down for temporary inspections, mainly to ask for money.
If you give money, you don’t even need to open your box, but if you don’t give money, you will be arrested immediately. They have suffered a lot along the way. They want to resist but dare not. When they see
Who dares to resist those shining bayonets?
No one from top to bottom feels pity for their situation. Although the money you made from the chieftain has nothing to do with us for the time being, this is the territory of the Daqian Empire after all. Every penny you take away
All the money is our blood. If we don't get it back at this time, will we still have a chance when you return to the Junker Empire?
Someone calculated an account for them. Although they have made a lot of money in the past few years, after layer after layer of exploitation, the money these people took away was only a little more than their normal salary. Maybe some
There are still treasures on people's bodies, but they can't be much more. We inspected them very carefully, and we almost asked these people to drag off their underwear for inspection.
This was just a small episode in the war. Gao Shaoyi didn't care about it. After all, after searching everyone, it was only a million silver coins at most. For the construction of the entire three southwestern provinces, this amount of money was really
It's a bit less.
Now Gao Shaoyi is most concerned about the next war. Without any skills, the army of Dongdi Kingdom, led by Saburo Matsumoto, will storm the village of Laxueba Chieftain Chieftain.
From the terrain point of view, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are two exits in the front mountain and the back mountain. The back mountain can only allow one person to go up and down. Although the front mountain is slightly wider, its relative height is nearly 40 meters. The people on the other side are condescending. We have to
If we want to go up from here, our losses will be astronomical.
The imperial court once sent troops to attack here, and there were also a large number of artillery, but there are many anti-gun caves on the mountain. When we fired the artillery, these people would hide honestly. After our people went up, they would come out of the cave again.
He escaped and caused huge losses to the court.
But now is different from that time. We have more artillery than that time, and we have more Dongdi mercenaries who are not afraid of death. Maybe the results will be different.
Lu Linshan was telling Gao Shaoyi the reason why the last imperial attack failed, mainly because the imperial court's firepower was not strong enough, and the imperial army's losses were too great. From the foot of the mountain to here, the losses had exceeded 20%.
There were more than 17,000 people, and the traffic conditions at that time were not very good. Many people lost their lives in the process of transporting the wounded. The imperial court could not bear such losses, so the attack ended here.
, so even if we take a step forward today, we have accomplished something that the ancients could not do.
"Do you think Dongdi's army can attack them?"
After listening to Lu Linshan's introduction, Gao Shaoyi did not make too many comments about the last war. After all, the situation between the last time and now is different. We must focus on the future, focusing on the hired man in front of us.
Only the military can do it.
"I dare not say that if there are enough 150mm heavy artillery, we can definitely kill them. But if we only have mortars, the support will be limited, so I think it will be difficult."
The mountain road is rugged. Although two roads have been built, it is impossible to transport heavy artillery. Currently, only the 105mm howitzer has been transported. As for other heavy artillery, it is now available.
I really don’t have that ability. Even if it has been disassembled, transporting it to a mountain thousands of meters above sea level is still an extremely difficult task.
"You are a bit underestimating the combat effectiveness of the Dongdi Army. Let's not guess here. In half an hour at most, they will go up to the mountain to fight. Then we can take a closer look. Order
The artillery unit directly fired five base shells."
Here in Gao Shaoyi, artillery shells are worthless. Even if it is to clear the way for mercenaries, Gao Shaoyi has no intention of being stingy with artillery shells. After all, this mercenary is very obedient. If he encounters that kind of disobedient one, Gao Shaoyi will
I don't mind lowering the base of the bombardment, and then using war to eliminate a group of disobedient people among them.
It is said that war is bloody. In fact, in the minds of many people, war also serves politics. Politics is the only way to kill people without blood. A thought of a superior person is likely to be heard in thousands of heads.
A few minutes later, the mortar group began their work. A large number of soldiers worked on the assembly line. Five soldiers were responsible for loading a mortar. They were responsible for loading the shells and calibrating the shooting coordinates. This kind of assembly line
The operation also brought the mortar's speed to its peak, and it could fire at least eighteen rounds per minute.
The soldiers of Dongdi Kingdom were dumbfounded. Many of them had served in the army before, but they had never seen such fierce bombardment. From their position, they could see that Lashuba Tusi's village was 3 kilometers away.
The position, at the moment, is a sea of fire, and many soldiers are a little scared. Fortunately, we have become the protector of the suppressing army. We are also standing in the same trench with the suppressing army. If we are still their enemies, I am afraid that this
The artillery hit us. How many people can survive such a fierce bombardment? At least they haven't seen anyone rush out yet.
