If Li Min really wanted to attack the city, it would just be a charge, and there would not even be many casualties. However, Li Min did not issue the order to attack the city at the first time.
Instead, he ordered the army to besiege the city, but did not attack it.
More than 30,000 soldiers surrounded the city and made it impenetrable.
For the three hundred soldiers defending the city, the pressure was extremely great.
Thirty thousand people against three hundred people, one hundred people against one of them.
Even a punch and a kick per person can kill them.
Is there any possibility of defending this city?
As for the people in the city, they are all Eastern Slavs.
They were originally plundered by the people of the Family Alliance, and were oppressed by the Family Alliance along the way.
Of course, these East Slavs have also received some education from the Family Alliance, can speak a few words of Chinese, and can communicate simply with the Han people.
Now, the city is under siege, and the Eastern Slavs in the city are terrified.
Every household closed its doors tightly, trembling with fear.
Although they also know that if the troops besieging the city outside are determined to kill, closing the door behind closed doors will be of no use.
But to some extent, you can also seek some psychological comfort.
But the defenders on the city wall couldn't even find this kind of psychological comfort.
Many soldiers were almost scared to death.
Their legs were trembling, their hands holding the weapons were trembling, and the weapons were trembling.
Li Min ordered his men to take out a loudspeaker and shouted at the city wall: "Listen to the defenders on the city, we are the army of Huaxia City, and you have been surrounded. Those who want to survive, put down your weapons and open the city gate.
Present the city and surrender, and I can protect you from death."
"If not, wait for my order and this city will be destroyed in a flash, and then it will be your death."
Um?
Is it possible to surrender without being killed?
After hearing Li Min's words, the defenders on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
If you surrender without killing, that's fine!
Although there are dozens of these defenders, they are the direct troops of the Family Alliance.
However, in fact, they are not so loyal that they would sacrifice their lives for justice.
If they could surrender without dying, they would never be stingy about surrendering.
However, these people come from aristocratic families and still have some knowledge.
In everything, I want to seek greater benefits.
Even if it is surrender, it will be divided into three levels.
They also want to seek some conditions that are more favorable to them.
Thinking of this, a soldier from the Family Alliance couldn't help but said loudly: "If you want us to surrender, we need to see if you have the strength..."
Biu!
Before he could finish his words, suddenly a gunshot rang out from under the city wall.
The soldier was shot in the forehead, revealing a deep bullet hole, and blood suddenly burst out.
The soldier's mouth was still moving, but there was no sound, and his body fell backwards.
At this time, Li Min couldn't help but sneered: "I don't know, is this strength enough?"
In fact, this is not the first time that thermal weapons have appeared in this world.
When Li Min first arrived in Yizhou, he used thermal weapons.
But the soldiers guarding the city in front of them had definitely never seen thermal weapons.
Never even heard of it.
They did not see anyone firing arrows from the city, and had no idea where the attack came from.
But their robe, who was a living person just now, has now become a brand new, cold corpse.
This fear of the unknown is the greatest fear in the world.
Many of the three hundred soldiers were frightened to death.
"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!"
"We are willing to surrender, but don't kill us!"
"Don't kill us, we surrender!"
Bang!
At first, a soldier dropped his weapon and smashed it on the ground, making a crisp sound.
Dang! Dang!
Then, the second, third, and more soldiers dropped their weapons.
These soldiers hurriedly threw down the city wall and opened the city gate.
Then they knelt down outside the city gate, prostrate themselves on the ground, and trembled.
In this city, Li Min led the army and fired only one shot, and the enemy surrendered obediently.
This made Sanqian, a rifleman who had been holding back all his energy and was bent on making great achievements, feel like his power was nowhere to be used.
And the more than 10,000 new troops were still very nervous when they first entered the battlefield.
Many people had cold sweat on their palms.
But I never expected that fighting would be so easy.
It took no effort at all and easily captured a city.
This made them feel very excited, and at the same time, they also looked down upon those coalition forces from aristocratic families.
Li Min was not in a hurry to enter the city, but just outside the city, he questioned the three hundred defenders.
Soon, Li Min learned that there were only these three hundred defenders in the city.
Among the three hundred defenders, only a few dozen were direct descendants of the Family Alliance.
Li Min directly ordered the soldiers to pick out the direct descendants of the dozens of aristocratic family alliances and behead them in public.
Next, Li Min entered the city and gathered together the East Slavs in the city.
Those East Slavs have been persecuted by the Family Alliance for a long time and have lost their blood.
Everyone was trembling for fear of being killed by these intruders.
However, Li Min soon came to their rescue and issued a new decree.
Li Min promised them that from now on, they would belong to Huaxia City and become the people of Huaxia City.
Each of them can get at least five acres of land.
Each of them only needs to pay 10% of the income from these lands, and all the remaining grain belongs to themselves.
Next, Li Min promulgated ten laws.
Anyone who violates these ten laws will be punished accordingly.
And as long as you don't break the law, you'll be fine.
These ten laws were selected by Li Min in advance.
In the future, the laws of Huaxia City will naturally not be so crude. They can be summarized in ten laws.
However, in front of these East Slavs, the conservative family alliance is persecuting them.
Among them, none of them are even very proficient in Chinese, and this is the most frightening moment in their hearts.
It is impossible for Li Min to be here again, reciting the laws of Huaxia City at length.
Furthermore, do laws such as advertising laws, copyright laws, cultural laws, etc. have anything to do with them?
The ten laws selected by Li Min are concise and easy to understand.
It can also clearly explain the gist of Huaxia City's laws, allowing them to understand what can and cannot be done.
As for those East Slavs, after listening to Li Min's explanation, most of them were frightened.
They left their hometowns and suffered hardships. When they came here, it was obvious that they would never be able to return to their hometowns again.
And following this city lord, it seems that they can live a better life than following the original aristocratic family alliance.
Such a result can be said to be a blessing among misfortunes for them. What else are they dissatisfied with?
Next, Li Min left behind a city lord and deputy city lord, five hundred soldiers, ten riflemen and bombardiers, and some bullets and gunpowder.
I believe that with these, this city can hold on for a while even if it is besieged by an army of ten thousand people.
And this place is only close to the train station.
The phone call has been made here.
If this city is attacked, the news will be sent out quickly, and reinforcements will arrive in no more than a day.
With this speed, this small town will not suffer too much danger.
For the low-level official positions in the city, Li Min let the city lord who stayed behind make the decision and select appointments from among these East Slavs.
This move also made those East Slavs feel the goodwill of the city lord, and they felt more and more that this time, they really got lucky and followed the right person.
After leaving the people behind, Li Min did not stop and continued towards the second city.
This second city is a full seventy miles away from the first city.
Its size is comparable to this first city.
For Li Min, this second city was actually just a matter of time on the road.
Here at the pier, there are many vehicles.
You know, when they first came to the Golden State, there was no such train line.
At that time, transportation was all done by automobile.
Although trains were later developed and long-distance transportation by automobile was gradually abandoned.
But short-distance transportation still uses a large number of cars.
Not to mention here, there are various supply points and vehicles along the entire train track.
The midpoint where Xue Rengui wants to go is naturally no exception, and there are some.
It is precisely because of these automobile transportation that they did not bring steel chariots this time.
By car, the more than seventy-mile journey can be reached in just over an hour.
The situation of this second city is almost the same as that of the first city.
They didn't encounter much resistance.
The only difference was probably that I killed a few more people this time.
After several die-hards on the city wall were shot to death with guns.
The defenders of this city also announced their surrender.
As usual, after killing those direct soldiers of the Family Alliance and reading out their laws to the East Slavs who were captured in the city, there were actually a few cheers among the East Slavs here.
It turned out that these East Slavs had heard about Huaxia City inadvertently.
I know that the Chinese city lord is extremely kind.
By following Huaxia City, their lives will definitely be much better than those of the demons they originally followed.
On the map left by Zhao Da, there are only these two cities.
This is also because the area near the dock that Zhao Da can patrol is only so large.
Outside these two cities, they had no information about the family alliance.
As for this information, Li Min could only obtain it from the newly captured town.
Soon, Li Min obtained the defense map of the nearby Family Alliance's sphere of influence from among the surrendered soldiers.
There is no big city around these two small cities, but there are five small cities around them.
Next, Li Min rushed to these five small towns in a car without stopping.
Then at night, these five cities completely belonged to Huaxia City.
In one day, he conquered seven cities in a row without any effort.
The soldiers led by Li Min spent the whole day, and even except for the snipers, the other soldiers did not even get a chance to take action.
I have to say that it is too easy to fight with the city lord.
It just feels a bit unsatisfactory.
Especially those riflemen, they have been trained for a long time.
But it has never been fired in actual combat.
They fully wanted to have a hand in this war.
But we never expected that the enemy would be so weak.
They even want to make their enemies tougher.
Because it is too unchallenging to defeat enemies like this.
However, as the coach, Li Min was not dazzled by the victory.
Because before the battle, Li Min clearly realized that these enemies were all paper tigers and vulnerable to a single blow.
This situation is absolutely normal.
However, tomorrow they will encounter the first challenge they will encounter during the battle.
Tomorrow, in front of them, the first big city of the Family Alliance will appear.
The population of this city exceeds one hundred thousand.
There are as many as three thousand defenders inside.
Okay, three thousand defenders doesn't sound like much.
After all, the army brought by Li Min totaled 30,000 people.
With ten times the enemy's strength, it is not difficult to capture the city.
But three thousand defenders are really a big city for the Aristocratic Family Alliance.
Because, how many cities have the entire Family Alliance built here in the Golden State?
Over the years, they have continued to make plans.
In the past year, they have plundered countless people and countless resources.
With abundant population and resources, they expanded crazily.
Thousands of cities were built.
If there are only a thousand people left in a city, then they need millions of troops.
So, does the Family Alliance have millions of troops?
The answer is definitely no.
They can muster hundreds of thousands of troops, which is their limit.
However, they must still leave their direct troops in these cities.
If not, there might be a coup in this city.
However, there are not many armies cultivated by the Family Alliance itself.
Now that many cities have been built in one go, where can we find the people?
Therefore, there are only a few dozen of their soldiers in each of those small cities.
For such a large city of 100,000 people, it is quite unusual for it to be equipped with 3,000 garrison guards.
Because other cities of this size probably only have about a thousand defenders.
There is a saying that the human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.
It is just right to put it on the Family Alliance.
With their strength, there is actually no way they can swallow up the entire Golden State in one go.
But the opportunity was so rare that they didn't even care that they didn't have such a big appetite.
It swallowed up the entire Golden State alive and well.
This also gave Li Min every opportunity to defeat them.
The strength of the Family Alliance was originally not as good as that of Huaxia City.
And now, they have spread their strength infinitely.
In this way, it will give Huaxia City every opportunity to defeat them.
