Boom! A flash of fire flashed, and a cannonball accurately hit the bottom of the city's iron gate.
Then, it exploded again.
A big hole was blown out of the iron gate.
The huge shock wave shook the iron door and shook it.
The surrounding hundred-meter city wall trembled and filled with smoke and dust.
The defensive soldiers on the city wall were shaken to and fro, and some soldiers were knocked directly to the ground.
At this time, they were terrified.
Oh my God!
What the hell is that?
How could it be so powerful?
All of a sudden, even the city walls were shaking?
If the city wall were to be blown up directly, wouldn't it be possible for the city wall to collapse in just a few seconds?
Boom! Boom!
As for Huaxia City, they didn't give them much thought or time to react.
A dozen shots were fired in succession.
Even the thick iron gate and the dozens of meters of city walls on both sides of the city gate were directly blasted.
The soldiers on the city wall only had time to let out a short scream, but they were soon drowned in smoke and dust, making their traces difficult to find.
The soldiers from other family alliances on the city wall were frightened into silence.
Next, those steel chariots rumbled into action, driving easily past the ruins of broken walls and directly into the city.
In the end, a hundred tanks were left, and they began to aim at the city wall, and slowly raised the iron pipes, seeming to bombard the city wall next.
On the city wall, there were many soldiers from the Family Alliance who had been frightened.
They had not fully recovered from the shock, and were at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to react.
They would definitely not be able to defeat them. They relied on their solid city walls to have the determination and confidence to fight against Huaxia City.
Now that the city walls have been blown down, what can they do to compete with Huaxia City?
Now, all the steel chariots from Huaxia City have entered their city.
They could see with helpless eyes that their comrades on the street were swept away by the fire stick weapons on the steel chariots of China City, swept away like fallen leaves by the autumn wind.
If they go down, they may die.
And at this moment, they discovered to their horror that the steel chariots of Huaxia City were actually about to bombard the city wall!
Doesn't this cost your life?
If they were bombarded several times, where would their lives be?
There is great fear between life and death!
At the critical moment of life and death, they burst out with great energy, raised their hands high and shouted loudly: "Surrender! Surrender! Don't fight! Don't fight!"
…
The journey to the five cities took two hours.
The siege of the city only took half an hour.
After breaking the city, they only left a small number of soldiers to take over, and the rest of the large force set off vigorously.
They had anticipated this situation long before setting off.
Therefore, next, Shangguan Yi will send personnel from Huaxia City.
Just thinking that time was a bit tight, they only took three days to assemble the army.
If there was more time, the officials and troops sent by Shangguan Yi to take over could even proceed simultaneously.
Now, due to time constraints, we cannot do it so quickly, so we can only do it more slowly.
And in the end, in one day, five armies and horses managed to capture fifteen cities in a row.
Together with every army and horse, we conquered three cities in a row.
This happened when their cities were too far apart from each other.
If the cities were denser, they could attack more cities.
They captured fifteen cities in one day and captured the 50,000-strong army of the Family Alliance.
Naturally, there are not so many defenders in other cities in the Family Alliance.
The east is the area they decided to focus on defense, and there are also troops who have evacuated from the south.
Moreover, the fifteen cities in front are still the closest to Huaxia City.
Therefore, the defenders here are naturally the largest.
However, so many people were unable to resist the tanks of Huaxia City.
Either they died under artillery fire and bullets, or they chose to surrender.
This kind of war speed is really as fast as lightning.
As they approached, the senior officials of the Family Alliance did not react at all.
In fact, many senior members of the Family Alliance were captured.
After all, they need to be close to Huaxia City so that they can be easily commanded.
They never expected that Huaxia City's attack speed would be so fast.
They never thought that their solid city would be completely vulnerable to the steel chariots of Huaxia City.
And they, without any surprise, were captured by Huaxia City.
After being captured, they tried to hide among ordinary soldiers to conceal their true identities.
Because Huaxia City is still very friendly towards prisoners.
As long as those prisoners are obedient, there will never be any precedent of mistreating prisoners in Huaxia City.
As early as the Tang Dynasty, when it was still the period of the King of Shu, they had this style, which continues to this day.
In fact, as long as you obey the arrangements obediently, you can still be reused by them and live a good life.
Even the poorest people can still eat and drink without worries.
Therefore, when fighting Huaxia City, as soon as they found out that they could not defeat them, those soldiers would surrender immediately.
Because they firmly believe that as long as they surrender, they will not only survive, but also live better than they are now.
Of course, the senior officials of the Family Alliance are not in this case.
Naturally, they are not willing to follow Huaxia City and live an ordinary life.
They just hope to be quietly invisible among ordinary soldiers.
After being assigned, you can escape secretly when you have time.
It is even possible that they can spy on some information about Huaxia City.
But soon, they discovered that they seemed to be thinking too much.
Because the people from Huaxia City easily found them in the crowd.
The intelligence of Huaxia City is completely unmatched by the Family Alliance.
All middle and high-level personnel of the Family Alliance are registered in Huaxia City.
Therefore, the high-level officials of the Family Alliance were a little too naive in their thinking.
Want to run? No way!
All those high-level officials were arrested.
And half of the senior officials of the Family Alliance who were in charge in the east were arrested at once.
The remaining people, when they got the news that Huaxia City had conquered fifteen cities in one day, couldn't help but be confused.
How could it be so fast?
Is their city just made of paper?
At this time, they finally found out.
It turns out that the steel chariots in Huaxia City with steel pipes in the front are called tanks.
The steel pipe in front is called the gun barrel, and what is fired inside is called the cannonball.
The fire sticks in Huaxia City are actually called rifles.
There are bullets in the rifle. It turns out that the rifle cannot attack by itself.
The gunman needs to pull the trigger to attack.
As for the principle of rifles and bullets, they also have no idea.
The most important thing is that so far, they have no way to find a way to deal with tanks and rifles.
They have all seen the power of tanks.
As for the range, as far as they know, it is at least five hundred meters.
Because their tanks bombarded their city gate from five hundred meters away.
As for whether the range will be longer, they still don't know yet.
The range of the rifle is at least three hundred meters.
The information they currently know is very little, and this is all they know so far.
They racked their brains and couldn't figure out how to resist the invasion of Huaxia City.
That night, some senior officials of the Family Alliance sneaked away.
They suspected that maybe the city where they were located would be captured by Huaxia City the next day.
And the fact was not beyond their expectations.
On the second day, Huaxia City's army easily conquered fifteen more cities.
In two days, the five armies captured a total of thirty cities.
We have advanced six to seven hundred miles.
Such speed was absolutely unheard of and unseen before.
Because for previous wars.
Not to mention that in two days, he could conquer six to seven hundred miles and defeat thirty cities in a row.
Even if they were forced to march in a hurry, they would not be able to run that fast in two days.
Unless they are cavalry, if they don't carry any baggage and march with all their strength, they may be able to run that fast.
But even such cases are rare.
Such a blitzkrieg caused the people of the Family Alliance to lose all resistance and judgment.
In fact, even their senior management and command staff in the east were almost wiped out in one fell swoop.
Are there any smarter ones who sneak away overnight and run away crazily all the time?
Finally, he managed to force himself out and managed to escape without any danger.
But at this time, they had not rushed to the latest city and had not yet conveyed the news.
At this time, the strength of the eastern part of the Family Alliance was so strong that they were unable to convey specific information.
It's really because the speed of Huaxia City's attack has far exceeded the speed of their message transmission.
…
The Family Alliance also built a huge city in the east.
This city was built very early.
In the early days, several major aristocratic families settled in the Golden State at the same time, and the Zheng family among the aristocratic families chose this place.
Of course, the Zheng family was actually an area selected from the places that Li Min deliberately spread.
This area is strategically located and not far from the coastline.
Here, the Zheng family built a large city called Xinluo City.
The Zheng family had its roots in the Tang Dynasty in Henan.
This New Luo City actually means New Luoyang City.
Luoyang City, as an ancient capital, served as the capital in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, and Sui Dynasty.
The Zheng family named the city they built Xinluo City, and their intention was clear.
Of course, Luoyang City is located in the Central Plains region and is an important transportation thoroughfare.
At this point, New Luo City obviously cannot be compared.
The city that is more like Luoyang City is naturally Huaxia City.
Of course, Li Min, the King of Shu at the time, was the first to choose Huaxia City, and naturally no one else could compete with him.
The construction style of New Luo City was also a drawing deliberately circulated by Li Min.
Including the underground drainage system, it was all designed by Yan Liben himself.
This system is scientific and reasonable and can ensure that the underground drainage system will be sufficient for a hundred years without major problems.
In other words, once Huaxia City captures Xinluo City, it can be put into use directly without any changes at all.
It can be expanded directly on the original basis.
The underground drainage system and the layout of the city were all constructed according to the drawings deliberately circulated by Li Min, so there will definitely be no problems.
Well, this is actually the reason why Li Min deliberately circulated the construction drawings to them.
At this time, Huaxia City's army was only about a thousand miles away from Xinluo City.
Well, actually, this distance was still a very far distance in ancient times.
At the same time, it is also a pretty safe distance.
But now for the rulers of Xinluo City, this distance is really too dangerous.
Because Huaxia City's army is simply not human.
In two days, they can conquer thirty cities in a row and advance a distance of seven to eight hundred miles.
For them, it only takes three or four days to conquer the thousand-mile journey.
And what can they do if they only have three or four days?
The city walls of Xinluo City are stronger than all the cities and walls that Huaxia City has captured before.
The defenses are tighter and the supplies for defending the city are more abundant.
If it were any other army, no matter how many people came, they would be confident that they would be able to hold on for at least three years.
Because their Xinluo City was built on a mountain with only two sections of city walls, which put pressure on defense.
As for these two sections of city wall, the amount of troops you can invest in attacking the city will be limited by the terrain.
In addition, there is plenty of food in Xinluo City.
After three years of defense, they have full confidence.
But if the target of the attack is changed to Huaxia City, they really don't have the confidence to hold on for three days.
Because, Huaxia City's tanks are so sharp.
After several cannon blasts, their city gates and walls were about to collapse.
How can they defend in this situation?
They have never been so frightened since arriving in the Golden State.
Their ambitions and their imperial hegemony will most likely disappear under the attack of Huaxia City.
Now, it has reached a critical moment of life and death for their Zheng family.
All the senior officials of the Zheng family gathered together and held a family meeting.
"Everyone must be aware of the current situation. Now let's put our heads together and let's talk about it. What should we do in the face of the threat from China City?"
"Master, this Xinluo City is our hard work! We have thrown all the savings of the entire family for hundreds of years into this place! We have no way out, we are here to fight with them!"
"Yes, our Zheng family is also a good and bloody man! We will fight with them!"
"Hmph! Let me ask you? How do we fight? We have tanks and rifles in Huaxia City. The tanks can easily blast open our city gate, and the rifles can shoot from a distance of three hundred meters. What should we fight for? We risk our lives.
