Soon, they arrived a hundred nautical miles away from the Xinluo City Pier. They were extremely familiar with the conditions in the nearby sea areas.
Because the crew members this time are the same crew members who used to deliver supplies to the Zheng family.
After the Aristocratic Family went to war against the aborigines, Li Min regarded the Aristocratic Family as breaking the contract and directly stopped leasing the giant ship to the Aristocratic Family.
And the people of the aristocratic family, after opening up new channels, began to rely less on the giant wheel.
The main thing is that the major cities built by the family have developed to the point where they can barely balance their income and expenses and become self-reliant.
They can mine surrounding minerals and develop based on existing properties.
As for this pier here, there are no giant ships coming and going.
And here they are also working hard to develop the shipbuilding industry.
However, because of their poor foundation, the ships they built could only sail in coastal waters and could not achieve long-distance voyages.
So far, they have only gone out to sea to fish, and the utilization rate of the dock is not high.
Therefore, there are not many people here at the pier.
However, to be cautious, Li Min still sent out an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to conduct some reconnaissance on the situation at the dock.
In the end, Li Min discovered that although this pier was not often used, there was still a garrison there.
These garrisons existed in the past when giant ships were used for navigation.
I guess I haven't had time to evacuate yet.
However, the number of garrison troops was not large, only about five hundred people.
With the garrison here, things become a little more troublesome.
Fortunately, there are not many people, so the problem is not too big.
Moreover, after careful observation, Li Min found that the vigilance of these garrison troops was not high.
It can even be said to be very poor.
Li Min observed carefully for two hours. During this period, he did not see a single soldier coming out to patrol the sea.
It must have been peaceful for too long, and they never thought that the enemy would attack from the direction of the sea.
They are stationed here and basically belong to the forgotten group of people.
Therefore, it is inevitable that military discipline is lax in peacetime.
At night, Li Min sent five small boats and quietly approached the dock under the cover of darkness.
It was a calm journey and we arrived at the pier without anyone noticing.
Regarding the enemy's invasion, the garrison on the dock was not aware of it at all.
Five small boats, with a total of 1,000 people, came ashore quickly, and then quietly sneaked into the military garrison.
It only took less than half an hour to control all the defenders of the Five Hundred Family Alliance inside.
During this period, there was basically no decent resistance.
After controlling all these people, these advance troops immediately sent out a signal.
Next, the giant ship slowly docked.
Ten thousand riflemen, together with fifteen tanks, came ashore.
Next, they rumbled towards Xinluo City.
Now that we're on shore, there's no need to cover up at all.
Fifteen tanks are enough to blast open the gates of Xinluo City.
Ten thousand riflemen, plus fifteen tanks, were enough to capture New Luo City.
On the way, Xue Rengui's face suddenly showed a thoughtful look.
He couldn't help but ask Li Min: "City Lord, can we drive past with such a big fanfare? Shouldn't we sneak past quietly?"
Li Min laughed, patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said: "Rengui, we are an army of tanks and trucks, so what if we alert the defenders of Xinluo City? They still can't do anything to us?
"
"With our speed, we can reach Xinluo City in a short time. There is no need for us to hide our whereabouts!"
Hearing Li Min's words, Xue Rengui blinked his eyes, and then asked: "City Lord, since we don't need to hide our traces, did we still need to send a boat over for a sneak attack just now?"
Um?
That's right, their giant ship actually didn't need to wait until night to sneak attack the soldiers before landing on the shore.
Anyway, for them, what if they were discovered by the five hundred soldiers?
Can they intercept them?
Definitely not!
Are you afraid that they will tip off the news?
With such a short distance, what if Xinluo City discovers it?
With their speed, they can definitely drive the tank outside Xinluo City before they can react completely.
In other words, their sneak attack was actually a useless effort.
Um, okay, this is all inertial thinking that is harming people.
Because according to previous common sense, this was a sneak attack and they must do this.
Li Min looked at Xue Rengui deeply and said nothing.
Xue Rengui turned his head, the corners of his mouth cracked, and he was silently laughing.
This was the first time in so many years that he saw Li Min make a mistake, and he was so happy.
As for Li Min, when he saw Xue Rengui's body squirming, he didn't make any sound.
Obviously, Li Min couldn't help but curl his lips while he was snickering silently.
Who has never done something wrong?
As for the virtue of success?
This place is only over a hundred miles away from Xinluo City.
When they first built the city, they had actually considered whether to set a distance from the dock.
At that time, they felt that the distance of more than a hundred miles was enough for them to buffer.
But now it seems that it is still far from enough!
However, by now, it's too late to say anything.
Xinluo City is the headquarters of the Zheng family.
The news that Li Min led fifteen tanks, plus a hundred trucks, and ten thousand riflemen to attack was still detected by the Zheng family.
However, they were too late to make any response.
Because the speed of Huaxia City is really too fast.
Before they could react, their army had already arrived outside their city.
At this time, the faces of all the senior officials of the Zheng family changed.
If they had not come up with the decision to cut off the circuit, they would have transferred all their direct staff about two days ago.
But because they came up with the clever trick of cutting off the circuit, they were not in a hurry to transfer their direct descendants.
Now, they are busy collecting their wealth and preparing to take away everything they can.
But they never expected that Huaxia City would actually send a large army from the sea.
maritime!
hehe!
In fact, they should have thought of it a long time ago.
However, when people think about problems, they always have blind spots and misunderstandings.
Even Li Min makes some stupid mistakes, let alone others.
They have a serious lack of understanding of threats from the sea.
This resulted in a bitter outcome for them.
But now, their entire Xinluo City can be said to have no defense at all.
Of course, the defense they talk about is not defense in terms of military strength.
We have always had military defense, but facing the tank corps in Huaxia City, it can be said to be useless.
The precaution they refer to is actually a means of mutual destruction.
They are actually preparing supplies, but have not implemented them yet.
Two days ago, the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Wei, had decided to stay and live and die with Xinluo City.
They prepared a large amount of tung oil and planned to pour it on all the houses in Xinluo City.
After Xinluo City was defeated and Huaxia City's troops entered Xinluo City, they lit torches and set fire to all the buildings in Xinluo City.
Die with them.
If there was no strategy to break the circuit, they would have prepared tung oil when they left, and I am afraid it would have been poured on it now.
But because of the circuit-breaking strategy, they felt that it bought them a lot of time.
Therefore, there is no rush to do this, and you can be more prepared.
Of course, the most important point is that we can't add fuel to the fire before the army from Huaxia City arrives.
How can they live after being poured with oil?
It's not safe anymore. When the time comes, I won't even dare to live or cook.
Cooking on a fire can easily set the house on fire.
By then, there would be no need for Huaxia City to send an army to attack, they would just burn themselves down.
What's even more terrible is that the direct descendants of their Zheng family didn't have time to transfer.
According to their plan, they were going to leave with the Zheng family's wealth in a few days.
But now, it's too late.
Their tribe may be exterminated after today.
The owner of the family, Zheng Wei, cannot bear such a tragic result.
Two days ago, Zheng Jing, who proposed the road-breaking strategy for them, was originally a hero in their minds.
And now, the head of the family, Zheng Wei, simply hates him.
It was all his fault. If it weren't for him, how could our Zheng family be in this situation?
"Master, Huaxia City's army is about to arrive outside the city. What should we do now?"
Huaxia City's army actually came from the sea and arrived so quickly.
This was beyond the expectations of all the Zheng clan members.
Faced with this situation, the Zheng clan members panicked.
Zheng Wei, the head of the Zheng family, after thinking for a moment, couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate, and I will go out and talk to them myself."
The people of the Zheng clan couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the words of the family leader.
"Master, you must not do this! If we don't open the city gate, we still have the city to defend. If we open the city gate, wouldn't that mean we are opening the door to the thieves?"
"That's right, head of the family! They bullied people too much, so we fought with them!"
"Rather Stick to your guns!"
The people of the Zheng clan were very angry.
People from aristocratic families, with poems and books passed down from generation to generation, have numerous talents.
Many of them are also bloody.
However, in their hearts, they only have their family and no concept of country.
What they said at this time was true. They really wanted to coexist with Xinluo City.
Seeing this scene, the owner of the family, Zheng Wei, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
"How long can our city last under the bombardment of others?"
"How can we compete with others?"
"Our aristocratic family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it's not just based on whims!"
"For the continuation of the family, we can make any concessions! Everything is for the family!"
"Master!"
"Okay! Stop talking and do what I say!"
So, when Li Min led fifteen tanks and hundreds of trucks, they arrived outside Xinluo City.
Then I discovered a strange scene.
The gates of Xinluo City were wide open, and the family leader Zheng Wei, leading a group of senior officials of the Zheng family, were waiting quietly outside the city.
Seeing this scene, Li Min was stunned for a moment, but soon a knowing smile appeared on his face.
Xue Rengui couldn't help but said in shock: "Which one did they sing?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes!"
"Come on, let's get off the car and go meet them."
Xue Rengui couldn't help frowning and said: "City Lord, it's better for my subordinates to bring someone over. The situation is unknown now. It's too dangerous for you to go over."
Li Min laughed and said: "With just a few small fish and shrimps, what kind of waves can they make? Come on, let's go there together."
Li Minke is also a person who has practiced the Yi Jin Jing.
After about twenty years of practice, Li Min had already developed his inner strength.
Physical fitness is no longer what it used to be.
Although I dare not say that I have become a first-rate master, at the very least, I can be considered a third-rate master.
In addition, there were Xue Rengui and a group of guards around him, and Li Min was still wearing inner armor, so he really wasn't afraid of what these people in front of him would cause trouble.
Soon, Li Min took Xue Rengui, Li Yuanfang and fifty guards and walked towards the head of the Zheng family and his party.
When the Zheng family members saw Li Min, the lord of Huaxia City, leading his people towards them, they also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, they just want to protect the Zheng clan.
As for property, they no longer have many illusions.
Being able to save people is already a blessing for them.
What they fear most is that the people in Huaxia City will not talk to them at all.
As long as you are willing to talk, it proves that there is still room for discussion.
"Zheng Wei brought the Zheng clan members to meet the city lord."
Li Min smiled heartily, and then said: "Master Zheng, it's easy to talk."
Zheng Wei said: "I beg the city lord to let us Zheng clan members have a way to survive!"
This is also their lowest demand, just to survive.
Hearing Zheng Wei's words, Li Min couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "Master Zheng, as long as you Zheng clan members fully cooperate, I can guarantee that everyone can survive. However, next, everyone must
Follow our arrangements!"
Hearing that Li Min agreed so quickly, Zheng Wei couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The lord of Huaxia City, Li Min, has a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold.
As long as it is something he has promised, he will definitely not go back on it.
In this way, the Zheng clan members can be saved.
However, Zheng Wei couldn't help but sigh when he thought that their ambition to build an empire had finally become a mirror image.
Zheng Wei couldn't help but say: "Please rest assured, City Lord, we will definitely cooperate fully! Thank you City Lord for your mercy and bypassing my Zheng clan!"
Li Min couldn't help but said: "We are all Chinese, and I will definitely not hold up the butcher's knife unless necessary."
Yes, we are all Chinese.
Victory or defeat has been decided, and the Zheng family is willing to admit defeat. There is really no need to cause further killings.
What happens next is much simpler.
The Zheng family fully cooperated, and Li Min's army quickly entered the city and took control of Xinluo City.
Next, Li Min ordered their army to go to the broken road and start filling it.
And Huaxia City also got the news.
Unexpectedly, their lightning action was eventually blocked.
In the end, the city lord personally took action and captured Xinluo City in one fell swoop.
