The sun was so high that Gao Diao Si had not left his room yet. Originally, he wanted to leave secretly, but even the most sensitive Reggie escaped, and he still did not escape Eve, who was telepathically communicating with him. So after he was caught, he had to continue tormenting the women for a while before leaving while holding on to the wall.
Outside, there were the generals lining up to report again. Diao Si had long wanted to rectify this situation, but at present, he still couldn't let go of many things without personally weighing them.
After settling all these things one by one, it was almost noon. Diao Si then inspected the preparations of various departments, especially those of the arms department, and the day passed.
The next morning, when Diao Si was about to set off, not only Lei Ji's girl, but also Xiaoyan and the others expressed their intention to join the army with Diao Si, so Diao Si had to spend some time to send them away.
It's not that Diao Si looks down on them, but he really can't take them with him in such an important battle. Even if there is no danger, it will not be good if it affects his battle.
In order to seize the time, Diao Si did not wait long enough for the cannons and artillery shells to be mass-produced, so he first gathered the team and marched towards the location in Eastern Xinjiang.
Of course, it is not that Diao Si does not need the powerful supplement of the cannon. He has already arranged that the dragon transport team will continuously transport the newly made munitions, so that it will not affect the speed of the march.
In order to advance into the Chidong Empire, Diao Si had asked the blasting engineering team to remove the previously sealed rocks the day before yesterday. He will not fight an unprepared battle. Many things have been arranged before the official action.
When they arrived at the valley that had been opened, Gong Ying's team immediately came over to greet Diao Si's army. Only then did Diao Si give her a new task, asking her army to stay there after Diao Si captured the Chidong Empire. Ensure that Diao Si's army has no worries and assist the engineering teams to build the railway there.
Such a railway is not to provide backup for Diao Si's army in the war in Chidong, but for the ambitious goal of the future Northern Expedition. If there can be a railway across the entire Chidong Empire directly to the Hengxue Empire, Diao Si's Northern Expedition will be Much smoother.
After passing through the valley, Diao Si left his troops there to rest, and then used his refraction magic to see through the situation there before continuing his action.
According to their previous reconnaissance when drawing the map, the Chidong Empire had basically no defense in the south, so after Diao Si attacked in this way, there was no military force to stop them.
They drove straight in without any obstacles, only encountering some scattered low-level sea beasts looking for food. This allowed Diao Si to test the power of the cannon. Judging from the results of the test, he really did not raise these dwarves in vain.
After marching in the wilderness-like Chidong Empire for a while, they finally found the first Chidong Empire town. In fact, such a town looks like a ruin, and it has probably been abandoned for several months.
Since there were no enemies yet, Diao Si first taught the generals how to use the telescope and other equipment, and also asked the artillerymen from the academy to familiarize themselves with the cannons and cannons.
When Diao Si arrived at a large city in the central and southern part of the Blazing Empire as planned, the dragon transport team from the Imperial City of the Blazing Empire also caught up. In this way, he easily captured the big city and established a The first base camp.
It stands to reason that the Sea Clan of the Chidong Empire should already know that Diao Si is coming. It is estimated that they are transferring some of the sea beast troops from the northern part of the Chidong Empire.
Diao Si is very eager to know how many teams the Sea Clan will send to deal with them, because their current strength is still too weak compared to the hundreds of thousands of sea beast troops. If the Sea Clan transfers most of the teams, If so, he would have to stay in this city first.
Therefore, every move of the enemy is very important to Diao Si. He now mainly relies on artillery shells to fight this battle. What he needs most is a blocker like a city wall, as long as the enemy cannot get close easily.
After only staying in the city for a long time, Diao Si was finally able to find the approaching enemies through refraction magic. They are three relatively scattered teams of sea beasts, but they do not come from the north, but from the surrounding cities. They are sea beast troops stationed in the imperial city of Chidong Empire and surrounding cities.
But the total number of sea beast troops rushing over in this way was tens of thousands. This number was almost the same as the number of Diao Si's team, and those were still powerful sea beasts. This naturally made the generals, especially the recruits from the academy, a little nervous and uneasy. Some of them even asked Diao Si to open fire immediately.
Diao Si first severely criticized the generals and deliberately prevented them from taking any action until the sea beast troops gathered together at that location and suddenly swarmed in front of the city, surrounding the city. stand up.
The generals were even more frightened by Diao Si's actions, which aroused Diao Si's anger even more. He also ordered the generals to patrol the simple walls of the city and let them get close to the man-eating sea beasts and feel them. What about the feeling of oppression
There was a reason for him to do this. If such a small sea beast force made his generals so nervous and scared, how could they face the hundreds of thousands of sea beasts
After giving the generals a lesson before the war, Diao Sicai ordered the cannons to be pointed at the ferocious sea beasts, and then all the recruits who had just graduated from the academy who had not experienced actual combat were completely responsible for the attack.
At first, the sea beast troops were still thinking of ways to surround Diao Si's team and not give them any chance to escape. But after those cannons opened fire, the situation suddenly reversed. They couldn't stand in front of such cannons. It's vulnerable.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the sea beast troops, the generals realized from their fear that such sea beasts were nothing in front of their cannons, and they could only play the role of being abused.
But the situation was still a bit out of control. Just when the sea beasts were bombarded and unable to escape, a team of sea beasts led by a sea warrior finally broke through the simple city wall and rushed in front of the cannons.
But when the Sea Clan warrior gritted his teeth and rushed in front of the cannons to retaliate against those cannons, he was beaten to pieces by the new tube cannons.
While all the soldiers in the city were celebrating their victory happily, Diao Si was not very happy yet. It was not that he had any objection to this strategic approach, but that he felt that the loss of ammunition was too great. In fact, they could save at least 20 to 30% of the ammunition in such a battle.
Diao Si gave the example of using a pipe cannon to kill the Hai clan soldier. In fact, it only needed one cannon to hit its vital points, but the recruits were so nervous that they punched holes all over its body, wasting dozens of dollars. times the number of shells.
Through this summary, Diao Si allowed the soldiers to find their biggest weakness, fear, and continued to guide them on how to overcome this psychology and how to win the battle better.
This is very important, because this war is not like the game, where Diao Si can be completely controlled by one person. Only when everyone becomes stronger and everyone no longer has that fear can he ensure that he can win the battle.
Moreover, the Chidong Empire's sea enemies are just a prelude. They have to face the most powerful northern countries on land. At present, the quality of his soldiers is still far behind them.
After getting rid of the sea beast troops here and observing the surrounding situation within a certain range through refraction magic, Diao Si marched towards their next target city.
Because their main attack power is still those cannons, and this is the enemy's territory. The city is a necessary stronghold to ensure their safety. Only with barriers can their cannons be invincible.
But just when their army was about to take action, a general suddenly came over to report that a living person had been found. This attracted Diao Si's attention, and he rushed over immediately.
Diao Si knew that there were still many living people in the Chidong Empire, but it was a bit abnormal to appear in this location. If they were brought here by the previous sea beast troops, then their purpose of bringing these people here was what? (To be continued)
