Global Games: I am invincible
Chapter 173
Less than an hour.
Jicheng fell into Lu Ming’s hands.
Only half of the 2,400 rounds of artillery ammunition were used. There was also a lot of ammunition left for the 800 armed guards, and the sugar they carried was almost uneaten.
After the capture of General City.
The Wuwei Army completely controlled the situation in the city. In this battle, more than 1,000 defenders of the relay city were killed, and all 500 forbidden troops were killed, with no one surviving.
The surviving defenders knew that resistance would lead to death, so they abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and all of them became prisoners of the armed guards, a total of more than 3,000 people.
Jicheng can afford more defenders, but there is no need. Thousands of defenders are enough to deal with all troubles except Dacheng and Beishuo.
If Dacheng and Beishuo sent troops, there would be no need for Jicheng to resist stubbornly. Therefore, it would be enough to maintain thousands of defenders in the city.
Lu Ming’s armed guards were an exception.
Without muskets and artillery, it would be absolutely impossible for 800 people to capture a large city, unless these 800 people were the city’s forbidden troops and could launch an attack from within.
anyway.
The Wuwei Army forcibly captured Jicheng with 800 men. This matter will soon spread throughout the world. It is still unknown how Dacheng and Beishuo will react.
With Jicheng’s special geographical location, if there is any trouble, the two will definitely be very nervous. Moreover, they don’t know Lu Ming’s attitude yet.
Jicheng must remain neutral!
If Lu Ming had a clear attitude of surrendering to or attaching himself to one of the parties, then a war would be inevitable.
certainly.
Lu Ming will definitely remain neutral, otherwise what he is doing by capturing Jicheng is to seek a period of stable development in this balance.
In Jicheng Palace.
This place was once the capital of the old dynasty, so the royal palace is extremely grand. It is located in the center of the inner city and occupies about one-fifth of the area of the inner city.
Lu Ming walked up the stairs and stepped into the magnificent hall. The hall had carved beams and painted pillars, and a five-clawed golden dragon coiled around the golden pillars, which was lifelike.
The top convenience is a dragon chair.
It once symbolized the most extreme power in the world!
Teams of the Wuwei Army were arriving outside the main hall. They looked at Lu Ming’s back standing in the main hall and bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to look directly at Lu Ming’s figure.。
“Sir, the whole city has fallen under the control of the armed guards, and all the city gates have been closed. King Ji tried to escape, but we intercepted him at Yongning Gate and captured him!
Lu Ming asked: “What are the casualties of the armed guards? “”
“A total of forty people were killed and thirty were seriously injured. Most of them were injured by crossbow arrows when they stormed the archery tower. The injured are now being treated in a medical center.。”
“There are many imperial doctors at the Imperial Medical Office in the palace. Let them go and take a look. If you need any medicine, just come to the Imperial Medical Office to get it.。”
“I understand the humble position! ”
After the Wuwei Army reported, one of Lu Ming’s guards arrived immediately.。
“Sir, according to your instructions, we have led several groups of armed guards and have successfully controlled all the grain warehouses in Jicheng.。”
“very good.
Lu Ming then ordered: “Order people to search the warehouse and collect all saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. In addition, send people to search the merchants in the city. If there is saltpeter in their goods, I will seize them all. ” ”
Among the raw materials of black gunpowder, saltpeter accounts for the highest proportion, reaching more than 60%. However, this substance is the rarest, and the most common charcoal accounts for the lowest proportion. This battle consumes a lot of money, and the first thing Lu Ming has to do is
to Replenish the ammunition. As long as there is enough ammunition, everything will not be a problem. There are
many ordnances in Jicheng, and there i
(Read more novels by visiting our website: Knights Novel) s no shortage of iron tools, which can be used to make bullets and cannonballs. I just don’t know how many iron ingots are in stock in the warehouse. It would be okay if there were more
. Build some cannons to strengthen the firepower and defense of Jicheng.
Not long after,
a group of people were escorted into the main hall. The leader was wearing fine clothes, but his hair was disheveled at the moment, with a look of sorrow and despair on his face, and his heart was as gray as death.。
“Thief!”
“We are important ministers of a country, how dare you treat me like this! ”
The people behind them roared in anger. They
were filled with grief and anger.
A guard reported: “My lord, the leader here is the successor king, and the rest are all ministers of the successor country. Your Majesty has not given any orders, and my subordinates don’t know what to do.。”
“All executed. ”
Lu Ming doesn’t care about these people at all. After all, they are the royal family and dignitaries of the successor country. They will cause endless trouble. If one day they come back under the banner of regaining the royal power, it will be another trouble.
Simply Kill them all.
Being soft-hearted at this time is laying trouble for the future. You are simply afraid that you will not die. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.。
“Yes! ”
The guards took the order.
Then they dragged the successor king and all the ministers out and chopped them all. The
successor king’s eyes were lifeless and he didn’t say a word the whole time. He didn’t react at all until he was executed.
Half a day later,
the guards led the military guards inside and outside the palace. Nearly 20,000 kilograms of saltpeter were found in the warehouse of the city, and nearly 20,000 kilograms of saltpeter were also found in the merchant fleet in the city. A
total of about 40,000 kilograms of saltpeter!
There is no shortage of sulfur and charcoal.
As a great city, Jicheng Beishuo, an important city for trade and commerce, basically has everything you need. It can be said to be extremely wealthy. However,
in Lu Ming’s eyes, all gold, silver and jewelry are not as precious as saltpeter at this time. With 40,000 kilograms of saltpeter, he It can produce nearly 60,000 kilograms of black gunpowder!
Such a huge amount of black gunpowder can be used for a long time even if Lu Ming uses it with all his strength. If it is rationed into flintlock ammunition, that is a full 1.5 million
. Fa!
What an astonishing number.
With such sufficient confidence, Lu Ming can launch a large-scale military expansion.
Not only that.
The amount of iron in Jicheng is very sufficient, so sufficient that Lu Ming does not need to use the ordnance in the arsenal, just The iron ingots in the warehouse were enough to produce a large number of bullets and artillery shells.
Not only was the ammunition of the Wuwei Army replenished, but there were also 240 more light artillery pieces. Lu Ming also manufactured an additional 50 heavy artillery pieces
in case of emergency.
With such firepower, Lu Ming was not afraid even if Dacheng and Beishuo were approaching the city at this time!
After solving the ammunition problem, Lu Ming began to rectify the situation in Jicheng. The less than 800 armed guards alone were not enough to take care of the entire Jicheng.
Re- After the original officials of the city were mobilized, the city quickly resumed operations, and all three thousand defenders in custody were released to control order in the city. The Wuwei Army
supervised the defenders.
At the same time,
Lu Ming gave the order, and the Wuwei Army began to operate on a large scale To expand the army, we adopted the method of veterans managing new recruits, and recruited young men from within Jicheng to join the army. In
just ten days,
the number of soldiers of the Wuwei Army reached 3,000!
Another day passed.
Jicheng slowly lowered the suspension bridge outside the city wall, and the city gate Opening wide, groups of merchants poured out of the city as if fleeing for their lives, running towards various roads.
On the same day,
Lu Ming issued an order: “From now on, Jiguo will no longer exist, and Jicheng will be renamed Xin’an City! “
