The end of the military era

As for other supplies, I will provide unlimited supplies to the Silver Wolf Column. "

When Li Dongbao heard that Xiang Tao was going to the Silver Wolf Empire with him, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Xiang Tao has a good relationship with these people around Zhou Rui, and Xiang Tao has many unique insights in military operations. At least Li Dongbao was conquered by Xiang Tao's paper talk.

Then Zhou Rui said to Hu Qi: "You immediately draw a group of elite soldiers from the ghost shadow and bring them to the Silver Wolf Empire.

When you arrive in the Silver Wolf Empire, you will not only have to take over the intelligence network of the Silver Wolf Column, but also penetrate the entire Silver Wolf Empire, and try to establish a network of ghosts in the other five orc countries. intelligence network. "

When Hu Qi heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Don't worry, Commander, I, Hu Qi, will definitely live up to the Commander's expectations. We will establish our ghost shadow intelligence network in the six major orc nations."

Zhou Rui added: "This time you go to the Silver Wolf Empire, you must cooperate with the Leopards and the others. Don't be soft-hearted or have any scruples about those who prevent our Zhou family from controlling the Silver Wolf Column."

"Yes, sir."

When Xiang Tao learned that he was going to be sent to the Silver Wolf Empire, he patted his chest and assured Zhou Rui: "Don't worry, Commander. As long as the support from the Commander is in place, I will help the Commander to bring down the Silver Wolf Empire and let the Commander in the Silver Wolf Empire." The Wolf Empire ascends the throne and proclaims itself emperor!"

Zhou Rui couldn't help kicking Xiang Tao's ass, "The Silver Wolf Empire is not the Han and Tang Empires, it's the lair of the werewolves, you have to be careful when you go to the Silver Wolf Empire.

It doesn't matter if you lose your life yourself, but don't make so many brothers die with you. "

Xiang Tao didn't care much about being kicked by Zhou Rui. In Xiang Tao's view, beatings are pro-swearing or love. Looking at the whole Zhou family, he is the only one who has this special treatment.

When Wei Zhao learned that Zhou Rui agreed to fully support the Silver Wolf Column, or take over the Silver Wolf Column, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. At least the Silver Wolf Column would not be wiped out by the Silver Wolf Empire in his hands.

Then Zhou Rui had a long talk with Wei Zhao for a full day, and then Wei Zhao decided to secretly send his wife and children to Ganyang City, and Zhou Rui decided that Wei Zhaolai would still be the commander-in-chief of the Silver Wolf Column. .

Li Dongbao will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief and director of the logistics department of the Silver Wolf Column, Xiang Tao will serve as the director of the Operations Division of the Silver Wolf Column, and Hu Qi will serve as the director of the Intelligence Department of the Silver Wolf Column.

As for the large amount of weapons, ammunition, food, and medicine that Zhou Rui promised to aid the rebels, Zhou Rui will still deliver them in full, but more weapons, ammunition, food, and medicine will be secretly transported to the Silver Wolf Empire.

Chapter 135 Abandoned Son

With the withdrawal of the other five major families in Ganyang City, apart from Zhou's army, only the third division of Fengwu Army remained in the army stationed in Ganyang City.

Since Zhou Rui wanted to monopolize Ganyang City, of course he didn't want this direct army of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion to stay in Ganyang City.

On the morning of May 5th, in a wilderness on the outskirts of Ganyang City, Shen Zhi, commander of the Third Division of the Fengwu Army, looked gloomyly at the rows of large-caliber artillery not far away, and couldn't help asking Zhou Rui: " These guns must have a caliber of 15 millimeters?"

It turned out that today Shen Zhi was dragged out of the city by Zhou Ruiqiang to see the new equipment of Zhou's army.

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "The 100 howitzers here all have a caliber of 105mm and a range of up to 12 kilometers. It is definitely a very good large-caliber heavy artillery."

These 100 cannons were the rewards from a two-star lottery card given by the lottery system in May.

According to the introduction of the lottery system, this artillery is a 1913 French Schneider 105mm howitzer with a maximum rate of fire of 4 rounds per minute, a maximum range of 12 kilometers, and a total weight of 23 tons.

Then Zhou Rui handed a telescope to Shen Zhi, "Uncle Shen, our Zhou family's artillery unit has just received these 100 howitzers, and today is the first live-fire drill.

Uncle Shen helped me see how powerful this howitzer is. If it is still not satisfactory, I plan to buy several hundred more. "

The corner of Shen Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he took the telescope handed over by Zhou Rui without saying a word.

Then 100 105mm howitzers fired three consecutive salvos at a hill in the distance.

Although the theoretical rate of fire of this French Schneider 1913 105mm howitzer can reach 4 rounds per minute, the actual operation is much slower.

In addition, the artillery unit of the Zhou family army received the 100 French Schneider 1913 105mm howitzers for more than ten days, so it took almost 2 minutes for the three rounds of salvo.

But for a howitzer with a caliber of more than 100 mm, the rate of fire of 2 shells in 3 minutes is not too slow.

After three rounds of volleys, the trees and weeds on the hill in the distance had all disappeared, and the whole hill became bare, and even the height of the hill seemed to be a little shorter.

Zhou Rui put down the telescope in his hand, turned to Shen Zhi and asked, "Uncle Shen, is this howitzer not bad?"

Shen Zhi also put down the binoculars, and asked coldly: "Marshal Zhou, I must have invited me over today, not just to see these 100 howitzers!"

Zhou Rui sighed and said, "Our Zhou family has always had a good relationship with Uncle Shen, but there are some things that we can't avoid no matter what."

"It seems that Commander Zhou is not satisfied with driving the five major families out of Ganyang City, and wants to drive my third division out of Ganyang City as well."

"Uncle Shen, Ganyang City will pay 800 million silver coins in taxes to Fengwu Jiedu Mansion every year in the future, this is already the biggest concession made by our Zhou family.

And our Zhou family is willing to provide the third division with 500 million silver coins as a start-up fee.

Uncle Shen, look at these 100 howitzers, I really don't want to meet Uncle Shen in battle! "

"Then what about Jingyang City?"

"Uncle Shen, what I discussed with you is the issue of the third division's evacuation of Ganyang City.

As for Jingyang City, Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion and Fengwu Jiedu Mansion have to discuss it. "

Under Zhou Rui's strength, Fengwu Jiedu envoy Shen Xiao finally decided to let the third division withdraw from the Ganyang area. If the Zhou family was really cruel and directly ate the third division, the loss of Fengwu Jiedu mansion would be huge. too big.

The direct troops of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion are only the first division, the second division, the third division, the first independent brigade and the second independent brigade, and the newly formed No.20 Fourth Independent Brigade and No.20 The Fifth Independent Brigade has just begun to recruit recruits, and it is still far away from becoming an army!

Once the third division with a strength of 25 is eaten by Zhou's army, it means that Fengwu Jiedu Mansion has lost a quarter of its direct troops, and it will have a great impact on Fengwu Jiedu Mansion's rule in the entire Fengwu Town. Influence.

So under Zhou Rui's persecution, Fengwu Jiedu envoy Shen Xiao had to choose to compromise, and first withdraw the third division from the Ganyang area.

The third division of the Fengwu Army left, and the entire Ganyang City, and even the Ganyang area, was completely surnamed Zhou.

The most embarrassing person in Ganyang City at this time is none other than Sun Quan, the lord of Ganyang City.

One must know that Sun Quan, the city lord, was directly appointed by the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, and now that the entire Ganyang City belongs to the Zhou family, what about Sun Quan, the city lord?

In the City Lord's Mansion of Ganyang City, Sun Quan's official wife Lu Shi asked Sun Quan anxiously: "My lord, what about Jiedu Mansion?

The third division has been withdrawn, and the Jiedu Mansion still let the master stay in Ganyang City, isn't it tantamount to adding trouble to the Zhou family? "

Sun Quan smiled wryly and said, "The Jiedu Mansion let me continue to serve as the city lord of Ganyang City, and urge the Zhou family to pay 800 million silver coins in taxes every year on time."

"Master, what exactly does Jiedu Mansion mean?"

"Hey, the Jiedu Mansion has even given up on Ganyang City. How can I care about me, a nameless city lord? I have become an outcast of the Jiedu Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu immediately cursed angrily: "What the hell!

The master has worked diligently for their Shen family for so many years, and there is hard work without credit. Is such a Shen family worthy of allegiance? "

Sun Quan sighed and said: "I also blamed me for being too close to Shen Zhi. You must know that in the Jiedu Mansion, what the eldest son said would be more effective."

"Shen Zhi is not a joke, he patted his ass and left, and he didn't care about the master's life or death."

"Ma'am, when Shen Zhi left, he hoped that I would leave with him."

Lu Shi couldn't help being taken aback, "Then why didn't the master go with Shen Zhi?"
