Chapter 701: Seven cities in a row(1/2)
If Li Min really wanted to attack the city, it would just be a charge, and there would not even be many casualties. However, Li Min did not issue the order to attack the city at the first time.
Instead, he ordered the army to besiege the city, but did not attack it.
More than 30,000 soldiers surrounded the city and made it impenetrable.
For the three hundred soldiers defending the city, the pressure was extremely great.
Thirty thousand people against three hundred people, one hundred people against one of them.
Even a punch and a kick per person can kill them.
Is there any possibility of defending this city?
As for the people in the city, they are all Eastern Slavs.
They were originally plundered by the people of the Family Alliance, and were oppressed by the Family Alliance along the way.
Of course, these East Slavs have also received some education from the Family Alliance, can speak a few words of Chinese, and can communicate simply with the Han people.
Now, the city is under siege, and the Eastern Slavs in the city are terrified.
Every household closed its doors tightly, trembling with fear.
Although they also know that if the troops besieging the city outside are determined to kill, closing the door behind closed doors will be of no use.
But to some extent, you can also seek some psychological comfort.
But the defenders on the city wall couldn't even find this kind of psychological comfort.
Many soldiers were almost scared to death.
Their legs were trembling, their hands holding the weapons were trembling, and the weapons were trembling.
Li Min ordered his men to take out a loudspeaker and shouted at the city wall: "Listen to the defenders on the city, we are the army of Huaxia City, and you have been surrounded. Those who want to survive, put down your weapons and open the city gate.
Present the city and surrender, and I can protect you from death."
"If not, wait for my order and this city will be destroyed in a flash, and then it will be your death."
Um?
Is it possible to surrender without being killed?
After hearing Li Min's words, the defenders on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
If you surrender without killing, that's fine!
Although there are dozens of these defenders, they are the direct troops of the Family Alliance.
However, in fact, they are not so loyal that they would sacrifice their lives for justice.
If they could surrender without dying, they would never be stingy about surrendering.
However, these people come from aristocratic families and still have some knowledge.
In everything, I want to seek greater benefits.
Even if it is surrender, it will be divided into three levels.
They also want to seek some conditions that are more favorable to them.
Thinking of this, a soldier from the Family Alliance couldn't help but said loudly: "If you want us to surrender, we need to see if you have the strength..."
Biu!
Before he could finish his words, suddenly a gunshot rang out from under the city wall.
The soldier was shot in the forehead, revealing a deep bullet hole, and blood suddenly burst out.
The soldier's mouth was still moving, but there was no sound, and his body fell backwards.
At this time, Li Min couldn't help but sneered: "I don't know, is this strength enough?"
In fact, this is not the first time that thermal weapons have appeared in this world.
When Li Min first arrived in Yizhou, he used thermal weapons.
But the soldiers guarding the city in front of them had definitely never seen thermal weapons.
Never even heard of it.
They did not see anyone firing arrows from the city, and had no idea where the attack came from.
But their robe, who was a living person just now, has now become a brand new, cold corpse.
This fear of the unknown is the greatest fear in the world.
Many of the three hundred soldiers were frightened to death.
"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!"
"We are willing to surrender, but don't kill us!"
"Don't kill us, we surrender!"
Bang!
At first, a soldier dropped his weapon and smashed it on the ground, making a crisp sound.
Dang! Dang!
Then, the second, third, and more soldiers dropped their weapons.
These soldiers hurriedly threw down the city wall and opened the city gate.
Then they knelt down outside the city gate, prostrate themselves on the ground, and trembled.
In this city, Li Min led the army and fired only one shot, and the enemy surrendered obediently.
This made Sanqian, a rifleman who had been holding back all his energy and was bent on making great achievements, feel like his power was nowhere to be used.
And the more than 10,000 new troops were still very nervous when they first entered the battlefield.
Many people had cold sweat on their palms.
But I never expected that fighting would be so easy.
It took no effort at all and easily captured a city.
This made them feel very excited, and at the same time, they also looked down upon those coalition forces from aristocratic families.
Li Min was not in a hurry to enter the city, but just outside the city, he questioned the three hundred defenders.
Soon, Li Min learned that there were only these three hundred defenders in the city.
Among the three hundred defenders, only a few dozen were direct descendants of the Family Alliance.
Li Min directly ordered the soldiers to pick out the direct descendants of the dozens of aristocratic family alliances and behead them in public.
Next, Li Min entered the city and gathered together the East Slavs in the city.
Those East Slavs have been persecuted by the Family Alliance for a long time and have lost their blood.
Everyone was trembling for fear of being killed by these intruders.
However, Li Min soon came to their rescue and issued a new decree.
Li Min promised them that from now on, they would belong to Huaxia City and become the people of Huaxia City.
Each of them can get at least five acres of land.
Each of them only needs to pay 10% of the income from these lands, and all the remaining grain belongs to themselves.
Next, Li Min promulgated ten laws.
Anyone who violates these ten laws will be punished accordingly.
And as long as you don't break the law, you'll be fine.
These ten laws were selected by Li Min in advance.
In the future, the laws of Huaxia City will naturally not be so crude. They can be summarized in ten laws.
However, in front of these East Slavs, the conservative family alliance is persecuting them.
Among them, none of them are even very proficient in Chinese, and this is the most frightening moment in their hearts.
It is impossible for Li Min to be here again, reciting the laws of Huaxia City at length.
Furthermore, do laws such as advertising laws, copyright laws, cultural laws, etc. have anything to do with them?
The ten laws selected by Li Min are concise and easy to understand.
It can also clearly explain the gist of Huaxia City's laws, allowing them to understand what can and cannot be done.
As for those East Slavs, after listening to Li Min's explanation, most of them were frightened.
They left their hometowns and suffered hardships. When they came here, it was obvious that they would never be able to return to their hometowns again.
And following this city lord, it seems that they can live a better life than following the original aristocratic family alliance.
Such a result can be said to be a blessing among misfortunes for them. What else are they dissatisfied with?
Next, Li Min left behind a city lord and deputy city lord, five hundred soldiers, ten riflemen and bombardiers, and some bullets and gunpowder.
To be continued...
