Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 6 Power On
On the morning of January 3011, 30 in the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Xu, the deputy captain of the Second Infantry Brigade in Fushan County, and several guards hurried from the Royal Bank Building in Xingang City to the No. [-] Ninth Infantry of the former Royal Army. A military camp of the regiment, Su Yi and the biochemical officers and soldiers were stationed in this military camp at this time.

After Zhou Xu saw Su Yi, he said excitedly: "Fourth young master, let the brothers in the Xingang City Security Squadron pack up quickly. Under the mediation of the baron, the military department finally revoked the second infantry brigade of Fushan County. Adhere to Xingang City's order and allow our Fushan County Second Infantry Battalion to leave Xingang City!"

Su Yi rubbed his chin, smiled slightly and said, "This is good news. The Second Infantry Battalion can finally go home."

Zhou Xu went on to say: "Fourth young master, we must move quickly. The military headquarters also sent a report that the army of the Heavenly Star Empire in the Hedong Province has dispatched an infantry regiment and is heading towards Xingang City. , maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will arrive in Xingang City, we must hurry up and strive to leave Xingang City by boat this afternoon."

When Su Yi heard that the army of the Skystar Empire had finally sent troops to Xingang City, he couldn't help sighing. However, for the army of the Skystar Empire, only one infantry regiment was sent, and Su Yi felt a little relieved.

"Zhou Xu, then lead the Second Infantry Brigade out of Xingang City as soon as possible! Go back and tell your father that our Su family has enjoyed the favor of the royal family for generations. Now is the time for our Su family to serve the royal family. I, Su Yi, will lead the newly formed Xingang City. City Guard Squadron, I swear to defend Xingang City to the death, as long as I, Su Yi, am alive, I will definitely not let Xingang City fall into the hands of the Skystar Empire!" Su Yi said awe-inspiringly.

Zhou Xu stared at Su Yi dumbfounded. Zhou Xu wondered if the fourth young master really burned his head out a while ago. You must know that the Tianxing Empire will soon have an infantry regiment arriving in Xingang City. 500 people, stick to Xingang City!
"Four...Fourth young master, don't be impulsive. The military department really revoked the order to let us stick to Xingang City, and an infantry regiment from the Skystar Empire is coming soon. We still..."

Before Zhou Xu finished speaking, Su Yi said decisively: "Zhou Xu, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind. This afternoon, I will use a clear code to electrify the whole country to show my confidence in sticking to Xingang City!"

"Clearly power on? This...fourth young master, you only have 500 people in your hands, and you don't even have heavy weapons. The Baron will not agree with you to do this!"

Su Yi waved his hand and said, "Although I, Su Yi, am powerless to turn the tide, I do have the heart to kill myself! Zhou Xu, hurry up and lead the Second Infantry Brigade to evacuate Xingang City by boat. There are only two infantry brigades in our Su family. The Second Infantry Battalion must not be lost in Xingang City!"

In fact, at the barracks of the No.30 Nine Infantry Regiment of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire at this time, Su Yi had more than 3000 biochemical humans under his command, including two all-round senior elite combat biochemical humans, and [-] army soldiers. There are [-] army-type junior combat cyborgs.

And these more than 60 people can be said to be armed to the teeth. The system produced [-] rifles, [-] pistols, [-] submachine guns, [-] sniper rifles, [-] general-purpose machine guns, and [-] [-]mm mortars. , were all extracted by Su Yi, and the equipment was given to these more than [-] officers and soldiers.

This is because the area of ​​the barracks is not large enough, otherwise Su Yi would also plan to summon [-] naval-type intermediate combat cyborgs and [-] navy-type junior combat cyborgs.

The New Year's gift package given by the system not only doubled the strength in Su Yi's hands, but also inflated Su Yi's ambition.

Now that the royal family of the Liuyun Empire has given up Xingang City, then I, Su Yi, will not be polite. As long as I can block the attack of the army of the Skystar Empire in Xingang City, then even if the war between the Liuyun Empire and the Skystar Empire is over, The royal family of the Liuyun Empire will never want to take Xingang City back from my hand, Su Yi.

Seven days ago, the system also released the task of defending Xingang City for 30 days. This is another reason why Su Yi is determined to defend Xingang City. What's more, the best way for Su Yi to improve his military rank in the system is to fight.

He Yunfei and Wang Chengliang, the newly summoned all-round high-level elite combat cyborg, were very opposed to Su Yi's crazy plan, but after learning that Su Yi still had a former dreadnought battleship, a dreadnought battleship and more than two thousand soldiers Afterwards, the naval officers and soldiers were finally persuaded by Su Yi and began to formulate a battle plan to defend Xingang City.

Soon, Baron Su Mingyuan, who was far away in Fushan County, Anping County, Hedong Province, received a telegram from Zhou Xu.

According to the administrative division of the Liuyun Empire, each province has several counties under its jurisdiction, and each county has several counties under its jurisdiction. For example, Xingang and Anping are both county towns, and Fushan is just a county town.

In a study room in the Baron’s Mansion in Fushan County, Baron Su Mingyuan slammed the telegram on the table, “You bastard, you really don’t know the heights of heaven and earth! I don’t know where I got hundreds of veterans and a group of Weapons and ammunition, dare to say that you will stick to Xingang City, and immediately send a telegram to tell that bastard to go back to Fushan County! In order to make the Ministry of the Army revoke the previous order, I took out a full 10 yuan in silver dollars, which is 10 yuan ah!"

The butler Zhou Chenggui smiled wryly and said: "My lord, it's not like you don't know about Fourth Young Master's temper. It's impossible for Zhou Xu and the others to make Fourth Young Master change his mind."

Baron Su Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Then send a telegram to Zhou Xu and ask him to lead his troops to tie Su Yi back!"

The butler Zhou Chenggui hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, the fourth young master has hundreds of veterans and hundreds of guns under his command, just in case..."

Baron Su Mingyuan patted his forehead, and said annoyedly: "That bastard, he has never let me worry about it since I was a child, but he is my Su Mingyuan's son after all, Chenggui, help me think of what to do."

The steward Zhou Chenggui sighed and said, "My lord, unless the Second Infantry Battalion is also allowed to stay, there may still be a chance of defending Xingang City."

Baron Su Mingyuan immediately shook his head and said: "According to the information of the Ministry of the Army, the infantry regiment sent by the Skystar Empire to Xingang City this time is a fully staffed infantry regiment with a total strength of 8000 soldiers. Xingang City is also hitting a stone with an egg, and our Su family has paid such a high price to let the Ministry of the Army revoke the previous order, and the Second Infantry Battalion must evacuate from Xingang City immediately!"

The armies of the Floating Cloud Empire and the Heavenly Star Empire basically had almost the same organization at the regiment level. Each standard infantry regiment consisted of four infantry battalions, a mortar squadron, an infantry artillery squadron, and an engineer squadron. Squadron, a cavalry squadron, a supply brigade, and a wing headquarters, with a total strength of about 8000 people.

Hearing the resoluteness in Baron Su Mingyuan's tone, housekeeper Zhou Chenggui secretly heaved a sigh of relief. You must know that one of his sons is in the Second Infantry Brigade of Fushan County. Su Yi was buried with him.

"My lord, then send a telegram to Zhou Xu to ask Zhou Xu to persuade the fourth young master again, and hope that the fourth young master can turn around and be right!"

"Oh—that's the only way to go."

On the afternoon of January [-]rd, the housekeeper Zhou Chenggui rushed into the study where Baron Su Mingyuan was staying with a telegram in panic, "My lord, it's broken! The fourth young master actually switched on the telegram clearly, and wants to live and die with Xingang City!"

Baron Su Mingyuan's expression at this time is very calm, "When the second infantry brigade retreats, leave a boat for that bastard. Since the power has been clearly coded, now that bastard can't leave Xingang City even if he wants to!"

In the palace of Liuyun City, the capital of the Liuyun Empire, Li Hong, the emperor of the Liuyun Empire, held a telegram and sighed to Cao Ziliang, the Prime Minister of the Liuyun Empire: "This boy named Su Yi is very stubborn. With only a squadron of troops, they dare to defend Xingang City to the death. It is a pity to know that an infantry regiment from the Sky Star Empire will soon arrive at Xingang City."

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, no matter what, Su Yi has such courage, we should vigorously promote Su Yi and establish a heroic image for the citizens of our empire!"

Emperor Li Hong nodded slightly, "Then do as the prime minister wants! In this war with the Skystar Empire, our Liuyun Empire has been suffering, and there has been no good news from the front line. It can boost the morale of the army and the people."

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Emperor Li Hong hesitated and asked, "Can you send a troop or a fleet to Xingang City to fetch that Su Yi?"

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the land route to Xingang City has been cut off by the army of the Skystar Empire. In addition, although the Skystar Empire is not a naval power, the naval strength of the Skystar Empire is higher than that of our Liuyun Empire. Now, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the Second Fleet of the Liuyun Empire Navy in the southern waters has all retreated to several military ports in the eastern region."

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang's intention was obvious. It was impossible for the navy of the Liuyun Empire to take risks for Su Yi.

Emperor Li Hong said with a wry smile: "Our Liuyun Empire's navy is too weak. The capital ships only have two pre-dreadnought battleships and six iron-clad battleships. The Sky Star Empire's navy seems to have six pre-dreadnought battleships and twelve iron-clad battleships. ?”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang nodded and said: "That's true, and there is news that the Skystar Empire has ordered two dreadnought battleships with a full load displacement of more than 330 tons from the world's fourth largest naval power, the Monia Empire. Equipped with eight [-]mm main guns, they will be able to join the ranks of the Skystar Empire Navy in June this year."

Emperor Li Hong said sadly: "The shipbuilding industry of our Liuyun Empire is too backward. We can only build gunboats and torpedo boats, and we can't even manufacture destroyers and protected cruisers. If we only rely on buying, our Liuyun Empire can play. If you can’t afford the navy, just a dreadnought battleship costs at least 4000 million silver dollars.”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, although the navy of our Liuyun Empire is somewhat weak, our Liuyun Empire has an army of more than 600 million, and other countries dare not underestimate us."

Emperor Li Hong immediately said: "Since our Liuyun Empire has such a huge army, let the military department quickly mobilize troops and drive the troops of the Tianxing Empire out of the Eastern Province!"

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang coughed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the final victor of this war must be our Liuyun Empire, but the army strength of the Skystar Empire is no worse than our Liuyun Empire, so we need to be patient."
