Chapter 374 Liu Guanglie, a man who knows the times
It turned out that this guy had not only fought with Li Jiayu and other warlords before, but was later defeated by the Anmin Army, so he suffered huge losses in weapons and ammunition, which led to his shabby appearance.
After listening to his story, Jiang Li immediately agreed to replenish his weapons, saying that the guns would be captured from the battlefields.
It just so happened that he had previously occupied the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Hubei and seized more than one million guns of various types. Later, he fought a fierce battle with the warlords of Sichuan, Jiangxi and Fujian and seized some more.
However, since there are many types of firearms and their calibers are different, in order to reduce the pressure on logistics, Jiang Li only selected some that are compatible with his own army's ammunition, and the rest are stored in the warehouse!
But now that Liu Guanglie has this need, we might as well let him pick some and put together the equipment for three or four divisions.
He didn't dare to say anything else, but with the stock in his warehouse, he could easily gather eighty or ninety thousand guns with the same caliber of ammunition.
As for the performance of these guns, although they are not bad, they should be enough if you pick them up. In addition, since there are many guns in the warehouse, there are also some small-caliber artillery.
I think this wave of feeding can directly increase his firepower delivery capability by three or four times.
When Liu Guanglie heard that Jiang Li was willing to give him so many weapons and equipment, he immediately thanked him profusely. Just as Jiang Li was arranging for someone to take him, the military advisor, to collect the guns.
Liu Guanglie suddenly asked Jiang Li, "Commander Jiang, I wonder where your Xuanyuan Sword is. Can you let me take a look at it again?"
Jiang Li did not doubt him and directly took out the Xuanyuan Sword from the storage ring.
Seeing this scene, Liu Guanglie opened his mouth wide in astonishment. The first time, he couldn't see clearly where the Xuan-yuan Sword was taken out from.
But now, he was just a few feet in front of Jiang Li, and was watching Jiang Li's every move, so he naturally saw clearly that the Xuanyuan Sword simply appeared out of thin air. How could he not be shocked?
But before he could say anything, he heard the guard outside the door calling out, "Military Advisor Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Liu Guanglie immediately put away his surprise and went out with Jiang Li to check the situation.
As soon as they went out, they saw Wang Yuanzheng lying on the ground with his head full of sweat, looking exhausted after fighting with eighteen beauties for three days and three nights.
There was blood flowing from his mouth and one of his front teeth was knocked out. No matter how the guards shouted at him, he did not respond and just lay on the ground with his body tense.
As Jiang Li approached, his body became more and more tense, and his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Liu Guanglie was at a loss, Jiang Li reacted immediately and quickly put the Xuanyuan Sword back into the storage ring. Wang Yuanxiu on the ground seemed to have suddenly unloaded a huge burden and kept breathing heavily.
Seeing that Liu Guanglie still didn't understand, Jiang Li patiently explained it to him. After a while, Liu Guanglie finally understood.
Then he scratched his head and explained to Jiang Li awkwardly.
"To be honest, I heard you say before that the Xuanyuan Sword can suppress practitioners. I know that Lao Wang has practiced Taoism for a few years, so I wanted to find him to test it out."
"I thought it would just make him feel uncomfortable, but I didn't expect it to have such a miraculous effect. It really makes me ashamed!"
When Wang Yuanxiu heard about the Xuan-Yuan Sword, he was shocked at first. Then he heard that he had suffered an unexpected disaster and lost his front teeth for nothing, all because of his boss's momentary curiosity. He was immediately furious.
But before he could say anything, Liu Guanglie suddenly knelt down and bowed to Jiang Lina.
"I am Liu Guanglie. I was wrong to test Commander Jiang before, but I wanted to surrender to the Commander, so I gave it a try. I hope the Commander will not bear grudges and forgive me this time!"
Jiang Li was originally upset when he heard him say that he was testing the authenticity of the Xuan-Yuan Sword, but when he saw this guy suddenly bowing down, he felt secretly happy.
So he immediately reached out his hand to help him up, "Marshal Liu, please stand up quickly, what are you talking about? You and I can fight the enemy together, there is no need for such a big ceremony!"
"Commander Jiang, you don't know that after Liu fought with the Anmin Army, he saw clearly his own abilities and knew that I was completely incapable of fighting for the world. I heard that you were a descendant of the Zhou emperor, so I had long intended to join the commander."
"Today, seeing you take out the Xuanyuan Sword has further confirmed my thoughts. I know that you are the master of destiny. I, Liu Guanglie, am willing to be your vanguard and help you sweep the world and earn the merit of following the dragon. I hope the commander will not give up and accept me!"
Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending, Jiang Li immediately tried to comfort him, "Marshal Liu, if you can think like this, the people will not have to suffer a war, it is really a great merit. In the future, you and I will join hands and create a great cause together!"
After hearing what Jiang Li said, Liu Guanglie immediately asked Wang Yuanxiu to lead the tens of thousands of new recruits he had just recruited to receive equipment, and then set out with the main army.
However, he was stopped by Jiang Li, saying, "Marshal Liu, there is no need to do this. Your tens of thousands of people are all new recruits. Even if they have guns, they have little combat effectiveness."
It would be better to stay in the rear and train for a few months so that you will be able to fight on the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, Liu Guanglie did not insist and directly asked Wang Yuanxiu to serve under Jiang Li. After getting the guns, he started training under the guidance of the instructors of the Anmin Army.
When other warlords learned about this, they were all speechless about Liu Guanglie. As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox.
But Liu Guanglie directly surrendered to Jiang Li and handed over all his property, territory and army to the other party. They could not agree with it in any way.
However, due to Jiang Li's powerful forces, he did not say anything. Instead, he followed the plan, took his troops and joined forces with Jiang Li's troops, and divided into three groups to march towards Shanghai one after another.
A group led by Li Jiayu set out from Hubei, passed through Anhui and Jiangsu, and crossed the Yangtze River to support Shanghai, because Anhui had not yet fallen.
So after explaining the whole situation to Li Renzong, the warlord who monopolized Anhui, he was able to successfully pass through and enter Jiangsu.
In addition, Li Renzong was the first to receive the letter for help because he was closer to Shanghai. However, since he did not receive any help from others, he did not dare to send troops.
There were only intermittent minor conflicts with the Japanese pirates and their traitors in the occupied Jiangsu area at the border between the two provinces.
Now he learned that the southwest region had assembled an army of more than one million to go to Shanghai for support, so he immediately made up his mind to join in and help.
He then sent out 200,000 troops, together with Li Jiayu's 400,000 troops, to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese pirates and the Traitors in Jiangsu area.
Just when Li Jiayu and Li Renzong joined forces to attack the Japanese pirates in Jiangsu area, the second batch of 500,000 troops led by Jiang Li.
