In this battle, Chai Tiannuo no longer acted as before. He stayed in the Chinese military tent, watching the sand table and deducing the direction of the war with He Zudao and other generals.
In the past two days, I had taken the lead in the charge to gain great confidence from the guards and guards. The imperial court, which had suffered consecutive defeats, also needed a hearty victory to stabilize the morale of the army and the people.
Now that the affairs of the provincial government have been settled, and millions of records are there, the most important thing to do is to use a lot of battles to temper the left and right prison guards, making them a truly invincible and powerful army!
"Boom!"
There were still three cannon shots as the command, followed by hundreds of artillery fires one after another. Every three solid rounds were followed by a bursting round, causing the three-foot-high wall of Linjiang City to shake.
Large pieces of stone continued to fall off, exposing the rammed earth inside, and continued to collapse due to bombardment. The city wall, which was more than ten feet long, burst and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Cangtian Dao priest in the city shouted loudly, calling on the mob at the top of the city to fight back.
However, there are only ten old-fashioned artillery pieces at the top of the city. Their range is small and their power is small. They cannot reach the supply camp a few miles away. Even the twenty-odd crossbows are only one or two hundred meters short.
A quarter of an hour later, the city wall collapsed. He Zudao beat his hands excitedly. He turned around and was about to lead the charge himself when he was stopped by Chai Tiannuo:
"Brother Ashida, don't worry, we'll talk about it later."
Wait, wait a little longer and 80% of the city wall will be blocked!
He Zudao looked in the distance, and saw countless mobs wearing armor carrying sandbags and large rocks, rushing towards the gap desperately, even if they were smashed to pieces, they still had to fill the gap!
"What war is about, it is about people!"
Chaitino looked at the corpses that were blown up by the artillery fire and laughed softly:
"Look, there are at least thousands of people gathered in a short area of more than ten feet. Even if the men are ferocious, they will definitely be killed or injured if they collide with them."
"The supply camp is well-prepared with ammunition. Use artillery fire to reduce the enemy's physical strength. This business is a sure profit!"
Seeing that several Cangtian Dao priests had just opened their defenses and were blown to pieces by continuous artillery fire, including the people and the barriers, Chai Tiannuo chuckled and said:
"The truth is only within the range of cannons. If there were no high-level warriors and Qigong masters, cannons would definitely rule the roost in this world!"
He Zudao, Zhou Buyi and several other generals looked intently into the distance. Cangtian Dao priests and the mob came one after another to collapse and block the gap. In a short period of time, thousands of people died in that small gap.
The flesh and blood mixed with earth and rocks dyed the place a light pink, which looked really frightening.
He Zudao couldn't help but shudder. It was just a mixture of bamboo charcoal, saltpeter, earth, sulfur and steel. It was not worth a few dollars, but it could smash martial arts masters who had been trained for decades to pieces. This investment
The output ratio is really amazing!
"...What's the point of the decades of hard work that we and other warriors have put in?"
Zhou Buyi said with some frustration that even if he was already a master, he might not be able to do anything in the face of such terrifying artillery fire.
"Must be more than one line."
Chaitino gestured with his hands and said with a serious expression:
"Firearms will become more and more powerful. If you cross this line, you can greatly reduce the threat from the firearm and yourself. If you go below this line, it will be dangerous!"
Having said that, Chai Tiannuo gave another order to fire fifty artillery pieces and target Xiao Qing's war equipment at the top of the city. After Xiao Qing's completion, he raised the muzzle and fired indiscriminately into the city!
After another half an hour, the city wall in front collapsed hundreds of meters and was beyond repair. Tens of thousands of mutilated corpses were scattered across the ground, and there were not many buildings left near the city wall.
The originally tough and brave mob and the Cangtian Dao priest gave up their resistance and fled into the distance in panic.
The entire army was silent. They never thought that the artillery that had been used to assist battles could be so powerful when used in groups!
"Get close to 100 feet, continue shooting, and disperse the large group of mobs in the city."
Chaitino said calmly, and everyone looked at him in admiration. He was truly a military sage, and his use of war equipment was beyond imagination.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the chief of the baggage camp came forward to report:
"General, thirty-three artillery barrels are deformed and damaged.
, if we continue to fight, the damage rate may increase significantly."
"How much ammo are left?"
"Forty percent of the shells are left, and less than 30% of the gunpowder is consumed."
Chaitino nodded with satisfaction. The most he carried on this expedition was artillery, and he did not bring a single crossbow.
Today's battle, the effect is beyond imagination!
"The first to fifth mansions from the left, together with the left Weiwei mansions, enter the city from the front and clear it out. The sixth to left 16th mansions from the left go around to the south gate of Linjiang to encircle them."
"The guards at the right prison gate are divided into two groups. They enter the city from the east and west gates. Those who kneel down will not be killed. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Here!"
The army entered the city in great force, with more than half a million enemies. However, they had been knocked out of their spirits by the previous attack. The Cangtian Dao priests had already fled long ago when they saw that they could not do anything about it.
The mob that had lost its command fell into chaos and was quickly defeated under the attack of the soldiers. When they fled to the south gate, they were attacked head-on by more than 30,000 soldiers. They suffered heavy casualties. They finally fell to the ground crying and surrendered, and their faith was shattered!
For the next fifteen days, a hundred thousand troops fought continuously and were invincible!
The daily battle reports were of great victory, with countless bandits killed and countless prisoners taken. In the end, even Emperor Tianqi was exhausted.
I was no longer excited when I saw the battle report. I just added some numbers on the board, then smiled and said to the officials:
"Incredible, our Chai Wudi has won twenty-three games in a row, annihilated nearly four million enemy prisoners, and countless mobs have escaped from the Cangtian Dao camp. This record is probably unrivaled in the world, right?"
"Your Majesty, after such a continuous battle, I wonder how many casualties Mr. Chai's left and right guards suffered?"
An official asked with a solemn expression, "The result of four million is astonishing, but the casualties must be heavy. In this world, there is never a business where you can only make a profit without losing any money!"
"One thousand one hundred and sixty-three were killed, and two hundred and seventy-seven were disabled. As for the injured, there were none."
Speaking of this, Emperor Tianqi was also filled with emotion. This battle loss ratio is simply like nothing else. Chai Tiannuo has really created an unprecedented and powerful army for Dahua!
"How could it not be?"
The official was stunned, and Li Chenglan interrupted:
"There's nothing I can do about it, that guy has a fruit in the future, and he won't be hurt at all after one sip!"
Emperor Tianqi smiled and nodded:
"But this guy complained in the battle report that his inventory was gone before he saw it, and he wanted to let Gu and his money supplement it."
"Then will you subsidize it with him?"
Li Chenglan raised his eyebrows, and Emperor Tianqi nodded vigorously:
"Subsidy, big subsidy, but it's not money."
"What is that?"
"Gu's two girls, if he wants them, he doesn't have to get married. Gu lets Ping'er step in and join his Chai family as a big wife."
"...Your Majesty, given Chai's character, I'm afraid you won't agree to it, right?"
Li Chenglan curled his lips, and Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes as he smiled:
"Then I can't blame Gu. He doesn't want it, and Gu doesn't want it."
"...Female cheating old fox!"
Li Chenglan whispered softly.
"What did you say?"
The eyes of Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Qi were wide open. After all, they were still in the realm of Lu Xian. No matter how quiet their voices were, they could still tell the difference.
"I say that Your Majesty is a wise and wise man whose literary skills and military skills are hard to find in the world. He is truly a Holy Master!"
