The Han army retreated from the coastal line, and the thousands of most powerful naval guns of the Daqian army were useless! (I have to despise our transport team captain here. I wonder if he has the brains to use his most elite The troops were sent to the range of the naval guns for bombing, and the soldiers were gone after one cannon and one battalion. It was really no brainer! It cost hundreds of millions to build a defense line, but it became a joke because there were no soldiers to garrison it.)
Li Gang and the others stayed in New Seoul for half a month before moving all 100,000 coalition troops and logistics supplies to Xinghan City!
At the same time, Li Gang sent out exploration horses and found out that the main force of the Han army was camped 30 miles away from them.
This news made Li Gang very happy. What he was most worried about was that he could not find the main force of the Han army, but he was not worried about not being able to defeat the Han army!
In early July of the 19th year of Daqian (AD 220).
Li Gang led a large coalition of 100,000 troops to attack the Han army camp! The two sides met 15 miles outside Xinghan City!
Wei Yan wanted to test the strength of the Daqian coalition, so he sent 5,000 elite troops to test the strength of the Daqian army!
Li Gang also dispatched his most elite musketry battalion to fight! The main force among the southern coalition forces were soldiers from the princes of the South China Sea, but Li Gang also led 10,000 musketeers as the core force. This is why he thought he could defeat the Han The source of the army!
I saw only 5,000 soldiers from the musket battalion, watching the Han soldiers approaching slowly, but when the distance reached 150 steps, the musket battalion soldiers raised their spears horizontally and fired at the Han army!
"Bang, bang, bang!" The musket battalion soldiers fired three rounds. More than half of the 5,000 Han army suffered casualties and the entire army collapsed!
Liu Feng and Wei Yan were shocked when they saw this scene. This was already their most elite army, but it collapsed after not holding on to a stick of incense.
Liu Feng was a little panicked and said: "Have the Dagan people made the artillery so that they can be held in their hands? How can we defeat this kind of army?"
For the first time, Liu Feng felt that the 100,000 troops in his hands were not safe, and even the 300,000 troops in southern Tianzhu might not be able to defeat the enemy!
Wei Yan thought for a while and said: "The only way to defeat the enemy now is to get close to the enemy quickly, so that the enemy's weapons cannot take advantage of long-range attacks. This weapon is much shorter than a spear, and it is not as flexible as a sword. As long as our army gets closer The enemy still has a chance to defeat the enemy! Please also ask the general to sit in the center and command the army, and then the general will destroy the enemy's center!"
After speaking, Wei Yan led 10,000 elites to charge towards Daqian's Chinese army from the left wing of the battlefield. He wanted to use this method to avoid the musket attack.
Although Wei Yan had good ideas, he didn't know that Xu Wei had been training this army for three years. Xu Wei was better at fighting with hot weapons than cold weapons. Wei Yan wanted to bypass the musket attack, but he didn't expect that in the Under the command of Li Gang, the soldiers of the musket battalion focused on attacking Wei Yan's vanguard force. The power of Daqian's muskets has reached the peak of breech-loading guns, with conical bullets, fixed paper case gunpowder, flintlock ignition, and three-stage shooting. , all the experience gained from these muskets over hundreds of years was put to use by Xu Wei.
It can be said that Wei Yan faced the musketeers at the peak of their debut. Facing such an unprecedentedly powerful army, all of Wei Yan's ideas were drowned by musket bullets. All his 10,000 elite troops were defeated, and even Wei Yan's armor was defeated. He couldn't withstand the 1 or 2 rounds of projectile fire, and he himself became the first military commander to be shot by the musket since its debut!
The Han army, which the coalition forces fought without losing a single soldier, was defeated one after another, which shocked the coalition forces. You must know that Liu Bei's army has been fighting for more than ten years. It can be said that they are all experienced veterans, but now the coalition forces Before taking action, Da Gan defeated the Han army with only 10,000 troops. This Da Gan army was too powerful!
Princes like Xia Houyuan and Zhang Liao didn't know that there were weapons like muskets. Now that they saw the power of muskets on the battlefield, they now have a better understanding of Da Gan's strength. When Wang *** wanted to kill chickens to scare monkeys, he succeeded. At least in the Before they had muskets, these princely states would not dare to have any objections to Da Da.
But when the princes like Li Aimin, who were at the core of Daqian, saw the power of muskets, they were thinking about whether they could form a firearms battalion!
The next battle will be simple. Li Gang will use 10,000 musketeers as the core
In the heart, they violently attacked the central army of the Han army. In half a day, the Han army was completely defeated. 20,000 Han troops were killed, 30,000 Han troops were captured, and 50,000 Han troops were defeated. However, Daqian's army suffered only a hundred casualties!
The princes from all walks of life in the coalition saw for the first time the powerful power of the Daqian army's dimensionality reduction strike, and their fear of Daqian reached its peak.
At the same time, the success of this battle also made Li Aimin and others excited. They defeated Tianzhu's 100,000 army in one battle. Even though there were still 200,000 troops in the south of Tianzhu, they were frightened by the power of the musket battalion. Not only did they not dare to approach them, but two The army begins to turn away from them.
It can be said that there is no power that can limit them in Tianzhu now. They can do anything in Tianzhu! And this is exactly what they want!
Compared with Tianzhu, Nanhai and Nanzhong can only be regarded as barbaric lands. When they opened up wasteland in Nanhai and Nanzhong, they had a deep understanding that the ruling population is the most precious wealth!
Isn’t Nanhai rich?
Of course, they are wealthy. There are precious spices all over the mountains, valuable sandalwood, wild trees, and palm oil. They have their own profitable planting industries. They can exchange money as long as they develop them, but they don't have enough manpower to develop these projects. !
Not to mention savages, savages who can’t even farm cannot be considered a labor force at all. The main force in the development of the South China Sea in recent years is actually the labor force that went to the South China Sea and sold from Tianzhu!
After the continuous discovery of mountains of gold and silver in the New World, the main destination of Daqian's young people became the New World, which made the South China Sea extremely short of labor.
This time they formed a coalition, and everyone planned to grab a share in Tianzhu!
So when people like Li Aimin discovered that the Han army did not dare to attack them, they quickly dispersed to the countryside of Tianzhu. When they encountered a village, the entire village was kidnapped, pressed to the Xinghan City dock, boarded a transport ship, and transported back to the South China Sea. , you must know that a Tianzhu person in Nanhai is now worth 30,000, and they have made tens of millions by plundering a village!
The whole of Tianzhu has now become a land of wealth for Li Aimin and the others. Even Xia Houyuan joined in such an action. Although he sympathized with Liu Bei, after the Izumo Kingdom began to industrialize, it also began to lack population. He captured the people in Tianzhu People, whether sold to the South China Sea or brought back to Izumo Country, are a huge wealth!
And Li Gang also turned a blind eye to the behavior of the coalition of princes, only restricting their killing, and not caring about other things.

In his view, even if they defeated Liu Bei, Tianzhu still posed a huge threat to Daqian civilization. To solve this threat, not only must they find ways to split Tianzhu, but they must also find ways to reduce Tianzhu's population. The current behavior of the coalition of princes has actually Conducive to Daqian's hegemony.
