When hundreds of artillery pieces roared together, it announced the beginning of the war.
Boom! Bang bang bang!
The huge gold-iron cannonball hit the crowd with everyone on Liu Xiu's side looking puzzled and shocked.
At this moment, Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army was stunned.
"Why? It's obviously still such a long distance!"
Looking at the white-robed soldiers wailing in pain on the ground, Chen Qingzhi had an incredible expression on his face.
His confidence became somewhat shaken with the casualties of thousands of white-robed soldiers.
This was the first time that he was beaten in vain without even touching the enemy!
"The artillery on this giant ship is so powerful!"
Liu Xiu also understood the seriousness of the matter.
The artillery on the enemy's giant ship was actually able to start attacking two to three thousand steps away from here.
The archers under his command only had a shooting range of two to three hundred steps.
If countermeasures cannot be taken, then millions of white-robed troops will be living targets!
"I'll destroy those cannons!"
Chen Qingzhi said that he is very angry now!
He had also seen weapons like artillery when fighting the Ming Empire. The effective range of ordinary artillery was only a little over a thousand steps.
If you want to have a range of two to three thousand steps, you must have a heavy cannon on the city wall.
But now, some artillery mounted on ships can actually have such a long attack range.
This completely refreshed his understanding of artillery.
When he saw the white-robed soldier being beaten in vain again, Chen Qingzhi was determined to make him pay the price!
"Third brother!"
Seeing Chen Qingzhi who was about to rush up, Liu Xiu hurriedly stopped him: "Since the enemy's artillery is so powerful, let's retreat first!"
We are currently fighting a war, and being able to advance and retreat freely is the real way to demonstrate your strategy.
"But......."
Chen Qingzhi was very impatient. The war had just begun and he had already suffered losses.
As for the enemy, not a single hair has fallen off so far.
Retreating now will harm the morale of the soldiers!
"Chen Qingzhi! Listen to the order!"
Liu Xiu didn't want to hear his excuse. On the battlefield, obeying orders is the first prerequisite.
What's wrong with avoiding the edge first?
At the beginning, in history, he was chased by Wang Mang and fell into desperate situations several times. However, later on, wasn't it Liu Xiu who had the last laugh?
So a temporary defeat doesn't mean anything.
Besides, it's just a matter of retreating a few kilometers now, and you can come back anytime and anywhere.
As long as you are not defeated, you don't need to worry too much about the morale of the soldiers, it won't collapse!
"The general will obey your orders!"
When Liu Xiu became harsh, Chen Qingzhi suddenly woke up and chose to obey.
On the surface, the three of them are sworn brothers of the opposite sex. But in terms of true status, Liu Xiu is higher than the other two.
"Buzz!"
A huge horn sounded.
On the coast, millions of white-robed troops began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Although they suffered battle losses, everything was as Liu Xiu expected. Their morale was not greatly reduced.
This is a powerful army after all.
Chen Qingzhi didn't want to leave, but he just didn't want to admit that he was at a disadvantage.
Being too confident can sometimes lead to pride. And when you are proud, you will not allow yourself to fail.
On the sea.
Looking at the orderly retreat of the White Robes, Zhang Shun did not give the order to rush forward.
Having unified the army in battle for so long, he also knows what kind of army can chase and what kind of army cannot chase.
This army in white cloaks looked much more elite than he imagined.
"General Zhang, should we land and fight or go around?"
Zheng Yisao has completely become Zhang Shun's deputy. She senses that there are three super strong auras among the enemy.
Presumably, they were Xiao He, Chen Qingzhi, and Shi Dakai who were detected by the Hidden Dragon Envoy at the beginning.
It's just that Chen Qingzhi and Shi Dakai were on the coast, while Xiao He was inside the island.
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Shun was actually not in a hurry at all.
Because he had received news from the Sky Bird earlier that the Flying Tiger Army led by Li Cunxiao was still in the Guangdong and Guangxi territory of the Ming Empire.
It will take several days to reach Fujian Province.
Then take a boat from Fujian? No, no, no, they don’t have a boat.
The Taiwan Strait, which is hundreds of kilometers long, can be crossed by the most powerful people in small boats. But millions of soldiers can only look at the ocean and sigh.
"By the way, is Mr. Qi here?"
At this time, Zhang Shun asked again.
Although he is eager to make meritorious deeds and to forge the Tianlong Army into the first super-god-level arm in the Apocalypse Empire.
But he won't rush forward mindlessly.
Liu Xiu has three powerful people in the ghost and god realm under his command, but he only has Zheng Yisao here now.
Even according to Zheng Yisao's strength, she can fight one against three. But for the sake of safety, it will be much more stable if there is a leader to hold the battle.
Chen Qingzhi, The First Realm of Shenmen.
Shi Dakai, the first realm of Shenmen.
Xiao He, in the middle realm of Shenmen.
Zheng Yisao, the pinnacle of Shenmen Middle Realm.
In the Zhenguo territory, a small realm gap is enough to determine the outcome of a battle. But in the Shenmen realm, a small realm gap is like a chasm.
Only those with extraordinary talents, like Zhao Yun, can fight across one or two small realms.
otherwise.
Although it would be difficult for Zheng Yisao to kill all three of them, there would be no problem in resisting the joint attack of the three.
Moreover, Zheng Yisao is now absolutely loyal to Cheng Mu, and she is not worried about the consequences of killing someone with good luck.
"Not yet."
Sister-in-law Zheng shook her head.
The news of relocating the reinforcements only came out this morning. How could Mr. Qi come so quickly?
"Then go around in a circle and kill their minions first."
Zhang Shun can afford to wait.
Xiaoliuqiu is not actually an island, but there are many small islands around it.
Their original resting place, Penghu Island, also belonged to Xiaoliuqiu.
There are also many soldiers under Liu Xiu's command stationed in the many islands around Xiaoliuqiu. It is an appetizer to practice with these minions first.
The white-robed troops on the shore have retreated, but their bombardment is still not satisfying enough.
"As you command!"
Sister-in-law Zheng nodded and accepted the order. At this moment, her beautiful face began to reveal a heroic and determined look.
For a moment, Zhang Shun was stunned.
He originally thought that Cheng Mu was the only one in his heart. But now it seems that Mrs. Zheng has set him straight again!
...
Guangxi, Liuzhou Prefecture.
Millions of flying tiger troops are marching.
The narrow roads made this million-strong army stretch into a long snake of tens of kilometers.
But even with such a long marching line, every Flying Tiger Army soldier maintained absolute silence.
Even the war horses rarely neighed.
The military discipline of the Flying Tiger Army is truly amazing!
"Mr. Qi, I'm afraid it will take another seven days to get here. Thank you for your hard work!"
Li Cunxiao was riding on his war horse and spoke to Mr. Qi with great gratitude.
In order for the Flying Tiger Army to successfully survive the battlefield, Cheng Mu sent Qi Lao to accompany the army to suppress the battle.
Although Li Cunxiao's strength has been improved to the late stage of Zhenguo, even a half-step ghost and god does not have the absolute power to control wind and rain on the battlefield.
Those who are powerful in the realm of ghosts and gods are indeed afraid of the emperor's luck.
But they dare to kill people who are not emperors!
"You're old, you might as well come out and take a look."
Mr. Qi sat in the carriage, feeling emotional.
He originally thought that he would never step outside the Kingdom of China in this life. However, he did not expect that he would eventually become the protector of the Apocalypse Kingdom.
And now, he was entrusted by Cheng Mu to help Li Cunxiao.
So sometimes people's plans can never keep up with unknown changes.
"By the way. Why don't you go to General Zhang Shun's place?"
At this time, Li Cunxiao asked: "General, it will take seven days before there is a war. Mr. Qi, you can go and help General Zhang first."
He received the message from the sky bird this morning.
He would say this only after determining his own journey.
"Where's Zhang Shun?"
Mr. Qi shook his head: "If I go there, I will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
It's not that he won't go, but that everyone knows that Cheng Mu has high expectations for Zhang Shun.
If Zhang Shun wants to achieve this extremely high expectation, he can only rely on his own efforts!
