Just when Cheng Mu was determined to fight the final battle against Zhu Di, the army led by Li Shimin himself also reached the border of the country.
In the past few days, news from the Ming Empire had been flowing into his hands like paper flowers.
At this time, his brows had completely knitted together.
It’s so difficult!
"Your Majesty! I will beg you to plead guilty and meritorious service!"
Yan Changyun is here again.
He was defeated last time, and only a few remnants of the million-strong Chang'an army fled back to the Tang Empire.
but!
"In this battle, you either win or die."
This was Li Shimin's last ultimatum to Yan Changyun. If he hadn't felt that Yan Changyun had a high reputation among the Tang Dynasty Rangers and was easy to do things.
Otherwise, this Yan Changyun would have been dragged to the Meridian Gate and beheaded.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
At this time, Yan Changyun was full of confidence.
Behind him, there are not only 80 million Rangers of the Tang Dynasty, but also a large group of powerful people.
And Yuan Tiangang, the two sages of the Tang Dynasty, who stood there and made people feel extremely at ease!
In the previous battle, Li Chunfeng was injured and retired, and he has not fully recovered yet. So for the sake of safety, Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang to hold off the battle.
Yuan Tiangang may not take action, but the most important thing now is morale and military morale.
But just when Li Shimin ordered the attack, guards suddenly came to report.
"Your Majesty! It's not good!"
"People from the Apocalypse Empire said that if Your Majesty dares to take a step forward, they will cut off one of the Prince's fingers."
"If you take ten steps, I'll chop off one of the prince's arms!"
Although the Tang Empire is coming fiercely now, Prince Li Zhi is in the hands of the Apocalypse Empire.
As long as Li Shimin dares to move, Cheng Mu will dare to kill him!
"Crack!"
Facing the threat from the Apocalypse Empire, Li Shimin smashed the table to pieces with one punch.
This Apocalypse Empire is too deceptive.
"Hmph! Do you think that just Li Zhi will make me shrink back? Absolutely impossible!"
The Ming Dynasty is about to die. If Li Shimin really watched the Apocalypse Empire annex the Ming Dynasty, then his own Tang Dynasty would also follow in the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty Empire.
The Apocalypse Empire with only two provinces is so powerful. Who can resist the Apocalypse Empire with three provinces?
Considering the interests of the country and the life of his son, Li Shimin chose the future of the Tang Empire!
"kill!"
...
"kill!"
The army of the Tang Empire entered the country, and the army led by Cheng Mu also arrived at Nanyang Mansion.
Here, the Ming Empire accumulated tens of millions of troops.
There are Zhu Di's newly recruited troops, as well as rangers who are not afraid of death, mobs, etc.
Zhu Di knew that behind Nanyang Prefecture was Zhengzhou. Once Zhengzhou fell, Jinan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture behind it would be completely exposed to Cheng Mu's troops.
Once Jinan or Taiyuan is lost, Shuntian Mansion (the capital) will be an isolated city.
Even if Zhu Di doesn't want to perish at that time, he will have no choice but to retreat.
Driven into Liaodong? Driven into Nurgan Dusi?
How is that different from the savages?
The territory of the Ming Dynasty is indeed very vast, but only the Central Plains and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can be called prosperous places.
After Shuntian Mansion? It’s all a barbaric and wild land!
Is it possible that he, Zhu Di, is going to a wilderness to survive in the wilderness?
"Bulldoze them!"
Cheng Mu sat in the dragon tent and personally directed the battle.
Zhang Qi's National Defense Army was the main force in the siege.
After Cheng Mu gave the order, a steady stream of soldiers from the National Defense Army rushed forward.
They are a newly formed army, and they cannot compare with the old army in terms of military discipline. But their advantage is their overwhelming momentum.
Inspired by Cheng Mu, millions of soldiers of the National Defense Army rushed to the city wall in a matter of seconds.
No matter what stone, rolling wood, oil pan, gold juice...
As long as a soldier is well-trained, he will eventually have some ability to protect himself when facing these obstacles.
Even if someone is unlucky and dies under a rolling log or an arrow.
But most of the people still rushed outside the city gate.
Looking at the extremely heavy door, the little leader winked.
Immediately, someone ran forward carrying several black round objects.
This is a bomb designed and manufactured by Tina, the deputy mayor of the domestic blacksmith city. Although the middle is only filled with black powder, its power is comparable to the full blow of a powerful person in the country.
If it weren't for the difficulty in manufacturing, a qualified gun barrel would not have been produced.
Otherwise, Cheng Mu would have already used this kind of bomb in artillery.
Moreover, it is thousands of miles away from the Blacksmith City of the Apocalypse Empire to the current Nanyang Mansion of the Ming Empire.
It's not realistic to pull up a few cannons.
Therefore, currently the bomb can only be used alone.
"ignition."
Then, under the watch of the leader, several black bombs were ignited.
In an instant, everyone outside the city gate evacuated far away.
Compared with the dense crowds in other places, this place has become a forbidden place.
The next second, under everyone's attention.
Boom!
Under the thick gate of Nanyang City, a violent black smoke suddenly poured out.
When the smoke and dust billowed, everyone could still see the debris of the city gate flying.
The next second.
Boom!
There was another loud noise.
At this time, the tower above the city gate also collapsed suddenly. Many of the defenders above fell to their death.
"This power is comparable to the full blow of a strong man from the back of Zhenguo."
Seeing how powerful a few bombs were, Cheng Mu nodded with satisfaction.
It is true that this world restricts new gunpowder and technological weapons. But black powder is within the approval of heaven and earth.
These bombs not only destroyed the gate of Nanyang City, but also destroyed the shield of Nanyang City.
How can this kind of power be comparable to that of an average-level powerhouse in the Zhenguo Realm?
"As long as suitable artillery is built, gunpowder will also become a key force on future battlefields."
At this moment, Cheng Mu thought of a lot.
As long as qualified artillery can be produced that can withstand such power, he will blast whoever is arrogant from now on!
He, Cheng Mu, had also imagined that one day he would become an excellent gunner!
battlefield.
The city gate was blown down and the city's shield was blown up.
At this moment, the defenders in the city finally panicked.
They originally wanted to rely on the solid city wall of Nanyang Mansion to deal with Cheng Muduo for a few days. However, they did not expect that they could not hold on for a day.
"Haha! Brothers killed the enemy!"
"Come on! His Majesty is watching us from behind, let us fight against the momentum of the National Guard Army!"
"I can destroy these mere ants with just one sword!"
At this moment, millions of soldiers of the National Defense Army showed their weapons and showed murderous intent.
How can the city wall, which is only about ten meters high, stop them?
To be a first-rate or top-level expert is to leap forward.
If you are below the first level, then charge through the gap in the city gate.
The mere two to three million Ming Empire soldiers in the city are not their combined enemy!
At this time, when everyone is able to resist the pressure of the strongest, the military soul is not so important.
The greatest role of the Ming Empire's military spirit may be to resist the strongest men on Cheng Mu's side.
And now, have Guan Hai and others taken action?
Not really.
This is Mr. Li's battle, and Mr. Li is demonstrating the strength of the national defense army to Cong Cheng Mu.
What if we lose? Can't we capture this mere Nanyang City?
