Chapter 70: Shelling the army

Views:

After'Wu'an King' Zheng Xi easily won'Jiujiang', his self-confidence was completely overwhelmed. Not only him, but even the nearly 400,000 army he led has been arrogant to the extreme. All of them had only been victorious for nearly a month, and they had completely become arrogant soldiers in the battle without defeat, and all this was the result of the deliberate execution of the King Dingnan.

Zheng Xi did not repair the division that immediately won the victory after taking down'Jiujiang'. The whole army marched towards'Chai Sang' with high morale. As long as'Chai Sang' was defeated, there would be no obstacles in front of him, and he could kill all the way to'Chen. Country's capital. According to Zheng Xi's idea, he will use the thunder to break through'Nanchang' and welcome the arrival of the new year in the capital of'Chen Guo'.

Because of this, the'King Wu'an' only left less than 30,000 people to guard all of his ships, and 10,000 of them guarded the city of'Jiujiang'. In Zheng Xi's opinion, the'Chen State' has no power to deal with the'Qi State' army, so he is very arrogant that these 30,000 troops can absolutely guarantee his rear defense security.

"Report! Chief of Staff, the enemy is already thirty miles away from'Chaisang'." The scout reported to Xu Maogong.

Standing on the top of the city, Xu Maogong looked at the dust billowing in the distance, and couldn't help but said to Dongfang Hong beside him worriedly: "San Gongzi, this time the opponent has nearly 400,000 troops! Can these things work for us?"

Yu Chigong next to him was also a little uneasy and said: "Yes! In case of failure, brothers will be the first group of warriors to defend the city. And the enemy is often the strongest in the first wave of attacks, so we can lose a lot. !"

Dongfanghong looked at the weapons already placed on the city’s head, smiled confidently and said, “Don’t worry, you guys, Zheng Xi, the prince, will cool down on his strength under the city of Chaisang, just to frighten the guards. The city’s troops are used to frighten the military. Think about the dense formation of such a scale, and the target is still standing there. I really can’t think of any reason for them not to die.”

Xu Maogong and others looked at the more than one hundred weapon racks placed on the top of the city, and they seemed to have some confidence. After all, the weapon that Dongfanghong was about to use, but the most powerful ultimate firearm he had invented so far was the'Cluster Rocket'. This time, for the commission of Chen Guo, Dongfanghong ordered all firearm producers to make all the'cluster rockets', so more than 10,000 pieces were manufactured in more than two consecutive months. This time Dongfanghong brought them all. That's why you still bring so many big cars when you enter the city. Dongdonghong is determined that these good things will definitely make the army of Qi State unforgettable forever.

Dongfanghong was confidently leading his mercenary group to stand at the forefront of the city, but all the soldiers of the'Chen Guo' who were two or three meters away from the'Thunder God Mercenary Group' seemed to be watching a group of fools. Not to mention the weird long wooden boxes that these mercenaries set up on the city’s head early in the morning, just say that these guys arrogantly said: "Today's first wave of attacks are done by them, and the enemy will be wiped out by then. "This is stupid enough. The defending party attacked the offensive party on the front of the city. This is already an international joke, and even dare to say that the enemy will be wiped out. Why are these guys not stupid

Yang Zhenzhen was also full of dissatisfaction, looking at this group of mercenaries with anger in his heart. Obviously, there were only two thousand people, and she was so proud and confident to wipe out the enemy's 400,000 army. She was really eye-opening.

"Big brother, are these guys all crazy! The younger sister is really wondering how his father would allow them to be so foolish!" Yang Zhenzhen said to Li Jin beside him.

The general who was in charge of defending the city was also confused about this, and said helplessly: "Oh! Who knows what's going on? But no matter what the result is, our people are all ready. If these guys fail, we will immediately enter the fighting position. , It won't delay things."

Just when the soldiers of the'Chen Kingdom' were talking about the mercenary group, the'King Wu'an' led 400,000 soldiers and horses to the battle. 'Wu'an King' rode on the horse, and saw the banner of'Chai Sang' spread out, and from a distance, the soldiers on the top of the city were standing in formation. He smiled in his heart. He had long thought that'Chen Guo' would definitely defend here. According to the intelligence, the defenders of'Chai Sang' totaled hundreds of thousands, including the defeated soldiers of the First Battle of Jiujiang. So Zheng Yuan decided to show his strength to the opponent first, and when the opponent began to fear the morale vent after seeing his army, he could break through the city in one fell swoop.

So'Wu'an King', as Dongfanghong had expected, set up a formation more than three hundred meters away from the city of'Chaisang', and all the troops of the'Qi State' lined up.

Dongfanghong smiled and said to Xu Maogong and the others: "Look at it, it's magnificent! Tsk tsk, this coldness is so complete. If we don't treat them well, I'm so sorry for them!" The red flag in his hand is to prepare his men for battle.

When King Wu'an assembled all the teams and displayed them under the city of Chaisang like a military parade, the red flag in Dongfanghong's hand fell at the same time, and more than one hundred'cluster rocket' launchers were ignited at the same time. Thousands of rockets dragged the flames and flew towards the enemy more than 300 meters away. The scene was also quite spectacular.

All the'Chen Guo' soldiers on the front of the city were bewildered by this scene, even Yang Zhenzhen, who had always been dismissive of the mercenary group, looked a little straight, not to mention what this thing was, but it was absolutely spectacular.

The'King Wu'an' has already set up his troops and horses, and is selecting an officer who can speak well to go to the city to shout, so that the defenders of'Chen Guo' will surrender early! But then Zheng Xi's lieutenant cried out strangely: "Marshal! What is that?"

Zheng Xi quickly looked up and saw a piece of smoke coming from the sky towards his army, which made Zheng Xi very scared. Zheng Xi deployed troops outside the range of the long-range weapon, but what was in front of him could have such a long range, wouldn't he be shocked! The next thing should make Zheng Xi tremble.

More than 10,000 cluster rockets were fan-shaped, with full coverage and non-discriminatory strikes, and they fell into the army of the'Qi State' in an instant. Everyone hasn't figured out what's going on yet! A series of explosions sounded, and the sound of the explosion rang through the earth, and even the city of'Chaisang' was shaken. It can be seen how powerful the more than 10,000 cluster rockets are!

In the distance, the army of Qi State was directly covered by black smoke and dust, and in this smoke-covered place, countless people shouted and wailed, accompanied by countless pains. Now the soldiers of the'Chen Kingdom' are all stupid, their brains have all been shut down, and they stared at the army of the'Qi Kingdom' in the distance.

After the dust settled, the originally flat and broad ground had become riddled with holes, and the 400,000'Qi State' army, which had just been armed with bright armor, was now defeated. More than half of the troops fell to the ground, and the whole army had no formation at all. Everywhere were frightened soldiers standing there blankly, while horses were frightened and rammed around. Many soldiers who had not died under the rockets died under the trampling of horses. The scene was extremely chaotic.

Although'King Wu'an' Zheng Xi was lucky not to be killed, he was stunned by the powerful shock wave, so he could not command the troops to stop the chaos. The general under him saw that the situation in front of him was out of control, and said he was over. So no matter what happened to the soldiers, he immediately protected the General Marshal to retreat quickly, and those soldiers who were blown up like headless flies would naturally know what to do when they saw the generals running away! As a result, the army was defeated like a mountain, and anyone who could walk ran away.

Dongfanghong stood on the head of the city and watched all this, feeling very satisfied. It seemed that the cluster rocket was quite powerful. Seeing that the enemy had begun to disperse, he laughed loudly and said: "General Li! I think it's time for the general to pursue victory!"

Li Jin and everyone awakened after Dongfanghong's yelling, otherwise they would still be shocked by the incredible scene in front of them. Hearing Dongfanghong's words, Li Jin immediately came to his innocence. Now is a good time to kill the enemy. Whether this war can turn defeat into victory and wipe out the enemy depends on now! So he immediately called out loudly: "All soldiers go out of the city to kill the enemy, victory or defeat in one fell swoop!"

There is no suspense for all things. Li Jin led one hundred thousand defenders, chasing down the defeated'Qi' troops all the way, from the city of'Chaisang' to'Jiujiang'. The original Qi State's mighty 400,000 army was directly killed and injured by Dongfanghong under the city of'Chaisang'.

Originally, the remaining troops would not fail miserably, but Dongfanghong’s weapons frightened all these soldiers stupid; secondly, Zheng Xi, the coach, lost his commanding ability, and the other generals suffered even more deaths and injuries. Command the troops. So when the defeat of the "Qi State" came to "Jiujiang", there were already less than 80,000 people left. The 100,000 troops of the "Chen Guo" actually chased and killed the other 400,000 horses and only 80,000 remained. This was the biggest victory of the "Chen Guo" since the founding of the People's Republic of China!

When'Wu'an King' Zheng Xi led the troops to leave'Jiujiang', Yang Lin attacked Zheng Xi's 20,000 troops left behind to guard the warship with lightning speed, and sent all the warships away and broke Zheng Xi's. Back road. The remaining troops of the'Chen Guo' in various places also assembled in batches along the Yangtze River to'Jiujiang' according to the arrangement of the'Dingnan King'.

Just when Yang Lin joined the 10,000 troops who came to support and surrounded'Jiujiang', two news came. The first is that the'Thunder God Mercenary Corps' dealt the enemy the heaviest blow when the'King Wu'an' arrived under the city of'Chaisang', and the direct result was that the enemy was defeated and defeated, and it was almost defeated and retreated to'Jiujiang'. 'Again.

Yang Lin was shocked by this news. Yang Lin had expected that Li Jin and the others would only hold on to'Chaisang' for ten days, and Yang Lin would be able to assemble the troops. When the time comes, the front and back attack should unite the inside and outside to destroy the enemy. . But I never thought that the army of the'King Wu'an' could be so vulnerable. They were beaten to the ground when they arrived under the city of'Chaisang'. The troops on my side had not been assembled yet, and the'Jiujiang' had not been retaken by the enemy. The defeated soldiers came back first. This caught Yang Lin somewhat by surprise.

Another piece of news caused Yang Lin a headache. Dongfang Lunming had led the 50,000 elites left in the'Nanying' to quickly help. When Dongfang Lunming learned that Zheng Xi hadn't listened to advice and returned his soldiers to go south, he immediately assembled his troops to prepare for rescue. When Dongfang Lunming heard the battle report from the front saying that Zheng Xi only left less than 30,000 people to guard the rear, he knew something was going to happen, so he hurriedly raised troops to support him. In this way, Dongfang Lunming received the news that Yang Lin had attacked Zheng Xi's rear, and all the warships had been confiscated. It can be said that Zheng Xi's back road had been cut by Yang Lin.

However, the following news completely made Dongfang Lunming silly. Zheng Xi's army was defeated in'Chaisang', and directly lost more than 300,000 troops. Now Dongfang Lunming was killed. He thought that as long as his troops arrived in time to retake the warship, he would immediately explain the situation to Zheng Xi. It is estimated that Zheng Xi would still follow his own opinions and withdraw troops and act in accordance with the established strategy. And this premise is that Zheng Xi insists to Dongfang Lunming's troops to regain control of the rear. In Dongfang Lunming, the 400,000 army can fight for more than ten days no matter what! Unexpectedly, he failed completely without holding it for a day, so Dongfang Lunming rushed to'Jiujiang' at full speed, trying to save some soldiers!

Yang Lin had long considered that a famous general like Dongfang Lunming would definitely come to rescue when Zheng Xi went south. Therefore, the fifty thousand elite soldiers in his hand also left thirty thousand on the Yangtze River in advance. Although Yang Lin was worried that the thirty thousand troops might not be able to block the opponent, as long as he could block Dongfang Lunming's navy for two days, everything would be fine. solved. Now that this happened to Zheng Xi, Yang Lin suddenly relaxed!

'Dingnan King' immediately decided to abandon the siege of'Jiujiang' city. Let Zheng Xi's remnants all enter the city, because there are no retreating ships, these defeated soldiers just don't want to enter the city. And Yang Lin will lead the navy division in his hand to immediately support the troops blocking Dongfang Lunming, and the siege of'Jiujiang' will be handed over to Li Jin, who is closely following the enemy. So the tactics of'encircle the spot and fight for aid' were immediately deployed. Li Jin's 100,000 army quickly advanced until the remaining 70,000 troops of the'Qi State' were driven into the city of'Jiujiang', and then they joined the supporters who had come to Jiujiang The troops surrounded the'Jiujiang' round and round.

'Dingnan King' Yang Lin led the navy and had already opened a battle with Dongfang Lunming on the Yangtze River. And this time, Dongfang Lunming, who wanted to make a quick battle, was a little cautious, because he suddenly discovered that the troops in front of him turned out to be the elite navy of Chen Guo, who had been fighting against Chen Guo for decades. Dongfang Lunming, this is definitely not a mistake. The 50,000 elites in Yang Lin's hands were indeed beyond Dongfang Lunming's expectation, because he always believed that the elites of the'Chen State' naval forces in the First World War in Jiujiang had been destroyed.

This is probably Dongfang Lunming’s only mistake in this battle, but it was this mistake that completely caused the entire army of the 400,000 army of the Qi State to be destroyed. The younger brother of the Qi State Emperor Zheng Xi, the King of Wu’an, did it. Chen The captives of the country, even Dongfang Lunming himself, the 50,000 elite, almost made a funeral, and all this will be Dongfang Hong, a guy who turned his hands for the cloud and covered his hands for the rain.
