Li Rusong led his troops to retreat for ten miles, and was suddenly bombarded by 500 artillery pieces ambushed in the mountains and forests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe defenseless imperial army was bombed and suffered heavy losses, Li Rusong was furious in his heart, he didn't expect that the Xingzhu faction would still have an ambush.

Looking up at the direction from which the shell came from, it was at least more than five miles, no wonder the scouts didn't notice it. This mountain is so dense that it is impossible for scouts to go inside and search extensively, nor can they imagine that the Star Constellation Sect will ambush so many artillerymen.

"General, my subordinates led people to destroy them." Zeng Rong said angrily that his cavalry had suffered heavy losses before, and some were killed at this time.

"That's it, tell the soldiers to withdraw quickly!" Li Rusong said.

If he was willing, he could destroy an artillery battalion alone, but after he saw Ji Yang's martial arts, he was very jealous. Ji Yang was elusive, if he really went to deal with this artillery battalion, he would bury the remaining cavalry in it, and even if he went himself, he would have to finish the game.

"General!" Zeng Rong couldn't swallow this breath.

"Needless to say, quickly lead people to retreat." Li Rusong said decisively.

Zhu Ding got the battle report, Li Rusong was defeated by the World Meeting, and he took a deep breath of anger.

When the civil and military officials saw Zhu Ding's expression, they knew that the emperor must be very angry, and they lowered their heads one after another. Zhu Ding was even more angry when he saw this, but he couldn't blame them, because when Li Rusong sent troops, he didn't expect this result.

The imperial court's army of 50,000 was defeated by a martial arts sect with 30,000 horses.

What enemy artillery is powerful, Ji Yang's martial arts are strong, in his opinion, they are all excuses. No matter how powerful the enemy's artillery is, can it compare to the Hongyi cannon of the Ming Dynasty? Ji Yang's martial arts are powerful, can he fight through the battle array?

However, in Li Rusong's war report, these have become a reality, and Zhu Ding doubts the authenticity of the war report. Since ancient times, many generals have exaggerated the strength of their enemies after they have been defeated due to incompetence.

"Who can take this ailment out of me?" Zhu Ding asked.

"Your Majesty, General Li hasn't returned to the court yet, so it's better to wait for him to come back and discuss it." The military department is still the book.

Zhu Ding glanced at the ministers, and when he saw that no one replied, he took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

A few days later, Li Rusong quickly returned to the court and personally recounted the war process in the court. When narrating, Li Rusong was also very ashamed, and whenever he said something wrong with the use of soldiers, he confessed to Zhu Ding.

Zhu Ding saw that his attitude was sincere and his narration was true, so he also believed it a little and forgave Li Rusong.

"Your Majesty, that Ji Yang's martial arts are indeed extraordinary, and he only used one hand to block my formation-breaking sword technique. The last general had the ability to defeat the enemy army, but he did not have the ability to defeat Ji Yang, so he could only retreat and ask the emperor to atone for his sins. Li Rusong bent down deeply.

"This person's martial arts are really so powerful, so in your opinion, who is his opponent?" Zhu Ding asked.

"When the dynasty is a general, I am afraid that no one is his opponent." Li Rusong said.

The civil and military officials were in an uproar, and there were as many as six congenital-level generals in the dynasty, and the southern and northern wars were invincible. Li Rusong actually said that no one was Ji Yang's opponent, so wouldn't Ji Yang want to ascend to the sky in one step.

"Alarmist." Some civil officials don't understand martial arts and think that Li Rusong is shirking responsibility.

Li Rusong also knew that everyone didn't believe it, and he didn't dare to believe it if he hadn't personally experienced the majesty of Ji Yang.

"No matter how high a person's martial arts are, he can't defeat thousands of troops, how many people do you need to destroy the Star Sect and the World Society?" Zhu Ding didn't bother with Ji Yang, he just wanted to see the result.

"I'm afraid it will cost 300,000 people." Li Rusong was a little embarrassed.

"I will give you a million horses, and you will make a military order to completely exterminate the Star Sect and the Tianxia Society." Zhu Ding stood up suddenly and looked at Li Rusong with solemn eyes.

"Your Majesty, no!" Without waiting for Li Rusong to reply, the secretary of the military department hurriedly came out to dissuade him.

"Why not, send 300,000 horses from Xi'an and Wuchang, and 400,000 horses from Changsha. An army of millions marches, no matter how strong his martial arts are and how powerful his artillery is, he will be wiped out. Zhu Ding said domineeringly.

The head of the military department was sweating, and he knew that the emperor was just quick to speak for a while, and he should not really want to dispatch a million troops. If Zhu Ding is not stopped, it will come true if he doesn't know how fast his tongue will come true at this time.

"Your Majesty, last year, the generation of Shanxi and Henan suffered from drought and plague, the cultivated land was wasted, and the people were struggling to make a living. After less than half a year, if such a large-scale war is launched, not to mention whether the Star Sect can be destroyed, I am afraid that the burden on the people will increase, and there will be chaos in Shenzhou. "The military department is still the book.

"I beg the emperor to think twice." The rest of the officials also dissuaded one after another.

The Ming Dynasty had the ability to deploy a million troops, but it came with huge side effects. The consumption of a million troops is no less than a large-scale drought, and even if the Northern Yuan and Timur do not come, even civil strife is enough to tear the Central Plains apart.

It is a matter of the safety of the Ming Dynasty, where can the hundred officials take care of the Xingzhu faction, first stop Zhu Ding from committing trouble.

"Is it easy to send 300,000 troops?" Zhu Ding's eyes were like torches.

"The last will be incompetent." Li Rusong hurriedly knelt down.

"Hmph, just one Star Sect, all of them add up to less than 300,000. What's more, they also have garrisons in the Nanyang countries, and they can't concentrate all their strength, and you even said that it will take 300,000 to wipe them out. Zhu Ding said.

"Your Majesty, the fleet of the Star Constellation Sect has more than 6,000 cannons, and the firing distance is as long as eighteen miles, and the power is huge. Ji Yang threatened that if we sent troops again, he would lead the fleet to land from Tianjin. Li Rusong said.

"It's a big rebellion, it's a big rebellion!" The ministers exclaimed.

If the enemy army landed from Tianjin, after breaking Tianjin, it would be the imperial city of Beijing.

The meaning of this could not be more obvious, they dared to threaten them with the emperor, and the ministers were shocked and frightened. What was shocked was Ji Yang's tactics, and what he was afraid of was the strength of the Star Fleet, they all knew the power of artillery, and six thousand artillery pieces must not blow up the city of Beijing.

Zhu Ding's snort intensified, and he endured and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, how do you say to deal with Ji Yang." ”

It is impossible to dispatch a large army, but if you don't send hundreds of thousands of troops, you really can't do anything with the Nakshatra faction. The generals are not Ji Yang's opponents, the soldiers can't beat the artillery, and the number and power of the artillery in the imperial court are not as good as the Xingzhu faction.

Li Rusong stopped talking, if he wanted to deal with Ji Yang, he would have to pay a huge price, but Zhu Ding was unwilling to pay such a big price for a martial arts sect, so it was useless for him to say anything.

The ministers exchanged heads and talked about each other.

"Your Majesty, this Nakshatra faction's naval army is powerful, and it is good at casting cannons, unless his naval army is defeated, it will be bulldozed in Sichuan, and Ji Yang will not be destroyed." The military department is still the book.

"Don't you know to me, the question is who can defeat the Nakshatra Sect Naval Army." Zhu Ding's face was pale.

"As far as Wei Chen knows, the warships of the Star Constellation Sect are the same size as the treasure ships led by Gonggong Zheng in the past, and there are hundreds of ships. Since I made the forbidden sea, although I have retained a few naval armies, they are far less large than Gonggong Zheng's fleet. "The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar again, and they realized more clearly the power of the Star Fleet. Zheng He's fleet is a legend of the Ming Dynasty, a huge treasure ship more than 100 meters long, like today's star fleet, on the way to the Western Ocean to the countries of the vassal.

However, after the ban on the sea, the combat effectiveness of the naval army of the Ming Dynasty dropped sharply, not to mention the rampant South Seas, it was difficult to deal with the pirates along the coast. However, after the appearance of the Star Fleet, the pirates of the South Seas were almost wiped out, so the coastal security was much better.
