Chapter 346: Joy and Sorrow
The battle between the west and north of the Ming Empire was in full swing, and the war situation in the south was not bad.
At the very least, at today's annual meeting, more than half of the generals of various legions will participate.
Without it, the soldiers of the various legions of the southern and northern wars are now busy grabbing territory, and they can't stop at all!
The million-strong army led by Li Dingguo began to move south nearly a month ago.
And Li Dingguo is not an ordinary genius at all, he is a demon, and the first million-level war under his full command must of course not take the usual path.
This kid adopts the strategy of multi-point flowering and four-way breakthrough.
The reason why he dared to do this was that he was really the target of this battle, and he was too weak.
In Li Dingguo's plan, he personally led the three legions of the Guards Group Army: the Seven Killing Legion, the Greedy Wolf Legion, and the Gluttonous Legion, to advance from Shandong and Fengyang Mansion to Huai'an Mansion and Luzhou Mansion in two directions.
Lu Jiude led the three corps of the Yongwei Army to advance from Henan to Hubei.
Qin Liangyu led the three legions of the Sichuan army to advance towards the Yunnan-Guizhou region and launch an attack on the Western Liang Kingdom.
Hong'er led the Guards to break the army and advance eastward, and with Lu Jiude's brave guards, they attacked Zuo Liangyu's army entrenched in Xiangyang City.
The fleets of the three major royal navies, each with a division and corresponding warships and transport ships, were mainly responsible for logistics and making every effort to clean up all the coastal areas of the Ming Empire, especially the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Liangguang.
The 10 garrison divisions and the seven logistics divisions were divided into four routes and closely followed the advance of the four routes.
Among them, Hong'er was only assigned to a logistics division and a garrison division, and the rest of the three armies were equally divided into fifteen logistics divisions and garrison divisions.
After a full month of troop movements, before Li Dingguo's order for a general attack was issued, all units were ready to attack with all their might.
In the early morning of the first day that had just begun in late November, the four armies launched a surprise attack towards their respective targets and marched with all their might!
There is no doubt that the four-way army is like a broken bamboo, and the attack and attack of the southern expedition is like traveling to the Southern Ming Dynasty and showing off its might.
The four-way army swept all the way, and there was no enemy under him!
Everywhere they passed, the enemy either surrendered immediately or was routed in a wave!
Even the awesome Zuo Liangyu, thinking that relying on his 300,000 Nanzhen army, he thought that Lao Tzu was invincible in the world, and he was a little carried away.
As a result, Hong'er, who was the first to arrive in the west of Xiangyang City, led his Broken Army Corps and two reserve divisions, a total of 150,000 troops, and several rounds of Shenwei General Cannon salvos blew up the heavy Xiangyang City Gate!
Under the cover of artillery fire, the 150,000 army attacked Xiangyang City with just one charge!
Then, under the attack of the crossbows, muskets, and artillery of the Ming New Army, which had a long range, Zuo Liangyu was beaten to heavy losses in just one wave, and fled from Xiangyang City overnight.
This guy was very unlucky, so he escaped from Xiangyang City, and met Lu Jiude's brave guards who came from the south!
Lu Jiude's brave guards, because they have been on the battlefield for a long time, are more fierce than Hong'er's army-breaking army, and immediately ordered to beat the water dogs!
Zuo Liangyu's remnants of the defeated generals, where will they be the opponents of the Ming New Army who are armed to the teeth? Not to mention the fact that it's still a field battle!
As soon as the two sides engaged, less than half an hour passed, and the army of Zuo Liangyu Nanzhen, which had stubbornly resisted, began to break and flee.
Zuo Liangyu, a guy who ran very fast, led some die-hard people to flee into the nearby mountains and forests, and soon disappeared.
In the battle of Xiangyang, about 100,000 people were captured and more than 100,000 were killed or wounded.
With Zuo Liangyu, there were only 10,000 diehards of 10,000 or 20,000 diehards, and the rest of the tens of thousands of Nanming soldiers fled to all directions. Everyone
However, these guys couldn't escape far, because Lu Jiude had already ordered several cavalry brigades to pursue in all directions.
Unless they hide in the mountains and do not come out, they will only be killed or captured.
However, even if they hid in the mountains as savages, they would not survive long.
Lu Jiude and Hong'er both have a fighting chicken, and they are always by their side to listen to orders.
After the battlefield is straightened out and Xiangyang City is cleaned up, with the reconnaissance of the two battle chickens, it is easy to find the enemy's traces, that is, Zuo Liangyu and their death time has arrived.
Even the well-organized Zuo Liangyu Nanzhen Corps was not the enemy of Lu Jiude and Hong'er, not to mention that the soldiers of Li Dingguo and Hao Shaoqi were divided into two routes, thinking that the horns were advancing together.
Just a short day later, as Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong led the remnants of the defeated army to flee south, Huai'an Mansion and Luzhou Mansion had already fallen into the hands of Li Dingguo and Hao Shaoqi.
The next Yangzhou Mansion and Anqing Mansion could not stop the southward advance of Li Dingguo and Hao Shaoqi's two armies.
……
The battles in the northwest and south of the Ming Empire no longer need Zhu Youxiao to worry about, and the new army of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly victorious.
After receiving the latest battle report between Lu Xiangsheng and Li Dingguo, Zhu Youxiao just chuckled lightly and did not feel any surprise.
If you don't move, it's just that, if you move like thunder, it's the new army of the Ming Empire today.
At least during this period, there was no real rival who could withstand the waves and tides of attacks of the Ming New Army.
"It's coming! When Emperor Nanming and Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan of the Western Liang Kingdom were killed, my luck was enough to upgrade. ”
"But ......"
Zhu Youxiao looked at the five huge trap beasts that were about to take shape in front of him, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes, "These five trap beasts, the more they are assembled, the more complicated they become. ”
"It will take at least two months or so to assemble them."
However, this is also just right, by the time these five trap beasts are assembled, it is estimated that the southern expedition army has also achieved victory.
At that time, the luck value and carpenter level both met the requirements of the upgrade, and Zhu Youxiao's long-standing dream and wish were completed.
However, if you want to strengthen these five extremely huge trap beasts to the mortal-level nine stars, it will take at least a year!
After all, these five big guys are really too big, and Zhu Youxiao's mental power is not high, and if he wants to strengthen them as soon as possible, he is also more than capable of strength.
Fortunately, the carpenter experience gained by the craftsman hammer is based on the difficulty of Zhu Youxiao's carpenter work and the finished product.
After Zhu Youxiao built and assembled these five huge trap beasts, it was when the carpenter's process was completed, and it had nothing to do with the subsequent enhancement of the craftsman's hammer.
In other words, at the moment when Zhu Youxiao finally formed these five trap beasts, the carpenter experience that should be obtained could be obtained immediately.
At that time, after the successful upgrade was completed and he became the true owner of the Craftsman Hammer, Zhu Youxiao could learn some secrets of the Craftsman Hammer.
There were many incomprehensions before, and when the time comes, there will be some preliminary answers.
In the past, he was often frightened by the warnings of the craftsman's hammer, and he didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet to do anything, and he was a little scared.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to know: why there are a lot of mysterious situations in this ordinary historical time and space, and the reason why the craftsman hammer wants to keep a low profile as much as possible.
In addition to looking forward to it, he was also a little hesitant and uneasy in his heart, happy and worried.
