Chapter 1041: Thunder Cannon
Although Cheng Yanjin was conceited and brave when he was young, he still felt a little powerless when he saw the Tang Army's unilateral massacre of the Japanese soldiers. Even he couldn't stand up straight in front of the gunpowder weapon.
From now on, any brave generals will become a thing of the past, as long as the soldiers fight accurately, it is enough!
Li Shimin also had the same idea, obviously it was a big victory without war damage, but he really couldn't afford to be proud. If this continues, their record of beating 10,000 enemies or anything will become a joke.
Seeing that Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin were both depressed, how could Leng Feng not know what they were thinking.
When all the explosions died down, Leng Feng spoke: "Don't get into the horns, although gunpowder weapons do raise the lethality to a peak, but the courage of the soldiers is just as important. If it was a coward with a gunpowder weapon in his hand, he could not hold out until the time of victory, but knelt down and surrendered. In the future, what if the Thunderbolt Division researches the heaven-level thunder? War is never won by weapons alone, and the individual combat ability of soldiers is equally important. ”
According to Leng Feng's words, Li Shimin deduced his thoughts and found that this was really the case.
The commander of the Thunder Division has been by Li Shimin's side, and he also spoke: "Your Majesty, what the King of Freedom said is right, the bravery of the soldiers is still the first factor in winning the war. Recently, the Thunderbolt Division has been researching the new weapon that King Xiaoyao said, and after this weapon is researched, equipment such as thunderbolts is destined to be obsolete, and the soldier's personal qualities will be immediately manifested at that time. ”
Li Shimin nodded, since he was at ease, he didn't have to be depressed. With a wave of his hand, Li Shimin ordered all the troops of the warships to prepare to go ashore, as long as the ones who controlled the ships were left.
This time, Datang sent a total of 40,000 troops, which can be called the first time since the world's attack on Tang that so many troops were dispatched.
Compared with the entire country of the Japanese State, although 40,000 people are less, Li Shimin has the confidence to use 40,000 troops to conquer a country.
The battlefield is actually very disgusting, and people who are not strong enough will vomit half their lives when they get to the battlefield.
Many of the attachés were generals who had not experienced a major battle, but although they frowned, they did not lose their temper.
Compared with them, Li Shimin is much more terrifying. After the boat docked, this guy actually smelled the smell of blood and gunpowder in the air like a flower, and he had an expression of enjoyment.
Li Ke also followed this time, and after going ashore, he naturally took over his father's wheelchair and pushed his father around the beach.
After seeing the battlefield after a long absence, Li Shimin ordered the generals of all departments to gather together and assign tasks.
The map of the big board, thanks to the efforts of the spies, has been accurate to the extent that each household is accurate. In order to prevent Soga Jiro from escaping, Li Shimin studied the map thoroughly when he was on the ship, and drew countless lines on it.
"Tang Jin, you lead 10,000 dragon tooth guards to attack from the front, I don't want you to kill many enemies, I want you to feel terrifying. The imperial city of the Japanese people is still relatively strong, and it is estimated that they will first consider holding the city stubbornly, and they will only break through and retreat when they have nothing to defend. ”
"Cheng Chuhei, I want you to lead 5,000 soldiers from the Northeast to seal the west road of the palace."
"Zhang He, I want you to lead five thousand soldiers from the Northeast to seal the east road of the palace."
"Feng Zhidai, I want you to lead your 10,000 subordinates, plus the remaining 10,000 soldiers from the Northeast, to follow me across the palace and set up an ambush in the north of the palace, this is the official battlefield."
"Zhang Judao, this time it is a land operation, you can't use your sailors, the South China Sea Fleet is temporarily under your control, unless Tang Jin needs it, you don't need to join the battlefield."
....
As one order after another was issued, the generals immediately set out to execute the orders.
When all the plans were prepared, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the map in a daze. How many years have passed, and he has once again experienced the thrill of commanding. It's just that his body has decayed to the extreme, otherwise he should be dressed all over his body at this time and lead the team to attack the city!
With a sigh, Li Shimin let Leng Feng push him and follow the team around.
Since this dispatch of troops is destined to be an act of burning money, it is necessary to find a way to recover the losses as much as possible. As for making money with the army, what could be better than looting? The imperial city of the Wa Kingdom was a good target for plunder.
The opportunity to return to the capital is in the imperial city, so Li Shimin did not order the attack, but asked Tang Jin to make a feint. As long as the main force of the Wa Kingdom retreated and left the imperial city, he would be able to swallow the enemy in one gulp in the north with half of his troops!
The gunpowder weapon gave Li Shimin an unprecedented appetite, and he was not afraid to hold on at all.
The roar of thunder began to appear, indicating that Tang Jin had already led the team to attack.
In half a day, Li Shimin chose a good ambush site, which was the only way for the retreat of the Japanese state, and the road was narrow, even if the deserters wanted to turn around and escape, they had to panic for a while before they could turn around.
And this time is enough for his 20,000 troops to complete the encirclement.
Leng Feng also put on armor, Li Shimin pushed his wheelchair to the front with an old heart, and once the battle was engaged, Leng Feng had to defend him responsibly.
However, when he saw Leng Feng in armor, Li Shimin's eyes became gloomy: "At your age, I can't ride a horse or dance a horse lance, I can't imagine that you can still go to the battlefield now." ”
Leng Feng shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I can maintain my health better than all of you, although my skills have indeed degraded, but there is no problem with my hands." If you start a fight for a while, you won't be completely useless. ”
After speaking, Leng Feng asked the soldiers to send a thunder cannon.
The thunder cannon researched by the lightning division is actually something similar to an RPG bazooka, although the power is not as good as that of an RPG, but it is more than a step more powerful than the thunderbolt carried by a single soldier.
The power is high, and the reaction force when launching is also large, so Leng Feng made a brake for Li Shimin on the ship, which can allow him to complete the launch in a wheelchair.
Leng Feng, who is familiar with Li Shimin's character, knows that Li Shimin hopes that he can join the war in person rather than sit in a wheelchair and watch. And he is a paralyzed old man, probably only gunpowder weapons can fulfill his wish.
Li Shimin, who learned that he could also use the thunder cannon, was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to give it a try.
After equipping the retractor again, Li Shimin had a good time. Even for lunch, he carried a thunder cannon to eat, for fear that the Japanese people would appear soon.
Tang Jin's attack lasted all day, but the Japanese had no intention of abandoning the city and fleeing.
Li Shimin, who waited for a day and didn't wait for the deserters, felt extremely sorry, and under Li Ke's persuasion, he asked people to put away the thunder cannon and go down to rest.
