Chapter 144: Annihilation of the Kingdom of Linyi (2)

"It seems that our White Lotus Sect will fail to raise troops." Mu Baiyi sighed in self-pity.

No matter how high your martial arts are, a bullet will kill you.

Unlike bows and arrows, which can see the trajectory clearly, the rate of fire of bullets is difficult to catch with the naked eye, and the reaction speed cannot keep up.

"This flintlock pistol is the best at the moment, and it can shoot more than 200 steps." Li Yuan took the flintlock pistol from Mu Baiyi's hand, looked at the star chaser on the gun, then loaded the ammunition and shot it at the clay pot of the camp.

Bang!

The clay pot shattered, and the water inside spilled all over the ground along with the shards.

In fact, many people have the misconception that the guns of World War I are not as good as those of World War II, but in fact, they are not.

World War I mainly relied on infantry, and there were no tanks, the rifle at that time could shoot to a distance of 600 meters, and later scientific and technological progress, tanks and submachine guns appeared, and the shooting distance was reduced a lot, just to be able to suppress firepower, compared with the proportion of bullets killed in the past, it can be seen that there were dozens of bullets for a person in the past, and the US army in the later Iraq War only killed a person with thousands of bullets.

It can be said that the First World War was the "pinnacle" of rifles. ”

And the flintlock pistol is not outdated, compared to the submachine gun, in the current ancient battlefield.

The lethality of the submachine gun on the ancient battlefield is not as good as that of the rifle, because the ancient soldiers did not give up the armor, and the power of the submachine gun is in the rate of fire and firepower, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will be able to penetrate the armor.

So to send a division of troops, only to give guns, and want to slaughter the ancients, I'm afraid it's whimsical.

And the power of the rifle can take out the enemy at a great distance, leaving the ancients helpless without long-distance weapon attacks.

"With this flintlock pistol, it is only a matter of time before they are conquered, and I don't think those barbarians will have long-range weapons." Li Yuan put down the flintlock pistol and said with a smile.

The most famous long-range weapon is the artillery cart, but the artillery cart also needs to pay attention to the craftsmanship of craftsmen, and Zhenla and Linyi are still very primitive countries, and it is difficult to have a cannon cart.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to destroy them?" Mu Baiyi said the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"The two countries are not as rich as Jiangnan, and the land is not as vast as Mobei, so it is useless to take it and waste troops in vain."

Li Yuan was silent for a while, and some of the officials of the imperial court objected to him for this reason, he thought about it, and only said one sentence, "In the land of barbarians, rice can be harvested three times a year, and there are countless living people." ”

"Mu Baiyi.

The soil in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile, and it is not as fertile as the soil of the Indochina Peninsula, which has a subtropical climate, and the plants are subject to sufficient light and heat, and can reach three crops a year, which is also the reason why the Indochina Peninsula is densely populated in later generations and can also sell grain to other countries.

The land is so good.

For ancient China, the people took food as the sky, and no Chinese would oppose this naked temptation.

Therefore, when the officials of the court heard this reason, they were instantly excited, and they wanted to destroy all the countries on the Indochina Peninsula now, and then monopolize the treasure land.

In ancient China, where benevolence, righteousness and morality were mentioned, they were all inner saints and outer kings, and as long as you observe carefully, you will find that almost all the places suitable for cultivation in East Asia have been occupied by China.

Only the Liaodong area is occupied from time to time, and the most important thing is that the land is too bitter cold and no one goes

And the Indochina Peninsula, many Chinese people are not familiar with it, thinking that it is a barbarian land and useless to occupy it

Therefore, after Li Yuan's words came out, it can almost be used as a program for Huaxia, even if he fails the first time, he is not afraid, and he will come again the second time, in short, he will settle this fertile land.

In order to be able to cultivate the treasure land, the enthusiasm of the Southern Tang Dynasty can be imagined.

"Wechen knows." Mu Baiyi couldn't see the slightest expression on his face, and said lightly.

Originally, I thought that the Emperor Taishang was so happy, but I didn't expect that Nanban had such a treasure land, and the value is self-evident.

In the next half month, the Southern Tang army began to wander around the border of Linyi from time to time, but they just didn't go in, and they drilled the army every day.

This caused Lin Yiguo to be nervous and on strict vigilance every day.

On the first day, Lin Yiguo was on strict alert.

On the fifth day, Lin Yiguo's morale was a little slack.

On the tenth day, the soldiers of Lin Yiguo saw that the Tang army was like air, and they were not ready to fight anyway.

On the fifteenth day, the Tang army made a feint, only using trebuchets and artillery carts for a few hits, and then retreated.

For the next few days, it was like that.

Until the twenty-third day, Li Yuan felt that Lin Yiguo had been tortured, so he united with the Southern Barbarian Army to attack the city together.

In less than half a day, thirteen cities in the northern part of the Linyi Kingdom fell.

The Tang army crossed Lincheng again, and arrived at the capital of Linyi State.

The war was so easy that the Tang army was a little surprised, but Li Yuan still did not have arrogant troops, but instead defended the city, allowing Lin Yiguo to gather troops and prepare for battle.

The city is tall, and it is difficult to resist the onslaught of the Tang army, but when the time comes, the Tang army will fall into endless harassment behind enemy lines, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It is better to annihilate its living force in one fell swoop.

Diancheng.

"Report, Your Majesty, the prince of Zhenla Kingdom led 50,000 Zhenla soldiers to Zhancheng to reinforce Linyi, about 3,000 elephant soldiers!" Scout said.

"Elephant soldiers?" Li Xiaogong's face tightened, in the face of this giant beast, although the Tang army could use a cannon to deal with it, the effect was very small.

The elephant's skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the arrows can't shoot into it at all.

The elephant soldiers are basically the killer weapon of these small southern barbarian countries, and he can't help but be afraid of them.

"It's just a soldier, the King of Chu doesn't have to worry, the recent Ordnance Supervision has newly developed a weapon in addition to the one, can the King of Chu come out and see." Li Yuan said.

"Weichen dares to disobey." Li Xiaogong is very acquainted, and he is not proud at all, after all, he is Li Yuan's nephew.

In front of his uncle, how can he be rampant.

"Let the Divine Barracks come out." Li Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered to the eunuch beside him.

He did not give power to his generals in the Divine Battalion, but let the eunuchs take power.

After all, the eunuch has nothing under him, and he is the most loyal to the emperor.

Soon, the three-hundred-person Divine Barracks appeared on the school grounds.

Uniformly scaled and armoured, he holds a half-human-tall flintlock pistol and a three-edged military thorn around his waist.

"The Divine Barracks see Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live long live Long live!" The Divine Weapons Camp is majestic and loud.

Li Yuan bowed his head and was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, what are those soldiers holding in their hands? Why has he never seen it? Li Xiaogong became curious.

"yes, no one has ever seen this thing." The ministers said one after another.

"God Barracks, drill begins!" Li Yuan shouted.

The Divine Barracks couldn't help but say, and turned left in unison, and the team was neat and distinctive.

I saw a column of three rows, a row of half-squatting shots, very regular retreat, the next team is also so general, repeated, forming a coherent.

That's the triple hit!

"This weapon is so powerful that if it is used on the battlefield, it will be unstoppable." Li Xiaogong's face turned pale with fright from the successive gunshots, but he still maintained the face of the fierce general, and his teeth chattered.
