Chapter 564: Opportunity Forever

Facing nearly a thousand Yuan warships. Li Beiyang's eyes were always only fixed on the three main warships of the Yuan army. Although these three warships cannot be compared with the giant ships of Shenzhou. But it stood out among the warships of the Yuan army.

The main thing is . One of the warships was the flagship of the Yuan Army's naval division. That is, the ship where Liu Quan's place is.

After withstanding another round of artillery fire . All three ships were incapacitated. A fire has already broken out on one of the ships. And it's getting bigger and bigger. I can't break out of the encirclement. The three warships unanimously chose to flee back. The remaining Yuan warships saw their flagship retreat. Also immediately turn the bow of the boat. Turn back home.

Li Beiyang looked at the dozens of small warships of the Yuan army that rushed out. Sneered. He ordered: "The order goes down. The left flank and the right flank each sent a hundred fast warships to pursue the enemy fleeing east. The rest of the ships pursued westward. All in one go. Annihilate all the Yuan army's sailors in the Bohai Bay."

The adjutant general on the side hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord. Do you want to chase down the enemy's base?"

"Not bad. Today's behavior of Liu Cheng is abnormal. If I'm not bad at all. It should be the Northern Expeditionary Army led by the emperor that has already attacked Dadu. That Liu Cheng was worried about the enemy on his abdomen and back. will ignore the disadvantage of its power far inferior to our army. Forced breakout."

"Yes. My lord."

Under the suppression of the artillery on the giant ship . The long-range weapons on the warships of the Yuan army did not work at all. Although the hit rate of the artillery is very low. But the morale of the Yuan army's sailors was low. Not even the slightest thought of rebellion. It's just a one-sided rout. These soldiers of the Yuan Army were eager to return to camp immediately. Then he abandoned the boat and went ashore and fled.

Quite coincidentally. When night comes. The Song army in the capital city just hit a mile in front of the palace of the Yuan Dynasty. And the Song Army's naval division led by Li Beiyang also happened to conquer the Yuan Army's naval base.

The Yuan soldiers in the base only put up a slight resistance. In the absence of a manager's command. Soon he chose to surrender. After inspecting the three main warships and Liu Quan's command post on land. It's late at night. But Li Beiyang did not find any trace of Liu Quan. The Yuan army on the flagship is unanimously recognized. Liu Cheng is not on this flagship. The other generals of the Yuan army also did not know which ship their commander had boarded. As for whether it is life or death. It's even more unknown.

This is for Li Beiyang. I guess it's the only regret. Li Beiyang sat in Liu Quan's command post. The commander of the other Shenzhou giant ship, Ouyang Jianqing, said, "General Ouyang. Broaden your search. Meantime. Report the battle report of the great victory of the sailor to the emperor."

Ouyang Jianqing was stunned and said, "My lord. Where is the emperor now?"

"It should be in the capital." Li Beiyang said with a smile. If not. Then let the messenger go south along the road."

"Yes. My lord."

Early the next morning. I was standing in a secluded dwelling more than a mile away from the Imperial Palace. Hold up the binoculars. Look at the palace." The exterior walls of the imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty are extraordinary. But compared to the city walls, it is much inferior. It won't take long. will be destroyed by our artillery." I said as I watched.

"Your Majesty. It's only three days at most. Whether you want to do it in one go. Destroy the walls of the palace." Lu Wenhuan asked.

"No, you don't." I thought about it." General Lü. Today, we can still bombard according to the normal attack time of one and a half hours."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

"Gongsun Xiaochen. Summons the order to go down. Let Wu Jiu and a thousand other troops carry out a carpet search in the south of the city with a box of troops. Look at the people who need to be rescued or the remnants of the Yuan army."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

After Gongsun Xiaochen left. Lu Wenhuan said: "Your Majesty. According to the people saved by our army. There are not as many Han people in the capital as expected. This capital is a new city. Since the beginning of the self. The place where most of the capital is located is the land of Liao. Although it was recaptured by our dynasty. But more than 100 years ago, it was occupied by the Jin people. It is because most of them are the people of the original Jin Kingdom. The Han Chinese only account for about 40 percent."

I nodded. Understand what Lu Wenhuan meant: "General Lu. Start shelling."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Thirty-one artillery pieces have been brought into the city. With Wan Yan Tianlei's order. The artillery battalion, which had rested for several days, began shelling again.

The more experienced soldiers of the artillery battalion fired shells into the gates of the palace and the walls on both sides.

"Quasi. It's getting more and more accurate." Fang Ling praised. This first round of shelling hit almost all of them."

"It's inevitable. After countless actual battles. In such a close-range shot . The accuracy of the artillery battalion is already very high."

"Brother. The artillery and the city walls were separated by more than three hundred meters. It's kind of close."

"Of course. It is normal for artillery to have a range of more than 1,000 meters in the future."

"Is that an exaggeration?"

I smiled: "Don't say a thousand meters. 10,000 meters is not impossible."

Fang Ling stuck out his tongue. smiled: "That 100,000 meters is also possible."

"Ling'er. How do you know."

"Brother. You said it. It is not illegal to brag. Then Ling'er blew it casually. 100,000 meters, 1 million meters."

Later generations of ICBMs could shoot up to 10,000 kilometers away. If I say it. Fang Ling would definitely think. I'm good enough to blow the sky out.

It's about the same as expected. More than an hour later. The walls of the royal palace are already cracked.

After stopping the bombardment. Wanyan Tianlei entered the hut where I was and said, "Your Majesty. According to the shooting frequency of today. The city walls can be destroyed the day after tomorrow."

"Good. General Wan Yan. The herald battalion was on standby. The Yuan army did not move. Then our army will rest on the spot."

"Yes. Your Majesty." Wan Yan Tianlei continued. Emperor. Thank you."

"Thank you." I was stunned.

"Your Majesty. Many of the people in this capital city are from the Kingdom of Jin. The emperor doesn't care about his past suspicions. The same bailout. The last general thanked the emperor for them."

"I see." I laughed. General Wan Yan. Aren't they also my people?"

In the evening. I just finished dinner. I received a battle report sent by Li Beiyang: Yesterday. Our army fought a decisive battle with the Yuan Dynasty naval division. It has been completely defeated. and landed in Bohai Bay last night. The whereabouts of Liu Quan, the chief general of the Yuan Army's naval division, are unknown. The battle data is still being counted. Please instruct the Emperor. My next move as a water master.

"Good. Okay." I laughed. The Yuan Army's sailors are gone. Message. The sailor rests on the spot."

Almost at the same time. Kublai Khan also learned the news of the annihilation of Liu's entire army. Although this has long been expected by him. I didn't expect my sailor to be vulnerable. In just one day's work, it was wiped out by the Southern Dynasty sailors.

Kublai Khan was depressed. I didn't even eat dinner. Just sitting alone in the study. And tell the guard at the door. Nobody is seen.

About the time I touched the child. A voice sounded outside the study: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty."

The irritable Kublai Khan was just about to get angry. But I still heard it. This is the voice of the Shaman Supreme Cai Nkiya: "Supreme Lord. Please."

After entering the house, Engya said, "I have seen the emperor."

"Your Excellency. You may be seated."

Cai Engiya smiled. sat down opposite Kublai Khan and said, "Your Majesty. Hundreds of years ago during the Tang Dynasty. There was an emperor named Li Longji. Its capital was once captured by the rebels of An Lushan. He had to flee to Kawanaka. But in the end, the army was gathered. defeated the rebels; The Southern Dynasty in a confrontation with our army. There was also the shame of Jingkang. A momentary defeat is nothing. There are still more than 100,000 soldiers on the east and west roads of our army. Far away in the Western Regions. In addition, there are tens of thousands of sergeants near Shangdu. Therefore. I recommend. The emperor can avoid its edge first. Return to the upper capital. Then we will be able to get back on the ground."

Kublai Khan shook his head and said, "My lord. I am the Emperor of the Great Yuan. How can you retreat back to Shangdu? It's not my doing."

"Your Majesty. The Han people have an old saying. While. Don't worry about running out of firewood. In the past, Xiang Bawang was a personal hero. Self-cutting Wujiang. Make Da Chu not there. And Liu Bang endured the humiliation. Fang has the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. The present emperor is wise and martial. In time. When the firearms of my dynasty are completed. I can compete with the Southern Dynasty again." Speaking of which. Caiengiya's expression became solemn. Go on." Emperor. How can personal honor and disgrace be compared with the inheritance of our dynasty?"

Kublai Khan's heart moved. He thought for a while before he said, "Supreme Lord. There were also nearly 3,000 musketeers in our court. When you can fight with the Southern Dynasties."

Cai Engya sighed and said, "Your Majesty. Even if I am able to play a one-on-two with the musketeers. But the Southern Dynasty had more than 30,000 musketeers. Plus artillery, shells. Our army is still at a disadvantage. This battle is bound to be lost. Moreover. Although the real gold prince returned to Shangdu. But the prince is gentle by nature. He is indeed the king of the country. But he is not the king of the frontier. And once the emperor and Dadu coexist and die. The Western khanates are bound to take advantage of the opportunity to start an uprising. When the time comes. I'm going to be in chaos in Mongolia. Maybe. Maybe it'll go back to the way it used to be."

"Your Excellency. Let me think about it a little more."

"Good. Your Majesty." Cai Engiya said with a resolute expression. If the emperor decides to live and die with the capital. Then I, Yin Shenzun, and Fang Chenqian will look for an opportunity. Go and assassinate Zhao Yu in the southern military camp."

"No." Kublai Khan refused without hesitation. Supreme Lord. You and the Seal God are the pillars of our dynasty. There are many masters beside Zhao Yu. Though. The three of you have a good chance together. But even if the assassination is successful, it is difficult to get rid of it. If something goes wrong. That's what I mean for me. It is really Mount Tai collapsed also. Let alone. If you want to assassinate Zhao Yu, you don't have to be here for a while. Wait for him to return to the palace. Not on the occasion of the arch of the army. There will be more opportunities."

"The emperor has a point. The opportunity is always there." A smile regained on Caienjia's face. Emperor. For the Great Yuan Dynasty. You and I are indispensable. Please also ask the emperor to think twice. Put your personal reputation in the back of your mind. Putting the national interest first. I reckon. The walls of the Imperial Palace will be destroyed by the artillery of the Southern Dynasty in the future. Tomorrow night. It will be the last good chance for our army to retreat."
