Chapter 312: Shocking Armageddon! Du Chang creates history
The main army of 300,000 of the Li clan is one hundred and ten miles away.
Next, Du Chang had to face a difficult problem.
What to do with this super baggage team?
It is one hundred and seventy miles away from Fuzhou City, and the materials of this baggage team add up to nearly 10 million catties.
Each twelve-pounder gun plus the gun carriage weighed about four or five thousand pounds.
"One hundred and seventy miles, this baggage team can be completed in a few days at the earliest. Du Yan asked.
"More than seven days. The slave leader said, "Because our twelve-pounder cannon is too big and heavy." ”
It's no wonder that Abs directly threw this baggage team behind, and he killed Fuzhou City with a six-pounder cannon.
Seven days?
Li's army of 300,000 is only about a hundred miles away.
Of course, the march of hundreds of thousands of troops was also slow, but it was also faster than this baggage team.
And their vanguard will be fast, and their cavalry will be faster.
Although there are not many cavalry in Li Ruhai, there are also 10,000 or 20,000, not to mention some barbarian tribes, elephant soldiers, and beast cavalry.
Therefore, this baggage team will definitely be caught up by Li's cavalry.
Give up these artillery, give up these baggage supplies?
This is absolutely impossible.
These twelve-pounder guns were too precious, and they were a super weapon for Du Chang to win this war.
How many troops can Du Chang send to protect this batch of artillery and baggage supplies? 10,000 people, 20,000 people? He only has 50,000 people in total!
The Li clan has an army of hundreds of thousands, and the fast-moving vanguard army alone may exceed more than 50,000.
Therefore, it is possible to smoothly transport this batch of artillery and baggage back to Fuzhou City.
And the most important thing is that the army of Yuan Tianzhao and Xuancheng Hou Lu Zhan is getting closer and closer to Baise City.
Wait until the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Li clan arrive at Fuzhou City, and then carry out a decisive battle. Even if Du Chang won a complete victory and led the army back to Baise City, it would be at least half a month later.
Will Yuan Tianzhao and Xuancheng Hou Lu Zhan's 120,000 army give him half a month?
Du Chang must race against time frantically, even if he ends the war a day or two early, he can change the fate of Baise City.
Du Bian closed his eyes and said, "System, I will return to Fuzhou City at full speed with this baggage team, can I keep these artillery?"
The dream system said: "Then you will face a decisive battle with the Li Clan's vanguard in the field, which will be very unfavorable to you." The probability of keeping these guns is about 60%, but the loss of other supplies is very large. ”
Du Bian said: "If I fight a decisive battle with the 300,000 main army of the Li clan in Fuzhou City, will I have time to return to Baise City?"
The dream system said: "It's almost zero, you have to advance the decisive battle to have a chance to rescue Baise City, you have a chance to save the emperor and save the hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, because the capital is about to run out of food." ”
The dream system is right.
The millions of people in the capital and the emperor now only eat one meal a day, and only drink porridge.
Even the army in the city only had two meals of porridge a day.
Caoyun, sea transportation has been cut off for three months, and Fang's blockade of the capital has been more than three months.
It can be said that if it weren't for Du Bian asking Princess Ning Xue to bring back that sentence so that the emperor could support it no matter what, in order to save the people of the capital, the emperor might have ended up with himself at this time.
The dream system said: "You must fight a decisive battle in advance to save all the situation." ”
If you fight a decisive battle in advance, you can't wait for Li's 300,000 army to attack Fuzhou City. At this time, the main army of the Li clan was still nearly three hundred miles away from Fuzhou City.
It is necessary to find a decisive battle between Fuzhou City and the main army of the Li clan!
Du Bian closed his eyes and asked the dream system to call up the most detailed topographic map, searching in great detail to find a suitable location for the decisive battle.
This site must have a walled city to hold onto, and no pure field warfare can be conducted.
The Li clan has an army of 300,000, and Du Bian only has 50,000, even if there are artillery and arrows of destruction, the disparity between the military strength of the two sides is too great, and Du Bian's casualties will be very amazing.
Soon, Du Bian found a location.
This is pretty much the only location.
Big Dragon Castle!
Yunnan is a plateau terrain, with many mountains and relatively few flat land.
The flat land on the plateau is called the dam, and there are ten famous dams in Yunnan Province, the smallest dam is three or four hundred square kilometers.
There are also about forty or fifty dams with an area of more than 100 square kilometers.
Da Long Fort was built on one of the dams, which is a flat land of nearly 100 square kilometers in Quang Nam.
This Dalong Fort is more than 200 miles away from the Great Yan King City, 150 miles away from Fuzhou City, only 30 miles away from Du Bian's baggage team, and 140 miles away from the 300,000 main army of the Li family.
If you choose to play the showdown with the Li clan here, you can advance the time by more than four days.
Opening his eyes, Du Bian gritted his teeth violently and said, "Don't go back to Fuzhou City, fight with the Li clan in advance!"
Fu Hongbing was shocked and said, "Where is the decisive battle with the Li family's 300,000 army in advance?"
Du Bian took out the map and said, "Dalong Fort, more than thirty miles away from here. ”
Then, Du Bian led a thousand cavalry and quickly rushed to Dalong Fort, more than 30 miles away, to conduct a field investigation.
......
Big Dragon Fort.
It was a large military fortress and military camp built by Mohs Tusi.
When Mo's Tusi rebelled, at most more than 80,000 troops were stationed in Dalong Fort.
At that time, Dalong Fort was built, and Guizhou could be attacked in the north, and Kunming Mansion could be attacked in the west.
One of the battles of Song Que, the Duke of Zhennan, was fought in Dalongbao.
Song Que's 50,000 army was the attacker, and Mo's 30,000 army was the defender, and as a result, in seven days, Song Que broke through Dalong Fort.
Today, this barracks fortress has been abandoned for nearly ten years.
More than half an hour later, Du Bian rushed into the deserted Dalong Fort.
After entering the Great Dragon Castle, Du Bian couldn't help frowning slightly.
This military camp fortress is indeed large enough, more than four or five thousand acres, and even more than the average small city, after all, there have been at most eighty thousand troops stationed here.
But there are several downsides.
First of all, at that time, the Mo clan built Dalong Fort not to hold a certain level, but to attack, and it was also the most important material transit place, so this dam land was chosen.
The terrain here is very flat and open, even more open than Fuzhou City, and you can see the flat land that spans more than ten miles at a glance.
Therefore, this area is very suitable for large-scale use of troops, and it is difficult for Li's 300,000 army to be deployed outside Fuzhou City, but it can be fully spread here, which is somewhat unfavorable to Du Bian.
Secondly, although this Great Dragon Fort is large enough, it can completely fit Du Chang's army of 50,000. But after all, it was a huge camp, not a city.
Although there is a wall, it is still strong.
This walled wall is made of mud, and then the inside and outside are sandwiched with thick wood, although the thickness of the walled wall is not as good as the city wall, but there are about two or three meters.
The key drawback is that the walled wall is too low, the wall of Fuzhou City is still eight or nine meters high, and the walled wall of this big dragon fort is only five meters high.
And after all, it has been abandoned for almost ten years, so many of the forts here have been broken.
Many of the wooden houses have collapsed, and many of the remaining ones are also starting to leak and mold.
In short, the defense power here is far inferior to Fuzhou City, and the decisive battle here is far less easy than Fuzhou City, which is a strong city after all.
However, Dalongbao also has an advantage, that is, it is backed by a mountain, and the wall is an arc, so you only need to defend one side.
Of course, this also caused the entire wall to be very long, eight miles long.
In addition, there is another advantage, because the whole Dalong Fort is built on the mountain, the terrain is higher than the flat land below, and it can be condescending.
Although there are various unfavorable circumstances, it is possible to advance the decisive battle by at least four or five days.
Time is of the essence when it comes to Du Chang. One day in advance can change the fate of Baise City, and four or five days in advance can change the fate of hundreds of thousands of people.
It's decided, and the decisive battle location is in Dalong Castle.
Du Chang's horse whip snapped and said, "Order Fu Hongbing to lead four thousand cavalry to protect the baggage team and rush to Dalong Fort." Then he ordered those giants and slaves to seize some time to rest in the Great Dragon Fort for the arrival of Armageddon. ”
"Yes!" the giant wolf scout cavalry commanded, and quickly rushed towards the baggage team protected by Fu Hongbing.
And Du Bian quickly returned to Fuzhou City.
......
The team led by Du Yan rode the giant wolf mount, and the speed was very fast, and after just over an hour, they entered the city of Fuzhou.
"Leave two thousand samurai behind to defend Fuzhou City!"
"Remember that the key is to guard the grain depot, and the city of Fuzhou is only open for one hour in the morning every day for the people to receive food, and the rest of the time anyone appears on the street, and they will be killed. ”
"Once the Li army divides its forces to attack Fuzhou City, your two thousand warriors will immediately retreat and return to Baise City at full speed. ”
"If the people in the city dare to cause trouble, they will be killed!"
Du changed a series of orders!
A young city lord of the peerless dungeon, who was left by Du Bian to guard Fuzhou City, after listening to Du Bian's order, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Obey the lord's order." ”
Then, Du Bian led an army of 43,000 and left Fuzhou City in a mighty way and went to Dalong Fort, one hundred and fifty miles away.
......
Thirty-six hours later!
The 43,000 troops led by Du Bian were stationed in Dalong Fort, while Fu Hongbing's 4,000 cavalry protected the baggage team was stationed a few hours ago.
At this time, the entire Dalong Fort has been turned into a huge construction site.
Thousands of slaves are resting on the walls, and a thousand giants are cutting wood.
Du Chang climbed the wall and began one of the most important tasks, the placement of artillery.
If necessary, it is really necessary to build a temporary fort on the wall.
Dalong Fort is more than 4,000 acres, with an arc-shaped wall of more than 4,000 meters, and 70 12-pounder guns, exactly 50 or 60 meters apart from one cannon, this density is already okay.
At this time, Du Chang couldn't help but feel sorry for the one hundred and thirty six-pounder guns, but unfortunately all of them were destroyed, otherwise the two hundred guns would be even more powerful.
Soon, Du Bian decided on the location of seventy temporary batteries. Next, tens of thousands of people needed to be mobilized to build these 70 temporary forts against the wall.
The entire huge military camp fortress of Dalongbao is in full swing, and Du Bian is leading tens of thousands of troops and making final preparations.
Standing on the top of the wall, overlooking the large open space below, in a few days, this huge open space will be filled with hundreds of thousands of troops of the Li clan.
Fu Hongbing said: "Lord, this terrain is too open, enough for hundreds of thousands of enemy troops to spread out, which is very unfavorable to our defense. ”
Yes, more than a few dozen square kilometers of flat land. At that time, in order to train the troops, the Mo clan specially selected a location for the troops.
"I know. Du said: "But I have to race against time, and I can't have a decisive battle in Fuzhou City." It is better to have such a huge camp than to fight in the open field. ”
Fu Hongbing said: "Do you need to dig a trench in front of the wall, pile up obstacles?"
In the previous battle with Li Wanwan, those obstacles in front of Baise City made a huge contribution.
After thinking for a while, Du Bian shook his head and said, "No need, let's just do it." ”
Because the most lethal to the enemy is still shotguns. If you have a barrier wall and a trench, it will only cheapen the enemy and you can dodge.
Time keeps ticking.
The army of Du Chang won the bid and built 70 temporary forts. Build a wall and prepare battle supplies.
The tension in the air almost froze.
......
The main army of the Li clan is a camp of 300,000.
Stretching for dozens of miles, the barracks are endless.
Crown Prince Li Zhan was helpless in his heart, in fact, places like Yunnan and Guangxi were not suitable for hundreds of thousands of marches at all.
But there is no way, the king has personally conquered, and he must be powerful.
Moreover, this battle not only had to eliminate the main force of Du Bian, but also to take back Fuzhou City and Baise City, but also to occupy half of Guangxi.
Li Ruhai has always said that Du Bian is a milk tiger who came out of the mountain, after all, he tried his best to eliminate him.
So 300,000 troops were dispatched, and the real killing of chickens was carried out with a knife.
Li Ruhai is full of personality, according to the convention, the monarch and the crown prince must always have one to stay in the royal city, but he didn't, but let his wife stay in the royal city.
Entering the king's camp, Li Zhan saw his father Li Ruhai holding a piece of information in his hand, and his face was very surprised and surprised.
The crown prince said sharply: "Father, what's the matter?"
Li Ruhai handed over the information.
After the crown prince Li Zhan took it, he suddenly hissed in disbelief: "Is Du Bian's crazy? Is his brain in water? Fuzhou City, which he finally took down, is not stunned, and he actually led the main army to enter Dalong Fort?"
He really can't imagine?
"Fuzhou is a strong city, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Du Bian didn't wait there to fight us, but took the initiative to come forward and chose to fight us in the Great Dragon Fort?" Li Zhan said: "That place is flat and open, and it is most suitable for a super-large army like ours to spread out and attack. And this is a military camp fortress that has been abandoned for almost ten years, and the walls are made of mud and wood, less than two feet high. ”
King Li Ruhai nodded.
The crown prince Li Zhan said: "Back then, the Mo family's 30,000 troops guarded the Great Dragon Fort, and Song Que led 50,000 troops to attack, and it was broken in less than ten days. And now that Du Bian has less than 50,000 troops, and we have 300,000 troops, more than six times the number of troops, isn't it easy to break through such a barracks and fortress that has been abandoned for nearly ten years?"
Picking up a cup of tea and drinking it, the crown prince said sharply: "Father, why is this?"
Li Ruhai said: "The 120,000 army of Xuancheng Hou and Yuan Tianzhao is rushing towards Baise City, Du Bian wants to fight with us in advance, so that he has enough time to return to rescue Baise City." ”
The crown prince said sharply: "He, he still wants to win against our 300,000 army? This person is already crazy, completely crazy." ”
An old man next to him said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Li Rulong and Abs have both been defeated. ”
The crown prince Li Zhan said: "The defeat of Arbus's 50,000-strong army was completely self-defeating, and there is enough information to show that it was his own fire oil that exploded, ignited a shocking fire and burned all his army to death, and Du Bian took the opportunity to kill and destroy it." ”
Then, the crown prince Li Zhan said: "Grand Priest, do you think that our 300,000 army cannot destroy the more than 40,000 army of Du Chang?"
The old man said: "That's naturally nine out of ten, I just want to say that although we have an incomparably huge advantage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still don't underestimate the enemy." ”
Whether it was Li Ruhai, Li Zhan, or this high priest, he couldn't think of any reason for immortality at all.
First of all, Du Bian's army had already gone through two fierce battles, and then marched more than a hundred miles.
The most important thing is not to defend the city, but to choose a decisive battle in a broken military camp Dazhai. It is simply the time and place that have been handed over to the Li family.
300,000 against more than 40,000.
Don't say it's Du Bian, even if the gods come, they can't save Du Bian.
The crown prince Li Zhan said: "Father, do you want to divide your troops to attack Fuzhou City and cut off Du Chang's retreat?"
Li Ruhai shook his head and said, "Is there a way out for him?"
The next day, Li Ruhai gave an order.
The 300,000 army pulled out of camp and rushed towards the Great Dragon Fort.
......
Three days later, the head of Baise City!
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
The earth trembled again, and it had only been more than three months since the end of the last great war.
Once again, Baise City has welcomed a vicious enemy.
The 70,000 troops of Xuancheng Hou Lu Zhan were mighty and mighty, and the soldiers were approaching the city.
"Qing Jun's side, punish the traitorous ministers, kill Du Chang!"
"Qing Jun's side, punish the traitorous ministers, kill Du Chang!"
......
Inside the Great Dragon Castle, there was silence.
The birds and beasts within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to have fled without a trace, or were hiding in their nests and shivering.
Seventy temporary batteries have been built.
Seventy twelve-pounder cannons have all been placed on the casemates. Each gun had five gunners and ten samurai.
More than 10,000 of the most elite warriors stood on top of the walled wall of more than 4,000 meters. There were more than 30,000 samurai left, lined up behind the wall.
Despite the tens of thousands of people, no one made a sound, and even coughed with baud. However, the sound of breathing and heartbeat could not be stopped. The clear heartbeat and clear breathing make the air even more quiet and oppressive.
The weather today is not good either. It was gloomy and the air was very humid and extremely muggy. It's still so hot in September.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Suddenly, there were several muffled thunderclaps in the sky. Du Chang looked at the sky, and the dark clouds overheaded, obscuring the sun.
Don't let it rain.
And the air has really frozen to the point of dripping.
More than 10,000 warriors on the wall of the wall still stood upright, motionless.
Hundreds of artillerymen, silently wiping the barrels, checking the gunpowder over and over again.
Suddenly, Du Chang's body jerked, and his eyes shrank suddenly.
It's coming, it's coming......
A black dragon appeared from afar.
The main army of the Li clan is here, a full 300,000!
"Bang ......"
The black dragon was getting longer, bigger, and closer.
The whole earth began to tremble and tremble.
"Quack Quack ......"
Suddenly, thousands of birds flew out of the woods, black pressure filled the sky, and in a moment they fled without a trace.
Just now, they just hid in the nest and didn't dare to make a sound, but when they saw the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Li clan, they were all so frightened that they all fled.
The army of the 300,000 Great Yan Kingdom of the Li Clan, like a dark beast, is constantly approaching, approaching.
The dark clouds in the sky are getting lower and lower.
The sky is getting darker.
There is not a hint of wind.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Bursts of thunder.
......
Three hours later!
The 300,000 troops of the Li Great Yan Dynasty really arrived in front of the Great Dragon Fort.
This is the first time Du Yan has seen an army of 300,000.
After spreading out, it is really like a black ocean, boundless.
The ground was black and oppressive for miles, all of which were troops.
The area of the 300,000 army is even far more than the 4,000 acres of the Great Dragon Fort, as if an incomparably huge dark beast can devour the entire Great Dragon Fort in one bite.
This picture that covers the sky and the sun, Li Ruhai, the king of Great Yan, is even the first time to see it.
Because in the past, whether it was assembling or marching, it was divided into several groups, and the 300,000 troops had not all been assembled together.
His heart is incomparably heroic.
That's how it should be!
He felt that he had the power to destroy the world, and that these hundreds of thousands of troops were like giant dragons, enough for him to turn things upside down and master the sun, moon and stars.
Compared with these hundreds of thousands of troops, his invincible martial arts are nothing.
"Push, push, push, push......"
Tens of thousands of Hercules, yelling desperately, pushed two hundred giant trebuchets forward.
Just over half an hour later.
More than 200 giant trebuchets were pushed to a distance of 400 meters from the wall of Dalong Fort.
"Army, enter!"
At the sound of an order, dozens of order flags were waved at the same time.
Li's hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of phalanxes, mighty and neatly advanced.
"Stop!"
The army at the forefront stopped at a distance of four hundred and thirty meters from the wall of the Great Dragon Fort.
Hundreds of thousands of troops became a black arc, encircling the entire Great Dragon Fort.
The crown prince Li Zhan came to King Li Ruhai and knelt down on one knee and said, "Father!"
Li Ruhai personally handed over a black flame order flag to the crown prince Li Zhan.
Li Zhan took the order flag, then climbed the wooden platform of more than ten meters, and shouted: "All trebuchets, ready!"
Suddenly, more than 200 giant trebuchets were opened!
On the high platform of the wall of Dalongbao, Du Chang raised the command flag high and said: "All artillery, ready!"
His heart was so excited!
Twelve-pound large artillery, which appeared for the first time on the battlefield of the Daning Empire.
He has changed and wants to create history and change history.
Seventy large twelve-pounder guns, under the operation of several hundred gunners, completed the first aiming.
The crown prince Li Zhan yelled: "Release!"
"Whoosh ......"
More than 200 trebuchets roared wildly, violently ejecting a hundred catties of stone projectiles, whistling in the air, and smashing towards the Great Dragon Castle.
Du Bian yelled: "Release!"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
Seventy guns, a roar.
This moment is truly earth-shattering.
Terrible flames burst out of the muzzle.
Two hundred twelve-pound solid cannonballs shot at an astonishing speed, like dark lightning, towards the mighty army.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
There was a shrill whistling sound in the air, piercing and terrifying.
Just a moment......
These 200 shells were fired into the formation of the powerful army with great ferocity.
In an instant, it was devastating!
......
Note: The second more is sent, today two more than 10,000, please support, please ask for a monthly pass, thank you!
