Chapter 198: Invincible.
"Hey, what's that?"
Seeing the arrival of the Ming Overseas Expeditionary Force, the eldest prince and his party were afraid of being swept into the battle and preparing to run away.
I was attracted by a huge stick flying towards me with thick flames on a huge battleship.
"Maybe it's a meet-and-greet ceremony, right?"
The Secretary of State looked at the big flying stick that was getting closer and closer, and said uncertainly.
The eldest prince nodded abruptly.
"It may be some custom, hey, why is it getting closer and closer!"
Looking at the huge sticks that were getting closer and closer, some people panicked inexplicably.
"No, it may be dangerous, run!"
A general who had been on the battlefield suddenly had an alarm in his heart, and with a low shout, he pulled the eldest prince to turn around and run.
"Whoosh!"
A huge sound of breaking the air sounded, and the huge dark red flying stick with a thick tail flame crashed into the beach in front of the pier in a daze.
"Poof!"
The huge power allowed the flying stick to burrow into the sand for half a foot.
The fuel that hasn't been consumed yet, and the flames are still spewing wildly behind the butt.
"Alas, the angle is wrong and I missed! The propellant is also a bit too much! ”
Seeing that the Celestial Arrow did not directly hit the dock, Master Zhang regretfully hammered the launcher.
Zhu Zhangui disagreed.
The accuracy of this thing is not reliable, and if it weren't for the fact that other ships are too small to set up a huge launch pad, he wouldn't have allowed this thing to be launched on the flagship.
There's no way, the Celestial Arrow is too unstable.
Three of the 10 experiments after the Northern Expedition exploded on the spot.
What's more, it is also loaded with a new type of gunpowder, and you can imagine how dangerous it is.
"Boom, boom!"
An earth-shattering bang rang out on the beach in front of the pier.
The fierce explosion brought up the sky-high smoke and dust, and flew up to the sand and dust pillar in the sky, like a winding black dragon rushing to the sky.
The debris engulfed by the explosion flew in all directions.
The eldest prince and the others, who had not run far, were directly swept to the ground by the shock wave.
Many of the soldiers who were running behind were pierced into blood gourds by the flying shrapnel.
Due to the proximity of the eldest prince and the others, their internal organs were displaced, and they fell to the ground with a mouthful of blood.
"All ships obey orders and shoot freely!"
Just now, he left the big ship before the rocket was launched, and Zhu Zhangui, who was on a small boat, gave the order to open fire.
The reason why he ran so far was because the rocket thing was so unstable.
The devil knows if the thing exploded on the spot before it flew out, or if it was successfully launched.
In order to prevent being killed by his own weapon, Zhu Zhangui changed to another ship before Master Zhang lit the fire.
The artillerymen, who had been waiting for a long time, heard the order to open fire, and with all their might, they pushed the artillery to the firing position.
The gunners quickly revised the angle, picked up the torches and lit the fuse.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Hundreds of cannons, frantic output against the docks.
A ball of iron, driven by the explosion of gunpowder, bombarded the pier like a meteorite.
The monarchs and ministers of the Saidid Dynasty who pretended to greet them on the dock were so bombarded by the dense artillery that they cried and cried for their mothers.
The lucky ones were smashed into meat sauce on the spot, and the unlucky ones were holding the severed limbs and wailing in the shelling.
Shelling was turned on the sea.
On the shore a few miles away, Zhang Fu, who had detoured behind the army of the Saidid Dynasty, held a telescope and looked at the other side of the army in panic and turned around, preparing to meet the Saiyid army, and gave the order to attack.
"Brothers, the reward, land, women, and titles are just around the corner, whether you can get them or not, it all depends on your own ability, kill me with me!"
"Kill..."
5,000 cavalrymen of the 3,000 battalion, led by a man with a tiger's back, shouted and charged the enemy.
This man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, surnamed Qian, is the thousand households in Ningbo Mansion.
Because of Zhu Zhangui's contribution to the extermination of the Japanese invaders, he was transferred to the 3000 battalion and became a 1000 general.
When the 3,000 battalion was selecting the personnel to accompany the emperor to the sea, this guy found the selection official and told the other party about his relationship with Zhu Zhangui.
After stuffing a little more money, the selection officer reported him.
The old man also had an impression of this guy with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thinking that this expedition was to cooperate with Zhu Zhangui to fight, and this guy was also Zhu Zhangui's person, and it was convenient to follow the action and command.
So this guy became the head of the cavalry of the 3,000-battalion expeditionary corps.
Later, when the whole army was integrated, because of this guy's relationship with Zhu Zhangui, coupled with his strength and command ability, Zhang Fu designated him as the commander of the cavalry corps of the Ming Expeditionary Army.
"Kill."
"Money, women, land, titles, I'm here!"
The cavalry, led by Commander Qian, let out an excited roar.
This strange roar is inherited by their predecessors.
The 3,000 battalions were originally composed of Mongols, so some Mongol traditions were preserved during the battle.
For example, when charging, it makes a strange howl to deter the enemy and demoralize the enemy, causing chaos in the enemy's panic.
Although it sounds ridiculous, the roar of thousands of people, coupled with the galloping sound of horses' hooves, some poorly trained and undetermined troops may not be able to withstand it.
The army of the Sayyid dynasty, although it also came out of the war, was harassed by Turkic descendants in their north.
In the face of the Turkic descendants in the north, the Asan men were almost invincible.
Every time he was defeated, he was frantically slashed by the other party.
Moreover, the Turkic descendants also like to make strange noises when charging, so the army of the Sayyid dynasty has a huge shadow in their hearts about this ghost crying wolf howl.
In addition, they temporarily changed formations, and the front was not formed, and under the pressure of the strange screams of the Ming army, their spirits were tense to the extreme, and there was a possibility of breaking and collapsing at any time.
"Steady, steady, pikemen in front, archers behind, shieldbearers fucking faster. Soldiers, they are very weak, they just scare you with their voices, don't be afraid of them, all for me to steady, block the enemy and reward you. ”
Commander Ah San, who rushed over, saw that his soldiers had the intention of retreating, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to swing a knife and cut a few cowards.
But as soon as the knife was raised, he was worried that killing people would cause panic among the soldiers, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and stabilize the army's heart loudly.
"Oh Roar Roar Roar Roar ......"
Commander Qian, riding a big-fisted horse and holding an oversized flintlock pistol in his hand, was the first to rush within range.
"Taste the big guy!"
With a loud voice and an angry roar, Commander Qian raised the double-barreled large flintlock pistol in his hand and aimed at the Ah San soldiers who were holding spears in a panic not far away, ready to block them.
"Boom..."
Two cannon-like sounds rang out.
The projectile, larger than a thumb, blinked like lightning under the impetus of gunpowder kinetic energy.
At the front of the line, two pikemen in armor were pierced by huge bullets, one with his neck broken and the other with his head shot.
After the bullet penetrated the two men, the power remained undiminished.
The two unlucky ones standing behind the two pikemen, one of them had a large blood hole in his chest, and the other was directly shattered by a half-pulled shoulder.
"Ahh
Screams rang out.
Seeing the Ah San soldier with such a weapon for the first time, he was instantly stunned in place, stupid.
The enemy raised his hand, smoked twice, and four people fell here.
Could it be that the enemies on the other side are all reincarnated demons, and they will not succeed in evil laws?
But before Ah San's soldiers could figure it out, the other cavalry who followed behind Commander Qian also entered the firing range.
Raising the two flintlock pistols that had been drawn a long time ago, the cavalrymen let out a strange cry in their mouths, and pulled the trigger with a hideous expression at the somewhat panicked Ah San soldiers on the opposite side.
"Bang bang bang..."
Bursts of gunpowder smoke rose, and projectiles, wrapped in powerful kinetic energy, penetrated a body.
In order to facilitate the use of the cavalry, the craftsman battalion listened to the suggestions of many cavalrymen and improved the cavalryman's flintlock pistol.
The original single barrel became a double barrel, and the triggers of the gun were also set for two.
This way the soldier can shoot twice, and there is no need to fight one for the other.
Each soldier is equipped with two, and when launching a charge, the soldier can fire 4 shots.
This improvement allows the cavalry to strike multiple blows at the enemy when they charge.
First, you can increase the number of kills, and second, you can quickly break the enemy's line.
Of course, they also thought about installing three, four, or even six pipes.
But after it was produced, after experiments and calculations, it was found that it was still the most suitable for cavalry with a double tube.
Three-barreled or multi-barreled, although it can increase the number of shots, is not very useful for cavalry.
According to their calculations, soldiers with fast hands can shoot 5 times, and the vast majority of soldiers can shoot 3~4 times is already the limit.
So a flintlock pistol with two guns and two barrels is the most suitable.
"Bang bang bang..."
Hundreds of flintlock pistols fired two volleys, and in the ranks of Ah San's pikemen, a bloody storm was set off, and a large area fell.
The shield soldiers, who had not yet arrived, could only watch as the pikemen lined up and were torn apart by the opposing cavalry.
"Kill!"
Qian Commander with a long-handled Guan knife in his hand, and the Guan knife was wielded by him like a wheel.
Bursts of sword light flickered, and countless Ah San soldiers were cracked in half, and their stumps and heads flew all over the sky.
To be honest, it was really a waste for this guy to be a local garrison in the past.
The height and weight of the Qian commander with a Daguan knife in his hand, such as the ten thousand enemy generals in the Three Kingdoms period.
Under his opening path, the cavalry followed him all the way on a rampage, heading straight for the location of Ah Sanshuaiqi.
"What a brave general!"
Zhang Fu, who commanded the entire legion, saw the rampaging cavalry team in the telescope and couldn't help but admire.
"Attention of all legions, the cavalry has opened the enemy's defensive line, and the second legion of the first infantry corps has launched an attack and completely crushed the enemy's defensive line!"
"First Legion received!"
"The Second Legion has attacked!"
The intercom was heard the report of the two corps commanders.
Looking at the gadgets in his hand, Zhang Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
With this thing, commanding a war is incredibly easy.
Then skimming the telescope hanging around his neck, Zhang Fu couldn't help but sympathize with the future enemy.
Thousands of miles of sound and clairvoyance, these two things are simply like a tiger with wings for the army.
With these two things, the combat effectiveness of the army can be at least invisibly increased by several percent.
"The enemy is defeated, the enemy is defeated!"
Suddenly there was a shout of excitement ahead.
The telescope in Zhang Fu's hand jumped and looked in the direction where the voice came.
I saw that the cavalry corps that rushed into the enemy formation, under the leadership of Commander Qian, directly chased the enemy's handsome banner.
The command of the Chinese army was defeated and fled, and the soldiers of Ah San, who were originally unstable, collapsed in an instant after losing their command.
Zhang Fu would let go of this opportunity, and raised the walkie-talkie to tune to the full channel.
"The rear army, the left flank does not move, and the right flank of the Chinese army is fully attacking!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The horn of the charge sounded, and the Chinese army and the right flank, which were slowly advancing in formation, let out a roar that shook the sky after receiving the order to charge.
The soldiers shouted to kill, followed by the squad leader to form an assault team, and began to charge.
Beating the Reservoir Dogs is a favorite of any legion.
Of course, if the other party is cheating, then who is happy is not necessarily.
But obviously, Ah San is not a fraud, they really collapsed.
First he was stabbed in the butt, and then he was broken by the enemy's cavalry, and the commander was killed and ran around, and the command was directly confused.
In this case, not to mention the Asan army, the army of the Ming Dynasty encountered this situation, and it also collapsed.
"His Royal Highness Taisun, Zhang Fu reported that the enemy's main army has been broken by the minister, and it is now in pursuit."
"Your Royal Highness Taisun, Jianghuai reports that our side has defeated the enemy's ambush corps on the right flank, and the enemy is in the process of being defeated and fleeing!"
"His Royal Highness Taisun, Zhang Feng reported (Fifth Army Battalion) that the enemy's left flank ambush corps has been surrounded by our side, and the enemy has chosen to surrender all of them when there is no hope of escaping many times!"
Zhu Zhangui, who was sitting on a small boat listening to the rumbling artillery and was fishing comfortably, slowly took over the walkie-talkie handed over by Hu Yu.
"I'm Zhu Zhangui, here on behalf of the Ming royal family, I would like to thank the generals of the whole army for everything that Daming has paid, Daming is proud of you!"
"Daming Wansheng!"
A loud response from several people rang out over the intercom.
"Now I command!"
Several people holding walkie-talkies subconsciously stood up straight.
Zhu Zhangui looked at the coast that was still being shelled, and said with a serious expression: "I order all legions to launch an attack on the Sayyid Dynasty and the Ganges Plain area according to the plan, and all those who resist will be killed." ”
"Yes!"
The fourteenth day of the first month of the 14th year of Yongle.
The Ming Expeditionary Corps and the army of the Said Dynasty fought for less than an hour before it was completely over.
The mighty Ming legion, like a galloping tank group, crushed all the enemies who resisted.
In this battle, the Sayyid dynasty army suffered heavy losses.
Of the nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses that were transferred, more than 40,000 were killed on the spot.
The Syed magnates at the dock were directly smashed into meat sauce by the artillery of the Ming Navy, and they didn't even catch a whole corpse.
The Sayyid dynasty, which had lost the king's ministers, was like a young girl who had no clothes and was naked.
In the face of the siege of Da Ming, a powerful giant, there is no choice but to lie down and give up resistance.
On the twentieth day of the first month, Zhang Fu led the main army to push all the way, took the royal capital of Said, and planted the military flag of the Ming Dynasty on the city wall.
Jianghuai, which was responsible for attacking from the left flank, went all the way north along the Qinab River, and the various cities defended by only a few troops had no ability to resist at all, and most of them chose to surrender.
A small number of stubborn resisters were slaughtered directly after the city was broken to deter other resisters.
Zhang Feng, who launched an attack from the right flank, first led the right flank army to take Gujirat, and after a simple repair, went straight to the Ganges Great Plain.
The reason why the right flank launched an attack on the Ganges Great Plain was because Zhang Fu's main army had to go north to withstand the attack of the northern Turkic descendants.
Those guys in the north are not good birds, and they who are bent on taking the territory of the Three Kingdoms will definitely take advantage of the opportunity of the civil strife in the Three Kingdoms.
In order to prevent his own territory from being destroyed in the future, Zhu Zhangui's plan was to use the left and right flanks to occupy the territory, and the main army would go directly north to confront the Turkic descendants.
The two parties must not be able to live in peace, Zhu Zhangui fell in love with their rich oil fields, and those guys fell in love with the Ganges Plain in Ah San.
Both sides want each other's things, and neither wants to give them to the other, so the only option is to fight.
The rapid collapse of the Sayyid dynasty made the small states under his command not react for a while.
The Saeed dynasty mobilized troops and horses to fight a force, and they knew about it.
In their minds, the war of 100,000 people will definitely not end without a year or two.
But they didn't expect that the Syed Dynasty was so useless, and they didn't ask for a day, and they let the enemy collapse.
Nima, what a stupid person to command, to be able to fight like this bird.
Even if 100,000 pigs are put there and let the Ming people catch them, they won't be able to catch them in a day.
The sudden collapse of the Sayyid dynasty caused them to be unprepared, and they were stabbed in by the giant man of the Ming Dynasty.
In just two months, half of the Ganges Great Plain was taken by the Ming army.
Just when the major governors of the Ganges Great Plains saw that the day of destruction was coming, the Ming army suddenly stopped attacking.
This made the major governors who were ready to accept death a little puzzled, the Ming army attacked so hard, and almost no city could stop it along the way.
The huge land was about to be taken down, why did the attack suddenly stop.
Could it be that the northern side is coming, so that they have to stop the attack and prepare to fight the northerners.
Under these governors, the Three Kingdoms faced the Ming army with almost no resistance.
I am afraid that only the same fierce northerners can stop this fierce chariot.
Actually, these people think too much.
Those Turkic descendants in the north, seeing the chaos of the three kingdoms, wanted to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but they collided with Zhang Fu in Multan.
Then he was pressed to the ground by Zhang Fu and beaten fatly, and returned to his territory in embarrassment.
The Three Kingdoms of Afghanistan were not fully occupied, and Zhu Zhangui was worried that he would be held up if he ate too much, so he gave Zhang Fu the task of resisting the attack of the Turkic descendants in the north, and did not let him continue to attack and expand the war.
Zhu Zhangui plans to swallow and digest Ah Sanguo thoroughly, and then clean up the mongrels in the north.
The reason why the attacking corps on the right flank stopped was not because they had encountered a strong enemy, or because the logistics could not keep up, but because they were not strong enough.
The main purpose of the Ming Dynasty was to occupy the Three Kingdoms, so every city and area under the attack had to be garrisoned and defended.
1000 for a place and 2000 for a city.
After this division of east and west, Zhang Feng's original army of 30,000 people was less than 10,000 at this time.
Zhang Feng, who was seriously understaffed by his troops, was worried that the occupied area would be counterattacked again, so he immediately reported the situation to Zhu Zhangui.
Zhu Zhangui had a headache and ordered him to temporarily stop the offensive and wait for the follow-up reinforcements to arrive before executing the next battle plan.
"How many people can the Northern Army withdraw!"
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Zhu Zhangui pinched his eyebrows, and asked Yang Pu who assisted him a little tiredly.
Since the beginning of the war, he has hardly rested, and has been busy with logistics and scheduling.
Yang Pu looked at the notebook in his hand and shook his head.
"I can't pull it!"
"Those Turkic descendants in the north have amassed 200,000 troops on the border, and the legions under the British duke have to guard against them."
Putting down the notebook, Yang Pu sighed helplessly.
"There are only more than 70,000 people under the command of the British, and it is already difficult for them to hold back the Turkic descendants in the north, and if we draw troops from them, I am afraid that the north will be in trouble."
After talking about the situation of the major legions, Yang Pu suggested to Zhu Zhangui.
"Your Highness, it is really difficult for more than 100,000 people to take such a large territory as the Three Kingdoms. The minister suggested that he write to His Majesty and let the court increase the troops! ”
