Chapter 128: Setbacks I

In this war, Chai Tiannuo did not act like before, put himself in the Chinese military tent, and He Zudao and other generals, watching the sand table deduce the direction of the war.

In the first two days, he led the charge, which was to have great confidence in the left and right prison guards, and the imperial court, which had failed continuously, also needed a hearty victory to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people.

Now that the affairs of the provincial government have been settled, and the millions of achievements are there, the most important thing to do is to use a lot of battles to temper the left and right prison guards to make them a truly invincible and strong army!

"Tom tom!"

It was still three cannon shots as an order, followed by hundreds of artillery pieces being fired one after another, and every three solid shells were fired one after another, and the three-zhang-high city wall of Linjiang City was crumbling.

Large pieces of stone continued to fall off, revealing the rammed earth inside, and were constantly collapsing by artillery shells, and the city wall of more than ten zhang long burst and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Heavenly Dao priest in the city shouted loudly, beckoning the mob at the head of the city to fight back.

However, there are only ten old-fashioned artillery pieces at the head of the city, and the firing range is short and the power is small, and it is impossible to reach the baggage battalion outside Lixu, even the more than 20 bed crossbows are one or two hundred meters away.

A quarter of an hour later, the city wall collapsed, He Zudao beat his hands excitedly, turned around and just wanted to personally lead the team to charge, but was stopped by Chai Tiannuo:

"Brother Zudao, don't worry, wait and talk."

Wait, wait a minute, and the walls will be blocked!

He Zudao looked at it from afar, countless mobs in armor carried sandbags and boulders, and rushed to the gap without their lives, even if they were bombarded, they had to fill the gap!

"What is the war for, it is the people!"

Chai Tiannuo looked at the corpses that were blown up by artillery fire and flew everywhere, and laughed softly:

"You see, in just a few dozen zhang of territory, at least thousands of people have gathered, and even if the sons and daughters are fierce, there will be deaths and injuries if they collide with them."

"The baggage battalion is well stocked, and the enemy's vital force is reduced by artillery fire, and this transaction is sure to make a profit!"

Seeing that several Heavenly Dao priests had just opened the protection, they were shattered by the continuous artillery fire and the explosion of the people with barriers, Chai Tiannuo chuckled and said:

"The truth is only within the range of cannons, if there are no high-level martial artists and qi refiners, this world will definitely be dominated by artillery!"

He Zudao did not move around, and a few Lang generals stared into the distance, and the Heavenly Dao priesthood and the mob followed one after another, collapsing and blocking, and in a short period of time, thousands of people died in that small gap.

The mixture of flesh and blood dyed it a faint pink, and it looked really frightening.

He Zudao couldn't help but shudder, it was just a mixture of bamboo charcoal, nitrate, sulfur and steel, it was really not worth a few dollars, but it could smash the martial arts masters who could only be cultivated after decades of hard training, and the input-output ratio was really amazing!

「…… What is the meaning of the decades of diligence of our warriors?"

Zhou Buyi said with some frustration, even if he was already a grandmaster, he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything in the face of such a terrifying artillery fire.

"There must be more than one line."

Chai Tiannuo compared with his hand, and said with a serious expression:

"Firearms will become more and more powerful, and crossing this line will greatly reduce the threat of firearms and oneself, and below this line, it will be dangerous!"

After that, Chai Tiannuo gave another order, draw fifty artillery, and target Xiao Qing's war equipment at the head of the city, Xiao Qing finished, raised the muzzle, and fired indiscriminately in the city!

In another half an hour, the city wall in front collapsed hundreds of meters, and it could not be repaired at all, tens of thousands of mutilated corpses were scattered all over the land, and there were few buildings left near the city wall.

The originally fierce and brave mob and the Heavenly Dao priesthood gave up resistance and fled into the distance in panic.

The entire army was silent, never thinking that the artillery that had been used to assist in battle would be so powerful when used in groups!

"Nearly a hundred feet, continue to shoot derivatively, and disperse the large crowd of mobs in the city."

Chai Tiannuo said in a calm tone, and everyone looked at him with admiration, worthy of being a saint of soldiers, and his use of war equipment was beyond imagination.

After a quarter of an hour had passed, the commander of the baggage battalion stepped forward and reported:

"General, the barrels of thirty-three guns are deformed and damaged

If we continue to fight, I am afraid that the damage rate will increase significantly."

"How much ammo do you have?"

"Forty percent of the shells remained, and less than thirty percent of the gunpowder was consumed."

Chai Tiannuo nodded with satisfaction, the most he carried on this expedition was artillery, and he didn't bring a bed crossbow.

In today's battle, the effect is really beyond imagination!

"The first to the fifth mansion on the left, the two mansions on the left and Weiwei enter the city to clear the city, and the sixth to sixteenth mansions on the left go around to the south gate of Linjiang to block it."

"The guards of the right prison gate are divided into two ways, entering the city from the east and west gates, and those who kneel on the ground will not be killed, and those who resist will not be killed!"

"Whoa!"

The army entered the city in a huge way, and the enemy numbered more than 500,000, but they were defeated by the previous attack, and the Heavenly Dao priesthood had already fled when they saw that they could not do anything.

The mob that lost its command was in a mess, and was quickly defeated under the attack of the soldiers, and when they fled to the south gate, they were attacked by more than 30,000 government soldiers, suffering heavy casualties, and finally fell to the ground crying and surrendered, and the faith in their hearts was shattered!

On the next fifteenth, 100,000 troops fought and were invincible!

The daily battle reports were all great victories, countless bandits were killed, countless prisoners were captured, and in the end, the Tianqi Emperor was exhausted.

Seeing the battle report, he was no longer excited, but just added some numbers to the board, and then smiled and said to the ministers:

"It's amazing, our Chai Invincible has won twenty-three consecutive victories, nearly four million enemy prisoners have been annihilated, and countless mobs have fled from the Cangtian Dao camp, this record, I'm afraid the world is invincible, right?"

"Your Majesty, after such a continuous battle, I don't know how the casualties of Lord Chai's left and right prison guards were?"

An official asked with a solemn face, the results of the four million battles are amazing, but the casualties are bound to be heavy, in this world, there is never a deal that only makes money and does not lose money!

"One thousand one hundred and sixty-three, two hundred and seventy-seven disabled, and as for the wounded, there are none."

Speaking of this, the Emperor of Tianqi also sighed, this battle loss ratio is simply the same, Chai Tiannuo really refined an unprecedented strong army for Dahua!

"How could it not?"

The official was stunned, and Li Chenglan interjected with the side:

"There's no way, that guy has an afterlife, and he won't be injured at all in one bite!"

Emperor Tianqi smiled and nodded:

"But this guy complained in the war report, and his inventory was gone, and he wanted to make up for it with two silver pairs."

"Do you want to make up for him?"

Li Chenglan raised his eyebrows, and the Emperor of Tianqi nodded vigorously:

"Subsidies, big subsidies, but not silver."

"What's that?"

"Lone's second daughter, if he wants, he doesn't have to get married, Lone let Ping'er enter his Chai family as a wife."

「…… Your Majesty, with the temperament of the Chai boy, I'm afraid you won't agree, right?"

Li Chenglan pursed his lips, and the eyes of the Tianqi Emperor narrowed into a slit with a smile:

"Then he can't complain about being lonely, but he doesn't want it, and it's not that he doesn't have it."

「…… The woman cheats the old fox!"

Li Chenglan muttered quietly.

"What did you say?"

The eyes of the Emperor of Tianqi were round, how could it be the realm of Lu Immortals, no matter how small the voice was, he could distinguish one from the other.

"The minister said that Your Majesty is Shengming, Wen Taowu is difficult to find in the world, and he is a real holy lord!"

"Old horseman, this is pretty much the same!"
