Chapter 258: A Last Battle
Four more in a row, 1 more to arrive!
"General, the amount of silver spent on this warship is quite huge, right?" Lin Yao asked.
"Of course, this ship was made of silver. One of them cost us thirty thousand taels of silver. Tang Chun said.
Suddenly, there was another smack sound.
"Alas, it's so expensive that an ordinary barracks can't afford it. Lin Yao shook his head.
On June 1st, everything was underway.
Fei Hongscarf quietly sneaked to Daozi County with her men, and the sailor in charge of Bao Yi quietly advanced to the upper reaches of the Dongxing River in the dark night. Go forward at night and find a place to rest during the day.
At 10 o'clock in the morning of June 3, Tang Chun's main army and Gongman's army lined up at the junction of Daozi County and Taigu County. Gongman brought 18,000 soldiers over, while Tang Chun's soldiers and horses were only 10,000. In terms of scale, it is significantly weaker than Gongman.
"Tang Chun, today is the place where you are buried. Gongman stood on a huge chariot with a smug face and shouted. And several innate masters surrounded him.
"Hahaha, Gongman, you just said the opposite. Today, Mapo is the place where your entire army has been destroyed. I want Huolan Kingdom to always remember that the territory of my Dayu Dynasty is not allowed to be invaded by anyone. Kill!" Tang Chun shouted angrily.
Woowoo......
Knock knock knock......
The trumpets sounded in unison, and the first row of archers of the two armies were all exposed, and fierce arrows came to the opposing team for a while. Tang Chun told the sergeants that the main thing was to block, so the shields were very big and thick.
When he felt that the arrows on both sides were almost shot, Gongman gave an order. Nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses roared and rushed over, and suddenly, a storm swept up the sky. The weeds in the ground flew into the air, and suddenly, the yellow sand covered the sky.
The strange thing is that Tang Chun's soldiers and horses all did not move in place. This is not advisable for the two sides to fight. Because, as soon as this rush comes up, we must pay attention to a momentum, and secondly, the momentum will come up as soon as this momentum comes up. You're still in place, and that momentum is gone.
Seeing that Gongman's army had entered the range of the red-coated cannons, Tang Chun gave an order and waved his bannerman.
Thundered......
Dozens of red-clothed cannons rang out in unison, and suddenly, the earth and stones flew into the sky. Artillery bombarded in turns. The angry gunpowder exploded.
Suddenly. In Gongman's army, there was a river of blood, and there were stumps, broken arms, and even bloody human heads flying everywhere in the air.
This wave of artillery attacks was so fierce that it killed nearly half of Gongman's military land at once.
"Kill!" Tang Chun's momentum came up, and the banner was raised. 10,000 sergeants rushed down the mountain and killed the tigers. Gongman's army was already in disarray at this moment. And a few shells landed accurately on Gong Man's side, and suddenly, the three innate Great Perfection powerhouses were blown into blood.
Gongman took a look. Several innate masters protected him and retreated. However, the cold knife flashed in front of Gong Man, and with a bang, Gong Man's head hovered unwillingly and flew into the air.
"Gongman has been killed...... Tang Chun shouted, and suddenly, the sergeants roared together and their momentum increased, and Gongman's army found that Gongman's head was fluttering in the air and had not fallen for a long time, so it was naturally a ghost caused by the cold knife. After a few more sizzles, the innate masters around Gong Man, who had already fled to a hundred meters away in fright, were killed by the cold knife again. The army was killing all the way through, and the corpses were all over the field, and the blood was flowing like a river.
pursued all the way, and the flying red scarf led the soldiers and horses to break through the county town of Daozi. The people of the city spontaneously organized thousands of people to rush out and cut off the back route of the Gongman deserting army. However, Bao Yi took Mei Tieyan, Liang Douzi and others to fight against the army that came from Huolan Kingdom to reinforce on the East Star River.
The artillery led by the fat man had already arrived on the bank of the Dongxing River, and when he saw someone coming over there, he blew it up. Arrows soared from the surface of the river, reaching hundreds of meters high. The East Star River was boiling, the river was blood-colored, and there were corpses floating in the entire river.
Tang Chun's main force chased all the way to the bank of the Dongxing River, and the artillery on this side came to support again, aiming at the Huolan National Army on the opposite bank for a while. However, I didn't expect that there were also Qi Gang Realm powerhouses coming to reinforce on the side of Huolan Country.
Fought with the cold knife in the air. And about half of the warship was destroyed, but fortunately, Bao Yi still withstood their fierce attack. It's all thanks to the power of this red-coated cannon.
However, Huolan Country did not have a half-qi Gang realm master like Fei Hongscarf. And Tang Chun's side is a congenital Great Perfection powerhouse, as well as good beans and compasses. plus Tang Chunmei Tieyan, the two congenital masters. That is to form a joint force to cross the river all the way to kill the general.
Moreover, it directly broke through the county seat of Huolan Guotong County. I don't know where the cold knife and the opponent fought.
After the battle, Tang Chun withdrew his troops and did not occupy the county seat of Tongxian. After all, the battle line is too long, once the army of Huolan Kingdom counterattacks, the consequences are unimaginable. What to do now is to hold Daozi County and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the court. Therefore, the East Galaxy defense line is very important.
Tang Chun arranged all the red-coated cannons along the Dongxing River, and organized the people of Daozi County to invest in the construction of river defense fortifications. Here, the good news spread to Fuzhou, the Shuntian Palace, and the court.
"This Tang Chun is very talented in commanding. Fang Ling sighed.
"Well, this son will be extraordinary. King Shun said.
"He actually solved the matter that the generals of the second and third grades in Nanban Province could not solve, and he actually solved it in a few months. I heard that he created something called the Red Cannon, which is so powerful that even the innate strong can shoot to death. The little prince Luo He said.
"Immediately send someone to take the flying eagle down to find out the real situation, if the situation is true, this red-clothed cannon asks Tang Chun to make some for our Fuzhou City. This cannon is an excellent weapon to protect Fuzhou. King Shun said.
"If that's the case, you can order some from Tang Chun in private, our mine needs this. Fang Ling said.
"Well, you can arrange for someone to handle it immediately. King Shun said, "Immediately sent an order to the General Military Mansion and the Admiral's Mansion of the Naval Division, asking them to hurry up and send reinforcements to reinforce Daozi County. If the Huolan Kingdom suffers such a major blow, it will definitely fight back with all its might. Tang Chun now has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, which is very dangerous. Since Daozi County has taken it back, it can't let the Huolan thieves take it back. Otherwise, how dare my Dayu Dynasty say that he will fight in all directions?"
"Father, Tang Chunfei's carving letter asks us to give more gunpowder and steel raw materials. It is said that the redcoat cannon needs these. The little prince said.
"Heyi, prepare a batch immediately, and also, prepare some grain and grass. You personally led the troops to escort them to Daozi County. King Shun said.
"Go in person, just send something to tell me to go, isn't it ......" Luo Heyi was a little reluctant.
"You don't understand, from this battle, I can see that Tang Chun will be extraordinary in the future. His bet with the three princesses will be won. His exploits in this battle alone are too impressive.
I believe that Emperor Yu will soon have a heavy reward. You must know that the battle on the battlefield of Junshan did not go well. The soldiers and horses of the Great Qin Dynasty were fierce. And our country is at war with three countries at the same time, and the strength of the army is also stretched.
Emperor Yu most wanted a proud victory to boost his morale. And Tang Chun just collided. Another point, don't our mines need cannons?
By the way, bring some medium-grade and high-grade Yuan Stones, it is estimated that Tang Chun's army also needs these. King Shuncheon said, "Ha Yi, you are the successor of the Shuncheon King's Mansion.
For the sake of the father, soon this throne will pass to you. If you don't have a powerful general to support you, it's hard for you to gain a foothold, and Tang Chun is one of the right-hand men you need to earn.
At this moment, when the army of Huolan Kingdom was about to counterattack, it was also Tang Chun's most difficult time. You have to take the opportunity. It's hard to get a job. ”
"The boy understood. Luo Heyi said.
In just three days, the 50,000 troops of the Huolan Kingdom came over. Tang Chun personally led his soldiers to defend the line of the East Star River. Despite the suppression of the red-coated cannons, there were too many enemy men and horses, and they continued to impact Tang Chun's defense line, and the shells were almost exhausted. And only a third of the iron-hulled warships remained. Moreover, an iron ship without shells is a dead thing.
Moreover, Huolan Country made up its mind this time. The Qigang Realm master fought against the Cold Knife, and there were actually half-Qi Gang Realm masters over there who fought against the Flying Red Scarf, and there were more than a dozen innate powerhouses who attacked in the meantime.
Seeing his men fall down in blood in front of him one by one, Tang Chun was extremely angry. The declaration letter urging the troops continued to be transmitted to the Nanban General Military Office.
General Yang and the general of the southwest both said that they were sending people, but according to the subordinates stationed in Fuzhou who were making fireworks, there was a news from the flying eagle. There was no movement in Fuzhou at all. However, the Shuntian Wangfu sent a team of 2,000 soldiers and horses, under the leadership of the little prince, with a large amount of grain, grass and gunpowder, and just set off.
It's just that Fuzhou is too far away from Daozi County, and the horse-drawn carts carrying grain and grass are slow, so it is estimated that there will be no month before they can walk. Tang Chun held on for half a month, almost to the point of running out of ammunition and food. And the original more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are now about 5,000 left, and among them, the disabled soldiers account for about 20%.
Another powerful attack came, and Tang Chun personally led his troops to rush to the front line. In the battle with the Huolan army on the East Star River, Tang Chun was covered in blood.
"Will ...... Military ......" Suddenly, a tearing shout came, Tang Chun felt that he was slammed by something and fell dozens of meters away, and found in the afterglow that Jiang Weiwei was pierced by a copper-colored spear. A few hundred meters away from her, a grim old man was smiling.
"Wei Wei ......" Tang Chun's eyes were red with blood, and he jumped back, and picked up Jiang Weiwei, who was spurting blood.
"Good beans, take them back and save people. Tang Chun shouted hoarsely, and Liang Douzi hugged Jiang Weiwei's shadow and walked away.
"Dog thief!" Tang Chun rose into the air and shouted, "Listen to my sons and daughters of the Tang Family, dying on the battlefield today cannot weaken the prestige of my Dayu Dynasty." General Yang, General Cao, the two thieves, actually ignored me, and the Tang family army refused to help. Brothers of generals and soldiers, the time has come to serve the court and Emperor Yu, rush and rush, kill and kill!" (To be continued......)
