Come to Daming with military supplies

Zhu Qizhen saw through Liu De's careful thinking, but he didn't intend to point it out.Yang Chendong's growth is also what he doesn't want to see. Since Liu De's attitude and goal are consistent with his own, why not do it smoothly.

After thinking it through, Zhu Qizhen nodded, "What Liu Aiqing said is very true, that's the case, I will send Jin Yiwei to Jianning Mansion to invite that man named Yang Yang to the capital. After the matter is completed, I will That is to say, they will issue a decree to Duke Zhongdan. Jiaozhi is also one of the vassal states of my Ming Dynasty, and it is one of the non-conquest states ordered by the Taizu. That is, they are willing to go to the title of Annan and return to the embrace of my Ming Dynasty. A benevolent heart should be accepted with courtesy.”

Zhu Qizhen finally made up his mind, and while Liu De breathed a sigh of relief, he did have a new worry, that is, after this matter is done, once word spreads, the other party will hate him to the bone.Unless Yang Chendong is going to be suppressed by Da Ming in the future, otherwise, once the momentum rises, it may be his unlucky time.

As for whether the news would be spread out, shortly after Liu De had just walked out of the palace, Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch in charge, spread the news in Zhu Qizhen's gesture.As a result, just after Liu De returned to Fudi, the people below told him the news that just came out of the palace, which made him almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

His face was very ugly, and he looked towards the direction of the palace. Liu De couldn't help scolding in his heart, "Your Majesty, even if you cross the river and demolish the bridge, you won't be as fast as you. It seems that in the future, there will be him and no Yang Chendong, and there will be Yang Chendong or not." him."

In the city of Nanjing, the discussion on how to deal with cochin is still slowly being discussed, and related matters are also progressing slowly.In front of the city of Hanoi, the capital of Cochin, the war was already on the verge of breaking out.

The banners fluttered, the war drums thundered, the dark army was placed under the city, and the aura of murder swept between the heaven and the earth, so that the courageous people could not help but feel a trembling feeling in their thighs.

At the moment of dawn, in front of the east gate of Hanoi City, the two armies spread out on this vast land.

There are more than a dozen phalanxes of [-] Cochin soldiers waiting in full formation.

The square formation, the flag flying high, standing horizontally in the square formation, is even more magnificent and majestic.

On the other side, [-] mercenaries in camouflage uniforms lined up in double rows in a long snake formation. Advanced muskets and steel knives were displayed one after another, showing a murderous aura.

The difference is that the mercenaries didn't put up any flags, which is what Yang Chendong meant.Before confirming his status, he didn't intend to let these mercenaries under him raise the red flag.

It was precisely because there were no flags flying that the nearly [-] mercenaries seemed to lie dormant there like a big green snake from a distance, seemingly moving but still, making people dare not feel any underestimation.

Only in terms of numbers, the Cochin Army is more majestic, not to mention that twenty large catapults have long been erected behind the army formation.This car can throw nearly a hundred catties of boulders in the air, and the furthest range can reach a distance of more than 500 meters. It can be called the cold weapon with the longest strike at that time.

Behind them is a catapult that can attack from a distance, and at the front of the team there is a phalanx of iron shields with a thousand people, which can block the opponent's musket shots.With sufficient preparations, the general Ruan Gengwang who led the army was confident.

The battle horn had sounded, and Ruan Gengwang did not give the order to attack immediately, but turned his head to look at the Hanoi city tower. When he saw Prince Li Yuanlong and others standing on it and looking down, he felt the whole body The blood is flowing fast.Excited, he pulled out the saber from his waist, pointed forward vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Go forward!"

"Enter!"

The square formation of thousands of iron shields at the front quickly changed its formation, transforming from the original square grid into a horizontal line, and soon formed a giant dragon, walking at the forefront of the formation.

Ordinary shields are made of wood on the inside and iron on the outside. In the cold weapon era, they can defend against bows and arrows, but they cannot defend against bullets.A pure iron shield can defend against long-range bullets, but it has serious disadvantages.Even if it is lifted for a short time, it will consume a lot of strength, and it is bound to be very inflexible and difficult to follow the march.

It's just that Ruan Gengwang knows these shortcomings and advantages, but Ruan Gengwang has to rely on them.He didn't point to using these iron shields to attack at first, he only needed them to protect the soldiers under him to keep moving forward, and when he reached the range where he could start to attack, he didn't believe it, the [-] troops immediately pressed up, and the opponent's How many people can a musket kill?

Under Ruan Gengwang's order, a thousand iron shields were in front and slowly moved forward, while the other nearly [-] Cochin soldiers were all hiding behind them, and several phalanxes merged into one and slowly moved forward.

"Go in! Go in! Go in!"

Every time the army took a step forward, there was an earth-shattering shout, which was quite powerful and gave people a sense of shock.

"Damn, it looks like this is an elite soldier." Tiance, the company commander who had already received the first attack mission, couldn't help snorting when he saw the enemy three miles away began to slowly advance towards him.

It is a pride to be a cold front.Being able to be one of the company commanders is the pride of pride, and it is difficult for anyone to put him in his eyes.Now the Cochin army on the opposite side is approaching head-on as if entering no man's land. In Tiance's eyes, this was originally a kind of provocation.

If it wasn't for the distance, which was 1000 meters away, I'm afraid the Ninety-Five Forms in his hand would have taught the other party how to behave.

The Cochin Army is still advancing, and the slogan "Jin" has been uttered non-stop, and gradually reached a peak, like a volcano that can erupt at any time, and it will explode when it reaches a certain temperature come.

In contrast, the cold fronts of the seven battalions stood still and did not move, like a boulder fixed on the ground, unaffected by the wind and rain outside.

"Haha, did you see that? The opponent is scared." Seeing that his camp had moved 500 meters forward, and the mercenaries still hadn't moved at all, Ruan Gengwang, who was riding on a horse, laughed loudly. In his opinion, this was The opponent has nothing to do, so he has to stay still.

On the Hanoi city tower behind him, Prince Li Yuanlong stared at everything in front of him intently. Although the team had gone farther and farther away, it was already difficult to see clearly, but the scene of the mercenary not moving was still clearly visible.

Seeing that his side was moving forward, but the other party did not move at all, he couldn't help but asked the general beside him: "Generals, what do you think the mercenary is doing?"

Standing next to Li Yuanlong is Fan Yuhai, known as the famous Cochin general.Compared with the smiling faces of other generals, his expression was a bit dignified. When he heard the prince ask, he said naturally: "The other party is clearly stopping with silence. To be honest, This kind of stability is something our military cannot achieve.”

Just after Fan Yuhai's words fell, another general, Li Shaozhong, couldn't help but said, "Why should General Fan boost up other people's aspirations and destroy his own prestige? It's clear that the mercenaries were frightened by our army's advancing formation. How dare you act recklessly."

Li Shaozhong is a member of the Li family, and now the Li family is very powerful in the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and even his status as a general has risen with the tide.

Li Shaozhong's words were heard by Fan Yuhai, but he didn't make any distinctions.The generals on the battlefield are not like those civil servants, who pay more attention to the verbal battle against the Confucian scholars, they value the result more.Before the result appears, who is right and who is wrong is unknown.

Prince Li Yuanlong also did not speak, but stared at everything in front of him with great interest. He wanted to take a look. Facing the Cochin soldiers whose strength was several times larger than theirs, this was called a mercenary with astonishing combat power. how to respond.

In front of the battlefield, the distance between the two sides is still rapidly shortening.From the earliest three-mile land to less than 700 meters today, even so, the sound of the word "Jin" is still high in the air, and the momentum of the Jiaozhi Army's advancement is getting stronger and stronger.

"All the grenades are ready, the iron shield of the fart. After a while, the company commander will let them know what it means to shoot a stone at their own feet." Facing the approaching enemy, Tiance did not show a trace of fear. , On the contrary, he issued an unquestionable military order to the soldiers below.Then he took off the ninety-five style hanging on his body, and then started aiming in a standing posture, ready to shoot.

Chapters 5 and [-] The Power of Modern Firearms

Battalion Commander Kong Quanxin was in the middle of the team. Seeing the [-] Cochin Army getting closer, his expression remained the same. Even if he looked closely, he could still see a trace of disapproval in his eyes.

It wasn't that Kong was careless, but that Yang Chendong had talked to him before coming here, and he also talked about the iron shield being built in Hanoi city.

This is the credit of the Security Bureau. After being injected with a large amount of gold and silver, the rapid development of the Security Bureau has already penetrated into the countries that are false enemies.Once there is any disturbance, the news will be spread as soon as possible, so that the main force of the mercenary army can make the most correct judgment.

As a latecomer, no one knows the importance of intelligence better than him.

It has long been said in later generations that the victory of a war depends first on the source of military intelligence.Some people even exaggeratedly said that seven points of intelligence and three points of battle.This shows the importance of military intelligence to an army.

It was because of the preparation in advance that Yang Chendong told the story of the iron carts that the Jiaozhi army was building the iron shield when Kong Quanxin was about to lead the army out.Not only that, he also gave a countermeasure.

The advantage of iron shields is that they are hard, and their appearance can indeed effectively block the shooting of flying bullets.

It's just that its shortcomings are more obvious.For example, slow action, for example, not flexible enough.Now that there are these shortcomings, it is very easy to deal with it. It only needs a burst of grenades to be thrown up, and it will form the momentum of the goddess scattering flowers. The fragments under it are not enough to see any iron shield.

As for the iron car?Hehe, whether it's a bazooka or a four-point fire, it's all within reach.

Think about it on the battlefields of later generations, even the movable tanks are afraid of the attack of the rocket launcher, let alone the clumsy iron carts that only rely on their legs to move now.

He got the news first, which made Kong Quanxin not show the slightest panic when he saw the iron shield approaching step by step.To say that what he is worried about now is whether Tiance can hold his ground.After all, the throwing distance of the grenade is always limited, and whether the mercenaries in front can withstand the pressure of the Cochin Army, and whether to shoot at the most appropriate time has become the top priority in this first battle.

Tiance is the company commander, and he is the most valued subordinate of Battalion Commander Kong Quanxin. With the continuous expansion of the mercenary team, more and more regimental and battalion-level mid-level cadres are needed. This is what Yang Chendong has always advocated. things.And under what circumstances can it be seen whether a person's military talent can be entrusted with important tasks?

Undoubtedly, war is the best battlefield and method to test a commander.

Kong Quanxin deliberately wanted to test the talent of Company Commander Tiance, so he never said a word from the beginning to the end, but just watched all this from the perspective of a bystander.Of course, if Tiance is really useless, the second, third and fourth company commanders who have been waiting on the sidelines can be replaced at any time.

This was also Kong Quanxin's preparation behind Tiance's back.I believe that even if Company Commander Tiance found out about these things afterwards, he would not feel any dissatisfaction. After all, the situation on the battlefield is always changing, and the most incompetent commander is the one who does not have backup.

How did the observed Company Commander Tiance know this? After instructing a company's subordinates and a battalion of auxiliary soldiers assigned to him to take out the grenade and get ready, he held the [-]th Form and moved towards the Jiaozhi in front of him. The soldier fired a shot at the target.

"Bah!"

The gunshot was very light and crisp, and the bullet flew straight out of the barrel, and hit the shield of a Cochin soldier as Tiance imagined.Under the sound of iron impact, there was a lighter and crisper collision sound.

When the gunshot rang out, Ruan Gengwang, who was riding on the horse, stared wide-eyed, with an unnatural expression on his face.Although the crown prince said that these iron shields are made of pure iron, they should be impenetrable with muskets, but after all, no experiments have been done, and he still lacks confidence in his heart.

So much so that after the gunshot, his whole nerves tensed up.All this happened until the bullet hit the iron shield and produced a trace of sparks, and then there was nothing to say. He was greatly relieved, then smiled and pointed to the front and said to all his subordinates, "Did you see that? The opponent's musket has no effect on us."

"Hahaha." All the subordinates also laughed in agreement.They were indeed a little nervous before, although they took the initiative to launch an offensive, their morale was amazing.But before he met the musket, he really had no bottom in his heart.Well now, the facts allow them to let go of their high-hanging hearts.
