I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 406 The first duel of World War is over!
"Blow the horn!"

Seeing the soldiers of the Western Alliance being massacred by the Ming Dynasty chariot, Aumurad's eyes were tearing apart.

These are the elite of the West.

Occupying an excellent defensive position, all kinds of defensive measures are complete, but just like this, when facing the Ming Army, they still have no resistance at all.

Following the order of Omurad, a trumpeter next to him raised his horn and blew vigorously with his cheeks.

"woo woo woo woo…"

The desolate sound of the horn lingered throughout the entire battlefield.

"Strange, are they crazy? How to blow the horn of attack."

Zhu Gaosui, who was commanding the chariot legion to fight outside, did not enter the forest.

Hearing the faint sound of the horn, his brows furrowed slightly.

As Da Ming's next most important enemy, Da Ming also focused on collecting intelligence from the West.

For example, the opponent's semaphore and horn commands are compulsory subjects for the generals of the Ming Army.

So Zhu Gaosui just listened to one ear, and he judged what order the other party was blowing the horn.

Through the observation hole, Zhu Gaosui's heart slowly became vigilant when he saw the Western Alliance soldiers who were killed outside crying and howling, and listening to the faint horn.

"Attention all vehicles, the enemy may have some tricks to form an alternate cover formation."

Zhu Gaosui, who had a very sensitive fighting instinct, immediately issued an urgent order.

"Boom!"

But just as his order was conveyed, and before he received the reply orders from the various teams, a loud bang soared to the sky from the left.

"Head... 033 was destroyed!"

"Boom!"

"Damn it, the head... 010 was destroyed!"

"It's the blasters. They hid people under the potholes, and there are a lot of cold weapons players in armor."

The chaotic voices continued to sound, and reports of various losses continued to come.

In just this short period of time, five chariots were destroyed.

"Damn it, I've been fucked."

After a quick analysis of the situation, Zhu Gaosui cursed in a low voice, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat to the open space ahead, and distance yourself from them!"

"Notify the infantry regiment to retreat too, and eliminate the gang of rats, and don't let them get close to the chariot."

Following Zhu Gaosui's order, the chariot corps quickly retreated under the cover of infantry.

In fact, not only the chariot corps was in trouble, but the infantry corps was also embarrassed.

They rushed into the opponent's position following the chariot.

Seeing that the Ming army entered the position, the gang of birds in the west only resisted a little, and then began to retreat into the forest.

The two consecutive battles were easy victories, and the hearts of the Ming soldiers inevitably drifted.

In order to achieve greater results, the soldiers almost shouted, quickly jumped over the trenches, and launched a pursuit to the enemy.

However, when most of them entered the opponent's position.

In the trench where the enemy was at the beginning, the trench walls were pushed away one by one, and a Western Union soldier in full body armor brandished a sword and slashed frantically.

And those death squads carrying explosive packs rushed towards Daming's chariot desperately.

It's better to have infantry cover on the chariot side.

But the infantry side was a bit confused.

Because the charging team was too dense, the enemy appeared in the team again.

The two parties were directly mixed together.

The rifles used by the National Defense Forces have very strong penetrating power. At this close range, if you shoot directly, it is easy to penetrate the enemy and kill your own people by mistake.

In order to prevent accidental injury, the soldiers could only grit their teeth, pull out their bayonets, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with each other.

If both sides are soldiers with bayonets, whoever loses wins, it all depends on the courage and guts of the soldiers.

One side can be fully armed with all kinds of sharp cold weapons in their hands, while the only attack weapon on the other side is a poor bayonet.

Judgment was made in an instant.

Many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty stabbed the opponent's armor with their bayonets. Apart from pulling out a mark and making the opponent embarrassed, they couldn't hurt the opponent at all.

On the Ming side, in order to reduce the weight of the soldiers so that they could carry more weapons and ammunition, as early as two years ago, the Daming Defense Forces had removed their armor and replaced them with cloth uniforms.

Although this kind of cloth military uniform is strong and durable, it can't stop the chopping of swords.

This chaos alone caused a lot of casualties to Daming.

"Haha, victory, victory..."

The Daming Legion, which was suddenly attacked, retreated in embarrassment.

The Western Union soldiers who returned to their positions shouted excitedly.

It's not easy.

After nearly a day of fighting with Da Ming, they were almost all the ones who were beaten. Even in small-scale battles, they never won.

Unexpectedly, seeing that the second line of defense was about to be lost, there was a big comeback on his side, driving the opponent's powerful steel monster army and the ferocious Daming army out of the position.

The soldiers were cheering, but Omurad kept a cold face.

He knew in his heart that this victory was only temporary.

Such small casualties and small failures are not even a drop in the bucket for Daming, who has millions of legions.

Moreover, they slapped Da Ming in the face in this sneak attack, Da Ming would definitely be very angry, and the next step would definitely be crazy revenge.

"Woooooooo..."

really.

In less than half an hour, Daming's revenge came.

The Daming Artillery, whose artillery position moved forward, once again began to show off its power.

Tens of thousands of cannons, large and small, unleashed shells frantically.

Compared with the first line of defense, the second line of defense, which is slightly worse, can no longer see what it looked like at the beginning.

There were explosions everywhere, dust everywhere.

Even the forest behind the front line wailed in pain under the devastation of the artillery.

The towering trees were interrupted one after another, and the flames of the artillery fire caused a skyrocketing fire.

"Give me a hard bang, damn it, this is the first time I have suffered such a big loss after I have been out fighting for so long."

Zhu Gaosui, who withdrew to the rear of the first line of defense and repaired, looked at the second line of defense covered by artillery fire with a telescope, and cursed a lot.

The Chariot Legion is his lifeblood, and every chariot is more precious than his wife.

But just at that time, 8 chariots were destroyed, and a few others were left there because they were lying on their nests. In order not to be acquired by the enemy, the artillery had to be destroyed first.

This back and forth directly lost more than a dozen chariots.

Nima.

How many chariots does the entire chariot corps have, less than 80.

Nearly 2/8 of his kung fu was lost in this moment, and Zhu Gaosui was so distressed that he trembled.

He is now thinking about how he should explain to his eldest nephew at night.

"Don't think too much about it. In war, there is no guarantee of victory. The enemy is not a wooden pile."

Jiang Huai, who rushed over, looked at Zhu Gaosui who was sitting in the car next to him, with a bitter expression on his face, thinking about how to explain to Zhu Zhangui at night, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, why don't I understand this truth."

"When I fought with the old man, it's not that I never lost a battle."

"But this is different."

"The chariot legion is the lifeblood of my eldest nephew. His trust in me is his trust in me. I hope that I can represent the royal family and lead the soldiers to achieve a good record."

"But me."

"Except for those lying down, I don't have more than 30 movable chariots in my hand now."

"This battle has only been fought for a day, and a chariot army was destroyed by me. How can I explain to my eldest nephew, my elder brother, and the entire royal family?"

The reason why Zhu Gaosui said this is because the Chariot Corps was adapted from the First Corps.

The First Legion is also known as the Royal Guards. This legion can be directly commanded by the emperor without the order of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Defense. It is the guarantee of the future royal family.

This legion, which is so important to the royal family, was ruined by him on the first day of the war. Zhu Gaosui can imagine how angry the eldest brother must be.

Hearing this, Jiang Huai opened his mouth and thought for a long time, not knowing how to persuade him.

Indeed, as Zhu Gaosui said, this legion is too special, and its importance to the royal family is too important.

It was really difficult for him as a general to talk about the internal affairs of the royal family.

"How about this? There is a forest behind their position, and your chariot legion is not easy to advance. You should retreat to the camp to rest and see how many can be repaired."

"The next battle will be handled by our army."

Withdrawing from the battlefield like this, although Zhu Gaosui was a little unwilling, he could also understand what the other party said.

Behind the Second Front of the Western Alliance is a forest, with no roads repaired, and the huge size of the chariot is really difficult to move in it.

"we can only do this."

"I'll leave you with two emergency ones, and I'll take the rest back for repairs. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."

In the end, Zhu Gaosui accepted the other party's suggestion and left two chariots with the best performance for the other party's emergency.

Then he led the remaining chariot corps, and with the help of some engineers, he dragged those lying down back to the camp, and went back to rest.

The shelling lasted for more than half an hour before it slowly stopped.

However, this is not over yet.

After the shelling stopped, the air force, which returned again after loading the bombs, began to bombard the ground wildly in accordance with the guidance of the infantry signal flares.

And this time what they carried was no longer a blockbuster, but the latest incendiary bomb developed by the Artisan Battalion.

One after another, incendiary bombs fell from the sky and slammed into the second position of the Western Alliance, which was full of gunpowder smoke, causing a fire that soared into the sky.

In just a moment, the Western Union's second defensive line, which was plowed by artillery, turned into a sea of ​​​​fire like hell.

The Daming attacking army, which was not far away from the opponent and was on standby, had no choice but to retreat after being roasted by such fierce flames.

"Hey, this is the fun!"

The Daming infantry, who retreated to the first line in embarrassment, couldn't help clicking their tongues when they saw the hell-like sea of ​​flames in the distance.

"Hey, the battle is getting harder and easier now."

A veteran next to him looked at the sea of ​​flames in the distance, took out a cigarette pouch from his waist, and took out some tobacco leaves that had just become popular in Daming in the past two years and stuffed them into the smoke pot. The alliance soldier was on fire, and while swallowing the cloud map, he said to several young soldiers next to him.

"When the emperor and I went to fight the prairie barbarians, our guns were the same as those on the opposite side, and the other main forces still relied on knives and axes."

"At that time, it was really desperate, and it was also a great test for the general's command."

"But now!"

As he spoke, he nodded to the other side.

"Now our Ming's tactics are known to almost ordinary soldiers."

"When encountering the enemy's position, first the artillery bombarded it, then the plane bombed it, and finally the infantry charged to occupy the position."

"To be honest, if you dare to bring up this kind of dull battle in the past, you will definitely be scolded bloody by those generals."

"But now our generals like this tactic, because it doesn't need to use their brains, and it's very easy to fight."

"Hehehe..."

The veteran's words caused a burst of laughter.

Although everyone was laughing, those junior officers and veterans understood very well.

Don't look at the simplicity of this dull three-axe, just look at it and listen to it.

In fact, there are many doorways in it.

The generals must be clear about the timing, the arrangement of the entire battle situation, and the reserve of ammunition in case of ammunition.

This kind of battle that requires complex calculations is even more troublesome than the previous leader's use of knives.

So generally speaking, ordinary soldiers see very simple tactics, but for those high-level generals, they are all door-to-door.

The fire ignited the forest, making it impossible for the Ming Army to attack at all, which forced Jianghuai to abandon the battle plan he had formulated.

The fire burned for a full day and night, and it was not extinguished until a heavy rain on the third day.

This battle of nearly a million scale between the two sides ended with the defeat of the Western Alliance in just three days.

According to the statistics.

A total of 1500 people were killed in the Ming Dynasty, and the number of injuries was relatively large, as high as more than 5000.

The biggest loss is in ammunition.

With the crazy attack that day alone, the two front armies of Da Ming's attack emptied 1/3 of the ammunition in reserve.

When this matter was reported to the imperial court, Xia Yuanji, who was still dragging his old body to his post, scolded his mother directly, lost his temper, and yelled to quit.

Said that he is not strong enough to serve these young and old men.

Damn it's not a war, it's just throwing money at it.

Later, it was Zhu Zhangui who talked and promised to pay half of the consumption in advance, so Xia Yuanji calmed down.

With such a large consumption, the result is naturally brilliant.

According to researched statistics, Daming killed nearly 10 enemies.

As for how many people were buried in the sea of ​​flames and were killed by the bombing, it is not clear.

However, according to reports from informants, fewer than 5000 Western Union soldiers retreated to the next defensive line.

That is to say, only in this duel, of the more than 20 soldiers of the Western Alliance stationed on the first and second lines of defense, only a few thousand returned alive, and the rest were either buried in the flames or disappeared.

The first match between Ming Dynasty and the Western Alliance achieved an epic victory, directly annihilating nearly 1/1 of the Western Alliance's overall effective force.

If this kind of war happens a few more times, it is estimated that the Western Alliance will not have to fight, and they can directly raise the white flag and surrender.

For this war, Daming was very happy, and the court even held a celebration ceremony. Zhu Pangpang even brought his wife to the front line to express condolences to these soldiers on behalf of the royal family and his son.

On the other hand, the Western Alliance was gloomy. It was said that when Omurad returned, several kings almost wanted to fight him.
