Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 203 The powerful Ming Dynasty, the fearful European countries

Adam never thought that he would die so carelessly.

When he thought about it, his death must have been spectacular...

With the loss of blood, he no longer had any strength in his body, and his eyes slowly dimmed. The last thing he saw was that Zhu Di turned around carelessly, as if he had died in front of him, like a dog. …

Then servants came in, dragged Adam's body out, and then cleaned up the ground.

Zhu Di turned around and sat on the throne. After thinking for a moment, he ordered the dispatch of military scouts to be on guard.

The Royal Palace of Sardinia was occupied by Zhu Di, and both the King of Sardinia and his son were dead. The Kingdom of Sardinia had completely disappeared, both in name and in reality.

But the Sardinian army sent out by the old king Modrelli of Sardinia will definitely not just let it go. They will definitely gather an army to attack in an attempt to restore the country!

Although for the powerful Ming army in Zhu Di's hands, the Sardinian army was like a chicken and a dog.

But the Sardinian army does have some repeating muskets at this time, and has a certain long-range strike capability. If everything is prepared in advance, it will naturally be safe, but if it is taken lightly, it may suffer a small loss.

Ma He took the order and left the hall to deliver military orders. After Zhu Di sat alone for a while, he ordered someone to get paper and pen.

The soldiers quickly prepared the paper, ink, pen and inkstone Zhu Di asked for, but when Zhu Di started writing, he hesitated slightly. However, he did not hesitate for too long and started writing, writing down everything that happened in Europe. Then someone was sent back to Daming.

Zhu Di sighed.

After several previous expansions, the Kingdom of Sardinia was no longer too small. Now that the Kingdom of Sardinia was destroyed, Zhu Di, who was in Sardinia, felt that his ambitions, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly started to throb again!

How great would it be if I could establish a country on this land...

As Zhu Di expected, when the Royal Palace of Sardinia was captured and the news of the death of Sardinian King Modrelli and his son spread out, the armies on the border of Sardinia ignored the neighboring countries and immediately turned around and started to go back. Run.

Old Modreli is dead. They have military power in their hands and a large army under their command. If they can regain the royal city, they have hope of becoming the new king!

This was simply impossible when Old Modrelli was still alive, because Old Modrelli would pass the throne to his son.

But things are different now. The royal family is completely dead. As long as they can successfully restore the country, who can say anything in the seat of the king?

However, they also know very well that the Ming army is powerful and the probability of victory is very slim. Even so, facing the temptation of the king's position, they also want to give it a try!

What if it succeeds...

One month after the capture of the Royal Palace of Sardinia, all the troops of the former Sardinian kingdom gathered together in one place with their general.

There are three generals with the highest position, one of whom is the young general Braken who is highly regarded by old Modrelli, and the other two are veterans of the previous dynasty.

Under the three generals, there are more than a dozen lieutenants of various sizes.

The total strength gathered together is more than 500,000, but these more than 500,000 soldiers are green and yellow.

Previously, the Kingdom of Sardinia was jointly invaded by European countries, and the domestic military strength was at least about 200,000. Later, the Ming Dynasty helped the Kingdom of Sardinia stabilize the situation and expand its territory. In order to maximize profits, Old Modrelli recruited troops aggressively. A total of 300,000 soldiers and horses were recruited one after another.

But before these armies could play the role he wanted, old Modrelli was sent to the underworld by Zhu Di in twos and twos.

Then these troops became the bargaining chips of these generals.

To the north of Turin, the royal city of Sardinia, there was an important city called Candelho, where Bracken and two other generals led their troops one after another.

At this moment, all the generals and deputy generals gathered in a camp to discuss how to recapture the royal city.

"These Ming people, I have long seen that they are not good people! They unexpectedly attacked me while I was waiting to defend the enemy. How hateful!" One of the veterans sitting in the center cursed angrily.

Bracken shook his head,

"It's too late to say this now. Whether it's because the Ming people are sinister or our king is unreasonable, it's a fact that the royal city has been occupied. What we should do is to find a way to repel the Ming army and take back Turin!"

Another veteran glanced at Braken,

"The Ming army has guns and cannons, how can we capture them? We haven't seen anyone yet, and the enemy's artillery shells have fallen on our heads. Not to mention recapturing Turin, whether we can get close is a problem."

After the three most powerful generals expressed their opinions, the entire camp fell silent.

Yes, the Ming army is so powerful, how can they take back the royal city?

Even if they take advantage of them, their chances of winning are not high, not to mention how could Zhu Di and Lan Yu not take any precautions?

Braken was still young after all, and he couldn't hold himself back and said:

"Then we can't just do nothing and hand over our country to others. Even if we die, we have to give it a try."

"Try it?" After hearing this, General Mark on his left turned to look at Valero, another veteran.

"General Valero, you have the largest number of veterans before. This time to recapture the royal city, your army should lead the charge."

Valero stared, "Fart! Why don't you say that the total number of troops in my hands is not as good as yours? You want me to lead the charge, do you think I'm a fool?"

"Either go together or don't go at all. This royal city will be given to Ming Dynasty."

Valero is obviously unwilling to suffer this loss. The troops they have now are both bargaining chips and guarantees. Losing troops will make them more passive and weak.

At this moment, a lieutenant standing outside said,

"General, why don't we ask for military assistance from other countries? As long as we are willing to give benefits, I think someone will be willing to send troops."

The three of them rolled their eyes at him, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

If in the past, you used the condition of ceding territory to ask people to send troops to assist, there might still be hope, but facing a powerful opponent like the Ming Dynasty, who would send troops?

When the time came, he didn't eat the mutton, and he even made a fuss. How could anyone be so stupid?

Not to mention inviting aid from other countries, I am afraid that if they are invited, they will immediately switch to the Ming Dynasty and help the Ming army deal with them, so as to improve their favorability in front of Zhu Di.

"This won't work, that won't work either, what should I do?"

Braken didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Since no one wants to suffer a loss, how about sending one hundred thousand troops to serve as the vanguard?"

After hearing this, the other two looked at each other and nodded silently.

But even if the vanguard army is determined, what next?

Their 300,000-strong army was not the Ming Dynasty's 300,000-strong army. The Ming army was gone after just a few cannons.

How to fight specifically?

Everyone thought about it all night, thinking that if they wanted to take back the capital from the powerful Ming army, they could only attack its weak points.

So the final tactic they decided on was to divert the tiger away from the mountain, first send out a hundred thousand vanguard troops, pretend to attack, and then pretend to be defeated and flee, leading away part of the Ming army.

Then the remaining 200,000 vanguard troops were sent to attack again. The Ming army must have thought that this time it was the main force and would definitely send a large army to chase them.

When the Ming army reveals its weaknesses, the remaining 200,000 troops can take advantage of it and sneak in!

This strategy was thought up by the young and flexible Bracken, so the highest command of this battle fell into his hands.

After more than half a month of preparation, the army began to set off towards the royal city in the south...

The news of the murder of the King of Sardinia was soon known to other European countries, and all countries were shocked!

Old Modrelli secretly contacted them and prepared to join forces to resist the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty used a small plan to bring down the entire Kingdom of Sardinia!

Daming's methods are really fierce!

Many countries are beginning to feel insecure. Will the Ming Dynasty follow suit to cause trouble for them next?

How should they respond then?

The Sardinian army retreated from the battlefield. All countries knew that they were preparing to go back and retake the royal city. They were also paying attention to this matter and wanted to see how the Ming Dynasty performed against the Sardinian army that already had continuous muskets. .

If you can really compete with the Ming Dynasty if you have a repeating musket, then... they also have it!

Compared with the chaos outside, Zhu Di, who was at the center of this incident, was extremely quiet. After stationing his army in Turin, he made no other moves. Zhu Di's idea is very simple, wait for the rabbit and wait for the hard work.

Sardinia's hundreds of thousands of troops were no match for the Ming army, so why was he worried? As long as he is not in a hurry, others will be in a hurry.

Moreover, the meager soldiers and generals of Sardinia were not worth Zhu Di's effort in sending troops to kill them.

Just wait, they will come on their own.

Finally, another month and a half later, Zhu Di received news from the scouts.

An army is coming from the north...

Another day.

The scouts reported again that a hundred thousand Sardinian troops were approaching the royal city.

Zhu Di smiled softly and said:

"One hundred thousand? This is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

But in the face of absolute strength, any strategy becomes a joke.

Zhu Di immediately ordered to send troops to fight. Since the other party is coming to the door, let's play with them.

Sardinia's 100,000 vanguard troops rushed within the range of the divine thunder cannon, and the Ming army opened fire without hesitation.

It only took less than twenty artillery shells to disperse an army of 100,000 people, with less than half of them killed or injured.

Then, the 100,000-strong army turned around and fled.

Zhu Di would not let the prey that came to his door run away, so he ordered again and sent 70,000 troops to pursue him.

Half an hour after the first wave of confrontation, the second wave of Sardinian vanguard troops followed closely.

Still waiting for the 200,000 vanguard troops to rush into range, the Ming soldiers lit the fuse of the Divine Thunder Cannon.

"boom!"

Continuous bursts of fire exploded in the camp of Sardinian soldiers, and the entire formation was in chaos in an instant.

However, this time Sardinia's 200,000 vanguard troops seemed to be going crazy and continued to rush forward despite the artillery fire, giving people an aura of breaking the cauldron.

But after losing nearly 100,000 troops, this second wave of vanguard troops finally fled.

Zhu Di once again sent an army of 100,000 troops to pursue him. At this time, there were only 150,000 Ming troops left in the royal city of Sardinia.

After finally attracting the Ming Dynasty's 170,000-strong army, Bracken would not let go of this golden opportunity, and immediately led the remaining 200,000 troops to fight directly towards the King of Sardinia City!

Zhu Di in the city was a little surprised, and it turned out that he had a back-up plan.

But it doesn't matter, the result is the same.

He personally climbed to the top of the city and watched as Braken rushed towards him with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses shouting to kill him.

"Fire!" Zhu Di waved his hand and ordered after the enemy troops entered the range of the Shenwei Thunder Cannon.

"boom!"

……

The artillery shells continued to explode, and the Sardinian army suffered heavy losses in an instant, but they still rushed towards the city without hesitation.

As long as the distance is shortened, the effect of Ming Dynasty's mighty thunder cannon will be greatly reduced!

At the cost of sacrificing 80,000 troops, Bracken finally led his troops to the city and immediately began to attack the city.

Zhu Di did not let the soldiers continue to fire the Thunderbolt Cannon, because the artillery did not have the ability to shoot from top to bottom at a straight angle, and firing downward in this way would also damage the city wall.

The battle to defend the city began. Bracken had no artillery in his hands and it was difficult to cause effective damage in a short period of time. Zhu Di calmly commanded the soldiers to vent their firepower on the enemies under the city.

The soldiers of Sardinia are increasing their casualties every moment. In just a quarter of an hour, more than 20,000 soldiers died. As time goes by, the casualties of Bracken's army will only increase...

Braken, who was under the city, was extremely anxious as he watched the armies around him fall in droves, but the city gate could not be breached for a long time!

If this continues, they will be completely wiped out in two hours at most!

While Braken was anxiously thinking of a solution, the city gate that the soldiers kept banging on slowly opened on its own.

Braken thought for the first time that the city gate had been breached by his own army, and he became very energetic!

But the next moment he saw the city gate opened, revealing the powerful thunder cannon inside!

Braken's mind went blank for an instant!

Then, the artillery was fired, and Braken saw the cannonball flying straight towards him. He wanted to grab it, but it was too late!

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The Sardinian soldiers were really stunned and stunned by the bombing. They had never felt the feeling of facing death at such a close range!

They could only watch helplessly as the cannonballs were fired and then flew right in front of them!

Some soldiers wanted to look back for Bracken, but where could they find it?

General Bracken is dead!

When all the soldiers realized that the general was gone, the breath they had been holding on disappeared in an instant, and they turned around and ran back desperately.

But how could anyone outrun the shells? On their way to escape, they were still being bombarded by artillery fire.

After the remnants of the Sardinian soldiers escaped a certain distance, the artillery on the city came into use again. The army of more than 200,000 was bombarded twice.

When the artillery fire stopped, another 20,000 Ming soldiers poured out from the city gate, chasing the remnants of the fleeing Sardinian soldiers...

Half a month later,

European countries learned the result of the battle between the Sardinian army and the Ming army.

When the Sardinian army used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and led out 150,000 Ming troops twice, the Sardinian army... was completely wiped out!

It was a true annihilation of the entire army, with no one left alive!
