Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 79 There is no bought superpower.

"Baby, you should understand now why we would rather commit suicide than let the monster come to reality if there is a risk of failure when facing a monster."

On a jeep, Lao Zhu looked at the desolate surroundings and sighed.

Zhu Houzhao nodded to express his understanding.

After arriving in Yingchuan District, where the rat plague was most serious, Zhu Houzhao completely understood what it meant to have no roosters crowing for thousands of miles and bones to be exposed in the wild.

Village after village and city after city were empty without a sound.

There were traces of blood and chaos everywhere.

Not only people and animals, but also the food grown and the trees on the roadside were all eaten clean.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, as far as the eye can see, there is nothing but dirt and bones, and not even a hint of green can be seen.

Seeing such a scene, Zhu Houzhao felt chilled in his heart.

Although he was extremely unlucky in his previous life, he still had enough food and clothing in a peaceful world.

When he came to Ming Dynasty, as the only prince, it was even more impossible for him to go to these places.

As a result, Zhu Houzhao's impression of natural disasters was still limited to the records in books and movies.

Now I see with my own eyes that Zhu Houzhao, who has always been optimistic, has no other expression on his face.

"Report, survivors and a large number of rats were found in Wuyang City."

A messenger on horseback quickly ran over and reported the news from the front to the two of them.

"Understood, order the first battalion to prepare for battle."

Zhu Houzhao originally left all combat command to the armored division commander, thinking that professional matters should be left to professional people.

But he was severely criticized by Lao Zhu.

In Lao Zhu’s words, it’s still a small-scale battle, and it’s time for you to learn.

In the future, we will enter larger battlefields. If the commander dies in battle, won’t the army stop commanding?
Even if you win the battle in the later stage, are you sure that the newly transferred commander can command the troops well?
As a monarch, you don't have to command the army to fight, but you can't understand it or even have no experience at all.

Under Lao Zhu's strictness, in this battle, the three legions will be commanded by Zhu Houzhao. Lao Zhu and many generals will help adjust and guide as auxiliary staff.

"Wait a moment!"

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's order, Lao Zhu stopped the messenger who was about to leave and looked at Zhu Houzhao seriously.

"This is urban street fighting. The city gate is so narrow. Are you sure your tank can drive in? Even if it does, in a narrow environment and facing enemies from all directions, how many casualties are you going to pay?"

"As a commander, you can't use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. You have to give full play to your own advantages."

"Compassion does not govern the army, and righteousness does not govern the country. Although a king must be kind, he must not be kind like a woman."

"For the sake of a few people who don't know whether they can survive, letting your soldiers risk their lives to save them is a command like a stupid pig."

Lao Zhu usually behaves like a kind elder when facing younger people, and strives to be a kind elder.

But once the war started, he was not polite to anyone.

Zhu Houzhao made a mistake in his command. He was merciless and scolded him bloody.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and pondered, and said to the waiting messenger: "Order: the artillery regiment spreads out its position, and the rocket launcher regiment spreads out and is on standby."

"Order Lan Yu to lead a battalion of 5000 armored troops to the east city gate to set up defenses."

"Order Zhu Di and Li Wenzhong to each lead a battalion of 5000 troops and armor to go to the south gate and north gate."

"Order………"

Zhu Houzhao kept uttering orders one after another. The messengers standing by would ride their horses to notify the designated person after receiving an order.

Lao Zhu, who was sitting next to him, nodded slightly with satisfaction and spoke out from time to time to put forward his own suggestions for revision.

After the order was conveyed, Lao Zhu said to Zhu Houzhao, who was holding a telescope and looking at the city in the distance: "There is no way in a war without death and casualties. We are not gods and cannot save everyone. All we can do is let More people survive."

Zhu Houzhao nodded silently as he looked at the city wall.

The order was conveyed quickly, and the army in marching state was quickly deployed.

The artillery selected a good position, deployed the artillery regiment, and prepared to fire.

The rocket launcher raised its launcher and aimed at the lonely city in the distance.

Lan Yu, Zhu Di, and Li Wenzhong, with their assigned troops, were stationed outside the three city gates, ready to attack or prevent the rats from escaping.

"Your Majesty's order, the artillery regiment opens fire!"

A messenger came on horseback to convey Zhu Houzhao's order. "Attention, all guns, the target is 1300 meters, high-explosive bombs, fire!"

The commander of the artillery regiment, who was used to personally commanding every battle, raised his hand to the ordering soldier, and waved the small red flag in the other hand without hesitation.

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery sprayed out flames, and the 105 high-explosive grenades roared towards the city, blowing up the thatched houses and rats into the sky.

"Bazooka regiment, let go!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

As the artillery bombardment began, the remaining rocket artillery regiment deployed on the other side also began to fire salvos.

Rockets flew out one after another, dragging thick tail flames, and joined the battle that destroyed this small town.

"Gudong!" Xu Da, who was standing on a tank and watching with a telescope, couldn't help but swallowed as he looked at the small city that was being destroyed by madness.

He was not scared, but greedy.

"Damn, these are all good things. If we had this equipment, we wouldn't have to die so many brothers in the war."

"Yes, they are all good things. It's a pity that they are not ours. But after a while, we may have them."

Tang He on the side agreed, and then he couldn't help but grinned when he thought of the relationship between the two and Lao Zhu's intention to ask Zhu Houzhao to help purchase weapons.

Xu Da also agreed with this point.

It might be a little troublesome for other emperors to buy weapons from Zhu Houzhao, and they also had to figure out how to use them themselves.

But they are different, they are one family.

Although there are many generations between the two, Lao Zhu treats Zhu Houzhao exactly the same as he treats Zhu Yingxiong, his biological grandson.

In order to cultivate Zhu Houzhao's commanding ability, Lao Zhu even handed over his troops to Zhu Houzhao as a whetstone.

The entire Hongwu Dynasty's generals, including Zhu Yuanzhang, were doing their best to teach Zhu Houzhao how to fight and how to fight.

Based on these relationships, it was not a problem at all to ask Zhu Houzhao to help buy some weapons.

"It's good, but those ammunition are too expensive. My father wants to equip some artillery first. It's still a bit difficult to equip the entire legion like Hou Zhao."

Zhu Biao, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two and gave them some insights.

Xu Da glanced at Zhu Biao, who responded with an affirmative look and sighed softly.

Lao Zhu just told him that he wanted Zhu Houzhao to help buy some equipment, but the amount has not yet been determined.

In the past few days, he has been holding on to the commander of the armored division, asking about the configuration of the army, its combat style, and the status of ammunition replenishment and equipment.

In his mind, Ming Dynasty also wanted to build such an armored corps, so that no one in the world could stop Ming Dynasty's troops.

Unfortunately, Lao Zhu didn't expect to buy so many, which completely shattered his dream of an armored corps.

In fact, he didn't know that Lao Zhu also wanted to build an armored corps, but after learning about the consumption of the armored corps from Zhu Houzhao's mouth, he gave up the idea.

Damn it, a half-finished armored corps only consumed 30 million luck points.

Later monthly maintenance, as well as ammunition and oil supplies, cost tens of thousands.

Lao Zhu thought that with his meager income, let alone buying an armored corps, even if Zhu Houzhao gave him this armored corps, he couldn't afford it.

It's a pity that Lao Zhu didn't know that not only he couldn't afford it, but Zhu Houzhao had also reached his limit.

He is currently helping people upgrade their arms and support the consumption of an armored division. Therefore, the maximum limit is to expand the army unless there is a large amount of income or changes are sought.

Zhu Houzhao has no idea for the time being to expand his income.

We can only think of ways to change.

Zhu Houzhao planned in his heart to purchase various production machinery from the mall, and in the military promotion process, he would be promoted to maintenance soldiers and mechanical engineers to form his own production base.

He has a Ming world and a primitive world. A large amount of resources are placed there. If they are not exploited, it will be a complete waste.

As long as the production base is built and can produce its own weapons, ammunition and various oils, the army can gradually get rid of its dependence on the Imperial Mall.

There is a saying that goes well, no technological power is built by buying it. If it does not develop and manufacture its own technology, it will always be a puppet in the hands of others.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to develop and expand the size of his army.

Self-development and self-production are the necessary steps and the only way.
