I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 653: Battle of Border Town
"The mighty cannons of the Tang Dynasty are so powerful that the Delhi Sultanate cannot stop them. Once their spirit is worn down, it will be time for the Tang Dynasty to strike back."

After listening to Li Daozon's analysis of the interests involved, Hou Junji nodded in agreement.

He is just warlike, but not stupid. Naturally, he would not object to saving the bloodshed and sacrifice of the soldiers he led personally.

"There are now 300,000 Tang soldiers in Myanmar. 200,000 will be deployed to the border cities, and the remaining 100,000 will stay to control the key points of Myanmar. With 200,000 Tang soldiers and 500,000 surrendered soldiers, the advantage in this battle belongs to Tang."

"We will firmly occupy the border cities and turn them into meat grinders, striving to consume the vitality of the Delhi Sultan!"

"As it should be."

"Then please ask the general to draft a memorial and send it to Peking as quickly as possible to report to the emperor." Hou Junji said finally.

The two of them talked back and forth, and the tone of war against the Delhi Sultanate was set.

Li Daozon also wrote a memorial to the emperor about the approaching army of the Delhi Sultanate, which was instigated by the Kingdom of John, and his response plan. He sent it to Li Zheng, who was far away in Peking, at an urgent speed of 800 miles.

Although Li Dao Zong believed that Li Zheng would not interfere too much with his decision, he still had to fulfill his duties as a subject. Especially in a war involving millions of people, Li Dao Zong could not afford to be careless.

As time passed, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The border between Delhi Sultanate and Myanmar.

On the border of Myanmar, there are three important towns that can accommodate a population of about 500,000.

Because it was considered that there would be a war sooner or later with the Delhi Sultanate under John's colonization.

After the Tang Dynasty took over Myanmar, the three former military towns were transformed into three solid fortresses through expansion by Tang generals such as Li Daozon and Hou Junji.

Behind him was an army of 800,000 strong from the Delhi Sultanate.

The camps of the 800,000-strong army were lined up and down, and along the long border, soldiers and tents of the Delhi Sultanate were everywhere in sight.

The originally indestructible border town in the front was like a lone boat drifting on the sea under the pressure of the 800,000-strong army, and could be overturned by the waves at any time.

"Governor, it seems that the Tang general is afraid of my 800,000 troops and plans to defend to the death." McDonald said to Davis with a smile.

"Humph, this Tang general is quite sensible. My 800,000 soldiers can drown him with just a spit from each soldier."

Li Daozon's refusal to leave made Davis feel that the Tang Dynasty was afraid. I wonder how Li Daozon would feel if he knew what Davis was thinking.

After Davis finished mocking Li Dao Zong, he waved to McDonald behind him. McDonald immediately understood and waved back.

I saw a native soldier of John's country, pushing John's country's artillery, appearing behind Davis.

Davis never allowed the soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate to control the strategic weapon of artillery. They were all operated by John's direct subordinates.

These more than a thousand homemade cannons look majestic and powerful just by looking at their appearance.

Davis looked at the cannons behind him with satisfaction. These cannons were all made by craftsmen from the Kingdom of John and transported across the ocean to the Delhi Sultanate with great difficulty.

"This cannon is the latest firearm of our John Country. It is incomparable to those backward things of Tang Country. It is ridiculous for Tang Country to think that it can stop our John Country with just a small city."

Davis also saw the artillery on the opposite border town, but Davis did not take it seriously at all.

What he didn't know was that it wasn't the traditional and backward artillery he imagined, but a more advanced life-threatening weapon than John's, both in terms of range and sustained combat capability. "Come on, attack! Let's see how many rounds of artillery fire this Tang can withstand."

As soon as Davis finished speaking, the soldiers of John's country who were operating the artillery behind him also took action.

One by one, the soldiers of John's country pushed their artillery towards the border town with great effort, so as to deal a fatal blow to Tang country once they were within the firing range.

"It's almost there, almost there." On the city wall, Li Daozon was silently calculating in his mind.

When the last artillery piece of John's country entered the range of the Shenwu cannon, Li Daozong shouted hysterically: "Fire, and kill these barbarians."

Davis on the opposite side also had a bad feeling in his heart at this time.

Then he saw with horror that the powerful cannons on the opposite Tang Kingdom city wall emitted terrifying flames and almost instantly fell into a sea of ​​fire.

"Come back quickly! Quick, retreat!!"

After the first round of the Shenwu artillery ended, Davis hurriedly shouted at the John Country artillery position in the distance.

"Boom! Boom!"

With bursts of artillery fire, the soldiers of John's country finally retreated under ten salvos of fire from the Shenwu cannon.

Davis took a quick look and saw that only less than half of the original thousand artillery pieces had escaped.

This is because there are not many powerful cannons on the Tang Dynasty city walls, otherwise they would not have withdrawn so easily.

Davis looked at the Tang State artillery on the opposite city wall with a gloomy face. He would never have expected that the Tang State would have more advanced firearms than the John State. This cast a shadow over his heart.

In contrast to Davis, cheers from the Tang Dynasty soldiers and the surrendered Burmese troops were heard from the city wall.

"The Delhi Sultanate on the opposite side doesn't seem that scary?!" This was the voice of the surrendered Burmese troops.

"Asshole, asshole. Pass my order, attack the border town of Tang Kingdom!"

This time they learned their lesson and did not gather together, but rushed towards the border town in a scattered manner. However, they were only scattered, but in the eyes of the Tang soldiers on the city wall, they could still see densely packed enemies.

Of course, the soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate were in the front, but what relieved the soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate was that the terrifying cannons on the Tang Kingdom’s city wall did not sound.

"It seems that artillery is not without its shortcomings." Davis thought to himself.

As the first batch of Delhi Sultan's soldiers approached the city wall, the war between the two sides officially entered a white-hot stage.

As time passed, so did the lives of soldiers on both sides.

Huge ladders slowly approached the border town, followed by the soldiers of the Delhi Sultan.

Looking down from the sky over the battlefield, it looked like a line of poisonous snakes were winding towards the city wall.

As time passed, the soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate showed great resilience and both sides paid a huge price. On the city wall, Li Daozon looked at the battlefield below with an expressionless face.

The entire battlefield was littered with broken arms and blood because of the huge number of combatants on both sides, and the entire border town wall was dyed red.
