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

Chapter 654: John's Navy Attacks Tang

Because the Tang soldiers had martial arts skills, and the main force in this offensive and defensive battle was actually the surrendered Burmese troops, the losses on the Tang side were negligible.

Only when a section of the city wall was about to collapse would the Tang soldiers take action to ease the situation.

The two sides fought from day to dusk. Finally, with the roar of the Tang Dynasty's mighty cannon, the soldiers of the Delhi Sultan retreated like a tide.

Davis, who gave the order to retreat, had a gloomy face.

The roar of the Shenwu Cannon broke Davis' psychological defense again, but the real reason why Davis retreated was the local soldiers of the Delhi Sultan who were about to blow up the camp.

……

Peking City.

In the Taiji Hall, Zhao Ming was reporting to Li Zheng about the war on the Myanmar border.

It is worth mentioning that the steam locomotive technology in the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more mature, and the transmission of military intelligence is also faster.

Li Zheng listened to Zhao Ming's report, but he was not too worried about the war in Myanmar. With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it was no problem to deal with the Delhi Sultan.

He had already granted Li Daozon full authority to command the war in Myanmar, so naturally he would not add any unnecessary complications to the war.

He was quite satisfied with Li Daozon's defensive tactics. A mature general naturally knew how to minimize the losses of his side.

Just then, the Minister of War Zheng Xuan asked for a meeting.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the South China Sea that nearly a thousand unidentified warships have been discovered." Li Zheng heard the report, and his eyes sparkled: "Here it comes, is this John's backup plan?"

When Li Zheng heard that the navy of John's country appeared in the South China Sea, he was not surprised, but felt that it was as it should be.

In the previous life, the Kingdom of John was the most powerful colonial empire in the world at that point in time. At its most powerful, it was known as the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets and it conquered almost half of the earth.

Although the current John Kingdom has not yet reached the peak of its previous life, its strength should not be underestimated.

The Queen of John is quite strategic. If she had just sent troops to attack Myanmar, that would have been a little lacking.

Today, all Western countries have become colonies of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has a geographical advantage and is far stronger than John's country in terms of navy.

It is worth mentioning that the current Tang Dynasty navy is very powerful. After conquering Western countries, the Tang Dynasty navy has already been stationed in various important maritime locations.

The Tang Dynasty is well-rested and ready to fight on its home ground. This is the right time.

If John chooses to attack the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty directly, the Tang Dynasty navy can also outflank it from the flank and attack it by surprise. On the contrary, the Tang Dynasty also has sufficient strategic depth, which is the geographical advantage.

After learning the lesson from the last time the divine beast came to power, Li Zheng attached great importance to the development of the navy and would respond to all requests from the navy. This is harmony among people.

With the right time, right place and right people, Li Zheng couldn't imagine how the Tang navy could lose.

Nowadays, excluding troop transports, the Tang Dynasty has seven super-giant ships that can be called Tang Dynasty aircraft carriers. Each of them is equipped with 300 powerful cannons, and the body is made of cast steel.

With these seven giant ships alone, the Tang Dynasty was already strong enough to dominate the ocean, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty navy also had thousands of small warships, assault ships and other warships.

It is called a small warship, but it is only compared to the seven giant ships. In terms of tonnage alone, it is not weaker than the fleet of John's country.

With Li Zheng's unreserved support, the Tang Dynasty navy has become the undisputed number one navy in the world in this era!

Little John Guozhen would not make Li Zheng have any other emotions.

"Mr. Zheng, have Li Kan send someone to keep a close eye on the John Kingdom fleet. If they make any unusual movements, have Li Kan make the decision and report any military intelligence in a timely manner."

"Yes, Your Majesty, our Tang navy is strong, and the news can only be good news." Zheng Xuan said confidently. Li Zheng couldn't help but sighed when he heard it, "But the Ministry of Industry has not yet developed the radio technology."

Zheng Xuan at the side could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, is this radio really as magical as you say?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng turned around and looked at Zheng Xuan, thinking about how to explain to Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan realized he had misunderstood when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

What he meant was that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was originally his fault.

"Zheng Qing, I don't mean to blame you. I'm just thinking about how to explain this radio technology to you."

Zheng Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and heard Li Zheng continue, "As long as this radio is successfully researched, you and I, the king and the minister, can talk freely regardless of space and time, thousands of miles away."

Zheng Xuan was first shocked that the radio that Li Zheng mentioned was so magical, but soon he realized how much benefit this radio technology would bring to the Tang Dynasty and to the war.

Even if there are steam locomotives in the hall today, it usually takes five or six days or even longer to transmit military information. If this radio can really transmit messages across thousands of miles, then its significance will be great.

A little more time for communication and deployment means that the Tang Dynasty will firmly seize the initiative in future wars, which is equivalent to being invincible.

"Your Majesty, if this radio is truly successfully researched, it will undoubtedly become another magical tool of our Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, it is much more convenient to have a radio."

"Don't worry. Now that we have electricity, the Radio Engineering Department is researching day and night. I believe that in the near future, our Tang Dynasty will have a telegraph."

"Uh, Your Majesty, what is this telegraph machine?"

Li Zheng: …

"It's the radio. Zheng Qing, go down and remember to report any news from John Country in a timely manner."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuan bowed respectfully and retreated awkwardly.

……

The South China Sea of ​​the Tang Dynasty.

More than a thousand warships of John's country rushed towards the mainland of the Tang Dynasty.

Nearly a thousand warships stretched out in an endless stream, almost covering the entire sea level. Just looking at the momentum, the Kingdom of John deserved to be called the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets in the previous life.

Charles, the naval commander of John's country, was standing on a warship in the middle of the fleet, looking at the Tang Dynasty coastline that was getting closer and closer.

"Now the Sultan Governor-General Davis stationed in Delhi should also launch an attack on the Tang Kingdom. The territory of the Tang Kingdom will definitely become empty. When my country John uses artillery to blast open the gate of this corrupt empire, everything in the Tang Kingdom will belong to me!"

Charles was in a good mood, enjoying the sea breeze, and had already started to dream of conquering the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, there were quite a few soldiers of the John Country who had this mentality. Ten thousand of those yellow people from the East, who were so brave at the beginning, fled in all directions under the roar of the John Country's artillery.

They believed that this Eastern empire would be no different from previous countries.

In this way, the arrogant Charles and his soldiers advanced towards the Tang mainland, towards the victory that they believed was within their grasp.

On the other side, Li Kan was standing on an isolated island, looking at the intelligence about John Country sent to him by his subordinates.
