Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 335: Destroy the Harsha Dynasty and occupy India! Persia joins the war

Li Yuanji led a large army to charge out. The coalition forces below, which were already extremely terrified, became even more panicked and terrified when they saw the countless Tang troops charging out.

Li Yuanji had no intention of caring about the fear of these multinational coalition soldiers. He came closer and the Shenwu Army and the musketeers started shooting directly, continuously shooting at the enemy standing in front of them.

The grenadiers also began to throw grenades, which exploded among the enemy troops. The artillery bombardment was still continuing, and the explosions were accompanied by the heart-wrenching screams of the men.

Under successive attacks, Li Yuanji saw that the coalition forces had no will to resist and only knew how to flee, so he immediately ordered the entire army to charge.

The army rushed down directly, chasing and killing the enemy in front of them, and the coalition forces had no power to resist at all.

The ambush lasted for nearly two hours. Most of the time, the soldiers were basically capturing prisoners everywhere. Anyone who resisted was killed. No matter how fast you run, you can't be faster than a bullet.

After the battle, Feng Li and Xue Wanche also came to Li Yuanji's side.

"My lord, not a single man from the enemy's front line escaped!"

"My lord, not a single man from the enemy's rear has escaped!"

Feng Li and Xue Wanche were very excited. They had a great time fighting in this battle. From the beginning to the end, these people had no power to fight back. Especially since there were so many people, every time a shell fell, it could injure some people or kill some.

The two even tried it themselves with a rifle. The feeling was unforgettable for Feng Li and Xue Wanche. Even though they were two or three hundred meters apart, as long as the bullet was fired, they would always hit one person in the dense crowd.

But when the distance is closer, only a few dozen meters, you can just aim and hit whoever you want. There is no need to swing the sword and chop like before. Now, with a bang, the person you are aiming at will be gone.

Compared with the past, they simply like this way of fighting now. They don't have to make contact with the enemy, the enemy will be defeated, and then they just need to rush over and capture prisoners everywhere.

They had not experienced this kind of joy before when they attacked the city, but now they felt it thoroughly in the field battle.

Especially the new rifles brought by Li Yuanji, compared to the previous flintlock rifles, they loved them so much.

In the past, flintlock rifles had to be reloaded after each shot, which not only took time, but was also not smooth at all. It always felt a bit awkward to use, as if it got stuck just when you were about to release it. Then, when you had to reload, the excitement was obviously not as great as it was at the beginning.

Now, he shot three times in a row, changing bullets quickly without any pause. The pleasure of each shot was so intoxicating that they were intoxicated.

Li Yuanji looked at the two excited people and smiled.

"Well, well done! Now that we have defeated these people, we can launch a siege on Qunu City.

As long as we capture Kusumu City, the Harsha Dynasty will be completely destroyed by us!"

Li Yuanji was equally happy. He was not happy like the other two because of the exhilaration and satisfaction, but because he was happy because of the rapid progress in recent days. It would not be long before the final battle against the Harsha Dynasty would take place.

The sooner the war here ends, the sooner he can return and have more time to prepare for the battle with Li Er.

Li Yuanji then looked at Feng Li.

"Feng Li, you lead 60,000 troops to attack those small countries with Liu Rengui. If they dare to form a coalition to attack me, you and Liu Rengui must destroy them all, leaving no one alive!"

He was originally going to use military force against those small countries, and this time he was finally given the reason to do so. Although it doesn't matter if he has no reason, he still has to use it now that he has it.

Feng Li became even more excited when he heard this.

"Don't worry, my king. I will definitely conquer these small countries!"

Feng Li felt no pressure at all in attacking these small countries. Now the main army had been destroyed here, and those people had to guard against Liu Rengui's attack. If he attacked from here, those small countries would have no defense and no military force. He would just be picking up credit and the merit of destroying a country.

Li Yuanji looked at the excited Feng Li, but his eyes were serious.

"You are not only going to conquer various countries, but you must also pay special attention to one thing, which is Persia.

Persia may or may not send troops this time, but if it does, they will definitely come from Sindh, so you must pay special attention.

Once Persia sends troops, there will definitely be a lot of them, probably hundreds of thousands of them. When the time comes, you will join forces with Liu Rengui and you must not let the Persian army come!"

When Feng Li heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, if Persia dares to come, I will make sure he never returns!"

Feng Li did not feel any pressure at all when it came to attacking various countries. If Persia really sent troops, hundreds of thousands of them at that, as long as they were won in such a war, it would be real capital and would be considered the achievement of destroying a country.

Feng Li is very much looking forward to it now. He obviously hasn't had enough fun yet. Plus with Liu Rengui's army, even if Persia really sends hundreds of thousands of people, he is not afraid at all. Instead, he is excited.

Seeing Feng Li so excited and enthusiastic, Li Yuanji didn't say anything else and immediately asked Feng Li to divide his troops first.

Li Yuanji led the army and began to advance towards Qunu City. At the same time, he ordered Xie Shufang and Wei Yunqi's army, and Yuwen Bao's fleet, to approach Qunu City together.

Outside the Qunu City, Li Yuanji's army surrounded the city, leaving no room for King Harsha to escape.

Li Yuanji led his army back and everyone gathered in the big tent.

"My king, when do we start our attack on Qunu City?"

Xie Shufang looked impatient, and it was obvious that he had wanted to fight for a long time, but Li Yuanji had just returned and he had been patient until now.

Li Yuanji looked at the others who also looked expectant and immediately smiled.

He knew why these people were in such a hurry. As long as they captured Qunu City, the Harsha Dynasty would be destroyed. The Harsha Dynasty was obviously not a small country. In the surrounding areas, it could be considered a big country. The merit of destroying a country could obviously be obtained, so no one wanted to wait any longer.

“Since you are all ready, let’s start the siege tomorrow.

Let me be frank with you. Once we start attacking a city, we must capture it in the shortest possible time.

There are 80,000 enemy troops in Qunu City. They will surely resist resolutely. This time, we should use more artillery fire to cover the enemy, and then charge at the end. At the same time, we should be prepared for street fighting!"

"promise!"

Everyone excitedly began to make final preparations, rubbing their hands, hoping to be the first to occupy the palace in the city.

At night, when Li Yuanji was about to go to bed, his personal guards hurried in.

"Your Majesty, General Xi Junmai has urgent news."

Li Yuanji was stunned. Was it the urgent news that Xi Jun bought?

After picking it up and taking a look, Li Yuanji laughed immediately. The content of the military report was very simple. It was that Xi Junmai was preparing to use troops against Kashmir to cooperate with his attack. As a result, Li Er's men arrived in Western Turkestan. Xi Junmai had to stop the attack and guard against Western Turkestan and Li Er's army.

Li Yuanji didn't care whether Xi Junmai's army could send troops to assist or not. It didn't have much impact here. As for the Western Turks, Li Yuanji didn't dare to send troops to them. Now his army was here, and it wasn't far from here to the Western Turks. There was only Kashmir blocking the way. He didn't even need to attack Kashmir. He could lead his army directly into Yangtong and his army would appear in front of the Western Turks.

Now that Li Er sent people to Western Turkestan, Li Yuanji could guess what the purpose was. It was nothing more than to publicize his threat and thus win over Western Turkestan.

If it were in the past, Li Yuanji would be worried, but now, the fighting has become like this, the situation is almost stable, and as long as the Western Turks do not make any mistakes, they will definitely not participate in either side.

Look at the previous war with Tubo, all the surrounding countries that participated in it were destroyed one by one, and either became his fiefdom or became the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

It was because the Western Turks did not invest much at the beginning, only about 30,000 to 50,000 troops, and they withdrew quickly, so he and Li Er did not take action against the Western Turks.

After being frightened like that, how could the Western Turks easily get involved in the war between him and Li Er?

Now, as long as the Western Turks do not cause trouble and behave themselves, neither he nor Li Er will have the time to bother with them.

Any normal person can see this, and he doesn't believe that the people of Western Turkestan can't see it.

After reading it, Li Yuanji immediately wrote a reply to Xi Junmai.

"Send it immediately."

Li Yuanji's reply was also simple, to guard against the Western Turks and continue to use military force against Kashmir.

With Xi Junmai's current military strength, he can completely divide his forces and act accordingly. Even if Xi Junmai's army is not equipped with newly developed rifles and various cannons, even with flintlock rifles, previous cannons and rockets, these equipment are enough to deal with Kashmir's army.

A night passed, and in the early morning, Li Yuanji's army set out in large numbers, leaving the camp and marching towards Qunu City.

On the top of the city wall of Qunu City, the elderly King Harsha watched Li Yuanji's army approaching in a black mass, his heart filled with sadness and grandeur.

He no longer had any hope of defending Qunu City. The Tang army had powerful firepower and firearms that had never been seen before. He had people constantly researching and developing them, but there was no progress at all. He could not develop anything.

Now, he has to live and die with Qunu City. Even if his dynasty has collapsed now, at least his dynasty was once powerful.

At this moment, King Harsha felt very regretful. He wondered why he did not pay attention to Li Yuanji's army, why he went to war with Li Yuanji, and why he sent troops to Tubo.

Now he has no time to regret anything, as his powerful dynasty is about to end.

Li Yuanji looked at Qunu City, which was obviously much larger than other cities, and nodded slightly in his heart. Although Qunu City still could not be compared with the big cities of the Tang Dynasty, let alone Chang'an and Haikang, it was at least larger than the small cities of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at Qunu City now, it looks like a city, not as shabby as before.

"Pass the order, bombard for half an hour, extend the heavy artillery into the city, all artillery fire! Rockets fire simultaneously!"

After receiving Li Yuanji's order, the various artillery positions that had been prepared long ago immediately began shelling. More than 200 artillery pieces of various types and 30 naval guns fired at the same time.

Inside the Qunu City, shells fell and explosions were heard one after another. King Harsha on the top of the city wall watched indifferently and numbly, listening to the screams coming from his ears. The people around him wanted to take him down, but he did not move.

Shells fell one after another, accompanied by rockets taking off, which also began to join in the attack on the city.

Each shell raised a cloud of dust and smoke. Houses collapsed instantly after being hit, and some parts even caught fire.

On the top of the city wall, there was intensive artillery fire. Countless people were injured or killed. Wailing sounds continued to be heard, and the screams became louder and louder.

King Harsha on the top of the city wall was hit by several shells in succession. Standing on the top of the city wall, Li Yuanji and other generals could see it through telescopes.

Li Yuanji had no intention of capturing King Harsha alive. Since the other person wanted to die, he had to fulfill his wish, after all he was a good man.

Half an hour passed and the barrels of some artillery pieces began to heat up. They were forced to stop, cool down with cold water, and then start firing again.

Xie Shufang, Xue Wanche, Wei Yunqi, Wei Shishi and others were all ready to go, waiting for the time to come and rush out immediately.

Even Yuwen Bao brought a part of the navy to launch an attack on Qunu City.

Soon, half an hour passed, and Xie Shufang and others looked at each other intently.

"kill!"

Several people led the army and attacked directly towards Qunu City.

Today, the tops of the Qunu City have been blown down, and the army marched straight into the city, passing through the streets and heading towards the palace.

Some of the Japanese-anti-Japanese troops in the city tried to resist but were wiped out one after another. The rest of the Japanese-anti-Japanese troops had dull eyes and did not put up any resistance, allowing themselves to be captured by the Tang army.

Li Yuanji was waiting quietly outside the city. At this moment, all the cannons had stopped firing and the rest of the people were on full alert.

Half an hour later, a soldier hurried to Li Yuanji.

"Report! Your Majesty, the city of Qunu has also been captured, and General Xie Shufang has occupied King Harsha's palace!"

"OK!"

Li Yuanji was very happy that the Harsha Dynasty was finally destroyed. This land would be his fiefdom from now on, and everything here would belong to the Tang people.

"Enter the city!"

When Li Yuanji entered the city, he had no sympathy for the tragic situation inside the city. This is what war is like, especially foreign wars.

After coming inside, Li Yuanji took a few glances at King Jie Ri’s Palace and lost all interest. It was far inferior to Haikang, and even worse than the imperial city of Chang’an. What was there to see?
"Although the Kingdom of Harsha has been destroyed, there are still many tribes and places that have not been conquered. The army will rest for ten days, and then we will send out troops ten days later to wipe out all the tribes in Harsha!"

Since he was going to destroy it, Li Yuanji had to do a thorough cleanup. He didn't want to leave any hidden dangers.

After ten days of rest, Li Yuanji called Xue Wanche.

"Wan Che, you lead an army of 100,000 to Kashmir immediately. Xi Junmai is currently using his troops against him. Send a detachment of troops to assist Xi Junmai in conquering Kashmir.

And you will lead the army to capture Jalandhara and Multan. After conquering them all, you will enter Yangtong from Kashmir and join forces with Xijunmai, and obey Xijunmai's orders. "

Now that the Harsha Dynasty has been conquered and the other countries are also in the process of being conquered, he will start arranging the war with Li Er.

After Xue Wanche agreed, he immediately led his troops away.

In the following time, Li Yuanji received an urgent military report from Feng Li, saying that Persia had sent 400,000 troops to attack, and that Persia also had firearms! (End of this chapter)
