Become a feudal king from today

"Cheer up and risk your life for me."

"If we lose, we won't have a good ending. If we lose Jiangnan, we will have nothing."

"Do you still want to return to Jiangbei? Do you want to get your property back? If so, just fight to the death."

"..."

These inspired the generals, and the generals inspired their own soldiers.

Although he has not yet recovered from the fear of yesterday's shelling.

But the words of the generals spoke to their hearts.

Once upon a time, they were aloof, and the common people were their tenant farmers. They came in and out cheering on each other, and who didn't envy them.

Even the most ordinary clan members are looked down upon by others because they share the same clan and surname as the wealthy clan.

Now they have nothing because of King Yan.

"Fight, fight with them." The soldiers of the Shi tribe looked at the Yanzhou soldiers who continued to attack the first trench and shouted.

Waves of slogans rang out on the battlefield, and Wang She showed a satisfied look in his eyes.

Luther also nodded slightly.

So many of his mercenaries died, why should these powerful people hide behind them?

In Niutoutan, they will make King Yan's army pay heavy casualties!

While the powerful soldiers shouted, the soldiers continued to support the soldiers in the first row of trenches through the corridor in the middle.

Every time a soldier fell, the next batch of powerful soldiers and mercenaries took over, and the two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle.

The changes on the battlefield were immediately observed by Lu and Chang in the hot air balloon.

Obviously, compared to the war in Jiangbei, the resistance of the powerful clan this time was more determined than before.

But before the war, he was mentally prepared.

This trip south is their final decisive battle with the powerful clan.

In addition to the status of the powerful soldiers, they also focused on observing the mercenaries in the West.

These mercenaries are obviously more experienced than the powerful soldiers.

Traveling in the trenches always meant staying low and sticking close to the trenches to avoid the bombardment of artillery shells.

After entering the first row of trenches, they crouched down and tilted their flintlocks with bayonets attached.

This is equivalent to turning the trench into a trap. If the palace soldiers jump in, they will definitely be injured.

During the battle, they worked in pairs, with one person responsible for shooting and the other responsible for loading.

Without taking aim, he fired a shot outside and squatted down again.

The muskets had no accuracy. They just wanted to let stray bullets hit some unlucky soldier to kill the enemy.

In addition, what made them frown was that these Western mercenaries seemed to have taught the powerful soldiers how to resist lime bombs.

Soldiers in the trench occasionally took out a piece of cloth to wipe their eyes.

They speculated that the cloth must have been soaked in vegetable oil.

Observing these situations, they used their view of the battlefield to constantly adjust their tactics.

At the same time, he also wrote down the situation on the battlefield on a piece of paper, tied it with a stone and threw it away.

"Your Highness, it's similar to what we observed." Chang Wei took off the note and handed it to Zhao Xu.

Although they were not as careful as Lu Chang and the others, they could still get a general idea.

After the royal soldiers landed on Niutou Beach, they were always blocked from the first trench.

There are 150,000 people on the other side, and yesterday's shelling cost them at most 20,000 to 30,000 people.

Even if the remaining people are pigs, they will have to be caught for a while.

Therefore, it was not that their attack was frustrated, but that they continued to consume the enemy's strength.

After all, morale on the battlefield is important, but the most important thing is the casualties on both sides.

When they realize that they cannot defeat the enemy and their own casualties are increasing, the high-spirited soldiers will continue to decline and eventually collapse.

"Should we let the second batch of soldiers also cross the river?" Chang Wei asked again.

The first batch of soldiers to cross the river was about 50,000.

There will be a second batch and a third batch next to allow the entire 150,000 troops to cross the river.

"It's not the time yet." Zhao Xu put down the telescope.

Just with 50,000 soldiers, the beach seemed crowded. If another 50,000 soldiers were sent over, everyone would be crowded into a pile, and a stray bullet from the other side might be able to injure the palace soldiers.

Only when the powerful army tasted defeat under the attack of the first batch of royal soldiers, and then allowed the second batch of soldiers to cross the river, could their morale be severely dampened.

For example, when capturing the first trench.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei responded, he was just a little anxious and wanted to take Niutou Beach as soon as possible.

Zhao Xu nodded, thought of something, and asked: "How is the Qin army's deployment?"

The royal army attacked near Jinling, and the defense in other places in Dasong was weak.

So when he went south, he ordered Chang Wei to mobilize the Qin army to defend weak points to avoid being stolen by the enemy.

Take Nanliang for example. If they take the opportunity to launch an attack, they can still cause considerable losses to Jiangbei.

"The Qin army sent 20,000 additional soldiers to Jingzhou to defend Nanliang. The current number of troops in Jingzhou reaches 60,000." Chang Wei said.

The Qin army, Ning Jin army and the royal army each have their own garrison range.

Among them, the Qin army is responsible for the defense of Qinzhou, Yongzhou, and Jingzhou, and the royal army is responsible for the defense of Jinzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qizhou, Bozhou, and Ningzhou.

However, since they mainly faced the enemy on the front line in Jinzhou, Bozhou and Ningzhou, they actually focused on guarding these three states.

The person in charge of Ning Jinjun is naturally Ning Jin Dusi.

Zhao Xu felt more at ease after hearing this.

Immediately, he continued to focus on the battlefield.

Next, Niutou Beach was basically a back-and-forth battle between the two sides.

The royal soldiers on the beach continued to use rifle guns to shoot at the enemies who showed up, and threw grenades into the trenches despite the hail of bullets.

The artillery on the beach also continued to bombard the trenches.

The fighting lasted from early morning to noon, when the battlefield took a turn.

At this time, another charge was organized on the beach. Two thousand royal troops, covered by howitzers and soldiers, rushed towards the trench.

The shells exploded into clouds of flames in the trench, and the opponent was so suppressed that he could not lift his head.

The royal soldiers on the beach also took advantage of the range of rifled guns to shoot any soldiers they could find.

The mercenaries and powerful soldiers who leaned out to shoot the charging palace soldiers were constantly killed and injured under the accurate and ferocious firepower.

Arriving thirty meters away from the trench, the royal soldiers all threw a wave of grenades into the trench, then charged towards the first trench with bayonets in hand.

Learning from the opponent's experience of setting their bayonets at an angle to create traps, they did not immediately jump into the trench.

Instead, he raised his gun and fired a bullet at them, then jumped into the trench.

"Hold the fucking trench for me this time." Wang Qiao, the commander-in-chief, shouted as he provoked a powerful soldier.

He is from Yanzhou. When the King of Yan recruited troops in Yan County for the first time, he joined the royal army.

After that, he accompanied the army in the north and south, and was promoted from an ordinary soldier to the team leader, then to the flag commander. After the restructuring, he was promoted to the general flag.

Like him, most of the people who joined the royal army with him had been promoted.

Of course, what they rely on is not their veteran qualifications, but their courage to fight and kill on the battlefield.

Every time he charged, he took the lead.

As he finished speaking, a tall Western mercenary general rushed towards him.
