Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

These hot air balloons that suddenly appeared in the sky were quickly discovered by them. There are more soldiers kneeling down to worship. It’s even rarer for them to learn what culture. This is the first time they have seen a hot air balloon show off. It is strange if there is no fear and tension.

And when they knelt and worshiped, they heard cheers from the army on the opposite side, and they saw the hot air balloon Village Officer in the sky. Soldiers wearing mercenary uniforms were approaching them. When pointing fingers, anyone who is not a fool understands what is going on.

“This turned out to be an army sent by mercenaries. Are they already recognized by the heavens and want to destroy us?”

“Even God has to take care of them , How do we fight this battle?”

“They can clearly see where we hide, don’t we still have to be targets?”

Soldiers The voice of the discussion is getting louder and louder, which has caused a considerable impact, and the morale of the army has dropped to its lowest point during this brief moment.

The generals of the first Second Sh艒 Clan army, while feeling incredible, they are more concerned about the morale of the army. At the moment they want to suppress this panic. Some people proposed to use firecrackers to control the world. The balloon hits, and as long as it succeeds in doing so, all the previous panic will go with the wind.

Although the eyes are clear, it is simply impossible to hit the hot air balloon in the sky at the distance of the firecracker or the distance of the bow and arrow.

How can a fireball with an effective range of only 100 metres hit a hot air balloon 150 meters away? Not to mention shooting to the sky, which shortens their range.

I saw a burst of gunfire, and a bow and arrow burst out of the air, but in the end there was no news at all, no answer at all.

The first Shang Surname shot the first shot, and then it was time for the mercenaries to fight back. Under the command of a hot air balloon in the air, where and how many enemies are, what is exposed is completely clear.

Which trench has a lot of enemies, you should throw down the grenades; which trench has only two or three enemies, you can directly rush up to fight the bayonet; which trenches simply look like, in fact There is no enemy, you can directly occupy and so on.

A mercenary is like a tiger that has grown wings, moving forward step by step in an orderly manner. From time to time, it will be accompanied by the sound of grenade bombs, and then the sound of gunfire.

I thought that with these trench guards, not to mention that the mercenaries could be repelled, at least they could win a tie. But because of the sudden addition of the hot air balloon, everything they prepared seemed so ridiculous. Just three hours later, hundreds of trenches were occupied, and nearly 10,000 Shang Surname soldiers were killed or captured. .

This kind of rapid offensive speed completely disrupted the deployment of Shang Surname Army. After retreating and then retreating, the military’s mind appeared turbulence. Some of the soldiers who didn’t want to die began to retreat. They became deserters and fled towards the rear after dropping their weapons. In addition, they simply hung the white flag in the trenches and surrendered as prisoners.

It’s like a plague spreading. The morale of Shang Surname’s army is being disintegrated little by little, and then it is like a levee breach, and finally it becomes a powerful force.

Prepared for several years of trench defense, but it was cracked only after six hours. Even Yang Chendong, who had been prepared for such a speed, was surprised.

Of course, Yang Chendong still ignored the admiration and fear of the world. In fact, from the moment the hot air balloon appeared, the opposing party’s military spirit had been dissipated, and failure was a matter of time. Being able to be defeated so quickly, most of them feel that mercenaries are people who are attached to heaven and earth, so if they are opponents, isn’t it disrespectful to heaven and earth?

The army鈥檚 offensive speed is beyond the imagination of both sides. Outside the Keelung port, the navy also launched an attack at nine in the morning.

The difference with the army is that the navy, under the command of the division commander Gao Xiong, has a ruthless artillery attack.

Not at all means to enter the pier of the port. The artillery fire is as if you don鈥檛 need any money and you鈥檙e just three kilometers away. This makes you still prepare to have a confrontation with the other side. The ship soldiers were disappointed.

Among the more than two hundred sea-going vessels, some of them are good, not small in size, and high in value. In their view, this is the bait, and they are afraid that whoever sees such a good ship will not think about letting go easily and want to use it for themselves.

If you have such an idea, you have to play melee and melee combat. In that case, the Xiangyang Cannon, which is only one mile away from their attack, can work, and maybe they can hit a difficult problem. Maybe points?

But who would have thought that people didn鈥檛 mean to take advantage at all. A round of artillery shells fell like rain, hitting the harbor, sinking countless sea ships; hitting the pier. , The Xiangyang cannons standing there were also lifted into the air.

“Don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid, they will finally land, when the time comes is the time for us to fight back.” General Shang Surname standing here still said with a glimmer of hope. He believes that mercenaries are not here to destroy these ships, but to occupy here. Now that it is an occupation, a crowd attack must be launched. As long as the army behind them can block the mercenaries with the help of the staggered trenches, they have the possibility of turning over here.

It’s just a pity that General Shang Surname is doomed to be disappointed. Because the army he gave high hopes to them failed before them. Not only did the 50,000 army surrender 30,000 people and kill thousands in battle, the other 10,000 people have been lost to Hsinchu, Yilan and other places one after another and retreated back to New Taipei. Fuzhong.

It seems that only by returning to the high city with city walls everywhere, can it be safer.

When the news of the army’s defeat came back to the port, it was already noon on the 2nd day. When the general waiting here risked being killed by artillery fire at any time and heard the intelligence of the army鈥檚 defeat, he looked up to sky and heave a deep sigh and brought a group of soldiers hidden everywhere. Also returned to New Taipei City.

At this point, in just two days, all the defenses of Shang Surname’s outer line have been declared a failure, and all of them have retreated to the New Beifu, and the force has reached nearly 80,000.

When the mercenary army came all the way like a hot knife through butter to the outside of Xinbeifu, they saw the closed six city city gate.

“Quickly encircle here, and at the same time clean up any hidden dangers and enemies that may exist, be afraid to surrender, kill!” Cold Front Army First Division Commander Leng Song issued a military order, Cold Front for thousands of people And the auxiliary soldiers began to get busy.

On the fourth day of the war, Keelung Port changed hands. After clearing all the obstacles, the navy ships finally entered, and the guns pointed at the New Beifu. The extended attack range of the artillery here is enough to reach the New Beifu.

On the fifth day of the war, Yang Chendong neither fast nor slow came to the outside of Xinbei. Now that there are six city gates here, it is so visible that it is a big city. I don鈥檛 want such a big city to be destroyed by artillery fire. Yang Chendong pointed his hand forward and said majesticly, “Minister Yang, I鈥檒l see you next. That鈥檚 it.”

Minister Yang, Yang Shan, was originally the Great Ming Ministry of Rites Assistant Minister. He was rescued by Yang Chendong during the transformation of the Tubo Fort and arrived in Nanjing with Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, which was the establishment of Yingtian Mansion. After joining Southern Ming, he served as Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Only because he offended High Official Liu De, he reluctantly went to Northern Ming and was rescued by Yang Chendong. After he was sent to Chihkan City, he took up the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs with his own ability.

Yang Shan is good at eloquence, and it is more appropriate to send him to Surname, the No. 1 Shang during this trip.

Since he came to Chihkan City, Yang Shan was an eye-opener. Later, because of his old relationship with Yu Qian, he was recommended as the foreign minister.

Yang Shan, who wants to do a great job with a strong heart, does not have any constructive skills after taking office. For nothing else, Chihkan hasn’t established a nation at all, so how can diplomacy be said? Although there are many countries that normally deal with at sea, those people are simply not qualified to come to the island to take a look. His minister looks impressive but is worthless.

Having been waiting until now, I finally have the opportunity to perform well. It is still under Yang Chendong鈥檚 eyelids. You know how noble the young Sixth Young Master is in Chihkan City. How could he not want to behave well?

Yang Shan, who was named by his name, didn鈥檛 even think about it at this time, let alone think about whether there would be any mortal danger after entering the New Beifu. , With two Cold Fronts who were responsible for protecting him, he strode towards the city gate.

Yang Shan revealed his identity when he arrived at the city gate, and after waiting for about a stick of incense, he was able to sit in the city with a bamboo basket placed on the gate tower.

“Young Master, can he do it?” Hu Mang asked with some worry as Yang Shan and two entourage entered the city.

“I always have to try if it works.” Yang Chendong hehe smiled, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. If it wasn’t for not wanting to destroy this Six Sect New Beifu, considering that most of the people in the city are descendants of the Han people, simply don’t need such a labor to attack the city directly.

It’s just a military plan, if you can win without a knife and gun, it’s best. As for whether King Shangde will be disadvantageous to Yang Shan, Yang Chendong still has some confidence, unless they are all dead, otherwise, in this case, they dare to kill, really bold.

I really have so much courage, presumably they will not stay under the blockade of mercenaries for 3 years, but they have already desperately broken through.

Furthermore, after Yang Shan entered the city, he kept his head up straight and walked, even though he still didn鈥檛 wrinkle his eyebrows under the care of the first Surname soldiers, it鈥檚 very good. He showed his prestige as an Emissary, but did not lose his reputation as a mercenary.
