Chapter 316 The Big Show Begins
Zheng Zhilong set up a huge stage in the city of London, and has already performed on stage.

The Windsor Castle where Charles I lived before has been occupied by Zheng Zhilong. This place symbolizing imperial power and the royal family has become Zheng Zhilong's residence at this time.

Charles I didn't have any temper, and the circle of soldiers around Windsor Castle alone was far from what he could deal with.

The weapons in the hands of these soldiers were not seen by Charles I, but they were unusual from the look.

Not to mention, there are two huge steel warships outside the port.

All self-confidence comes from strong firepower, and all inferiority comes from weak firepower.

A big drama gradually kicked off in the city of London.

Zheng Zhilong deliberately had a huge wide square opened outside the city of London for the exhibition of various weapons brought from China.

There are gas tank shells, various air mines, rockets, land mines, grenades and other weapons.

These weapons are lined up and evenly distributed on the square.

There is a huge high platform behind the square, and Zheng Zhilong sits in the center of the high platform.

Charles I, Cromwell of Parliament, Charles and even Louis XIV were all there, sitting quietly on both sides of Zheng Zhilong.

This weird situation is extremely quiet. These people were originally enemies, but now they sit together peacefully.

They don't want to, but they have no choice.

Zheng Zhilong looked around with a smile on his face, and the profiteer value was immediately full.

There is no need to worry that these people will resist. The fleet in the port is not vegetarian.

Louis XIV was sitting right behind Charles I. He looked at his uncle sitting in front of him with a cloudy expression on his face.

Picking up the binoculars on the table, he took another look at the weapons on the square, and recognized the gas tank shell among the weapons at a glance.

The shock in my heart surfaced again.

I stayed in Amsterdam for so long before, because I wanted to get the method of making this weapon.

But I never thought that I would meet here today.

Turning around, he looked at his uncle sitting in front of him with a gloomy expression.

He cursed viciously in his heart: "No wonder he left without saying goodbye, it turns out he already has a better choice in his hands."

Of course you have to scold, and you have to scold severely.

Charles I seemed to feel Louis XIV's gaze, and turned to look at Louis XIV behind him.

His complexion also became very bad.

The original purpose was to abandon Louis XIV, so as to leave secretly by himself and complete the great cause.

Never thought that my nephew would keep chasing after him, but I really underestimated him.

"Uncle is really a good planner, let me just say, why did he run away without saying hello in advance, so there is a better substitute here." Louis XIV said with a gloomy face.

Charles I said with a smirk: "How do I know? I just came back in a hurry, and I only found out after I came back."

Not long ago, the two were still kind and friendly, but now they suddenly changed and turned against each other.

If Zheng Zhilong hadn't been sitting on it, the two of them would probably have fought directly.

Of course Charles I couldn't admit it.

Louis XIV also knew that his uncle had a tough mouth, so he didn't make any further entanglements.

Cromwell, who was sitting across from them, stared at Charles I like a vulture, wanting to swallow him directly.

At the same time, he glanced at Zheng Zhilong, who was sitting in the middle, with a displeased expression on his face.

He hated Zheng Zhilong's two-headed approach very much. If he only sold this weapon to his family, it would only be a matter of time before Charles I was defeated.

But now this posture is obvious, that is, to sell these weapons to everyone.

In this way, his advantage suddenly became very weak.

War is like this, when one person has a powerful weapon, then there is no way for other people to stop it.

When everyone has powerful weapons, everyone becomes the same level, and there is no difference from before.

He just dared to be angry and dare not speak out, he was angry in his heart, and he didn't dare to say this in front of Zheng Zhilong.

He deeply understands Zheng Zhilong's power, and he is also afraid that he will be killed by Zheng Zhilong because he talks too much nonsense.

Zheng Zhilong looked around and felt that the atmosphere was almost the same, so he asked his subordinates to show these people.

After the order was conveyed, a soldier came behind the gas tank shells.

He didn't explain too much either. According to the firing process, he put the gas tank shells on the launcher and aimed at a bunch of targets about a mile away in front of him.

"boom!"

The gas tank shells rose into the air, and the huge cannon body drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air, and finally landed precisely on the target.

The accuracy of gas tank shells is not very good, but the target area is large enough, and there is no need to worry too much about accuracy problems.

The moment it landed, the gas tank bombs rang out.

A violent explosion sounded in situ, and bursts of gunpowder smoke rose in situ.

The targets in the middle were directly torn to pieces.

The area of ​​the target is very large, as big as half a basketball court.

Although the outermost targets were not like the ones in the center, they were also blown up and down by the shock waves and shrapnel.

This huge cannon sound was like a giant hammer, hitting everyone's hearts.

Everyone in the stands stared with bated breath.

Zheng Zhilong picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Shaking his head, he looked contemptuous: "These barbarians, the tea they drink is really bad and tasteless. It's really boring!"

This is still the treasure of Charles I, and he is usually reluctant to drink it.

Charles I held the binoculars, stared intently, and stared dumbfounded ahead.

"This, this is really too powerful, isn't it? The power of this weapon is so powerful, it's unbelievable, unbelievable!"

He also knew that the gas tank shell fired just now was the one he had seen in Amsterdam before.

If you can buy this shell, what else is there to worry about?
He was not the only one who had this kind of thought. Louis XIV jumped directly from the stands, and hurriedly ran towards the target with a few entourages.

Seeing this posture, the others hurriedly followed behind.

When he came to the target, Louis XIV was dumbfounded.

There is a big pit in the middle, which is full of black ash.

The wooden targets have almost been burned, and some are still stuck in the pit and burn quietly.

He kept gesticulating outside the pit, thinking about what kind of scene it would be if this was the enemy camp.

In this era, the West still adopts the tactic of queuing up and shooting.

This tactic emphasizes bravery and boldness.

The appearance of gas tank shells is like a shit stick, wiping out all the so-called guts.

Looking at the pothole in front of him, Louis XIV made up his mind.

Be sure to splurge on this weapon.

Others have the same idea.

In the following time, Zheng Zhilong showed them other weapons, which aroused their amazement.

……

Time passed quietly like this, summer and September in the fourth year of China.

Autumn is approaching again, and maple leaves are falling to the ground.

The domestic war is coming to an end.

Yunnan Prefecture, Kunming.

Zhang Xianzhong sat on the main seat in the main hall of the original Mu Palace, with a sad face.

Not long ago, Mu Tianbo, the current Duke of Guizhou, fled to Burma despite Zhu Yujian, king of Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Yujian did not have any form of resistance with Sun Jie along the way.

He has a deep understanding of the gap in strength between himself and Sun Jie, and he has come all the way, avoiding contact as much as possible.

After going south from Xiangyang, he went to Jiangxi and stayed in Jiangxi for a while. Hearing that Sun Jie's army was going south, he led his troops to move southwest and came to Yunnan Mansion.

He knew that being in Yunnan was not a long-term solution, so he took a rest and asked Mu Tianbo to recruit soldiers and horses in the local area, and the soldiers retreated to Burma.

In the original history, the person who retreated to Myanmar was Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang announced the founding of the People's Republic of China in Zhaoqing a while ago, but unfortunately there was no disturbance.

When Zheng Zhilong was going west, he stopped by and strangled Zhu Youlang's flame that had just risen to death.

After the defeat, Zhu Youlang led the remnants to retreat to Yunnan.

Before his butt was hot, Zhu Yujian came and annexed his remaining forces.

Zhu Yujian consolidated his troops in Yunnan. Although there were already 20 troops, the real combat elites were only in the early [-]s.

He understood the gap between himself and Sun Jie, so he took a break and retreated to Burma with Mu Tianbo.

Not long after the retreat, Zhang Xianzhong came over.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't want to come over either, because he was chased by Sun Jie's tanks.

On the sixth day of May in the fourth year of China, Zhang Xianzhong sent 20 troops to the west of Wuchang Prefecture to meet Sun Jie's troops.

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong only felt that he was in control of the world, with 20 soldiers in hand, where could he go?

But the reality is so cruel.

……

On the sixth day of May, Zhang Xianzhong woke up very early.

This time he wants to drive himself to conquer.

Just after breakfast, he rode out of the city on his horse and arrived at the camp in the west of the city.

At noon that day, they set up a battle in the west of the city, preparing to retreat from the enemy.

Zhang Xianzhong thought very well, if he retreated from Sun Jie's army this time, then he would have the possibility and ability to compete in the Central Plains.

Coupled with the fact that he has lived a chic life for too long recently, he is a little confused about the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

In the 20 army, the number of soldiers capable of fighting is very small, only tens of thousands.

Zhang Xianzhong arranged these tens of thousands of people around him to suppress the formation.

The rest of the cannon fodder was led by his sons.

Sun Kewang is very "favored", and together with Zhang Xianzhong, he is in the Chinese army.

Li Dingguo, who was neglected, commanded [-] old, weak, sick and disabled, and set up defenses in Hankou, northwest of Wuchang Prefecture.

Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi commanded the remaining troops and deployed them near Zhang Xianzhong.

On the seventh day of May, Liang Wuling's army marched south to Hankou.

Hankou is the west gateway of Wuchang Prefecture and is very important.

In order to fight smoothly, Liang Wu dispatched five tanks to hold the battle.

On the eighth day of May, the Central Army arrived outside the city of Hankou.

After a short rest, they launched an attack.

In order to disintegrate the low fighting spirit, the tank commander did not plan to open the city gate with artillery, but used rampage.

When the steel monster appeared outside Hankou City, the defenders on the city wall went crazy.

I have never seen such a terrifying monster, never heard of such a weird scene.

I can only watch these terrifying monsters coming towards me. The cannons, firecrackers, and rolling wood and rocks on the top of the city have no effect.

He watched helplessly as these steel monsters came outside the city gate, and watched the steel monsters roar and burst through the city gate with black smoke.

That sense of impact, that sense of oppression, is suffocating.

At this point, the morale of the army collapsed instantly, fell apart, and fled.

They have always been just a group of chickens and dogs. How could they not be afraid when they saw such a shocking scene?

Li Dingguo is a good general, and he was at a loss when he saw this scene.

Technology that has spanned hundreds of years is far from being able to compete with manpower.

The soldiers of the Central Army followed closely behind, and captured Hankou without bloodshed.

Li Dingguo was captured, and fifty thousand soldiers disappeared.

After the news of the defeat came, Zhang Xianzhong was heartbroken.

But he was still confident at this time, and felt that he could withstand Sun Jie's troops.

Although the soldiers who escaped explained the power of the tank, it was very inexplicable to Zhang Xianzhong's ears.

In addition, Sun Kewang kept pushing the responsibility on Li Dingguo, saying that Li Dingguo did it on purpose, which caused Zhang Xianzhong to not believe this fact at all.

He still sticks to the battlefield, thinking he can hold his ground.

The idea is good, but the ending is tragic.

When the five steel monsters appeared in front of the army formation and pressed towards the army formation with coercion, Zhang Xianzhong realized that what the defeated soldiers said that day was true.

Seeing this, Liu Wenxiu at the front ordered his soldiers to attack.

The tank performance is still stable, and the machine gun is sprayed with fire snakes.

These killing machines slaughtered soldiers steadily.

Just one face to face, Liu Wenxiu's soldiers collapsed.

With the assistance of the drone, the artillery behind the tank completed the positioning of Zhang Xianzhong's army.

The shells were fired, and the cannons were fired.

It was like a meteorite falling into the sea, setting off waves one after another.

Today, these soldiers of Sun Jie have formulated detailed combat procedures.

Tanks lead the way, artillery assists.

After the artillery fires, the tanks attack, and after the tanks attack, the infantry rushes.

When the infantry enters the field, they basically clean up the battlefield and take care of the finishing touches.

The war suddenly becomes boring, no matter how powerful the opponent is, it cannot last a round.

Naturally, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't hold on, and was dizzy from the repeated explosions.

Wherever it is affected by shells, there is no place that does not collapse.

Another face-to-face meeting, Zhang Xianzhong's army collapsed, completely collapsed.

In order to survive, Zhang Xianzhong hastily gathered the defeated soldiers, unable to escape all the way.

Those concubines in Wuchang Mansion, all their glory and wealth, were all left behind.

However, Sun Jie's soldiers pursued him like gangrene, and in the end they could only run into the valley, all the way to Yunnan.

If it weren't for Zhu Yujian's departure, Zhang Xianzhong would probably be devastated.

Recalling the scene that day, Zhang Xianzhong was terrified.

This has become his nightmare, and also the nightmare of the remaining soldiers.

……

"Everyone, what should we do now? What should we do now?"

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the crowd in front of him with a sad face.

Compared with before, the number of people in the hall has decreased by more than half.

Thinking that Li Dingguo was gone, Zhang Xianzhong felt even more uncomfortable.

Everyone kept silent, you look at me, I look at you.

"Well, if the fourth child is here, there will definitely be an explanation." Zhang Xianzhong sighed.

It is only now that I know Li Dingguo is good, but it is too late.
