Reincarnation of the whole people: I am a hundred times more talented than I am in other worlds

Chapter 24 Our goal is the sea of ​​stars!
  The battle is about to break out, but this is destined to be an unequal war.

Because the weapon gap between the two sides has reached the point of dimensionality reduction.

In Li Ping'an's words, in what era are we still fighting traditional bayonet hand-to-hand combat on horseback?
  My lord, I've eaten poop!
  The Taiping troops he led were all armed with firearms, and there were nearly a hundred artillery pieces lined up on the city walls.

Even though the number of soldiers participating in the war is not as good as that of the Hu and Man tribes, their combat effectiveness is far above them.

Li Ping'an had already sharpened his sword, waiting for the barbarians to come to his door, so that he could take this opportunity to completely establish his reputation as an eternal emperor.

But the barbarians knew nothing about this.

Not only that, when they saw that Li Ping'an actually took the initiative to open the city gate of Shanhaiguan, and the troops were not riding horses, they all couldn't help but look overjoyed.

Through careful research in the city, they had already heard about the rumored emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom visiting Shanhaiguan in person.

Originally, they were still a little worried about this.

After all, although those remnants of the Qian Kingdom wrote essays and reports every day to smear the emperor, saying that he was just a man who climbed to the throne by relying on brute force and a little bit of luck.

But since he can manage the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in order within a few years, how can he really be as ordinary as the other party said?

However, looking at it now, it seems that the emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really didn't understand military affairs at all, and he actually made such a ridiculous and stupid operation.

The barbarians are all cavalry with tall men and large horses, fast speed and strong impact. Therefore, there has been a saying since ancient times that "one Hu is equal to five Han".

If the Central Plains civilization wants to withstand their ferocious wolf-like offensive, all they can rely on are solid city walls and neat military formations.

But now the emperor's son actually asked his soldiers to abandon their turtle shells and only sent a small group of infantry out of the city...

Facing the prairie cavalry that came and went like the wind, wouldn't military merit be wasted?
  The leaders of the Hu and Man tribes all laughed, lamenting that the surprise came too suddenly.

Immediately, they sent out five thousand cavalry, preparing to give Li Ping'an a showdown.

However, just when a group of prairie cavalry rushed forward and prepared to cut off a few Han people's heads, a horrific scene soon happened.

"boom!"

"Boom!!"

But on the tower of Shanhaiguan, a series of dark mysterious weapons suddenly erupted with a deafening roar.

The huge gun barrel, which was thicker than a human head, was filled with gunpowder smoke and flames were rising into the sky. Before the prairie cavalry at the front could realize what was happening, they felt the world was spinning, and the whole world seemed to be in crisis of destruction.

After a round of artillery fire, the neighing of war horses, the screams of wounded soldiers, blood, flames, rolling soil... the entire battlefield was in chaos.

There were nearly a thousand cavalry who were lucky enough to escape the attack and finally calmed down their horses. But before they could launch the second round of attack, they saw that the Han people leaving the city were already lined up. At this moment, the soldiers in the first row He held a weapon like a fire stick in his hand, aiming straight at them.

Although I didn’t know what those soldiers were holding, for no apparent reason, a group of fearless prairie cavalry shuddered heavily!

"boom!"

"Bang bang!!"

After a round of intensive firing, hundreds more bodies appeared on the land plowed by the shells.

However, the killed prairie cavalry did not even know what they were hit by.

They are confused...

Looking in the direction of Shanhaiguan is like looking at a Fengdu city standing on the ground. The soldiers in the first row squatted down and slowly loaded gunpowder. The soldiers in the second row were already ready.

Another volley completely shattered the courage of the barbarian cavalry.

In an instant, the barbarian soldiers who had come to their senses abandoned their helmets and armor. Some of them could not even look for the horses that had accompanied them through life and death, and turned around and fled.

In this battle, the sound of gunpowder explosions made the entire battlefield lose all other sounds.

Not to mention the barbarian soldiers, even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom themselves were shocked.

Many of them had already heard of gunpowder.

After all, this thing was handed over to the Ministry of Industry personally by Emperor Li Ping'an, and it became popular very quickly.

As early as two or three years ago, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to have some fireworks made of gunpowder flow into the public.

However, due to the strict control of gunpowder by the imperial court, most people have only heard some rumors.

This was the first time they had seen the horrors of gunpowder in war.

It really breaks mountains and rocks, destroys heaven and earth!
  No wonder His Majesty attached so much importance to this thing at the beginning, and spent a lot of money to repeatedly urge the development and popularization of gunpowder.

After this battle, the entire Hu and Man tribes were dumbfounded.

That night, the chiefs of the Hu and Man tribes sternly questioned the remnants of the Qian Kingdom who encouraged them to attack. What exactly were the heaven-shaking weapons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom during the day? But what could the remnants of the Qian Kingdom know?
  They don’t know anything either!
  Daqian was destroyed for less than ten years. How come the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has developed into such a terrifying situation?

The Hu and Man tribes were furious and immediately ordered people to cut off the heads of the remaining members of the Qian Kingdom and sent them to Li Ping'an's tent overnight.

Along with these dozens of heads, there were also letters of surrender from the Hu and Man countries.

In the book, the heads of the Hu and Man clans all stated that the dispatch of troops was just a minor misunderstanding.

And put the blame for the misunderstanding on the remnants of Qianguo.

They said that they had now come to their senses and chopped off the heads of the remnants of the Qian Kingdom. If Li Pingan could forgive their unreasonableness, they were willing to respect the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as the supreme kingdom of heaven and regard Li Pingan as the Khan of Heaven.

Such an honor has never been heard of since ancient times!
  All the surrounding officials who came to the border with Li Ping'an to fight were all happy.

Defeating the barbarians and making the active barbarians surrender to Chen Chen is an achievement that will go down in history!
  Although they did not contribute much credit, just following Li Ping'an to Shanhaiguan was enough to leave a mark in the history books for thousands of years.

However, just as the ministers were discussing how much blood they would shed and how much flesh they would cut off from the Hu and Man tribes.

Li Ping'an tore up the surrender letter and said calmly: "Surrender? I don't think it's necessary. From now on, wherever the sun rises, it will be the territory of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

"Wherever the sun sets, there will be people from my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom inhabiting it!"

"If the Hu and Man tribes really want to surrender, then give up resistance and completely become a part of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

The messengers from the Hu and Lang tribes were dumbfounded. They didn't know what Li Ping'an meant, so they could only leave with a sullen face.

After a few people left, the officials gathered around and asked eagerly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Li Ping'an looked at them and smiled: "Be more relaxed, because our goal... is the sea of ​​stars!"
