Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 401 Chariot Crushing
The Red Rock Beach is just a piece of sandy land near the sea fifty miles outside the city of Temple Street. In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Cossack cavalry, Lu Xiangsheng stationed his gate here.

Lu Xiangsheng is currently the only important member of the Ming Dynasty who is in charge of the army as a cabinet scholar, and there are many subordinates around him. In addition to the establishment of auxiliary institutions such as field hospitals, Nuo Da’s Red Rock Beach is full of people. A tent that can't be seen at a glance.

Lu Xiangsheng, who had just passed and stood not long ago, was already a little old at this time, and his temples were covered with hoarfrost, but these few years were either in the bitter cold outside the customs or in the hot miasma in the south of the Five Ridges. There is a wind of a general.

Looking at the nearly 10 soldiers under his command who were making various roundabouts under his own layout, Lu Xiangsheng didn't feel a little excited or nervous. For him, commanding and organizing tens of thousands of people to fight is already a common thing.

If some people are born with the talent of generals, they can organize tens of thousands of people and sweep the world because of it; then, Lu Xiangsheng belongs to this kind of person.

Being good at organization and management, he himself has a demeanor that makes people obey his orders. Even though he is only in his 30s now, people can still feel his calmness.

Perhaps it is difficult for such people to be liked by the emperor, because they are too dazzling, covering up the light of the emperor, the emperor loves and hates them, but in the end he will kill them, out of selfishness The emperor's heart.

For example, Zhao Gou and Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty, Yingzong and Yu Qian, in the original history, because of Zhu Youjian's indifference, Lu Xiangsheng ended up alone and helpless and died in a bitter battle.

However, as a time traveler, Zhu Youxiao didn't value whether the Zhu family he relied on could enjoy the privileges of the empire for a long time, so he didn't care that Lu Xiangsheng would outshine him.

What's more, it is difficult for a talented man like Lu Xiangsheng to be compared with Zhu Youxiao who is open.

Therefore, the death of a famous general is not because the famous general is too good, but because the ruler is too incompetent. If he can't even control a few peerless commanders, how can he be able to achieve the prosperity of the court.

Zhu Youxiao's attitude towards these peerless talents is very simple, use all your ingenuity and wisdom, and open up more territory and wealth for Daming. Go to Fengyang for guerrilla warfare.

Guaranteed to be able to hang you in less than ten years.

Anyway, I also opened it up, so I have the spirit of Zhu Yuanzhang and the current Taizu who look down on the world and give up me.

"Report to the supervisor, the machine gun battalion and tank battalion of the Second Army are in place!"

"Report to the supervisor, the First Army has set up ambushes at various strategic passes except for the various units of the First Brigade and the Fourth Army!"

"Report to the supervisor, the third army has arrived at Temple Street and Longshanwei area, joining the third cavalry brigade, ready to respond at any time!"

……

At this time, outside the gate, several signal soldiers came one after another, and passed on the information of all the troops of the Imperial Guard ahead to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng drank his tea calmly. He didn't put down his teacup until he glanced at the map again, and said lightly, "The general attack has begun!"

All of a sudden, dozens of guns fired, and dozens of white phosphorous bombs rushed up into the cold sky, and exploded in the sky in an instant.

Countless signal soldiers also immediately ran towards their respective positions.

Then, there was the scene where Oknido was suddenly attacked by artillery fire when he was preparing to attack the [-]st Brigade of the [-]st Army of the Praetorian Guards.

The Cossack cavalry in Orknido also brought artillery, but their clumsy bronze artillery was too late to deal with the rapid artillery fire of the Praetorian Guards. In an instant, the artillery of these Cossack cavalry was smashed into a pile because of their clumsiness Broken copper and rotten iron.

The main force of the Cossack cavalry immediately dispersed and withdrew, and they were unwilling to become cannon fodder like this.

However, at this time, more than a dozen large chariots drove over from all around, preparing to launch a direct frontal attack on the Cossack cavalry.

The area around Temple Street is near the sea, so this area is mostly wetland. When the temperature is low, the road surface in this area is still stiff, flat and smooth. Therefore, the chariot battalion that has already taken anti-skid measures earlier is also light and fast. It is also much faster than when traveling on the grassland before.

The artillery from the Chariot Battalion began to bombard these Cossack cavalry, and the Cossack cavalry who had just recovered their formation immediately fell into chaos again, leaving countless corpses.

Coupled with the tick-tock continuous firing of Ming machine guns and the infantry of the Third Army of the Imperial Guard hiding behind the chariot firing bursts, these Cossack cavalry were harvested crop by crop by the Imperial Guard like familiar wheat. Lose.

Oknido realized that he seemed to have been fooled, but at the same time he was quite angry, so he rushed towards one direction with his Cossack cavalry, ready to spare the strange steel monster and crush the infantry behind it before retreating. go out.

But what they couldn't imagine was that the ball in the sky dropped strange things.

With a clang, the glass bottle shattered on the stiff ground, and there was an instant chemical reaction.

Technology is always innovating. Daming's poison gas bomb has been upgraded from a simple poison gas storage to a poison gas reactor, that is, such a two-liter glass bottle does not contain poison gas, but the reactant of poison gas and the corresponding catalyst. When it reaches oxygen, it will react violently and produce dozens of liters of poisonous gas.

In this way, it is easy to carry and attack, and the security is also high.

Okonedo didn't know that the squeaking liquid was producing poisonous gas, so he still roared frantically: "Rush out! Rush out! Defeat the yellow dwarfs behind the iron cover and let them taste the power of our sharp knives! "

It's a pity that the Cossack cavalry in Orknido didn't have time to let the imperial guards of Ming Dynasty taste the cold blades. On the contrary, they have already tasted the taste of ozone, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide and other deadly poisonous gases.

Oknido found that many warriors began to cry, and finally fell down involuntarily, and some even began to laugh uncontrollably.

Daming's poison gas bombs can't be that pure, and sometimes side reactions are unavoidable. No one knows how to produce nitrous oxide, a special gas called laughing gas.

Just when the Cossack cavalry began to show various mental disorders and physical malaise, the flying battalion gave them another big gift.

As soon as the incendiary bag was thrown down, the entire snow field was turned into a sea of ​​flames. Some Cossack cavalry were instantly ignited into burning men, and instantly turned into a piece of coke.

"Perhaps you are tall and mighty enough, but after all, you are only mortal bodies, and you are also afraid of fire and poisonous gas." Fu Dahai, the temporary commander of the Third Army, said and ordered: "Attack, infantry!"

After a burst of chemical weapons and incendiary bombs, the chariot battalion and infantry continued to advance, but this kind of advance almost no longer attacked, but directly crushed them, crushing the struggling Cossack cavalry into flesh mud.

The infantry, on the other hand, tried to help end their suffering early, knowing that the pain of being run over by a chariot is still unbearable.
