Chapter 566: To Each His Heart
"Lord Norton, the Ming army is less than fifty miles away from Tailun City." A Rakshasa sentinel rode to report on the city of Tailun.
Norton was stubby, fat, and dressed in a black-and-gray robe, a full head shorter than Morozov, who was standing next to him.
"Keep exploring!" Norton ordered.
"Morozov, is the firearm of this Ming army really so powerful?" Norton didn't look back, and said to Morozov beside him.
The Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty have been bordering as early as twenty years ago, and as the commander of the Central Dong region of the Rakshasa Kingdom, how could he not know the combat power of the ancient imperial army of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Excellency Nord, my troops are all elite in the southern and northern wars, even compared to your troops, isn't that enough?"
Morozov's heart was depressed, he had suffered such a crushing defeat in the Far East for eight years, and this Nord's rhetorical question was like rubbing salt in his wounds.
"Who knows if it was because you underestimated the enemy that caused my Rakshasa country to suffer such a great humiliation." Norton seemed to think it wasn't enjoyable enough and added.
One of the two is the commander of the Central East and the other is the commander of the Far East, and in private Morozov calls him Norton a dwarf pig, and Norton calls Morozov a stupid donkey and a reckless man.
Now that the melee in Europa is coming to an end, and His Majesty Alexei is busy with many wars, this Morozov, as the commander of the Eastern Front, does not want to share his Majesty's worries, but adds new enemies to the Rakshasa country, and also causes our Rakshasa country to lose 20,000 elite soldiers.
It's just this crime, and after going back, the Morozov family will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
His Vladimir family has been fighting with the Morozov family for decades, but he didn't expect to fall at his feet, and Norton couldn't help but feel proud.
"Hmph, this is the Daishan Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, his country has been fighting with the Ming Dynasty for decades, whether the old man is lying, you can tell him." Morozov gave up Daishan from the side.
The situation is stronger than people, although Morozov is eager to stab the short man in front of him with a knife, but if he wants to reduce the crime, he must first drive this group of Ming troops out of the territory of the Rakshasa country.
His men suffered heavy losses in battles outside Pyongyang, and if they wanted to win the war, they had to rely on Nord's legions.
"Honorable Marquis, what Lord Morozov said is true, the commander of this Ming Dynasty is a young county king who has just turned twenty years old, and the firearms in his hands are very sharp, and he can still kill the enemy in the field at a distance of five hundred paces."
Dai Shan was really frightened this time, his hair was gray and messy, he was dressed in a dirty dragon robe, and he still had half of the heroic posture of looking at the world.
The interpreter who was waiting on the side then translated Daishan's words to Norton, and Norton became angry as soon as the interpreter finished speaking.
"What? Five hundred meters? You, the defeated general, are deliberately exaggerating! "If the musket of this Ming army can hit 500 meters, then what else can he do?
"Lord Marquis, don't be impatient, and listen to what I have to say." Even when Shen Yang was the prince back then, no one dared to speak to him like this, and Dai Shan almost clenched his fists to calm himself down.
Although Dai Shan despised this group of foreign vassals in his heart, his current situation was worse than that of Namorozov.
Both of them had only about 4,000 remnants left, but Morozov had a powerful country behind him, and he was good for ...... Except for the last 4,000 people, there was nothing left.
The death of Mandahai in battle made his heart twist like a knife, and it was his last son, and the son who was most beloved by him.
Now he no longer dreams of being an emperor, he has four sons who died in the hands of Liu Hongji, and now he just wants to borrow the hand of the Rakshasa Kingdom to kill the king of Anguo.
"As far as I know, there are not many firearms in the Ming army that attack at a very long distance, and that firearm seems to be impossible to replicate.
The standard musket of the Daming Shenji Battalion is only less than 30 steps away from the musket in your army, and as for the artillery, I see it as no different from your artillery, and the standard material is slightly different. ”
There were many generals in the Great Qing Kingdom who died under that strange firearm, and Dai Shan kept it secret, and the cannon was first transmitted from Europa, but Europa now has no steelmaking technology.
"Is Da Ming already so strong?" Norton muttered.
Morozov and the down-and-out Qing Emperor in front of him had no reason to lie to him, if the muskets and artillery of the Ming Dynasty could really hit that far, then in time, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be a strong enemy of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
After all, the border between the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty is too long.
"Don't worry, Lord Norton, when the old man came from Korea, he and Lord Morozov dug up the Datong River, and Liu Hongchuan's troops must have suffered heavy losses.
They are from afar, people are sleepy, unfamiliar with the terrain, we just need to stick to the city here, wait for work, when he attacks the city, just at all costs to kill this Liu Hong, the Ming is just a chicken and a dog! ”
Dai Shan has been dealing with Daming all his life, he is very familiar with Daming, Daming can have such a force now, it is all the handiwork of the king of Anguo.
If this damn kid can be killed, within a few years, Da Ming will be back to his original state, and he will have a chance to make a comeback again.
"It's not the style of this marquis to be trapped in a dangerous city, since you want to fight, you will fight with it!" Nord's legions, which consisted of half cavalry and half Caucasian musketeers and pikemen, did not play much of a role in the city.
"No! There is a kind of throwing firearm in the Ming army, which is very powerful, and my troops died at the hands of such firearms.
If you want to win this war, you should stop thinking about the field! Morozov asserted.
He had collected dozens of grenades in his hands that had not exploded, and he had sworn in his heart that when he returned, he would definitely develop this strange throwing firearm, and if he handed over this firearm to His Majesty Alexei, he would definitely be able to make up for it, and even ......
Morozov's explanation directly drove Norton crazy, when did the firearms of the Ming Empire become so powerful?
It's just a lesson from the past, Norton thought about it again and again, and finally decided not to fight in the field in the first battle.
Although Tailun City is not big, it is a typical Lingbao, and it has the most sophisticated artillery in the Rakshasa country, although he is not sure of the field battle, but he is still fully sure of defending this castle and consuming the military strength of the Ming Dynasty.
Lingbao has never been defeated in the Central East and the Far East, and it is rarely matched in Southeast Asia.
On the other hand, the Ming Expeditionary Force marched for several days to reach the vicinity of Tailun City, and Liu Honggradually had to consider the health of his subordinates and ordered to camp on the spot for repair.
In the field, he was hard to meet an opponent, but he didn't have to worry about the sneak attack of the Rakshasa country, except for the double number of soldiers on duty, all the soldiers were burying pots and cooking and stepping up their rest.
"My lord, what tactics do you have for this Lun City, and show them to me!" Inside the big tent, the Allied staff general Uljid Legrezhtu was stunned.
Liu Hong gradually rubbed his thighs that were sore from riding a horse for a long time and did not say a word, although he asked this ancient man three times, he still did not remember the name of this big man.
"What about tactics against the Rakshasa Kingdom...... This king hasn't thought about it yet. ”
