Chapter 1011: Emperor Dust Destroys Chu
On the flagship Gaihai, Yu Dayou saw the embarrassed appearance of the defenders at the head of the city clearly through the telescope, and grinned: "A group of little ladies who have never seen the world, they can't stand it." ”
"All of them, shelling Da Nang City!" Yu Dayou turned around and ordered.
The eastern wall of Da Nang City is only 400 meters away from the pier, and it is still within the range of the fleet's artillery.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Steel cannonballs slashed through the air in graceful arcs, like iron fists, smashing the blue brick city wall, stirring up pieces of rubble.
Flying stone chips flew past the ears of the defenders at the head of the city, like a rain of bullets.
In just half an hour, the seemingly impregnable city wall cracked everywhere, like a spider's web; In some places, the whole place has even been dented, and it looks like it is about to collapse.
"Aim for the depression, concentrate your fire, and blast through a section of the wall first." Yu Dayou ordered.
Suddenly, the dense artillery fire was like a meteorite falling from the sky, grazing sparks, and carrying out continuous blows on the city wall, and the city wall was shaking like the ground and trembling.
"Crunch!"
The military flag standing on the tower was hit by a cannonball and broke in two.
At the head of the city, the Third Army of Haiphong City was in full battle, and the commander of the army, Fan Tianming, frowned, looked serious, and ordered a counterattack while appeasing the soldiers.
Artillery technology is naturally not unique to Great Xia, and Haiphong City has also mastered artillery manufacturing technology, but the entire industrial system is not as developed as Great Xia, and it cannot be mass-produced.
Thirty cannons were placed on the walls of Da Nang City, and shells were also poured to strike at the enemy ships parked in the harbor, causing huge waves.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Because of the condescending position, although the number of artillery in Da Nang City was not comparable to that of the Yashan Fleet, it still caused a lot of trouble to the Yashan Fleet, and in the blink of an eye, three building ships were destroyed and slowly sank into the water.
The number of people who were hit by shells was countless.
There was no way, the port was too small, and the forty building ships of the first formation of the Yashan Fleet were arranged one after another, densely packed, and as long as the enemy gunners were not fools, they could easily hit the target.
Yu Dayou gave a death order, no one dared to retreat, facing the artillery fire at the head of the city, one battleship after another counterattacked, even if the battleship was paralyzed, as long as it was not sunk, it continued to bombard the city wall.
The ferocity of the enemy army made the defenders of Haiphong City feel terrified.
"It's a bunch of outlaws!"
Fan Tianming saw that the city wall was about to be lost, and in desperation, he began to arrange for the army to evacuate the city wall, preparing to fight the enemy to the death in the city.
He did not believe that after the enemy fleet came ashore, it would still be able to defeat the Third Army in street battles.
"Wow~~"
At this moment, a loud noise was heard from the south side of the city wall, and under the continuous bombardment of artillery, a large hole was finally blasted out of a section of the city wall, and then it collapsed.
For a moment, smoke and dust billowed out.
The soldiers standing on that section of the wall screamed and fell from the top of the city, and were then submerged in masonry, apparently dead.
In this way, Da Nang City is declared lost!
"Withdraw!" Fan Tianming no longer hesitated and led his troops to leave the city wall.
…………
Finally collapsed the city wall, Yu Dayou showed a relieved expression on his face, his head was saved.
Then it's the Army's turn.
As the Marines directly under the Yashan Fleet established a base at the wharf, the merchant ships carrying the Second Legion of the Praetorian Guard and the Second Army of the City Guard entered the port in turn and quickly landed and assembled.
Since the city of Da Nang was the focus of the attack, how could Bai Qi not arrange for the army to follow.
At the moment when the city wall collapsed, the fate of Da Nang City and the Third Army of Hai Phong City was already sealed, and what followed was only a fearless struggle, which could not control their respective fates after all.
"Charge!"
Huo Qubing led the cavalry along the blasted passage, braving smoke and fire, and took the lead in the city, even in the street battles in the city, the Praetorian Guards were fearless.
With their superb riding skills, they will only set off more monstrous killings.
"Kill!"
Mu Guiying led his subordinates to follow.
A bloody battle suddenly broke out in the city, and the people in the city trembled and did not dare to go out at all.
The fight lasted a day and a night.
Although the Third Army of Haiphong City was determined, it was unable to resist after all, and was defeated and retreated by the Great Xia Army. At night, Fan Tianming wanted to escape from the door, but Huo Qu fell ill.
As everyone knows, in addition to the cavalry that rushed into the city, Huo Qubing also ambushed two cavalry divisions outside the city early, waiting for the rabbit and annihilating the remnants of the enemy army in one fell swoop.
By the next morning, Da Nang had changed owners, and with the fall of Da Nang, Great Xia took the first stronghold in Annam.
According to the arrangement of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Mu Guiying's troops were stationed in Da Nang City, and Huo Qubing led his troops south, cooperating with the Yashan fleet to attack the city all the way, planning to take all the southern regions of Annam.
The Fourth Army Corps of Haiphong City, which was stationed in Embankment City, suddenly fell into an isolated and helpless situation.
Mu Guiying's troops stayed in Da Nang City naturally not as simple as defending the city, they also had heavy responsibilities and were a key part of the battle of Annam.
When the Yashan fleet left, it left two building ships in the harbor, and ten mimic aircraft were parked on the deck of the battleships, which were the secret weapons left for Mu Guiying's department.
Whether it succeeds or fails determines the direction of the entire battle to a certain extent.
…………
Annan, Lu Pingcheng.
Luping City is a county seat, located in the north of Haiphong City, adjacent to the Beibu Gulf, and close to the national border.
Almost as soon as the Yashan Fleet captured Da Nang City, the first formation of the Pacific Fleet was not to be outdone, and successfully captured this small northern city as the stronghold of the Great Xia Army in the north.
Shi Wansui, the deputy general of the expeditionary force, personally led the 1st, 3rd and 5th legions of the city guard, stationed in Luping City, responsible for sweeping the territory north of Annam.
Three legions are stationed in a county town, which shows that Bai Qi attaches great importance to the north and south of Annam, after all, both the royal city of Hanoi and Haiphong City are in the north, and this place is destined to be the main battlefield of the Battle of Annam.
…………
April 7, Hai Phong City.
Losing Da Nang City and Lu Binh City one after another, Ruan Tianque was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. In particular, the sudden fall of Da Nang City dealt a fatal blow to Nguyen Tien Que and completely disrupted the deployment of Hai Phong City.
"The Third Legion has fallen, and the Fourth Legion must not be fine!"
Two days ago, under the instigation of Nguyen Tien Que, the adventurer organized a large army of 500,000 people to go south, with two main objectives, one is to protect the south of An Nan, and the other is to protect the two field regiments of Haiphong City.
With the fall of the Third Army Corps, the Fourth Army is in danger, and the entire south of Annan is in the midst of war, and neither of the two goals can be achieved.
"Let's hope they live up to expectations!" Ruan Tianque muttered to himself.
It stands to reason that the army of 500,000 players cooperated with the Fourth Legion of Haiphong City, and the two legions of Great Xia could not stop it at all. Not to mention, the primary target of attack, Da Nang City, was only stationed with one field legion in Great Xia.
But somehow, Ruan Tianque always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
************
Handan City, China.
Just when Daxia dispatched a million-strong army to attack Annam, there were waves in the Chinese region again.
In April, the earth returns to spring, the ice and snow melt, and even the Central Plains and the northern land have already smelled the breath of spring, the frozen earth gradually thaws, the animals end hibernation, and the grass breaks through the soil, exuding vitality.
With the thawing of the earth, there is also the desire for war brewing in the depths of people's hearts, and the Central Plains, which has been calm for several months, has risen again.
The protagonist this time is [Yanhuang League].
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the six members of the [Yanhuang League] gathered in Handan City and declared: "Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is cruel and unkind, and harms the people, which is the poison of the world, and invites the people of the world to fight it together." ”
The title of the words is magnificent, and there is only one meaning: "[Yanhuang League] is going to make a move against Xichu!" ”
In order to connect the territories as soon as possible, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Great Xia expedition, Di Chen and others were willing to take the risk of "taking the initiative to provoke a civil war" and brazenly invaded Western Chu.
No wonder Emperor Chen is in a hurry, in the Battle of Annam, the Great Xia army is like a bamboo, and the good news is frequent, no one knows when the war will end, so Emperor Chen can't wait, so he can only take action as soon as possible.
In order to achieve a quick victory, the [Yanhuang Alliance] mobilized 400,000 troops, and put their respective territories in a precarious situation at once, and the border garrison dropped to a dangerous value.
If Great Xia had not used troops against Annan, Di Chen and the others would never have dared to take such a risk.
"Don't miss the opportunity, you won't miss it." Di Chen summed it up like this.
As soon as the news of [Yanhuang League] came out, the world immediately talked about it.
Some people accuse the [Yanhuang League] of taking the initiative to provoke a civil war when the national war is coming, which is really hateful.
There are also people who argue for the [Yanhuang League], saying that Western Chu is a wilderness aboriginal force, and it is not a civil war at all, "Conquering Western Chu, the strength of the [Yanhuang League] will not decline but rise, which is beneficial to the national war." ”
There is no reason for this.
"Western Chu is an ally of Great Xia, how can it not be considered a civil war?!" Someone retorted.
More people shouted for Da Xia, thinking that in order to earn a little more national honor points for China, Da Xia did not hesitate to spend millions of troops to fight outside the territory, which was singing and crying; [Yanhuang Alliance] attacked the allies of Great Xia at this time, which was really taking advantage of the danger of others, and it was not done by a gentleman, which was despised.
No matter which faction it is, they all hope that Da Xia can stand up and make a statement.
This is, of course, just wishful thinking on the part of the players, and as before, the summer palace is silent and has no intention of standing up and speaking at all.
Players are used to it.
Someone joked: "King Xia has always never moved his mouth when he can do it, how can this time be an exception." ”
No one believed that Great Xia would really be indifferent.
Regarding how Great Xia will deal with this time, there are various versions circulating in the market, some people say that Great Xia will fight on two fronts, and will not ignore the life and death of Western Chu; Some people also say that Daxia has a weak heart, so he can only swallow the bitter fruit silently.
At this time, there was gossip in Shanhai City, saying that King Xia had warned Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, as early as the previous year, but Xiang Yu was arrogant and unwilling to accept the assistance of Great Xia.
At this moment, the "truth" was immediately revealed.
Players can already foresee the next tragic fate of Xi Chu.
