Chapter 185: Drastic change in the Xia Kingdom! The world is shaken! Epoch-making invention!
Meanwhile, Chang Yu Chununched a frontal offensive very cooperatively!
He was attacking from the front and back!
This was also the strategy developed by the Great Deste Army at the very beginning!
Taking advantage of range and firepower under siege, no matter how many Cao Meng’s army was, it was just a living target and this battle was also the first time that the Great Deste Army used more than a hundred cannons!
This was thetest technology of the research team, thetest cannon!
Its longest range was over ten kilometers.
During this time, on the entire several kilometers of the battlefield, cannons were being fired.
There were all kinds of rumbling sounds.
Cao Meng’s army fled in panic after being bombed and couldn’t even organize a formation.
Not to mentionunching a counterattack, one could say, the equipment and weapons of the Great Deste Army at this time were more than an entire era aheadpared with Cao Meng’s army.
The main weapon of Cao Meng’s army was still the shotgun while the Great Deste Army was all loaded with rifles.
A simple defense line was set up on the high ground in the rear to stop the retreat of Cao Meng’s army!
This battle was known in history as the “Battle of Chibi”, which was anticlimactic.
Just at the beginning, the whole world was watching.
It was thought that it would be an exceptionally fierce battle.
However, when hundreds of cannons of the Great Deste Army sted down, Cao Meng’s army copsed in the first round!
It instantly fell apart.
Everyone was running around and trying to dodge this terrifying firepower!
Cao Meng was standing in his tent.
He looked nkly at the sky-high mes and the soldiers fleeing in all directions!
It was as if they had lost their minds.
An army of 100,000!
An entire army of 100,000!
Just lost?!
“My Lord, retreat.”
Guo Jia came with a team of a thousand people.
This was thest remnant of the soldiers nearby, regardless of Cao Meng, who was still in a daze.
The guards directly dragged Cao Meng to escape!
……
A night of fire passed.
The next morning, on the several kilometers of the battlefield, there were charred corpses all over the ce.
The most dead ones were the periphery of the defensive line guarded by Le Yi.
Cao Meng’s army frantically attacked this line of defensest night but with enough firepower, it fell down 50 meters away!
Cao Meng’s army in the rear then copsed.
One by one, they threw their guns and surrendered.
Among 100,000 troops, there were more than 30,000 casualties, more than 20,000 fled to the nearby mountains and forests and most of the rest surrendered.
“Where is Cao Meng?”
After hearing the situation of the battle, Chang Yu Chun asked.
“Report, Cao Meng has been captured.”
A soldier’s excited voice rang out from the outside.
Chang Yu Chun and others were shocked.
After careful questioning, they found out that this kid Zhao Zilong did a good job.
This time Zhao Zilong figured out Han Xin’s actions on the card.
He also secretly wanted to do a big job, so he led an ambush at the exit of a mountain forest.
Sure enough, after waiting until Cao Meng escaped, he directly captured him alive!
So far, the Battle of Chibi was over, and Cao Mengfang was defeated in one fell swoop!
Northwestpletely changed hands.
As the news went out, the world was shaken!
Everyone was shocked.
This was followed by a chill that prated to the bone!
In three days, they defeated Li Tang in Guanzhong and Cao Meng in the northwest!
Originally this was the real strength of the Great Deste Army.
The remaining three main forces were trembling!
The various strategists under them were in intense discussion.
They were preparing to think of some strategies to defend against the Great Deste Army!
However, the Great Deste Army moved faster than they thought.
On the same day that the Battle of Red Cliff began, in the Southeast region, the 10,000 soldiers of the Great Deste Army led by Xu Tiandeunched an offensive against Zhu Chongba!
The target was the fertile southeastern ins.
Thirty thousand troops were stationed there but the result was no surprise.
They scattered in all directions, throwing their armor!
The Great Deste Army quickly pursued all the way to the main city under the rule of Zhu Chongba: Jiankang City!
“Militarymander, what is the current situation?”
Zhu Chongba stood on the city wall.
Looking out at the dark mass of the Great Deste Army.
He was also a little panicked. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He hurriedly asked Liu Tianji beside him.
Liu Tianji’s face was calm but his heart was also trembling!
This……
The speed of the Great Deste Army was too fast.
It simply gave them no time to react.
“The destiny cannot be vited.”
Liu Tianji pinched his fingers for a while, then directly shook his head.
He ignored Zhu Chongba’s shouts and went straight back to his residence.
It didn’t take long until his subordinates discovered that Liu Tianji took poison and killed himself.
The Great Deste Army only besieged Jiankang City and did notunch an attack.
Siege warfare.
