Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 836: Red Cannon
The Xia army, the Ming army, and a million armies fought a decisive battle in western Liaoning.
Chutian let Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu serve as the left and right flanks, and personally confronted the Liaodong Army at Mingguan.
The Ming army on the opposite side could not see the end at a glance, and the darkness was overwhelming.
In the whole of East Asia, except Chutian, Mingguan has the most powerful cavalry army.
"300,000, or 400,000?"
The last time Chutian fought against a cavalry of this size, the enemy was Genghis Khan Temujin.
Now, Chutian once again faced the massive cavalry.
On the opposite side, there are many cavalry such as Guanning cavalry, Hongwu cavalry, Longcheng cavalry and so on.
Chutian's Imperial Guard Corps consists of Shenji Battalion and Women's Corps as the central army.
Ekaterina's reinforcements serve as reserves.
"The red cannons of the Qing army..."
Chutian already knew Mingguan's trump card in advance.
The red cannon is an imitation of the naval gun used by Western warships in the 16th century, and can cause considerable damage to wooden boards.
If you are hit, the consequences can be imagined.
However, Mingguan may not have the production drawings of the red-clothed cannon, and it is very likely that it is only a consumable item.
After all, Chutian has not heard of any lord possessing this special firearm.
As a player, Chutian is naturally in awe of firearms.
The two armies spread out, and both sides entered the army, both looking for opportunities.
Teams of soldiers and horses occupy dangerous terrain and face each other.
30 red-clothed cannons were set up in Mingguan at a higher place. The Qing army artillerymen were deployed in the artillery position by Mingguan. The general of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou, obtained from the Battle of Songjin, led a team of infantry and cavalry, and was responsible for protecting artillery.
"With Chu Zimou's character, once the red-clothed artillery becomes powerful, he will not wait to dispatch a cavalry to attack the artillery position."
When Mingguan deployed the red-clothed cannon, he seemed to have foreseen what would happen in the future.
In all likelihood, Chutian cavalry will use cold weapons to harvest artillery positions.
The relatively primitive red-clothed cannon was attacked by the cavalry, and the artilleryman could not fight meleely.
"Kong Youde, you and Hong Chengchou guard the red-clothed cannon together. The Han army's eight banners, four of which are handed over to you."
In order to protect the red-clothed artillery, Mingguan sent about 40,000 troops to Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde, which could both guard the artillery position and serve as an attacking force.
Hong Chengchou was the chief general of the Ming army in the Battle of Songjin. Although he was not a first-rate general such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, he was also a second-rate general.
The red-clothed artillery was deployed on the flank, and Hong Chengchou looked out at the Xia Army position not far away.
In the battle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, the red-clothed cannons will definitely not be able to cover the entire battlefield, and may only threaten tens of thousands of people. Therefore, Mingguan did not fully expect thirty red-clothed cannons to decide the outcome.
These thirty red-clothed cannons were used by Mingguan to deal with the Xia army on the right, that is, Cao Cao's army.
Murong Ba and Murong Ke led the troops of the Murong Xianbei tribe and served as the main force, and the red-clothed artillery provided shock and cover.
"How powerful is the red cannon?"
Although the Murong Xianbei tribe represented by Murong Ba and Murong Ke had rebellion against them, they were always afraid of the pressure of Mingguan and did not dare to rebel.
Now Mingguan suddenly came up with a hole card, shocking the Xianbei cavalry.
Murong Xianbei had never seen a red-clothed cannon, and could only see dozens of cold, hollow bronze cannons aimed in the direction of Xia Jun.
This is a firearm from the late Ming Dynasty. It has not been used since Mingguan brought it back.
"It is said that any general who is hit by the red cannon in the front will be killed in all likelihood."
Murongba still has confidence in his own strength, but Mingguan's words shocked Murongba. Even if he was standing in front of the red-clothed cannon, if he was attacked by the red-clothed cannon, he would probably die immediately.
"The opposite seems to be Cao Mengde's tiger and leopard riding."
Murong Ke was always watching the Xia Jun on the opposite side.
A familiar opponent.
Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry competes with the Murong family's Longcheng iron cavalry, and the two sides are like water and fire.
The combination of Cao Cao, Xun You, and Guo Jia, Murong Ba and Murong Ke, went back and forth, and it was difficult for anyone to achieve significant results.
"Dragon City Iron Cavalry and Tiger Leopard Cavalry are in the same league, and we can only hope that the red-clothed cannon can open up the situation."
Just as Cao Cao had a headache for Murong Ba's Longcheng Iron Cavalry, Murong Ba was also very afraid of Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Cao Cao didn't know how unlucky he would be.
Cao Cao received an order from Chutian, who asked all generals to guard against the red-clothed cannons of the Ming army.
"What red cannon?"
Cao Cao was at a loss when he received the order.
Cao Cao had already seen the matchlock guns of the Shenji Camp, but the Shenji Camp was not equipped with bronze cannons, so most generals of the Chutian forces did not know the existence of the red-clothed cannons.
"I heard that it is a firearm that is more powerful than a bed crossbow. Since the lord wants us to be more prepared, we must be careful."
Guo Jia followed Cao Cao from Jixian to western Liaoning. It was precisely because Guo Jia and Xun You were advising Cao Cao that Cao Cao was not framed by Murong Ke.
Cao Cao disagreed: "Murong Ba's Dragon City Iron Cavalry and Murong Ke's Serial Iron Horse are more threatening than these red-clothed cannons. The formation of the square is indestructible, and the two iron cavalry cooperate with each other to traverse the world, even the tiger and leopard cavalry are invincible."
Cao Cao suffered a lot under Murong Ba and Murong Ke.
Even Ranmin, the king of Wu Mourning, couldn't break through Murong Ke's iron horse, which shows the defensive power of the iron horse.
Murong Ba is the sharpest spear of the Xianbei tribe, and Murong Ke is the strongest shield.
In terms of scale, Cao Cao's words are not bad, because the direct casualties caused by dozens of red-clothed cannons to the Xia army are definitely not as good as tens of thousands of high-level heavy cavalry.
Dozens of red-clothed cannons could injure thousands of Xia troops at most, and the cavalry of Murong Ba and Murong Ke could completely inflict tens of thousands of casualties to the Xia army.
"However, the red-clothed cannon shouldn't be that simple. Could it be a tenth-tier unit?"
Chutian deployed the entire decisive battle position at a high place, arranging troops.
The red-clothed cannon possessed by Mingguan, in Chutian's view, does not seem to be simple.
In Lords, each class has its own panels and characteristics.
If it is the same as reality, dozens of bronze cannons are indeed not enough to change the outcome of the battle of millions of soldiers.
However, it is precisely because each class has its own abilities that this is the scary part.
Even the iron-clad war elephants are classified into ninth-order arms by the system, with characteristics such as "defense specialization" and "rage".
The red-clothed cannon is theoretically a class, and the gunner of the red-clothed cannon is likely to be a tenth-tier arm.
Chu Tian has not seen the tenth rank.
"Wait, if I defeat Mingguan, maybe this batch of red-clothed cannons will fall into my hands... It would be great if I could get the blueprints, production buildings, and corresponding arms of the red-clothed cannons."
Chu Tian couldn't help but envy this elite army.
The Chutian forces are not short of cavalry, nor are they short of infantry, but have a lot of demand for long-range units.
It is said that the United States of America, a civilized region, is famous for its firearms.
If Chutian wanted to defeat the American civilization, he naturally needed a batch of firearms as long-range arms to check and balance.
Although the red-clothed cannon is an imitation of European-style marine artillery, after all, it has been localized and is one of the top firearms in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"It's unbelievable that there is a lord in the Eastern Han District who has obtained artillery."
Ekaterina was a little disbelieving when she learned that the enemy army on the opposite side had artillery.
The first lord to get artillery appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was obtained by the Eastern Han lord in the form of a copy of the loot.
"It seems that I underestimated the last epic battle, and many lords got some interesting things..."
Probably because the battle of Kunyang followed Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, it went too smoothly, so Chutian disapproved of the fifth epic battle.
In fact, each lord can always get some strange props and rewards because of the different civilizations and periods of the dungeons involved.
The trait "Son of the Plane" acquired by Chu Tian is also considered to be a strange trait. It is one of the strangest traits in "Lord" and has no clear effect.
In addition to Chutian and Mingguan, other lords actually got some strange things.
"What reward did you get in the last epic battle?"
Chutian suddenly became interested in the battle that Catherine was involved in.
Ekaterina is also a high lord and is eligible to participate in the fifth epic battle, so it stands to reason that Ekaterina should also have a reward.
"It's a secret."
Ekaterina did not answer Chutian directly.
Chu Tian frowned slightly.
He hasn't had a chance to see Ekaterina's panel until now.
Ekaterina, as the Tsarist Empress of Russia, should be quite exaggerated, at least not as simple as the surface.
In the future, I have to find a way to explore Ekaterina's bottom.
"Mingguan will deploy the red-clothed cannons in the middle, or on the flanks? It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, the eastern army liked to deploy bronze artillery in front of the central army, bombarding the opponent's morale, and then advancing on foot. Like to have bronze cannons on the flanks."
Mingguan's deployment of the army is a secret, and even Chutian's spies cannot obtain the deployment of the Ming army, so they can only guess where the red-clothed cannons deployed by Mingguan are based on the situation.
Mingguan is a player, so he won't rigidly use Eastern or Western habits, which is more elusive.
This is why, in many civilized areas, players dominate, because players take advantage of it to a large extent.
Players in the Eastern Han region do not necessarily only use Eastern tactics, sometimes they also use Western tactics, or tactics of nomadic civilization.
The Xia Army and Ming Army continued to assemble, and all the main armies were already in formation.
The battlefield in western Liaoning was chilling.
In Lone Bamboo City, the defender Sun Chuanting noticed that the Xia army's offensive suddenly slowed down. He was keenly aware that his lord Mingguan was about to fight King Xia to the death, otherwise the Xia army, who had been attacking Lone Bamboo City recently, would not suddenly Stop siege.
Both the siege troops of the Xia Army and the defenders of Lone Bamboo City are all waiting for the outcome of the decisive battle.
The winner of the decisive battle has everything, and the loser has nothing.
At this time, the ownership of Lone Bamboo City is no longer important, and the decisive battle is the key.
Geng Yan and Cheng Yu, who were in charge of attacking the inner city of Lone Bamboo City, stopped their offensive and confronted Sun Chuanting, waiting anxiously at the same time.
Except for the two, the other generals were basically transferred to participate in the decisive battle.
"This battle may decide the ownership of the northern part of the Han Empire. If the lord wins, then it is basically only a matter of time to pacify Liaodong and Guanzhong. Liaodong may collapse due to the failure of this battle."
As a strategist, Cheng Yu is very clear about the situation.
Of the three major princes in the north, two of them will fight decisively, and the victor will be even stronger.
The Xia army lost a lot of troops and horses in order to storm Liaodong City, in order to lure the Liaodong army of Mingguan into a quick frontal battle.
In addition to the princes within the Han Empire, the lords of other civilized areas are also constantly paying attention to the progress of the Northern War of the Han Empire.
They don't want the Han Empire to have a big conqueror so soon, otherwise the civilization around the Han Empire ~IndoMTL.com~ will be under too much pressure.
In the waters of the Luzon Kingdom, the newly appointed Shogun, Oda Nobunaga, commanded the Toyo Navy Division, attacked the Luzon Kingdom's royal city Manila, and had a battle with the Luzon Kingdom Navy Division.
Two medium-sized civilizations clashed beside the suzerain, and the suzerain was in a civil war, and could not intervene in the war between them for a while.
The Shimadzu family samurai from Kyushu Island chopped down the Luzon soldiers on the deck. Shimadzu family knives carried a samurai sword and killed dozens of people in a row, almost cleaning half of the deck by himself.
The warships of Dongying and Luzon are not comparable to the warships of the Han Empire, but the two civilizations are tit-for-tat against Maimang, and neither can benefit from the size of the ships.
The expedition force sent by the Oda shogunate, but with the bravery of the samurai, defeated the fleet of the Luzon Kingdom in a battle.
Oda Nobunaga stood on the largest Atakuya ship, the blazing fire on the sea reflected in his eyes.
He is not an opponent of the Han Empire, so he can only bring the great names of Eastern Ying to bully Luzon and divert the internal conflicts in the civilized area.
It is a common method used by lords to launch wars abroad and divert domestic conflicts.
In the Kingdom of Macedonia, Alexander is also concerned about what he considers the most powerful opponent, Chutian.
"West Liaoning of the Han Empire... If one day, I can expedition to western Liaoning, and then I can be called a great emperor."
Alexander learned from the player that Western Liaoning is tens of thousands of miles away from Macedonia, and the only way to expedition to Western Liaoning is to use the teleportation array.
