Chapter 784 Farewell to Zhao Shimai and the Du Mu Siblings

    

d and looked up, it was Fang Chen.Fang Chen smiled and said, "The next bolt of lightning, we will withstand it together.""Ah bah!"The golden egg said anxiously.It can resist heavenly thunder because o...Meanwhile, Chai Rong led a large army from Yizhou and advanced to Jianzhou.

Jianzhou in the past was Xingzhou, Xingyuan Prefecture, and then became the heart of Dayan, the capital city!

Li Cunxu sat in Xingshou, where he had prepared an army of 250,000.

Faced with Chai Rong's 200,000 army, Li Cunxu felt a sense of inadequacy.

At this time, he was no longer young. His white hair and weathered face made him look particularly weary.

"Report, General. Chai Rong's army has begun its advance again. It is now only fifty miles from us."

"Re-inspect, put the whole army on high alert!"

Soon, the scouts reported again, "General, they are clearing our landmines and traps, it seems they have no intention of advancing."

Li Cunxu frowned. Chai Rong's actions didn't seem like a major offensive, but rather a delay tactic.

And the mines they planted were all cleared by the other side using a mine detector.

On the contrary, some clay mines can avoid being cleaned by the opponent. However, these special clay mines are easy to produce, but not easy to make.

The most important thing is the ratio of gunpowder.

If you produce too much, the cost is high. If you produce too little, the impact is not enough.

However, money is not something to consider right now.

Relying on this earthenware canister bomb, it did indeed inflict considerable casualties on the Ming army.

But, the Ming people had a weapon called a "tank." This thing was surrounded by thick steel and could crush trenches, barbed wire, and machine gun positions under its tracks.

That thing looks cumbersome, but it's a weapon they lack.

Li Cunxu's successive defeats were largely due to the disadvantage he faced with regard to tanks.

He doesn't understand how the people of the Ming Dynasty managed to create such strange and unusual weapons.

Machine guns can't penetrate it, ceramic landmines can't destroy it, and barbed wire under the enemy's tracks just rips it apart.

Only large-caliber cannons could destroy it.

Don't forget, the other side still has fighter jets.

First-generation fighter jets, in conjunction with second-generation fighter jets, deliver damage that is difficult for them to resist.

When the bombing started, they could only hide.

At this point, it is extremely difficult to exert pressure on the enemy, unless you are willing to give your life.

Li Cun Gong sighed. The stronger the Ming dynasty became, the more he regretted his actions.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has revealed all its cards, they have completely overwhelmed their opponents. They have no way to fight back. I wonder what secret weapons Qin Mo still has up his sleeve.

You absolutely cannot let it happen again. If that were to occur, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.

Just when Li Cunxu was having a headache, in the Ming army camp, tanks were cooperating with reconnaissance soldiers to clear landmines.

A vast amount of land mines indeed slowed down the march speed.

Chai Rong couldn't understand, if these landmines weren't cleared, they would be left behind in the future, and who knows which unlucky fellow would trigger them.

So, for the sake of the soldiers and for the future generations, this place must also be cleaned up.

As for tanks, they are another mysterious unit of the Ming Dynasty.

Many years ago, research has already been conducted.

After the invention of the internal combustion engine, tanks gained a heart, capable of propelling this heavy behemoth forward.

However, it took this fellow nearly three years to pass the test.

Qin Mo's appearance accelerated the technological progress of this world, saving a lot of detours.

These things that take hundreds of years to appear have emerged in just over twenty years.

This is the high-end product of the national talent's hard work.

If they can't manage to open the situation smoothly, then they must just be too unskilled.

However, the number of these tanks was not large. Chai Rong only had thirty in his possession, and each one cost as much as 15,000 silver taels.

He didn't know how many Daming had, but in his view, the unveiling of the secret weapon meant that the warehouse was already overflowing.

This number might have already exceeded three digits.

A mobile tank is simply a moving steel fortress.

Large-caliber artillery shells are nothing short of instruments of death.

Chai Rong was in a good mood. Perhaps the wisest decision he'd ever made was giving up that manor all those years ago.

If it weren't for that one time, he would never have met Qin Mo in his life.

Taking down the Great Qin dynasty can be considered a thorough revenge for my older brother.

However, he still has to wait for Qin Hei and others.

He would bide his time, waiting until Qin Hei had absorbed the entirety of Nanfan, and then launch a three-pronged attack to utterly exhaust Dagan's reserves.

Qin Mo's command was to thoroughly sweep through and eliminate all unstable areas.

Of course, it was not indiscriminate killing of civilians, but rather a further weakening of the remaining influence of those landed gentry.

In the future, Great Qin will have no landed gentry or aristocratic class. This will be a world where everyone is as capable as a dragon.

He just thought about Qin Mo's words, and he felt energized all over.

.......

On the other side, Qin Hei and Qin Tian, after some coordination, sent troops to Su Bi.

Su Pi Mo Jie had left Dayan, but Su Pi Nation remained a unique entity. Its national lineage persisted, standing on par with Nanfan.

And when Su Bi Mo Jie left, Su Bi found himself in a rather awkward situation. Rebellion was therefore understandable at this time.

And the people of Su Bi kingdom, from beginning to end, only recognized Su Bi Mo Jie's rule.

After taking over the city defenses of Su Bi, the group continued their journey non-stop to Tubo.

After taking down the Tubo, one could march south and directly besiege the capital of Dayan.

Or, continue to encircle and attack Longyou.

Qin Hei and Qin Tian discussed it for a while, but they still decided to continue north, thoroughly defeating the forces in Longyou and cutting off Li Qian's retreat.

After Wei Chi Shuxiong retreated to Tubo for the third month, Qin He led an army of 100,000 men and arrived at Tubo.

After three days of fierce fighting, the Tujue were completely defeated.

Wei Chi Shuxiong was captured.

When captured, Wei Chi Shuxiong initially wanted to commit suicide and die for his country, emulating Liu Gui, but he was stopped by his close confidants.

"You son of a bitch, what are you stopping me for"

That confidant didn't say anything, just said: "Losing is losing. There's no need to commit suicide. My lord, I have followed you my whole life. I have seen all kinds of storms and waves, but suicide is the most cowardly act."

“You, you’re trying to ruin me! From now on, I’ll stink for eternity!” Wei Chi Xinxiong roared angrily.

"The decline of the Great Reign is self-inflicted, and moreover, the young master has died in battle, the Wei clan has served the country and the monarch with all their loyalty."

This capture is not due to the Duke's lack of ability, but rather to the harshness of the virtuous ruler.

"The governor shouldn't just consider himself, but also the Wei family, their wife and children," that confidante said with a bitter face. "Great Qi, the situation is gone, Nanfan has been lost, Liaodong has been lost, Lingnan has been lost, why bother to die for a dying dynasty"

Wei Chi Xinxiong was speechless. He wanted to retort, but his eyes were filled with bewilderment, "Great Qin, is it truly gone"

Once upon a time, Daqian was still the peerless and indomitable Daqian in his heart.

How could this have happened in just a few years!

Wei Chi Xinxiong, in a fit of rage, was struck by the force of his own attack and spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing unconscious!cultivator panicked instantly, realizing he was no match for Fang Chen!"What are you still standing there for! Charge! If he doesn't die, we don't live!" He roared."Kill!"The other two, hearing this,...
