"After approaching 500 meters, the artillery fire advances to cover!"

Shooting at the maximum range, the hit rate cannot be guaranteed, it is a waste of ammunition, let's start bombing from 500 meters!

After a while, the elephant soldiers rushed to a position 500 meters away from the position.

"Fire!"

Hundreds of artillery salvos were fired, and the shells were placed at a position of 500 meters to cover the position.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of shells hit the front of the elephant soldiers, a violent explosion rushed up, smoke filled the air, flames churned, and flying shrapnel and soil and gravel swept all directions.

All of a sudden, the elephant soldiers turned their backs on their backs and wiped out a large area.

The next moment, the second round of shelling came down again.

Large pits were blasted on the ground, and the corpses of war elephants and elephant soldiers fell down.

The continuous bombardment and intensive artillery fire bombarded the elephant soldiers, causing huge damage.

Except for a very few panicked war elephants who rushed towards Lu Li's position and were shot and killed by the infantry on the way, most of the war elephants turned around and ran away.

The elephant soldiers in front turned around and fled, while the elephant soldiers in the rear were still charging, and the two sides collided, and there was a sudden chaos.

"The gunfire advances!"

Seeing this, Lu Li quickly ordered.

In the next moment, hundreds of cannons, starting at a distance of 500 meters, extended their bombardment forward, all the way to a maximum range of 2000 meters.

Under such a violent blow, the collapse of the elephant soldiers is inevitable.

Ruan Gan was also very shocked by the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army. He couldn't understand why the artillery shells of the Ming army still exploded.

Seeing the chaos in the formation of the elephant soldiers, Ruan Gan secretly rejoiced that there were no infantry behind the elephant soldiers to follow and charge, and the battle formations were relatively far apart. Otherwise, these frantically running elephants would have helped the Ming army trample countless people to death of.

"The elephant soldiers gather their troops and charge again."

Ruan Gan saw that the two sword-and-shield soldiers attacking the Ming army's flanks were already close to the Ming army's position and were about to launch an attack. Their attack would inevitably restrain the Ming army's artillery fire. It must be irresistible.

After a while, the elephant soldiers finally gathered their troops and assembled again.

The two sword and shield soldiers who went around the flank of the Ming army also approached the Ming army's position and were ready to attack.

"Elephant soldiers attack!"

With an order, the elephant soldiers assembled again and charged towards Lu Li's position again.

The sword and shield soldiers on the flanks also shouted, raised their shields, raised their machetes, and rushed towards the army formation from both wings.

"This time, let's see how you block it!"

Ruan Gan looked at the battle formation ahead, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Things happened exactly as Ruan Gan expected. When the sword and shield soldiers on the two wings charged, the artillery of the Ming army turned around and blasted towards the sword and shield soldiers.

Without artillery blocking, the elephant soldiers will surely be able to flatten the Ming army's position!

Ruan Gan was full of confidence.

However...he could never have expected that the two sword and shield troops attacking from the flank would collapse so quickly.

Under the intensive bombardment of artillery and the intensive shooting of rifles, two sword and shield soldiers, each composed of 2 people, collapsed in the blink of an eye.

The cold weapon troops lined up in a dense formation and charged collectively are completely live targets in front of rifles and artillery.

With a rifle rate of fire of fifteen rounds per minute, blows like a violent storm burst out in just one minute.

The artillery fire rate of six rounds per minute almost plowed the phalanx of swords and shields.

In just a few minutes, the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers attacking from the flanks was blown up in an instant.

Except for some of the rout soldiers screaming and fleeing frantically, most of the sword and shield soldiers turned into corpses.

At this time, the elephant soldiers charging for the second time were still more than 500 meters away from Lu Li's position.

Although the speed of an elephant is not as fast as that of a war horse, it takes two or three minutes to cover a distance of 500 meters.

However...the distance of 500 meters is a natural moat that cannot be crossed.

Hundreds of artillery bombarded non-stop, as if to tear everything in front of them.

More than 1 rifles fired intensively, and the howling bullets were like a storm.

For such a huge target as an elephant, it is still a group charge in a dense formation, and it is impossible to miss it with your eyes closed.

Even if an elephant is hit by a [-]mm rifle bullet, it will suffer heavy damage, let alone more than one or two rounds.

The charge of the elephant soldiers was cut off in an instant, and the extended artillery fire exploded from 500 meters to 2000 meters.There are only countless corpses on the charge road, and there are no living things anymore.

Of the [-] sword and shield soldiers, only a few hundred escaped.Out of ten thousand war elephants, only a thousand survived.

Under World War I, the 20 army lost [-]. (Elephant soldiers, one elephant and three people)

Ruan Gan's eyes widened, his whole body was stiff, and his face was ashen.

Is such a Ming Dynasty really something we can fight against?

Such an opponent cannot be defeated at all!

The entire army cannot be lost here. Once the 20 army is wiped out, the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty will cease to exist.

"Ming Jin retreats! Retreat!"

Although he knew that after this order was issued, Ruan Gan's political future and life would end when he returned to the court, but he still issued the order to withdraw troops.

It's a pity...it's too late!

"Dudu..."

On the Jinlan River behind him, twenty destroyers lined up and blocked the river.A naval gun on the ship's side was aimed at the rear of the Cochin army.

"Fire!"

With one order, the naval guns fired!

Dense shells smashed into the rear of the Cochin army like a torrential rain.

Flames billowed, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the violent explosion instantly wiped out a large part of the Cochin army's rear formation.

Finished!

Seeing this scene, Ruan Gan spat out a mouthful of blood and fell on his back.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

On the rear position, a trumpeter of the Ming army, standing under the banner of the sun and the moon fluttering high, blew the hasty charge!

"Kill it!"

Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers in black clothes rushed out of the trenches shouting, armed with rifles with three-edged bayonets inserted.

There was no way out, and there was a follow-up, and the leading general had already vomited blood and fell into a coma, and the Jiaozhi army was in chaos.

"Surrender without killing!"

This burst of shouts seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Cochin army formation collapsed instantly, and countless people dropped their knives and guns and knelt down and surrendered.

In the First World War, he defeated 20 Jiaozhi troops, wiped out 13 enemies, captured [-] prisoners, and captured countless soldiers and supplies.

Another shocking victory!

Lu Li felt helpless.There are too many prisoners!

These prisoners must not stay in Cam Ranh Bay, they must be transported out.

In the next few days, Lu Li dispatched a transport fleet to load the captives and send them to Bay Island, Qiongzhou, Da Nang and Champa, which was just occupied by the squadron.

A group of "labourers" were transported from Da Nang and Champa to Cam Ranh Bay to serve as builders of Cam Ranh Bay.

After destroying these 20 troops, the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty is already an empty shell.

Lu Li left 2000 people to garrison Cam Ranh Bay, and led the remaining 8000 people to head inland.

Three days later, the army arrived at Shenglong City, and Li Weining, the emperor of the Li Dynasty, went to the emperor's clothes and emperor's title to plead guilty to Huating Marquis Luli as King Yi'an of the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Li took King Nghe An into custody for the crime of "disrespecting the emperor and committing disobedience to his superiors", along with members of the royal family and major civil and military officials of the Li Dynasty.

Another [-] soldiers were left to garrison Shenglong City. Lu Li took [-] soldiers and horses and King Yi'an's surrender order, and marched northward, arriving at Laizhou City at the junction of Jiaozhi and southern Yunnan.

After Lu Li showed King Yi'an's surrender order, the Laizhou guard surrendered.

After occupying Laizhou Chengguan, all Laizhou defenders were disarmed and imprisoned. Lu Li sent troops to send a letter to Qian Guogong Mu Chaobi, announcing that Jiaozhi had been leveled, and asked Qian Guogong to send troops to garrison Jiaozhi.

When Mu Chaobi, Duke of Qian, received Lu Li's letter, he couldn't believe it was true.

"You said... Marquis Huating has pacified Jiaozhi?"

Mu Chaobi raised his eyes and looked at the sergeant in black who delivered the letter, "Isn't Marquis Huating fighting Japanese pirates in the South China Sea? How did he reach Jiaozhi? Besides, how could the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Li dynasty of Jiaozhi be defeated so easily? "

"My Lord Hou is in Laizhou City, Jiaozhi. You can ask my Lord Hou in person."

The sergeant in black replied with a smile.

"He even occupied Laizhou City?"

Mu Chaobi's eyes widened, "Mamaipi! Hou Huating even took down Laizhou City, what else do I have to do? Get a hammer!"

Afterwards, Mu Chaobi hurried to Laizhou City with his bodyguard cavalry and the black-clothed sergeant.

Sure enough, the brightly colored sun and moon banner hung high above the gate of Laizhou City.

After rushing into Chengguan and talking with Lu Li, Mu Chaobi realized that Lu Li had fought from Champa in the south to Laizhou City in the north. Jiaozhi, Annan and Champa all belonged to Daming!

Fuck!This is how to open up the frontier and expand the land for three thousand miles!

You Huating Marquis, I'm afraid you are going to become the Duke of the State!

Chapter 4

At the beginning of April in the 42nd year of Jiajing.

Luli, Marquis of Huating and Mu Chaobi, Lord of the State of Qian, jointly played the concert.

Since August of the 41st year of Jiajing, the Japanese pirates went southward, harassing the Ming Dynasty's Jiaozhi, Annan and Champa, burning, killing and looting, causing disasters everywhere.

Huating Marquis was invited by King Nghe An, King Hue and King Champa to lead an army into the country to put down the Japanese pirates.After one month of fighting, the Japanese invasion in Jiaozhi, Annan and Champa has all been pacified.

Because of living in the frontier for a long time, it is difficult to see the sky, and I want to lead the royal family members back to the capital to settle in the Ming Dynasty, and ask the imperial court to send officials to take care of the military and state affairs in the three places of Annan and Champa. palm.

Along with this memorial, there are also the memorials of King Yi'an, King Hue, and King Champa. The meaning is the same as what Lu Li said, all of which are to express gratitude to the great tomorrow, and request to attach it.

Of course it is to thank Da Mingen!It was a blessing from heaven not to be killed on the spot!

In Yanjing City.

After receiving the memorials from the Marquis of Huating and Duke Qian, and the memorials from the three kings of Jiaozhi, Annan and Champa, all the bigwigs in the court looked at each other in blank dismay.

Everyone is a discerning person, whoever believes in this kind of vain superficial article is an idiot.

There is only one real reason, and that is... Hou Huating defeated Jiaozhi, Annan and Champa!

Fuck!You fucking beat down the three places of Cochin Annan Champa?

It is an unrivaled feat to expand the territory and expand the land for three thousand miles!

It's just that... a few months ago, Lu Li banned Haijiang for rectification, and no one in the court, from the elder Xu Ge down, had any good impressions of Lu Li.

No one would want Lu Li to have this extraordinary feat of opening up territories.

"Arbitrarily provoking sidelines, this is a serious crime!"

Someone immediately charged Lu Li with a crime.

"What about side provocations? The three places of Cochin have been shot down, and the fight is over. Where is the side provocation?"

It is indeed a serious crime to start a war without authorization.But...is there a war?Hou Huating finished the fight himself, where did the war come from?

"Sending troops without permission to attack the Ming vassals is also a serious crime!"

Someone charged Lu Li again.

"The Three Kings of Cochin made a petition to ask Huating Hou to send troops to fight against the Japanese. Now, after Huating Hou quelled the Japanese invasion in the three places, the three kings are grateful for the grace of heaven and request to be attached. Where did they come to attack the Daming vassals?"
