Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

As more and more Dongchuan troops jumped into the trenches, the living space of Sakura Country soldiers was further squeezed.

Especially those Dongchuan soldiers armed with light machine guns jumped into the trenches. They didn't care how many people there were on the other side. They raised their hands and aimed a shuttle in the direction of the Sakura Country soldiers.

The Sakura Kingdom soldiers who were hit fell to the ground one after another.

After successfully capturing a trench, the rest is much simpler. All you need to do is follow the trench and clear out the remaining Sakura Country soldiers.

Two hours later, all the positions outside Monkal City fell into the hands of the Dongchuan Army. Excluding the injured soldiers, there were only more than a hundred soldiers from the two regiments of Sakura Kingdom stationed outside the city, and less than two hundred surrendered.

The remaining Sakura Kingdom soldiers were all wiped out.

While successfully seizing the outer positions, the Sakura Nation soldiers in the city also fired all their artillery shells.

At this time, it can be said that the Hashimoto brigade remaining in Monkal City will no longer have artillery support.

Hashimoto Hongchuan could only watch as the Dongchuan Army's artillery smashed into the city round after round.

Since they knew in advance that there were no civilians in the city, the Dongchuan army had no scruples and just fired artillery into the city.

Not to mention civilians of the Cherry Blossom Country, after suffering the losses of the Sakura Country expatriates on the Goryeo battlefield, Fan Shaozeng had already included the Sakura Country expatriates in the order of battle.

He still remembers that on the battlefield of Goryeo, Fan Shaozeng saw that those who attacked them were immigrants from the Sakura Kingdom. He did not immediately give the order to fire.

Only then did a large number of Sakura Country residents armed with cold weapons invade the Dongchuan Army's position.

It caused a large number of casualties to the Dongchuan Army.

Since then, Fan Shaozeng has included the Sakura Country expatriates in the battle order. When he sees these fanatical Sakura Country expatriates on the battlefield, he will choose to open fire when they get close to his position.

As for whether his behavior would be reprimanded by the Imperial Military Department.

Fan Shaozeng wouldn't care at all. In his own words, the military had to reprimand him for too many things. How could killing a few Sakura Country expats be nothing?

Besides, at least he knew more or less about Prince Rui's attitude towards these expats from Wang Hongchang's mouth.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he conveyed a meaning behind the words, don't care about the casualties of the Sakura Country residents.

Since they have chosen to come to the empire's Yizhou Island, they must be prepared to be executed by the empire.

Besides, the empire didn't execute them, it was just fighting the Sakura Kingdom army.

Since it is a war, some casualties are unavoidable. If Sakura Country insists on asking for an explanation on this, then the Daxia Empire expresses regret for this incident and expresses its deep condolences for the victims.

The shelling of Mengka City lasted for two hours, turning the entire eastern district of Mengka City into a sea of ​​flames. There was not a single good building in half of the city.

"Xiangnong, have we never fired any artillery pieces since we got those heavy howitzers?" Fan Shaozeng said in a confused tone as he looked at the city of Mangka with flames everywhere.

When Liu Xiangnong heard his commander say this, he knew what Fan Shaozeng was thinking.

It was obvious that his commander was annoyed by those heavy howitzers.

The Dongchuan Army used to be poor. Not to mention heavy artillery, they didn't even have a few 75-caliber artillery. Now that the prince has given him four heavy cannons, who can bear it if he doesn't hear the sound?

"My enemy, Marshal. How about taking a few shots and hearing the sound?" Liu Xiangnong looked at Fan Shaozeng with a smile on his face.

"Listen? Can you imagine that the prince and others gave us these things to let us hear the sound?"

"However, our Dongchuan Army has never had this kind of artillery before. Our brothers have no experience in how to operate this kind of heavy artillery."

"So, I think we need to get the brothers familiar with each other, so as not to mess with me in future battles. Xiangnong, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes, the commander is wise. The commander is right. Brothers have never operated heavy artillery like this. You need to practice. Otherwise, when you encounter the need to use heavy artillery in the future, it will be difficult to swing the belt. "

Liu Xiangnong heard Fan Shaozeng's words and quickly changed his words.

"Okay, Xiangnong, you agree. Then let the artillery brothers fire a few shots to practice their skills?"

"Yes, yes, Commander, practice your skills."

In a few words, the two of them decided to enjoy Monkal City. No, it should be practice.

At the artillery position of the Dongchuan Army, the artillerymen were all excited when they heard the commander asked them to use heavy artillery.

As an artilleryman, who wouldn't want to pilot a heavy artillery piece? When I see a new cannon, even those who have never played with it want to play with it.

More than fifty artillerymen of the Dongchuan Army pushed four VZ-14 heavy howitzers weighing nearly three tons to the gun position, and then began to adjust and fire at Zhu Yuan.

"Reload with one round! Correct shooting!" an observer from the Dongchuan Army shouted loudly.

Two gunners stuffed a 45-kilogram shell into the barrel.

"Boom~" There was a loud noise, and the shock wave when the cannon was ejected from the chamber blew away the dust on the ground.

A large amount of dust covered the cannon.

After a long time, the dust became thinner, and the gunners shrouded in the dust all looked disgraced.

The 45-kilogram shell crossed a distance of three kilometers and slammed into the city of Monkal.

Directly destroy everything within fifty meters around it.

Those buildings that had already collapsed were blown up all over the place.

Some Sakura Country soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the artillery attack in front were directly blown away by this howitzer.

"Four rounds of loading, three rounds of rapid fire! Let's go!" Seeing that the correction bullet directly hit Monkal City, the observer directly ordered the gunner to start rapid fire.

For the Dongchuan Army, as long as they can hit Monkal City, it doesn't matter what they blow up.

After all, as long as such a large shell hits the city, it will cause huge psychological pressure on the Sakura Kingdom defenders inside.

The 149.1 caliber heavy howitzer is said to be rapid fire, but in fact it can only fire 2 shells per minute at most.

As for the Dongchuan Army, which has just taken over and is not yet familiar with the situation, it is also amazing to be able to fire out one artillery shell in one minute.

Four heavy artillery pieces, three rounds of rapid fire, and a total of twelve shells were fired into Monkal City, causing huge damage to Monkal City.

There was even a cannonball that was very close to the city wall and directly blasted a section of the city wall, creating a gap of about ten meters in the section.

Seeing this situation, Fan Shaozeng accurately seized this opportunity and directly ordered the First Division of the Dongchuan Army to enter the city and wipe out the remaining Hashimoto Brigade.

After receiving the order, the commander of the First Division, Sun Jiayu, directly drew out his command knife.

"Pass my order! The first division enters the city and wipes out the remaining enemies! Anyone who dares to attack our army is our enemy! You can shoot without warning!"
