Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4164 Dimensionality Reduction Strike
Xiao Xun saw the power of naval warships with his own eyes, how could he be lucky?He just wanted to end this gathering of private soldiers no matter what, and just dormant in Jiangnan honestly, not daring to conceive the idea of ​​going north to Guanzhong.

Liu Rengui stood on the side of the ship, his majestic figure was like a mountain and a mountain, and he sneered: "Slaughter?"

Immediately looking around, he said: "This kind of scene is far from the word 'slaughter', Lord Nanhai might as well ask these soldiers and generals, how fast and thunderous we are when we are in a foreign land and wiped out the ministers. .”

The so-called "king inside and bullying outside" is not enough to simply teach Confucianism when facing foreigners of different races. Make it bow its head and obey its ears.

For example, the Japanese, the Annan people, and the aborigines of the Southeast Asian countries. Although these people can’t be said to be ruthless, they don’t even have writing, their culture is extremely scarce, and their lives are extremely primitive. In the past, it can be said that the reason why these barbarian aborigines were able to open up the wisdom of the people was thanks to the gift of the Han people.

The results of it?
When the Han people talked about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness to him, these beast-like things shook their heads three times, turned their backs on their promises, and had no shame. ", crop by crop, crop by crop, and crop by crop.

Cruel, bloody, and inhumane.

But when the navy opened up routes to escort the caravans to these countries, facing the merciless slaughter with muskets, cannons, and horizontal knives, these wild and unruly natives suddenly became hospitable.

For example, the Japanese, who were deeply disturbed by the cultural and commercial dominance of the Han people, simply regarded the Han people as superior people. Proud of being a maidservant.

But most Han people don’t like short-legged, dark-skinned Japanese people, and prefer docile and beautiful Silla maidservants...

If he really wanted to massacre the private army in the south of the Yangtze River, he would not use artillery, but put down the armored cavalry of the navy that was armed to the teeth after landing, and faced the private army in the south of the Yangtze River with a thousand armored cavalry It is not difficult for such a mob to kill [-] to [-] people.

Xiao Xun's lips trembled, and when he wanted to say something, he probably felt that the majestic naval general in front of him would not listen at all, and could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

Liu Rengui's order was issued quickly, and more than [-] large gunboats that were huge in size but moved slowly came from the retreat, lined up on the river south of Yanziji, which was shaped like a flying swallow, and connected end to end.

The oilcloth gun cover was torn off, revealing the black barrel. This time the soldiers were not loading solid iron bullets, but flowering bullets and incendiary bombs. The ammunition was loaded into the gun chamber, and the fuse was ignited. After a while, there was a deafening sound of "boom boom boom" Suddenly, the warships on the river all spewed out puffs of gunpowder smoke, covering their own ships.

Cannonballs flew across the sky, landed in the Yanziji Ferry area that stretched for dozens of miles, and exploded in the crowd. The gunpowder expanded and released huge energy, shattering the shell casings along the prefabricated lines, and countless fragments sputtered in all directions. .

The power of the gunpowder is limited, but the fragments of the shells sputter like a death sickle. The powerful kinetic energy given by the gunpowder is enough to make it tear up any object in the way of the sputtering. Even a slightly thinner armor can penetrate at a short distance. Let alone flesh and blood?
Yanziji Ferry was filled with gunpowder smoke, shrapnel splattered, flesh and blood flying and howling. Those incendiary bombs were even more powerful. After landing, they exploded, and the flammable materials soaked in kerosene flew around, attaching to any object. A raging fire is ignited, and it is difficult to be extinguished by water. It will gradually extinguish until there is no more to burn...

The naval gunboats lined up on the river, and the Yanziji Ferry was so wide that the soldiers didn't need to aim at all. They threw their arms and repeated the firing procedure. One by one, the shells were sent out of the barrel and landed among the crowd at the ferry.

Almost in an instant, the crowded Yanziji became a hell on earth...

Xiao Xun's eyeballs popped out of their sockets, and the end of his eyes was bloodshot, his whole body was trembling unceasingly, "Ho Ho" sounded in his throat but he couldn't speak.

Everything in front of me was caused by the covetousness of the Jiangnan clan, among which the Lanling Xiao clan was the dominant one. Now these Jiangnan children were bombed by the navy to death, and all the crimes were naturally attributed to the Xiao family.

It is conceivable that from now on, the strength of the Jiangnan clan will be greatly weakened, and the population gathered by decades of recuperation will be exhausted. The blood of the Jiangnan children has stained the river red, and the flesh and blood will be integrated with this land. Maybe next spring will Bright and gorgeous wild flowers bloom, each of which is the wronged soul of the children of Jiangnan...

"what!"

Xiao Xun suddenly called out, his old body was suddenly sensitive, with one hand on the side of the boat, his two legs moved together, flipped over the side of the boat, and fell into the river with a "plop".

The Jiangnan clan suffered such heavy losses, and the Jiangnan children suffered such tragic deaths and injuries. It is conceivable that the Lanling Xiao family will surely become the target of public criticism.

As the person with the most prestige and the longest age in the Xiao family of Lanling, he only needs to die so that he will not have to face the criticism and insults of the people in Jiangnan.

So at this moment Xiao Xun was determined to die, without any hesitation.

Farewell to Jiangnan's elders...

Liu Rengui was taken aback by this sudden scene. He didn't react until some soldiers jumped into the water one after another, but he didn't say much. The ferry, and the screaming and screaming crowds running around.

Soon, the personal soldiers fished up Xiao Xun who had fallen into the water, and put him horizontally on the deck to rescue him. After a lot of tossing, Xiao Xun spat out a mouthful of water, and finally rescued him.It's just that his eyes are closed, his face is like gold paper, except for the slight ups and downs of his chest, there is still a trace of breathing, and the whole person is depressed and lifeless.

Falling into the water twice in a row is really old for such an old man who has always been pampered and well-off. What's more, now he is probably desperate, shameless, and almost dead...

Liu Rengui no longer cares about those people who do not hesitate to engulf the whole of Jiangnan for their own selfishness. Now that the private army in Jiangnan has collapsed, there are very few people who can go north to Guanzhong, and there is no threat.

"Stop the bombardment, the heavy armored infantry landed, cleared the ferry for the troops to land, gathered the prisoners, treated the wounded, and counted the supplies. The vanguard fleet continued to approach the upstream, closely monitored the various ferry crossings, blocked the river, and never allowed any large A large-scale river crossing incident occurred."

The Yangtze River stretches for thousands of miles and has countless ferries. It is impossible to completely block it. However, the Jiangnan clan lost almost all of their main forces. Even if the rest of them secretly crossed the Yangtze River and went to Guanzhong, they would not be able to pose too much threat to Chang'an. The strategic goal has been fully achieved. The rest is to continue to put pressure on the Jiangnan clan.

"Here!"

With the sound of war drums and the waving of flags, the naval fleet across the river received orders and acted step by step. The vanguard fleet raised its sails again and continued to approach upstream along the waterway in the middle of the river, monitoring and blocking various ferries. The ships docked one after another, and groups of heavy armored infantrymen in heavy armor and armed to the teeth boarded the pier, and lined up neatly towards the ferry.

Liu Rengui stood on the ship's side, watching countless sailors rushing to the Yanziji Ferry. The tens of thousands of people who had gathered here had already dispersed after being bombarded by artillery. There were wounded soldiers and corpses everywhere. , The smoke rose into the sky, and the Jiangnan private soldiers of such a scale were vulnerable to the attack of the navy, which inevitably made him feel emotional, and unexpectedly felt a sense of loneliness and loneliness.

The navy's landing tactics are very simple. First, they bombard the enemy indiscriminately with artillery, disrupt the enemy's formation, destroy the enemy's position, inflict great damage on the enemy and shock the morale of the army, and then land with heavy armored infantry, with musketeers guarding the two wings , just keep pushing horizontally, if the enemy retreats in an orderly manner, then use the big killing equipment and equip the iron cavalry to chase and kill them.

Up until now, this simple tactic has won many battles and has never encountered an opponent, let alone a defeat.

The reason is very simple. The power of artillery is not only to kill the enemy's vitality, but more importantly, it is to attack the morale of the army. It is difficult for an army to maintain a complete array, firm morale, and high morale under large-scale shelling. The infantry is dispatched, and the overall situation is settled.

Even the number of outfitted cavalry dispatches has become less and less...

For Liu Rengui, who has always been ambitious, the challenge is getting worse and worse, and the sense of accomplishment is getting lower and lower. The navy can no longer carry his ambitions, and such a building built by Fang Jun can't show his ability.

Apart from the need for a commander like Su Dingfang to sit in command of the navy and control the situation, the rest only need to follow the steps and rely on their powerful and invincible combat power to run across the ocean.

At this time, Guanzhong is raging with war, the imperial power and society are undergoing violent shocks, and the empire may fall into the danger of splitting and civil war at any time, but for Liu Rengui, who has always been ambitious, it is just a piece of alchemy stone.

That is a broader stage, enough to carry all his ambitions and aspirations...

Taking a deep breath, Liu Rengui continued to order: "Leave [-] warships and continue to blockade Yanziji, beware of the enemy's counterattack after gathering the remnants of the army. The rest put away the springboard, hoist the sails, and then return to Huating Town."

"Here!"

The warship hoisted its sails again, and the river wind was blowing. The warship slowly picked up speed and went down the water, heading straight for Huating Town.

Liu Rengui stood at the bow of the boat, facing the wind from the river, and his heart was burning. The private army in the south of the Yangtze River was defeated. The army is blocked in Tongguan, and the East and West are flanking each other. One battle will decide the world.

There is the stage where he, Liu Rengui, should fight bloody battles...
