Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 517
"Bastard, why hasn't the Zheng family's army broken through the Changde barrier yet!"

On the throne of Lord Ruan in Fuchun City, Ruan Fuyuan's third son, Ruan Fuming, was sitting on the throne. At this time, he was very anxious.

When he first rebelled and usurped the throne, Ruan Phuc was still complacent about getting the throne.However, the Zheng family's army did not conquer Changde fortress as scheduled and joined Ruan Phuc.That is to say, the city of Fu Xuan controlled by Ruan Phuc had become an enclave, surrounded by forces loyal to Ruan lord Ruan Phuc Yuan.Although these forces have not had time to gather, as time goes by, Ruan Phuc's situation becomes more and more dangerous.Ruan Phuc was already aware of the approaching danger.

"Ruan Youjin of Changde Base resisted extremely tenaciously. After gaining a new supply of 5 main forces, he relied on the favorable terrain of Changde Base to block Lord Zheng's army. Lord Zheng's army to attack Changde Base has reached [-] people, and it will take several days It takes more time to exhaust the main force of Chang De Lei." Ruan Phuc Ting's counselor said to him.

"Didn't Lord Zheng send a navy to sail from Rilihaikou? Has there been no progress in the waterway?!" Ruan Fu said dissatisfiedly.

"Our Ruan family's navy is swearing to resist on the waterway. Even if it is attacked by the warships of the Netherlands, it will not retreat. Now the Zheng family's navy is still dealing with the Ruan family's navy." The adviser said another piece of bad news.

"Damn it, everything went well for Master Zheng, which made us miscalculate the timing. If we hold back our temper and start a few days later, we don't have to be so uneasy now." Ruan Fuming paced back and forth in the hall, "You should also know, How much influence does the old man have in the southern part of our Annan country. As long as he is not dead, he can summon thousands of troops to counterattack our Fuchun City with a single order. At that time, the [-]% chance we should have will become It's five-five."

Several core rebels understood what Ruan Fuyuan was worried about, because Ruan Fuyuan's prestige had frightened the south for decades, and Lian Po's old age could not eliminate his influence.Once these traitors are defeated, all that awaits them is a bloody end.

"Hmph! I don't believe that our Fuchun City has a strong city and a three-foot-wide moat, and it will be breached by those local miscellaneous soldiers. Moreover, each wall of Fuchun City has two heavy artillery pieces and more than ten other artillery pieces. Unless it is a few Ten thousand troops, otherwise it would be impossible to capture Fuchun City. A few years ago, Lord Zheng's [-] troops attacked Fuchun City, didn't they return with their feathers?" A rebel general emboldened everyone.

"At that time, it was not just relying on the terrain, but also the unity of the army and the people. But what you said is also true. Even if we only have a few thousand people, it is impossible for the army outside the city to attack without three or four times the strength of ours." Ruan Phucian listened After a little relief, I also agreed with this statement.

"Report! Urgent report!"

While a group of traitors were discussing the situation, the city guard ran in out of breath wearing bulky armor and almost fell to the ground.

"What happened, why are you in such a panic?" Ruan Fuming turned pale before waiting for the city guard's answer, "Is it because the old and immortal army counterattacked?"

"How did the lord know..." the city guard was very surprised by Ruan Fuming's unforeseen prophecy, "The original lord's army has already arrived five miles away from the south gate."

"Damn it, it's even faster than expected! Let's go out and have a look!" Ruan Fuming felt trembling, and led a group of traitors to the south gate in a hurry.

When Ruan Fuyuan and the rebels arrived at the south gate, the joint troops outside were approaching Fuchun City, busy unloading the artillery on the carriage!
"That's the banner of the Lord, the Lord is still alive!" A traitor general blurted out when he saw that the banner of Ruan Fuyuan was flying in the army below the city.

"My lord? He is no longer my lord. Now I am my lord. If you say something wrong again, I will cut off your tongue!" Ruan Fuming kicked the traitor, nearly knocking him down.

The counselor saw something unusual on the city wall, pointed to the distance and said to Ruan Phuc Tin: "Your Majesty, please see that in addition to the old and immortal flag, about one-third of the troops hang other flags. That kind of flag has never appeared in our Annan country."

"The flag of the Western Folangji Kingdom? Our Ruan family has the deepest friendship with the Folangji Kingdom among the Western countries. It's not that Lao Bushi spent a lot of money to hire their mercenaries?" Ruan Fuming's thighs were already trembling slightly.

"No, the flags of Western countries are far from the style of this flag. From a small point of view, this flag is more like coming from the powerful Huaxia Dynasty. The Kyushu Army of China seems to have intervened in our war." Counselor I was frightened by such an astonishing deduction, so I couldn't help wiping the sweat off my face.

"My lord, they are setting up artillery, and they are going to attack the city soon. We can't sit still!" A rebel general saw that the combined army below the city was setting up artillery positions, and he unloaded the artillery one by one from the carriage. Lots of ammo.

This time, the Kyushu Army supported the Ruan family with [-] cannons, and the ammunition prepared at the same time was enough for the Ruan family and the Zheng family to fight a close decisive battle.But everyone did not expect that these firearms were first used by the rebels who attacked Fuchun City.In addition to thirty seventeenth-century smoothbore guns of the same level as Francois machine guns, the naval expedition led by Sun Xu brought twenty artillery pieces temporarily dismantled from the ship.These artillery pieces are more advanced than the ones supporting the Ruan family, and they are not inferior to land battles.

Ruan Fuming saw that there were fifty more icy cannons under Fuchun City, aiming at the battlements of the south city of Fuchun City, his face turned pale.

The artillery purchased by the Ruan family from Frangji over the years was either installed on the walls of Fuchun City, or on the defense line of the Changde Fortress, or equipped on naval warships.Apart from these three major uses, Ruan Fuyuan had no idea where Ruan Fuyuan could find fifty advanced artillery pieces.

"My lord, I understand!" The counselor clapped his hands suddenly, "This must be Ruan Fuyuan asking for help from the Kyushu Army of the Celestial Dynasty! If the firearms were not bought from the Western Kingdom, then they can only be the firearms of the Celestial Dynasty!"

"You trash, now you understand that there is a use for it, they are going to attack the city!" The angry Ruan Fuming kicked the counselor again, "Where is the city guard?"

"Subordinates are here!"

"You bombard their artillery positions with city defense artillery, destroying their artillery as much as possible."

"Reporting to the Lord, our city defense heavy artillery has a fixed position, and can only adjust the elevation angle, but not the direction... As for the other small artillery, I'm afraid the range is not enough..."

"You're a trash too!" Ruan Fuming kicked the city guard again.
