Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 235 In This Era, We Are God
Watching Li Baishi stride out, the banquet hall was silent, but after a moment, a burst of laughter broke out.

The French consul said loudly with disdain: "This arrogant yellow monkey, doesn't he know that in this era, we all of Europe are the gods of this world?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Waves of laughter poured out from the banquet hall. Li Baishi, who had already led his men to the door, turned around and looked at the banquet hall filled with laughter.

"Laugh, I hope you will be able to laugh in the future."

"Gods, have you gods asked the Jade Emperor before you come to our Yanhuang to abuse your power?"

He snorted coldly and boarded the carriage, and ordered the accompanying personnel: "Send a message to Jun, those who should be notified have been notified. Next, our Ming Dynasty must fight a glorious battle to let these white pigs know that Yanhuang is not a place where any cat or dog can run wild."

After Li Baishi left, the consuls from various countries continued to have fun, but they also made some agreements.

After the two wars between the Anglo-French coalition and France's defeat, they became a little wary of the Ming Dynasty and were unsure how strong the Ming army was.

It will take some time for the expeditionary force composed of the British, French, Dutch and other countries to arrive.

It just so happened that during this period, the Russians in the north were about to go to war with the Ming Dynasty. They could judge the strength of the Ming army based on this war and make arrangements for the next war.

After discussion, each consulate sent military attachés to the northern battlefield to observe the fighting situation of the two armies.

As various forces made plans, military officers used various methods to go to the northern battlefield.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…”

In an area of ​​low hills, there was intensive artillery fire.

The sound of artillery fire came from both sides. One side was building a defense line on the top of the mountain, and the other side was at the foot of the mountain, launching intensive attacks on the mountain.

"Qian Hai, I will give you two thousand men. Before the attack, I will order the artillery to fire all the shells to provide you with favorable firepower support."

"You only have one chance, you must take that position for me."

"If you fail, I will personally lead the raid tonight."

At the offensive position at the foot of the mountain, Liu Huai, commander of the Northern Corps, observed the position of the Tsarist Russian army through a telescope and gave orders to an officer beside him.

When they arrived, the Tsarist Russian army seemed to have received the news long ago.

They understand that it is impossible to win a war against a country in a short period of time.

So the Russians chose to station in an area and hold down the Ming army to buy time.

If the other side was stationing a defense line on his own territory, Liu Huai would not bother to deal with these old Russians.

But these old Russians advanced 20 miles from the border and stationed on the territory of Yanhuang.

For the proud Ming army, it was absolutely unacceptable for their own territory to be occupied by other countries and for positions to be established.

If he dared to let it go, Liu Huai could guarantee with his toes that the first thing Zhu Zhanjun would do when he arrived would be to shoot him.

The country will not give up an inch of its territory. This is a sentence that Zhu Zhanjun mentioned many times when he was giving lectures to them.

Therefore, he had to drive these Russians out of the border of Yanhuang before Zhu Zhanjun arrived.

But the results were not ideal.

Not to mention that the enemy's army had more than 1 more troops than theirs, they also arrived more than a month earlier than them, and their defensive positions were extremely solid.

On several occasions, he ordered night attacks and initially captured some positions, but the enemy, relying on higher fortifications, directly bombarded them with artillery.

The Ming army that occupied that area was almost completely killed or wounded.

This made Liu feel so angry that his teeth itched.

After a fierce attack lasting half a month, the Ming army captured 3000% of the positions at the cost of nearly 90 casualties.

Now only the main peak position in the middle occupied by the Tsarist Russian army remains. As long as this position is taken, the Russians' foothold will be completely eliminated.

Just yesterday, he also received the news.

Zhu Zhanjun had already led an army of 10,000, set out from Tianjin by boat, and then arrived in Vladivostok to quickly provide them with support.

The troops are currently speeding up their march and will arrive tomorrow.

The king came, but his position had not been taken down yet, which made Liu Huai unable to bear it. He absolutely would not allow this stain to exist in his military career.

So as soon as he came up, he called his brave generals over and gave them serious instructions.

After hearing the order, Qian Hai, holding up a telescope covered in dirt and blood, looked at the position opposite where the Russian double-headed eagle flag was still flying, and nodded heavily, "Boss, don't worry, we can't hold on, and neither can they."

Liu Huai nodded, took a deep breath, looked at the setting sun and said, "I'll give you half an hour to prepare. Go ahead and make sure the brothers have enough to eat and drink."

Qian Hai raised his hand and saluted, then walked quickly towards the starting position.

The cooks had already prepared and delivered baskets of food to the starting point.

The soldiers, who had been fighting for half a month, had signs of fatigue on their faces. After the cooks had distributed the food, many of them just ate with numb expressions.

While everyone was eating, Qian Hai stood on a high place, looked at the soldiers who were eating with difficulty, and shouted: "Brothers, I know you are tired, but now is not the time to complain about being tired."

Pointing at his feet, he said loudly: "This is our territory. The mission of our Northern Legion is to take back all the northern regions."

"The Western and Southern Legions fought very well, but our Northern Legion was blocked here. This is something we cannot tolerate."

"The Lord will be here tomorrow. As an elite main force, how can we allow this stain to exist?"

"Eat and drink well, brothers. I will personally lead you to launch an attack later. Once we take this position, we can rest."

"When the time comes, we'll have delicious food and drinks, but if you want to go to a brothel, I'll treat you."

"Hahaha……"

Finally, a burst of laughter broke out from below.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Qian Hai picked up the rifle of the guard next to him and shouted to all the soldiers: "Check the ammunition!"

The soldiers picked up or took off their weapons and began to quickly check their ammunition.

Those who don't have ammunition should reload it, and those who have ammunition should check whether the bayonet is installed.

When the soldiers were ready, Qian Hai waved his hand.

"All units are on standby as planned. Once the artillery fire stops, they will immediately launch the attack."

The troops moved to the departure position and were ready to stand by.

Liu Huai, who was observing all this through a telescope, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and raised his hand and waved. "Fire!"

Nearly fifty artillery pieces of the Northern Army launched a massive bombardment on the last position of the Tsarist Russian Army on the top of the mountain.

The Tsarist Russian troops who were standing in a daze in the position heard the whistling sound of the artillery and began to crawl away to hide.

After half a month of fighting, they finally understood the situation.

The Ming army below is not at all like those rotten troops of the Qing army, and their fighting will is very strong.

And in terms of weapons and equipment, they are even better than them.

If they had not occupied the advantageous terrain and built a defense line, their 30,000 men would have been beaten back and forth by the Ming army of less than 20,000 men.

They even established an effective defense line, but the fierce attack of the Ming army also took away most of their positions.

Their casualties were very heavy. Out of a force of 6000, less than are currently able to be deployed in battle.

The rest were either injured and retreated to the rear, or they fled in the middle of the night out of fear of death.

To be honest, if the commander had not deployed a supervision team in the rear during this period, and if the Tsar had not ordered a new batch of nearly 100,000 reinforcements to arrive, the officers in charge of the command would have run away.

It had been a long time since they had experienced such a brutal offensive and defensive battle.

Compared to the torment of this kind of offensive and defensive battle, they would rather have a one-on-one battle in the field to get to the bottom of it.

"Damn it, these yellow monkeys have endless ammunition?"

The officer in charge of the command was cursing loudly in the command room.

However, the scolding could not stop the Ming army from firing. Their artillery had already been lost in various positions, and currently there were less than ten guns that could be used. Even if they wanted to fight back, they could not defeat the enemy's nearly fifty guns.

"on!"

When artillery launched intensive bombardment on the peak of the mountain, the Ming army soldiers on standby at the departure position, listening to the whirring artillery fire passing overhead, quickly moved towards the main peak position of the Tsarist Russia.

The team stopped only when they reached the edge of the artillery coverage, holding rifles with bayonets and staring straight at the positions of the Tsarist Russian army.

"call…"

With the last shell hitting a rock and bouncing away, the bombardment that lasted for two quarters of an hour finally came to an end.

"Beep beep beep..."

Qian Hai blew the whistle for the attack, and the Ming army soldiers on standby walked on the bumpy and boulders-filled hillside and launched an attack towards the position on the top of the mountain.

"Damn it, those yellow monkeys are coming to attack us, shoot quickly, shoot quickly."

The Tsarist Russian army had complete fortifications, and although it had experienced a fierce bombardment, the power of its current artillery was still too weak.

In some positions that were not destroyed, the Russian troops inside discovered the attacking Ming army and immediately began to shout loudly.

Gun barrels protruded from the positions one after another.

"Bang bang bang..."

Bursts of gunfire were accompanied by rising smoke, and bullets whizzed out towards the attacking Ming army.

"Puff puff……"

Most of the bullets hit the sand, but a few hit the unlucky ones.

The soldier who was hit by the gun fell to the ground with a groan and rolled down.

The soldiers who launched the attack, except for those who were tripped, did not even look at the injured soldiers, and continued to charge quickly to the top of the mountain.

When they reached a distance of about ten feet, the sharpshooter immediately stopped, looked for cover, and fired accurately at the Tsarist Russian positions.

Gunshots rang out instantly.

People on both sides kept falling down.

Although the Russian army had fierce firepower, the Ming army seemed determined to capture the position, and the soldiers kept charging forward regardless of casualties.

Liu Huai, who was watching from below, had tears in his eyes.

In just a charge distance of more than ten feet, the attacking legion suffered at least hundreds of casualties.

These were all the brothers he had brought up one by one, but now, because of his orders, they rushed up madly under the enemy's bullets and died in front of him.

His heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife, but as a commander he knew that there would definitely be casualties in the war.

Today it is these ordinary soldiers, maybe tomorrow it will be him.

As a soldier, the only thing you have to do is to achieve the commander's combat objectives before you survive.

But when Liu Huai saw the soldiers rushing forward being shot into sieves by the Russian army's shotguns, he couldn't help but close his eyes, even though he thought he was used to life and death.

Facing the continuous fire of shotgun shells from the enemy, the Ming army soldiers ignored casualties and finally rushed to five feet in front of the enemy formation.

The soldiers took out palm-sized grenades from their waists, pulled the fuses, and threw them at the people with roars.

"kill!"

Qian Hai, who was leading the team in the front, saw that the enemy's shotgun had gone out. He roared, holding his rifle with a bayonet, and launched a charge upwards.

"Kill!"

When the soldiers saw their leader rushing forward, they all shouted and followed closely.

"Damn it, these yellow monkeys are coming up, drive them away."

The Russian army was in a panic. They did not expect that the Ming army could still charge forward in the face of such fierce rain of bullets.

Although they were shocked by the enemy's will, if they wanted to survive, they had to drive away these Ming troops.

"For the sake of His Majesty, drive them out, hurrah!"

The Russians were also stubborn. When they saw the Ming army rushing up, they shouted and launched a counterattack.

The two armies fought a desperate battle on this mountain that doesn't even have a name.

Shouts of "Shasha" and "Ura" were heard interweaving together. These soldiers, whose names were unknown, used various means to kill strangers who they would never have met in their lives if it were not for the war, for the sake of their respective countries.
