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

"Report to the commander, position No. 3 has been breached, General William requests immediate reinforcements!"

"Report to the commander, position 8 has been attacked fiercely by the enemy. General George reported that they have suffered heavy casualties and requested to withdraw for repairs!"

"Report to the commander..."

A bad news came. Richard sat silently in a chair, smoking a pipe, looking at the sand table in front of him.

It has been six hours since the battle started.

During these six hours, they were attacked by the Ming army from both air and ground.

Planes in the sky kept roaring down, and every time they landed, an artillery position or an anti-aircraft position was destroyed.

As for the positions, of the four lines of defense he prepared, the first two had been riddled with holes, and the third position was under fierce attack by the enemy.

There was no good news, just requests for reinforcements or reports of lost positions.

"General, the airship brigade has arrived."

Just when bad news came one after another, Klin with a beard finally reported good news.

Hearing the airship coming, Richard breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Order them to drive away the enemy planes immediately."

"Great! Our air force has finally arrived. We can finally get rid of those annoying flies."

"Yes, I heard that our airship is equipped with cannons, and its power is extremely powerful."

"Those little planes are so small, they definitely can't withstand a single shot."

When the staff officers in the air-raid shelter heard that their own airship was coming, they all smiled happily, and the depressed mood just now was swept away.

Everyone fantasized about how their own airship troops would sweep away the Ming army's planes and then drive back the enemy's fiercely attacking infantry.

Although Richard had no hope for this, he still walked out of the air defense command center and observed the sky from a hidden place.

A large black spot appeared behind their position, and it looked like at least dozens of airships were slowly approaching.

The soldiers of the Southern Legion of the Angel Alliance who were struggling on the ground cheered excitedly when they saw their airship arrive.

Because in their minds, airships are powerful and invincible.

As long as the airship arrives, the enemy will be defeated and their situation will turn from bad to good.

"What era is this? Still playing with airships. What a bunch of idiots."

The Ming Air Force pilots who were patrolling in their fighter jets looked disdainful when they saw the airship slowly approaching from a distance.

Gao Hang, who was commanding the troops to launch attacks in turns, only glanced at the airship and said to the patrol team that was prepared: "Kill them and don't let them cause trouble."

"Well, just wait and see."

When the fighter jets that had been patrolling the sky heard that they could hit the big target, they cheered instantly and rushed towards the airship excitedly.

"Fire!"

The commander of the Angel Alliance airship gave the order without hesitation when he saw the fighter jets rushing towards him like sharks smelling blood.

"Da da da...dong dong dong..."

The imitation Maxim machine gun and small artillery fired crazily at the incoming planes.

Faced with the enemy's attacks, the fighter pilots just sneered and adjusted their positions to avoid the rain of bullets.

Facing this type of airship, the Ming army had already developed a way to fight it.

Dozens of fighter jets flew over and either climbed or dived under the orders of their respective commanders.

After reaching a certain distance, they launched attacks from above and below.

The bullets hit the airship, causing a burst of exclamations and screams.

Especially the fighter jets that attack from above are so brutal.

The aviation machine guns and cannons made big holes in the airbags on the airship, and the gas inside leaked out madly.

The airship that was hit the hardest was staggering towards the ground.

"Damn it, I knew it would be like this."

Richard, who was observing from the ground, was so angry when he saw this scene that he dropped the telescope in his hand to the ground.

He had not had much hope for the airship in the first place, but he thought that since he was already here, even if he could not defeat the enemy, he could at least create a lot of chaos for them.

However, it now seems that the airship is simply delivering food, let alone creating chaos.

In just less than ten minutes, the airships in the sky fell one after another, and the bombs inside caused a chain reaction at the moment of falling.

The airships used as weapons by the Southern Legion of the Angel Alliance did not perform at all and all died.

Well, it’s not that nothing, at least the Ming army consumed some ammunition.

The battle lasted until dusk, when the fierce exchange of fire stopped.

In the Angel Alliance command room, the staff officer reported excitedly: "After a day of fighting, our army finally withstood the attack of the Ming army with strong resistance and blocked them outside the third line of defense."

"Great! The Ming army is not invincible. It's just like this."

"That's right. The Northern Legion is just a bunch of cowards. They were defeated as soon as they came into contact. They are no match for us."

Richard felt particularly tired listening to the officers' excited conversation.

When did the gentlemen who fought for world domination become like this?

In the past, they believed that they were the masters of the world, and winning battles was a common thing. Even if they were defeated, they were on the offensive.

But now, they are so happy just for blocking the enemy's attack. Are they still the arrogant gentleman corps?
"What about the casualties?" Richard glanced at the happy generals and asked for the data he was most concerned about.

Hearing this question, the scene suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at the staff officer.

The staff officer was silent for a moment before reporting in a low voice: "According to statistics, today our army suffered more than 10 casualties, of which more than are missing."

When the report came out, many people present felt depressed.

With more than 10 casualties in just one day, their army of nearly 200 million would only be enough to fight for less than half a month.

"What about the Ming army?"

Richard asked again.

The staff officer shook his head: "It's impossible to be sure, but conservatively speaking, it's definitely not less than us. After all, they are the attackers."

After these words were spoken, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they suffered heavy casualties, the other side was not having an easy time either. At least the deaths of these soldiers were not in vain.

"Be on high alert, beware of sudden attacks tonight."

Richard said this, then stood up and left the conference table.

On the other side, the Ming army was also making a report.

"According to statistics, our army killed more than 9 people, captured more than 35000 people, and occupied the enemy's first two lines of defense."

"According to statistics, a total of 673 of our soldiers were killed and 325 were seriously injured. The medical room in the rear is doing its best to rescue them."

"There were more than 4800 lightly wounded personnel, but it did not affect the battle, but they were also withdrawn for recuperation."

Hearing this data, Zhu Zhanjun smiled with satisfaction, stood up, looked at the generals present and said with a smile: "I used to hear how elite your Southern Army is, but now it seems that the outside world underestimates you."

"Thousands of casualties in exchange for nearly 13 on the other side."

Zhu Zhanjun slammed the table heavily and said, "Well done, you fought beautifully. This is what the elite of the country should do."

"Hey hey hey..."

The generals who had cold faces when facing their subordinates on the battlefield, smiled honestly after hearing Zhu Zhanjun's praise.

This is their emperor, the great figure who re-raised the banner of the Han people.

Such direct praise made them so happy that they were happier than getting married and having children.

"but……"

Leaders are like this. They give you a sweet treat and then give you a warning.

"This is the first step of a towering building. There will be more difficult wars waiting for you. I hope that the Southern Legion can maintain this perfect state and achieve perfect victories for our Ming Dynasty one after another."

"I assure you here that everyone's contribution and dedication will never be forgotten by the court, me, and the people of the world."

"Remember the mission, never forget the original intention, fight for the country, and expand the territory!"

All the generals stood up immediately, puffed out their chests and raised their heads, shouting loudly.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded and looked at Li Jing: "I believe you have plans for the evening."

Li Jing nodded and stood up and said, "Today during the day, we deployed 20 legions to launch this attack."

"We didn't stop all day today. This is a tactic we devised to tire out the enemy."

"The main purpose is for the general offensive tonight and tomorrow."

"All of our military's weapons are automatic or semi-automatic, which can absolutely suppress the enemy."

"After the cleanup by the air force and artillery during the day, the enemy's heavy firepower has been almost eliminated."

After planting small flags on the enemy's defense line, Li Jing said, "So we decided to deploy the ten reserve legions at night and launch a night attack using our advantage."

"The night attack is the second step of the tactic of wearing out the enemy. Tonight, the assaulting soldiers will conduct sneak attacks and harassment on the enemy's positions, making the enemy exhausted."

"When daybreak comes, the enemy troops, who have not rested for a day and a night, will be exhausted both physically and mentally, and in morale."

At this point, Li Jing waved the command pole in his hand towards the flag above the enemy's position and announced his final plan: "At daybreak, the entire army will attack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

This is Li Jing, discovering the enemy, attacking the enemy, and destroying the enemy.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded and listened to Li Jing and the staff officers explain the next plan and the arrangements for each corps.

During this period, the Ming army's artillery never stopped, launching continuous attacks on the enemy's positions.

After Li Jing and others finished talking about the attack strategy, Zhu Zhanjun smiled and said, "Very good, but I will add fuel to the fire."

Li Jing and the generals looked at Zhu Zhanjun in confusion, not understanding what this meant by adding fuel to the fire.

Li Jing didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes lit up and he asked quickly, "Are you planning to send the Sky Fortress?"

The giant bomber like the Sky Fortress in the Great Yan Kingdom's world opened Li Jing's eyes.

There was one in the second world as well, but it was snatched away by the shameless old man, which made Li Jing feel a little regretful.

When Zhu Zhanjun said to add fuel to the fire, he thought he meant to add more Flying Fortress bombers to their fleet.

Zhu Zhanjun shook his head and shouted at the door: "Come in!"

As everyone was curious about the show, they saw an expressionless man in a general's uniform stride in.

The man walked into the room and saluted Zhu Zhanjun: "The commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's Ji Army, Jie Liangzi, is reporting in." (End of this chapter)
