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

"Don't tell me how difficult it is for you. I only want Lu Jiangcheng. Let me tell you, if you can't take the city before dark, I'll make you wash the decks!"

On the Qinhuang aircraft carrier, Zheng Zilong hung up the communication, turned around and looked at the huge topographic map in front of him, frowning.

Just now, the Second Marine Corps reported to him that they had encountered stubborn resistance during their attack on an important city in the Southern Monkey Kingdom.

The two sides engaged in street fighting, and the Second Marine Corps suffered heavy casualties, so it requested a temporary halt to the attack for repairs.

If it was two days ago, Zheng Zilong would have agreed without hesitation, but not today.

Meteorological experts reported to him in the morning that a super typhoon would make landfall in their area tonight.

Typhoons have a huge impact on coastal cities.

The king of the Southern Monkey Kingdom was captured and lost his commander-in-chief, so a prince was appointed to the throne and took over the command of the entire country.

The other party was also a decisive person. He directly mobilized the army and asked for help from neighboring countries. He assembled an army of 40 and was counterattacking Dayan.

Lujiang City is an important node. As long as the Yan army captures this city, they will block the enemy's advance and completely destroy their hope of counterattack.

Currently, only the Second Corps has arrived and launched an attack, the Army is still on its way here, and other corps have corresponding tasks.

Typhoons have a great impact on the army's marching and fighting. If the city is not captured before the typhoon arrives, the enemy will seize the initiative.

If the Yan army wants to break through the enemy's defense line consisting of hundreds of thousands of troops, it will have to pay a heavy price.

So this city must be taken.

Looking at the city sandwiched between two long mountain ranges, Zheng Zilong gritted his teeth and said, "Order the air force to reinforce them at all costs, even if it means bombing this city into ruins."

"I'll go there myself!"

Seeing Zheng Zilong looking anxious and wishing he could rush over in person, Li Xiaogong, who was serving as a consultant at the side, stood up.

Zheng Zilong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you, Prince of Hejian."

Like Changsun Wuji, he was sent here to study.

However, the position of Chief of Staff of the Navy requires too much knowledge and technical skills, so he is not qualified and can only serve as an advisory staff officer.

A distance of a hundred miles only takes a dozen minutes for a fast-moving airplane.

After landing at the temporary airport, Li Xiaogong heard fierce gunfire in the distance as soon as he got off the plane.

"Consultant Li!"

An officer from the Second Legion came forward to greet him, walked up to him and saluted.

"Hello."

Li Xiaogong replied with a smile and followed the other party into the jeep.

Although Lujiang City is an important city, Monkey doesn't seem to like building roads. In addition, the ground is bumpy due to the battle just now, and the jeep is very bumpy when driving on it.

"What's the current situation on the front line?"

He came here with a mission, and Li Xiaogong had no time to appreciate the surrounding scenery.

"We have already entered the city, but the enemy used the houses as shelters to block our attacks. In addition, the local residents did not cooperate and attacked our troops from time to time. Our progress was very slow. We only reached the front area of ​​the city and did not even touch the center."

The staff officer quickly reported the current combat situation.

Ever since they received the news that someone was coming from above, they suspected that this guy was here to supervise the battle.

After all, the commander-in-chief's order was so strict, something important must have happened, urging them to resolve the battle as soon as possible.

We sent people here because we were worried that they might not attack with all their strength, so we came to supervise the battle.

Li Xiaogong nodded without asking any further questions.

When the jeep arrived at a temporary command post, several people walked out, led by a general with two gold stars on his shoulders.

"Colonel Li, I didn't expect you to come here."

The commander of the Second Corps smiled widely, stepped forward, saluted, and then shook hands with Li Xiaogong.

"Haha, Commander Wu, you don't have to flatter me. I'm not here to supervise the battle. I'm just sent by the commander-in-chief to explain the situation to you."

His little thoughts were seen through, the legion commander surnamed Wu smiled awkwardly and quickly invited Li Xiaogong into the command room.

In the command room, radio and communication sounds continued to sound, and combat staff quickly counted the intelligence and marked the new battle situation on the sand table.

A group of people came to the sand table. Li Xiaogong took a look and frowned slightly.

The situation shown on the sand table was a little worse than what the staff officer said. The staff officer just said that they had already attacked the front city, but according to the situation on the sand table, they had not even occupied 1/5 of the area.

Without giving any instructions, Li Xiaogong took the commander of the Second Corps, the army chief of staff, and the instructor of loyalty to the emperor, and the three of them walked into the next room.

Everyone sat down, and Li Xiaogong said, "According to intelligence, the enemy has already recruited an army of about 40 and is heading towards you."

"Although our air force has been sending fighter jets to hinder their progress, as you know the terrain here, it is difficult to stop them completely."

"In addition, meteorological experts reported that a super typhoon will land here tonight or tomorrow morning."

"It is expected that the typhoon may reach level 12 to 14, accompanied by heavy rainfall."

The three generals, who had originally had normal expressions, immediately changed their expressions.

As Marines, they naturally understood how terrifying a typhoon of around level 12 was.

The power of a typhoon of the same level blowing on land and on the sea is different.

The area they were in was near the sea, and although it was still more than 100 miles away, it was nothing for a typhoon.

"I don't need to tell you how important this city is. You all know it."

"Moreover, most of our troops are stationed in the wild. Once a typhoon hits, the impact on us can be said to be very great."

"In addition, the navy will also evacuate tonight and head to the port to avoid the typhoon."

"That's why the commander-in-chief ordered you to take this city at all costs."

"Only by taking this city can our army continue to advance southward quickly after the typhoon passes, so as not to be blocked by the enemy in this city and have to use the navy to break through from other places."

"At first we attacked by surprise, the enemy was not prepared and we landed successfully, but what about the next time?"

"You Marine Corps commanders know better than me how difficult and terrifying the landing operation will be, and how many casualties it will cost."

Commander Wu stood up, raised his hand and saluted solemnly, saying, "Don't worry, Staff Officer Li, we will definitely take this city before dark."

Li Xiaogong nodded and lowered his voice and said, "When necessary, you can directly clear into the city. Don't feel psychologically stressed. If something goes wrong, the Navy Headquarters will take care of it for you."

Although the words were unclear, the commander of the Second Legion understood them. He nodded vigorously, saluted again, and left with his men.

Soon, the gunfire in the city became more intense, accompanied by screams from time to time.

In order to complete the mission as quickly as possible, the commander of the Second Army was determined to provide artillery and air support, continuously bombing the enemy's urban areas.

In just one hour, the unoccupied areas of the city turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Under the fierce air-ground attack, the guarding Monkey Army finally couldn't hold on any longer and withdrew from the city from the other side. The Yan Army officially took control of this key city.

When the Yan army launched a fierce attack, the nerves of the giants of other levels, who were already on edge, jumped again when they received this news.

The Third Reich was already enough of a headache for them, and now the Great Yan Kingdom has also joined the melee, which has cast a shadow over the hearts of the other giants.

"Everyone, the current situation in the world has reached a critical moment."

In a conference room at Buckingham Palace in the British Empire, Qiu Daer said to the representatives of several other giants in front of him: "Just a few days ago, the Great Yan Kingdom launched an attack on the southern region."

"Many of them are your colonies, or former colonies."

"The current movements of the Great Yan Empire have seriously threatened our interests. We have also sent people to negotiate with the Great Yan Empire, and the response they gave us is exactly the same as a few years ago."

"These small countries, like Fusang, were once their vassal states. Now these vassal states have done something wrong to them. As the boss, they have to teach them a lesson."

"They don't say anything about it for the safety of our colonies."

"Everyone, this is obvious. The Great Yan Empire saw that we were being held back by the Third Empire, and wanted to take the opportunity to swallow up the entire southeast region and expand its own territory and ocean area."

He turned and walked to the huge map, marking the area where Da Yan was.

"At present, Da Yan has occupied Fuso. If they take over the southeast region, the other side of this world will belong to them."

"Then the economy, trade and other aspects will be greatly damaged for us."

Turning to face the representatives of various countries, Qiu Daer said slowly: "This long dragon in the east is originally our biggest threat. Originally, with these little guys holding it back, we could still spare some time to deal with other disobedient little guys."

"But now the Great Yan Nation has taken the lead in eliminating the hidden dangers around us and completely pushing back our hand that is reaching out to the east."

After saying this, he said with a serious look: "Everyone, we can't just sit there and do nothing. Otherwise, with the speed of Da Yan's annexation, by the time we want to intervene, it will be too late."

"So I propose that all forces form a joint army to protect the colonies in order to stop the Great Yan forces from continuing their invasion to the southeast, to completely protect our interests, and to preserve our future ocean route to the east." (End of this chapter)
