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

While the two sides were cooperating perfectly, the typhoon in the south gradually disappeared.

The strong typhoon made the entire Southern Monkey Kingdom like a devastated girl, with chaos and swamps everywhere.

The Yan Army was almost entirely composed of armored units, and this swamp situation severely affected the army's progress.

The original plan was to assemble the troops in Lujiang City after the typhoon, but they did not arrive at the specified time.

The opposing Nanhou Army, which was mainly composed of infantry, was accustomed to the local terrain and was the first to arrive at the battlefield area.

The Second Marine Corps, as a defensive force, arranged three lines of defense to deal with the enemy's attack, intending to block the enemy at nodes and wait for follow-up troops to arrive.

The first line of defense is ten miles outside the city, establishing a defense line on the edge of two mountain ranges.

The second line of defense was built five miles away from the city using Guzi Mountain and Monkey King Valley.

The third line of defense is in Lujiang City, and it is also the last line of defense.

"Report, the enemy's vanguard has been spotted."

In a temporary command room on a hill, the signalman was reporting the situation quickly.

Li Xiaogong and the commander of the Second Corps were looking into the distance through binoculars.

"To defeat the enemy, you must first weaken his momentum!"

"The enemy is advancing with a rage for revenge. We should first break their spirit and make them realize how powerful our Yan Army is so that they will be afraid of us."

The commander of the Second Legion was observing the situation while talking about his plan.

He retracted the telescope and pointed to two small peaks that were faintly visible beyond the distant mountains.

"I have deployed two regiments there, intending to give him a head-on blow and treat the visitor from afar properly."

Li Xiaogong looked at the two mountains and nodded with satisfaction: "The terrain is good."

The Second Army Commander smiled and turned to the communications officer and asked, "Can the Air Force come over to support us?"

The staff officer stood at attention and replied: "The Air Force has responded and is ready to support us in combat at any time."

"Also, the Sky Fortress Corps has arrived. As long as we get through tonight, we can call for support anytime tomorrow."

"very good!"

The Second Army Commander smiled confidently and said to Li Xiaogong: "We have control of the air. We will definitely win this battle."

After saying this, he sighed again: "It's just that the heavy armored brigade can't move, otherwise I can beat them black and blue with just one legion."

Li Xiaogong frowned and reminded: "The Lord said not to underestimate any enemy. This is their territory. Once they are dispersed, it will be much more troublesome for us to clean up."

"We received news this morning that a joint army has set out towards us. We cannot let these monkeys hold us back. We must try to annihilate them all if possible."

"That's why I asked you to show weakness to the enemy so as not to scare them away."

The commander of the Second Legion smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

Because most of the army had not arrived at the designated position, his superiors ordered him to defend the position and show weakness to the enemy so as not to scare away the enemy.

But as a powerful main force, this kind of thing of fighting a weak battle was the first time for him.

The plan of sending out two regiments to deal a heavy blow to the enemy was all formulated by him.

Li Xiaogong agreed just now, simply because the two regiments had already set out and the enemy had already appeared. If they retreated, they would easily be discovered, so he chose to pretend not to know.

Seeing that he was about to get cocky, Li Xiaogong warned him not to affect the overall development.

"Da da da………"

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, there were fierce gunshots and explosions in the distance.

The two men raised their binoculars and observed the situation on the battlefield in the distance.

"Beat him to death!"

There were explosions of gunfire, smoke and shouts. A company commander lay next to a heavy machine gun, waving his pistol and ordering the heavy machine gunners not to show mercy.

The heavy machine gunner obeyed the order, pulled the trigger, and fired at the monkey army that was jumping in panic below in a rare manner.

Bullets flew past, knocking down figures one by one to the ground.

The confused monkey army below has not yet found where the enemy is.

Until one of the fallen officers saw the muzzle flash and figures on the top of the mountain, pointed at the mountain and shouted, "The enemy is on the mountain, shoot!"

After hearing his command, the panicked monkey army adjusted their formation and fought back towards the top of the mountain.

"Your Majesty, we have spotted the enemy on the mountain ahead, and the vanguard has already engaged them."

Sitting on a sedan chair carried by an elephant was a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes.

The king, who had already stood up and looked at the battlefield area, heard the officer's report and said after a moment's silence, "Mobilize the Eighth Army and capture the two mountains at all costs."

The officer opened his mouth, wanting to remind the enemy that the terrain there was bad and that his army would be at a great disadvantage in attacking.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and pass on the order."

Seeing that the officer was standing there in a daze, an old general next to him stepped forward and urged him.

After the officer took the order and left, the king slowly spoke: "Those two peaks are dangerous areas, just blocking the road we must pass through." "The Savage Mountains and the Rising Sun Mountains are too big, we simply can't go around them. Now that the typhoon has passed, the road will be clear in a few days with this kind of weather."

"The Yan Army is a mechanized force, and they also have a strong air force."

"If we don't take Lujiang City before their main army arrives, our only choice is to turn around and flee, hiding in the deep mountains and forests, and never come out again."

The old general nodded. He had guessed this and decided to carry out the king's order.

"I will personally watch them. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed immediately."

In order to prevent the Eighth Army from being confused and unable to execute the king's orders, the old general decided to serve as a supervisory team.

The king nodded and not only agreed to let the old general go, but also sent his own guards as the supervisory team.

The arrival of the old general and the supervision team made the Eighth Army, which was originally reluctant, come to the battlefield obediently.

With hundreds of thousands of troops, there will naturally be no shortage of artillery.

In order to capture the two mountains as quickly as possible, the old general gathered half of the army's artillery, more than 60 pieces, and placed them at the foot of the mountain.

"Oh my God, what is that? Is it a red cannon?"

On the top of the mountain, the Yan Army, which had just repelled the enemy's vanguard, was resting.

One of them had finished his repair and was looking at the soldiers below when he suddenly froze. He asked his teammates next to him and pointed at the artillery in the distance.

The company commander, who was eating dry food nearby, got up, took out his binoculars, took a look over there, and burst into laughter immediately.

"Good boy, you have a good eye. It really is a red cannon. This thing would have been outdated in the time of the old Buddha, and they actually brought it to the battlefield."

From this sentence, we can tell that this company commander came from the second world.

After all, only people in the second world would jokingly call Cixi "Old Buddha".

After a joke, the company commander put away the telescope and said to the soldiers around him, "Hide in the anti-artillery cave. Although this thing is an antique, it will be very dangerous if it is hit. I don't want to bring your ashes back and see your parents, wives, and children crying."

The soldiers laughed, carried their weapons and supplies, and went into the anti-artillery cave.

In the Second Marine Corps, more than 90% of the soldiers are from the Second World.

They had rich experience in landing operations, and 90% of their army were veterans who had participated in wars, so Zheng Zilong sent them out at the beginning of the battle.

As veterans, they deeply understand that when the terrain is not advantageous, the enemy will often suppress the upper side with artillery first, charge on the risk net, get as close as possible to the two sides, and narrow the gap in their weapons.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Just as the company commander had guessed, not long after they entered the anti-artillery cave, rumbling sounds of artillery were heard at the foot of the mountain.

What left them speechless was that most of the shells didn't even hit their positions.

"Hey, is this a hindsight? The enemy is bombarding us, why don't you react?"

The company commander picked up the oversized mobile phone, opened the door antenna and shouted.

"Fuck you, Lu Hanzi, you are the one who is talking after the fact!"

The person on the other end immediately started swearing, and the angry saliva almost came out of the microphone.

The company commander laughed and said, "Sorry, I was wrong, Captain Ma. The enemy's artillery is a threat to us. Can you deal with them first?"

The man on the other side snorted coldly and replied unhappily: "The commander ordered that we cannot knock down the enemy's artillery before they launch an attack, in case they are scared away."

"Besides, it's hard to say whether his thing can hit you when it's shot upwards. Just be at ease. We will take action if we really need to knock it down."

"Beep beep beep..."

Suddenly a whistle sounded, and the company commander's expression suddenly became serious. He said to the other side: "We are going up. Remember what you said. We are all brothers from the same place. You don't want your brothers to fall on the land of another world."

The other party was silent for a while, and then replied: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

After hearing the other party's reply, the company commander hung up the communication, picked up the semi-automatic rifle next to him, and urged the soldiers to quickly enter the position.

When they arrived at the constructed trench, the company commander looked down through the telescope and couldn't help but gasp at the scene in front of him.

At the foot of the mountain, there were densely packed human heads. These guys were like maggots, densely packed upwards from the bottom.

As the mountain was not big, they could only deploy one and a half companies, and the main force withdrew to the back of the mountain, waiting for a serious attack at any time.

As the regiment's spearhead company, they were the first to be sent out.

The old company commander who had experienced countless wars looked at the dense crowd below, took a deep breath and said: "Brothers, pay attention, the enemy's guns can also eat people."

After giving an order, he loaded his rifle with a click and waited quietly for the enemy to approach.

On a high ground in the rear, the commander of the regiment was also shocked by the scene before him.

It was not that he was frightened by the enemy's formation, but that he was fooled by such a dense charge.

He hadn't seen this kind of secret charge for many years since the emergence of heavy machine guns and heavy artillery.

"Alas, that guy Lao Lu got off lucky. With so many heads, what a great achievement he must have made!"

The chief of staff who was watching from the side couldn't help but express his envy.

The commander rolled his eyes at him, put away his binoculars, walked to the communicator next to him and ordered: "Fire at half the base number of the attacking enemy."

After giving the order, he turned around and looked at the staff officer: "No matter how many merits you have, they are not as valuable as the lives of my brothers." (End of this chapter)
