Chapter 1025 Battle of the Three Emperors
The Wei army marched south with 30 people, and the consumption of food, grass and manpower was huge.

The State of Wei transported the food soldiers to Hengzhou by water, and the rest of the road was carried by shoulders and hands. Nearly a million civilians were all over the mountain roads of the Nanling Mountains.

Although Wei Guo's army has sufficient food, it cannot maintain such consumption for a long time.

This made Gao Yihuan a little puzzled. The Qin Dynasty fought every year, and more than [-] troops marched south to Baiyue. The south was undeveloped and it was savage. How did Qin do it.

In this battle, Gao Yihuan's appeal was first a quick decision. As soon as the Wei army arrived, he began to prepare to attack Shaoguan.

Three days later, Zhu Cihong stood on the wall of the pass, and saw that there were trenches dug by the Wei army all over the pass, and the iron helmets in the trench were crowded. He couldn't help but wondered, "Usually when the army attacked the city, they would fill up the trenches and the moat. Why did the Wei thieves instead?" Having dug so many trenches, isn’t it setting up obstacles for yourself.”

Wang Yan explained: "Your Majesty, generally speaking, when attacking, in order to make it easier for the equipment to get close to the city wall, the attacking party hopes that the road below the city is smooth. However, nowadays, the firearms are powerful, and large equipment is destroyed by firearms on the road before they get close to the city wall. , During the charging process, the body of the soldiers is exposed, and it is easy to be shot by the firearms on the city. Therefore, there are two points to pay attention to when attacking the city now.

Huang Degong said with a sullen face: "Wang Fujun is right. Your Majesty, look at the trench dug by the Wei thief. There are many people inside. The Wei thief can go directly to the city along the trench. It is difficult for cannons and thunder to hit him. "

With the development of firearms, the previous bulky equipment was gradually eliminated, which Zhu Cihong was not used to.

At this time, he looked at Wei Jun's ditch, and suddenly found that there was a crowd of people in the deep ditch in the distance, and there were a few cows leaking out of their backs, as if they were pulling a giant.

Zhu Cihong pointed there, "What is that?"

Huang Degong looked over and saw a few cows, each pulling an object covered with a red cloth, slowly approaching Guancheng along the trench.

Huang Degong's face was gloomy, "Your Majesty, that is Wei thief's mortar, which can fire explosive bullets, and its power is astonishing."

"Siege mortars." Zhu Cihong frowned. When he was in Nanjing, he had ordered the Ministry of Industry to manufacture such artillery and explosive bombs. However, Nanjing had already fallen before the army was equipped.

Hearing the words, Wang Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the city is dangerous, please go down to the city as soon as possible."

Zhu Cilang knew that the bombs were powerful, so he took another look outside the city, and said seriously: "Duke Yasukuni, Shaoguan will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the city is here and the people are here!" Huang Degong clasped his fists solemnly.

Surrounded by the ministers, Zhu Cihong then walked down the pass city, but at this moment, there was a loud noise outside the city, and a cloud of white smoke immediately rose from the ground in the distance.

Zhu Cihong hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw an iron bullet flying over the top of the city and flying towards the pass.

At first, the iron bullet was just a black spot, but in the blink of an eye, it quickly enlarged, drew an arc in the sky, hit the street behind the pass, and exploded instantly.

There was a violent explosion with a "boom", and a gust of wind blew up the tiles and thatch of the house behind the door, and then fell down again with a crackling sound.

The loud noise from the explosion was deafening, and the smoke and dust billowed. The streets after the gate were filled with smoke and dust. The guards were so frightened that they immediately used shields to protect Zhu Cihong.

When the Wei army attacked Huguang, they used a large number of mortars. The soldiers of the Ming army were used to this kind of artillery. After the explosion, they beat the dust and cursed loudly.

It was the first time Zhu Cihong saw the mortar bombardment, his face was instantly livid, but he was stunned, and he couldn't help thinking that Wei Jun could not win.

At this moment, the Wei Army mortars fired in unison, and almost at the same time, the Wei Army soldiers jumped out of the trench and launched a charge.

When the soldiers of the Ming army heard the sound of the cannons, Wang Yan hurriedly said, "Quickly, take Your Majesty away!"

Surrounded by people, Zhu Cihong left Guancheng in a hurry, while pillars of smoke rose from behind him.

~~~~~~
The capital of Siam.

In the wilderness, soldiers of the Zhou army, wearing infantry armor, advanced like a wall with spears in their hands. The spearhead pierced into the abdomen of the Toungoo man without hindrance.

In front of the Zhou army's flintlock gun formation, gunpowder smoke filled the air, obscuring vision, and the front line was covered with corpses of Toungoo people.

Zhou Jun's soldiers retreated after firing a gun and raised their guns. Another row of soldiers stepped forward and leveled the muskets together.

In front of the battle line, Zhou Jun's firecrackers roared and their flames flickered, and the Toungoo people under the guns retreated like a tide.

At this time, the Chinese army sounded a passionate trumpet drum, and the war elephant raised its front hoof, swung its nose upward, and let out a long cry, and then smashed its two hooves to the ground, causing the earth to shake, and Zhou Jun's war elephant rushed out.

"Kill!" Liu Zongmin yelled angrily, and Zhou Jun's cavalry followed the elephant and galloped out.

The galloping elephants knocked the Toungoo people in front of them into the air. The formation of the Toungoo people was completely chaotic.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Sun Kewang took away the binoculars. Compared with fighting the Wei army, the war with these Nanyang natives was undoubtedly much easier.

He, a loser who had been defeated repeatedly in the Central Plains, became a victorious general here, but Sun Kewang was not very happy in his heart, defeating an opponent who didn't even have to wear clothes was really not worth showing off.

"Your Majesty, once the Dongyu people are defeated, the whole Tiannan will be my Da Zhou's world." Xu Yixian was excited.

With a straight face, Sun Kewang raised his right hand, and was about to order the whole army to pursue, when Liu Wenxiu galloped over and presented a military report to Sun Kewang, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent request for help from Nanming."

Sun Kewang frowned slightly, took it and opened it to watch, his face immediately sank.

This is the second time Nanming asked for help, Xu Yixian asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what did Zhu Cihong say?"

Sun Kewang handed him the letter, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Yihuan's troops are attacking Shaoguan, and Zhu Cihong asked me to send troops to rescue him. If I don't rescue him in Dazhou, Nanming will withdraw to Qiongzhou and hand over Guangdong to Gao Yihuan. Let the Wei army directly threaten my Shenglong City."

Xu Yixian looked it over in a hurry and exclaimed, "Wei Jun came so fast!"

Sun Kewang originally wanted to solve Toungoo, integrate the southeast peninsula, and then fight the Wei army, but he didn't want the Wei army to hit Lingnan so soon.

"The Ming army is really incompetent!" Sun Kewang cursed angrily, then pulled the rein of his horse, and ordered: "Let Liu Zongmin continue to cover up and kill Dongyu, and the rest of the troops pack up and prepare to return to Shenglong."

"Your Majesty is going to rescue the Ming army!" Xu Yixian asked.

Sun Kewang's face was gloomy, "Your lips are dead, your teeth are cold, even if you don't save Zhu Cihong, I will go back to defend Shenglong, lest the Wei army take advantage of the situation and enter Annan!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Kewang took the reins of his horse and ran back to the camp.
