Chapter 405: Exploring Three Thousand Miles

Lu Li felt that this battle would allow Li Chao to recognize the reality, but... some people just couldn't recognize the reality.

A few days later, the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty learned that the 30,000-strong army led by Wu Yuan had been completely destroyed, but it did not stop there, nor did it mean to surrender and admit defeat.

Immediately, the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty, with the general Ruan Gan as the marshal, summoned an army of 200,000 people, and sent troops to conquer the Ming army in Jinlan Bay.

These 200,000 troops have already done their best in the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty.

Except for the 20,000 troops stationed on the northern border, all the troops that could be mobilized in Jiaozhi were assembled.

After receiving the report from the scouts, Lu Li was also a little shocked.

Jiaozhi Li Dynasty and Daming fought a border war for many years. I am afraid that they are also worried that they will be liquidated if they surrender and surrender, so they simply resist to the end.

Such a broken jar also brought a lot of pressure to Lu Li.

200,000 troops!

Lu Li only had 10,000 soldiers in his hands, a huge disparity of twenty times.

Although Lu Li's weapons and equipment are three hundred years ahead of the world, it is still very difficult to win a battle with twenty times the disparity of troops.

Of course, this battle is not without merit. Once the 200,000 army is overturned, the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty is basically an empty shell.

Therefore, this battle requires serious consideration.

Turning on the map, Lu Li carefully observed the terrain near Jinlan Bay, preparing to build a solid position with defense as the offense.

It's a must!

No matter how confident Lu Li was, he would not be able to attack the enemy's army of 200,000 with 10,000 soldiers. Defensive counterattack is inevitable.

Abandon the formation duel, build a defensive position behind Cam Ranh Bay, and block the enemy in trench mode. The firepower density of the artillery plus the rifle can cause huge damage to the enemy.

It's just... once the enemy casualties are too high, they will run!

Lu Li's eyes swept across the map and saw a river near Jinlan Bay, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Come here, immediately send sailors to measure the water depth of the Jinlan River to determine whether the destroyer can enter the Jinlan River."

If the destroyers can enter the Jin Ran River, twenty destroyers and 480 artillery pieces will block the way back, and they will be bombed to cry!

Subsequently, the fleet sent a small boat into the Jin Ran River, measured the water depth of the river, and determined that the destroyer could enter the river and would not run aground.

Lu Li laughed loudly, Li Chao's army of 200,000 people... It's over!

Afterwards, 20,000 "labourers" and 10,000 soldiers worked intensively on a hilly area behind Cam Ranh Bay to build defensive positions.

Thanks to the excellent performance of the cement and the hard work of the laborers, the emergency construction of the defensive positions was completed within ten days.

The assembly and march of the 200,000 troops of the Li Dynasty naturally couldn't be faster.

It took a month before and after, before Ruan Gan's army of 200,000 people arrived in front of the Jinlan Bay position.

The 200,000-strong army was assembled, and it was a sea of ​​people. At first glance, it was densely packed with people.

Lu Li saw that the composition of the 200,000 army was relatively complicated.

In addition to the regular army of about 100,000 fully clothed and armored, there are also many patchwork troops. Weapons and equipment are also messy and various.

There are also elephant soldiers composed of tens of thousands of war elephants, which look mighty and domineering.

With an army of 200,000 people, it is naturally impossible for the entire army to attack. There is not enough space to open it, so there must be only wave after wave of attacks.

Relying on positions and guns, repel waves of attacks from the enemy, and kill the enemy's living forces on a large scale, thus laying a chance for victory.

Lu Li nodded slightly, there was no problem in this battle.

On the other side, Ruan Gan frowned tightly as he looked at Lu Li's position.

What happened to the Ming army? Why are so many trenches dug in the ground?

Moreover, the Ming army is hiding in the trenches, only showing half of their heads, what is this doing?

Don't even dare to line up, all hiding in the trenches?

Such an army, who just wants to hide in the trenches to escape before the war begins, has no fighting spirit at all, and is simply vulnerable.

Ruan Gan sneered, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

It's just... The lion fights the rabbit with all my strength. Even if the enemy is vulnerable, I will do my best.

"Elephant soldiers, attack frontally, and level the enemy's line."

"Knife and shield soldiers, flank attack."

Ruan Gan ordered, and the army began to mobilize.

The heavy cavalry composed of tens of thousands of war elephants slowly stepped out of the array and moved towards the position of Lu Li.

At the same time, two assault formations consisting of 20,000 shield soldiers circled the sides of the position, preparing to attack from the flanks.

This was only the first wave of attacks, and Ruan Gan also prepared three consecutive waves of assault plans.

However, in Ruan Gan's view, under the first round of attacks, the Ming army's position should have been leveled by the war elephants.

Under the impact of tens of thousands of war elephants, even a small mountain will be leveled.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Heavy war drums blared.

Ten thousand war elephants, lined up in a huge battle formation, rushed towards Lu Li's position.

The heavy elephant legs stomped on the ground, and there were bursts of rumbling sounds, like rolling thunder and shaking the ground.

This power, like a tsunami and landslide, is really scary.

"The elephant soldiers are nearly two kilometers away!"

The staff officer reported to Lu Li that the elephant soldiers had already reached the maximum effective range of the artillery.

"After approaching 1,500 meters, the artillery fire pushed forward and covered it!"

Shooting at the maximum range, the hit rate cannot be guaranteed, and it is a waste of ammunition. Let’s start bombing from 1,500 meters!

After a while, the elephant soldiers rushed to a position 1,500 meters away from the position.

"Fire!"

Hundreds of artillery salvos fired, and the bullets were placed at 1,500 meters, covering the position.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of artillery shells smashed into the front of the elephant soldiers, and a violent explosion slammed into the air. The smoke filled the air, the flames were churning, and the flying shrapnel and soil and gravel swept all over the place.

For a while, the Xiangbing front liners turned their backs on their horses and swept a large area.

The next moment, the second round of artillery bombardment came down again.

Big pits exploded on the ground, and the bodies of the war elephants and the elephant soldiers fell.

Continuous artillery bombardment and intensive artillery bombardment in the queue of elephant soldiers caused huge damage.

Except for a few panicked war elephants, who rushed towards Luli's position and were killed by the infantry on the way, most of the war elephants turned around and ran.

The elephant soldiers in front turned around and fled, and the elephant soldiers in the back were still charging, and the two sides collided, causing chaos.

"Artillery advance!"

Seeing this, Lu Li hurriedly ordered.

The next moment, hundreds of artillery pieces, starting from a distance of 1,500 meters, extended their shelling forward, all the way to a maximum range of 2,000 meters.

Under such a violent blow, the collapse of the elephant soldiers is inevitable.

Ruan Gan was also very shocked by the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army. He could not understand why the shells of the Ming army still exploded.

Seeing the chaos of the elephant soldiers, Ruan Gan secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, there were no infantry behind the elephant soldiers to follow the charge, and the battle formations were far apart. Otherwise, these crazy elephants would help the Ming army trample to death countless people. of.

"The elephant soldiers gathered the troops and charged again."

Ruan Gan saw that the two sword and shield soldiers attacking the Ming army's flank had approached the Ming army's position and were about to launch an attack. Their attack would inevitably contain the Ming army's artillery fire. must be irresistible.

After a while, the elephant soldiers finally gathered the troops and assembled again.

The two sword and shield soldiers who circled the Ming army's flank also approached the Ming army's position and were ready to attack.

"Elephant soldiers attack!"

With an order, the elephant soldiers assembled again and rushed towards Lu Li's position again.

The sword and shield soldiers on the flanks also shouted, raised their shields, raised their machetes, and rushed towards the army formation from both wings.

"This time, let's see how you can stop it!"

Ruan Gan looked at the battle formation in front of him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Things were exactly as Ruan Gan had expected. When the sword and shield soldiers on both wings launched a charge, the Ming army's artillery turned its direction and blasted towards the formation of the sword and shield soldiers.

Without artillery blocking, the elephant soldiers will surely be able to step on the Ming army position!

Ruan Gan was full of confidence.

However... he could not have predicted that the two sword and shield troops attacking from the flanks would collapse so quickly.

Under the intensive bombardment of artillery and the intensive firing of rifles, the two sword and shield soldiers, each composed of 20,000 people, collapsed in the blink of an eye.

The cold-weapon troops lined up in dense formations and charged collectively were completely living targets in front of the rifle and artillery.

The rate of fire of the rifle was fifteen rounds per minute, and in just one minute, it exploded like a violent storm.

The artillery fire rate of six rounds per minute almost ploughed the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers.

In just a few minutes, the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers attacking from the flank was instantly blown up.

Except for some of the rout soldiers screaming and fleeing frantically, most of the sword and shield soldiers turned into corpses.

At this time, the elephant soldiers charging for the second time were still more than 500 meters away from Lu Li's position.

Although the speed of an elephant is not as fast as that of a war horse, it takes two to three minutes for a distance of 500 meters.

However... this five hundred meters distance is a natural moat that cannot be crossed.

Hundreds of artillery bombs kept bombing, as if to shred everything in front of them.

More than 10,000 rifles were fired intensively, and the whistling bullets were like a hurricane.

With such a huge target as the elephant, it is still a group charge in a dense formation, and it is impossible to miss it with closed eyes.

A ten-millimeter rifle bullet, even if an elephant takes one shot, will suffer heavy damage, not to mention more than one or two shots at all.

The charge of the elephant soldiers was cut off in an instant, and the extended artillery fire exploded from 500 meters to 2,000 meters. There were only countless corpses on the way to the charge, and no more living things.

Forty thousand swordsmen and shields, only a few hundred escaped. Of the ten thousand war elephants, only a thousand survived.

During the First World War, the 200,000-strong army lost 70,000. (Elephant soldiers, one elephant, three people)

Ruan Gan's eyes widened, his body stiffened, and his face turned pale.

Such a Ming, can we really fight against it?

Such an opponent cannot be defeated at all!

The entire army cannot be destroyed here. Once the 200,000 army is wiped out, the Cochin Li Dynasty will cease to exist.

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops! Retreat!"

Although he knew that Ruan Gan's political future and life would come to an end when he returned to the court after the order was issued, he still issued the order to withdraw his troops.

It's a pity...it's too late!

"Dudu..."

On the Jinlan River behind them, twenty destroyers were lined up and stopped on the river. A naval gun on the side of the ship aimed at the rear of the Cochin army.

"Fire!"

With a single order, the naval artillery fires!

The dense shells smashed into the rear of the Cochin army like a torrential rain.

The flames roared, the smoke filled the air, and the violent explosion instantly wiped out a large section of the rear formation of the Cochin army.

Done!

Seeing this scene, Ruan Gan spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell on his back.

"Dick dick dick..."

In the rear position, a Ming army trumpeter, standing under the flag of the sun and the moon flying high, blew a rapid charge!

"Kill it!"

Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers dressed in black picked up rifles with three-edged bayonets, and rushed out of the trenches shouting.

There was no way forward, and there was a chase later, and the leading general had already vomited blood and fell into a coma, and the Cochin Army formation was in chaos.

"Surrender without killing!"

This burst of shouting seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Cochin Army formation collapsed instantly. Countless people dropped their swords and guns and knelt down to surrender.

In the First World War, he defeated a 200,000-strong army of Jiaozhi, wiped out 70,000 enemies, captured 130,000 prisoners, and captured countless soldiers, armor and materials.

Another amazing victory!

Lu Li was a little helpless. There are too many prisoners!

These captives must not remain in Cam Ranh Bay, they must be transported out.

In the next few days, Lu Li dispatched a transport fleet to load these prisoners onto ships and send them to Bay Island, Qiongzhou, Da Nang, and Champaign, which had just been occupied by the squadron.

A group of "labourers" were transported from Da Nang and Champa to Cam Ranh Bay to act as the builders of Cam Ranh Bay.

After destroying these 200,000 troops, the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty was already an empty shell.

Lu Li left 2,000 people stationed in Jinlan Bay, and led the remaining 8,000 people to head inland.

Three days later, the army arrived at Shenglong City, and Li Weining, the emperor of the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi, went to the emperor's clothing and the emperor's name. As King Yi'an of Daming, he pleaded guilty to Huating Hou Luli.

For the crime of "disrespecting the emperor, disobeying the emperor", Lu Li took King Nie An into custody, along with members of the royal family and major civil and military officials of the Li Dynasty.

Leaving another 2,000 soldiers stationed in Shenglong City, Lu Li took 6,000 soldiers and horses and King Yi'an's surrender order, and marched north to Laizhou City, which is at the junction of Jiaozhi and southern Yunnan.

After Lu Li produced the surrender order of King Yi'an, the defender of Laizhou surrendered.

After occupying the Laizhou city gate, all the defenders of Laizhou were disarmed and imprisoned. Lu Li sent troops to send a letter to Mu Chaobi, the Duke of Qian, to inform that Jiaozhi had been levelled, and asked the Duke of Qian to send troops to station in Jiaozhi.

The Duke of Qian, Mu Chaobi, received Lu Li's letter and couldn't believe it was true.

"You said... Huating Hou has pacified Jiaozhi?"

Mu Chaobi raised his eyes and looked at the sergeant in black who delivered the letter, "Didn't the Marquis of Huating fight Japanese pirates in the South China Sea? How did they reach Jiaozhi? Besides, how could the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi be defeated so easily? "

"My Marquis is in Laizhou City, Jiaozhi. You can ask my Marquis in person."

The sergeant in black replied with a smile.

"He even occupied Laizhou City?"

Mu Chaobi's eyes widened, "Mamapi! Huating Hou even knocked down Laizhou City, what's the matter with me? Get a hammer!"

Afterwards, Mu Chaobi hurried to Laizhou City with the cavalry guards and the sergeant in black.

Sure enough, a bright sun and moon flag hangs high above Laizhou Chengguan.

After hurriedly entering the city gate and talking with Lu Li, Mu Chaobi realized that Lu Li had already hit the southernmost city of Zhancheng all the way to the northernmost city of Laizhou, Jiaozhi, Annan and Zhancheng, all of which belonged to the Ming Dynasty!

What the hell! This is a three thousand miles to open up territory!

You Huating Hou, I'm afraid you're not going to become a prince!
