Chapter 836: Red Cannon

The Xia army, the Ming army, and millions of troops fought a decisive battle in western Liaoning. The strength of the two great princes was extremely huge, covering the entire battlefield mightily.

Chutian asked Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu to serve as the left and right wings, and personally faced the Liaodong army in Mingguan.

The Ming army on the opposite side couldn't see the end at a glance, and the darkness was overwhelming.

In the whole of East Asia, apart from Chutian, Mingguan has the most powerful cavalry corps.

"Three hundred thousand, or four hundred thousand?"

The last time Chutian fought against cavalry of this size, the enemy was Genghis Khan Temujin.

Now, Chutian once again faced a large number of cavalry.

On the opposite side, there are many cavalry such as Guanning cavalry, Hongwu cavalry, and Longcheng cavalry.

Chutian's Imperial Guard Corps, with the Shenji Battalion and the Women's Corps as the central army.

Ekaterina's reinforcements served as a reserve.

"The red cannon of the Qing army..."

Chutian already knew Mingguan's cards in advance.

The red cannon is an imitation of the naval gun used by Western warships in the 16th century, which can cause considerable damage to wooden boards.

If you are hit, the consequences can be imagined.

However, Mingguan may not have the production blueprint of the red cannon, and it is very likely that it is just a prop of consumable nature.

After all, Chutian had never heard of any lord who possessed this special firearm.

As a player, Chu Tian was naturally in awe of firearms.

The two armies spread out, and both sides invested in the army, looking for opportunities.

Teams of soldiers and horses occupy dangerous terrain and confront each other.

Mingguan planted 30 cannons in red clothes at a higher place, and Qing army artillerymen were deployed in the artillery position by Mingguan. Ming army general Hong Chengchou, who was obtained from the Battle of Songjin, led a team of infantry and cavalry to protect the artillery.

"With Chu Zimou's personality, once the cannon in red clothes shows its power, he will be impatient to send a cavalry to attack the artillery position."

When Mingguan deployed the red cannon, it seemed that he could already foresee what would happen in the future.

Nine out of ten Chutian will use cavalry with cold weapons to harvest artillery positions.

Compared with the original red cannon, it was impossible for the artillerymen to fight hand-to-hand when attacked by cavalry.

"Kong Youde, you and Hong Chengchou are guarding the cannon in red. Four of the eight banners of the Han army are handed over to you."

In order to protect the red cannons, Mingguan gave Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde about 40,000 troops, which can not only guard the artillery positions, but also serve as attacking troops.

Hong Chengchou was the main general of the Ming army in the Battle of Songjin. Although he was not a first-rate general such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, he was also a second-rate general.

The cannons in red were deployed on the flanks, and Hong Chengchou looked at the Xia army's position not far away.

In the battle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the red-clothed cannons certainly cannot cover the entire battlefield, and may only threaten tens of thousands of people. Therefore, Mingguan did not fully expect that thirty red-clothed cannons could decide the outcome.

These thirty red cannons were used by Mingguan to deal with the Xia army on the right, that is, Cao Cao's army.

Murong Ba and Murong Ke led the soldiers and horses of the Murong Xianbei tribe as the main force, and the red cannons provided shock and cover.

"How powerful is the red cannon?"

Although the Murong Xianbei tribe represented by Murong Ba and Murong Ke were rebellious, they were always afraid of the pressure of Mingguan.

Don't dare to really rebel.

Now Mingguan suddenly took out a trump card to frighten the Xianbei cavalry.

Murong Xianbei had never seen a cannon in red before, he could only see dozens of cold and hollow bronze muzzles pointing in the direction of Xia Jun.

This is a firearm from the late Ming Dynasty, and it has not been used since Mingguan brought it back.

"It is said that any strong general who is hit head-on by the cannon in red will be killed in all likelihood."

Murong Ba still had confidence in his own force, but Murong Ba was shocked by Mingguan's words. Even if he stood in front of the red-clothed cannon and was hit by the red-clothed cannon, he would probably die instantly.

"The opposite seems to be Cao Mengde's tiger and leopard cavalry."

Murong Ke was always observing Xia Jun on the opposite side.

Familiar opponent.

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry faced off against the Murong family's Dragon City cavalry, and the two sides were like fire and water.

The combination of Cao Cao, Xun You, and Guo Jia and Murong Ba and Murong Ke have back and forth, and it is difficult for anyone to achieve significant results.

"Dragon City Iron Cavalry and Tiger Leopard Cavalry are siblings. We can only hope that the red-clothed cannon can open up the situation."

Just as Cao Cao had a headache for Murong Ba's dragon city cavalry, Murong Ba was also very afraid of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cao Cao didn't know how unlucky he would be.

Cao Cao received an order from Chutian, and Chutian asked all generals to guard against the red cannons of the Ming army.

"What red cannon?"

Cao Cao was at a loss when he received the order.

Cao Cao had already seen the matchlock guns of the Shenji Camp, but the Shenji Camp was not equipped with bronze cannons, so most of the generals of the Chutian faction did not know the existence of the red cannons.

"I heard that it is a firearm that is more powerful than the bed crossbow. Since the lord wants us to be more prepared, then we must be careful."

Guo Jia followed Cao Cao from Ji County to western Liaoning. It was precisely because Guo Jia and Xun You were advising Cao Cao that Cao Cao was not framed by Murong Ke.

Cao Cao disagreed: "Murong Ba's Dragon City cavalry and Murong Ke's serial iron horses, in my opinion, are more threatening than this red cannon. The Dragon City cavalry has extremely high attack power, and the chain of iron horses formed The formation is indestructible, and the two iron cavalry cooperate with each other to cross the world, even the tiger and leopard cavalry are hard to beat."

Cao Cao suffered a lot under Murong Ba and Murong Ke.

Even Ran Min, the king of Wu mourning, couldn't break through Murong Ke's serial iron horse, which shows the defensive power of the serial iron horse.

Murong Ba is the sharpest spear of the Xianbei tribe, and Murong Ke is the strongest shield.

In terms of scale, Cao Cao's words are also good, because the direct casualties caused by dozens of red cannons to Xia's army are definitely not as good as tens of thousands of high-level heavy cavalry.

Dozens of red-clothed cannons can injure thousands of Xia's army at most, and the cavalry of Murong Ba and Murong Ke can completely cause tens of thousands of casualties to Xia's army.

"However, the red-clothed cannon shouldn't be that simple. Could it be a tenth-tier unit?"

Chutian deployed the entire decisive battle position at a high place and lined up his troops.

The red-clothed cannon owned by Mingguan did not seem to be simple in Chutian's view.

In Bannerlord, each troop has its own panel and characteristics.

If it is the same as the reality, dozens of bronze cannons are indeed not enough to change the outcome of the battle of millions of soldiers and horses. After all, Chutian forces have many elites, and they will not be frightened by the red cannons.

However, it is precisely because each unit has its own abilities that this is the scary part.

Even the Iron Armored Elephant is divided into nine ranks by the system, with characteristics such as "defense specialization" and "violence".

The red-clothed cannon is also a unit in theory, and the artilleryman of the red-clothed cannon is likely to be a tenth-tier unit.

Chu Tian had never seen a tenth-tier unit.

"Wait, if Mingguan is defeated, maybe these red-clothed cannons will fall into my hands... It would be great if I could get the blueprints, production buildings, and corresponding units of the red-clothed cannons."

Chu Tian couldn't help being jealous of this elite army.

The Chutian faction does not lack cavalry, nor does it lack much infantry, but there is a lot of demand for long-range units.

It is said that the United States in the American Civilization Zone is famous for its firearms.

If Chutian wanted to defeat the American civilization, he naturally needed a batch of firearms as long-range arms to check and balance.

Although the red-clothed cannon was a copy of the European-style marine cannon, after all, it was localized and it was considered one of the top firearms in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"It's unbelievable that a lord in the Eastern Han Dynasty got the artillery."

Yekaterina couldn't believe it when she learned that the enemy army on the opposite side had artillery.

The first lord to obtain artillery appeared in the Eastern Han District, and was obtained by the Eastern Han District lord in the form of dungeon loot.

"It seems that I underestimated the last epic battle. Many lords got some interesting things..."

Probably because the battle of Kunyang went too smoothly with Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, so Chu Tian didn't take it seriously for the fifth epic battle.

In fact, each lord can always get some weird props and rewards because of the different civilizations and periods of the dungeons he participated in.

The characteristic "Son of the Plane" acquired by Chutian is also a strange characteristic, one of the strangest characteristics in "The Lord", and it has no clear effect.

Apart from Chutian and Mingguan, the other lords actually obtained some wonderful things.

"The last epic battle, what reward did you get?"

Chu Tian suddenly became interested in the battle that Yekaterina participated in.

Ekaterina is also a great lord and is eligible to participate in the fifth epic battle, so it stands to reason that Ekaterina should also be rewarded.

"It's a secret."

Ekaterina did not answer Chu Tian directly.

Chu Tian frowned slightly.

He hasn't had a chance to see Ekaterina's panel until now.

As the empress of Tsarist Russia, Ekaterina's background accumulated in twelve years should be quite exaggerated, at least not as simple as the surface.

In the future, I have to find a way to find out about Ekaterina.

"Will Mingguan deploy red cannons in the middle or on the flanks? It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, the Eastern army liked to deploy the bronze cannons in front of the Chinese army, bombarding the opponent's morale, and then advancing. The Western army likes to place the bronze cannons Artillery deployed on the flanks."

Mingguan's deployment of the army is a secret, and even Chutian's spies cannot obtain the deployment of the Ming army, so they can only guess where the red cannon deployed by Mingguan is based on the situation.

Mingguan is a player, so he will not use Eastern or Western habits rigidly, making it even more elusive.

This is why, in many civilized areas, the players dominate, because the players take advantage of it to a large extent.

Players in the Eastern Han District may not only use Eastern tactics, but sometimes also use Western tactics, or tactics of nomadic civilization.

The Xia Army and the Ming Army continued to gather, and all the main armies had already lined up.

The battlefield in western Liaoning was full of chills.

In Lone Bamboo City, Sun Chuanting, the guard, noticed that the Xia army's attack suddenly slowed down. He was keenly aware that his lord Mingguan was about to fight King Xia to the death. .

Both Xia Jun's siege troops and Guzhu City's defenders were waiting for the result of the decisive battle.

The side that wins the decisive battle has everything, while the side that loses has nothing.

At this time, the ownership of Lone Bamboo City is no longer important, and the outcome of the decisive battle is crucial.

Geng Yan and Cheng Yu, who were in charge of attacking the inner city of Guzhu City, stopped their offensive and confronted Sun Chuanting while waiting anxiously.

Except for the two, the other generals were basically transferred to participate in the decisive battle.

"This battle may determine the ownership of the northern part of the Han Empire. If the lord wins, it is basically only a matter of time before Liaodong and Guanzhong are pacified. Liaodong may collapse due to the failure of this battle."

As a counselor, Cheng Yu was very clear about the situation.

Among the three major princes in the north, two of them will have a decisive battle, and the victor will be stronger.

In order to storm Liaodong City, Xia Jun lost many soldiers and horses, in order to lure the Liaodong Army in Mingguan to fight quickly.

In addition to the princes within the Han Empire, the lords of other civilized areas are also always paying attention to the progress of the Northern War of the Han Empire.

They don't want a great conqueror to appear in the Han Empire so soon, otherwise the civilization around the Han Empire will be under too much pressure.

In the waters of the Luzon Kingdom, the new shogunate Nobunaga Oda, commanding the Dongying Navy, attacked Manila, the royal city of the Luzon Kingdom, and had a side-to-side battle with the Luzon Navy.

Two medium-sized civilizations clashed next to the suzerain country, and the suzerain civil war could not intervene in the war between them for a while.

The Shimadzu family samurai from Kyushu chopped down the Luzon soldiers on the deck. Holding a samurai sword, the Shimadzu family killed dozens of people in a row, and cleaned half of the deck almost by himself.

The warships of Dongying and Luzon are not comparable to the warships of the Han Empire, but the two civilizations are facing each other, and no one can benefit from the size of the ships.

The expeditionary force sent by the Oda shogunate defeated the Luzon fleet with the bravery of the samurai.

Oda Nobunaga stood on top of the largest Antaka ship, his eyes reflected the raging fire on the sea.

He is not the opponent of the Han Empire, so he can only bring the big names from Dongying to bully Luzon and divert the internal conflicts in the civilized area.

It is a common method used by lords to launch wars abroad and divert domestic conflicts.

In the Kingdom of Macedonia, Alexander was also concerned about what he considered the most powerful opponent, Chu Tian's every move.

"Liaoxi in the Han Empire... If one day, I can go to the west of Liaoning to be called the Great Emperor."

Alexander learned from the players that Liaoxi is tens of thousands of miles away from Macedonia, and he can only use the teleportation array to expedition to Liaoxi.
