Chapter 1013: Emperor Chen Conquers Chu

On the flagship Gaihai, Yu Dayou saw clearly through the binoculars the discomfited appearance of the defenders at the top of the city, and said with a grin: "A group of young ladies who have never seen the world, this is unbearable."

"Everyone, bombard Da Nang City!" Yu Dayou turned around and ordered.

The east wall of Da Nang City was only 400 meters away from the pier, and it was still within the range of the fleet's artillery.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Steel cannonballs slashed in graceful arcs in the air, like iron fists, smashing hard on the blue brick city wall, stirring up pieces of broken stone.

Splashing stone chips flew past the ears of the defenders at the top of the city, like a hail of bullets.

In less than half an hour, the seemingly indestructible city wall was cracked in all directions, like spider webs; some places were even sunken as a whole, and they were about to collapse.

"Aim at the depression, concentrate your firepower, and blast away a section of the city wall first." Yu Dayou ordered.

Immediately, the dense artillery fire was like a meteorite falling from the sky, rubbing sparks, and continuously hitting the city wall. The city wall trembled like the ground shaking and shaking.

"Crunch!"

The military flag standing on the tower was hit by a shell and broke in two.

On the top of the city, the Third Army Corps of Haiphong City was waiting in full battle. The commander of the army, Fan Tianming, frowned and looked serious. While comforting the soldiers, he ordered a counterattack.

Artillery technology is naturally not unique to Daxia, and Haiphong City has also mastered artillery manufacturing technology, but the entire industrial system is not as developed as Daxia, and cannot be mass-produced.

Thirty artillery pieces were placed on the walls of Da Nang City, and they also poured shells to attack the enemy ships parked in the port, splashing huge waves.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Because of its condescending position, although the number of artillery in Da Nang City was not comparable to that of the Yashan Fleet, it still caused great trouble to the Yashan Fleet. In a blink of an eye, three buildings and warships were destroyed and slowly sank into the water.

Countless people were hit by shells.

There is no way, the port is too small, and the forty warships of the first formation of the Yashan Fleet are arranged one after another, densely packed, as long as the enemy artillery is not a fool, it is easy to hit the target.

Yu Dayou gave the order to die, and no one dared to retreat. Facing the artillery fire at the top of the city, warships counterattacked one after another. Even if some battleships were paralyzed, as long as they were not sunk, they would continue to bombard the city wall.

The viciousness of the enemy made the defenders of Haiphong City terrified.

"This is simply a group of desperadoes!"

Seeing that the city wall was about to fall, Fan Tianming had no choice but to arrange troops to evacuate the city wall, preparing to fight the enemy in the city.

He didn't believe that after the enemy fleet landed, they could still defeat the Third Army in street fighting.

"Wow~~"

At this moment, there was a loud noise from the south of the city wall. Under the continuous bombardment of artillery, a section of the city wall was blasted with a big hole, and then collapsed.

For a while, smoke and dust billowed.

The soldiers standing on that section of the city wall screamed and fell from the top of the city, and were submerged in bricks and stones, apparently dead.

In this way, Da Nang City has fallen!

"Withdraw!" Fan Tianming no longer hesitated, and led his troops away from the city wall.

…………

Finally, the city wall collapsed, Yu Dayou showed a relieved expression on his face, his head was saved.

Then it was the Army's turn.

As the Marine Corps directly under the Yashan Fleet established a stronghold at the dock, the merchant ships carrying the Second Army Corps of the Imperial Guard and the Second Army Corps of the City Guard entered the port one by one, and quickly landed and assembled.

Since Da Nang City is the focus of the attack, how could Bai Qi not arrange for the army to follow.

At the moment when the city wall collapsed, the fate of Da Nang City and the Third Army of Haiphong City had already been doomed, and what followed was nothing but a fearless struggle, and they could not control their respective fates after all.

"charge!"

Huo Qubing led the cavalry along the blasted passage, braving fireworks, and rushed into the city first. Even in the street fighting in the city, the imperial guards were fearless.

With their superb riding skills, they will only cause even more heinous killings.

"kill!"

Mu Guiying led his troops followed closely behind.

A bloody battle broke out in the city immediately, and the people in the city were trembling and dared not go out at all.

This fight lasted for a full day and night.

Although the Third Army of Haiphong City was determined, it was ultimately unable to do so, and was beaten back by the Great Xia Army. At night, Fan Tianming wanted to run away, but Huo Qubing fell into his arms.

As everyone knows, apart from the cavalry who rushed into the city, Huo Qubing also ambushed two cavalry divisions outside the city early, waiting for the rabbit, and wiped out the remnants of the enemy in one fell swoop.

By the next morning, Da Nang City had changed its owner, and with the fall of Da Nang City, Da Xia took the first stronghold in Annan.

According to the arrangement of the Expeditionary Command, Mu Guiying's troops were stationed in Da Nang City, while Huo Qubing led his troops to the south, and cooperated with the Yashan Fleet to attack the city and capture the territory, planning to take all the southern regions of Annan.

The Fourth Army Corps of Haiphong City stationed in Embankment City suddenly fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness.

Mu Guiying's stay in Da Nang City is not as simple as defending the city. They also have a heavy responsibility and are a key part of the Annan War.

When the Yashan fleet left, they left two warships in the port, and ten mimic aircraft were parked on the deck of the battleships, which were the secret weapons reserved for Mu Guiying's department.

Success or failure, to some extent, determines the direction of the entire battle.

…………

Annan, Lu Pingcheng.

Luping City is a county seat located to the north of Haiphong City, adjacent to the Beibu Gulf, and close to the national border.

Almost when the Yashan Fleet captured Da Nang City, the First Formation of the Pacific Fleet was not to be outdone, and successfully captured this small northern city as the stronghold of the Great Xia Army in the north.

Shi Wansui, deputy general of the Expeditionary Army, personally led the First Army, Third Army, and Fifth Army of the City Guards, stationed in Luping City, and was responsible for sweeping the territory north of Annan.

There are three legions stationed in a county, which shows that Bai Qi attaches great importance to Annan and the north. After all, both the royal city Hanoi and Haiphong City are in the north, and this place is destined to be the main battlefield of the Annan War.

…………

April 7th, Haiphong City.

After losing Da Nang City and Lu Ping City one after another, Ruan Tianque was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. In particular, the sudden fall of Da Nang City dealt a fatal blow to Ruan Tianque and completely disrupted the deployment of Haiphong City.

"The Third Legion has been destroyed, and nothing will happen to the Fourth Legion!"

Two days ago, at the instigation of Ruan Tianque, the adventurers organized a large army of 500,000 people to go south, with two main goals, one is to keep Annan South, and the other is to keep the two field armies in Haiphong City.

With the destruction of the Third Army, the Fourth Army is in jeopardy, and Annan's entire south is in flames of war, and neither of the two goals may be achieved.

"I hope they can live up to expectations!" Ruan Tianque muttered to himself.

Logically speaking, with an army of 500,000 players cooperating with the Fourth Army of Haiphong City, the two armies of Daxia couldn't stop it at all. Not to mention, Da Nang City, the primary target of the attack, only has a field army stationed in Daxia.

But for some reason, Ruan Tianque always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

*************

China District, Handan City.

Just when Daxia dispatched an army of one million to attack Annan, there was another disturbance in China.

In April, the earth returns to spring, and the ice and snow melt. Even the Central Plains and the northern lands have already smelled the breath of spring. The frozen land is gradually thawing, animals end hibernation, and grass breaks out of the ground, exuding vitality.

Along with the thawing of the land, there is also the desire for war brewing in the depths of the hearts of the people. The land of the Central Plains, which has been quiet for several months, is resurgent.

This time the protagonist is [Yanhuang League].

At nine o'clock in the morning, six members of the [Yanhuang League] gathered in Handan City, and declared: "Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is cruel and heartless. He harmed the common people. He is a residual poison in the world. Please all people in the world attack him."

The words are grandiose, but there is only one meaning: "[Yanhuang League] is going to attack Xichu!"

In order to connect the territory as one as soon as possible, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Great Xia conquest, Di Chen and others willingly took the risk of "provoking a civil war" and brazenly attacked Western Chu.

It's no wonder that Di Chen was in a hurry. In the battle of Annan, the Great Xia army was in full swing, and there were frequent reports of victories. No one knew when the war would end, so Di Chen couldn't wait, so he had to act as soon as possible.

In order to make a quick decision, the [Yanhuang League] mobilized a total of 400,000 troops to put their respective territories in a precarious situation, and the border garrison dropped to a dangerous value.

If Da Xia hadn't used troops against An Nan, Di Chen and the others would never have dared to take such a risk.

"Don't miss this opportunity, never miss it again." Di Chen summed it up like this.

[Yanhuang League] As soon as the news of the attack on Chu came out, there was a lot of discussion all over the world.

Some people accuse the [Yanhuang League] of provoking a civil war when the national war is about to come, which is really hateful.

There are also people who argue for the [Yanhuang League], saying that Western Chu is a force of aborigines in the wilderness, and it is not considered a civil war at all. "Taking Western Chu, [Yanhuang League]'s strength will not decline but will increase, which is beneficial to the national war."

This is not unreasonable.

"Xichu is an ally of Great Xia, so why not count it as a civil war?!" Someone retorted.

More people complained about Daxia, thinking that in order to earn a little more national honor points for China, Daxia spared no effort to send millions of soldiers to fight outside the territory, which is epic; but [Yanhuang League] is attacking Daxia's allies at this time, it is really It's taking advantage of others' danger, not what a gentleman does, and it's despicable.

No matter which faction it is, I hope Daxia can stand up and make a statement.

Of course, this was just the player's wishful thinking. Like before, Xiagong was silent and had no intention of speaking out at all.

Players are used to it.

Someone joked: "King Xia never speaks when he can do it, how can this time be an exception."

No one believed that Da Xia would really remain indifferent.

Regarding how Daxia will respond this time, there are various versions circulating in the market. Some people say that Daxia will fight on two fronts, and will not ignore the life and death of Xichu; .

At this time, there was a gossip in Shanhai City, saying that King Xia had warned Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu years ago, but Xiang Yu was arrogant and unwilling to accept Daxia's assistance.

This time, the "truth" was revealed immediately.

Players can already foresee the tragic fate of Xichu.
