Chapter 279: Choice, Weapon Gap Across the Ages

Looking at Dorgon, who was talking eloquently and in high spirits, the ministers below couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

For a moment, they all seemed to believe that their Qing Dynasty was not inferior to the Celestial Empire, and could even negotiate with it on an equal footing.

"."

Fan Wencheng opened his mouth and swallowed back some inappropriate words.

"Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi!"

"The slave is here!"

Geng Jingzhong and the other man looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and finally stood up quickly and knelt in the middle.

"You two will lead 200,000 of the most elite new musket troops and 100,000 heavy artillery troops respectively, and rush to the border to resist the invasion of the Celestial Empire.

Abatai, you lead 100,000 musket cavalry, and then provide support

Gurtai Mang, you"

After quickly issuing the combat order, Dorgon took two steps forward, releasing his overwhelming power without any concealment. The golden dragon of national destiny above slightly lowered his eyes, and his domineering aura seemed to cover the sky and the sun, instantly covering everyone.

In an instant, everyone felt a terrifying pressure attacking their hearts, as if they would die instantly if they slightly violated Dorgon's will.

Involuntarily, everyone's hearts trembled, and they knelt down and kowtowed to accept the order.

"Hey! I will obey your orders and will do my best until my death."

"Well, go down and prepare!"

Dorgon waved his hand, indicating that everyone could retreat and prepare for the dispatch of troops.

"Hey! I'll take my leave!"

Just when Fan Wencheng was about to leave, Dorgon suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Fan, please stay."

Fan Wencheng paused and stopped obediently.

After everyone left, Dorgon stared at Fan Wencheng and spoke in a faint voice.

"Mr. Fan, do you think we can stop the attack of the Celestial Empire this time?"

"This..."

Fan Wencheng didn't know how to answer Dorgon's straightforward question for a moment, and he couldn't help but look up at Dorgon quickly.

But he only saw Dorgon's deep eyes, which were as deep as the abyss and could not see any emotion, staring at him, and there was no expression on his face.

In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Fan Wencheng's forehead.

It seemed like a century had passed before he heard Dorgon's faint voice again.

"Mr. Fan, don't worry. If you have anything to say, please speak frankly."

To be honest, there is still some hatred between Dorgon and Fan Wencheng.

When Nurhaci was still alive, Fan Wencheng was Huang Taiji's think tank and made many plans for him to fight for the throne.

When Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, most of his brothers were also his targets of suppression.

However, with the rise of the dynasty, under the strong pressure of the Celestial Empire, their relationship gradually eased.

When the Celestial Empire's army broke through Shengjing Shenyang, Huang Taiji even sacrificed himself to stay behind and let Dorgon, Hauge and others lead the troops to migrate.

At the last moment, Huang Taiji even sent Fan Wencheng out secretly, so that he could assist Dorgon.

It's not that Huang Taiji is so noble that he is willing to sacrifice himself and stay, and he didn't think about escaping secretly.

It's really that he is responsible for the national destiny, and the golden dragon of national destiny will always follow him, so he has no possibility of escaping secretly.

After escaping, Fan Wencheng has been following Dorgon and making plans for him.

However, he was cautious in his actions and did not dare to say many things boldly, fearing that Dorgon would settle accounts with him.

At this time, hearing Dorgon asked him to speak frankly, Fan Wencheng could not help but feel a little moved. Thinking about the current situation facing the Qing Dynasty, he could not help but sigh.

"Khan, in my opinion, it is better to be prepared for both situations.

We must fight.

We have worked hard for nearly 20 years, and now our guns and firearms are quite sharp. We can't be scared away without firing a shot.

However, while resisting the attack of the Celestial Empire, we must also be prepared to evacuate and migrate at any time."

". Yeah!"

Listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Dorgon's face changed again and again, and finally he could only sigh and nodded silently.

In May of the 21st year of the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire's army met the Qing army at the border between the two countries, and it seemed that a large-scale modern war was about to begin.

Prince Wang Jingchen, sitting in the first seat on Wang Shi's left hand, looked at Ma Youzhi, the chief of staff of the Xuanwu Corps opposite him, and took out a palm-sized Xuanguang mirror from his arms and injected his true essence into it.

In an instant, the Xuanguang mirror burst into misty white light, and mysterious runes emerged one by one. As the halo flowed, it suddenly shot out a clear light facing the center of the tent.

Then, the light changed, and a large tent of the central army emerged.

The next moment, the large tent of the central army suddenly shrank, and more military camp facilities, as well as patrolling and preparing soldiers, rune shuttles, rune chariots, etc. began to appear around it.

In the end, not only did the Celestial Empire's army formations emerge one by one, but even the various arrangements of the Qing army also emerged in the picture.

Such a war is simply like turning on the map. As long as the firepower of both sides is not too different, it is basically impossible to lose.

Looking at the Qing army's deployment map and those more advanced guns and weapons, Wang Shi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haha, it seems that the Qing court Tartars are also quite educated. They have learned a lot of good things from my Celestial Empire"

"Hahaha"

Wang Shi's words immediately attracted laughter from everyone.

"Hahaha, indeed!"

"Hey, as our Celestial Empire grows stronger, which neighboring country will not be influenced by our Celestial Empire?"

Wang Shi waved his hand, suppressed the discussion of the crowd, and then bowed to Wang Jingchen.

"Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"

Wang Jingchen also bowed back, and said with a gentle smile:

"General, don't be so polite.

Before I set out, my father had told me that I was here to listen and see more, and all military matters were subject to the general's command."

"Haha, good! Then I'm overstepping my authority."

Wang Shi laughed with a smile on his face, and then his face became serious, and he began to issue orders quickly.

"First Machine Gun Battalion, lock on the enemy artillery unit forty miles away at three o'clock.

Second Machine Gun Battalion"

As orders were issued one after another, shuttles began to rise in the Celestial Empire's military camp, runes lit up, and energy halos flowed through them.

In the Qing army camp opposite, Abatai, Geng Jingzhong and others were also discussing the battle plan.

"Where is the artillery unit of the King of Zhendong?"

"They have arrived 20 miles away. It will take at least one hour to reach the intended destination and deploy the formation, probably at the end of the evening."

Abatai frowned with some dissatisfaction, and immediately ordered the messenger loudly.

"Go, inform the King of Zhendong and ask him to complete the battle plan within half an hour."

"Hey!"

Watching the messenger go down, Abatai was full of excitement and anxiety.

If they suddenly use powerful artillery to carry out saturation coverage attacks while the Celestial Empire has not reacted, they will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage to the Celestial Empire's army in one fell swoop.

However, once the Celestial Empire notices that their weapons have been upgraded, they will definitely be on guard, and the final attack effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

Time passed by in their anxious waiting, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Report~!"

Suddenly, a messenger rode over.

"Report to Lord Beile, the King of Zhendong is ready and can launch an attack at any time"

"Hahaha, good!"

Abatai stood up and cheered, and was about to order the attack.

However, the next moment, everyone felt that the sky, which was gradually getting dark, suddenly brightened again, but it was a little dazzling.

What happened?

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

The next moment, everyone heard a sudden violent explosion in the northeast.

"Boom! Boom."

"Boom boom"

At this moment, everyone even felt that the ground under their feet was shaking slightly.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then their faces changed.

In the northeast direction, isn't that the artillery position where Shang Kexi is?

Is there a problem there?

No, no, how could this be possible?

This must be Shang Kexi launching an attack in advance.

Everyone thought so in disbelief.

"Hmph, this Zhendong King actually disobeyed the agreement and launched the attack first?

When I go back, I will report to the Khan and punish him for disobeying military orders."

I don't know if it was to suppress the panic in his heart, Abatai snorted angrily and scolded loudly.

While speaking, he walked out quickly.

Geng Jingzhong and others, with a look of realization on their faces, hid the panic on their faces and also walked out quickly.

When the curtain of the big tent was opened, what came into everyone's eyes was a series of bright light columns, which were tilted towards the northeast from the Tianchao army opposite.

Looking up at the sky, it seemed that there was a stream of stars across the sky, brilliant and gorgeous.

But what it brought was death and destruction.

Looking to the northeast, a series of explosions and fires rose, and the entire artillery unit was submerged in flames.

"This, this, this"

For a moment, everyone was a little dumbfounded, and no one could speak.

What kind of attack is this? This is obviously not a cannon, let alone a musket. This is simply a punishment from heaven.

Just as everyone was stunned, they saw a bright spot rising again in the army of the Celestial Empire, followed by countless bright light beams, shooting towards them.

By the time they reacted and wanted to gather the army to form a military formation, everything was too late.

In other words, even if they formed a military formation, it would be difficult to resist such a devastating attack.

The bright streamer of light instantly submerged them.

"Boom boom boom"

Accompanied by a series of explosions, the entire military camp was submerged and destroyed.

In the central military tent of the Celestial Empire, everyone could clearly see through the image projected by Ma Youzhi that the camps of the Qing army were destroyed by energy machine guns in an instant.

After having various rune arrays, the Celestial Empire naturally could not just use them to develop industry, cars and ships.

At the beginning of the birth of the rune array, it had already begun to try to apply it to weapons.

And the energy machine gun in front of us is one of the research results.

If we say that the guns and firearms that the surrounding countries have developed by stealing some scattered runes and the firearms previously displayed by the Celestial Empire, they are considered modern weapons.

The Celestial Empire today has already entered the realm of future weapons. The gap between the two sides has not only not narrowed, but has widened an immeasurable distance.

Watching the overwhelming force destroy the Qing army of tens of millions, everyone could not help but sigh again at the importance of advanced weapons.

Prince Wang Jingchen looked at all this and could not help but wonder, what is the meaning of his military supervisor?

Such a battle.

No, for the Celestial Empire army, this can't even be called a battle, it can only be regarded as a brilliant firework.

The Celestial Empire soldiers just moved their fingers, and the Qing army was destroyed.

As a prince, he was probably just showing his face and brushing his achievements here.

This time, the battle between the two armies lasted less than a quarter of an hour from the beginning to the end.

But nearly a million Qing troops were almost wiped out.

Only in some places on the edge of the battlefield did some people survive by chance.

New Shengjing, close to the Rakshasa Kingdom, saw Dorgon fighting on the battlefield through the national destiny dragon energy, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

This.

Is this Celestial Empire really the "Celestial Empire"?

Have all the soldiers become gods and immortals? Are they all heavenly soldiers and generals?

Otherwise, how could they have such a fierce attack?

This is no longer a weapon of war, this is simply a punishment from heaven.

At this moment, even Dorgon, who is super-intelligent and strong-willed, only has one thought in his mind.

Escape, escape quickly, the farther the better, it is best to be completely away from the Celestial Empire.

If possible, he really wants to leave this world.

"Hu~!"

Dorgon took a deep breath and sensed through the dragon energy and national destiny that a series of shuttles suddenly rushed out from the border near the Celestial Empire, rushing into the Qing Dynasty from south to north and from east to west.

Along the way, whenever they encountered military facilities of the Qing Dynasty, they immediately had a wave of energy light rain, destroying them in an instant.

And after the shuttles, a series of military motorcycles rushed into the country over mountains and ridges. When they encountered villages and towns, someone would get off the car immediately, break through the defense of the villages and towns, and completely occupy and control them.

Then, the Celestial Empire's national destiny descended, and instantly enveloped these places.

At this time, the fate of the Celestial Empire was like a rapidly advancing tsunami, quickly submerging the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon, who felt this, changed his face again and again, and could not help but feel extremely discouraged.

With the fighting power of the Celestial Empire, as long as the Celestial Empire was unwilling to let them go, no matter where they fled, they would not escape death.

But soon, Dorgon cheered up again, no matter what, he had to try.

Until the last moment, who knows what the final outcome will be.

"Two days.

I only have two days"

Feeling the speed of the advancement of the Celestial Empire, Dorgon couldn't help muttering to himself, and then looked at the eunuch beside him.

"Call the civil and military ministers in Beijing, and also call Fulin."

"Ah! The slave obeys the order."

Hearing Dorgon's order, the eunuch immediately half-knelt and saluted, then stood up, bent over, and stepped back. (End of this chapter)
