In Luoyang City, Wu Qi led Wei soldiers to enter this new city, and Chu Tian's sphere of influence officially expanded to Luoyang City in the West.
The former prosperous Luoyang City has been burned down. Before withdrawing from the new Luoyang City, Lao Qin did not burn down Luoyang, but chose to keep Luoyang.
Chu Tian didn't know what old Qin was thinking, but he didn't have to build another Luoyang City, which was undoubtedly a good thing.
"Luoyang City opened the transmission array, but it is convenient for us to move."
Chu Tian accidentally found that the new Luoyang city built by the old Qin Dynasty had returned to the scale of a large city. However, it was a pity that the imperial palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty was missing in Luoyang City.
"Send the prisoners to Kanto to prevent them from escaping. The States replenish the lost soldiers. "
Chu Tian directly led the guards into the transmission array and went to Youzhou.
Tongguan, the old Qin Dynasty repeatedly strengthened here, Tongguan city wall level reached the highest, indestructible. Tongguan is divided into Heluo and Guanzhong, with Guanzhong in the West and Heluo in the East.
A team of Qin troops, holding a long dagger, crossed the majestic Tongguan pass and entered Guanzhong.
The Qin army was somewhat depressed, and the flag of war was low.
"About 40000 Qin sharps, 3000 golden fire cavalry, 2000 flying bear troops, and 100000 low-level soldiers were killed. The whole army of Iron Eagle sharps, iron harriers and trapped camp was completely destroyed, and Gao Shun, the leader of the trapped camp, was captured."
Jia Xu reported the loss of troops and horses to Lao Qin.
Lao Qin could not help feeling: "at least 150000 soldiers were lost in the battle of Mang Mountain. 150000 people are gone. "
A troop of soldiers arrived from Xiliang to Chang'an. They were supposed to go directly to Luoyang to join forces with Lao Qin, but they came a step late.
"My Lord, Zhang Dao, who invaded Liangzhou, has been repulsed. The Qiang and di tribes have sent 30000 troops and 50000 troops to Liangzhou to take over."
Xie AI, the governor of Liangzhou, led Xu Huang and pound to Tongguan to meet Lao Qin.
The nobles of Qiang and di tribes stood behind Xie AI and met Lao Qin.
Lao Qin looked at the surrender of the Qiang and di nobles. Fu Jian, the leader of Di people, attracted Lao Qin's attention.
At present, Chang'an still has a deterrent effect on these tribes in Xiliang, but after the defeat of Lao Qin, the attitude of these tribes became very important.
Fu Jian said: "victory or defeat is a common matter in the military family. Please don't care about it. Maybe it will turn around soon. "
"Stick to Guanzhong and see if there is a turning point with the danger of mountains and rivers. I will hold a banquet in Chang'an to entertain you. Wang Jian was responsible for invading Luoyang, and Wanyan Zonghan invaded Hanoi County, which made Xia army unable to enter Guanzhong
Lao Qin regained his confidence a little and arranged two commanders to invade Yin and Hanoi counties of Henan Province occupied by the Xia army, but did not attack, so as to slow down the Xia army's attack on Guanzhong.
Luoyang is the outer line of defense for Chang'an, and Tongguan and the Yellow River can be defended if the periphery is lost.
Chang'an City, Lisi heard about the Mangshan war, fell into silence.
"Wang Lang, you can go back. If you betray the king of Qin and turn to the king of Xia, you can't obey your orders. "
Li Si rejected the proposal of Ambassador Wang Lang sent by Chu Tian.
Wang Lang was Chu Tian's subordinate when he was in Xuzhou. He had been following Chu Tian for a long time and was sent by Chu Tian to lobby Li Si.
Wang Lang said: "since emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the Yellow turban has been rampant, the world has been in dispute, the country is in danger, and the life is in urgent need. The king of Xia Dynasty has cleared up the six harmonies, swept up the eight barren places, and the surnames of Wan fell in love with each other and worshipped the virtue of the four sides. This was not taken by power, but by fate. If you come down with courtesy, you will not lose the position of marquis, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be happy
"Don't talk too much. Come and see off the guests."
Li Si threw his robe and let the guard send Wang Lang away.
Wang Lang left shangshufu and shook his head: "these people are so difficult to convince that I can't complete the task assigned to me by the king of Xia. I don't know if the king of Xia will blame him."
……
"Wang Lang failed to persuade Li Si and Zhu Ju of Chang'an."
Because Jixian County was surrounded, Chutian could only be transferred to Zhuozhou County, and then set out from Zhuozhou county to rescue Jixian County.
He learned the result of Wang Lang's lobbying.
"If they were so easy to convince, they wouldn't have so much to do. However, it does not mean that they are not willing to surrender now. "
Chutian doesn't think so.
Lao Qin's loss was not enough to lead to the collapse of Guanlong. There were 100000 people in Hedong and 150000 in Mangshan. About 250000 soldiers were killed in the battle.
When the Qin army's vitality is seriously damaged, it is estimated that more people will surrender.
"It will take ten days to gather troops and weapons. I hope Jixian can hold on for ten days."
After the war, the soldiers of Chu Tian were all bloody and recuperated in Zhuo county.
……
In the sea area near Lelang County, Gaoli, two fleets met. The Fubo regiment's Dafu ship collided with the Ming warships. With the advantage of its body shape, the Ming warships were knocked over, and the warriors and sailors on the deck fell into the water one after another.
Boom!
Another Dafu ship, nearly 50 meters long, hit a ship less than 30 meters in length. The strong impact angle was embedded in the wooden ship, and the broken wood splashed. The wooden ship appeared a deep visible bone crack, and the sea water poured into the cabin!"Shoot the arrow!"
Hundreds of rockets were fired from the Ming army ships, which hit a lucky ship, and the warship was burning in the sea.
Yu Yunwen, the commander in chief of the Fubo regiment, looked around the battlefield. Nearly a thousand ships were fighting in the sea area of Gaoli. The dense ships mixed together and covered the sea.
Ming Guan also set up a navy, engaged in trade between Liaodong, Gaoli, Japan and Jiangdong.
After the navy of Xia army and navy of Ming army met in the sea area of Gaoli, the two sides who had already had a bad relationship attacked each other.
The ships of the Xia Navy were obviously larger, while the Ming navy was more flexible.
The fleet on the opposite side dodged the large warships with their flexible power, and then launched all kinds of arrows to try to ignite the Dafu ship.
A large Fu ship has been shot by hundreds of rockets, barrels and sails have been ignited, the fire spread to the whole ship!
The Dafu ship, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, was destroyed in the fire. The sailors on the warship jumped into the sea!
"The leader of the opposite fleet is not a mediocre. If he is an ordinary general, he may have been awed by the momentum of our fleet and has no ability to fight back."
Through the reaction of Ming navy fleet, Yu Yunwen can see the standard of their commander.
"Order Zheng Zhilong to attack the other party's flagship."
The most effective general under Yu Yunwen's command was Zheng Zhilong, the ship king.
Zheng Zhilong's Dafu ship had a fight with a large merchant ship on the opposite side. Zheng Zhilong personally led Zheng Jiashui's officers and soldiers to jump on the opposite deck, and cut down the enemy soldiers on the deck with a sharp blade. Fresh blood splashed on Zheng Zhilong's face, which stimulated Zheng Zhilong's ferocity!
Ming Navy even used merchant ships to enter the war!
Two navy soldiers were fighting hand to hand on the deck. Zheng Zhilong personally knocked down several enemy soldiers and quickly occupied the whole merchant ship.
This is a fishing vessel that is forced to fly out of the net.
Zheng Zhilong wiped the blood on his face and looked around him. The smoke was rolling. The two fleets were still fighting fiercely. Hundreds of warships were burned, and the fire reflected on the sea, burning the Cold Sea red.
In addition to the most majestic Dafu ship, there are also bulky turtle ships participating in the sea battle. The dragon's head emits smoke from burning sulfur, and the turtle's mouth shoots rockets at the opposite ships.
Facing the turtle boat like an iron hedgehog, the navy of the Ming army had no way to start.
The turtle ship is covered with iron armor and has an iron cone on it. Even if the warship on the opposite side wants to engage in a fight against the side, it is impossible to start.
The turtle ship under the command of Li shunchen has greatly improved its various abilities.
Ten tortoise ships scuttled on board, overturning more than 20 boats.
If it wasn't for Dafu, these ten turtle boats would be brilliant.
The big bowl mouth blunderbusses set up by Dafu ship shot together. The white smoke was filled with smoke. Lead shot through the female wall of the opposite warship. The navy soldiers behind the wall were shot and blood holes appeared in their armor!
Although the power of the big bowl mouth gun is not as powerful as the bronze gun, it is already one of the most powerful primitive firearms.
The big bowl mouth blunderbuss first appeared in the eastern sea battle. The sound of the heavy fire blundered the Ming Navy.
Ming Navy, a general standing in the bow of a fortune ship, commanded the Ming navy to deal with Yu Yunwen's army.
Big bowl mouth blundering blunderbuss made the master tremble.
"The ships of the Xia army were equipped with firearms, and the chief general was one of the ten thousand."
The generals of the Ming Navy were not weak, but the problem was that a clever woman could not cook without rice.
The economic conditions of Chu Tian's forces made it possible for him to expand the Fubo army to 120000 people and thousands of ships in a short time. More than half of the Ming Navy's ships came from merchant ships.
"General, there is a big ship attacking us on the opposite side!"
The commander of Ming Navy looked at the direction of his subordinates. Zheng Zhilong's Dafu ship was approaching him.
Zheng Zhilong, the general of the Fubo army, completely killed his red eyes and kicked a captured enemy soldier directly into the sea.
The order he received was to attack the warship where the general was on.
Wherever the Dafu ship goes, the catapult and the daguankou spear are fired at the same time!
The rolling smoke and deafening shouts made Zheng Zhilong's blood boil.
"Retreat to Jianghua island and avoid its edge. General Li Chenggui of Korea can give us refuge."
"Yes."
The flagship of the Ming Navy raised the flag of retreat and retreated to Jianghua island in Gaoli after losing 300 ships.
"A total of more than 100 warships were lost and 40 were captured. What should we do, Dudu
"Go and chase, but we are following the wind, and they are also following the wind, so it is difficult to catch up with them."
Yu Yunwen knew how difficult it was to annihilate the enemy in a naval battle, because the speed of sailing boats was similar.
"They want to return to the port and be protected by soldiers and horses!"Zheng Zhilong boarded Yu Yunwen's warship.
"Burn down all their ships, attack Korea, delay the troops of Koryo, and we will have finished our task. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people in Korea. Although Gao Li's military strength is not very good, our navy soldiers are not good at land warfare, so we can only say that they are well matched. "
