Please ask me to be the emperor

It was only over a hundred miles from Tokyo City to Baitapu. After Prince Li Lie had been cautious for a while on behalf of Shanzhe, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Huang Degong did not catch up, so he rushed over in a double route.

So Duduo led 20,000 cavalry in the north, and Daishan led 15,000 cavalry in the south, surrounding Zhang's 300 troops in Baitapu.

"How is the situation, Your Majesty?" Daishan finished arranging his soldiers and asked Duoduo hurriedly.

"Thankfully you came in time, otherwise something big would have happened!" Duduo was no longer as arrogant as before and couldn't help but vomit bitterly.

Daishan was surprised and asked why, and then he realized that Dudu was defeated by Lu Xiangsheng, and Duduo was now in a passive situation.

"This" Daishan twirled his beard after hearing the words, and said in deep thought, "From what I can see, Zhang Sanbai is good at defending, and Lu Xiangsheng is good at attacking. Your Highness' attack on Zhang Shelu is not a good strategy."

"In my humble opinion, the best strategy is to take Lu Xiangsheng first, and then defeat Zhang Sanbai."

"Oh?" Duduo couldn't help but look at Daishan with a half-smile when he heard this.

Zhang Sanbai Shanshou? Who was beaten and annihilated before I arrived?

"Uh." When Dai Shan saw this guy's expression, he still didn't understand what he was thinking. He couldn't help but feel annoyed and angry, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he had to endure it.

Naduoduo did not see Daishan's dissatisfaction, but just smiled and said: "Prince Lilie is wrong! This Baitapu is half beaten now. If we abandon it and go to Pinglu Fort, if Pinglu Fort doesn't come down again, Wouldn’t it be a waste of all our previous efforts?”

"In that case, why not focus on one area and then worry about it later?"

In the history of combat, whether to fight to the end or to change the target in time has always been a controversial topic.

Guan Yu failed to defeat Fancheng and was defeated in Maicheng; Cao Mengde abandoned Hanzhong and divided the world.

Sometimes it is a mistake to fight to the end, sometimes it is a mistake to give up lightly, and sometimes it is a mistake to fight to the end or to give up lightly.

The question is not how to choose, but whether you can complete your choice.

Obviously Daishan believed that Hou Jin could capture Lu Xiangsheng's tribe, who was "good at attacking but not good at defending", while Duoduo believed that Hou Jin could capture Zhang Sanbai's tribe, who was "almost exhausted".

"In that case, I'll just take the order!" Dai Shan had no choice but to shake his head secretly after hearing this.

"Yes!" Duduo nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, pointed at the rebel camp and asked, "The 'Shun Thief's' artillery is so sharp that our shield vehicle cannot withstand it. What can we do?"

It turns out that Houjin used the tactic of advancing with a shield vehicle to attack Baitapu, but always returned without success.

"This" Daishan quickly went up to the high platform after hearing this, looked at it carefully, and then replied, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

"The camp of 'Shun Thief' seems simple, but in fact it is extremely sophisticated. If you hit its corners, you will come from both sides; if you hit its sides, you will come from both corners. And with the white tower as your eyes and ears, watching my movements, it is really hateful!"

"In my opinion, I should first destroy his eyes and ears, then cut off his limbs, and finally cut open his heart!"

It turned out that this three-hundred-person camp was actually a simple four-cornered bastion, and the white tower in the bastion was used as a lookout to observe Houjin's movements.

In this way, no matter from which direction Hou Jin launched his attack, Zhang Sanbai would be able to see clearly.

Then he could direct the rebels to concentrate their artillery and bombard the shield chariot troops coming to attack the city.

Although this Daishan didn't know what a bastion was, he was very experienced in using troops. He could see the key point of this bastion at a glance.

"What the prince said is true!" Duduo took a closer look when he heard what Daishan said. He couldn't help but nodded in agreement and said, "The plan is a good plan, but how to destroy it?"

What you say sounds nice, but there must be a feasible way.

"Look, Your Highness, the camp of 'Shun Thief' is based on a white pagoda. It is only a few miles away from the city gate. If we use the red cannon to attack it at close range, it will be destroyed in one fell swoop!" Shan reached out and pointed.

"Oh?" Duduo heard the words and estimated the distance, and it was just as Daishan said.

It turns out that the range of the Hongyi cannon in this era was about two or three miles. If Hou Jin pushed the Hongyi cannon to about one mile of the rebel camp, it would threaten the White Tower in the camp.

Na Duduo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, so he asked Daishan to push out the Hongyi cannon brought from Tokyo City and prepare to bombard the rebels' White Tower.

After that, there were not many red cannons in the Kingdom of Jin, and they finally accumulated about forty cannons. Almost all of them were trapped in the pass, but now only four or five cannons are left.

He was previously transferred to Tokyo City by Duduo to bombard Liaodong, and now he was transferred here to bombard the rebel camp.

"Huh? The Tatars are going to use the Red Yi Cannon!" Just as Hou Jin launched the Red Yi Cannon, Zu Dashou was the first to discover Hou Jin's movements.

"Oh?" Zhang Sanbai looked carefully after hearing this and couldn't help but exclaimed, "How brave!"

Why?

It turns out that due to manufacturing process issues, the effective range of artillery of this era was generally around 600m.

It's not that there is no lethality beyond this distance, but after this distance, the accuracy is completely unguaranteed, and it depends on where it hits, and it's up to fate.

At this moment, Zhang Sanbai was not aware of the threat, and said that the "Tatars" wanted to provoke.

He then ordered: "Specially mobilize ten field artillery pieces and bombard them back and forth for me. I must destroy the artillery pieces and injure their gunners!"

Compared with the "golden cannon" with a diameter of ten times, the "field cannon" with a diameter of fourteen times can obviously shoot farther and more accurately.

"Boom, boom!" Before Hou Jin Hongyi's artillery position was completed, the rebel field artillery took the lead in firing.

But because the distance was too far, all ten iron bullets missed. Instead, Hou Jin picked them up, and he was ready to fight back when he was cold.

"Boom, boom!" Not long after, when the Houjin artillery position was completed, the five Hongyi cannons also spit out tongues of fire.

"Crack!" Only a loud noise was heard, but only one iron bullet hit the white tower, while the other four missed it.

"Where did it hit?" Zhang Sanbai looked at the direction of the shell and then understood Hou Jin's target.

"Return to the general, smash the window on the second floor!" Some soldiers had already checked and ran up to report.

"General, this Hongyi cannon is coming for us. General, please get down from the tower and take shelter!" Na Zu Dashou was startled and quickly advised.

This thing is too scary. If you are not afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the rare event. If it is hit by the opponent's artillery shell, there will be no bones left.

"What's it worth? Who's afraid of him?" Zhang Sanbai sneered when he heard this.

The accuracy of this thing is so impressive. For the rebels who are good at using artillery, they know it very well.

Since you want to hit my people, I will hit yours. Let's see who is unlucky.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Just after the sound of Houjin's cannon, the rebel's "field artillery" roared again.

But this time, the blind cat hit a dead mouse, and accidentally injured a soldier on the opposite side, smashing one of his legs to pieces.

"Wow!" The rebel gunner saw that he hit the target, and a burst of cheers came over him.

At the same time, Hou Jin's party also cheered when they remembered the situation when they hit the White Tower. For a while, both sides thought they had won.

"Continue, continue, is it my National People's Congress or the artillery position opposite? I want to see how long he can hold out!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but order.

"Go on, go on, is our artillery position bigger or the White Tower across the way? I want to see how long he can last!" At the same time, Prince Lilie Daishan couldn't help but sneered.
