I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

Chapter 279: Choice, weapon gap across the ages

Looking at Dorgon who was speaking eloquently and in high spirits, the ministers below couldn't help feeling 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 all the inappropriate words.

"Geng Jingzhong, still happy!"

"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's army.

Abatai, you lead 100,000 musketeers and follow them as support.

Gultaimang, you

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

In an instant, everyone felt a terrifying pressure coming over their hearts, as if any violation of Dorgon's will would lead to death in an instant.

Involuntarily, everyone felt a chill in their hearts and knelt down to kowtow and accept the order.

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

"Well, go down and get ready!"

Dorgon waved his hand, indicating that everyone could withdraw and prepare to send troops.

"Hey! I'm leaving now!"

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

"Mr. Fan, please stay."

Fan Wencheng paused and stopped obediently.

After everyone had left, Dorgon stared at Fan Wencheng closely and spoke in a deep voice.

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

"This"

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

But he only saw Dorgon's eyes, as deep as the abyss, without any emotion, staring at him, with 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.

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

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

When Nurhaci was still alive, Fan Wencheng was Huang Taiji's think tank and came up with many strategies to help him fight for the throne.

When Huang Taiji ascended the throne, most of his brothers became 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 Qing army broke through Shengjing Shenyang, Huang Taiji even sacrificed himself to stay behind to cover the retreat, and let Dorgon, Hauge and others lead the troops to migrate.

At the last moment, Huang Taiji even sent Fan Wencheng out secretly to assist Dorgon.

It’s not that Huang Taiji was so noble that he was willing to sacrifice his life and stay, instead of thinking of escaping secretly.

The truth is that he is responsible for the country's destiny, and the golden dragon of national destiny will always follow him, so there is no possibility for him to escape secretly.

After escaping, Fan Wencheng continued to follow Dorgon and provide him with advice.

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

At this moment, hearing Dorgon asking him to speak frankly, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but feel a little moved. Thinking about the current situation facing the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't help but sigh.

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

Fight, definitely have to fight.

We have been working hard for nearly twenty years, and now our guns and firearms are quite powerful. We cannot be scared away without firing a shot.

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

".Um!"

Listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Dorgon's expression 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 Army and the Qing Army met at the border between the two countries, and it seemed that a large-scale modern war was about to begin.

Crown 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, took out a palm-sized Xuanguan mirror from his arms, and injected his true energy into it.

In an instant, the Xuanguan Mirror burst into a hazy white light, and mysterious runes emerged. As the halo flowed, it suddenly shot out a clear light towards the center of the tent.

Then, with the flash of light, a large army tent emerged.

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

In the end, not only the deployment of the Celestial Empire's army appeared one by one, but also the various arrangements of the Qing army appeared in the picture.

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

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

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

"Hahaha"

Wang Shi's words immediately caused everyone to laugh.

"Hahaha, indeed!"

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

Wang Shi waved his hand to suppress the discussions of the crowd, then bowed to Wang Jingchen.

"Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"

Wang Jingchen also returned the greeting and said with a gentle smile:

"General, there's no need to be so polite.

Before I set out, my father told me that my purpose of this trip was to listen and see more, and that all military matters were to be handled by the general."

"Haha, good! Then I have overstepped my authority."

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

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

The Second Machine Gun Battalion

As orders were given 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 another hour to reach the predetermined destination and deploy the formation, probably by the end of the evening hour."

Abatai frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly, and immediately gave a loud order to the messenger.

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

"Whoo!"

Watching the messenger go down, Abatai's heart was filled with excitement and anxiety.

If they took advantage of the Chinese people's failure to react and suddenly launched a saturation attack with powerful artillery, they would surely be able to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese army in one fell swoop.

However, once the Chinese people realize that their weapons have been upgraded, they will definitely be on guard, and the effectiveness of their final attack will be greatly reduced.

Time passed by as they anxiously waited, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Report~!"

Suddenly, a messenger came riding on horseback.

"Your Excellency, the Prince of Zhendong is ready and can launch an attack at any time."

"Hahaha, good!"

Abatai suddenly stood up and cheered, then prepared to give the order to attack.

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

What's going on here?

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

The next moment, everyone heard a loud explosion suddenly coming from the northeast.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Rumble"

At this moment, everyone even felt that the ground beneath 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 something wrong there?

No, no, how is this possible?

This must be Shang Kexi launching an attack in advance.

Everyone was thinking this in disbelief.

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

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

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

As he spoke, he walked out quickly.

Geng Jingzhong and the others, trying to hide their panic on their faces, looked enlightened and also went out quickly.

When the curtain of the big tent was opened, what came into everyone's eyes were bright beams of light, which were coming from the Celestial Empire army opposite and slanting towards the northeast.

Looking up at the sky, it seems as if there is a river of light across the sky, bright and brilliant.

But what it brings is death and destruction.

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

"This, this, this"

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

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

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

By the time they reacted and wanted to gather their troops to form a battle formation, it was already too late.

In other words, even if they formed an army formation, it would be difficult for them to withstand such a devastating attack.

The dazzling stream of light and sparks instantly engulfed them.

"Boom boom boom"

Following a series of explosions, the entire military camp was flooded and destroyed.

Inside the Celestial Empire's central army tent, everyone could clearly see through the images projected by Ma Youzhi that one camp after another of the Qing army was destroyed by energy machine guns in an instant.

After having various rune arrays, it is naturally impossible for the Celestial Empire to only use them to develop industries such as cars and ships.

When the rune array was first created, people began to try to apply it to weapons.

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

If we say that the guns and firearms that the neighboring countries developed by secretly learning some scattered runes and the firearms previously displayed by the Celestial Empire, then they can be considered modern weapons.

Today's China has already entered the realm of future weapons. The gap between the two sides has not only not narrowed, but has widened to an immeasurable distance.

Seeing how they destroyed the Qing army of hundreds of millions with ease, everyone couldn't help but sigh again at the importance of advanced weapons.

Crown Prince Wang Jingchen looked at all this and couldn't help but wonder inwardly, what was the point of being a military supervisor?

Such a battle.

No, to the Celestial Empire’s army, this couldn’t even be called a battle, it could only be regarded as a brilliant display of fireworks.

The Qing army was destroyed as soon as the Qing soldiers moved their fingers.

As the prince, he is probably here just to show up and report his achievements.

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

However, nearly one million Qing troops were almost wiped out.

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

New Shengjing, which is close to the Rakshasa Kingdom, saw Dorgon fighting on the battlefield through the national dragon energy and couldn't help but gasp.

this.

Could it be that this Celestial Empire is really the “Celestial Empire”?

Did all the soldiers become gods and immortals? All of them are heavenly soldiers and generals?

Otherwise, how could it have such a fierce attack?

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

At this moment, even Dorgon, who was extremely intelligent and strong-willed, only had one thought in his mind.

Escape, escape quickly, the farther the better, it would be best if you can escape completely from the Celestial Empire.

If possible, he really wanted to leave this world.

"Hoo~!"

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

Wherever they came across Qing military facilities along the way, a wave of energy light rain would immediately destroy them in an instant.

Following the shuttle, one military motorcycle after another rushed into the country over the mountains and across the hills. When they encountered a village or town, people would immediately get off the vehicle, break through the defenses of the village or town, and completely occupy and control it.

Then, the destiny of the Celestial Empire descended and instantly enveloped these places.

The destiny of the Celestial Empire at this time was like a rapidly advancing tsunami, quickly submerging the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

Feeling all this, Dorgon's expression changed again and again, and he couldn't help feeling extremely discouraged.

Given the Celestial Empire's current combat power, as long as it is unwilling to let them go, they will die no matter where they flee.

But soon, Dorgon cheered up again and decided to give it a try no matter what.

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 Heavenly Kingdom's destiny, Dorgon could not help but mutter to himself, and then he looked at the eunuch beside him.

"Call the civil and military officials in the capital. Also, call Fulin."

"Yes! I obey your order."

Upon hearing Dorgon's order, the eunuch immediately half-knelt in salute, then stood up, bent over, and stepped back.
