Chapter 259 Artillery Displays its Power
Soon the prime minister received King Gao Li's order to search for spies throughout the country and to strengthen military discipline, so that no one could mobilize troops without the king's order.
After receiving King Gao Li's order, the prime minister launched a nationwide manhunt for spies. In fact, everyone in the court knew that the prime minister was using this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
All the Gao Li people who had previously contacted Gu Changqing dared not make any moves, and the Da Long army once again fell into a state of stagnation.
"Almost there, hmph, that son of a bitch Gao Liwang reacted pretty quickly."
Gu Changqing was somewhat annoyed. With the help of Gao Liren, the Great Dragon Army was advancing rapidly, but their excitement came to an abrupt halt.
"Ugh, these little houses are disgusting."
At this point, Lu Da was also helpless against Gao Li's stone buildings.
"General, Lord Zhou, the baggage handler, has sent a troop to provide support."
Gu Changqing and Lu Da were having a meeting to discuss countermeasures when a soldier came to report.
"Support? How many people?"
Gu Changqing was a little puzzled. Zhou Wu only had a fourth army that he had sent to launch a surprise attack, and it should have already set sail by sea by now. What was the situation with this support force?
"Um, about, about three hundred people."
Even the messenger was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to say it out loud: he had tens of thousands of troops on his side, but only three hundred people came to support him.
"What kind of joke is the third brother making?"
Even Lu Da, who was usually carefree, was somewhat annoyed at this moment. This was a matter of great importance to the military and the country, and his third brother was really being reckless.
"Let's go take a look first."
After pondering for a while, Gu Changqing slowly said that although Zhou Wu was usually unreliable, he would not joke about serious matters. These three hundred people must be quite remarkable.
When the generals arrived at the support team, they couldn't find anything different about these three hundred men. They had the same hands and feet, and were no different from their own soldiers.
"Who is the team leader?"
If you don't understand, just ask directly.
"Reporting to the General, this is Zhang Xiaofan, a captain in the artillery battalion of the South China Sea Guard."
A young captain immediately stepped forward and recounted what Changqing had said.
"Artillery? What kind of troops are they?"
"The third brother's mind works fast all day long. He's come up with the idea of a navy, and now he's got an artillery unit. But what exactly is an artillery unit?"
Lu Da was also puzzled.
"Generals, shall I demonstrate for you?"
Zhang Xiaofan knew these generals would ask this question. He had gotten used to it since joining the artillery, because he had asked Lord Zhou the same question when he first joined the artillery.
"Ah."
Gu Changqing nodded in agreement.
"Sir, it's too crowded here, we can't move around freely. Can we find another place?"
"Oh, you've got quite the nerve. So, where do you suggest we go?"
"Why don't we stay at the foot of the city of Gaoli?"
Initially, the troops were divided into three routes—upper, middle, and lower—to attack Gao Li. However, they found that Gao Li was hiding in the city, as difficult to deal with as a turtle hiding its head. Gu Changqing then combined the three routes into one, hoping to concentrate their forces to defeat them one by one, but unexpectedly, it still didn't work.
Tens of thousands of troops are currently stationed in this camp, which is only twenty miles away from the city of Gaoli Kingdom.
Finally, led by Zhang Xiaofan, the group arrived at a place about five miles away from Gaoli City, which was the distance between the two armies.
"Prepare the artillery."
Only then did everyone notice that the carriages behind the three hundred men were actually pulling iron pipes as thick as an adult man's waist, with wheels underneath.
At Zhang Xiaofan's command, the artillerymen, well-trained, unloaded their cannons and took their positions, aiming the cannons at the enemy city.
"Target: Goli City. All artillery, prepare to fire."
Each cannon was surrounded by several soldiers, constantly moving and handling it: the gunner, the flintlocker, the loader, the cleaner, and the aimer.
Gu Changqing and the others had never seen cannons before, and now, seeing these people constantly moving iron pipes, they had no idea what they were doing.
"ignition."
Seeing that everyone was ready and in the ignition state, Zhang Xiaofan didn't waste any time and directly ordered the ignition to begin.
Zhou Wu brought a total of thirty cannons this time. After learning about Gu Changqing's predicament, he sent Zhang Xiaofan with twenty cannons to provide support.
A few breaths later, a series of thunderous sounds suddenly came, as if the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess were angry, and the ground beneath our feet trembled.
Everyone instantly felt short of breath, had tinnitus, and felt a little dizzy. Some even felt that they might have dropped a few drops.
Then, before anyone could react, the high-altitude city wall that had held off Gu Changqing and his group for nearly a month collapsed in a row.
Gu Changqing, Lu Da, and the others were stunned. This is artillery? This is more like heavenly soldiers. When did our Great Dragon become so awesome?
"Someone, pass down the order: assemble immediately and follow me into the city."
At Gu Changqing's command, the troops behind him began to assemble rapidly. Zhang Xiaofan understood and continued to direct the artillery to unleash shells on the enemy city.
The soldiers and civilians on the other side felt as if a god was displaying divine power, as the sturdy city wall collapsed as easily as if it were made of paper.
"Help! The giant dragons are attacking!"
"Run! The gods are angry!"
"Father, mother."
Cries, pleas for mercy, and calls for help filled the air in a chaotic mess.
. . . . . .
Tens of thousands of men attacked the city of Gaoli Kingdom but could not do anything about it, but were defeated by three hundred men sent by Zhou Wu.
After this battle, the artillerymen instantly became the brightest stars in the army, the most sought-after figures. All the generals were trying to figure out how to get the artillerymen under their command.
"Brother, brother, I have an aunt who is also from Jinshan Prefecture. You see, we're practically from the same hometown. Do you think I could join the artillery?"
"Get lost! You're talking about some completely unrelated relationship. If anyone's talking, it's me, brother. My surname is Zhou, the same as Lord Zhou's. We were family five hundred years ago, you see."
"roll,,"
Before he could finish speaking, he was scolded away by another guard. Now the whole army is trying to get close to the artillery in order to be transferred to the artillery battalion. His god-like methods have truly conquered everyone.
"Lieutenant Zhang, the general requests your presence."
Just as everyone was trying to curry favor with Zhang Xiaofan, the general's personal guards came to select Zhang Xiaofan to attend a meeting.
"Okay, I'll go this way."
No sooner had Zhang Xiaofan left than the soldiers around him looked on with envy.
"Look at Zhang, just a captain, yet the general personally invited him and he can attend a high-level meeting. I'm so envious."
"No, I have to use my connections to try and get the artillery transferred. In the future, artillery will definitely be the most sought-after military force."
"That makes sense."
The soldiers who were just standing together are now starting to reach out to their networks of connections to see if they can get some help.
