    Chapter 462 Victory 1

    After we took control of the army, things seemed to become much simpler. The king used his appeal to quickly gather all the remaining soldiers distributed on various islands. Since we are now at an absolute advantage at sea, the rebels also know that they are fighting with us.  The confrontation undoubtedly used its warships as targets for us, so all the warships huddled in the harbor and also planned to resist our attack on the shore.

    There was no harassment from the rebels. We quickly assembled our troops and then selected a suitable place to land. We also encountered resistance during the landing, but because we had fire support from ships, we opened up a spacious landing site.  The king's troops landed ashore with little resistance.  But there is also a problem. Our ships cannot go ashore. Once a land battle begins, there will be very little support from the ships.  Fortunately, the king did not have much public image at that time and had the support of many people. Although there were losses along the way, the attack went smoothly. They were unstoppable along the way and finally attacked their capital, which was also the defense of the whole country.  The most powerful city, at the same time, if it is attacked by force, the losses will definitely be considerable, whether it is the rebels or the king's army.

    We did not participate in their land battle. There were only a few thousand troops on our ships. At the same time, they were the most elite troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I brought them out and I must bring them back to the Great Zhou Dynasty intact.  , and for the cold weapon era, land battles have the largest casualties. Even if the weapons are advanced and the armor is thick, it is impossible to avoid casualties.

    But we were not idle during this period. First, we sent two warships back to the country and handed them all the agreement signed with the Shadow Sea Kingdom and my concept of the military base. At the same time, we asked King Cheng to queue up a batch of troops.  The warships are coming and there are soldiers, and the first overseas base should be established on the left. If things go well, when the king's army breaks the capital and wipes out all the rebels, our fleet and army should also arrive.

    Of course, after dispatching two warships, the fleet was not idle. After the king's army landed, we began to clean up the rebel maritime forces. At the same time, we demonstrated to the armies of other countries around the Shadow Sea Kingdom who were ready to take the opportunity to cause trouble.  In just over a month, we completely quelled the rebel maritime forces. Except for individual warships that resisted during the cleanup process, many other warships raised white flags and surrendered after we persuaded them to surrender. This was also their  A wiser choice, otherwise, I wouldn't mind using them as targets for training soldiers. After all, the best place for a soldier to grow up is the battlefield, and this war is undoubtedly the best place to train these soldiers.  The best place.

    After wiping out the rebel maritime forces, we docked the warship at a port close to the border of the Shadow Sea Kingdom to make corrections. This was also to ensure that neighboring countries would not interfere at this time.

    The situation of the war on the land battlefield was sent to us every day. When we learned that they were about to attack the capital, we also felt that it was the escort who had expressed it. After all, the sooner the war ends, the better it is for us.  So on the night when the news was received, the two artillery pieces used to attack land targets were dismantled into several parts, and then together with some artillery shells, they began to march towards their capital under the escort of an army of nearly 200 people.  .

    Half a month later.

    The king's army has camped under the city wall. In front of them is the high city wall. Once upon a time, this was their home, and this high city wall is also the building they are most proud of. But today  This became their biggest obstacle to victory, because they knew that many people would have to sacrifice to break through this wall.

    Night has gradually fallen, covering this once peaceful land. The cool wind blows, making this quiet night more alive. However, after the sun rises tomorrow, I don¡¯t know how many people will not have the opportunity to appreciate such beautiful scenery.  night.

    The king in military uniform came to the front of the camp alone, looking at the city wall in the darkness in front of him with such complicated eyes.

    After letting out a low sigh, he squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil that was handed to him, held it in front of his nose and smelled it vigorously, smelling the fragrance of soil.

    "Father!"

    The second prince¡¯s low voice came from behind.

    The king did not answer, but continued to smell the smell of the soil, and then sighed: "Tomorrow, the soil here will not smell like this. I don't know how many people's blood will dye this place red!"

    The second prince slowly walked behind the king, squatted down slowly, and followed the king's example, grabbed a handful of soil, put it on the tip of his nose, and then said: "I have always been strange, our  Is this war worth it?"

    "not worth it!"

     The king replied affirmatively, "But we have no choice!"

    The second prince raised his head and looked at the tall city wall in front of him. When he was young, this was their playground. His father, holding him in his arms, looked at the green fields in front of him from above. But now, he  But under the city wall, looking up at it.

    The king put the soil down gently, clapped his hands first, then patted the second prince's shoulder, and said: "There is no right or wrong in war. At the same time, no one likes war, and neither do I. I also can't bear to see my own soldiers and myself."  The people fell under the city wall built by their ancestors and sprinkled their blood on the land that gave birth to them and raised them. This is not worth it, so what we have to think about is how to win victory at the minimum cost  ."

    The prince also stood up, but he did not put the soil down, but carefully put it in his pocket, and then said: "Father, I understand what you mean."

    The king smiled slightly and said: "As long as you understand, by the way, what do you have to do with me now?"

    After the king reminded him, the second prince responded and said: "Just now, the prince sent two hundred people to escort a group of things to the camp. They said they can guarantee that our battle will go smoothly tomorrow!"

    "oh?"

    The king lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Take me to see it!"

    The second prince nodded and led the king towards the camp.

    Outside the largest tent in the camp, a group of soldiers in black armor stood neatly. In their hands, they all held crossbows, and two steel crossbow arrows were mounted side by side on the crossbows.

    After the king and others arrived, when they saw this formation, they immediately understood that these things were not simple, so they quickly entered the tent and saw ten cars inside the tent, which were tightly covered with cloth curtains.

    Seeing the king come in, a soldier who was waiting in the tent came up, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, on the order of the prince, we sent a batch of goods, please accept it!"

    The king nodded and said, "Thank you!"

    The soldier smiled friendly, then turned around and ordered: "Assemble!"

    "yes!"

    More than a dozen soldiers replied immediately, and then a group of five or six people took off the curtains on four of the carriages, revealing the contents inside.

    "Artillery!"

    The king was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "Is this an artillery piece?"

    "yes!"

    The soldier nodded and said: "Your Majesty knows that the last battle will be a hard battle. In order to reduce the losses of your soldiers, he ordered us to escort two artillery pieces to help you attack the city. Your Majesty also said that these rebels have never seen artillery.  , so they will definitely be afraid of this kind of weapon. At the same time, the prince asked me to tell His Majesty the King four words: attack the heart first!"

    The king murmured these two words, and at the same time cast his eyes on the two cannons being assembled. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he bowed to the soldier and said gratefully: "Go back and thank your prince for me!"

    After saying that, he hurried out of the camp, and the second prince immediately followed after being stunned.

    The next day, they were supposed to attack the city, but no king canceled it, and no one knew the reason.

    At the same time, a rumor began to spread in the city: God felt that His Majesty the King loved his people like his own son, and in order to end this war as soon as possible, he decided to use divine power to help him in tomorrow's project, and then the flames of judgment would be sent down.  , to wash away sins.

    Every country has its own gods, and the same goes for Shadow Sea Country.

    Although this rumor seemed to be quite false at first glance, under the arrangements of thoughtful people, it spread more and more widely in the city and became more and more mysterious. It naturally spread to the ears of the soldiers, many of whom were originally  I don¡¯t really want to rebel, but is it up to me to become a soldier?  After hearing these rumors, people couldn't help but feel panic, and the morale of the military gradually became unstable.

    So, everyone focused their attention on tomorrow.

    On the third day, the sky was very gloomy. From a certain point of view, this also verified the rumor that God was helping.

    The king's army has already set up a formation under the city, in order.

    The rumble of drums began to sound, which was the signal to prepare to attack the city.  '

    The soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but clenched the bows and arrows in their hands. Yesterday's rumors had already reached their ears, and indirectly it became that they were fighting against gods today.

    "Boom!"

    Two loud noises came from the king's camp in the distance, but because they were covered by the drums, some of the king's troops heard them, and they had also seen artillery, so they were not afraid of the sound, but for those on the city wall,  The rebels are different. For artillery,It is said that the rebels had seen troops and naval forces along the coast, but the navy was defeated and no one escaped back to the capital. At the same time, the place we chose to land at was a place with few people, and the artillery fire was  Very few, and those rebels were either killed in battle or captured, and few of them escaped back to the capital. After all, they were not fools. If they escaped back to the capital, they might be punished, and they might be captured again and serve as soldiers. Originally,  Escape is already a fluke, who would want to go to the battlefield again?

    So, the soldiers on the city wall heard a whistling sound coming from the sky. When they thought about the sound coming from there, the artillery shell had accurately hit the city wall, and there was a huge explosion!
