Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 775 Destroyed the State of Zheng
Under the cover of artillery, the Mengchong battleship forcibly landed at Qingwan Port.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

The sound of killing was loud and the morale was like a rainbow.

The first batch of more than 2000 marines to land rushed towards the depths of the port like a tide.

The current soldiers of the Zheng Kingdom had long been frightened out of their courage, and only a few were able to stay. They saw the soldiers of the Chinese Empire coming over and rushing out with swords and spears.

bang bang bang...

Continuous gunshots rang out, and the Zheng soldiers who had just rushed forward became dead souls under the guns in an instant.

When the soldiers behind saw this hidden weapon spitting fire, they didn't dare to rush forward and die, so they turned around and ran away.

The fire from the cannon continued, and the fleeing soldiers trampled on each other and crowded in the alleys, which also allowed the cannon to exert its maximum power.

Many times, when a cannon falls, it will kill more than ten or twenty soldiers. If it blows down the nearby building, it will also kill some soldiers.

The entire city wall and the inner city near the port were filled with soldiers who had been killed by bombs or hit by shrapnel. The ground was stained with blood, broken limbs were everywhere, and there were endless screams and wails.

Fortunately, in order to fight against the Chinese Empire, the civilians near the port had already retreated. Otherwise, so many houses would have been destroyed, and who knows how many people would have died.

Many soldiers hiding in civilian houses were not spared, and were even killed or buried by collapsed houses.

The artillery fire was extending, and wherever it passed, there were very few soldiers who could survive.

At the same time, the Marine Corps had already climbed onto the city wall and was cleaning up the injured Zheng soldiers who were not dead, and chasing down the defeated soldiers who had fled into the city.

On the city wall of Qingwan Port, the flag of the Chinese Empire was erected, indicating that soldiers from the Chinese Empire had occupied Qingwan Port.

The more than 6 troops defending the city suffered heavy casualties. At least half of the soldiers were stained with blood in Qingwan Port, and some soldiers who escaped relatively quickly survived by chance.

Some of the remaining soldiers died unjustly. They were basically trampled to death by their own people, and some were smashed to death by civilian houses or buried alive.

This is a terrible war!

Lu Hao looked at this scene coldly, without any emotion, but with a hint of joy in his heart.

After all, Lu Hao only explained the command of modern thermal weapons warfare to General Ding twice. Unexpectedly, his performance today was not bad.

Especially the extension of the artillery fire, from Lu Hao's perspective, indeed brought out the maximum power of the cannon.

General Ding Rumo led the army ashore, sent people to hunt down the defeated soldiers who escaped, and soon completely occupied the entire Qingwan Port.

Lu Hao rose into the air, headed towards the city lord's palace in Qingwan Port, and landed in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, our army has successfully occupied Qingwan Port!"

General Ding reported loudly.

"Very good! Next, you can divide the new army into ten teams, each with 1000 people, and use Meng Chong battleships to sail upstream and attack the cities on both sides of the Qingshui River. The original more than 3000 soldiers will be left here to defend the city. .”

"The logistics force transports guns and ammunition to the port warehouse to facilitate rapid supply to each team. The five-story ship is parked at sea. If someone attacks the city, it can provide artillery support..."

Lu Hao roughly explained.

"Another point, please pass on the order. This time we are capturing the city. We cannot massacre innocent civilians, we cannot burn, kill, loot, or commit rape or abuse. Otherwise, we will kill without mercy!"

"Tell each team that if the cities on both sides of the Qingshui River are difficult to attack, they should retreat here. Do not attack the city by force and cause unnecessary casualties. I will go north to command the two main armies. The rest can be communicated through the Meiyue Clan. Please give me instructions."

Lu Hao finally added.

"Follow the emperor's will!"

General Ding responded loudly.

After Lu Hao arranged things here, he took off directly into the sky and headed north, looking for the first and second main legions of the Empire's Central Army.

From Qingwan Port in the south to Penzhou City in the Jin Kingdom in the north, in just over an hour, Lu Hao discovered the two main armies marching in a hurry on the mountain roads in the Jin Kingdom.In the past, the main legion only had 1 people, but now it has been expanded to [-], and the old veterans have also been improved. It is estimated that the impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire legion will not be great.

Sixty thousand cavalry marched on the mountain road, with a gap of more than ten miles between the front and back. It was really hard to see the beginning and the end.

"General Xuanyuan, General Liu."

Lu Hao flew from a distance and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty? Xu Xu..."

Xuanyuan Lingyu recognized Lu Hao at a glance, quickly reined in the horse and stopped.

"The final general will see the emperor!"

Liu Ruxu and Xuanyuan Lingyu quickly clasped their fists in salute.

"Meet the emperor!"

All the soldiers on their horses raised their fists and saluted Lu Hao in the sky.

"The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Central Army and the kings of Jin and Shu have promised to merge the two countries into the territory of the Chinese Empire. However, the Zheng, Yue, Xixia and Zhou dynasties brazenly sent troops to carve up the two countries. territory, and does not recognize the sovereignty of the Chinese Empire over the lands of the two countries!”

"On behalf of the Chinese Empire, I warned the four countries many times, but they still did not withdraw their troops. Therefore, the Chinese Empire had to declare war on the Zheng Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, Xixia and the Zhou Dynasty...

"Just two hours ago, the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy captured the Qingwan Port of Zheng State, forming a war situation of land and sea attack against Zheng State."

"Therefore, I order the two armies to rush south quickly, directly enter the territory of Zheng State, capture Xunyang City, the capital of Zheng State, and destroy Zheng State!"

Lu Hao's voice echoed in the mountains.

"The Emperor is wise! The Emperor is mighty!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Inform the soldiers to dismount and rest where they are and have something to eat."

Xuanyuan Lingyu gave the order.

Lu Hao also landed slowly.

Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Ruxu got off their horses and stepped forward to greet them.

"Your Majesty, don't we need to go to Penang City now?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu asked.

"I won't go for the time being. Instead of fighting Zheng's army, it's better to directly enter Zheng's territory and destroy Zheng."

Lu Hao felt that the pace of war could be amplified.

"Your Majesty, if you want to go south, you can enter the territory of Zheng through a trail in front."

Xuanyuan Lingyu took out a map, pointed at it and said loudly.

"Okay, just take the trail and enter the Kingdom of Zheng."

Lu Hao nodded slightly and responded: "First kill several cities in the east of Zheng State, and then go west to the capital of Zheng State. When the time comes, divide your troops and go south, showing the trend of a north-south pincer attack, and completely destroy Zheng State!"

"Your Majesty, we carry a lot of guns and ammunition. If we take the trail, our marching speed will be very slow."

Liu Ruxu said with a grimace.

"Let's do this. Xuanyuan Lingyu leads the first main army through the trail. You lead the army directly into Penzhou City, then leave the supplies in Penzhou City, and then send your troops south to kill Xunyang City, the capital of the Zheng Kingdom."

Lu Hao pointed at the map and arranged a separate route for Liu Ruxu.
