Chapter 529: Elements of War
Zhou Fei wanted to refute this statement, but after thinking for a while, he still gave up rebuttal and asked, "Students want to know, how are we going to win this war?" If Chang'an still has two more cities in his hands, relying on the supplies in the city, he may be able to make more firearms and put them on the battlefield. But now the materials that can be used to cast firearms and ammunition in Chang'an City have basically been expropriated, and I went to the refining workshop to see that those stocks can last for half a month at most. But outside the city, there was an army of 200,000! ”
"Your thinking has gone into a misunderstanding. Tong Jiaoxi said: "The factors that determine the war are diverse, let your eyes be broader, not just limited to Chang'an City, limited to the firearms you produce." ”
Zhou Fei said: "The students are stupid, and some of them really can't understand the words of Tong Jiaoxi. ”
"Then you answer me a question first. ”
"Teach me, please. ”
"What do you think is the most important factor that determines the course of a war?"
Zhou Fei fell into deep thought.
After about half a pillar of incense, he said uncertainly: "General?"
"It doesn't seem too stupid. Tong Jiaoxi said lightly: "No matter how many soldiers there are, they must also obey orders, otherwise they will be scattered and do not have any combat effectiveness." ”
"What does Jiao Xi mean that the thief captures the king first?" Zhou Fei asked.
"The children can be taught, but it's not enough to just capture those generals. Tong Jiaoxi said, "Let me ask you another question, do you think Qinglian and they can stop the temple army?"
Zhou Fei wanted to nod, but finally shook his head with a wry smile.
"Qinglian, they can't stop the temple army, Lu Tiansuo can't stop the Qi ** team, Chang'an City is destined to be embattled, this should be the only result that all the Great Wilderness people think except for Datang. But what does the academy do? What the academy is best at is breaking the fixed result, even if it loses, it will have to lose to make the enemy's flesh hurt, so that they will not be able to break free from the haze brought by this war for hundreds of years to come!"
Zhou Fei's blood surged after saying this, and his worries in the past few days have even been washed away a lot.
"There's not much we can do, but everything we can do is enough to change the course of this war. Tong Jiaoxi said: "And the war is fought on this, do you think that only the Tang Dynasty is struggling to support? Qin and Wei have withdrawn, and Yan has almost destroyed the country, even Qi, Chu, and Zhao who are still on the battlefield are also dragged down enough by this war, even if they conquer Chang'an and destroy our Tang Dynasty in the future, but the decline of national strength is inevitable, think about it, who is the ultimate beneficiary of this war?"
Zhou Fei blurted out: "Garan Temple!"
"Yes, it's the temple. Other countries are enemies of our Datang, which is nothing more than wanting to carve up the fertile land of my Datang and plunder the wealth of my Datang. Only the temple wants to erase the Tang Dynasty from the root, and if the Tang Dynasty is not destroyed, the temple will not be able to unify the entire Great Wilderness in the true sense. So far, the temple has not paid too much price, but the price of the six countries is miserable, and the wealth looted from my Datang cannot fill the holes left by the war, not to mention that these riches have to be shared with other countries, and even less in their hands. ”
"In addition, the appearance of firearms has also made the enemy troops outside the city extremely fearful, they do not know how many of these weapons we have, and they are likely to lose more than half of their troops in the event of a strong attack. You must know that these are young adults, and for a country, young adults are the greatest wealth. These people are dead, and it will take at least two generations for the country to recover, two generations, and that's more than a hundred years. In a stupid emperor, he would not do such a loss-making business. ”
Zhou Fei muttered, "Defeating the Divine Temple, can you turn the tide of the battle?"
Tong Jiaoxi nodded: "Yes, since the outbreak of the war, the old woman has been thinking about this problem, and she has only recently figured it out. Mr. Xin defeated Wei Zhu, and among the six great priests of the temple, except for one Chu Weirui, the other strengths were too ordinary, and it was impossible for them to be Qinglian's opponents. And the only High Priest of Light who still has the strength to fight has been deposed by you. There are no more people who can fight in the true sense of the word in the Garan Temple. Why haven't they quit yet?"
A light crossed Zhou Fei's mind, and a name involuntarily popped out of his mouth: "Yue Jingyu." ”
Tong Jiaoxi nodded slowly.
"After destroying Yue Jingyu, there is no longer a commander in the temple, and there is no need for them to continue to attack Chang'an. The temple retreated, and other countries will definitely not continue to be the main wrongdoer, and they will inevitably withdraw their troops. This is the silver lining and the only chance of life in the dead end. Tong Jiao Xi said.
Zhou Fei swallowed his saliva: "But the master is not here, can there really be anyone in the world who can beat Yue Jingyu?" I don't doubt the strength of the second senior brother, but I think it is almost impossible to kill Yue Jingyu." ”
According to Tong Jiaoxi, to change this war, you only need to kill one person, but this person is already in an invincible state, and the difficulty of killing him is even more difficult and terrifying than defeating the coalition forces outside the city.
"It's man-made. Tong Jiaoxi said: "I think Qinglian and Tian Tian must also be able to figure out the key to this, they are younger than me, smarter than me, I am afraid they have already figured it out." ”
Zhou Fei thought that the second senior brother had been running towards Yue Jingyu since the beginning of the confrontation, could it be that the second senior brother had already thought of this at that time?
"I'm such a waste that I can't help with anything. Zhou Fei knocked his head hard and said in annoyance.
Tong Jiaoxi said: "Who said you can't help? Repairing this array is your job, and only you can do it, and no one else can do it." ”
Zhou Fei sat paralyzed on the ground, "But I don't have a clue at all, Tong Jiaoxi, I can't repair this formation, I can't repair it......"
"Get up for me, manly man, why are your knees so soft? Do you still think that you are the first waste material in Chang'an in the past? You are a disciple of the second floor of the academy, and you are a student of the master!" Tong Jiaoxi scolded loudly: "Zhou Fei, all the consequences I just said have the most critical premise, that is, Chang'an is not broken!
How could Zhou Fei not understand the key to this, how long the second senior brother could hold on completely depended on whether he could repair this formation.
After repairing, Chang'an City is unbreakable, and the second senior brother can give it a go, plus there is also a senior brother, maybe he can really kill Yue Jingyu.
But if the Chang'an City Protector Array completely collapsed before they killed Yue Jingyu, then there would be no point in doing anything in the future.
One step to heaven, one step to hell.
Zhou Fei has never felt so powerless as now, he suddenly began to miss the days when he was a waste wood before, he was eating, drinking, and basking in the sun all day long, or he went to the streets of Chang'an to see the beauties, and the days were not too leisurely and too relaxed.
It's like now, with a mountain on my back, and I'm about to stop breathing.
Tong Jiaoxi said: "I know that you are under a lot of pressure, but even if the pressure is great, you have to resist me, understand? ”
Key?
Zhou Fei stood up with his support on the city wall and looked into the distance.
There, Song Fei in Tsing Yi was still standing silently.
Should I trust her?
