Gunpowder was deeply engraved in Kong Shangxian's mind for the first time.

What kind of weapon is it, exactly?

With it, is it capable of opposing the alliance of the six nations?

Listening to the name, it seems to be related to firearms, but with the addition of the word "medicine", it doesn't sound like a weapon.

To be so valued by His Majesty the Emperor and praised its efficacy, it should be inseparable.

After all, according to his understanding, His Majesty the Emperor is not a stubborn person, and it is not surprising that he can bluntly crush the armies of various countries, saying that they will not last long.

It's like when the cavalry was born, it was indeed unexpected.

Hopefully, the same is true for such a thing as gunpowder.

Well...... Yes definitely!

Kong Shangxian is looking forward to it in his heart, but he doesn't know when he will be able to see it.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and said, "Your Majesty, are the red-clothed soldiers trained a few days ago used for new weapons?" ”

"That's right, gunpowder is only the cornerstone, the most important thing is to make it into a weapon, and this weapon is a cannon."

"Cannon?"

"That's right, the Ministry of Science and Technology has developed a batch of cannons, which can be equipped on a small scale, and it is expected that in a few months, it will be able to be put into use in the six major legions, and then it will be the time for my major legions to sweep through the armies of all roads."

Hearing this, Kong Shangxian agreed very much in his heart.

Historically, as long as there is a new type of main battle weapon in Cangguo, then the help for the war must be decisive, such as the original repeater, repeater chariot, and then the later cavalry, heavy cavalry...... Almost as long as a new main combat method appears, it will catch the enemy by surprise and deal a heavy blow to it.

"Don't worry about this matter, Aiqing, the main task now is to consolidate the border defense, make proper domestic dispatch, and at the same time run Chu well, and leave the rest to the six major legions."

"Yes, Wechen understands."

……

After the edict of Wu Guo was issued, it did not cause much of a sensation among the countries.

In the eyes of the top leaders of various countries, this is a matter of time.

I expected it for a long time.

After all, if it were one's own country facing the situation of a martial country, nine times out of ten it would also consider forming an alliance with Cangguo and putting the bet on Cangguo's ability to win the war.

Of course, this is also a wake-up call for countries.

After all, this also means that Cangguo is making preparations with both hands and is actively preparing for war.

There will be no compromise in the Cangguo, and the attack of the Six Nations will not be avoidable.

It can be regarded as a wake-up call for all countries.

Just when Cangguo was actively preparing for the war and the Ministry of Industry was working overtime to produce artillery, according to the agreement, the six countries held a final meeting before the attack on Cangguo in Ruan.

Among them, the most important is the scale of troops dispatched and the division of war zones.

Wei, Ruan, Jin, Mang, Fan, Yun, six countries have all made statements.

Having learned the lessons of the last alliance to attack Jin, this time the six countries have learned much smarter, and the six major countries have made a commitment not to withdraw their troops halfway, and not to waste the great cause for small profits halfway.

At the same time, it is also more flexible in the number of troops.

Because each country has a territory adjacent to the Cangguo, it is decided that the territory of which country will be owned by which country will be owned by the country!

Based on this, all countries have also expressed their stance without stinginess.

Among them, Nguyen was the largest, sending 1 million troops.

Wei sent 600,000 troops.

The Jin State sent 600,000 troops.

Mang sent 500,000 troops.

Fan sent 300,000 troops.

In addition, due to the two successive defeats of the Yun State, it could only defend to the death, almost exerting the strength of the whole country, so without the strength to attack the Cangguo itself, there was no commitment to send troops.

Even then, there were more than three million troops.

This is a force that is only weaker than the Great War of Cutting and Jin that year!

More importantly, these forces are just a result of negotiations, the minimum bottom line promised by the countries, and in the end, in the process of war, countries may send additional troops at any time!

There is no doubt that under the temptation of cities and land, countries will continue to increase their troops.

That is, an army of three million, just a minimum amount!

Such a force, placed in any other war, is a huge number.

Even Ruan Guo, in the face of so many enemies, did not grasp the ability to fight.

What makes countries more confident is that compared with the situation of the original war of war, the troops sent by the countries this time are more elite, and because the two countries have a border, they can directly take charge of logistics.

This means that a protracted war can be fought.

And this is also the most confident place for all countries, and it is also a strategy for attacking the sky.

Due to the performance of the Cangguo army in the past wars, the six countries reached a consensus, that is, not to fight a large-scale frontal battle with the Cangguo's army without having a complete superiority in troops.

That is to say, there are a total of six armies in the Six Kingdoms, and each of them, in the absence of absolute superiority, is not suitable for a big battle with the Cang army, let alone a decisive battle.

This is an experience that has been summed up by various countries.

So, what if you want to win?

Protracted!

This point was put forward by Ruan Guo, and the Empress Ruan Guo seriously summed up the advantages of Cangguo, which is nothing more than a strong army, a neat people's heart, and a very strong economy and trade.

The greatest advantage of protracted warfare is that it can paralyze a country's trade.

This is related to the overall interests of the people of a country, and if it can make those businessmen feel pain, it will definitely deal a very big blow to Cangguo in the long run.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the countries did not imagine that they would win in a short period of time like the Battle of the Jin Dynasty, but made up their minds to have a protracted war with Cangguo.

The time entered August, first of all, Nguyen Quoc and Mang Quoc made a move.

The spearhead of the two countries was first aimed at the Blue Dragon Legion of Cangguo.

Because, Ruan and Mang had already used troops against Chu in the initial period, so they were also the most able to contact with the Blue Dragon Legion.

Another is that Chu is relatively fertile, with thousands of miles of lush land, and both countries have garrisons, and Xiongguan has already been conquered, and it is the easiest place to win.

At this time, the Blue Dragon Legion had already mobilized 300,000 troops to the battlefield of Yunguo to support the Vermilion Bird Legion.

In the entire Chu region, there were only 600,000 troops left, of which 300,000 were mixed with rebel armies with relatively low combat effectiveness.

In the face of the menacing armies of the two countries, Wei Zhongquan was very helpless, so he had to issue a conscription order to recruit soldiers from the people.

Thanks to the complete meritorious system of Cangguo, and so many counterattack myths in the past, the recruitment of troops was very smooth, and some experienced and strong villagers were selected from it, and in a short period of time, a new army of 400,000 people was quickly raised.

Of course, these 400,000 new troops were not used for frontal battles, but for defending the city.
