Although, saying this is indeed very majestic, and people who don't know it may be enthusiastic when they hear it, and they may even shout that they want to beat up the Jin Kingdom!

However, these words were extremely harsh in the ears of the generals present, as if they had been slapped in the face.

Everyone is self-aware, and if he really made a very big contribution, it is understandable to say this, but if he still says this when he knows that Wei Guo is just an assistant, the rest is embarrassing and embarrassing.

Of course, it was not only the generals present who were embarrassed, but also Gongsun Zhi, who had been silent.

In that battle, he was the commander of the Western Route Alliance, but in the end, because he could not coordinate the interests of the armies of various countries, and there was no good way to break through, so in the later period, the Western Route Army was like a decoration, and he did not even hit the hinterland of the Jin State from beginning to end, if it were not for the war to recover the lost territory of the Wei State, which made him quite prestigious in the country, he was embarrassed to mention this matter.

Gongsun Zhi frowned and said, "The Jin Kingdom can't be bullied, don't miss the alliance plan because of this matter." Besides, the retreat of the Jin army this time is also excusable, and if our army encounters this situation, it will also be the same. ”

"Having said that, but the angry thing is that yesterday it was clearly said that the Jin army would attack strongly, and we would not be able to attack for a long time to ask for help from our army, and we kindly sent troops to help, but the Jin army withdrew before our army could react, giving the defenders in the city a chance to flip, which was clearly deliberate, and the strength of our army was lost in vain!"

Gongsun Zhi sighed and said: "This matter is over, our army has lost more than 10,000 soldiers in the siege today, and all armies and departments must fill the vacancies as soon as possible and reorganize." ”

"General, will our army still attack like this tomorrow?" Adjutant General Wan Shuli raised questions.

"Nope." Gongsun Zhi stood up from the handsome seat, waved his hand and said: "Tomorrow, our army will no longer storm Licheng, we must change our strategy, start with the nearby small city, there are more than ten large and small cities near Licheng, and three are currently occupied by the Jin army, so the remaining cities must be controlled by our army, and then besiege Licheng, even if the reinforcements arrive at that time, it will be useless." ”

"Good!" Wan Shuli clapped his hands and praised, and said: "In this way, not only are the defenders of Licheng besieged, but even if the army of Ruan Guo arrives, they can only look at the city and sigh, and dare not take this city besieged by our army." ”

"Go, let the soldiers have a good night's rest, the next two days are very important for the layout of our army."

"Yes!"

……

The news from the front line was delivered to Yang Mu every day through the morning and evening recitals.

It can be said that he is well aware of the current war on all sides.

"Ruan Guo's army, haven't you arrived yet......"

Yang Mu muttered to himself, seemingly with some regret.

Indeed, for Cangguo, this is a great pity.

At the beginning, it was only the first step to order the Xuanwu Army and the troops stationed at the border to retreat after a little resistance, creating the appearance of being strong and middle-class.

Sure enough, the Wei army couldn't help it, and quickly sent troops south to attack the area of Wangji.

Then, there is the army of Nguyen Quoc.

It's just that Ruan Guo is a little far away after all, and he hasn't arrived until now, so he can't carry out a series of plans.

"It's just that such a big strategy has been preserved, but it has suffered the people of Wangji."

Yang Mu shook his head and sighed unconsciously.

Originally, many of the cities that have fallen so far can be saved.

Even, if the court of Cangguo decides to defend the enemy outside the national border, then the war may not be able to burn the land of Wangji, and the armies of all countries are still wandering outside the border.

Although, over the years, all countries have been inspired by the policy of transforming the people of Cangguo, and no longer wantonly burn and loot the captured cities as before, and advocate benevolent governance, but on the whole, it is still a catastrophe for the common people.

At present, the imperial court has received two reports that the Jin army had carried out a massacre of two small cities.

It's just that for the sake of that big strategy, it has to be like this.

……

Xiaohuang County.

Here, it is only 300 miles away from the city of Li.

A special force, on a rapid march.

The reason why it is said to be a special unit is because every soldier in this team did not wear too thick armor, there were no cavalry, no crossbow chariots, and there were no spearmen and long soldiers.

And, judging from the situation of the generals who led the team, it was even more different.

It's not that it's weird or unusual, it's that these generals are generally younger.

Speaking of which, it is not surprising that the generals in the army of Cangguo are generally relatively young, but the generals in this team have a weak atmosphere.

To put it mildly, it's like a scholar who has just graduated from a college.

Those who are more handsome can also be classified as little white faces.

With this alone, there is a clear difference from the rest of the Cangjun team.

What's even more mysterious is that within a radius of several miles of this team, ordinary people are not allowed to approach, and all suspicious people are arrested.

Behave weirdly!

It's no wonder that this army behaves so strangely, because once you go inside and look closely, you will find a big secret.

On each cart, there are things like iron pipes.

Pushed by soldiers on the track.

Moreover, there are a large number of soldiers, carrying baskets on their shoulders.

I don't know what it is, it's covered with straw anyway, and there's a waterproof oil-paper cloth.

This army is ready to come out.

It was Yang Mu's high hopes, the artillery brigade!

What they are pushing is a cannon.

Perhaps, in its current form, it would be more appropriate to call it a redcoat cannon.

The so-called red-coated cannon is a weapon called the Hongyi cannon in ancient China, which was a kind of artillery made in Europe in the early 16th century and introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty.

The redcoat cannon does have advantages in design, the barrel is long, the wall is very thick, and it is gradually thickened from the muzzle to the tail of the gun, which conforms to the principle of high to low bore pressure when gunpowder is burned.

There are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, and the gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis, change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder, and set up a front sight and a light door, and calculate the trajectory according to the parabola, with high accuracy.

Most of the red-coated cannons are about one zhang long and weigh more than three thousand catties.

This kind of cannon in Cangguo is a standard red-coated cannon.

Because, the Ministry of Science and Technology of Cangguo has also just come into contact with this weapon, and with the current technology and experience, it can only be imitated at this level at most.
