"Chongxin, what do you think?" The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, his eyes flowed, and he turned to look at the division commander of the First Main Division under his command, who had been following closely behind him without making a sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My lord, what Lao Mu and Sha Lang said is also what their subordinates think, this Longdong is indeed a hot potato, according to the subordinates, it is difficult to say whether the water can withstand the current turbulent momentum of the Taiping army, not to mention that the Taiping people can bypass the Tianshui and press down from the north, they will not give us too much time, if we can't conquer Longdong Mansion City in one fell swoop during this time, then we will be quite passive, and may even affect the situation of Lulong. Liang Chongxin's words are not too new, but they are much more comprehensive, and they take into account the changes of Lu Long that have been recovered and recovered.

"But to conquer Longdong Mansion City in a short period of time, even if we do our best now, the victory can only be a miserable victory, which is quite unfavorable to our next plan, and Fang Cai's subordinates have also carefully taken a large number of Longdong City's defense system, but they have not found any good way. Liang Chongxin did not hide his worries.

"That Chongxin's opinion is also not in favor of attacking Longdong now?" Wufeng was a little surprised, although these objective factors existed, but the special position of Longdong in strategy should at least be able to see that even if it is necessary to pay a certain price, there is no doubt about it, but listening to the other party's words, it seems that he does not agree.

"No, my lord, you misunderstood, the battle of Longdong has become inevitable, if we don't take advantage of this time to take Longdong, I'm afraid we will be more difficult in the future, and my subordinates also judged, if we give up this opportunity now, I'm afraid that the Tianshui controlled by the Third Highness will change hands sooner or later." Liang Chongxin shook his head resolutely, "It's just that this Longdong is indeed a hard bone, if we don't choose a good method, we will break our teeth if we don't do it well." ”

"Hehe, there will be a way, there is no fortress in the world that cannot be attacked, it is important whether the method is good or bad, and the most important thing is that we must first establish confidence. Wu Feng could see that although his subordinates all thought that they could capture Longdong, major losses were inevitable and would have a certain impact on the future strategy, so he felt that it was necessary to drum up morale, "Of course there will be sacrifices in the war, the question is whether it is worth paying these sacrifices, my opinion is that Longdong must be taken, and it must be taken in a short time, no matter how much we pay." ”

"But don't worry too much, our War Readiness Agency and the Economic Development Agency already have some good things to offer us, and I believe this battle is a good time for these things to come into play. "Wu Feng's big hand waved in the air to strengthen the momentum.

Seeing that the boss was so confident, all the generals were a little curious, and Sha Lang couldn't help but ask: "My lord, what is a good thing? ”

"I'll let you know, but I don't think it's up to us to decide the outcome of the war, and the final victory is up to our brave warriors!" Wu Feng's words were full of confidence.

Fan Yunhai rubbed his long-standing hands painfully, and looked at his bloody subordinates on the city wall in confusion. As the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army in Longdong City, he thinks that he is competent, since the Holy Religion uprising, from Kansai to Beiyuan, he commanded the army from small to large, after several large and small battle formations, it can be said that he came in the bloody rain, even Bo Xiang praised himself, so he was quite proud. In fact, when the enemy pressed down from the Partridge Pass and Lulongfu, he had the information, he was not worried, 50,000 battle-hardened elite troops, as well as Longdong, a fortified city that had been repaired several times, and the surplus strategic materials were prepared, although the food reserves were less, but Longdong City had a population of 300,000, and it only needed to be tightened a little, and it should not be too much of a problem to insist on a month or two, a month or two, I am afraid that the eldest young master would have already pacified Heshuo, right?

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that no matter how he broke his head, he didn't expect that the war would come to such a point, but the siege battle had only been three days! How could he accept this, and now his side has no way to parry and crack, only such a passive and embarrassed suffering, but that's it, how long can it last?

Another burst of yellow smoke dispersed with the wind, Fan Yunhai only felt dizzy, as soon as the smoke passed, the tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow out at once, and his vision suddenly became blurred, and he rubbed his eyes twice, but he felt that his eyes were itchy and painful, and he couldn't open them at all.

Where did this guy Li Wufeng get this trick? Could it be that Shangcang was really on his side and favored him so much? Just as Fan Yunhai was thinking about this painfully, at the other end of the battlefield two thousand meters away, Wu Feng watched the development of the battle situation in front of him with great interest.

This was the third day of the siege battle, and the situation became like this, the situation that was originally going to pay a division or even 30,000 sacrifices was reversed, and it suddenly became such a scene, which made people surprised and delighted, and even Wu Feng, who was originally somewhat mentally prepared, was also surprised when he learned of this situation.

"My lord, this is a new thing that we have developed only now from the War Readiness Administration and the Economic Development Agency, and it may be able to come in handy for you to attack Longdong at this time. When the shy young man in front of him offered this generous gift, Wu Feng didn't take it too seriously. Smoking the enemy is not new, it has been used in previous siege battles, and although it has a certain effect, it is ridiculous to say that it is necessary to rely on this thing to decide the outcome of the battle, and at most it can be said to play a supporting role. Of course, the terrain of Longdong City is high in the east and low in the west, and the urban terrain is the same, so the effect of using this trick will be more obvious, but it will not achieve the result of turning things around.

Seeing that the lack of attention in the boss's eyes was overflowing, the young man was a little irritated and aggravated his tone: "My lord, this is very different from what our army used before, its effect is far from comparable to those previous plays, if you don't believe it, you will lose a great opportunity! You will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Seeing that the young man's demeanor was so solemn, Wu Feng put away his contempt and said solemnly: "Oh? Then can you ask Mr. to explain to me? What is the difference between this toy and the wolf dung used before?"

"Obey, my lord!" The young man seemed to be aroused by Wu Feng's words, and shot back without showing weakness: "Although the smoke of wolf dung was thick in the past, it did not have a great effect on the direct attack of the enemy army, the main role was to use the smoke screen to cover the attack of our army, and the secondary role was to have some attack effect on the eyes and nose of the enemy soldiers, but according to our investigation, the second aspect was not good. ”

"In response to this situation, we screened and experimented, and finally found a cheap item that was rich in raw materials and easy to manufacture, and it had a very strong lethality against enemy soldiers, of course, this lethality must be in a specific situation. The more the young man spoke, the more excited he became, and some of the shyness that had been at first had long since disappeared.

"We have experimented with burning the branches and leaves of a very common conifer tree in the mountains of Jinzhou, the bitter cypress, and the smoke produced has a great killing effect on the human eye, which can cause the temporary blindness of the human eye, and the duration can reach more than six hours! The oil squeezed from the green tung tree was incinerated experimentally, and it was found that this oil burning will produce an extremely unpleasant smoke, which can make people feel nauseous and vomit until they are in shock and coma, but the duration is only three hours, we mixed these two items and burned them, and found that the effects of the two do not affect, and even have the effect of reinforcing each other, so we recommend this new type of incendiary weapon to adults -- Tongbai poison gas!" The young man's face couldn't help but stir up, and even the gestures to strengthen his tone increased in amplitude.

Wu Feng's heart moved, now is the time when the northwest wind is strong, I don't know if this kind of thing burns under Longdong City, can it play a certain role?

"I wonder if once this kind of thing burns up, will our soldiers be able to take some precautions first to avoid the disaster of the pond fish?" Wu Feng was already thinking about the possibility of this kind of thing being used in actual combat.

"Of course, we can develop this kind of thing, and we also work out a solution, we only need to wash our eyes with one liquid before entering the smoke area, and then take another liquid to make sure that we are safe, at most a little uncomfortable. And those who do not take precautions will be dizzy, blind and shocked!" replied the young man confidently, apparently realizing that the manager's interest had risen, and his speech was even more energetic.

"Very good, I don't know how many of these things you brought this time?" Wu Feng was excited again, it seems that the blood he spent at the beginning was not in vain, and finally it has some effect, when this battle is over, I have to take a good look at this temporary patchwork of the four dissimilarities, to see if a special organization can be established.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing has a lot of raw materials, and it burns durably and does not go out, we have reported to Lord Xiao and Lord Rao after we developed it, and Lord Xiao and Lord Rao have arranged to prepare a certain amount in advance, according to our speculation, it should be able to meet the needs of adults this time." The young man spoke of Xiao Tang and Rao with great respect, probably because he was very grateful for the support they had given.

"Okay, then I'll see how effective the things you have developed are!" Wu Feng didn't think much about it anymore, the battle of Longdong has become a difficult situation to ride a tiger, even if there are no objective factors, this battle must be fought the same, and it must be won, otherwise his plan to plot the Central Plains will come to naught, to be able to have such a hidden weapon, no matter how great the effect is, it is finally better than nothing, until the moment before use, Wu Feng did not have much confidence in his heart.

Later generations of historians have discussed the impact of this battle on Wufeng, but they did not pay much attention to the victory or defeat of this battle and its strategic role, and many historians paid more attention to the use of new poison gas in this battle to touch Wufeng's military concept. "Since the First World War in Longdong, the change in the concept of His Majesty the Emperor directly contributed to the establishment of the later Imperial Research Institute and the Imperial Academy of Sciences, two major institutions that supported the military and economic development of the late empire. -- Excerpt from "Leap -- On the Motivation of Concept Change"
