Chapter 590: Making Waves
The night before the Great War was destined to be calm and sleepless, and some people rejoiced because the war was an opportunity for them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
They can smell their prey from war, and they will get a lot out of it, and some people will be terrified by it, and they will get enough of it.
War will be like a greedy beast that will plunder all that they have acquired, perhaps their ancestors were marauders.
But feng shui takes turns, and when it comes to their generation, those who should enjoy it have already enjoyed it, and those who should repay their debts should also repay their debts.
On the hillside outside the royal capital, a few people big enough to decide the future of the entire empire were still talking about the future of the country by the fire.
The fire was blazing, crackling from time to time, and the firelight reflected the young and resolute faces, resolute and fearless.
Lin Ye held a branch in his hand and sketched a diagram of the upcoming war on the ground, the situation was changing rapidly, he firmly grasped it, and he was as immobile as a mountain.
"The walls of the royal capital are very high, and if it is a field battle, of course, it can easily crush their army, but not in siege warfare. ”
Lin Ye drew a simple diagram of the city tower, using stones to represent each legion, forming a simple siege diagram to simulate the deduction process of the battlefield.
"Under normal circumstances, under the condition that the equipment quality of the soldiers on both sides is comparable, the ratio of battle losses between the offensive and defensive sides is about three to one, but if it is aimed at the degree of defense of Wang Du, the offensive and defensive battle losses may be increased to five to one, in fact, the ratio of the previous peasant army attacking the city is an astonishing twenty to one. ”
Lin Yeluo listed the detailed data, so that he could get a more intuitive reflection, and constantly kick the extra stones out of the simulated battle situation.
This represents the number of soldiers lost, and the mere pebbles seem to be just a simple quantitative comparison, but in the meaning of the pebbles.
But it was the fall of thousands of young soldiers, and the end of the siege was absolutely miserable, compared to the rush of the battle array.
"And this is still not considering the premise of the magic cannon equipped on the city wall, you may not know much about the power of this new type of magic cannon, although the magic cannon needs to consume a large amount of magic energy crystals, the price is expensive, but only one cannon is enough to make a dozen soldiers instantly turn into ashes, powerful. ”
Lin Ye accentuated his tone, the existence of the magic guide cannon is basically the prototype of artillery warfare in modern warfare, and there is one battle case that he is deeply impressed.
That is, Napoleon in modern history is the skillful use of artillery, only to complete the sweep on the European continent where Lin Ye was once active.
Hundreds of magic cannons can be fired at the same time, and hundreds of soldiers can be blown away in an instant, which is more deterrent than actually lethal on the battlefield.
Although the magic guide cannon cannot be used on the battlefield on a large scale due to many reasons such as being too cumbersome and consumed, Lin Ye can fully predict it.
With the development of industry in the Far East, he will forcibly improve the process of industrialization in this era, and in less than a few decades, the Miracle Continent will enter the age of steam, whether this is a good thing for this world, he is inconvenient to make a conclusion, everything can only be judged by history.
"If it's a magic cannon, Duke Lin Ye doesn't have to worry, someone has already promised to solve this big trouble. ”
At this time, Wren suddenly stood up and said, Leighton also nodded, which made Lin Ye look at the two brothers with some surprise.
"Is it His Royal Highness Layton's old ministry in the royal capital? It is not easy to solve hundreds of magic cannons at the same time, it seems that His Royal Highness Layton still has a very strong appeal in the royal capital, which really makes me admire, so it can be regarded as a big problem. ”
Lin Ye showed a relieved expression while being surprised, it was not that he didn't have a way to solve the magic guide cannon, but the loss was too great.
If Leighton's men were willing to do it for him, he would not be happy to do it, and it was better for Leighton to suffer a loss than to let his soldiers die.
"No, not my old ministry, but ...... The gang that had been restrained by Gomez before, they were willing to contribute. ”
Layton shook his head slightly, negating Lin Ye's guess, he didn't directly say who it was, but left it to Lin Ye to guess.
"You say yes...... What did they want to do at this time? Moreover, they have been lurking for more than twenty years, and have always made restoration their duty, and the more chaotic the situation in the empire becomes, the more favorable it is for them, and now they should be reaping the benefits of the fisherman......"
Lin Ye frowned, originally thinking that Leighton would be able to solve the big trouble of the magic guide cannon smoothly, which should have been a good thing for him.
But now it seems that solving one trouble has led to another big trouble, and I really don't know which one is more troublesome.
"Although I may not be involved in the discussion between the two of us, is it a bit inappropriate to involve the old party of the former dynasty in this incident?"
The Messiah looked at Layton with some doubts, and even she could see that the introduction of the old party would inevitably lead to endless troubles, let alone a person with Layton's vision.
"I've wondered if the old party have evil intentions, but their request is to carve out a small area of the southern part of the empire as their self-governing territory when it happens, and the cost is almost negligible, and what they want to bring is more than just destroying the magic cannon. ”
Leighton fully understood the doubts of Lin Ye and the Messiah, and he was not worried about them.
"The investment is completely disproportionate to the return, and it's hard to imagine what a group of people who have been dormant for more than 20 years and who are desperate for power would ask for it. ”
Lin Ye didn't believe that these old parties would come out to do good deeds at such a time, it would be a strange thing if they didn't make waves.
Before, Gomez, the leader of the old party, had been pressing on the table, so they didn't dare to make a move, so they could only let the undercurrent surge.
But with the death of Gomez, the situation in the royal capital has become more and more chaotic, and they are finally able to use their skills unscrupulously.
They began to come to the fore to show their thirst for power, and the longer they repressed, the more they wanted more than a small piece of territory.
"That's true, but if they don't agree to their requests, they'll go to Rhaegar to negotiate and use the forces they've built up over twenty years to deal with us, which is a big trouble to be underestimated. ”
There was a deep helplessness in Layton's words, their army was approaching the city, but they were about to be constrained by a group of old parties from the previous dynasty.
It's a real headache.
