If Mo Lingjun, Meng Qian, and Lu Xiaobing had chosen to clear the roadblocks first and attack step by step in accordance with their so-called requirements on several battlefields today, instead of choosing the way of bombing and bombing to open the way, victory would still be in doubt.

But the course of this battle is probably about to change, Guo Rong believes that the old pawn of the Jiaodong army who sneaked up on him is definitely not a few in the opposing army.

If it weren't for the impact of the explosion and related effects, under the leadership of these elite veterans, the intensity of the entire Jiaodong Army's defense and counterattack would have been greatly improved, and the number of casualties would probably be several times higher than it is now.

When the time comes, it would be wishful thinking to achieve a battle loss ratio of 1:30 or even 1:50, which is basically equivalent to no injury.

In fact, Guo Rong knew very well that even on the battlefield where the largest number of battle losses were under the command of Meng Gan, the proportion of battle losses was far lower than he expected.

For a long time, or in the bloody battle and perseverance of Qiuzi, Guo Rong inadvertently had an idea in his mind, that is, to preserve the vitality of Huaxia as much as possible.

In line with this principle, Guo Rong tried his best to make the Tang people not kill the Tang people.

However, under today's bloody results, Guo Rong knew that he was finally wrong, sometimes, killing is killing!

In the current situation where both vitality and internal and external troubles coexist, such a thing as Our Lady is absolutely unacceptable, and ending all internal strife with a quick knife is the best way to preserve the vitality of China.

I did have some wishful thinking before, the generosity and kindness Li Yu has the right to show it, Li Chun is also qualified to show it, and even the Zaifu of the current dynasty can use it.

But it should not be considered by the general who can control the fate of the Tang Dynasty, as a soldier, it is good to only retain the iron-blooded side, as he once said, it is what he should do to protect the plow of the Tang Dynasty with the sword of the Tang Dynasty.

Regarding gunpowder, or black powder, Guo Rong has actually been in a very complicated and tangled state, but at this moment, as the knot in his heart is broken, Guo Rong's feeling in front of him suddenly opens up in front of him.

Through today's battle test, Xiao Junpeng, a group of guys who play with gunpowder, has actually touched the threshold of the bomb.

Although Guo Rong himself does not know how to make bombs, Guo Rong's bombs are essentially composed of fuses and gunpowder covered with shells.

Even in later generations, from the smallest grenade to the larger mortar shell, to grenades, armor-piercing shells, submunitions, aerial bombs, and then to nuclear bombs, counting special explosives such as mines, the essential structure of bombs has not changed.

It is nothing more than an advance in the way the fuse and charge are made, or the addition of devices such as stabilizer wings and suspension to the outside of the shell.

From this point of view, Xiao Junpeng's idea is actually very good, before the accumulation of technology in casting is not enough, it is completely possible to combine bombs with eight-bull crossbows and catapults.

Thinking of this, Guo Rong suddenly felt that it was time for the Changying Army, or the forbidden army, to add a new class, as for this class, Guo Rong felt that the name of the rocket army, the rocket army was good.

Of course, not everything is so rosy.

When the troops were dispatched from Chang'an, they actually carried a lot of black powder raw materials with the support of the logistics battalion, but when they divided the troops, Xiao Junpeng did not carry many black powder raw materials.

The effect of this battle was good, considering the power of the explosion and the cost-effectiveness ratio, Guo Rong felt that the raw materials for the black powder that Xiao Junpeng could make a bomb in his hands were probably not much.

If you are not in a hurry, you can indeed mobilize from the rear, but there is no time for that now.

After the threat of Jimo and Laoshan bases was lifted, they immediately had to divide their troops to all parts of Jiaodong, not to mention resting, at most they would continue to set off after lunch, and they didn't even have time to rest......

It's just that there is no way to do it, hundreds of thousands of troops in Hebei and Liaodong, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest and southwest of Tibet, and the hidden dangers in the rear must be completely eliminated before the strategic decisive battle, otherwise once there is a problem behind the fight, it will be a failure.

Huaixi has been quietly eradicated, and now the biggest hidden danger within Datang is because Li Shidao may be introduced to Jiaodong, the little people from the island country.

Only by completely taking Laizhou and Dengzhou, and purging the entire Jiaodong, can we completely eliminate the potential threat of the small people in the island country.

Compared with Dongying's little people, as long as Mo Lingjun can choke the Shouguang and Beihai lines before Li Shidao reacts, and cut off the connection between Li Shidao and Jiaodong Port, even if the mechanism is exhausted, Li Shidao is just a small Karami-level danger.

Before he knew it, Guo Rong had already walked back and forth in the camp that had just changed hands for three full years, so that the sun had quietly hung in the sky.

Until a certain moment, a strong aroma entered Guo Rong's snort.

"Gollum~"

Guo Rong's stomach screamed very angrily.

Of course, this is not to blame Guo Rong for not eating anything from the last meal before the expedition yesterday afternoon to the present, except for eating a few bites of jerky before the battle.

In fact, with the logistical supply of the Changying Army, there is no problem in providing Guo Rong with a little extra food, but it is unrealistic to provide food for the 16,000-strong raid troops in a long-distance attack.

Although Guo Rong can add a meal, if this meal is added, do you still want morale?

What's more, eating and drinking together, sharing weal and woe is one of the ways for generals in the army to boost morale, so Guo Rong can only be hungry.

And now, after smelling the aroma, Guo Rong's attention was attracted and began to look in the direction where the aroma came from.

Soon, a large scene that Guo Rong and the entire Changying Army were very familiar with appeared in front of Guo Rong.

Several smokeless stoves were dug out of the huge open space, and on the smokeless stoves, a large black iron pot that was very familiar to the army with a mouthful of long tassels.

On top of the iron pot are steaming steamers, and inside the steamers are layers of food, such as full heads, flower rolls, and steamed buns.

A portion of the steamer has been removed, revealing the fragrant rice porridge underneath the steamer.

", is the cooking class so nb, forget about the black pot on its back, how to bring the steamer!"

looked at the side and was dumbfounded, his stomach was growling, and he looked at Zhi Muyu who was eager to eat.

"Smack!"

Guo Rong slapped the back of Zhi Muyu's head.

"If you're hungry, hurry up and get in line!"

"What about you, boss?"

"Have you forgotten the rules?"

"Well, the Supreme Commander must ...... before the last person uses it"

"Smack!"

"You stinky boy, you still have the energy to memorize the rules, I don't think you're hungry at all, you don't go to the queue yet, if you don't go, you really have to wait until the end with me."

"Forehead ......"

As Zhi Muyu also entered the queue of Changying sergeants, Guo Rong began to stand alone next to the queue.

Although he did not move at all, but this immovable posture still brought great encouragement and support to all the soldiers, although he was almost hungry and pumped, but looking at the high-spirited Changying army, Guo Rong's body warmed his heart.

Looking up at the end of the queue closest to him, the big man standing at the front with a big spoon serving soup for the soldiers, with a face full of meat, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and muscles exploded, is called Wang Songbo.

Speaking of Wang Wang Songbo's background is very similar to Aunt Yan, in fact, not only the experience is quite similar.

Aunt Yan is the cook of Xingqing Palace, Wang Songbo used to be the master of the East Palace, Xingqing Palace's first battle figure is not too tall but Wang Songbo, who is full of meat, is the same as Aunt Yan, but it is not so dazzling under Aunt Yan's aura.

After the second round of reform of the Changying Army, Wang Songbo, like Aunt Yan, became the only two cooking soldiers in the forbidden army, and still remained as the elder of the cooking soldiers.

Aunt Yan stayed in Chang'an, while Wang Songbo followed Guo Rong on the expedition.

To tell the truth, although Wang Songbo promised Guo Rong that he would never delay the soldiers from having breakfast after the battle, the efficiency of the cooking class this time far exceeded Guo Rong's best expectations.

When the last team of foot soldiers began to line up to eat, Guo Rong, who was already hungry with his chest against his back, also silently lined up at the end of the queue.

The moment he saw Guo Rong, Wang Songbo, who was holding a big spoon, smiled and gave Guo Rong a bowl full of rice porridge, and then used a bamboo bowl to fill a pot helmet and two buns.

Seeing Wang Songbo's affection and movements, Guo Rong quietly walked to a low table next to him, and Wang Songbo, who followed, put the bamboo bowl in front of Guo Rong.

took out the pot helmet, took a bite, and then went down with rice porridge, and then Guo Rong's face brought a touch of happiness, and after eating half of the pot helmet in one go, Guo Rong burped reluctantly.

"Iron~"

"Full?" Wang Songbo next to him asked with a smile.

"Hiccup~ Oh, it's okay, at least I'm not hungry, I was really a little flustered when I was hungry just now."

Slowing down, Guo Rong took out a bag from his waist and placed it on the low table, then took out a small piece of jerky from it and put it in his mouth, chewed it beautifully, and then reluctantly swallowed it.

"Zhang Jiaxuan's dried meat of the sika deer in Zhongnan Mountain marinated in medicinal wine, there is not much left!"

"Good thing," said Wang Songbo, who raised his right hand and wiped it on his apron, then took out a piece of jerky from the bag and ate it.

"Brother Song Bo, this speed is okay, it will be less than half an hour since the end of the battle."

"Hey, don't mention it, I almost can't make it to dinner!"

"What's wrong?"

"Originally, I was going to dig a smokeless stove directly outside, but the guys in the engineer battalion finished the battle with a few bangs, and they were going to take advantage of the settings in the barracks, but they found that their things were rotten."

"In the end, there is no way to do it directly here," Wang Songbo pointed to his feet,

"Digging the stove directly on their school field, there is not much loss on the battlefield, and the idle boys help, so they barely finish the stove, but it's too late to do anything else."

"That's it," Guo Rong looked at Wang Songbo suspiciously,

"Brother Songbo, don't make trouble, I'm surprised that you can keep up with me, the guys are all left in the camp, and I'm more curious, just bring the pot, how to bring the steamer!"

"Want to know?"

"Of course, the pot can still be carried on the body, the steamer is not easy to get, it is light and takes up space, if the method is good, maybe it will be ...... in the future"

"Actually, the method is very simple, you just don't worry about money!"

"Worried about money?"

Listening to Wang Songbo's voice and looking at Wang Songbo's malicious smile, Guo Rong felt a deep uneasiness in his heart, to be honest, Guo Rong had a feeling of being cheated again.

"Boss, Brother Mo sent someone to deliver the letter."

Hearing that Mo Lingjun had sent someone to deliver the letter, Guo Rong's eyes fell in the direction of Zhi Muyu's finger, and a messenger equipped with light cavalry was waiting with a horse.

Guo Rong didn't care about exploring the situation on the side of the cooking class, got up and drank all the rice porridge in the bowl, and clasped his fists at Wang Songbo.

"Brother Songbo!"

"It's time to go, I'm not in a hurry here."

After more than a dozen breaths, Guo Rong and Zhi Muyu had already come to the messenger's side.

"How's going on with the cavalry?"

"Back to the general, after taking the target camp, Captain Mo found that the casualties were minimal, so he directly led a cavalry battalion directly to Jimo City."

"After showing the relevant certificates to the defenders of Jimo and the officials stationed in the imperial court, and confirming the identity, the cavalry regiment has entered and taken over the city defense of Jimo, and at the same time, Captain Mo also sent a company of cavalry to the Laoshan base to take over the defense of the Laoshan base."

"Captain Mo asks the general to send troops and horses to Jimo and Laoshan as soon as possible to take over the defense of Jimo City and the Laoshan base."

The style of this messenger is exactly the same as Mo Lingjun's, simple and capable, but it hides a unique little trick.

Taking advantage of the small casualties, without saying a word, he first took the credit for taking over Jimo City and Laoshan, and then he was afraid that the defense of Laoshan and Jimo would affect his own troops to look back and attack Qingzhou, so he sent messengers non-stop......

This guy, after the benefits are reaped, take advantage of the cheap, and then leave all the problems to himself, let himself guard him, and he can hear it clearly ten miles away from this wishful thinking.

Ignoring Guo Rong didn't mind, he directly shook his head slightly and smiled, some things are really feng shui in turn, the former emperor gave him amazing power, and as a result, he turned the entire Chang'an City upside down.

Including making a big fuss about Taixue and hollowing out six ...... At the time, he didn't understand, but now Guo Rong knows that he can be in the limelight at that time, and it is because the Emperor Taishang is constantly wiping his ass.

And now, Guo Rong knows that he is also learning from the Emperor Taishang, fully handing over their freedom and power, giving full play to their imagination and creativity, and fully demonstrating their abilities.

Like the Emperor Taishang, his trust has also been reaped exponentially, since Mo Lingjun thought of it and was the first to do it, what could he do to finish it for him?

"How is the Jimo and Laoshan bases installed, have they been affected by the war, and have they been attacked by the rout?"

"General Hui, Jimo City was on alert and prepared for war because of the explosions and battles of the three large battalions of the Jiaodong Army, but after it was determined that it was the Changying Army, it came into contact with the alert, and at the same time handed over the city defense."

Guo Rong nodded, it was a little too much, but it was normal, after all, Jimo is also a very special city in Datang.

Compared with other cities or metropolises with economic, military and political significance, because of technological progress and navigation development, Jimo is actually under the joint management of the Ministry of Development and Reform, navigation supervision, technical supervision and education supervision, and is more like a city of culture and technology.

At this moment, the only places that can be compared with Jimo in Datang are Lantian County, which is centered on education and science and technology, at the foot of Yushan Mountain in the southeast of Chang'an, and Sanyuan County, which is located on the side of Jingshui in the north of Chang'an and is planned as the smelting and forging center of Datang.

Before determining the location of the little people in the island country, he needs to stay in Jimo for a period of time, firstly, according to the order of the Emperor Li Yu to inspect the sea ships, and at the same time try to put forward some suggestions for improving the sea ships, of course, at the same time, it is necessary to form a special guard army with the independent battalion as the backbone.

"Mu Yu, do the scouts have any information about the Japanese soldiers?"

"No, boss!"

The devil has not yet given feedback, and he should not leave in a short period of time, since this is the case, it is nothing to let the independent battalion take over Jimo in advance, after thinking about it for a while, Guo Rong said.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"Mu Yu, go and inform Han Xiang ......"

However, in the middle of speaking, Guo Rong suddenly stopped.
