This is also Huang Qi's miscalculation, in the past few years, almost all of his energy has been spent on burning the stove and studying how to burn the stove better.

In a sense, the gun in his hand now with a lethality far exceeding that of a normal standard firearm is the crystallization of his wisdom in the past three years.

However, the gun he improved, although the lethality is powerful, but there is no possibility of popularization, on the one hand, the weight is too heavy, and secondly, in order to pursue a longer range, and greater lethality, not only sacrificed the stability of the gun, but more importantly, the use of large-caliber ammunition, making the barrel more likely to overheat.

Such a weapon is actually more suitable for assassination than battlefield legion combat.

And it is precisely because he no longer leads troops to fight, even if he goes to the battlefield, he does not lead troops, and he does not have the idea of rushing into the hinterland of the enemy, in this case, he naturally does not know much about the latest movements of the enemy.

He burns the stove every day, but he only knows that the enemy has also made firearms, and high-quality firearms have a range of 100 meters.

But he really didn't expect to come up with such a shield.

The main thing is that if you want to defend against bullets, the shield must be thick, and when marching in the field, even if there are wheels at the bottom of the shield, in fact, it is almost equal to nothing.

In this case, even if two strong men are used to push the shield and carry more than 100 catties of things, the speed will not be fast at all.

If the Taiping Battalion wanted to leave, with the mobility of the Taiping Battalion, it would be impossible for the Cao army holding the shield to catch up.

But this is said in the open field.

If such an array is set up at the pass out of the Southern Wilderness, the advantages of the Taiping Battalion's advanced firearms will be directly offset by half.

Losing the advantage of firearms, in terms of numbers, Ying Tianjun does not have an advantage, and once the time drags on, the disadvantage of Ying Tianjun's supply line being too long will also appear.

From the Southern Wilderness to Qingzhou, if you transport grain in a convoy, I am afraid it will take more than a month, and transporting grain will also consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

Moreover, the current industry of the Southern Wilderness is indeed developing well, and the production of chemical fertilizers has increased, and the population of the entire Southern Wilderness has also been mobilized, constantly producing various resources, but this kind of resources is not unlimited.

Zhao Cheng has accumulated savings for three years, and only then has he accumulated enough resources to support a big war, and to fight a war is to burn money and resources.

Once the time drags on, there will be huge problems in the resource allocation and resource circulation of the entire new country.

This is also the reason why, throughout the ages, after a major war, it has to be used for several years to give the people a rest and recuperation.

Even if Zhao Cheng had achieved the most rudimentary industrialization, it would still be impossible to resist such a law, unless the resources were unlimited.

In the modern world, there are already several powerful empires that have proven this with their own collapses.

"I have an iron shield array, although the speed is not good, but it is more than enough to use it as a guard."

"My camp, more than 20 miles in length and width, just cut off the road to the Heavenly Pass, if Zhao Cheng wants to bypass, not to mention that there are mostly cliffs on both sides, and there are more grass and trees, when the time comes, if it is to open the mountain and cut the grass, the time spent must be a lot."

"What's more important, if he goes around, I just have to harass him on the side, which can not only slow down the other party, but more importantly, disrupt his army's morale."

"Yes, the best choice for the other party is actually to retreat into the mountain, but this retreat is a complete loss of time, so that Sun Yuantai has a defense, at that time, if I am Sun Yuantai, I will definitely set fire to the mountain, and strive to destroy the main force of the other party's sneak attack here, so that it has no chance to fight with the large army......"

"Could it be that the Taiping Camp, which swept through the invincible opponents of the Southern Wilderness, is going to be buried here?!"

"Could it be that Da Cang is really destined for heaven?!"

"Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, just when Zhao Cheng was out of Lianshan, let me be stationed here......

Cao Zheng came to the watchtower again, and after giving the order, he looked at the overall situation, and couldn't help but think silently in his heart.

He didn't have the idea of going to the front line, the son of his daughter couldn't sit down, and if he went to the front line to command in person, and was killed by a stray bullet, it would be too wrong.

And Cao Zheng, at the moment, is in a very complicated mood, and for the first time, he deeply feels what is called destiny.

If it weren't for Sun Yuantai's remarks, which didn't seem to have any fundamental concerns, then tonight, I'm afraid that Zhao Cheng's army would directly remove the front barriers from their side.

When the time comes, it will really be unstoppable.

Even, the perish behind the great cang, may be because of this night.

And now, he is stationed here with an army of 100,000 troops, and the truncated passage makes it impossible for Zhao Cheng to bypass it in a short period of time.

The soldier is very fast, such a strange soldier, once he loses his speed, he will fall into a situation of being beaten.

The current situation, once such a main force is buried at this time and loses such a trump card, Zhao Cheng can still have a few chances of winning, which is really incalculable.

This is not only a matter of weapons, but more importantly, Zhao Cheng also wants to train a team like this in the future, which will take a lot of time.

War is a matter of eliminating the other, and after this time, Dacang will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, and it is impossible to give Zhao Cheng a chance to breathe.

When such a thought was born, Cao Zheng's original sincere heart suddenly faded.

He had a heart of sincerity before, because he knew a lot about the situation in the Southern Wilderness.

Especially for the trump card army Taiping Camp, he is even more jealous.

Looking at the past achievements of this army, even if it was him, he couldn't help but have a feeling that this was an invincible heavenly soldier.

As for the tiger and leopard ride that he felt powerful in the past, compared with the Taiping camp, grass mustard, grass mustard, all grass mustard!

But now, in this situation, when he encountered the Taiping Camp and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and me, in an instant, the invincible aura in his heart was immediately shattered.

It turns out that in this world, there is no real invincibility, but where soldiers are used, although weapons are important, they are equally important when the time and place are favorable, and they are enough to influence the situation of the war.

However, although Cao Zheng's mind was light, at this moment, he still had a strange sense of fate, that is, at this moment, the direction of the destiny seemed to be in his hands.

If he surrenders to Zhao Cheng at this moment, it will be the destiny of the new, and with his own counterattack, Dacang is afraid that he will be defeated this time.

And if he still chooses Dacang and blocks Zhao Cheng here, it will be the destiny of heaven.

If Dacang wins, with this most critical credit, as long as the follow-up war does not drop the chain, the king promised by the court must have his own.
