Fire! ”

"Boom! ……”

On the north bank of the river, the sound of artillery fire exploded like thunder, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the flames of war flew one after another.

Across the river bank, on the position of the Wei army's red-coated cannons, a whole thousand brand-new artillery guns fired ruthlessly at the opposite bank, and the artillery roared and landed on the Jin army camp on the south bank of the river, and immediately bombarded the antlers, stockades, and watchtowers arranged by the Jin army, and the soldiers on it were also blown up beyond recognition, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

The sound of artillery fire, screams, shouts, and shouts of killing were mixed together, and the twilight cast a tragic shadow over the battle.

For the offensive battle, first bombardment, and then use the tactics of the sea of people to take it, this is the consistent tactics of the Wei army.

"Attack!"

Seeing the Jin army camp trembling under the bombardment of the red-clothed cannons, and having no resistance, Ran Min immediately drew his sword and ordered the whole army to attack.

"Kill!"

Crossing the river to fight, the Wei army is no stranger. They had already prepared enough bamboo rafts and rafts, and they were waiting for Ran Min to give an order, and then the whole army would attack.

However, what they never expected was that when the Wei soldiers boarded the raft and moved quickly towards the opposite bank, the Jin army on the opposite side suddenly launched dozens of artillery, which instantly bombarded the raft used by the Wei army to cross the river, and the soldiers on the raft all fell into the river, killing and wounding most of them.

"Why does the Jin army have artillery?" Ran Min was dumbfounded.

The generals don't know why.

Wei Liao hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, could it be that the Jin people imitated our red-clothed cannon and developed it?" ”

"It's not impossible." Ran Ke also said: "The power of the red-clothed cannon is extremely powerful, and the Jin people are terrified. Moreover, among the Jin Kingdom, there are many capable people, Taoist priests and alchemists, and Lord Ge Hong is still from Jiangnan, so there is nothing to make a fuss about when the Jin Kingdom can tinker with artillery. ”

"No!" Ran Min shook his head and said: "It's only been a long time, and the Jin Kingdom has developed the red-clothed cannon, if you want to say that there is no cat in it, I don't believe it." There is a high probability that there will be a traitor in our military factory or firearms research institute. ”

"This ......"

That shouldn't be possible, right?

The generals didn't really believe that there was a traitor in the arsenal or the gunpowder research institute.

You must know that the workers of the military factory are all innocent people, these people do not have the slightest bad record, and the salary is extremely high, the treatment is very good, plus their families are confined to live in one place, and there are Wei troops on all sides, and they can't escape if something happens!

There are also warlocks from the Firearms Research Institute, they are equivalent to the existence of "academicians", Ran Min has always regarded them as treasures, and there will be rewards during the New Year's holidays, and they will also be knighted and given land, so they are almost enshrined as ancestors.

And their relatives are also imprisoned, as hostages, once someone has a problem. The court would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

It stands to reason that no one will defect.

But the facts are already in front of you, and the Jin people really made artillery.

Could it be that the Jin army picked up the red-coated cannon on the battlefield and then imitated it?

It's not right, generally speaking, the Wei army will only use red-coated cannons when attacking fortified positions, with an overwhelming advantage, so it is impossible to leave red-coated cannons on the battlefield.

couldn't figure it out, Ran Min simply stopped thinking about it.

After a whole day of fighting, the Wei army was never able to cross the Chushui River.

In the camp of the Jin army, the great Sima Huan Wen convened the generals to discuss the matter.

General Yuan Qiao said worriedly: "Great Sima, the Wei army's offensive is so fierce, with our current military strength and the fortifications on the south bank of the water, I'm afraid it won't last long." ”

All the generals said, "Yes! Da Sima, the Wei army is numerous, and there are sophisticated equipment and equipment, the morale is high, and the enemy is several times larger than me, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight! ”

"I'm afraid this water barrier won't last more than a month."

"It's pretty much the same in Baling City. Most of our troops are old and weak, although they have been trained, they still lack weapons and armor, and it is difficult to win this battle! ”

Hearing this, Huan Wen's face sank: "Be quiet." ”

All the generals shut up and listened to Huan Wen's speech.

Huan Wen said: "The morale of the enemy army is high, and the morale of our army is sluggish. I also know that Wei has been preparing for this battle to destroy the Jin Dynasty for three years, and it is far superior to our Jin army in terms of grain and grass, logistics and transportation, baggage, troops, and even combat strength. ”

"So I plan to take advantage of the vast territory and large strategic depth of my Jin Kingdom to completely drag down the Wei army that came from afar!"

When General Yuan Qiao heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "What does Da Sima mean...... Retreat? ”

"Exactly."

"No." Yuan Qiao said with a solemn face: "Da Sima, the water is less than a hundred miles away from Jiangling. Once we retreat, the Wei army will be able to reach Jiangling overnight! Jiangling is the current capital of our Jin Kingdom, how can we let the Wei army's troops threaten it again? ”

"Yes! Da Sima, although Jiangling City is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, how long can it support in the face of hundreds of thousands of Wei troops and the destruction of their red-coated cannons? There is no room for error in Gangneung! ”

Looking at the excited appearance of the generals, Huan Wen said in a deep voice: "Jiangling City will definitely not be able to defend it for long, and I didn't plan to be trapped in a lonely city in the first place!" ”

"Da Sima, what do you mean by that?"

"Look."

Huan Wen picked up a straight whip, pointed at the map of the mountains, rivers and rivers of the Jin Kingdom, and said: "I am going to play the imperial court, invite the imperial court to enter Sichuan, and temporarily move the capital to Chengdu." Then the huge place of Jingzhou was used as an outpost to fight against the Wei army, as well as the main area of fierce warfare! ”

Drawing a circle on the map, Huan Wen raised his eyebrows and said: "Jingzhou is connected to Bashu in the west, Wuhui in the east, the Central Plains in the north, and Nanyue in the south. Moreover, Jingzhou has many mountains and rivers and dangerous obstacles, and the iron cavalry of the Wei army is not conducive to fighting in Jingzhou, here, the infantry of our Jin State can play a greater advantage! ”

"As long as the imperial court can move its capital to Chengdu, our army can rely on the land of Jingxiang to mediate with the Wei army, and then completely drag down the Wei army on the labor expedition, and even defeat it like the Battle of Yiling! Destroy it! Let Ran Min end up riding alone! ”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and felt that Huan Wen's plan was very bold and incredible, but the success rate was still very high.

And the general Zhou Fu said with some concerns: "Da Sima, let the imperial court temporarily move the capital to Chengdu, and Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will patrol Bashu, this is ...... Can the imperial court agree? ”

was forced to flee everywhere by the Wei army, like a lost dog, which is really ugly.

Moreover, the authority of the Jin family has actually plummeted, and many scholars, and even scholars in the south, have already regarded the Wei State as the Zhengshuo of the Han family, and the Jin State has really become the existence of "chaotic ministers and thieves"!

Huan Wen sighed and said, "I will do my best to persuade the imperial court." If my Jin Kingdom still puts the capital in Jiangling, it will be the way to die! The current crisis cannot be broken even if Bai Qi and Han Xin are alive. ”

The generals agreed.

With tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to block the hundreds of thousands of elite divisions of the Wei State. Being able to resist for a month under the powerful offensive of the Wei army is already the limit!
