Chapter 143: The First Batch of Costume Changeovers Should Be Completed!
Zhuge Liang's words made everyone stunned.
Attack the Dawu Dynasty first, but not the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Is this crazy?
The Great Zhou Dynasty will 100% attack the border army, while the Great Wu Dynasty may not send troops to Yumen Pass.
Under the trade-off, no matter how you look at it, you should do it to the Great Zhou Dynasty first.
If you do it against the Dawu Dynasty, won't you be attacked on your back?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhuge Liang got up and said, "There are pros and cons to attacking the Dawu Dynasty!" ”
"There are three of them!"
Seeing him speak, everyone gathered their minds and listened carefully.
wanted to see what Zhuge Liang thought of this matter, just when everyone was expecting it, Zhuge Liang spoke again.
"First, the army on our side is strong and strong, and the morale of the Dawu Dynasty is low, and this is the time when my enemy is weak!"
"Second, attacking the border pass of the Dawu Dynasty can relieve the pressure on the Yumen Pass, so that the army has no worries about the expedition!"
"Third, under the capture of neighboring counties, the problem of a large population in the border can also be alleviated!"
After he finished speaking, all the generals also nodded yes.
These three benefits are not difficult to understand.
Zhuge Liang explained a little, and everyone could immediately understand easily.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was no longer continuing, Zhao Wuji asked anxiously.
"And the downside? Tell me a thing or two! ”
On the side, Cheng Meng and others also echoed one after another.
"Yes, the military advisor continued!"
"It is worthy of being a military advisor, just a few words can wake us up, and I am worthy of the trust of the general!"
In the praise of everyone, Zhuge Liang slowly spoke.
"The disadvantages are also extremely simple, the Dawu Dynasty may jump over the wall in a hurry and directly raise troops to conscript!"
"At that time, our border army will be attacked on both sides!"
When these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Facing the enemy on both sides is the biggest trouble for the border army.
After all, the border army now seems to have 800,000 soldiers and horses, of which 500,000 are composed of Great Zhou prisoners, and the combat strength is uneven.
If there is a mutiny on the battlefield because of this incident, it will be because of the decline in morale and the defeat of the army.
Therefore, for the border army, it is the foundation of the 300,000 border army that is trustworthy.
Kong An looked at the sand table, pondered for a while, and then asked, "If they attack the Dawu Dynasty, where is their bottom line?" ”
His words changed the mood again.
Everyone looked at the sand table and began to think about the bottom line of the Dawu Dynasty.
Kong An's words were extremely clear, and there was a premise for the Dawu Dynasty to take action against the border army.
This premise is naturally that the border army has touched the bottom line of the Dawu Dynasty.
As for this bottom line, it is naturally not because of the existence of Yumen Pass.
It has been half a year since the border army took Yumen Pass, and the Dawu Dynasty has long been adapted.
If everyone sends troops, where to fight is the final bottom line of the Dawu Dynasty, this is the most critical thing.
After all, as long as everyone doesn't touch the bottom line, there is a high probability that the Dawu Dynasty will not tear its face with the border army, and naturally it will not attack the border on a large scale.
Zao Wou-Ki pointed to a town in the sand table and spoke in confusion.
"This Qingfeng Town is the largest town on the border, with an army of 200,000 and nearly a million border people!"
"This place must be the bottom line of the Dawu Dynasty!"
Everyone on the side looked at the town he was referring to and nodded in agreement.
Qingfeng Town is the first important town in the border pass of the Dawu Dynasty.
In order to prevent the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xiongnu from sending troops at the same time, they hoarded heavy troops.
Among them, the soldiers and horses were established on the one hand to prevent the loss of Yumen Pass and the Dawu Dynasty to defend no longer in danger.
On the one hand, in order to guard against the Xiongnu army, they hoarded heavy troops at the border passes in case of emergency.
From this point of view, this Qingfeng Town is the bottom line of the Dawu Dynasty, and it is no exaggeration to say that once everyone attacks Qingfeng Town, they will be able to face the hinterland of the Dawu Dynasty after that.
Kong An on the side immediately pointed to the first city outside the Yumen Pass, and said loudly: "In this case, how can this Taishan City be broken?" ”
Cheng Meng looked at Taishan City, and said indifferently: "Give me 30,000 soldiers and horses, and I can capture this city in just one day!" ”
The crowd on the side did not compete with him.
As a pioneer army, Cheng Meng's first siege is also a matter of course, there is no doubt about it.
Seeing Cheng Meng speak, Tie Niu also said in an urn voice.
"I'm going too!"
After speaking, he was about to get up, and the deputy on the side was frightened by his appearance, and they were all a little stunned, and Zao Wou-Ki said helplessly.
"Tie Niu, now he is deducing and arranging military affairs, not fighting!"
After listening to him, Tie Niu let out a helpless sigh, and then sat back in his place, and the rest of the people immediately began to continue deducing.
"The city of Mount Tai is broken, and the remaining three cities are bound to take more precautions, and it is not advisable for cavalry to attack and break the city!"
Kong An immediately took out a dummy and put it on the sand table.
"30,000 infantry, 30,000 crossbowmen, you can break the city in one day!"
On the other side, Zao Wou-Ki and others also began to deduce the breaking of the city.
They all took out the things at the bottom of the box.
Many generals have their own opinions, each showing their talents, and countless methods of breaking the city have been spread from the mouths of the people.
On the side, a group of soldiers discussed for a while, and suddenly someone spoke.
"If the red-coated cannon can be studied, the siege will be much easier!"
Zhao Wuji and the others were all moved when they heard this, and everyone looked at Su Mo and asked suspiciously: "General, when will the red-clothed cannon that I studied earlier be able to get out!" ”
Everyone looked at Su Mo with great anticipation, wanting to see something in his eyes.
The study of the redcoat cannon has been heard of before.
It's just that Su Mo's protection of these military technologies is too in place.
Even the adjutant general of the army did not know.
Now only Zhuge Liang knows the progress of the research and development of these red-clothed cannons and firearms.
Looking at everyone's curious expressions, Su Mo looked at Zhuge Liang randomly, and then nodded to indicate that Zhuge Liang understood, got up and spoke.
"The redcoat cannon was developed early, and now it is being manufactured intensively!"
"The power of the first batch of red-coated cannons is not the best, but it is enough for the generals!"
"According to the current situation, it will be possible to complete all the outfits in about half a year!"
Hearing this, everyone was first overjoyed, and then they were a little disappointed.
The good news is that the red-coated cannon has been developed, and the border army has another big killing weapon.
Everyone had long heard about the power of the red-clad cannon.
I've seen the power of test specimens before.
With this thing, the defense of the city walls is like a bubble today.
Break with a single stab.
What kind of natural danger, what kind of important town, as long as one hundred and ten red-clothed cannons are placed outside, they will directly plow him flat for three days and three nights.
As generals, they are keenly aware of the horrors of the red-coated cannons.
Once put into use, the tide of battle will change dramatically.
As for loss, it's time.
It will take half a year before it can be put into use.
Spring is in one month.
At that time, whether it was attacking the Dawu Dynasty or the Great Zhou Dynasty, the big war would start, and the daylily would be half cold half a year later.
Seeing that everyone was down, Zhuge Liang immediately sold it.
"The first batch of firecrackers has already been prepared!"
"Now there are 5,000 firecrackers in the arsenal, enough to organize a team of 1,000 people!"
For a while, the soldiers became excited again.
The Guns of the Thousand Men team?
That's not a little stronger than a thousand-man cavalry.
Especially now that countries do not know how to guard against firearms, the effect is even more terrifying.
Once the border army is put into use, the effect can be imagined.
Cheng Meng hurriedly spoke: "General, this thing has to be tried by our vanguard army!" ”
"It's not easy to use, let's experiment with everyone!"
Zao Wou-Ki and the others were all angry by his shameless words.
Still experimenting experimentally?
If it doesn't work, the military advisor won't say it in front of everyone.
Once production began, it meant that the firecracker had undergone numerous trials.
There are not too many dangers before it will be put into production, where does it come from needs to be tested.
But everyone thought of his name as a vanguard army, and they no longer continued to fight.
In any major battle, the vanguard army is the existence with the most casualties.
It is also a matter of time to give good things to the vanguard first, and everyone does not feel awkward.
Su Mo looked at Cheng Meng's expectant expression, and scolded with a smile.
"What do you want?"
"This firearm unit doesn't belong to anyone!"
"I'm going to set up a special army, and a special person will be in charge of commanding it!"
"Why don't you give up the position of commander of the vanguard army?"
Hearing this, Cheng Meng shook his head again and again, like a rattle.
For him to give up the position of commander-in-chief of the vanguard army is tantamount to a fool's dream,
The merits of the vanguard army are not comparable to that of an army with firearms.
Whether it is attacking the city or fighting in front of the battle, the fire gun is not as real as the vanguard army.
The generals on the side were still excited, and they all wanted to fight with Su Mo for this firearm spot.
Seeing that everyone was too obsessed, Su Mo looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "The military factory will speed up production and update a batch of equipment for you as soon as possible!" ”
"Is it expected to be completed before the expedition, are you sure?"
The latter thought for a moment and nodded.
