In the palace, the ministers were talking a lot, and they were all surprised by the news.
After the unification, Meng Tian was ordered to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Huns in the north. They were defeated and retreated, and finally conquered the land of Hetao. From then on, he stationed in the north to frighten the Huns, who often did not dare to invade the border.
"Everyone, please take a look!" Ying Zheng threw the memorial down, and the imperial censor quickly picked it up and read it carefully. After a while, his face became solemn, and other ministers also circulated it one after another, and their expressions changed greatly.
This news is true. The Xiongnu really dared to invade the great Qin Dynasty, and they had already crossed the Great Wall to Linbei and Shangjun.
Meng Yi resisted vigorously, and with the help of Master Fusu, he was still retreating steadily, and Xiaoguan in the North almost fell.
This is a great threat. Xiaoguan is the second pass to resist the Xiongnu. If it is broken, it will directly threaten the Northland, and under the Northland is Longxi. If Longxi is also broken, Xianyang will be in danger.
This is an urgent message from Meng Tian in Shangjun. The front line is in danger.
"Did everyone clearly see what was said in the quick play?" Ying Zhengyuan's eyes widened in anger, and his tall body stood like a giant, but he could not resist his anger.
"I have seen that what I am using is a huge killing weapon."
The Taiwei was the first to say, and everyone nodded. It was said that the Xiongnu used a large-scale killing weapon, which made the 300,000-strong army vulnerable and retreating steadily.
The Huns were good at cavalry warfare. If they were absolutely invincible on the vast grasslands, facing the Great Wall, they could only sigh in despair.
In fact, Meng Tian was able to securely defend the north not only by his own excellent ability, but also by the powerful defensive capabilities of the Great Wall.
The Great Wall stretches endlessly across the lofty mountains in the north, and is guarded by an army of 300,000. No matter how brave the cavalry is, they can only stop moving forward. Coupled with Meng Tian's good fighting skills, the sharp warriors are the brave men who unified the six countries. Can shake.
Of course, this is only relative to the cold weapon era, but it is different when a big killer weapon appears.
If the ministers have not come into contact with large-scale weapons, such as the Huns invaded the borders and repeatedly captured strongholds, then they have to consider its authenticity, but after seeing large-scale weapons, everything will be taken for granted.
Although Meng Tian has an army of 300,000 men and occupies key areas, they are all cold weapons. How can they resist it? Defeat is inevitable.
"I just don't understand. The great murder weapon is owned by our great Qin. Why did it appear in the Xiongnu and let it defeat our northern warriors?"
The Taiwei asked a question, his eyes swept across the audience, and he glanced at Li Zhao inadvertently. It was very different, but it was actually Dajun's question.
Of course, few people know about this issue.
When Shanglinyuan was attacked by the enemy, only Ying Zheng, Li Zhao and others knew the secrets stolen from the Iron Smelting Base, but they were not publicized to the outside world. After all, this was a matter that affected the people of Daqin and should not be widely publicized. This caused Allayed everyone’s doubts.
Li Zhao, who had been silent among them, knew that the words meant something, but he did not mean it. Some things were left to the emperor to explain. Although he was called a general, he was in vain. In the eyes of others, he was just a The merchants, who had a frighteningly high status, had little say in the government and the public.
But he never expected that the powerful weapon would be spread to the Xiongnu. It seemed that Duke Xiang had already arrived at the Xiongnu and contributed the powerful weapon to the Xiongnu.
This is a traitor who is determined to take down Da Qin.
In fact, Feng Jie, the imperial censor, also knew some of the inside story, but the involvement was very serious at this time, and his father was the culprit of the theft. Naturally, he did not dare to be presumptuous and remained silent.
This matter will be dealt with after the palace chaos. The emperor is kind to his ministers. Although Feng Quji rebelled, it did not bring harm to his family. Feng Jie remained in his original position, but was ignored.
Feng Jie also knew the impact of this incident on him, so he kept a low profile.
Now that things have come to an end, things cannot be concealed. The emperor exhaled heavily. During the long days of health care, his face had gained a lot of radiance, but now he looked old again.
He said softly: "This matter started with the palace incident." Then he told the story about the base being stolen during the palace incident, and the whole palace fell into silence for a while.
The palace incident occurred when Xianyang was about to fall. Some people surrendered to Hu Hai under pressure, which led to the attack on Shanglin Garden and the theft of the base.
Speaking of which, this was not just a personal failure of responsibility, but also the failure of the entire Da Qin. This matter cannot be blamed on anyone.
"What are the big killer weapons?" Yiqing asked angrily.
There were many kinds of deadly weapons created by Li Zhao, and there were three of them in the hands of two thousand elites, but each of them was a terrifying existence. Even if the Xiongnu only had one kind, it would crush Meng Tian and make him breathless.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Li Zhao. Among the ministers, apart from the emperor, Li Zhao knew it best.
"I'm afraid he has all three murder weapons." Li Zhao said helplessly. If he didn't say anything now, everyone would point their finger at him. He didn't want to suffer such a crime.
Judging from the weapons that appeared during the robbery of Black Water and the White Flower Valley, they were machine guns, grenades and anti-aircraft guns. If Xiang Gong really wanted to capture the Qin Dynasty in one fell swoop, he would have contributed these three weapons to the Xiongnu.
As for whether they had such a production speed, Li Zhao didn't believe it before, but after Heishui was robbed, he gave up this idea.
Triple kill weapon?
Everyone took a breath. They had seen the power of this three-kill weapon during the Xianyang Incident. At that time, only 20,000 defenders defeated a hundred thousand rebel troops. They were not repulsed, but defeated. Almost the entire army was annihilated, and the Qin army was defeated. There were very few casualties.
This shows the sharpness of the three-kill weapon.
If this sharp effect is followed, I am afraid that the Huns only need to lead an army of 60,000 to completely wipe out the 300,000 troops guarding the border.
This is a terrible imagination, and more likely a terrible reality.
In an instant, everyone's expressions became more solemn, and they looked at each other. Finally, they nodded to each other as if they had reached some kind of consensus, and said to the emperor in unison: "Your Majesty, please immediately order two thousand elite troops to support the north."
From the perspective of large-scale weapons, the current situation in Daqin is rather embarrassing. Although large-scale weapons have been available for a long time, they have not been used in military construction, and only two thousand elites can use them.
As for dispatching a large army, there is no need. In front of the big killing weapons, all armies are useless, otherwise the 100,000 bandit army with artillery will not be completely annihilated by the three big killing weapons.
The emperor sat high on the throne, but his face was frowning and his eyes were condensed into a line.
He knew that only 2,000 elite troops were capable of fighting against the Xiongnu army, but he learned from the quick notes that the Xiongnu troops dispatched a hundred thousand troops this time. This time they only dispatched 10,000 vanguard troops, but all of them had the power to kill. device.
Let’s not talk about whether the remaining 90,000 Xiongnu troops have any powerful weapons. Even if they don’t, the 10,000 vanguard troops cannot be dealt with by the 2,000 elite troops.
The current situation is very unfavorable to Da Qin.
Then, he looked at Li Zhao, seeking his solution.
If anyone has the power to turn the tide, it's only Li Zhao. That kid is always hiding something, and maybe he really has a solution.
For example, what kind of cannon was used to deal with the Hu Hai Qin Army at that time. Yes, I heard it was called the Red Coat Cannon, which was quite powerful. Also, according to Meng Yi’s report, the Qin Army general died suddenly and inexplicably. It was like God was helping him. He didn’t think It's God's help, it must be Li Zhao's method.
"Li Qing, is there a solution?"
