Being stimulated by a certain prince, the courtiers once again activated the unknown power mode. According to His Highness the prince, it seemed that this move was more than ten times more powerful than an airship that could take off into the air.
An airship is enough to shock the world. The damage caused by such immortal magic is far greater than that of an airship or a surface-to-surface missile that is more powerful than a Hongyi cannon. It is probably unimaginable.
Since His Highness the Crown Prince has never deceived the ministers before, and all the weapons mentioned have been released, it can be said that his words and deeds are consistent, and he has done what he said. Even if the ministers are a little skeptical this time, they are also very much looking forward to seeing it.
What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has even calculated the time when Donglu was severely damaged and retreated. This is too miraculous. Even if Liu Bowen was still assisting Emperor Taizu Gao in the world at that time, he couldn't calculate it in time!
Can you defeat the Donglu in sixty days?
I thought it would be a good time.
What if the Donglu besieged them and didn't fight?
What should we do?
If the food management methods mentioned by His Highness the Crown Prince Shicai are implemented, the food stored in the capital will be able to sustain the army in the city for at least half a year.
After half a year, it’s time for Donglu to withdraw his troops and withdraw outside the pass, right?
There is no money to be made in spring, as was the case when I entered the customs last winter.
If you besiege the capital, I will retreat into the city.
If you send troops to attack the city, I will use immortal magic.
Tsk tsk!
That's fine!
It depends on whether His Highness the Prince's immortal magic is really as sharp as he said.
It will take one month to severely damage Donglu...
It’s really unimaginable~!
"My dear friends, don't worry about this. I am the most valuable target in the capital. Huang Taiji led the main force of Donglu to enter the pass this time. His primary purpose is to capture the capital and capture me alive. The second is to covet the capital. The huge amount of food and salary in the palace, if obtained, would be enough to support the Donglu for ten years. To say the least, I will not let my mother and queen suffer the humiliation of the Donglu. If you, my beloved, do not have the intention of treason and surrender to the enemy, then Just wait for the good news. Regarding the matter of evading the enemy's immortal magic, I have already sent people to make arrangements. Now I will send Donglu to attack the city. If Donglu surrounds me without attacking, I will not be able to use this trick. Well! If you all, my dears, want to know how powerful this move is, let’s describe it this way, it’s equivalent to one hundred thousand Qi family troops helping us to defend the capital. In this way, all my dears, you can sit back and relax, right?”
Most of those who betrayed, begged for surrender, and contributed were sent to mine happily, and most of the rest were die-hard fans of Ming Dynasty.
Besides, Braid's target is not them. Capturing the prince and queen can undermine the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and seizing gold, silver and food can replenish the army's consumption.
A certain prince neither wanted to give his beautiful biological mother to the emperor, nor did he want to hand over tens of millions of taels of silver.
All in all, I don't intend to give away even a tael of silver or a woman.
"Big fight against the dynasty" is not "big farewell to the dynasty"!
If you don’t come to quarrel with me, I will go over and quarrel with you!
The reason why we haven't passed now is that we need to catch our breath first. When we are out of breath, we can kill him again and continue the fight!
Nowadays, the "defensive counterattack" tactic is adopted, which allows you to wait for work and wait for the rabbit.
When the other party doesn't know what's going on, quarrel with him fiercely. This is called "the art of war"!
"Your Highness, there are more than 220,000 crenellations in the old city, and there are more than 200,000 crenellations in the new city. The total number of crenellations in the whole city is nearly 400,000. And the defenders are 100,000 people. If they are divided into four groups , each batch only has 25,000 people, how can they guard such a long city?"
The ministers had just heard that the immortal magic was equivalent to the combat power of one hundred thousand Qi family troops, and they were a little relieved. However, Wang Jiayan, the Minister of War, suddenly poured cold water on everyone.
As Minister of War, Wang Jiayan naturally wanted to check the construction status of the new city. He had already known the relevant drawings well, but he did not have much confidence in such a large defense area.
Because the primary task of defending the capital city was previously shared by the Yongwei camp and the Jingying camp. Now most of the Yongwei camp was taken to the Southern Capital by His Majesty, while the Jingying camp was wiped out during the rebellion and was not rebuilt afterwards.
The new army that His Highness the Prince has vigorously built is quite large, but it seems that it has not fought a battle yet, and its actual combat strength is completely unknown. Whether it can be relied on is questionable.
There are 400,000 crenels, guarded by 100,000 people, and each person must be divided into four places, which is a distance of nearly one foot.
This is a war, not a joke, and the ones attacking the city outside are the murderous Donglu!
"Wang Aiqing does not need to worry. I believe that, firstly, the defenders have been equipped with a large number of city defense equipment, including sharp weapons such as grenades and kerosene barrels, and mortars can provide effective support. Secondly, they can temporarily indicate a large number of young people. , assist in defending the city, and receive the same treatment as the defenders to make up for the lack of defenders. Thirdly, the capital city is wider and can be used for horses to gallop. The cavalry can patrol back and forth at the city head. If there is an emergency somewhere, a signal flare can be fired to get rapid response. Rush for reinforcements. Fourthly, although the Donglu troops are more powerful than the Wang Division, just because the capital is so large, the Donglu will not launch a siege on the capital from all four sides. They must concentrate their forces to attack one or a few walls. If it is the entire city The result of a fierce attack will be defeat on all fronts. This is a taboo for military strategists, and Huang Taiji will not understand. Fifth, if it is a crisis, you can give up the positions before the new city and the old city and stick to the two cities. Even if If the central city is lost, the old and new cities can still be the horns of each other and can continue to defend. Sixthly, if the Donglu do not come to attack the city, the immortal magic of this palace will not be used. Dear friends, please do not reveal such secrets. !”
How did you say that?
oh! right!
If you are a man, just face it!
Everyone looks down on you!
When you come to attack the city, it's too late for me to be happy. How can I be afraid?
Even if the new city can't be defended, isn't there still the old city?
I don't believe that you can conquer such a huge capital city in just one month. Your ability is comparable to that of Magister Liu Xiu!
If there was a spy with braids in the hall, these words would definitely reach the ears of Huang Taiji.
At that time, he would be unable to get out of the tiger's way, so he sent troops to attack the city, but the magical magic turned out to be real...
The poison grenades given to the Japanese army are nothing compared to the magic.
If I don't let it go, I will use it. If I do, it will be a big move that can KO the braid!
Not to mention pigtails, even if Temujin is the one coming to attack the city, we will still KO his menggu livestock army!
With this move, it would have been impossible for armies before the 18th century to stop it because they didn’t know the antidote!
Even if the antidote is known after the fact, it is too late. Once it becomes important, survival depends entirely on luck.
Aren’t braids said to be invincible?
Then let's fight with real swords and guns to see whose life is tougher!
Even if it reaches 200,000, 300,000, or even 500,000, I will still defeat you!
I can also make you feel worse than death...
I can’t say any more. If I continue, some people will either think that we are talking big words or that we are preparing to take off!
"..."
Wang Jiayan no longer knew how to respond. He was stunned for a moment, but in the end he did not choose to confront the prince.
From the tone of His Highness the Crown Prince, he is eager for Donglu to come to attack the city, which is a bit...
Wang Jiayan also understood that the prince relied on the magic of defeating enemies.
It is understandable that His Highness the Crown Prince does not want to speak directly because the secret cannot be leaked.
Is it really so effective?
In case it doesn’t work…
No one dared to question His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s Immortal Magic in public, because no one knew what the Immortal Magic was.
Leaking it out is a capital offense, and questioning the immortality is a crime of disrespect.
Immortal magic was taught to His Highness the Prince by the Immortal Military Advisor Liu Bowen at the behest of Taizu Emperor Gao.
To question the magic of immortality is to question Liu Bowen, or even to question Taizu Emperor Gao. Who can bear this crime?
Emperor Taizu Gao taught the airship technology to His Highness the Crown Prince. This is something that everyone knows and has been proven.
It is reasonable to think that when doting on this little prince, he should teach him some more powerful immortal skills.
Normal people will think this way, and those who don’t think so are not normal people.
Back then, Prince Gao and Emperor passed the throne directly to his eldest grandson. Now, isn't it normal to take care of his eldest grandson who is still alive?
There are only three possibilities. The first one is that the immortal magic is as sharp as His Highness the Crown Prince said, and the Donglu were beaten to the point of death, and they had to withdraw their troops and retreat.
The second type, the immortal method is not very powerful, but with the stubborn resistance of the defenders, it can also contain the Donglu's offensive. The two sides are in a stalemate and can only fight across the wall for a long time.
The third type is that the immortal magic is completely ineffective, and the defenders have to fight hard to support themselves. The capital is in danger, and they are forced to rely on King Qin's army to come to rescue.
"Your Highness, I have inspected the villages and towns around the capital before. In accordance with His Highness's order, holes have been dug everywhere to prepare for emergencies. I am only worried that if the Donglu copy this method, how will the defenders respond?"
Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Jizhen, was worried that the Donglu could not attack for a long time, so he had to dig a hole in the ground to enter the city. By then, the defenders would be unable to defend themselves.
"I have sent people to order a large number of water tanks before. In recent days, they have half-buried the tanks underground near the inner side of the city root, and then sent people to monitor the whole day. By then, as long as they hear the sound of digging, it will mean that Donglu The underground cave is about to extend into the city. We can deploy troops and horses here to notify the people in the city to provide early warning and ambush the Donglu who rush to the ground."
If you play this trick with me, braids are too outdated. I learned this trick from Uncle Liu.
high!
It’s really high!
"...Your Highness is wise!"
Yan Yingyuan never dreamed that this method could be used to monitor digging holes. After thinking for a moment, he felt that what the Crown Prince said was quite reasonable and he was really brilliant.
"That's right! I will ask the factory of the Academy of Sciences to make more blowers. When I find Donglu's cave, I will fill it with smoke. Hehe..."
Aren't you quite moles?
I'll just play you to death!
In terms of immorality, I think I have never been afraid of anyone!
"...Your Highness is wise!"
After hearing these remarks, Yan Yingyuan's expression was almost exactly the same as that of Wang Jiayan just now.
This is really one thing that brings down another thing!
They all say that Donglu is extremely terrifying, but they had never met His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise they would have been made worse than dead!
If you pour smoke into a cave, can the Donglu inside still survive?
They will all be choked to death!
But it’s okay, Donglu came to attack the city, and he deserved to die!
"...Your Highness is wise!"
Xue Guoguan also started patting the horses, but he couldn't think of such a method.
"As a last resort, try not to flood the city, otherwise it will cause the cave to collapse and endanger the safety of the city wall. Generally speaking, the siege caves will not have the same branches as the defensive caves, and they will choose the shortest path to dig into the city. In this way, It is convenient for the defenders to pour smoke into it. And the defensive caves around the capital have such precautions, and there are many vents, so they are not afraid of Donglu pouring smoke into them."
This autumn's somatosensory game involves a certain prince and millions of soldiers from the capital doing braiding, which can be done on the ground or underground.
Huang Taiji wants his thugs to sneak into the capital, so let's send 1,800 sacrifices first!
Maybe 1,800 won't work at all, but at least 3,000 to 5,000 will do.
"That's right! As long as the people in the city capture and kill the Donglu lurking in the city or coming out of the cave, they will be rewarded after verifying their identity. The reward for capturing a Donglu is two hundred taels, the number is not limited, the more the better. All cash will be given out. If you get it, if any official dares to deduct it, he will be punished as a crime of collaborating with the enemy, and Yan Aiqing will be responsible for the matter."
As the governor of Ji Town, you can't leave the city during the war. You can just manage this aspect when you have nothing to do, so as not to feel like you have no way to serve the country.
I believe that after the general public knows that they have a chance to win a huge prize, there will be a craze in the city for beating gongs and drums and grabbing pigtails, which will not subside for a long time...
"Your Highness, if the King's Division shrinks its defense area and defends the capital, will it be necessary to send troops to the surrounding areas of Changping, Yanqing, and even Tongzhou?"
Wang Jiayan thought of another problem. The number of defenders in the capital was not enough. If the troops were to be divided, it would be dangerous.
"All the cities around the capital have been abandoned, and all the defenders and people in the city have moved to the new city and the middle city. The defenders on the Great Wall defense line must also withdraw to the capital in time. They can first help the people harvest crops, and then bring the people and livestock along the line to the capital. On the way. If there is any loss of livestock, the court will provide full compensation. The policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country must be implemented to the end, leaving no trace to the Donglu! People who are unwilling to leave their homes must be placed in caves to prevent them from being plundered by the Donglu Come to attack the city. The defenders' artillery fire is merciless. Anyone who comes to attack the city will be killed regardless of their identity! After the Tongzhou defenders retreated, the water transportation immediately stopped, and all the ships that had arrived turned south and sailed to the Jining area as soon as possible. You can park first In the lakes near Jining to prevent being plundered by the Donglu, I estimate that the Donglu horse soldiers will reach as far as Xuzhou. The Tongzhou defenders helped the fleet unload food within ten days, and then immediately retreated to the new city for defense. "
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
Especially in a huddled defense, food and livestock are the lives of the defenders.
Without this food, there is no life!
I let you get nothing, forcing you to come to me.
If you don't come, you will have to send people to rob further places, or you will have to attack the capital.
Who is the invincible in the world will be revealed after this fight!
After the expansion of the capital, the current area was almost three times its original size. In particular, city walls were built at the north and south ends of the open space between the new city and the old city.
This expanded the area of the capital to an unprecedented scale, and the middle city and new city formed by the open space were enough to accommodate 100,000 defenders and millions of people.
Because he really felt that the land was a waste, a certain prince sent people to graze livestock in the open land, including cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese.
Even Ouchi has become self-sufficient, growing vegetables and raising poultry and livestock. At least the ingredients required for the royal family's meals no longer need to be purchased from the market.
A certain prince wants to turn the capital into an enlarged version of the fishing city. There are no cliffs here, but with a city wall over ten meters high, it can be defended for a long time.
