Jiu Shan City, the bombed palace of King Wu.
Wu Zihui was furious, and the officials could only endure it. It was not until the masked man strode in that Wu Zihui calmed down a little.
"Master, what should we do?"
The masked man was also quite embarrassed. After all, who would have thought that Qin Yun could have such a skill.
However, as soon as he stood there, a chilling air filled the whole place.
Wherever he looked, everyone bowed their heads.
The masked man snorted coldly: "Why, this little blow has scared you off?"
Then he glanced at Wu Zihui: "King Wu, if this is the case, you might as well go back!"
Wu Zihui's face darkened, retreat?
Are you kidding me? They finally managed to unify Dongjun and accomplish a great feat that none of the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom could achieve. Now if they are asked to retreat, where can they retreat to?
He Wu Zihui is crazy, but not a fool!
In the spring of next year, when the Yuesui River thaws, relying on Qin Yun's water advantage, it would be nothing more than a dream to send supplies to the Wu army!
And the current domestic situation no longer allows him to retreat. After all, the rebellion brought about by annexing various countries forces him to only move forward, not retreat!
Otherwise, those who surrendered from the countries in Dongjun would think how weak the Wu State was, even if they could not take down the Yue State.
At that time, if external forces stimulate it, the territory Wu Guogang has just conquered may become difficult to appease.
Wu Zihui then straightened his body, glanced across the audience, and said with full force: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. It is just a defeat. Do you really think that I am afraid of this king?"
"I still have an army of 600,000 men. What does Qin Yun have? They are just a group of defeated soldiers from the Yue Kingdom. I will not retreat!"
The masked man sneered: "Since the King of Wu knows it, why bother to boost other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"
"That giant floating thing seems unsolvable, but in fact it has its limitations."
"It's impossible to travel when it's dark, and it's easy to hit the mountain; it's impossible to travel when the wind is strong, and it's easy to lose direction; and all he can do is throw some cannonballs, which are not very fast. As long as we do a good job of prevention and warning, This will give you early warning to avoid potholes.”
"The most important thing is that the opponent has no war horses, and the Wu State now has 300,000 cavalry. Once the pass is successfully blocked and the enemy is overwhelmed by the superior force, what can the Yue State do to resist?"
Wu Zihui said: "Yes, the grand master is right. When marching and fighting, victory depends on the general situation, rather than an overnight defeat. Send my king's order, entangle the army, and organize the detention the next day."
"I would like to see if it is Qin Yun who has more cannonballs or my army of soldiers!"
"Also, put all the cannons of Wu State in front of you and flatten Eagle Ridge for me!"
"Send orders to Wu Qi to launch a surprise attack from the direction of Longxukou, using fatigue tactics to defeat the enemy!"
"promise!"
The masked man smiled: "The King of Wu is courageous. I Ting Yulou is willing to donate another hundred cannons, ten sets of large siege equipment, and an undead army of 10,000 people to help the King of Wu seize the Yue Kingdom."
Wu Zihui was overjoyed: "Thank you, Grand Master!"
…
At Eagle Ridge, Qin Yun was taking command, and battlefield intelligence came in like snowflakes.
"Report! Beiyin Fortress is in emergency, requesting artillery support. The enemy has been attacking the city in turns for twelve hours. Our army has suffered huge losses. Many soldiers have not slept for several days."
"Report, there is an emergency at Longxukou. Wu Qi, the marshal of the Wu clan, led an army of 100,000 to block the pass. The Qiongzhou Division is resisting with difficulty. General Bai is asking for heavy fire support!"
"Reported that the Qiongzhou encountered a Wu ship in the East China Sea, and a naval battle broke out. The Qiongzhou defeated the enemy ship with one enemy and six, but was hit by a grenade in the power compartment. It has now returned to Hong Kong for overhaul."
Qin Yun frowned: "Send an order to Qiongzhou to send the battleship Jiuzhou to replace the patrol of Qiongzhou, and also withdraw the Tiangong to protect the port security."
"promise!"
The Jiuzhou is the fourth ironclad ship in Qiongzhou. The ship uses the latest generation of steam turbines with more power. It is also equipped with a hot-air balloon deck that can take off hot-air balloons, and then use the hot-air balloons to release the flying eagles of Zhushenshan Villa. Achieve the advantage of aerial reconnaissance.
It can be regarded as a small tactical aircraft carrier in this era, but hot air balloons are troublesome to recover at sea, and airships cannot be of corresponding size.
Therefore, it is generally not allowed to fly unless absolutely necessary.
But compared to the first three ordinary warships, the Kyushu has the ability to strike beyond visual range. According to Lu Ban, he designed a lightweight machine gun and installed it on the machine flying eagle.
So now the Mechanical Flying Eagle also has air combat capabilities, but because it only glides, the Mechanical Flying Eagle's combat radius is not large.
However, it is enough to crush the armies of this era, and it can also make up for the shortcomings of airships such as large targets, slow speed, and easy attack.
As for the situation on the three battlefields, Qin Yun could only deploy his troops as much as possible.
Qin Yun understood that such a war was ultimately about fighting for national strength, but neither Yue nor Ryukyu plus Qiongzhou could be Wu's opponent.
Today, their only advantage is their advanced equipment.
But the enemy is not a fool. If you have a machine gun, the other side has an armored shield array. Every time they attack, Tingyulou's undead legion will carry an inch-thick armor in front of them.
Ordinary firearms have no effect at all, and cannons can only be used to blast.
Qin Yun had been in Eagle Ridge for three days, but he had already consumed tens of thousands of artillery shells. Even if the arsenal behind him was smoking, he could not keep up with the consumption rate.
At this time, Chen Jinfeng rushed over in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the other party is entangled with a group of warriors and undead legions again. The team with the Grandmaster as the sharp knife tried to bypass the path, and was discovered by our Zhulong Camp soldiers, but our side suffered a lot this time!"
Qin Yun frowned. One hundred thousand versus six hundred thousand. The difference was not only the quantity, but also the quality of the high-end warriors.
For first-rate warriors and masters, their desperate intervention is impossible to resist given the current situation. Especially in this kind of mountainous field battle, the quality of Yue's individual soldiers was too poor.
Qin Yun muttered: "Shrink the formation, give up the main peak No. 1, let the artillery brigade clear the ground, and send airships to bomb the opponent's supply lines!"
"promise!"
After Chen Jin left, Qin Yun looked at the battle map on the ground and rubbed his head. The forces of both sides were currently scattered in the Beiyin Mountains.
If you want to break the situation, you must not just rely on defense, you must find a way to take the initiative.
Qin Yun selected a point on the map, Beiyin City. As long as Beiyin City is captured, the connection between Beiyin Fortress and Jiushan City can be blocked.
At that time, we can make dumplings against the Wu army on the other side of Beiyin Fortress.
After making up his mind, Qin Yun called the messenger.
"Call Wang Menghu to come see me."
"promise!"
Half a day later, Wang Menghu arrived in a hurry. Judging from his slightly tired face, the situation over there was probably not optimistic.
"How about it? Can Long Xukou still be able to withstand it now?"
Wang Menghu said: "Your Majesty, our side has suffered heavy losses. Although the Qiongzhou First Division is elite, the opponent has a hundred thousand people. They take turns attacking every day. Although General Bai also organized several counterattacks, he is still limited to Longxu." Mouth. If it weren't for the airships helping to deliver heavy weapons for support, I'm afraid this battle would have been impossible to fight!"
"The opponent's artillery fire is not weak either. The prince should not have given the firearm formula to the court!"
Qin Yun smiled bitterly. If he had known that there was a person like Qin Zheng, he would not have handed over the firearm formula. At worst, he would have turned against him in the first place.
"No more talking, it's all over!" Qin Yun shook his head.
"If you are asked to take over Beiyin City, what conditions do you think are needed?"
Wang Menghu muttered: "Strength, artillery fire!"
"anything else?"
Wang Menghu thought for a while: "The other thing is to prevent enemy reinforcements."
"Look, my lord, to the west is the Wu State's 200,000-strong army confronting Beiyin Fortress. About a hundred miles to the east is Beiyin City. Once Beiyin City is in danger of being breached, the enemy forces from Beiyin Fortress will definitely Don’t just sit there in silence, after all, Beiyin City is an important supply station for the enemy forces in Beiyin Fortress.”
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "If we hold back the enemies of Beiyin Fortress and attract part of Beiyin City's troops to Eagle Ridge, I will put all the heavy artillery and airships under the command of you and Bai Zhanpeng. Tell me how sure you are of winning Beiyin City!"
Wang Menghu's face paused: "As long as Wu Qi's 100,000 troops leave, Zhang Qi alone will never be able to defend us. The people who stole the door have penetrated into Beiyin City and can open the city gate at any time!"
Qin Yun's eyes lit up, Granny Jiang was really his lucky star.
"Okay, get ready now and wait for orders!"
"yes!"
Wang Menghu turned around and left. Before leading him away, he asked, "My lord, how are you going to lure Wu Qi away?"
Qin Yun: "General, draw the car!"
Wang Menghu paused. Although he had played chess taught by Qin Yun, he still couldn't understand it. However, when he looked at the circle drawn by Qin Yun with a red pen on the map, Wang Menghu suddenly understood.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are brilliant!"
Qin Yun stood with his hands behind his hands and glanced at him: "You old guy, are you already flirting with me? Go ahead. If you win this battle, I'll find Yingying to help you make peace!"
Wang Menghu's body trembled: "Seriously?"
Qin Yun smiled: "Then it depends on your performance. After all, Yingying is Granny Jiang's heartthrob now."
"I'll go right now! Damn it, if I had led the army back then, what would have happened to him, Ji Qing!"
Wang Menghu strode away.
Qin Yun smiled. If he had Ji Qing's 100,000 troops, he might have killed King Wu by now.
Of course, it is useless to think about it. The 100,000 troops are in the Western Region, how could they reach this East County.
wrong?
Qin Yun suddenly thought of something.
"Come here, please bring Princess Han over!"
"promise!"
Not long after, Han Jiangxue arrived in a hurry. Qin Yun took command of Eagle Ridge. Han Jiangxue and Li Daiyu, two martial arts masters, also volunteered to follow.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Qin Yun: "Can't I just miss you?"
Han Jiangxue rolled her eyes at Qin Yun: "Your Majesty, please stop joking. I guess Your Majesty asked me to ask my brother for help!"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "The one who knows me is Jiang Xue!"
Han Jiangxue frowned: "Although my brother has 30,000 armored cavalry, he has no ship to cross the sea. Secondly, they are the imperial army. How can my brother come to help at the risk of being held accountable by the imperial court? "
Qin Yun smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. You only need to take one person with you, and he will convince your brother."
"who?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Come here, please bring Taifu Liu in."
When Taifu Liu entered the camp, he didn't expect that Qin Yun would take him with him in the battle. He couldn't sleep well because of the heavy artillery fire these days.
"I pay my respects to the prince!"
"Taifu Liu, there is no need to be polite! How have you slept these days?"
Mr. Liu has a dark circle under his eye. Is it strange that he can be fine?
But Qin Yun couldn't let Qin Yun see that he was timid, so he could only reply vaguely: "Not bad!"
"Master, are you willing to leave?"
Taifu Liu's eyes lit up: "Where are you going?"
Qin Yun smiled and said, "Become a lobbyist. As long as you convince Han Weilong to send troops to help me and keep the court from saying anything, I will give you three cannons and five thousand muskets for free."
Taifu Liu looked at Qin Yun as if he were a fool. You are a fucking rebel now. You asked a general with a promising future to help you. Why don't you ask the Bai Army God to help you kill people?
"No, I think this place is very good and suitable for retiring!"
Qin Yun did not embarrass him: "Well, here, someone, put on Taifu Liu's armor and send him to position one."
Taifu Liu's heart skipped a beat and he secretly cursed Qin Yun for being shameless. He then raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I mean, although this place is suitable for retiring in old age, I still want to help you!"
"Really? What should we do if we can't bring in reinforcements?" Qin Yun said with a smile.
Taifu Liu: "That old man has no face to live in this world!"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "I didn't force you, Jiang Xue, you heard it, he said it himself."
Han Jiangxue suppressed her laughter, but the prince was still as bad as ever.
"Your Majesty, I'll go get ready right now."
Qin Yun: "The speed of sea and land is too slow. Let's go by airship. Tell Brother Han, help me this time. Let's take him by airship!"
Taifu Liu breathed a sigh of relief. No one would refuse this thing, right?
Otherwise, Qin Zhan would not refuse if he approached Qin Zhan directly, but then Taifu Liu shook his head, Qin Yun would definitely not give this thing to outsiders.
Han Jiangxue bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I'm gone!"
"Wait a moment!"
Qin Yun quickly stepped forward and hugged Han Jiangxue, who blushed prettyly.
"Your Majesty..."
Qin Yun said softly in his ear: "Come back safely, I'll give you a surprise!"
Han Jiangxue bit her thin lips, blushing and nodded.
"Hmm~"
