When Yu Zai heard Chong Li's analysis report on the local geographical conditions, she said "Okay" on the spot!
With so many large currents and swamps, it’s no wonder that the Gonggong clan stood so far away from the Gonggong Mountains and built some barrier lakes. After digging them out, they would immediately trigger a huge flood. When this wave washed down, all these swamps were An accomplice!
If it were four thousand years later, there would be a swamp here, Lop Nur would have been dried up, and the Yellow River would have almost stopped flowing.
It's different now... This huge swamp river spreads for at least five hundred miles.
Gonggong himself is the God of Water. If he jumps into so many swamps, there is no need to attack, because no matter how he fights, he will lose. Unless Yuzai can now come up with long-distance missiles or atomic bombs, give him a nuclear blast. Flat out.
All the leaders believed that there was no turning back when they fired their bows at this time, and the battle preparations were all planned. If they did not attack the Gonggong headquarters, the other side would already be prepared next time.
"Our offensive situation has been discovered by Gonggong. Now, while Gonggong is away, it is actually the best way for us to attack his headquarters. The danger is that we don't know whether the Gonggong Union is hiding on any hilltop. Barrier lake.”
You really can't find things like barrier lakes hidden in ravines. People are still too small compared to the mountains. Gonggong is a veteran at building dams. The location he built must be good for combat and defense. Compared with Yu Zai, Gong Gong, an ancient geographer, did not have as much geographical knowledge as Yu Zai in favorable areas, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm local snakes. In these five hundred miles of water and mountains, Gong Gong is better than Yu Zai. Zai is much more familiar.
But Xiangyao is also a fierce totem of the water attribute. He can also produce floods, and the floods produced by the Xiangliu Totem are also corrosive. Although they are not as good as the Xiangliu monster in the Snowy Mountains, they are still extremely difficult to deal with.
At this time, Yuzai spoke, feeling inappropriate:
"No, we can't chase them. We can easily be held back by them. Think about it for yourself. Gonggong can escape from under our noses to the mountains across the river. When we attack Gonggong's headquarters, what will happen to you? Can we guarantee that Gonggong will not come back with others and raid our stronghold?"
Yu Zai said that if we attack rashly now, we will probably be bypassed by Gonggong, and then we will become two loaves of cheese...
The reason why the battle must be fought one stronghold after another is to prevent this situation. Otherwise, if you rush too far, the logistics supplies and rear defense behind you may be intercepted at any time.
Yu Zai issued an order: everyone should stand still and change the direction of production!
"There is no need to produce cavalry harnesses. They are not used as the main fighting force in the first place. Now that we have assumed a passage with the Inufeng Kingdom area, those scouts with good harnesses will be sent out in teams of five. Set up a team leader to conduct an all-round observation along the river!"
"Let the remaining soldiers build simple postal stations at various road communication points, carry out intelligence transmission and replace horses and dry food, and then send some soldiers to guard the dog seal country's passage. We have captured the Shushi Kingdom and destroyed it. By losing the Shijun Kingdom, we no longer have to worry about Gonggong's long-distance attack on our rear area."
"And we destroyed a lot of his fields. It's already early spring. Without the fields and grain, spring plowing cannot be carried out, and grain reserves are in short supply. Gonggong has three options at this time."
"First, block everything and attack the Mother Kingdom of the Western Queen!"
"Second, ask Emperor Hong to borrow food and grass from the Kunlun Tribe to continue the war, but I don't think Gonggong would choose this. The Kunlun Tribe is famous for going back on its word. Once Gonggong borrows food, it will be equivalent to putting himself at risk. If my life is left to the Kunlun Tribunal, how can the Kunlun Tribunal not kill Gonggong to pieces?"
"Third, he will retreat, and all tribes will retreat back to Gonggong Mountain!"
"I choose the third option. You all should be optimistic about it. It must be like this!"
Yuzai made an analysis for everyone, and then informed everyone of the changes in production direction:
"From now on, all materials transported from the Weishui River area will be escorted all the way to Shushi Kingdom. All processing plants here will be transformed to produce yellow gunpowder!"
"Urge the steel mills in the Central Plains to send steel. Not steel weapons, but steel bars and pipes! I want them all, as well as leather and sturdy vehicles!"
Yuzai said confidently: "Gonggong is retreating. If there is no food, even if he has hoarded food in the past few years, it is not enough now. It is just enough for planting and eating. It will be impossible to continue fighting, so we will at least have until the autumn harvest." period of buffering period.”
"In the past six months, we will start to keep an eye on Gonggong's movements. When the time is right, we will send troops and defeat the enemy in one battle."
Some people are curious: "Is it possible to mass-produce explosives and then release them in hot-air balloons? But didn't you say that hot-air balloons depend on the wind direction? Are they going to attack when the east wind blows in the Western Wilderness?"
Yuzai smiled and said: "So, I want to make something that can attack fiercely without relying on wind power!"
Regarding the technology tree of gunpowder weapons, it’s time to continue lighting it up!
Of course, it is unrealistic to process firearms. Hongzhou has not even processed breech-loading guns, only front-loading weapons, let alone Zhongyuan. What Yu Zai wants to do is something more powerful than a flying thunder cannon.
Of course it's not a machine gun. Machine guns require too high precision for lathes. Where did the high-end lathes come from on the front line here? It's too troublesome to transport them. The north still has high-end lathes imported from the south before it can start factory production. This thing must be first-class. Only at a higher level.
What Yu Zai wants to do now does not require too precise production techniques. This kind of weapon is a "bazooka"!
The oldest Congreve rocket launcher has a range of 600 meters and a maximum range of 1,800 meters! Easy to assemble!
The predecessor of this weapon was the "Shenji Rocket" of the Song Dynasty. After being introduced to India, it was improved and used. Later, the technology was taken away by the British... If you don't understand clearly, then just explain it directly. Just use the "Shenhuo Flying Crow" from the North Korea.
Of course, the power of the rocket launcher is infinitely greater than that of the Divine Fire Flying Crow. Moreover, the rocket launcher that Yu Zai was planning to spend half a year building, although it was named a rocket launcher...
Rocket Launcher - Special Edition of Ancient Youth.
Franchisee: Azai.
Steel rods plus ammunition, simple and durable;
No need to be accurate, just say yes to washing the floor!
Cherish this wonderful time, and when the flames rise on the earth, please feel the great power of civilization!
You have your strategic location and tactics, and I have my production hammer. When you huddled up to study bronze, I had already thought of how to kill you without seeing you.
Yu Zai told everyone that this is a weapon that requires a lot of steel-making methods and yellow gunpowder assembly to produce. It has a long range and is much easier to use than bows and arrows, but its accuracy is not good. However, there are many communist workers and they can explode randomly. That's it, it's equivalent to a super flying thunder cannon.
Therefore, there has been no way to carry out production before, and after the war in the south, there was no need to engage in this thing. Now that we have come to the north, you have more people and strength in the Central Plains, so you have to rush to make steel and iron.
All the population is invested in productivity!
Of course, there are also disadvantages. The things produced in half a year are probably only enough for one war, so we can't make detours with Gonggong. Yu Zai said that he already has a solution for this, and now he will write a letter to Gonggong...
At this time, among the leaders present, an idea suddenly popped into Hongchao's head.
If this kind of weapon is really developed, and then let Azai operate it...
Then wouldn't the technique of shooting indiscriminately become more dangerous? !
