Two hundred steam cars, this is an exaggerated number.
What concept?
If it were the time to conquer Goguryeo, and these two hundred steam cars drove in front of the Goguryeo people, no matter how brave the Xianbei people were, they would definitely suffer a big loss. Not only would they lose in the field, but they would also defend the city and fortress, and they wanted to support each other.
, and you will also take great risks!
Before conquering Goguryeo, the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty implemented a strategy of encirclement and reinforcements, specifically to eat Goguryeo's reinforcements to reinforce Anshi City. The method used was landmines - that is, they were buried underground with mechanisms that would be triggered by stepping on them.
A kind of grenade.
This method immediately had a miraculous effect. As soon as the outcome of the war came out, Goguryeo was shocked.
But...if it were today, things might not be so ideal. After all, the Xianbei people today already know about landmines, and more importantly, are familiar with the existence of landmines-if they fight the same battle again, the Xianbei people will
I will instinctively be wary of whether those roads in the wild that look too easy to walk and are not very bumpy are safe.
To use landmines to produce unexpected effects, the strategy is much more complicated... To put it bluntly, the operating space becomes smaller, and there is even a possibility that the operation will be deformed, and the opponent will not be fooled, and the strategy will not be effective.
It's just that Goguryeo has now been leveled, and these Xianbei people cannot gather into an army and political power. They can no longer cause trouble and cannot survive.
Of course... the number of two hundred steam cars is just a random guess. Li Er himself also knows that the number of steam cars that can reach Anbei City is only fifty. What effect can this have...
It's totally hard to say.
Although the steam car assault would definitely be brutal, it was hard to say whether it could complete King Ran Tianwang's unfinished military miracle. Li Er felt uneasy, but as Wei Zheng said, he also knew that he was now... nothing special.
Things can be done, so we can only wait for the results.
Time advances bit by bit... Sitting in Chang'an City, whether it is Emperor Li Er, minister Wei Zheng and others, or generals such as Li Xiaogong who are currently in Chang'an, they are connected to the people on the streets and even the young scholars in the academy in the west of the city.
…
Everyone knew that there was going to be a war.
There is going to be a war. These are four magical words. People who often talk about world affairs often don't understand. Only the real people at the bottom understand. A strange and strange atmosphere floats in this city that has been stable and prosperous for several years.
The sky above the flowery city was misty yet extremely hot, burning like an invisible flame.
Not only the people at the bottom are worried, will they have to join the army and die in the bitter cold land in the north because of this war? But the young scholars in Chengxi Academy are also worried, with a needle in their mind at any time
——He is carrying a huge rock, because...the peace, stability, and knowledge he enjoys in the academy, his classmates...
I don’t know when it will turn into old dry food frozen hard in ice and snow, and nameless corpses frozen hard in ice and snow.
But...if we talk about the tension of the people of Chang'an, in the final analysis, there is still no real sense.
After all, Chang'an is the heartland of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is an emperor who guards the country - this is the gateway to the dragon vein in the northwest of China, but because it is backed by Shuzhong, it is generally rich and safe. Talking about the situation in the world...
Many discussions among the market are just discussions.
So, as time goes on...
The rumors that gradually spread in Chang'an have a different meaning. Although Li Er certainly would not spread the news, various actions of the imperial court were still combined and analyzed in one place by interested people among the people -
I am afraid of being serious in everything, especially in Chang'an, where there are so many people who have read... Once analyzed, the people in the city gradually began to spread the news that Cheng Yaojin was going to fight someone.
Although the people of the Tang Dynasty still admire Cheng Yaojin, the God of War, even though the portraits of the door gods posted on their doors are Qin Shubao and Yuchi Laomo, this is mainly because half of the people's homes have two doors.
There can't be so many people in one post. However, Cheng Yaojin's status is on the same level as Qin Qiong's, and regarding this matter... the people of the Tang Dynasty have a certain belief in the real possibility.
It's a bit of a weird mood.
On the one hand, ordinary people think that they are members of the Tang Dynasty, so the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty are of course invincible. With one attack this time, they can beat the Romans to a bloody pulp in minutes. On the other hand,
The common people resisted believing that the most powerful Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty, the strongest elites in the Forbidden Army... would make mistakes and do things that did not necessarily lead to victory.
Under this ambivalent mentality...there are street jokes like Cheng Yaojin is a heavenly soldier and a general descending to the earth, and everyone will just watch the show...
However, as time went on, another piece of news began to spread in Chang'an.
But this time, the news is news, no longer a joke that no one can explain clearly, no one can prove, and no one completely believes, but real and solid news.
In the Tang Dynasty, Duke Lu Guogong, Cheng Chumo, the son of the famous general Cheng Zhijie...
He actually escaped from the military camp with hundreds of soldiers overnight!
As soon as this news came out, the whole city of Chang'an was shocked - no one thought that the son of General Cheng Yaojin, who was famous for his bravery - especially for his personal bravery, would be so unbearable that he would actually run away from the battle.
thing!
The spread effect of this thing is simply no less than that of the war itself - even for the people of Chang'an, it is completely greater than the fact that the war is about to break out. After all, the degree of reversal... is simply too exciting, completely acute.
The steering is the same.
But of course, because of this matter...
Cheng Chumo's character changed directly from the good-natured and father-like Chang'an knight-errant to the shame of the Duke of Lu's palace overnight - not only the Duke of Lu's palace, but the shame of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Wouldn't it be a great shame to be frightened by the Romans and run away?
This news spread among the people, and the whole city of Chang'an was full of uproar. If the name Cheng Chumo was changed to something else, or even just the word "Cheng", not to mention the whole of Chang'an, the whole city would be affected in a matter of minutes.
Tang's railway system will be paralyzed - who knows how many Jianghu Rangers will angrily rush onto the train and swarm this place overnight. But...
That scene did not happen, but... Cheng Yaojin's aura became even more prominent...
