Li Jing also knew that Li Er knew him well and was very convinced of Li Er - then again, few warriors in China actually had the courage to say, "Your Majesty's military level is just that."
Yes, even if the court does not punish him, no one will say so, because if he does, he will only bring humiliation to himself.
To put it more bluntly, Li Jing knew that Li Er was not an ordinary emperor, but a real military man. And since the hot time of the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Romans had passed, it seemed a bit intriguing to send weapons at this time.
If he had just crossed the Alps and arrived at the hinterland of the European continent in the west, Li Jing would not be surprised if the imperial court sent weapons at this time, because the most dangerous moment is when the foothold is not stable, and the advantage will snowball from then on.
, it’s still a dream. It just depends on this short period of time. If the DPRK and China really do not hesitate to pay a huge price, they will cross the mountains of the Pamir Plateau, then pass through the frozen soil around the Anxi military town, and then cross the mountains at the northern foot of the Alps.
Even with frozen soil and heavy snow.
Then I won't be surprised, because the Tang Dynasty, like the Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty, would do such things.
However, this was already past that point, and the Romans did not organize a decent counterattack after their defeat - this made Li Jing somewhat look down on these Romans, and slightly lowered his assessment of the level of the Romans.
Although he was transferred back recently - at this time, the imperial court suddenly transported weapons.
There is no shortage of swords here. It has only been a few months, and the wear and tear on swords and armor is not that great.
There are not many bows and crossbows in use, and the inventory is still sufficient - how could the imperial court not even know how many crossbows and arrows the army outside has? It cannot send over bows and crossbows on a whim, not to mention that although the craftsmen in the army are not as good as those in Lingzhou
, professors in those places in Hangzhou can still make some bows and arrows, even today's Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty.
The craftsmen who accompany the army can make the standard killer weapon of the God's Arm Bow even when they are marching outside, as long as they carry a small amount of key materials such as beef tendons. Then again, they can find iron on the spot regardless of quality.
Making some swords out of mines is something that the craftsmen accompanying the army can do.
Then this, this problem comes.
The craftsmen who accompany the army can make all kinds of things, and there is no big loss. There is no need to spend money to replenish them, and the winter clothes and food have been in place for a long time. The food and winter clothes stocks from Anxi Military Town are basically enough.
It was used, not to mention that the court issued it again a long time ago.
So what exactly did this get here?
Although there are various possibilities, Li Jing is also an elite member of the Forbidden Army. He is the most powerful professional soldier in the Tang Dynasty. His mind turns very quickly on military issues - all possibilities are eliminated in an instant.
, so my heart became more and more curious, and more and more.
Feeling excited.
Could it be that the imperial court knew that fighting here would be difficult and sent artillery?
If this is true, then Li Jing feels that he cannot be justified if he doesn't get excited - because this means that the imperial court has decided to change its thinking, give up the plan of cannibalization, and directly penetrate Rome!
But then again, Li Jing is also a veteran of his age. He is not the hot-blooded young man of the past. When the Sui Dynasty was still around, he was reading military books every day and making friends with relevant people everywhere. You know, although it sounds good to talk about it
, and it is really tempting, but this matter has been discussed between the DPRK and China before. A direct attack will give other forces a chance to rise.
You must know that the Arab Empire has not yet collapsed!
Persia has also been very prosperous recently. It is said that its country has also started making gunpowder and making attempts to create chemical fertilizers. No one can say whether it will succeed or fail, but it must be done carefully to ensure that it is as sustainable as possible.
There will be no additional variables and risks in the overall process of strategy for the world, and this principle will not change.
Wouldn't it cost a lot of money and food to suddenly send so many artillery pieces?
Looking at the vast number of carriages, the wheels of each one were somewhat sunk into the frozen mud, basically about a few inches.
If these were all artillery, then there would be no problem in penetrating Rome by myself. But in the next step, wouldn’t Datang’s treasury be empty for a long time?
The treasury is empty and the army has just experienced a hard battle. Although the morale will be very high and the hearts of the people can be used, if the Arab Empire suddenly launches an attack at this time and takes over all the grain-producing areas in northern Africa, then the Tang Dynasty will not be able to do anything about it.
,
This is equivalent to killing a tiger and having a pack of wolves pop out from behind. I'm afraid no hunter in the world would do such a thing to lose money!
In this case, Li Jing couldn't help but frown.
The attack on Rome was, on the one hand, to destroy this distant and powerful enemy, and on the other hand, was it not to plot against the Romans' grain-producing areas in northern Africa? Those places were the key.
After capturing the sacred land in northern Africa, Shenzhou can truly garrison a large-scale army on the other side of the World Island - considering the strong strength of the Romans, it is even possible that the size of the troops in Datang, an overseas super military town
Reaching more than one million - wouldn't this be a big deal!
But if that place is eaten by Arabs, it will be terrible. Anyway, Li Jing has already investigated this group of people. Compared with Rome, they are quite similar to the Han people in China. This group of people is completely
They are a bunch of barbarians. They don’t say anything when fighting, and they are all brave and fearless of death. What will happen if such a group of people controls the large grain-producing area in northern Africa? That’s it!
Thinking like this, Li Jing even couldn't help but feel worried.
However, Li Jing's expression changed from puzzled to surprised, and from surprised to solemn, worried, and it changed in an instant. Most people naturally didn't realize how serious it was, and only thought that the boss was awesome, but Duan Lun was also a member of Li Er's inner court after all.
He was also a confidant of the Tang Dynasty - so in the same instant, Duan Lun understood what Li Jing was worried about, and then showed a strange smile. Then, he looked at Li Jing and said, "Why is Duke Wei so worried?"
?The imperial court has sent something, and the people who defend the country should serve with all their heart. Why are you so worried?"
"Is it possible that the first tiger minister of Duke Wei became timid when facing a powerful enemy today?"
Duan Lun said this with such a playful smile and knowingly asked, but then he saw Li Jing's face turn down, "Isn't it a bit rude what Duke Ji Guo said?"
