Xun Yu, Yuan Huan and Tian Feng didn't have any good ideas. It would be okay if they were asked to formulate a grand strategy. This kind of soldier selection and training using unheard-of new weapons were really unfamiliar to them and they didn't want to talk about it.
Nonsense.
Cui Yi scratched his head. To be honest, he didn't know how to choose soldiers who would use artillery to fight. But he had no worries and said whatever came to his mind: "Your Majesty, I heard you say that literacy should start from childhood.
I feel that this artillery must be started from a baby. My son Cui Qi is willing to be sent to the Shenji Camp and start as a pawn."
This was a good suggestion. Liu Xiang suddenly opened his mind after being reminded by him.
If you don’t know how long it will take to develop combat effectiveness, then recruit some young men and learn and practice as you go.
If you don’t know what kind of soldiers to recruit, then don’t recruit them for the time being and train the officers first. Treat the Shenji Camp as a half-academy and half-army establishment to cultivate talents who can operate thermal weapons. Once new weapons are promoted in the future, these officers will
It's the seed.
He said excitedly: "Zi'an's method is good, it solves my worries! Zhao Jing is testing cannons recently, let the kid Cui Qi follow him and learn hard."
Then he thought of Zhuge Liang and Lu Yu, who were good friends with Cui Qi.
Mr. Kong Ming has always been known for his prudence and is very suitable for the artillery. Lu Yu also has a stable temperament, so let's send him in as well.
Thinking of this, he said: "The two children Zhuge Liang and Lu Yu are also recruited into the Shenji Camp. Zian, and then recruit some children from the Yulin Army. They must be twelve to sixteen years old, smart and literate, and it is best to be able to read."
Some mathematicians, the number of personnel is tentatively determined to be fifty. It is up to you to handle this matter. Don't talk about the firearms, just talk about the new Shenji Camp."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly!" Cui Yi slapped his chest loudly.
"Your Majesty, my son Dianman is also willing to be sent to the Shenji Camp." Dian Wei, who was accompanying him, felt that it would be a good thing to enter the Shenji Camp. He changed his style of not participating in political affairs and fought for a place for his son to advance.
"Okay, send them to study together. I will send a famous teacher who is proficient in arithmetic to teach these children." Liu Xiang smiled, he was still willing to open this convenient door. Dian Wei is the lieutenant general of the Yulin Army, he
Being willing to send your son to the Shenji Camp can also play a leading role.
You know, the children in Sergeant Yulin's family are very ambitious, and the newly formed Shenji Battalion may not be able to impress them.
I just don’t know if Xiao Dianman, a tough-minded person, can stand the boring study.
If you want to use artillery well, you must learn mathematics. What's more, the first batch of children are trained as officers, so the requirements are naturally higher.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dian Wei offered his thanks on horseback, but his eyes suddenly glanced into the distance.
Two horses appeared on the horizon ahead, galloping over the thick grass.
The accompanying knights retracted their formation, guarding Liu Xiang and others in the formation, and a group of cavalrymen came forward to meet them.
No one thought it would be an assassination, but the precautions should be taken. No matter who it was, we should at least stop him within a stone's throw.
The person who came was the Jin Yiwei who reported the victory. The military post delivering the victory in Jiaozhou had collapsed in Weiyang Palace. Jia Xu did not dare to open the seal for inspection and was afraid of delaying the military situation, so he sent someone to deliver the message to Taiyi Palace.
I met him halfway.
"Your Majesty, good news for Jiaozhou!" Dian Wei checked it and found no problems before passing it to Liu Xiang.
After opening the seal, there was a report of victory from Taishi Ci. The main fleet of the Yunfan camp had raided Panyu from the sea. The soldiers and soldiers returning to the rescue were blocked outside the city by the navy soldiers. The warships sailed up the Yushui River and were defeated.
After receiving Shi Xie's fleet, letters announcing the arrival of reinforcements were also shot into Guangxin City.
"The battle in Jiaozhou has come to an end." Liu Xiang handed the victory report to Xun Yu, deducing the situation of the Guangxin battle in his mind.
In fact, Taishi Ci was not the first reinforcement to arrive, Xu Huang was.
Of the three reinforcements, only Le Jin did not arrive.
There is no way around this. There is a Jiulian Mountain between the upper reaches of the Gan River and Nanhai County in Jiaozhou. Lejin's troops need to go around the mountain and walk hundreds of miles overland to attack Longchuan County and then follow the Dongjiang River to Panyu.
, the journey is the most bumpy.
Liu Xiang didn't know whether he could make it in time this way, but he believed
It is certain that Shi Xie's so-called 100,000-strong army is definitely no match for the front army, right army and Yunfan Camp's main fleet.
Even if there are only more than 10,000 naval soldiers, even if the total number of soldiers of the three armies is only 30,000.
But those were 30,000 elite soldiers all wearing armor. How could a 100,000-strong mob defeat them?
This problem is also bothering Shi Xie.
Even if he didn't know that the 10,000 soldiers of the Right Army were on the upper reaches of the Li River and could flow down the river at any time, the naval force coming from the sea scared him to death.
The South China Sea route of the Han Dynasty was from the Yangtze River to the Xiang River, then to the Lishui River, to Cangwu County, to the Yushui River (Pearl River), through Panyu County of Nanhai County (Guangzhou) to Xuwen County of Hepu County (Xuwen County of Zhanjiang City), and then through
Zhansai, Rinan County (today's Lingjiang Estuary, Hue, Vietnam), traveled through Southeast Asia to India.
Taishi Ci's direct attack on Panyu from the sea really exceeded Shi Xie's expectations. He did not expect that the imperial navy could come from the east sea, which was abnormal.
For normal people, who can take the windy sea route if they can take the inland river?
"Since the Yanxi period, shipping in the South China Sea has been cut off. I didn't expect that His Majesty is so courageous now and built a big ship to come from the sea. He was caught off guard." Shi Xie was very distressed. If Panyu was lost, he would lose supplies along the way.
These days, he has been trying to recapture the city, but has been unable to break through the city gates.
The enemy's crossbows seemed to be free of charge, almost every man had one, more than those guarding Guangxin along the way. There were also two hundred large and small warships on the water, and several water battles caused him heavy losses.
It's normal for his own navy to be unable to defeat him. The imperial court's small boat is about the same size as his large ship. It's difficult for more than a hundred small boats to deal with it. Those hundreds of large ships are not only fast, but they can also shoot rockets. Whenever one's own ship is discovered, it must be a ship.
The ending is so devastating that you can't even run away.
The city of Panyu cannot be captured, the Yushui channel is also lost, and the supply of a hundred thousand troops is about to be cut off.
I failed, what should I do?
He kept sighing.
The soldier felt guilty and apologized again: "I blame my carelessness for not leaving a garrison in Panyu. When the enemy attacked me, I had no power to fight back. I lost the city. This is a great crime. Please punish me severely, brother!"
For several days, he had been pleading guilty and felt extremely guilty. Several brothers gathered together to recapture Guangxin, the second largest city in Jiaozhou, but because of his carelessness, Panyu, the largest city, was lost in the blink of an eye.
He regretted so much that his heart was broken!
But everyone knew that it was not his fault. The order was given by the eldest brother. He just carried out the order too thoroughly and brought too many people to Guangxin to participate in the war.
"It's not your fault, don't mention it again in the future." Shi Xie would not blame his mistakes on his younger brother. Just like Guang Xin was unable to defeat him, it was also because he took care of his parents and tribesmen who were tied up in the city and did not dare to go around.
Attack with all your strength, attack with all your strength.
This is all his fault.
"The defeat in this battle is all my brother's fault. Now that the situation is fully depleted, Guangxin and Panyu have been lost. Before the army is defeated, I intend to surrender. What do you think of my brothers?"
