MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1067 How can you fail?

   Chapter 1067 How can I live up to it?

   Now, the Son of Heaven has pinned all his hopes on Tianlei, hoping that Tianlei will be able to complete the Jedi comeback.

In his opinion, the Southwest Army can win more with less, all the way from the southwest to the capital city, all relying on Tianlei, as long as the imperial court can also make Tianlei, even if it cannot be defeated in a short time, it can still be used Tianlei calmly defended the capital, and then produced Tianlei on a large scale to repel the southwestern rebels.

   After that, enter the southwest and wipe out these southwest rebels in one go.

   In fact, his idea is very problematic.

First of all, Li Xin was able to hit the capital from the southwest to the capital in a few months. Tianlei is only part of the reason. More importantly, the kind of thunder that can be used as artillery shells for catapults, and the use of firearms that the southwest has summarized over the years. .

And even if the imperial court really made Tianlei now, it is still too late. There are craftsmen in the southwest who specialize in making Tianlei, and some of them have been making it for more than ten years. The technology is mature, from Taikang Jiu Since the beginning of the year, Southwest has been slowly stockpiling Tianlei, and after all these years, the number of Southwest firearms has reached an astonishing number.

   This is also the reason why Mu Ying was able to bombard indiscriminately along the way.

Another is that the quality of gunpowder in the southwest is also better than that of the capital. Even if the capital rushes to work overnight, the amount of thunder that can be made in one or two months is limited. Besides, there are sharp weapons such as catapults, and it is difficult to stand on the city walls. Once the Southwest Army broke through the city gate and entered the capital, and the two sides were in close quarters, the imperial court would not have the exclusive throwing soldiers of the Southwest Army, and could not deal with firearms such as firearms. Overall, it still had a great disadvantage.

Now, for the Southwest Army, the question is not whether the imperial court has firearms, but how to break through the more than 200,000 forbidden troops stationed in Gyeonggi. You must know that this is the most elite central forbidden army in the Jin Dynasty. Ten thousand people, if they collide head-on without firearms, they may be swept away by the forbidden army. Even if the Southwest Army has firearms, they need to deal with it with all their strength.

   Sometimes the cold weapon army that is used to the extreme is much stronger than the army that is still in the primary hot weapon stage.

   This is also part of the reason that in another world, firearms were used on a large scale in the Song Dynasty, and bows and arrows were still used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

After    Li Xin was stationed in Luzhou, he began to exchange the Hanzhou army with the Ningzhou army. The Ningzhou army stationed in Gaocheng and the slowly advancing Luzhou city took over the work of the Hanzhou army.

   The Hanzhou army, who had been fighting for several months, was finally able to take a good rest. Li Xin personally ordered the collection of animals to be slaughtered in Luzhou, so that these soldiers had a good meal.

  Li Shuo led the Ningzhou army, some of which were camped outside the city, and the other was stationed in Luzhou, and took over the defense of the city wall.

   And Li Shuo himself, also in the dark, rushed to Li Xin's residence and reported military affairs to Li Xin.

   "General, the Ningzhou army has basically arrived, and there are more to follow. It is expected that all of them will arrive in Luzhou tomorrow afternoon."

   Li Xin was reading a book in the study at the moment. Hearing this, he looked up at Li Shuo and said, "Sit down and talk."

  Li Shuo bowed his head respectfully, found a chair in Li Xin's study and sat down.

General Li still stared at the old book in his hand, and said lightly: "In the past few months, the Ningzhou army has followed behind Mu Ying and recruited new troops. I have not asked about the process. Now Luzhou City has been attacked by Mu Ying. Next, how many people are in your Ningzhou army now?"

   "Return to General."

Li Shuo lowered his head and clasped his fists, said solemnly: "The last general led the 40,000 Ningzhou Army out of Xiangyang, and now there are about 75,000 troops in the main battle, and there are still 30,000 or 40,000 available people, but some of these people are from the local compartment. The army, some are ordinary people, and some refugees, most of them have never fought or served as soldiers, and their combat power is worrying.

   Having said this, Li Shuo paused and said silently, "These people will die if they die."

   Li Xin put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Li Shuo seriously, and said with a smile, "You are very different from ten years ago."

In the second year of Taikang, Li Xin led an army to the west and attacked Jincheng. At that time, Li Shuo was the one in front of him. He was afraid that Jincheng would be ruined, and that the entire Southwest Army would be wiped out. sent out.

   If it weren't for him, Li Xin's expedition to the west would never have been so smooth.

At that time, Li Xin felt that his cheap brother was somewhat of a virgin. Now that more than ten years have passed, Li Shuo has been on his own for many years, and his mind is very different from that of the young man at the time. Some unimportant subordinates were regarded as cannon fodder.

Li Shuo bowed his head slightly and said, "Everyone grows up, and my younger brother is not much different from more than ten years ago. If there was a 20-30% chance of the Pingnan Army more than ten years ago, I would stand there. On the side of the Pingnan Army, we fought to the end with my brother, but more than ten years ago, the Pingnan Army really didn't have the slightest chance..."

  Li Shuo was silent for a while, his voice a little low.

   "More than ten years ago, the elder brother's journey to the west was raging, and the city of Mianzhu was quickly smashed by the elder brother. At that time, the younger brother really thought that there was a real Chunyang person beside the elder brother.

   Having said this, he looked up at Li Xin and said meaningfully: "It turns out that when my brother was a teenager more than ten years ago, he already had firearms..."

At that time, the incident of the Chunyang Zhenren was known to everyone in the world. Later, the Emperor Taikang also named the Chunyang Zhenren a god. Now there are still many shrines of the Chunyang Zhenren in the people, from high officials and nobles to ordinary people. , most of them believed that there was such a real person.

   All the way to Tianlei in the southwest, after being exposed in front of everyone, some people want to understand what happened when the city gate of Mianzhu exploded inexplicably.

  Some people feel chills down their spines when they think of this, and feel that the marquis of Jing'an, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old at that time, was a city rich.

   Regarding this matter, Li Xin was too lazy to explain it to others. After all, he told others at this time that his idea was to bring gunpowder into the coffin, and no one would believe it.

   So he laughed at himself and said, "Whatever you think, just think it's me who has been planning for more than ten years."

The two brothers skipped this topic, Li Xin's face became serious, and he said solemnly: "The Hanzhou army has been advancing all the way east, and it is already exhausted. I have communicated with Mu Ying, starting today, the Hanzhou army will begin to rest, and your The Ningzhou army is the main attack."

"any questions?"

  Li Shuo stood up from the chair, half-kneeled in front of Li Xin, and said solemnly: "Last general, follow the orders of the general!"

Li Xin nodded and said, "I will let Mu Ying hand over the remaining Tianlei, firearms and some firearms of the Hanzhou Army. The firearms battalion of the Hanzhou Army can also be lent to you, but you The Ningzhou army must fight better, otherwise there will be people in the Hanzhou army who will not be convinced."

   "Brother Mu will not be happy if he doesn't say it."

   "You have to let them have nothing to say."

  Li Shuo looked solemn, and said solemnly, "The general has high hopes for this, how can the last general live up to it?"
