Wang Qi¡¯s army was on its way, and at the same time, sentinels were dispatched to inquire about the news. To succeed here in Goguryeo, at least intelligence is necessary.
In fact, the information we need to find out now is just to find out the opponent's troop deployment and so on.
Before that, people had already been arranged to check the road conditions.
The team continued on their way, heading from the direction of Liucheng to Liaodong. After entering Liaodong County, they were getting closer and closer to Goguryeo.
After entering September, the weather is crisp and clear.
The speed of rushing is also faster.
When we were less than two days away from the direction of the Datong River, a sentinel on the front line sent back the latest news.
Wang Qi saw the news from the front line, but his face looked relaxed and not nervous at all. The army continued on its way, while Wang Qi arranged for Zhou Zishan, Zhuge Feng, Xiao Qingzhi, and Nie Feng to be called over for discussion.
Wang Qi is confident about this battle and does not think it will be difficult to attack Goguryeo. However, Wang Qi will not despise this battle, because the fighting of war can be despised tactically, but not strategically.
Wang Qi glanced at the four Zhou Zishan people and said: "The news I just received is that Goguryeo has currently deployed three lines of defense. This first line of defense is at the Datong River when we enter Goguryeo."
"According to the news from the previous platoon, we are going to Goguryeo. After leaving Liaodong County, we have to cross the Datong River, then go south to Caoshan Pass, and finally pass through Yongding City, so that we can have a smooth journey. So now, our first priority is, That is to attack the Datong River and destroy the Goguryeo forces on the other side of the Datong River."
"As long as we destroy the other party, everything will be easy."
"On the whole, this battle won't be too difficult, but the specific strategies still need to be properly arranged. Can you tell me how to deal with this battle?"
Wang Qi¡¯s words seemed very relaxed.
After all, fighting is not difficult.
Zhou Zishan said calmly: "Your Majesty, the bombardment range of our mortars is at least seven or eight hundred steps. Under this premise, it is completely possible to discover the Goguryeo troops who have deployed a defense line on the other side of the river. They were suppressed by a burst of shelling. Then, we ferry over. In addition, we actually have an army that can be mobilized for this battle."
Wang Qidao: "Which army?"
Zhou Zishan's eyes were sharp and he said: "Deploy a part of the navy to go north. Although Wei Xun led the main force of the navy, and even most of the force went to the Japanese country to take charge. However, we can also dispatch a group of warships to help us get through Datong. River."
Zhuge Feng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have a different opinion. It is not necessary to mobilize the navy. The reason is very simple. The mobilization of the navy takes too much time. And now we have an advantage. The mere Datong River , as long as the artillery suppresses the opponent and can easily cross the river, why bother to deploy the navy?"
Zhou Zishan thought for a while and said: "What Minister Zhuge said has some truth to it. There is no need to mobilize the navy. Mobilizing is naturally the best. Of course, there will be no impact if we don't mobilize."
Wang Qidao: "Then there is no need to transfer."
With a slight smile on his face, Zhuge Feng continued: "So I think that in this battle, we will use cannons to kill directly. Cross the Datong River first, then the next step is Caoshan Pass, and the next step is Yongding City. Use a large number of artillery shells and bombardments to crush them directly. I believe that we can definitely defeat them in this battle and there will be no big problems."
Wang Qidao: "It's feasible."
Zhou Zishan added: "I have no objection to Minister Zhuge's proposal. However, we still need to know more about the intelligence and understand it in more detail."
Wang Qidao: "Zishan's suggestion is reasonable. Let's do this now."
"yes!"
Zhou Zishan and Zhuge Feng answered in unison.
When Xiao Qingzhi and Nie Feng heard this, they already knew what to do next. They only needed to send out the soldiers responsible for investigation. The battle would naturally go smoothly and there would be no difficulties.
After the matter was just settled, another soldier came quickly from the rear and reported: "Your Majesty, there are new weapons and telescopes sent by the Academy of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Industry. Please check them."
The soldier waved his hand, and someone came carrying a box.
Wang Qi looked overjoyed and hurried over.
The telescope is finally out.
The last time we talkedWhen the Western Empire went to war, Wang Qi thought that there should be telescopes. Wang Qi's plan at that time was to let the Ministry of Industry led by Mo Liu be responsible for the development after returning to Chang'an.
After all, Wang Qi knew everything about the situation of the telescope. He only needed to write down the information and let the Academy of Science and Technology study it. However, Wang Qi had to go north after destroying the Haixi Empire and had no time to return to Chang'an for the time being, so he directly arranged for people to send the telescope data back at an accelerated speed of 800 miles, including the polishing of glass and lenses. He wrote them all down.
Unexpectedly, not long after this, a telescope has been developed.
On the battlefield, this is an extremely powerful auxiliary tool.
Its value is immeasurable.
Wang Qi picked up a telescope and said with a smile: "Brother, Zishan, this telescope is a good thing. Come, each of you get a telescope to see the distance. I don't care about the ability of this telescope to see the distance." The scene from seven to eight hundred steps, or even more than a thousand steps away, can be seen clearly."
"ah!"
Zhou Zishan and Zhuge Feng both expressed surprise.
The two of them felt extremely shocked.
How is it possible to be able to see clearly a thousand steps away?
This is clairvoyance.
Wang Qidao: "You will know it if you look at it. Now we have to compete with the Hercynian Empire. If we don't even have such a basic weapon, how will we fight in the future? With such a weapon, it will be easier to fight in the future. , can anticipate the enemy¡¯s opportunities.¡±
Zhou Zishan and Zhuge Feng both nodded in unison. They each picked up the telescope and started to stop, using the telescope to observe the situation in the distance.
The two of them observed with the help of a telescope, looked at it once, and then took off the telescope and observed it with the naked eye. But after this observation, the two people asked people to actually measure it.
Thirteen hundred steps!
This telescope can see the scene 1,300 steps away.
Zhou Zishan was shocked when he heard the news, because the distance was too far.
Zhou Zishan was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, is this true?"
Zhuge Feng said: "It is indeed a bit unbelievable. Even a warrior can use his own skills to fly over the walls. But with the help of a small object, he can see the scene 1,300 steps away. It is really incredible."
Wang Qidao: "This is the power of technology, which can give ordinary people tyrannical power. For example, rifles and cannons, this is also the power of technology. Before these weapons, the Grand Master would have been invincible. But with rifles , Cannon, even if you are a great master, you still have to drink hatred, but you still can't stop it."
Zhuge Feng said: "It is indeed not simple, especially with the telescope. When our soldiers cross the river and attack the city, this command can be completely carried out from the rear."
Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty, this thing is the icing on the cake for our army."
Wang Qi also nodded.
He directly called Xiao Qingzhi and Nie Feng, and arranged the telescopes sent according to the rank of generals, from high to low, to ensure that generals at all levels could get the telescopes.
After everything is arranged, the team can continue on their way.
The army marched towards the Datong River. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
