1868 method, shine and heat
Zero casualties are almost a luxury on the battlefield, but the quality of individual Black Cavalry soldiers is very high. Every Black Cavalry soldier thrown into the military camp is a king of individual soldiers. If one such soldier dies, there will be one less, and the number cannot be replenished at all. Feng Qingchen hopes from the bottom of his heart that the Black Cavalry can continue to maintain the record of zero casualties!
Solutions are thought up by people. Although not every problem can be solved, it is better to think of it than not to think of it. After dozens of hours of thinking, Feng Qingchen finally came up with a good idea.
"Those chariots of Yecheng." Feng Qingchen's eyes lit up, and he took the charcoal pencil and quickly drew the terrain of Tiannv Peak and the chariots of Yecheng on the rice paper.
"The outside of Night City's chariots are made entirely of steel, and people are inside the chariots, controlled by mechanisms to move forward. The chariots have a very high combat value, and can also transport people. It's not reliable to transport hundreds of thousands of troops, but what about just transporting the Black Cavalry?" Feng Qingchen calculated the space of Night City's chariots and used small circles to represent the personnel arrangements.
"These chariots look clumsy in appearance, but they have a lot of space. They can accommodate fifty people at a time. I remember that there were ten chariots seized from Yecheng. After being damaged, they were repaired by Zuo'an and can now run normally. It's just that their combat effectiveness is weaker, and we don't need to rely on their combat effectiveness this time." Feng Qingchen finished speaking in one breath, then looked at the Ninth Uncle, waiting for his consent.
The Ninth Prince had seen the power of the Night City Chariot and had considered building it again. However, there were at least tens of thousands of mechanical parts inside the chariot, and many of the mechanisms were hidden inside the mechanisms. The structure was very sophisticated. The Ninth Prince had summoned skilled craftsmen, but they have not yet figured it out.
Zuo An has always been interested in these things, and he is quite talented in this area. However, no matter how talented Zuo An is, without drawings and no one to guide him, he cannot understand the structure of the chariot in a short period of time relying solely on self-study. He can only barely repair the chariot so that it can be used again.
"Very good." Unlike Feng Qingchen's excitement, the Ninth Prince looked calm. However, the gleam in his eyes made Feng Qingchen understand that the Ninth Prince was not as unmoved as he appeared.
Although the Ninth Prince said that he didn't care about the sacrifice of the Black Cavalry as long as it was worth it, he was the one who felt the most distressed when the Black Cavalry really had to be sacrificed.
There are ten chariots in Night City. If all of them are transported here, five hundred Black Cavalry can pass through in one go, and two chariots can safely deliver a thousand Black Cavalry to Fudi and into the heart of the Chu army.
Although it is impossible to defeat the Chu army with just one thousand black cavalry, these one thousand black cavalry are enough to control the vanguard of the Chu army and buy time for the 100,000 troops behind.
Ten days after Doudou marched, he received another order from the Ninth Uncle, asking him to send a group of people back to Yecheng to transport the ten chariots from Yecheng to the front line.
"Isn't this something that Zuo'an keeps for fun? What use does Uncle Nine have for it?" Doudou was extremely confused, but this did not affect his ability to obey orders.
A soldier's duty is to obey, he doesn't need to figure it out.
Doudou immediately gave orders, asking people to rush to Yecheng to get the chariots, and at the same time slow down the march. After the chariots arrived, they would go to the border of Chucheng together to meet up with the Ninth Uncle.
The army advanced slowly, which made Zhou Wang, who was far away in Chu City, or the new emperor, very worried: "What does this mean, Uncle Nine?"
The dispatch of troops from Dongling was expected, and the new emperor was not surprised. What surprised him was that the Ninth Prince would leave Beiling alone and personally attack a small city like Chu. What he couldn't understand even more was that the army attacking Chu City was actually stopping and starting, with no hurry at all.
The Ninth Prince is not just pretending, right?
"Is it because Dongling does not have enough soldiers and horses?" After Chu Changhua married King Zhou, she dressed like a woman with her long hair tied up. She looked even more plump and noble. The innocence between her eyebrows and the yearning for love had disappeared from her face.
"Impossible. Dongling has a million troops. Even if part of them are held back by Beiling and Yecheng, there will be more than one soldier available." As the prince of Dongling, although he was sent to his fiefdom early, King Zhou knew Dongling's troops well.
Chu Changhua shook his head, disagreeing with Prince Zhou's words: "A million troops are not many for Dongling. The troops stationed at the borders of the three countries all year round number as many as 400,000 to 500,000. There are also troops stationed at the borders of various cities, which are also 200,000 to 300,000. After deducting the troops of you and Prince Yong, the Ninth Uncle has limited troops available."
This is why the four countries dare not start a war easily. Although each country has a large number of troops, most of them cannot be mobilized. Even if there is no war, they have to guard the border for fear that other countries will take the opportunity to bring troops to attack.
The new emperor also shook his head, disagreeing with Chu Changhua's reasoning: "You don't know Uncle Nine. He never fights a battle without confidence. Since he sent troops to attack Chu City, he will definitely not be short of troops. From the intelligence, Uncle Nine should have known about my collusion with Beiling a long time ago, otherwise he would not have transferred the troops stationed in Nanling."
“Now the Ninth Prince has sent reinforcements to Nanling. I think he is afraid that Nanling will take advantage of the opportunity to attack.” As long as Dongling shows signs of defeat, Chu Changhua is sure that not only Nanling, but also the lords of Yuncheng, Yucheng, Jiancheng and other cities will come to join in the fun.
Only a fool would let go of a bargain that he had picked up for free. Dongling was vast and rich in resources, occupying the most fertile land in the Kyushu continent. The fact that Dongling could become the most powerful country in the Kyushu continent was closely related to its geographical location. Such a good place would make everyone jealous.
“You also know that the Ninth Prince has sent reinforcements to Nanling. Now Nanling doesn’t dare to send out troops even if it wants to, not to mention that their country is in a mess.” Thinking of the troubles in Nanling, the new emperor couldn’t help but give the Ninth Prince a thumbs up.
The Ninth Prince was extremely wise not to kill Nanling Jinfan. People like Nanling Jinfan would never be content with mediocrity and loneliness. With the help of Fu Lin, although Nanling Jinfan had no freedom, he maintained contact with the outside world.
Under the call of Nanling Jinfan, the old forces in Nanling, which were originally scattered, quickly united as one, and made trouble for Emperor Nanling in both open and covert ways. They were extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Nanling's decision to make his youngest son the crown prince, and at the same time, used various reasons to stuff women into the harem.
Since the little prince was able to be born, it means that the emperor still has the ability to create a few more little princes. Then they will naturally be able to help their own prince to ascend the throne.
In any case, the Empress Dowager of Nanling must not be an outsider, let alone a member of the Wang family. When the Wang family takes over Nanling, they will no longer have a say.
When their own interests were violated, these people who were dissatisfied with each other would unite and start to oppose the emperor.
Although there is no internal strife in Nanling, the Emperor of Nanling is now busy fighting against the old forces and is unable to send troops to Dongling. Even if he could, he would not be able to find a suitable person to lead the troops.
If he lets his trusted aides lead the troops, the old forces will not agree, and then they will drag their feet, which will be worse than not sending troops at all. If he lets the generals of the old forces lead the troops, the emperor is not afraid that they will take the opportunity to interfere in the military power.
In the final analysis, it is because the little prince's maternal family is not strong enough. Although he has Yucheng as his backer, the emperor is far away and the mountains are high. How can the powerful people in Nanling take Yucheng seriously? Even if they are afraid of Yucheng and the Wang family, these people will not give up the fat meat in their mouths.
The struggle between the Nanling nobles, the emperor, and the young prince is inevitable...
