Cao Fang glared at Li Feng, then coughed lightly, then looked at the civil and military ministers in the main hall, and finally looked at Guan Qiujian and said: "Wu Ai Qing!"
"The minister is here!" Guanqiu Jian heard the voice and came out.
"I will give you 50,000 elite troops, and we will immediately raise troops to aid Hongnong." After saying that, Cao Fang stared at Guanqiu Jian and said seriously: "No matter what countermeasures Ai Qing uses, Liu Chan cannot be allowed to cross Hongnong County."<
/p>
"Your Majesty..." Guanqiu Jian suddenly panicked.
I said in my heart that 50,000 is worth 120,000. Your Majesty, you really think highly of me. In the past, Guanqiu Jian would not have had any worries and would have gladly accepted the order.
But now——
He did not have this confidence, because when the Han army attacked Soochow, they had already unveiled new weapons and equipment, which were the terrifying rocket launchers.
Rocket launchers are no longer a secret.
Even the people of the Wei Dynasty have heard of this thing.
"Ai Qing, there is no need to worry!" Cao Fang seemed to see Guan Qiu Jian's doubts. He said with a smile: "Ai Qing is worried that the Han army has rocket launchers. The 50,000 elite soldiers I gave Ai Qing cannot stop the Han army's attack.
Yes or no?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Guanqiu Jian bowed and saluted.
Cao Fang laughed loudly when he heard this, and then asked with a smile: "The Han army has rocket launchers, don't we, the Wei Dynasty, not care?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. There was a loud noise in Luoyang more than two months ago. At first many people thought it was the Han army coming, but later many courtiers heard that it was Ma Jun, a master craftsman, doing experiments.
I heard that the intelligence was obtained from Chang'an. The Wei Dynasty was also developing something called explosives, which may be the rocket launchers used by the Han army in the Soochow battlefield.
Just——
It has only been more than two months since that experiment.
How much can be produced in more than two months?
"I will give Aiqing five thousand rocket launchers!" Cao Fang said very calmly: "Aiqing, you don't have to save these rocket launchers, just try to summon the Han army, and I will continuously deliver them to Aiqing."
"Your Majesty!" Guanqiu Jian immediately asked with great joy: "Is this true?"
"You have nothing to say!" Cao Fang nodded, and then called out loudly: "The master craftsman, Ma Jun, is here to see you."
Everyone heard the sound and looked outside the hall.
When he was young, Ma Jun came in from outside with several attendants and some messy things that he had never seen before.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Ma Jun saluted.
"Ma Aiqing!" Cao Fang said with a smile: "Let me tell you whether the Wei Dynasty can win this Han-Wei war."
"Promise!" Ma Jun immediately agreed and said loudly: "We, the Wei Dynasty, will win this battle!"
Then Ma Jun walked aside, pointed to the strange spear in the hand of an attendant, and explained: "Everyone, this is the rocket launcher of the Han army. This object is launched into the enemy's formation through a three-bow crossbow, and then explodes."
"At present, we in Wei Dynasty have more than 20,000 rocket launchers of this kind."
Everyone was stunned, thinking that no wonder the emperor was so confident today. Even when he heard that the Han army of 400,000 troops was attacking Wei, he didn't look anxious at all.
It turns out that the Wei Dynasty also possessed this advanced weapon.
What surprised them even more was that Wei now owned more than 20,000 rocket launchers.
"The rocket launcher is fired by a single gun, and its range is four hundred steps;" Ma Jun said, walking slowly towards the other attendants, and said with a smile: "This thing is called the Thunder Cannon, which is the name given to it by His Majesty."<
/p>
Cao Fang smiled and nodded, indicating that Ma Jun's words were true.
"Over the years, I have been studying how to make the multi-shot bed crossbow developed by Zhuge Liang;" Ma Jun said. He paused and looked at the ministers in the hall. Everyone looked at him with curiosity. He said with a smile.
: "Just last month, I finally developed the first multi-shot bed crossbow, which has a range of more than 400 steps and can fire thirty special arrows each time."
Hiss——
Everyone was shocked. At first, the Han army had a three-bow crossbow, and the Wei Dynasty also wanted to own it. However, the Han army kept it secret. Ma Jun used his imagination to figure it out for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
Later, during the Battle of Fan Yang, the Wei army captured a batch of Xianbei army's bed crossbows. Ma Jun quickly copied a large number of three-bow bed crossbows, but later the Han army upgraded the bed crossbows, and the Han army's bed crossbows were no longer used.
The single-shot bed crossbow has the same range as the Wei army's bed crossbow.
The ranges are comparable, and multiple shots clearly have an absolute advantage.
This is also the reason why the Wei army has never dared to attack the Han army again, because the Han army's multi-shot crossbows are too lethal.
Well now, Dawei also has multiple bed crossbows.
And there are rocket launchers, so the gap in weapons between Han and Wei has basically disappeared.
When the weapons and equipment are comparable, even if the Han sends 400,000 troops, it will not be so easy to quickly destroy the Wei Dynasty. It is not certain whether it can truly defeat the Wei Dynasty.
However, just when the ministers were excited, they unexpectedly discovered that there was something strange in the hands of these attendants.
"This is a thunderbolt cannon!" Ma Jun saw the confusion of the ministers. He pointed at the thunderbolt cannon and explained: "This is an improvement I made based on the rocket launcher. The rocket launcher can fire a long gun at one time, and the thunderbolt cannon can fire a long gun at one time.
Can fire twenty."
"Similarly, I also filled these special feather arrows with explosives."
Listening to Ma Jun's explanation, the ministers have seen that the special feather arrows of these thunder cannons have much thinner shafts than spears, but are thicker and longer than ordinary feather arrows.
.
But it doesn't have an arrow. Not far from the arrow, there is a bamboo tube about a foot long. This bamboo tube is about the thickness of a child's wrist. There is a long thin wire at the end of the bamboo tube, and the ends of these thin wires are all twisted together.
"Because the thunderbolt cannon is filled with explosives, its range is relatively inferior to that of the feather arrows;" Ma Jun explained, and then said excitedly: "The feather arrows can fire thirty at a time. After adding explosives, this thunderbolt can
The range of the cannon is up to 300 steps, and it can fire twenty thunderbolt cannons at a time."
"Currently, I, the Wei Dynasty, already have three thousand sets of thunder cannons." Ma Jun finally said.
When Ma Jun finished talking about rocket launchers and thunder cannons, Cao Fang suddenly stood up, looked at Guanqiu Jian again, and said in a deep voice: "Ai Qing can take these three thousand sets of thunder cannons with you!"
Guanqiu Jian was stunned when he heard this.
He had not known that the Wei Dynasty had rocket launchers before, so when the emperor gave him 50,000 elite troops, he was a little worried that he would not be able to withstand the firepower of the Han army.
Later, the emperor prepared five thousand rocket launchers for him, and he no longer worried about being unable to defeat the Han army. But now, the emperor prepared another three thousand sets of thunder cannons for him.
My dear mother.
Three thousand groups, each group has twenty thunderbolt cannons, and three thousand groups equals 60,000 thunderbolt cannons.
After hearing this, Guanqiu Jian immediately bowed and said: "I obey the order!"
"As long as I, Guanqiu Jian, am here!" Guanqiu Jian added: "Weijun will not let the Han army step into Hongnong!"
"Okay!" Cao Fang nodded and said loudly: "Liu Chan of Hongnong will be handed over to Aiqing. As for the other Han troops;" After saying that, Cao Fang paused and looked at the civil and military ministers in the main hall. Shen
The voice said: "Order the prefects and governors of each county to hold the city and never go out to fight with the Han army. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy. Just block them under the city."
"As long as General Hongnong's Han army is defeated by our army;" Cao Fang said lightly: "The other Han armies will collapse without a fight."
The Han army of 400,000 troops attacked Wei. Cao Fang had actually known this news for a long time. In the past two months, the Han army had frequently mobilized troops in various places. If he didn't want to start a war, what was the purpose?
So while the Han army was frequently dispatching troops, Cao Fang was also dispatching troops and generals.
However, Cao Fang concentrated the main forces of the Wei Dynasty around Luoyang. There were nearly 400,000 troops in the country, and there were 200,000 around Luoyang at the moment.
After the gunpowder was successfully developed two months ago, he was worried that Liu Chan would send troops to attack Wei.
According to Liu Chan's offensive strategy in recent years, whether in the Western Regions or Soochow, the army has been mobilized a lot, but he will not advance slowly, but quickly hit the heart of the enemy, which is the capital.
Once the capital city is conquered by him, then gradually conquer the surrounding city-states, which is much more effective than slowly advancing slowly and steadily.
Since Liu Chan is very likely to use troops against the Wei Dynasty, and Luoyang is not far from Guanzhong, it will only take five days to hurry up.
As a precaution, the army quietly retreated to Luoyang.
Two hundred thousand horse infantry, as well as new weapons developed by Ma Jun.
The rocket launchers may not be as powerful as those of the Han army, but it is understood that the Han army does not have thunderbolt cannons. They are just mass-producing rocket launchers.
Haha——
With rocket launchers and thunderbolt cannons, plus 200,000 horse infantry, Cao Fang had reason to believe that he could defeat the Han army.
Now it turns out that his guess was not wrong at all.
The Han army dispatched 400,000 people, but nearly 300,000 were scattered in the north and south. However, there were 120,000 in the direction of Tongguan, and Emperor Liu Chan and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang both came.
It seems that Liu Chan wanted to use nearly 300,000 people to contain the Wei Dynasty this time, and then he recklessly sent 120,000 people to Luoyang with rocket launchers.
"Emperor Liu Adou of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang of the Han Dynasty;" Cao Fang secretly said in her heart: "This time, I will make sure that you will never come back and die without a burial place."
