It was expected that Zhou Guo could make Zhentian Lei. In fact, in the eyes of the wise king, it would be a fool for Emperor Zhou not to step up research and development after experiencing the severe beating of Zhentian Lei.
Moreover, the Thunder Sky Thunder is not difficult to make. Strictly speaking, the Earth Thunder Thunder already had it when Taoist Master Chunyang started exploding the furnace for alchemy more than ten years ago.
It's just that in order to collect money for elixir making, Taoist Master Chunyang weakened the Thunderbolt and turned it into fireworks for easy sale.
There are so many Taoists and alchemists in the world who make alchemy. It is not difficult to gather them together and create a thunder that shakes the sky.
What's the difficulty?
The difficulty lies in improvement.
Just like making the thunder more powerful, making the launcher's range longer, detecting the enemy faster and delivering precise strikes, etc., these are the most difficult.
And Chu State is undoubtedly at the forefront of other countries.
The most embarrassing one is the State of Zhao. Emperor Zhao has not yet ordered the development of firearms. It seems that the deposits in the treasury of the State of Zhao have no other use except to pay for the annual coins.
But this is normal. The royal family of Zhao State is different from Zhou State and Chu State. Zhao State suppresses military generals particularly seriously. If they ordered the production of firearms, where should they be assembled?
It will definitely be assembled into the frontier army!
What if the generals of the side army rebel? Who can resist the power of firearms?
In this case, it is better not to create it!
Emperor Zhao's consideration was to protect his own status first, and then Zhao's. If he lost the war, Zhao's land could be ceded, but his throne could not be lost.
During his tenure, he had lost enough land. He had compensated the Zhou State, the Zhao State, and other countries except the Central Plains. Emperor Zhao probably knew that he had done enough evil in his life. Later history books
It is recorded that he is definitely a faint king. If so, why not just faint to the end?
Being an emperor conscientiously may not necessarily bring back the lost land, but it will definitely be very comfortable to let it go and enjoy it.
The wise king, the emperor of Chu and the emperor of Zhou were all ashamed to associate with this person.
…
Let's talk about the grassland. It is indeed good that all the people in the grassland are soldiers, but the population is also extremely sparse. Wanyan Khan has gone through successive years of campaigns. Now the population of the grassland is actually not less than 10,000, and the number of young and middle-aged people is even less. Ten thousand people
There are only a few tribes, and the three major tribes only have so many people.
The standing army was originally small, but it was still losing money. The war horses collected from various tribes were originally placed in the new royal court waiting to be moved, but they were taken away by the Chu State.
It is quite difficult to re-arm the strong men of various tribes on the grassland, and there are not enough horses!
It can be said that there is no time, location, and people and appearance.
Because the people on the grassland are obviously more compatible with the Chu State. Although the Wanyan tribe has moved all the tribes on the grassland to the north, from time to time, herdsmen from small tribes kill their leaders and come to seek refuge. Although there are few, it is still
Power.
This shows what?
The aspirations of the people cannot be stopped no matter how hard you try!
I really don’t know if Wanyan Khan would be so angry that he would vomit blood if he knew what happened at the Zhou border.
As the situation on the battlefield changed, the wise king naturally changed his strategy. The Chu State's cavalry was now no less inferior to the cavalry on the grassland, and the Zhou State's military strength had also begun to advance towards the grassland.
The original plan made by the wise king was that when the rainy season came, the grassland would definitely attack Chu State when it rained heavily and the air was humid. Only in such weather could there be a chance to turn defeat into victory.
When the time comes, the Chu State will rely on military formations and cavalry to passively defend for a period of time. Finally, when the morale of the grassland is exhausted, it will turn from defense to offense and send out cavalry to fight decisively with the grassland.
But now it seems that even in the rainy season, Wanyan Khan will not attack rashly anymore. If Wanyan Khan will not attack rashly, then it is their turn to attack.
Thinking of this, King Xian looked at Xiao Ye and said: "If you want to close the distance with the grassland army and force the grassland to fight, you must use cavalry, so this time I will hand over all the cavalry of our Chu Kingdom to you.
Hand, this time I will not impose too many restrictions on you. There is only one point: eliminate any armed forces on the grassland! Defeat them completely."
When Xiao Ye heard King Xian's words, he immediately clasped his fists excitedly and said, "Yes!"
It was the first time in his life to lead an army alone in battle. How could he not be excited like this?
The wise king nodded and said, "Since we are taking the initiative to fight against the enemy this time, we naturally don't have to wait for the rainy season. You go down and pack up first. It will be time to set off for the expedition in three days."
After Xiao Ye cupped his fists and retreated, Zhao Hongyu said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness is young after all. Is it too hasty to order His Highness to lead an army and fight freely?"
The wise king shook his head and said: "Sooner or later, he will have to stand alone. Calculating his age, he should be in his weakest years. It is time to find a way out on his own. Now the grassland is attacked from both sides, and there are not enough troops and horses. It is a good opportunity to practice.
.”
When Zhao Hongyu heard what the Xian Wang said, he had no choice but to clasp his fists and say nothing more.
In fact, the wise king also has selfish motives. Although Xiao Ye has a lot of military exploits, they are all achieved by working hard with him. He never fights alone. He always fights under his guidance. Even if he has more
Even if he has many military exploits, it will be difficult to convince the public.
At that time, he led troops in various battles and conquered the hearts of the powerful generals of the Chu State, making them obedient and able to use their fingers like an arm.
Sooner or later he will grow old, and sooner or later the Chu State and its army will be handed over to him. If he doesn't have any impressive results, how can he make these brave generals loyal to him wholeheartedly?
He has been in charge of Chu State for more than ten years. He is tired and tired. It is time to pave the way for his descendants.
Now is the time when the grassland is most unified and united, but it is precisely because of the unity of the grassland that Zhou and Chu, who are not dealing with each other, have become particularly united, and they have made great breakthroughs in weapons, and they have successively defeated the limelight.
The prosperous steppe army.
Today's grasslands are already showing signs of fatigue.
After several battles, Xiao Ye also realized how dangerous the battlefield was, and he had mastered what tactics to use in any situation.
It’s so shallow on paper.
At this time, he needs an opportunity to be independent, and he also needs someone who can give him this opportunity, and this opportunity can be given to him by himself.
As long as Xiao Ye can destroy the grassland army and capture the royal court of Wanyan tribe this time, then his achievements will surpass all the monarchs since the founding of Chu State, and there will never be a second voice in the government and the public.
At that time, I can take the princess, Xueer and my two granddaughters to enjoy the happiness of family together.
