For Ye Mingsheng, sending troops to defeat Song Wenhui is a sure thing!

But when to send troops to fight, he needs to think carefully!

The reason why Ye Mingsheng pays so much attention to the war situation in Changqing Mansion and spends a lot of manpower and material resources every day to get the latest information on the situation in Changqing Mansion as soon as possible is actually for no other reason than to calculate the time to send troops...

··········

Just like the last time he attacked Posa Mansion, Ye Mingsheng, who has the smallest power and the lowest foundation, is still thinking about how to make the most profit for himself by competing with the snipe and the clam for the fisherman's profit!

As for when to send troops, Ye Mingsheng has his own considerations in mind. In his opinion, it must be just right to send troops, not too early or too late.

If the troops were sent out too early, the Zhenwu Army would not be beaten badly enough by Song Wenhui, giving them a chance to breathe. The Zhenwu Army would instead threaten Fengzhou. If the troops were sent out too late, the Zhenwu Army would collapse, and Song Wenhui would be able to withdraw without any worries.

Use all your forces to deal with yourself.,

In addition, this Song Wenhui is not a fool. It is not that he cannot feel the threat from Ye Mingsheng. Although Ye Mingsheng scolded Han Chen back last time, Song Wenhui still persevered in letting Han Chen come to Fengzhou as an envoy and promised various benefits to Ye Mingsheng.

At first, they invited Ye Mingsheng to attack Changqing Mansion together. Later, when they saw that Ye Mingsheng did not take the bait, they changed their strategy and told Ye Mingsheng that as long as you do not move, we will send you gold, silver, treasures, beautiful women...

In addition to wooing Ye Mingsheng, Song Wenhui was also prepared for Ye Mingsheng to lead his troops to join the war. Shortly after the battle in Changqing Mansion, Song Wenhui dispatched 10,000 well-equipped Liaoyang troops to Shoucheng in Xuantu Mansion as a defense

Ye Mingsheng.

Shoucheng is the transit hub of Liaoyang. It is geographically connected in all directions and can be said to be a battleground for military strategists. Judging from the current situation in Liaoyang, this place is also very critical. Whether Ye Mingsheng sends troops from Fengzhou or from Posu

If the government sends troops to attack Dongning Prefecture, they must pass through Shoucheng!

Shoucheng has tall walls, a moat, and very strong defensive facilities. There were originally 3,000 defenders, but now another 10,000 people have been stationed. In addition, thousands of strong men can be mobilized from the city in times of crisis.

The city's defenders numbered approximately 15,000 to 20,000 people!

The city is strong and there is sufficient water and food, plus the garrison can reach up to 20,000 people. This is the biggest problem Song Wenhui poses to Ye Mingsheng...

You must know that the total number of troops dispatched in Ye Mingsheng's plan is Yuan Song's 15,000 people, Lin Huaiwu's 13,000 people, and Guo Zhiping's 10,000 people. The total force is about 389,000. This is already Ye Mingsheng's

We need to be prepared for a possible sneak attack by the Khitans. After stabilizing the situation in Posuo Mansion, we can dispatch the maximum number of troops!

Let’s not talk about whether Ye Mingsheng can capture Shoucheng with these troops. Let’s assume that Ye Mingsheng can capture Shoucheng. How long will it take?

Three days? Five days? Seven days?

Or longer?

And after the capture of Shoucheng, the Toyoshu Army carried out its first offensive operation. How many casualties would there be?

Are the remaining troops and horses enough to continue the mission of attacking Dongning Mansion?

These are all issues Ye Mingsheng needs to consider!

To be honest, although Ye Mingsheng is very confident in the Fengzhou Army he founded, after such a large-scale expansion in a short period of time, the combat effectiveness of the army is still a few percent. Ye Mingsheng is not very confident...

·····················

·····················

One hundred and fifty miles away from Fengzhou City, in the inaccessible Panshi Ridge, thousands of Fengzhou soldiers are guarding the surrounding area with great vigilance. They have received orders that the area around Panshi Ridge has now been classified as a military restricted area. If any random people are found,

Anyone who refuses to leave after being warned will be shot without mercy!

While the soldiers were on guard, three huge objects covered with black cloth were pushed by the soldiers and horses to a flat ground.

Looking at these three giants, Ye Mingsheng's eyes instantly became hot. For this thing, in the past few months, he had scrimped on food and clothing, tightened his belt, gritted his teeth and smashed down tens of thousands of taels of silver. Finally, it was

Turn this thing from drawings into reality.

Now is the time for him, Ye, to witness the power of this thing. He wants to see with his own eyes whether this thing is worthy of his efforts!

Standing next to Ye Mingsheng, Huang Hao couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw Ye Mingsheng's appearance. He was originally a craftsman from the Ministry of Industry. He was poached to Fengzhou by Ye Mingsheng with a high salary through the channels of Deshengchang half a year ago.

, and for these things in front of me.

"Open these black cloths and let me see what they look like!" Ye Mingsheng, full of expectation, ordered to the people on the left and right:

"yes!"

As Ye Mingsheng's order was issued, the surrounding soldiers took action and lifted the black cloth on the giant object to prevent rain. Immediately, three dark cannons mounted on wooden wheels appeared in Ye Mingsheng's sight.

.

These three artillery pieces all have one characteristic, that is, their barrels are long, the walls are thick, and they are gradually thickened from the muzzle to the breech, and they can all be used to fire solid projectiles...

······

With unbearable inner excitement, Ye Mingsheng walked up to the three cannons and stroked the cold and ferocious cannons in front of him like he was stroking his lover's skin.

In addition to three-eyed blunderbuss, bird blunderbuss, tiger crouching cannon and other firearms, a very small number of elites in the Zhou army were also equipped with some iron cannons, but they were all bowl-mouthed iron cannons, which had many shortcomings and were not sufficient for the current war.

Because of their formality, cumbersome workmanship and other reasons, the vast majority of iron cannons are used to defend cities, and it is difficult to see them in field battles.

Ye Mingsheng's development and understanding of firearms has always been considered by him to be his biggest advantage in facing all kinds of powerful enemies. It is Ye's core competitiveness in competing for the world and the Central Plains!

He wants to lead the trend of the times and create a firearms force that represents the world's advanced level. Ye Mingsheng has always done this, starting with Polu guns and then Weiyuan guns, and now it is time to step out of this historic

One step ahead!

Ye Mingsheng has never forgotten that artillery is the king of war. From the beginning of the establishment of the craftsman camp, Ye Mingsheng has been recruiting talents from all over the world, hoping to build what he thinks represents the highest level of firearms today - the red cannon.

After investing countless manpower and material resources, Ye Mingsheng's efforts paid off. With his guidance and financial encouragement, the craftsmen of the craftsman camp worked overtime for several months and finally replicated the red cannon in this world.

came out.

Ye Mingsheng believes that the red gate will become his secret trump card and his greatest weapon in conquering Shoucheng, so that his enemies will be shrouded in a nightmare of fear

(Today I went out for team building with my colleagues. After drinking some wine and eating some barbecue, my stomach was very bloated and my head was confused. After I came back after eight o'clock, I managed to write more than 2,000 words. Now I can't bear it anymore. I'm sorry but
