The Yanbei Army came out of the shadow of defeat. Although they mourned their dead comrades, they did not have time to immerse themselves in the pain of the past. It was not that they did not want to, but that they did not have time...
A group of people had just hugged each other, licked each other's wounds and restored some morale, when news came from the front that Nan Jinzhao was actively attacking.
Nan Jinzhao looks like a humble gentleman, but in fact he is conceited and arrogant. He has always been very self-reliant and feels that his strength is extraordinary.
Especially in the previous years when the prince was absent, he took the lead and threw the four kingdoms into chaos.
Because of him, the four countries went from a peaceful and prosperous land to a bloody one. The royal families of the four countries were almost completely destroyed in his hands. When the people of the four countries heard his name, they became even more frightened and their legs trembled, let alone resisted.
He doesn't even have the ability to fight with him...
In those years, he could be said to be the most prestigious figure in the Four Kingdoms and the most dazzling figure in the Four Kingdoms. To put it bluntly, at that time, more than 80% of the people in the Four Kingdoms believed that the final winner of the Four Kingdoms dispute must be Nan Jinzhao.
There is no doubt that if anyone can unify the four countries, it must be Nan Jinzhao.
It's not those people who are optimistic about Nan Jinzhao, but those who can stand at the top in troubled times are all people with heavy weapons and ruthless heart. Undoubtedly, Nan Jinzhao was the most suitable person at that time.
The southern Xinjiang army in his hands was not visible at first, but after they destroyed the Yanbei army of the King of Yanbei in one fell swoop, they instantly became famous and became the number one army of the Four Kingdoms.
Of course, this First Army has some merit, and it came to power by stepping on the Yanbei Army, but...
The southern Xinjiang soldiers and horses in Nan Jinzhao's hands had a great morale and self-confidence after the first battle of the Yanbei Army. Although they were not invincible or invincible, they did have no opponent in the four countries, and they were Ji Xin's.
The beast army is no match for him. Which other country's army dares to fight with him?
Being timid before fighting, the armies of the four countries were frightened by Nan Jinzhao. When Nan Jinzhao led his troops to attack Tianqi, except for the initial obstruction, almost no soldiers came out to fight, and they all surrendered...
Not to mention others, even Emperor Tianqi chose to lead his troops to escape south instead of fighting with him when he learned that Nan Jinzhao had brought soldiers and horses to kill him in the imperial city.
Under such circumstances, who else dares to fight with him?
If Ji Xin hadn't suddenly stood up and fought against Nan Jinzhao for a while with the help of an army of beasts who didn't understand fear. With Nan Jinzhao's morale at that time, he would have taken down Tianqi, and then Tianwu, Beichen...etc.
land.
But it is a pity that Nan Jinzhao was not in good luck.
No, no, no, it shouldn’t be said that Nan Jinzhao is unlucky. It should be that Nan Jinzhao is not strong enough, not strong enough, not strong enough to look down on the world, making everyone fear, tremble, and have no opponent to fight against him.
After Nan Jinzhao met Ji Xin, the smooth road to conquest encountered obstacles. He spent several years with Ji Xin, and countless wasted money and troops. But these are still small things. The biggest problem is...
…
Nan Jinzhao spent a lot of energy and morale in this battle.
I don't know whether Nan Jinzhao is too confident or he is too stubborn. He obviously can't take down Ji Xin. He obviously has a choice, put Ji Xin aside first and attack other countries first. Obviously...
Obviously Nan Jinzhao had more and better choices, but Nan Jinzhao didn't do that. He just fought hard with Ji Xin, biting Ji Xin to death, and the final result was...
Although he endured Ji Xin to death, he also endured the prince until he came back.
Seeing that victory is in sight, seeing that he is about to bite the hard nut of Ji Xin, seeing that he is only one step away from unifying the four countries, seeing that he is about to reach the top, but just one step away, he will be lost forever
A chance to reach the top.
Needless to say what happened after that, the prince came back, Nan Jinzhao couldn't even keep his original position, not to mention taking one step forward. He suffered miserably all the way, like a lost dog, he was driven from Tianqi to Beichen by the prince.
In Beichen, the soldiers and horses sent by the prince were driven here and there, and they didn't even have a piece of their own territory.
It can be said that how glorious Nan Jinzhao was before, how miserable he is now, the comparison between the two makes it even more obvious that Nan Jinzhao is a complete loser.
A person like Nan Jinzhao is conceited and arrogant. He thinks he is the best in the world. How could he admit his failure?
Even if he failed miserably along the way, he did not find the reason in himself, but instead put all his anger and hatred on the prince.
Therefore, when the prince's army drove him away without a foothold in Beichen, he despicably and shamelessly took out the gunpowder he had been studying.
He was in Tianqi when the prince and Ji Yunkai tried gunpowder, and he clearly knew the power of gunpowder. Otherwise, he would not have led the talks between the four countries after the defeat of the Yanbei Army and jointly issued an agreement to ban gunpowder.
At that time, among the four countries, only Tianqi's Yanbei army had a small amount of gunpowder. Even Tianqi's royal family did not have gunpowder and did not know how to prepare gunpowder.
Therefore, under Nan Jinzhao's suggestion, with the cooperation of Queen Tianwu, and with the acquiescence of Emperor Beichen, Emperor Tianqi struggled for a while, but...
His struggle didn't even stir up a splash of water.
Nan Jinzhao, Queen Tianwu and Emperor Beichen agreed. Emperor Tianqi had no choice but to agree. At that time, the Yanbei army was almost killed by the supernatural world of Shifang World. It only had more than 10,000 troops and did not say anything at all.
Moreover, although they had gunpowder on hand, the stock was insufficient, and they did not know how to prepare it. The four countries all agreed not to use gunpowder, which was good for them, but it was also good for them.
If no one has formulated something like gunpowder, then it is very likely that it will never appear. But once it is formulated and people see the effect, it will only be a matter of time before someone makes the same thing again.
problem.
There is no shortage of talents in this world. There may be a shortage of talents with the ability to invent and create, but there will never be a shortage of talents who can imitate.
The gunpowder has been released, and we have a direction and a goal. If we continue to work hard in this direction, as long as we have enough time, we will be able to develop the same thing sooner or later.
However, depending on the people, material resources, and financial resources of the Four Kingdoms, once they discovered how to prepare gunpowder, they could use it in large quantities on the battlefield.
In comparison, the Yanbei Army would suffer. Even if they could prepare gunpowder, they would still suffer because...
They don't have enough resources on hand.
A clever woman can't make a meal without rice. No matter how strong Yanbei's army is, they can't conquer the world with just one hand.
With the tacit consent of all parties, the plan to ban gunpowder on the battlefield was approved by everyone.
For so many years, even in the most difficult years, several countries did not use gunpowder, for fear of starting a war and getting out of hand later. Even if they won the war in the end, they would still end up with a devastated country, but... (Unfinished)
