When Yu Zai heard Chong Li's analysis report on the local geographical conditions, she said "Okay" on the spot!
With so many large currents and swamps, it’s no wonder that Gonggong stood so far away from the Gonggong Mountains and built some barrier lakes. After digging them out, they would immediately cause a huge flood. When this wave washed down, all these swamps were
An accomplice!
If it were four thousand years later, there would be a swamp here, Lop Nur would be dried up, and the Yellow River would almost stop flowing.
It's different now. This huge swamp river spreads for at least five hundred miles.
Gonggong himself is the God of Water. If he jumps into so many swamps, there is no need to attack, because no matter how he fights, he will lose. Unless Yuzai can now come up with long-distance missiles or atomic bombs, give him a nuclear blast.
Flatten.
All the leaders believed that there was no turning back when they fired their bows at this time, and the battle preparations were all planned. If they did not attack Gonggong's headquarters, the other side would already be prepared next time.
"Our offensive situation has been discovered by Gonggong. Now, while Gonggong is away, it is actually the best way for us to attack his headquarters. The danger is that we don't know whether the Gonggong union is hiding on any hilltop.
Barrier lake.”
It's really hard to find something like a barrier lake hidden in a ravine. People are still too small compared to the mountains. Gonggong is a veteran at building dams. The location he built must be good for combat and defense.
Favorable areas. Compared with Yu Zai, Gonggong, an ancient geographer, did not have as rich geographical knowledge as Yu Zai, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. In these five hundred miles of water and mountains, Gonggong is better than Yu Zai.
Zai is much more familiar.
But Xiangyao is also a fierce totem of the water attribute. He can also produce floods, and the floods produced by the Xiangliu Totem are also corrosive. Although they are not as good as the Xiangliu monster in the Snowy Mountains, they are still extremely difficult to deal with.
At this time, Yuzai spoke, feeling it was inappropriate:
"No, we can't chase them. We can easily be held back by them. Think about it for yourself. Gonggong can escape from under our noses to the mountains across the river. When we attack Gonggong's headquarters, what will you do?
Can we guarantee that Gonggong will not come back with others and raid our stronghold?"
Yuzai said that if we attack rashly now, we will probably be bypassed by Gonggong, and then we will end up with cheese sandwiched between two loaves of bread.
The reason why the battle must be fought one stronghold after another is to prevent this situation. Otherwise, if you rush too far, the logistical supplies and rear defense behind you may be intercepted at any time.
Yu Zai issued an order: everyone should stand still and change the direction of production!
"There is no need to produce cavalry harnesses. They are not used as the main force in battle. Now we assume the passage between us and the Inufeng Kingdom area. Those scouts with good harnesses will be sent out in teams of five.
Set up a team leader to conduct an all-round observation along the river!"
"Let the remaining soldiers build simple postal stations at various road communication points to transmit intelligence and replace horses and dry food, and then send some soldiers to guard the dog seal country's passage. We have captured the Shushi Kingdom and destroyed it.
By losing the Shijun Kingdom, we no longer have to worry about Gonggong attacking our rear areas from long distances."
"Moreover, we have destroyed a large number of his fields. It is already early spring. Without fields and grain, spring plowing cannot be carried out, and grain and grass reserves are in short supply. Gonggong has three choices at this time."
"First, block everything and attack the Mother Kingdom of the Western Queen!"
"Second, ask Dihong to borrow food and grass from the Kunlun Tribe to continue the war, but I don't think Gonggong would choose this. The Kunlun Tribe is famous for going back on its word. Once Gonggong borrows food, it will be like putting himself at risk.
If my life is left to the Kunlun Tribunal, how can the Kunlun Tribunal not kill Gonggong to pieces?"
"Third, he will retreat, and all tribes will retreat back to Gonggong Mountain!"
"I choose the third option. You all are optimistic about it. It must be like this!"
Yuzai made an analysis for everyone, and then informed everyone of the changes in production direction:
"From now on, all materials transported from the Weishui River area will be escorted all the way to Shushi Country. All processing plants here will be transformed to produce yellow gunpowder!"
"Urge the steel mills in the Central Plains to send steel. Not steel weapons, but steel bars and pipes! I want them all, as well as leather and sturdy vehicles!"
Yuzai said confidently: "Gonggong is retreating. If there is no food, even if he has hoarded food in the past few years, it is not enough now. It is just enough for planting and eating. It will be impossible to continue fighting, so we will at least have until the autumn harvest."
period of buffering period.”
"In the past six months, we will start to keep an eye on Gonggong's movements. When the time is right, we will send troops and defeat the enemy in one battle."
Some people are curious: "Is it possible to mass-produce explosives and then use hot-air balloons to release them? But didn't you say that hot-air balloons depend on the wind direction? Are they going to attack when the east wind blows in the Western Wilderness?"
Yuzai smiled and said: "So, I want to make something that can attack violently without relying on wind power!"
Regarding the technology tree of gunpowder weapons, it’s time to continue lighting it up!
Of course, it is unrealistic to process firearms. Hongzhou has not processed breech-loading guns, only front-loading weapons, let alone Zhongyuan. What Yuzai wants to do is something more powerful than a flying thunder cannon.
Of course it's not a machine gun. Machine guns require too high precision for lathes. Where did the high-end lathes from the front line come from? It's too troublesome to transport them. The north still has high-end lathes imported from the south before it can start factory production. This thing must be first-class.
Just a little bit higher.
What Yu Zai wants to do now does not require too precise production techniques. This kind of weapon is a "bazooka"!
The oldest Congreve rocket launcher has a range of 600 meters and a maximum range of 1,800 meters! Easy to assemble!
The predecessor of this weapon was the "Shenji Rocket" of the Song Dynasty. After being introduced to India, it was improved and used. Later, the technology was taken by the British. If you don't understand clearly, then just copy the "Shenhuo Flying Crow" of the Ming Dynasty.
That’s it.
Of course, the power of the rocket launcher is infinitely greater than that of the Shenhuo Flying Crow. Moreover, the rocket launcher that Yu Zai is planning to spend half a year making is nominally called a rocket launcher.
Bazooka Ancient Youth Special Edition.
Franchisee: Azai.
Steel bar plus ammunition, simple and durable;
No need to be accurate at all, just say yes to washing the floor!
Cherish this wonderful time, and when the flames rise on the earth, please feel the great power of civilization!
You have your strategic location and tactics, and I have my production hammer. When you huddled up to study bronze, I had already thought of how to kill you without seeing you.
Yu Zai told everyone that this is a weapon that requires a lot of steel-making methods and yellow gunpowder assembly to produce. It has a long range and is much easier to use than bows and arrows, but its accuracy is not good. However, there are many communist workers, so they can explode randomly.
That's it, it's like a super flying thunder cannon.
Therefore, there has been no way to carry out production before, and after the war in the south, there was no need to engage in this thing. Now that we have come to the north, you have more people and strength in the Central Plains, so you have to rush to make steel and iron.
All the population is invested in productivity!
Of course, there are also disadvantages. The things produced in half a year are probably only enough for a war, so we can't make detours with Gonggong. Yu Zai said that he already has a solution for this, and he will write a letter to Gonggong now.
At this time, among the leaders present, an idea suddenly popped into Hongchao's head.
If this kind of weapon is really developed, then let Azai operate it
Then wouldn’t the technique of indiscriminate shooting be even more dangerous?!
