At this time, Li Zhi's curiosity had been satisfied, and he thoroughly understood why Li Tai would win every battle. However, this also made Li Zhi's heart more wary of Li Tai.

If Li Tai really led the Youzhou army to besiege Chang'an City, I am afraid that he would not have any chance of winning. So Li Zhi must find a way, with a red-coat cannon and grenades.

……

In the handsome hall, Li Zhi opened his mouth and said to everyone: "You are all veterans of the battlefield, and you naturally know more about this siege than me. But today I would like to ask you how you can take a city in the fastest way possible. ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone was a little confused for a while. Why did Li Zhi ask such a question? So they stared at Li Zhi puzzled.

"Generals don't have to worry, this king just wants to communicate with the generals. Of course, Brother Xue Wang can also talk to me. Li Zhi saw that everyone was puzzled, so he opened his mouth to explain.

Hearing Li Zhi say this, Xue Rengui said: "Since ancient times, there have been no more than two kinds of siege, one is to combine the inside and the outside. The other is to use powerful siege equipment. ”

"The former is very time-saving and labor-saving, and it can also reduce a lot of casualties. But it's hard to find. ”

"Therefore, the main siege war is to use the absolute superiority of troops and add all kinds of advanced siege equipment. Attack the opponent's city with a thunderbolt. ”

"Of course, there is also the soldier who surrenders without a fight, that is, to use a strong deterrent force to make the other side completely lose the confidence to resist. In the end, it was forced to open the city and county management. However, this is not considered a way to siege the city. ”

"There's another way that's even more difficult to achieve. That is, the geographical location of the other party's city is very special. You can also use natural forces such as water, fire, and water to help siege cities. ”

"Brother Xue Huang thinks that the best way to attack the city is to combine inside and outside? After all, there are several other situations that rarely occur on the battlefield. Li Zhi opened his mouth and asked Xue Rengui.

"The emperor is right, as long as there is an internal response of our army in the city. Help our army open the gates and create chaos in the city. Then it will be much easier for our army to take the city. Xue Rengui nodded and said.

"Then I don't know if what the imperial brother thinks is correct for what Brother Xue said, or if the imperial brother has any different opinions." Li Zhi looked at Li Tai on the side and asked with a smile.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Tai couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "This is different when you become the emperor, and you have a lot more eyes than before." You're ready to play tricks with me. ”

So Li Tai got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't quite agree with Marshal Xue's statement. Chenjue's second way of siege is the most preferable. ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, although the last general knows that the Youzhou army under His Royal Highness King Yan can fight well. But I'm afraid that there will be a lot of casualties in storming the city, right? Li Tai, a military general accompanying the army, asked.

"This king won the boundary card level in one day, and it also took another day to win the Tiantian level. And how many casualties did you see in the vanguard army under the command of this king? Li Tai asked rhetorically.

Everyone present knew that Li Tai had two passes in a row. However, the casualties suffered by the vanguard were almost negligible.

So the general was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he say forcefully: "That's His Royal Highness King Yan's good luck and met some hands and feet who are greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

"Otherwise, there will definitely be heavy casualties, and it is even possible that it will still be parked outside the boundary card level now. Continue to deal with the Xiliang army. ”

The generals in the handsome hall all looked at the general with idiot eyes. I think he's asking for trouble.

After all, Li Tai's name must be repaid, but everyone knows it. If you offend this Fuhu King who will be repaid because of the momentary interest of your tongue, then it will be a little bit unworthy.

"Your Majesty, do you think what the minister said is correct?" Li Tai ignored the general, but asked Li Zhi directly.

In fact, Li Tai has already understood that all this is Li Zhi acting for himself. And that military general was definitely arranged by Li Zhi.

"I think what the Imperial Brother said is good, but if it is according to what the Imperial Brother said, then it is necessary to have advanced siege equipment. I'm afraid that no one other than the royal brother may be able to do it. Li Zhi opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"The emperor is right, unless His Royal Highness King Yan can prove that with powerful siege equipment, he can capture a city with minimal casualties. Otherwise, what His Royal Highness King Yan said would be difficult to convince the public. The military general spoke again and said to Li Tai.

"Brother Huang, it seems that if you don't come up with something real today, it will be really difficult to convince the generals." Li Zhi said to Li Tai with a smile.

"Your Majesty, that minister can only let you see is believing. Please wait for a while, and Chen will immediately take someone to arrange it. ”

"Wait a minute, the emperor will bring all the generals to pick up the outside of the Tianguan and see with his own eyes whether the legend is true." Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

This made Li Zhi very happy, so he opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "Then the imperial brother will go and prepare." After a cup of tea, I will lead all the generals to watch. ”

……

Seeing that Li Zhi led the generals to the outside of the Heavenly Pass, Li Tai opened his mouth and asked Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, the minister has already prepared everything, I don't know if I can open fire." ”

"Now that you're ready, let all the generals see what the real siege weapon is. lest they say that the royal brother is talking on paper. Li Zhi nodded and said to Li Tai.

After Li Tai nodded, he ordered someone to light the fuse. Twenty redcoat cannons fired shells out of the bore at the same time. The fiery red cannonballs flattened the opposite mountain.

This made all the generals feel extremely shocked, and they definitely didn't expect that there were such siege weapons in the world.

But if you look at the wall that was blown down by the Heavenly Pass, you can understand how Li Tai took the Heavenly Pass.

Even Xue Rengui saw this red-clothed cannon firing for the first time, which also shocked him. And said: "If there is a red-clothed cannon, even if it is the Dragon Gate Array, it is useless." ”

Then Li Tai took out another grenade and pulled the lead directly. And he threw it forward. With a loud bang, a small pit was blown out of the ground on the opposite side.

"Your Majesty, although the power of this grenade is less than that of this red-coated cannon. However, it is portable and can be used by all soldiers. I'm afraid it's not as powerful as the red-clad cannon. Xue Rengui opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

"Brother Xue is right, Brother Huang relies on these two sharp weapons. Only then did he conquer everything and be invincible. Li Zhi nodded and said to Xue Rengui.

At this time, the military general just now spoke again: "Your Majesty, this red-clothed cannon and grenade are really powerful. ”

But if it is obtained by those who have a disobedient heart, then the world will be in chaos. I'm afraid that even the emperor may not be able to successfully quell the rebellion. ”

"So the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Yan should be asked to send all the red-clothed cannons to the imperial court, and also send the method of making red-clothed cannons."

"And the emperor should also issue an edict prohibiting anyone from making these two weapons privately. Otherwise, he will be beheaded according to the crime of treason. ”
