Fish swimming around the world

In this battle, Jiang Fan was not stingy, and the artillery shells and thunder were thrown out without any money, and the results were against the will of heaven. Generally speaking, the siege party had at least more than three times the strength of the defending party. However, The four strongest camps in Wei State relied on Wendengjian City, but they left most of the casualties and escaped without even resisting for a day.

The Yuzhou Army obviously wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory. The Shentu cavalry swept the wind and did not give the other party a chance to rest. They chased the other party all the way to the second largest city in Dengzhou, and stopped chasing the other party until the other party closed the city gate.

But he did not stop and wait for the baggage to catch up and attack the city, but retreated directly to Wendeng.

After that, the Yuzhou Army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, but settled down in Wendeng City.

Not long after, people who learned the news speculated whether the siege weapons were exhausted.

There is no denying that there are reasons for this.

Indeed, Yuzhou did not have much reserves of Mount Li firearms, and most of them were left to the main force of the Qin army. In this battle, due to Jiang Fan's purpose of establishing his authority and deterrence, the ammunition was consumed in real great detail, but the reserves could at least support several major battles.

So, the most important reason is that Jiang Fan wanted to stay in Wendeng.

After all, without the Qin army, it would be unrealistic to rely solely on a Yuzhou to attack the Wei land.

As long as this is done, the King of Wei will be frightened and thus restrain his investment in the frontal battlefield. If he no longer advanced in depth, he would not have completely exaggerated the King of Wei and would have prevented him from fighting for life and death with all his might in the battle between Qin Xia.

In this way, you can concentrate on attacking the Xia Kingdom, encircle it within the Xia Kingdom, defeat the four-sided alliance in one battle, and then calmly manage other forces.

In fact, there is another very important point. The Empress and Jiang Fan both have a sense of awareness. When possible, try not to cause too much loss. After all, in their opinion, they will be their own people in the future.

Of course, the complexity of things is not only that. For example, if Qin can support Xia and Wei to start wars simultaneously, it is not impossible to continue to fight like this. But the result is obvious. Jin, Chu and Chen, the princes who jointly attacked Xia, were designated as members of the princes who jointly attacked Xia. Back to defense due to concerns. This will break the strategy of using alliances to fight the alliance. We can't force all princes to consider the threat of the Qin Dynasty first.

Therefore, he wants to create two cognitions.

First, there are many firearms in Mount Li. This kind of battle is completely for deterrence, and it is impossible to use it all the time.

Second, Qin State was unable to support the war on the two major countries at the same time.

For this reason, he specially ordered Wu Qu to no longer use the Lishan firearm in the next battle, but there was no need to play the life-long attack on the city, just act like a show.

However, Feng Huayu understood that guarding the city was not his own strength at all. After learning from his mistakes, he decided to show what he was best at to save the situation.

He personally led 30,000 light cavalry and launched raids on the Yuzhou Army. He could even fight against Shentu cavalry.

So much so that after several subsequent battles, Fengziying actually defended the last strong city in Dengzhou. The reinforcements arrived and the two sides entered a confrontation.

But at this moment, Wei State changed defense again, Cao Zijian was ordered to be in danger, and Jiang Fan's opponent became Cao Er Gongzi and his Fire Camp.

What surprised Jiang Fan was that this time it was really hard to fight.

Cao Zijian was very stable. He not only guarded the city, but also used the Canglan Waterway and familiarity with the terrain of Dengzhou to attack the two roads, and also carried out uninterrupted harassment on the Yuzhou Army. This strategy was very effective and even forced the Yuzhou Army to repair it. Wendeng City Wall.

But there are three things that he is really powerful. First, Cao Yuan brought the 1,000 sets of formation weapons. These things are obviously from the hands of everyone, and they can actually shoot down hot air balloons altitudes of hundreds of feet, with amazing range and power.

Although the consumption is also huge, with Cao Zijian's financial resources, it is no problem to support it for a long time. Jiang Fan does not want to consume too much.

Then there is the special combat weapon of the Fire Character Camp. Just as the Wei Guofeng Battalion is actually best at cavalry combat, the Huozi Battalion is best at using firearms.

They have both long-range attack firearms, such as rocket crossbows, and melee firearms, such as fires that can be ignited on the blade, but these applications can be said to be rough, and in Jiang Fan's opinion, it is just a fire. Even his giant fire crossbows have a long range and great power, but they have a huge loading and limited number.

The really powerful one is the ghost fire phosphorus bomb. This is a kind of meatballs the size of a pigeon egg-shot fired by a single soldier. After hitting a person, he can quickly burn his whole body and rush to death like a magic flame.

The worst thing is that this thing has a very long range, and the ordinary launcher can shoot out dozens of feet, while the three-foot-long large catapult that the two cooperate can shoot out hundred feet.

It is said that this was something that the Qi refiners in the Wei Kingdom discovered during the alchemy process. Later, King Wu of Wei ordered the weapon refiners to design mechanical weapons and used them in combat.

This thing reminds Jiang Fan again that this is a martial arts world. Different ideas lead to various mysterious things. Even in the mortal world, the battle tools of Mount Li are not absolutely unique.

Third, it is a surprise weapon. It is called the Marquis of Me.

Later, Jiang Fan learned that this was a purely long-range combat force built by Cao Laoer secretly with the money he earned. There are not many people, only three thousand. But these three thousand people are all good at operating long-range array weapons or machine weapons, and are equipped with fast horses, coming and going like the wind.

Although they could not consume formation weapons for a long time, those mechanism weapons surprised Jiang Fan very much. Especially the dovetail boomerang that can hover for more than a hundred feet and still has lethality, and the cross-cut diamond that specializes in armor-breaking.

Each of these two things is a set of launching equipment, which can carry fifty rounds. After training, these powerful elite soldiers can launch multiple rounds in a short period of time, and then withdraw their troops immediately without entanglement.

Although these two things do not pose any threat to high-level warriors, they are still very lethal to ordinary soldiers.

However, they were still not as good as the Lishan war weapon. After several sniping by special forces, they soon lost more than half.

But this also made Jiang Fan understand that worries have turned into reality, and many people have indeed been thinking about how to deal with the Lishan war weapon.

And the damn Cao Laoer is undoubtedly the guy who took the lead in this path because of his familiarity.

In fact, he understood that it was inevitable. This is how people are. It’s okay if you don’t let them see it. Once you see it, there will always be someone trying to imitate or prevent it.

It was not until this time that Jiang Fan understood more and more that the Empress wanted to draw out multiple forces to a decisive battle in a phased battle. Nothing could have been without restraint. What he had to do was to do before this method appeared. Probably exert its most powerful power.
