"Dingxing should not stay for a long time, take less rest and set off immediately," the old emperor discussed with Wei Yang, "I am always worried."

His meaning was to ask Wei Yang to send people to the capital.

Wei Yang said, "Your Majesty may be too worried about Wang Shouren. With him here, the kings in the capital dare not move."

"But what I am afraid of is the arrival of the Tatars." The old emperor looked at the Western Army and was a little worried.

He told Wei Yang clearly: "The Western Army cannot cause too much damage at this time!"

Wei Yang thought about it and asked the passing veterans of the central army to come over.

The old emperor was puzzled. Could it be that they still had some secret weapons?

"Take out all your weapons." Wei Yang said.

The old man immediately jumped on another war horse that he had not ridden, but opened the package that looked like a war knife bag on the back of the war horse he was riding.

The old emperor took a look and took a breath of air conditioning.

Then there is no war knife, it is clearly a meticulously crafted musket inside!

"The flintlock rifle uses lead-wrapped steel round-head bullets, one round at a time, and is easy to load. It can be arranged in a camp, and three volleys can be used to load one round," Wei Yang said. "This flintlock rifle can be designed on horseback with a range of thirty steps."

So close?

No, the old emperor thought that such a range was far enough.

What are the Tatars good at?

Riding a horse and shooting archery!

But compared to the Western Army, riding a horse and shooting archery? Who is full and you are more riding a horse and shooting archery?

The cannons were fired in a round of salvo, which was a large-caliber artillery shooting.

Among the Western Army's equipment, large-caliber artillery is naturally a commonly used artillery type equipped by professional artillery units at the field army level and even the front-level professional artillery units.

The old emperor did not know that the conscience-free cannons have now been equipped with the entire army. According to Wei Yang's shooting, they loaded marching supplies with iron buckets. They opened them before the battle and quickly installed the artillery mounts. In addition, the artillery troops quickly dug soil pits and designed the conscience-free cannons. If anyone is unlucky to run into these troops, then wait, let alone the people and even the war horses will shatter you.

After the first round of volleys, there were rapid-fire guns equipped by each field army, each army, and each garrison first-level combat units. Wei Yang did not have the ability to design recoilless guns, nor howitzers were designed. However, after watching too many anti-Japanese dramas, I still remember the gun types used by Japanese slaves who lived a good life. Of course, the shells of this era cannot be compared with hundreds of years later. However, the Western Army designed various types of shotguns and solid bombs equipped with ammunition separately. After firing, rockets with a secondary ignition range of more than 500 steps in the air can be equipped with a new mortar designed and produced by the Ordnance Bureau.

This round of shooting is often the first round of shooting. The Western Front has not been dispatched after it was formed, so the artillery troops directly under the Front are still being formed.

But this time, the Western Army used a cavalry unit that was formed by the collapse of the Tatars.

Immediately afterwards, the light artillery carried by the frontier troops, just as the troops escorting the imperial carriage to the east, followed by the third round of volleys.

Those who can withstand these three rounds of volleys will immediately face the volley of muskets that the Western cavalry quickly approached. After a volley of about thirty steps, the cavalry troops will completely defeat the side troops and the Western infantry troops will attack the enemy's main force head-on.

If you dare to gather, you can serve the artillery.

If you dare to escape, then the cavalry will chase you.

Heavy cavalry breaking out?

Which one is going to collide with your heavy cavalry head-on, and if you don’t have a conscience, you will be shattered even if you wear the ancestral lock golden armor.

Wei Yang set out this time to bring 30,000 people, but after arriving in Luoyang, he asked some to retreat. He now has 20,000 troops, all of which are cavalry.

The old emperor was originally worried about what to do if Wei Yang's troops were besieged, but now he didn't say anything when he saw this equipment.

The only possibility that the Western Army could not do anything about is that the amount of ammunition carried too little.

Not afraid of this.

The caravans had been waiting everywhere, and some caravans had even buried their ammunition near the capital in advance.

There will be a continuous stream of caravans to deliver combat supplies to the army, and the caravans are also an extremely powerful force. It can even be said that Wei Yang can gather together to perform various tactics at any time.

"You have 20,000 troops on hand. As long as you have sufficient ammunition, 200,000 people will not do anything to you." The old emperor felt relieved.

Wei Yang said: "If you really want to fight, who will fight a position with them? Our army can fight a two-person and three-person cavalry during the battle. There are many plains at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. Why should I fight a position with them?"

"Aren't it just one man and two horses?" The old emperor was stunned.

He clearly saw that everyone in the Western Army was the third horse that came from the two horses?

"Whoever is our opponent is our third horse." Wei Yang said it for granted.

The old emperor was so angry that he simply ignored it.

Originally, he thought that Wei Yang was relying on the impact ability of the cavalry, but later he thought that the artillery carried by the Western Army had a certain combat power. Now, when he saw the flintlock guns equipped by the old soldiers of the Western Army, he realized what kind of monster Wei Yang had turned the Western Army into.

But he didn't know that the most powerful thing in the Western Army was not what he saw.

Nowadays, the grassland in the south of the desert is covered with ice and snow. On the snowy field, there are teams of caravans, baggage troops, and even regular combat troops on the road that has been walking out over the years, which are constantly sending resources of combat objects to the direction of the capital.

The old prince was not completely relieved of the old emperor. As early as September, he judged that Wei Yang would escort the imperial carriage back to the east, and thousands of people had already piled up near the capital, which was enough for Wei Yang to fight in the capital for a month to consume combat supplies, and then the Western Army's intelligence station was established.

Wei Yang looked at the sky and asked the geography officers in the army to ask. Geography officers are generally talents with rich geographical knowledge and good understanding of weather changes. On the one hand, they should inform the weather conditions for the daily marching, and on the other hand, they should build bridges over mountains and ridges during the marching. They also need to survey the on-site environment.

In addition, they had a secret mission, wherever they marched, they would draw the terrain of which place they would be a military map. The dozens of geomancers brought by Weiyang along the way were all busy.

"The weather is not very good, there are many rivers here and there are plains, so it may snow." The geomancer's suggestion was to speed up the march.

You can't delay your efforts any more.

"Then don't stay in Dingxing City, rest for six hours and set off in the middle of the night." Wei Yang ordered the front army to inform Wang Shouren, "Where is his troops? Ask clearly where they need to make up for it, and we need to discuss with our army."

While speaking, he arrived outside the city gate and Wang Shouren bowed three times to welcome him.

The old emperor asked Wang Shouren to board the car, but asked Huaien to warn the local magistrate, saying: "The imperial carriage does not stop, and you should set off if you have less rest. There is no need to be extravagant, but just clean up the county government."

While arranging personnel, the county magistrate ordered people to send messages to the capital quickly. This was done publicly and there was no need to hide it.

Wang Shouren looked around and didn't see Wei Yang. He was surprised. Mou Bin caught up from behind and reported: "Old Emperor, Yang Yiqing has a military report."

oh?

The emperor was overjoyed, but he heard Mou Bin say, "The general stopped him and said that if the old emperor saw it, he might misjudgment the situation in the southeast."

Um?

"The general judged that Yang Yiqing might win military battles and lose politically." Mou Bin quickly explained, "The general is ordering people to draft a letter, and we will discuss it with the old emperor for a moment."

This is almost the same.
