Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2086 Invincible Firearms

"Your Majesty, You Wuwei has just delivered the victory report. The son-in-law Fang led the army to break Qibi Kele in Nuozhenshui. Tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's army were wiped out. Nuozhenshui has achieved great victory!"

The hall was silent for a moment, only the lingering voice of Wang De, the chief servant, echoed.

All the bosses who came to the door stopped in unison, looked at Wang De with an excited face, and then at the emperor who stood up from behind the desk with a "Teng", they all showed surprise.

How can this be?

Wuchuan town is more than three days away from Nuozhenshui. It will take half a month for soldiers to transmit the battle report back to Chang'an from these two places. There will inevitably be some delays, resulting in a difference of less than three days between the two groups of soldiers delivering the battle report. , or more than three days.

The most important thing is that after the capture of Wuchuan Town, Youtunwei immediately sent people back to Beijing to send the battle report, and then the whole army went north to chase Xue Yantuo's army. win.It should be that right after the battle ended, You Wuwei arrived, so this battle report was not delivered by You Tunwei, who had gone through the war, but by You Wuwei, who cleaned up the battlefield.

That is to say, after Youtunwei captured Wuchuan Town, the whole army went northward. Youwuwei had just arrived in Wuchuan Town, and when Youwuwei followed Youtunwei's footsteps to Nuozhenshui, the battle between Youtunwei and Xue Yantuo's army was over.

It can be inferred from this that the battle will not take more than half a day...

Then listen to what Wang De shouted just now?
"Nuozhenshui broke Qibi Kele, and tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's army was wiped out"...

In half a day, the tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's elite soldiers led by Qibi Kele were wiped out in the wilderness?

motherfucker!

Do you want to be so nonsense?
As a result, all the ministers stopped and looked at the emperor with surprise on their faces.

His Majesty Li Er was also shocked, he was not the Taiping Emperor who grew up in the deep palace, he also leaped on horseback to fight the enemy on the battlefield, now half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by the generals of Tiance Mansion led by him, Wenzhiwugong is not inferior to the ancient sage kings, how can he not understand the battle formation?
Just as the ministers thought, his first thought was that someone was fooling him, the emperor, and lying about his military achievements...

But after thinking about it, these two battle reports were one after the other, one was issued by Fang Jun, and the other was issued by Xue Wanche. Which of these two is the one who lied about his military achievements?Neither.If you talk about being an official in a well-behaved manner, these two people have nothing to do with each other, they are both arrogant, arrogant, domineering and arrogant sticks!

However, His Majesty Li Er dared to confirm that the loyalty and respect of these two people to him, the emperor, was much stronger than those courtiers who seemed to be well-mannered and well-behaved.

These two clubs dare to do anything when they are in a quarrel, but they will not do such things as "deceitful".

Well, he's pretty confident...

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er couldn't hide his excitement, and hurriedly said, "Where is the scout?"

Wang Dedao: "It's just outside the hall!"

"Xuan!"

"Here..." Wang De took the order, got up and walked out quickly.

His Majesty Li Er smiled and waved at the big men who were standing at the door: "Come, come, sit down for now, let's all hear about the results of the battle of You Tunwei."

Naturally, it was impossible for everyone to leave at this time. They were both surprised and excited, and they walked back to their seats one after another.His Majesty Li Er ordered the left and right servants to make tea and bring exquisite pastries, and put them on the table in front of everyone.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji, who was very upset with Fang Jun, would not say anything easily.

Previously, he only slightly questioned Fang Jun's greed and aggressiveness, but within half an hour, the news of Nuo Zhenshui's great victory came. Who knows if that stick will make another big news?Even if he wanted to trample Fang Jun to death in his heart, he had to wait until the news was confirmed before thinking about it.

Stepping on people in a daze, that's what a fool would do...

After a while, Wang De came back, followed by a dusty school lieutenant.

"Last General Youwuwei Xiaowei Wang Wendu, see Your Majesty!"

The captain was young and thin, but the fatigue on his face could hardly conceal his heroic spirit, his thick eyebrows were like knives, and his demeanor was dignified.

His Majesty Li Er took a closer look and asked, "A descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family?"

The school lieutenant Su Rong replied: "Your Majesty is wise, and the ancestor, General Xinwei, respects Lord Ye."

"General Xinwei Zun Yegong..." His Majesty Li Er pondered for a while before realizing who it was.

The Southern Liang Youwei General and Hengzhou Inspector Wang Shennian were the ancestors of the Taiyuan Wang family.Wang Sengbian, the late servant Wang Gui's grandfather, was Wang Shennian's second son. In addition, Wang Shennian's eldest son was called Wang Zunye, who had served as an official to General Xinwei.

Although it belongs to the offshoot of the Taiyuan Wang clan passed down by Wang Sengbian today, it is also a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang clan who is serious.

"That's right, a child of an aristocratic family can go through life and death outside the Great Wall without dishonoring your ancestor's prestige. It's really rare."

His Majesty Li Er praised him, and looked very pleased.

Praising, simply pulling offspring like Wang Wendu and other talented descendants of aristocratic families is his favorite thing to do all along...

Wang Wendu excitedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise! As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, he is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, and he will never hesitate to die!"

Undoubtedly, the words of the emperor will not only make his status in the family rise sharply in the future, but also his official career will go smoothly, and he will be promoted step by step.

His Majesty Li Er nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Where is the battle report?"

Wang Wendu took out the bamboo tube from his pocket and handed it to Wang De.

Wang De took out the letter paper and presented it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands. His Majesty Li Er used a small silver knife to pick up the wax again and read it carefully.

A pair of sword eyebrows danced...

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er put down the letter paper in his hand, let out a long breath, looked uplifted, patted the table, and said loudly: "Good fight!"

Then he ordered Wang De to hand over the letterhead to everyone for crossing.

The sound of letter paper rustling through the hall, everyone looked excited after reading it, and whispered to each other with the people around them.

After everyone finished watching, His Majesty Li Er showed a smile and asked: "My dear friends, what do you think about this?"

Li Jinning raised his eyebrows and asked: "It's not that I questioned this battle report, but the tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's army was so easily slaughtered by the right guards... It's really incredible. Are firearms really so terrifying? What does this minister want?" Ask the captain if he knows the details of the battle at that time?"

Not only him, but even His Majesty Li Er already felt a little unbelievable.

His natural way of firearms is powerful, and he also knows that Fang Jun has invested heavily in the development and improvement of firearms. The gun bureau in the south of the city is almost piled up with yellow gold, the best craftsman in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the best iron. It is said that the status of craftsmen is almost elevated to the extremely high treatment equal to that of scholars and officials. Once it is publicized, it will definitely shock the whole world.

However, the battle process described in the battle report still made His Majesty Li Er unbelievable.

If the firearms are really so powerful, from now on, wouldn't the brave Hu clan cavalry be as weak as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Tang army holding firearms?
Even more than that, even ordinary old and weak women and children who can master firearms can still inflict heavy damage on barbarians!

The firearm is easy to operate and powerful, anyone can operate it...

His Majesty Li Er said kindly to Wang Wendu: "Your is the captain of Youwuwei, and he must have never participated in this battle. Do you know the details?"

Wang Wendu respectfully replied: "Although the last general did not personally participate in the battle, he rushed to the battlefield after the battle and cleaned up the battlefield with the guards of the right village who stayed behind to dispose of the enemy's corpses. The good report was submitted to His Majesty by me instead of You Tunwei after we discussed and sorted it out in detail, so we know the details of what happened."

So, above the main hall, he recounted in detail the battle process he heard from the guards in the right village.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it!

Almost everyone is aware that perhaps starting from the battle of Nuozhenshui, the form of war has undergone earth-shaking changes.In the past, the horse raids and the two armies met and the brave won. In the face of the raging firearms, they collapsed like gunpowder blowing up a city wall.

No matter how brave the army is, it is impossible to block the attack of firearms with flesh and blood. In the face of gunpowder, I am afraid that there is no city in the world that is as solid as gold and solid as a rock.

If firearms proliferate and every country in the world equips them, the outcome of a war will no longer be determined by the quality of soldiers and the strategy of generals, but by the number of troops, logistical supplies, and the population base of the empire.

To a certain extent, as long as the population reaches a level sufficient to crush neighboring countries, and the country has sufficient strategic depth, then it is invincible after being equipped with firearms.

But now, in the whole world, only Datang possesses the manufacturing technology of firearms, and the population of Datang is the highest among all countries. Doesn't it mean that as long as the development of firearms continues, Datang will be invincible in the world?

Then something more important happened.

When foreign enemies no longer need to be afraid, you must keep your eyes on your side, and beware of internal undercurrents...
