I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 127
Seeing that no matter how much he harassed, he couldn't lure the enemy to take the lead, so there was no way to go deep and attack.

Each team can only garrison and repair in place, but every morning, noon and night, they will send people to do things to prevent the other party from repairing the city wall.

And set up checkpoints to strictly prevent the refugees from sticking to their feet. As long as they are suspected of being spies or scouts, they will be arrested on the spot. If there is no problem, they will be allowed to detour and leave, but they cannot cross the defense line and enter Yingzhou and other places.

Yue Fei sent the latest battle information to the palace.

Qin Mu was very happy to hear that, "Next, I guess North Korea can't take it anymore, and will propose peace negotiations."

However, something was written at the back of the letter that attracted everyone's attention.

"North Korea is secretly researching gun manufacturing, and the peace talks may be a cover, and more than [-] soldiers have already crossed the Yalu River and are heading for the Governor's Mansion in Gewi Prefecture."

"The situation is not good. Prime Minister Zhuge, you should go immediately and arrange for all the armament factories to speed up production, and make full preparations to slow down the production of steam locomotives, guns, explosives, and artillery. That area is really not suitable for heavy firepower."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while, "Go, tell Wu Bingzhong, drag out the latest experimental weapon for me, put it into the battlefield, and treat it as a field experiment!"

"King Xian, that... that thing."

Zhuge Liang was astonished.

The new type of weapon that King Xian said was actually modified from a steam excavator. The design of the artillery was changed and it crashed into a car, similar to a tank!
It's just that the speed of travel is slow, because the crawler is very suitable for harsh areas, and the most important thing is that it can also be used as a shield!

The method of cooperating with tanks and tanks is almost destructive!

"Needless to say, it's all experiments. Experiments on the battlefield are faster and the results are better. Send ten vehicles to the front line first. In addition, let the logistics group increase the logistics delivery capacity."

"Your Majesty, according to the current situation, the logistics transportation can be accelerated to Youzhou at most. The railways in Pingzhou, Yingzhou and other places have not been repaired yet."

"Then speed up, give me more funds, and let private enterprises participate in the construction, but the main section is still in charge of the engineering department."

"Yes!"

At night, at 08:30, the palace held an emergency meeting again.

The participants were representatives from various war zones, and almost all of them were staff officers, that is, the title changed from the position of military division.

"Everyone, the situation has changed. The frontline troops may be counterattacked by the North Korean army. The emaciated camels are bigger than horses. We must make strict preparations. In addition, some special forces sent to Tubo will be withdrawn and sent to the Gaodong area to fight. .”

In just a few days, the entire twenty states were extremely busy, and the checkpoints were strictly guarded.

The people thought that another war was about to break out. Soldiers and equipment were transported by steam trains overnight.

On land, countless horse-drawn carriages and steam trucks continuously transfer materials from various places.

Such a situation made the atmosphere of war extremely strong.

In the private sector, prices have fluctuated again and again. The prices of grain, metal smelting, and textile industries have risen again and again.

The marketing department urgently invested in storage materials to stabilize prices.

And issued a call to give priority to the supply of military supplies, and all production capacity of the private sector will be assigned to the production of military equipment.

A large number of scouts, spies, and spies wandered around, constantly sending back new news.

Zhuge Liang was even more busy, and the number of auxiliary officials under him had increased to more than ten.

"Pay close attention to the situation in Tubo, give priority to the situation in Gaodong, trade, etc. In addition, King Xian and General Yue have already arranged a large number of snipers into the battlefield. Faced with the last failure, North Korea dared to launch a counterattack. It must have found restraint. Our solution!"

"Prime Minister, in this regard, we have arranged for people to infiltrate and start investigating. I believe Master Lin will send news soon."

"Ah."

For a while, the Hebei Road area fell into a state of emergency combat readiness.

This area is a good line, starting from the Puzhou hub and ending at the end of Gaodong.

No one expected that a country that had already taken the initiative to negotiate peace would hide its means and want to counterattack.

Qin Mu also thought for the first time that he had made a mistake in his decision-making.

At the beginning, they should directly agree to negotiate!
By the early morning of the next day, there were already more than [-] large trucks on the battlefield, constantly carrying artillery and scattered for defense.

Snipers penetrated into the hinterland of the two states in a triangle through camouflage, and assassinated key officials, especially the generals in the army.

The engineering troops were even busier. For the construction of the railways in Youzhou, Pingzhou, and Yingzhou, there were almost three shifts and they never stopped.

Build bridges when encountering water, and open roads when encountering mountains.

In the mountain stream, the violent explosion has already made the people numb.

The bombed-out mountain peaks became flat ground, and tunnels were blown out in areas that were difficult to excavate.

The production of cement began to explode, and it was continuously transported to the front line to build roads, residences, and border defenses.

The new equipment that Yue Fei was looking forward to the most was finally in place.

It has been half a month later, and North Korea has remained silent in the face of any harassment and has not taken the initiative to attack.

However, Liaocheng Prefecture Dudufu and other places are closely guarded.

Even, at the threat of being shot, a large amount of explosives were placed around the city to prevent Yue Fei's troops from advancing.

Although these explosives are not as good as those produced in Lingzhou, their large quantity and power cannot be underestimated.

Yue Fei brought his troops to Yingzhou, and saw five brand new "tanks" in the barracks!
Huge truck, at least looks bigger than a modern tank.

There is no way, the power plant and protective equipment are too heavy and too big, and the real firepower is not much.

This appearance and weight are exactly the design of a heavy tank, but in fact it is manufactured according to a light tank.

120mm caliber, with hydraulic shock absorbers.

The huge crawlers on both sides are so high that even a person standing there looks extremely short.

"The wise king said that this thing should not be called a tank, but a steam locomotive!"

Yue Fei patted the metal surface and laughed.

"It's really like it. It's just that the truck has changed its tracks and added a turret. I just don't know how it is in actual combat?"

"General Yue, this time I brought technical staff to guide me, and a group of soldiers who participated in the experiment. They know best how to use tanks and infantry to fight together."

"Thank you for your hard work. A room has been prepared for you. Go and rest first."

"Yes!"

After being inspected by technicians, the five tanks were refilled with fuel, shells and other things.

A loader, a lookout, a power controller, a primary driver, and a co-pilot.

Five people can control a tank.

After two days of rest, a new round of harassment and sniping began.

The soldiers discovered a situation as soon as they entered the battlefield, and immediately arranged for someone to describe the news clearly, and drew a picture and sent it to the barracks.

Yue Fei frowned as he looked at the document in his hand.

"What is this fire-breathing thing?"

"Cannon! It's a very primitive type, similar to an enlarged version of a firecracker, but it's powerful!"
