I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 355 This is strength

It's very urgent to go back to Bianliang, but seeing such signs, it's not so urgent to go back to Bianliang.

Zhao Xi also had to do it.

At this time, he was really moved. Sure enough, the people who knew this era best were the people of this era.

In Zhao Xi's heart, what he has now, whether it's power or prestige, it really doesn't make any difference to him whether he has the title of emperor or not.

The general trend has come, and he doesn't think that anyone can really shake him to inherit the great rule.

I didn't expect it to be really fanciful.

Well, take this opportunity to show off your muscles.

Therefore, Zhao Xi did not accept the strategy written by Lu Gong, including the guidance of the guard battalion, who advised him to escape the shell.

"Your Highness, since Tongguan is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and on the mountainside in the south, when the track was laid, unless the Guancheng was demolished, it would not be able to parallel the official road at all."

"So, the track around Tongguan is far away from the south of Tongguan, eight miles away, in a low depression on a ridge, and the mountain was laid by blasting."

"That section, about 25 miles away, is in the mountains, and there are basically no people. For this reason, a barracks for orbital guards was specially built. [-] orbital guards are stationed daily, and they are responsible for the orbital guarding of this area. .”

Well, it should be here.

Zhao Xi heard Li Jie talk about the situation when the track was laid along the road, and basically believed that the other party would ambush in Tongguan.

Further to the east, although Xingyang also has such a situation, it is already close to Luoyang, the western capital, and it is Gyeonggi-do.There are very few uninhabited places.

Tongguan will be the opponent's only chance.

"Cao Lin, Zhong Yi..."

"The end is here!"

"The two of you led ten thousand and five new troops, marched along the track, and abandoned the car when they reached Huayin Station. Lead the army to the north, hide and advance, and deploy defenses along the north side of the Tongguan track."

"Your Highness, the number of [-] is enough."

Fifteen thousand is not much, but Cao Lin considered that the rail carriages would bear the brunt, so more soldiers should be left on the carriages.

"No need! It's feasible, Gao Jingxian..."

"The end is here!"

"The two of you led a new army of [-], and set off two hours later. When you arrive at Huayin Station, turn to the national road. When you are in Tongguan City, leave some soldiers to guard the carriage, and the rest will attack from south to north and deploy at Tongguan. Around the southern line of the track."

"The convoy will start three hours after you leave, that is to say, you must form a two-sided attack on the Tongguan track within three hours."

"At that time, the sound of the artillery will be the order. When you hear the sound of the convoy's counterattack, you will lead the army to destroy it."

"If the convoy is not ambushed along the Tongguan track, everyone will be notified to return with the sound of cannons. Let's act!"

Be prepared for battle.At this time, it is impossible to tell who is ready.

It's a pity that the opponent's plan to expand the scope of rumors beyond the ambush location is the biggest loophole.

If Zhao Xi hadn't heard those rumors at Mawei Station, an ambush along the Tongguan track might really make him rush.

As for the accident, Zhao Xi really didn't think about it, so there was no need for it.

That kind of result is nothing more than that there will be more casualties in a hasty fight, and it is impossible to capture the opponent.

Now, Zhao Xi didn't simply want to pass through safely, he wanted to capture all of these rogue officials and thieves, and try to dig out the people behind the scenes as much as possible.

To treat ministers and clan members, suspicion alone is not enough, strong evidence is needed.

Very good, someone sent it here.

The track guards need to constantly patrol the tracks they guard.This way, the track that the convoy passed was like this, which is why Zhao Xi believed that the track was controlled by himself.

After entering the mountains near Tongguan, there was no orbital soldier patrolling. In other words, the 25 orbital soldiers were probably gone.

It seems that the other party is really planning to play an ambush in Tongguan.

"Your Highness, move to the last carriage. Soldiers are not afraid to charge, but once the opponent has gunpowder..."

"Zirong, tell Uncle Hui's workshop about the production regulations for gunpowder and ammunition."

If it was really possible for the opponent to get the gunpowder bullets, even Zhao Xi would not dare to be arrogant enough to enter the opponent's attack area like this.

"Uncle Hui, Your Highness has strict regulations on the production of firearms. The reason why Ming Zhong and I were busy during the expedition to the west was not to cooperate with Qinzhou officials to record credit, but to set the consumption of all firearms."

"Every musket, every wheel cannon produced in the workshop city, including every gunpowder shell, is numbered. Only the craftsman responsible for the finished product in the workshop city and us know the marking method."

"So far, no gunpowder bombs have been lost. Even if they didn't explode on the battlefield, the soldiers of the new army know that they must be recovered and handed in."

"The track soldiers hold muskets, and the firearms are lethal to the rail carriage... The rail soldiers' spare ammunition is steel ball bullets, which can only leave marks on the baffle of the rail carriage. Unless the distance is within five meters, otherwise they cannot Break through the fender."

This time it was not His Royal Highness's special carriage, but a carriage for the usual transportation of armaments, or purely freight and passenger carriage.

If it is His Royal Highness's special carriage, it is comparable to the strength of a chariot, not to mention muskets, even gunpowder bullets can't hurt it at all.

It is said that he has already entered the opponent's ambush area at this time, and this ambush should also come...

coming……

When doing unrighteous things, always hide the head and the tail.

"Sakyamuni fell, and Maitreya ruled the world!"

When hearing this roar, Zhao Xi suddenly felt bored.

I really look down on these family members of my own.

If you rebel, you rebel, you have to find this kind of excuse.

If it's an upright fight, whether it's tricks or ambushes, it's still a bit challenging.

What is this?
Do you really think that with this Maitreya excuse, you can stay out of the matter?

"Don't do it first, let them play for a while, let them know what despair is, and then tell them what strength is."

"But there is one thing to be careful about. Don't let the person with the musket get close."

Boring, really boring.

Whether it's arrows or knives, no one can do anything against the rail carriage.

This is still just the skin wrapped in manganese steel. Even so, the arrows can only leave some marks on the baffle.

It was chopped with a knife and stabbed with a gun, but there was no damage to the entire track carriage.

They are still planning to bombard them with wheels, it seems that they are really looking up to them.

All the carriages pulled back the boards about one person high, and looked at these people surrounding them like they were watching a monkey show.

Watching them clanging and chopping on the fender of the carriage...

"Fire a cannon and start arresting people!"

This battle was not challenging at all, only one cannon, following the line fired by the wheel cannon, opened up a large area, and the sound of the cannon made the whole person who called Maitreya Chishi stunned, just like that.

Suddenly, all the carriages opened in unison, and the heavily armed new army held muskets, and each carried a base number of gunpowder shells...

It's a bit like shells hitting mosquitoes.

It's not a big deal, it's like a frying pan, it's all messed up, I hate my parents for not giving me a few more legs, and I ran around like crazy.

"It's the same when Xixia people are bombarded?"

"Your Highness, there is not much difference."

In the face of strength, strategy is really useless.
