Chapter 973 The Commander-in-Chief Meeting of the Armies
At noon on February 5th in the fifth year of Tianxuan, the heroes of various armies had a carnival in the tavern opposite the lord's hut. After the lord's hut and territory were upgraded in Yihou territory, the opposite tavern was also upgraded simultaneously. Now it can accommodate 500 people Carnival at the same time.
Although the atmosphere in the tavern was heated, a few heroes calmly maintained restraint.
On February 5th, 5th day of Tianxuan at 1:00 pm, in a small conference room on the third floor of the lord's hut, Qu Mao, Kong Ming, Xuande, Xinpin, Su Qiaoer, Silta Delta, Suli, and Zhao Pan , Sylvia Ocean, Zhang Da, Su Buqing and Sophie Trani and more than a dozen heroes gathered together and began to discuss with serious expressions.
Although when the meeting was notified, almost all the heroes at the meeting had given the information about Gunpowder to the heroes present, but when the official meeting started, Xinping still had to convey the information about Gunpowder and the Principality of Pengda to all the heroes present at the meeting.
After all, in the conference room, Silta Delta, Su Li, Su Buqing, and Sophie Trani didn’t know the information about gunpowder very well, while Kong Ming and Sylvia Oceano knew the information about gunpowder most completely.
So after Xinping introduced the information about gunpowder art, Sylvia Oshin introduced to the heroes present the changes in the form of warfare that gunpowder would bring to the navy and army with a more serious expression.
After listening to Sylvia Ocean's description, Zhao Pan scratched his head and asked, "Master, after gunpowder is used in military affairs, is it really as powerful as what Sylvia Lord said?"
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Zhao Pan, the actual situation is as good as Sylvia's description, the gate of the fifth-tier city wall should not be able to withstand a solid iron bullet fired by a cannon using gunpowder.
Even if the wall of the fifth-tier city wall is hit by the solid iron bullets of the artillery three times in a row, it will definitely be blasted into a gap.
If there is a howitzer or cannon, maybe firing a shell from five kilometers away can tear a gap about 20 meters wide on the fifth-tier city wall. "
Zhao Pan first took a breath of air, and then said excitedly: "My lord, if there is such a thing, then my subordinates believe that there is a fifth-tier heavy cavalry force of about 20,000 people. Basically, there is nothing in this world that can stop us." The walls are gone.
Use artillery to tear open the gap in the city wall, and lead the fifth-tier heavy cavalry to charge without thinking. "
Qu Mao rolled his eyes, glared at Zhao Pan, and said: "When gunpowder can be applied to artillery, there will naturally be other lighter individual gunpowder weapons.
After the appearance of gunpowder, the cavalry needs to gradually withdraw from the military sequence. If gunpowder weapons are available, the cavalry will charge in a concentrated manner, which is no different from courting death. "
Zhang Da said: "My lord, since gunpowder is so powerfully used in military affairs, my subordinates think that we must keep that kind of thing in our Yihou territory.
If we need to take the initiative to break out the main mainland war again at the end of March, the subordinates suggest directly attacking the Principality of Pengda, isn’t it more than 1,600 short? We have so many high-level soldiers, are we afraid that we won't be able to defeat the Principality of Pengda? "
Su Buqing also said: "My lord, otherwise the main continental battle should wait until the beginning of July in the fifth year of Tianxuan. At that time, the navy will transport the army, garrison army and even the imperial guards to the west coast of the eastern continent, and directly launch a landing operation against the Principality of Pengda. .
Sophie Trani thought for a long time, and said: "My lord, the gunpowder you said is so powerful, but my subordinates feel that magicians are not as good as gunpowder except for the attack range. The rest of the things that gunpowder can do, our magic army can definitely do." arrive.
The combat strategy Master Su Buqing said just now is very enlightening. If the navy can transport us there, I believe that the combined force of the Army, Garrison, Imperial Guard and Magic Army can take the entire territory of Pengda Principality within three months. "
Sylvia Ocean said: "The navy is also inclined to Master Su Buqing's opinion, but the territory of the Principality of Pengda is at least equivalent to a medium-sized kingdom, so don't take it lightly.
If you have to wait until the beginning of July to launch an attack, I think the navy basically has the combat capability to independently land and conquer the city, and then the coastal cities can be handed over to the navy..."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "There is no need to continue spreading. In fact, the lord's hut has been discussing for several days. The conclusion is that the Principality of Pengda will not be moved for the time being. At least until we launch the next main continental war, we will not take the initiative to find it. Unhappiness in the Principality of Pengda.
Since the Principality of Pengda has gunpowder research going on, the target of our next mainland battle in Yihou Territory is likely to be the Principality of Green Wings or the Kingdom of Dali. "
Su Li said: "My lord, it is not clear how far Pengda Dukedom has researched gunpowder. Can our intelligence personnel try to buy some finished gunpowder with a lot of money and come back to reverse research?"
Zhao Pan said: "It's a lot of money to buy a fart. Our Yihou territory is already in a state of continuous shortage of gold coins. Why don't we find some special forces soldiers to sneak into the Principality of Pengda, or steal or rob..."
Qu Maodao: "Zhao Pan, our fight against the aborigines is completely different from the fight against the Lords of the Chosen players. You must be mentally prepared."
Zhao Pandao: "My lord, no matter what kind of enemy, our Yihou Territory Army has never been afraid, we will completely tear them apart..."
Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said, "Zhao Pan, you should first consider withdrawing troops from the Marquis of Gillette, Marquis of Jili, Marquis of Napoleon and Marquis of Moner, including the army's wounded soldiers who recover and return to the army. How many troops do you have, and whether it can be replenished to 2 million troops by the end of March, I am actually not confident."
Silta Delta said: "My lord, if Master Zhang Da is willing to take out some of the horses captured by Marquis Moner, Master Zhao Pan should be able to pull up a group of horses in a short time. More than 200,000 Tier 4 light cavalry troops..."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "The army not only has cavalry corps, but also long-range corps, free corps and special warfare corps. The special warfare corps is currently in the incubation stage and can be ignored for now, but the long-range corps and free corps have to be Think ahead.
Even if 200,000 fourth-tier light cavalry are piled up, I estimate that the army's shortage of high-level fighters is still around 1 million. "
Zhao Pan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Qu Mao helplessly, and said, "My lord..."
Qu Mao directly waved his hand and said: "Zhao Pan, you can find a way by yourself, I can't collect so many recruitment tickets for high-level fighters for the time being.
In addition, don’t reveal the content of today’s meeting to your deputy commander-in-chief for the time being. I’m worried that too many people will know, and everyone can’t help themselves from fighting the Principality of Pengda. "
All the heroes said in unison: "Yes, my lord."
