Chapter 3904: Set ambush

State of Chu, Ministry of National Defense. The Secretary of Defense is looking at a report in his hand.

"Is this report true?" the Secretary of Defense asked a lieutenant colonel.

"Yes, sir, the contents above are all true and reliable. These contents have been confirmed, and there are confessions." said the lieutenant colonel.

"But I didn't see the physical evidence." The Defense Minister said cautiously. This matter is very important. They can use this to accuse each other, but this does not make much sense. They want to find evidence related to Qi from other places. They want to use this as a basis for the Qi people to withdraw from their support for the cotton people, because the support of the Qi people has greatly extended the time of the Chu country to fight the cotton people. This is the most annoying place.

"Sir, I believe that the frontline will have relevant results soon, and they will definitely do something like this. But what we need is time. As long as we have enough time, we can achieve this goal." Lieutenant Colonel Speaking of.

The Secretary of Defense didn't want to explain any more. Because what the lieutenant colonel did was meaningless, he knew that all wars can only be ended by letting the Qi people withdraw from the war, and the key to the war is that the Qi people are planting Yapian, and they are unwilling to give up such an area to plant them. Yapian, this is the contradiction. Chu people get cash crops, tea, sugar cane, etc., while Qi people also get what they want. Yapian, both sides are growing what they need. The problem is that there are conflicts between the region they are in and the relevant population. This matter seems to be moving towards a situation of entanglement, which is a situation that no one wants to face. The Secretary of Defense does not want this situation to happen. The only thing he can do is to suggest and provide some better suggestions to resolve disputes with each other. For example, diplomatic means, the two sides reach a settlement agreement, but this requires some military victory as a basis. .

These are areas that the military does not know.

In Goguryeo, the Qingshan area where the Yan Kingdom confronts, more and more troops are gathering here. Yan Guo is also, but they did not increase reinforcements, they have no reinforcements to adjust, in general, their situation is a kind of balance.

"The battlefield is too quiet. I don't know how long this quiet situation can last." Li Zuoche said, looking at the situation on the battlefield.

"We haven't declared war yet. Today the division was meeting. They actually said such a thing. The two countries have been fighting for such a long time. The two countries have been fighting for such a long time. I can hardly believe that there is still a meeting. It's hard to believe that such a thing happens." Luo Ping said.

"Haha." Li Zuoche has already heard of some of these things. According to diplomatic relations, the two sides are still at peace, and the previous battles were at best self-defense. The two sides still have not yet begun a large-scale war, but everyone knows that such a war is inevitable in the future. Because both sides have this kind of demand. No one knows where the end of this war is.

"Don't complain. We should exercise restraint and not fire the first shot, which is good." Li Zuoche persuaded.

"Don't shoot the first shot, **** it, I want to shoot the first shot right now. This kind of thing is too awkward. What kind of thing is this. Why can't we shoot the first shot? Only allow the Yan people to shoot, we It’s simply too unfair to not shoot.” Luo Ping scolded.

"I can't do anything about this kind of thing. This is a diplomatic need." Li Zuoche could only explain it in diplomatic terms. This kind of explanation is useless. Both sides are suppressing the possibility of an emotional outburst. This possibility will also bring them great trouble, but this is the most helpless thing. If they do not do this, the two sides will suddenly ignite a huge war.

Compared with the calm on the battlefield of Goguryeo, the battlefield of the Carthaginians was much more lively.

"Wow. Boom. Boom." Outside the city of Sagunto, there were bomb explosions everywhere, and the impact of solid shells. The Saguntos were struggling to defend their positions. Suddenly they discovered that they were flesh and blood. , Seems to be of no use in front of the shells.

"Boom. Boom." Carthage's artillery set the artillery position on the infantry position, and then madly directed fire. The effect of this bombardment made the infantry very excited.

"Looking at such a bombardment, I remembered our traditional festival, the Spring Festival." Li Wei put down the telescope in his hand and said.

"I know that the Spring Festival is the New Year. I heard that you have a lot of activities. Sometimes, I really want to be Zhao Guoren and spend a New Year with you. The atmosphere is very good." Hannibal relaxed with a cup of tea Speaking of, he didn't worry about the situation outside, because they already had the chance to win.

"Yes, before we set off firecrackers during the Spring Festival. It was a kind of bamboo that needed to be burned to set off. But then we had gunpowder and all kinds of fireworks. Every time we saw war, the smell of gunpowder was emitted. I thought it was Chinese New Year." The other party said with a smile.

"It's really a strange feeling." Hannibal said.

"Haha. There is no way, because gunpowder has another attribute. This attribute is war. Although he can bring joy, it can also bring misery. I really don't know if this thing is a good thing or a bad thing." Li Wei said. To.

"I think he is a good thing. At least it can solve all of our current problems. Look at the Sagunto people on the wall. They originally thought that we would launch an offensive battle and it would take a long time. But now, they Finally realized their mistakes, our shells can directly destroy the defenses on their walls, turning their flesh and blood into a pile of rotten flesh, and Sagunto has become ours." Han Nibal said. The city walls were full of explosions and collapses. The effect of the bombardment was extremely obvious. At the very least, there was no clear living thing in the artillery's artillery mirror.

"Let's go, let's see what's going on in the tunnel? After all, it seems impossible to solve all the problems by shelling alone. We still need a lot of explosives to blow up the walls." Hannibal said. .

"Yeah. Let's go." Li Wei said.

Although the use of artillery to attack can achieve the predetermined effect, Hannibal decided to use blasting to solve the siege problem, because the power of the artillery was still limited after all. They used large-caliber front-mounted artillery. Continuous shooting ability is still relatively poor. Moreover, the charge of artillery shells is also very limited. Their damage to the city wall is only damage, but if blasting is used, the situation will become extremely crazy, because they can completely destroy a section of the city wall and open one. There is a huge gap, and they can enter this gap calmly. Conquer the opponent's fortifications. Because the charge is not on the same level at all. This is an extremely crazy tactic.

"How?" Hannibal came to a secret position, which was carefully disguised. It seemed to be no different from other positions in Carthage, but in fact, this was an entrance to their tunnel excavation operations. , All the excavated soil is quietly transported to the rear to prevent the other party from discovering the difference in the soil.

"Sir, our excavation work went smoothly. If nothing else, I believe we will be able to dig under the city wall in three days, and then put a lot of explosives on them." A sergeant said with a muddy face. To.

"Well, it's good, but it took too long. Can you speed it up a little bit?" Hannibal asked.

"This, sir, our manpower has been maximized. This is the fastest speed. If we want to go faster, we need more manpower, otherwise, we simply can't do this." The sergeant said so.

"What do you think?" Hannibal did not answer the sergeant's question, but asked Li Wei's opinion.

"I think we should follow the current progress. At least everything is very beneficial to us. I think you know that we need to fish and let the other party get the bait. If the other party doesn't get the bait, we simply can't do it. Such things will have a great impact on us." Li Wei said.

"Moreover, we may have accidents. For example, if the Roma come to attack, we still proceed according to the plan." Li Wei persuaded.

"Well, well, you can take some rest." Hannibal said.

The offense to win Sagunto is not the main purpose, their main purpose is to fight around the spot and support, Lockheed Martin's talent is the focus.

Inside Loma Barracks.

Scipio came out of a large military camp, and Li Fu was waiting outside. He looked worried.

"How is it?" Li Fu asked the other party.

"My father agreed. But he told us to be more careful, because it is very likely that some out of control situations will occur. After all, many times, no one knows what will happen, and he asks us to be careful. But this is a study of the opposing cavalry. What can you do if you have a good opportunity?" Scipio asked, and Scipio was old. He does not know the Central Plains dialect, and it is too difficult for him to learn a language. This will exacerbate his difficulty. Therefore, the only way to let Scipio enter it to talk, because Li Fu himself did not understand what the other party was saying.

"My idea is to set up an ambush so that we can catch them. First of all, we look at their preparations. We need bait to attract the other party to the bait. Otherwise, we will be completely unable to solve such a thing." Li Fu Speaking of.
