"The aristocratic navy has grown tremendously. At present, although they have shrunk into the water fortress, we still have to see some disadvantages developing." The captain pointed out this potential threat at this time.
"The construction of these aristocratic navy forts is a great threat to us. Our ships have to pass here. The noble navy only needs to intercept us. Their warships don't have to go out of the fort to meet the enemy. But we have to go out of the Yangtze River, enter the sea, and come back from the sea. Once the forts of the noble navy are built along both sides of the Yangtze River, the range of the artillery just covers the entire waterway, which is tantamount to someone else stuck our necks , At that time, we wanted to catch our breath and had to watch the noble navy, this is the real problem." The captain said worriedly.
Speaking of this, everyone was stunned, they didn't think of this at all.The people present, you look at me, I look at you, this time they really have no idea.
"What should we do? Everyone think about it carefully." The captain said this and went out.Because he can't help it.
At this time, the nobles were also having a lot of headaches about this matter.
"This, this, this, what is this?" A nobleman on a fief of the Yangtze River in Chu State received such a letter in his mansion. The letter described in detail the process of their tax collection ship being attacked and their current situation. situation.
"Waste, it's completely waste, a bunch of waste. A waste that is not even as good as a dog." He cursed aristocratically.
And the attendants at the side stood there tremblingly.At this time, a thin and thin counselor stepped forward lightly, picked up the bamboo slips and looked at them.
"I spend money on these wastes to feed a group of wastes, and I can't even collect the money. I'm fucking wasting this money." The nobleman cursed angrily. Such news is a big deal for him. It's very bad news. He wanted to count on building a navy by himself and reap some benefits from it, but what he didn't expect was that the navy that had just been established would be beaten so hard that it couldn't get out of the nest.The nobles borrowed money from other nobles in order to build their own navy.These funds require high interest payments.it's good now.He didn't receive a penny, and he was beaten by others.This annoyed the nobles very much.
"En." The thin counselor finished reading the bamboo slips at this time.After thinking about it, he came up with a plan.But he saw the attendants around him.Their trembling appearance will only make people look very angry.
"You all go down." The counselor said at this time.
"This." The attendants looked at the nobleman worriedly.
"Huh la la." The nobleman waved his hand angrily, he felt very tired.
When the attendants saw the nobleman waving his hands, they all nodded and quietly retreated.At this time, the thin counselor stepped forward and said.
"My lord, don't be angry, I have a plan to relieve my lord's worries." The counselor said.
"Oh. Come quickly, sir." Hearing the counselor say such words, the nobleman immediately asked.
"My lord, just now, I read the bamboo slips. The bamboo slips said that our army retreated to the water village. The water bandits attacked fiercely. But they dare not advance." The counselor said at this time.
"Sir, tell me quickly." The noble asked eagerly at this time.
"En. My lord, don't worry, don't worry." The counselor said with a smile.
"Tell me, sir." The nobleman said anxiously.
"My lord, our army has just been established. The combat strength of this navy has not yet been completed, and those water pirates, who have been in the water all year round, are naturally much stronger than the navy I just established." The counselor said.
"Oh." The nobleman said at this time.
"My lord, at present, the cannons on those warships can be dismantled, and forts can be built on both sides of the Yangtze River. As long as these forts shoot at each other, they can block the entire Yangtze River. As long as our army blocks the waterways, those merchant ships will not be able to resist me." The adviser said.
"But what if those water pirates attack?" the nobleman asked worriedly at this time.
"Can those small boats withstand the bombardment of the cannon?" the counselor asked the nobleman instead.
"This." The noble thought for a while.
Then the nobleman shook his head.
"In that case, my lord will have nothing to worry about," said the counselor.
"Ah, hahahaha." The noble laughed loudly when he heard this.
"Good advice, sir. High opinion, sir." The nobleman said loudly at this time.
"That's it, hahaha." The nobleman kept laughing.
"My lord, it's just that the construction of this fort is very expensive, and some strong forts need to be built to prevent water robbers from forcibly attacking." The counselor said at this time.
"Don't worry. Don't worry, those pirates can't have such courage." The nobleman said excitedly at this time.He didn't take the counselor's worries to heart at all.Because it's nothing to worry about.

"My lord, those fortifications are so ingeniously built. We can't get in at all." A Zhao Guo coal mine is located at the western foot of Taihang Mountain.Zhao's noble army launched a series of attacks.But they were all beaten back by the fortifications built.These fortifications were built extremely skillfully.They have two bunkers, light and dark.Plus some infantry lines.The offensive of the noble army was severely frustrated.This greatly hindered the performance of Zhao** team.
"Hit me with a cannon." A nobleman on the chariot put down the binoculars in his hand and shouted loudly.
"No, my lord." The general of Zhao's noble army said with disheveled hair.
"Those cannons can only fire flat. We pushed them up, and before we had time to fire, they repelled them. Even if we fired the cannons, the shells would be thrown away by the ground." The famous general said truthfully.
Useless, useless waste. "The noble on the chariot scolded loudly.
"Kill." At this time, the miners in the mining area and the Zhao army launched a counterattack, and the counterattack soon repelled the attack of Zhao's noble army again. Zhao's noble army could not resist and retreated one after another. down.
"Hold it, hold it up for me. Those who retreat will be killed without mercy." The nobleman roared.But there is no use.
The noble troops of Zhao State kept retreating.
"My lord, retreat, we can't stand it anymore." Seeing this situation, the family general actively persuaded.
"Quick retreat." At this time, the general took the initiative to issue an order, and the guards of Zhao's nobles also covered and retreated.The artillery used by Zhao's aristocratic army to attack directly also fell directly into the hands of Zhao Jun and the miners who counterattacked.And the helpless retreat of the noble army.They couldn't beat each other at all, especially when those Zhao Guo's regular troops joined them.It made it more difficult for Zhao's noble army to attack.
Zhao Guo's regular army has received strict military training, especially some officers, they know that what the infantry fears most is artillery. Once the artillery is used, it will greatly affect the situation of the battle.
The only way to avoid artillery bombardment is to dig trenches down and stick to it.In this way, the artillery of Zhao's nobles was useless, but in order to take down these mines as soon as possible, the noble army frantically pushed the artillery to the front line and bombarded the fortification bunkers with flat fire.This kind of bombardment can play some role more or less, but it can't completely work.This kind of flat-firing weapon can't play a decisive role, but these Zhao troops who have undergone rigorous training are proficient in tactics. Under the attack of flexible and flexible tactics, the noble army was defeated and returned.
The retreat of the noble army left Zhao Jun and the miners with a lot of artillery.The addition of these artillery made it difficult for the noble army to attack.After the aristocratic army failed to attack, they retreated one after another. They picked up some key points, built forts, and maintained a defensive state.
"The cannons you gave us are useless at all." After the offensive was frustrated, the nobles of Zhao State issued serious protests to the representatives of Qin's arms company.
"I'm sorry, everyone, there is no problem with our cannons, and there is no problem with our weapons. The problem with war is people, not weapons." The representative of the arms company replied.
"Your cannons can't penetrate those blockhouses and fortifications at all. When the shells fly past, they just bounce off." The nobleman shouted loudly to the arms representative.The representative of the arms company, Yao Yi, didn't understand what he meant.
"I don't understand what your lord means. Only when our shells fly can we further destroy the enemy. It will have a greater destructive effect on the enemy's lethality." The representative of the arms company continued.
"The bomb flew up. It even killed people." The noble said to the arms representative mockingly.
"You Qin people are good at deceiving people. I won't give you a single piece of gold for your cannons. You can figure it out. Waste, what you sell to us is waste." The nobleman continued to shout loudly.The representatives of the munitions company expressed their disdain and anger. Seeing that the situation was so stiff, some doorman counselors also stepped forward to dissuade the nobles, and then pulled the nobles down.
"Your Majesty, Guo Qi. It's just a doorman." At this time, a counselor who looked like a frail scholar stepped forward and said respectfully.
"My lord is sorry for something, I hope you can take care of me, and take care of me more." The doorman named Guo Qi said, bowing his hands.
"Well, we understand." The representative of the Qin fire company said at this time.This representative is from Li's Arms Company in Qin State.They sold about fifty cannons to the nobles of the Zhao state. The nobles hoped that after obtaining these cannons, they could quickly take over the mines. However, the situation did not improve greatly. Instead, they lost more weapons. This disappointed the nobles very much.
"I think there is a serious misunderstanding between us, and we just want to know how it happened." The representative of the Qin fire company said.
"In addition, war is a complicated science. I think you should understand this. As long as it is science, there will be some problems. If it is not handled properly, it will cause serious mistakes. We don't want such things to happen. We don't want this kind of thing to happen, we are here to solve the problem." The representative of Qin State's arms company said very practically.
"This, of course we understand." Guo Qi knew that the people of Qin had always done things this way.He still has some good feelings for Qin Guo's attitude. After all, this can actually solve the problem.
