"The Chu army has a large number of infantry, but the artillery is the most dangerous. The infantry's attack is strong in the face of effective fortifications, and it is easy to resist. However, the attack of the artillery will turn our place into ruins," the colonel continued.

"We must destroy the opponent's artillery," said the colonel worriedly,

The colonel is not too worried about the infantry attack, because in the era of firearms, as long as the defensive side has fortifications, it is easy to repel the opponent. The existence of firearms is beneficial to the defensive side. This is why offensive warfare stopped before the appearance of tanks The important reason is that trench warfare has replaced the large-scale mobile warfare of the past,

"But we have no cavalry," said the lieutenant at this moment,

"Attacking the artillery does not require cavalry. We can choose a group of surprise soldiers and launch an infantry attack directly. This is very beneficial to us. The situation of the Chu army is that the artillery and infantry lack coordination, and the pace of the two is very inconsistent. In this way The situation is very favorable to us," said the Colonel,

"But doing so will be very disadvantageous to us. We will divide our forces to attack the opponent's artillery," the lieutenant continued,

"If the enemy's artillery attacks us, then we will be in big trouble," said the colonel,

"No matter what price you pay, you must destroy the opponent's artillery," said the colonel.

"Yes, sir," agreed the officers present,

The key to defensive operations is to eliminate the opponent's artillery. After many battles, the colonel has summed up his experience. Compared with the crazy attack of infantry, artillery is more lethal than infantry. The long-range attack of artillery can greatly affect defensive operations. The threat of artillery strikes is a devastating blow to defensive warfare,

At this time, the officers of the Korean new army have realized the importance of artillery, and emphasizing firepower has become an important change in the thinking of the Korean new army. t

1500 no war yet?

"The Chu army has appeared." Shang Wen shouted loudly while lying in the fortification with a telescope.

At this time, the other soldiers of the new South Korean army looked at Shang Wen.

"Keep down." Mo Li said softly at this time.

"Oh." Shangwen nodded at this time.But Naofumi wore a leather helmet on his head.Such a helmet is still heavy for Naofumi.The heavy helmet made Shangwen feel very uncomfortable, and his head felt very heavy.

While other South Korean new army soldiers stayed quietly in the fortifications, carefully checking the enemy's situation.

At this time, the Chu army had already appeared.Their formation was relatively neat, and many infantrymen took their weapons and began to arrange them.The Chu army is spreading out to attack.

"When will they launch an attack?" Shang Wen asked a lieutenant of the new South Korean army on the side at this time.

"It probably won't take long. It's noon now. If they don't launch an attack in the afternoon, they will be there tomorrow. In short, we need to strengthen our vigilance." The lieutenant said, looking at the scattered troops of the Chu army.

"Oh." Shangwen nodded at this time.

In Changsha City.

"Vessel tax must be controlled within [-]%. Sailing is a very risky business, not only with strong winds and waves, but also with pirates. Those pirates often rob our merchant ships, and many people never return because of encountering pirates. "A businessman said worriedly.

Xiang Bo nodded at this time.Xiang Bo was jealous of evil.So he was tickled by the chief tax collector of the Chu State Navy.He will be in charge of the tax collection meeting.

"That's right, General. The taxes on ships in Chu State are too severe. Many of our ships go quietly." A thick man stood up and shouted loudly, waving his arms.

"Shhh, you can say something like that." Another businessman anxiously grabbed his sleeve and said in a low voice.

"What are you afraid of?" The man said loudly at this time, tearing off his sleeves.

"That's how it happened." The man said at this time.

"En. Tell me about that strong man." Xiang Bo waved his arms at this time to let the strong man continue talking.

"I just said that this tax collection meeting must be true. Xiang Jiajun is credible." The strong man said at this time.

"Let me tell you, why is it [-]%. We have paid taxes here. We have registered, but in other noble places, we still have to pay taxes." The strong man said at this time.

"For example, if you pass through Jiujiang, you have to pay taxes to the nobles in Jiujiang. If you don't pay, you will have to detain the boat. Some of them force it through, and they are directly bombarded by the other side with cannons." The strong man said at this time.

"We can't defeat the navy of those nobles and lords. Even if it is a merchant ship with goods, we pay taxes, and other small officials will suck us up. Those small officials are even more vicious." The strong man Said.

"We earn a lot of money. Those people just suck our blood and eat our flesh." The strong man said indignantly.

"Crack." Xiang Bo heard such complaints.A slap on the desk.

Everyone present was shocked.

"Go on," Xiang Bo continued.

"Oh." The strong man was also taken aback by Xiang Bo's sudden move.

"It's not just the taxes of these nobles, petty officials. There are many such things along the way. When crossing the Yangtze River, there are many such taxes. You have to pay this, and you have to pay that. I thought it was too much After crossing the Yangtze River, it’s over. But what I didn’t expect is that crossing the Yangtze River has just begun. Those pirates are even more vicious. They robbed our ships and took away our goods. If we don’t obey, we will be killed. Many people lost their lives because of this. They fed the fish." The strong man bowed his head and said.

"Although the tax is not high. However, we have to pay too much tax. Therefore, I hope the general will lower the tax." The strong man said at this time.

"Crack." Hearing this.Xiang Bo rapped on the desk hard.

"Crack." The table was under heavy knocking.There was a cracking sound of a foot.The representative of the Qin State Bank on the side also felt sympathetic after hearing what the strong man said, but if the tax is too low, it will be a problem for the Qin State Bank to recover the principal.This is very bad for Qin Guo Bank.

"These nobles and pirates are too hateful." Xiang Bo shouted dissatisfied.

"General, calm down. Calm down." The representative of Qin State Bank approached in a low voice at this time.

"Now is not the time to express dissatisfaction. We have to solve the problem. The tax cannot be lowered. 5.00% tax is already very low." The representative of Qin Guo Bank said anxiously at this time.

"But those people can't afford it." Uncle Xiang said dissatisfied at this time.

At this time, everyone present heard Xiang Bo's voice.

"This is not a place to talk, let's take a step." The representative of Qin Guo Bank said in a low voice at this time.

"Okay." Xiang Bo looked at the people present.Everyone noticed here.Xiang Bo had no choice but to do so.

"The current tax rate is already very low. If it goes down, we will be directly exempt from tax." The representative of Qin Guo Bank said at this time.

"Okay." Xiang Bo said at this time.

"Okay. The general also needs military expenses. Where does the military expense come from?" The representative of the Qin State Bank said excitedly at this time.

"This." Xiang Bo heard such words.Immediately stopped not understanding.This is really difficult.The tax burden of those merchants is indeed very heavy, but they have to pay the taxes, because the Chu State Navy needs to expand its army and prepare for war, which requires a lot of military expenses. Where did these military expenses come from.It can only come from taxes.However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the tax situation of Chu State is very serious, especially the situation of Chu State's navy is very bad.

"This." Xiang Bo didn't know what to say.

"The tax rate is already very low. Very low." The representative of Qin Guo Bank said at this time.

"It can't be any lower. No matter how low it is, we can exempt it from the tax. In this way, the Chu State Navy will have no military expenses." The representative of the Qin State Bank said at this time.The representative of Qin Guo Bank obviously meant to let the other party know.Not paying taxes is out of the question.

Xiang Bo has a strong sense of justice.If the tax is paid according to this kind, although it is not very heavy in the eyes of the Chu State Navy, the tax for merchants is very heavy.Such a heavy method makes them feel very heavy pressure.However, the pressure of military expenditure made it difficult for Xiang Bo to make a choice.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"The funds obtained from these bonds are mainly used to build a large amount of infrastructure, such as roads and railways. Not only Qin and Zhao, Yan, South Korea, Wei, and Qi. Connecting railways, but also allowing The railway networks within each country are quickly connected. The funds obtained from these bonds can only be used in this direction and cannot be used in other directions. This is very fair and just to the economies of all countries." Meng Yi stood up expressed his opinion.

"What do you mean by Qin people?" Guo Kai whispered dissatisfied.
