Chapter 410 (1/2)

The sharp weapons of the Tang Dynasty, the stone throwing cart and the powerful crossbow, can even be said to be the pinnacle of siege weapons in the age of cold weapons. Both the stone throwing cart and the powerful crossbow are invincible in this era. It is impossible to further improve.

One of the largest riprap carts alone requires more than 200 300 people to operate. Each stone used weighs nearly 100 Jin, reaching the weight of 60 Jin in the previous life. It can be imagined that if a city meets with such a few riprap carts, how can the fragile bearing capacity of most of the walls rammed with loess be unbroken?

The powerful crossbow is also cumbersome and inconvenient to move. Like the stone thrower, it has reached an effective range of about five hundred steps and a force of twelve stones. Every time the string is opened, the winch has to be used for operation.

Therefore, although the catapult and the bed crossbow have great lethality in this period, their mobility is too weak. When 300 people gather together, it is a big target. Moreover, especially in the mountainous areas such as the Korean Peninsula, it is difficult to ”cross the mountains” and easily transport them to the city.

The appearance of sky thunder definitely provides Tang Dynasty with an effective weapon to kill and attack the city. Naturally, the battle effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty has been doubled, and it can be more confident in the face of the enemy.

However, if the officials can't hold back their martial arts, tie their hands and feet, and put away the good sky thunder without using them. They also dislike the heavy and hard to move stone throwing carts and bed crossbows. Then we should stop fighting this battle and go back to the dynasty directly.

Gexiyuan and shizangjie were in a daze with the horizontal sword thrown by Li Hong. Although their starting point was good, their effect was as if they had become traitors as soon as their Royal Highness pointed out so directly.

Li Zhi took a deep breath. It seems that the emperor's personal expedition is not as simple as he imagined. Let alone the experience of strategizing strategies and leading troops to fight a war, it is the dispute between the generals and ministers, which is enough to make people headache.

As the commander in chief, if there is no way to balance these things well and not be able to break the heaven and earth on the battlefield, it seems that the battle has lost half before it started.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help admiring his father's emperor, his arrogant heroic figure, his imperious power, his invincible battle field, his ability to know and make good use of people in court, the eighteen scholars who were close to the Royal Palace and the famous generals who later defected to him and so on.

Take a look at your side. If it's not for the prince's reminding, I still can't figure it out. When the emperor drives his own expedition, he should give priority to military generals or listen to Wen Chen's suggestions.

When there were disputes among the officials in the court, and it was difficult for him to make a decision, he was naturally asked to help him analyze and make decisions, which made him more or less ignore the importance of the queen.

In addition, his body has always been weak, and vertigo often attacks, which has unconsciously become an excuse for him. I am just weak, not unable to deal with the government alone.

But with the deepening of the Liaodong war, he began to emerge from time to time when he was powerless and indecisive. Often at this time, he could not help thinking, how good it would be if the queen was here!

Who should listen to, who should not listen to, who should be the main concern and whose ability is only suitable for assistance. It is clear at a glance and clear-cut that the disadvantages pointed out by Li Hong at the moment will not appear at all.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi could not help but take a look at Li Hong. Since the prince arrived yesterday, he was the same as discussing business with the empress. All of a sudden, he felt much more relaxed.

Psychologically, if not, I have already begun to rely on Li Hong for the war here. Otherwise, I would not have ordered him to deal with the war affairs here before Li Hong really attacked the city and did not see his real talent in leading the troops to fight.

Li Zhi sighed a long sigh again, pondered and emphasized again: ”immediately, the prince of Liaodong is fully responsible for the war, no matter what the big or small things are, you don't have to report to me deliberately.”

”My father...” Li Hong took a look at Li Zhi who was a little lonely. This was the rhythm of going out to watch the drama.

”I have made up my mind.” Li Zhi said firmly.

”Yes, your majesty.” The civil servants and military generals should bow down at the same time.

Li Zhi walked slowly towards the Chinese army tent, but he was still pondering and tangled. He did not seem to be an emperor suitable for leading the army.

As soon as he got back to the camp, Li Hong ran up to the camp and looked at the lonely and thoughtful dragon father sitting on the Dragon chair in the tent of the Chinese army. He laughed and came over.

”What's wrong, hong'er? What can I do for you? ” Li Zhi's voice was slightly tired and asked lightly.
