    In early March, Wang Qi led the army to set off.

    The mighty army left Chang'an and headed towards Liangzhou in Longxi.

    This time, only 50,000 people participated in the battle.

    However, the army is already equipped with all kinds of new weapons such as cannons, rifles, grenades, and gunpowder.  The existence of these weapons is enough to change the way war is fought.

    Soldiers in the army are still equipped with swords.  The fighting on the battlefield, once the bombing of hot weapons is over, when the distance is shortened, it is a close-range hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons.

    The army marched on in a mighty manner. When they arrived at Chencang County, west of Chang'an, they were already very close to Liangzhou.

    Chencang County, this is almost the barrier to the west of Chang'an.

    Going south from Chencang County, you can enter Sichuan, or you can enter Wudu County of Liangzhou from the southwest of Chencang County.  To the west of Chencang County, there is the undulating Wuyue Mountain, blocking the road to the west.

    To go to Liangzhou, you can only proceed along the northwest direction of Chencang County and along the direction of Lishui.

    Qishui is a river in Chencang County, passing through three counties: Chencang County, Yumi County and Qian County.  The entire Chencang County, as well as the other counties, rely on this river for life.

    The northwest has always been dry and rainless.  With such a river of life, most people live along the river because this is the most suitable area for living.

    The army arrived in Chencang County. Although they were still on their way, their speed temporarily slowed down. A large number of sentinels went to inquire for the news.

    If it were the old way of fighting, everything would be simple.  In particular, Wang Qi has enough high-end Grand Master combat power to carry out beheading operations.  Nowadays, with the existence of hot weapons like rifles, even great masters cannot resist bullets and must act more cautiously.

    "Report!"

    When the army was on its way, another sentinel came back quickly.  The sentry galloped all the way to Wang Qi's side, turned over and dismounted, and there was a letter on the ground, saying: "Your Majesty, the latest information from Wei has been sent back, please read it."

    Wang Qi took the letter and browsed its contents.

    The Intelligence Bureau of Qi State had been placing many spies in Wei State to send back news at any time.  Because of the disparity in strength between Wei and Qi, there were many officials from the Intelligence Bureau of Qi who instigated rebellion against Wei.

    Especially among the middle and lower-level officials of Wei State, many of them have already turned to Qi State.

    Even though Cao Xuan continued to expand to the Western Region after establishing his foothold in Liangzhou, his strength was still the same.  When the Wei State had rifles and its strength increased greatly, it was the highlight moment of the Wei State.

    Many people believe that Wei's strength has increased and it is possible to counterattack Qi.

    After all, Wei¡¯s weapons were purchased from the distant Hercynian Empire. They were more advanced and could defeat the great masters of Qi.  However, when the Hercynian Empire attacked Qi, the whole army of the Hercynian Empire was destroyed. This news woke up the people of Wei, but also stunned them.

    In the eyes of countless people in the Wei State, the Haixi Empire has rifles and other weapons and is the strongest and invincible.  However, they suddenly discovered that the Haixi Empire was still being taught a lesson like a younger brother in front of Qi State.

    After the first battle, Wei officials knew that Qi could not be shaken.  Therefore, the people of Wei will succeed in the Hercynian Empire and fail in the Hercynian Empire.  Because of the defeat of the Hercynian Empire's army, the hearts of the Wei people were floating, and many people were shaken.

    As a result, the Intelligence Bureau continued to instigate rebellion, and many people gradually sided with the Intelligence Bureau.

    Wang Qi finished reading the content of the letter, looked at Zhou Zishan and Zhuge Feng who were following him on the way, and said, "Zishan, brother, Cao Xuan has already led his army to station at Longguan in the east of Long County."

    "The number of troops led by Cao Xuan this time is a hundred thousand."

    "Not only that, Cao Xuan's army is equipped with rifles. One hundred thousand people are in Longxi. Concentrating our forces for a battle will create considerable resistance for us."

    "Long Pass is inherently dangerous. When Cao Xuan guards Long Pass, one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it."

    "Even though we have artillery to bombard now, the mountains on both sides of Long Pass are enough to set up an ambush. It is not easy to conquer Long Pass. What do you think of this situation?"

    Cao Xuan¡¯s troops were large in number and the situation changed.

    After all, the grand master has lost his role. If he really wants to sneak into the prison, once he is discovered, he will be beaten into a sieve by a rifle.  In the past, Wang Qi and his Grandmaster could easily break through, but now it is impossible.

    Zhou Zishan thought for a while and said: "Cao Xuan's arrangement is to prepare for a decisive battle with us at Longguan. It can be predicted that he will deploy troops in other directions, such as Liangzhou Wudu County south of Longguan.Definitely debilitating.  "

    "In addition, the military strength in Beidi County north of Longguan is also weakened."

    "I suggest that we divide our forces directly and dispatch some troops from Dashan Pass south of Chencang to enter Wudu County. We also dispatch some troops to attack Beidi County from Qixian County north of Chencang."

    "We were originally one army, but now we have three armies advancing together."

    "According to the current situation, if Cao Xuan devotes all his strength to Longguan, the opponent will defend Xiongguan and take the lead in setting up a defensive position. We attack by force. Even if we are equipped with cannons, the bombardment of artillery fire will not kill everyone. We still have to fight  tough battle."

    At this time, Zhou Zishan seemed very calm.

    With a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, he said: "The three armies split their forces to attack, putting more pressure on Cao Xuan. We have more means of attack and can seize the initiative."

    Zhuge Feng took over the words and said: "I agree with what Minister Zhou said. However, I think that the troops who do not make a big show of their efforts are divided into three groups, but our group will still advance with a big fanfare."

    "The remaining two armies, equipped with weapons, attacked quietly and captured Wudu County and Beidi County in a flash."

    "Our people, after taking the two counties, can move their troops into Hanyang County, where Long County is located, and cut off Cao Xuan's retreat. By then, Cao Xuan will be flanked and his retreat will be cut off. Even if there is a great pass like Long Pass, it may not be possible.  Can hold it."

    "Of course, it would be best if we could directly defeat Long County. Then the three armies will advance together, and Qi's army will win easily."

    "However, everything may not go smoothly in the battlefield. Therefore, considering that our route is blocked in Long County, the other two routes will be quickly interspersed, which can also cut off Cao Xuan's retreat and annihilate Cao Xuan in Long County."

    Zhuge Feng said: "No matter what, it is easier for us and can break the current situation."

    Zhou Zishan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Minister Zhuge's suggestion. The remaining two groups will keep secret and attack with lightning to quickly penetrate the two counties and strive to win in one battle."

    Wang Qidao: "Then let's do this, divide the troops into three groups. Our group will march with great fanfare, and the other two groups of troops will move quietly. Zhuge Feng, who do you think is the most suitable to lead the army?"

    Among the generals in the army, after the integration, Zhuge Feng is the most familiar.

    Of course, Zhou Zishan is also familiar with it, because the promotion and assessment of army generals are all in the hands of Zhou Zishan.

    Zhuge Feng said without thinking: "Your Majesty, the generals who raided Wudu County, I suggested that Zhu Yuanshan and Liu Jinyuan go there. Zhu Yuanshan is the chief general, and Liu Jinyuan is the military advisor. The two of them cooperate tacitly, and their three thousand elites are very sharp. And in  Among those who are familiar with cannons, rifles and other weapons, they are ranked first.¡±

    Wang Qidao: "You mean, send three thousand people there?"

    Zhuge Feng said: "Since it is a surprise attack and they are equipped with various weapons, three thousand people are enough."

    Wang Qidao: "Where is the road from Qixian County to Beidi County?"

    Zhuge Feng said: "Reporting to your majesty, I think that Fei Xiuhu and Situ Santai are suitable for the raid on Beidi County. The three thousand elite soldiers led by the two men are second only to Zhu Yuanshan's army. And Situ Santai is extremely shrewd.  , he is Fei Xiuhu¡¯s strategist, with him here, I think the surprise attack should be easy.¡±

    Wang Qi looked at Zhou Zishan and said, "Zishan, what do you think?"

    Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty, Minister Zhuge's arrangements are very suitable. After all, in the army, Zhu Yuanshan and Fei Xiuhu are both famous for their courage to fight and kill, and they have very strong fighting ability. As for Liu Jinyuan and Situ Santai, they are more famous  Military advisors are good at planning, and if they go to war, I think there will be no problem."

    Wang Qi said: "Let's make arrangements."

    "yes!"

    Zhuge Feng responded directly.

    He is responsible for the military war. Now Zhuge Feng directly arranges the orders and arrangements for the war.

    In a short period of time, the army divided its forces and took action.

    The army led by Wang Qi continued to march in the direction of Longguan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
