"Minister, I have seen Your Majesty!"

Li Jing took the lead, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Luo Cheng and others lined up on both sides, and quickly knelt down to salute Li Wenhao.

"Uncles, get up quickly, don't be polite, don't be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I don't know if you all come here together,..."

Li Wenhao asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, the city of Persia is not easy!"

Li Jing was also not polite, and said straight to the point that Datang had shared internal information, and they had already learned about the situation in Persia City through Jin Yiwei on the way here.

"It's really not easy!"

Li Wenhao nodded, but he really didn't pay much attention to Persia City, after all, he had a cannon in red.

"Ha ha!"

Li Jing seemed to have seen through Li Wenhao's careful thinking, smiled, and then pointed to the military tent, "Your Majesty, don't you invite us to sit in?"

"Please please please!"

Li Wenhao hurriedly invited these bigwigs, who could be called the national treasures of the Tang Dynasty, in.

"Your Majesty, are you thinking about using red cannons to blow down the enemy's city walls?"

"Isn't it okay? Isn't this red-clothed cannon a sharp weapon for siege?"

"Of course it's okay, but!"

Li Jing was nothing but, Li Wenhao's heart skipped a beat, you know, Li Jing was the logistics manager for this war.

"Fan Yang's side is developing at a high speed now. Hou Jiuman, a warmonger, is still yelling that iron ore is not enough. He is researching a new type of cannon. The cannonball is sharp. It has already gone through a round of test firing. No matter how powerful it is, It’s still the production method, and even the cost of the same damage is lower than that of the red cannon.”

"Now, the Supreme Emperor has discussed with the Military Aircraft Department and Zhongshu Province, and stopped the production of red cannons and shells, and fully supported the production of new artillery."

"In addition, Hou Jiuman wants His Majesty to transport these red cannons back, and then melt them down and recast them!"

……

Li Wenhao said that he didn't understand anything, and he just heard it, it seems that the logistics are broken?

This red-clothed cannon has just been cool for a few days, and is it about to withdraw from the stage of history?

"Su Lie, how many shells are left in the Shenji Battalion?"

"Return to Your Majesty, plus the ones sent this time, there are a total of eight bases."

In Datang, a base number of shells is [-] rounds, and eight bases means that each cannon can fire [-] rounds of projectiles. Eight hundred rounds may seem like a lot, but in siege warfare, especially this kind In battles with thick walls, the circular projectiles are really not very lethal, and because of the limited range and angle, it is difficult to shoot the shells into other people's cities in the face of such a high city.

This is also the reason why Hou Jiuman has been muttering that the current red cannon is defective, and his newly developed thing, no accident, is the ancestor of the future howitzer.

However, isn't this a bit too early?
You must know that the red-clothed cannon and the rifle have almost emptied Datang's only production capacity, and Li Wenhao needs to rob everywhere.

At this time, it is not to say that Datang is barren, but that the current productivity is too low, there is no mechanized mining method like later, and some resources are wasted in the current mining.

"Fuck!"

Li Wenhao, who knew the strength of the red-clothed cannon, cursed angrily. Facing this kind of city wall, the power of the red-clothed cannon was not much stronger than the trebuchet.

"Your Majesty, therefore, the old minister is here!"

Li Jing stroked his gray beard and said with a smile.

As the first minister of the Ministry of War in the Tang Dynasty, the first chief of the army, and the most effective commander under Li Shimin's command, Li Jing has forgotten how many times he has won battles, and even more so, how many times he has turned defeat into victory over the years. It might be possible.

What's more, if you don't call it a defeat now, it's a bit tricky at best.

"Uncle Pharmacist, is there any good way?"

Li Wenhao's mouth is a deceitful ghost. Hearing that he has a solution, he immediately changed his name to Uncle Pharmacist.

Li Jing hurriedly took a step back, signaling that he did not dare to accept this title, and then spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, it's actually very simple. I remember that Jin Yiwei has an assistant. It seems to be called Song Ci. He deals with the dead every day. Just let him come."

"This Persian city is surrounded by sea water on three sides. The source of the water must be somewhere we don't know. Wouldn't it be nice for Song Ci to win without fighting with a pot of poison?"

"no!"

It’s not that Li Wenhao has never thought about letting Song Ci come, but Persia is different from Goguryeo. Goguryeo is close to Datang, the place is small, and the most important thing is that people of yellow race tend to have a sense of belonging to Datang, and it is easy to send troops to suppress it. up.

Not in Persia, he can only achieve his goal of ruling Persia if he completely subdues these people and convinces the Persians.

"Can't you?"

Li Jing is not surprised by Li Wenhao's choice at all. Li Wenhao is a combination of a hero and a hero, and he will make the most beneficial choice for him every time.

He will neither use unscrupulous means to achieve his goals like a hero, nor will he be as pedantic as a hero.

"If that doesn't work, we'll have to use something else."

"what way?"

"Let's besiege the city first, let the Shenji Battalion fire a few artillery shells tomorrow, let's fire twenty shells a day!"

"Around?"

Li Wenhao asked in surprise.

"Waiting around, this is a war of annihilation. Do you think it can end so easily?"

Li Jing said with a smile.

Li Wenhao's journey has been smooth, and he has never fought a protracted battle. Today, Li Jing might teach Li Wenhao another way to win.

"OK then!"

Knowing that a hard attack and bombardment would not work, he chose to follow Li Jing's suggestion.

"Uncle Pharmacist, can you tell me the truth?"

"Hehe, no, you have to rely on this, and realize it yourself!"

Li Jing pointed to his own head, motioning for Li Wenhao to slowly understand.

A commander like Li Jing, who has fought all his life, is a living military book. He knows what is in the art of war, and he knows what is not.

I don't know what Su Lie learned after following Li Jing for three years, but everyone knows that Su Lie has never lost since he came back.

"Su Lie, follow what Uncle Pharmacist said!"

"Here!"

After Su Lie went down, Li Wenhao handed a cup of tea to Li Jing, "What about the rest of my army?"

"The rest of the army?"

"Of course, it's time to eat, drink, climb mountains, go fishing!"

Li Jing said with a smile.

"Could it be that you want to use that exhausted strategy?"

Li Jing looked up at Li Wenhao approvingly, "Yes and no!"

"How can our 200 million army be exhausted?"

"It can only be said to be part of it. What we have to do is to let them paralyze themselves!"

After Li Jing finished speaking, he took a sip from his teacup and stopped talking, leaving Li Wenhao still confused.

"Do you understand?"

After Li Jing left, Li Wenhao asked Liu Bowen.

"Understood, it's just that I dare not think about it!"

"Oh?"

Li Wenhao looked at Liu Bowen, who was also playing charades, and was a little upset, but his brain was not as good as his, so it would be embarrassing to speak like that.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Hehe! Your Majesty, if your expectations are correct, I am afraid that within a month, Your Majesty will receive a big defeat..."
