Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Zhou Tong and Li Zhong chatted with Wu Yong here for a while, and then hurried to the marching tent where Zhao Ji was located to report to him the news they had discovered on the border of Japan in recent days.

As for Zhao Ji, after listening to the various descriptions of the two generals, he really understood in his heart why their army of the Song Dynasty had been in Japan for so long, and the other party had only used it once like this. Apart from the soldiers, there was no other movement.

The main reasons are:

All the people on the Japanese border were a little scared and afraid of fighting.

After all, in the three battles with the Song Dynasty's troops and horses, not only did their Japanese soldiers and horses suffer heavy losses, but what was even more unacceptable to them was that they did not win even one of the three battles.

The tragic situation of losing all three battles forced the Japanese royal family to be cautious about sending troops next time.

Moreover, no one in Japan could figure out a way to crack the steel chariots of the Song Dynasty.

So for the time being, I can only adopt this silent method temporarily until the times change.

Zhao Ji was quite satisfied with the result in front of him.

After all, if the Japanese country really mobilized all its troops to attack them...

No matter how powerful the steel tanks in Zhao Ji's hands are and how abundant their artillery shells are, it is impossible to defeat the opponent's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops in a very short period of time. , kill them all.

But once the opponent's human wave tactics last longer.

It’s hard to say when the time comes. On the contrary, it will be our own tanks and combat vehicles that cannot withstand metal fatigue first and then suffer damage one after another, and eventually become unable to be used normally.

If it really comes to that step, then the more than 1 elite troops of the Song Dynasty can suddenly overwhelm the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops.

So no matter what, it is impossible to win.

Of course, these are just the worst outcomes in Zhao Ji's imagination.

If it really happens next, then the only way out for Zhao Ji's army is to quickly organize the army and then quickly withdraw from Japan.

Otherwise, what awaits them is disaster.

Fortunately, the intelligence collection team sent by Zhao Ji before this found out from the Japanese government that they were afraid of the enemy and were too timid to fight.

In this way, wouldn't it just give our own troops the opportunity to continue to boil frogs in warm water against those Japanese people?

Zhao Ji thought about this, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face.

When he looked at the two lieutenant generals Zhou Tong and Li Zhong standing in front of the desk, their eyes were full of approval:

"Two generals, you have completed this mission very well."

"But now, after all, we are fighting on the enemy's territory."

“So you can’t relax at all times.”

"You two generals, please go down and rest for a day."

"Wait until early tomorrow morning, and then continue to inquire about information on the Japanese border."

"Whenever you find any useful information, you must pass it back."

"So that our troops can make adjustments as soon as possible based on that information to adapt to any war situation that may occur at the moment."

Zhao Ji looked at the backs of Li Zhong and Zhou Tong slowly leaving, and couldn't help but think a lot in his heart.

Just when Zhao Ji lowered his head and thought deeply, he saw Wu Yong, the wise star, walking in from outside the camp:

"Officials, but I don't know what important information the two generals found out when they returned this time?"

Zhao Ji grinned, and then made an inviting gesture towards Wu Yong:

"Pedant, please sit down."

"I just wanted to ask someone to invite Aiqing over."

"But I never thought that you would come here first."

"This way, it will save me some trouble."

"The information those two generals found out is exactly what our side wants most."

"That is, the entire Japanese country is now afraid of our forces."

"That being the case, it seems to me that our operating space here can be larger."

Wu Yong, who was dressed as a scholar, lowered his head and listened to Zhao Ji's words. He also used his right hand to slowly stroke the beard on his chin.

As he nodded frequently, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter:

"In this case, from Wei Chen's point of view, our actions here should not be too drastic."

"Otherwise, it would be easy to surprise the Japanese royal family."

"If the time comes, those Japanese officials and their royal family members will be shocked and take bolder and more drastic actions against us."

"That's what we least want to see right now."

"So Wei Chen suggested that at the moment, we should only leave more than a thousand troops and horses here to guard the army's retreat."

"In this way, it is equivalent to leaving a glimmer of hope for our army in the future."

"As for the remaining troops and horses, as well as all knives, spears, swords, halberds, chariots, and artillery shells, they should be pushed forward slowly."

"First let our spies find out which cities on the Japanese border are small and easy to capture."

"Then our army will go and capture them one by one."

"Before capturing those small cities, we should first send a small group of troops back to the Song Dynasty and then mobilize a group of heavy troops to cross the sea and come here."

"After all, although our troops and horses here are very strong, they are really stretched in terms of numbers."

"If by then, we advance too fast on the Japanese border and occupy too many cities..."

"Then there will be no extra troops left to occupy those cities."

"When our army gradually takes down all the strategic places around the city where the Japanese imperial family is located."

"Then it is only a matter of time before the entire Japan Kingdom is included in the territory of our Song Dynasty."

"Of course, the above are just some immature ideas of Wei Chen."

"But I don't know what the officials think of it?"

Zhao Ji nodded meaningfully:

"It's too modest to say this academically."

"But in my opinion, if you sum it up, the academic plan can be described in four words."

"That's boiling a frog in warm water."

"In other words, we can't make the move too big at the moment, so that the frog will be scalded and jump up as soon as it jumps into the water."

"At the same time, such actions cannot be too small."

"Otherwise, the frog may be enjoying itself more and more as it swims in the water, but it won't be enough to kill it."

"If you delay it for a long time, it will make him have other thoughts."

"Only when the water temperature is just right can the frog be completely killed without even realizing it."

"Now, what we want on Japan's land is this result."

"The purpose is to destroy the Japanese royal family bit by bit before they hesitate in every possible way and make a complete decision."

"In the end, the entire Japanese country will completely become the land of our Song Dynasty."

"Wu Xuexue, this plan is very clever, very clever!"
