Dian Wei nodded thoughtfully.

"No wonder, in the battle at Linbin City, our casualties were minimal."

"A hundred to one, right?"

Qi Jiguang hummed and said lightly: "It's less than this."

Dian Wei's face was obviously moved, and he sighed: "It's terrible..."

Qi Jiguang shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"No, it's not a weapon we can rely solely on."

"In battle, it will also encounter various situations. It cannot be used as a main weapon at present. Its rate of fire is not fast, and its lethality is not particularly strong. If the enemy rushes directly, it will even be restrained."

"It is only most suitable to consume enemy soldiers in the initial battle charge, and the subsequent battle..."

"This...is the most effective!" Qi Jiguang tightened the handle of the knife at his waist. "Only by cooperating with multiple arms can we achieve maximum victory!"

Dian Wei agreed very much. He turned his head and looked at the large weapons carried in the wooden carts in the middle of the army, and then asked:

"My lord has always said that this is the biggest weapon. I haven't seen you use it yet. So, are these weapons useful?"

Hearing this, Qi Jiguang lowered his head and laughed softly.

"One can be worth a hundred!"

"These are various types of heavy artillery. As the saying goes, their big weapons are nothing more than divine power and fire, which can be used to destroy captives and tiger crouching. Their small weapons are nothing more than three-eyed quick guns and bird blunderbuss."

"The one you are looking at is the Crouching Tiger Cannon. It is very powerful. It can play a great role in field battles, attacking fortresses, and defense."

"A volley of artillery fire can turn enemy soldiers into a pile of rotten flesh, burn down mountains and forests, and collapse city walls!"

"This! It's the ultimate weapon!"

After the words fell, Dian Wei's eyes showed excitement, and he looked up at the sky.

The sky was dim and it was already evening.

After the battle in Linbin City ended, Qin Ze handed over the people in the city to the care of the defenders, and then led his army out of the city.

There is far more than one Linbin city in need of rescue in the East China Sea.

There are still many cities that have fallen into the hands of Japanese pirates. What we need to do now is to get rid of all the Japanese pirates we see as soon as possible!

In the army, Qin Ze looked expressionless as he looked at the chariot camp in the army. He knew that the weapons on the vehicles would be a powerful blow to the Japanese pirates next.

If the Japanese pirates dare to come here to cause trouble, they must be given a taste of artillery fire!

And those lackeys and traitors who surrendered to the Japanese pirates must also be given the harshest punishment!

According to the map of the East China Sea and the defense map submitted by Su Hong, the closer to the seaside city, the more people were killed by Japanese pirates.

Japanese pirates are ferocious and cunning, and can use all kinds of insidious tricks. They have already used these in Linbin City.

Therefore, Qin Ze knew that although the battle this time was a complete victory, according to the Japanese pirates' consistent behavior, they vowed to invade Yan State this time, so they would never retreat just because of a defeat in the battle.

They must fight back.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze pursed his lips slightly.

Seeing that it was almost night, Qin Ze stopped the army and began to rest, waiting to continue marching early tomorrow morning.

But although the army stopped, the scouts sent out were still on the road.

-

"The scouts sent the news and saw soldiers and horses from Linbin City coming out from a distance."

"Sure enough, it's just as I expected."

"The troops coming this time have extraordinary confidence and courage. They dared to leave the city immediately after a battle. It seems that they didn't take much rest. Are they planning to prepare for the next battle?"

"It seems that this is indeed Qin Ze's style. Ha, this guy is really here."

A full moon hangs high in the sky.

On the ground like silver frost, a group of soldiers and horses were walking on the road under the faint moonlight.

Huang Tianwei said calmly at the forefront of the army.

Murata's face turned a little pale. Hearing this, he bit his fingernails unconsciously. After a while, he said:

"fortunately......"

"Fortunately, I listened to your advice, Lord Tianwei, and withdrew the troops in time."

"They dare to leave the city so quickly. They don't have the confidence to do so. If we had entered the city, I'm afraid..."

Murata looked back at the dark night with lingering fear, and shouted:

"Boost!"

Huang Tianwei said calmly:

"First send messengers to Tanwan City to prepare for the battle and use the city defense to resist their offensive."

"Of course, there is no need to leave most of the troops in Tanwan City. We still have to continue retreating."

As soon as he said this, Murata's face froze and he immediately said:

"What do you mean? Isn't it possible to use Tanwan City to fight a defensive war and then launch a counterattack?"

"We will continue to retreat with most of the troops? Do you want to..." Murata's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Huang Tianwei with a hint of shock.

Huang Tianwei had no expression on his face and still said calmly:

"I don't think it's appropriate to only rely on Tanwan City to resist Qin Ze's offensive."

"You have to make multiple preparations in case you can't defend it."

He looked up at the moon, then turned to look at the soldiers behind him, his eyes deep.

"Just let the soldiers guarding Tanwan City consume as much of Qin Ze's troops as possible."

After the words fell, Murata bit the corner of his lip, tightened his hands on the reins, and a trace of anger began to rise in his heart.

He said in a deep voice:

"If you can't stop it."

"Won't the soldiers who resisted Qin Ze in Tanwan City die there?" Murata looked at Huang Tianwei. Huang Tianwei still looked the same, his face remained calm, without any waves.

Huang Tianwei shrugged and said noncommittally, "That's not it?"

"Drive!" Murata kicked the horse in the belly, approached Huang Tianwei, and shouted in a low voice:

"Lord Tianwei, what do you think of our soldiers?"

"They are the people I brought from my hometown! There are many people who can no longer survive in the country! I gave them hope and recruited them!"

"I brought them to Daqian to find a way to survive! I didn't want to sacrifice them here casually!"

"Let a few people stay in Tanwan City and use them as expendables to stop Qin Ze. Do you think this approach is appropriate!?"

After hearing Murata's words, Huang Tianwei had an indifferent expression. He raised his eyebrows and said:

"Otherwise, we want those Gan people who have taken refuge with us to resist Qin Ze? Do you think they will be willing to help us fight after we retreat?"

When asked this question, Murata's expression froze: "Those are just fools and won't work."

Huang Tianwei nodded and continued:

"Murata-kun, before you came to Daqian, didn't you think that many people would die?"

"Whether it's Ganren or Fusang people, many, many more will die."

Murata gritted his teeth and whispered: "I know! You don't need to say this!"

Huang Tianwei was noncommittal and continued:

"In those previous battles, we went well, so the battle losses were very small. You take this for granted, and this is how it should be."

"But it's different now. The enemy we are going to fight is no longer the weak Donghai Navy, but the notorious Zhenbei King's troops."

"How can we win against such an enemy without making sacrifices?"

Murata was speechless for a moment, his face flushed, and he wanted to retort, but he didn't know where to start.

"Today, at this moment, you should understand that this is the true nature of war. This is not a game between children. I punch you and you kick me. After the fight, we are still friends."

"The nature of war is to kill people, many, many people."

"On the offensive side and on the defensive side, after the war begins, anyone involved must be prepared to die."

"Are you not ready yet?"

"Then what are you doing here?"

Huang Tianwei lowered his head slightly, his eyes were like daggers, and he looked at Murata with an indifferent expression.
