"This idea comes from Wang Ben. He thinks that we can pressure the Dawan people through the Tocharians, so that we can get the support of the Dawan government, and at least it won't cause us serious casualties. I I personally think that this can be done. Moreover, the Tocharians also need us to do this. If we do this, we can detect the attitude of the Tocharians towards us?" Wei Liao said to Shangwen.

"En. This is a good suggestion. We can do this, it is better than waiting for the end of winter." Shang Wen said.

For Dawan, Qin’s Ministry of National Defense has always been very worried. They believe that under such severe weather conditions, Qin’s only way is to wait and wait until the winter is over before all tasks can begin. It was too late for Qin State to do so. The logistic supplies of the expeditionary force could not be maintained for such a long time.

And at this moment, Qin suddenly discovered that the occupied Yueshishan area could be a good way to put pressure on the flanks, or take a bold military action, which would pose a threat to the Dawan people. This would be beneficial to the Dawan people. Qin Jun, the strategic importance of the Yue's mountainous region was suddenly revealed.

"Now we finally know the importance of the Yueshi Mountain area to us. We occupy an area similar to the Taihang Mountain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can swoop down to attack the Dawan people and the backs of the Yue people." Wei Liao Speaking to Shangwen.

"This is the case in the Yueshi Mountain Area. I just hope that our people can firmly control the area. You must know that this area is very important. This is the key to opening the Western Regions and beyond. Without this key, Qin The country can only stay in that place and do nothing." Shang Wen said.

"We understand this," Wei Liao said.

"One more thing is about the Yueshi people. They attacked very smoothly. We have already calculated that they may have logistical supplies, especially weapons and ammunition. I think we will take some actions to give They help to a large extent. After all, as the war progresses, the battle will become more and more critical. If at a critical moment, we Qin people suddenly let go, we will fall into a great crisis in diplomacy." Liao said to Shang Wen.

"That said, but the only way to solve this problem is railways, because only railways can fundamentally solve the problem. We can only increase the size of the transportation team, but we cannot fundamentally solve the problem. We should let Meng Tian work on this problem. Communicate with the Yueshi people, it is best to let the Yueshi people form a coalition government. Through the deployment of the coalition government, we can achieve the goals we need." Shang Wen said.

"En. I also hope to do this. We really don't know much about the Yueshi people. Many times we don't know what happened to the other party. I suggest that we take some simple military actions, such as communication construction. If this can be achieved, it is very crucial to us." Wei Liao said to Shang Wen.

"En. Communication is the key. We should do this everywhere. At least our eyes and ears can play the first priority." Shang Wen said to Wei Liao.

Inside the Wang Ben headquarters.

"What's the above?" Wang Ben asked.

"They asked us to establish communication links, and communicate with the Yueshi people to see how the situation is? If necessary, they will also ask the Yueshi people to establish a coalition government in order to solve the railway transportation problem in a unified way." Wei Liao said. To.

"You are worried about your problem. What I am worried about is that the Yue people may enter a stalemate in the battle due to logistical supplies. If the time is delayed for a long time, it may directly lead to their huge military defeat. I am worried that this will happen. If this is the case, Yueshi’s situation may be bad. We have no alternative but to increase the intensity of the transportation of materials." Wei Liao said.

"But the current situation is that we can only do this. I only hope that those Yueshi people can hold on for a longer time." Meng Tian said.

"If necessary, we can also participate in the battle, on a small scale, but the situation is unknown. In many cases, we don't know what happened to people. This is the key to the problem, but I think we should do our best to send troops at any time. It is possible to help the Yueshi people maintain the current situation. Then the problem can be solved through negotiation." Wang Ben put forward his own ideas.

"I think it can. This is a good idea." Meng Tian nodded and said.

"Then do it." Wang Ben said.

Qi State, Tian Heng's military command. Tian Heng’s military command abilities are very limited, and his military management abilities are also very limited, but at present, Qi is still under a state of military control, so his military command is actually playing an extreme role to some extent. Great military economic value.

"This is a brand new weapon we invented. Sir." A craftsman in his fifties said to Tian Heng.

"This is?" Tian Heng was puzzled and benevolent.

"We call him Rocket, sir." The craftsman explained.

"Rocket?" Tian Heng said while looking at the rocket in his hand. In traditional arrows, a gunpowder canister is added to it. This canister is made of bamboo or wrapped in paper. Most of it is made of paper, probably because paper is cheaper and lighter.

"This kind of rocket is propelled by a gunpowder tube, launched at an oblique upward angle, and then landed to form a shot. It has a different charge. They can shoot targets ranging from 400 to 800 steps, but they have disadvantages. It’s a large-scale dispersal. This is a military weapon that can deal with large-scale assaults." The craftsman said.

"Well, it's just such a weapon, isn't it a bit too backward?" Tian Heng said worriedly. Like other countries, Qi is actively looking for a way to fully establish its own independent arsenal. However, Qi has insufficient funds, but it cannot prevent them from studying military weapons. Qi Guo has been able to build some barrels by hand, but it takes a lot of man-hours and some machine tools can also be manufactured, but it looks very rough, but everything is in progress. In addition, Qi’s most superb craftsmen have created a two-cylinder internal combustion engine hand-crafted by Qi’s craftsmen. This is hand-made by Qi’s craftsmen completely imitating the Qin’s engine. This requires a high level of skill to achieve this, but Qi has already Only this person can do it. The reason is very simple. Their oil is not good, and other materials cannot be supplied. This is only limited to handwork, and the power of handcrafting is insufficient. It has no practical value at all because of its large size.

"Don’t fall behind, sir, we reproduce this kind of rockets in a large-scale and densely-made large box. When launching, we can light the fuse to launch densely or intensively. Such shooting will also cause the opponent. A lot of casualties. There is a great advantage in defense, but the range is weak." The craftsman said.

"Well, it's not just that, the cost of arrows is also more expensive." Tian Heng said. The cost of arrows is much more expensive than bullets, bullets can be made of tin or iron bullets. But the arrow is different. It takes a lot of things to make an arrow, such as arrows, feathers, etc. These are too expensive. It's not worth it. And also use gunpowder to advance. This makes Tian Heng very dissatisfied, because the result of spending too much money is such a result, which is a waste of resources.

"Sir, these arrows are left in the warehouse, and there are a lot of them. The arrows on them can still be used, but those arrow shafts are of no use. They can only be burned as materials. It is a shame to burn them. I know that it took a lot of manpower to make an arrow at the beginning to do this." The craftsman said distressedly.

"Oh." Tian Heng looked at the craftsman in shock when he heard this.

"Why?" Tian Heng asked.

"Why would you do this?" Tian Heng asked.

"This, sir, these are all weapons that were piled up before gunpowder weapons. When weapons are cold, a large amount of bows and arrows must be stocked so that they can be refilled in time after they are consumed in war. However, after the promotion of gunpowder weapons, these bows and arrows are out of date. People. Although there are a few people, there are still a large number of inventory and weapons that have been withdrawn from the front line. It is because of such a large number that we are worried that it will be too time-consuming to destroy. Moreover, the cost is not cost-effective and can only be used as The material is burned. And if it is not burned, it will take up a lot of space. Looking at these things, I feel distressed myself. Sir." The craftsman said excitedly.

"That's how I thought of people using gunpowder weapons to improve this kind of arrows. I call him rockets. I hope to use them again and play a limited role. At least they can consume these stocks." The craftsman said.

"How many arrows are there?" Tian Heng asked.

"About ten million," the craftsman said.

"So much?" Tian Heng called in surprise.

"Yes, some of it was destroyed before, and then we bought things that weren't needed in many countries, and then this scale became like this." The craftsman said. It turned out that countries like Qin, Wei, South Korea, Chu, and Zhao all stocked so many arrows, and it was a pity to destroy them, so they sold them to people from Qi, and more and more people from Qi took over. , These are the products of the Cold Weapon Era, they were pushed to the people of Qi as rubbish. The Qi people took over because they were cheap. As a result, the storage volume reached a staggering 10 million people. They might be excited before, but now they only have to worry because the quantity is too large. They simply can't handle it.
