Chapter 149 Who is the fool?
As the military meeting finally came to a conclusion, the meeting finally ended.
Prince Qing and Yu Jin went to the military camp to begin preparations.
"Lin Yi, you're not sulking in your room, are you?"
At this time, Huangfu Qingling took the elevator to Lin Yi's room.
"of course not."
"If you have this time, you might as well plan the renovation."
Lin Yi shook his head slightly, then came up with some rough designs.
What Huangfu Qingling could see were three bicycle tracks and a bicycle rear hook that could transport goods.
In addition to the current rail bicycle line in the east of the capital, Lin Yi plans to set up a rail bicycle line in the four directions of east, south, west and north of the capital.
With convenient transportation, the scope of the future capital will not only be limited by the city walls!
"I see. Can these tracks be extended?"
"It would be best if there was a passage to the north!"
Huangfu Qingling asked excitedly, "I would like to connect with Yan State. It will be convenient for travel and will speed up development."
"It's not that easy."
"This thing has disadvantages."
Lin Yi slowly said, "What if after Yannan, the emperor of Yan wants to attack?"
These words instantly made Huangfu Qingling realize something.
Rail bikes are fast to transport, and with a rear suspension, they can carry more people...
But on the other hand, this thing can be used to transport troops!
If we blindly increase the number of lines, the enemy may reach the capital in one day!
"I understand. You plan these three first."
"What about the port? And the shipbuilding?"
Huangfu Qingling calmed down a little and didn't seem so excited.
"Shipbuilding is a major project, and it's not that easy to build ships on the Nanhe River."
Lin Yi said as he took out the map.
It is two hundred miles east of the capital to reach a city with access to the sea.
"We build ships here, and at first, merchants can't use them."
Lin Yi pointed to the city called Nanhekou and said, "The army must first ensure safety on the water before we can allow merchants to come."
"Yes, that's a good idea."
Huangfu Qingling praised.
She already had countless good feelings towards Lin Yi in her heart.
Every time she saw Lin Yi coming up with these new ideas, she wondered why Lin Yi didn't want to be an official?
If Lin Yi could become the prime minister, her life would be much easier!
Moreover, after such management, there will be great development. By then, the estuaries and coasts can be used, and rail bicycles can be developed for thousands of miles!
When transportation develops, other cities will also become prosperous...
Thinking of this, she couldn't calm down.
……
The next morning, Prince Qing began to prepare to withdraw his troops early, but he left more than 300 troops on each of the three sides for camouflage.
The army then gathered south of the capital.
By this time, Sun Hu had been marching all night and was already more than thirty miles away from the capital!
He was riding a horse and saw from afar that Prince Qing's army was gathering!
"Hahaha, they're stupid!"
"If you attack us in advance, Prime Minister Xiao will attack from the capital!"
Sun Hu laughed loudly, and while ordering his soldiers to charge and attack, he also made fun of King Qing's incompetence!
At the same time, in the capital, Xiao Changyun heard the news of the withdrawal and immediately came to the city wall on the south side of the capital.
What he saw was a large number of troops and Xuanwu chariots marching southward, facing Sun Hu's mighty army of 70,000!
"Prince Qing is stupid!"
"He actually dared to withdraw the siege?"
Xiao Changyun was also on the city wall, laughing at Prince Qing for being stupid, while arranging soldiers to leave the city and stab him in the back.
In Prince Qing's army, all the soldiers were rubbing their hands in readiness beside the Black Tortoise Chariot.
They even made various large slingshots overnight.
It is to be able to throw everything out in an instant.
"Everyone, get ready!"
After they advanced to a position twenty miles south of the city, they began to form a battle line.
The front row looked like an ordinary army formation, with soldiers holding large shields and spears, ready to face the charge of cavalry.
With the large shield placed in front, no one in Sun Hu's army could see the situation behind except for the Xuanwu chariot that was a bit taller than the others.
The army of 70,000 people kept charging forward like crazy.
They were all exhausted after the long march. Although their numbers were large and they looked impressive, a closer look revealed that many of them were simply there to carry out military orders.
At this time, the two sides were ten miles apart. With the continuous replenishment of Sun Hu's army, this number was constantly shrinking.
Sun Hu rushed to the front, taking the lead as if he didn't take Prince Qing's 10,000 men into consideration at all.
The other soldiers, encouraged by Sun Hu, also felt that this was a battle to charge forward and reap the rewards.
After a moment, Prince Qing calculated that the distance was about right and immediately gave the order.
"put!"
Before he finished speaking, all the "car-mounted crossbows" and makeshift slingshots on the Xuanwu vehicles released various things at the same time.
Bombs and Molotov cocktails were flying in the sky, rushing straight towards Sun Hu's 70,000 troops.
"boom!"
When the first bomb was ignited by the flame of the Molotov cocktail and the first explosion occurred...
Countless bombs began to explode wildly.
Countless fragments and gravel killed and injured the surrounding soldiers.
The flame of the Molotov cocktail will not go out in a short time.
In an instant, the southern part of the capital became a sea of fire.
Under the sea of fire that stretched for dozens of miles, countless people were burned to death or injured, not to mention those who were cut by shrapnel or killed by the explosion...
Seeing this scene, Sun Hu was stunned.
Before he could react, the explosion next to him knocked him unconscious!
He was fine, but his horse had been pierced by all kinds of fragments and was lying on the ground motionless!
Xiao Changyun was also dumbfounded.
The panic on his face now was completely different from the ridicule just now.
He never thought that Prince Qing’s army would have such powerful weapons!
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat!"
He gave orders in a panic.
Fortunately, the army he sent out to "stab in the back" had just set out, and there was still time!
Seeing the sea of fire in the distance, Xiao Changyun knew that the reinforcements were finished.
……
On the front battlefield, under the sea of fire.
As Sun Hu was knocked unconscious by the bomb, a large number of soldiers began to flee.
Even though there are definitely quite a few of them left.
These explosions and Molotov cocktails only killed or injured five or six thousand soldiers, but the morale of the army was broken and the situation was out of control.
This was the first time in his life that Prince Qing saw what it meant to collapse at the slightest touch!
Before they even charged, Sun Hu's 70,000-strong army had already been completely routed.
"charge!"
"A reward of one thousand taels of silver will be given to anyone who captures Sun Hu alive!"
"Kill!"
Following King Qing's roar, the soldiers who had used up all the Molotov cocktails and bombs rushed forward to reap the rewards, howling.
Those who ran slowly became their records.
After a period of harvesting, Sun Hu was captured alive!
Xiao Changyun watched helplessly as his 70,000 reinforcements were completely disbanded...
