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

At that time, what weapon should Zhao Ji use to fight the enemy?

This is a very real and cruel problem.

After the Tian Hu and Goguryeo armies set up camp there, it didn't take long before a pre-military meeting was organized.

As for the topic discussed in this pre-military meeting, it is naturally related to Zhao Ji and others.

The tough frontal battle not long ago had already cast a huge shadow on the hearts of the generals under Tian Hu and Goguryeo.

Their two armies were both covetous of Zhao Ji, the leader of the Song Dynasty, and at the same time they were afraid of the steel behemoth in the opponent's hands.

So for a moment, I was extremely anxious but helpless.

At this time, the generals on both sides wanted the other side to attack first, and then their own side to follow.

In this way, our own troops can minimize their losses in the battle for Zhao Ji.

But the other party is not stupid. You want me to lead the soldiers to charge forward and die, and then you will reap the benefits alone. Why is it so beautiful?

As a result, the two generals were stuck on the issue of leading the charge.

The generals of both sides discussed this issue until midnight.

The Goguryeo general Quan Chengcheng, who had many clever ideas, just came up with a relatively good idea.

In his method, the two parties attacked at the same time regardless of the order.

As for the time chosen, it was placed at a time when both sides' armies were exhausted.

……

On one side of the entrance of Yingchou Canyon, there is a temporary war room.

Zhao Ji, Zhong Shidao and Shen Kuo had not rested until now.

What was placed in front of the three of them was a combat map near Yingchou Gorge.

But I don’t know if the outliner of this combat map is limited, or if the combat maps of this period have always been like this.

Only Zhao Ji himself found this awkward.

When he felt helpless, he complained:

"Old General Zhong, the lieutenants under your command are really, at such a critical node, but they don't know how to get a combat sandbox. They only put out such a simple combat map and put it here. Many arrangements cannot be made. It’s presented intuitively.”

After hearing this, the expression on the teacher's face suddenly froze:

"Officials, what, what is a combat sandbox?"

Zhao Ji was a little confused:

"Old General Zhong, after all, you are also a general in hundreds of battles in our Great Song Dynasty. How come you don't even know the necessary things in battle, such as the combat sandbox?"

It's okay that Zhao Ji didn't say this. As soon as he said this, the teacher's head shook even more cheerfully than before:

"I beg the officials to forgive me, but the general really doesn't know what the war sandbox is, so I ask the officials to make it clear."

Zhao Ji looked at the puzzled expressions on the faces of the two ministers in front of him, and then he suddenly realized:

Maybe, these two people really don't know what that thing is?

Otherwise, his face at this time would not show such a confused look.

So at this moment, Zhao Ji could only patiently explain to the two veterans what was called a combat sandbox:

"Essentially, these combat maps are generally purely paper-based and can only show some of the flat terrain and landforms such as mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, hills, and depressions to combat generals."

"Although the composition of such a combat map is extremely simple, it will still cause a lot of trouble when the combat generals are faced with such an unintuitive flat map when arranging their troops."

"The combat sandbox I just mentioned is much more intuitive than this combat map."

"To put it simply, it means that all the terrain and landforms in the combat area are scaled down and displayed on a large table."

"We are near Yingchou Gorge, so we should use soil, sand, rocks, branches and other materials to build one on the combat sand table. Its shape is very similar to the outline of Yingchou Gorge and place it there."

"If there is a large orchard next to the main road of Yingchou Gorge, then some small branches full of leaves can also be inserted there to represent it."

"In this way, all terrain objects within hundreds of miles can be arranged on the table in this way."

"This kind of combat sandbox is not only intuitive, but also makes it easier to arrange troops and formations."

When Zhao Ji finished speaking these words, although Shen Kuo also looked very surprised, he didn't think there was anything strange about it.

After all, Zhao Ji had always described something to him, and he led his subordinates to make it according to what Zhao Ji said.

As for this kind of combat sandbox, it just needs to be made out of some soil, sand, or sticks covered with leaves, according to the proportions of the terrain.

So, isn't it extremely simple?

So in his opinion, there is really nothing complicated about this kind of thing, it just has a little more novelty.

But from Zhong Shidao's point of view, what Zhao Ji just said to him was like discovering a whole new continent. It was both surprising and surprising.

After all, for a general like him who has led troops to fight all year round, there have been many times when he only knew the terrain and orientation, but did not know what the specific environment of the combat area looked like, which led to trouble. Many serious negligence and other issues.

But these are really helpless and disturbing experiences for the teacher.

But what if the combat sandbox that Zhao Ji just told him could be produced as soon as possible?

Then the problems that occurred during marches and battles before this can be greatly avoided.

In this way, it is equivalent to eliminating a large part of Zhongshi Dao's heart.

How can it not make him excited?

Just when Zhongshi was at this point, he still wanted to ask Zhao Ji for advice on issues such as the combat sandbox.

Outside the tent, a rushing sound like a roaring river and sea suddenly sounded.

That kind of sound only makes people's eardrums hurt.

Zhao Ji and Zhong Shidao's hearts tightened. Just as they were about to run out of the tent, they heard the roar of their own tanks and chariots, as well as the harsh screams produced by several artillery shells piercing the air.

Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and said to the cultivator beside him:

"Old General, first go and see if there are any enemy troops in Yingchou Canyon?"

"If not, we will immediately send two of the three tanks to the other side to support the operation."
