Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"We shouldn't fight this alone. Let the teacher talk to them."

The number of troops on the front line is critical. If this continues, the situation will be very unfavorable for them.

If Emperor Qian could call for assistance from overseas troops, then Qin Ming could naturally call for assistance from surrounding countries.

"Makes sense."

Song Dingsheng nodded and quickly continued:

"Your Majesty, I think the Southern Barbarians will only pretend to do something. The Western Regions and Western Shu are easier to talk to, but they won't send too many troops."

"We can actually broaden our horizons, for example, seek assistance from... the countries in Southeast Asia."

Since the Nanyang countries chose to stand on Qin Ming's side in the struggle between Yan Dynasty and Qin Ming.

Corresponding behaviors will naturally be revealed in subsequent wars.

Hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good job, Old Song. You've learned to draw inferences from one example."

"Ah, it's all thanks to your Majesty's good teaching."

"Leave the affairs of the Nanyang countries to Wu Shizhong. No matter how many people come, give them a satisfactory price."

Qin Ming had good relations with the countries in Southeast Asia and even helped them quell the chaos.

There is a saying that goes, those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters.

Now when Qin Ming thought about it, he realized that he could actually call for quite a lot of reinforcements.

"okay."

Song Dingsheng left quickly.

As soon as he returned to the military camp outside the Taiping Mountains, several soldiers handed him an express letter.

All of it is news about requests for supplies at major checkpoints.

It made him feel overwhelmed.

"Sir, the front line is fighting for life and death. Even if we just smoke in the back, we can't catch up with their ammunition consumption speed."

Several quartermasters who knew the situation came over and complained to Song Dingsheng helplessly.

Song Dingsheng glared and said firmly:

"Why can't you catch up?"

"You guys, take the train and tell all the factories and workshops to stop operations. A batch of molds will be delivered to them tonight. They will be fully utilized to produce bows and crossbows for the soldiers on the front lines!"

"As for the materials needed..."

Having said that, Song Dingsheng once again demonstrated his talent for drawing inferences from one instance.

"Go to the Nanman and ask them for 300,000 kilograms of wood within two days!"

After thinking about it, Song Dingsheng added:

"If it is made directly into bows and arrows, the price can be 10% higher than the market price."

The southern barbarians are all mountains and forests, with plenty of wood.

In addition, their major tribes were short of silver.

Song Dingsheng's two-pronged approach not only made use of their resources but also their manpower to provide equipment for the war.

This is much easier than asking them to directly arrange people to participate in the war.

These jackals from the Southern Barbarians have only been obedient on the surface so far. If something really happens and they are needed to help, they will definitely stay away.

It is safer to use silver to form an alliance.

"You guys, if the train back to Los Angeles arrives soon, remember to call me."

After arranging everything, Song Dingsheng also boarded the return train.

He kept Qin Ming's arrangements in mind.

The most important matter still needs to be handled by Mr. Chen Shimao.

……

After everything in the Southern Dynasty was back on track.

Wu Qingye, located in Xishan, finally faced the biggest challenge of this war.

The 15,000-man army summoned from the major generals' offices has gathered at a location less than 200 miles away from Wuqingye's military camp.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Wu Qingye's face was also covered with a layer of gloom.

He called several of his captains to his side to discuss matters.

"These palace soldiers are all extremely brave. We don't need to confront them head-on at this stage."

"General, why are you fighting like this?"

"Don't we have gunpowder? We can just surround them!"

"Yes, as long as these people dare to come over, we will definitely teach them a lesson!"

All the soldiers under Wu Qingye were ready to fight.

Compared with the front line in the northern part of the Central Plains, their situation here has always been lukewarm.

After simply repelling the enemy's troops, they did not take any other action.

This made all the generals restless.

"These palace soldiers... do you really think they are enemies?"

Facing everyone's doubts, Wu Qingye spoke in a low voice with a meaningful tone.

"If he's not an enemy, how can he be one of ours?"

"It's really possible."

Wu Qingye nodded unexpectedly and said:

"To be honest, Your Majesty discussed this matter with me before entering the Taiping Mountains."

"After conquering the Northern Dynasty, these Northern Dynasty troops can actually be used by us."

"To cause them too much damage at this stage would be like cutting off one's own arm!"

Everyone knows about Qin Ming's military strength problem.

However, the number of troops of the Northern Dynasty was extremely large.

They dared to come to this battle because they relied on the help of Yan Dynasty.

But if there were no Yan Dynasty, such a huge army would actually be a paper tiger.

He can even be recruited by Qin Ming.

"how so……"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"General, how do we fight this battle?"

"I can't always be a coward!"

"That's right. Whether we can conquer the Northern Dynasty is still uncertain. Why are you already thinking about their troops?"

As their doubts grew.

Wu Qingye suddenly stood up and said with a firm look:

"Everyone, His Majesty can definitely defeat the Yan army."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

After all, this is the king who came from Lingnan.

No one would question his methods.

At this time, a captain stood up and suggested:

"If you don't need too much gunpowder, you can distribute some of it and send it to several major checkpoints in the northern part of the Central Plains."

"Yes, we occupy the terrain, so we don't need much."

"I heard they can't hold on any longer."

After hearing everyone's discussions, Wu Qingye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to say these words means that they have agreed to temporary defense.

There will no longer be much friction between the two sides' troops.

"Okay, from now on, 70% of the gunpowder will be sent to Henglan Pass first!"

Wu Qingye also heard about the tragic situation at Henglan Pass, so he decided to supply Henglan Pass first.

The extra gunpowder will be given to Chang Baishan and Liu Chuang.

With the joint efforts of many parties, bows, arrows and gunpowder were quickly delivered to various checkpoints.

Yan Guangshou, who continued to attack, felt the pressure again.

That day, after the troops retreating to the rear reported the number of casualties, he finally couldn't help but explode in anger:

"Why!?"

"Why can't they take down a small pass even though they clearly have no gunpowder reserves?"

Several men explained with gritted teeth:

"General, they are now using crossbows and bows, which are extremely lethal."

"The key quantity is still large. It feels like another batch has been produced."

"There's nothing we can do. They have too many factories, and their production speed can definitely keep up with consumption."

Everyone complained to Yan Guangshou.

Their imagination is very beautiful, but reality is always far from their imagination.

Qin Ming's troops adapted to the rhythm of the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

The factories in the rear delivered supplies with astonishing efficiency!

Yan Guangshou gritted his teeth, slammed the table, and stood up suddenly.

"I just don't believe that their production speed can be so fast, and bows and crossbows can be shipped here anytime and anywhere!"

"The entire army is mobilized tonight! No matter how tough the bone is, we will chew it down!"
