Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

On the outskirts of the east coast, after a few days of gathering, the subordinates of the Wu family had quickly gathered their troops.

At the same time, the main force of the Wu family was also dispatched from Tianwu City.

Different from all other forces.

This time, the Wu family arranged nearly 300,000 troops in just a few days.

This number alone is enough to demonstrate the immense power of the Wu family.

But that's not the most amazing thing.

According to news from the front line, it is said that the Wu family spent a lot of money this time and purchased a huge amount of weapons and ammunition from the Nanyang merchant caravan in one go.

It is even possible to fully arm an army of 300,000.

Together with the troops from their various branches, they already have a million soldiers!

Compared with Qin Ming's army of only about 30,000, the Wu family's suppression power is almost visible to the naked eye.

"Your Majesty, Wu Tianxing has stationed troops on the outskirts and blocked all roads. There are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed on every important road. It seems that we can only hold our ground."

Chang Baishan found Qin Ming and hesitated to speak.

In fact, staying where they are is not a problem. The biggest problem is whether they can withstand it.

Not only Chang Baishan, but the soldiers below also felt that the situation might be very bad. The enemy had dozens of times more troops. Even in a siege, Qin Ming's troops were on the defensive and could have some advantages.

But with such a huge number, even if the other side spit at every one of them, they would be drowned.

"Have they done anything since they arrived in the coastal area?"

Compared to their panic, Qin Ming still looked trance-like.

This morning, he was even interested in calling over a few craftsmen from the army to discuss with them some new structures for the army's weapons.

This made Chang Baishan very angry.

On normal days, there is no problem in researching some new structures.

But this happened during the war, so even if it was developed, it would not be possible to put it into the battlefield so quickly.

Faced with Qin Ming's attitude of keeping calm until death, Chang Baishan naturally couldn't help it again.

I came here today to hint at something, just to urge Qin Ming to pay more attention.

"They chose the most reliable method. Wu Tianxing is indeed the young master of the Wu family. He is surprisingly steady in his work."

“It’s not concrete, is it?”

Qin Ming thought about it for a moment and guessed Wu Tianxing's method.

According to the telegram sent from the west coast some time ago, Qin Yue should have abandoned the protection of the Yun family with his 100,000 troops and turned to join the Wu family.

He had a map of Daqian, as well as concrete and blueprints for some new weapons.

All of this can be handed over to the Wu family in exchange for his survival.

If Wu Tianxing got the concrete and chose to build a defense line to trap Qin Ming inside, that would be the safest tactic.

This guy is also terrifying. Even though he has a million soldiers, he is not willing to waste even a little bit of energy.

I just want to use this method to take down Qin Ming.

I'm afraid the Wu family has also learned about the explosive power of Qin Ming's troops from other channels, and they are afraid that if they push him too far, they will send troops to fight them head-on, which will hurt the vitality of the Wu family.

Wu Tianxing can stop Qin Ming's troops from going crazy on the east coast by building a concrete fortress and using a counter-attack against Qin Ming in his own way.

"He's a talented person, but he's good at taking care of the family, but not good at exploring new things."

"If I were here, I would probably take the initiative to attack."

Qin Ming spoke slowly. He had already figured out some of Wu Tianxing's personality.

"Your Majesty, this should be the best solution. Why would you attack?"

Chang Baishan was very surprised, and then he looked down at the map on the table.

The densely packed crisscrossing gullies on it were all defensive measures they had prepared in advance.

Under the siege of the dragnet, it is absolutely difficult for the enemy to attack.

It's best to just waste time slowly.

Qin Ming waved his hand.

"There is a way, but he hasn't realized it yet."

"How much have you prepared?"

Chang Baishan swallowed, and there was a hint of admiration in his voice.

If we talk about strategies, Qin Ming has probably already planned several aspects.

But Wu Tianxing's ability was far from what he expected, and now he had only reached the first level.

"Let them build. The concrete formula in Qin Yue's hand is fake. When the time comes, we will take the initiative to launch a surprise attack."

Qin Ming patted Chang Baishan on the shoulder, turned around and continued to sit at the table to study their weapons improvements.

Recently, Qin Ming has improved the lethality of gunpowder and even made nitro explosives.

I was just wondering if I could make some improvements in firearms.

So, bypassing gunpowder, Qin Ming found several craftsmen and began to discuss the concept of new weapons.

In the end, they came up with some good weapons.

Among them, the howitzer and cannon are the two weapons that Qin Ming is most satisfied with.

Although both weapons are cannons, they have essential differences.

Howitzers fire with a curved trajectory, crossing terrain obstacles, covering enemies more than ten miles away, and providing fire support to troops.

In addition, it can be equipped with a variety of different ammunition, such as high-explosive bombs, flares, and fragmentation bombs.

While having multiple effects, it also has high mobility and can quickly approach and support multiple locations on the battlefield.

The cannon is more direct.

It is a large, accurate lance that penetrates in a straight line, capable of piercing an armored vehicle in one shot.

Once it is really made, Qin Ming’s existing armored vehicles will not be able to withstand it.

Because of its wide range of uses, Qin Ming started planning early. After everything was ready, he sent the drawings back through the newly established maritime intelligence station, allowing the Daqian factory to start production.

Once these weapons are implemented in the army, the changes to the battlefield will be enormous!

While Qin Ming was working in full swing at his own pace.

In the Wu family's camp, Qin Yue, who had arrived exhausted, was already standing in front of a camp with a nervous mood.

On the way here, in order to show his sincerity, Qin Yue arranged for someone to deliver all the drawings and concrete formulas he had to the Wu family.

After coming over, he indeed saw the Wu family using his concrete formula.

This also gave Qin Yue a little more hope in his heart.

After all, as long as the other party is willing to use it, they will naturally remember your kindness.

The Wu family is so huge, it would be much easier for him to just give himself a few gifts than to fight for it with all his strength in the Xiao family.

However, although his idea was beautiful, there were not many special planes in reality.

After waiting here for more than an hour, Qin Yue, whose legs were sore from standing, didn't even wait for the tent door to open.

This made him unable to bear it any longer.

Finally, he spoke to the guard at the door:

"Excuse me, when can you see me, sir?"

The other party glanced at him with a sarcastic look on his face.
