The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

Chapter 611 If he's already eliminated, then what am I, still studying his military treatises? "Li Er, you're not still thinking about your Xuanjia Army, are you?"

"Those things are great at charging into battle, but when it comes to conquering cities and seizing territory, they're not quite up to par."

"You can't expect them, clad in heavy armor, to climb ladders and breach the city walls, can you?"

"Moreover, what will you do if your heavy cavalry is bombarded by cannons during a charge?"

Old Zhu saw through Li Er's plan.

In his view, the Xuanjia Army was one of the options, but it should never be the main force.

The role of cavalry on the battlefield is to crush the enemy's resistance.

Once the enemy troops are forced to retreat into the city, they become useless.

Moreover, while the armor of the Xuanjia Army might be able to stop muskets, it would definitely not be able to stop cannons!

If Li Er relies too much on cavalry, he will likely suffer a severe consequence.

Compared to him, previous emperors probably didn't understand the power of cannons very well.

They may have all seen the roar of cannons in the sky, easily annihilating the cavalry outside the pass.

But you won't truly understand unless you've experienced it firsthand or actually encountered it.

Upon hearing this, Li Er was also taken aback.

"I recall that you spent a considerable amount of time transporting and preparing the cannons, didn't you?"

"At that time, if it weren't for your fourth son risking his life to lead the troops to hold back the enemy, it would have been difficult to cause such heavy casualties."

Moreover, Old Zhu had been preparing for that bombardment for a long time.

Along with the tens of millions of taels of silver that had been plundered from various wealthy gentry, a significant portion of it was also burned!

Could the Qing dynasty have replicated such an apocalyptic scene anytime, anywhere?

impossible!

"We still have to be on guard. Although the assessment from the sky shows that the Manchus are incredibly weak, if they really go all out, who knows how far they can go? After all, we don't really know them that well, do we?"

Old Zhu continued to persuade him.

It's not that I care too much about Li Er, but I don't want such a dynasty to have an easy time in any era!

Besides not holding back himself, he also hoped that no one else would fail!

"Don't worry, I will be on guard. Besides, it was impossible to expect five thousand people to conquer this country in the first place."

"Five thousand soldiers can only serve as initial capital. In the future, whether it is to conquer cities or defend captured cities, more manpower will be needed."

However, he believes that the manpower problem will be solved soon.

The Qing dynasty's practices must have already aroused widespread public resentment.

The reason why the people did not resist was not because they did not want to, but simply because they dared not and could not.

They were both powerless and unarmed.

In this situation, let alone ordinary people, anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that even if they rebel, they will only face certain death.

Once someone can give them hope of overthrowing the Qing dynasty, then there's no need to say anything more.

"Don't worry, Old Zhu. I may have been a bit impulsive when I was young, but I have a pretty clear understanding of the overall situation."

"With the Emperor and Uncle Bao joining forces, we are confident that no one in the world can stop us!"

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. As long as the people see a glimmer of hope, even if it is illusory, they will surely hold on to it tightly."

"After all, they don't want much, they just want to live."

"And I can ensure their survival, not only survival, but also a good and dignified life!"

Li Er was resolute.

The next moment, Yang Guang's dissatisfied voice rang out.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'you'? It's clearly the Emperor!"

"Li Er, don't flatter yourself. In this challenge, you are merely my pawn. The one who will truly destroy the Manchu Qing and enhance the prestige of our Central Plains is me!"

Li Er: "..."

For some reason, he now dislikes Yang Guang.

He didn't have any ill feelings towards Yang Guang originally.

During the Qianlong era.

Fu Heng was now feeling extremely uneasy.

From Emperor Gaozu of Han to Emperor Wu of Song, that's one thing.

Now, Emperor Taizu of Ming has also come with Chang Yuchun and Xu Da.

Emperor Yang of Sui also brought along the limited edition of Li Shimin, the General of the Heavenly Strategy, Qin Qiong, the Double Flower Red Stick of the Tang Dynasty, and the almost undisputed God of War of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing!

If Emperor Gaozu of Han and Emperor Wu of Song, along with their respective 5,000 men, could be considered to be in a difficult mode, then adding these individuals...

Although the challenge has not yet begun, Fu Heng feels that if these people were to come to the present era at the same time, then there would be no need to fight; they could just raise the white flag.

Forget about fighting, most of his military strategy was learned from the military books left behind by these people.

Even if you want him to surpass his teachers, is it really necessary for so many masters to come and discipline him at the same time?

"Fu Heng, what are you afraid of?"

"Don't worry, they have a lot of people, and our Qing Dynasty has many famous generals. You won't be left to face the enemy alone."

"I will send Generals Hailancha and Fukang'an to assist you, and we will make sure they never return!"

Emperor Kangxi was slightly displeased with Fuheng's flustered expression.

As warriors of our Great Qing Dynasty, we should remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapses before us!

There are only four people. According to the words on the sky, there should be six more!

If all ten chosen candidates selected to participate in this challenge during the Qianlong era, then things would be a little more troublesome.

But given their arrogance, would they?

"Even if all ten chosen ones come here, I believe that with the power of the Qing Dynasty, we can still suppress and kill them all!"

"They're just old relics from the previous dynasty. I'll show them with facts that they've been rendered obsolete!"

Fu Heng: "..."

Eliminated?

Who wrote the Art of War by Duke Wei that I was reading last night?

Oh.

Li Jing!

If he's already been eliminated, then what am I, who's still studying his military strategy books?

Your Majesty, are you really serious?

"Um, Your Majesty..."

Fuheng pondered how to subtly tell His Majesty that some of the old fogies he mentioned had left behind military treatises that were still regarded as truth by countless generals.

Unfortunately, Emperor Qianlong neither understood nor cared.

He only cares about his own face. Regardless of whether he can win or not, he is determined not to lose the verbal battle on the sky!

"That's so grating to my ears. I may be an old codger, but my Dragon Coil Staff is not."

"Kangxi, I hope your head is as hard as your mouth, and can withstand a few more blows. If you die from one blow, then I will be disappointed."

The fifth name appeared in the sky at this moment.

Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin!

Emperor Qianlong: "..."

Five contestants, four founding emperors, and one Yang Guang who brought Li Shimin with him.

He's starting to have some doubts about life.

Is his luck really that bad?

At the same time, a sentence from Zhao Kuangyin flashed across the sky again.

"Pengju, you have worked with me before, and I admire you. Go and make the preparations. You will choose the five thousand soldiers and the remaining two men."

Yue Pengju?

Emperor Qianlong hadn't reacted yet, but Fuheng was truly going crazy.

Another formidable enemy!

How could they possibly fight if Emperor Taizu of Song were paired with Yue Fei?
