A volley was fired, and the group of Fuso soldiers at the front fell down in response to the sound of gunfire.

The appearance of muskets in this rank is not a strange thing, so Takeda Yoshiki will not make a fuss.

Not to mention that the opponent has even dug trenches, so how can there be no musketeers?

In comparison, the range of the opponent's musket was what really concerned him. It seemed to have a longer range than the musket in his hand...

This discovery undoubtedly put Takeda Yoshiki under a lot of pressure.

In the confrontation between muskets and muskets, range suppression is very fatal, which makes the situation of the musketeers he brought out suddenly become embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, before he could think about it, something unexpected happened again on the battlefield!

Accompanied by a scream, the charging momentum of his Fuso army was inexplicably checked, and then they began to retreat directly.

"What's going on? Why retreat!?"

During the questioning, Takeda Yoshiki showed obvious anger. For an army commander, the most irritating thing is when the soldiers under his command disobey orders.

However, his anger obviously did not affect the Fuso soldiers on the front line.

With a quick retreat, the Fuso soldiers quickly escaped from the range of the riflemen, and the fire suppression stopped at this moment.

During this period, the messenger soldiers on the battlefield rushed back to their own base to report the situation on the front line to Takeda Yoshiki.

"What's going on? Who gave the order for you to retreat without permission!"

The clearly angry words made the messenger tremble in his heart, and then he quickly knelt down on one knee and said...

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, the retreat order was given by General Kato."

"Kato?"

After hearing this, Takeda Yoshiki frowned. Kato was one of the generals he brought out for this expedition. He was outstanding in ability and very loyal, so he was deeply trusted by him and would never disobey his orders without reason.

.

Thinking of this, Takeda Yoshiki asked decisively.

"What's the reason? Why retreat?"

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, this is what happened..."

In response to this, the messenger soldier did not dare to delay and quickly told all the situation on the front line.

After listening, Takeda Yoshiki's facial muscles showed obvious twitching.

Not only that trench, but the Chinese army on the opposite side also dug two ravines around the trench to trap them, and the bottom of the gully was filled with sharpened ground thorns!

From where he was now, he couldn't be seen at all due to the distance. The frontline soldiers only discovered this situation after they got closer.

The arrangement opposite actually carries several weights?

For a moment, Takeda Yoshiki didn't know whether he should be shocked or angry.

Facing Luo Ji, who had laid many obstacles and started a stronghold war with him, Takeda Yoshiki's first round of testing was destined to end in failure.

But there are more doubts in my heart.

One circle of trenches and two circles of ravine traps. The amount of work is too great, right? How could it be completed in two months?

But the facts before his eyes made Takeda Yoshiki's mind even more confused.

In the end, I just stopped thinking about it. The worst case scenario is that I'll take advantage of him at the drop of a hat!

In fact, during this expedition, it was impossible for Luo Ji to sacrifice his troops and bring a large number of construction workers to the battle.

The reason why he was able to build such large-scale trenches and ravine traps in a short period of time was because he brought a special race with him this time.

That is the Badgerman of the orc clan!

The Badger himself is not very powerful in combat, but he is a good digger at digging holes. He is extremely efficient, even to the point of being astonishing. When digging holes, he is like a drill.

At that time, because of this racial characteristic, Luo Ji sent the badgers to build sewers for the civilization of all realms.

And this time, when he was arranging his own troops, he brought out two thousand badgers!

The configuration of two thousand badgers will definitely have some impact on the military strength, but it is definitely not as big as Takeda Yoshiki imagined.

A few days later, the elf druid, who transformed into a giant eagle and monitored the movements of Fuso's army, flew back again.

"Reporting to your majesty, the Fusang army is cutting down a large number of trees and digging soil in a forest ten days away from here."

Luo Ji nodded slightly after hearing the report.

"Keep staring."

"yes!"

Cutting down trees and digging soil? He probably had an idea of ​​what the other side wanted to do.

It's okay, just let them be.

In this expedition, he did not bring the Giant Eagle Knight with him.

Having mobilized so many troops, he always had to keep a trump card in his civilization just in case.

If all the giant eagle knights are brought out, then if something unexpected happens to the civilization of all worlds, they may not even have time to provide support.

Now let’s get back to the topic. Half a month later, the fully prepared Fuso army came over again.

But this time, Takeda Yoshiki was not in a hurry to take action.

Although he was worried about the situation in his territory, he also knew that the current battle situation could not be rushed, and he had to calm down.

I saw that an entire Fusang army had set up a camp on the edge of the battlefield, and placed heavy security and patrol teams around the perimeter, confronting Luo Ji's trench positions from a distance.

The next week passed, but there was absolutely no intention of attacking.

This made Wang Kai, who was guarding Luo Ji, suspicious.

"Your Majesty, what kind of trick is this Fuso man trying to do? He neither attacks nor retreats. Is it like he is wasting his time with us?"

Luo Ji smiled slightly when he heard this.

"He's waiting."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Wait for a heavy rain."

When he said these five words, the smile on Luo Ji's face couldn't help but become more obvious.

Then looking at Wang Kai, who still hadn't come back to his senses, he spoke again slowly...

"Once it rains, firearms are basically useless."

At this moment, Wang Kai finally reacted, and his expression suddenly changed.

Although he is not good at strategy, he also knows that the riflemen are the main force in this wave of their civilization. Once the firearms are abolished, the impact on their combat power will definitely be insignificant.

However, the next second, Wang Kai quickly relaxed again when he looked at Luo Ji, who was still sitting there.

He didn't understand other things, but looking at their majesty's posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, he could confirm one thing, that is, their majesty was fully in control of this situation.

Looking up at the sky with the sun shining high in the sky, Luo Ji stretched hard and stretched his muscles.

The fact that Takeda Yoshiki was able to remain calm and wait quietly for the right time in such a situation made Luo Ji have to look at him with a high regard.
Chapter completed!
