Chapter 1246

Some warlords are further away from the Taiping Dao and are not connected, so they don't need to worry about the Taiping Dao's threat for the time being.

On the contrary, other warlords are the greatest threat to them.

But being forced to take action by the aristocratic families, losing soldiers and generals, how can they not be angry?

But small warlords have no way to fight back against those great aristocratic families.

After all, even a warlord occupying one province, facing the alliance of those top aristocratic families, is not enough to look at; many warlords are supported by aristocratic families.

Without the support of these aristocratic families, it is very difficult for them to grow.

So facing the aristocratic alliance, they have no confidence to resist, but this battle suffered a lot, and they are naturally full of resentment.

There are not a few warlords, large and small, in the world; this time, no less than ten participated in the siege of the Taiping Dao; of course, there are also some who want to fish in troubled waters.

They thought, anyway, the Taiping Dao is powerful, and the foundation is large; facing the imperial court's siege, it will definitely pay attention to this, and they will sneak attack from behind, and if they can grab some benefits, they will grab some.

Unfortunately, the Taiping Dao is much more powerful than they imagined; even facing the siege of several major warlords and the imperial court, not only did it not retreat, but it gave a head-on blow, and at the same time, the sneak attacks of those small warlords were also beaten up.

It can be said that these warlords also stole a chicken but lost the rice.

This battle, not to say it was a tiger head and snake tail, at least for twenty years, the imperial court and several major warlords would not dare to take the initiative to attack the Taiping Dao.

In the battle just now, the Taiping Dao actually appeared with three million elites, especially the lethality of those guns and cannons, which also shocked the major warlords.

Facing the artillery shells all over the sky, it is not inferior to magic; it is equivalent to thousands of magic spells bombarding the battlefield without interruption.

And the military energy on the battlefield has limited weakening of artillery, not as strong as the weakening of magic.

This led to the fact that on the battlefield, whether it is a Daoist cultivator or a civil-dao cultivator, it is very difficult for them to play a powerful lethality on the battlefield.

Moreover, the major warlords, although there are many civil-dao Confucian scholars, it is impossible to send them all to the battlefield.

How dangerous the battlefield is, if one is not careful, one will die and disappear.

And the Taiping Dao's artillery is just dead things; even if the enemy rushes up and destroys them, for the Taiping Dao, in fact, as long as the artillery soldiers run away,

Then it doesn't hurt, because the industrialized Taiping Dao can quickly forge a batch of artillery, which is much faster than other warlords who are still forging manually.

And the technology of artillery is also much higher.

After all, the artillery technology stolen by other warlords is mostly what the Taiping Dao has eliminated, even if other warlords here also learn the Taiping Dao's science.

Unfortunately, there are too few people, and most Confucian cultivators regard the Taiping Dao's science as strange skills and techniques, and many people don't pay attention to it.

In this way, how can they compare to the Taiping Dao?

Those artillery technologies involve all aspects, from inside to outside, with many types of technology, requiring systematic improvement.

Without powerful industrialization, it is simply impossible to forge them.

Just like the early 20th century in later generations, even if the Qing Dynasty could get foreign technology, it was very difficult to forge guns and cannons, especially artillery, and even in the land of Fusang, it could not forge heavy artillery.

An artillery piece involves many technologies; if one technology is not up to standard, you cannot forge it.

Of course, in the mythical world, there are cultivators who can hand-rub, but the speed of hand-rubbing, how can it compare to the production of a systematic assembly line?

The power of artillery in the hands of warlords in various places is generally much weaker than that of the Taiping Dao, and as for the quantity, it is much less.

And the Taiping Dao's tactics for using firearms and artillery are also superb, making other warlord armies unable to defend against them; in this way, in this great battle, the Taiping Dao had losses, but not large.

And after several great battles, it counterattacked and seized many commanderies and counties.

The Taiping Dao did not expand, but this time it got many benefits and also deterred the surrounding areas, laying a foundation for future expansion.

So this aristocratic family's plan can be said that not only did it not pose any threat to the Taiping Dao, but on their side, they suffered a lot of damage.

Several major warlords also have many complaints about their aristocratic alliance.

So the heads of several top aristocratic families had to gather again to discuss.

"What should we do next?"

"News came from Yuan Qing's side; this time he suffered a lot of losses."

"Humph! He suffered a lot of losses; he didn't exert any effort at all."

The head of the Yang family had an ugly face; this great battle was discussed by them together; the imperial court sent two million troops, let the Yuan Prince's Mansion send at least a million troops, and then the several major warlords in the south united to send two million troops.

This time, five million troops were sent out, not to say that the Taiping Dao would be taken down in one fell swoop, at least a part of the Taiping Dao's foundation could be taken down, so that the Taiping Dao could be weakened.

The Taiping Dao has developed very quickly these years, and their foundation is very rich; in itself, the Taiping Dao has never closed the channels to the outside world, so warlords and aristocratic families in various places can enter and see.

They are very clear about the situation in various places of the Taiping Dao.

Now the prosperity of Jizhou is not inferior to Luoyang; you must know that the Shen Du Luoyang has been developed for thousands of years.

As the Shen Du of the Liu Han Imperial Court, it was piled up with countless resources.

Jizhou was prosperous before, but placed in the entire Liu Han, it might not be ranked in the top ten, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Taiping Dao, and in less than a hundred years, the degree of prosperity is still not inferior to Luoyang.

Other places have also improved a lot.

The common people there have all changed.

Warlords in various places, who is not moved? That is wealth; seizing one commandery is probably enough to support a local warlord to increase the consumption of 100,000 troops.

This is also the reason why warlords in various places, under the persuasion of aristocratic families, agreed to attack the Taiping Dao.

In this world, everything can be fake, but interests can move people's hearts.

For the sake of interests, these warlords can unite.

However, obviously, some warlords have their own selfish motives.

And the Yuan Prince's Mansion is like this; although the other party sent a million troops, and even in terms of momentum, it was greater than the imperial court.

However, in fact, the other party was fishing in troubled waters; the army arrived at the border and stopped moving; even if they took action, they only sent fierce generals under their command to challenge Lv Bu.

If one is not enough, then several will besiege Lv Bu together.

They also grasped Lv Bu's personality; in this way, the great battle between the two armies became a battle of generals, and as a result, other warlords suffered heavy losses.

He didn't lose much on his side, at most a few Refining Spirit realm martial generals.

If two hundred years ago, Refining Spirit realm martial generals were very rare, a warlord who had just risen could occupy a province if he had one or two Refining Spirit realm martial generals.

Then by now, without the power of the Earth Immortal realm, they could not hold a province.
