Liang Xiongfei always thought that he had no choice but to become a traitor because of his own reasons. When the Mongolian army marched southward, Lin'an fell, the emperor surrendered, and the country's subjugation was a foregone conclusion. The then Guangnan East Road Economic Envoy Xu Zhiliang sent himself to the Longxing Commandery in Mongolia.
Please surrender, he was appointed by the Mongols as the envoy to return to Guangzhou and recruit the states and counties in Guangdong to surrender. But at this time, Xu Zhiliang heard that King Yi was proclaimed emperor in Fuzhou, and he regretted it. Not only did he declare himself a traitor general of the Song Dynasty,
He also sent troops to fortify Shimen to prevent him from entering Guangzhou.
The Shangguan's backbiting made Liang Xiongfei feel helpless, but the end was done and he could only lead his troops to fight. As a result, Li Xingdao, the general judge of Guangzhou, fled without fighting. Huang Jun, the leader of the Destroying Army, was defeated and fled back to Guangzhou, but Xu Zhiliang abandoned the city and fled.
After Liang Xiongfei arrived at the city, he promised that all generals who surrendered would be given official posts, but Huang Jun refused, so everyone killed Huang Jun and opened the city to ask for surrender. In this way, Liang Xiongfei was convicted of being a traitor to the Song Dynasty, and he could not turn back.
Can't come.
Because people at that time were taught that the monarchy and the state were one, and everything the emperor said and did was correct. Therefore, the decline of the country and the darkness of the government were all caused by the temptation of treacherous ministers. The emperor was still a good emperor. The same was true for Liang Xiongfei, who was framed by his superiors.
He became a traitor who was despised by thousands of people, but he helped the enemy seize the emperor's throne, and he was still somewhat unhappy in his heart.
When the two armies were confronting each other, others saw such a large imperial ship, and of course he also saw it. This kind of guilt began to take effect. He had no burden to kill those "traitors", but when he directly confronted the emperor, he felt that he was really
He became the sinner of the Song Dynasty and had no way out. Therefore, he only ordered to strengthen the city defense instead of attacking when the Song army was halfway across the country. Of course, he also knew that his small force was not enough to defeat the Song army.
The following fierce attack by the Song Army made all the troops frightened and wanted to retreat. Liang Xiongfei also knew that the Red Horse Detective Army was completely destroyed, so he abandoned the city and fled without doing anything, unable to explain to his new master, which delayed the Song Army for a long time.
He surrounded the whole city and couldn't escape. Just at this moment, Zhao Ruogang was about to leave the city, which gave him an excuse. In his heart, Zhao Ruogang had no surname and had no integrity at all. He was an out-and-out traitor.
It was perfect for him to have Cheng Zong's enemy's excrement basin thrust into his body. He had done it once anyway.
So Liang Xiongfei opened the city gate in the name of giving Zhao Ruogang a gift, but the city gate could not be closed once it was opened. The defenders on the city thought that the master was about to escape, so they dispersed and followed him out of the city. Liang Xiongfei also naturally
He was dragged away by the rebels, and the fall of the city had nothing to do with him...
…………
"Your Highness, please come into the city!" Ying Jieyan walked into the cabin and said to His Highness who was crouching in front of the desk.
"Wait a minute, don't disturb me now!" Zhao Bing said, waving his chubby hands.
"Your Highness...sigh!" Ying Jieyan was really helpless. He started to make a fuss, and even took extraordinary measures to deal with himself to come and watch the battle. But when the battle just started, he used crossbows to bombard the city wall for a short time.
He got back into the cabin and didn't show his head again. He thought he was afraid and dumped all this mess to himself. But now the army has entered the city and the battlefield has been cleared. The army respectfully welcomes him into the city. He wants to rely on him again.
On the boat. This is really the nature of a child, which made him annoyed and annoyed, laughing and laughing, leaving only a look of helplessness on his face.
"Sir, don't walk around, it makes me unable to calm down!" Ying Jieyan was a little restless. Zhao Bing raised his head and said with a wry smile. It was obviously a critical moment and he didn't want to be disturbed.
And Zhao Bing's "far away" from the battlefield this time was not as Ying Jieyan thought - he was afraid. Although he was on the battlefield, he was still far away. Moreover, it was no better than in Quanzhou now, and there were soldiers around him.
Wan, even if the enemy troops in the city fight out, they will not be able to reach him for a while, and they will never be as embarrassed as last time. But there is another reason. What made him think of something.
After the ballistae started firing, Zhao Bing paid great attention to it. The craftsmanship bureau produced a total of more than 80 large and small ballistae this time. Considering that the move from Qiongzhou to Qiongzhou mainly relied on the navy, fifty of them were deployed
Gave it to them. The remaining thirty or so troops formed a ballista battalion and handed it over to the infantry. After the battle began, the ballistas assigned to the infantry fired at the same time to suppress the defenders at the city head. Judging from Zhao Bing's lethality, the destruction
The power and hit rate can achieve the expected results, but there is also a serious problem, that is, shooting.
The cycle of a ballista from winding up, loading, aiming and firing is one. Zhao Bing estimated that the fastest firing rate can reach about one minute, but it is not easy to do in actual combat. Now there are more than 30 ballistae suppressing Changsanli.
Intermittent firepower will inevitably occur on the front line, leaving the enemy with room for counterattack, making it difficult to achieve full-time suppression without gaps. Although everyone seems to be very satisfied with this, it is intolerable to Zhao Bing, a science student who strives for excellence.
Defects.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Bing came up with a solution: first, to increase the power of the 'cannonballs' to increase the killing area and destructive power; second, to increase the number of ballistae to make up for the lack of shooting; and thirdly, to implement
Transform, improve efficiency, and improve single units into companies.
Zhao Bing then optimized the three options. To improve the power of the artillery shell under the current conditions, it is necessary to increase the overall mass of the artillery shell, but the gun mount will also need to be modified, the volume will be increased, and the components will be reinforced, but then there will be
It becomes bulky and sacrifices precious mobility. The best way to simply increase the power of the artillery shell is to fill it with gunpowder and turn it into an explosive shell, but this cannot be achieved in a short time.
Increasing the quantity seems to be the best solution at present. After all, as long as there are sufficient materials and craftsmen, enough crossbows can be made in just a little time. However, in Zhao Bing's view, this method is not economical. First, it requires more training.
The second is to waste precious resources; the third is that the usable area of ​​the warship is limited, and to equip more ballistae, the space for loading materials must be sacrificed, and the crew's activities and resting places must be sacrificed.
.
Improving the firing efficiency of the ballista became the best choice. In Zhao Bing's memory, the craftsmen of ancient Greece did realize the ballista battery, but later gave up because of the ridiculous reason of "too much waste of ammunition." Therefore.
The continuous ballista was just a flash in the pan and then disappeared, leaving only a few legends, but no actual objects or graphics for reference. Later generations have restored it, but Zhao Bing only remembers that a linkage mechanism was added to realize the ballista.
The string is wound in a loop and the string is automatically dropped to achieve continuous operation.
With new ideas, Zhao Bing immediately lost interest in the fierce battle in front of him. He turned back to the cabin and spread out paper and ink to record the flash of inspiration. Then his nature of a scientific man was exposed, and he devoted himself to
During the design and improvement process, the shouts of death and the sound of war drums from outside had turned a deaf ear, and the outcome of the battle had nothing to do with my own inspiration. Until Ying Jiyan came to report that the battle was over, he could not struggle out...
After a dreamless night, Zhao Bing woke up at three o'clock in the morning. He turned over and still refused to get up. These days, he had worked very hard to plan a way out of Qiongzhou, and then he was training the new army and planning an attack on Guangzhou.
Planning and planning, his spirit has been tense until the battle to regain Guangzhou was fully launched, which almost exhausted his last energy. Yesterday, he spent a lot of time and energy on improving the ballista, and the motherboard finally could not support the calculation of the CPU.
He was so stunned that he didn't even know who was carrying him to bed.
"Wang De, Wang De, why is it so noisy outside?" Now that Guangzhou City has been successfully captured, thinking that he has successfully taken the first step to break away from the imperial court, Zhao Bing suddenly feels that the pressure has been reduced a lot, and he feels that he
It was not a sin to sleep a little longer. But his good mood did not last for a while before he was disturbed by bursts of noise.
"Your Highness is awake!" Wang De quickly walked into the cabin and said with a smile, "The noise outside is because the people in the city learned that His Highness was leading the troops to drive away the Tatars, and came here to welcome His Highness into the city."
"What?!" Zhao Bing got up in a hurry, rushed to the window with bare feet and looked out, only to find that the imperial ship had docked at the port last night, and there was a sea of ​​people on the pier, everyone looking at the imperial ship.
"Where's Mr. Ying?" Zhao Bing said in shock. This was not what he wanted. His original intention was to show it quietly, and he didn't want to attract the attention of the Mongols too early, so the flags were all from the court, and there was no
Show the flag of the Commander-in-Chief Army.
"Your Highness, the city has just been recovered and things are complicated. Your Majesty Ying couldn't wait any longer. He entered the city yesterday and is now leading the city's civil and military personnel to welcome the king on the pier. Is there anything wrong with this?" Wang De saw His Highness's pale face.
, I don’t know where I violated the taboo again, which made him unhappy, so he answered carefully.
"Oh, the time is not yet ripe, why should we create such a big show!" Zhao Bing's views on 'fame' and these 'ancients' have never been able to reach an agreement. He wants to make a fortune in silence, while they want to make a fortune.
To create momentum and improve his reputation, lay the foundation for future actions, and then consolidate his position. All of this sounds like good intentions, but he can only lament that he can't help himself when he enters the world.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Wang De was confused about the situation for a moment and asked with his head covered.
"Change clothes, line up the honor guard, and enter the city!" Now that things have become like this, he can't do anything he wants, Zhao Bing said through gritted teeth.
It didn't take long, the bells and drums on the imperial boat were in full swing, and a group of warriors disembarked first and formed a formation. After a while, with the accompaniment of silk and bamboo, His Royal Highness King Wei appeared on the bow of the boat, wearing a python suit and a crown facing the sky. The crowd was excited for a while.
, the civil and military people all saluted and shouted "Your Highness." Zhao Bing was smiling as he crossed the bridge and got out of the boat with the support of his chamberlain. He nodded to all the officials and people, but it was not obvious that he was still angry about this just now.
Chapter completed!
