Yun Zheng has arrived at a place twenty miles away from Baishan Mountain. His former army is fighting with Xiao Dahu's cavalry. Even though he is far away from the battlefield, he can still hear the roar of Han Niu during the battle. This guy
His voice has been loud since he was a child. When I beat him, the sound he made almost made me collapse. His tearful howl made the bear family dare not approach him.
Now that he is an adult, his voice has become louder. Lu Qingqing did not allow him to speak at home, so Hanniu is like a mute most of the time. But on the battlefield, he doesn't care. His voice is also a weapon.
one.
This reminded Yun Zheng of Zhang Fei who drank the Dangyang Bridge. Maybe those ancient legends are true. There really are strange people who can drink the Dangyang Bridge and there are real strong men who can lift an eight hundred kilogram hammer.
, and there will really be people who come thousands of miles away to steal someone’s head.
War is a very common thing. War has appeared since we discovered that there are advantages between people.
Our ancestors fought with sticks and stones, but now we fight with iron tools and gunpowder. There is not much difference between the two, at least the purpose is the same. Looking at the history books, people will find that we are either on the way to invade or on the way to invasion.
In the fight against aggression,
It is precisely because of war that the world has become rich and colorful. Bows and arrows were first used for hunting. Later we discovered that they can also be used to hunt people, and they are very efficient. The same goes for gunpowder. When people discovered that it
It can be used in war, and it will soon have the longest development.
Looking at the sky full of stones thrown by the trebuchets under the mountain, Yun Zheng sighed and prepared to end his random thoughts. He would leave his reflections on the war for later. Now, even the people of Liao Dynasty have begun to use trebuchets on a large scale.
The coach really shouldn't be distracted at this juncture.
I don’t know when this bad habit started. As soon as I visit the battlefield in person, my soul will separate. The emotional Yun Zheng who likes to walk in the light rain disappears, replaced by the one who even sees the most beautiful person.
General Yun did not change his expression despite the cruel scenes.
When the monkey saw Yun Zheng standing up, he decisively pointed the red flag in his hand forward and waved it three times in a row, indicating that the general's central army would move forward three miles.
Three miles away, Han Niu and Liang Ji were fighting hard. When Yun Zheng got there, he could even see Xiao Dahu if he had better eyesight. Ever since the Song Army brigade broke through Yehukou, Xiao Dahu's flag had been
The pestle is there.
The distance between the two armies is no more than three arrows away, which is beyond the maximum range of the Eight Ox Crossbow. This is the safe distance recognized by everyone.
Yun Zheng didn't think so. Before his cannon appeared, such a distance was indeed safe. Now, this distance is simply the most favorite distance among gunners.
The cannons are well protected in Yunzheng's army. The cannons are covered with gun jackets. Special craftsmen take care of these three cannons every day. Their cleanliness is higher than Yunzheng's dining table. Of course,
It was only under Yun Zheng's strict military orders that those people would take such careful care of the three cannons. Otherwise, according to the people of the Song Dynasty, there was no need to take such careful care of the three iron lumps.
On the battlefield, Yun Zheng will be separated from Chen Lin. According to military regulations, the two supreme commanders cannot appear in the same place on the battlefield at the same time. This is to prevent that once the commander is unlucky, the other commander can be in the shortest time.
Li regained control of the army and continued to fight.
In the past, Li Chang implemented this military law very thoroughly. As long as Yun Zheng went to the battlefield, he would definitely find the safest and most suitable place to escape and stay there until the end of the war.
Chen Lin was different. He wanted to stay with Yun Zheng to see how he commanded the army, but Yun Zheng sternly refused. This was not a good idea. No place on the battlefield was safe. In this era, dying on the battlefield
There is more than one emperor, let alone a general.
Xiao Dahu saw Yun Zheng's flag moving forward. Under his order, the harsh sound of gongs sounded on the battlefield. Hearing the drum, advance and retreat as soon as the gold is sounded. This is a general military order on the battlefield. It has been fooled.
When the cavalry who were in danger of being killed by Liang Ji heard the order to retreat, they immediately turned their horses and ran towards both sides of their own formation, braving the dense rain of arrows from the Song army.
Han Niu and Liang Ji crossed the central axis of the battlefield, encountered a sniper attack from Liao archers, and had to retreat slowly with their men.
Yun Zheng came to the front of the army just to confirm whether Xiao Dahu was here. It was not because he had any message to convey to the Liao Kingdom. If he did that, the two armies would immediately become two scolding armies. Although
The barbarians are not as brilliant as the scoldings of our heavenly kingdom, but Yun Zheng does not bother to take advantage of them.
The three cannons have been placed in the position, and the primers and explosive shells have been placed. Yun Zheng, protected by the tower shield held by his own soldiers, appeared at the front of the army. As soon as the flag was set up, there was a loud cheer from the Song army.
, this is the first time that the soldiers have seen their commander standing further forward than them on the battlefield. This is Yun Zheng's characteristic. Except for him and Di Qing, even a traitor would not do this. As for General Fu Bi,
He stayed at the rear of the battlefield to criticize Fang Qiu.
A young soldier who joined the army excitedly waved a smaller military flag with the word "Yun" and galloped towards the Liao people's position. The commander wanted to rebuke the enemy chief back then. Such a scene would only appear in the mouths of storytellers, but now I see it with my own eyes.
What he saw did not make him excited. As for whether he would be shot to death by the Liao people, the young man who joined the army did not consider it at all.
Sun Jie was next to Yun Zheng and whispered: "Commander, the Liao man is now a thousand steps away. With this small distance, there is a 40% chance of killing him."
Yun Zheng frowned and said, "Why is it only 40%?"
Sun Jie blushed and apologized repeatedly: "This is not my fault. We only have three cannons. If we had ten cannons, I would be 100% sure."
Yun Zheng thought about the unreliable accuracy of the smoothbore cannon, and had no choice but to nod. There was no way to make a cannonball with the primer and warhead integrated, let alone a spiral rifling in the cannon bore, let alone the gap between the cannonball and the cannon bore.
There is a gap, and the cannonball will be crooked as soon as it comes out of the barrel. Sun Jie said that he was 40% sure at the risk of beheading.
Jiazi Camp is now his own private army. Even the emperor admits this. Yun Zheng still doesn't like the title of that old slave Sun Jie. It's not that he doesn't like the feeling of being superior, but that this kind of name is simply too tacky.
In order to distinguish his brothers from the Song Dynasty, he had lost his temper several times over this title.
Young people no longer call me this way, but these old-fashioned people still call me this way. In their view, this kind of title is undoubtedly much closer than other titles.
"It doesn't matter if I can't kill Xiao Dahu. I just plan to try the cannon. I have wanted to test it for a long time, but I can't find a suitable target. Xiao Dahu is a suitable target. After all, a cannonball costs me five guan. Don't worry.
Go ahead and test it boldly, as long as you don't injure any of your own people by exploding it, I will consider you a meritorious service."
Yun Zheng said it very generously. People in high positions are usually like this, but imps are very difficult to deal with, such as monkeys. He took Sun Jie aside and whispered: "The commander killed Xiao Dahu to create something for you."
If you have the opportunity, you will not hesitate to take risks. Whose coach did you see coming from the army?
Not to mention, when the coaches of the two armies are talking in front of each other, it will be looked down upon if you throw a hidden arrow suddenly, so you can only succeed and not fail!"
When Sun Jie heard this, in the cold weather, his head was like a steamed bun that had just come out of the pot. He clenched his fists and said, "If I can't kill Xiao Dahu, I will die!"
Seeing that he had said something serious, the monkey said quickly: "It's not that serious. I just want you to use some snacks. This is your first time on the battlefield. Don't lose your spirit."
While the monkey was talking to Sun Jie, the young soldier came back with excitement on his face. He was not shot to death by the Liao people. It seemed that Xiao Dahu was still a decent person and not as dirty as Yun Zheng thought.
"Commander Qi, Xiao Dahu is so arrogant and rude that he actually refused to talk to the commander in front of the formation. He just said that since we have already met each other, it is useless to talk more. It is better to see the real seal in the battle formation!"
The status of the former soldier who joined the army was low-risk, and he could not see Yun Zheng on weekdays. Now he was very excited to see the long-rumored God of War among the Song people. He risked his life just now to contact the Liao people, but now he was stuttering.
The Liao people cut off the heads of the Song envoys in front of the army and tied the headless corpses to horses and sent them back. This kind of thing was done a lot in the early years. It is not unknown to join the army. At this time, it was just because of the sudden surge of blood.
He actually volunteered to do this and met Xiao Dahu.
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "You did a good job. You will be credited with killing Xiao Dahu later. Now you can tell Sun Jie where Xiao Dahu is. The rest is up to them."
The confused Junjun was led to the artillery by his own soldiers. Yun Zheng had no time to think about whether Junjun would despise him after knowing the truth. At this time, in order to retain Xiao Dahu, the Junjun needed to move forward appropriately.
At the same time, he would also cover up the artillery array. Yun Zheng didn't want to take advantage of this just once.
The drums sounded, and the heavy armored infantry of the Song Army emerged from the left side of the military formation. Holding sharp spears up to two feet long, they slowly advanced towards the Liao people. At the same time, the heavy armored cavalry on the right
They also advanced forward with small steps, forming a straight line with the heavy armored infantry.
Yun Zheng took out a ball of cotton from his sleeve and carefully stuffed it into the big green horse's ear. He also tore some cotton and stuffed it into his own ear. He turned around to make sure he was at a safe distance. He saw the artillery distance.
He was three hundred steps away, and then he looked up with peace of mind at the light cyan flag in the Liao army formation.
The dark pattern on Yunzheng's handsome flag is a black tiger. The emperor specially ordered the most skilled brocade craftsmen in Shu to make it. However, the handsome flag opposite has a ferocious dragon coiled on it. These are all
I learned it from the Song Dynasty. (To be continued)
