"Brother, you and Lin Lang are both my relatives. I just don't want you to meet each other in battle in the future. Brother, if you attack Da Zhou, you must fight on the battlefield. Lin Lang told me at the beginning that he He said that once you gain power, you will attack Dazhou, saying that you are too ambitious and greedy. I didn't think so at first, but now, I understand that what my husband said is absolutely right. Brother, please stop. You...you are no match for Lin Lang, I don’t want you to fight to the death..."
The words Wanyan Mingyue said that night are still in my ears. When Wanyan Aguda heard such words, he just felt angry and sad. His sister said such words, which was also a kind of humiliation for herself, so she was furious at that time. He couldn't help but didn't touch it carefully. Now that he tastes this sentence, it contains at least two meanings. One is that Lin Jue has already talked about himself with his sister. He has seen through his ambition, so he wants to advise himself through Mingyue's mouth. The second thing is that Lin Jue is already well prepared to be his enemy and is very confident to defeat him. The girl even knows that Lin Jue has firearms in his hands, so she says that she is not Lin Jue's opponent. .
"Damn it, Mingyue, Mingyue, you know so many secrets of Lin Jue, but you don't tell me clearly. Is my brother no better than an outsider in your mind? And Lin Jue, you really think you have a firearm in your hand. Are you ignoring everything? This time, if you know what I'm doing, it's okay to cooperate with me. If you don't know what I'm doing and you really continue to go against me, don't blame me for being ruthless. Sister, don't blame me, no one can stand in my way. The obstacles to my great achievements include you and your husband." Wanyan Agu thought angrily.
But even if the determination has not changed, real troubles are just around the corner. If Lin Jue is unwilling to cooperate with him, then the problem he will always have to face is how to deal with the powerful firearms of the Luoyan Army. If he can't find a way to restrain himself, no matter how much he says, Harsh words are useless.
That night, Wanyan Agu summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures and informed them that this soldier was Lin Jue's Luoyan Army. Although the Jurchen generals were filled with righteous indignation, they not only scolded Lin Jue for being ungrateful, but also abandoned Princess Jinhua after getting married. The princess, on the other hand, turned against the big leader, but there was no good way to do it. She specifically mentioned the ferocity of the opponent's firearms today, and when asked about countermeasures, the generals responded in silence, with lingering fears. Obviously, the generals were also worried about today. The powerful lethality of this firearm is very frightening and frightening.
Wanyan Aguda ended the meeting upset. None of these people could come up with an idea for him at the critical moment. It seemed that he had to think of countermeasures by himself. After everyone left, one person quietly stayed. Come down, that's military advisor Li Guochou.
When Wanyan Agu saw that Li Guochou had not left, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with the military advisor?"
Li Guoqiu said: "I have something to tell the chief about dealing with the firearms."
Wanyan Agu said hurriedly: "Oh? What do you have in mind?"
Li Guoqiu said slowly: "To be honest with the chief, this firearm... I have always wanted to study. To put it bluntly, I have lived in seclusion in the mountains with my family for the past ten years and studied many weapons, armor, battle formations and tactics. This includes making firearms. The big leader knows that firearms will be the protagonist on the battlefield in the future. In the future, the two armies will rely on whose firearms are more powerful. Swords and spears will be useless in the end..."
Wanyan Agu frowned and said, "How do you know? Do you know what will happen in the future? Is it because you saw the other party's fierce firearms today that you said such things?"
Li Guoqiu shook his head and said: "That's not true. I...I can't predict the future, but just...predict the trend. I'm not talking nonsense, I actually made firearms."
Wanyan Agu was shocked and said: "What? You can also make firearms? Where are you? Let me take a look."
Li Guoqiu said in a deep voice: "I said, I have been studying this thing for the past few years, but... the progress has been very little. The firearms made are not very powerful, and it is really... cannot be used in actual combat. The firearms are in my account.
I have nothing to show you to the chief."
Wanyan Agu waved his hands excitedly and said, "No need to get it, I'll just go with you."
Li Guoqiu nodded and said, "Then the chief of labor will move on."
The two quickly arrived at Li Guoqiu's tent. Li Guoqiu took out a rough and crude thing with a long and thin iron pipe from the inner tent. It was as black as an old man's crutch and had enough power.
Something over four feet long is extremely heavy.
"Is this the firearm you made?"
Wanyan Agu asked with a frown.
Li Guoqiu sighed: "It is really difficult to make this thing. If you want a firearm to be powerful, you must have smelting skills to make refined iron with sufficient strength. In addition, you need pure gunpowder to increase its power. Next
After studying for several years, it is really difficult. This firearm was forged from refined iron after surrendering to the big boss. Because it was not powerful enough, I did not inform the big boss to avoid being considered a child's play.
.But today, I learned that someone has been able to make firearms in batches. I feel that I have fallen behind others and there is no need to study further."
Wanyan Agu nodded, took the firearm, looked it up and down, and said in a deep voice: "How to launch this thing?"
Li Guoqiu said: "It's very simple. Just pour gunpowder mixed with iron bullets into the muzzle of the gun, tamp the cork tightly and then ignite it."
Wanyan Agudaodao: "Can I give it a try?"
Li Guo
Qiu smacked his lips and said, "It's best not to try it. It's too dangerous. The cast iron is not strong enough and I'm worried it will burst. In addition, the gunpowder is not pure enough, not strong enough, and not powerful enough. I have tried it, and it can reach three times."
Ten paces away, thirty paces away, the force cannot penetrate Lu Guan."
Wanyan Aguda was quite disappointed. If the range was only thirty steps, it would be too short. It had no power beyond thirty steps, and it was not much more powerful within thirty steps. Isn't this thing just a piece of trash?
However, he still wanted to see it with his own eyes. After all, the power of firearms impressed him deeply, and now he wanted to own such a powerful killing weapon.
Li Guoqiu couldn't defeat Wanyan Aguda, so he had to take out gunpowder, mixed some ammunition and pounded it into the barrel of the gun. The fuse protruded from the small hole on the side of the back of the gun, ignited it with a fire break, and moved twenty steps outside the tent.
A piece of armor hanging outside was fired. There was a loud bang, the sound was not small, the smoke was also very loud, and a ball of fire erupted from the mouth of the barrel. The sound and appearance were very intimidating. But after firing, I went to check
The armor, the armor was intact, leaving only dense traces of iron bullets hitting it, but no damage. This shows that the power of this kind of firearm is really limited. The main reason is that the gunpowder is not pure enough.
"It's really useless. But why is Lin Jue's firearm so vicious?" Wanyan Agu frowned.
Li Guoqiu smacked his lips and said: "I just said that this has something to do with whether the iron is strong and whether the gunpowder is pure. Your brother-in-law... must have mastered the production method. This... I want to ask, your Brother-in-law... what kind of person is he? I mean, is he any different from ordinary people? Does he often say things that others can't understand and do strange things? "
Wanyan Agu said strangely: "Why do you ask this? Now we are talking about this firearm. Do you just want to tell me that you can only make this kind of useless firearm? Besides, how do I know? What kind of person is he? I have only known him for half a month."
Li Guoqiu hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm just asking casually. I saw that the chief was worried about the fierceness of the opponent's firearms, so I came to tell the chief some facts so that the chief would not worry. The chief is just worried. The opponent has a huge number of firearms, so if we fight against them, we won’t be able to compete with them, right? In fact, there is no need to worry about this.”
Wanyan Agudao: "How can we see it?"
Li Guoqiu said: "I have tried my best to make this kind of useless firearm, and I spent a lot of time, energy and property. The other party's firearms are obviously made with better skills than mine, but the making of firearms is by no means To put it simply, they don't have too many firearms on hand. No matter in terms of financial resources or production methods, it is impossible for him to equip all the Luoyan Army with firearms. That would probably require the wealth of the enemy country and a huge amount of wealth to do it. And The production of each firearm takes a long time. From my own experience, they may only have firearms for a thousand cavalry. Thinking about it from another perspective, if the entire Luoyan Army has such firearms, One can defeat ten, so why do they need to send only a thousand cavalry to attack? The whole army marches forward to fight us head-on, but we can't fight against it. Chief, do you think so or not?"
Wanyan Aguda twirled his curved yellow beard and thought for a moment: "That's the truth. I actually think so too. However, even if the opponent only has a small number of firearms, it will be difficult for us to defeat him in a head-on battle."
Li Guoqiu said with a smile: "Big boss, please don't forget that we still have Iron Buddhas. The opponent's firearms can penetrate ordinary armor, but they will never penetrate the Iron Buddhas' heavy armor. In a head-on battle, I, with four thousand Iron Buddhas, can trample them into flesh." mud."
Wanyan Agu slapped his thigh and said: "Yeah, why did I forget that we have Iron Buddha Heavy Cavalry? Iron Buddha's heavy armor is several minutes thick, and that kind of firearm should not be able to penetrate. But...it's hard to say, this You can’t be sure of anything.”
Li Guoqiu shook his head and said: "I dare to guarantee with my life that the Iron Buddha Heavy Armor can definitely withstand the iron bullets fired by the opponent's firearms. You must know that the inside of the body armor on the earth is not just a steel plate, but it can withstand bullets. This kind of shotgun can definitely withstand bullets." Impenetrable to fine iron armor."
"What on earth? What body armor? What steel plate? What kind of bullets can be resisted? What are you talking about?" Wanyan Aguda looked at Li Guoqiu in confusion.
Li Guoqiu knew he had made a mistake and said hurriedly: "Nothing, nothing. What I mean is that the Tiefutu heavy armor can definitely withstand the ammunition of the opponent's firearms. A frontal battle is absolutely worthwhile. As long as the Tiefutu cavalry breaks up their formation, that kind of firearms will be able to withstand the melee." It cannot be used in the middle, otherwise it will hurt his troops. Therefore, the big leader does not have to worry about Lin Jue's Luoyan Army. If the big leader does not want to fight with them because of the relationship between brother and sister, it is another matter. If If you choose to fight with them, you don't have to be shot by the opponent's firearms at all."
Wanyan Agu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I feel relieved with the words of the military counselor. The military counselor is still capable. The military counselor's analysis at the critical moment made me feel relieved. Military counselor, you are really a help from heaven."
My people."
Li Guoqiu bowed and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I hope the chief will not forget the agreement you and I made before. When I help the chief, I am actually helping myself. You and I are in a cooperative relationship, and we will both prosper and suffer.
"
Wanyan Agu's big eyes gleamed, and he laughed loudly: "Very good, very good. If you say so, I don't need to thank you. Don't worry, I will help you successfully regain your country. But here
Before, you must help me with all your strength, without any selfish thoughts. For example, no matter whether your firearm is useful or not, you must report it to me. If you don't tell me frankly, how can I know what you will do after you have the firearm?
move?"
Li Guoqiu changed his expression and said: "Big Chief, please don't misunderstand. It's just that this thing is not useful, so I didn't tell the Big Chief. There is absolutely no intention to conceal it, nor any other intention. Big Chief, please don't be overly concerned."
Wanyan Agu burst out laughing, patted Li Guoqiu on the shoulder and said, "I just said that. It doesn't mean that you have other thoughts. You don't need to be nervous."
Li Guoqiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Chief, for your trust. I don't know whether to ask a question or not."
Wanyan Agudao: "Just ask."
Li Guoqiu said: "But I don't know what the leader's plans are for this Lin Jue and his Luoyan Army?"
Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice: "It's very simple. If they are used by me, then that's it. If they continue to oppose me, they will be destroyed. Even though Lin Jue is my sister's man, I will not tolerate it. I shouldn't have done it in the first place.
Let him go, kill him with one knife and it will be over. If he persists in his stubbornness this time, he will not have the kindness of a woman."
Li Guoqiu groaned and said softly: "Then before killing him, can you hand him over to me? I want to ask him something."
Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "Do you want to ask him how to make firearms?"
Li Guochou said softly: "I'm afraid it's more than that. I have many things to ask him."
…
The cool morning breeze blew on his face, and Wanyan Aguda, who was standing in front of the tent, became more energetic and his expression became more serious.
After talking with Li Guochou yesterday, his mood actually improved a lot. Intelligence has found out that the Luoyan Army is stationed in Yongqiu County dozens of miles away. He must go and settle things with Lin Jue. He has decided
He led the army to set off early this morning. But when he was sleeping in bed last night, he suddenly thought of an extremely important question. That was whether Lu Zhongtian in the city would go back on his word and bite him at this time.
Logically speaking, Lu Zhongtian should not join forces with the Luoyan Army, but Lu Zhongtian has just exposed his conspiracy to steal the country and seize power. Wanyan Aguda no longer has any trust in him, and he will only be more thoughtful towards Lu Zhongtian. With the Zhou people
In fact, the most important thing to guard against in battle is their machinations. These people go back on their word and are selfish, do whatever it takes to get what they want, and have no regard for benevolence, justice and morality. Wanyan Aguda has already learned this from Lu Zhongtian. Lu Zhongtian
He looks like a docile dog now, but there is no guarantee that he will not show his fangs when he and the Luoyan Army are locked in a fight. He should not make a hasty decision, but should be just in case.
Just when Wanyan Agu was about to ask his bodyguards to summon the generals to the camp for further discussions, he saw the deputy general Chaerhan, who had replaced Hulu in the front camp, coming in a hurry on horseback.
"Big chief, a messenger has come to Bianliang City, saying that he has been ordered to discuss important matters with the big chief." Chaerhan shouted loudly.
Wanyan Agu was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Where are the people?"
"Right at the back, he claims to be Chen Bin, the military envoy in front of the palace, who came under Lu Zhongtian's order." Chaerhan reported back.
An hour later, Wanyan Aguda personally sent Chen Bin, who came on behalf of Lu Zhongtian to discuss an alliance with the Jurchens to annihilate the Luoyan Army in Funiu Mountain, out of the tent. Watching Chen Bin ride away on horseback, Wanyan Aguda couldn't help laughing.
Voice.
Really sleepy and giving pillows, Chen Bin came to express his attitude on behalf of Lu Zhongtian, requesting to join forces with the Jurchen army to destroy the Luoyan Army. Lu Zhongtian is willing to send 50,000 troops to assist the Jurchen army in its operations. When the Jurchen army advances head-on, these 50,000 forbidden troops will come from the south
Cut off their retreat and ensure they don't let them slip away.
In order to show his sincerity, Lu Zhongtian ordered people to send 5,000 sets of armor, 100,000 stones of military rations, 300,000 feather arrows, 3,000 tents and other materials today to provide the Jurchen army with the consumption to attack the Luoyan Army. He also agreed to organize the organization
Five thousand young and strong people came to serve as the driving force of the Jurchen army.
This is undoubtedly a timely help for Wanyan Agu. His army consumes a lot of money. Before attacking the city, it could be replenished by looting, but now it is completely dependent on transportation from the rear. At this time, Lu Zhongtian sent manpower and
Materials greatly relieved the pressure. Lu Zhongtian's willingness to send materials and manpower under such circumstances showed his sincerity. Of course, in return, Wanyan Aguda said to Chen Bin that even if Guo Xu was robbed, both parties had previously
The agreement is still valid. After the Luoyan Army is eliminated, he will never launch an attack on Bianliang, but will act in accordance with the agreement.
"Big Chief, we were worried about them stabbing us in the back, but we didn't expect them to be more afraid than us. Haha, now it's better. If they join forces with us, we will have no worries." The generals beside us all smiled happily.
,Feel comfortable.
Wanyan Agu said with a big smile: "They gave us materials, food, grass and manpower, but I don't thank them. They did this just to use our power to solve their problems. Now this Luoyan Army belongs to Lu Zhongtian
The inner worries are the biggest force that hinders him from becoming emperor. That's why they are so willing. This incident actually made me understand a truth, that is, Lu Zhongtian and the others are actually afraid of us to death. If I were him, I would definitely do it at this time.
He would wait for an opportunity to attack us from behind. Not only did he not dare to do this, he was also worried that we would blame them for Guo Xu's robbery. This shows that Lu Zhongtian is just a weakling and they are not afraid of them at all. On the contrary, the Luoyan Army
They have the guts to challenge us, and they have quite a bit of backbone. After we destroy them, the entire Zhou Dynasty will be full of soft bones. Then we can do whatever we want."
"What the chief said is true. These Zhou people are all trash and nothing to worry about." All the generals burst into laughter.
