Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 197
In an inconspicuous alley in Tokyo, a sound of walking horses broke the tranquility here.

The sun has set, and for some, today is the past.Go to bed early and rest, so that you can start a new day tomorrow.But for the upper class figures in Tokyo, this time is still a good time for them to dream and die!It will take several more hours for them to end this beautiful and splendid day called "today".

But this alley is a very ordinary alley, at least there are no wealthy people.So when the sound of horseshoes broke the calm here, many people put on their clothes and took a look outside.It turned out to be an official of the Ling family, so it's not surprising.

Although this Ling family is not very rich and powerful, but he is an official at least, he is one of the many deputy envoys of Jiazhanku, and receives the imperial salary.

Ling Zhen was summoned to the palace commander's mansion at night, and the next day he received his military commander's diploma, and was instructed to pack the pommel horse and get up.It was Hu Yanzhuo who came to Gao Qiu's office to be an important person.

It is said that the Liangshan bandits arranged in chariot formations, fearing the power of the iron cavalry, so they would not fight with him in the field.But his department wants to clean up the stronghold, sweep away the puddles, capture all the thieves, and demolish the lair.But you have to break through the camp of thieves and bandits first.

Hu Yanzhuo said that he cherished the lives of soldiers and did not want to fill the gap with human lives, so he wanted to hire an artilleryman to hit the thieves with flying stones to smash the thieves' nest.At that time, even if there are those who can fight in the bandit army, they will be unable to use it.

"I've heard for a long time that there is a gunner in Tokyo called Ling Zhen, named Hong Tianlei. He is good at making cannons. He can go more than ten miles away. Where the stone cannons fall, the sky will fall, the earth will collapse, and the mountains will collapse. Recently, he took the thief's nest. He also has a deep knowledge of martial arts, and he is familiar with bowing and horses. He is a rare talent."

Gao Qiu read Hu Yanzhuo's letter and saw that he asked for gunner Ling Zhen, he had heard of this man.Ancestor Guan Yanling was a master of the first artillery in the dynasty, and everyone called him Thunderbolt.Nothing is impossible.Immediately, a Jun decree was passed down, calling Ling Zhen to come, and telling him all the geographical and enemy information collected in his hands, telling him to work hard, and he will be rewarded if he makes contributions.

At the same time, a letter was sent to Hu Yanzhuo, asking him to win as soon as possible, so that he could block the mouths of other people in the court.

This sophomore in high school has done their best to Hu Yanzhuo.

As for Hu Yanzhuo, as he said in his book, he really believed that it was necessary to bring Ling Zhen here.

For Lu Qian's shield car, he thinks that artillery and stone cannons are very necessary.

Whether it is precious cavalry or armored soldiers to accumulate, there is no such thing as artillery and stone cannons, which come freely and thoroughly.

Although artillery is difficult to transfer, stone cannons are simple.While Hu Yanzhuo sent a letter to Tokyo, he asked the soldiers to cut down trees and make stone cannons.

Let's talk about Ling Zhen loaded the necessary pyrotechnic materials and the utensils available in the warehouse onto the ship, took his personal clothes, armor, helmets, knives, luggage, etc., and thirty or forty well-used and capable soldiers, left In Tokyo, the waterway is cast into Liangshan Park.

That action was so fast, when the Shanzhai got the news and dispatched the navy to intercept him, he had already disembarked in Juye County and turned to go overland to Qinghe.Arriving at Dexing camp, first came to see the chief general Hu Yanzhuo, and then saw the vanguard Han Tao, and asked about the distance of the water village and the dangerous place of the mountain village.

The first is the wind cannon, the second is the golden wheel cannon, and the third is the mother and child cannon.But they are all stone cannons commonly used in the Song army.Shiling Junjian set up the artillery mount, covered it with armored cavalry, and went straight to the Liangshan barracks to erect stone cannons, preparing stone and mud bombs, so that they could be fired in the future.

In fact, this so-called "wind cannon" should be called a whirlwind cannon. The cannon has no fixed frame. It is fixed on a huge "sky pillar". The orientation and launch can be said to be miniaturized.This cannon is easy, the only thing it lacks is the frame, which is not stable when fired, which is why the cannonballs used in it must not be overweight, and the weight limit is three catties.In order to enhance the power of this kind of stone cannon, the three catties of stone bullets were manipulated by Song Jun in different ways.The most common way is to cover the basket with grass and vines, and put gunpowder, crotons and other arson and poisonous objects inside, and project them out, so there is the term "wind artillery".

The golden wheel gun is the tiger squatting gun, which is the tiger squatting gun of the Song Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty.There is a gun mount, which can be formed into a square or triangular oblique frame with four legs, supplemented by a wheel axle, which is more flexible in application, so it is called the golden wheel gun.The operation of its cannon requires more than [-] soldiers, and it can throw ten catties of heavy stone bullets.

As for the last sub-mother gun, its name does not refer to a single gun type, but generally refers to a certain type of gun.Multiple finger guns.

In the "Wu Jing Zongyao" of the old Zhao family, there are only shoots recorded: single shoots, double shoots, five shoots, seven shoots, nine shoots, thirteen shoots and so on.

The tip here refers to the cannon rod, the five-tip cannon is composed of five wooden poles, and the seven-tip cannon is seven.The cannon rod composed of composite has better elasticity, and it is easy to throw the cannon stone farther.

And because this kind of cannon emits broken bullets, the broken bricks and stones are thrown out in a net, and they scatter in the air, just like a celestial maiden scattered flowers, with a huge killing area.It is also because one becomes many, so it is called "child-mother cannon".

The five-tip cannon rod is two feet long and five, with more than 80 pulling cables, and more than 150 operators.Therefore, after understanding these things, Lu Qian was full of puzzlement about the records of the Jin soldiers setting up more than [-] cannons a day outside Tokyo during Jingkang's shame.Although the Song army first threw hundreds of stone cannons outside Fengqiu Gate to the Jin soldiers.

Of course, some people said that the [-] cannons were a combination of large, medium and small, but Lu Qian was just too weird. Was there any use for Jin Bing to build some small cannons under the city of Tokyo?At that time, would the Song army dare to easily break out of the city and destroy the stone cannons?
This topic was passed by without mentioning, and the changes in the Song army alarmed the Qian and others in the camp.

That Ling Zhen came very quickly, and the naval battalion was dispatched to intercept him, but some information also fell into Lu Qian's ears.When Hu Yanzhuo suddenly ordered someone to set up stone cannons outside the camp, then why did he not know who had arrived.

The world's number one gunner, Hong Tianlei Lingzhen entered the arena.

Now there are only two choices before Lu Qian, one is to withdraw from the shore camp and return to the mountain; the other is to send troops to fight Hu Yanzhuo.The leaders of the camp were unwilling to retreat and return to the mountain. They won the previous battle because of their arrogance.As for the news sent by Chao Gai [Going back], when the news reached Yuncheng, Song Jiang felt a little overwhelmed.

With such a good situation, withdrawing troops and returning to the mountain, wouldn't it be a vain call for the officers and soldiers to be proud of their strength?Wouldn't it please those unrighteous people?

But can field battles beat the armored cavalry of the Song Army?

In the previous battle, the Liangshan army killed and captured more than [-] Song cavalrymen and captured more than [-] horses. The remaining dead and wounded horses were made into meat and vegetables and eaten.Naturally, Lu Qian also captured a lot of horse armor and vests, but unfortunately, the horses on Liangshan were weaker than the more than two hundred war horses obtained from the battle formation. Putting on a full set of house clothes, the speed and endurance were not enough. battlefield.

It was also difficult to find so many healthy soldiers in the cavalry battalion for a while, who could immediately adapt to the armored cavalry.

That is to say, the strength in Lu Qian's hands did not improve by leaps and bounds following the victory of the previous battle.Perhaps the only gain is that the morale of Liangshanbo's men and horses is even higher, and they are fearless.

"Not to mention that the brothers don't want to retreat, and I don't want to make those unrighteous children proud." Lu Qian set the tone with one word.The leopard head next to him seemed to have something to say, but the atmosphere in the account was so high that he stopped himself.

"The chain of horses of the official army is indeed majestic, but in the previous battle, we also saw its shortcomings. The soldiers can only move forward and cannot look left or right. You only need to be careful of frontal collisions. Moreover, the morale of the soldiers is lacking, and the soldiers Without the will to fight to the death, there will be no thought of victory. It will be difficult to keep sharp, and the setback will be released. As long as it withstands that wave and its momentum declines, it will not be difficult to kill again. Therefore, I want to find the courage to There were 300 strong warriors in the battle, led by a fierce and brave man. They were armed with machetes and did not care about swords and guns. They did not care about life and death and only chopped off the horse's legs."

This may be Yue Fei's method in the official history.It's just that Lu Qian's men don't have such elite cavalry as Bei Wei and You Yi, and Hu Yanzhuo's men in front of him don't have such elite cavalry as Kidnap Ma.In his eyes, those warriors sent by Yue Fei who hold hemp knives and only cut off the legs of horses are real warriors.The suicide tactics of the Yue family army are also awe-inspiring to future generations.

Regardless of whether the golden soldier heavy cavalry in history is the same as the current serial horse, since the horse is said, no matter how godly a horse is, it will over after a leg is cut off.This tactic sounds light, but in fact it requires a lot of dedication. It is not that the army that is not afraid of death cannot do this.

It should be clear that no matter how slow the armored cavalry is running, it still has inertia.Even if the infantry managed to cut down the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin with their knives and axes, the soldiers would most likely be crushed by the horses.And if this soldier is not successful, then he must end up dead and cannot die again.There are still living people on the backs of the horses, not clay and wooden tires.People have all kinds of guns and bows, and these soldiers are completely close to death.Even if Hu Yanzhuo's cavalry quality is really not good.

Now that Lu Qian wanted to defeat Hu Yanzhuo's iron cavalry, under the premise that it was difficult to carry a large number of shield chariots, he also had to have a group of such brave men who carried heavy shields and long knives, and poured blood on the battle formation.

Lu Qian glanced at Li Kui inadvertently. It was this rough man who was choking after hearing such tactics.Others can imagine.Because of this method of warfare, it is risking one's life.

"Brother Rong, this time Wu Song asked for orders, and I would like to lead my sons and daughters to stop the army of birds and horses." The unscrupulous Hei Xuanfeng swallowed and spit, and his knowledge was very good, but there was still that daring person in the tent.Wu Song said loudly without waiting for the scene to cool down.After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists at the other leaders: "Wu Er just went up the mountain and sat in the top chair in the Juyi Hall without making any achievements. Although I am very honored, I feel ashamed. Brothers, please forgive me." This encounter, so that I can make a contribution, worthy of my body and mind."

Li Kui stretched out his palm the size of a cattail fan, wiped his nose, and shouted, "Brother Erlang is embarrassing to Tieniu. This simple job should be taught to a rough man like Tieniu to do it. Why did you come here?"

Luan Tingyu's face turned red slightly, and he followed up and said: "Brother Li Kui doesn't need to fight, this is what I should do." This started a big fight.Old people like Han Bolong and Xue Yong don't mention it, and new heroes like Ma Lin, Ou Peng, and Deng Fei don't mention it, even Lu Zhishen is scrambling to go.

Lu Qian glanced over the faces of all the people in the tent, and laughed loudly: "I, Liang Shanbo, are really loyal. It's just that you don't have to fight for such things. This battle of daring to die is proposed for me, and it is also I will take the responsibility, you don’t have to fight any longer.” Lao Tzu’s fault is Lao Tzu’s responsibility.

But one word set off a monstrous wave.Don't say it's Lu Zhishen, but Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and Suo Chao all jumped up anxiously, urging him to come: "Brother is the owner of the cottage, why not move lightly, younger brother is willing to go."

Asked Lu Qianlian to stop the crowd with a wave of his hand, and said: "Don't worry, just listen to me. There is also a good magic weapon on my mountain stronghold. Didn't the brothers forget it?"

He still has a lot of gunpowder in his hand.Although the explosion effect was not as good as he wanted, it could still make the heart beat faster when it was ignited.He didn't believe that military horses these days were specially trained in this area.

The more Lu Qian thought about it, the more he felt that he could give it a try.

Liang Shanjun had already defeated the official army led by Hu Yanzhuo in a face-to-face confrontation.Now if you make some out-of-the-box tricks, it is not cunning and insidious, but resourceful.

"In this battle, my soldiers and horses are all equipped with heavy armor, or if Hu Yanzhuo has suffered a previous defeat and goes to war again, he may not dare to use the cavalry as the serial horses again." The bigger possibility is that some of them are serial soldiers. Horses, part of which are used as skirmishers and cavalry.But it doesn't matter, besides the immediate method, Lu Qian can't think of a more direct and effective method to deal with the cavalry in uniform.

As long as they withstood the opponent's cavalry, the officers and soldiers of Hu Yanzhuo's army would have nothing to fear.This is the military agreement.
