Chapter 972 A Song of Ice and Fire ([-])

At the beginning of March, when Yingfei grass was growing, on the southwest front, the battle scars had not faded.

After noon, the sky turned slightly cloudy.A day has passed since the war at Wangyuan Bridge, and both sides were in a delicate atmosphere that had never been seen before. The battle report of Wangyuan Bridge was like a basin of cold water poured on Jurchen's head, and the Huaxia Army was waiting to see whether this basin of cold water would come. will have the expected effect.

Too strong a stimulus can cause unpredictable reactions.To deal with deserters, what is needed is the decisiveness of remaining brave to chase the poor; in the face of trapped beasts, hunters have to take a step back and put on a stronger frame.

There is still fighting in the vast mountains, and the front line of Shiling is quiet.The artillery shells blew the ground black, and the bloody smell was still lingering. On the confrontation line, a team of men from each side came out. Two simple chairs, a wooden table, and a small pergola were placed in the open space. Both sides were careful. Checked various things and the condition of the ground nearby.

After Wanyan Zonghan's reply came, it was destined that this day would go down in the annals of future generations like Wangyuan Bridge.Although there are quite a few persuaders on both sides, reminding Ning Yi or Zong Han to beware of the other party's insidious tricks, and they think that such a meeting is really unnecessary, but in fact, after Zong Han replied, the whole thing has been finalized. There's no turning back.

"I pretended to force him to meet, and he agreed, but I said that I didn't dare to go. It's not very good. I also want face, and I can't afford to lose this person."

In the Huaxia Army, Ning Yi rejected all advice with such a smile.A similar situation happened in the Jurchen military camp.

The meeting time was at [-]:[-] p.m. ([-]:[-] p.m.) on this day. After the two guards checked the surrounding conditions, the two sides agreed to bring one person to the meeting.Ning Yi brought Lin Qiu, a senior staff officer with the army - Hongti wanted to follow him for a while, but the negotiation was not just a few harsh words, a few high-level negotiations were often related to the handling of many details, and ultimately Accompanied by Lin Qiu.

Since the Huaxia Army had a slight upper hand at this time, and worried about the urge to kill the opponent, both the secretary and the defense put the responsibility on Lin Qiu, which made Lin Qiu, who has always been able to do things, quite nervous. , and even promised several times that if in a critical juncture, he would use his own life to protect Mr. Ning's safety.But when it was time to set off, Ning Yi simply said to him: "There will be no danger, calm down and consider the next negotiation."

At this time, Ning Yi's face has become serious, and he seems to have a sense of alienation from everyone, but he is very dignified.He wore a black military coat and was escorted by Hongti and others out of the camp gate.On the confrontational battlefield, only two teams of guards remained near the center. Zong Han and Gao Qingyi, who were dressed as generals, also came out of the camp there.

Between the camps of the Huaxia Army, tall wooden shelves are being erected.Ning Yi and Lin Qiu walked past the position of the guards, and then continued to move forward, as did Zong Han.When the four of them met under the central pergola, tens of thousands of troops from both sides were watching from their positions.

Ning Yi looked at Zong Han and Gao Qingyi, and the other was looking at them too.Wanyan Zonghan's beard and hair are half white. When he was young, he had a solemn Chinese character face with murderous aura between his brows. When he was old, the murderous aura turned into a majesty. With a sullen face and extremely high cheekbones, he has both civil and military skills.

Compared with Zong Han and Gao Qingyi, who had been in the army for a lifetime and looked like tigers and wolves, Ning Yi and Lin Qiu looked much younger.Lin Qiu is a young officer in the Huaxia Army. He belongs to the young warrior faction that Ning Yi personally cultivated. Although he is a staff officer, the soldier's style is immersed in his bones. Pillar, Lin Qiu's eyes are full of vigilance, but more of it is the determination that he will not hesitate to pounce on the opponent if he needs it.

Ning Yi didn't have a smile on his face, but he didn't appear nervous, just maintaining a natural seriousness.When he got close, when his eyes swept across the faces of the two people on the opposite side, he spoke directly.

"Nianhan, Gao Qingyi, I finally see you." He walked to the table and glanced at Zong Han, "Sit down."

Zong Han walked to the table with his hands behind his back, pulled out the chair, Ning Yi took out a two-finger bamboo tube from the pocket of his coat, and pressed two fingers on the table.Zong Han came over and sat down, then Ning Yi pulled out the chair and sat down.

"It's been more than four months since the battle, so it's time to meet." Zong Han put his hands on the table, with a feeling of vicissitudes in his eyes, "More than ten years ago, if I had known you, I would not have surrounded Taiyuan. It's time to go to Bianliang."

Zong Han's words were a little hoarse, but at this moment, they seemed Chen Chen.The national war between the two sides has reached such a level that it has involved the life and death of millions of people, and the general trend of the world. Verbal contests are actually not very meaningful.That's why he acknowledged the value of Ning Yi and the Huaxia Army in his first sentence: If you can go back more than ten years ago, killing you should be the first priority.

Ning Yi looked at Zong Han, turned to Gao Qingyi, then returned to Zong Han and nodded.Gao Qingyi over there smiled grimly: "Before I came here, I suggested that if I take this opportunity to kill you, then the matter in the southwest can be solved. In the history books of later generations, they will say that Ning Rentu is stupid and ridiculous. In this situation, you have to go to the meeting alone - it would be a shame to die."

Ning Yi didn't look at Gao Qingyi, sat there silent for a moment, still looking at Zong Han: "...with a single breath, you have been going smoothly for 30 years. Thinking of today, you will regret it, but it’s not today. What you should worry about is a coup d’état in the Huaxia Army. Rockets flew over from there and fell on the heads of the four of us.. But I took precautions against it... to be serious Bar."

"I want to introduce something to you. It's called a water gun, and it's a small bamboo." Ning Yi picked up the bamboo tube with the small roots that had been placed on the table. Behind the bamboo tube was a wooden piston that could be pulled. Zong Han and Gao Qingyi's His eyes were full of doubts. "There is one thing that village children often play with. Put it in the water, pull the wood, suck the water in, and then push it and slap you in the face. This is the basic principle."

Ning Yi put the bamboo tube on the table, pushed it forward, and looked at the two of them.There was no expression on his face other than seriousness.

"Through the study of physics, the bamboo was replaced with something more solid, the driving force was changed to gunpowder, and the projectiles were shot, and it became the flash gun that the Wu Dynasty had. The flash gun is flashy. The projectiles that are shot will fly around, meaningless compared to bows and arrows, and they will even injure themselves because of the blast.”

"So we replaced the barrel with thick cast iron, or even refined steel, strengthened the power of gunpowder, added more gunpowder, used it to shoot projectiles, and became the iron gun you see. The evolution of grid physics is very simple, First, the power of the gunpowder explosion, that is, how much thrust the wood behind the small bamboo tube can provide, determines how strong such a thing is. Farther, faster, and more capable of breaking your armor and even shields."

He paused slightly, Zong Han was looking at the bamboo tube opposite him, and then he said, "Ning Rentu... can you teach me?"

The two sides seemed to be having a very casual conversation, and Ning Yi continued: "In the study of physical science, a lot of times, we are studying these two things. Gunpowder is a spear, and the material that can withstand the explosion of gunpowder is a shield. The strongest spear and the strongest When the range of the musket exceeds the range of the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow will withdraw from the battlefield. Your large institute researches the iron cannon, and you will find that you can put in unlimited gunpowder, the iron cannon will explode, and the quality of the steel determines you How big a gun can be built, can it have an advantage on the battlefield."

"In the process of tempering steel, we found many rules, such as some steels are more brittle, and some steels look dense after forging, but in fact there are very small bubbles in the middle, which are easy to explode. When forging steel reaches a limit, you Hundreds of thousands of methods are needed to break through it, breaking through it may increase the distance of the burst gun by five or ten feet, and then you will encounter another limit."

When Ning Yi said this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, nervously, as if he was smiling, but he looked hideous: "However, unlike bows and arrows, they have not increased their range much since their invention. Although there will be one limit after another, they can all be broken through, but there is a lot of work and very fine work. The crossing of each limit will even take several years or more than ten years. Every step, it will be solid. A little bit."

He paused.

"...From Xiao Canghe to today, what you have seen is that we are one step ahead of you in these ingenious and lewd skills, and you can rely on people to cross it. It's been two steps, neither of you, nor even Xi Yin, are aware of this. And when you reach the Wangyuan Bridge, it's the third step."

"You should have discovered this, and then you thought, maybe after you go back, you can create something like us, or find a way to deal with it, you can still do it. But I can tell you, every step you see There is at least ten years in the middle of the distance, even if Xi Yin is allowed to develop his big institute with all his strength, ten years later, he will still not be able to create these things."

"In a very difficult environment, relying on the poor human and material resources in Liangshan, we have taken these few steps. Now that we are rich in the southwest, and we beat you back, our situation will stabilize. Ten years later, there will be no more in this world. There are Jin Guo and Jurchen."

The sky was still cloudy, and the wind was blowing in the mountains. After Ning Yi finished speaking, Zong Han put down the small bamboo tube. He turned his head to look at Gao Qingyi. When he got up, Ning Yi clasped his hands on the table, the corners of his mouth gradually turned into an arc, and then he laughed.The three laughed non-stop, Lin Qiu put his hands on his back and looked at Zong Han and Gao Qingyi indifferently.

"Ning Rentu said this, did he think he was handsome..."

Wanyan Zonghan laughed and talked, Ning Yi tapped his fingers on the table and laughed, "The commander is laughing at me for speaking in the vernacular, isn't it? Hahahaha..."

"Haha, it's ridiculous that Ningren Tu Xu is intimidating!"

"Hahaha, I'll kill your son later."

"..."

Zong Han's expression stiffened for a moment, then continued his laughter, which gradually turned into a bloody killing intent.Ning Yi stared into his eyes and kept smiling. After a long time, his smile stopped. He still looked at Zong Han. He pressed the small bamboo tube on the table with his fingers and pushed it forward.Word by word.

"For more than ten years, the lives of tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, including Xiaocanghe to the present, the blood that sticks to your hands, you will return it little by little under very desperate circumstances..."

"I give it to all of you."

Under the small pergola, Ning Yi's eyes were filled with murderous aura.Unlike Zong Han's threatening aura, Ning Yi's killing intent was unusually indifferent. At this moment, the air seemed to be dyed pale by this indifference.

Under the pergola, in the eyes of the two, it seemed to be divided into two poles of ice and fire.

Gao Qingyi moved slightly.

Lin Qiu stared at Gao Qingyi and moved slightly.

The confrontation continued for a moment.The sky is cloudy, and the grass is popular.
