Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Fuck off, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xue Rengui retracted the kick he kicked out, and then whispered to Li Zhen: "Your Highness, don't listen to Fang Yiai's nonsense, he doesn't have a gatekeeper, he can't speak at all—but , What he said makes sense, no one thought that Tumidu's fire would be so ruthless, it could really burn on the water, and it was on such a large scale, let alone Xue Yantuo, even if we were afraid, it would be better Where are you going, so you can't blame Xue Yantuo for not being beaten."

"Shut up, what you said is not as good as Fang Yiai's." Du He couldn't take it anymore, pushed Xue Rengui aside, and said to Li Zhen: "His Royal Highness, neither of them can talk, don't you Mind, their intentions are actually good—besides, we didn’t lose, didn’t Huihe destroy Xue Yantuo one step ahead of our Tang Dynasty? What’s the big deal? Don’t forget, Huihe killed Xue Yantuo It’s gone, but it will take a long time to digest it completely. But our army is coming soon, how can we give him time to digest? Whether he is Huihe or Xue Yantuo, it will not be enough for us to slap him And now we are in an offensive position, the vanguard has camped in Langshou Mountain, and the cannons are already in place, we are the only ones to fight them, not them to fight us.”

"That's enough, that's enough, I'm not angry." Li Zhen couldn't laugh or cry: "Who said I was angry? I expected Tumidu to attack with fire, but I didn't expect him to have Greek fire. This time the fight is not unfair. But he can only win this round, wait for my cannons to be in place, and see what other tricks he can play under my volley of cannons?"

It's really depressing to say it. Although Li Zhen had already guessed that the hole card hidden by Tumidu was Fire Attack, she didn't expect it to be Greek Fire. Although it is a cut-down version, its power is no less than the original version, at least the range It is not comparable to the flamethrower. The flamethrowing range of the flamethrower is only ten feet, but the Greek fire can spray nearly fifty feet, and the Greek fire spontaneously ignites when it encounters air. Unlike the flamethrower, the nozzle must be equipped with a sparking device , which is far from the difference between the two.In addition, Tumidu specially decorated the Greek fire, which looked like a fire-breathing beast from a distance, which made Xue Yantuo feel terrified, and lost the war so inexplicably.

By the time Li Zhen's rescue arrived, Xue Yantuo had been completely defeated and could not do anything, so the army had to escort the artillery battalion back to the Langshou Mountain for defense. The name of the Langshou Mountain is actually a low hill, but Because it is close to the Sunset Lake, it is the only way from Mobei to Monan, so staying here is tantamount to strangling the traffic arteries in Monan and Mobei. None of them planned to invade Monan.

After getting the news, Li Zhen was immediately depressed, thinking of countermeasures in her heart, but these three living treasures thought that Li Zhen had been hit, and came to persuade them on their own.

"Your Highness, are you really alright?" Seeing that Li Zhen didn't seem to be lying, Du He asked in a low voice.

"Nonsense, what's the benefit of me lying to you?" Li Zhen rolled her eyes and asked again: "I was thinking, if we want to attack Tumidu, how do you think we can guarantee that he won't run away?"

This is not a good point for the nomads. Many times it’s not that we can’t beat them, but that they come and go like the wind on horseback. Even if they fail, they can retreat calmly, and the two-legged Han people can’t catch up.What's more, this battle is Li Zhen's first show prepared for the cannon, and she can't catch up even if she wants to.

"This is a bit difficult." Fang Yiai pondered for a while and said: "Our cavalry is only half trained, and riding is no problem, but cutting and killing is not enough. It is far behind the cavalry of Huihe, and we will definitely not be able to catch up. So we have to find a way to keep them from running."

"What you said is simple, everyone understands this truth, but unless it is in the mountains, how can you guarantee that they will not run away?" Du He rolled his eyes and gave his own opinion: "Actually, it is not There are no cavalry, and there are quite a few tribes who have taken refuge in our Tang Dynasty, if we gather them together."

"I thought you could come up with a good solution." Fang Yiai sneered and said, "It's not like you don't know that those tribes are nothing but grass and fall with the wind. I just got the news that after Huihe defeated Xue Yantuo, As long as there are tribes with a small scale on our side, they will send people to Mobei, and the intention is self-evident, and I don’t feel at ease if they are used to fight wars.”

"Actually, I have an immature idea." Xue Rengui said.

"tell me the story."

"Actually, I don't know where they will choose to put the battlefield." Xue Rengui smiled, and no longer kept the tricks, saying: "In this case, why don't we take the initiative and attract the enemy to the battlefield of our own choice? ?”

"Hehe, I want to do this too, but will Tu Midu be fooled?" Fang Yiai snorted and said, "You don't know how cunning Tu Midu is. How could he be so easily fooled?"

"But what if we can have enough bait?" Xue Rengui said, "No matter how cunning Tumidu is, he is still a human being. As long as he is a human being, he has emotions and desires, and there are flaws. Why can't we lure him into the bait?"

"It makes sense." Li Zhen's eyes lit up immediately: "Tell me what you think."

"No." Xue Rengui spread his hands readily: "I just had such an inspiration, and I haven't figured out how to implement it yet."

"Then what are you talking about?" Fang Yiai said angrily.

"It's better than you can't express a single opinion, okay?"

"I"

"That's enough, stop arguing." Li Zhen said impatiently: "Stop talking, I already have an idea, and I'll just wait for the army to arrive. By the way, how many people did the emperor send here?"

Xue Rengui said: "Here, it seems to be [-] cavalry, and there are [-] Modao troops, and no infantry."

"[-] cavalry is enough." Li Zhen nodded and said, still very moved in her heart. Although the Tang Dynasty did not lack horses, it was not abundant. The [-] cavalry was already half of the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. Sent here, which shows that he still cares about himself.

Chapter 220 The Cannon Comes

1Chapter 16 The cannon is here

"Your Highness, our army has arrived." Fang Yiai roared and rushed into Li Zhen's room: "[-] cavalry and [-] Mo Daomen have already arrived."

"Hey, what am I doing? Isn't it just reinforcements? As for making such a fuss?" Li Zhen rubbed her eyes and got up. Seeing him running so fast in the early morning, she thought that Huihe had been wiped out.

Fang Yiai shouted: "The reinforcements are nothing, the problem is that our cannons are here too."

"What? Cannon?" Li Zhen jumped up with a 'bang', and said with surprise: "Didn't you say it will take a while? Why did you arrive today?"

"It's the craftsmen who accompanied them. They disassembled the cannons and transported them separately, which greatly increased the speed of the march."

"Oh, why didn't I think of this trick?" Li Zhen patted her forehead annoyed, it seemed that she had lived in Datang for a long time, and even forgot such a simple truth.

"Maybe it's because His Highness is busy with affairs, so I didn't remember it." Fang Yiai said hehe.

"Go, are you trying to laugh at me?" Li Zhen gave him a sideways look, was she laughing at herself?

Fang Yiai laughed and said, "How dare I? This is really true."

"Let's not talk about this, let's go and have a look." Under the service of the little eunuch, Li Zhen quickly put on her clothes and walked outside quickly.

"His Royal Highness, please slow down and wait for me."

"See Your Highness." This time it was not Wu Liu who led the team, but Gao Ping, the chief steward in charge of the Thousand Hammer Workshop.

"Get up, where's the cannon?" Li Zhen hurriedly asked, "Who came up with the method of dismantling it?"

"The cannons are all here." Gao Ping pointed to the long line of convoys behind him, and said, "It was a small worker who came up with this method. His subordinates have already rewarded him and promoted him to be a small steward."

"Reward him with another hundred guan, this is the king's reward." Li Zhen waved his hand generously. This little worker has made great achievements. It can be said that because of him, the time of the decisive battle can be advanced several days. The value in this Even if you buy a hundred guan, you can't buy it.

"Then this subordinate will thank His Highness on his behalf."

"How many cannons did you bring this time?" Li Zhen was more concerned about the number of cannons, because only when the number reached a certain scale could a real artillery cluster be formed and the plight of the shortage of gunners on his side be alleviated.

That's right, although Li Zhen has tried his best to train artillery, but the time is too short, there are less than half a hundred qualified artillery, and the rest are semi-finished products that are only fired for firing. Cannonballs can be shot out, but they don’t know where they will hit. In this case, if you want to cause greater damage, you can only rely on firepower coverage, and if you want to form firepower coverage, you need fewer cannons.

Gao Ping said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, after your Highness's guidance, we have successfully tempered a lot of meteorite knives. Not only the processing speed is much faster, but the precision is also getting higher and higher. This time, I brought a total of fifty cannons. Come here, there are thousands of shells, which should be enough."

"Fifty gates?" It wasn't Li Zhen who exclaimed, but Xue Rengui who was next to him. He even changed his tone of voice under excitement. Not only him, Fang Yiai and Du He also exclaimed incessantly. The three people who know the most, also often listen to the concept of concentrated fire proposed by Li Zhen, and know the power of a large number of cannons concentrated and used.

"In addition to the five cannons of Langshou Mountain (the first experimental one has been scrapped), doesn't this mean that we already have 55 cannons?" Fang Yiai murmured: "55 cannons, this If it forms a concentrated fire, let alone a human, don't even try to hide from the gods?"

Du He nodded in agreement and said: "Of course, if 55 cannons are used together, no monsters or monsters will be able to break through our blockade. Tu Midu is dead this time."

"Not bad, Gao Ping, you have made a great contribution this time." Li Zhen was also very satisfied. These are fifty cannons. You must know that even in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Balu didn't have more than fifty cannons in his hands-- Don't talk about mortars, the cannons mentioned here must at least be mountain cannons with wheels.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment. Do you want to assemble this cannon?" After receiving Li Zhen's compliment, Gao Ping was not proud, but immediately thought of his mission.

"No, no, the assembly can't be done here. Just pull it to Langshou Mountain and assemble it." The Duhu Mansion is not close to Langshou Mountain, so it's better to just pull it there and assemble it there, which can save a lot of time. .

"Yes."

"Your Highness, when are we going to set off? I can't wait to see how the cannon will show its power." Fang Yiai urged with her hands frustrated, with a look of impatience on her face.

Li Zhen said unhappily: "Of course, the sooner the better, but he came all the way here, so he must let him rest for a while."

"That's right, let's go tomorrow then."

"No need, we rode three times alone on this journey, and we are not tired. Let's rest when we get there." A familiar voice sounded from behind Li Zhen.

"Master, why are you here?" Li Zhen looked at Qin Qiong in surprise: "Didn't I hear that you were sick? Are you leading the team this time?"

"I was sick at first, but thanks to Dr. Sun who came to Chang'an, he was finally cured. This time I heard that the emperor wanted to support you, so I volunteered to come here." Qin Qiong looked at Li Zhen with relief: "It's you, but you There has been a lot of trouble, now Chang'an City and even the entire Tang Dynasty are your legends, the title of the young guard has been placed on your head, and what other genius princes, Gan Luo is alive, and the young princes are also It's all about you."

"These people really know how to talk nonsense." Who knew that after hearing this, Li Zhen was very upset and said, "What kind of youth is protected, but also a genius prince, Gan Luo is alive, what is this all about?"
