Pan Mei is closing her left eye and opening her right eye, looking into the distance through a telescopic copper telescope.
The copper telescopic "telescope" comes from the distant continent of Europa. It is said that the manufacturing process is extremely complicated. The main difficulty lies not in the extremely exquisite and complicated patterns carved on the surface, but in the two thin convex lenses!
Two convex crystal sheets inlaid at both ends of the copper tube. It is said that it takes a long time of ultra-high temperature to smelt a small amount of transparent glass liquid from hundreds of kilograms of different ores!
Only by burning the flames as hot as volcanic magma for seven days and seven nights can the stones, sand and other ores be melted and several kilograms of transparent liquid be quenched!
After the transparent liquid cools naturally, it solidifies into a glass-like object, which is very similar to natural crystal! But there are still impurities in it. In order to purify, it needs to be melted twice! The second time, more volatiles are evaporated, and the remaining content is less, but the purity is also true.
increased!
As long as it doesn't meet expectations, then purify it! Until those craftsmen feel that they can make lenses!
Skilled craftsmen use various tools to cut the crystal material into discs, and then perform rough polishing, fine polishing, and finally fine polishing. After more than 20 consecutive days of polishing, they throw out crystal pieces that are just the right size, crystal clear, and have a concave-convex effect on the surface.
.
The distance between the two crystal pieces can be changed by extending the length of the copper tube, and the change in the distance between the two crystal pieces can adjust the distance of sight.
This kind of telescope itself is as rare and precious as a rare one in the Western Regions. In the Central Plains, it is even harder to find and is priceless!
In order to capture the Southern Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy three telescopes from Persian businessmen, and gave them to the commanders of the three armies attacking the Han Dynasty respectively!
Pan Mei slowly put down the telescope, frowned and said: "Herald!"
A muscular soldier immediately appeared next to Pan Mei behind him, bowed and said, "My subordinate is here!"
Pan Meidao: "Give me the order and the whole army will come down the mountain to fight!"
Wei Qiansui asked doubtfully: "Going down the mountain?"
"The Han army has been dispatched. If we defend here, we will easily be blocked by the opponent on the mountain! There are cliffs on three sides here, and there is only one road leading down the mountain. Originally, we had the advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the opponent has new troops.
, are also equipped with heavy weapons such as ballistas and trebuchets, as well as rockets, which are quite powerful. Moreover, they have released all the 20,000 heavy cavalry and the 10,000 war elephants that they have been recuperating for a long time. If we insist on holding on,
You can only be beaten passively on the mountain, so it's easy for them to stew here!"
Wei Qiansui's eyes flashed and he instantly understood the seriousness of the situation. He immediately nodded and said: "That makes sense! I will do as you wish!"
Pan Meidao: "Let's go down the mountain first and get ready for a decisive battle. Although we are relatively short of troops, fortunately we also have long-range attack weapons. We can surprise them first! At least we can slow down their attack speed. In addition, we are in a
In an open area, if you cannot withstand the opponent's fierce attack, you can retreat in all directions in time to preserve your strength."
All the generals around him nodded in agreement!
The military orders are like mountains. The main force of the Song army is the Luoyang Tiger, which has always been famous for its vigorous and vigorous actions. It has been assembled in an instant!
Li Prince Consort has already led the heavy cavalry to the open area at the foot of the mountain. Yin Chongke led tens of thousands of infantry to quickly assemble down the mountain. The other battalion generals led their respective barracks to assemble down the mountain. The ballista battalion's ballista carts, trebuchets, and three-bow
The bed crossbows gradually revealed their true appearance from the hidden depths of the forest! There are also many divine arm bows that have also unveiled their mysterious veils!
If the enemy had seen the Song Army's amazing equipment and terrifying military strength, they would have been frightened and abandoned the city and fled!
If it weren't for the skeleton soldiers of the Demon Cult who blocked the Song Army's several attacks on the city, the Song Army would have already held a grand celebration banquet in Hezhou City!
When the Han army arrived at the clearing in front of the mountain, one hundred thousand Song troops had already lined up and were ready!
The leader of the Han army, Gong Chengshu, saw from a distance that the Song army was so dense that he could not see the edge of the enemy. He had set up a battle formation and was immediately surprised!
He didn't care about rushing to "a stone's throw" and immediately waved his hand to signal the entire army to stop advancing immediately!
The two legions faced each other at a distance, about a thousand steps apart!
Based on the maximum shooting range of the Song Army's strongest archer at this time, which is 350 steps, the distance between the two sides is exactly three arrows!
Gong Chengshu’s greatest characteristic is his cautiousness!
In fact, he was not like this before.
But ever since the foolish king surnamed Liu castrated him, he no longer has any lofty sentiments!
When he gave the order to stop advancing, all the original deployments were instantly invalidated, and all the generals turned their attention to General Gong!
what to do?
Gong Chengshu's mind raced and he quickly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy's and our own forces!
The opponent's soldiers and horses have been exhausted after months of continuous fighting. They seem to be full of momentum but are actually at the end of their strength. They seem to have the momentum of a decisive battle. Pan Mei must be playing tricks and bluffing!
The group of Song soldiers stood a little too densely, as if they were hiding something, hum! Hidden behind them must be the Song army's three-bow crossbow!
His eyes flashed and he immediately had an idea!
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
"exist!"
"exist!"
"exist!"
"According to the original plan, the ballistae and trebuchets will destroy their heavy equipment first to prevent them from causing us huge casualties!" Without the cover of the city wall, flesh and blood are like ants in front of the three-bow bed crossbow! So they must be destroyed first
The opponent's claws and teeth reduce the probability of injury!
"Have you noticed that direction? There must be three-bow bed crossbows behind those Song troops! Blast that place first!" General Gong became more and more aggressive, "While General Zhang is responsible for long-range attacks, General Wang, we plan to fine-tune
For a moment, you lead the cavalry to attack first and break down the Song army's defense line. Then the Little Skeleton King leads the army of bones to follow up quickly, taking advantage of the situation to tear the opponent's formation into a bigger hole and make it more chaotic! The opponent will definitely be defeated at this time.
General Liu, you lead the infantry to take advantage of the situation to cover up the attack. If you are specifically to kill General Ruan, just stay where you are!"
"As you command!"
"As you command!"
General Ruan was a little disappointed. He came all the way to show off his power and make a name for himself. If he didn't participate in the battle today, he would have lost another opportunity to be remembered in history! Today's battle between Song and Han is definitely a battle that will determine the fate of the two countries! Both sides are almost betting on
.Whoever loses as his main force is almost destined to be eaten!
The Dragon-Controlling Holy Maiden sat on the back of Yongzhu and patted Yongzhu's back gently. Yongzhu immediately stopped! They were about two thousand steps away from the battlefield!
The white-bone commander next to Yongzhu said: "Why did you stop!"
The Dragon Controlling Saint said: "Don't you want to give the little Skeleton King a chance?"
Commander Bai Gu suddenly realized, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me! You have to give him a chance!"
If Tao Zhu joins the battlefield, with its temperament of killing anyone on sight, the Song army will be reduced to ashes in an instant. Where will there be a chance for the little skeleton king to show off his talents?
The Dragon Controlling Saint said: "We just need to keep an eye on those fish that slip through the net and don't let them escape."
Commander Bai Gu said: "Yeah!"
The Holy Girl Who Controls the Dragon suddenly said: "By the way, will the one named Feng come too?"
The White Bone Marshal was startled and said with a wry smile: "I hope he won't come!"
The Holy Girl Who Controls the Dragon sighed and said: "The more you hope he won't come, the more likely he will come! My right eye keeps twitching recently, and I always feel like something is going to happen!" The left eye twitches for wealth, and the right eye twitches for disaster.
, of course she was a little upset!
Commander Baigu said: "Don't talk nonsense, these are all unfounded and nonsense!"
The Holy Girl Who Controlled the Dragon said: "How come there is no proof? It is said that after the death of the ancient god Pangu, his left eye turned into Fuxi and his right eye turned into Nuwa. Since then, the eyes have been divided into yin and yang. The left eye is yang, which refers to life.
Noble, big, up, the right eye is yin, which means death, cheap, small, down. So if the right eye jumps, it is not a good thing! There is a book called "The Jade Box" written in the Jin Dynasty, which records it very clearly."
Marshal Baigu frowned and said: "I know this book. It is a classic about divination written by a Taoist priest. How come you have studied this recently?"
The Dragon Controlling Saint sighed: "I don't know why. Maybe it's really a cycle of heaven and retribution?"
The White Bone Marshal immediately stopped and said: "Don't talk nonsense!" He was surprised by the performance of the Dragon Controlling Saint today! How could this happen?
The Southern Han army suddenly separated to both sides like a tide, leaving a wide passage in the middle. Dozens of ballista carts and trebuchets were pushed forward by the soldiers!
The entire Han army moved forward as a whole. It was not until the longbowmen of the Song army fired a shower of arrows that the Han army arrogantly stopped next to the Song army's feather arrow that was closest to them and hit the ground! Gong
The general said proudly: "I'll give you a chance. Just stand here and shoot as you please!" The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty looked at each other angrily, but no one dared to speak until the general spoke.
Gong Chengshu laughed wildly, "If you don't want the opportunity, don't blame me! Do it!"
Pan Mei on the Song Army side immediately waved her hand, and countless soldiers behind her raised their shields. Countless shields were instantly spliced together, continuously forming a huge shield network! Some people protected the top to prevent arrows from falling, and some protected them.
Hold the lower plate to prevent the crossbow from flying to the ground and injuring your legs and feet!
Then dozens of infantrymen stood side by side in front of Pan Mei, holding shields taller than a man, to protect the general!
Since ballistas and trebuchets are heavy equipment and are usually operated by more than two people, their range is naturally much greater than that of feather arrows! This is also Gong Chengshu's arrogant capital!
You can't cum in me, but I can blow you up!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The Han army's crossbows took the lead in attacking, and dozens of huge flaming crossbows were fired at the Song army!
The fire crossbow roared out like a dragon!
There was a crunching sound, and ten fire crossbows exploded halfway!
Zhu Wu could clearly see from the top of the city that the white-haired python-robed eunuch in the Song army was surrounded by ten masters. There was no doubt that the eunuch was Wei Jinjie, the Secretary of the Imperial City of the Song Dynasty! The ten masters beside him drew their bows and shot arrows at the same time, breaking ten of them.
Fire crossbow!
But for the remaining twenty or so fire crossbows, they had no other choice but to resist!
boom!
boom!
boom!
The powerful impact of the fire crossbow instantly knocked down countless Song soldiers!
The pine oil on the fire crossbow splashed everywhere, and many Song soldiers immediately ignited flames. The Song soldiers next to them quickly put out the fire! If you put it out too slowly, the ball will be burned to death!
boom!
boom!
boom!
Five or six earthen balls as big as watermelons hit the Song Army's shield net, knocking down a large area! The huge impact directly broke the arms of some soldiers!
Then the earth trembled, and countless soldiers dressed suspiciously suddenly came out of the Han army, rushing over like a tide!
The Song Army was very familiar with these strange soldiers. They were the skeleton army of the Demon Cult's undead army.
The Song Army had fought against them the most, and the fear they had at the beginning had long since disappeared! At first, the Bone Army’s immortality and never-tiring made the Song Army suffer a lot, but now, they are used to it!
However, the opponent's trebuchets and ballistae continued to launch attacks from a distance, which were extremely powerful and destructive to the Song Army. However, the Song Army was beyond reach, and they had to be distracted from dealing with the army of bones, so they were attacked from both sides.
, instantly fell into trouble!
Pan Mei saw the army of bones rushing a hundred steps away, and immediately shouted: "Three-bow bed crossbow!!"
Countless soldiers behind them regrouped in an instant, and the soldiers responsible for covering them immediately dispersed, revealing the Song Army's biggest weapon! The three-bow bed crossbow!
Five three-bow crossbows were ready, and the arrows were strung. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Five giant arrows were shot out!
The wind and thunder are surging, heading straight towards Huanglong!
Five giant arrows blasted directly into the bones formation, blasting through a series of bones and skeletons! The huge impact, coupled with the special arrows, caused the bones to explode wherever they passed!
Each arrow can penetrate at least twenty skeleton soldiers!
Pan Mei raised her hand, and Prince Consort Li shouted loudly: "Cavalry attack!"
"kill!"
The roar was earth-shattering, and 20,000 heavily armored cavalry rushed out instantly!
Iron hooves flew, the earth shook and the mountains shook, smoke and dust swirled up into the sky!
