The wooden target on the mountainside was blown to pieces by the Dragon Cannon of the Song Dynasty, and a large hole was blown out of the ground. If it was a human being, whether it was an infantry or a cavalry army, there would be no bones left, and it would be difficult to escape.
After everyone came back to me, whether it was Jia Sidao and other ministers of the DPRK, or the newly appointed officers of the Royal Forest Army, they all sighed greatly. In addition to shock, they were shocked. Is this a weapon? Such a powerful weapon. There is no other word to describe it but to use an artifact to explain it. The four well-informed producers that day were also dumbfounded after watching the artillery test firing, let alone these people now.
This is an era where it is easy to create gods. The backwardness of science and technology makes it easier for people in ancient times to believe in the existence of gods. As a time traveler, am I not also the patron god of China? Even if I am not, I will create myself. A great god.
With the establishment of the Royal Forest Army, firearms will gradually become more popular. Although this is my secret, more and more people will know about it. I asked Jia Sidao and others to watch the test firing of the artillery, in order to let them understand. , I am the real emperor, the real dragon emperor who obeys the destiny of heaven. Don't have any ulterior motives or come up with any tricks. At the same time, I also let the senior generals of the Yulin Army know that the Song Dynasty army is invincible, and They are no longer the Mongolian cavalry roaming the battlefield.
Jia Sidao's heart was more complicated. Is this what Lian Zhen said about superiors not being offended? The monk seemed to be right about this, and he was glad that he did not immediately break up with Zhao Yu. Just imagine, what if this happened What will be the consequences if the so-called Dragon Cannon of the Song Dynasty hits your mansion a few times?
However, Jia Sidao began to have some doubts about Lian Zhen's statement that "his position could not last forever."
"Ten years of Emperor Taiping," Jia Sidao thought of Song Lizong's prediction. Should he have to wait for ten years in such a grievance, or should he cater to the superiors? Whether he wanted to see the resurgence of the Song Dynasty or not.
I waited for everyone to calm down before saying: "Dear dear friends, this is my dragon cannon, the artifact of the Song Dynasty. It is also a cannon in the true sense, not a cannon that throws stones as mentioned in the past. I will show you this dragon cannon." There are hundreds of gates. Tell me, with such artifacts, will I still be afraid of the Mongolian cavalry? Will the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and regaining the mountains and rivers be just a dream?"
"What, there are hundreds of doors," Fan Wenhuan asked in surprise, not knowing whether he was excited or panicked.
"Well, that's right," I replied without hesitation. Of course, I knew very well that there is only one such artillery at present. However, since there is already the first one, it shows the manufacturing technology of the artillery. It's feasible.
Fan Wenhuan continued: "If these hundreds of dragon cannons are fired together, it will be enough to destroy the world."
I smiled: "Fan Aiqing is right. I plan to build hundreds more of these dragon cannons within two years. By then, it will not be a volley of hundreds of dragon cannons, but a volley of hundreds of dragon cannons. Of course it can be done." To what Fan Aiqing said, it will destroy the heaven and the earth."
"Your Majesty, that means our imperial army will also be equipped with this kind of artifact," Zhang Shijie, who saw the artillery for the first time, couldn't hold it in anymore and asked excitedly.
"Of course I will. Not only the Royal Forest Army, I plan to equip all the armies of our court with them. My dears, now you all know what a divine weapon is, right?"
"Your Majesty, everyone knows it," the brigade commanders of the Royal Forest Army were the first to reply.
"Well, this artifact is the top secret of our court. You need to keep it strictly confidential. No matter who it is, if it is leaked, it will be dealt with according to the military law, Xiao Qi,"
"The little one is here,"
"It is my will. Without my instructions, no one can enter the Gunpowder Department at will,"
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
"Xie Daolin,"
"I am here,"
"As the barrier of the Gunpowder Department, the Royal Forest Army also has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding. If there is any mistake, I will hold you jointly and severally responsible."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I promise not to let a moth fly in,"
"Okay, dear friends, it's already lunch time. Follow me back to the Imperial Forest Army's station. Let's have dinner in the army today."
"Yes, I obey the order,"
Three days later, Shen Mo and Yun Zhongfei returned to Lin'an.
It can be seen from the tired but extremely excited expressions of the two people that they have won, Xia Gui has won, and the Luzhou Army has won.
"I, Shen Mo, and I, Yun Zhongfei, are here to see Your Majesty." After the two returned, they rushed to the Imperial Study Room without stopping.
"My dear friends, thank you for your hard work. Sit down and drink a cup of freshly brewed hot tea. It must be very cold in the north at this time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Shen Mo said, "Your Majesty, it is already freezing cold in the north. Just when I left, it snowed heavily in the Anfeng Army area."
"It's snowing. Fortunately, Xia Gui chose the right time. If it had been three days late, it would have been inconvenient for the army to move. It seems that God is also helping me,"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if we move in the snow, we won't even be able to find the secret trail,"
"Well, Shen Mo, tell me about the process,"
Shen Molian drank two cups of hot tea and said: "Your Majesty, after receiving the order, the Japanese minister and Yun Zhongfei immediately selected twenty imperial guards and set out at Mao hour (five o'clock in the morning) on October 22nd. Due to worries Unfortunately, I only rested for more than two hours during the two nights, and finally arrived at Luzhou Mansion on Huainan West Road one day early on the evening of October 24th."
We set out on the morning of October 22nd, and within two days we arrived at Luzhou, which is 1,600 miles away from Lin'an. The speed was really fast, and it could be compared with the 800-mile express.
"After arriving at General Xia's mansion, I rested for two days. At the end of Haishi (11 p.m.) on the 26th, I accompanied 800 Luzhou soldiers led by General Xia and marched towards the Anfeng Army on the south bank of the Huaihe River. These 800 soldiers were all very good in physical skills, and their marching speed at night was not slow at all. Although they were not as good as the imperial guards, they also showed the quality of elite soldiers. On the evening of the 27th, the troops arrived at the south of Anfeng Army. At the foot of the mountain, after taking a short rest, the troops, led by General Xia Gui, detoured westward. There were all mountain paths along the way, and there were even no roads in some places. After about four hours of hard travel, they finally arrived on the 20th. They arrived at their destination in the early morning of the 8th, which was to the west of Yangjia Town. The troops lurked in the dense forest for a whole day, and prepared to launch a sneak attack at half past midnight on the 29th (four o'clock in the morning)."
"The mountain road is rugged, and it is difficult for the old general Xia Gui,"
"Yes, Your Majesty, although General Xia said he practiced martial arts every day, he was old after all. Halfway through the journey, his physical strength was exhausted. I obeyed your Majesty's order and guarded General Xia every step of the way. Later, I asked the imperial guards to He took turns carrying the old general on his back and finally arrived successfully."
"Well, Shen Mo, continue,"
"Although the Mongolian garrison in Yangjia Town had gone through a carnival, they were still heavily guarded. After consultation with General Xia, I and Yun Zhongfei each led ten guards, sneaked in quietly, and eliminated seven or eight hidden sentries beside the gate. Finally, he was discovered by the Mongolian guards. Upon seeing this, the ministers ignited the gunpowder and other flammable materials they carried with them, and opened the west gate of the town. Seeing the fire as a signal, General Xia immediately commanded eight hundred warriors to rush into the enemy camp. ,"
For a master like Shen Mo, war can be exciting, especially the first real war. Shen Mo became more and more excited as he spoke: "Your Majesty, a war between armies is completely different from a duel between martial artists. The scene is spectacular. , the cruelty really opened my eyes,"
Shen Mo drank another cup of tea before continuing: "General Xia took the lead, wielding a long sword, and charged in first. The ministers did not dare to neglect, and followed Old General Xia closely. After a while, the ministers felt that the sword was not too strong. Suitable for a war of this scale, we seized the swords and spears from the enemy one after another. Fortunately, everyone was quite proficient in various weapons. They guarded General Xia and fought in the enemy camp. Those Mongolian soldiers were worthy of being the best soldiers in the world. As expected, They were well-trained. Although they had just gone through the carnival, they were caught off guard at the beginning and nearly two hundred soldiers were killed by our army. However, they soon launched a counterattack under the organization of the guard of the town, Mongolian Ten Thousand Soldiers Chang Huchi, and Relying on the advantage of large numbers of people, we gradually stabilized our position,"
I nodded and said, "According to prior intelligence, there should be two thousand Mongolian and Han soldiers in Yangjia Town."
"Your Majesty, the number of enemies in Yangjia Town is roughly as expected," Shen Mo said. "The Mongols are very fierce. They divided our army into three parts and intended to encircle and annihilate them. However, the eight hundred selected by General Xia The death squad members are not mediocre. Although they are weak against strong ones, they are not afraid at all and do not fall behind. Not long after, they heard roars coming from the north gate of Yangjia Town. The ministers and others knew that it should be the north gate. The Polu army in Yangzhou outside the gate launched an attack as promised. The Mongolian guard knew that something was wrong and strictly ordered the 500 Mongolian soldiers guarding the north gate to hold on to the gate with all their strength. He carried a scimitar and personally led 600 uniformed soldiers. The Mongolian soldiers and generals surrounded this part of the Luzhou Army, and the guard Hu Chi also knew very well that as long as he could quickly capture the enemy commander who had sneaked into the town before the North Gate was breached, the war could be reversed, otherwise he would definitely lose."
"The battle was so fierce. Those Mongolians must not have thought that our army would dare to launch an attack." Listening to Shen Mo's story, I became a little excited. Although I knew that our army would win in the end, the process also made me feel nervous. .
"Your Majesty, the war has reached this stage. The key is to watch the time. If the eight hundred death squads hold back the defenders in the town, they only need to break the gate to achieve a complete victory. At that time, the ministers did not know what was going on. According to the situation, it is expected that the main force led by Major General Xia must also be engaged in a fierce battle with the main force of the defenders south of Yangjia Town. This group of Luzhou troops including the minister has about three hundred people, and the other two groups of people saw the Mongolian soldiers besieging their own. The commander also tried his best to join us, but was blocked tightly on the outside. Seeing this, General Xia waved his sword in his hand and shouted loudly, "The reinforcements have arrived. I, the Great Song Dynasty, only need to hold the enemy for a moment." , our army will break through the door, and then attack from inside and outside, we will win. Soldiers of Luzhou, fight hard,' Under the encouragement of General Xia, everyone shouted, 'Fight hard,'"
