In the large tent of the Western Camp of the Yuan Army in Lumen Mountain, Alaowading, a weapons expert of the Yuan Dynasty, first said: "Master Shenzun, Master Zhenjin, Marshal Ashu, and generals. Although I have not personally seen the artillery of the Southern Dynasties. Real objects. But judging from the degree of damage, their artillery is completely different from the trebuchets of our dynasty. Their design principles, structures, etc. are completely different. The artillery of the Southern Dynasty is close to the Zhentian used by the Jin people. Thunder. The biggest advantage of this artillery is its explosiveness. Simply put, the trebuchet, including the return artillery, only attacks one point, while the southern artillery attacks a surface and a range. Therefore, it is more powerful. With its destructive power, I cannot currently make such a cannon with my ability. Unless we can find the relevant information left by the goldsmiths back then."
Yin Tianya said: "Alao Wading. I will send people to find the information about Zhentian Lei as soon as I return. It's just that more than thirty years have passed. Whether it can be found is still unknown."
"It all depends on the person." Alao Wading also knew that this matter was quite slim. He sighed.
Ah Shu seemed a little anxious: "Master Shen Zun. Master Alao Wading. Then how should our army deal with the artillery of the Southern Dynasty."
Alawadin said: "The 'lying down' method used by Marshal Ashu and Master Shenzun before is one of the effective coping methods. As long as you lie down on the ground and are not in the center of the explosion, the casualty rate is actually not high. During this round of shelling, Lord God carefully inspected the bodies of the seven dead. Only three of them were blown to pieces. They were obviously at the center of the explosion. The other four reacted too slowly. They did not lie down in time and were killed by the debris from the explosion. Most of the eleven injured people had only minor injuries. If they had reacted faster, it might have been avoided. This can be completely confirmed."
Ah Shu and others also nodded in approval.
Alaowading continued: "Secondly, since it uses gunpowder as a trigger, it must be afraid of water. Therefore, I assert that it is impossible to use firearms on a large scale on rainy days, especially when moving in the wild. What you are saying The Southern Dynasty musket mentioned may be just a piece of fire stick. Thirdly, artillery is the same as trebuchet. It is a long-range weapon. In other words, it is ineffective against targets at close range. This is for artillery, while musket is just the opposite. The closer it is, the more powerful it is. Fourth, according to my judgment, the artillery needs to be cooled down every time it is fired. I have seen the appearance of the early thunder cannons of the Song Dynasty. I have also heard about the appearance of the Thunderbolt. According to this It can be guessed that its firing principle is driven by the power of burning gunpowder. Therefore, after firing, the barrel will be extremely hot. It needs to be cooled with cold water before firing a second time. The fifth reason is that the artillery is bulky and moving speed. It will be very slow. It is not suitable for sudden battles in the wild."
After listening to Alaowadin's long speech, Yin Tianya praised: "Alaowadin is worthy of being a weapons expert in our dynasty. He can tell the five major shortcomings of artillery so quickly."
"Thank you, Lord God." A Laowading smiled. "Sir Zhenjin, Marshal A Shu, and my disciple, Artillery Battalion Chief Yisi Mayin, brought ten return artillery pieces this time. Although they were throwing boulders. There is no need to cool down. Its burst performance may be stronger than the opponent's artillery. It will be of great help in siege. Yismain."
"The disciple is here."
"This time you will stay in Xiangyang and be under the command of Marshal A Shu."
"Yes. Master."
Yin Tianya said: "Marshal Ashu, according to the decree of the Great Khan, all ten return cannons were launched at the north gate of Fancheng. After I return, I will discuss with the Great Khan and inform you of the time for the attack. Okay, everyone, return to the center. Military camp.”
Early the next morning, Yin Tianya took Boyan, A Shu and several other generals of the Yuan army as well as four personal guards in gray. A group of more than ten people arrived in front of the Song army camp in Guanzitan.
Three hundred steps away, Yin Tianya waved his hand, telling Boyan and others to stop moving forward. He dismounted and walked forward alone. After strolling forward for about a hundred steps, he spoke to Song Ying unhurriedly. : "The people from the camp opposite are sending a message for me. I am the Mongolian God of Tianya, Yin Tianya. Please come out and answer the question." Yin Tianya's voice was not very loud, but everyone could hear it clearly. .This profound skill makes Ah Shu and others envious.
Scouts had already sent back the news. When Yin Tianya appeared in sight, Yuan Ji, Fang Ling and others were already standing on the guardrail of the camp.
"He is Tianya God Seal Tianya."
"That's right, Your Majesty. I haven't seen him in nearly twenty years." The calm Yuan Ji was uncharacteristically excited and said, "It seems that Yin Tianya wants to compete with Wei Chen."
"Yin Tianya is known as the best master in Mongolia. Sir, you are also the best in my court. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
I know that Yuan Ji is a martial arts cultivator. In recent years, he has been by my side. In addition, because of his outstanding martial arts skills, he has almost no chance to compete with masters. It is natural to meet such an evenly matched opponent in front of Guanzi Beach. It’s hard to hide the excitement in my heart.
Moreover, Yin Tianya stepped forward to challenge alone. This was not just a battle between Tianya and the Valley of the Kings. It was also a martial arts battle between the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. This battle was supposed to be held during the discussion of Taoism in Longhu Mountain. It was delayed for some reason. several years.
"Okay. Just be careful."
Masters are lonely. Peerless masters like Yuan Ji and Yin Tianya are even more lonely. It is a kind of loneliness without opponents. This is also the reason why martial arts and martial arts practitioners pursue Shattered Void one after another after they have reached a certain level. They can only reach Only in another dimension can there be new breakthroughs. This is like a top pick in a county. When he has no rivals in the local area, he always hopes to go to the provincial capital to increase his knowledge.
Yuan Ji jumped lightly, flew down from the top of the camp, and walked straight forward.
"Ling'er, Quanyi, generals. This is a battle that only happens once in a century. Look carefully. Maybe it will give you some inspiration. Wen Zhang, please prepare the snipers."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yin Tianya saw Yuan Ji approaching. He smiled slightly and said, "Yes. As expected of Yuan Ji from the Imperial Valley. He dares to come to see me alone."
Yuan Ji also smiled and said: "Yin Tianya. Even your capital in Mongolia, Xanadu. Yuan can go there whenever he wants."
"That's true." Yin Tianya did not refute. He still maintained a smile and said, "Master Huolong. The Valley of the Kings is known as the sect of martial arts in the Southern Dynasties. I have been interested in it for a long time. But you, the Valley of the Kings, have always been self-righteous and closed off. Today the two armies are fighting. I just got this opportunity. Please ask Master Huolong to give me some advice."
"Yin Tianya. Yuan, your shaman's secret place, is also nowhere to be found. Since there is such a good opportunity today, Yuan will not miss it."
"Okay. Come on. Fire Dragon Master. Please."
"Yin Shen Zun. Please."
Even though it is summer, the sun has also shown its smile. However, several consecutive days of rain have made the climate in front of Guanzi Beach much cooler. From time to time, there are cool breezes blowing.
However, everyone watching the game had no intention of enjoying this rare refreshing experience. They just stared at the people on the field intently.
Neither Yuan Ji nor Yin Tianya took action immediately. They stood face to face, seemingly waiting for an opportunity. At their level, if they didn't move, it would be a shock.
I subconsciously held the small pistol in my hand. Although I knew that the distance of two hundred steps was far beyond the range of my pistol.
Mu Di. The two of them shouted loudly at the same time. They took two steps forward in unison and exchanged palms with their palms without any fancy. Then, punches came and went, and they fought in one place.
When experts compete with each other, it doesn't make much difference whether they have weapons or not.
Yuan and Yin have strong palm power. The wind of their palms can sweep three feet away. Fortunately, we are still two hundred steps away from the two of them, so we can't feel the strength of the palm wind at all. Yin Tianya's palm techniques are extremely mysterious. 10 Among the moves, there were seven or eight false moves. I heard Yuan Ji say that Yin Tianya's martial arts came from Mongolian shamans. And the martial arts of the shaman sect also incorporated some of the unique skills of the Valley of the Kings. Therefore, it is slightly different from the martial arts of the Valley of the Kings. There are similarities.
Although I have never studied Imperial Valley martial arts, I have seen and heard it and have some understanding of it. At first, I could still see that the moves used by Yuan Ji were just the very common Taizu boxing techniques. Dakai Dahe. Merge. There is not much magic. But this entry-level boxing technique is comparable to Yin Tianya's palm technique. However, as the speed of the two people's moves speeds up, I can no longer see clearly what kind of martial arts the two are using. Already.
Xie Daolin, Fang Ling, Zhang Quanyi, Shen Mo and others on the side could occasionally say a few words. But gradually, they could no longer keep up with their rhythm. Meng Tianya finally said: "Mr. Yuan's The momentum is as solid as a rock. But I don’t know what Yin Tianya’s momentum is.” After that, everyone just watched and said nothing. I knew there was nothing that could be done about it. Compared with Yuan Ji and Yin Tianya, everyone’s state was inferior after all. a lot of.
This is the second time I have seen Yuan Ji take action. The first time was outside the gate of the Lin family in Fujian. Yuan Ji just made two marks on the head of the stone lion with his sword, and then forced back the masked men and women who came to challenge the Lin family. Ji Henlei. The sword struck the stone lion only for an instant. I didn't even see the process clearly and it was over. And this time I really saw Yuan Ji's martial arts. Not only me. Even Yuan Ji's disciple Shen Mo This was also the first time I saw his teacher doing his best.
The two men were full of energy and their momentum was like a rainbow. They quickly dismantled forty or fifty moves. Without the restraints of war horses, the speed of the foot battle was much better than the battle between Hu Yande and others a few days ago. Only the silhouettes of people were visible on the field. It was shaking. I couldn't tell who was who. Even with Fang Ling's martial arts skills, I was dazzled.
Based on my knowledge of martial arts, I believe that the battle between Yuan and Yin was not as exciting and enjoyable to watch as the three competitions including Meng Tianya's battle against Ashu.
At this time, I rubbed my eyes and accidentally discovered that the sun in the sky had become dim at some point.
