Five Hundred and Nineteen: The Final Battle (4)

"I have to admit Zhou Yanbo's vision, the artillery power of the Shenhuo Battalion is really terrifying, I heard about it once when Zhou Yanbo attacked Xibai, and now it is another time in Hezhou. Xun Wenyu listened to Xun Tian's narration and sighed.

"The last time I went back to Jiazhou to see the young master, I heard him talk about the artillery of the Shenhuo Battalion, especially the Tiger Squat Cannon. Zhou Yanqing said to Xun Wenyu, "At that time, Qiu Ning of the Zhou Family Ministry of Industry was also present, he said that as long as ten tiger squat cannons attacked together, it was enough to smash the walls of a city. ”

"If Zhou Yanbo attacks the Shenhuo Camp to Wuyi...... Xun Wenyu was originally very confident in Wuyi's city defense, but when he saw the power of Zhou Yanbo's Shenhuo Camp firearms, his heart was a little bottomless.

"Not only the artillery, but also the cavalry of the Shenhuo Battalion have also improved a lot. Xun Tian said, "At that time, a large group of cavalry rushed out of the smoke, all of them were armed with firearms, and there was a special saber hanging on the harness, and the pikemen and longsword soldiers who could have dealt with the cavalry all suffered in front of the cavalry of the Shenhuo Battalion. ”

"Can that kind of firearm about the length of a saber be used on cavalry?" Xun Wenyu said puzzled.

"It's not a very long firearm, it's a very short firearm, I heard them say it's a handcuff, you can hold it with one hand, and the attack interval is shorter than that of a long firearm, it is estimated that you can attack once in two or three seconds, and the distance is very long, and before the infantry can pass with a spear, you have already died under the handcuff. ”

"And I found that the quality of this group of people is very high, and I always feel very similar to the Jin cavalry back then. He Dian added.

"It's not hard to understand. Zhou Yanqing said, "At that time, although the cavalry of the Jin family was almost destroyed, the method of cultivating the cavalry of the Jin family and many talents who are good at training cavalry still exist, plus the production of high-quality horses in the place of the Jin family, Zhou Yanbo can completely combine firearms and cavalry, and create the kind of cavalry that can quickly conquer the city, have a long distance and have a very powerful force. ”

"In short, this is the basic siege strategy of Zhou Shao's master: first use the powerful artillery power to completely destroy the city walls and city gate defenses, take advantage of the opponent's failure to come to his senses, use excellent cavalry to rush in and disrupt the opponent's position, and finally use infantry to fully suppress, one move after another, if you really do this, there are few cities in the world that can be defended. Zhou Yanqing made a final conclusion.

"There's no way?"

"There is a way. Zhou Yanqing said, "Destroy the artillery before the opponent's attack, as long as the head is broken, the rest will not be able to be carried out." ”

"Is it possible that the opponent's artillery has a longer range than any weapon, and it is placed next to the opponent's main formation?" He Dian immediately retorted.

"Then just wait for the rainy day to fight back, firearms are firearms after all, once it rains like this, no matter how good the firearms are, they will be discounted or even unusable. ”

"If I knew all those strange things, I would have tried to make it rain every day. He Dian retorted.

"But that's the best way to go. Zhou Yanqing said.

"Can you ask for rain?"

"No, but if you let Feng Wei's people wet all the gunpowder in the Zhou family, then the firearms will lose any power, and you can't let it rain on the sky, but it shouldn't be difficult for Feng Wei to wet the gunpowder?"

"Wet gunpowder?"

"It's okay to set them on fire, but that could cause a huge explosion, not to mention the danger, and it could also involve the Wind Guard on the mission. ”

"That's one way. ”

"The method is a good way, but whether it is destroying the artillery, or wetting the gunpowder, these are all things that can only be done by infiltrating the opponent's camp, maybe failure is possible, is there no way to defend the firearms?" Xun Wenyu said.

"Yes. Zhou Yanqing drank tea and said calmly.

"Yes!?" The three people in the audience all looked at Zhou Yanqing.

"However, this trick is more useful for medium-range firearms such as firearms and handguns, and it is not very useful for long-range artillery, so it should be so. ”

"What is it supposed to be like this?" He Dian said, "What other trump cards can be used quickly, as long as the Zhou family's firearms can be sealed, then it is unknown who will kill the deer." ”

Zhou Yanqing nodded, and then walked out of the hall, and when he came back, there was an extra metal cylinder in his hand, which seemed to contain something.

"What is this, to be able to seal a firearm?"

"It's called Fire Mist. Zhou Yanqing said, "After use, it can fill a gray-black smoke, and as long as it touches something hot, it will explode." This is something I saw in a book, and I thought it would come in handy in the future, so I followed the book's attempt, and it didn't go well at first, it always went wrong, and a few times it almost endangered my life. ”

"Something went wrong?" Xun Tian listened to Zhou Yanqing say this, and suddenly remembered that there was a time when Wuyi always rumored that the sound of explosions could be heard from time to time at night, and when some curious people went to check, they found that the place was shrouded in gray-black fog.

"It turns out that you were the ghost of those strange things that were done at noon some time ago. Xun Tian pointed at Zhou Yanqing and said.

"I was also shocked, I didn't expect things to be twisted to such a point, and I'm really glad I wasn't caught. Zhou Yanqing said with a smile.

"I said how to send out a bunch of people to squat and patrol without any gain......," Xun Tian said, "Because no one would have thought that these things were done by the Xun family......

"Is this thing useful?" asked Xun Wenyu.

"It should be useful, after all, I have already tried, if the Zhou family comes to attack the city, then release this fire mist in the whole city, thinking that at least it can solve the power of the Zhou family's firearms." ”

"Then let's use it, anyway, success or failure is here, as long as we can hold up to the reinforcements of the Han family, even if we win." ”

……

"Congratulations, the Han family's sailor is about to bypass the Nanji waters. "There is news from Luo Yingshe.

"The other party's sailor type?"

"There are three heavy sand ships, five large warships, eight medium-sized warships, and four small light ships and reconnaissance ships, and the number of troops on board is unknown. ”

"The Han family's sand boat has been improved, and if it is estimated at this scale, then the reinforcements of the Han family are about sixty or seventy thousand, which is not a small number. After listening to Luo Yingshe's report, Leng Jiachen said to the main seat, "Besides, the Han family used the navy to control the coastal towns earlier, and after so many battles, the Han family's navy has a lot of experience, coupled with the continuous improvement of ships, it is precisely because of these that the Han family dares to be qualified to be called the 'Supreme Sailor'." ”

"And this time, the water master sent by the Han family is only one-tenth. Ye Qianxi said.

“……”

"Even if it is a sailor who pursues the Han family from behind, I'm afraid it will be a bad battle. Leng Jiachen continued, "It would be even worse if there were still the Xun family's sailors coming to greet them. ”

“……”

"Lord, don't you say a few words, and tell us some of the strategies. Ye Qianxi looked at the sitting and said.

"Strategy?" Yun Yun put down the military information collected by Luo Yingshe in his hand and said, "I just finished reading it, and there is already a way." ”

"Really?" said the other two in unison.

"Leng Jiachen, you go first, prepare the ships used in the battle!"

"The Lord will speak. ”

"Since the other party is a small-scale sailor, then he will not take us seriously, and let me prepare: two Daifuku ships, three combat sailing ships, eight light ships, and ...... Ten ships of fire. ”

"It's basically light and small ships!?" Leng Jiachen said, he thought that Yun Yun would use many large ships or heavy ships, but he didn't expect that it was only two large Fu ships, and the combat sailing ships were only medium-sized Haicang ships that were slightly smaller than the Fu ships, and the rest were all small ships.

"That...... Miss Yun. Leng Jiachen persuaded, "Now it's not the Zhou family of a few years ago, and there is nothing in navigation and shipbuilding technology...... Although the Zhou family's sailor ships are not as many as the Han family's, there are not a few of them, and there are two heavy heavy ships alone...... In addition, the proceeds of ocean trade are used for sailors...... There's no need to be so stingy. ”

The largest ship of the Zhou family is not the Dafu ship, but the heavy Fu ship that Leng Jiachen collected and transformed from the Fu ship and the large Western ocean-going trading ship, which can be said to be the strengthening of the Dafu ship, although this kind of ship consumes more resources and time, but in terms of combat effectiveness, Leng Jiachen believes that it will definitely not lose to the Han family's ship, in fact, this scene he really wants to watch the scene of using the heavy fortune ship to defeat the Han family's large sand ship.

"I don't need it now, but I will use it in the future when I have a complete decisive battle with the Han family's sailors. Yun Yun easily saw through Leng Jiachen's thoughts.

"Oh......" Leng Jiachen was a little disappointed.

"Why don't you hurry up and prepare?" Yun Yun reminded, and Leng Jiachen immediately went to prepare the ships and manpower used.

"Lord General, do you want to win with lightness?" Ye Qianxi is also a veteran of water warfare, and he can guess the corresponding method of Yun Yun's configuration as soon as he hears it.

"That's right, don't look at the Han family's sailors so powerful, but it's useless just to improve the boat, this time, I will teach the Han family what the Zhou family's water battle is!" Yun Yun said confidently.
