Scholar?

What kind of reader?

What am I doing here for a scholar who can't slash people with a knife?

Feng Yong was dismissive of those Sven readers.

Confucianism flourished in the Later Han Dynasty, and the original intention was good.

Because Confucianism is easy to educate the common people, it can make society more stable.

But when the family gradually monopolized the inheritance of knowledge, the taste began to change.

More and more people are talking, sitting and talking, meeting in flashy, and making friends with each other.

When this kind of atmosphere became more and more intense, after all, it caused the wind of pure talk in the two Jin Dynasty periods.

Pragmatic?

How can such worldly things pollute my body?

Of course, it doesn't mean that all the children of the big families are this kind of waste, but the style of flashy and clean talk is indeed led by their class.

Otherwise, the stomach can't be filled, who is in the mood to brag?

I saw Feng Yongzheng said, "The old general, even if he is a thief, knows that flashy and clean talk hinders state affairs, not to mention that the Han Dynasty is now governed by officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they are strict and simple?" ”

The Northern Central Plains is the world of the family, so this kind of atmosphere is the most serious.

From Cao Cao to Cao Pi, they all ordered the deposition of this atmosphere.

Fortunately, today's Dahan was founded by a group of grassroots partners.

Coupled with Zhuge Old Demon's practice, the simple and pragmatic style still dominates.

"Whether it is the soldiers of Nanxiang or the students from Nanxiang School, they can be civil officials, agricultural officials, or craftsmen, all of whom contribute to the country and seek benefits for the people."

"What you can't do alone is to talk flashy and talk about things."

I like this kind of atmosphere in the enemy, but whoever comes out of the Xinghan Society system wants to be contaminated with this stinky disease, see how Lao Tzu smokes him to death!

Speaking of this, Feng Yong pointed to the engineering battalion below that was undergoing the final inspection process, "Old general, don't underestimate this kind of stone-throwing truck. ”

"Yong is here to say a big thing, the advent of this kind of stone-throwing car, I am afraid that what we will face in the future is a new type of battlefield battle."

It was this kind of stone-throwing cart that Yuan Meng captured Fancheng and forced Xiangyang to surrender, and the fall of the two most important front-line cities in the Southern Song Dynasty officially opened the curtain of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This kind of stone-throwing car is called a miracle of weapons reform.

Because it's the cannon of the Cold Weapon Age.

And in Feng Yong's hands, what he has in his hands is this miracle weapon of the cold weapon era.

In other words, except for the kind of large cities with extremely strong walls, or cities with advantageous geographical advantages, which make this kind of catapult unable to function.

Ordinary cities built on major transportation routes can no longer be the defenders' greatest reliance.

A small city will be guarded for a few days, and a larger city will be held for more than ten days, and a city wall will inevitably be smashed.

This forced the defenders to go out of the city to fight.

Who is stronger in field technology?

Zhuge eight-array diagram, three-piece cavalry set.

Unless there is another great leap in the technology of fortification, or the technology of defending the city has been greatly improved, or the form of warfare changes again.

Otherwise, the counterweight stone-throwing cart will always be a nightmare for the defenders in the era of cold weapons.

For example, cement?

However, Feng Yong, who has tofu slag cement in his hand, said that whoever dares to use this cement as the main building material for building a house, it is none of my business whether the house collapses or dies!

Hearing Feng Yong say such words, not to mention Wei Yan, who had always looked down on each other with him, even Zhao Yun felt that this kind of talk was a bit too big.

"It seems that you are really self-aware, and you know that you are talking big."

Wei Yan couldn't help laughing, he waved his hand, "Let's go!" Don't say anything more about it. ”

"And after reading your things quickly, I have to go back and think about how to break the two cities of Yuzhong and Jincheng."

When Zhao Yun heard Wei Yan's words, he frowned slightly and said a fair word.

"The engineering battalion was brilliant in Longguan, Shangqi and other places last year, even if it is not as good as Feng Yong said, it must be unique."

Feng Yong sneered, too lazy to pick up Wei Yan's words.

He never took it for granted that he could forcibly change the thinking of these veterans with a single sentence.

Actions speak louder than words.

Three more stone-throwing carts soon rose underneath, adding up to five.

Seeing that the following was already on standby, Feng Yong asked Zhao Yun: "Where does the old general want to fight?" ”

"How far is the arrow tower?"

Zhao Yun pointed to the arrow towers erected in front of the city wall.

Feng Yong flipped through the book and replied, "The nearest one is one hundred and fifty steps, and the farthest is two hundred steps. ”

This was designed to be based on the distance from the actual attack on the camp.

Of course, if the two armies are holding each other, a trench will be dug on the periphery of the camp, so as not to be suddenly rushed under the camp.

The crossbowmen guarding the top of the turret are condescending and can shoot arrows conveniently.

If one side can not take advantage of the terrain to defend itself, the attacker can also build an arrow tower in front of the opponent's camp to suppress the enemy's activities in the camp.

This is one of the most common vantage points.

"Let's try them first."

Zhao Yun said.

The order was quickly passed down.

Ranging, aiming, adjusting the counterweight and lever length of the catapult......

After the First Battle of the Northern Expedition, the engineering battalion, which had been put into actual combat, quickly improved the stone throwing vehicle in view of the various problems that had occurred on the battlefield.

The advantage of the counterweight rubble is that the force applied is almost the same every time it is applied due to the use of a constant counterweight instead of pulling on each other.

If the weight of the projectile is controlled, the dispersion of the projectile can be reduced, so as to repeatedly hit a relatively fixed target and improve the attack efficiency.

And all this data can be tested continuously.

Therefore, all kinds of commonly used data in the commander's manual of each rock-throwing truck have been relatively complete.

There was no need to try again, and one stone quickly whistled past one of the corners of the tower, and then the second stone hit right and smashed one of the pillars of the tower.

The most important thing is not this.

The important thing is that even if you sit on it, you can hear the sharp whistling.

When the stone falls to the ground, it rumbles again.

Zhao Yun was a little hesitant, just listening to this voice, he knew that this kind of catapult was extremely powerful.

A dozen or so stones flew out one after another, and the arrow tower soon collapsed.

When Zhao Yun saw all this, he finally couldn't help but stand up and look into the distance.

Generally speaking, throwing cars is generally used in tens and hundreds of together, so that it has enough power - because the accuracy is too low.

Obviously, the kind of stone throwing truck that Feng Yong has in hand is not only powerful, but also extremely accurate.

"Try two hundred steps."

Zhao Yun couldn't wait to say.

Two hundred paces is the distance of a strong crossbow, and if it can be so accurate within two hundred paces, at least when the two armies face each other, the enemy army will not be able to stay in the camp safely.

The fire continued to cover forward.

When the farthest arrow tower also fell, Zhao Yun slapped his high-five, his face moving with joy.

I saw him turn his head and say to Feng Yong: "This alone is enough to call it a sharp weapon in the army!" ”

Although Wei Yan didn't speak, the look of surprise on his face couldn't be hidden.

An ordinary catapult, with a dozen pounds of stones, can also be thrown so far.

But the power is definitely insufficient, and a lot of manpower is needed to pull the rope together, and the accuracy is too poor, which is very troublesome.

As it is now, it is not only powerful, but also easier and more convenient to operate than before.

Zhao Yun pointed to the city wall in front of him again and asked, "How far is there?" ”

"Three hundred steps."

"Okay, keep smashing it!"

Zhao Yun commanded happily.

"Old general, if you want to smash the city wall, these stone-throwing carts are only afraid that they will not be powerful enough, not to mention hundreds of them, and they need bigger cars."

Feng Yong explained.

"And bigger?"

Zhao Yun turned his head, a strange light burst out in his eyes, and his gray beard was trembling slightly, showing the excitement of his master.

He looked at the rock-throwing cart below with some disbelief.

The catapult that had to be placed on the base was already one size larger than the usual catapult, but there was a bigger one?

After receiving Feng Yong's affirmative answer, Zhao Yun laughed and pointed to the city wall, "Quick, quick, smash it twice first!" ”

Then he narrowed his eyes again, "There seems to be a white circle on the top of the wall?" ”

"Ahem, exactly. That's the point they use to try to aim on a daily basis. ”

Feng Yong's face was slightly embarrassed.

"Okay, just smash that point."

Zhao Yun nodded, "You smash it first, and then the old man will take a look, whether this thing can pose a threat to the city wall, I have my own judgment." ”

Three hundred steps away, if it can still be so accurate, as long as it falls to the same place for several days or even dozens of days, coupled with the power of such a throwing car, there is really a great possibility of smashing the city wall.

The stone-throwing cart below began to increase the lever and counterweight to the maximum, and even the stones weighed 100 catties (Han catties).

The huge stone with the sound of wind and thunder smashed near the white circle, rumbling like a muffled thunder in the sky.

Zhao Yun built a pergola and saw a puff of smoke and dust rising from the city wall.

Immediately afterward, one after another stones were smashed over, all of them falling in the same approximate position.

"Yay! Yay! Zhao Yun praised again and again, "Those who have the city wall, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, rush the car and crash the car, and most of them can only crash into the city gate." ”

"Now, if this stone-throwing truck can really smash the weak point of the city wall above, and then use a ladder and a flying ladder to enter through the collapse, the city will be broken!"

On a sunny day, the thunder was booming, Zhao Yunji was extremely happy, he asked Feng Yong to order to stop the projectile, and then got off the high platform.

First he walked to the bottom of the dilapidated arrow tower, looked at the arrow tower with only half of the tower left, and then looked at the stones scattered not far away, deep in the earth.

He even bent down and tried to move, only then he straightened up and laughed, "Yes, yes! ”

Everyone behind him laughed in unison.

Seeing Zhao Yun walking towards the city wall, Feng Yong hurriedly persuaded him: "Old general, this wall has been smashed, it's better to be careful." ”

Zhao Yun waved his hand, "I can trust the work of the Nanxiang engineering team." ”

Feng Yong: ......

Zhao Yun stood under the tall city wall, only to see scattered stones falling under the root of the city wall.

He raised his head again and looked at the big white circle, and there was a word written on it: Demolition.

The word "demolition" and its surroundings have many traces of being smashed, and there are even two shallow pits, and small cracks can be faintly seen.

Seeing that everyone looked up at the word "demolition", Feng Tujiao followed slowly, "Old general, it's a bit dangerous here, let's get out of here first......

Zhao Yun ignored him, and after a while, he suddenly sighed, "The old man has been fighting all his life, and he thinks he is familiar with the things of conquest, but he didn't expect that his vision is not as good as that of a junior." ”

Although it was a sigh, the tone was joyful.

It was Wei Yan, whose face became a little ugly - the slap in the face came too quickly, and the taste was not very pleasant.

Zhao Yun pointed to the word "demolition" and asked, "I look at this city wall, has it ever been repaired?" ”

Feng Yong looked at the top, always feeling a little unsafe, and hurriedly replied when he heard this: "Exactly." ”

"It was crushed by the catapult of your engineering battalion, right?"

"Yes."

Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and looked at Feng Yong with great appreciation: "How many stone throwing trucks have you used, how long have you been smashing?" ”

"Uh......" Feng Yong was speechless for a moment, and hurriedly flipped through the notebook that Ah Mei had handed him earlier.

Sure enough, I didn't turn a few pages, but I saw the record inside: "There are 100 units, the longest one is 12 days, and the shortest one is only 7 days." ”

When he saw that there was a note at the bottom, he hurriedly added, "Old general, this wall is built according to the standard of an ordinary city wall. But those that are deliberately reinforced have not been tested. ”

The walls of the Han Dynasty were far less mature than those of later generations, and were basically made of rammed clay.

The difference lies in the thickness of the walls and the solidity of the rammed walls.

It is more special, that is, a very small number of cities will have some bricks.

So now most of the cities can only be younger brothers in front of the counterweight stone-throwing cart!

"That's enough!" Zhao Yun waved his hand arrogantly, "I have never heard of anyone who can break the city with a car thrower, and now you are the first." The rumors of Longguan and Shangtai are true! ”

Taking advantage of everyone's mood to appreciate the traces of the rampant stone throwing trucks, Jiang Wei secretly touched the city wall, and then ran to the side to look at the thickness of the city wall, confirming that this was a real city wall.

Thinking of the sigh of General Zhao's old general, he saw Zhang Wei, Ju Fu, Huo Yi and others in the Lieutenant's Mansion of Huqiang all looked unsurprised.

He finally couldn't help but look at Feng Yong with a horrified gaze.

Feng Junhou trained the army well, used the soldiers well, and the soldiers under his command were good at using their lives.

If it is a siege that is invincible, who would dare to stop the famous generals in the world?

Under repeated praise, Zhao Yun directly took Feng Yong's hand and asked him to walk side by side with him, returning to the side of the stone-throwing truck.

The soldiers had no instructions for the next step, and they all lined up in a straight line.

If it was another time, Zhao Yun would have to take a few more glances at these soldiers.

It's just that at this time, his eyes have long been attracted by the stone throwing car.

He walked around the car, like a child with a favorite toy, touching east and west, and then looking up again, comparing the height, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

"Such sharp weapons, with such soldiers and craftsmen, should indeed be." Zhao Yun nodded, "If it's an ordinary soldier craftsman, what can you do?" ”

Feng Yong shook his head: "it." Even if the car is dismantled and made by other craftsmen, the power will be reduced, and there are rules for how the car is operated. ”

"The same car in the hands of the engineering battalion is very different from the power in the hands of others."

The production and operation of counterweight rubbish trucks require certain basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, geometry and so on.

Ordinary craftsmen can indeed make a counterweight rubble with a prototype of the stone throwing car, but they certainly don't know why they want to do it.

How could Feng Yong let this kind of thing wander out completely?

As for the stone operation, it is more complicated.

A soldier who is not only literate but also able to read and understand the terminology of the manual...... 100 percent can only come from the engineering battalion.

"This thing is also the important weapon of the country!" Zhao Yun patted the stone-throwing cart, and then looked at those soldiers, "The camp led by Feng Junhou is really a strong army of the Han Dynasty!" ”

When the soldiers heard the words of General Dahan Zhengxi, their faces were about to glow.

As for Wei Yan, his face was much more exciting.
