Chapter 530: Fighting the enemy in a single boat

Su You raised his hand to stop: "Deputy Envoy Zhou is serious, Su You has never taken himself seriously, and you don't take me too seriously." The deputy envoy of the king is known in anticipation of the enemy, and he is famous in the court, and I believe him. ”

"I am the patrol officer personally ordered by His Majesty, and there is no reason to escape. Besides, the situation is urgent and cannot be handled. ”

"When my ship is at full speed, it is not like your blessed ship, let the sergeants of your ship get on my great ship. Little Seventh Brother, get ready to set sail! Hachiro, first-class combat readiness! ”

The ship is of the Meishan type, but it can accommodate hundreds of people when fully loaded, and only six people are needed to control it.

As soon as Su You gave the order, more than a dozen soldiers and polytechnic teams on the ship immediately took action, and soon Zhou Yongqing and Wang Guangzu discovered that the wooden pillars on both sides of the ship, and the accessories on both sides of the ship, were quickly turned into ballistas.

Then next to each ballista, three men stood, a rattan box, which was opened, and inside were ten spindle-shaped porcelain vases.

There is a small hole in the head of the porcelain bottle, and at the small hole is a threaded copper ring.

The group began to hand out a small candle-like pillar with a threaded copper tube on the head of the pillar and a red low conical head.

One of the members of the group took an iron ring from his waist, which was covered with various key-like tools, took out one of them, and began to place the small pillar into the porcelain vase, carefully screwing it tight.

The whole process was fast and silent, and before the two of them had all boarded the ship, Chongyi came over and stood up: "Report, the ballista is ready!" Wait for instructions! ”

Then Zhang Qi also came over: "Report!" Ready to drive, wait for instructions. ”

Wang Guangzu was in a hurry, and rushed to the stern of the boat to greet his soldiers, which was dragging his feet.

Su You asked Chongyi, "What about the thunderbolt?" ”

Chong Yi looked stubborn: "On the Xiongzhou River, the ballista can achieve full coverage, and there is no need to leak the secret of the thunderbolt to the Liao people!" ”

Su You nodded: "Okay, with this sentence, I will give you a credit, from now on, you will take over the command of the ship, and in terms of military affairs, I only have the right to suggest, not the right to decide." ”

Chongyi slammed his fist on his right chest: "I will not disgrace my life!" ”

After saying that, he turned around.

At this time, the sergeant finally finished getting on the boat, and Su You said to Zhang Qi: "Full sail, Xiongzhou!" ”

The sailors shook the wheels, the schooner was raised to the top of the mast, and then the direction was adjusted, and the hull was suddenly pulled obliquely by the sail several degrees, and the speed became faster and faster, until finally it was like a galloping horse.

The detection site was originally in the territory of Xiongzhou, and there were almost no boats on the new river channel, and the Meishan type was smooth sailing, and it opened a posture that the six relatives did not recognize, and flew towards the destination with great momentum.

Wang Guangzu and Zhou Yongqing glanced at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

This is an artifact that can echo a territory of 400 miles in one day! That's faster than our sentry ship!

In less than half an hour, the Meishan type sailed through Xiongzhou and came to a ferry port in the east of Xiongzhou.

This was originally the Juma River Basin, which was originally the boundary river, but now it has become part of the Yellow River.

On the opposite bank, a large group of men and horses were camping, and many sappers were building pontoon bridges and posing as if they were ready to cross the river.

Wang Guangzu looked at the banner of the troops: "Xiao Xi, Lin Ya of the Liao Kingdom, is also an old opponent of both civil and military affairs." ”

Zhou Yongqing was extremely resentful: "It's this person, the soldier is bloodless, and I lost hundreds of miles of land in the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

There is a reason why Zhou Yongqing is so angry.

In the last years of Renzong, the Liao people fished in the Jiehe River, crossed the border to cut willows, and clashed with the Song people.

The Liao State sent Xiao Xi to impose military oppression on Hebei while making an impudent demand to the Song court for the cession of land.

The Song Dynasty was in the weak position of the war with the Tangut people, and the attitude was naturally not tough, and Song Renzong re-demarcated the boundary of Shuozhou with the Liao Dynasty on the grounds of "peace for many years, not wanting to compete", and the northern part of Shuozhou was ceded to the area that originally belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and the national border was moved from the south of the Liufan Mountains to the northern foot of the Huangwei Mountain.

At that time, he served as the envoy of the exchange of land cession documents, and the Wenchen was Han Jin, a military minister, and Zhou Yongqing was originally designated by the imperial court.

Zhou Yongqing was angry and resolutely opposed this approach: "The territory should not be taken lightly by people, and the duty is unwilling." ”

However, under the control of the lord and faction, the imperial court still insisted on going its own way.

Zhou Yongqing went to the chapter again to try to state the stakes, but it was still not accepted, and the court demanded that he must carry out the order.

Zhou Yongqing was angry, and on the grounds that his mother was sick, he threw away his official hat and returned to his hometown to become a farmer and farm.

After this incident passed, Zhou Yongqing was reappointed, successively served as the jurisdiction of Gaoyang Guan, Dingzhou, Jingyuan Road, and finally went to Hebei.

Resolutely "not to fight the enemy with the ground", this is the martial man's creed in Zhou Yongqing's heart.

Su You also knew about this, and patted his arm: "Deputy envoy, rest assured, there is nothing the Liao people can do this time." ”

Zhou Yongqing looked at the opponent's 40,000-strong army: "Just rely on serving this ship, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat 40,000 Khitan iron cavalry." ”

Su You laughed: "What is the Iron Horse?" Can I get into the water? ”

Wang Guangzu also laughed: "Xiao Xi was originally bluffing, the Liao army was dispatched, more than 150,000, less than 70,000, 40,000 am afraid that Xiao Xi can privately mobilize the largest military strength, this person knows that my Hebei is affected by the disaster, and came to blackmail the benefits, and it is definitely not the idea of the Khitan court!" ”

Su You nodded: "What you see is slightly the same, so Deputy Envoy Wang knows how to do it?" ”

Wang Guangzu said with a smile: "All the sergeants are hidden, and they are all in the house, so that the Khitans can see our ship clearly." ”

Wang Guangzu's son Wang Xiang also came over and stood with Chongyi.

Seeing that Su You was speechless: "Open the window, take a hundred steps to the shore, get on the ballista, and get ready for launch!" ”

Zhang Qi swung the steering gear, the sailors released the brakes of the sail wheel, and the sail fell instantly under the action of gravity.

The sailboat immediately stalled, then made a 180-degree turn, the bow turned upstream, the inertia was counteracted by the current, and then the anchor came to a steady stop.

"Good!" Chongyi didn't know that Zhang Qi had this hand, and immediately applauded, which won him too much time to adjust the angle of the ballista.

The progress of the project on the other side was disrupted by the arrival of the Meishan type, and the Liao people reacted very quickly, the horn sounded, and the cavalry escorted the sappers to retreat, leaving a place of wood.

Soon, a general in armor appeared on the shore, waved his hand, and a trumpet flag was erected beside him, which was a signal to send an envoy.

Su You said to Zhang Qi: "Little Seventh Brother, go and fetch my court clothes." ”

Zhang Qi was anxious: "Young master! ”

Zhou Yongqing also said urgently: "Engong, you can't do it." ”

Su You smiled: "What's wrong? With this ship, no matter what Xiao Xi's strategic intentions are, it is no longer possible, and the pontoon bridge is a joke in front of our ballistas. ”

After speaking, he looked at the Liao State camp opposite: "They are too careless, even if they let it bloom, it is not a difficult matter." ”

Chongyi said, "Teacher, I'll accompany you." ”

Sun Neng and Wang Xiang snatched it out and said in unison: "I, I'll go with you!" ”

Su You said to Wang Zhou's two deputy envoys: "Xiao Xi is the privy council of the Liao Dynasty, your level is not as good, if you know that I am here and can't shrink, first, you will lose the face of the Great Song Dynasty, and second, you can use it as an excuse in the future." ”

"I still have a position on my body, the vice president of the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty, but I am an enemy of Xiao Linya. So this thing is not like me and the two of you are fighting for merit, and the arrow is on the string, and I have to make an ear. ”

After speaking, he smiled at Wang Xiang and Sun Neng: "It's really a gatekeeper, just the two of you!" Let's go to Liaoying for a walk! ”

A small boat, sending Su You and the three of them to sail to the shore, Wang Guangzu looked at the back of Su You's purple robe, and said to Zhou Yongqing: "Old Zhou, your life is hard, you leave Weizhou one term late, and the credit for breaking the forgiveness of Zuo will fall on you if you don't do it!" Su Shizhi has such courage, even if he is a commander under his hands, he will be up! ”

Zhou Yongqing was angry: "I blame you!" didn't stop Engong, and secretly instigated, if you don't expect it, don't blame me for not recognizing your friendship for so many years, brother! ”

Wang Guangzu grinned: "Don't worry, Lao Tzu's own son is still with the servant." That Xiao Xi is also a figure with a head and a face, he can still cut it with one knife if you and I go forward, Su Shi is out of the horse, and his old boy will never dare to act rashly! ”
