Verse 31 is a wonderful scene

Monsters are giant cars.

The front of the car is carved with the head of a giant beast, painted in colorful colors, and two eyes the size of a bucket are used as two cannon holes on the upper floor of the car; The mouth opened, and the middle sergeant was in the mouth, and the crossbow bolts shot out of the mouth; The next layer is under the jaw of the giant beast, with six spears and two hooks as whiskers, and the strong men with hook spears inside are all wearing iron armor. The surroundings of the car are nailed with thick mushroom nails, and human hair is padded inside, and the inner layer of hair is covered with cotton paper, so the guns and arrows must not be injured. The back of the car was four balanced, driving four horses. There was a small building on the beast's forehead in the car, and there was a man standing in it, holding a command flag, which was the eyes and ears of the whole army. The hook spear in the lower layer, the crossbow in the middle layer, and the two fire guns in the upper layer are very advantageous. The name of the gun is called "Falling Box Lianzhu Gong". There is a bronze thorn on it, which can hold 20 guns of gunpowder and 20 pieces of lead. However, the gunpowder and lead in the copper pot were added to the sufficient, and the gunpowder in the gun gate below was ignited, and the gunpowder and lead in the copper pot could fall into the box by themselves, slip into the gun pipe, and bombard outward, without annoying loading, and the sound of guns was endless, until the twenty guns were finished. If twenty guns are not enough, just add gunpowder and lead to the copper pipe, even if there are thousands of sounds, they will be issued one after another. It is more anti-hot frying of the gun, and a large kettle is prepared under the gun, and it is watered frequently. The guns could shoot a hundred paces away, and they all came out of the eye sockets of the giant beast. There were four more wheels behind the car, and the stones flew out of the car aggressively. The size of the stones varies, the small ones fly far, the big ones fly close, and there are also a hundred steps to go. Each car had nineteen people: two people with guns on the upper floor, six people with crossbows on the middle floor, eight people with hook spears on the lower floor, two people on foot behind the car, and one person in the building to hold the flag. Sergeants don't need to practice, they can just pluck their fingers. As long as the advance and retreat are orderly, the car starts, and it is clearly a land fox, and it has the power of thunder and lightning, and the trend of pouring the sea and discharging the mountains......

Such a huge thing rushed down from the narrow mountain road, blocking the entire mountain road, both sides of the mountain road are high mountains, although there are high and low, but even the low one is not something that ordinary people can jump up, the officers and soldiers gather together to attack, and the light work may not be able to squeeze past the surrounding people and jump to the high place on the side of the road, not to mention that there is no time to react, what can I do if I don't die?

The three strange cars rushed down the mountain, and when they reached the relatively flat road, there was undoubtedly more room to play, and they chased after the frightened officers and soldiers who fled and ran over viciously......

How can a man outrun a carriage that sped down from a mountain......

There was another ghost crying wolf, and three bloody alleys appeared on the road in an instant, chasing the officers and soldiers fiercely and extending past...... The officers and men had no choice but to flee into the mountains.......

In the blink of an eye, most of the thousands of soldiers and bandits were lost, and the beautiful results that had been achieved by hundreds of people who had fought bravely and suffered hundreds of casualties were all lost. At this point, although the official still has the advantage of troops, the collapse is only concerned with fleeing for his life, and the defeat is certain.......

The civil official-like soldier and horse supervisor who supervised the war under the mountain was originally a successful person with Zhizhu in his hands, but in a blink of an eye, he became terrified......

He watched his subordinate officers and soldiers fall from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain like a rapidly lodging wheat wave under the impact of a strange car, and became a miserable corpse or even meat mud, and a dozen officers and generals besieging the giant man were no better, and they were besieging and killing the king of thieves. How can you still care about the ruthless continue to besiege and kill the two giants who have no power to fight back, and the giants regained their majesty and the bandits shouted in groups of anti-sieges, frightened one by one and all dragged knives and guns to wipe their heads and ran, desperately fled down the mountain, but were swept down by the two giants who strode on the stick and knocked down a few, and the six or seven generals who were lucky enough to run fast escaped the pursuit, and jumped on the war horse led by the pro-soldiers at the foot of the mountain in time, and even didn't care about beckoning the pro-soldiers to run quickly, and fled in a hurry. The generals' own soldiers who couldn't run also fell under the backlash of the bandits......

It's miserable......

This kind of eunuch seems to be unusual, quite bold, and has not been frightened to the point of losing his soul by being so frightened...... Of course, maybe it was scarelessness......

Zhao Yue, who was quietly watching the battle, expected that the bandits would have a backhand, but he didn't expect that this bandit would be able to play such a move, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw such an amazing power.

He was in vain, looking at the wanton strange car, his eyes lit up, this bandit actually has a gunpowder weapon like a serial cannon?

Although he saw that the front of the strange car was shrouded in smoke from the continuous production of the gunpowder, the gunpowder used was undoubtedly black powder with smoke drawbacks, and the pungent smell of gunpowder from the wind could also tell that it was sulfur-containing black powder, and it was immature, and it did not achieve the power effect of the best ratio of black powder, but this was enough to make him interested......

This black powder recipe is much more sophisticated than that made by the Song Dynasty, who was proficient in this way. The one made by the Song Dynasty was a slightly louder and terrifying artillery battle......

Indigenous, who can innovate black powder to this extent, is already the absolute top gunpowder talent in this era. Before Zhao Yue first focused on recruiting one of the heroes of Liangshan, Lei Lingzhen, before joining the pirate empire and learning the new technology beyond the era, his attainments in black powder were roughly at this level, slightly stronger, but not much stronger.

Also interesting is this strange car..... The inventor is at least a craftsman with imagination and innovation......

This undoubtedly tickled Zhao Yue's itch.

His gaze shifted from the strange car to the third giant man who appeared among the bandits.

It was a foreign race, Zhao Yue roughly concluded at a glance that he was a native of the Western Regions, similar to the race in Xinjiang in later generations, black hair, but curly gray eyes, and the facial contour was even more different from that of the Han people in the Central Plains, with sharp edges and corners, very white skin, and a tall and majestic body, although it was not as good as the two giant Han thieves, but it was also one meter nine, and at this moment, wielding a big knife led some minions to chase and kill the officers and soldiers who scattered and fled to the mountains and forests beside the road, and shouted, undoubtedly guiding and commanding one of the chariots to kill the officers and soldiers in the prison......

At this time, there were hundreds of officers and soldiers around the prisoner who were not scared away, obviously cronies of the guards, more than 20 cavalry, and the rest were more elite infantry who looked at it.

The strange car roared and turned to rush, just the fire guns that kept shooting were enough to attack and kill people from a distance, and they were scary enough, but this commander could control his subordinates with Wen Chongwu's bandit-like officers and soldiers did have some outstanding features, and he was very panicked but he was not so frightened that he immediately fled, but shouted a few words, and took his own soldiers to avoid the impact route of the strange car first......

The strange car quickly rushed to the side of the capital eunuch under the power of four horses, and the fire gun and the bow and crossbow fired a salvo, but the infantry guards of the capital prison were covered with shields, the gunpowder was not good, and the lead from the fire bolt was not strong enough, so it could not be a strong military shield, and the same crossbow arrows only hit the shield crackling loudly, and the impact made the shield soldier's body shake uncomfortably, but he couldn't penetrate the shield for a while.....

Then, Zhao Yue saw a wonderful scene he admired:

The shield soldiers held a huge shield that was nearly a person high, and resisted the attack with the strength of two people, and the strange car that was rushing towards it quickly intercepted from the side and front, and the officers and soldiers hiding behind the shield array carried a relatively large stone in their hands, and this kind of head-sized stone was abundant on the side of the mountain road here, and it could be taken everywhere...... Push near the strange car, bend down and swing between your crossed legs, and throw the stone under or in front of the strange car........

The wheels of the strange car are all made of whole logs, the same size as the round and repaired, and the middle hole is pierced through the thick solid wood axle to become a wheel, which is half a foot thick and at least sixty or seventy centimeters in diameter, this kind of solid wheel is very heavy, far less light than the usual spoked carriage wheels, but the same wood is many times stronger than the spoked wheels, there are six pairs on the bottom side of the car, which can easily withstand the weight of the strange car and the bad mountain road conditions here, and will not be as easy to break as the weak spoked wheels......

But such a seemingly impeccable design of the strange car was easily cracked and destroyed by the big stones on the heads thrown by the officers and soldiers under the car and everywhere.

The firebolts and crossbow arrows of the strange car could not stop the giant shield from approaching; The four mountain wheels behind the car stirred up the stones on the ground to fly out like raindrops, and the attack power was amazing, but it couldn't hit the side front; The officers and soldiers were not too close to the strange car, and the spear hook hand in the car could only watch the officers and soldiers who were on guard and could not hurt the officers and soldiers who were approaching, and the strange car ran over the stones in the rapid running, but it could not crush such a big and hard thing....... The four horses were all overturned by the huge rollover force brought by the huge car. If this is the case, what resistance can the people in the car have? Suddenly overturned, who in the car can do anything? Those who threw out of the car and smashed into the car screamed in amazement..... You can imagine the scene of a minibus suddenly overturning while it is running.......

The strange car is very solid, and it didn't fall apart if it overturned like this, but the car was finished, and the people who turned around were either dead or injured....... The officers and soldiers immediately rushed forward, stabbing and stabbing at each other, and the poor domestic and the bandits who threw out the car had no power to fight back, and one by one they were still in pain and could not get up, and they died one after another under the murderous revenge and massacre of the officers and soldiers at a loss of mind......

Having cracked the pursuit of such a terrifying and invincible monster so easily, this group of officers and soldiers and bandits were undoubtedly as excited as a booster, and the howl like a wolf suddenly broke out...... Becoming more and more ferocious against the upside-down bandits......

The capital eunuch who was hiding behind the horse in the giant shield circle slowly stood up at this time, admired the huge strange car that overturned and destroyed, and watched the thieves inside and outside the car being wantonly slaughtered and tortured by his subordinates...... The look of horror on his face was gone, replaced by the habitual arrogance of squinting and brushing his beard......

Zhao Yue also admitted that this literati eunuch did have the courage and quickness rarely seen among Song officials.

Yang Yizhong was dumbfounded, and his mouth was subconsciously surprised.

The conceited and bold, who has always refused to easily convince people, and even more unwilling to praise people, was also shocked, and couldn't help scolding: "This dog official really has two hits, I didn't expect ......."

The silly boy Kui San was obviously shocked by the terrifying lethality of the strange car just now, his eyes were round and round, and his face was nervous......

He is brave, he is bold and not afraid of death, he is stupid, but he has a sensitivity to danger that ordinary people can hardly reach, and he also knows to be afraid of this kind of impact that non-human beings can resist....... The big hand just now subconsciously grasped the treasure knife, because of nervousness, it seemed that a strange car rushed towards him, and he pulled out the knife and slashed it as soon as possible....... The other hand gripped the horse's reins and his legs clamped the horse....... Subconsciously preparing for the strange car to rush, he immediately circled the horse and dodged as fast as possible......

Look at this side of the battlefield.

The arrogance of the eunuch is obviously superfluous at this moment, untimely and ridiculous.

The officers and soldiers have been defeated, and the remaining hundreds of officers and soldiers have fled into the mountains and wilderness, gradually disappearing, and even if they know that the strange cars have all been destroyed by the master's clever plan, there is nothing invincible and terrible, they will not come back to continue the battle...... The courage is broken, the shock is undecided, the courage is lost, and the desire to make a fortune in the thief's nest cannot resist the retreat caused by the fear of death.....

There are only these 108 soldiers around the capital eunuch, although they are more brave and elite, and they are more loyal, but they are faced with the many red-eyed bandits who turned their heads and pounced.......

fled, could only restrain his pride, and quickly got on the horse and fled in a hurry......

The sword wielded by the capital eunuch is nothing more than a toy that slashes the void, and can only command his subordinates to attack or escape, and cannot kill the enemy, he does not know martial arts, and the sword is only because of the needs and decorations of the military attaché's status. If there is no one to protect him, any thief can hack him to death.

This is where the disadvantages of civilian leadership of the military lie.

If one sits in the rear and acts as the commander-in-chief of the battle, even if he is proficient in military affairs, he cannot keep abreast of the situation that will change at any time on the battlefield, and the orders he gives are just lagging behind and the blind command of wishful thinking, which will only increase the trouble and risk of the front-line officers and men in combat, and can only make the front-line fall into passivity and cause many casualties in vain. If you have the courage to go to the battlefield in person, but you don't have the ability to go to the front line to lead the army to rush and kill, you can only shrink back as a commander, and you need to draw heavy troops to protect it, which has weakened the strength of the troops, and it is also a weakness..... Undefeated?

But no matter how many disadvantages there are in governing the military with literature, this kind of national policy, the Great Song Dynasty will not waver at all, not only in the administration everywhere with the civil pressure of the military, in the specific military leadership arrangements, but also hate to be all literati at all levels of generals, if you can control it at all levels, you don't have to worry about the rude, greedy, unruly and impulsive martial arts rebellion and seizure of power, but unfortunately can't, there are too few scholars who have the courage to be generals, and even fewer scholars who are willing to endure hardships with literature and martial arts, and there are even fewer literati who are proficient in military affairs and can lead the army to fight....... Sitting leisurely in the hall, drinking fine wine, hugging fragrant and knowledgeable beauties, scolding Fang Xuan, bragging and boasting empty talk, safety is not hard and not responsible..... How good is that. After reading a belly of books hard, in order to enjoy the glory, wealth, scenery, and pleasure, he was lucky, and finally became an official, and became a big official, and a fool would raise his head to be an angry military attaché......

Despite this national situation, the Song Dynasty still tried to arrange as many so-called literati who were knowledgeable, well-educated, and well-educated, more loyal, patriotic, and wiser as military attachés, from the highest military governor of the Central Committee - Privy Council officials and privy envoys, down to the generals at all levels...... The soldiers and horses who want to lead troops to fight in the state capitals are not all martial artists.

This is obviously how the Wen Du Eunuch in front of him came.

However, most of his military positions were not voluntary, or he was forced to change his military career because he had no hope of promotion, and it was easy to rise in rank and gain greater power benefits, or he was temporarily excessive, serving as a military attache to lead the troops to understand some military and soldiers, and he was more capable of governing the military with civilians, and then transferred back to civilian officials.

Looking at the embarrassed and shameful appearance of this very anxious and wise capital prisoner who fled in panic and haste, Yang Yizhong sighed, and he didn't know what he sighed.

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "Yizhong, there are very few people like your father who can lead the army with a tattoo essence and be good at fighting. There have been very few such examples since ancient times. There is a specialization in the art industry, and this is not something that is said casually. Besides, your father is not weak, he can also ride a horse and wield a sword to kill the enemy, in fact, he has the ability of a martial artist. As for this one"

He looked at the capital prisoner who left off the infantry and fled on Pegasus, and sneered: "A little courage and quick wisdom are just small cleverness and small ability, and it will not help in big things." The conceited wisdom of the scholars and doctors is full of wisdom and wisdom to govern the country and unify the army, and the barbarians are like the most exquisite, gorgeous and mysterious paintings, which are paper in the end, and they will be destroyed if they are stabbed a little, and they will be finished under the simplest violence of the barbarians, who have no wisdom and no great wisdom. Even the barbarians didn't have to attack and kill violently, and the scholars and doctors were frightened. What's more, they are all desperately corrupting, fighting for power, enjoying pleasure, and losing the country to death. Great Song Dynasty.... It's just that hehe, the gods can't save it from destruction. Either way, a new era is dawning. ”
