"Alright, stop talking nonsense!" Zu Dashou said impatiently: "Hurry up and sleep." ”

"Dad, it's too cold to sleep." Zu Kefa complained: "Dad, let's have a good life, let's see which drama." However, it was okay to see Wei Bao's soldiers and horses being defeated by Jiannu, and it was nothing to suffer a little freezing. ”

In fact, these people are not too cold, the senior generals are not wearing thick fur, many of them have white tiger skins, which are very warm, and fox skins and wolf skins are even more basic.

And outsiders are frost-resistant, and they are used to it.

Besides, Wei Bao didn't mean to be mean to them on the issue of accommodation, originally Baojun's accommodation was also like this, hundreds of people were crowded in a small cabin, and it was thankful that there was a flat place on the ship.

It's that these generals of Jiliao and Liaodong are used to enjoying it usually, and they are not used to crowding people, otherwise a few large cabins can accommodate everyone.

Also, this ship is an ordinary big ship, which is usually used for the training of recruits.

Except for President Wei's cabin, there are also a few adults' cabins, and the others are undecorated.

In order not to let these spectators think that the treasure army is too well-equipped.

"It's nothing cold at all, the key is hunger, these people are really bad, just give a nest head, and Lao Tzu threw it away without eating." A general beside Zu Dashou said.

"Lao Tzu took a bite, it was harder than a stone, and he couldn't bite it at all, this is going to starve us to death! I don't know how many days Wei Bao and his people will fight, anyway, I'll watch it for a day, if I can't finish it in a day, no matter what the hell it looks like, Lao Tzu won't watch it. Another general said: "I kind of understand, Wei Bao is weird and doesn't give us anything to eat, so that we can't stand it!" They all left, and when the time came, he would get a few heads to act as the heads of Jiannu, so that he could get by. ”

Hearing this man say this, many people think it makes sense.

But some people disagree, "Even if we all leave, we can leave a few people to watch, fight and fake, kill how many slaves, in front of everyone's eyes, we can't do fake." Besides, we are not without meticulous work on the Jiannu side. ”

"Yes, paper can't hold the fire, and the battle record can't be faked." If someone agrees, there will be more people.

At least everyone won't think that someone as smart as Wei Bao would be so stupid, thinking that just by not giving everyone something to eat, they can force everyone watching the battle away.

"Dad, do you think Wei Bao is looking for death? It's not that he hasn't touched Jiannu, it's impossible not to know how powerful Jiannu is, 2,000 people killed Jiannu's army, and took 1,000 Jiannu heads, isn't this looking for death? Zu Kefa couldn't help but say to Zu Dashou: "Dad, do you think Wei Bao will communicate with Jiannu to make a show?" ”

In fact, Zu Dashou also has this idea, and many people have this idea.

However, this possibility is less difficult than the falsification of the record.

Because Wei Bao's soldiers and horses have never stopped fighting against Jiannu!

How can it be faked when there is a war going on both sides?

If this can also be faked, then Jiannu and Wei Bao are too good at acting.

And it's taking thousands of lives to act, impossible.

"Stop arguing, you'll know when you see it tomorrow." Zu Dashou didn't have a good airway.

Zu Kefa replied sullenly, thinking about it, it is true to fight and fake, how to fight, don't you understand it after watching it.

Zu Kefa hated and wrapped the fox fur coat on his body, still shivering with cold.

Thinking of Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia's hotbed soft tent gentle township, his hatred is dripping blood.

Wu Xuexia returned to the cabin and told Wu Xiang that Zu Dashou refused to come.

Wu Xiang sighed, knowing that his relationship with his ancestral family had actually been estranged, and there was a big and irreparable rift, and he couldn't help but be even more worried about the war between Wei Bao and Jiannu.

If Wei Bao does not achieve the predetermined goal in this battle, not only the Wei family will be able to gain a foothold in Liaoxi in the future, but even the Wu family may be difficult to gain a foothold in Liaoxi.

By the time Wu Xuexia returned to Wei Bao's cabin, Wei Bao had already slept.

Wei Bao has washed his face and feet under the service of the beautiful secretaries.

But Wei Bao didn't fall asleep, and secretly glanced at Wu Xuexia.

Wei Bao didn't need to ask to know that it was impossible for Zu Dashou to go to Wu Xiang's cabin, so he couldn't help but say, "Don't think about it, sleep, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow." ”

"Well, I can't sleep a little, I'm worried." Wu Xuexia said softly.

"Worried about what?" Wei Bao didn't care, "The treasure army will win!" ”

Wu Xuexia hummed softly, not daring to say anything more, for fear that she would say something depressing again, for fear of making her husband unhappy,

After freshening up, Wu Xuexia lay down gently beside Wei Bao.

Wei Bao gently hugged Wu Xuexia, and it was difficult to calm down.

I haven't spent the night at sea for a long time, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it, and in addition, Wei Bao's worries are no less than Wu Xuexia's.

The warmer the cabin, the more comfortable the environment, the more one can imagine the cold outside, the cold of failure.

Wei Bao suddenly found that he had lost his original intention.

I think that at the beginning, when I was just reborn and crossed, I had the idea of leaving Weijiazhuang at any time, taking a few people out to be willows, mixing in the Liaodong area, or running to North Korea to mingle.

Now that it is impossible, having obtained so many things within the Ming Dynasty, Wei Bao is more and more afraid of failure.

Fear of losing what was original.

said that he was the vanguard of reform, but Wei Bao knew that he was actually a member of the big landlord class, and he was afraid that he would not make much progress in the capitalist system for a long time, and then live a comfortable life at ease, and slowly assimilated by the big landlord class, and even one day became the same as Sun Chengzong, becoming an ordinary defender of imperial power.

Because the ships of the Baojun this time were all loaded with steam engines, they traveled very fast.

A group of cold-weapon generals had no idea about this speed advantage at sea.

But Sun Chengzong knew very well that if all Wei Bao's warships had this kind of speed, with the same firepower, the sailors of the Ming army could only be beaten!

Sun Chengzong even regretted that Jiannu did not have a sailor, otherwise he would definitely be beaten by Wei Bao's fleet.

In the early hours of the morning, Sun Chengzong was about to fall asleep in a daze, and was awakened by the sound of the earth-shattering sound.

The sound came from a long distance, otherwise it was even more alarming.

But now it's shocking.

This is a different kind of sound from the explosion of firecrackers.

Everyone rushed to the deck to see what was going on.

There are also a lot of people sleeping on the deck, all of them struggle to get up, such a cold day, blowing the sea breeze on the deck for a night, no matter how good the body is, it is a little unbearable.

Zu Dashou and Zu Kefa supported each other and struggled to stand up.

Wu Xiang, Gao Di, the three great eunuchs, and a few Liaoxi generals who had a good relationship with the Wu family's Wei family, as well as Sun Chengzong, watched through the round window of the cabin in the cabin.

Wei Bao also got up in his clothes under the service of Wu Xuexia and several beautiful secretaries, stood by the window, and watched while roasting the fire.

Madman Tan ordered the president's guard, got up, and had already launched an attack since four o'clock last night!

And didn't wait until the wee hours of the morning.

After receiving the news, more than a dozen Baojun warships set off from the Weijiazhuang Naval Base, entered the mouth of the Sancha River, and then entered the Hunhe River.

Along the river there are Jiannu watchmen.

But Jiannu did not have a sailor, only the treasure army, so Jiannu had no way to go back and forth with the ships of the treasure army.

It didn't arouse vigilance, but just kept a close eye to prevent the treasure army from letting people down or picking them up.

As soon as the Baojun warship was parked on the riverbank, it let the hot air balloon rise into the air and drove away the small group of Jiannu light cavalry on the shore with sporadic artillery bombardment.

A platoon of artillery passed, frightening Jiannu who did not dare to approach.

It took half an hour for more than a dozen hot air balloons to rise to the highest point, and then used grenadiers to fire shells at Shenyang City at high altitude.

The hot air balloon is connected to a rope, the rope is tied to the boat, the wind direction is very good, the rope is at a forty-five degree angle, the angle is perfect, if it is a little worse, I am afraid it will be difficult to accurately hit the cannonball into Shenyang City.

Wei Bao looked at the telescope, his telescope was the best, farthest, and most accurate telescope, and he could only see a few miles on the shore, and he couldn't see the situation at the head of Shenyang City.

However, it is guessed that Shenyang City should have been in chaos, and thick smoke can be seen rising.

"If you want to say that the treasure army is powerful, what kind of road is this? Can you actually let the ball fly into the sky and hit Jiannu from the sky? No wonder Wei Bao had the courage to attack Jiannu. ”

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and it was a spectacle.

Although they were eye-catching, the hot air balloons flying in the sky were faintly visible.

"Master Overseer, Wei Bao's people are so powerful, they can actually fire cannons in the sky." Wan Youfu whispered to Sun Chengzong.

At this time, Wan Youfu and Yuan Chonghuan, who came with Sun Chengzong, had already entered Sun Chengzong's cabin and watched from the window with Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong nodded: "Wei Bao's people are really powerful, and they can often come up with these new tricks. ”

"The ball can go to the sky, and it can shoot cannons in the sky, but even if he kills Jiannu, he can't cut off Jiannu's head." Yuan Chonghuan was puzzled.

"Wei Bao must still have a backhand, let us watch the battle this time, it is estimated that Wei Bao is unwilling, because of the gambling contract with the Governor, I have long heard that the treasure army is magical, and today I have seen the artillery power of the treasure army, and I know how far behind the armament of our border army has been." Wan Youfu sighed: "Today, I should really call all the adults involved in the production of firearms in the Governor's Mansion to take a look." ”

"You draw a picture and go back and describe it to them in detail, and it's the same." Sun Chengzong also regretted a little that he didn't call the master craftsmen to watch the battle.

Sun Chengzong thought that if he also mastered this technique, he could come over and fire a few cannons when he wanted to run to Jiannu's lair, which would be beautiful.

This is completely free of casualties to be able to kill and injure Jiannu, even if you can't cut Jiannu's head to ask for credit, knowing that killing Jiannu is also very beneficial to the Ming court.

But Sun Chengzong didn't know how expensive and scrapped these shells were for Wei Bao's army.

With the current inferior military industry of the Bao Army, it is very good that one of the four shells is qualified.

And they are all handmade shells, and the price is very high.

Because of the short preparation time for launch, the grenadiers of the Baojun were widely used as self-defense firearms in the command headquarters.

The warhead weighs about 800 grams, has a range of 300 meters, a rate of fire of two to three rounds / min, and a radius of about 5 meters.

The soldiers of the treasure army opened fire in the sky, and it was impossible to accurately hit the target.

Madman Tan ordered that as long as he could hit Shenyang City, it would be fine.

Being able to hit the city wall also counts.

Don't fight outside the city anyway.

Originally, the main purpose of throwing grenadier shells was to scare and disturb Jiannu.

In addition to firing special grenades, the grenadiers of the Baojun can also fire standard grenades.

In this battle, grenades were mainly fired.

It is more difficult to shoot a grenade from the sky.

There are also disadvantages with grenades, it is difficult to grasp the release time.

At this time, it is necessary to install a propellant bowl, and because the grenade is used as a shell, the breath-holding is not good.

The firing range at this time was about 200 meters.

Although Madman Tan gave the order to enter the city of Shenyang, most of the shells fell outside the city.

The grenadier of the treasure army was essentially a light mortar.

Its main features are a large angle of fire, a curved trajectory and a short range.

It is mainly used to kill and injure the enemy hiding behind fortifications and concealments or to kill and injure the enemy's living force at a long distance, its killing effect is good, it is easy to operate, and can be accompanied by a single soldier to move with the first-line infantry to support the first-line infantry.

It is highly concealed due to its individual portability and the ability to launch behind obstacles. The grenadiers are carried by special ammunition bags, one of which can carry eight grenades, and a two-person grenadier group of 16.

The grenadier range is between a grenade and a bazooka.

When firing, the shooter pulls the firing lever first, and then the ammunition is loaded by the ammunition hand from the barrel mouth to complete the installation of the ammunition. Hold the canister with the left hand, turn the handle according to the target distance until the adjustment lever reaches the corresponding length, the shooter takes a rough aim through the aiming line, pulls the belt on the firing machine, and fires the bottom of the explosive to shoot the grenade out.

Since the propellant at the bottom has not changed, the angle of the grenadier is adjusted to determine the firing distance and aim at the target, so only an experienced grenadier can accurately hit the target.

If you don't hear it, you can't hit it, it's really all about faith.

In later generations, mortars of the same caliber in the world generally exceeded at least 6 kg, and the grenadier of the Baojun army was less than 3 kg.

Much lighter than a rifle, making it ideal for individual carrying.

This also has something to do with the quality of steel in this era.

At this time, the use of this kind of weapon is advanced consumption, and the actual combat significance is actually not great.

The biggest advantage is that the grenade is thrown far away.

Anyway, if you throw it with your hands, you will definitely not be able to throw a distance of two or three hundred meters.

The grenade is only 0.45 kilograms, the ammunition bag is only 3.6 kilograms for eight rounds, and the entire combat system with grenadiers is less than 7 kilograms, which is much lighter than a Czech light machine gun.

Due to their light weight, grenadier crews will not be able to fight with front-line infantry in time due to heavy loads like mortar crews or heavy machine gun crews. In real combat, grenadier groups can even charge with the infantry.

In general, the radius of destruction of the grenadier is about 5 to 8 meters, and a grenade can kill and injure dozens of people if it falls in a crowd, which is still good for a 50 mm caliber.
