Final Chapter. Beacon Roll Sky 370.Defeat When the Sun (9)
If you don't know the old, you can't easily say the new. This old saying is an eternal golden rule for craftsmen who rely on craftsmanship to support their families. Therefore, in the initial stage of the establishment of the Tianji Workshop, those skilled craftsmen from all over the world devoted all their experiences to the work of thoroughly understanding the ancient manuscripts. At that time, the changes they made were only to add or delete some innocuous auxiliary functions, and replace and debug "new materials" with similar properties. As for the original structure and design ideas, no insider would rush to start without understanding it.
But how could the fragmentary manuscripts left behind by the two Ancient Earth Spirit Veiners be so easy to comprehend and fuse, and improve them? As long as one is careless and adds these four words, it will be imprinted on the gold-lettered signboard of the Tianji Workshop, and will be ridiculed by future generations for thousands of years.
Imitation has never been a big rebellion or shameless obscenity. For example, the Ink Ray, the Three-Eyed Fire Bolt, the Trebuchet, the Thunderbolt Chariot, etc., etc., have a strong Momen mechanical style and are known for their strong aggressiveness; As for the city trucks, baggage trucks, mobile cloud towers, simple pontoon bridges, hanging rail trailers, etc., etc., it is full of the design style and technical concept of the male loser; Most of these tools are mainly auxiliary, and can be used on the battlefield of the two armies in wartime; The good years of peace in the world and abundant harvests also play an outstanding role in the livelihood of the market......
Of course, the gold-swallowing giant beast of Tianji Workshop has eaten more than half of the family business, and it is impossible to just make these small repairs, small repairs, additions, decreases, and replacements!
The first original product of the Tianji Workshop, called the gun carriage. This object is based on the design concept of Mo Lei, and adopts the deconstruction principle and casting method of the male and female veins; The inspiration for the ratio of cannonballs to gunpowder comes from the eighteen "fire urns" that Shen Gui buried in the East Customs; And with the improved four-wheeled baggage truck as the base base, it is convenient for transportation.
The lethality of the artillery cart is far greater than that of Mo Lei, and one shot is enough to break the mountain......
It's a pity that before Pang Qingshan led the army to cross the river and reap the fruits of victory; The craftsmen of the Tianji Workshop worked day and night, and only three qualified "test products" were cast. The first gun carriage was destroyed after repeated commissioning and inspection; The second artillery carriage was erected by Huang Tianhao on his handsome ship, planning to sing a lively song of "Bombardment of Dengzhou City".
It's a pity that by now, according to the direction of the wind at the end of summer, the time with the fleet, and the wind and waves on the sea, Huang Tianhao, the governor of the navy, should have already floated over the immortal mountain of the East China Sea with those brothers who died of cholera......
And the remaining third artillery carriage is the magic weapon of the Worry Relief Army's strict supervision and secrecy along the way! And this decisive battle, the Yanjing battlefield, is also an excellent opportunity for artillery trucks to withstand the test of actual combat!
The deputy general of the Relief Army, who is fully responsible for matters related to the gun carriage, is named Lian Wei, and he is a blacksmith in the Tianji Workshop. And the reason why this reckless technical talent will go deep into the enemy territory with the army is to collect the relevant data of the "first cry of the gun truck" and bring it back to Nankang for secondary revision.
Pang Qingshan, who was anxious, came to the south gate of Yanjing; I saw that the outer wall of the urn city on the southeast side had been smashed to pieces by the remaining trebuchets; And General Lian Weilian, as the technical guide, also took advantage of the great opportunity that the crossbowmen did not dare to show their heads, and assigned the first-class auxiliaries under his command to set up the dark and heavy heavenly machine gun carriage on the south bank of the moat as soon as possible!
It turned out that the old antique-level heavy ballista that was "nerve" at the city gate before was just a knife stop to adjust the angle of this top-secret weapon!
As soon as Lian Wei saw Pang Qingshan riding a horse, he immediately stepped forward and replied:
"Yu Pang Shuai, the artillery carriage has been set up, and it is ready to launch an offensive against the Urn City at any time!"
Pang Qingshan nodded with satisfaction, turned back to the herald and ordered:
"Order: The whole army, all men in armor, line up, and prepare for the first and final charge! In this battle, the loud sound of the gun carriage was the order, the pontoon bridge was the first, the ladder was behind, and the long shield soldier was second; These three battalions did not have to fight to the death, but only used as bait for a feint, and went straight to the city walls to attract the attention of the defenders of the outer city; And the vanguard, the soldiers of the second battalion of Dengcheng, did their best to protect General Lian and the Tianji artillery carriage until they arrived safely in the urn city. Please also remember that no matter when and where you are, as long as the gate of the outer city of Yanjing is bombarded by our army's artillery trucks, everyone must immediately go to the city, including me! Brethren, if you advance in this battle, you will live, and if you retreat, you will die; If you rush to the Huangquan Road, you have to wait for my old Pang! ”
Half an hour later, the gun carriage of the Tianji Workshop made an earth-shattering loud noise! The urn city opposite the cannon barrel suddenly set off a cloud of dust and smoke......
"Kill!"
Before the dust and smoke cleared, the second-class auxiliaries shouted wildly with their eyes bare eyes, and then desperately escorted the pontoon pulley, which had already been assembled, and rushed to the deep and wide moat; And the Longbow Battalion, which had not been used since the killing of 300 "neurotics", also rushed forward like crazy at this time, desperately protecting the wings of the auxiliaries, and pulling the bow and pointing towards the dust and smoke that covered people's eyes, and the fingers were like flying!
In Yanjing City, Wang Zuocheng and Luo Zhifu, who had already seen the power of trebuchets and thunderbolts, had just climbed the city tower in the outer city, and before they could stand firmly, they only heard a loud noise, and as far as the eye could see, they were blocked by a piece of yellow sand and dust, and there was no light to penetrate......
Wang Fang's eyes were dazzled by smoke and dust, and his feet could not withstand the shaking of the ground, his ankles weakened, his body leaned forward, and he slammed directly into the rough and hard arrow stack in front of him; If it weren't for the squinting Luo Zhifu, he would have fished him out in time; Maybe this old prime minister, who is over seventy years old, has already fallen off the towering and solid Yanjing City Tower!
"This ...... What is this......"
Although Wang Fang is old, he is open-minded and flexible, and he is not the kind of dirt bun who has never seen firearms; Even on his prime minister's mansion, there is a Seiko three-eyed fire gun, and he also plays with it for a long time...... It's just that this loud noise is too terrifying, as if the earth is cracking and the earth is shaking! Its momentum is far from ordinary firearms, comparable to traditional siege weapons!
Luo Yuan, the prefect of Yanjing, was almost frightened; But after all, he was in his prime, and his body was not injured, so he naturally came back to his senses faster than Wang Fang.
"Ahem...... Bah! Xiangye, it doesn't matter what it is. Now the urn city is full of dust, and neither the enemy nor the enemy can see it. According to Xia Guan's guess, Pang Qingshan's dog thief will definitely not let go of this excellent fighter to safely shorten the siege distance! Judging by the prestige of this object alone, I am afraid that it should be no problem to break a city gate...... Now that the urn city has been broken, the gate of the outer city, we must guard it! ”
Wang Fang, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he not understand such a simple truth! After two rounds of testing, the Worry Relief Army immediately played a trump card, instantly turning the advantage of Yanjing City's defense into nothing. But if Luo Yuan's prediction is good, the urn city is really destroyed; Then, after the enemy army crosses the moat safely, the gate of the outer city of Yanjing may not be able to resist the "winning trump card" of the worry-relieving army......
At this moment, in the Yanjing Protectorate, there are already many people who are exclaiming nonsense such as "witchcraft and demon law", "heavenly thunder descends into the world", "sprinkling beans into soldiers", "harnessing gods and driving away ghosts......
Speaking of this phenomenon, it is also to blame Shen Gui's little slippery head, and He Wendao, a shaman from the Northern Hidden University, who performed in the East Customs Hall for the "Heavenly Fire Burning City"!
Even if Shen and He can hide from the eyes of the world, they will definitely not be able to deceive Wang Fang, the old fox! People's military merits and prestige, but in the bloody battles with the Second Army of Western Xinjiang and Mobei decades ago, the results of one knife after another were very hard!
Wang Fang has already seen the most tragic wars, and has also seen countless human lives, under the pouring of war, as if they were as empty as dust, between this heaven and earth, disappearing silently, without the weight of life to speak of, and without traces of existence......
However, the veterans of Wang Fang's generation have their own confidence and pride when they are facing the enemy. They don't ask the heavens, they don't ask the spirits; All doubts are solved by the long knife in his hand and the flame in his chest.
For them, the difference between life and death is the difference between right and wrong!
"The Eight Generals of the Northern Wolf!"
After a moment of silence, the king put his hand on the battlements of the wall and shouted with a loud voice. The old minister gave an order, and among the family members who were accompanied by the prime minister's mansion, several gray-haired old men came out: one was dressed as a gardener, and the edge of his shoes was still stained with fresh soil; Some people wore the green cloth shirts of the porters, and a thumb-sized cooked copper tobacco pouch pot was exposed on the waist scarf; There is also a rich old man like Maitreya Buddha, and the apron in front of him is stained with oil flowers; There was a one-armed, a blind man, and Wang Di, the chief administrator of the prime minister's mansion......
A total of six old men responded to the order:
"The last general!"
Although the dress of these six old people is really unsightly; Either an old slave homeworker, or a potential customer of a children's home; Whether it is the specific number or personal image, it has nothing to do with the four words "Eight Generals of the Northern Wolf" called by Wang Fang......
But Lord Luo Yuanluo, in the eyes of these six old men, saw a faint firelight, dim but hot......
"Everyone has 500 armor soldiers, immediately kill out of the outer city, and defeat the ghost trick of the Worry Relief Army in one fell swoop!"
"The last general commands!"
Wang Di, the old housekeeper who was only less than two years younger than Wang Fang, helped the blind old man to get up, and then took the lead in untying the expensive silk cotton robe, revealing the wrinkled and staggered chest of the man!
"The eight generals of the Northern Wolf, I respect the general's order, and the army will go to battle!"
A hoarse and old voice shot straight into the sky, and the other five old men also looked up at the sky with the sound of the voice, and let out a desolate and tragic howl in unison......
Six people, eight flames, flashed in the eyes of everyone, and slowly but surely walked down the tower......
