Section 308 What to do
Mo Li Yokono didn't know that someone was spying in secret, damaging Steward Zhao, and inadvertently leaking the secret of the carriage lira.
Zhao Yue listened to it clearly.
With his hard and calm heart, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"God's Arm Crossbow? Or can you assemble nearly 10,000 spare parts? ”
"Damn, what kind of bird is this King Anqing afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will not be destroyed, and he is worried that his emperor Zhao Manchu will die not fast enough, or what?"
It was impossible for Zhao Yue not to be shocked.
The divine arm crossbow was first invented and created in the Western Xia, because of its long range, huge power, and easy to carry, it became a secret weapon that the Western Xia attached great importance to and the long-range advantage of the slaughter of the Song army.
Whenever he fought with the Song army, the divine arm crossbow attacked the way first, and the rain-like powerful crossbow arrows that were shot from afar always knocked down the Song army's carefully arranged tight military formation to resist the impact of war horses, that is, the layers of humanoid flesh shields composed of dense warrior lives were torn apart by pieces of blood, and then the horses rushed to kill.
Before the attack, the Song army was densely forested, and after the shooting, the corpses of the Song army were all over the field, such as the lonely remaining woods after being cut down indiscriminately, the scene was extremely bloody and terrifying, and it was unbearable to see.
Some people say that the Northern Song Dynasty army in history won more foreign wars and lost less, many of them still won more with less, the battle line was brilliant, and it was not weak, if it were not for the lack of war horses, the Northern Song Dynasty would not have been weak with such an army.
Zhao Yue came to this world in person, but he was heartbroken to realize that the victories were exchanged for human lives, and the battlefield was more tragic and thrilling than the bloody battle of millet plus rifles against aircraft artillery and submachine guns and aid Korea.
The so-called victory of the Song army was due to the huge population base that could afford to die. Lives are also spared.
The Western Xia army was often defeated, but it was one for five for ten. And even more lives. They have a small population and are unwilling to fight hard with their lives, causing huge losses among soldiers. Grab the population and materials, and retreat when the strategic goal is reached.
The Song army won, but they barely held the side plug, and they were so depressed and miserable that they were sad.
The Xia army was defeated, but it won a lot of results, and the defeat was triumphant.
However, because of this, the Western Army stuck to the high-risk northwest region with extremely harsh geographical, climatic and material conditions for decades, endured the suspicion and injustice of the imperial court, and endured the peaceful and tranquil life they defended with their lives. However, the insensitive, unappreciative and ungrateful mainlanders complained and even ridiculed and discriminated against, and still did not hesitate to sacrifice their brave and bloody battles with feelings of grief and helplessness, and the loyalty and generosity of the families of the Western Army regardless of the cost were all touching, singing and crying, and unforgettable.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yue knew that the Western Army had declined and the Jiangmen had decayed. Military discipline has deteriorated, people's hearts have gradually deteriorated, and the vast number of officers and men have become more and more disheartened by the setbacks and sacrifices of their ancestors in exchange for injustice and hardship, and they no longer care about their efforts as they did in the past. is unwilling to fight desperately and bloodily anymore, and there is no iron-blooded backbone that would not bend in the past. Zhao Yue, however, was still a strong advocate when he was a child, and since more than ten years ago, he has begun to help the Western Army strengthen its armed forces and combat readiness and improve its living conditions in various ways. Unconsciously, the gods imperceptibly infiltrated the hearts of the people of the Western Army, and made positive preparations for attracting and absorbing this meritorious army to become a member of the Cangzhao Iron Army in the future.
A large part of Zhao Yue's overall strategic layout revolved around the preservation of the Western Army and the people of the Northwest who had made great sacrifices.
He actively supported the people of Erlongshan. In disguise, helping Song Jiang to expand the strength of the small group is to use another way to safely absorb and screen available talents from the government and the opposition. Indirectly let the Cangzhao army have a usable external military strength, and let Song Jiang lead the remaining ferocious and evil green forest Han, and the greedy and evil had to embark on the road of rebellion, but in his heart he hoped to join the arms of the Great Song Dynasty as a greater official and enjoy glory and wealth, to deal with the three murderous and evil military forces gathered by the vulgar careerist Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and the cult careerist Fang La, and fight against evil, fight each other, skillfully eliminate the evil members within the Han nation, and strive to free the Western Army from the attrition of the civil war.
In addition, Zhao Yue also imagined how to avoid the cruel and senseless sacrifice of the Western Army's inevitable conquest of Yanyun and the defeat caused by the mutual restraint and hindrance of the Great Song Dynasty.
The vast number of heroic martyrs such as the Western Army and their families should receive historical justice.
Their sacrifices and contributions, the Great Song Dynasty is incompetent, and they don't want to reciprocate, Zhao Yue wants to make this glorious group get the respect and rewards it deserves, whether it is out of human feelings or out of practical needs.
Then again.
The war knives made in Western Xia are also famous, and the manufacturing process is above that of the Great Song Dynasty.
It is precisely with horses, swords, divine arms and crossbows, and fierce and wild daring armies that the small country of Western Xia can always steadily suppress the Great Song Dynasty, resist the pressure of the Great Liao, and withstand the invasion of the more ferocious Jin army.
The Great Song Dynasty's divine arm crossbow is imitation of Western Xia, and its craftsmanship level and attack power are not as good as those of opponents, but it has also become a weapon for resisting foreign enemies.
For the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, the military status of the Divine Arm Crossbow and its significance to national security could not be compared with nuclear weapons, or at least similar to the stealth fighter of the US imperialists.
With the manufacturing technology and material limitations of the Song Dynasty in this era, the complex and high-precision military weapon of the Divine Arm Crossbow, even with the official workshop strength of the Great Song Dynasty, could not be made much in a year, and limited to the technological process and accuracy, many parts of the accessories are not interchangeable, often the accessories are lost a little, and the entire Divine Arm Crossbow is scrapped. This has led to the great loss of this kind of sharp weapon war, which further increases the pressure on manufacturing.
What's more, in the case of Yang Lin, the brocade leopard, who continued to secretly poach craftsmen in Tokyo, after a long time, the loss of high-skilled officials and craftsmen was serious, and the manufacturing capacity of the official workshop was even worse.
Therefore, although the Great Song Dynasty had a developed handicraft industry and commerce, and its national strength was far more prosperous than that of Xia Liao, the assembly rate of the divine arm crossbow in the army was extremely low.
A second-class border army like Cangzhou is usually only equipped with a few hundred divine arm crossbows. The six divisions of the Western Army, which had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, were only equipped with a total of about the same number of divine arm crossbows as the Western Xia Army, and they were specifically divided into various departments and armies, and it can be imagined how rare they were.
The armies in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty were even less equipped with divine arm crossbows.
Of course, this is also a political means to prevent the leakage of the town's sharp weapons and the leakage of the secrets of the manufacturing process.
The army is underarmed, but this does not mean that there are very few divine arm crossbows stored in the armory of the Great Song Dynasty. Accumulated year after year. The inventory is still considerable.
The royal family of the Great Song Dynasty was most afraid of the army rebellion, and it was impossible to use the sharp weapons of Zhenguo to fully assemble the army. In particular, it is not possible to fully assemble such a group as the Western Army, which is not well controlled. Sharp weapons naturally have to be in the capital. When necessary, the Beijing army was massively assembled to suppress the rebels.
Ridiculously, historically. The large number of high-tech and high-precision bed crossbows and other sharp weapons stored in the capital did not play their due role in the defense of the capital against the Jin army. The capital fell easily.
This may be that before, hundreds of thousands of Song troops went out to fight blindly, but when they blocked the Jin army from forcibly crossing the Yellow River, they fled in the wind, leaving a large number of sharp weapons assembled from the capital to the Jin army, so that the Jin army was further equipped with long-range attack weapons and became more and more powerful. It may also be that Zhao Yue is in this situation, and the military weapon has long been shorted by the collusion between the bureaucracy and the inside.
The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was so jealous and wary of his own army, and so vigilant about the control of the sharp weapons in the town. But he never thought that his relatives, who he trusted and relied on the most, would resell the country's lethal weapons to his already powerful opponent Liao State just for money.
Zhao Yue couldn't help but feel extremely sad and ridiculous in horror.
The royal family has stood at the top of the ruling class, occupying too many people's taxes for blood and sweat for free, enjoying all the glory and wealth, but they are still trying to take more money that they can't use up at all, and they don't hesitate to sacrifice the fundamental interests of their ancestors. To what extent is psychopathic? What the hell do you think? Can you do anything more ridiculous?
Zhao Ji, your family has not been humiliated and transferred from the high heaven to the cruel hell. Towards destruction, the sky is speechless and refuses to agree!
He quickly returned and told him about it.
Duan Jingzhu glared and said angrily: "Is this worth it?" ”
"The bear-like Liao army and the Jin army are bound to lose every time there is a big battle, and they always discard their weapons and equipment all over the ground and scatter and flee. Unable to defeat the poorly equipped Jin Army is not a matter of weapons at all. If the Liao army is equipped with thousands of divine arm crossbows, isn't this a large number of sharp weapons given to the Jin army in vain? ”
Money bowl. Niu Jinbao, Jin Laishun. Ma Decai has seen the Jinliao War many times in the north for a long time, and he also has this deep understanding. They all nodded worriedly.
"Yes, if the already brave and invincible Jin Army is equipped with a divine arm crossbow, even if they can't play fine work and can't imitate it, it will be too much of a threat to our looting troops. It is only said that if our brothers go to steal horses and rob the horse farm again, I am afraid that not only will they not succeed, but they will be shot cleanly. That game is too powerful, and our armor can't resist it. ”
"Yes, these crossbows must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Liao army. Childe, we are willing to desperately catch up and intercept and destroy it. ”
"Yes, we have too few people, and it is too difficult to deal with the two hundred ironclad army, but we can destroy as many divine arm crossbows as we can. It's better than not doing it and letting them take it. ”
Zhao Yue naturally made up his mind.
He smiled and looked at the four eyed people he had brought.
Wang Nianjing was very shrewd, and he knew Zhao Yue's thoughts very well, so he only smiled lightly and nodded.
He is Zhao Yue's cronies and chief of the guard, the only bodyguard at the moment, and if Zhao Yue takes any danger, he will follow it. There is not much to say.
Wu Neng, Xu Jinjiu and Zhao Yue were all clear about Zhao Yue's temper and courage, and they felt that these ten people might not be able to deal with the Liao army, and they refused to back down at this time.
The rest of Wan Qi Danian didn't know what harm the Divine Arm Crossbow could cause if it fell into the hands of the enemy.
He looked at the emotional crowd, scratched his head, and said to Zhao Yue: "I followed you to play the hunting game you said. I don't have the knowledge, I don't have ideas, I can't play. My relatives are all dead, there is no point in living, and there is nothing I can't let go of when I die. How you want to play, I'll just follow along. Don't look at whether I dare or not. ”
When Wang Nianjing heard this, he was aroused by the sadness and shame hidden in his heart, and he couldn't help but glared at Wan Qi and scolded: "." We are a group, we are destined to know each other, loyalty comes first, and being firm together is a brother of life and death who is blessed and enjoys hardship. ”
"Why don't you have any relatives?"
"Including Gongzi, the entire Cangzhao people are your relatives."
"Why is it so boring to live?"
"Our good days have just begun."
"Why can't you put it down if you're dead?"
"Are you willing to accompany us to drink and practice martial arts and play the most exciting games?"
"Let me hear this kind of in the future, don't blame me for reciting the scriptures and not recognizing you as a brother."
shouted and scolded, but it made Wan Qi Danian's cold and lonely beastly heart that didn't care about everything become hot.
His eyes were a little moist, but he grinned and said, "I hope you didn't bully me, but the people in the mountains and grasses didn't know and didn't lie to me." ”
Wang Nianjing rolled his eyes, pulled his knife, and pouted: "Do you want to kowtow to the sky here and swear to the sky and make an alliance with blood?" ”
Wan Qi Danian subconsciously reached out and touched the bow in his bag, glared and said, "Okay." I believe in you. You think of me as a brother. I'm willing to risk everything with you. It's just a matter of killing Liao soldiers. If you sneak attack well, how can you kill and destroy a lot. It is not necessarily that if there are fewer people and more people are beaten, it will be death. ”
Zhao Yue smiled: "Danian said it well. If we want to succeed, we have to rely on sneak attacks. If you play well, you may not be able to destroy your opponents. ”
Except for Wan Qi Danian, everyone understood the meaning of Zhao Yue's words, and their eyes lit up.
Duan Jingzhu said: "Childe, when I came over, I was familiar with the terrain in this area. We can't sneak up here. Not too far in front is the village, and when the fight starts, the sound is easy to revea. Gotta go around to the front. ”
"They're going to Yanjing anyway. Now there are still three or four points before dark, they bet on heavy goods, and the responsibility is heavy, and they specify that if they want to rush back to Yanjing early to receive the reward, they will definitely not rest in the village so early, and they must continue to go. I know where to lay an ambush in front of me. ”
Zhao Yue nodded, discussed with everyone, and immediately got on the horse and left the official road, and Duan Jingzhu guided him around the hill and took the fork in the road to the predetermined location.
Mo Li Yokono didn't know that the team he brought had been stared at and calculated.
Although this Liao army has a heavy responsibility on its shoulders, it has successfully received the cargo team from the border, and rushed all the way here, not far from Yanjing, in the core territory of the Yanjing area's own people's domination, the vigilance is not so high, the spirit is also relaxed, and it is also conceited of force, not afraid of horse thieves or something to attack and loot, and closely guarding the convoy is only the habitual behavior of the task needs and well-trained troops.
They hurried to the village in front of them, and the Khitans who had migrated from the north to occupy the place were hospitable, and after eating and drinking, they continued on the road after a short rest. Mo Li Yokono plans to take advantage of the few hours before dark to travel dozens of miles, and strive to rush to the next village and town before sunset to rest for the night.
That way it is closer to Yanjing, closer to completing the task, and safer. (To be continued.) )
