Chapter 640: Thunder

Yue Fei finally calmed the morale of the Shanhai Navy and the Hejian Army, and it was very difficult for the eager soldiers to let them stand by in place.

At this time, the military discipline that Yue Fei had been emphasizing finally played an important role.

The Great Song army trained and drilled on time, maintained the intensity of combat readiness, waited for the official's order, and attacked at any time!

And Yue Fei waited for four days, and the king's order to attack did not wait, but waited for ox carts, and slowly came to the front line of Liaoyang from Laizhou.

Looking at the ox cart covered with a heavy canvas, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong glanced at each other, what is this?

When the ox cart arrived at the logistics, Yue Fei finally pulled the cloth apart and saw what was covered under the heavy linen.

Twenty-four artillery!

Chen Gui looked at Yue Fei and Han Shizhong with inexplicable looks, and said, "Good thing, when you use it tomorrow, you will know how powerful this thing is." ”

He smiled and stroked the Shenwei Zhenyuan cannon and said, "The official family gave the time-delay wooden plate fuse back then. It's a pity that this is still an iron bullet, and the Guangbei siege work is still researching a flowering bomb that can explode. ”

He came with the army to collect data, and then gave the Great Song Dynasty Guangbei to make suggestions for improving the siege, and now some of the equipment of the Great Song Dynasty can no longer be understood by everyone, and professionals need to follow.

And he is the professional in charge of the cannon.

Han Shizhong looked at the copper cannon and said eagerly: "Say so much, wait for four or five days, just wait for such a copper lump?" Your stereotype is to speak, whether it's a mule or a horse, and you have to pull it out and slip away. Don't wait, try it now. ”

Chen Gui looked at the anxious Han Shizhong and said, "General Han, don't be anxious, I have brought something new to the large-scale engineering trebuchet this time." It's called Heaven-shattering Thunder! It was gunpowder, and the transport could not be bumpy, and it went slower. We'll wait a few hours. ”

When the thunder arrived, Yue Fei looked at the gunpowder bag in front of him and asked suspiciously, "How do you use this thing?" ”

Chen Gui pointed to the wooden disk fuse and said: "The official family originally gave the time-delayed wooden disk fuse, you can adjust the detonation time by looking at it, and when you use it, you can light the fuse and use the trebuchet to throw it out." ”

Chen Gui sat at the table, and on the table was a half-person-high gunpowder bag, such a piece, about more than one hundred and fifty pounds, just within the bearing range of a heavy trebuchet.

"Fireworks?" Han Shizhong poked the powder bag with his finger and asked.

The terrifying number of explosions of the tribulus cannon and the slightly weak power of gunpowder are really a bit pediatric in the military.

But this also made Han Shizhong play the thistle cannon out of a fireworks offensive.

In Han Shizhong's view, there are no waste weapons and equipment, only waste generals.

Han Shizhong always believed that as long as the emperor was willing to give military rations, armor and weapons, and horses, he would be able to win one victory after another for the officials!

With so many bells and whistles, it's useless.

As for the soldiers who died on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, isn't that the fate of the soldiers?

To join the army is to pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, and if you stand up to the enemy, you will be promoted to the rank of knight, and if you don't do it, you will be killed by the enemy.

But when it comes to the official family, these new inventions are always being made.

"Try it now?" Yue Fei looked at the huge gunpowder bag, but he didn't dare to poke his fingers with his fingers as recklessly as Han Shizhong.

It's just that the tribulus cannon is wasted, and when there is no armor, it is exploded by that thing once, and there are pieces of iron all over the body.

How many golden people were killed by iron pieces in Tiandezhou? If you don't have a carb, it's a death if you touch the tribulus cannon.

In the medicine bag of the tribulus cannon, there are hundreds of pieces of iron buried, which can't kill people, and the pieces of iron can stab people to death.

It was so tightly wrapped, and it weighed much heavier than the weight of a tribulus cannon, he didn't want to try it.

Yue Fei is a person who does what he says, and he will try it immediately when he says to try.

At this time, it is close to dusk, and there is still a rainbow hanging on the horizon after the rain, and the sun is exerting its last residual heat on the horizon, continuing to scorch the earth, and the sultry and steaming heat makes the freshness of the rain turn into sultry again, making people irritable.

And the ground after the rain is not muddy, because this kind of thundershower, which comes and goes fast, does not accumulate much rain on the ground.

A heavy trebuchet was pushed to the front line by the soldiers from the barracks and placed two thousand paces away.

At this time, Du Chong was inspecting the city, although he entrusted Chen Ang to send his surrender letter to Yue Fei's army, but he never got a reply, knowing that most of him was still cold.

"Snacks on duty! In a moment, a stray arrow will shoot you through with your sleepy bug! Du Chong kicked a sleeping Khitan, and this soldier actually fell asleep when he was on duty.

And when he walked to the west city wall, Du Chong saw the soldiers watching on the city wall, so he was angry, when he was on duty, why didn't he see them so lively?

"What do you say Song Jun are here for? Two thousand steps away, throwing stones? ”

"Let me say that Song Jun is afraid, you see that they don't even dare to approach two thousand steps."

"Reasonable, reasonable! The soldiers who ran away from the camp last time were intercepted and killed by them, but they must have suffered heavy losses, and they saw our strength, otherwise there would have been no movement in the past three or five days? ”

"That's right, timid Song people! Hahaha! ”

……

The soldiers at the head of the city looked at the heavy trebuchet in the distance with laughter and laughter, and discussed what could they do if they threw it, just smash a few battlements and repair them overnight.

"Get back on duty! In case of a sneak attack by the Song army, do you still have dogs' lives! Du Chong roared angrily, and the soldiers scattered as birds and beasts and left the Wufeng Tower on the west city wall.

Seeing that the Song army did not have the slightest intention of general attack, Du Chong looked at the trebuchet with some frustration, but for his own safety, he left the west city wall as fast as possible, if he was directly hit by the stone of the trebuchet, he would definitely die!

When Du Chong left the western city wall, he saw that the trebuchet was still loading something, and it was not fired.

"What the hell?" Du Chong asked suspiciously, and continued to inspect the city defense.

Han Shizhong looked at the carefully calculated stereotype, although he was very anxious, he could only wait.

Chen Gui compared for a long time on a more complicated clairvoyant mirror, and said: "The wind speed is three, the southeast wind, two thousand and one hundred steps, the left turn is four, the inclination angle is forty, and the delay is fifteen breaths, so let's adjust." ”

Yue Fei pointed to the clairvoyant mirror and said, "What is this?" ”

"The rangefinder, the calculation is more complicated now, after a while, simplify the algorithm, make the table, and then it can be installed, this is the wind direction and anemometer, which are accessories for supporting Shenwei cannons and trebuchets, General Yue, don't be anxious." Chen Gui pointed to the clairvoyant mirror and said.

"Is it okay to ignite now?" Han Shizhong looked at Chen Gui and asked impatiently.

These readers are like this, doing a lot of things!

"Let's start the fire and throw it." Chen Gui nodded, looked at the thunder that had been adjusted with confidence, and said, "The power will not disappoint you." ”

The four men who stepped on the trebuchet slowly lifted the boulder of the trebuchet's counterweight, and the projectile rod slowly lowered, and the iron and wood creaked.

Chen Gui lit the fuse of the wooden plate with a delay of fifteen breaths with a fire fold, and shouted loudly: "Release! ”
