Chapter 476: Firearms Siege

Although he is not a businessman, Wang Lixin still knows that facts speak louder than words, and only by letting everyone see the advantages of firearms in siege warfare can he make more money as an intermediary. Huoran? Text w?w?w?.? ra?n?wenA'com and he realized that he could only be an intermediary once, so he had to seize this opportunity to make more money.

After thinking about it, Wang Lixin expressed his willingness to buy 30 tiger squat cannons, 1,000 units of shells, and 5,000 wooden handles of earth-shaking thunder from Shi Bin, but he didn't want Shi Bin's guns. During the siege of the city, the weapon of the Shi Bin gun was not of much use.

Seeing that Wang Lixin could so accurately judge which weapon was the most practical in siege warfare, Shi Bin was both happy and surprised. With such a good example as Wang Lixin, he will definitely be able to make Shi Bin's arms sell well, and he will definitely make a lot of money.

After getting the arms, Wang Lixin began to siege the city. It's still the same dull attack method before, but this time, the sluggishness has added a tiger squat cannon and a wooden handle to shake the sky. Each time, twenty tiger squat cannons fired two units in a row, and then a battalion of men and horses was sent to carry 500 wood-handled earth-shaking thunderbolts to charge.

Although the rigid and rigid style of play made Shi Bin a little speechless, the results were still much better than those of the other three city walls, and it didn't take long for Wang Lixin's men to attack this city wall. Although it has never gained a firm foothold, it is much better than Lu Wende's others. No one wanted the first merit of breaking the city to be taken away by a young man who had never fought a siege battle with firearms, so Shi Bin, the commander of the big arms dealer, immediately surged in front of the tent.

originally didn't plan to put on a score, he had always been harmonious and wealthy, so Shi Bin welcomed all the generals who came into the handsome tent, including Lu Wende, Wang Jian, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing here today? This makes my little handsome tent shine. Shi Bin smiled with a confused smile.

Everyone secretly scolded Shi Bin for being a bastard, but they all smiled on their faces and said that they were discussing Shi Bin with a serious matter, and it was a big deal.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my handsome account is not very big, I'm afraid I can't accommodate so many people, if you want to discuss the same issues, then send a few representatives here to discuss with me, how about it?" Shi Bin said.

After listening to Shi Bin's words, everyone found that they couldn't even turn around at will in this handsome tent. Immediately embarrassed, they had no choice but to elect Lu Wende, Wang Jian, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi as representatives to discuss arms sales with Shi Bin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you here for the sake of arms?" Since there were only five commanders here, Shi Bin didn't pretend to be stupid, but asked directly.

"Yes." Wang Jian said, "Lord Shi's firearms are so powerful, they actually made Wang Lixin's young capital, who had never fought siege battles, get so many results" Then Wang Jian stopped talking and just smiled vigorously.

"This is normal, Lord Wang. Firearms are like this, and if they are used well, they can be worth thousands of troops. With all due respect, Lord Wang Lixin didn't use it very well, it was too rigid. Shi Bin grinned.

"Of course, Lord Wang is only the first time to use firearms to fight a siege battle, of course it is impossible to compare with Shi Dashuai." Chen Yan immediately took over and said, "Actually, the four of us came here to buy some firearms from Shi Dashuai. Everyone's casualties are already not small, and they don't want to fill them with human lives anymore, and they want to attack Datong in a different way. ”

"I see, Lord Chen is reasonable, and it is really a bit unreasonable to fill it with human life." Shi Bin secretly scolded 'the stupidest way'. Then he added, "It really needs to be done differently." But my lords, I promised not to interfere with your siege again. ”

After listening to Shi Bin's words, Lu Wende and the four of them immediately scolded Shi Bin for being extremely shameless, in their opinion, this was a despicable trick used by Shi Bin to raise the price of arms. However, they didn't expect that this was Shi Bin interfering in their siege operations by selling arms.

"What are you talking about, Shi Dashuai, we are here to talk to you about arms dealing, all of this is our own volition, how can it be said that you interfered in our military operations?" Chen Yan immediately smiled, and at the same time nodded vigorously at the three around him. Motioned for them to hurry up and agree.

They all wanted to buy arms as soon as possible for the attack on Datong, so including Lu Wende, the commander of the road, nodded again and again to express their agreement with what Chen Yan said.

"Do you really think so?" Shi Bin asked hypocritically. In fact, Shi Bin knew that what they were saying now was not true, the only thing he really wanted to get the arms as soon as possible, just to tease them.

Although he knew that Wang Lixin would not be able to take Datong so quickly, what if the Yuan people in the city didn't carry it? Therefore, Lu Wende and several people repeatedly said that it was just an arms deal now, and Shi Bin did not interfere with their siege operation at all.

The next thing is much easier, Lu Wende and the four of them placed an order according to Wang Lixin, but the price was one percent higher than when Wang Lixin bought it. A few people know in their hearts but are helpless, who told them to ask for others and fall behind?

Since Shi Bin has always brought enough guns and cannons with him, he doesn't need to go back to Sichuan to pick up the goods at all, just assign forty percent of the firearms in the army to Lu Wende. This news made them happy, and they urged Shi Bin to order the delivery.

People can't stand without trust, of course Shi Bin wants to be a reputable businessman. So he immediately sent the goods and secretly sent a commission to Wang Lixin.

In less than an hour, Ah Shu felt that the Song army's attack had become sharper, almost pressing them to fight. Because as long as you stick your body out of the female wall, you may be injured by the tiger squat cannon or the wooden handle of the earth-shaking thunder. The popularity of the Yuan people immediately fell to the bottom, if it weren't for Ah Shu and other Yuan generals to supervise the battle on the front line, I am afraid that Datong would have been broken.

On the one hand, the Yuan people resisted desperately, and on the other hand, Lu Wende and several people attacked fiercely with firearms, and time seemed to stop there, because there was still no winner until the lights were on.

Looking at this result, Shi Bin shook his head a little helplessly, and transferred one hundred and fifty tiger squat cannons to suppress the firepower, but he couldn't break the city, it felt really ridiculous.

However, since he didn't want the control of Datong, Shi Bin didn't bother to bother with this matter, anyway, the battle damage he cared about had been greatly reduced.

Seeing that Shi Bin shook his head again and again, Xu Feng also guessed the reason, so he walked up to him and said, "Adults don't have to be like this, growth requires a process." According to their humble opinions, Lord Lu has done a good job. At least they didn't let the firearms hurt their own people. ”

At least it's good not to let the firearm hurt your own people? Shi Bin couldn't imagine where this good came from.

"It's none of your business, hanging up high may be the attitude that adults should have at this time." Xu Feng reminded.

"Don't worry, I don't want to teach them how to use firearms, and I'll be a businessman and a spectator." Shi Bin said this to reassure Xu Feng's heart.

To fight a war is to fight money, and to spend money is like running water. Now that there are fewer dead and wounded, more money is spent, which is obviously wrong in a troubled era when human life is like a mustard. What's more, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and the life or death of a soldier actually has nothing to do with the generals.

Therefore, after attacking Datong with firearms for ten days, Lu Wende and the others started beating drums in their hearts, not because of anything else, but because the cost of using firearms was far greater than they imagined.

The tiger squat cannon without ammunition is just an ornament, and only then did they find out that Shi Bin's real money is not the tiger squat cannon and Shi Bin gun, but the ammunition and wooden handle earth-shaking thunder, which are used once and gone.

No one would be stupid enough to buy a large amount of ammunition from Shi Bin again, and they were all bought in small batches, three days and five days. After five more days, the half-moon Datong was still not broken by the siege of the city with firearms, but the cost already made people feel a little lost.

When Lu Wende and the others wanted to change back to cold weapons to attack the city, Wang Lixin, a guy who had benefited a lot from it, said that he might be able to go to Shi Bin, the firearms master, to ask for advice or two, and thought that Shi Bin should not lie to them.

This is a solution, so Wang Lixin took Lu Wende and the four of them to Shi Bin's handsome tent to ask for advice.

Lu Wende's five people came together again, which Shi Bin did not expect. They didn't come to complain and ask for guilt, which made Shi Bin feel a lot more relieved. But the bitter look on his face still made him feel a little uneasy.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Lixin said, "Shi Dashuai, hello." ”

Because he really didn't know why Wang Lixin and the five of them came, he asked in confusion: "Why did several adults come together today?" ”

Several people looked at each other bitterly, and finally Chen Yan, a person who can speak well, said, "Dashuai, this half month, due to the support of your firearms, the Datong Yuan army has indeed suffered a very big blow, and Datong is also in danger, as if it will be broken at any time, but it's just this cost" Speaking of this, Chen Yan didn't say anything but smiled awkwardly.

It turned out that it was because of the cost, and it seemed that the cost was a bit too big to affect them to drink the blood of the soldiers. Shi Bin thought disdainfully.

"Lord Chen means it's too expensive?" Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Shi Dashuai, this cost is not only too big, but it is too big. It doesn't matter if the handsome man has a lot of money, but how can we, the poor ghosts who are shy in our pockets, afford it? ”

Looking at Chen Yan's slightly sad face, Shi Bin knew that he was also telling some truth, and Song Ting's food and salary were not easy to ask.

"What do you mean, Lord Chen?" Shi Bin asked with an unkind face.

"Don't get me wrong, Shi Dashuai, we don't want to return the goods, but we want to ask Dashuai to teach us how to use firearms to attack the city. It's not good to fight like this, it's a waste of money and demoralization. Wang Jian immediately explained.

Teach Wang Jian that they use firearms to attack the city? Shi Bin felt a little unhappy in his heart. Although he was not afraid that the apprentices of the church would starve to death of the master, Shi Bin still didn't want to teach five apprentices just like that. After all, going to a private school also requires teaching fees, let alone his senior military school?

Of course, he couldn't ask for tuition, so Shi Bin had to bow his head and groan in thought. This time, Xu Feng was not so smart, but he was stunned and didn't know why.

The situation was a little bad, Shi Bin had to secretly rub Xu Feng and secretly knead his pockets a few times. This time, Xu Feng was enlightened, so he said: "A few adults, the experience of my family marshal in fighting has also accumulated bit by bit, is it a little inappropriate to teach you like this?" ”

It turned out that he didn't want to do it in vain and wanted benefits, and Lu Wende immediately understood it in his heart. If this is the case, you are not afraid, just negotiate the conditions. What's more, they all know that Shi Bin is not so greedy, and the conditions proposed should not be excessive, so they all said that they will definitely pay some to repay Shi Bin.

It's just that Lu Wende and the five of them just finished saying this, but they suddenly made people feel uncomfortable, like a child who was afraid of being robbed of his beloved toy.

Why this is happening without thinking about it, I know it, it is nothing more than afraid that Shi Bin will take a share of the credit for attacking Datong. It is very rare for the credit to be divided into five parts, and it is almost gone if it is divided into six parts, and the reaction of the five people is normal, and Shi Bin understands it very well.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, Shi doesn't want you to break the city, that is, he just wants to do a few more business with you."

The exchange was just a few businessmen, which made Lu Wende very happy. If Datong is broken, the entire Hedong will be recovered, and the six people present will definitely be promoted to the next level. Are you afraid that you won't have money if you have power? So they all expressed their willingness to do a big deal with Shi Bin, as long as Shi Bin promised to help them break the city.

After thinking about it carefully, Shi Bin decided to earn only 500,000 taels of silver, and not to appear too greedy. opened 1.5 million taels of goods, and let Lu Wende and the five people share 300,000 taels each. Although it hurts a little, compared to being promoted to one level of official, 300,000 taels of silver is nothing, and it is good to deduct it from somewhere else. So the five of them readily agreed.

The business was negotiated, and Shi Bin, the firearms master, took five apprentices to attack the city.

Seeing the thirty tiger squatting cannons scattered under the city, Shi Bin felt a little helpless. Immediately ordered people to gather the tiger squat cannons together, and fifty tiger squat cannons were immediately gathered under a city wall. Feeling that the density was not enough, fifty tiger squat cannons were transferred again, and finally they simply lined up in two rows, with a total of one hundred tiger squat cannons.

Such a way of playing frightened the five people, and they had to sigh that Shi Bin was atmospheric enough, and a hundred tiger squatting cannons bombarded a city wall, could there be anyone on it?

After firing five units of shells, Shi Bin ordered the front row of fifty tiger squat guns to move forward thirty paces, raise the angle of fire and continue firing. The purpose is very clear, to prevent the Yuan army in the city from going to the city wall to support. Iron bullets that fall from the sky can still do it even if they can't kill or injure people. Therefore, after bombarding a total of fifteen units before and after, Shi Bin ordered: two battalions of soldiers to attack the city wall in two waves.

Looking at Shi Bin's confident appearance, Lu Wende felt unhappy, and at the same time, he didn't believe that he could take down a city wall with such a random bombardment.

However, facts speak louder than words, and the first wave of attacks was met with some resistance, and after the second battalion was attacked, a wall was controlled by the Song army.

Lu Wende is a smart person, even if he can't come up with this method, he still knows how to draw a scoop according to the gourd. So they immediately joined forces to attack the other walls. Although the heat is not as good as Shi Bin's, it is not bad. After firing twenty units of artillery shells, three waves of attacks were launched, and another wall was taken.

As a result, several people went crazy, and they never thought that the siege could be so simple. Even Wang Jian, who has always been unsmiling, couldn't stop laughing. And they all secretly made up their minds to build their own arsenal, and they couldn't buy Shi Bin's firearms all the time.

After only two days of attacking in this way, Datong was breached, and Ah Shu also fled with his three hundred personal soldiers, and Hedong Road was completely recovered.
