Chapter 679: The Fall of Jiezhou

"No, logistics are also wars. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEveryone has their own position, do your job well, you don't believe that the Hezhong Mansion has combat quality, and it is useless to pull you up, on the contrary, it is equivalent to sending people to increase the morale of Western Xia. Gao Fangping said: "Do you know why the previous capital eunuch was beheaded by this government?" Just because he didn't think he could fight, he took the armament that should have equipped our northern army. Of course, this is his Zhang Weiyi's pot, but as a prisoner, he doesn't measure his strength and goes with the flow, and he is derelict in his duty if he doesn't take Zhang Weiyi with a mallet. Derelict soldiers in the war zone must be beheaded, there is nothing right or wrong. ”

"Yes." Wang Yuan nodded.

Gao Fangping said: "Now I order your troops to return all the armaments belonging to my northern army, and we will wait for the test and run-in!" ”

There was no room for resistance, and Wang Yuan immediately went to execute.

Of course, this batch of armaments is very important, and it is because of this batch of important armaments that Gao Fangping entered Hezhong Mansion to rest, otherwise there would be another route.

At that time, the North 1 Beijing Garrison Division had a total of 21,000 people, but 3,000 had to be left for Tong Guan in the North 1 Beijing. In addition to the cavalry of the Yongle Army, Gao Fangping brought out 18,000 infantry.

However, these 18,000 people are now ideologically and politically strong, and their training is still lacking. Of course, in view of the fact that they are in the forbidden military department of the front of the palace, they even have strict requirements for height and weight when they enlist in the army, so their physical fitness is generally no problem, although the training is not perfect, but it is not a big problem.

The key lies in the equipment, and the mobilization for combat readiness in Jiangzhou was not long, and it was only after the official start of the Songxia War.

Although the Bianjing pig farm began to expand the production line under Gao Fangping's Zhou Xuan a few months ago, it took time to ferment, and from the time the North 1 Beijing Garrison Division received the order to go to war, at that time, the equipment sent by Bianjing, including the Divine Arm Bow, was only more than 5,000 sets.

So the plan behind is that they will continue to expand production, and the follow-up equipment will not be sent to North 1 Beijing, but will be directly delivered to Hezhongfu, an important logistics town in the northwest, relying on more and more developed shipping.

Zhang Weiyi really deserves to die, even the equipment that Liu Yanqing's department can't use for the time being, and he Zhang Governor dares to get his hands on it? and flung the pot to the capital eunuch on the spot, then in the future, he will be useless in Hezhong Mansion, and his subordinates will be centrifuged and no longer trust him.

Stupid, not responsible. He carried the black cauldron to protect his subordinates, and Gao Fangping was top of it, Gao Fangping really couldn't do anything with him, but then he would get the sworn allegiance of his subordinates.

Sometimes there are fools, and there is a popular saying in later generations: when there are multiple choices, there is no need to ask, officials and official-led governments must make the worst choices.

No one knows what this is all about, but this tradition has endured thousands of years of human civilization. Occasionally, the so-called hegemon appeared, just because that government made fewer mistakes than other regimes, so it has been a worse civilization since ancient times, not better.

The reason why he trusts Da Song is that Da Song is not as bad as his hometown......

Now, starting from the reception of equipment in Hezhong Mansion, although the number of Gao Fangping is extremely pitiful, most of the people are armed to the teeth.

Basically, over the past few days, there have been 12,000 sets of new equipment, including the Divine Arm Crossbow. As long as there are 5,000 more sets, the infantry in the high square flat will be able to change their outfits.

From now on, the North 1 Beijing military department is repairing and adapting to the new equipment and divine arm crossbows.

One of the biggest advantages of the Divine Arm Crossbow is that it uses mechanical force and does not require much "archery" from soldiers.

In this era, it is not possible to fight cavalry without a "bow and arrow cluster". However, compared to the nomadic warriors, Hanwa has a natural shortcoming in riding and archery. It takes too long and too much to train qualified archers. If you can train all the people to be Shi Wengong, you can still talk about an egg, but unfortunately you can't.

So the crossbow bolt officially appeared on the stage.

The crossbow bolt is actually of the same nature as the later muskets, because the requirements for the use of sergeants are not high, and they can train a useful "long-range strike group" at a lower cost and in a shorter time limit. The divine arm crossbow founded in Western Xia is a bug of this era, and after this artifact was introduced to the Great Song Dynasty, it was improved to the peak by the artists of the Great Song Dynasty. He's really much more powerful than a primary firearm.

The only shortcoming of the Divine Arm Crossbow is that it has no production capacity, cannot form a cluster, and can only be used as a luxury product, which is used by some noble military systems to pretend to be forced.

But this rule is being subverted by the assembly line of pork flat and the concept of combat efficiency per penny......

Gao Fangping stood at the head of the city, watching the sergeants of various departments doing low-intensity recovery training, while the sergeants were testing and adapting to the new armament.

At present, in addition to the basic formation of the god arm crossbow cluster, there are also "nuclear weapons".

It was the group of crazy manufacturing maniacs in Jiangzhou, the newly developed mini trebuchet.

Speaking of which, this is also the "trebuchet" that Gao Fangping improved according to the ideas of later mortars, and then Tao Zhiming and his guys opened their brains.

It is characterized by lightness and simple structure, and a person can carry it around on his back, put it down and assemble it, which is a mini trebuchet, which can throw ammunition far in a parabolic manner.

Boom Boom

I saw that the "artillerymen" who were testing equipment outside the city were projecting some iron mounds out, and then Tituotuo exploded in the air.

This is testing and training, but if the explosion point is not right, they immediately adjust the trebuchet and adjust the lead length.

Of course, the Great Song Dynasty did not have mortar shells, but Jiangzhou Manufacturing had developed a "Tuotuo" like a landmine, with a thin skin and a large filling, and a mixture of gunpowder steel nails inside, the principle was the same as that of firecrackers, which needed to be ignited before projection. Then, as long as the measurement is sufficient, and the production standard and length of the lead are unified, it can be done at a suitable position before landing, and low-altitude blasting can be carried out to form a scatter rain.

The power of the Great Song gunpowder is still not enough, and of course the lethality cannot be compared with the Divine Arm Crossbow, but it is already very obscene.

The infantry armor made of not many new materials is also being tested, the previous infantry armor seems to be powerful, can withstand the impact of the cavalry, but in fact, it can't withstand the opponent's armor-piercing cone and the orthodox divine arm bow of the Western Xia, and the infantry armor is extremely bulky, once it is deployed, it can hardly be effectively maneuvered, and it will become a live target for the armor-breaking cone and the divine arm bow of the Western Xia.

As for now, it is not so easy to break through new materials, they have to have a stronger process of "spears......

Little Tiger Head is the most well-behaved, riding a big dog around with Xiao Song Xiang all day long, watching the big head soldiers train, and when she sees a mini trebuchet throwing a bomb and bursting in the distance, she will applaud.

"Here you go." Tiger Head Jade would give the best performing artilleryman a toffee every time, and then rode the yellow dog to play elsewhere.

Out of the big head soldier, the little tiger head even cares about Gao Fangping's affairs, she sometimes sticks to Gao Fangping's arms and says: "Now the eldest mother's belly should be very big, 'Xiao Fangping' will be born in a few months, I heard that it is not good for the father to be around when the child is born." Why don't you write back and order Xiao Fangping to come out a year late? ”

Gao Fangping gave him a violent shudder and said, "That's called Xiao Xiao Gao, not Xiao Fangping, where have I heard my son and his father's name be the same." ”

"Oh." Liang Hongyu nodded weakly.

Then Gao Fangping couldn't laugh anymore, brother is in charge of the heavens and the earth, can he still care about when Xiao Xiaogao will come out? Really......

It was not until Children's Day that Zhang Weiyi delivered the first batch of qualified compressed military rations to Gao Fangping.

Gao Fangping was also beside him when the grain and grass officer was counting, and every time he recorded a penny, Gao Fangping also talked in his heart, just because of him, our army was delayed in Hezhong Mansion for two more days.

Anyway, you can't enter the army without military rations, since you have waited, Gao Fangping really gave everyone a Children's Day. Because in addition to the tiger head jade, many of the "battlefield Red Crosses" who fought with the army were children. Gao Fangping gave them a battlefield festival.

On 2 June, the garrison Si went out of Hezhongfu, took the waterway, saved the troops' leg strength, and went straight to Longmen along the Hancheng line.

"Newspaper--" The messenger covered in blood arrived close and handed over the latest military report.

"Master Yue Wen, the magistrate of Xie County, refused to evacuate the people and refused to surrender. When the Western Xia army was broken, Lord Yue Wen ordered the people to give up resistance, but Yue Zhixian killed his wife and children with his own hands, and then committed suicide, so far...... The fall of Jiezhou. ”

When Liang Hongying read out this military report, her eyes were a little red and she felt very sad.

Gao Fangping's face was blue. The fall of Jiezhou is inevitable, this is Gao Fangping's order, but after the evacuation of personnel and materials in some areas, Gao Fangping really has no civil power, so I don't know if the stubborn Yue Zhixian is dissatisfied with Gao Fangping with this death?

This man can't be easily praised or dispraised, he is a backbone figure on the verge of death, a stubborn conservative. He is using his loyalty to the world, to the court, and indirectly impeaching Gao Fangping's strategy of non-resistance!

"The body should not be recovered!" Gao Fang said indifferently, "Yue Gong goes all the way, this mansion will reshape your body with mud, and send you to Beijing to enjoy the glory with the etiquette of a national scholar, assuming that I am not overthrown by your old stubborn corpse, I will definitely recover Xie Zhou one day to comfort your soul...... this old fool mallet, a few blind ......"

The solemn eulogy finally lasted not to the end, and Gao Fangping couldn't help but scold again.

The generals had a headache and continued on their way......
