…

The front foot of the Liangshan army entered the cloud land, and Gao Yu's back foot led ten knots to attack Shuibo Liangshan.

This time, Gao Yu, who wanted to take revenge and make meritorious contributions, made a bloody investment, not only brought ten knots, but also brought two people - Liu Menglong and Niu Bangxi.

There is a naval army in Jinling Jiankang Mansion, which is called Liu Menglong as the head commander.

It is said that when Liu Menglong was born, his mother dreamed that a black dragon flew into her belly.

When Liu Menglong grew up, he was good at understanding water, and he had meritorious service in fighting thieves in the Xichuan Gorge River, and was promoted to the commander of the army, commanding 15,000 sailors and 500 boats.

Gao Yu deliberately transferred Liu Menglong and this naval army together with all the ships under his jurisdiction.

Gao Yu also sent Captain Niu Bangxi to search for boats along the river and in the river, and then brought them to Jeju for use in the attack on Supo Yangsan.

In addition, Gao Yu also has a pair of fierce generals with the courage of ten thousand people, one is called Dang Shiying, and the other is called Dang Shixiong.

These two were brothers, and both became commanders, and Gao Yu ordered the two of them to screen out 15,000 people from the forbidden army.

In total, Gao Yu brought a total of 130,000 horses to attack Shuibo Liangshan this time.

And yet—

Although Gao Yu was very well prepared, he was still blocked by Ruan Xiaoer for more than a month outside the water park by relying on the water park natural danger.

It turned out that Liangshan Bing Cao transferred Shan Jinglong, Zhu Neng, Hu Jun, Liu Heihu, Zu Qiu, Wen Ren Shichong, Cheng Gui, Zhai Yuan, Qiao Zheng, Xie Fu and other water experts to Ruan Xiaoer, with these water experts to assist Ruan Xiaoer in guarding Liangshanbo, how could Gao Yu take a step beyond Lei Chi?

Seeing this, Wang Huan said to Gao Yu: "Zhang Xianggong has a lot of strange people under him, why don't you teach him to attack this Liangshanbo together?" ”

Gao Yu didn't want Uncle Zhang to rob him of his credit, so he didn't let Uncle Zhang encircle and suppress Shuibo Liangshan with him, but now seeing that this Shuibo Liangshan is not what he thinks, he can only share some credit to Uncle Zhang.

……

On this day, Ruan Xiaoer brought two people and three or four hundred people to see Wu Lan.

As soon as they met, Ruan Xiaoer said to Wu Lan: "Erlang, I brought two more heroes with you. ”

Ruan Xiaoer is Li Yan's brother when he started his family, and he is also a general who belongs to the second in the navy, and his two brothers, one is in command of the peninsula navy, and the other is the first personal guard around Li Yan, how dare Wu Lan support him?

Wu Lan immediately stepped forward and said: "If you can let the second uncle personally introduce you, you must be a good man who stands up to the sky." ”

Ruan Xiaoer smiled and said: "Erlang is still so good at talking, come, I'll introduce these two heroes to you." ”

After finishing speaking, Ruan Xiaoer pointed to the two men beside him and said, "The two of them are the two leaders of Huowancheng and Wang Liang of Zigai Mountain, both of whom are strong in martial arts. ”

Wu Lan listened to the words and looked at the two, and found that these two were young heroes, Huowancheng was burly, Wang Liang was strong, and the weapons were all money, leopard tail, wrought iron, steel square painting halberd, and the end was majestic.

Wu Xuan said: "When our Shuibo Liangshan was surrounded and suppressed by the Song army, the two of you can still come to vote, they must be the most affectionate and sexual heroes, I think most of the governors will not treat you badly." ”

Huo Wancheng said: "I wanted to come to the Metropolitan Governor earlier, but at that time, the Metropolitan Governor had already been recruited, and the two of us and those faint monarchs and ministers swore that they would not stand together, so they did not come to vote, and now the Metropolitan Governor is the imperial court and the Han people to recover Yanyun's hometown, but those faint monarchs and ministers sent a large army to attack the hometown of the Metropolitan Governor, and it is impossible for the Metropolitan Governor to be one with those faint monarchs and ministers, so they came to vote." ”

Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang were originally the leaders of Yuanyang Valley, and the two leaders of Yuanyang Valley, Qianzhangkeng Xu Pingsheng and Bingshan Han Tongyin, provoked Yan Shude, the general under Zhang Shuye, so the village was destroyed, and Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang took advantage of the chaos to escape.

In that battle, Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang's families were all lost to the official army, so that the two hated the official army to the bone, so they swore not to stand with the court.

Later, Huowancheng and Wang Liang occupied Zigai Mountain and Luocao, and gathered four or five hundred like-minded people in one or two years.

Recently, I heard that the imperial court sent a large army to attack Li Yan's hometown, and thinking that Li Yan could no longer have a relationship with the imperial court, Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang raised the village to vote.

Wu Lan said: "Zhao Song Junchen disregarded morality, and took advantage of the fact that the Metropolitan Governor led the army north to recover the homeland of the Han people for them, and sent 130,000 troops to attack our Shuibo Liangshan to dig the roots of the Metropolitan Governor, which is really despicable and shameless, how can the Metropolitan Governor coexist with these villains again?" ”

Wang Liang said: "The general is worried about the 130,000 army? ”

Wu Lan said: "Don't worry, that's lying to the two of you, after all, I am outnumbered...... However, you two can rest assured, Wu is by no means a greedy person who is afraid of death, and he will fight to the death with these villains to fulfill his loyalty! ”

Huo Wancheng said: "General Hugh should be pessimistic, although the enemy is outnumbered, it is not without a plan to defeat the enemy. ”

Although he felt that Huo Wancheng's words were arrogant, Wu Lan did not show it at all, but asked with a very sincere attitude: "I don't know what kind of strategy Brother Huo has to break the enemy?" ”

Huo Wancheng said: "I have a military advisor to come with him, he is a strange person, he is a native of the Atlantic Europa, his name is Bai Valhan, he is the son of the skillful master of the other country, he can build war and attack equipment, he can make a kind of chariot, can be called invincible, according to him, this car can run rampant in the world, we came to vote this time, we brought twenty cars, the white army division is in the back, and it will arrive immediately." ”

As he was talking, he saw several large ships approaching from a distance, and there were one or twenty strange cars on these large ships.

These strange cars are each, one zhang four feet wide, two zhang four feet deep, three zhang tall and short, three wheels, eight horses, one wheel, three layers in the middle, the upper layer of big guns, the middle layer of strong crossbows, the next layer of spears and hooks, and there are four mountain wheels behind the car.

Wu Lan and the others looked surprised!

Soon the big ship came to a halt, and then a man disembarked from the boat that had taken the lead.

This person, of medium height, pink skin, deep eyes and high nose, blue eyes and yellow hair, wears a bucket-like shallow-brimmed hat, and wears a big red and small tweed bell, not like a human and a ghost.

After Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang introduced Bai Valhan to Wu Lan, Li Yan specially sent Wu Lan's military advisor Zu Shiyuan said: "I heard Huo and Wang talk about Mr.'s chariot, and then glanced at Mr.'s chariot in a hurry. It's not that Xiaosheng is talkative, if it is a battle against a thousand miles of flat place on the desert outside the side court, the best chance of winning is to use the Lu bus, but now in the interior, the mountains and forests are hidden, and the road is seven high and eight low, even if there is a plain, it is only ten miles wide, and the Lu bus is also used in these places, isn't it a big deal? ”

Bai Varhan said: "The old gentleman only knows the benefits and disadvantages of your Chinese Lu bus, but he doesn't know that although the Lu bus is good, how can he get my chariot?" My chariot is called Seertuxi, which translates to the word 'Ben Lei' in your Chinese characters. The Nalu bus has four wheels and six horses, four wheels, the horse is in front, the car is behind, the turning is the most stupid, and the place where the four flats and eight stability are good to gallop, and the horse is in front, the most easily injured, a horse is damaged, the whole car is useless, and it falls down when it encounters a small trench, and can no longer be supported. How can it be compared to my thunder chariot, but the car is in front, the horse is behind, the horse drives in the flat place, and the car leads the horse in the difficult place. Three wheels and eight horses, only one wheel, the beauty is only on the small wheel, the most clever turn. There were boards under the chariot and pointed feet on the sides of the wheels, so that even an eight-foot-wide trench and a five-foot-high horse could not stop him. After the hub, two iron grates were dragged to prevent the enemy soldiers from scattering iron thistles and rubbing the horse's feet, and swept away when they met the iron grate. If the horse is turned around when the army is collected, the horse can still be driven backwards and backwards. The bows and bolts were still pointing outward, and the enemy could not pursue them. And when they encamped wherever they were, they made their chariots into a wall, and the men and horses rested in them, and inside the chariots were tents, which were better than walls of brass and iron. Only the high mountains cannot be climbed, and the mixed forests cannot be entered, and the rest can be reached. So how can the Lu bus get in time? ”

After that, Bai Valhan instructed his subordinates to drive a Benlei car over and show it to Wu Luan, Zu Shiyuan and others.

After a while, the wheels sounded, and Bai Valehan's men drove a thunder cart over.

Wu Luan, Zu Shiyuan and others looked at it and saw it:

The front of the chariot was carved with the head of a giant beast, painted in multicolored colors, and two eyes the size of a bucket went straight to the upper layer of the chariot, which were used as two cannon holes.

The huge mouth opened, and the middle sergeant was in the mouth, and crossbow arrows could shoot out from the mouth.

The next layer is under the chin of the giant beast, with six spears and four hooks as whiskers, and the strong men with hook spears inside are all wearing iron armor.

The surroundings of the car are nailed with raw cowhide and mushroom nails, and human hair is padded inside, and the inner layer of hair is covered with cotton paper, so guns and ballistas must not be injured.

Behind the car was a quadruple and eight horses were driven.

There is a small Western-style building on the forehead of the beast on the car, and there is a person standing in it, holding a command flag, which is the eyes and ears of the whole army.

Bai Valhan also instructed people to open the car, and asked Wu Luan, Zu Shiyuan and others to look at the machine inside.

The next layer of hook spears and the middle layer of crossbows are needless to say, but the two guns on the upper layer are very profitable.

Bharhan explained: "The name of the gun is 'Falling Box Lianzhu Gun', and there is a bronze gun on it, which can hold 40 guns and 40 pieces of lead. However, the gunpowder and lead in the copper pot were added enough, and the gunpowder in the lower gun door was ignited, and the gunpowder and lead in the copper pot could slip into the gun pipe and bombard outward, and the sound of filling the stool gun was endless, until the forty guns were finished. If forty guns are not enough, they only care about adding gunpowder and lead to the copper pot, even if it is a thousand sounds, one after another. It is more anti-hot frying of the gun, and a large and small pot is prepared under the gun, and it is frequently watered. The gun could shoot more than a thousand paces away, and it all came out of the eye socket of the giant beast. There were four more wheels behind the car, and the stones flew out. The size of the stones varies, the small ones fly far, the large ones fly closer, and there are hundreds of steps to make. ”

After listening to and reading it, Wu Luan, Zu Shiyuan and others were all shocked to the point of being incomprehensible.

Each of these thunder carts had a total of 30 people: six people used guns on the upper floor, eight people used crossbows on the middle floor, ten people used hooked spears on the lower floor, five people rode horses on foot behind the car, and one person held the command flag in the Western building.

Sergeants don't need to train hard, as long as they know how to cooperate, they will use it.

If the advance and retreat can be done in an orderly manner, the car will start, and it will clearly be a land fox, with the power of thunder and lightning, and the trend of pouring the sea and discharging the mountains.

The more Wu Luan, Zu Shiyuan and others learned about this thunder car, the more they felt that this thunder car was ingenious and powerful.

Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang saw it in their eyes and enjoyed it in their hearts, with such qualifications, how could their future be limited?

Really!

As Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang expected, Wu Luan, Zu Shiyuan and the others immediately prepared a wine feast for them after being shocked, and invited Bai Valhan to sit in the first place, change the cups, and drink happily.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zu Shiyuan began to explore the bottom of Bai Valhan, "How fortunate is it that the governor of my family can get such a talent as Mr., I don't know how many years Mr. has been away from your country?" ”

Bai Valhan said: "Although I am a Westerner, I was born in China. My ancestor was originally a native of the Yuanqu country, and because he went to trade in the country of Europa, he lived in the Atlantic. Recently, because the king had a good relationship with China and had business dealings, my father and mother also went to China, living in Macao, Guangzhou, and gave birth to me. My father's name is dumb, and he is a very famous master in Western countries, and he passed away five years ago. I learned my father's skills, and the people of Quang Nam knew everything, and later the Quang Nam Department paid me tribute to the official family and made some exquisite playthings for the official family. I grew up in China, so I can save Chinese etiquette, language, and customs. The official family loves my craft, but how can I ask for too many high-ranking officials and nobles in Tokyo, and I don't have enough assistants, I can't supply enough, and some people slander me, saying that the gadgets I make are useless and boring, and I am addicted to playthings and lose my mind, so the official family sent me back to Guangnan to be managed, and I was subjected to the pickled anger of the bad officials all the way. I happened to pass by the Great Yuling Mountains, and when I encountered a fire, the second brother Wang came to rob me, and killed the messenger to take me up the mountain. I got acquainted with Brother Huo when I was in Quang Nam, and when I saw that I couldn't go back, I fell grass with him. Unexpectedly, the officials and soldiers pursued tightly and could not be accommodated, so the second brother Huo and Wang abandoned the cottage and joined me in the Yuanyang Valley of Tokyo. Not long after that, he was broken by the township bravery, and he couldn't live in peace, but today he was fortunate to go to Liangshanbo and voted for the governor, and he was finally able to settle down. I'm just a rough man, but I don't know how to fight, and I can only build some offensive equipment. I also have the method of sinking the snail boat, the most advantageous water battle, and I will apply it to the Metropolitan Governor in the future. ”

Everyone praised Bai Valhan's talent, but Zu Shiyuan was silent.

Seeing this, Wu Lan said, "What is the military advisor thinking?" ”

Zu Shiyuan said: "I'm thinking, how to break this thunder car." ”

Zu Shiyuan then shook his head, and said: "This car is wonderful, I can't even imagine that it can be broken in the slightest, and this car can really run rampant in the world with the tricks of soldiers...... Twenty is too little, I'm afraid that if there are no three or five hundred, it will be difficult to change the relationship between us and the Song army. ”

Bai Valhan said: "This car is a way for me to think of a way to crack it, as for the number is too small, I have no way, these twenty cars or I and thirty apprentices took nearly two years to build, and it costs a lot, the fire and the second brother Wang's savings for many years are all on these twenty chariots." ”

Wu Lan asked: "If you are equipped with some skilled craftsmen and give you sufficient materials, can you rush to produce three or two hundred vehicles within a month or two?" ”

Bai Varhan said: "As long as there are five or seven hundred skilled craftsmen of iron, wood, stone, paper, lacquer, etc., and sufficient materials, I will build three or two hundred more of them within two months." ”

After thinking for a while, Bai Varhan said again: "Although this chariot can be built, even the hook spear and bow and crossbow in the chariot are also easy, only the two Lianzhu guns are not idle, but they have to be carefully made by skilled craftsmen, and they are slightly rough, so they are not suitable, even if there are more craftsmen, they will not be able to build three or two hundred in two months." ”

Wu Lan said: "It's okay, you can use a repeater crossbow instead, supplemented by a horse infantry army, and you can still compete with the Song army." ”

……

……

The big chapter of the two-in-one, that's all for today.

Well...... After thinking about it, I still have a few words to explain.

From the functional point of view, this Benlei Army is very similar to a tank, but its power is livestock, which cannot be compared with a real tank.

But this Ben Mine car can also be said to be a reasonable imagination of Yu Wanchun's armored vehicles.

This is the best thing about "Dang Kou Zhi", and it is also the only thing where Yu Wanchun is stronger than Shi Nai'an and Xu Guanzhong, of course, this has a lot to do with the different periods they are in.

I actually thought about it for a long time on the question of whether to take out the Ben Thunder Car and the Shen Luo Boat.

In the end, I decided to take them out.

After all, the protagonist is a person from the next generation, and he is bound to build some advanced weapons, because the vision is there.

And although this Benlei car looks like a tank, it is actually based on the Lu bus invented by Jiang Ziya of the Zhou Dynasty, which is actually not excessive.

As for the characteristics of the "falling box and bead gun" equipped on the Ben Mine car, it is obvious that this description is a machine gun.

In fact, the Song Dynasty already had a comparative musket, as well as a flamethrower (I wrote about it earlier).

During the Song-Jin confrontation, the development of firearms was actually very fast, and many powerful firearms appeared, and more than 100 years later, in the Yuan Dynasty, firearms developed even faster.

So, I don't think it's surprising that muskets appeared.

Of course, the machine gun is a little bit too old, so I put a little more obstacle on it (making it very difficult to make) and don't make it look too exaggerated.

Finally, a little spoiler, I have an important purpose for putting White Varhan and Benleiche on stage now.

Okay, that's all.
