Chapter 868: Clever Tricks (Ask for Subscription!) )
…
September 22, the autumnal equinox.
The climate in the south begins with this solar term before autumn.
In the north, it was already very cold, and it was even beginning to freeze.
Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, Wu Lan, Guo Hao, Li Yanxian and others sat together to discuss, how can they build the capital?
In the past month or so, Wu Jue and others have been desperate, and the casualties of the Eastern Route Army have even exceeded 70,000, which is a huge casualty that the Chinese army has never had in the past ten years, which makes Wu Jue and others feel distressed!
But what came down from above was a death order, and it had to be done.
The point is that an army of three or four hundred thousand can't defeat a city, and the proud Wu Jue and others can't afford to lose this person!
Therefore, Wu Jue said: "Let's talk about it, what else is there to do?" How will this battle be fought? ”
Guo Hao said: "We have almost used all the methods we can think of, but these golden people are like crazy, one after another, not a single step, and, according to the news from the secret agents, the grain, grass and armor in the capital are very sufficient, in my opinion...... I'm afraid we won't be able to beat Beijing in a short time. ”
Guo Hao has experienced a hundred battles, and he is definitely a general who grew up from the flames of war, and he is by no means the kind of person who easily admits defeat, so he can force Guo Hao to say the words "I can't beat Shangjing in a short time", which shows how difficult it is to fight in Shangjing.
Wu Lan gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how difficult it is, we must beat it down, otherwise, our previous efforts will all be in vain, and so many brothers will all die in vain!" ”
Han Shizhong said leisurely: "You have to fight, but the question is how to fight?" ”
As soon as Han Shizhong said this, everyone fell silent.
It can be seen that Wu Jue and others were really stumped by going to the capital.
Actually, this is also normal.
Today, there are more than a million people in the capital.
Moreover, unlike the original Bianliang City, the nomads were able to fight, regardless of men, women, and children.
In other words, there are now a million in the capital city, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of capable soldiers.
Be.
Bows and arrows are inferior in range and destructive power to muskets.
However, when defending the city, the gap between them became less important - the Chinese soldiers who used muskets had to take the initiative to shorten the distance between them and the city in order to capture the capital, so that the fast rate of fire of the bow and arrow had an advantage.
Some people may ask, doesn't the Chinese army have a conscience cannon, a flying god thunder and other sharp weapons, why don't they use artillery bombardment?
Boom.
The various cannons of the Chinese army that can use black powder are not powerful enough to destroy the city wall, and if you want to destroy the city wall with black powder, you must reach a certain amount.
And in order to do this, you have to be close to the city walls.
In this way, the Chinese soldiers had to come to the edge of the city again.
However, this is very difficult to do - as long as the Chinese soldiers get close to the city edge, they have to face the overwhelming rain of arrows attack, and wait until the Chinese soldiers pay a great price to let the soldiers with explosives bags rush to the city wall, and immediately there will be golden cavalry rushing out of the secret door to kill these soldiers with explosives bags, some Jin people see that they can't stop the Chinese soldiers from approaching the city wall, or see that there are siege machinery to protect the Chinese soldiers, they will even use the explosives they picked up to die with the Chinese soldiers.
Recently, the weather has become colder, and the Han people in the city have offered a plan for Wanyan Wushu - watering and building the city.
As a result, all the people in Shangjing City went out to pour water on the city wall, which made the city wall of Shangjing several times thicker out of thin air.
This undoubtedly destroyed the confidence of Wu Jue and others in attacking the city.
On the contrary, the people in Shangjing City are becoming more and more confident in defending Shangjing City!
Just when Wu Jue and the others were at a loss, someone came to report: "Generals, Yu Yunwen, the head of the transfer department, asked to see, and he said that His Majesty asked him to send the generals a plan to break the city." ”
When Wu Jue and the others heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”
Not long after, Yu Yunwen walked in from outside.
At this time, Yu Yunwen was just a junior and a late student, so in front of Wu Jue and Han Shizhong, who had been famous for a long time, he lowered his posture and said: "Hello generals, the lower officials are ordered by His Majesty to send the generals a plan to break the city." ”
Guo Hao was the most anxious, so he was the first to ask, "What's the plan?" ”
Yu Yunwen said: "Your Majesty said that the law does not pass on the six ears, so the generals also ask to come over with their ears." ”
Wu Jue and the others glanced at each other without a trace, and then the five of them came over with their own swords and swords.
Seeing Wu Jue and others being so careful, Yu Yunwen felt funny, and thought: "No one succeeds casually, but their caution is what ordinary people don't have." ”
The good thing is that -
Yu Yunwen really came to send Li Yan's tricks.
After Yu Yunwen said this in the ears of Wu Jue and the others, Li Yan's eyes widened, and Li Yanxian said in disbelief: "This is true, the imperial court has really developed a divine object that can fly to the sky?" ”
Yu Yunwen said: "The generals have been fighting recently, so they don't know about airships, in fact, airships have been born for a while, and many people in Yanjing have witnessed manned airship flights, including Xiaguan." ”
Guo Hao exclaimed: "Good girl, how does the official's head look like it, even this kind of artifact can be thought of!" ”
Han Shizhong was both reprimanding and reminding Guo Hao: "Be full of words, be cautious, and discuss the official's family in vain, so you are not afraid that the official will impeach you?" ”
When Guo Hao heard this, he was a little embarrassed and said: "I didn't mean it, but I was too shocked, so I was a little quick." ”
Yu Yunwen defused Guo Hao's embarrassment and said: "What General Guo said, in fact, is not wrong, the head of the official family is indeed extraordinary, we have all seen Kong Ming lantern, but we don't dare to think that it can carry people to the sky, and the official family not only dares to think, but also sends people to try and study, so there is such a divine object born." ”
Guo Hao hurriedly said: "Yes, that's what I meant." ”
Li Yanxian also said: "The ability of the official family, in fact, there is no need to say much, if there is no official family, how can there be a train, where there is a textile machine, how can there be an advanced and prosperous Dazhong!" ”
Wu Jue and the others all nodded.
At this time, Wu Lan was a little itchy and said, "Master Yu, can you take us to meet the airship?" I want to see with my own eyes what a fetish that can fly into the sky looks like. ”
Hearing Wu Ling say this, Wu Jue and the others were also a little itchy, wanting to see what the airship was like?
Seeing this, Yu Yunwen said, "Then the marshals, please come with the officials." ”
When Wu Jue and the others heard this, they walked out of the big tent with Yu Yunwen.
The people rode south for a while, and saw hundreds of huge iron chests coming from afar.
Wu Jue and the others wondered, "Is this an airship?" ”
