Chapter 198: Ultra-long-range bombs

After two hours of discussion, the people in the Great Tent came up with two more opinions.

A group of Song people, whether it is Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, or the children of the Tokyo homeless people, although their growth experiences are different, but they can't give up the inherent compatriot feelings, their point of view is to save, but how to save 5,000 women and children alive, there is no perfect way for the time being.

The other group were the Romans who were absolutely loyal to Li Nan, and from a neutral point of view, Docot and Spartacus and others obviously had a more rational view of the matter.

If Li Changjie's conditions are agreed, then Li Nan needs to lead his army out of the mountains and forests to fight against the Jiaozhi army in the plains, even if he has a strong long-range attack ability, but his own army will inevitably have a lot of damage.

Li Changjie and Jiaozhi Emperor Li Renzong didn't care about the life or death of the slave soldiers, as long as Li Nan could be defeated and driven out of Guangyuan Prefecture, it didn't matter if all the more than 40,000 slaves died, because they could continue to plunder from the Great Song Dynasty, Zhancheng, Zhenla and other places.

Jiaozhi people don't care, but Li Nan cares, he is now short of people and time.

There is a saying that the more you know, the more painful it is, and now only Li Nan in the entire Great Song Dynasty knows about the tragic events that will happen in a few years, but he has no way to let others know.

Zhao Ji, who was obsessed with beautiful women and calligraphy and painting, did not believe it, Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao, Tong Guan and other important ministers who were busy fighting for power and profit did not believe it, and even Emperor Tianzuo of Liao did not believe that a few years later, a small Jurchen tribe in the north would make any waves.

Li Nan now not only has to be cautious and try to delay the rebellion known to the Song Dynasty as much as possible, but also expand his territory as soon as possible, accumulate strength and prepare for battle, and also have a bastard system that will pull him to other worlds at any time and take life and death risks, which is also a huge pressure.

As Li Nan closed his eyes and pondered, the people in the big tent gradually quieted down, and they all looked at him, waiting for him to finally make a decision.

Li Nan, who was sitting in the chair, suddenly remembered a movie "Saving Private Ryan" he had seen in his previous life, which tells the story of eight soldiers who go behind enemy lines to save a soldier.

Isn't it unreasonable to save one of eight, to save an unmasked stranger on that battlefield full of artillery fire, and to gamble with the lives of eight brave and fearless soldiers?

It is estimated that in reality, there will not be any commander who can make such a desperate decision, but only make a decision for his own peace of mind and disregard the lives of his subordinates.

War is not a fairy tale, war has no sympathy.

The movie is a fictional black fairy tale, but the meaning expressed in the film, Li Nan understands that the eight people to save is not just a soldier, but also a hope.

The Chinese people pay attention to orthodoxy, Li Nan is now relying on his personal charm to gather everyone under his command, if he chooses to be rational and cold-blooded indifferent, then he may lose more.

After opening his eyes, Li Nan looked around at everyone and said seriously: "Let's go save people!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhishen, Hu Bing, Li Chen and others showed a smile of relief, as if they felt that they had not seen the wrong person; The cautious Lin Chong was slightly worried; The Romans, Dorcott and Spartacus, hesitated slightly, but nodded firmly.

--------------

The Indochina Peninsula is high in the north and low in the south, mountainous and plateau, and belongs to the tropical monsoon climate, which is full of dense rainforests.

Now outside the mountain pass leading to Guangyuan Prefecture, all the trees and weeds have been emptied by the Jiaozhi army stationed here for more than a month, and even the two low mountains where Li Nanjun was stationed have been cut down by countless Jiaozhi slave soldiers with a large number of casualties.

According to the agreement with Li Changjie, 20,000 infantry regiments armed with big shields and short swords on their waists and hips slowly walked out of the mountain road and set up a formation in the open space.

After the appearance of the infantry regiment, there were archers equipped with crossbows with divine arms, hundreds of catapults, and finally the former guard knight, surrounded by Li Nan, who was wearing golden armor, walked out.

Seeing that all the Song army appeared, Li Changjie, under the protection of the guards holding a giant shield, came to the front of the two armies, and laughed in a slightly sharp voice: "Hahaha, General Li Nan, since you have been a guest in Jiaozhi, this is the first time we have met!" ”

Li Nan, who also came to the front of the battle, ignored the ridicule of the dead eunuch, pointed to the five thousand women and children kneeling on the ground at the front of the Jiaozhi battle array, and said in a deep voice: "I have already gone to war as agreed, I hope you don't break your promise in front of so many people, and send these women and children to a safe place first." ”

Li Nan was forced to come out, in fact, it was beyond Li Changjie's expectations, and for the time being, they lost their use value, not to mention that the five thousand Song slaves were also a lot of money, and Li Changjie didn't want to kill for no reason.

"Good! If you say anything, I will order them to be taken aside. ”

Five thousand women and children wept and were escorted by the slave soldiers to the rear of the Jiaozhi army and imprisoned, the air on the battlefield became solemn, and the two main generals, Li Nan and Li Changjie, also retreated to the rear army under the protection of their personal guards.

As soon as Li Nan withdrew to the Chinese army, he shouted: "Shoot!" ”

After receiving Li Nan's order, a nine-meter-long giant catapult that needed to be dragged by 300 people in the rear formation aimed at Li Changjie in the Jiaozhi camp and fired a lighted fuse, weighing 40 kilograms, and filled with gunpowder.

In the eyes of all the soldiers of the two armies, this huge explosive bag flew across a distance of 500 meters and flew towards Li Changjie, who was inexplicably frightened and fled backwards.

"Boom!"

There was an earth-shattering bang, and a blazing wave appeared in the dense military formation of the Jiaozhi people, accompanied by an earth-shattering loud sound, black smoke rose into the air, and red blood splashed everywhere, sprinkled on the bodies of other soldiers......

Li Nan's troops, which were hundreds of meters away, had already been reminded by the generals, and they had already squatted on the ground and covered their ears, and after seeing the enemy's tragic situation, they felt the shock of this weapon, and they were also glad that they were in the correctness of the camp.

Li Changjie, who was not far from the explosion site, did not die, and was blocked by dozens of loyal guards before the explosives package hit the ground.

The bloodied guards pulled away the dead body that was pressing on Li Changjie's body in a panic and rescued him with all hands and feet, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw hundreds of soldiers operating the giant trebuchet and began to drag again.

"Protect me! Hurry up and run backwards! ”

The grizzled Li Changjie now has no demeanor like a military god, and he yells wildly.

While continuing to flee to the rear under the protection of the guards, the frightened Li Changjie finally regained some of his senses and ordered all the soldiers to start attacking on all fronts.

The cochin slave soldiers, armed with bamboo spears and bamboo platoons, became cannon fodder to consume the enemy's strength and arrows, and Li Nanjun's catapults and archers also shot at the fastest speed.

Li Changjie, who originally wanted to command the Chinese army, was frightened by the explosive bag that came from a long distance, and under the protection of hundreds of personal guards, he fled to the rear of the army before stopping.

Before he figured out the range limit of the Song army, Li Changjie definitely didn't dare to step forward again.

Li Changjie sat down with his back against a big tree, took a few sips of the wine handed by the guard, and then said: "Order, General Ben will give orders here." ”

"Yes, General, uh......"

Before the elite guard in fine iron armor could finish his sentence, he was impaled in the chest by an iron spear flying from a distance.
