Chapter 20: Victory
Yu Wenwen looked at Shi Wansui, who had been recruited in front of him, and was a little dazed, and was a little incredulous by his sudden good luck: Shi Wansui, a fierce general who left a name in history, Shi Wansui, one of the four famous generals in the early Sui Dynasty, was recruited by him.
He almost cried with joy and looked up to the sky and sighed: 'God has eyes, I have burned almost 100,000 yuan in this battle, and I finally have a good harvest!' ’
With the historical knowledge of later generations, Yu Wenwen knew Shi Wansui's way of coming: he was good at riding and shooting, he was good at reading military books, and he followed his father to join the army at the age of fifteen to serve the Great Zhou.
According to the original historical trajectory, Shi Wansui was implicated in the rebellion of the general Erzhu Ji, and was dismissed by Emperor Wen of Sui and Yang Jian, and rushed to Dunhuang as a soldier.
Then the two good friends often happily went deep into the Turkic hinterland for hundreds of miles to rob, and the force value was so high that no one dared to stop the Turkic tribes who had always gone to the Central Plains to fight the grass valley, and Shi Wansui used the behavior of constantly robbing the Turkic tribes to start the name of "Dunhuang soldiers".
Later, the Sui army counterattacked the Turks, and Dou Rong, the brother-in-law of Emperor Wen of Sui, was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and Shi Wansui recommended himself to serve with the army before he arrived at the barracks.
The Sui army commander Dou Rongding and the Turkic Apo Khan were heartbroken by the casualties of his men, so it was agreed that the two sides would pick a warrior to come out and cut the winner, and the result of this heads-up was decided, Shi Wansui as a warrior of the Sui army, as soon as the Turkic warriors came on the field, the Turkic warriors were killed in seconds, and Apo Khan was shocked by his bravery and did not dare to fight again, and then the two sides negotiated peace.
In the twentieth year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty, the Turkic Bujia Khan led his troops south to attack the Central Plains and collided with the main force of the Sui army.
There are many glorious deeds, anyway, they are very powerful, and the key point is that Shi Wanzai was one of the famous generals who were qualified to enjoy the martial arts temple in the Tang and Song dynasties.
Yuwenwen, the wind fanned by the butterfly, blew Shi Wansui, who was supposed to go to Dunhuang as a soldier to rob the Turkic tribes, to the mouth of the two rivers in this Jingxiang land, and then took advantage of the east wind of the Anzhou army to defeat the imperial army Yuwenwen recruited him in a daze.
"I was punished for my crimes, I was originally going to be sent to the Western Regions Frontier, but it happened that the army went south, thinking about making meritorious service and atoning for my crimes," Shi Wansui took the initiative to break the embarrassing situation when he saw that Yu Wenwen didn't speak for a long time.
Yuwen Wen glanced at Yang Ji and found that this 'same kind' was surprised that the big man who was still being 'molested' by him turned out to be a famous general in the history books, and Yang Ji, who always looked like a master outside the world on weekdays, was now also dumbfounded.
He didn't want to say anything about the 'acceptance speech', nodded and asked Yang Ji to 'take over' the other party: "General Shi will follow Team Master Yang for the time being." ”
Shi Wansui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the other party calling him a general: "It's already white below, and it's really shameful for the commander to be called like this." ”
"It's okay, the big husband can bend and stretch!" Yu Wenwen knows some of Shi Wansui's deeds, this guy can fight and lead troops to win battles, but he is not perfect and has shortcomings: he is slightly greedy for money, and he has insight on the battlefield but is too rough as an official.
Shi Wansui joined the army at the age of fifteen and followed his father to the battlefield to fight with the Zhou army and the Qi army. Changing clothes meant running away, and at that time, the two armies were fighting on a par, so others thought it was strange, so he said that the Zhou army would be defeated in this battle.
Then the Zhou army was really defeated, and Shi Wansui and left and right slipped out of the battlefield to save their lives because they changed their clothes early, which shows that their battlefield observation is strong.
The Sui Dynasty pacified the Chen State and unified the Central Plains, Shi Wansui rose step by step with military merits, the barbarians in Yunnan rebelled, he led the troops to crusade all the way like a bamboo, the barbarian handsome Fu Hui surrendered, in order to save his life, he took out a large number of treasures and bribes, Shi Wan Sui 'smiled' the treasures, let the Fu Hui stay in the local area, instead of escorting the capital.
Maybe it was because things were too rough and leaked the news, when Shi Wansui passed through Yizhou on the way back to the army, Shi Wansui's treasures were targeted by Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, to be 'divided', and I don't know what Shi Wansui thought, so he threw all the treasures into the river to scatter in two, Yang Xiu didn't say anything on his face, but because of this, he was 'worried' about this Shi Wansui, who didn't know what to do.
In the second year, the handsome and rebellious, the king of Shu, Yang Xiu, took the opportunity to report to his father that Shi Wansui had taken bribes, and as a result, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian was furious and wanted to cut people, and later after persuasion, he was reduced to the people, and only after a year was he restored to the official title.
But Shi Wansui still didn't know how to fight in the official fight, and finally provoked the jealous and jealous minister Yang Su, Emperor Wen of Sui just abolished the crown prince Yang Yong, who was in an extremely irritable mood, but was stirred up by Yang Su's fluttering words and stirred up the anger in his heart, and Shi Wansui, who came to complain about his comrades' achievements, clicked.
Looking at this man who is proficient in combat but not in official fighting, Yu Wenwen feels that he is a little condescending to follow him: "General Shi, my father's account under the head of Anzhou is at the time of employing people, it is better to "
Before Yu Wenwen finished speaking, Shi Wansui saluted: "The commander of the army is magnanimous and spares his next life, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”
"Lord Lang, Lord Lang!" Yuwen 15 led 300 cavalry to ride forward and shouted loudly, he completed the task assigned by Yuwen Wen to protect the Chinese army and came back to his life, and by the way, he won the order to grab the head.
"How many times have you said that you have to call a military position on the battlefield, it is to unify the army!" Yuwen Wen reprimanded, and when he saw that Yuwen Fifteen Monkeys were anxious to follow the army to chase and kill the defeated Zhengnan Army, he remembered something important.
"What about the baby, you can only hand it over to grab someone's head, a total of twenty strokes, if the person is gone, you will hang the southeast branch!" Yu Wenwen decided to take the precaution and recover all the cavalry guns, these guys are crazy to grab people's heads, desperate to lose a few shots, it will be a big loss.
The other fire oil bombs and armor-type bullets are all one-time supplies, but the cavalry gun can be reused, although the failure rate is surprisingly high, but it can be repaired.
Seeing that the cavalry handed over the cavalry guns to Yu Wenwen in full swing, he was relieved, because there was no money for an extra gas tank, this pneumatic cavalry gun was a thing that would be dumb after fifteen rounds of lead bullets, so it was not needed now.
Yuwen Fifteen was very satisfied with the power of the cavalry guns, and when he heard Yuwen Wen ask how the effect was, he and his subordinates were talking about a lot of grandiose words: what guns were bad in the past, what guns were sharp and scared a horse to death, etc., it was really sensational.
"That is to say, the twenty or so horsemen in the front row of the enemy cavalry were knocked down by you, and then the cavalry behind them tripped, and a small part of the cavalry was knocked down by the white mist emitted by the trailer, and the rear was frightened to spin in place before our soldiers pounced on it and tore it alive?" Yu Wenwen knew the virtue of his confidant servant, so what he said hit the nail on the head.
Seeing Yuwen Fifteen's embarrassed hehe, he asked again, "How many rods are broken?" ”
"Only one shot is good"
"Go ahead, don't patronize cutting people and robbing some inexplicable ambush." Yu Wenwen waved his hand weakly and asked the cavalry to kill the enemy, and he leaned on the carriage depressedly thinking about the problem of the crooked technology tree.
'Twenty shots, fifteen buckshots each, and after one shot, I was broken nineteen shots. His mood was deeply hit, and the failure rate of the pneumatic cavalry was as high as 95% in actual combat, and I am afraid that it was still far from being practical.
With the help of hydraulic drilling beds, Lin Youdi and others spent a month successfully making a long pipe, so Yuwenwen asked them to hurry up and produce twenty rods for cavalry, and now after the actual battle, it seems that it is just a dream to install it on a large scale.
This thing is really a laboratory product, and it is impossible to use it on a large scale, mainly because the structure is complex and easy to fail, and there is no rubber, which causes air leakage, and the problem has always existed.
Because the gas tank leakage problem is surprisingly expensive to solve, all the A-bombs, trailers that can spray quicklime smoke are expensive and have poor reliability, and the A-bombs are lime bombs that rely on gas tanks to blow quicklime powder into fog, and the principle is similar to that of trailers.
There are restrictions on the use of type A bombs and fogging trailers, and they must be in the direction of the wind before they can be powerful, otherwise they will be blown by the wind, and they will finish themselves.
But Yuwenwen has no other way, this year, cavalry is king, Jingxiang is the land of Jingxiang, there are enemies on all sides, and there is no good horse-producing horse, and good horses can not be bought if you want to, so in order to improve your combat effectiveness in a short time, you can only spend money to buy 'hanging'.
Now it's good luck that there are no accidents on the way to transportation and storage, but luck will never be on his side, so after this battlefield test worth tens of thousands of yuan, Yuwen Wen came to a cruel conclusion: most of the 'high-tech' weapons are not suitable for batch production, and it is pointless to continue to burn money.
Looking at his own cavalry galloping by, he muttered to himself: "Why don't the cavalry have a horse-producing land?"
Yu Wenwen decided to stop making unstable fire oil bombs, anti-cavalry chariots and aerodynamic cavalry beads, and the heavy copper money was still used to buy horses to train cavalry, and tens of thousands of dollars were enough to train nearly a thousand cavalry, which was much more than the 'high-tech weapons' could do.
In the first few years, a usable horse is not necessarily a war horse, at least 10,000 yuan, that is, 15 yuan, it may not be a war horse, the general war horse is at least 20,000 yuan, that is, more than 20 yuan, and the high-grade war horse is hundreds of thousands, if it is the best thousand miles of horses, it is thousands of horses, and the kind of inferior horses of four or five thousand dollars cannot be used to make war horses.
According to the scale of a horse of 20 yuan, it is necessary to have a scale of 1,000 horses, and the cost of buying a horse is 20,000 yuan, taking into account the injury, battle damage, or what to play, galloping 300 miles day and night, and the cavalry tactics of assault must be matched with a side horse, that is, a spare horse, and a double of one to one, there must be a thousand side horses, a total of 2,000 horses, that is, 40,000 yuan.
This is only an upfront investment, each horse consumes a lot of corn per day, and the cavalry's military pay and food consumption must also be counted, and if you want to play with tall armored horses, it costs a lot of money just to have a pair of horse armor.
Money can be made, but war horses may not be bought with money, and the price of the horses mentioned above is still priceless for the Anzhou Army without a horse source, and if you don't want to buy 'hanging', you still have to find a way to get a horse.
"Commander, do we need to pursue?" The military lord Chen Wudi asked for instructions, he saw that his side had won and the situation was very good, but the commander of the army, Yu Wenwen, was distracted, so he was a little worried.
Yu Wenwen looked at the battlefield situation and then made a decision: "Just let the auxiliary soldiers go, so as to warm up." Lord Xu, you have to keep an eye on it, don't let those guys kill the captives indiscriminately. ”
"The last general commands!" Xu Shao didn't talk nonsense, and excitedly led the auxiliaries under his command to carry weapons to beat the water dogs, and the auxiliaries watched the war for two days in a row.
"Everyone else should be careful, don't turn the tables again!"
