The cutting-edge technology of any era will be first applied to the military, since it is the most cutting-edge technology at that time, it also means that the cost is high and the output is low. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhuge Kongming first invented, Zhuge Lian crossbow was still a very bulky weapon, not suitable for individual combat, and after being improved by the great inventor Ma Jun in the late Han and Wei dynasties, it could barely be used for individual combat. However, there are still various problems such as inconvenience in carrying and lack of strength in the amount of arrows fired at a time.

The Zhuge crossbow, which was once lost after the Song Dynasty, still existed in the early Song Dynasty. Wen according to the later generation of enthusiasts restored Zhuge repeater to improve it, so that it is full of strength, more convenient to carry, but there will be a disadvantage, the improved Zhuge repeater, the maximum number of consecutive shots has changed from ten arrows to three arrows, from the initial 100 steps of long-range shooting to 30 steps of close shooting.

Shi Shouxin's delusion that he could perform nine rounds of continuous fire on the cavalry was actually a kind of hystery, and the long-range firing distance of Zhuge Repeater's crossbow could not meet such requirements in any case.

It is impossible for the imperial court to invest a lot of money in this kind of weapon, which is only suitable for close combat, and only by cherishing human life will it unconditionally invest a huge amount of money.

The high price of 300 guan is difficult for any force to accept, since it is a close combat, it will be more cost-effective to directly issue a sword and spear worth only 10 guan to the soldiers, and the high price of 300 guan is not worth the lives of mere people.

Shi Shouxin is still regretting that Zhuge Lian's crossbow cannot be equipped in the army. Pan Mei had already changed the topic: "Wen Shuai, Your Majesty is about to arrive in Yangzhou in the near future, before Your Majesty arrives, we should always come up with a countermeasure, it is really difficult to explain to Your Majesty that it is always such a stalemate." ”

Pan Mei is now more concerned about whether she can come up with effective measures to offset her previous guilt for losing troops before Zhao Lao Er arrives in Yangzhou. A few days ago, the military power was handed over, and it is understandable that it will take a certain amount of time to familiarize myself with military affairs.

But the problem is that there has been no movement in the past few days, and I only know that I am lucky to be beautiful, which is really annoying.

Finally, when he gave the first military order, it was a stupid idea to retreat three hundred steps back and set up camp again.

"General Pan, what you say is reasonable, I don't know what good plan you can think of?" Wen asked.

Hearing Wen's inquiry, Pan Mei was immediately angry, if she could think of a good plan, she would have taken Yangzhou City a long time ago. As for the loss of troops and generals, he even lost the post of the chief general of the Yangzhou marching battalion.

"The last general is ashamed of His Majesty and the imperial court, and he has lost his troops and generals, but he still has no way to take Yangzhou City." Pan Mei said angrily.

"General Pan, there is no need to blame yourself, you only used 30,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the traitor Li Chongjin with 60,000 horses and horses in Yangzhou City, which is a great achievement." Wen comforted. When it comes to military talent, it is difficult for him to match generals like Pan Mei even if he is fast. Pan Mei only used 30,000 horses to trap Li Chongjin's 60,000 horses in Yangzhou City, which was already a super god.

Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Ten rules surround it, and multiple times divide it.

If you want to win the siege, you must have at least ten times the strength of the opponent to win easily.

With half of the enemy's troops, Pan Mei was able to suppress the enemy army twice as large as himself and did nothing in the city, so he had to say that he had great military talent.

"Wen Shuai praised it." Pan Mei bowed her hand and said. With this sentence, even if you want to settle after the war in the future, your own guilt will be reduced a lot, and you must be grateful for this.

"This is not a false praise, Ben Shuai has always liked to tell the truth." Wen smiled. Tan Fengyi, who was standing quietly on the side, heard Wen say this, and the corners of her mouth twitched imperceptibly.

"It's just that the last general still has something unclear, can I ask Wen Shuai for advice." Pan Mei asked.

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Wen said.

"Why did Wen Shuai retreat 300 steps back to re-camp, after the camp retreated 300 steps, our army will lose the advantage of suppressing the gate of Yangzhou, if the enemy army sends troops out, we can only watch, and there is no way." Pan Mei wondered.

"The reason is actually very simple........

As soon as Wen wanted to answer Pan Mei's question, he saw a black cloud drifting towards the military camp in the direction of Yangzhou City.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran away when I heard it.

When the surrounding people saw this, they ran to the back of the barracks, and after they were all stunned, they also started to run to the back of the barracks.

After hiding in a camp tent, a series of explosions sounded in front of the barracks.

Under the rubble, the dust suddenly flew up, and the air was filled with the fragrance of soju.

A series of explosions were followed by sporadic explosions.

When the sound of the explosion was completely quiet, Wen Cai poked his head out from behind the tent and looked at the front of the camp, where there was already rubble everywhere, collapsed wooden walls, scattered everywhere, fireworks everywhere, and scattered flames rising from time to time.

After taking a deep breath and sniffing, he got up and walked forward, and Tan Fengyi, who was hiding behind the camp tent, cautiously protected Wen by his side. The surrounding soldiers were crowded together in groups of three or five, forming a defensive formation, as if there would be 100,000 enemy troops around to kill.

Wen shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "Spread out, don't crowd in one place." ”

The only way to deal with explosives packs is to spread them out, and the more concentrated they are, the more deadly they are.

After all, it is better for one person to die than for a group of people.

Looking at the mess at the gate of the camp, he sighed and said, "General Pan, now you know why Ben Shuai retreated the military camp three hundred steps back and set up camp." ”

Pan Mei shook her head blankly.

Wen Qi said: "Are you a fool! I didn't see the enemy's explosives bags all thrown on our heads, how did you become a general, and you were able to put the barracks within their range with peace of mind.

Are you an idiot! ”

In the past three days, this is not the first time that such an attack has occurred, and Pan Mei is simply speechless for the way Pan Mei set up the camp within range of the enemy's trebuchet. Seeing that Pan Mei was still innocent at the moment, the fire that had just been suppressed suddenly burst out again.

Pan Mei's face turned red when she was scolded, and she forcibly said with a fire in her heart: "Wen Shuai, if we retreat three hundred steps back and set up camp, we will not only lose the distance to suppress the gate of Yangzhou, but even our Divine Thunder Trebuchet will lose its effect. ”

Now the trebuchets on both sides are the same structure, and the distance projected is basically the same, but Li Chongjin occupies the advantage of the Yangzhou city wall, and the trebuchet can fire ammunition from the three-zhang high city wall, which is even farther than the distance of the trebuchet on the flat ground to throw ammunition.

If Pan Mei retreated the military camp away from the blows of the enemy's trebuchets, he would not be able to suppress the Yangzhou city gate, and his own trebuchets would be completely useless. What's even more terrifying is that the enemy army can calmly send troops from the city gate to set up a formation, and in the case of the enemy's numerical superiority, if it is a head-on decisive battle, the probability of defeat will be higher.

Therefore, in Pan Mei's opinion, it is a stupid idea to retreat and camp, although he will be hit by the enemy's Shenlei trebuchet at any time, but he can suppress the enemy army from going out of the city and attacking him head-on.

This is also a helpless choice when the number of people is not dominant.

Wen sighed and said: "If you are stupid, you will think others are even more stupid." ”

"Wen Shuai, even if you are the main general, you can't insult the last general." Hearing the teasing, Pan Mei's face suddenly turned black and red.

"The insult of the fart, the handsome Yushu is in the wind, the wisdom is outstanding, the text can mention the pen to settle the world, Wu Ke is on the horse to set the world, and now I am kind enough to mention you, you actually think that this handsome is insulting you, it is really rotten wood that cannot be carved." Wen snorted lightly and said with great vigour.

“.........”

Hearing Wen boasting like this, Pan Mei was speechless for a moment, and then he realized that Wen's skin thickness was much stronger than his own. (To be continued.) )
