Chapter 145: Battle (1)
"What the King of Chu said is right, the future battlefield will definitely be won by muskets, and the Divine Battalion is the prototype of the future Tang Army." Li Yuan smiled and asked the Jinyi guard beside him to bring a flintlock pistol and hand it to Li Xiaogong.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xiaogong took the flintlock pistol and looked at it carefully.
This flintlock pistol is well-made, the cold body of the gun has a swarthy barrel, and the wooden hand rest, what Li Xiaogong cares about the most is the three-edged military spur on the side of the gun, with a blood groove, it looks a little oozing.
Li Xiaogong took the ammunition, tried to shoot it, and exclaimed: "This firearm is much more powerful than a bow and arrow, plus a three-stage attack, even if the enemy has 10,000 people, it is not as good as the three teams of soldiers of the Divine Battalion." ”
"It's not over yet." Li Yuan clapped his hands, and the eunuch presented three wooden-handled grenades.
He pulled the lead and threw it hard into the no-man's land of the school yard, only to hear a loud bang, and a large crater was blown out of the ground of the school yard.
You must know that the floor of the school is rammed earth, and a layer of stone slabs is paved on it.
"Weichen dares to issue a military order, if these two help, tomorrow a battle will definitely be able to take the city." Li Xiaogong knelt on the ground and made a military order, swearing to speak.
"If the king of Chu wins this time, I can divide half of the land of Linyi into the food of the king of Chu, hereditary replacement, and cut the land and seal the country." Li Yuan promised.
There are generally two types of hereditary succession, ordinary hereditary and hereditary replacement, the former will be downgraded by one level every time he inherits the title, and the latter will not be replaced by his descendants.
If Li Xiaogong, the king of Chu, dies now, the succession to the title is the king of the county, and then the prince of the country, until the lowest title of the county bar.
And the general land of Linyi was given to Li Xiaogong, Li Yuan was considerate, the transportation was not convenient in ancient times, and China was unified with the territory of Qin, which had reached the limit of control, and it was difficult to maintain the territory no matter how large it was, the best way was to divide Mongolia into khanates, or set up colonies in the empire as the sun never sets.
But Huaxia is different from the United Kingdom, the British are small and the people are small, and it is difficult to rule so many territories, but Huaxia is different, its tonnage is enough to digest various countries, but it is difficult to govern in the central government, so it is very good to use Zhou Tianzi's set to divide the barbarian state to the clan heroes.
Ideas never lag behind a word, and some are only applicable but not applicable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Li Xiaogong instantly said excitedly, splitting the earth and sealing the country is something that countless civil ministers and military generals dream of, and it is also the highest glory.
But it's a pity that since Han Gaozu made a covenant with the white horse, the descendants of the Liu family who were not crowned kings will be attacked by the whole world.
Although he is a clan, the imperial court has always been afraid of splitting the earth and sealing the king, and he returned to Zhou Tianzi's set, and centralized power has basically become the mainstream.
The surrounding courtiers also looked at Li Xiaogong with envy, but everyone had no objection, Li Xiaogong was the emperor's nephew, and he made countless military exploits at the time of the founding of the country, and at the time of the emperor's crisis, he welcomed the emperor again.
"You don't have to be excited, as long as you can make great achievements in this crusade against the barbarians, it is not impossible to seal the country, but" Li Yuan swept the ministers, and his voice paused.
The courtiers looked at the Emperor Taishang with blank eyes, and the desire for the land had occupied their hearts.
As I said earlier, I'm afraid of a but.
"However, the inherent territory of the imperial court, an inch of land can still not be divided, several barbarian states turned into the country of Zhuxia, Zhou Tianzi took Guanzhong as the foundation of the country, the Quartet Marquis arched and defended, I took the land of Qin as the foundation, and the land of foreign countries protected it.
Five hundred years of Xia and Shang, eight hundred years of Duzhou Sheji, since the Han Dynasty, there has been no three hundred years of national fortune, or for the alien race to exterminate it, or for the power of the minister to usurp it
If Cao Wei had a prince and a guard, how could he fall into the hands of powerful ministers, some people say that the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed due to the rebellion of the clan, so would it not be a feudal country?"
History is weird, it's a cycle.
The Qin Dynasty completely destroyed the feudal system, and then the Western Han Dynasty re-established the feudal system, and although the strength of the feudal state was weakened by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty still received the feudal system.
Sima Yan usurped Cao Wei, because he was worried that he would let the ministers usurp the country because he did not have a clan to defend him, and then divide the clan
Therefore, it is a contradictory question to say that the existence of the feudal state does not exist.
I am afraid that the powerful ministers in the court will monopolize the government, and I am afraid that the vassal king will become bigger.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers bowed down one after another.
There are very few people who are like Li Si, who sternly reject the opinion of the emperor.
Everyone came out to mix, just to be well-dressed and rich.
How can anyone stand and talk without backache.
Anyway, the Emperor Taishang has already made it very clear that it is the land of Fanbang that is divided, and these lands still need to be beaten down by them, and when the time comes, it will be just as their reward, otherwise, like the King of Chu, there is no way to seal it, and there is only a way to die.
.
The next day, the sky was white.
In the light of dawn, the silhouette of the city is faintly recognizable, and the mottled and dilapidated walls are imprinted with the rush of history, but it also means how fragile and vulnerable they are.
As the capital of Linyi State, the city wall is about one and a half zhang high, and the whole is a rammed earth wall, which is different from the capital cities such as Chang'an Jinling, the city wall of Chang'an is rammed earth inside, and the outside is wrapped with a layer of green bricks.
At the four corners of the city wall stood towers, and the wolf poison arrows wound on the giant crossbow shone with silver light, piercing and cold.
The right side of the corner tower is the low horse face, which is the protruding pier platform built on the outside of the city wall according to a certain distance, the plane has rectangular and semicircular, because the appearance is narrow and long like a horse face, so it is called a horse face. It is generally 1,220 meters wide, protruding 820 meters from the outer surface of the wall, and spacing 20,250 meters, which can effectively make full use of the range of the bow and crossbow machine.
In front of the city wall is a moat ten paces wide, and the drawbridge that used to be used for merchants to enter has been raised in front of the city gate.
On the eve of the war, the whole of the Linyi Kingdom stepped up the time to build the defense system of the city, and finally completed the construction before the arrival of the Tang army.
All the soldiers of Linyi Kingdom are ready to fight, their eyes are ahead, for the sake of their homeland, this war must be won, they have already lost half of the country.
The Tang army, which was five miles northwest of Zhancheng, stepped on its steps and marched forward in an orderly manner, and Lin Yiguo was well prepared, but the Tang army was not inferior to them.
The front army of the Tang army was a huge shield made of carts, and each soldier carried a round shield with him, the Chinese army carried a ladder and a rushing cart full of soldiers, and in the rear army there were dozens of trebuchets and artillery carts.
Boom, boom, boom
Trebuchets and artillery carts took the lead in throwing out small clay pots one by one, the clay pots crossed a graceful arc in the air, and at the moment of contact with the head of the city, they burst open, and the iron nails, gravel, and glass slag contained in them shot out in all directions, and in an instant, the soldiers of the city were killed and injured countless times!
