Chapter 64: Liu Yanqing pleaded guilty
Shi Jin smiled, looked at Ling Zhen and said, "Do you want to make that weapon with your own hands?" ”
Ling Zhen heard some emotion, but he still asked worriedly, "Can you really hit thirteen or fourteen miles?" ”
Shi Jin patted his chest and said affirmatively. "You go out and ask, I, Shi Jin, am a well-known trustworthy man. A spit and a nail. Definitely not kidding you! ”
Of course, it can be built, think about those large-caliber artillery guns, which can generally hit thirty or forty kilometers (sixty or seventy miles).
The Barbados cannon, which has the longest range, is a 36-meter-long, 424-millimeter cannon. The cannon successfully threw a 90-kilogram shell into space at an altitude of 180 kilometers.
Later simulations showed that the gun was theoretically capable of firing 100-kilogram shells up to 4,000 kilometers (8,000 miles) away.
Thirteen or fourteen miles is simply trivial!
However, as for when it will be possible to create such a long-range cannon chamber and gunpowder to accomplish this goal, then it doesn't matter to Shi Jin, isn't that your Ling Zhen's business?
Anyway, as long as you Ling Zhen enters my den of thieves, you still can't get out!
Ling Zhen has an almost insane fascination with long-range attack weapons, hoping to create the longest-range and most powerful weapons. Because of this, he will spend his own money to develop and improve catapults, to improve gunpowder.
Although the education from childhood to adulthood made him know that he couldn't be a thief and humiliate his innocence.
I heard Shi Jin say that the weapon could really hit thirteen or fourteen miles.
The weapon with such a long range made Ling Zhen unable to calm down at all, his heart was like a small deer, jumping non-stop.
Ling Zhen was very hesitant, he raised his head and said, "That, I, I need to think again!" ”
Shi Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, go back and think about it." Think about the weapon you made with your own hands, think about the description of how shocking the weapon you made Ling Zhen brought to the enemy in history, and think about the sense of accomplishment that others feel in awe when they hear your name, that is something that ordinary people can't enjoy! ”
Hearing Shi Jin's seductive description made Ling Zhen even more distracted.
Ling Zhen was taken down, and it was impossible to put him in a prisoner's prison again this time.
Shi Jin arranged for Ling Zhen to live alone in a certain tent, and asked someone to bring him soup, wine and food, so that he could serve him.
After arranging Ling Zhen's affairs, Shi Jin called Zhu Gui over and said, "Is that Yumei still unwilling to surrender?" ”
Zhu Gui nodded and said, "Yes, that guy is stubborn and refuses to surrender!" ”
"Forget it, if you refuse to surrender, then you will be imprisoned first! Brother Zhu, you send someone to escort the families of the three leaders Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Xi up the mountain first. ”
"I'll do it!"
"Well, let's escort Ling Zhen's family up the mountain as well! What a firm desire for him to be obedient! ”
"Yes!"
Shi Jin thought about it, there was nothing else. So he called his own soldiers over and said, "Pass the order, tell someone to pack up, and prepare to go back to Liangshan!" ”
Hearing that they were going back to Liangshan, the soldiers of the Liangshan army happily packed their bags.
When the Liangshan army returned, Tong Guan erected a handsome flag outside Yuncheng County and gathered the defeated soldiers.
Hearing Tong Guan's summons, Liu Yanqing hurriedly ran over with his nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to converge.
His front army ran fast, Xin Xingzong's rear army was busy fighting the fire at that time, and as soon as the Liangshan army came, they ran away.
Tong Guan's most important thing was more than 20,000 Western troops, and after collecting and counting, he found that there were still more than 15,000 soldiers and horses, which made Tong Guan feel better.
Coupled with the forbidden troops who came one after another, Tong Guan gathered more than 20,000 officers and soldiers.
Hearing that Liu Yanqing was back, Tong Guan immediately ordered someone to pass Liu Yanqing in.
As soon as he entered the camp of the commander, without waiting for Tong Guan to scold, Liu Yanqing knelt down on one knee and shouted: "The last general is incompetent, and the army has suffered a tragic defeat, so I implore the minister to punish him!" ”
Seeing Liu Yanqing kneeling in the audience, he thought that it was the escape of this guy that led to the rout of the front army, and then the front army broke the Chinese army, which would lead to a big defeat.
Tong Guan angrily slapped the book case and shouted angrily: "You are also a veteran in the army, you have been in battle for a long time, and you are familiar with the art of war. I have repeatedly told you to hold on and delay the thieves. When our Chinese army is in formation, it will make a great contribution! I didn't expect that your army didn't hold for an hour, and you left the army and fled without permission, lost your position, and broke the Chinese army, resulting in a crushing defeat for the army, all of which are your fault! If you are not beheaded for public display, it is not enough to determine the hearts of the army! How can this minister convince the public in the future? Come on, drag this person out and behead him! ”
Hearing that Tong Guan was going to kill Liu Yanqing, Xin Xingzong, who was also from the Western Army, immediately stepped forward to dissuade him: "Lord Minister! Wouldn't it be a pity to kill the good generals before the thieves have been exterminated? Although General Liu has made mistakes, it can be remembered that now that the war is imminent, it is the time to employ people, and his mistakes can be remembered, so that he can make meritorious service and make up for his mistakes! ”
Song Jiang also stood up and shouted at this time: "Yes, Lord Minister, it will not help to kill General Liu now, and it will also damage a member of our army, so that those thieves will laugh shamefully." Please also ask the cardinal to be aware and allow General Liu to make meritorious contributions! ”
Bi Sheng and several of his generals also stood up and shouted: "I implore the pivotal minister to open up and allow General Liu to make meritorious contributions!" ”
Tong Guan heard the snort and shouted: "If it weren't for the love of many generals, I would have spared you." Now I will avoid death, and send your life, and if you dare to violate it again, you will be punished for both crimes! ”
Liu Yanqing hurriedly shouted: "Lord Xie Shuxiang, at the end of the battle in the future, the general will definitely fight bravely and atone for his crimes!" ”
If it weren't for Tong Guan's trick of Qin Ming, how could the officers and soldiers be easily attacked by the gang of thieves in Liangshan.
If you really want to talk about it, Tong Guan needs to bear the biggest responsibility for this defeat.
But who dares to say this, looking for death!
Liu Yanqing also knows, and Tong Guan also knows.
Therefore, seeing Liu Yanqing taking the responsibility for this defeat, Tong Guan raised it high and put it down gently.
Otherwise, according to Tong Guan's character, Liu Yanqing would have been dragged down and beheaded a long time ago, and he would have listened to him talk such nonsense.
Tong Guan shouted: "Get up! How your former army was defeated that day, tell me in detail about the course of the war, and you must not hide it! ”
"Yes!" Liu Yanqing got up and told the story of the battle.
When he heard Liu Yanqing say that the range of the other party's thief's catapult was actually three or four hundred steps, Tong Guanjiang asked, "Is that thief's catapult really so far?" ”
Liu Yanqing nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Cardinal, if it weren't for that." Our front army will not be routed like this, it is really the other side's catapult that is too powerful, and our front army cannot resist it. ”
Tong Guan remembered someone at this time, and hurriedly asked, "What about Ling Zhen?" Where are you now? Call him here! ”
Bi Sheng hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "Lord Minister, some soldiers saw that Ling Zhen was captured by the gang of thieves in Liangshan!" ”
Tong Guan frowned when he heard this, "What, damn it." Be sure to send someone to investigate why the other party's catapult can hit so far. If you can learn that catapult, it will be of great benefit to the attack on Western Xia and even the attack on Liao! ”
"Yes!"
This Tong Guan was very angry with the gang of thieves in Liangshan.
Although I think that those thieves can be beaten, but if it is not for trickery, it is absolutely impossible to defeat themselves.
Now he has gathered more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, among which there are more than 15,000 western troops, which is not small.
Tong Guan looked at several henchmen in the camp and said, "I intend to attack those thieves in Liangshan again, what do you think?" ”
