God, that arquebus was born to defend the city!
The Tatar bandit group began to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the second year after the destruction of Jin, and when the war broke out, LΓΌ Wende began to be active on the front line of the war as a local tyrant and gradually emerged.
In 1237, LΓΌ Wende led an army to aid Anfeng under the command of Chizhou, and fought with Du Gao to defend the city, and the Tatar army retreated.
In the following year, Du Gao's sons Du Shu and Nie Bin led the elite to set up an ambush on the Tatar army at key points, and passed on the good news 27 times, especially when he guarded Yizhen, which made the people of Yizhen take their lives as their lives!
Later, Lu Wende was promoted to Fuzhou Observation Envoy and Deputy Commander of the Guards and Horse Army.
Until he was appointed as the envoy of the Jinghu system, he was granted Shaobao.
At this point, Lu Wende began to become the main general of the town guard, in the process of his development, relying on his relatives and hometown woodcutters, charcoal farmers and other formation of the "black charcoal regiment" to fight, and his relatives such as his younger brother Lu Wenhuan, Lu Wenxin, Lu Wenfu, nephew Lu Shikui, Lu Shilong, Lu Shidao, Lu Shimeng, Lu Shiwang, son-in-law Fan Wenhu, fellow villager Xia Gui and so on have been promoted, and have become important generals of the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, he belonged to a general who was good at defense and dared to ambush the Tatar army.
Because of this, he could see at a glance that the benefit of the arquebus was coming.
He was thrilled when he saw that the soldier who demonstrated how to use it easily hit the plank wall forty paces away!
This thing is far more lethal than a bow and arrow!
But the sixth brother Lu Wenhuan sighed: "It's a pity, it's too cumbersome to load the bullets------"
"Sixth brother, don't be afraid of this, there is a city wall that can be used as an obstacle------ stone cannon can be used to hit the distance, connected to a crossbow bed, and finally used between arquebuses and bows. Who in the world can break through the two cities of Xiangfan! Hahaha! β
The Jinghu system made Lu Wende very happy, Jia Pingzhang sent a heavy weapon in the army, like a tiger with wings!
His sixth brother Lu Wenhuan made up the eldest brother's idea in his brain, and he understood it a little, and he was also deeply happy.
The escort officer also sent them a copy of several formation diagrams designed by Zhao Yu, a member of the Great Song Dynasty, so that they could choose the opportunity to do so------
Let's be honest. The officers on the front line are not afraid of such a formation------ they do not understand the actual situation, and command at will, which is definitely more capable of killing and injuring their own people than the enemy.
However, where did Lu Wende dare to ignore the Jinghu system?
He took it respectfully, and opened it as if he was eager to learn.
In fact, he was born as a local tyrant and was not very literate, and even once drank too much and spoke badly. scolded Confucius why he didn't teach him more to read------
However, after he opened the formation diagram and looked at it, he immediately liked it in his heart, it was all diagrams here, and the language of the explanation was very little, so it was easy to understand.
How did Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, not know the characteristics of the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, so the language was as straightforward as possible, and a large number of pictures were used to support it.
Not to mention that Lu Wende, the envoy of the Jinghu system, is also a veteran officer who has been fighting for more than 20 years. He looked at the eight-stage round-robin method, and he understood the intention. At that time, I changed it to six rounds in my head.
Because if there are eight sections of people standing on the city wall, I am afraid that it will be crowded, and it will also prevent the opponent from taking the opportunity to hurt people with a heavy bow.
There is also a small stone cannon, which is made by Jinghu make Lu Wende puzzled when he sees it, why is the place where it throws stones not a net bag, but a spoon the size of a copper basin?
The escort officer said, "This thing is a thunderbolt!" β
Jinghu made Lu Wende think about it. Isn't it just something wrapped in black powder and lime wrapped in paper, and ordinary bed crossbows can be used, so it's extra to use it.
The escort officer said: "This thing is not an ordinary thunderbolt cannon----- it is produced by the arquebus army in front of the Imperial Palace, and it is a place specially arranged by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty to create this thing." β
The escort officer waved his hand and asked people to hold an iron ball the size of a sea bowl. Lu Wende, the envoy of Jinghu Establishment, is a big man, and he grabbed it with one hand.
When he looked at the posture of that person, he knew that it was not a solid thing, and sure enough, it weighed seven or eight catties.
He saw that there were several vertical and horizontal lines on the iron ball, and that there was a concave hole, and his fingers were too thick to fit in.
After shaking it for a while, it seemed that he heard a voice inside, he didn't know what was going on, it was impossible to use it to smash people.
The escort officer smiled smugly, and took out a wooden stopper, which had a fuse in the middle, and he shoved it hard, and the fuse was exposed.
Jinghu made Lu Wende's mind shine, and said: "Could it be that this medicinal power can actually explode the iron shell!" β
The escort officer smiled smugly again, and said, "However, it is not the black fire/medicine produced by the arquebus military weapons that can only be so, and the other weapons can only be wrapped in paper or bamboo tubes, and a certain has also brought some ------ to the envoy."
Jinghu made Lu Wende jump up all of a sudden, and said, "Hurry up, show me the drill!" β
The ball could not be used on water, so they found a flat place, and when one of the two soldiers lit the fuse, the other immediately loosened the rope, and soon completed the projectile, and hit two hundred paces away, but the iron ball rolled for a while, and did not move.
The escort officer said embarrassedly at this time: "I forgot to explain in advance, this thunderball can be about 30% of the explosion without sound, but never get close, it will take half an hour to pick it up." β
He drank, "One more!" β
Soon it was thrown out again, and at this time, not long after the iron ball hit the ground, there was a "boom" explosion, and in a red fireball, I saw the fragments burst into a long distance.
Everyone was terrified!
The escort officer regained his smug smile at this time, and said: "Don't be afraid, the people in the arquebus army armory have said that two hundred steps away, you will definitely not be harmed, so you will not hurt the city wall, and you will not hurt your own people!" β
Lu Wende, the envoy of Jinghu Preparation, shouted: "Very good, very good! Look at this thing, it can be called 'ten thousand enemies'! If you enter the Tatar army------hehe------"
Everyone present squinted their eyes and thought about the scene------
After a long time, someone was sent to retrieve the thunderbolt that did not explode, and when I looked at it, it turned out that the lead had landed first, and the wooden plug was broken.
Jinghu made Lu Wende look at the broken wooden plug repeatedly, frowned and said, "There is only one way to place the fuse?!" β
The escort officer was speechless for a moment.
Lu Wende, the envoy of Jinghu System, is also an officer from the bottom, and he knows that a petty official like him is the most difficult to provoke, so he said boldly: "It's okay, it's okay, although the two cities of Xiangfan are small, there may be one or two skilled craftsmen, as long as the medicine is enough, maybe you can find a solution, after all, they are all people who have experienced the battlefield." β
Between craftsmen, there is also the difference between those who have experienced the battlefield and those who have not, and the gap here is not small.
When the escort officer was leaving, Lu Wende, the envoy of Jinghu Manufacturing, asked him to give him ten taels of silver and a pair of bronze utensils.
The escort officer was overjoyed, this can be exchanged for a full share of ten copper coins!
After that, he began to lead the army to practice.
But not long after I got acquainted with it, I actually received an official letter asking him to remove the stone cannon!
The Jinghu system made Lu Wende angry at that time, what is the reason!
Subsequently, he received a secret letter from Pingzhang Jia Nidao. (To be continued.) )
