Chapter 199: Meet Again

"War horses, war horses are indeed a big problem, not only we lack horses, but all places lack war horses. The Great Song Dynasty has not had a horse farm for many years, and it is impossible to breed war horses in large quantities, while the Mengyuan warriors have been on horseback since they were children, and each warrior can domesticate three to five war horses, and the gap is too big.

For many years, we could only defend the city but not fight in the field, and in the field we could only ambush and attack the Yuan soldiers in advance, but often we could only hurt their fur and not break their bones, because we did not have enough cavalry, and when they retreated and detoured, they did not have the ability to take advantage of the victory to pursue. ”

Wen Tianxiang recuperated in Guangzhou for a few days, and his body recovered a lot, and his originally thin face became a little ruddy. Zhao Tianyou originally invited him to go to Hong Kong Island to recuperate, but Wen Tianxiang refused, but he refused to give him a reason, so he could only wait for Zhao Tianyou to come to Guangzhou City every few days.

Zhao Tianyou said in a deep voice: "Then I can only rob it, last time it was Li Heng's camp that was robbed, or where did Guangzhou get 10,000 war horses." ”

Wen Tianxiang commanded the war against the Yuan for many years, and he has also been plagued by the problem of war horses, and the city defense of Guangzhou is strong and powerful, and he is no longer afraid of the Yuan soldiers to attack, but if he doesn't come, can you find the door?

"Where to grab it? Our biggest reliance is artillery, it is inconvenient to move and fight, and if we get out of the city, we may be robbed by the Yuan soldiers, so we must not take this risk! ”

This time it was really difficult for Zhao Tianyou, the sub-mother cannon could be used for field battles, but it also needed a fixed camp as a position, and it could only be fought with a large-scale march. Besides, the current barrel material is not up to standard, and the replacement of the sub-cannon cannot be guaranteed, let alone the rate of fire of the cannonball.

Wen Tianxiang said with a solemn face: "Yesterday, there was news from the north, and some fleeing people saw a large number of Yuan troops moving, it is likely that the middle marshal of the Yuan army, Ashu, or the right prime minister Ali Hague stationed in Xiangyang.

Defeating Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan, we don't rely on strength, we rely on Hongyi artillery and surprise, now Yuan Bing must have some understanding of artillery, I don't know if they have corresponding countermeasures. ”

Zhao Tianyou smiled: "Okay, it's not bad that they are really coming, they must have brought countless war horses, won't they solve our problem?" I wish they were there! ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy, God bless, although our cannon is boundless, ten times more powerful than the thunderbolt cannon I used in Zhangzhou, but after all, his lethality is limited, and he can't guard against large-scale impacts, and when the Yuan soldiers all rush to the city, the cannon will lose its effect."

Wen Tianxiang had palpitations when he said this, and the thunderbolt cannon defending the city in Zhangzhou was mighty, repelling the attacks of the Yuan soldiers many times, killing and wounding countless Mengyuan soldiers, but slowly exposed its shortcomings.

The interval between launches is too long, it cannot be used on rainy days, and the accuracy is lost at night, and the soldiers who operate are easy to be besieged by the Yuan soldiers. This was all discovered in the actual battle of defending the city, and for this reason, the soldiers of Zhangzhou took the cost of their lives to Wen Tianxiang in mind, and brought these experiences to Guangzhou, originally wanting to tell Zhao Tianyou to see how to adjust.

But after arriving in Guangzhou, he saw the majestic Hongyi cannon, the ultra-long range of more than three miles, and the exquisitely designed flowering cannonball, which ignited Wen Tianxiang's heart at once, and he was even more convinced that Zhao Tianyou was the only hope for defeating the Yuan soldiers.

"Yes, if the cavalry is not charged quickly at all costs, the advantage of the cannon will be restrained, and if it is not effectively protected by the infantry in the field, the cannon will be destroyed or snatched away by the approaching cavalry. However, I am also in a hurry, striving to find an effective way to crack the advantage of the Yuan soldiers in field combat when the Yuan soldiers are pressing. ”

"Time is pressing, God bless you don't have to be distracted by other things, being able to hold Guangzhou City is the most important thing at the moment."

Zhao Tianyou listened to Wen Tianxiang's words a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, Master Wen, what's wrong?" ”

Wen Tianxiang shook his head, motioned for Zhao Tianyou Mo to ask again, and then turned to leave.

After questioning Zhang Zhensun, he learned that Wen Tianxiang's wife and daughter in Jizhou were captured by the Yuan army, and they have been transferred and imprisoned in Xiangyang, in the hands of Ali Hague, the right prime minister of the Yuan army. Wen Tianxiang has a wife and a concubine, two sons and six daughters, and only two daughters are still alive in the world, and the others died in the war, which made the face of this iron-blooded man for the country also fill with a little sadness.

Zhao Tianyou has no way to do this, the current strength is still too weak, although Hong Kong Island is expanding rapidly, whether it is from industry or trade, but it is not strong enough to allow Zhao Tianyou to leave Guangzhou to fight.

Everyone cares about their loved ones, and Wen Tianxiang is no exception, he abandons his wife and daughter for the sake of the country, but Zhao Tianyou can read his pain from his eyes, and his helplessness when he leaves his relatives for the sake of Kang Yuan.

And the Mengyuan army in the north is slowly approaching, this war is much larger than the scale of Li Heng's siege, Guangzhou has successfully attracted Boyan's attention, and the strategic level has been raised to a height with Deng Shijie.

The hard work paid off, Meng Shuirou dressed up all day long, kept searching around the city, and finally found the traces of Jiang Gongzi, and after a desperate struggle, successfully captured Jiang Hanchen.

Seeing each other again is already a matter of fact, Jiang Gongzi, who was suave in the past, was tied to a chair with a sad expression, and before sneaking into Guangzhou this time, Wei October strongly objected to him coming in person. But he didn't admit defeat in his heart, a little head of a fishing village, a little person who could be crushed to death with a pinch of his own hands, actually ruined his own good deeds several times, and also made a prosperous Hong Kong Island.

That was his ideal, to build an independent dock, and to complete all the links in the trade by himself, so as to obtain higher profits and status. People have already made a fortune here, and he, Jiang Hanchen, has been forced to go away to other countries, and he can't set foot in Guangzhou City, he is really unwilling.

After Zhao Tianyou heard the news, he saw Meng Shuirou with a tired and excited face, ignoring the eyes of the three dogs and the big fat beside him, he reached out and gently touched Meng Shuirou's face, and said with a concerned face: "It's hard work, I don't have time to talk to you these days." ”

Meng Shuirou's eyes were crooked and about to blink out of the water, and she looked at her feet and whispered: "Brother God, you work harder, I, I ......"

Sangou couldn't hold back his smile, but he didn't dare to make a sound, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth tightly, but his eyes were full of gossip, and Meng Shuirou, who couldn't speak, turned red, turned around and ran away.

"Smack!"

The big fat slapped Sangou on the neck and glared at him viciously, and the three fat, who knew that he was wrong, hurriedly ran two steps forward and opened the door of the cell.

"General, the prisoners are inside!"

As soon as Zhao Tianyou stepped in, he saw Jiang Hanchen's hateful gaze.
