Chapter 404: Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog
The palace of Jinling City received the battle report again, but this time the battle report was indeed different, and most of the people who read the battle report trembled this time.
The Turks are really in great trouble, and many people are reluctant to let these Turks die. But seeing this battle report, even Zhao Haikuo, who had been fighting against him for a long time, was stunned.
Why?
After Zhao Feilong arrived, he and the guard Zhao Xin made more than 40 bed crossbows. Then it was arranged in front of the city gate. Use the trick of surrender to lure the enemy into attacking the city gates. Then the battle report after that made them a little incomprehensible.
The enemy's 70,000-strong army killed more than 20,000 people, and only about 200 were captured.
What is the result of this battle, our army hardly has any injuries except for the wounded of the two men who went to deceive the surrender. What is this concept?
No matter how small the city gate is, ten people can come in at one time, and if it is a cavalry, at least five cavalry can come in, so opening the city gate in this way means that they only need to rush in if they want to ride their horses and rush in. But the cavalrymen died here.
There is also a painting in the back, and the people who look at this painting are cold. This is a reproduction of the situation at that time. And on this it is very clear to describe the situation at that time. The corpses were piled up in a pile. The corpses were either lying on the ground, covered in arrows, or strung together by the spears as if they were sugar gourds.
The sugar gourd was specially spread by Li Hang to satisfy the hunger of those children, and some were sold here, but these ministers were very depressed. Why?
How can you let the old man look directly at the sugar gourd again in the future? I'm afraid I'm going to vomit.
"Is this true?" Zhao Haikuo asked a question that everyone else wanted to ask.
This battle report is really exaggerated. The corpses, which were almost piled up, almost formed a small hill at the gates of the city.
"Returning to the general, this matter is what I have seen with my own eyes, a sharp weapon of the country! At that time, the corpses were stacked, and General Zhao ordered the artillery to blow up the corpses. Forcefully blasted out a way for the other party to continue to impact! ”
The herald said in a colorful voice. He hurried back. Although it has been more than ten days, he still remembers every detail clearly.
Talking to these ministers here made him feel like he was raising his eyebrows. I'm afraid that such a record is rare. Those battles in which a large number of enemies were killed by winning more with fewer were all done by taking advantage of the right time, place, and talent. But what about this time?
The terrain was very conducive to cavalry charges, if it weren't for the narrowness of the place. I was afraid that the cavalry could directly step on this place, but in this case, these terrifying firearms and bed crossbows actually sniped the enemy at the city gate. The muskets, in particular, played a key role, as the archers shot at the top, while the casualties of those below were limited, but the muskets killed a lot of people in the time they had to fill the gap between the crossbows and the artillery.
The reloading time of these guns was almost half a minute.
But those attacks during this time were too blinding, and if this kind of artillery was bombing, then this kind of musket was simply a precise point kill. As for those people, death was enveloped almost instantly, and the situation here was countless times better than they had imagined that the cavalry would rush in. Those cavalry were all killed directly, and as for what happened after those enemies, this is almost their own history of blood and tears. Because most of these cavalry were leather or unarmoured, this kind of armor almost died at once, and even their men would be affected. The wall of people formed by the fall of those people was enough to prevent the cavalry behind from passing, and these were things that the ministers did not dare to think of. The casualties of these cavalry ranks were basically at the hands of these people.
As for the archers, the archers waiting for me on the city wall have been changed one batch after another. Even the crossbowmen went up. The shields of those Turkic cavalry were almost all raised above their heads, and they didn't even think of what terrible scene was waiting for them after passing through the city gate, as for their commander, they would only see the cavalry entering one by one, according to the normal idea, the cavalry occupied every corner of the city, and then fought with them inside. These people's attacks seem to be very ordinary. But if it's really an ordinary city, it won't be easy to be attacked like this, as for the fate of these people. That is to turn into a wall of corpses.
"Great victory!" At this time, even Zhao Haikuo shouted, this battle is indeed very meaningful, and the imperial court really needs this kind of big news at this time.
At this time, several forces united, but to say that the real ability is still those Turks, other Buddhism or families even if they have soldiers in hand, they are just stragglers, but to say that the people who really have the strength to come here to fight the victory and defeat are only the Turkic Khan, and the other people's courts are not in their eyes.
It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, as long as this Turk is repulsed, then it's easy to say anything.
Of course, this matter is an afterthought, if several families join forces, it is really worthy of the four words of internal and external troubles.
Li Hang directly solved a big trouble this time, which is in addition to a big trouble for them! And at this time, these people are pressed, and the longer they are suppressed, the more muskets will be, and they can't do whatever they want. That's just a long time to count. That's all there is to it. How many of these musket artillery can there be in a year? With such persistence, it will not take three years for these armies to be replaced with artillery and muskets, and then what capital will those armies that were still clamoring have to provoke these armies equipped with new weapons?
But they know that very well. It is necessary to have absolute control over these armies.
The weapons of these armies are also absolutely not allowed to leave the country.
To do this, it is necessary to get rid of the possibility of the family meddling in the army, and at this time completely make the family lose power.
Is this possible? Absolutely.
Zhao Haikuo's mind was all about how to clean up these families, but the emperor sitting on the dragon chair at this time was very relaxed. "The problem of the North is solved. Let people go to Donglin Port, and the thing that kid promised me should be fulfilled! "Converted ships as promised. This is a modification of a warship. Although it is only a single-masted building ship, once this ship can really be counted, it can really crush many current armies.
Now those naval forces in their hands are scum when they encounter this kind of ships equipped with artillery, and half of the city defense of Jinling City depends on the naval army, if there is a gunboat that can dominate the river, the effect will definitely be self-evident.
That kind of artillery is more than just blowing up a ship. If it is used well, I am afraid that it will not be able to directly bomb the opponent's military camp and patrol the river to bomb.
