Chapter 53: The Age of Thermal Weapons I
When the army of the Liao State just came out of Yingzhou, Jiang Yin also discussed politics with Wang Xianqi and other six generals in the newly built Taihe Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info.com
The huge sand table was placed on the main hall, and Wang Xianqi and the others had obviously adapted to this kind of giant sand table, pointing at it, which had a bit of a sense of pointing at the country, but their faces showed more of a worry.
Jiang Yin yawned and said with interest: "Several, the Liao State only used 30,000 people to fight grass this time, this kind of small-scale war, you don't need to be worried about fleeing all the time, right?" ”
Wang Xianqi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "King, do you know, those Liao people, compared to my Great Song army, are no less than ten times braver, not to mention that they have lived outside the fortress for a long time, have a fierce temperament, strong martial arts, 30,000 troops, if there is a Tielin army, 30,000 sergeants, can be compared to my 100,000 infantry of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Oh? So powerful? ”
"The king doesn't know, these Khitans now have a national policy of not taking the initiative to invade the Central Plains in the south, only the Northern Han Dynasty, so, we don't need to fight with them, now Cangzhou is still repairing the city, the Tartars' favorite is Cangzhou, a border city like Cangzhou, the king only needs to take the whole city of soldiers to the Central Plains to hide for a period of time, to the winter, after the Tartars go back, it is not too late to come back." Wang Xianqi persuaded bitterly.
In fact, everyone in the hall was very puzzled that Jiang Yin wanted to attack the Liao State, for such a behemoth, even the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to move a single penny, and he had to pay the annual tribute every year, but this young man was like crazy, and he had to fight with the tartars who beat the grass.
It is very likely that after this fight, his head will be cut off by Emperor Liao as a wine glass.
Therefore, everyone tried their best to persuade them, although they raised troops against the Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has not yet sent troops to attack, which is already a great luck, and they also took the initiative to counterattack the Liao State, which is simply an act of seeking death.
Scholars all over the world know that a weak country does not raise troops, let alone a country with only one city.
Jiang Yin smiled and suddenly said, "The generals are too pessimistic, have you forgotten the identity of this king's overseas heir?" Without some means, how dare I scratch the ass of this tiger in Liaoguo, come on, come on, I'll take you to see my weapon to fight the tiger, and then you can talk about your thoughts. ”
"Could it be an iron bull and a horse? Weichen felt that this thing was invulnerable, if there were as many as 100 vehicles, and they rushed into the crowd with a high price, it was indeed possible to fight with the Khitan Tielin Army. Wang Sizong asked tentatively on the side.
"Haha, this time it's something more powerful than the Iron Ox Flowing Horse, called a tank car, this king has prepared sixty vehicles, you know, these sixty vehicles, here, are enough to destroy the Liao Kingdom."
Everyone frowned, destroying the Liao State, and only Jiang Yin dared to say such big things.
Seeing everyone's suspicious looks, Jiang Yin was not annoyed, but stood up from the emperor on the main hall and said to Lin Yue who was standing on the side: "Brother Lin, the tanks are all parked in the east, right?" ”
Lin Yue nodded, "Sixty tanks are all parked fifty miles east of Cangzhou City, if the Tartars want to attack Cangzhou, they must pass through the positions of our tanks." ”
"Okay, guys, let's go check it out."
Jerushuge was furious.
The heavy snow in the first season has already fallen, and at this time in previous years, the Khitan grass army has finished grassing, and returned to the base camp with a large number of tea, porcelain, iron pots, grain and other trophies, and then spent a cold winter happily.
But there were some accidents this year, in the early autumn, the first batch of Khitan troops who went south to explore the way arrived at a small city on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, they were met with incredible resistance, those Han people who were as weak as Mianyang, actually shot with arrows on the city wall and could not die, the most terrible thing is that those Han people who never dared to go out of the city dared to sneak attack the Khitan army besieging the city late at night.
This group of spies suffered heavy casualties, and finally they came with the crucial news that the reason why those Han people could not be killed was because they wore a very strange kind of armor.
This kind of invulnerable armor was shocked in the Khitan army, and even Yelu Huge, who had been fighting for many years, couldn't believe that there was still this kind of armor in this world!
This kind of invulnerability to armor soon reached the ears of the Shangjing Emperor, and the Liao Emperor also attached great importance to this matter, and sent spies to the Song Dynasty many times to inquire about the production method and origin of this armor.
However, the Great Song Dynasty actually had no news about this thing, and the only thing the spies found was that this kind of armor was from the Imperial City of the Great Song Dynasty to the front line, and the number was not large, only the front-line sergeants of Cangzhou, Dezhou, and Xingzhou obtained this kind of armor, and these three states were also the three major states bordering the Liao State.
In an emergency, Yelu Hugo stopped the army that was preparing to go south to fight grass, but first sent spies to Cangzhou, Dezhou, and Xingzhou to find out how many pieces of this kind of armor were equipped in the Great Song army.
Fortunately, the spies on the front line came to report that there were up to a thousand pieces of this kind of armor in the three states, which also made Yelu Xiuge breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, the spies also reported a piece of news, which made Yelu Xiuge a little confused about Da Song's attitude.
The spies reported that near Cangzhou City, the Great Song Dynasty actually sent a large number of people and craftsmen to build cities there, but most of those cities have not been built yet, but they are built very quickly, and the spies have repeatedly mentioned that the city is being repaired quickly.
The soldiers came to build the city under the city, and Yelu Xiuge even wondered if the heads of the Great Song officials were broken, not to mention that they were not repaired, even if they were repaired, a small border city like Cangzhou was casually conquered by the warriors of the Great Liao.
Yelu Xiuge still remembers the scene when he demolished the gate of the Cangzhou City Tower three years ago, and the trembling Great Song troops kneeling under the city tower at that time made Yelu Xiuge have infinite confidence in his army.
Now that it has been confirmed that there are not many such invulnerable armor on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, Yelu Xiuge is not willing to wait any longer, the third heavy snow is the deadline, and before that, they must return to Liao, so it is still too late to loot those Han people.
Yelu Hugo gave the order, and after the Khitan army, which had endured for a long time, learned that it was finally able to come out and plunder, the barracks burst into cheers, followed by the roar of horses' hooves, and the sound of countless horse whips and the howls of the Khitans
Hundreds of feet away, the loud sound of the explosion echoed across the narrow plains.
Wang Xianqi, Wang Sizong and others had already stayed in place, and Yang Guangyi, who was over the age of six, pointed to the sixty neat tank lanes with a trembling voice: "Divine soldiers, this is divine soldiers."
Jiang Yin smiled at everyone and said, "Now do you think that these sixty tanks can destroy the Liao Kingdom?" ”
