Chapter 1944: The Age of the City Walls is coming to an end
Chen has already been famous on the battlefield.
But he had never experienced stealth warfare.
The Dragoons have always been fast in and out, fighting all of them in sabotage battles.
Although sabotage warfare and infiltration warfare are both types of special warfare, there is a world of difference between the two.
After the court disbanded, everyone left one after another, and Cao Shuo left Chen Zhi behind.
Seeing everyone walk out of the front hall, Chen Zhi turned his head to face Cao Shuo.
"What are the plans of Uncle Zhi?" Cao Shuo asked.
"It's still the same as ever, I rushed in with a small number of cavalry, took people and left." Chen Zhi replied: "As long as the speed is fast enough, they will definitely not be able to react." ”
"If you're on the battlefield and you have a large army behind you, this is undoubtedly a good idea." Cao Shuo shook his head: "But you must know that when you go to Hanzhong, you are facing Yang Song and Yang Bai brothers." And Zhang Wei's soldiers and horses were only a few, and he couldn't support the enemy's attack at all. Once you launch a raid, you will face a powerful enemy that you simply cannot deal with with with the power of the Dragon's Horseman. And Zhang Wei will definitely not come forward to help because you are under siege. ”
Chen Zhi frowned: "Could it be that Zhang Wei doesn't even have a stable defense for us?" ”
"Zhang Wei is not me." The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth twitched, and he said to Chen Zhi: "There are too many things in Shouchun, otherwise I will accompany you to go." But I really can't leave, so I can only rely on yourselves. To leave you behind is to show you a whole new way of fighting. ”
Hearing that Cao Shuo was going to teach him a new method of warfare, Chen Zhi's eyes lit up.
Cao Shuo continued: "What I'm going to tell you is a tactic called infiltration. ”
Chen Zhi listened intently to Cao Shuo's explanation without saying a word.
He knew very well that no matter what he said at this time, it was better to listen carefully and think seriously.
Once the dragon pattern rider arrives in Hanzhong, without the backing of the army, they will indeed be struggling.
According to Chen Zhi's previous thoughts, the attack is likely to fail, and the entire dragon pattern ride will be pasted into it.
"Guo Fengxiao said earlier that when you arrive in Hanzhong, you will only take thirty people to infiltrate the place controlled by the enemy, and the rest of the dragon pattern cavalry will be on the periphery." Cao Shuo said: "You take people to change into enemy armor and sneak in, and first find a place to hide the horses." found Tian Yuanhao and the others, and immediately evacuated with them. ”
"Only rescued Tian Yuanhao, Jiang Ziyi and Zhang Lu?" Chen Zhi asked, "Do you want to rescue the others?" ”
"Rescuing the three of them is your great achievement." Cao Shuo said: "Ignore the others. ”
"If you can rescue some people who are loyal to Zhang Lu, will you also abandon them?" Chen Zhi didn't quite understand what Cao Shuo said.
Cao Shuo nodded: "As long as Zhang Lu lives, there will be no fewer people loyal to him." If you save too many people, you will get into trouble. Ignore anyone who doesn't need to be saved, even if it's easy. ”
"I see!" Cao Shuo's order sounded very impersonal, but Chen Zhi knew very well that every word he said made sense.
For the sake of some irrelevant people, it is still a trivial matter to fill them in themselves.
In case Zhang Yilu, Tian Feng and Jiang Gan are killed, they will have no point in going to Hanzhong this time.
"I understand what the lord said!" Chen Zhi received the order.
"When are you going to leave?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Let's go." Chen Zhi replied: "Hanzhong is not close to Shouchun, and I have to walk for many days to hurry. Tian Gong and the others spend their days there like a year, and if we go a moment earlier, they can also return to Shouchun a moment earlier. ”
"I brought everything with me, and I remembered that Hanzhong contacted Zhang Wei first." Cao Shuo instructed.
Chen responded and bowed down.
After Chen Zhi stepped down, Cao Shuo also stood up.
Coming to the front hall door, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao greeted him.
"My lord." The two greeted each other.
Cao Shuo was about to walk between the two, and Deng Zhan said: "Someone brought news of Penglai just now. ”
Penglai is the place where Cao Shuo settled in the craftsman's workshop to develop new weapons.
Hearing the news from there, Cao Shuo asked, "What happened in Penglai again?" ”
"According to the master's instructions, the craftsman's workshop made cannons with iron tools, and now it has achieved a small success." Deng Zhan said: "The person who came also brought the pattern of the new cannon, please take a look at it." ”
"Call him to the study." Hearing that the craftsman's workshop had made a new cannon, Cao Shuo instructed the two of them.
Back in the study, it didn't take long for Deng Zhan to lead a person to come.
This person was dressed as a craftsman, and entered the study and bowed to Cao Shuo: "I have seen the lord." ”
"You brought the artillery of the new cannon?" Cao Shuo asked.
"It's just a drawing, and the interior is not drawn on the drawing." The man pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom.
Since the relocation of the craftsman workshop to Penglai, the craftsmanship of the paper workshop has also improved a lot.
At the beginning, the paper was still a little rough, and the ink stains would be peeled off when used to write.
The remodeled paper is still a little rough compared to 2,000 years later, but the writing will no longer stain the ink.
With the improvement of paper technology, it gradually replaced the bamboo slips with a limited number of words and very heavy, and also replaced the expensive sheepskin and silk.
Deng Zhan took the pattern and handed it to Cao Shuo with both hands.
Unfolding the pattern and taking a look, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Shuo's mouth.
The cannon that appeared in front of him was shaped like an iron cannon in the late Qing Dynasty.
At a time when he lived, the cannon could only be displayed in museums for people to admire, and it could not be used on the battlefield.
However, it was this kind of weapon that looked very stupid that knocked on the door of China in the late Qing Dynasty and opened the history of humiliation of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years.
Of course, different weapons played different roles in different eras.
Looking at the cannon on the pattern, Cao Shuo asked, "How far can the cannon hit?" ”
"According to Childe's orders, the chamber of the cannon is propelled by gunpowder, and it can shoot more than a hundred steps." The visitor replied: "We have tried to bombard the wall with it, but after thirty or fifty strokes, half of the wall has collapsed. ”
Cao Shuo, who has a knowledge of more than 2,000 years later, certainly knew that it was the widespread use of gunpowder that led to the emergence of cannons, thus ending the castle era in the European Middle Ages.
He built cannons in this era, and the walls would be useless in front of his army.
The walls could no longer stop the advance of the army.
A new war is about to begin!
Stacking up the drawings, Cao Shuo said to the messenger: "You go back to Penglai first, tell Mi Heng, and let him keep an eye on it." In a short time, I will personally go to Penglai to test the gun. ”
When the person came, Cao Shuo said again: "Also, let them develop it again, and equip them with cannons on sea ships and river warships." We have artillery, what other army in the world can be our opponent? ”
"I will definitely convey the instructions of the lord to Penglai." The messenger replied: "Everyone in Penglai is also looking forward to the lord being able to go!" ”
