"Congratulations to my uncle, I won five states in a row in half a month, this speed has never been seen in the history of the Great Song Dynasty." Just as Yang Yanzhao returned to his tent after inspecting the camp outside, he heard a sweet voice congratulating him.

However, although this voice was sweet, it made Yang Yanzhao have a headache when he heard it: "My little ancestor, you still don't plan to go back to the capital?" If your father knew that you had escaped like this, it would be strange if he didn't kill me. ”

"What did my uncle say, I'm also a flower girl, isn't it a little unfriendly for you to call me old, I'm going to be angry." The girl said that, she looked like she was about to cry, and there were almost tears in her eyes.

Yang Yanzhao looked at the girl's appearance, although he knew that she was acting, but he could only surrender helplessly: "Okay, can't I be wrong?" Ling'er is upright and youthful, slim and elegant. ”

It turned out that the girl who appeared in the Great Song Military Camp was none other than Zhao Weiji's eldest princess, His Royal Highness Zhao Ling'er. Because of the lack of annoyance about the princes pursued in the capital, plus the interest in war.

The eldest princess actually put on makeup and mixed into the barracks on the day of the expedition and went out with the army.

Although she was discovered by Yang Yanzhao when she was stationed that night, because Yang Yanzhao really couldn't resist this little devil, and Xiao Nizi had outstanding insights in military affairs, he kept her.

However, this one stayed, but it hurt Yang Yanzhao, now Zhao Ling'er is already a big girl, so naturally she can't be in the same room with Yang Yanzhao at night, even if Yang Yanzhao is dozens of years older than her, it still can't.

So Yang Yanzhao had no choice but to give up his big tent. Let Xiao Nizi sleep here at night. And he could only run to huddle with his son Yang Zongbao at night.

After listening to Yang Yanzhao's words of surrender. Zhao Ling'er's little face immediately showed a smile, and she couldn't tell that she was about to cry just now.

"That's pretty much it, I'll tell you the truth, uncle, my father must have known that I had escaped into your barracks, and with his old fox's head, I guess he would have known the day after I left. If he doesn't send anyone to me for so many days, it means that he certainly has no objection to me going with the army, so your old head will be fine. While Zhao Ling'er was talking, she was still deducing on the sand table.

But just as it was being deduced, Zhao Ling'er muttered in a voice that Yang Yanzhao couldn't hear: "But." My queen mother will surely slaughter you. ”

At this time, Yang Zongbao also entered the big tent, and he came to find Yang Yanzhao: "Father, the army has all been stationed, and now the morale of our army is strong, is it to continue to set off tomorrow and advance towards Datong Mansion?" ”

Just as Yang Zongbao's words fell, and before Yang Yanzhao could answer his question, Zhao Ling'er actually took the lead in interjecting: "Forget it, if you rashly attack Datong Mansion now." Even if you don't lose the battle, you will have to suffer a big loss, so it's better to wait for two more days. ”

For the existence of Zhao Ling'er. Yang Zongbao is aware. But he has always been displeased with Zhao Ling'er, not because she is a princess, but because he is very dissatisfied with a woman's fingers for marching and fighting.

And the key is that this chick can get to the point every time she points fingers, even better than herself, which makes Yang Zongbao even more unhappy.

"I said, Your Royal Highness the Princess, why haven't you returned to the capital to get married? You're not too young anymore, and you'll be an old girl if you don't get married. ”

Zhao Linger is usually the most annoying for others to urge her to get married, although she was born in Yongxi for four years, she is not yet eighteen years old this year, but in ancient times, she should have been married a long time ago.

Although Zhao Weiji was not in a hurry to marry her, he couldn't stand the wife of the old noble minister's family who kept muttering in his mother's ear, which made her very annoying.

Now Yang Zongbao has taken out this matter again, obviously trying to squeeze her, which made Zhao Ling'er's anger come out all of a sudden, and his speech became full of gunpowder: "Yang Zongbao, if you want to die, go to death yourself, don't drag everyone to the funeral." Do you really think that if you have guns and cannons, you will be invincible in the world? You must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people. The Khitans have not dominated the grassland for so many years in vain, and they have suffered enough losses in the cannons in the Battle of Bianliang and the Battle of Lanyuan, so I don't believe they will come up with any countermeasures.

Besides, now the soldiers outside are all the same as you, the best thing to say is that the morale is strong, and to put it ugly, it's called arrogant soldiers, and arrogant soldiers will be defeated, haven't you heard of it?

Let me tell you, as long as the Khitans are willing to put down their bodies and dismount to fight, the role of your artillery will be reduced by at least half, believe it or not? ”

Zhao Linger's words can be described as ruthless, and she simply doesn't take the winning streak all the time seriously. In her eyes, once this team rushes to the city of Datong Mansion now, something will definitely happen.

This point of view made Yang Zongbao unacceptable at all, and the successive victories made Yang Zongbao's self-confidence completely inflated, and he did not believe that the Song army, which had an absolute advantage, would have any accidents.

"Hmph, you're just a little woman, this general is a manly man, don't worry about the little woman, wait for tomorrow when I triumph, see what else you have to say." With that, Yang Zongbao turned around and left the big tent.

This made Yang Yanzhao, who stayed in the tent, a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that he didn't say a word, and the two children quarreled first. However, he didn't take Zhao Ling'er's words seriously like Yang Zongbao.

Yang Yanzhao knew that Zhao Ling'er was not a child, she must have her reason for saying this, and Zhao Ling'er had given correct advice many times along the way, so Yang Yanzhao still wanted to hear the reason why Zhao Ling'er said this.

"Tell uncle, son, why did you come to the conclusion you just did?"

In the face of Yang Yanzhao, Zhao Ling'er didn't dare to be so angry, and Yang Yanzhao had already lowered his posture at this time, in the face of such an elder, Zhao Ling'er had to give him a satisfactory answer.

"Uncle, you first answer me a question, that is, in your heart, are our guns really invincible?" This question stopped Yang Yanzhao at once.

Is the gun really as invincible as it appears? If you find a random Song soldier from outside the tent and ask like this, the answer must be 100% the same, that is, invincible.

But when this question was asked to Yang Yanzhao, he had to think about it seriously, is this gun really invincible?

Because this issue was about the lives of more than 50,000 soldiers in this large battalion, Yang Yanzhao did not dare to draw such arbitrary conclusions.

After thinking about it for about five minutes, Yang Yanzhao finally spoke: "There is a way that one thing descends one thing, I think this gun looks powerful, and it shouldn't be invincible." ”

As soon as she heard Yang Yanzhao answer, Zhao Ling'er knew what she was going to say next, and Yang Yanzhao should be acceptable.

"Since my uncle also knows that this gun is not invincible, then it is definitely not possible to rule out the possibility that our army will lose. In my opinion, this gun has such a few weaknesses, I would like to ask my uncle to refer to it and see if it is right?

First of all, although this artillery is huge, there are two big problems, the first is that the preparation time is too long, and the mobility is extremely poor, right? ”

Yang Yanzhao thought about Zhao Ling'er's words seriously and found that it was such a reason. Every time this gun is erected on the battlefield, it takes a long time to debug.

And there are only two wheels to assist in moving, and every time you carry it, the movement speed is very slow.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ling'er said: "Another point is that although the range of this artillery is very long, it cannot be attacked at close range, that is, as long as it approaches a certain range of the artillery, this artillery is a waste product." ”

Yang Yanzhao nodded again, this artillery is a waste when approaching the battle is basically a fact that everyone knows. Fortunately, in previous battles, the enemy has been able to collapse the entire enemy outside the range of the artillery, so this weakness has not been discovered for the time being.

"But, Ling'er, don't we still have rifles, if we are approached by the enemy, wouldn't it be nice to let the infantry attack with rifles?"

Regarding this question, Zhao Ling'er smiled: "Uncle, although this rifle is also very powerful, but to put it bluntly, it is a thing of the same nature as a bow and arrow, that is, if it can't shoot people, it is no different from a wooden stick." As I said before, if the Khitans were willing to dismount and fight us, this battle would not be so easy to win. ”

In the end, Zhao Ling'er still didn't explain to Yang Yanzhao what was going on with the Khitans dismounting and fighting. But Zhao Ling'er gave Yang Yanzhao a suggestion, that is, only 5,000 soldiers with 50 artillery pieces to attack Datong Mansion tomorrow.

With the power of artillery, fifty guns are completely capable of taking Datong Mansion, and five thousand soldiers armed with rifles should be enough, in theory.

Regarding Zhao Ling'er's suggestion, Yang Yanzhao finally accepted it with suspicion, because Zhao Ling'er was right, according to the previous battle situation, 5,000 people and 50 artillery pieces were indeed enough.

But didn't Zhao Ling'er say before that if he fought tomorrow, wouldn't he be defeated, why did he only invest so few troops in the battle that must be lost.

Zhao Ling'er's explanation for this is: "If you win, these people are enough." If that fails, sending only a few men can reduce the damage. ”

So, the next day, the army remained in place, while Yang Zongbao set off for Datong Mansion with 5,000 men and 50 artillery pieces.

Before leaving, Yang Yanzhao also told him: "If the situation is not right, retreat immediately, it is nothing more than to delay a little more time, what we have at this time is, don't be reckless, the gains will outweigh the losses when the time comes." ”

However, looking at Yang Zongbao's expression when he left, Yang Yanzhao knew that most of Zhao Ling'er's failure predictions were about to come true. (To be continued......)
