Tanehiko pursed his lips and stared at the weapon in front of him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sergeant of the Fourth Army of the Huaxia Army regarded his weapon as a treasure and refused to touch him, so he could only look closer, but he could not stretch out his hand.

Infantry with muskets.

This childish-looking soldier of the Fourth Army widened his eyes and looked at Chong Yanchong vigilantly.

"Well, I have this, you see, I got it from the big eater who came with the thieves in the west, and he said that he got it from the Taixi people in the extreme west, and gave it to you, how about you give me the infantry a musket?"

After thinking about it, Chong Yanchong decided to use bribes.

He found a golden thing, a cross tied to a thin chain, originally obtained by the Seljuks from the invading crusaders, and fell into the hands of Chong Yanchong, who had always regarded it as a treasure because of its exotic charm. Now he took it out, just to get a touch of the infantry with a musket.

Of course it was denied.

"Hugh wants to lead me to make mistakes, if you really want to know the use of this weapon, try its power, go directly to our superiors, don't come to me." The warrior's eyes were round, and he didn't look at the cross.

Chong Yanchong was very helpless, and at the same time secretly admired, this was not the first Fourth Army soldier he was looking for, but no matter who he was looking for, the response was the same: it was impossible to hand over the weapon to him without the permission of his superiors.

Chongyan sighed regretfully, and then looked at the rest of the Fourth Army soldiers.

Only the unit around Zhou Quan was fully equipped with muskets, and there were still a large number of soldiers in the Fourth Army who still wore armor. Chong Yanchong estimated that the proportion of people equipped with muskets was about a quarter, and the Fourth Army had a total of 25,000 people, so about 6,000 people were equipped with muskets.

I heard that it is not easy to manufacture this musket, that is, Zhou Quan can make it produce on a large scale, Rao is so, and the number of good products produced in a year is not much, so the number of equipment is limited. The Fourth Army was already equipped with the highest proportion of muskets, and in the other armies, only one-sixth of the soldiers were equipped with muskets.

"What's your name, can you always tell me?" After looking around, Chong Yanchong said.

"Yuan Fu." The warrior said.

He was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and although he was vigilant, he was also curious about the world. Chong Yanchong almost said: "Where are you from?" ”

"Yuan Fu, a native of Hongzhou, in addition to him, there is also me, also from Jiangnan West Road." At this moment, Chong Yanchong heard another person beside him.

Chong Yanchong looked back and couldn't help but be stunned: What a heroic young man!

What interjected was another sergeant of the Fourth Army, judging from the epaulettes, he was a gang commander, and according to the military system of the Huaxia Army, he should be the so-called non-commissioned officer. This person has a pair of sword eyebrows, eyes like electricity, blazing eyes, and in addition to carrying an infantry musket behind him, there is also a short spear, which looks a little different from other Chinese army sergeants.

"Are you ......," Chong Yanchong couldn't help but ask.

"Yang Zaixing, a native of Jizhou." The boy replied proudly.

Chong Yanchong looked at the short spear he was carrying, and was wondering whether to ask, when Yuan Fu said: "Our gang leader is the first in the whole army's martial arts competition, that is, General Wu and General Li, and he is full of praise for him, saying that he was not as good as him when he was young!" ”

Chong Yanchong was stunned: "The first in the whole army's martial arts competition? ”

Even if it is only the Fourth Army of the Huaxia Army, there are more than 20,000 people, and among the more than 20,000 people, it is conceivable that he must be a fierce general. This young man looks extremely heroic and has extraordinary eyebrows, but Chong Yanchong still didn't expect that he would be able to overwhelm the first army!

After a while, Chong Yanchong asked again: "Isn't your army all using muskets, why do you still have a whole army competition?" ”

"A musket has the shortcomings of a musket, and a spear has the strengths of a spear." Yang Zaixing looked at Chong Yanchong, and there was a battle intent beating in his eyes: "I heard that the son of Chong is strong in martial arts, and he once killed more than ten Western thieves and fierce generals in one burst, and returned with his whole body...... Do we take a hand when we have time? ”

It turned out that Chongyan Chong stared at the musket, but he never thought that he was also stared at. Before Chong Yanchong could respond, he heard the sound of the horn, Yang Zaixing smacked his lips, showing regret: "It's a pity, it doesn't seem to be possible today, Yuan Fu, gather with me!" ”

The officers and men of the Fourth Army, who had originally dispersed, gathered one after another at the sound of the horn, and in just a few minutes, they lined up. The Western Army is known as the elite, but with so many sergeants, it takes nearly half an hour to assemble and line up. Seeing this scene, Chong Yanchong couldn't help but have a fever on his face.

When he returned to his uncle, he saw that the face of the planter was a little blue, and he couldn't help asking, "Boss, what's the matter, isn't it speculative to talk to King Ji?" ”

"No, King Ji wants to recover Yanzhou, but he refuses to use our people." The middle way of the planter.

Hearing that Zhou Quan wanted to recapture Yanzhou, the seed master immediately asked for an order to use the headquarters as the forward, but Zhou Quan politely refused. He said that the Western army was exhausted, and that this battle was not a big war, and there was no need for the other side at all.

This made the center a little embarrassed.

"Don't use our people...... So how did he storm the city, although the muskets were sharp...... With a cannon? Chong Yanchong thought of this.

The loss of Yanzhou has something to do with the fact that the western thieves brought a large number of artillery, and the fortress with Yanzhou as the center was enough to form a huge defense system, but in the face of artillery, those fortresses were extremely vulnerable, where could they block the artillery, so they were peeled off by the western thieves like shells.

The seed master nodded: "It should be a cannon, in this world, there is no one who beats King Ji, but the role of cannons is limited after all, if you want to capture the city, you need hand-to-hand combat." ”

Artillery has been on the battlefield for more than a decade, and all sides have summed up some ways to deal with artillery. When attacking the city, the biggest role of artillery is not to kill and injure the enemy, but to destroy the city defense, so if you really want to recover Yanzhou, you still need to rely on frontal killing.

"King Ji is a soldier who knows the soldiers, and General Yue is a number of famous generals, they should know how to fight the enemy." Chong Yanchong had a strong confidence in the Fourth Army.

The planter glanced at him and snorted in his heart, he hoped that the Fourth Army would suffer a little, and then his Western Army would come in handy. If this can be done, the status of the Western Army in Zhou Quan's mind will be different, and the situation in the future will be better.

At this time, in the city of Yanzhou, the Taifu in Li Qianshun's mouth, the Seljuk Empire's Atabeg, and the eagle-nosed man with a thick beard also received a report from the scout: "The Song army that withdrew from Yanzhou is back, and there are also reinforcements from the Song State with them!" ”

This Taifu's name is Omar, and before the nominal supreme commander Li Qianshun can speak, he raised his eyebrows: "It's just in time, the true god is above, I want to kill all these damn heretics!" ”

Li Qianshun was silent, his eyes flickered for a moment, but Omar noticed the change in his expression, and said in a deep voice: "What, Peach Blossom Stone King, do you have any different opinions?" ”

"The coach on the opposite side is called Seed Master, and in the past few years, Taifu has also known that he is a difficult opponent. Originally, he gave up Yanzhou, but at this time, he fought back, and strong reinforcements must arrive. I doubt it...... The reinforcements are the king of the sea. ”

Zhou Quan in the mouth of the big food merchant is not the king of Ji, but the king of the sea, and after it was passed to the Seljuks, the Seljuks also called it the king of the sea. Li Qianshun has now converted to the Great Food God Sect, and Western Xia has become one of the many subject states of Seljuk, so naturally he will also regard Seljuk as Zhengshuo and call Zhou Quan the king of the sea.

"It's impossible, there's no news!" Omar Road.

Li Qianshun did not argue.

He knew why Omar dared to be so confident, the "faceless" next to Wushu had an intelligence network in the Great Song Dynasty, and now Wushu had taken refuge in the Seljuks, and he was generally a subject of the Seljuk Empire, so the information naturally had to be shared with Omar.

But when Omar said this, he muttered a little in his heart. The king of the sea, known to the Sultan as the Lord of the Devil, was considered the greatest enemy of the true God's glory. And the other party's record is indeed amazing, Wushu, Confession, and Li Qianshun around him are really defeated in the hands of that person.

"Let the scout check again, what kind of troops it is." Omar commanded.

Without waiting for the new scouts to be sent out, soon, someone reported: "It's King Ji's Huaxia army here, it's King Ji who is here!" ”

The scouts were naturally all people from the vicinity of the border fortress, both party members and Han people who took refuge. But no matter who it is, when it comes to "King Ji is coming", his face is like earth, and he trembles one by one. Omar was disgusted by this look, but the news he received immediately made him angry.

"Artillery team, many, many cannons!"

The Huaxia Army began to seize the high ground on the outskirts of Yanzhou and set up artillery positions for the artillery they brought!

Dozens of scouts died before they got the exact news that the number of artillery pieces brought by the Huaxia army was very terrifying, as many as 100. This amount made Omar also feel panicked, after all, the Huaxia Army is the ancestor of playing artillery in this era!

"You can't sit and wait here, although the Sea King's army has a lot of artillery, but there are not many troops, they only have tens of thousands of people, we have to force him to fight a decisive battle before he sets up the artillery array!"

Omar's calculation was wishful, but Li Qianshun finally spoke at this time.

It doesn't matter if other things make Omar mess up, but if it really starts, the main thing that dies is Li Qianshun's people, after all, Seljuk's army has not yet arrived in Yanzhou, and it is still parading the army in Lingzhou.

"No, no, Zhou Quan is scheming, if he fights hastily, I'm afraid he will fall for his plan!"

"Then what do you say, just wait here for him to bombard with artillery, Yanzhou can't even stand our forty artillery, where can he afford his hundred artillery?" Omar said dissatisfiedly: "King of Peach Blossom Stone, you are the lord of the east appointed by the Sultan, if you don't have the guts, how can you be worthy of being the master of the east?" ”

Li Qianshun's face sank when he heard this, this Omar, relying on his status as a prisoner, has to point fingers at everything, and he is extremely polite when he speaks, Li Qianshun has put up with him for a long time.

With a twist of thought, Li Qianshun smiled: "What Taifu said is also true, it's better to do this, please ask Taifu to go into battle and test the strength of the Sea King." With the protection of the true gods, these heretics will surely flee from the wilderness! ”

Omar's hawkeyes suddenly rolled up: "Since you said that it is not appropriate to fight hastily, then don't fight, you say, what should I do?" ”

"Return to the army, burn Yanzhou City, let's go back to Lingzhou, and when the Sultan's army arrives, we will fight them again!" Li Qian said by the way.

He was really afraid of Zhou Quan, and would rather go back and be reprimanded by the Sultan than go to war with Zhou Quan.
