Chapter 105: Shoddy Assault Boat
Thank you for the generous reward of "The Black Hole Was Blown Away by the Wind"!! I hope you will continue to support and publicize more, and thank you for it!!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Look, is there a situation over there?" One was lying in the grass and touched his partner with his elbow.
"It seems that someone, you are watching here, I will go and tell the adults." After the man had finished speaking, he cautiously withdrew from the hiding place and ran quickly towards the tent.
"Report!"
"Come in!" Shen Zhongyuan, who was exercising, heard a report and had to pause.
"Report to your lordship, there seems to be a situation on the mountain behind!" After the person who came to enter the camp and got permission to enter the tent, he saluted Shen Zhongyuan before speaking.
"Lord Shen, what's wrong?" Sun Fu heard the movement and rushed over from the camp next door.
"Back to Lord Sun's words, there seems to be a situation on the mountain behind us just now, let's go out and have a look."
"Good, good!"
Shen Zhongyuan and Sun Fu came to the outside of the camp tent, took out a clairvoyant from his chest, and looked in the direction of his subordinates, he seemed to hand the clairvoyant to Sun Fu after a while: "Lord Sun, look, the birds on the mountain have left their nests, there should be someone moving, and there are still a lot of postures." This winter, the snow is vast, and there is no one else here except us, who must have come for us. ”
"Makes sense, what is Lord Shen going to do?" Sun Fu put away the clairvoyance and handed it back to Shen Zhongyuan.
He didn't think it was strange that Shen Zhongyuan had clairvoyance, in fact, the one he used to fool the Liao Shengzong was just an experimental specimen, and the improved clairvoyance like the one Shen Zhongyuan took was the standard configuration of the important military generals of the Great Song Dynasty now, far more than that experimental specimen, and he could see it far and clearly. Although Shen Zhongyuan is not a military general, he has a special status, so he also enjoys this honor.
In fact, this glass has been made for a long time, after all, Tao San has Zhao Zhen's guidance, and it is not very difficult, but Zhao Zhen wanted to make a windfall from glass, so he didn't make it public, but just made some clairvoyance for military use.
Shen Zhongyuan carefully withdrew the clairvoyance before saying to Sun Fu: "No matter who the other party is or what idea he has, let's be careful, Lord Sun will trouble you to gather the other adults." ”
"No problem!"
"Beep...... Beep" Shen Zhongyuan finished explaining, took out a whistle, and blew it vigorously.
After a while, whether they were resting or standing guard, they were all dressed neatly and assembled in front of Shen Zhongyuan.
"Report, a team is assembled!"
"Report, the second team is assembled!"
Shen Zhongyuan returned the salute to the two captains and shouted loudly: "All of them, stand up!" At ease! When an emergency is discovered, immediately according to the predetermined plan, abandon the ceremonial clothes and replace them with combat equipment, the first and second teams are responsible for inflating the special tents, and the brocade guards are responsible for taking care of the adults and vigilance, and act! ”
With Shen Zhongyuan's order, the soldiers quickly took off their useless ceremonial clothes, revealing the cold and shining arrow clothing inside, and opened the package and took out crossbows and arrows to hang on their bodies.
After arming themselves, these soldiers rushed to the camp again, and a group of people cooperated with each other, some built skeletons, and some held hand-cranked blowers to cheer up, and it didn't take long for two "motor boats" to be born.
There is nothing to say, this "motorboat" must only be capable of Zhao Zhen, but this tent turned into a "motorboat" is really a lot of what he did. As we all know, there were no rubber trees in Asia during the Song Dynasty, and rubber trees would stay well in the Americas, so he had the intention of going to sea in a team, but it would take a long time.
In the end, Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time, and finally remembered that there was something that could reluctantly replace the rubber tree, thanks to a wild fruit he had eaten when he was a child, this wild fruit had a very strange name - cat poop melon, he also accidentally saw a message, only to know that this cat poop melon is also natural rubber, but the quality can not catch up with the rubber produced by the rubber tree.
Zhao Zhen thought about it, anyway, there is no rubber available now, so let's try this thing first! In the end, under his wise leadership and the joint efforts of colleagues in the research institute, this inferior rubber was finally clucked out. However, what disappointed him was that this inferior rubber could not be used as the tire of his dream, and of course the assault boat of the Jiangfang fleet was also in vain.
But this matter let Wang Shenli's student named Wei Pu know, he is a tendon, Zhao Zhen is because of the influence of knowledge after a thousand years, which caused him to naturally abandon this inferior rubber. Wei Pu is different, he has never seen what the rubber of the later generations looks like, there is this new thing out, enough for him to play for a long time, and finally he mixed the inferior rubber with linen, it became the simplest rainproof cloth, and also used this to make an assault boat, of course, the life of this assault boat is a little bit off the table, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
As for turning the assault boat into a tent and from a tent to an assault boat, it was done by a person who had nothing to do with science, that is, Shen Zhongyuan, who was in front of him and commanded in a hurry. Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, it is the first time to accept a high-level order from the Holy Lord to escort the top ministers of the imperial court to the Liao State to do business, but he can't be sloppy, he decided to go out in person, and he has fully interpreted the possible situation, this emergency plan for retreating from the river must also be considered.
So the question arises again, where to get a boat in an emergency?
When Shen Zhongyuan racked his brains to think about this problem, it happened that Wei Pu's works entered his field of vision, and everything fell into place. He thought that his journey would be safe and sound, and he had no chance to let his proud work come out! God really opened his eyes, and finally sent him a chance to show off.
By the time they had completed all the preparations, the figure of the horse thief was already faintly visible, looking at the enemies who were several times their size, and they were all cavalrymen, even if Shen Zhongyuan was a master of art, he was not only a little big-headed, if he didn't have these civil officials, he really didn't mind having an unforgettable lesson with these simple-minded and well-developed guys, and at this moment, it was important to protect people first.
"Hurry up and take the adults to the other side of the river, and then find something to burn and make some smoke out." Shen Zhongyuan shouted loudly at several of his guarded subordinates.
"Yes, my lord, what about you?"
"This river is not wide, it may not be able to block them, this official will stay and meet them, so as to buy time for you to cross the river, you must protect a few adults, go quickly!"
"Yes, sir!"
A few brocade guards hurriedly helped those officials of the Ministry of Rites to get on the boat, but they didn't expect these people to lose their temper, they refused to retreat, and wanted to fight the horse thieves, all said that there were many civil officials in the Song Dynasty who wanted to lose their faces, especially the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial History, Shen Zhongyuan saw their urine today.
But he had to persuade him with kind words: "Master Sun, you can take them away quickly!" You can't let go of your hands and feet here! You can rest assured, although the sergeants who came out this time are all sergeants from the front division of the palace, which is not suitable for field combat, but the lower official just saw it, and the other party did not bring bows and arrows, as long as the lower officials do not have to divide their hands to protect you, the lower officials promise to beat them all down, and never embarrass our Great Song, what do you think? ”
After listening to Shen Zhongyuan's words, some people were silent, and some people still said that they wanted to take a broken knife and fight to the death, but fortunately, Sun Fu was the biggest official in the middle, so he suppressed them all and took a group of indignant guys on the boat. As long as they were all on the other side of the river, Shen Zhongyuan would not worry about the enemy's cavalry bypassing them to pursue them, so he could play with them here.
After this toss, the horse thieves were only two miles away from them, and even the knives they held in their hands could be seen to be real.
"Brothers! The time has come to test you, although there are more enemies than us, but don't forget how you usually train, everyone cheers up, as long as you can go home safely, this official guarantees a great reward! ”
"Don't worry, sir! If we dare to follow the adults out, there will be no one of them, and besides, don't we just want to fight them to the death! Collect some interest today. ”
"Well, there's a kind! Formation! ”
......With Shen Zhongyuan's order, the two teams of soldiers quickly formed two circular formations, and the six soldiers in each team holding the shield slammed the bottom of the shield into the soil to resist the impact of the cavalry.
The icy and snowy environment has a great impact on the movement of the infantry, and the cavalry is not immune, at least the speed of the horse thieves is lower than usual. Seeing that the people of the Song Dynasty did not run away, the horse thieves were like being beaten with chicken blood, and frantically twitched the horse whip, which made the speed increase to a certain extent.
Shen Zhongyuan looked coldly at the oncoming enemy, silently calculating the distance, and when they were about three hundred meters away, he finally gave an order: "The divine arm crossbow is aimed at the front free fire, and the repeater is ready!" ”
The two squad leaders waited for this sentence, and quickly pulled the trigger towards the target that had been aiming for a long time, only to see the two people on the opposite side plant their horses in response, and suddenly this change occurred, and the other horse thieves also instinctively retracted the horse rope, causing the speed to decrease slightly.
At this time, the bearded strong man shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, the other party is just two archers, hurry over and smash them all into meat sauce, rush!" ”
At the instigation of this strong man, the horse thief began to speed up again, but this gave the two squad leaders another chance, and the two seized the opportunity and killed two more.
"Repeater shooting!" After two rounds of divine arm crossbow strikes, the enemy had completely entered the shooting range of the repeater, and the four repeaters scattered more than 100 arrows in a very short period of time.
At this moment, the horse thieves are just like Hu Yanzhuo, the party item of the year, the first time they encountered such a strange saturation attack, even if they were good at equestrianism, they could not avoid the rain of arrows, plus they collided with each other in the chaos, and finally broke through the rain of arrows and came to the front of the number of people who were basically the same as the Song army, and some people or horses had arrows stuck in their bodies, but they did not hurt the vital point.
Their leader, the strong man, was not injured at all, probably due to his two big axes, but he was now frightened and angry in his heart, and he held the big axe and roared: "Brothers, kill! Kill them all! Avenge the dead brethren! ”
Kill Kill Kill ......
A group of Song people who can only dodge archery and never dare to face it head-on, now look at how you still shoot arrows, wash your necks and wait for the master, who promises to split you all in half, this strong man rushed over with his two big plate axes.
