Chapter 672: Strong

The Jiaozhi people in the forest were frightened-1-A soldier came out of the bushes and asked Li Ritong, this time speaking in the local language of Jiaozhi, which Zheng Lang did not understand.

He looked with interest at the rattan armor on the Cochin soldier.

With iron armor, rattan armor was equally common, cheap, lightweight, and adapted to wear in hot weather, as well as for marching in the jungle on hot days. Of course, the main reason is that it is cheap. With the financial revenue of the Song Dynasty, it was impossible for the soldiers to wear the infantry vests, one-third of the soldiers wore various paper armor, cloth armor, cotton armor, and leather armor, and the remaining two-thirds of the soldiers could reach less than half of the qualified infantry armor and horse armor. After Zheng Lang entered the two mansions, after integrating the Ordnance Prison, he did not increase the pass rate of the soldiers' infantry armor and vest to two-thirds. It's too expensive. Not to mention the financial resources of Cochin.

Zheng Lang took a closer look, although it was a rattan armor, the workmanship was very good, and it was more sophisticated than the temporary rattan armor that Yuan Qian prepared for himself in Guangzhou, and he thought of Zhuge Liang's burning of rattan armor soldiers written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

That's impractical, because people are moving, and with today's technology, it's impossible to set fires quickly on a large scale. Unless it is like burning Chibi, a large-scale water battle, the ships are concentrated, and the ships are burned. It is impossible to burn Huarong Dao, the vegetation in the south is too lush at this time, and it is evergreen all year round, such as the dwarf forest in front of you, if you don't cut it down, how to make it burn quickly and easily, it is estimated that it is very difficult.

Rattan armor is rattan armor after all, and it is not as said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the defense is better than the iron armor, and the defense against swords and arrows is far less than the iron armor, but it is light and flexible, low cost, and fast manufacturing.

It's about a quick rush. That's why they came wearing rattan armor, or Jiaozhi knew that their armor was far inferior to the armor of the Song Dynasty, so he simply didn't wear the self-made iron armor. Save the shame. However, when used in this low forest, the advantages of the rattan armor are infinitely magnified, and it is not only flexible. It also has a slight protective color to stop the spines from scratching the skin.

It was dark and cloudy.

Dark clouds are drifting in the sky, not like the scenery before a storm, but it may rain in the afternoon. However, the wind is not in the right direction, but it blows in the northeast direction, and if it is a southeast wind, it will be wonderful. But it doesn't matter.

Listen to the soldier's stiff and ugly cochin language. Zheng Lang suddenly felt that time and space overlapped.

This life and the past life are intertwined together.

Looking at the sky stupidly, he whispered in his heart, this calamitous nation has almost brought the fire of civilization to all mankind and brought hope, but since Zhao Kuangyi, it has come more and more to the other side of darkness. The Mongol Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the Japanese invasion brought tens of millions of people to the massacre every time, and even a small Jiaozhi had to be on the head repeatedly, and even the future Luzon.

What's going on.

The two muttered. The soldier actually stared at Zheng Lang with a contemptuous and hateful eye.

Zheng Lang couldn't help but laugh.

The soldiers quickly burrowed into the jungle, and Zheng Lang ordered the soldiers to disperse the people back, and there would be a battle here in a while, bows and arrows flying wildly, and none of them had long eyes. Then a cart was pushed out, and the soldier took down boxes from the cart.

Li Ritong shouted: "It's not fair. ”

"This is war, what is fairness, is it fair to let my subordinates ride into that thorny bush to compete with your subordinates in the bow and arrow!"

The people in the back laughed again.

This cross-toe messenger is simply a showman.

Not only did large and small boxes be moved, but there were also more than a dozen strange coffin-like things.

In the end, one thing arrived, an airboat.

Originally, it was going to be transported to Guangzhou, Yuan Qian thought about it, Zheng Lang still had to return to Xunzhou, and various barbarians were also rushing to Xunzhou in a steady stream to show Zheng Lang the loyalty of the imperial court, maybe this air boat could come in handy.

But Zheng Lang didn't move. …,

Once it will work, twice it will be normal, and three times it will be flooded.

With the cooperation of hundreds of large clans in the first two times, it was enough for Zheng Lang.

If the two Guangxi want to develop all of them, it will take at least 15 years or more, but now they will drop 60 million yuan, and they can only pull Guangzhou and other three or four prefectures into noodles, and other places can only pull the line into blocks and points into lines. For example, can the northwest corner of Xunzhou be developed?

Of course, there is a welcome, but there is no need to waste too much energy.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy, yesterday Li Ritong was leading people to observe the situation in the dwarf forest, but Zheng Lang ordered someone to expand the airboat again, which is the real winning weapon.

Seeing this airboat, obviously Li Ritong had also heard about it, but he always thought it was a legend and an exaggeration, but his face became a little ugly, and just as he was about to speak, the drum had already sounded!

The rest of the Song Dynasty soldiers quickly left the scene, leaving no room for maneuver.

Li Ritong looked at the little hanging blue again, and then looked at the dwarf forest, and suddenly his heart settled down, even if it carried people to the sky, and there were lush leaves growing on the woods, what could it do?

What did he think, Cao Beiwei didn't care, and quietly inflated and heated the airboat with his subordinates, and when the balloon came out, including Zheng Lang, there were still many links that had not been designed, that is, in Hangzhou, he pretended to be a ghost, and many technologies were not mature. It wasn't until the time of King Pingze, although he crossed one level, but after Zheng Lang's guidance, Shi Heng took many craftsmen to develop and develop, and he really matured. However, its practicality is still not very great, except in special cases, such as this time, most of them can only play a role in opening up people's minds, after all, the sky seems to be no longer a dream for human beings.

Zheng Su and Zheng Hao were on horses, their eyes fixed on the woods.

In fact, with the expansion of the airboat, the dozens of Jiaozhi soldiers in the forest have already generated a lot of pressure. But this is a small war that never stops, still restraining the fear in the heart, lurking in the woods. Li Ritong also confessed, no matter what, don't go out of the forest, just die with the Song army in the forest, this is the home of the Song Dynasty, if it takes three or two days, the Song Dynasty will lose face. Anyway, if you have enough dry food and want to drink water, there is a river next to it, and the river water is very clean. It doesn't matter if you stay for three days or four days.

Zheng Lang raised his head and looked at the sky. Fortunately, the wind is not very strong, otherwise the situation will become very bad if the wind is against the wind.

The airboat finally rose into the wind, and it took nearly an hour. Finally got it done, Cao Beiwei commanded a few soldiers and moved the box to Hanging Blue. Take that subordinate into the hanging blue. The behemoth floated up outside Xunzhou City again.

"Wow!" Seeing it, many people let out a scream.

Zheng Su took out his subordinates one by one and took out special big earplugs to plug the ears of the war horse.

The corners of Li Ritong's mouth moved. Closed again.

Wang Sui had already reacted and knew what Zheng Lang was going to do, so he came to Zheng Lang's side and whispered: "Zheng Xianggong, they are messengers......"

"Wang Ti, if you have a great mother, but others always like to insult her, what do you do?"

How can "......" make this analogy.

Zheng Lang picked up a handful of soil from the ground and said, "Wang mention." It is this land and water that nurtures me and raises me, it is this country, and it is the trust of the emperor that has made me serve as the prime minister for more than four years as the son of a declining petty official eunuch, and the power is overwhelming. This country is my second mother. I won't allow anyone to blaspheme her! ”

Wang was speechless.

Now Zheng Lang's moral integrity is daunting, and his low-key style increases people's respect for him, who dares to doubt that his words are not from the bottom of his heart?

The cochin man insulted his great mother, and of course he was in a hurry. Come to think of it. Dumbfounding. …,

The airboat got higher and higher, and the soldiers below finally loosened the rope, and under the control of Cao Beiwei, they began to slowly float over the low forest. Then the sparkling packets fell, and then the balls fell into the forest with the light of the fire.

Then a loud sound like thunder came out, and a terrible scream rang out in the forest. With just one voice, if this forest hides a few thousand soldiers, it may not be a big one, but if it hides forty people, it is considered a big one. A few gunpowder packs went down, killing only one person. But it is not fatal, thanks to the research and development of weapons by the Song army, it turns out that there are many complex ingredients in gunpowder, such as wolf poison, grass head black, arsenic, tung oil, dry paint, croton, asphalt, yellow wax and so on.

There is nothing that can be done to deal with the enemy in an area of several square kilometers, which is only the size of 30 acres, and it is enough to hide 40 people, but in fact, the area is not large, and as the "incendiary bombs" fall into the forest one by one, puffs of smoke rise. One of the most ruthless is the wolf venom, not only the smoke of the burning chokes, but also contains some poisonous ingredients, just a moment, dozens of Cochin people out of the forest, trying to escape to the reeds by the river.

Zheng Lang shouted: "Send soldiers on the ship and shout to them, if you go out of the low forest, you will not be killed." ”

"It's not fair," Mr. Lee shouted.

"Li Ritong, how did you agree with you, the place of battle is limited to the open space of two hundred steps in front of the dense forest and the forest, and there is no forgiveness for killing people out of these two areas. As for fairness, this is war, and war is full of tricks, and it is a question to show who will fight a fair battlefield stupidly. Or ask you again, I have a million troops in my dynasty, how many troops do you have in Jiaozhi? My country's annual income is more than 100 million yuan, how much income do you have in a year? If the two countries do not go to war, they will be themselves, and once the war starts, there will never be fairness to you! I have always been gentle with your cross-toes, but your cross-toes are going to invade every few years, is it fair? Do you really think that you have a lot of dense forests in Cochin and can play a protective role? In wartime, there will be dozens of ways to force your army out of the jungle and go head-to-head with our army. If you try to fight head-on, as long as they go out of the forest, they will never let their subordinates drop any gunpowder bags and wolf poison bombs. ”

Li Ritong was speechless.

After thinking for a while, he shouted loudly, not knowing what he was shouting, but seeing that the soldiers began to cut off their clothes with knives, stained them with water, and retreated before the Song soldiers' boat reached the outskirts of the reeds, while covering their noses with those wet cloths, they fled into the forest.

Zheng Lang sneered and said in his heart, so that he can escape?

The airboat floated back again, throwing down the iron anchor, and Lei Li Ri was in a cold sweat, daring to love the Song people to treat this behemoth as a ship. The empty box was thrown down, and the rope was hung down, and the two coffins were hung up, which were very heavy, and the two big men felt it difficult to lift up, and they paused from time to time to rest while lifting. It was less than 100 meters high, but it took very little time to hang it.

Li Ritong didn't know what it was used for, but Wang Xuan, Bao Ke and Shang Tong were all in a cold sweat. Bao Ke suddenly said: "Let the people retreat again, and then retreat." ”

, the wall that was so strong in Bay State collapsed all at once. How powerful is this explosion?

It's not that serious, the form is about the same, but it's much smaller. There were only more than 100 catties of gunpowder inside, but unlike the last coffin, the wooden planks on the coffin were very thin. made the stamping upward, but this time it was the thin plates around the coffin, so that the impulse spread, and there was no closure of the soil, and the pressure was not as strong as that time, Zheng Lang could only wrap another layer of iron sheet inside. Slowly drifted past again. Li Ritong shouted outside again, telling his subordinates to pay attention to the two coffins and stay away from them when they fall. Otherwise, the prison envoy next to him wouldn't be so nervous. It must be very powerful. …,

Two coffins fell.

Zheng Lang shouted: "Cover your ears." ”

The onlookers learned together that Zheng Lang plugged his ears with his hands.

The coffin fell to the ground, and two loud noises rang out, as if the world was about to be destroyed, and even though they stood on the periphery, they felt the earth tremble and their bodies tremble. Many of the people were first shaken and covered. Then he knelt on the ground and muttered prayers. Then I saw the low forest, and the forest seemed to be like a super tornado, and countless trees and thorny turf were thrown into the air one after another, and then fell to the ground fiercely. There were puffs of smoke and dust. It was as if two mushroom clouds were rising.

Everyone was stunned, especially the barbarian chieftains, who had ghosts in their hearts, and they fell to their knees like chickens. They imagined in their hearts what would happen if Song Jun drove dozens of these huge spaceships to the sky above their village and dropped this weapon. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

The airship floated back again, hoisted the boxes up again, and floated back into the forest, where the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, and through the layers of gray haze, two huge white holes could be seen in the forest. No one knows whether the Cochin people were killed or not, it is estimated that they were killed, and the screams could not be heard at that time.

Li Ritong's face was already piled up with layers of dark clouds, and he was also thinking, what would happen if this thing flew to Jiaozhi?

There was another series of explosions, but they were nothing compared to the two explosions just now. As the poisonous smoke spread through the forest again, the airship flew back and hung the coffin in the sky.

There were a few howls in the woods, and thirty-one figures rushed out.

The funny side appeared, after most of the soldiers escaped from the forest, they opened their bows and arrows, ready to resist, but a few soldiers threw away their swords and bows and arrows, and fell to the ground and shouted surrender in stammering Chinese.

Zheng Su raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted, "Kill." ”

Arrows are flying, horses are running.

Sure enough, it was a carefully selected soldier, so embarrassed, although it was a southern horse, after all, it was a horse, and in the high-speed running, there were only two waves of arrow rain, less than sixty arrows, and actually shot two horsemen. One of the horsemen was not seriously wounded by an arrow, let out a loud roar, and was dragged out of the flesh with the arrow. Blood was still spurting from his elbows, and he continued to ride his horse with his scimitar towards the cochin soldiers. The ferocity once again put these barbarians to shame. Not only is it high-tech, but the soldiers are also fierce.

The other rider was in a bad situation, and an arrow hit him in the chest and he fell off his horse, because his foot was still in the horse's pedal, which dragged the horse a long way.

These horsemen followed Zheng Lang for a long time, and seeing him sacrifice, Zheng Lang couldn't help but clench his fists and roar angrily: "Kill." ”

As if hearing his words, the horse went faster, raising puffs of dust, and the sound of the horse's hooves trampling on the ground made a hurried march. They had already rushed in front of the Cochin soldiers, and some of them were so frightened that they fled into the forest, but where was the time? Some of the Jiaozhi soldiers still bravely put down their bows and arrows, drew their waist swords, and wanted to fight hard.

"Kill," almost at the same time, more than 30 horsemen raised their big knives and slashed down, the horses were still running, but the knives were waving again and again, although some people were resisting, but there was almost no enemy, and the knife would die. Zheng Lang's eyes narrowed, and in a short moment, Zheng Lang saw a secret, it was not that the dozens of soldiers in Jiaozhi were not brave, in the depths of the enemy territory, after this sudden change, there were still half of them resisting, which was good. If the ordinary Song army comes, the performance will be far worse than them. However, it cannot be regarded as a rule, after all, it is a carefully selected warrior, which is different from ordinary soldiers. It has nothing to do with bravery, but discipline, escaping from the forest, some soldiers surrender on the ground, some resist stubbornly, some want to flee for their lives, and even when shooting arrows, they are not very neat, although it is possible that all of them are archers. …,

This loophole doesn't matter in his own hands, if it is placed in the hands of a famous general like Di Qing, it will be infinitely magnified.

The war horse is still galloping, although it is more than 30 people, it is still not used to the southern horse, but more than 30 people are interspersed with vertical and horizontal, advancing and retreating freely, which is pleasing to the eye. But there is a huge meaning behind this pleasing sight, that is, well-trained! That's the scariest thing.

After only a few intersperses, all 31 Cochin people fell in a pool of blood.

"You, you ......" Li Ritong trembled with anger, pointed at Zheng Lang with his finger, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Don't worry, Li Ritong, since you're here, there's still something I haven't talked about with you," Zheng Lang said, "taking his hand" and pulling him into the city. Don't think that Zheng Lang is a civil official, let alone martial arts, but his family has been in good condition since he was a child, and he is not stingy with himself, and his body is far stronger than ordinary people. Maybe you'll be a good fighter if you practice. Li Ritong's lean body made him like a chicken, almost carrying it to the city.

The crowd had not yet dispersed, watching the airboat land and clean up the battlefield.

Zheng Lang and his party entered the city.

Li Ritong was very angry at Zheng Lang's actions, but suddenly thought that all his forty guards had died, leaving only some useless subordinates and scribes, and this prime minister was ruthless, unimaginable, and became honest.

asked Zheng Lang to forcibly pull him to the state office, Zheng Lang said, "Sit down." ”

"I'm not convinced."

"It doesn't matter, one day, I will let you Jiaozhi people be completely convinced and honest from top to bottom."

"You!"

"My tenet is that when a friend comes, there is good wine, and when an enemy comes, there is a sword and a gun. Blind felt was originally hostile to our dynasty, but later he sincerely returned to our dynasty, and he was a friend, and he was also very kind to him. But if he is not honest, so-and-so will make him honest. ”

The blind felt thing is also a big deal, and Li Ritong heard about it more or less and kept his mouth shut.

"Let's get down to business, is Nong Zhigao your Jiaozhi people or our Song people?"

"What's the difference?" Li Ritong asked. It's really hard to answer this question, is Nong Zhigao a Jiaozhi person, it doesn't seem to be, is it a Song person, it doesn't seem to be. God knows who this white-eyed wolf is from that country.

"If you Jiaozhi think that Nong Zhigao is our Song people, Nong Zhibing's revolution is a rebellion, an internal matter of our Song Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with your Jiaozhi. If you are Jiaozhi people, then you Jiaozhi people have invaded our dynasty. Since I came to the south and took me to the south, the bravest general Di Qing, and the other brave generals, I want the south to be done once and for all. Do you understand what so-and-so means? ”

That is to say, if you Jiaozhi people invade the Great Song Dynasty, I will definitely retaliate. Li Ritong replied without thinking: "Of course, he is a member of your Song Dynasty, born in your Song Dynasty and grew up in your Song Dynasty. ”

"That's good, since he is from our Song Dynasty, the border issue between our two countries is easy to talk about."

"What border?"

"Don't you want to demarcate the border between our two countries?"

"Zheng Xianggong, what are you going to say?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Ruonong Zhigao was a Song native, and the Qiyuan Prefecture, Menzhou, and Guangyuan Prefecture under his rule were the territory of our Song Dynasty, so as to clearly demarcate the border between the two countries and never invade each other. If you have any excuse to invade our court, we will send a large army into your country to retaliate. Or you say that the local barbarians invaded, but you can't restrain them, and our Song Dynasty will govern it for you. ”

"What kind of reason is this, if that's the case, how can Nong Zhigao invade our country before?"

"So I'm going to teach Nong Zhigao a lesson from you Jiaozhi," Zheng Lang spread his hands and said very freely: "Of course, you Jiaozhi can also disagree." Please go back and bring a word, two choices, the first choice is to take Guangyuan Prefecture, Menzhou, Qiyuan Prefecture, and Luzhou as the border line between the two countries, and then restrain each barbarian tribe from invading each other. The second choice, you think that Qiyuan Prefecture, Gate Prefecture and Guangyuan Prefecture are your Jiaozhi territory, then Nong Zhigao is your Jiaozhi person, even if you don't admit it, but the most important warriors participating in this war are from these three states. You can't discern it, and there are two more options. I beg you to repay the deaths of tens of thousands of our people, the burning of countless homes, and the rape of women. Or you Jiaozhi thinks that your Jiaozhi is very strong, and everything you do, including the many previous invasions of our dynasty, is taken for granted, then, the result is not to say more, you know. ”RS
