According to the craftsman, this stone should be more than 20,000 people in the city, because only wood can be built, manpower can be operated, the range is very long, the power is also huge, but in Shandong, that is, the four cities are prepared, the provincial capital Jinan, the prosperous city of Jining and Linqing by the canal, as well as the Yanzhou capital city of Ziyang, and other places, Dengzhou Mansion is equipped with artillery, and other places are poor and cannot take care of it at all. ^_^ Books, Books, Hair, Omega Ω. QмsHu.Coм^_^

This stone is quickly erected, connected everywhere with a wooden wedge nailed, tied with ropes, it can be seen that the Wenxiang Sect also has preparations for this, the people climb high and low, the action is very skillful, but no matter how skilled, want to erect such a frame, it takes a lot of time.

However, at this time, the battlefield was being cleaned up, and there was plenty of time, but someone was arranged to clear the empty field within the range of the stone stone.

Zhao Jin knew that this stone was a trebuchet, which had been there since ancient times, and was strengthened in the Mengyuan period, but he didn't expect to see this under the city of Jining, and this trebuchet had to be erected in advance before it could be launched, and it was often used in sieges.

The erected "stone pole" is actually a huge lever, a huge support, and a counterweight, with a firing mud bomb at one end and a thick rope at the other, which is almost dragged by more than 30 people.

"Isn't it a shooting stone?" Someone asked.

"This thing is used for siege with stones, and it is best to use mud bombs for defending cities and field battles." The craftsman replied with a smirk.

Shouting and giving orders, the dozens of people dragged the rope, raised the end with the counterweight, and then used the bayonet to jam the master, and then hit the punch card with a wooden hammer, and the mud bomb was violently thrown out.

The ball of mud with a diameter of nearly a foot was thrown out, flew nearly two hundred paces away, and smashed heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The launch of this mud bomb caused some commotion on the already quiet battlefield, and seeing this scene, everyone around Zhao Jin changed color, and it was so far away.

"Come with me." Without waiting for everyone to continue thinking, Zhao Jin spoke again.

Walking to the place where the mud bomb landed, everyone was stunned, and it exploded a large area, and the area around the square was full of traces of mud balls.

"If you really have to have artillery, otherwise we will suffer a big loss if we are set up by this thing," Shi Manqiang said.

With the range of the fire gun and the bow and arrow, it can only barely cover the distance within 90 steps, and this stone can be fired from this distance, and when a few mud bombs are dropped, let alone the archers and the fire guns, the strict spear team will be broken up directly.

Liu Yong bent down and picked up a piece of soil, although the force of the projectile was so great, but after the thing was smashed, it had not completely turned into broken soil, it was quite hard.

Everyone has an estimate of what kind of damage it can cause, and it is only afraid that a clod of soil the size of a fingernail can also make a bloody hole in the unprotected human body.

"A few big masters, the practice handed down in ancient times, this mud bomb should be used for wet two kinds of mud to do, in the sand soil mixed with cooked glutinous rice into a ball, after the sun, dozens of fist-sized soil balls mixed with wet soil into a big mud ball, hit out can be blown up and injured the enemy"

The craftsman's explanation was very similar, and everyone who came to watch gasped, all glad that they brought artillery this time, otherwise they would have suffered heavy casualties.

"It's not as terrible as you think, even if we don't bring artillery, we will definitely order a charge when we see this thing set up on the battlefield, we will definitely order a charge, our Zhao Zi battalion's phalanx crashed over, they can't stop it, in our tactics, this artillery has two great uses, one is to deal with the opponent's artillery, and the other is to make the opponent's cavalry unable to charge in formation, but it can't be used here."

This kind of tactics can only be understood by telling the story, and only in actual combat can we deeply understand it.

The homeless captives on the battlefield were gathered together, guarded labor, as the sky gradually darkened, the captives who recovered from fear and panic began to have some commotion, after all, from morning to night, they were extremely hungry, they heard the people of the Wenxiang Sect preach before the battle, saying that if they did not fight to the death, they were caught by the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, it would definitely be a dead end, and they would be tortured in every possible way before they started, although there was no beating and scolding after being captured, but no one knew what would happen next, even if the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou did not kill people, Starving them to death like this is a torment that is worse than death, waiting for death and not knowing how to die, this fear makes people unable to calm down at all.

That is, when this commotion is about to start, there are a lot of probes in Jining City, and they can also estimate that there will be chaos and see if there is a chance.

However, when the boats docked, the captives were driven to carry bags of grain, a cauldron was set up on the battlefield and porridge was boiled for cooking, and then each of the captives received a bowl of porridge, and the whole battlefield was completely quiet.

Since you are willing to give a bite to eat, and you can give a bite to eat, then you won't kill people, these days food is a precious thing, since you give food to eat, then you won't kill people, food is worth much more than human life.

"Each person has a bowl of porridge every day, and those who work hard can increase the amount, don't let them eat enough, and don't let them starve to death.

"Said that some people will definitely think that the eldest brother's arrangement is cruel, these homeless people are too miserable, but they can't imagine that we do this, but they have a way to live."

Although the city gate is closed, there are still results one after another, because after the end of the battle here, the Wenxiang Sect rebellious army retreated into the city, and I didn't know how to react for a while, but after a little rectification, I immediately sent a message to other places for help, the city gate was unable to go, and could only hang down from the head of the city everywhere, the horsemen and volunteers in Xuzhou were not vegetarians, they cruised around the city, to kill one by one, as for the water gate connected to Jining City and the canal, the people who dived out had no way to live, and the grass boat took a harpoon spear and stabbed it directly.

Anyone could have imagined that this kind of delivery of letters out of town would not stop, and that this game of cat and mouse would continue after dark.

At night, the regiments and brigades of the Zhao Zi battalion did not relax, they still maintained a wartime state, everyone took turns to rest, the remnants of the enemy in Jining City had not been annihilated, and tens of thousands of prisoners were not stable, and they could make trouble at any time.

"If you want to say that you are completely relieved, I can have three hundred here, it is always awkward to say this, and the people from Xuzhou Sanwei are also their own brothers, and these times they are all born and died"

"No, you must be perfect, it's one thing to be able to follow us to fight the official army"

The lights on the side of the Chinese military tent are bright, only the regiment and the brigade are here, and even Zhao Jin's personal guards are guarding outside, and they have to supervise the guards and not get too close.

Zhao Jin said that in the selection of the most reassuring family in various places, everyone according to their own rules and ideas of a person to come, the previous Xuzhou Wei children can be, but the later ones are not good, the first to come are poor families, for the Wei army to do cattle and horses of the bitter background, the later often have a good family background, looking at the promising come, not to say that the latter is not loyal, but to prevent risks, it can not be entered.

After the discussion, Chen Huang, Shi Manqiang and Ji Xiang were all a little dissatisfied, Lu Da and Zhang Hubin also had opinions, so many families under their hands were born and died with their own families, and they were very uncomfortable when discussing who could trust and who could not believe it, but everyone also knew that this matter was a big deal, and there could be no mistakes.

After it was settled, it was already late, but a family member came in and reported: "Ma Chonghao asks to see him." ”

Zhao Jin led the brigade from Xuzhou, and specially named Ma Chonghao of the Internal Guard, but he came here not to fight with the brigade, but to train with Xuzhou Yiyong and the regiment, responsible for the baggage team, if you change others, there will be some complaints, but Ma Chonghao is gentle and does his best.

"Jin Ye, Xuzhou counselor Zhou Baolu entrusted his subordinates to bring a message, saying that please Jin Ye look at the past feelings, give him a way to live, if it is really impossible, his life does not matter, please Jin Ye spare his family, in order to let his subordinates bring the word over, he also specially gave a small jade pendant, saying that he can rely on this to mention thousands of taels of silver in the silk and satin line in Qingjiang City." Ma Chonghao said with a smile, taking out a piece of jade pendant as he spoke.

Zhao Jin shook his head and smiled: "It's really cranky, this time I came to give him a great credit, what did he think of?" ”

"I may think that Jin Ye is going to do a big thing, and this time he will completely tear his face with the government and the court." Ma Chonghao was not very taboo, and answered with a smile.

Zhao Jin didn't answer, Ma Chonghao looked at the people in the military tent, only Niu Jinbao and Sun Dalei were there at this time, he lowered his voice and said: "Master Jin, what you want to do this time, please bring your subordinates." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"The subordinates don't know, but the subordinates feel that they can follow this matter, and in the future, Master Jin and everyone will be able to treat their subordinates as their own people." Ma Chonghao's attitude is humble, but the content of his words is another matter.

Zhao Jin squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then said with a smile: "This time there is no room for mistakes, if you are the slightest bit wrong, you will die on the road, you have to understand." ”

"The subordinates think very clearly, but if they follow this time, next time there is such a major event as the Northern Expedition, they will not let the subordinates look at the baggage, they should follow everyone to the battle, or guard in important places."

"Okay, then you can go along."

Zhao Jin's crisp answer this time made Ma Chonghao a little stunned, but in the Zhao Ziying department, he has always been calm and open, and immediately asked with a smile: "If Master Jin wants to do such a big thing, aren't you afraid that I will have two hearts and cause a big disaster?" ”

"You're so capable, it's a pity that you can't let go of your hands, this time is the time to set, it's worth it." Zhao Jin said with a smile.

Ma Chonghao didn't react too violently to this sentence, but his face was a little embarrassed, and he just solemnly made a solemn gesture at the end.
