"Take care of your injuries!"

"Does it still hurt, bear with it!"

"Don't worry, you can't die!"

Walking in the wounded barracks, Zhao Pu kept stepping forward to comfort the wounded soldiers, or stepping forward to pat the shoulder, or stepping forward to encourage the previous sentence, or saying a few words that were not painful. If you are born in the 21st century, as long as you have a little culture, you will know that Zhao Pu is putting on a show and putting on a political show.

However, in this era, when the king is supreme, the monarch is divinely conferred, and feudal superstition is popular, the king personally went to the wounded barracks to offer condolences.

As he walked down in a circle, Zhao Pu became more and more determined in his heart, improving the basic medical facilities and reducing the death toll of the Bazi Army.

He is the emperor, who is he afraid of?

The microscope will be invented slowly; Penicillin will also be available; Nurses will have it too...... Everything will be fine.

…………

At night, most of the soldiers were sleeping, but Zhao Pu couldn't sleep.

In the camp tent, the generals gathered together, and Zhao Pu was sitting in the first place, "In this battle, our army has played with morale and prestige, the Jin army is not invincible, as long as it trains more in peacetime, dares to fight on the battlefield, the soldiers are not afraid of death, and there is no mistake in command, it will be able to defeat the Jin army."

"We won this battle, but it was not enough, we only inflicted heavy losses on the enemy army, and we have not completely annihilated the enemy army. What if the Jin army felt that something could not be done, evacuated from the city of Yangzhou, and attacked other prefectures and counties near Yangzhou? ”

"Once the Jin army runs away, we will pursue or not, the Jin army cavalry will be the mainstay, and I will be the infantry mainly, once the Jin army runs away, the two-legged one is destined to not be able to run on four legs. At that time, we could do nothing but eat dust behind the buttocks of the Jin army, and we could only watch the Jin army slaughter the people. Kill people and kill them, save people and save lives, if you don't fight, you will be afraid of the enemy when you fight, and you will make the enemy cold when you fight. When the enemy mentions our eight-character army, it makes me feel terrified! ”

"Tonight, we plan to attack and kill the Jin Army!"

At this moment, Zhao Pu made a decision.

"No, Your Majesty, our army has been fighting fiercely all night, and it is too tired to fight again!" Wang Shouyi spoke first

Li Pojun also spoke: "Your Majesty, the night is not conducive to combat, once the Jin army buries heavy troops, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses!" ”

"Going out at night is too risky, once our army loses a lot, Yangzhou will inevitably be difficult to preserve, and Your Majesty will be in danger!" Wang Wuyue said worriedly.

Zhao Pu smiled, not committal or not, but looked at Yue Fei and asked, "Yue Fei, what do you think?" ”

Originally, Yue Fei was only under the command of Zhang Suo, and was transferred to the Eight-Character Army by Zhao Pu, and he was not promoted much, but his original position, and everything was based on observation. And after a few months of observation, Zhao Pu was slightly disappointed, Yue Fei was silent, rarely spoke, and rarely did amazing moves, but he was more brave on the battlefield

Every time he goes to the battlefield, he always has to leave scars on his body, this is Zhao Pu's understanding of Yue Fei.

At this time, Yue Fei was just a fierce general, far from being far-sighted, and if the command was determined, he could not reach the Soldier Saint and the Martial Saint. And asking at this moment has the taste of an examination school.

Yue Fei said: "You can fight!" “

"Why?" Zhao Pu smiled.

"Night attacks are night battles, there are too many uncertain factors, too many risk factors, and prudent generals will try to avoid night battles. But at this moment, we have to fight, will the Jin Army continue to fight with the Bazi Army tomorrow? Definitely not, once the Jin army leaves, it will add a lot of variables to the battle situation in Huaibei. ”

Yue Fei said: "Our army is tired, and the Jin army is also tired, so this battle may not be lost; I am in charge of the scout camp, mainly reconnaissance, relying on clairvoyance to see five miles away, I can clearly see the layout of the Jin army camp, if it is a night attack, I am willing to personally attack, break through the outer camp, and kill the Jin army! ”

As the commander of the scout battalion, Yue Fei conducted a good reconnaissance of the Jin army's camp, and the layout of trenches, fences, antlers, traps, etc. was relatively clear, and he could break through the Jin army's position relatively quickly with fewer losses, thus inflicting a huge blow on the enemy. Therefore, he took the lead in asking for orders and requesting an attack.

"This is a night battle, not a night attack!" Zhao Pu corrected in advance, "In this battle, the focus is on the covering blow of the unconscionable cannon, annihilating all the enemy troops on the camp, and then the cavalry will be dispatched to sweep the remnants ......of the Jin army."

As he spoke, Zhao Pu carefully explained the battle plan.

…………

In the middle of the night, the army marched.

The whole army was divided into several groups, and they were advancing towards the designated direction, while Zhao Pu led the 3,000 people of the Bazi Army and slowly advanced towards the northwest of the Jin army, and then began to arrange the unconscionable cannon.

This battle is also very simple, that is, relying on the unconscionable artillery, to achieve firepower coverage, indiscriminately bombarding the Jin army camp, and relying on the fierce lethality, the Jin army was completely annihilated in the camp. Then the infantry of the Bazi Army pressed up and wiped out the remnants of the Jin army, while the cavalry was responsible for cleaning up the fish that slipped through the net on the periphery.

A total of 9,000 soldiers were dispatched in this battle, leaving less than 2,000 men to guard the camp, while Yangzhou City was unguarded. At this moment, Zhao Pu wants to press all the family resources of the Bazi Army, and then completely destroy the Jin army that invaded Yangzhou to deter the enemy. It made the Jin army frightened, and no longer dared to easily offend the hinterland of the Song army with less than 10,000 troops.

When Zhao Pu put forward the idea of covering firepower and striking indiscriminately, the whole army was stunned and a little hard to believe, but after Zhao Pu's detailed explanation, he suddenly understood that the battle could be fought like this.

Looking at everyone's surprised looks, Zhao Pu sighed in his heart, this is the gap between the times!

Gunpowder was invented in the Tang Dynasty, but the way of its development was astray. In all the battles of the Tang Dynasty, or some battles in the Song Dynasty, gunpowder mainly played the role of combustion, not the lethality of explosions. Even if the invention of the catapult thrower to throw explosive packs, or the unconscionable cannon to fire explosive packs, they mainly hit the morale of the army, broke the morale of the enemy army, and played an auxiliary role.

In the eyes of the generals, in order to completely annihilate the enemy, it is still necessary to fight close to the body, slash with swords, and shoot with bows and crossbows.

And Zhao Pu put gunpowder weapons in a decisive position for the first time, and put them on the heavy drama of annihilating the enemy army. It is necessary to rely on the intensive firing of gunpowder, cover with all your strength, leave no dead ends, bombard all the enemies on the camp, and rely on the tonnage of black powder to smash the enemy to death.

After coming to Yangzhou, Zhao Pu vigorously made gunpowder, made explosives bags, and finally reached 15 tons of black powder.

In this battle, Zhao Pu relied on the density of black powder to kill the Jin army.

In order to achieve the coverage of the whole city, it is necessary to calculate the explosion area of each explosive package, the muzzle angle of the unconscionable cannon, etc., which all involve arithmetic problems, and Zhao Pu had to go to arrange it in person.

And the unconscionable cannon is only a distance of 100 meters to 200 meters, which also makes the Bazi Army can only arrange the muzzle between 100 meters and 200 meters, which is almost under the nose of the enemy.

This is also the most dangerous moment, once the Jin army finds out and the iron cavalry is killed, then the fun will be great.

You can only be careful and try not to make a sound.

Fortunately, the night was dark tonight, and the surrounding trees had not been cleared, which made the conscienceless cannon calmly arranged, and no one interfered from beginning to end.

This made Zhao Pu secretly happy, God help me.

When the sky began to light and the darkness began to dissipate, the conscienceless cannon began to roar.

"Bang bang bang!"

A large amount of black powder smashed on the camp of the Jin Army.

The Jurchens, who had always been brave and good at fighting, were hit by gunpowder, and many Jurchens were killed as soon as they got up and before they could get up. And the black powder exploded in a limited area, causing a brief lack of oxygen, and some Jin soldiers were suffocated to death. This was a living massacre, the 4,000 gold army was wiped out, and only a small number escaped, but it could not withstand the sniping of the infantry and the pursuit of the cavalry.

Wanyan was evacuated and killed alive, becoming a mass of black charcoal.

Walking in the camp of the Jin Army, looking at the scene like hell, all the generals were terrified.

Zhao Pu said in his heart: This is probably a gunpowder weapon, the first large-scale battle!
