Chapter 22: The King of Success, the Loser!
This battle can be said to be a war between two kings, and it can also be said to be the last battle.
The winner will be the lord of the world, and the loser naturally does not need to say much.
Although Qin Yue's ambitions are still unknown, Qin Yue's existing power is enough to be called a king's system.
Under Qin Yue's order, all kinds of material resources were transported on the city wall.
Qin Yue had already prepared for King Heqing, and he would fight with real swords and guns.
Natural fire oil, arrows, rolling stones, these things were prepared early in the morning, and they were piled up at the foot of the city wall.
Weapons and armor, which are also brand new goods, were distributed early.
It can be said that Qin Yue basically transported the materials stored in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty for the sake of this war reserve.
In the current treasury, it can be said that in addition to money, there are all kinds of rare treasures, armor and weapons, that is, there is nothing left.
Eighty red-coated cannons, which were carried up the city wall by the Shenji Battalion, were erected on the city wall.
The hideous muzzle, like an evil dragon, opened its mouth and aimed at the army of King Qing outside the city, ready to devour all life.
Thousands of iron eggs the size of watermelons were loaded onto dozens of wooden box carts, pushed up the city wall by the Praetorian Guards, and a strong smell of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal could be smelled from afar.
These red-coated cannons are war artifacts, out-and-out war overlords.
The red-coated cannon, not only the barrel is long, the wall of the tube is thick, from the muzzle to the tail of the cannon, and the distance is long, the power is large, and it can also adapt to multi-gun firing, without worrying about the overheating of the pipe wall and blowing up the chamber, there are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, and the gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis, and change the firing range with the amount of gunpowder; It is equipped with a crosshair and a light gate, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, which is very accurate.
The entire redcoat cannon, three meters long and weighing two tons, can be said to be the pinnacle of artillery of this era.
The firing range of the red-coated cannon, with the explosion of gunpowder as the pushing force, can reach up to six miles away, which is ten times the range of the lathe crossbow! The most powerful bed crossbow in cold weapons has a maximum range of about 100 steps, which is equivalent to 150 meters.
Moreover, the power of the red-coated cannon is hundreds of times more terrifying than the arrows, the bow and crossbow!
After the iron bullet hits the object, it will produce a strong explosion, full of power, and the iron bullet is loaded with a different number of small iron pieces, once the explosion, the small iron pieces will be like fireworks, swaying around, killing and injuring the enemy, more terrible than the most powerful hidden weapon.
This is the treasure of the Ming Dynasty, a secret weapon, and Qin Yue didn't expect to find this thing in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, these eighty cannons, some of which were made in Europe, were also printed with foreign characters, and some were imitated by the Ming Dynasty itself.
For being able to find these cannons in the treasury, Qin Yue really should be grateful to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because there is no war in the country, these terrible war beasts can only be locked in the dark treasury, and this time they were taken out by Qin Yue.
may allow the people of the world who have long forgotten the red-clothed cannon to see the earth-shattering and terrifying power of the red-clothed cannon again.
From the vast army outside the city, this torrent of rolling steel rushed out, and it was about to rush to the bottom of the city.
The general who led the army suddenly roared, and this torrent of steel immediately stopped, just six miles away.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, it just stopped at the edge of the range of the redcoat cannon.
"The generals of the army in the capital, which of you has the courage to come out and fight Lao Tzu? Those who don't come out to fight are eggless cowards, not real men, so hurry up and become eunuchs, right? ”
A shocking sound of ridicule came out of the general's mouth, and it was clearly heard for miles around.
"Haha, this general who leads the troops, his voice is really not small, a little bit of a fierce Zhang Fei reincarnation!"
As soon as he heard the voice, Qin Yue smiled freely, and laughed at the many generals who had just ascended to the top of the city.
"Dashuai, it's true, this person's voice is really loud!"
"Indeed, I just don't know, what is the general's force and ability to command troops, and is it easy to deal with it?"
Hearing Qin Yue's ridiculous words, for a while, several generals looked at the thousands of iron horsemen outside the city and discussed a lot.
A few subordinates, but they looked at the military strength of thousands of iron cavalry, after all, the distance was too far away, and they couldn't see it clearly, so they could only see a rough idea.
And Qin Yue, as long as he uses his internal qi in his eyes, his eyes seem to be strangely strengthened, just like the eyes of an eagle, he can clearly see the scenery a few miles away.
This was discovered by accident after Qin Yue had cultivated his internal qi.
With good eyesight, Qin Yue looked over, and saw that under the city, the leading general six miles away, dressed in armor as black as ink, wearing a tasseled helmet, his face could not be seen clearly, even the horse was wrapped in black armor, tall, mighty, holding an ink-colored spear, carrying a big bow, and hanging a big knife, like a hell demon king.
A well-informed general informed Qin Yue of the general's identity after briefly introducing his physical characteristics.
"Dashuai, this seems to be the great leader of the Tulu tribe outside the Saiwai, Wokuo Yuhan. Known as the blue wolf of Mobei, I once saw him once, brave and unparalleled, invincible, once led 8,000 soldiers to dare to fight with King Qing's hundreds of thousands of troops, and regardless of victory or defeat, in the end King Qing personally led the troops, which defeated Wokuo Yuhan, with his bearing and personal charm to convince Wokuo Yuhan, only to make Wokuo Yuhan surrender, and became the number one general under King Qing! ”
"Now this fertile Yuhan, leading thousands of iron horsemen, is attacking the plain, and I am afraid that it can scatter tens of thousands of troops, even 100,000 infantry. Therefore, the marshal can't open the city gate and go out to fight him under any circumstances! The general patiently persuaded Qin Yue, but he was afraid that Qin Yue was young and could not withstand the agitation, so he bravely opened the city gate and went out of the city to fight.
"This person reminded me that he is loyal, can see the strength and advantages of the cavalry, has extraordinary vision, and can judge the situation, but he is a general, and he can be useful."
Qin Yue thought thoughtfully, propped his hand on the majestic and heavy city wall, turned his head, looked at the general and asked a question.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the big handsome, the last general Yue Heng, the word is prosperous!" Yue Heng, that is, Yue Zhongxing, answered Qin Yue's question respectfully.
"Oh Yue Zhongxing, Yue Hearthearted, Zhongxing World, Heartfelt Dynasty, it's really a good name! Your father must be very talented! Qin Yue nodded slightly and said in admiration.
"The last general, thank you for your praise! My father is just a mountain village talent, not worth mentioning. Yue Heng was praised, but he was very calm, and he didn't show any excitement.
Qin Yue stared at Yue Heng for a long time, but Yue Heng still behaved, calm and calm, standing opposite Qin Yue, looking at Qin Yue and opposing each other.
"Well, those who have an extraordinary bearing will achieve extraordinary achievements in the future! What is your current position? How many grades? "Qin Yue is quite happy this time, and it is naturally a matter of joy that his subordinates have produced talents.
"Back to the commander, the last general is now the deputy commander of the forbidden army, from the fourth rank!" Yue Heng replied calmly.
"From the fourth rank, it's a little lower!" Qin Yue frowned, didn't speak, didn't know what he was thinking.
"If you are asked to fight this battle, King Qing has an army of 100,000, and our army is only 30,000, do you have confidence in winning this battle? How do you want to fight? ”
Qin Yue seemed to want to take the school to test Yue Heng, and also wanted to hear his opinion on this war, so he mentioned it in passing.
"The art of war says: go up to the army to plan, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and then attack the city. Although we are the defenders, we can also apply it. We can send people to publicize King Qing's rebellious move, so that the people know that King Qing is here for revenge, and the day King Qing breaks the city, he will slaughter the city for three days and organize the people to come to defend the city. In addition, naturally, from the forbidden army, the garrison guards, and the brocade guards, they were divided into three teams, supervised each other, and were distributed at the four gates, guarding day and night to prevent people. Bought off the generals and let go of the city gates. Finally, we can also buy the generals of King Qing's army, let them abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and disintegrate King Qing's army from the inside, and then they can be self-defeating. ”
Yue Heng was skillful in soldiers and horses, and he talked eloquently about this war, and obviously had his own set of opinions, which made many generals nod their heads when they heard it, and they all looked at Yue Heng with admiration.
"This Yue Heng is really good, after some training, you can lead an army alone!"
Qin Yue also felt good after listening to it, of course, it was just good, according to the knowledge of this era, it was already possible to reach such a level.
Qin Yue is a figure from a thousand years later, with hundreds of years of explosive knowledge, he naturally knows what the most powerful weapon in this era is!
As long as there are these eighty red-coated cannons, the capital will be an unbreakable fortress.
In front of the red-clothed artillery, let alone a 100,000-strong army, even if there are 500,000 more, it may not be able to break through the capital.
Therefore, Qin Yue was not worried about winning or losing this war, the victory or defeat was already a doomed thing, so Qin Yue planned to experience this Yue Heng.
Qin Yue walked up to Yue Heng, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Commander Yue, those who have achieved great things in ancient times have all risen to the challenge and become something that no one can do!" That's why it's been passed down through the ages. Now there is a chance for you, in this war, except for the Shenji Battalion, I will hand it over to you to command, do you dare to exterminate King Qing for me? The day of annihilation is the time when you will be added to the rank of knight! ”
"The last general, why don't you dare! Thank you for your trust, and you will live up to your trust! Yue Heng knelt down and promised with great pride.
"Dashuai, no!"
"Yes! Handsome! ”
"Dashuai, please take back your order!"
When several generals heard this order, they all persuaded Qin Yue to withdraw his order.
"Well, no more to say! Since I am not in command of this battle, I naturally have my own business to do. As long as you follow Yue Heng's orders, fight this battle for me, and when the time comes, there will be no one less, how can anyone disobey Yue Hengyang and lose the battle! Don't blame my men for being ruthless. You also know the name of my brocade guard white tiger. ”
Qin Yue's face turned cold, and he waved his hand, domineering and resolute.
When these generals heard this, they could only look at each other, and they already knew that there was no room for negotiation, so they had to give up and go to the side to discuss strategic strategies with Yue Heng.
And the fertile Yuhan outside the city seems to have been completely forgotten.
