Chapter 55: The Great Stone Truck
Zhao Shuo looked at it, and the volume of a stone truck was equivalent to an earthmoving car.
Behind each stone cart is a bullet magazine for stone filling.
If all of them are ready to go, a stone cart can shoot more than 60 stones one after another.
This figure is already quite exaggerated!
Even modern artillery belts do not have much more ammunition than this.
"How many stone carts can we put on the walls of Bianliang City?"
Zhang Shuye thought without hesitation: "Judging from the current structure of military strength, one car should be placed at a distance of 15 meters, and at least 2,000 vehicles should be placed on all sides. ”
"But that's not realistic, because we don't have enough troops. If you operate all the stone trucks, you will be overstretched on the battlefield. ”
"Well, that makes sense." Zhao Shuo nodded.
He also felt that putting 2,000 cars was too exaggerated.
A car is counted as sixty stones.
Two thousand cars are 120,000 stones!
When the Jin people were attacking the city, it rained stones from the sky!
There are really so many, and the Jin people will not be stupid enough to provoke the Great Song.
If you don't say you can't do it now.
Throughout history, it is not so exaggerated.
Zhao Shuo felt that the current war potential could not be all tinkered with.
Immediately, Zhao Shuo's gaze fell on Zhang Shuye and asked, "In your opinion, how should it be configured?" ”
"Six hundred are enough."
"One hundred and fifty chariots on one wall."
"There are exactly five soldiers in each vehicle, so it doesn't matter how much of a reserve we have for defense."
"Well, just do as you say, Yang Aiqing, did you hear what Taiwei Zhang said just now?" Zhao Shuo looked at Yang Tianhua.
Yang Tianhua nodded hurriedly and said, "Wei Chen heard it, I don't know how long Your Majesty and Tai Wei can give Wei Chen?" ”
"Half a month, we only have half a month." Zhang Shuye emphasized.
In fact, as soon as he knew the Jin people, it would take more than half a month for the Jin people to make a batch of catapults outside the city.
In addition, there are 10 days of training.
After all, the Jin people are an army on horseback, and they don't have a lot of experience in attacking fortified cities.
Especially attacking a city like Bianliang City.
Experience is almost non-existent.
Otherwise, Wanyan Zongwang and Mu Han would not have to gnaw hard bones with their trump card elite before.
In other words, even if the Jin army completes its preparations to attack the city, it will take a month.
Therefore, Uncle Zhang's side must also fight for the same amount of time.
Because even if there is a stone car, the Great Song still has to train personnel.
After all, armament waste is the label of the lovely Great Song.
A famous general like Zhang Shuye will take precautions for whatever he does.
He didn't want the Song army on this side of the city wall to be in a hurry when the Jin army was attacking the city, and they wouldn't be able to operate the stone cart.
Then it's all a decoration.
"Huh? Half a month! This one...... Wechen may be difficult to get together. ”
Yang Tianhua was stunned.
What's going on?
He has been the number one in the Armaments Department all his life, and the orders added up are not so much!
Not to mention half a month to catch up.
This thing didn't rush at all!
Regarding Yang Tianhua's answer, Zhao Shuo was a little surprised.
"Yang Aiqing, now that the materials needed for the stone truck have been prepared, you only need to dedicate the construction process, is this difficult?"
"Moreover, I have looked through the establishment of the Armaments Department, and now there are 6,300 craftsmen on the register, and in addition, Taiwei Zhang will also send you 3,000 people to participate in the construction, and after it is completed, those 3,000 people will be directly listed as the establishment of the stone car."
"What? You can't do it? ”
Zhao Shuo accentuated his tone.
Looking at Yang Tianhua, his gaze was also a little cold.
At such a life-critical moment, Zhao Shuo would not allow Yang Tianhua to slack off in the slightest.
"Your Majesty, Wechen ......"
Cold sweat oozed from Yang Tianhua's forehead.
I thought, Your Majesty doesn't know about the situation of the Song Court's lazy officials and empty salaries?
This is the norm!
Uncle Zhang next to him naturally knew about this situation.
After all, being an official in the Song Dynasty is not good without such a tacit understanding.
Therefore, Yang Tianhua looked at Uncle Zhang with a worried expression.
I hope the other person can help me speak.
Uncle Zhang didn't care about those historical issues at the moment.
Now all he wants is a stone cart!
Yes, Uncle Zhang directly threw Yang Tianhua a cold face.
The atmosphere became more and more delicate.
At this time, a person beside Yang Tianhua said: "Your Majesty, the Armaments Department has been abolished by the former emperor for two years, and although there are 6,300 people on the roster of craftsmen, half of them are not in Bianjing at this time. ”
Zhao Shuo: "......"
So this is an empty salary, and you can go back to your hometown to enjoy the blessings?!
it!
Zhao Shuo slapped his head, he was so eager to resist gold that he actually forgot about this stubble.
If there are only half of them, Yang Tianhua really can't complete this order.
"What then? Is that the reason? Zhao Shuo stared at the young man and asked.
"It's not a reason, the lower officials are the main anti-Jin, and there is no other word. It's just that it's really difficult to get together 600 stone trucks at the moment, but the lower officials have a way to rush to produce 600 cars without affecting the combat effect. ”
"Say!"
Zhao Shuo and Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up at night.
Yang Tianhua also looked at the young man as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
He remembered that the young man had only joined the Armaments Division in the spring of the previous year.
Because of his diligent work, he was called by Yang Tianhua to serve.
The young man said, "You can improve our stone carts and reduce their size. In addition, there is no need to carry large stones, and sharp gravel is used instead. ”
"That kind of bombing may not be powerful, but it can be more effective in increasing the casualties of gold thieves."
Listening to this young man's words, Zhao Shuo's eyebrows rose.
Okay!
When the gravel is blasted out, the lethality caused is smaller, but the killing area is increased.
If you have to compare this thing, it's like the difference between a single shell and a rapid serial artillery!
Uncle Zhang was also interested, and asked urgently, "How much volume can you reduce?" ”
"Almost a third."
"This saves us a lot of time when we make it."
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks you can give it a try."
Uncle Zhang looked at Zhao Shuo at night.
Zhao Shuo nodded.
He had nothing else to do now.
Besides, now that the Jin army is besieging the city, it is impossible for those craftsmen who have returned to their hometowns to come back.
"Okay, that's it." Zhao Shuo nodded and asked the young man, "What's your name?" ”
"The subordinate is Rooney, the right attendant of the Armaments Division."
Zhao Shuo said: "Then these six hundred stone carts will be handed over to you, can you complete the task?" ”
"Your Majesty, the lower officials can!"
"Don't jump to conclusions, the situation is urgent now, and I want the truth."
Hearing this, Rooney was stunned, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is willing to make a military order." ”
"Good!"
Zhao Shuo patted Rooney on the shoulder, but he didn't expect to dig up a godrener here today.
