Chapter 138: Artifact?! (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
…
Liu Guangshi is now three years old Chinese New Year's Eve, he is a supplement official with Yin, serving in the third class, and has been promoted to lead the soldiers and horses of Yanyan Road and the defense envoy of Qizhou.
It is undeniable that Liu Guangshi can not be where he is today without the help of his father Liu Yanqing.
But this does not completely deny Liu Guangshi.
It is true that Liu Guangshi is the second generation of the army, but there is still something about Liu Guangshi.
Not to mention anything else, when others think that Niu Meng is useless, Liu Guangshi can see that Niu Meng may be of great use, and then he is willing to take care of Niu Meng, and also calls Niu Meng "Niu Xianggong".
Niu Meng finally hugged a big thick leg in the Song army, and naturally racked his brains to find a way to please Liu Guangshi.
And as time went by, Niu Meng had roughly figured out the reason why the generals of the Song Army did not want to see him.
Speaking of which, there are actually only three:
First, Niu Meng didn't bring many people.
Most of the Song troops who crossed the river this time were the Western Army and the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, that is to say, most of them were soldiers.
The reason why this happened was mainly because the Song army finally seized an opportunity to cross the Yangtze River, of course, it transported the soldiers first and landed on the beach; Secondly, it is also because Liu Yanqing and others feel that Niu Meng, the defender of Jiangning Mansion, will definitely be able to control the Tiger Ben Water Army and bring a large number of Tiger Ben Army to surrender, and with the Tiger Ben Water Army of Jiangning Mansion, the Song Army will be able to lift the blockade of the Tiger Ben Water Army on the Yangtze River.
- Normally, the soldiers are only responsible for fighting, and they don't care about anything, and some soldiers usually have to have auxiliaries and civilians to bring them even their armor, and even a soldier has to have several auxiliaries and civilians to serve.
But what Liu Yanqing and the others never expected was that Niu Meng was such a waste, not to mention that he failed to take the Tiger Ben Water Army, and even the Tiger Ben Army under his command failed to bring much.
This made the Song army on the northern front, which was short of troops, unable to get any supplements, not to mention, not to mention that they didn't even have a civilian husband, and they had to take the grain and grass themselves.
How can these arrogant generals have a good attitude towards Niu Meng?
Second, Ma Kuo was in a hurry to recruit Niu Meng, and the conditions for Niu Meng were too high.
This aroused the jealousy of many Song army generals.
From the perspective of these Song army generals, they shed their blood for the Great Song Dynasty, and in the end, what they got was not as good as one-twelfth of Niu Meng, a thief.
This made the hearts of these Song army generals extremely unbalanced.
It is precisely because of this, not to mention Niu Meng, that even Ma Kuo was squeezed out by the soldiers of the Song Army.
The third, the fire in Jinling City, burned the grain and grass to seven, seven or eighty-eight.
This article is nothing, it is good that the soldiers are only responsible for fighting, and those civilian officials are responsible for the grain and grass.
But who would have thought that after Liu Yanqing and the Song army crossed the Yangtze River, the remnants of the Huben Naval Army in Zhenjiang and the Huben Naval Army in Jiangning Mansion actually stopped the Yangtze River again.
This made Zhao Song's follow-up army and grain and grass unable to be transported at all.
Later, Li Cun sent the Hangzhou Huben Naval Army, which had been following him, and brought an iron lock to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. ….
In this way, if Zhao and Song wanted to send grain and grass to the Song army that had crossed the river, they had to take a detour to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to transport it to Jiangzhou, and then transport it by land.
It's not ordinary, it's a waste of time.
Forced by the actual situation, the Xuanfu Division could only send people with good water properties to sneak across the Yangtze River, and told Liu Yanqing and other Song soldiers who had crossed the river that they would first find a way to solve the grain and grass burden, and the Xuanfu Division would try its best to find a way to raise money for them.
The soldiers of the Song army who crossed the river were dumbfounded, and hurried to check how much grain was still in Jinling City.
As a result, the only type of grain left in Jinling City was rice, which was only enough for the more than 100,000 Song soldiers who crossed the river to eat for more than ten days.
[To tell the truth, I've been using @
This made those generals of the Song Army who already hated Niu Meng even more hated Niu Meng.
In the words of these Song army generals: You can't even sacrifice a city, what use can you have?
Later, Liu Yanqing asked Niu Meng which nearby city had the most grain and grass.
Niu Meng said that Zhenjiang City has the most.
In order to solve the problem of grain and grass, and because after the capture of Zhenjiang City, all the military towns along the south of the Yangtze River were recovered by Zhao Song, and then only waiting for Tong Guan and others to think of a way to solve the Tiger Ben Water Army, Zhao Song's follow-up army will easily cross the Yangtze River, and the grain and grass can also be easily transported across the Yangtze River.
But Liu Yanqing fought Zhenjiang City for several days in a row, but he couldn't defeat Zhenjiang City.
And the grain and grass in Jinling City have begun to bottom out.
During this time, the Song army on the northern front had already passed the excitement of crossing the Yangtze River, especially after repeated setbacks here in Zhenjiang City, and they finally realized that they had become a lone army in the depths.
It was in this context that Liu Guangshi gave Niu Meng a good face, and after Niu Meng racked his brains, he said to Liu Guangshi: "I have grain in the two provinces of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a lot of it."
So Niu Meng talked to Liu Guangshi about Xiuzhou City.
After Niu Meng's reminder, Liu Guangshi remembered that Yuwen Huangzhong's secret report to Tong Guan mentioned that Xiuzhou City had been holding on to help, and there were still three million stone grains in Xiuzhou City.
Liu Guangshi immediately found Liu Yanqing and put forward a proposal to attack Xiuzhou to rescue Xiuzhou City.
But Liu Yanqing felt that if the grain road was not opened, the army could not act rashly, let alone divide the troops easily, otherwise it would be easy to be divided and annihilated by the ant thieves.
In fact, the reason why Liu Yanqing has such a conservative view is mainly due to the fact that Li Cun went to Jiangbei to fight in those battles.
Liu Yanqing carefully studied Li Cun's style of play, and felt that Li Cun was particularly good at creating fighters and seizing the opponent's loopholes to infinitely expand the results, so when fighting with Li Cun, he must not use the tactic of adding fuel, and if he wants to fight, he must fight a dignified decisive battle.
In addition, although there are still more than 100,000 Song troops in Jiangbei, but the only one who really has the strength to fight is actually only Tong Guan's pro-army Shengjie army, and most of the other armies are Xiang army, Minfu and the like, once the ant thieves bypass them and attack Jiangbei, Tong Guan will definitely not let him Liu Yanqing go.
Therefore, Liu Yanqing ordered that while continuing to attack Zhenjiang City, the army was divided into two routes, stationed in Jinling City and Xiashu Town respectively, and guarded each other with horns, waiting for the fighters. ….
The Dadao River is only a dozen miles away from Xiashu Town, but Liu Yanqing did not order the Song army to cross the river - he was worried that the ant thieves would set up an ambush on the other side of the river, so he ordered the front army to stop advancing, build fortifications along the river, and fortify on the spot.
It is not difficult to see how cautious Liu Yanqing is.
Seeing that Liu Yanqing was so cautious, Liu Guangshi had a hunch that his father might make a serious mistake this time, if he missed the opportunity to rescue Xiuzhou City, and the imperial court would not be able to open the grain route in a short time, what would be good?
persuaded Liu Yanqing for two days, and seeing that Liu Yanqing was unmoved, Liu Guangshi decided to privately lead the 3,000 horse army of his headquarters to rescue Xiuzhou City.
In order to facilitate his actions, Liu Guangshi also brought Niu Meng with him.
Liu Guangshibu rushed all the way to Xiuzhou.
On this morning, only a few dozen miles away from Xiuzhou City, Liu Guangshi and the others suddenly heard a loud noise that shook the earth.
The loud noise was so loud that Liu Guangshi and their war horses were shocked.
"What's going on?"
Liu Guangshi Lerma asked, "Where did it come from?"
Niu Meng discerned the direction and said, "In the direction of Xiuzhou City, this sound must be issued by a conscienceless cannon!"
Hearing Niu Meng say this, Liu Guangshi remembered that the explosion he heard when he first entered Jinling City that day was indeed very similar to the loud noise just now.
Artillery such things, including thunderstorms, Liu Guangshi had actually seen them a long time ago, and even used them himself.
Zhao Song has a former military arsenal, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Industry. It is responsible for managing the production of weapons in the country, and has a large weapons workshop, which can produce 3 million pieces of various weapons every year. And it has been able to produce explosives with great lethal and destructive power
Explosive firearms "Iron Artillery".
In fact, as early as the end of the Tang Dynasty, black powder had been applied to the military, and the so-called "flying fire" was an early rocket.
Zhao Kuangyin was born as a military general and knows the importance of weapons.
Moreover, in addition to cold weapons, hot weapons have also been valued by Zhao Kuangyin.
Therefore, during the Zhao Kuangyin period, Feng Jisheng and Yue Yifang and others made rockets a mature weapon.
By the time of Song Zhenzong, thunderbolt fire and fire thistle pear had appeared, and they were personally accepted by Zhao Heng.
The basic structure of these firearms is to knead various killers such as iron nails, asphalt, arsenic, etc. with paper or hemp, wrap the outer layer with black powder, and wrap the outermost layer with pine resin, and kill the enemy with the fragments after the explosion and the poisonous smoke produced by the combustion.
And the Thunderbolt, which has always been regarded as a secret weapon by the Tiger Army, actually already exists, but in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, it is called "Shocking Thunder", which uses pig iron to make a shell, which is filled with gunpowder, and the iron sheet fragments after the explosion can penetrate the armor stomach.
But in the eyes of Liu Guangshi and the other Song generals, the power of these firearms is okay, but they can't be thrown too far and are of little use.
The power of iron artillery is not bad, and it can shoot quite far, but this kind of thing, without accuracy, power, is just like that, it is troublesome to use, and if you are not careful, it will explode, or cause a fire.
In fact, the use of rockets and artillery in this period is not small, it can be regarded as conventional equipment, for example, in the battle with the Western Xia forty years ago, the rockets and artillery used by the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty were in units of 10,000 and 1,000.
However, because firearms are flammable and explosive, and there is no obvious advantage in power, the soldiers of the Song army are reluctant to use them.
The key is that the soldiers of the Song army now have better bed crossbows and divine arm bows, these two divine weapons are not comparable to these messy firearms in terms of range and accuracy, and there is no danger of injuring their own people.
Therefore, at the beginning, Niu Meng said the same as Xianbao, the Tiger Ben Army has two secret weapons, no conscience cannon and thunder, and the soldiers of the Song Army laughed forward and backwards, thinking that the people of the Tiger Ben Army are really a group of dirt buns, and we are all unwilling to use the tatters, they are actually regarded as secret weapons.
At this time, seeing that Niu Meng wanted to brag about the unconscionable cannon and thunder of the Tiger Ben Army, Liu Guangshi, who felt that Xiuzhou City might have been breached, how could he be in the mood to listen to Niu Meng boast about these useless weapons?
So Liu Guangshi interrupted Niu Meng and said, "Niu Xianggong, Xiuzhou City is in danger, you quickly send someone who is familiar with the road to investigate, see if we still need to rescue it?"
When Niu Meng heard this, he hurriedly sent his cronies to inquire about the news.
It didn't take long for the sentry to come back and report that there were probably millions of troops under Xiuzhou City, and the banner of the Tiger Ben Army had been hung on Xiuzhou City.
Knowing this, Liu Guangshi sighed for a long time, and he keenly felt that the situation was not good......
