822:The power of kerosene
"Gather the warships, especially the clear water, all of them."
Chen Xing arranged the follow-up matters in an orderly manner, and when Liu Rushi came back, he asked: "In the past, there were many fights between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jiaozhi people, although there were not many people, but they could also see the leopard and know their bravery. They refused to come down then, but today they do, do you know why? ”
Liu Rushi shook his head, after all, he was still a newcomer in the army, and he didn't know much about them.
Chen Xing patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Because of your bravery!" ”
"Because of bravery?"
"Yes."
Chen Xing remembered Liu Rushi's crazy slashing before, and couldn't help but feel happy that he had such a deputy, "Jiaozhi people are conceited and brave, but when they find out that we are more brave, they are afraid, they panic, and then they will be weak...... That's why they asked to surrender. ”
Human bravery is a means of bullying.
When faced with the weaker side, someone takes the lead and is not afraid of death, and countless people will then become more confident and courageous.
"This bravery will not end until it meets a more courageous army."
The only way to defeat the Brave is to be more brave than them, so as to break their will.
Liu Rushi was stunned and asked, "Can the Great Song army be brave now?" ”
In his mind, there should be no, otherwise he would not be afraid of the Liao people.
"It used to be weak, but now it's getting stronger."
Chen Xing said: "The Great Song Dynasty defeated the Western Xia people, and the heavy cavalry of the Liao people also suffered heavy losses in Fuzhou. ”
"Lord Qin......"
Liu Rushi suddenly thought of Qin Wei, "Those victories are all Lord Qin, as well as those oil bombs, and those gunpowder jars...... It was with these that the Great Song Dynasty regained its courage and the soldiers became brave again. ”
The process of cultivating bravery requires constant victory, and when victory has become a habit, self-confidence will explode, and you will dare to fight against any strong enemy.
Chen Xing said longingly: "The Great Song Dynasty is slowly becoming stronger, and now the Liao people can't threaten us, ...... in the future."
He looked to the north.
There is the pain point of the Great Song Dynasty, Yan Yun.
Liu Rushi was also looking at the north, "Lord Qin said that the so-called invincibility is just bluffing, if there is such a strong enemy, then go and break their backbones, let them kneel down and laugh when they see us......
"I can win!"
Chen Xing nodded and said, "I believe there will be such a day." ”
The fleet quickly assembled and set off again, and from time to time there were simple dwellings on the shore, and some peasants who were cultivating the land, and their faces changed greatly when they saw the fleet.
“…………”
The cochins shouted in a language they didn't understand, and then began to run in all directions, discarding their hoes and everything that would slow them down.
"They said the enemy was coming, but they didn't know where we came from."
Chen Xing glanced back and said, "The Jiaozhi people only know how to invade the Great Song Dynasty, and they feel that foreign enemies can't fight them, so these people don't know our warships at all. ”
When the front dwellings became dense, the army appeared, and the army of several hundred men trotted along the shore with the flotilla, and some were drawing bows and arrows.
"Kill them!"
The crossbow salvo passed, and the cochin sergeants fell a small piece, and the rest ran away with a shout, and the cochin men, with two horses, were sent to report the news.
The war horse ran out of strength directly, and only arrived at Thang Long City before dark, and the general was led all the way into the palace.
Li Rizun was eating.
He also likes to eat mutton, but the mutton raised locally in Cochin is not delicious, and it is not as good as the Great Song sheep that was paid tribute to that time.
He put down the leg of mutton and said to the attendant on the side: "The Song people have a treasure land, but they are cowardly, how good would it be if that place was from my dynasty?" ”
The Jiaozhi place is not big, which makes him, who claims to be the hero, feel too aggrieved.
"If there were so many places and so many people in the Great Song Dynasty, I would dare to go to the north to have a look."
After defeating the Liao, Jiaozhi will be able to establish a great empire that has never been seen before.
The sound of footsteps interrupted his dream, and he sighed and said, "It's running, look." ”
An attendant greeted him out, Li Rizun put down his chopsticks, knowing that this meal was probably inedible, and later the chamberlain brought the general in.
"Your Majesty......"
The general galloped all the way, and he was already tired at the moment, but in order not to be punished, he still pretended to be diligent.
"Speak."
Li Rizun stared at the generals, guessing that there was a local rebellion.
There are many mountains and forests in Cochin, and those tribes are hiding in the mountains and forests, and no one can do anything about them. From time to time, these tribes come out to plunder, and after being beaten up, they will be more honest.
The general said, "Your Majesty, the warships of the Song army are here. ”
Bang!
Li Rizun kicked over the case, got up and asked, "How much?" How big? ”
"Many, dozens, all big ships that have never been seen before, big."
"How many sergeants are there on board?"
"Many, and lots of crossbows."
"Let Li Changjie and them come."
Later, the civil and military officials came, and the generals told the enemy situation again.
"This is the Song people's water army."
Li Changjie said in a deep voice: "They came from the open sea, did they mean it or not?" ”
The general said, "They have been coming this way. ”
"That's intentional!"
Li Changjie arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Shenglong City has not encountered an enemy for many years, and it is good that the Song army is here." The minister asked to lead the army to defend against the enemy, if he could completely annihilate this Song army under the city, it would just boost the morale of the army. ”
Li Rizun pondered for a moment, "Are you sure?" ”
Li Changjie said lightly: "The war ministers of Xipingzhou were not there, otherwise Qin Wei would not have the slightest chance." ”
He cut himself off for the sake of power, but he refused to let go of any opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
"Qin Wei used the corpses of our warriors to build a Beijing Temple in Xipingzhou last time, which is unbearable!" Li Rizun's enterprising spirit is relatively strong, so Li Changjie knows how to arouse his courage.
Li Rizun nodded and said, "So...... Then use the head of the Song army to build a Jingguan, the bigger the better! ”
Li Changjie bowed, raised his head and said, "The minister will definitely live up to his mission." ”
Li Rizun became excited, "After this battle, you can send envoys to the Song people to reprimand their attacks...... The Song people changed the emperor, and the new emperor didn't know what his temperament was, if he was weak, it was an opportunity to cross his toes, so this battle was undefeatable. ”
Li Changjie bowed, and the ministers bowed.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Voices echoed through the temple, and in the twilight, a flock of tired birds flew by.
……
The morning in Thang Long was cold, but that was for the locals.
"Bianliang is much colder than this."
It was Wang Ben, the commander of the infantry who spoke, who was very tall, and Liu Rushi was a little shorter when he stood in front of him.
"I've seen the marquis."
Wang Ben looked at the mist in the distance, sniffed and said, "The Jiaozhi people must know the news of our army's attack, and there will be a big battle today." ”
Liu Rushi was looking at Thang Long City in the mist, Chen Xing on the side put down his binoculars and said: "Thang Long City has not been attacked for many years, Li Rizun will inevitably raise a large army to strangle us, and now I think it should be ......."
He glanced at Liu Rushi.
"Sound from east to west!"
"That's right!"
The two smiled at each other, and Chen Xing ordered: "In this way, you can lead the fleet to the west of the city to attack and disturb, and go ashore with foot soldiers, go to a prosperous place outside the city to grab a handful and leave." ”
Liu Rushi was a little reluctant, "If there is a chance to kill the enemy, military master, remember to summon so." ”
Chen Xing frowned and said: "I have seen a lot of warriors who kill the enemy in the army, but I rarely see you who are so thirsty for killing. ”
There are people in the army who have killed too many enemies and become crazy, and Chen Xing doesn't want to see his deputy become like that.
"Can't hold on?"
Liu Rushi said with a smile: "The military lord is too worried, this is a painting painted casually last night when he had nothing to do, please look at it, but is it still in your eyes?" ”
He took out a piece of paper from his arms, and when he spread it out, it was a picture of the country.
Mountains stretch across the paper. Flowing clouds flowed like water between the mountains, and the verdant forest spread all over the mountaintop, and a few small red flowers dotted the edges......
"The country is picturesque!"
Chen Xing was relieved, he could paint a picture with such a pattern, Liu Rushi couldn't go crazy!
Immediately, the fleet began to dock, and Chen Xing led more than 2,000 people to go ashore to hide and wait.
"Let's go!"
Looting is a technical job.
Liu Rushi wanted to do it, but Chen Xing used Shangguan's identity to take the lead.
The fleet began to move forward, and when it reached the west, the fog cleared, and the city of Thang Long could be faintly seen in the distance.
"Prepare to land!"
The fleet approached slowly, but the sails did not drop, ready to run at any moment.
"Enemy spotted!"
The lookout spotted the enemy.
"Tens of thousands...... The marquis is all enemy troops! ”
The lookout's excitement was gone, and his voice trembled a little.
How many people are there here?
Chen Xing took the main force of more than 2,000 people, and the remaining strength on the ship was not enough to fight the enemy in a decisive battle.
Liu Rushi stopped going ashore and shouted: "Crossbow arrows are ready, fire oil bombs are ready ......"
It's impossible to go back empty-handed, so he decided to teach the Jiaozhi people a lesson.
"Wander away!"
The Cochin people came overwhelmingly, and Liu Rushi ordered the fleet to swim east.
"Stop them!"
There were a large number of archers and crossbowmen in the Jiaozhi army, and the width of the river here was barely enough to attack with crossbow arrows, as long as he got close, Li Changjie was sure that the Song army would suffer a big loss.
"Fire Oil Bomb!"
The ship's trebuchet threw a batch of fire oil and ejected it.
The oil bomb flew over with flames, and Li Changjie wondered when he saw it: "What is this?" ”
Bang!
The fire oil bomb fell to the ground and shattered, countless sparks splashed everywhere, and those cochin sergeants were glued to their bodies by the sparks, so they slapped them with their hands indifferently.
Then they found out in despair......
The fire seemed to have taken root, and it couldn't be extinguished, and even his hands were on fire.
"Help!"
The Jiaozhi people, who had never encountered such a strange situation, panicked.
Li Changjie thought that he would win today, so when he went out of the city, some powerful businessmen said that they came to watch the battle, and he agreed, and at this moment those powerful businessmen were watching this tragic scene blankly.
The igniting sergeants were screaming and running, and the order was chaotic.
