Chapter 144: Anger
Subutai sat down with a pale face, still unable to stop his anger for a long time, he gasped for a moment and shouted loudly.
"Call Chavur in!"
Cha Wuer was another commander of a thousand soldiers who went to the Song Realm, but he was just the deputy of the thousand commanders Zhenhai who was killed.
Cha Wur came in, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Hurry up, spare your life! Spare your life! ”
Outside the big tent just now, he had already seen the ending of Zhenhai, and he was trembling all over.
Zhenhai tried his best to loot so many rare treasures, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance to present them to Subutai, so he died.
"4,000 warriors, half of the heavy armored cavalry died, and the light armored cavalry lost more than 1,400 horses, but you should tell me, did you defeat the Song people's Lin'an City or Xiangyang Mansion?"
Subutai kicked Cha Wuer, stood up, and followed the punch and kick before gasping back to the chair.
Chawuer was the deputy and annihilated thousands of Song troops, although Subutai was dissatisfied with his loss of five or six hundred horsemen, but he would not be killed directly.
In fact, Cha Wu and Zhenhai plundered in the Jin Realm and also lost hundreds of Mongolian troops, but these accounts were all counted on the dead and wounded of the Mongol army in the Song Realm.
"Tell me quickly, what happened, why did so many soldiers die and wounded?"
The thousand-household chief tower next to him hurriedly shouted angrily.
Chawuer is his youngest, and the relationship between the two is irreversible, he is afraid that he will get angry and beat Chawuer to death.
As one of the only remaining "four dogs" of Genghis Khan, Subutai is to execute everyone here, and Genghis Khan will not blame Subutai.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Cha Wuer knelt on the ground, 1510, and carefully recounted the situation of the battle outside the city of Xihe Prefecture.
"I was fighting with the Song army south of Chuzhou, and I heard from Zhenhai's subordinates. If you want to ask carefully, you should call Zhenhae's subordinates in. ”
Cha Wur hurriedly told the truth, and at the same time shirked his responsibility.
"If you want to ask, I will naturally ask, I want you to teach me!"
Su Butai's eyes widened, and the head was whipped again. Chavur endured the pain and knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
"Xihe State? Four or five thousand Song troops? Firearm? ”
Subutai calmed down, and then reacted.
"You mean, the Song army used firearms? The same firearm as Lingzhou City? ”
Subutai's face became solemn and asked solemnly.
The Mongol army besieged the city of Lingzhou for more than several months, but finally failed, and had no choice but to withdraw the army, which also made Genghis Khan's condition deteriorate under the wrath. The reason for this is the ferocious firearms of the defenders of Lingzhou City.
The stone thrower was broken again and again, it was useless, the Mongolian army could only attack, the opponent's small artillery shook the sky and thundered indiscriminately, the Mongolian army was killed and wounded, and could only besiege but not attack, the army went south, captured the Jinjing Pass City around Liupan Mountain, and expected to be besieged for a long time, the defenders of Lingzhou City ran out of ammunition and had to surrender.
"Yes, almost. However, the Song army also has a kind of cannon, which is placed on the car, and it hits very fast and ruthlessly! ”
Cha Wuer looked at the speed and asked carefully, and he was also 1510, and he didn't dare to hide it at all.
All the generals in the tent were stunned, sat still on the platform, thought for a long time, and suddenly asked:
"The artillery of the Tang Wuti people can't be obtained from the southerners, right?"
The generals looked at each other, all suspicious.
In the middle of the Song and Xia, there was a Jin country, and there were very few battles between the Mongolian army and the Song people, and the Mongolian army was really unclear whether the Song people had firearms.
"There is a Jin country between Song and Xia, and we have laid down so many cities in Lanzhou, Taozhou, and Lintaofu, and we have not seen that the Jin people have firearms. If this is the case, how did the firearms of the Nanren get to Lingzhou City? ”
The commander of the sea asked ignorantly.
"Song Jin is a feud, if the southerners have firearms, they will never give them to the Jin people! In my opinion, both the Nanren and the Xia people have made firearms, but the firearms of the Xia people are not as powerful as the Nanren! ”
Tari said it suspiciously, and he was also puzzled.
He didn't think that between Song and Xia, it must be a hook-up.
"If it's all artillery or something, this battle won't be easy to fight."
The other commander of the Thousand Commanders, Erye, had an ugly face and sighed bitterly.
Lingzhou was not defeated because the Xia soldiers defending the city had firearms. I didn't expect to go to Song Realm to show off his strength, and the Song army also had firearms.
Firearms have simply become a roadblock for the Mongolian army to dominate the world, and a nightmare in the hearts of countless Mongolian soldiers!
"The artillery of the Song army is more powerful than the defenders of Lingzhou. If it weren't for this, the warriors wouldn't have suffered such a big loss! ”
After Chawuer finished speaking, he looked at Subutai cautiously.
Subutai looked coldly ahead, without saying a word, and his mind was not on Chawuer.
Because of the ferocity of the firearms of the defenders of Lingzhou, the Mongol army suffered heavy losses, Lingzhou City was not defeated, and Western Xia has not yet come to surrender. It was precisely because Western Xia did not surrender that Genghis Khan's condition became worse and worse. So much so that there was a lot of discussion in the army, saying that Genghis Khan was going to die soon.
Firearms are everywhere, gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, flesh and blood are blurred, devastating and decaying, and it has become a lingering nightmare for the Mongol army.
If Jin Guokai also has firearms, how can Jin destroy Xia?
Retracting his gaze, Su Butai waved his hand impatiently, Cha Wuer quickly got up, stood aside, and secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling palpitations.
This time, it was finally escaped.
"Didn't you break the Tiers? Didn't you come back with some artillery or something? ”
Subutai suddenly looked at Chawuer and asked softly.
"Those Song soldiers in Jiezhou, everyone is hard-boned, there are two iron bumps that haven't exploded, and the rest of the artillery, some of them blew up, but they finally grabbed a few!"
Chaur's heart was beating faster, he bowed his head and bowed his waist, and said cautiously:
"In addition, when the Song army was fighting in the south of the city, I asked Zhebei to grab some firearms, and I asked him to bring them all in immediately."
Subutai nodded coldly, and Chawuer hurriedly ran out.
Chaul soon returned, and the sergeant brought two pieces of artillery that had been blown up, a few pieces of artillery that were intact, some iron balls and iron pellets, and a few earth-shattering thunderbolts that had not exploded, all of which were placed on the ground.
Subutai and the generals stepped forward one after another, and everyone watched carefully, and then stood up straight for a while.
"The inside of the artillery is like a mirror, and at first glance it looks like good iron. If this iron is used to make weapons and armor, it must be a good thing! ”
Commander Erye is good at building weapons, whether he is good iron or not, you can see at a glance.
"The artillery is the same as the assault, but much more powerful than the assault. There is also this earth-shattering thunder, and the gunpowder that can explode in it is fundamental. ”
Tari is well-informed, fought in the north and south, and suffered the loss of the Jin army's firearms, and he can see the key at a glance.
Whether it is the firearms of the Western Xia or these earth-shattering thunders of the Song army, the lethality is much stronger than the firearms of the Jin army.
"Those craftsmen in the army, can they make these scary things?"
A general subconsciously asked.
The craftsmen in the Mongol army were all skilled craftsmen from all over the world, and perhaps they would have a way to imitate firearms.
"Tsauul, go! Call the craftsmen in! ”
Su Butai's eyes lit up, and he immediately gave a military order.
The reason why the Mongol army dominated the world and was invincible was not only because of its valiant combat and advanced cavalry tactics, but also because they had a army of craftsmen accompanying the army. These craftsmen never took part in battle, but they took great credit.
The Mongols were accustomed to slaughtering the city after attacking it, but they would leave behind craftsmen of various ethnic groups such as Han, Turkic, and Huihui. These craftsmen made siege ladders and stone throwers for the Mongol army, and made bows and arrows that had two or three times the range of ordinary bows.
"General, this is the firearm of the Song people, killing and injuring the other party with the iron pieces produced by the explosion, just like those in Lingzhou City. But the gunpowder of the Song people does not seem to be so powerful. ”
"And this artillery, which is fine wrought iron, has a smooth surface, and there is no trachoma, which is very difficult to make. This must have been made by the skilled craftsmen of the Song people. ”
The craftsmen came in, observed for a moment, and spoke.
The iron used in artillery is delicate and trachoma-free, with a smooth surface that seems to be tougher than wrought iron. This may be what the Song people called "finger wrapping soft".
Don't say that the good iron in front of you, even the best wrought iron, is not easy to smelt.
"Then tell me, will gunpowder be made? Can good iron be smelted? ”
Subutai asked patiently.
"The gunpowder of the Great Song Dynasty was not so powerful before, it could only burn, and the explosion was limited to injuries. This is supposed to be a newly made gunpowder, and it may not be made for a while. ”
"It's the same with iron smelting, you have to try it when you go back. These cannons are all fine wrought iron, which may take a long time, and I don't know if I can smelt such pure molten iron. ”
The craftsmen replied, shaking their heads.
"What a bunch of shit, what's the use of asking you!"
Subutai couldn't hold back any longer, and a sharp voice came out.
The craftsmen were submissive and did not dare to say anything.
Tari was secretly surprised. These craftsmen are all baby bumps, and the Great Khan is very polite to them on weekdays. Unexpectedly, Subutai lost his temper with the craftsmen.
It can be seen from this that Subutai has a lot of anger and anger in his heart.
