"Looks like they're in a hurry!"

Sitting on the top of the fort, Zhang Qi spent his time looking at the rebels rushing in the distance.

The rumbling of cannons outside was mixed with the wails before death, but he looked calm, just sat on the Taishi chair and tasted the tea in his hand.

Directly opposite, Na Kong Zhen put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes swept over the battlefield in the distance, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous: "It seems that this is indeed the case." Is it just that we just sit here and don't have to go to support?"

"The opposing general has not played, what are you and I anxious about?"

Zhang Qi glared at him with some reproach, and replied confidently: "They are just a temptation now, and the purpose is just to delay our pace so as to buy them enough time." Since they want to do it, let them do it. After all, no matter what they do, they can't change the ending of the city break. ”

"Oh, look at you like this, but you are full of confidence. Kong Zhen smiled, and then remembered something, but asked, "But aren't you worried? After all, some time ago, that Duan Ling made up that new rocket thing." If he pushes this thing out, we're afraid it's going to be dangerous. ”

Before, when he was holding the fort, he was really startled by the rocket car.

Just one piece collapsed a corner of the turret, and although it was repaired, there are still traces of it until now.

Zhang Qi smiled contemptuously: "Do you mean that rocket car? It's not that you haven't seen it, the accuracy of this thing is not accurate, and nine times out of ten you don't know where it misses." What can this thing do?"

With Zhang Jue's gaze, he could see the problem with the rocket car at a glance, so he didn't worry about this thing at all.

"If that's the case, that's good. Kong Zhen closed his mouth and quietly tasted the tea in his hand.

Outside the fort, the rumbling cannon of the past gradually dissipated, leaving only a scream, which made people feel particularly infiltrating when they listened to it.

Finally retreating from the front position, Zheng Qiao suddenly had a feeling of the rest of his life.

"Why did you retreat again?"

Glancing at Duan Ling with puzzlement, Zheng Qiao was a little unclear about Duan Ling's thoughts.

Since the beginning, Duan Ling has always sent his subordinates, and the number is not large, and each time there are two or three hundred people to attack. Of course, it's useless to have too many numbers, after all, the battlefield is limited, and it really can't accommodate so many people. The rest of the people stand in the back and are responsible for support, and if they see their comrades in danger, they will go directly to rescue them.

And so on for three days.

Duan Ling nodded and replied, "Of course! After all, we don't have many troops, so of course it's impossible to fight hard." ”

"Is that really the case?"

Zheng Qiao was a little suspicious, the troops in their hands were indeed not much, except for the more than 1,000 people guarding Handan, the remaining 1,000 people were all in the hands of Duan Ling.

With a force of 1,000 men, it is naturally difficult to repel the opponent, but if you capture the fort, it is more than enough.

Now like this, Zheng Qiao began to wonder what Duan Ling planned and why this fort was always standing here.

Duan Ling replied affirmatively: "Of course!"

"But you also know that during this time, the city has really lost a lot of money because of this fort. Zheng Qiao scolded.

Duan Ling said: "Of course I know. But the loss is only some houses, and ordinary people can still avoid them as long as they are prepared. Isn't it?"

The fort could not be destroyed in a short period of time, so Zhou Yu and others called on the people in the city to dig pits at home, and build air-raid shelters in various places that are easy to hide, and if they heard the sound of cannons, they would hide directly in it.

This method really greatly reduced the losses of the people in the city.

Seeing that Duan Ling didn't care, Zheng Qiao felt annoyed, thinking that Duan Ling didn't appreciate the people in the city: "Of course I know. But you should also understand that if you let this fort hang over your head all the time, it will be a thorn after all. If you don't pull out the thorn, everyone will be uncomfortable. ”

"Of course I do. But I know better that even if we destroy this fort, the other side can still build a second, third, or even tenth. This kind of thing cannot be avoided without completely crushing and annihilating the other party. Isn't it?" Duan Ling is still insisting on his own ideas.

Of course, his words are still so direct, it is easy to make others angry.

"Our goal now is to completely annihilate the enemy, not to obsess over destroying the batteries in front of us. Got it?"

"But you can't leave the people of the city aside. Don't forget, why are we here?" Sure enough, Zheng Qiao was angered on the spot, and shouted directly.

It's a pity that Duan Ling is not so easy to change.

He continued to argue: "That's why I'm going to kill the other party completely! Otherwise, wouldn't it be endless? You also graduated from a military academy, why don't you even understand this?"

"Okay. Tell me, what is your purpose?"

Zheng Qiao had no choice but to give up, although it was not very comfortable to look at Duan Ling, but he also knew that Duan Ling himself also had talents, and he had his own reasons for doing so.

"Purpose?"

After straightening his clothes, Duan Ling's eyes were slightly condensed, and he landed in the fort, his eyes were full of provocation, and he seemed to see Kong Zhen and Zhang Qi inside, that is, the two people who planned and made his plan completely fail.

At this moment, the two of them also seemed to have sensed something, and Gu raised his head and looked in the direction where Duan Ling was.

"Annihilating the other party, of course, and destroying that guy. ”

Touching his chest, he felt that the injury left by the other party was still faintly painful, and a heart was constantly beating, inputting hot blood into it, making him excited.

"What the other party left behind, I will naturally let the other party pay for the blood debt!"

Zheng Qiao sighed in his heart: "This is your style." Leading the troops under his command, everyone returned to Handan City and began to prepare for the next battle.

And after these rounds of fighting, the whole army has also begun to mature from the rabble at the beginning, without the noise at the beginning, let alone the feeling of being casual, and has begun to have a feeling of an army.

At least in Zheng Qiao's opinion, these people are also willing to accept their orders.

In the past, this kind of thing was rare.

............

"Finally retreated?"

Exhaling the turbidity in his chest, Kong Zhen relaxed slightly.

Although he understood that it would be difficult for the other party to break through the trenches, he was still a little worried about how he would respond if the other party suddenly launched a general attack.

At the beginning of the first war, he had a deep impression of Duan Ling!

Zhang Jue stood up, but said, "Since they have retreated, it should be our turn to attack." After all, for such a long time, the brothers can only defend, and they must have accumulated a lot of resentment, and they should be released. ”

"Oh, look at you like this, are you planning to launch a general attack?" Kong Zhen asked.

Zhang Jue replied: "That's nature. After all, the time agreed with my father is almost up, and if you don't defeat the other party before that, it will leave a lot of trouble. I don't think my father should want to be defending against the Song army, when such a hard nail suddenly appeared in his back!"

"Song Jun?"

Kong Zhen was a little interested, but asked: "I heard that this southern and northern expedition is commanded by Jia Nidao. Even if the other party's strength has not yet reached the Heaven Rank, he also needs to make his father take action?"

"Jia Rudao, just this guy, how can you need your father's help? But you also have to know that there are many people in the Southern Dynasty. Even though Meng Gong, Yu Jie, Zhao Ding and others have passed away one after another, there are still heroes such as Zhang Shijie and Li Tingzhi. Especially Zhang Shijie is the most courageous, and he has blocked his father's army on the front line of Huaihai several times. On the bright side this time, although it is led by Jia Yidao, there are Zhang Shijie and Li Tingzhi in the secret. In order to prevent these two people, the Khan ordered his father and Boyan to garrison Jinan in case the Central Plains was occupied by the other party. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jue seemed to feel angry, but he scolded.

"Speaking of that Zhang Shijie, I am also angry. That guy was also my uncle, and he and my father used to be considered the best of their generation. Who would have thought that this guy was also a person who had gone against his ancestors and would have joined the command of the Song Dynasty and fought against his father? If it weren't for my unsuccessful martial arts, I would definitely have to go into battle and let that guy know that my clan rules are powerful. ”

"Listen to what you say. That Zhang Shijie seems to have been of the same race as you?" Kong Zhen was slightly surprised.

This news is also the first time he has heard it.

Zhang Jue closed his head and replied, "That's right. But don't worry, if you go to the battlefield, I will naturally not show mercy. Set a certain number to let that guy know, if he violates the rules of the clan, what will happen to him!" Then, he glanced at Kong Zhen and said with a smile: "But speaking of which, I remember that your great-grandfather Kong Duanyou also joined the Southern Dynasty in the name of respecting the Han family. Isn't it?"

"This is also forced by the situation, and it is not something that I and other juniors can figure out. ”

Kong Zhen felt embarrassed and had to prevaricate.

In fact, they have done this kind of behavior of throwing in the forces on both sides, otherwise how could it be extended for thousands of years?

Zhang Jue didn't want to continue to talk about this ugly family, so he said: "Since it has been decided to start the general attack tomorrow, I don't know if you plan to defend the fort or attack the city?"

"Well, this army is owned by Brother Zhang, and I'm just a guest general. Naturally, it should be left to Brother Zhang to make the decision!" Kong Zhen excused himself.

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "Since I have the support of Brother Kong, then this time it is natural that I should personally attack Handan." As for this fort, it was handed over to Brother Kong. I also hope that when the time comes, you can help me break through the other party's city gate and successfully kill all the thieves in the city. ”

Speaking of the rebels in the city, he had a sinister look on his face.

Kong Zhen replied: "Of course!"

For this rebel army, Kong Zhen did not hide his killing intent.

Many of the policies pursued by the Red Phoenix Army have really violated the interests of the Confucian Mansion, and if they are not completely eradicated, then they will be extremely stupid.

And after a week of shelling, Handan City finally began to show fatigue, and they had already grinded their teeth and wiped their mouths, just waiting to give the final blow.

Now, it's finally time to see the poor dagger.

............

Handan City.

It seems that they have not yet noticed the movement of the army outside the city, so everyone still maintains the same as before.

Zhou Yu was still worried about the garrison in the city, while Wang Xingxing and Mao Renfeng personally went out to appease the people who were a little flustered so that they would not become flustered because of the war;

"The previous rocket car didn't have fixtures, so it was easy to get affected by the flames from behind, and as I suggested, it was better to add fixtures. That way, you won't be running around. ”

Combined with the first suggestion, Duan Ling put forward his own suggestion.

This rocket car has already been exposed, so there is no need for the two of them to continue to hide it, so they show it generously and continue to study how to improve the rocket car in their hands.

Juan was a little surprised and asked, "But in this case, its weight will increase by at least thirty catties, are you sure you want to install it?"

"Of course!"

Duan Ling nodded, staring at the remaining two rocket cars.

Probably to avoid angering Duan Ling, so Zhou Yu did not hinder this matter, which gave Duan Ling more time and energy to collect the corresponding materials to improve the rocket car.

Today's rocket cars, as he originally envisioned, are all forged from pig iron.

Of course, the rocket car has also changed considerably, the previous wooden box is gone, and it has been replaced by six rails that are one person long. Because it was also forged from iron sheets, the diameter and length of the rocket had also increased a lot, and it was as thick as an adult's arm, and the length was more than six feet, which made it particularly slender. At the tail end, like a crossbow arrow, the tail is installed to stabilize the rocket, so that it has considerable accuracy.

In short, compared with the previous one, it is completely different.

According to Duan Ling's request, Juan installed two more iron rods on both sides of the rocket car, which could be pierced directly into the ground, so as to stabilize the entire body of the car so that it would not run around like the first time.

"In that case, it should be able to take its accuracy to the next level. Looking at this, Duan Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he's got this thing from artillery and the Godbreaker's crossbow.

Because the recoil of the city gun is too large, it is necessary to install a shovel in the back to stabilize the entire battery. The Godbreaker needs to aim at the target, so you need to use the wings on the back to change the direction of flight to ensure accuracy.

Duan Ling was also inspired to transplant these two things to the rocket in front of him.

Of course, because the recoil of this rocket car is not so large, it does not need to be so big to stop the shovel, as long as it is stable enough, and the wings only need to ensure the direction of flight, so it is not so troublesome.

At least, with the joint efforts of Duan Ling and Juan, this thing was still made.

Looking at the finished thing in front of him, Duan Ling felt relieved, and thought to himself: "Wait until next time, I will definitely want them to taste the power of this thing!"
