Chapter 263: Wind and Fire 2
If the heavy iron cavalry is the end of cold weapons, then artillery should be regarded as the beginning of hot weapons.
From the moment the black gunpowder exploded the copper furnace, this warm and cold world headed in a direction that was difficult to say.
Taoists inadvertently created life-ending weapons with the idea of immortality, and the immortal journey they pursued was such an irony.
In the Sui period, there was a combination of one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, and then the ratio improvement during the Tang Xianzong period, until the Hongwu iron cannon at this time.
Condescendingly, for the defense of the city, the artillery is invincible, and lined up on the plain, as long as the artillery does not explode, the ammunition is sufficient, and the weather is not too bad, the power is the nightmare of every knife wielder.
The 500 iron cannons at the head of Ningxia City were brought by Li Jinglong, and nearly 50,000 foot cavalry cooperated. Unless he is unlucky, his blade is the will of death.
"The artillery battalion is in the center, lined up, with half of the sword, gun, shield, and foot soldiers on both wings, and the cavalry retreating behind the formation, paying attention to the distance. Everything is up to my generals!"
"Command!"
"The last general obeys!"
Seven or eight miles east of Ganzhou City, after half an hour of battle arrays, Li Jinglong gave an order, and the speed of the army rose sharply.
He had to arrive before the situation under the city of Ganzhou became clear, and the chaotic situation was most beneficial to the army, which was dominated by artillery, which was the truth that Li Jinglong himself summed up from the military book.
Li Jinglong, the so-called No. 1 gentleman in the capital, is not a rumored wine bag and rice bag from the perspective of this row of troops.
People always subconsciously feel that the rich family is unfilial, which is too subjective. It is undeniable that in terms of the degree of evil, the children of rich families are indeed more powerful than ordinary people in terms of power and money, and where is the petty evil of cheating, cheating, blocking roads, and robbing is favored by those who have detached themselves from low-level interests?
But on the other hand, it is precisely because of the superiority of power and money that their horizons are broader, and those who have a heart read more books.
Therefore, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, that is, Li Jinglong's father, spares no effort in his love for his only son, as long as Li Jinglong wants to, there is nothing he can't get. When Li Wenzhong was there, it was not so much that Li Jinglong was gentle, but that he was just a willful young master who was spoiled by his father, he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, but he was not used in the right place.
Since when did Li Jinglong transform into a civil and military hero?
From the day Hua poisoned his father to death, to be more precise, it was the moment he heard his father take the medicine bowl from Hou Huazhong in Huai'an under the bed, Li Jinglong changed.
To this day, he can't forget his father's conversation with Huazhong before taking the medicine.
"Grandpa Guo is unwell, and the emperor is very concerned, so he specially ordered his subordinates to treat his grandfather. ”
"You are no longer under my command, so why should you consider yourself subordinate?"
“。。。。。。 ”
"A wind chill, any Lang Zhong can't cure it? I want your Huai'an Hou to govern it, heh... Do you know how to heal?"
“。。。。。。 ”
"And where did you get this medicine?"
"The emperor's meaning should be understood, so why bother to say more. I can't say it, my grandfather is gone, and my subordinates won't be able to live for a few days, grandpa, look away, and you can still keep the glory of the house. ”
"Alas... His Majesty was suspicious and couldn't trust others, thinking that I, the nephew who was born and died for him, would never commit his taboo, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to escape this day. ”
"No one can escape this day, sooner or later. ”
"Hmph, let's go down there and see how he explains to my aunt and father. ”
After the grunting swallowing sound, the medicine bowl was broken into a few petals on the ground, and there were small slags that collapsed on Li Jinglong's face, creating a small blood puddle, which was very painful, but it was not as distressing as the heart.
On another seven days, the day when Li Wenzhong's coffin was buried in the ground, Emperor Hongwu took his title because he suspected that Hou Huazhong of Huai'an had poisoned him, and expelled his family to Jianchangwei.
The murderer who nominally poisoned one of the six founding dukes of the country, and the ending turned out to be just a distribution, Li Jinglong smiled in front of the gate of the Susu Mansion and under the plaque of the Cao Guo Mansion.
"Zhu Yuanzhang, if you kill my father, I will take revenge. ”
Eighteen years of leisure, thirty-two-year-old Li Jinglong waited for the opportunity, a wonderful opportunity, if everything goes well, in the near future, Zhu Yuanzhang's son will kill his most beloved grandson, and the glory of his Cao Guogong Mansion will last for ten thousand years, and he will rest with the country.
If all goes well ...
Shield array, column!
Li Jinglong was in the middle, and when the enemy was about to enter the range of the artillery, cast-iron projectiles were added to the barrel, one foot soldier was responsible for filling the gunpowder, one began to prepare the torch, and the commander commanded the remaining two assistants to calculate the height angle of the barrel.
"Grandpa, everything is ready to fire at any time. It's just that... The capable-looking adjutant general stood under Li Jinglong's horse with his fists folded, and his face hesitated: "It's just that the enemy army is gathered under the city of Ganzhou, if the cannon is fired, I am afraid that the city will collapse and affect the defenders and civilians in the city." ”
"It's not something you should worry about. Li Jinglong stared coldly at the adjutant general who entered the speech: "On the battle array, how can you tolerate the kindness of women." If there are any more words to disturb the hearts of our army, behead!"
"The last general is guilty!" The adjutant general hurriedly knelt on the ground and said that in his identity as Li Jinglong, if he killed one lieutenant general, he would kill twenty or thirty of them, and I believe that there would be no end.
"Hmph!" Li Jinglong raised his hand to shade him, looked at the city in the distance, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Breaking your arm today is also a great achievement in the future." ”
The soldiers and barbarians fighting under the city gathered in one place to fight, and even Wu Kedi had not yet sensed the coming of death, and was still proud of the victory brought by his precise decision-making.
At the head of the city, Yun Zheng looked at this group of uninvited guests from afar, his brows furrowed, could this be the variable that the overseer was talking about? He really couldn't see the necessity of the current situation for the existence of variables.
Maybe it's just that I'm too stupid.
"Hehe, the Overseer has even brought in artillery, it seems that we are worrying about it for nothing. "It's still Gou Xiaoyun, and only he can smile at such a time.
"If the Overseer arranges it, I'm afraid that there will be no more living people in the city without our help. Dongfang Han is also optimistic.
It was Fang Tianyou who made a different statement at this time: "It's really arranged by the overseer, it's better to say, if not? You may see who the leading general is?"
"It's hard to see, yes or no, it's useless to guess, maybe in a moment, we'll know. ”
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
A series of loud bangs roared, and the Grim Reaper flicked his fingers and began a desperate harvest. 18110
