Chapter Fifty-Six: The Artillery of the Great Song Dynasty

But I haven't heard Master Wen boast so much, and this young general in front of him who is not amazing and has never even heard of his reputation. Not only was he accepted as an apprentice by Master Wenda, but he even directly praised him as unparalleled in the world.

Of course, no one would think so now.

"The apprentice was originally in Miao Lei's army, but he also made a little military merit. The young man always needs to be more experienced, and when he saw that the war was about to start here, he called him over. Wen Fei smiled faintly, with an indescribable sense of pride and pretence. Small, the god of the eternal army, shocked you dirt buns, aren't they ready to be caught?

Everyone paid attention to this young general named Yue Pengju, who didn't look very old, that is, fifteen or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked a little green, and smiled shyly at everyone, and took out his bow and arrow.

"Hiss......" Everyone who saw Yue Peng holding a bow and arrow couldn't help but gasp between their teeth. Nima, is this really a bow and arrow, not a bed crossbow?

Looking at the heavy bow and arrow in Yue Peng's hand, everyone was a little stupid, especially the thick-looking bowstring, which seemed to even have the roots of their teeth sour.

Yue Pengju not only opened the bow that was specially made, but even the arrow was also special, which made people's eyelids jump when they looked at it.

Before everyone could react, the iron tire bow had already been fully drawn, and there was a loud sound of collapse.

The arrow, with a whimpering cry, flew over the surface of the river more than a hundred meters, almost in a straight line. There is no taste of an arc like an ordinary bow and arrow, and it passes directly through the eyes of a proud biological girl on the opposite side, leaving only the carved feather outside.

Tremendous kinetic energy. Even more shot this strong armored Jurchen, who was probably more than 300 catties tall, and fell heavily on the ground three steps later.

At this moment, the people around were shocked that they couldn't make a cold hissing voice, and looked at Yue Pengju with ghost-like eyes, is grandma's still a human being?

"Whoosh, whoosh. Whoosh, whoosh, ......" The rain of arrows shot out one by one, and I saw the Jurchens on the other side flying out of the Lu one by one. They were named one by one.

In the blink of an eye, a pot of arrows on Yue Pengju's body was shot out, and there was no one left of the Jurchens who were originally shouting across the river. He who is not dead falls to the ground. It's just running away.

Under this terrifying incredible arm strength and archery. Even those who gave birth to the Jurchens were terrified. Don't look at their simple minds, they are not slow to flee for their lives.

......Seeing such a scene, all the Song soldiers who saw it shouted one after another, and their momentum was greatly boosted. On the contrary, it was the Jurchen on the other side, but he was lost and depressed.

In the era of cold weapons, this is often the case. Personal bravery can affect the morale of both sides in many cases.

"General's Divine Marksman......" Pharmacist Guo stammered. I couldn't say a word of the rest of the words, and my eyes were very strange.

Nima, how could there be such a divine shot in the world? If he was Yue Pengju's enemy, he would not dare to stand within 300 steps in front of him.

The faces of the others are not so much better, whether it is Zhang Jue or Xiao Gan, their faces are very exciting. Only those original generals of the Great Song Dynasty had a depressed wry smile on their faces, and they were basically all blown up by Yue Peng.

I think that at the beginning, Master Wen accepted Yue Pengju as a disciple. Han Shizhong was still a little unconvinced, and he tried to compete with Yue Pengju with the generals in the army, but he was abused by Yue Pengju and had no temper at all.

Wenda Heavenly Master Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, "Lao Huai is very relieved": "Ha Lu Ha, Peng Ju did a good job." Boost the morale of my army, and the pro-military battalion under my command will be under your leadership, and you will cut down the Jurchen banner for me later!"

Yue Peng smiled shyly, not impatient, and saluted with his fists: "Yes, Father Shang." The last general will certainly live up to his mission!"

At this point, I heard the Jurchen horn blowing, and they were actually preparing to attack.

Wen Fei smiled coldly, expecting that the Jurchens would not be able to resist attacking first. It can be said that every step of the Jurchens is now within the calculations of the Great Heavenly Master.

Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored.

The husband who does not fight and the temple is counted as the victor, and the person who does not fight and the temple is not victorious, it is counted as less. More wins and less calculations, and nothing counts! I look at it from this point of view, and I can see the difference between victory and defeat.

The temple counts, and the temple refers to the imperial court. Before the war, many things had already been prepared and grasped in the court.

For example, Wenda Heavenly Master, as early as the beginning of the war, already had a seventy or eighty percent chance of winning in his heart. For example, the Jurchen people mobilized these two or three hundred thousand troops, which seems to be quite a lot of people, and the momentum is huge.

But it is quite difficult to support the military rations of such a large army, no matter which side of the war.

Wen Fei's side is a little better, the Great Song Dynasty is rich, and it can supply a steady stream of baggage. Coupled with the newly occupied land of Liao, Youzhou and other places were relatively denser and richer, and it was easier to prepare military rations.

Therefore, the supply of military rations on the part of the Song army was far superior to that of the Jurchens.

On the other hand, the Tokyo Road in Liao is sparsely populated at this time, and almost all of the five capitals in Liao are at the bottom. With such a strength, it would be quite difficult to prepare grain and grass for an army of two or three hundred thousand.

Therefore, if the Jurchens are not stupid, they must find a way to fight a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty before the grain and grass are eaten, otherwise the army will collapse without a fight.

And just now, the Great Heavenly Master ordered Yue Peng to shoot those Jurchen warriors, but it was not just to let Yue Peng show off. It's for Liwei, for the sake of angering the Jurchens.

Now it seems that the Jurchens were indeed enraged by the success. Wen Fei was waiting for the Jurchens to take the initiative to attack.

He looked up at the sky, the sun was dim, and the murderous aura between the two armies was steaming. At this time, if any gods and Buddhas dare to break into it, they will only fall. It can be said that within a radius of hundreds of miles, there are ghosts and gods.

Reorganizing the troops and fighting is not a matter of a moment. Wen Fei calculated the time to see how powerful the Jurchen mobilization organization was!

The combat effectiveness of the army has been clearly stated in Sun Tzu's Art of War.

One is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. This so-called law is organizational power. That is, the law mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War, the bend system, the official way, and the main use.

It took more than three hours for the Jurchen army to mobilize all the troops and begin to prepare for a tentative attack.

From this point of view, it made the Great Heavenly Master of Wen greatly relieved. The Jurchens don't have to worry about it!

On the battlefield, it is never possible to defeat a small number of people by a large number of people, in fact, just look at the history to know the truth. Often, the kind of all-country war that loses is the side with the largest number of people.

Whether it is the battle of Guandu, the battle of Weishui, or the battle of the guard. The more troops there are, the more difficult it is to command, especially under the conditions of ancient techniques, hundreds of thousands of troops have to stretch for hundreds of miles, just by transmitting information, you can imagine how difficult it is.

From this point, it can be seen that China's organizational strength has been regressing since the Qin and Han dynasties.

And the organizational strength of the Jurchens is much worse than what Master Wen imagined. The Jurchen soldiers and horses reacted quite quickly, but the speed of the other vassal armies slowly increased.

The Jurchens had never organized a general battle with such a large number of people, and they had no experience.

"Wu Qimai is far inferior to Ah Guda!" Wen Fei said lightly: "If Ah Gu is beaten, I'm afraid I won't pin my hopes on those vassal troops." Many times one plus one does not equal two, or even less than one!"

No one fully understood what Master Wen said, everyone seemed to understand it, but the contempt for the Jurchens contained in the tone was heard one by one, and they couldn't help but feel more confident.

After tossing for so long, the Jurchens began to prepare for the attack, and it was not too early. The sun had already set, and it was about two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Jurchens began to send cavalry to cross the river, and the place where the Chinese armies of the two sides faced each other was the shallowest section of the Taizi River. Riding a horse, you can easily wade through the water.

In other areas, the Jurchens seem to have built several pontoon bridges and were ready to cross the river at that time. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Jurchens will send surprise soldiers, from unexpected places, and suddenly insert into the back of the Song army at a critical moment.

However, Master Wen didn't bother with these things at all. He didn't prepare any surprise soldiers. In the past, he was also full of romantic thoughts, thinking that war could be decided by some cleverness, but now Wenda Tianshi knows better that the victory or defeat of war is always determined by strength!

The Heavenly Master of Wenda wanted to use a dignified army and a righteous army to completely defeat the Jurchen offensive from the front. As long as this is the case, it will easily leave a psychological shadow in the minds of the Jurchens, so that they will be afraid of them like the Liao people, and they will be afraid when they see the banner of the Great Song Dynasty!

As for the strange soldiers that the Jurchens may or may not have, there are many variables in the battlefield. As long as there is enough reserve force, it is enough to prevent it.

The world will only remember those miracle soldiers who succeeded in creating miracles, but they have not forgotten that the miracle soldiers who have tens of hundreds of times more have failed and hit the iron plate headlong.

"Father Shang, everything is ready!" said a man who did not look amazing and smelled of gunpowder quickly.

Wen Fei heard this, and immediately said, "Let's go, go and have a look!"

As soon as he said this, the man suddenly became embarrassed and said, "That, it's not proper." After all, it's dangerous ......"

Wen Fei Ha Lu Ha Da smiled: "You are not afraid of dealing with those cannons every day, I just went over to take a look, what is terrible?" said and waved his hand: "That's it!" (To be continued......)
