All guns fired

Author: An Huajun

All guns fired

When Wang Xiaolie was preparing to go to Shizhou, the Song army finally practiced artillery proficiency. On this day, Yang Yizhong ordered his artillerymen to prepare carefully and respectfully invited Zhao Gou to observe the troops in person. This was Zhao Gou's order, so naturally

Full of agreement.

On the second day, Zhao Gouchi drove out of Jiahui Gate and led all the ministers to the place where martial arts were performed.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses on both sides were brightly armored and majestic, Zhao Gou smiled and said: "The Chinese army's soldiers and horses are so elite that they cannot be compared with those before. General Yang has been in charge, and it has been really hard these days. Today's artillery drills are very skilled, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Northern Army!”

Yang Yizhong bowed and said he didn't dare.

Zhao Gou climbed up to the high platform and stared. He saw three artillery positions in front, each with ten artillery pieces. The gunners stood behind the artillery pieces, and there were red-hot iron bars in the brazier next to them. In front of them,

It is a military formation imitating the enemy's army. The military formation is composed of rough-looking wooden figures. There are about a thousand people, like thousands of troops. No one speaks, and it looks solemn and desolate.

After watching it for a while, Zhao Gou said: "People often say that a cannon fired is like thunder, and jade and stone tools are burned. I have seen artillery fire a few days ago, and the power is really amazing. It's just how it is used in the battle formation. I haven't seen it in my heart.

No idea. Today I learned a trick from Wang Xiaolie’s army, using wooden figures to imitate military formations to see how powerful it is. Speaking of which, Wang Xiaolie has a lot of ingenious ideas.”

Zhang Jun on the side said: "He certainly has many clever ideas and often wins in battles. But he has never fought against the Jin army, so I don't know what he is really like."

Lu Yihao on the side said: "In the battle of Shaanzhou, we killed more than 20,000 golden soldiers, which can be regarded as a great victory."

Zhao Goudao said: "Let's try it today to see how the artillery is. If it's really like what we said, we'll make plans again."

Xu Fu cupped his hands and said: "Artillery is a weapon for military strategists. It is a gift from heaven to your majesty! If it is as powerful as it says, we should unite our troops and go north to regain the mountains and rivers!"

Zhao Gou nodded silently without speaking. He said to Yang Yizhong behind him: "Let's test the cannon."

Yang Yizhong nodded. He took a big step to the side and forward, picked up the flag beside him, and waved it violently. He said sternly: "His Majesty's decree, test the cannon!"

Below, Li Cheng wore a helmet and a solemn expression. He saw the flag waving, raised the small flag in his hand, and glanced at the sun rising in the sky in the east. He was captured outside Zhongmou City that day, and he was convinced of the defeat. He had nothing to say.

, that battle was clean and tidy, and he didn’t have any chance. But he lost because he had never seen artillery before. He didn’t know that this thing was so powerful, and he was really unwilling. Fortunately, Zhao Gou cherished talents and gave it to him after hesitation.

If there is an opportunity, let him join the army and perform meritorious service. He will be placed under Yang Yizhong and let himself be in charge of the artillery.

In that battle that year, his leg was broken by an artillery piece at the beginning, which made Li Cheng unforgettable. Now that he is in charge of the artillery, of course he puts all his efforts into it. The usage experience and operation booklet passed down from Wang Xiaolie,

Li Chengdu was familiar with it and made some improvements based on his own experience in the army. Now Li Cheng felt that Wang Xiaoxue's army would not be able to use it better than him.

Turning his head, taking a deep breath, Li Cheng shouted: "Fire!"

The small flag in his hand was waved heavily.

As soon as the flag fell, all the gunners took out the red-hot iron bars from the brazier and lit the letters.

Zhang Jundao: "Artillery is called artillery because it requires fire to fire. After lighting the medicine with fire and twisting it, the fire was introduced into the medicine room. Suddenly -"

Before he finished speaking, a series of earth-shaking noises came. Black smoke came out of the muzzle, and the artillery shells flew out of the barrel. They hit the wooden army formation in front. The minister on the stage could even see the trajectory of the cannonballs, and felt uncomfortable.

Too fast.

The cannonballs hit the wooden man like claws chopping vegetables, smashing several pieces of wood before stopping.

The gunner behind the gun position below quickly cleaned the gun barrel, reloaded the gunpowder, and loaded the shells. Everything was in order. In just a few breaths, the gunner was ready and reloaded the gun.

Li Cheng below waved his flag fiercely and shouted for gunfire again.

Zhao Gou was so frightened by the scene just now that his legs were shaking and he almost couldn't stand. However, he pretended to be calm and silently looked at Li Cheng below.

Li Cheng gave the order and the gunner fired again.

The cannonballs still hit the military formation. Although the effect was a little worse than the first time, they still knocked down many of the remaining wooden figures from last time, and they immediately penetrated the military formation.

Some ministers were frightened by the momentum of the artillery, their faces turned pale, and their legs trembled. But Zhao Gou stood there, and no one dared to shout.

Following Li Cheng's order, the third round of cannons was fired. After this time the cannonballs passed by the military formation, almost all the wooden men in front fell down. Only a few who had not been hit by the cannonballs stood there, feeling quite desolate.

After the third round of artillery was fired, Li Cheng put away the small flag and crossed his hands below to salute.

Zhao Gou was shocked for a long time. When he came to his senses, he slammed the railing: "With such a magical weapon in the army, why should we be afraid of the Northerners!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers congratulated him one after another.

Lu Yihao's chest was filled with excitement, and he raised his hands and said to Zhao Gou: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! For obtaining such a magical weapon, everything will be in vain! We will go north together with the other armies to regain our homeland!"

Zhao Gou nodded and quickly walked down from the stage. He came to Li Cheng and said to him: "The gunners you trained are very good, very good! If there are such artillery, everything on the opposite side will be like clay, so why be afraid!"

"

Li Cheng crossed his hands: "It all depends on the divine power of the Holy One!"

Zhao Gou looked at Li Cheng, nodded heavily, and walked quickly towards the wooden army formation.

Li Cheng was startled, and hurriedly handed the flag in his hand to the soldiers to put it away, and stayed with Zhao Gou himself.

When other ministers saw that Zhao Gou had gone to the military formation, they hurriedly followed him. Many people's legs were still shaking, and many of them fell down.

Arriving in front of the military formation, Zhao Gou looked at the wooden figures who fell to the ground. The wooden figures were all made of solid wood and were shattered by cannonballs, with sawdust everywhere. Zhao Gou even bent down, picked up the sawdust, and squeezed it in his hand.

Lu Yihao stood behind Zhao Gou, looked at the wooden figures lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Such a magical weapon has never been seen before! Even the Eight Bull Crossbow is far from such power! Your Majesty, the country has such

Divine weapon, why fear the golden man in the north!"

Zhao Gou nodded: "Yes, with such a magical weapon, why should we be afraid of the Jin people? When the two armies set up their positions, as long as they set up their military formations, the Jin army would have nothing but death! It's ridiculous that Qin Hui was the prime minister a few days ago, and he said that there was

What is the strategy to secure the country? When I asked him, he said that the southerners should return to the south and the northerners should return to the north. Since I am a northerner, should I also give it to the Jin people or Liu Yu? It’s ridiculous. Zhang Jun will come back in a few days and he will be the one to serve.

Army, march to the Northern Expedition!"

At this time, Zhao Gou was high-spirited and looked extremely powerful. Yes, with weapons like artillery, what could the Jin army have to fear?

After the artillery was transported to Hangzhou, Zhao Gou took a look at it, and he had the idea of ​​​​maintaining the battle. A few days ago, Qin Hui changed the situation, and Qin Hui watched the palace, and asked Zhang Jun from Sichuan to come back. Now he saw that the artillery was so sharp, and he had the idea of ​​​​maintaining the battle.

It's heavier.
