Chapter 196 194. Cannon Offline (Integrated Chapter)

"court death!"

When the officers and soldiers saw that it was only a man in a long gown who came in, they immediately drew out the big knife at their waist in anger, and slashed at the man.

The man was relieved to see that Qiao'er on the bed was not humiliated even though her coat was torn off.

Seeing the officers and soldiers raising their knives, he kicked them calmly, and the toes hit the officers and soldiers' stomachs. Then, while the officers and soldiers bent down, he easily turned over and kicked the two officers and soldiers behind him to the ground at the same time. .

"Who are you!"

The officers and soldiers clutched their broken stomachs, looked at this man who seemed weak but actually had extraordinary martial arts, and shouted angrily: "We have called men to go to the battlefield long ago, you are so skilled, how dare you hide at home!
When we report to the adults, there are good fruits from your family to eat! "

"I am the head of the second class of the household house in the county government office. How can I hide the crime at home?"

The man raised a big knife on his toes, and held the blade with both hands. As his arms exerted strength, there was a crisp sound, and with a "snap", the blade in his hand was broken into several pieces and shattered. The three officers and soldiers were so frightened that they ran away in a hurry.

"roll!!"

The man let out a loud yell, and the three officers and soldiers didn't dare to say anything more. They ran out in cold sweat covering their stomachs that seemed to have been kicked to pieces.

"Big brother!"

At this time, Qiao'er had already packed her clothes, and looked up at her eldest brother in surprise.

"Military discipline is broken, and the whole city is in panic. I'm afraid Yan Shilang won't be able to survive for a few days."

The eldest brother watched the second brother crawl out from under the bed board: "If there are such officers and soldiers coming again, just kill them, what are you afraid of!"

Qiaoer said: "But this way we will be exposed..."

"We are Mr. Ren's people, even if we are exposed, as long as the city is not destroyed, then Yan Shilang and the magistrate will not do anything to us for the time being.

However, Le County is now in chaos. Today, a large amount of silver and the last grain in the granary have been transported out of the households. I think there are nine out of ten that Yan Shilang intends to reward the army. Let's fight to the death, the three of us have to make plans early..."

The eldest brother thought for a while and said: "Qiaoer, you should send a telegram first, sending our inference back to Qingshui County and telling the steward Alan that something will happen in Le County within a few days."

"it is good."

Qiaoer responded, took the radio from the second brother, connected to the mobile power supply, and "da da da" sent the telegram.

It was not until the evening that the telegram was sent back: "The telegram has been received, thank you for your hard work, everyone, pay attention to safety, hide yourself, and destroy the radio station if necessary."

The three looked at each other.

"Now Le County is surrounded by groups, it is difficult for us to break out, continue to lurk, and adapt to the situation."

Big Brother said.

"it is good."

The two nodded.

At this time, there was a chaotic shout from outside the courtyard, and the three of them rushed into the courtyard, only to see a burst of flames bursting into the sky not far away, and thick smoke billowing.

The city is going to be chaotic!
Qingshui County.

County government office.

Ren Pingsheng read the telegram sent by Le County.

"It seems that Le County can no longer support it."

Ren Pingsheng looked at Liu Qiang and said.

Liu Qiang nodded and said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first. Le County is short of food, I think this Yan Shilang has fallen into a passive position, even if he wants to fight desperately, he may not succeed.

We must be prepared for war. Once Le County falls, the entire Yuntai County, except Qingshui County, will fall into the hands of the Beiwan rebels. If they want to go south, they have to pass through Qingshui County. There is no compromise between the two sides. room. "

"That's right, who can't be greedy for the fertile land in the south? Once the south, Wuzhou and Hegu are captured, it will be the granary of the world.

Between one gain and one loss of Jing Chao, the general situation of the world is changing. "

Ren Pingsheng said with a sigh.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

The same is true for wars, but only for resources and interests. There are silver mines in Yinshan, and the rebels in Northern Anhui will come to fight Yinshan even if they cross mountains and mountains.There is food in the south, so it is naturally impossible for the northern Anhui rebels not to send troops south to take down this granary.

And the priceless and precious human lives in daily life are nothing more than a series of numbers in the face of war.

Liu Qiang asked: "Master, should we support Le County?"

Ren Pingsheng shook his head: "The main problem in Le County is food. Now, even if we send troops to attack the rebels in Northern Anhui and try to encircle Wei and save Zhao, we still cannot solve the problem of food shortage in Le County, and ultimately cannot change the situation of the war.

Forging iron still needs to be hard on our own. Only by cultivating our internal skills and strengthening our own strength can we respond to all changes with the same.

How are our regular soldiers and militia trained? "

Liu Qiang said: "Now there are more than [-] regular soldiers and more than [-] militiamen. There are also conscription points in Chengguan Town, Qingcheng Town, and various market towns to attract men of the right age to sign up for the army."

"Too little and too slow."

Ren Pingsheng also knew that with the size of Qingshui County, it was not easy to train these soldiers capable of fighting, but he still shook his head: "After the northern Anhui rebels took Le County, the next step must be to send troops south. Now, There is still more than a month until the severe cold arrives. If the rebels can take Le County in the next few days, we are likely to encounter the main army of the Beiwan rebels before the year.

This is not 3 or [-] people, but a combat force of more than [-] people. Our current manpower is too small. Even with the advantage of firearms, we still have great difficulties in blocking the enemy from Qingshui County.

Xiaowan, what is the current population of Qingshui County? "

Ren Pingsheng asked Xiao Wan.

"There are more than 7 registered people, some of whom are refugees from other places we have taken in, and less than 2 of them are of the right age to participate in militia training, and most of them have already participated in militia training.

In addition, there are still a large number of hermits hidden in the homes of the powerful gentry, and these people are difficult to count.When I was in Qingcheng Town before, according to the data of Minke’s sample survey, it was inferred that there were about 4 people in Qingshui County. "

Although Xiaowan has now resigned from the position of the Department of Civil Affairs, she still knows the data very well.

Especially now that she is still serving as the secretary of Ren Ping's life, a large amount of important information and data are still collected in her hands every day, and she usually uses computer office software to organize these data into tables, so that it can be used in the post of Ren Ping's life. Take it out to him whenever you need it.

"The gentry is powerful...sooner or later he will find an opportunity, and he still needs to cure these psoriasis."

Ren Pingsheng didn't have a good opinion of the powerful gentry. These people developed to the end of the Jing Dynasty, like leeches lying on a giant, relying on the nutrition of the country to feed themselves.But there were too many leeches, and the strong giant was sucked to pieces instead, and his life was not long.

"If you want to recruit troops now, it will take some time to form a combat force. The war a year ago may not be able to catch up. However, we still have a long-term plan. Before the middle of next year, I plan to build and maintain a standing regular army of more than 1 people , more than 5 militiamen.

When I went to Hongye Mountain, I saw that on the official road, there were still a large number of refugees who came here with their families, and some of them wanted to go to the south.

There are also some good seedlings who serve as soldiers.

On various official roads, increase conscription points.Promote the treatment of our Yuntai Wei Zhengbing.Even if these refugees cannot join the army, these people will take the news further afield, and maybe attract some young people to join the army in Qingshui County. "

Ren Pingsheng had some headaches about the source of troops.

Although the organization of Yuntaiwei is at the division level, it is now a brigade-level number of people.

If you want to be an excellent soldier, you must compare them in terms of age, health, strength, intelligence, discipline, etc.

And such a seemingly simple request is even more difficult for refugees.

It is still those good families who are more likely to meet these conditions.

All in all, Qingshui County is still too small.The so-called shallow bay can't support dragons, and the small territory and small population make it difficult to quickly mobilize troops.

Unless, like the northern Anhui rebels, they were as unscrupulous as they were, they coerced a large number of ordinary people into the battlefield.

This can increase the momentum, but it is a waste of food.Second, there is almost no military discipline, it is easy to harass the local area, and it is difficult to manage.Third, the combat power is insufficient, it is difficult to command, and it is okay to fight with the wind. Once it encounters a hard nut to crack, it will immediately collapse, bringing down the layout and rhythm of the battlefield.

For troops like Yuntaiwei who follow the elite route, there are only disadvantages and no advantages.

"My lord, good news!"

When Ren Pingsheng and Liu Qiang were frowning and thinking hard about how to recruit excellent soldiers, Liu Wen walked in excitedly.

"My lord, the trial-produced artillery made by Zaozao has succeeded."

As soon as Liu Wen came in, after greeting Liu Qiang, he excitedly reported to Ren Pingsheng.

"Really?"

When Liu Qiang heard this, he stood up immediately and asked excitedly: "Some time ago, didn't you say that the material was not up to standard? Why are you making it now?"

"Last month, Mr. Ruan applied for a piece of land outside the west gate of Qingcheng Town to build a blast furnace and produce steel.

After I heard about it, I immediately took someone to ask Mr. Ruan about the materials needed to make the gun barrel, as well as the ratio of the materials and the production method.

A few days ago, a suitable barrel was finally trial-produced. "

Liu Wen said a little shyly.

The successful production of this cannon is not due to the more than 900 people in Zaozao Bureau, but the Ruan Tang girl.

Others are crossing the river by feeling the stones, but Zaozao is crossing the river by feeling the sugar.

Ren Pingsheng didn't bother with these things.After all, he knew about Ruan Tang's abilities, and when he was busy during this time, he planned to go back to Qingcheng and have a good chat with Ruan Tang.

If it is said that the appearance of muskets freed human beings from the limitations of their own strength, they could use chemical energy far beyond physical strength.Completely freed from the limitations of physical strength, human beings have completely transcended the shackles of the food chain and become existences above all living beings.

The appearance of the artillery changed the form of human warfare, making it unrealistic to defend the city, and the form of warfare changed from siege warfare to field decisive battle. It can be said that it is the king of field warfare.

The artillery made by Zaozao Bureau is naturally not an ordinary cast iron cannon, but a real field artillery.

The emergence of this batch of artillery just solved the urgent need of the Yuntai Guard's lack of personnel and firepower.

He asked Liu Wen, "Where are these artillery now?"

"A total of 20 artillery pieces, I have already ordered people to pull them all to the foot of the Yunlong Mountain Test Site."

Liu Wen replied.

Ren Pingsheng raised his wrist and glanced at the time. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and now it was getting dark early, and it would be dark at about [-]:[-].

"Prepare the horse, let's go and have a look."

Ren Pingsheng gave an order.

When everyone walked out of the gate of the county government, the horses had already been brought here from the stables.

A group of people got on their horses one after another, and more than thirty riders galloped out of the city, heading towards Yunlong Mountain.

Compared to half a year ago, when Ren Pingsheng rode a horse to Tenglong Mountain to rescue Xiaowan, his riding skills have become very proficient.

Galloping their horses, when everyone arrived at the foot of Yunlong Mountain, it was already [-]:[-].

This is a small hill not far from Tenglong Mountain.

Yuntaiwei built a barracks and an arms testing ground here.

Soldiers from the Artillery Battalion also train here.

Here, Ren Pingsheng saw the artillery developed by the Manufacturing Bureau.

The cannon has two wheels, and the wheels are covered with rubber tires brought back by Ren Pingsheng. In the future, whether it is used by livestock or a tractor, it can be easily dragged to the battlefield.

The height reached Ren Pingsheng's chest, and the long muzzle pointed obliquely at the distant hillside.

The steel plate welded on the front can resist arrows, crossbows, muskets, etc. on the battlefield, and protect one's own artillery.

At this time, there are a total of twenty brand-new field guns placed in the test field, looking very mighty!

These artillery pieces are based on the Italian cannons in "Bright Sword", that is, the French 75mm towed field guns. They have the advantages of high maneuverability, fast rate of fire, high precision, and easy maintenance.

"Ready to test fire!"

After Ren Pingsheng sat down in the stands behind, a platoon leader of the artillery battalion came up to ask for instructions and got approval, then ran back to the artillery in small steps, and began to direct his men to carry out debugging.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion belong to the technical arms among the Yuntai Guards, and they all have a good foundation in mathematics, especially the gunners, aimers, aiming paddlers, etc., have all been trained and studied strictly, and have gone through a lot of training. Training has accumulated experience.

Every gunner is very precious.

"boom!"

As the gun barrel advanced and retreated, the muzzle spewed out fierce flames, like a giant dragon exhaling, and a shell had already been fired.

The distant hillside is about five kilometers away from the artillery testing ground.

Ren Pingsheng's eyesight is very strong, and he can catch the landing point of the artillery even without a telescope.

"Boom!"

The flower bomb exploded, and countless iron sheets were blown away.

A large number of wooden dummies arranged on the mountain to serve as the enemy were bombed to pieces!
However, the shell did not hit the target with a big "X" on the hillside, but the landing point was not far from the target, only a distance of [-] meters.

Under the command of the gunner, the aiming hand held a telescope for careful comparison, and the aiming pad hand adjusted the angle of the artillery, aiming at the target and firing the second shell.

This happened several times, when the fourth shell was fired, there was finally a "bang", and with the flames of the shell explosion, the simple hut on the "X" was instantly destroyed.

　These two days are a little shorter.

　　Because I am saving the manuscript, I always feel that I have no idea if I don’t save the manuscript.

　　Save a little draft, and the length will be restored immediately. (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
