Iron gun Yang Tiexin

In the first year of Jingkang, Jin soldiers went south and besieged Bianliang.

At that time, Song Prime Minister Li Gang led the crowd to defend the city, and for the first time sacrificed the secret weapon of the Song army, the Thunderbolt Cannon, and repelled the Jin soldiers with this.

It is a pity that Zhao Huan, Emperor Qinzong at the time, insisted on a peace negotiation in order to keep the throne.

It turned out that when the Jin soldiers attacked Bianliang, the emperor at that time was Zhao Huan's father, His Majesty Huizong Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji saw that the Jin soldiers had reached the capital, and that the collapse of the Song Dynasty was imminent, so he thought, even if the country was destroyed, he could not let the Song Dynasty perish in his hands. After all, the name of the king of subjugation is really not good.

Therefore, Zhao Ji urgently passed the throne to Prince Zhao Huan.

When Zhao Huan became emperor, he sat on the dragon chair crying.

After all, Zhao Huan is not stupid, he knows what Da Song is going through right now.

But after only a few days of being the emperor, Zhao Huan suddenly discovered that the feeling of being an emperor is so wonderful, much more nourishing than being a prince!

At least, there are many more wives!And you don't have to worry about being dethroned every day.

Even so, Zhao Huan still has a hidden worry, that is, his father, Zhao Ji, the former His Majesty Huizong, is still alive!

If Li Gangzhen led the army to beat the golden man to the ground, and the Great Song Dynasty was no longer worried about the country's subjugation, then what would happen if his father Zhao Ji jumped out to fight for the throne with him again?

After all, I belong to the generation of sons, even if I become the emperor, he is still Zhao Ji's son!

If you don't listen to your father, you will lose points in righteousness!If there is someone with a heart to fan the flames, maybe my throne will be unstable!

As a son, once he loses the throne, Zhao Huan knows very well that what awaits him will definitely not end well!

Think about it again and again.Zhao Huan felt that the threat of the Kingdom of Jin could never be removed!You must use this to stop your father's idea of ​​returning to the arena!

Therefore, Zhao Huanna resolutely pursued the policy of non-resistance, and did not hesitate to make various concessions that humiliated the country and humiliated the country.

In addition to land cession and compensation, there is the most excessive.That's all for Li Gang's face, the leader of the main combat faction, and the gunner who fired the cannon and killed the Jin soldiers was shown to the public, in order to warn the Song army that the Jin people must not offend them!

Ordinarily, if the pig-headed emperor Zhao Huan did this, the Song Dynasty should have perished long ago!

But at this critical moment, Xiaozhong's businessman (in fact, he was very old at this time), Zhong Shidao, led one hundred thousand Western troops back to help.

The Western Army is the only remaining elite in the Song Dynasty, fighting against Xixia all the year round.The fighting power is no worse than Jin Bing.

After several fights, the Jin army did not take advantage of the slightest advantage. Knowing that they could not break through Bianliang City, they asked the soft emperor Zhao Huan for a lot of benefits and then withdrew.

But within a few months, in the autumn of that year, the Jin army made a comeback again and attacked the city of Bianliang in one fell swoop.

It turned out that the siege of the golden soldiers was resolved.The pig-headed emperor Zhao Huan demoted Li Gang, the main combatant prime minister, for the second time and drove him out of the capital.

Although Xiaozhong's manager, Gongzhong, and his way of teaching have made great achievements in resolving the siege.But then he was stripped of his military power.This kind of teacher was already seriously ill, so he was pissed off by Zhao Huan's pig-headed behavior, and he died of depression not long after.

The generals who fought in the main battle died and were demoted, and all the people in the court, including Zhao Huan, were left with the main peace faction.

As for the minions below.Also because the artillerymen were killed earlier, no one dared to stand up and resist.

As a result, not surprisingly, the Jin soldiers broke Bianliang City not long after they went south this time, and captured Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong.

This is it.The shame of Jingkang.

The battle of Jingkang, for the Kingdom of Jin, the biggest gain was not the capture of the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, nor the looting of the Treasury of the Song Dynasty, but the capture of the two major weapon workshops in the north and south of Bianliang City.

Since then, the Kingdom of Jin has entered the age of firearms from the semi-lithic and semi-iron age in one fell swoop.

After decades of development, Jin Bing's firearms have become relatively mature, and the equipment basically includes all types of firearms in the Song Dynasty, including more than ten varieties such as flying muskets, rockets, and thunderbolt fireballs.

However, although Jin Ting inherited the firearms of the Song Dynasty, it can be said that there are almost no innovations.

For example, the thunderbolt fireball (equivalent to artillery) in the Song Dynasty was a heavy weapon used to defend the city, and after it was built by Jin Ting, it also defeated it at the top of the city.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Wan Yanliang, the gold master, personally led a 17 Jin army on the waterway to attack the Song Dynasty in the south.

At this time, Yu Yunwen, who supervised the military staff of the Mafu of the Jianghuai Army, was rewarding the army at the quarry, but the real commander of the three armies, Li Xianzong, had not yet arrived, and there were only a group of stragglers near the quarry without the right of ownership.

Yu Yunwen was ordered in the face of danger, and improvised a motley army of [-], and fought a decisive battle in the quarry with the Jin army, which was nearly ten times the number of his own.

Although Yu Yunwen is a man of culture, his skills are beyond doubt.

First of all, he flicked a group of stragglers under his command until their blood boiled, giving birth to the belief of fighting to the death.Afterwards, Yu Yunwen sacrificed another weapon and loaded the artillery on the loach warship!

It's just that due to hasty preparations, these artillery are far less powerful than the thunderbolt fireballs defending the city!

But Yu Yunwen has a lot of ghost ideas and not enough gunpowder, so let's use lime to make up the number.

After changing the iron-shelled shells that should have been filled with pure gunpowder into half-lime, half-gunpowder iron-shelled shells, this thing was tested on the battlefield, and it turned out to be amazingly powerful. As soon as Pu came out, he beat Jin Jun to shame.

In this way, with less than 17 naval forces, Yu Yunwen defeated the entire [-] Jin army on the Yangtze River.This is also the first time in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty that the Jin army was defeated and crossed the river.

In this battle, the Jin army had an absolute superiority in strength but was defeated. In the end, even the gold master Wan Yanliang was killed because his subordinates were dissatisfied with launching a coup.

However, this battle also taught the Jinren some experience and lessons, that is, the artillery used to defend the city can still be moved to the boat to play!

Since then, Jin Ting has also begun to learn how to behave, and has become much more flexible in the use of firearms.

On the contrary, Song Ting, the guy who used firearms at the beginning, became ignorant of many firearm technologies due to the occupation of workshops and the loss of craftsmen.

In addition, since Zhao Gou, the successive emperors of the small courts of the Southern Song Dynasty have devoted themselves to serving as slaves to Jin Ting, and they have no intention of preparing armies, let alone spending a lot of money and making great efforts on weapons research and development!

As a result, decades have passed, and the level of firearms in the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty has not only not improved, but has dropped a little.

But there is no doubt that firearms such as guns and artillery are not rare in the Southern Song Army, especially the Forbidden Army!

This time, Xue Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, personally led the forbidden army to Hangzhou, and naturally there was also a firearms battalion accompanying him.

It's just that because Xue is extremely ignorant of military affairs, he didn't think of this killer weapon at first!

Now that Xue Ji was in a hurry, he began to bully the soldiers under his command. Under Xue Ji's strong pressure, some people naturally thought of firearms as a big killer.

Hearing the words, Xue Ji felt as if he had found a treasure, so he immediately ordered people to go to the supply camp to allocate all the firearms, and prepared the guns overnight, preparing to show the Hangzhou defenders a good look tomorrow morning!

Xue Ji couldn't help but get carried away with self-confidence that he was sure of everything, and he didn't even think about keeping a low profile.

The sound of the Song army's tossing overnight immediately aroused the vigilance of the Hangzhou city defenders, and someone immediately reported the situation to Yang Tiexin.

"Is there any movement in the Song army camp? It seems that there are large-scale people busy all night?"

"What the hell are these guys trying to do?"

Yang Tiexin couldn't help being puzzled when he heard the news, so he quickly sent the most elite special warfare elites to sneak into the Song Army's camp to investigate.

Yang Tiexin was not kept waiting for a long time. Just after midnight, the special forces sent back news that the Song army was packing up the guns. Judging from the situation, it seemed that they were planning to use their firearms to bully the Yingzhou army.

"Yo ho? You're talented! You're even playing high-tech with me!"

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

Immediately, Yang Tiexin ordered people to dismantle half of the artillery of the Yingzhou Navy, and then put them all on the city wall.

It didn't take long for Yang Tiexin's preparations to be completed, the sky had already started to brighten, and the Song Army camp on the opposite side also started to raise smoke.

When the red sun rose in the east, Xue Ji led the army out again!

This time, Xue Ji spent all his money and brought out an army of [-] in one go, leaving only [-] behind to guard the supplies.

Self-consciously, he should be really sure. Xue Ji's appearance this time can be said to be full of pomp. Just to protect his own Chinese army, Xue Ji brought a full 2 people, and in addition, he also followed [-] troops as the third route. Total Yuan Army.

In front is the siege army divided into three groups: left, middle and right, each with [-] troops.

After setting up the formation, Xue Ji still followed the old routine and sent people to the city of Hangzhou to persuade him to surrender.

Not surprisingly, Xue Ji's kindness still did not get a response from the Hangzhou Army.

Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, Xue Ji waved his hand and began to direct the firearms battalion to move forward, intending to show the real power of Song Dynasty firearms to those bumpkins in Hangzhou Chengtou.

While he was proud, Xue Ji didn't notice that many of the first Yingzhou troops at the head of Hangzhou city were observing something nervously and orderly, and reported a series of parameters to the lower ones from time to time.

Consciously, he has done the courtesy first and then the soldiers, but Xue Ji is not polite.Directly ordered the firearms battalion to move forward.

Under the protection of tens of thousands of Song troops, a total of eight thunderbolt guns were forcibly dragged towards the city of Hangzhou by dozens of horses.

This is also something that can't be helped. At the beginning of the Song Army's artillery manufacturing, it was for defending the city, not for attacking the city!

Therefore, the tonnage of this artillery is huge, and there are no wheels on the gun mount, what a fool!

What's more, the artillery fire of the Song Army has a limited range, less than two miles.

With such a range, if the artillery is not pushed to the forefront, it may be difficult to hit even the city wall, let alone bring out the true power of this artillery!

Under the escort of the Song Army, the eight cannons were finally pulled to a position about one mile away from the city wall of Hangzhou.

Then, the sergeants of the firearms battalion began to be busy unloading, swinging, calibrating the muzzle, and loading gunpowder shells.

Before these Song soldiers were ready to stop, on the opposite side of Hangzhou City, a series of red flags on several arrow towers waved continuously, and immediately there was a thunderstorm that shook the ground and shook the mountains. (to be continued..)
