Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 642

Yue Fei finally appeased the morale of the Shan Haijun and Hejian Army. It was very difficult for the soldiers who were eager to try to keep them standing still.

At this time, the military discipline that Yue Fei had always emphasized had finally played an important role.

The army of the Song Dynasty trained on time, maintained the intensity of combat readiness, and waited for the official's order to attack at any time!

But Yue Fei waited for four days, but he did not wait for the king's order to attack, but he waited for a series of ox carts, which slowly came to the front line of Liaoyang from Lizhou.

Looking at the bullock cart covered with heavy canvas, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong glanced at each other, what is this?
When the bullock cart arrived at the logistics, Yue Fei finally pulled the cloth away and saw what was covered under the heavy linen cloth.

24 cannons!

Chen Gui looked at Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's puzzled looks, and said: "Good thing, when you use it tomorrow, you will know how powerful this thing is."

He smiled and stroked the Shenwei Zhenyuan Cannon and said: "The government gave a time-delayed wooden fuze back then. Unfortunately, it is still an iron bomb now, and the Guangbei Siege Operation is still researching the explosive bomb that can explode."

He came with the army to collect data, and then gave Da Song Guangbei siege suggestions for improvement. Now some of Da Song's equipment can no longer be understood by everyone, and professionals need to follow.

And he is a professional in charge of cannon.

Han Shizhong looked at the copper cannon and said eagerly, "I said so much, and after waiting for four or five days, I just waited for such a copper lump? Your old practice is to speak, whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk. No wait Try it now."

Chen Gui looked at the impatient Han Shizhong and said, "Don't be impatient, General Han. I brought something new to the large-scale project trebuchet this time. It's called Zhentianlei! It's gunpowder. The transportation can't be bumpy, and it's going slowly. A little. Let's wait a few hours."

When Hong Tianlei arrived, Yue Fei looked at the gunpowder bag in front of him and asked suspiciously, "How do you use this thing?"

Chen Gui pointed to the wooden plate fuze and said: "The government gave the time-delayed wooden plate fuze back then. You can adjust the detonation time by turning it around. When you use it, light the fuze and throw it with a trebuchet."

Chen Gui sat in front of the table, and on the table was a gunpowder bag half the height of a person. Such a piece weighed about 150 kilograms, which happened to be within the tolerance range of a heavy-duty trebuchet.

"Fireworks?" Han Shizhong poked the gunpowder bag with his finger and asked.

The terrifying number of bombings of the Tribulus cannon and the slightly weak power of the gunpowder are really a bit childish for military use.

But this also allowed Han Shizhong to use the Tribulus Cannon as a firework offensive.

In Han Shizhong's view, there are no waste weapons and equipment, only waste generals.

Han Shizhong always believed that as long as the emperor was willing to give military rations, armor and weapons, and horses, he would be able to win one victory after another for the officials!

It's useless to fix so many bells and whistles.

As for soldiers killed in battle and shrouded in horse leather, isn't that the fate of soldiers?
To join the army is to put your head on your trouser belt. If you do well against the enemy, you will be promoted to a rank. If you don't do well, you will be killed by the enemy.

But when it comes to officials, they always make these new inventions.

"Try now?" Yue Fei looked at the huge gunpowder bag, but he didn't dare to poke it with his finger recklessly like Han Shizhong.

No matter how useless the Tribulus cannon is, when there is no armor, it will be exploded by that thing once, and the whole body will be covered with iron pieces.

How many golden men were killed by iron sheets in Tiandezhou?No A will die if he touches the Tribulus Cannon.

Hundreds of pieces of iron are buried in the medicine bag of the tribulus cannon, which cannot kill people, but the iron pieces can stab people to death.

This thing is so tightly packed, and its weight is much heavier than that of a caltrop cannon, he is not willing to try this thing.

Yue Fei is a person who will do what he says, and he will try it immediately.

At this time, it was approaching dusk, and there was still a rainbow hanging on the sky after it had just rained. The sun was exerting its last remaining heat on the sky, and continued to scorch the earth. It became sultry and disturbing.

The ground after the rain was not muddy, because this kind of thunderstorm came and went quickly, and there was not much rainwater accumulated on the ground.

A heavy trebuchet was pushed from the barracks to the front line by the soldiers, and placed at the end of the two thousand paces.

At this time, Du Chong was patrolling the city. Although he had entrusted Chen Ang to send his surrender certificate to Yue Fei's army, he had never received a reply, and he knew that most likely he would die.

"Snacks while on duty! After a while, a arrow will shoot you and your sleepy bug through!" Du Chong kicked a sleeping Khitan soldier, who actually fell asleep while on duty.

When he walked to the west city wall, Du Chong saw the soldiers surrounding the city wall, so he was so angry. Why didn't he see them so lively when he was on duty?

"What do you think Song Jun and the others are here for? Are you throwing stones two thousand steps away?"

"Let me say that Song Jun was scared. You see, they didn't dare to approach even two thousand steps."

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable! The soldiers who ran away from the broken camp last time were intercepted and killed by them, but they must have suffered heavy losses. After seeing how powerful we are, otherwise, there will be no movement at all in the past three to five days?"

"That's right, the cowardly Song people! Hahaha!"

……

The soldiers at the top of the city looked at the heavy trebuchet in the distance talking and laughing, laughing and discussing, what if they just threw it over, it just smashed a few battlements, and it would be fine to repair it overnight.

"Go back to duty! In case the Song army sneak attack, do you still have dog lives!" Du Chong roared angrily, and the soldiers scattered like birds and beasts and left the Wufeng Building on the west city wall.

Seeing that the Song army had no intention of attacking in the slightest, Du Chong looked at the trebuchet with some frustration, but for his own safety, he left the west city wall at the fastest speed. will die!
When Du Chong left the west city wall, he saw that the trebuchet was still loading something and hadn't fired.

"What the hell are you doing?" Du Chong asked suspiciously, continuing to inspect the city defense.

Han Shizhong looked at Chen Gui who was seriously calculating, although he was very anxious, he could only wait.

Chen Gui gesticulated for a long time on a relatively complicated binoculars, and said: "The wind speed is three, the southeast wind, two thousand and one hundred steps, four turns to the left, the inclination angle is forty, and the delay is fifteen breaths. Now let's adjust."

Yue Fei pointed to the binoculars and said, "What is this?"

"The rangefinder, the calculation is more complicated now. After a while, the algorithm will be simplified, and the watch will be ready to be installed. This is the wind direction and anemometer, which are accessories for the Shenwei cannon and the trebuchet. General Yue does not want it. Impatient." Chen Gui pointed to the binoculars and said.

"Then can we ignite and launch now?" Han Shizhong looked at Chen Gui and asked impatiently.

These scholars are like this, doing a lot of nagging!

"Ignite the fire and throw it." Chen Gui nodded, looked at the tuned Hong Tianlei confidently and said: "The power will not let you down."

The four people who stepped on the trebuchet slowly raised the boulder as the counterweight of the trebuchet, while the projectile rod slowly lowered, and the iron and wood materials creaked and creaked.

Chen Gui ignited the wooden fuze with a delay of [-] breaths with a torch, and shouted loudly: "Let it go!"
