Sweep the World

Chapter 646: : I'm not convinced

Ran Min led his army out of Xiang, and it took nearly twenty days to arrive in Dingxiang.

They traveled five hundred miles for nearly twenty days. The artillery and the corresponding baggage in the team slowed down the march. If it were all five hundred miles for the cavalry, it would only take four or five days. The time it took for the infantry might be It is shorter than the cavalry.

It's not that the cavalry will march faster than the infantry. It depends on what kind of road it is. It is not easy to take care of the horses of the cavalry.

In fact, war horses have always been very delicate, and they have to stop and feed regularly, and they have to be given enough rest time, and they even need to be washed and massaged.

People can carry on non-stop day and night marches if they have to bear it. The big deal is to cultivate after the war, but the horses really have to go on non-stop day and night rushing, but it will really be abandoned.

Li Tan, who had long known that Ran Min would come, was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

As General Zhengbei, Li Tan felt that he was a sad existence, as if he had been in the shadow of Ran Min.

The last time the North Shogunate was in charge of the battle for Sizhou, Ran Min got involved in the middle of the battle. Later in the battle for Binzhou and Shuozhou, Ran Min was led by him. It was clearly the job that the General Zhengbei should do, but he was always ran by him every time. Min took over.

This time, Li Tan led his army to block the last remnants of the Jie clan in Dingxiang City, and at the final harvest stage, Ran Min came again.

"Come on, don't cry and laugh to the uncle." Ran Min didn't care when he saw Li Tan didn't hide his depression. On the contrary, he started to like Li Tan a little bit. He said: "Xu Zheng has given all his merits, he has to be named a marquis, and an official pays homage to a lieutenant, but he has to stay in the center all the time. You can't live a life like that?"

As a military commander, if you can't lead your army on the battlefield, stay away from your familiar soldiers, and no longer see blood rushing, you don't smell the smell of corpses, and you can only be buried in the corpse all day long. What a lifeless thing?

"You're right, but..." Li Tan really smiled, but he was a little reluctant: "But whoever is like this will be depressed, right?"

Ran Min waved his hand: "Take this general to take a look."

The Han army besieging Dingxiang, the camp was built around Dingxiang. Before the camp facing Dingxiang, trenches were dug. Looking at the width of the trenches, the width of the trenches should be about one foot, and the depth is about one foot.

"Those are horse traps?" Ran Min pointed to the dense black spots in front of the trenches: "The number is really huge!"

"Why didn't you have nothing to do before?" Li Tan felt even more depressed when he thought of this: "After being surrounded for nearly two years, no matter how he provoked the enemy before, he didn't come out, so he could only dig trenches and then dig pits."

In order to besie Dingxiang, Li Tan failed to take part in the recovery of Bingzhou and Shuozhou. The subsequent battles on the grassland and the battle of Yandi were nothing to do with him. In the past, there were some who could finally bury the most elite troops of the Jie people. This came from me. Consolation, Ran Min came over and snatched everything away.

Ran Min came to the side of the trench to watch, only to see the water in the trench, and asked: "The enemy has repeatedly broken through the siege, failed to attack to the last line of defense?"

"The three standing armies equipped with stone throwing carts, bed crossbows, crossbows, crossbows and other sharp weapons are not furnishings." Li Tan calmed his mind and pointed to the distance: "With such a defensive chain, how to attack?"

Ran Min was really annoyed by Li Tan, but he was still heartless. He strolled around the front line and took Li Tan to watch the bronze cannon he had brought.

"This..." Li Tan looked at the thick and long bronze cannon on the wheel base, and asked, "This is a cannon that can hit three or four miles away?"

The original one mile was the modern 300 meters, but Liu Yan modified it and changed it to 500 meters per mile.

In fact, Liu Yan not only modified the mileage, but also referred to the unified measurement of the Qin Empire, and standardized and unified all modern length units. The military was the first to fully implement it.

The importance of measurement is unparalleled. Any science and technology exhibition is above mathematics. What is the mathematics of the confusion of measurement.

In order to re-regulate the measurement, Liu Yan did not spend less time and effort, repeatedly confirming to come up with the scale, only with the original to promote. He was the first to roll out a new measurement in the military, considering that the era of firearms has come, but it can’t be the same as before.

How was it before? The smallest unit of length is inch, and then the ruler. Above the ruler is zhang, there is a quotation above the metre, and the above is li.

The unit of length in each dynasty may be called by that name, but the actual length has always changed. In terms of length units, the Qin Empire had been unified, but after the Qin Empire, it was chaotic. The central government has its own measurement, and each place has its own measurement. It's not just a unit of length, but the weight is also the same. The feudal dynasties after Qin have never been unified.

The reason why Qin was able to ensure that the measurement was not chaotic was the strict support of Qin Fa. Although the subsequent dynasties and dynasties have their own laws, they are really not enforceable with the strength of Qin, and then there are various counts that are not uniform to facilitate corruption at all levels.

With the advancement of the times, especially the advancement of military equipment, the smallest unit of length really cannot be an inch. Take the manufacturing of bronze guns, the difference between one inch and one millimeter of the barrel is the difference between the world, and the manufacturing of projectiles is also the same. In this way, products with higher technical content cannot tolerate too much error.

"The projectile fired by this gadget is about eleven catties, with a caliber of 120 millimeters." Ran Min patted the twelve-pounder gun with his gun jacket removed: "This gadget has brought thirty pieces."

Li Tanxian's world has become a little puzzled for him. Jin and millimeters have been specially studied, but he has never heard the word "caliber".

Ran Min walked up to the muzzle and made gestures to introduce what caliber is. Then he flaunted the news that he had just learned: "In addition to the caliber 120 mm, there are also 83 mm, 94 mm, and 100 mm. Of various caliber models."

Didn't Li Tan stay in Dingxiang all the time? I have heard of Firearms troops, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. There is only one feeling after Ran Min's show off, and that is: It's really a bit out of the progress of the times.

The Han army has new troops coming in, and the enemy troops trapped in Dingxiang city soon learned that they only saw about a thousand Han troops and didn’t take it seriously. They were worried about whether there would be any. The new Han army came in reinforcements.

"Your Majesty will go back and leave me waiting to be killed." Zhang Haozhu is Shihu's original Si Yu, he is exactly a group of people who are looking at the same unfortunate group with the expression of dead aunts and mothers:" It's also difficult, what shall we do?"

Shihu is dead? He was indeed dead, or was killed by his own sons.

The kingdom of Shi Jie Zhao collapsed, and the kings with military power in his hand either died in battle or flew away. Some of Shihu's younger sons who were not kings were left by their side.

Dingxiang has been besieged by the Han army, and there is no news from the outside world at all. They have not broken through because of Shihu on the one hand, and some illusions on the other.

If it weren’t for real life, anyone who believed that a huge country would collapse so easily would hold hope because they didn’t believe it, and wait for someone to come and relieve the siege. They waited for two years. Before, there were half-dead stone tigers. Under pressure, Shihu's death can be regarded as liberation.

It’s not that Shi Hu never killed his own son. His sons didn’t want to kill him. After several sons in Dingxiang killed him, no one wanted to do anything to become the throne. Become the ultimate backer. After all, is it really different for the king after his defeat?

"What else?" Zhu Gui's expression was so gloomy, he lowered his head and said, "I can only seek to break through."

Zhu Gui was Shihu's prestigious book when he was in office. The official position was much higher than that of Zhang Haozhu, but now it is useless to talk about the official position. It is about who has the most influence on the Dragon Guardian.

"Although helpless..." Zhang Yin said fiercely: "It can only be accomplished in one battle."

Again, they were trapped in Dingxiang for two years. There is really no news from the outside world. Most people think that the worst situation is that the princes who are outside are still defending and resisting. Da Zhao has not yet died. , How can I find a place to roost if I break out.

Before Shi Hu died, he divided the Dragon Guardian into several parts, and Zhang Yan obtained one-third of the command. After Shi Hu died, everyone did not faint and engage in civil turmoil. Several generals who had the power to command the Dragon Guardian were able to preserve their power, but they didn't feel so happy.

"This is the only way." Zhu Gui's final version: "If the enemy can have a thousand reinforcements, they can increase more troops. It can't be delayed."

In Dingxiang at this time, within two years, most of the city walls had gaps in every place, and Miyagi was the only city that remained intact.

Before the plague exploded in Dingxiang City, the Han army did not dare to enter at will. After at least half a year from the plague explosion, they would never enter the city without stepping into it.

"Since they dared to come out of the palace, the epidemic should have ended." Ran Min didn't want to delay too much time here, and called the crowd to discuss: "Is there any possibility for the enemy in the city to break through, and if there is no plan, take the initiative to attack." "

Li Tan once again became Te Ma's deputy, saying that he was not in the mood to speak at all.

The same are the generals who have been dragged in Dingxiang for a long time. They have actually had enough of the endless siege. It is really hard to get out of this mud pit, and they have expressed their opinions one after another.

"Make the illusion of evacuation and attract the enemy to break through the city?" Ran Min said that this seems a little unreliable. It is based on the premise that the besieged enemy has no knowledge of the outside world: "Does the enemy know the outside world? Knowing? It might be self-defeating if you know it."

"Our army is not at all embarrassed to attack." Li Tan felt that he had had enough: "Why not attack with absolute strength?"

Ran Min said that he likes this kind of effortless play style. He not only brought thirty bronze cannons, but also the explosives packs that had great effects early in the Battle of the Swallows, and there was no shortage of stone dumpers in Dingxiang that could shoot explosive packs.

On the one hand, they wanted to attack by force, and on the other hand, they wanted to break through at any cost. It was just that the Han army wanted to spend at least three days to prepare. The trapped army in Dingxiang City had to prepare for a day before moving in the middle of the night.

The Han army was equipped with firearms, but there were not many that could be mastered and used. Ran Min didn't even think about whether he would be horrified, so he decided to give the public a deep insight into the future on the same day.

The bronze cannon has wheels, so the mule can get close to the front when pulled by a horse.

In addition to the thirty bronze cannons being pulled to the front line, nearly a hundred boulder carts were also pulled up after some tossing, and all kinds of crossbows and crossbows were not dropped.

The remnants of the Jie clan forces that had decided to break through the siege, they made various final preparations with one kick. They learned that there was a big move on the Han army, and thought it was a leak of the news, and their mutual mistrust intensified.

It can't just go up with various long-range troops. It must be accompanied by corresponding troops. Naturally, the movement will not be small. The moving Han army will soon spread out east of Dingxiang City.

Ten thousand people are boundless, the banners of the various phalanxes of the army flutter with the wind, and all kinds of passwords are conveyed everywhere.

Zhang Yun went up to the city wall and saw that there were too many things that he couldn't understand, and he was even more bewildered by the Han army placing stone dump trucks and other equipment in front.

Dingxiang’s city wall has long been gaped, and there is no need to attack the city gate anymore. It is totally unreasonable to put heavy siege equipment in front of the army, and the cavalry can charge into the city quickly.

The broken city wall has long been of no holding value, and the Dragon Guards who have repeatedly broken through the city are also familiar with relying on the ruins of the city to conduct street battles. Zhang Yu and others did not pull the troops out.

In the back, not only army generals came to watch the scene, but people with a certain status and status came over, but they all had the plan to flee back to Miyagi on horseback as soon as the Han army charged.

Zhu Gui pointed to the bronze cannon he had never seen before and asked Zhang Yin, "What does the general know about this?"

If Zhang Yin knew that there would be ghosts~www.wuxiamtl.com~, the distance was really far away. It wasn't really true, so he could only shook his head to show that he didn't know.

In the military formation outside the city, Ran Min put down his binoculars and yelled at the surrounding colleagues very proudly: "Just tell me, the big movement will inevitably attract them to spy, maybe you don't need to prepare anymore, they will kill them immediately. End the war."

Li Tan and others who didn't know the power of firearms didn't understand what bombing to death is, but they were very interested in ending the war.

Ran Min is very unconvinced that he is judged as a brash man who only knows how to do it. He has not found many opportunities to show success. He is naturally excited to be able to show his face today. He knows that not everyone can kill him all at once. A large group of people in high positions in the enemy country.

Thirty bronze cannons were laid out in a straight line, each leaving a necessary interval. After the calibration and loading of ammunition were busy, they waited for the order to fire the cannon to be issued.

"Wait for a while, regardless of whether they are all killed or not, they will be a tentative charge." Ran Min dropped a sentence and started to take steps in the surprised eyes of everyone. He also greeted: "Come and take a closer look, just wait for a while to remember. Cover your ears."

That's right, even though Ran Min has personally fired the cannon more than once, he is very obsessed with things that can be heard at a glance, and he breathes heavily with excitement that he might kill a large group of enemy state officials by himself.

Zhu Gui, Zhang Ying and others, who were on the city wall, looked around. They waited until the Han army showed no signs of approaching. They were still talking, but they heard a muffled noise, and the next moment was a strange whistling sound. After passing it, I don't know what was hit by something more than 20 steps away from his side, the call is huge and messy.

"Straight thief girl, hurry up and regroup." Ran Minja screamed the trend artillery: "Move fast, don't get run away!"
