Sweep the World

Dingxiang is not the real capital. Shihu came here when he was retreating strategically. The scope of Miyagi was incomparable with the normal capital.

The walls of Miyagi are neither high nor thick. There are not many palaces and terraces in Miyagi, but there is a large square with a large area.

The fact is the same. It is not Miyagi in the true sense. There are 10,000 to 20,000 troops stationed in it. Where there are troops, there must be a square for training.

The Han army entering the city saw the **** scenes like Shura Field, and many people with low heart tolerance were already vomiting, but those who had adapted long ago were focusing on the possible counterattack of the enemy.

The roar of horseshoe trampling sounded as expected by the school in advance, looking at the center of Miyagi, there was thick dust and smoke, and the roar of horseshoes came from the dust and smoke.

The remnants of the Jie Ren repeatedly tried to break through the siege, because the Han army deployed many traps against the cavalry outside Dingxiang City.

When the Han army broke into the Dingxiang city pool, the two armies fought a wave of ruins everywhere, and the unstoppable defenders retreated into the palace. When guarding the Miyagi wall behind, another wave of heavy infantry was lost, but the loss of armor and equipment was limited.

"I know I won't wait to die." At this moment, Ran Min led the generals on the torn wall of the city. He watched the dust and fog that swept from a distance and listened to the horseshoes that shook the sky: "Bring the car early. The crossbow was hung on the wall just to wait for this moment."

The hanging arm had existed in the pre-Qin Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, I didn't know why it disappeared. According to normal history, it would take until the Song Dynasty to be recreated. Isn't there still Liu Yan?

The standing army of the Han State has been in combat for many years, and has fought a lot with Hu Lui, and has enough experience in how to deal with cavalry.

When the enemy cavalry was found to be coming, the leading generals did not order their corporals to meet them. The infantry retreated to the edge of the city wall to form a close formation, and the cavalry began to cruise in units.

It makes sense for the infantry to retreat towards the city wall. Cavalry originally needed a large enough space to maneuver flexibly. The infantry was more afraid of cavalry attacking from the front and back at their own speed. The existence of the city wall was the backing. One less position where the cavalry can cruise is equal to one less threat.

At the same time, the division of cavalry is also a correct consideration. The area within Miyagi is limited. It is not wise to use light cavalry and assault cavalry to attack the armored equipment. , You can’t pull the enemy around, you can also find the opportunity to make a surprise attack from a different position.

"Should there be nearly a thousand?" Li Tan is General Zhengbei. Listening to the news is a necessary skill to judge the number of enemies: "Bronze cannons and rappellers are fiercely throwing explosive packs, how about bed crossbows?"

There should be more than two hundred bed crossbows that were hung up on the city wall. They have been busy debugging since they were hung up, and most of them are ready to be launched.

"The explosives pack used for bed crossbows is small in size, and the explosives packs without a stone thrower are more powerful." Ran Min said the truth, the launching tension of the bed crossbow and the stone thrower is really different: "To deal with flesh and blood. Enemy troops are enough."

In fact, the original idea of ​​throwing the explosives by the rappel was not purely for bombing people. It was more about destroying the fortifications built by the enemy. There was also thinking about using the explosive power of explosives to remove obstacles.

"Oh?" Li Tan was watching the installation of the crossbow bolts by the bed crossbow operation team, and saw the explosive bag tied to the thick shaft of the crossbow bolt: "Will it affect the range?"

Ran Min nodded, and simply responded: "Naturally."

The billowing dust and smoke coming out of the horses' hoofs was getting closer and closer, and the Dragon Guardian on horseback must be shouting while charging, but was covered by the roar of horses' hoofs.

"Four hundred steps!"

"Three hundred steps!"

"Two hundred steps!"

"preparation--"

"ignition!"

"shoot!"

The heavy hammer hit the huge trigger, the bowstring slammed loudly, and a sharp whistle burst out of the air.

Li Tan thought of something, and said: "If the volume is made smaller, the crossbow can also fire explosives."

Of course, there is such a concept. In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were crossbow troops to carry out such operations. That is, the gunpowder at that time could only hear the sound and smoke, and it was really not lethal.

It is precisely because gunpowder is not very lethal, the practice of storing gunpowder and tying it to an arrow as an explosion was abandoned. Behind it was the arrow specially developed for boosting gunpowder, which gave it a nice name called Swarm.

The gunpowder formulated by Liu Yan has the correct formula and has been specially processed into granular gunpowder. Although the explosive power is not as great as yellow gunpowder, its lethality is not bad.

The bed crossbow was fired, and soon bursts of explosions were heard from the billowing dust. The loud noises were accompanied by the neigh of war horses and the wailing of people.

In the sound of the explosion, the dust smoke is a kind of smoke plume rising into the air. The gas explosion produced by the explosion rolled away the smoke trampled by the horseshoe, and the smoke from the explosion quickly covered it.

Because of the smog, it is really difficult to see the specific situation, but from Tokyo, the sound of horseshoes is no longer so loud.

"Look." Li Tan pointed to the sparsely scattered enemy army: "It is said that loud noises will scare the horses and cause the horses to be frightened."

A large number of cavalry riding horses and galloping will roll up thick dust and smoke, although a small number will trample on the dust, but it will not cause a large area of ​​thick smoke.

Standing on the city wall condescendingly and watching, the Dragon Guardian who was hit by a wave of explosives was completely messed up. It was the kind of chaotic scene where even if the person was not frightened, the mount would not listen to his orders after being frightened.

"The king has made an incredible weapon." Ran Min said about gunpowder. Although he is happy with his possession of such a weapon, he inevitably feels a sense of depression: "This weapon appears, and fighting no longer depends on martial arts."

Not to mention the body of flesh and blood, even if the boulder is bombed, it will be shattered. Personal martial arts is not completely useless, but because of the appearance of firearms, it is infinitely reduced.

"The big man also has a large number of cavalry." Li Tan frowned and asked, "Are you going to be all ear-piercing and deaf?"

The scene where the horses were smashed by the sound of the explosion was staged below. They were armored equipment that needed to be destroyed by fighting with a huge price. Only a wave of explosions lost their order. They were being re-approached by the Han cavalry. Wanting to chase and kill, even the Han infantry can besieged and killed those armor and equipment that were left alone because of the startling horses.

Of course, Ran Min had also thought about similar problems. What he thought was the same as Li Tan, that he might make the warhorse deaf, or it would be useless.

In the early days when gunpowder weapons were put into battle, whether in the East or the West, the first thing to consider was really deafening the horse. I didn’t know how it was developed later, so I developed a set of training techniques. Facts have proved that trained horses will no longer be afraid of explosions, and cavalry can be used on a large scale in World War I and even World War II. There is still a place for the cavalry.

How to train the horse to adapt to the explosion sound? Liu Yan used to be the Marine Corps, but not a cavalry. After that, he didn't specifically check the relevant information. He really didn't understand it, and he had to study it slowly.

"That..." Ran Min said uncertainly: "There will be flashes in the explosion, and the scene is really terrifying. I'm afraid it's not just ear-piercing to avoid alarming the horse."

The scene mentioned is the shock wave generated after the explosion.

The cavalry has been the king of the land battlefield for a long time. The Central Plains Dynasty was passive when confronted with the nomads of the steppe because it did not have enough horses.

In fact, the advantage of cavalry is not purely in combat. Their real advantage is that they move fast enough. Even if it is only an advantage over short distances, they can run when they can't fight, but infantry basically can't catch up.

Furthermore, because of their mobility advantages, cavalry can often choose combat targets more flexibly, and can often make infantry exhausted, waiting for the infantry to launch a sudden attack when they are exhausted.

The two can chat in such a leisurely manner. The counterattack of the remnant Jie tribe organization was disintegrated. They did not need the crossbow troops on the wall to launch the second round. The cavalry and infantry alone solved the counterattack of more than a thousand armor and equipment. More troops have already entered the palace.

Waiting for the lower-level generals to report that they have taken control of the situation, Ran Min and the other generals entered the palace.

They found that even at the end of the road, the extremely extravagant nature of the Jie people has not changed. The palaces and pavilions are not very big, but the interior is very gorgeously decorated.

"This is Chief Hu?" Ran Min didn't even want to say Shihu's name, and pointed to the corpse lying on the bed: "It's all smelly and covered in maggots, how can I identify it?"

After Shihu was killed, his son and the ministers really just left them alone. It’s the Little Ice Age. It’s not so hot in summer, but the corpse should really swell after three or five days. Longer it will only rot.

Seeing the corpses covered with crawling maggots will not have any psychological burden on Ran Min and the generals. Each of them came in a sea of ​​blood, and no one saw all kinds of corpses. The reason why they frowned. , Just because he couldn't tell if it was Shihu, how could he appeal to his emperor.

It would be a big trouble to not be able to tell from the corpse whether the stone tiger is dead or not, so it is impossible to really confirm whether the stone tiger is dead or not, even if there are more witnesses, for such an important matter, the witnesses really cannot be used. irrefutable evidence.

So, for anyone including Ran Min and Li Tan, let alone asking for credit to Liu Yan, it would be considered good if their future was not affected.

Many emperors of the last dynasty, or some lords who dominated one side, would rather self-immolate than be captured or killed after desperate. Apart from knowing that they would not survive, they were also causing trouble to the enemy general before they died.

No one is born, and an unrecognizable corpse is dead. How should the commanding generals assure his king that the enemy chief is dead? They would worry whether their king would suspect that the enemy chief was letting go. Even if the king is generous, there is no way to prove that the enemy chief is dead. The credit must be discounted, and even more serious, even a gap between the monarch and his subjects.

"General..." Li Tan asked meekly: "Can a full search and identification be carried out?"

This is a necessary process. The problem is that they have just met Shihu’s heirs, and some of the remaining ministers of Shijie Zhao’s state who are still alive have also met. What they heard from them is a linguistic vow that Shihu is definitely When he died, he was poisoned by the conspiracy of his son and the minister.

"Escort Chief Hu's son to the king's place." Ran Min's expression was abnormally gloomy: "Those who know the process will also be escorted."

Looking at the corpse that was so decomposed that it was covered with maggots, no one could really laugh.

If Ran Min really wanted to catch Shihu, he would naturally not be killed, but in front of Shihu, he would dig pits and throw certain people whom Shihu had known into the pit and bury them alive. Then it would be the turn of the dragons. Guards, the last is ordinary Jie people. Of course he couldn't do it now. Not only was he unable to kill, the more important people immediately set off for escort, and the others had to be imprisoned for questioning.

Dingxiang was not a Han army. After the Dragon Guards collapsed, he took the initiative to surrender or was forced to surrender. Disarmament was inevitable, but Ran Min ordered all of them to be tied up, obviously not wanting another accident.

The night after the war was over, since it was a victory, it should have been rewarded, and had to take turns to let go of eating, but the high-level group including Ran Min was unhappy, but the middle and low-level soldiers were not affected.

At the moment when we should be laughing, the Chinese army's big account looked dull~www.wuxiamtl.com~ fully recognized. "Li Tan pulled a ugly smile: "Whether Shi Hu is dead or not, he didn't find it anyway." "

Zhong Xing put down the fork in his hand and said dullly: "They dare not lie about this matter, the rotting corpse should be a stone tiger."

Li Tan glanced at Zhong Xing like a fool, and said angrily: "I know that it is rotten, even if it is true, it becomes fake. Anyway, the general dare not write that Shihu is dead in the battle report."

Zhong Xing found that he was really a little stupid. Some things rely heavily on evidence. If there is no evidence, you can't talk nonsense, especially when it comes to enemy chiefs.

"Don't comment, just write what you know." Ran Min's face was not so gloomy anymore, he pulled a reluctant smile, and said: "It's up to the king to judge."

Wang Ji, who was following Ran Min, said cautiously: "Perhaps, it should be... Qizou disappeared."

In an instant, everyone in the tent looked at Wang Ji, and many of them didn't hide their anger.

"I didn't catch it. The corpse is unrecognizable. I have the courage to admit that I did not lose the loyalty of the courtier. You should not trouble the king." Wang Ji endured the fear of violating the anger and said from another angle: "Shihu may have fled to Rouran. , Or it could be the Dingling people, or even fleeing to any place, the big man could chase down to the ends of the world, and wherever he couldn’t hand over the stone tiger, would it be an enemy country?"

Ran Min hadn't turned a bit yet, but Li Tan slapped his thigh.

"Although the big man wants to attack where there is no reason..." Li Tan admired Wang Ji a little, took a look with admiration, and said to Ran Min: "It's important to be famous as a teacher!"

According to Ran Min's real thoughts, as long as he is strong enough, he can hit whoever he wants. What do you need so many reasons for? nt
