Chapter 3 Temporary end
. Zhao Xu was right. The walls of the advance base were established on this side, which was the main direction of the enemy's attack. But he did not expect that after the enemy suffered a loss from the thunder cannon, he immediately learned to be smart.
Of course he didn't know that his father Zhao Wuji was standing in the enemy camp opposite him. At this moment, he was just thinking in his heart that Zhao Fubo's Song Yulin Army relied on such weapons to win the war, otherwise how could his power be so rapid? Could it be that all the enemies he faced were fools and didn't know how to avoid artillery fire?
Zhao Xu was right. The earliest "Ming Zi Fire Rain" and "Muk Missile" launched by the stone caster were similar to what he used. Even in the offensive and defensive battles at Aden Castle, the weapon was even simpler. But the difference was that the main personnel under Zhao Fubo had already received junior high school education at that time, and their ability to understand things was naturally much higher than that of Zhao Xu and others.
The difference is that whether it is "Ming Zi Fire Rain" or "Muk Missile", it is all because of the relative accuracy of the ranging method. After calculation, those things are all empty-burning ammunition. Facing that kind of ammunition, even digging trenches is useless. Unless it is a deep and bent future anti-aircraft gun hole, or when facing ammunition with basically no dead corners, huge casualties are inevitable.
Zhao Xu did not understand this principle. Even if he understood that the Four Five Classics he read, including the art of war, would not mention these basic calculation problems in natural sciences. In the civilizations of Arabia, ancient Greece, and ancient Roman, the geometry of basic calculations was not magical. The problem was that the popularization of science at that time was not what His Majesty the King was concerned about.
In recent years, religion has formed a powerful force in Europe, the Arab Empire, and the church, which seriously restricted the development of science. It can be said that the Song Dynasty at that time was the most fertile soil for the development of natural sciences compared to the world. Unfortunately, the rule of totalitarianism, stupid rulers, and foreign invasions made the Song Dynasty lose the opportunity to start the era of great navigation. The reason is that the newly emerged Confucian culture overemphasized "benevolence and righteousness" and too little respect for iron blood, forming the tragic era of the Song Dynasty.
Because if there is no iron-blooded foreign policy, "benevolence and righteousness" is just a fool's dream and fools fart. When foreign races swept across China, everything they hoped for was ruined by their so-called "benevolence and righteousness". At the same time, the Chinese nation was ruined, with its originally bright future.
Then this time, if you want to plunder China and let the Chinese ruin their future, Zhao Fubo will definitely make the nation with these thoughts have enough fun at once!
"This...what should I do...those bastards..."
Zhao Xu's anxiousness was unwilling to reveal at this moment. He just paced back and forth in the tower for a few times, and looked at the group of enemy infantry getting closer and closer with his eyes. The only thing that he could be relieved was that the ladder trucks and arrow towers had already stopped halfway through smoke under the attack of his "raindrop cannon".
At this time, he saw some cavalrymen carrying a ladder and running quickly under the city wall of Yulinzhuang. This made him suddenly burst into inspiration, and he was happy at the same time, because he had already thought of a solution.
"Send the order, raindrops hit the cavalry carrying ladders. Aren't they going to climb the city? If they can climb from the city wall, let them come! Also, let our thunder cannons continue to fire. I can't blow them up on the ground. If they run, I want to see where you hide!"
Thinking of a solution, Zhao Xu became confident again. Because at this moment, the attack of 4,000 people, especially when the soldiers charged, the formation was much denser than that of 2,000 people. He had already estimated that one shot would be full of ghosts and howlings.
At this time, the sun in the sky walked down a little again. Zhao Xu, who knew that the city gate would not be broken, had already begun to think in his heart, how should he spend it late? It is not a possibility that the enemy will attack all night, but obviously he should not be taken lightly.
"Tell the order, and ask people to prepare the gas lamp for night lighting! Tell the kitchen to deliver the meal to the city wall in the evening and ask the idle people in the village to send the bedding to the soldiers."
After fighting for most of the day, Zhao Xu found a feeling of a general more and more. He even felt that he had wasted too much time in the past. This war was also an interesting activity compared to other things. Maybe he could win over Bershallo, so he could both relieve boredom and make money...
"This is done! At this moment, Master Xu, I have a firearm, and Erlang Fubo can take Aden, so can I not even take a Bershallo? And when I take it down, if Mustasin, the Caliph of Baghdad, quarrels, I will ask him to find Erlang Fubo, the unreasonable one. Master Xu, I will ignore you guys!"
Just like Zhao Fubo's love for men and women, today is probably the day when Zhao Xu started the trick of getting rich in war. It is a bit regrettable that if he had started, he might have said that he could have done it all the way with Zhao Fubo. If that were the case, there might have been much less internal disputes among the Zhao family. It is unquestionable that Zhao Xu's life was too relaxed and freehand, which made him lose the opportunity to learn this trick in advance. Zhao Fubo's character since childhood also made it difficult for them to get together.
Sure enough, Zhao Xu's order made the subordinates of Bahayi, who had finally rushed to the wall of Yulinzhuang, who was stunned. The high city walls had no place to climb. The cavalry who sent them the ladders were struck by the dense "raindrop cannons" on the road like fish nets.
The city was headed by the feather arrows and thunder were harvesting the lives of the soldiers in large numbers. Just as once, the soldiers of the infantry of the Bhayi Governor of Bershall soon collapsed. They could no longer wait like this. If there were no ladders and if there were no ladders, what reason would they have to stay here and seek death?
Fortunately, this time, the generals under Bershallo, Bahayi, blew the bronze trumpet of retreating without waiting for the soldiers to collapse. If the soldiers were allowed to collapse and escape, they would be very likely to be covered by the other party and killed, which would be dangerous.
