Chapter 126 Offense and Defense (5)
…
On the golden beach.
Seeing that the civil servants sent back a group of wounded people, the people around Hu Yanqing quickly directed the civil servants to send the wounded people to the injured boat and wait for unified treatment.
Hu Yanqing soon saw that Cheng Ziming actually appeared among the wounded.
Hu Yanqing stepped forward and said, "General Cheng, are you?"
Although the pain was so painful that he was sweating like rain, Cheng Ziming still insisted on calming himself: "I don't know what the thiefs had made. The sound was loud and the hidden weapons could be scattered everywhere. The family accidentally caught the ghost!"
Hu Yanqing asked while helping Cheng Ziming walk to the injured boat, "But the loud noise just now?"
Cheng Ziming said: "Not bad."
Hu Yanqing thought for a while and said, "I once heard a gunpowder weapon called Thunder and knocked the sky. Could it be it?"
The fire thrower was produced with the emergence of black gunpowder. At this time, the world's earliest fire thrower - Booming Thunder, had been invented. This can also be regarded as the prototype of a grenade, nearly two hundred years earlier than the emergence of cannons and fire guns.
However, the explosion power of the gunpowder in the Song Dynasty was limited. If you want to increase the lethality of the fire throwing weapon, you can only increase the gunpowder, and you also need to mix some iron pieces and iron blocks inside.
The fire thrower is thrown entirely by human force, and the weight increases, and it is not too difficult to throw it far. If it is thrown by a stone thrower, it is too troublesome and difficult to master. Therefore, the sky-blasting thunder was developed early, but because no one uses it, its statement is not obvious.
After Hu Yanqing reminded him, Cheng Ziming also remembered the unpopular weapon of the Sky Thunder, and then said: "It seems that the Sky Thunder is really the Sky Thunder, but... its power is much greater, and it is not as clumsy as the rumored ones."
Hu Yanqing said: "I don't know... Have you ever captured the first pass?"
Cheng Ziming said: "It's captured. When I come back, General Huyan and his team had already advanced to the second pass."
Hu Yanqing frowned and said, "The cavalry has no effect in the siege. What should I do?"
The road up the Liangshan Mountains is rugged, and the official army must attack from the enemy. In such an environment, the horse army will no longer have any advantages. It is better to leave the horse army at the foot of the mountain so that it can guard the ships.
Cheng Ziming said: "General Huyan and the cavalry were just guarding the first pass. The Sa family guessed that General Huyan should be guarding against the first pass being taken back by the bandits."
After hearing what Cheng Ziming said, Hu Yanqing probably understood Hu Yanzhuo's idea - the gap between the first pass and the second pass was dozens of meters. After breaking through the first line of defense, he had to face a heavy blow from the second line of defense, which was not easy to defend. So Hu Yanzhuo took the horse army to assist in defense, so as not to be taken back by the Liangshan army. In that case, they would have been in vain for half a day.
Although I understand Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanqing still has a bad premonition!
After thinking about it, after resettling Cheng Ziming, Hu Yanqing asked his personal follower to invite the other four commanders of the Dengzhou Navy Army to come over.
...
"Hmph! I really treated him as a CD commander and asked us to discuss matters. I couldn't come, but instead summoned me to wait!"
"That's it! If it weren't for the person who led the troops this time, it would be his turn, the new man, to issue orders on behalf of Lord Zhou, and Brother Zhang is almost the same!"
"The Sa family does not have a good grandson like General Huyan, nor is it born in the general's sect!"
"So what about the people from Huyan's family? I just arrived at my Dengzhou navy for a few days and wanted to order me to wait?"
"Then he asked me to go and discuss matters, but I won't go?"
"I want to go to you. I'm sleepy and need rest!"
"Xiao Ke is also sleepy."
"Want to point fingers at me, who do he think he is?"
"Since I don't go, I won't go, sleep! Sleep!"
“…”
After waiting for a stick of incense, before the other four commanders of the Dengzhou naval army came, how could Hu Yanqing not know that they were giving him eye drops?
Hu Yanqing was determined to resolve this matter so as not to give the bandits an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, Hu Yanqing's time to come to the Dengzhou naval army was too short, so short that it could not convince the public. Not to mention the other four camps, even his own back camp, has not been completely sorted out yet.
Moreover, it is rumored that Lord Zhou will be transferred soon, and the new commander will be selected among the five commanders.
Now he is temporarily appointed as the commander of the army by Lord Zhou.
How could the other four commanders easily let go?
"Why!"
After sighing, Hu Yanqing said, "Scatter Qianjie Nets around our camp's ships so that people will not be touched. In that case, we will all be trapped in this Liangshan Pond."
This Qianjie Net is a defensive weapon invented by Hu Yanqing. Spread this net around the hull. No matter how good your water is, you can't reach the bottom of the ship. Not only that, no matter who you touch this net, you will be entangled by this net, and then it will be difficult to get rid of it, and then drowned in the water.
After listening to the words, he immediately went to do what Hu Yanqing told him.
However, not long after, the person who went out to do business came back, and then said indignantly: "Sir, the guy named Qian is Yin Fengyang, he actually brought only two Qianjie Nets to deal with him!"
A hint of anger flashed in Hu Yanqing's eyes!
But Hu Yanqing quickly covered up his true emotions and said, "Then let's spread these two thousand-knit nets around the two sea boats in our camp."
Follow the orders from both sides and go and do it immediately.
The battle on the mountain was still so fierce, and the wounded soldiers were still sent down from the mountain as before. Combined with what the people who went down the mountain said, Hu Yanqing could imagine that the battle to attack the second pass was no easier than attacking the first pass.
Seeing that the people around were already yawning, Hu Yanqing said, "You can take turns to rest."
One person advised: "Sir, let's have a rest. When it's almost ugly, the thief shouldn't come to the camp."
Another advised: "Even if we can break through the second pass tonight, we will definitely not break through the third pass. The villain guessed that the bandits would defend the third pass to the death. After all, they had no choice but to retreat. In that case, they might have to fight for three or five days, and the adults would not be able to stay without rest."
Another person said, "I heard that Commander Zhang had already gone to bed, so why should I work hard alone?"
Hu Yanqing said: "If the battle on the mountain is defeated, our navy will not make any mistakes. General Hu Yan and his team still have a way out. If our navy is defeated by the bandit, General Hu Yan and his team will be trapped on this island. In that case, the morale of the army will be shaken and we may be wiped out. Therefore, although our navy did not participate in the battle, it has a great relationship. Tonight is the key to the victory and the loss must not make any mistakes."
Looking back at the reed marsh that he had been paying attention to for a long time, Hu Yanqing said: "In those reed marsh, even a thousand boats can be hidden. If the bandits and the waters are lying there..."
Someone said, "If sir, I will lead a few small boats to the reed marsh to take a look."
Hu Yanqing thought for a while and said, "No, so you take the two people on a boat to burn those reed marshes for me..."
Just then, cheers suddenly came from the mountain!
Hu Yanqing stood up suddenly and said happily: "General Hu Yan and his team broke through the second pass!"
"call out!"
"Bang!"
A sound arrow suddenly took off and exploded!
Hu Yanqing's heart tightened and asked, "The arrow coming from inside!"
One of them pointed behind them with some uncertainty and said, "It seems there..."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
Almost at the same time, a muffled explosion came from Hu Yanqing around him!
Chapter completed!
