The four hundred and fortieth chapters are invincible
Eight guns were fired out from two miles away, and it was obvious that they could not defeat Hangzhou's tall city walls, leaving only a few large pits. The damage effect was not great, but it brought as shock as that of modern people. The star destroyer suddenly saw the star destroyer. After all, the "Grandmaster's Cannon" was something that could only appear five hundred years later.
The huge technical generation gap not only confuses Fang Layi's army in Hangzhou City, but also confuses the imperial guards besieged outside. The loud thunder-like sound of the city gate tower like a tragic situation like a "heavenly punishment", made the imperial guards who siege the city not dare to approach, thus missing the opportunity for the defenders to escape and defend against the empty defense, but still failed to break through Hangzhou.
However, today's scene fell into the eyes of hundreds of military officials of the Northwest Imperial Army. Those who have fought a war know how powerful this thing is. They knocked down the city walls two miles away, and the Heavenly King couldn't defend it even if they came. If there were dozens of these things on the top of the city, the 70,000 Imperial Army would probably have to retreat more than ten miles, and the supervisors could not force the soldiers to come forward to die. The enemy has no self and is so domineering.
Before the siege was over, the generals of all sizes ran to the central army without being summoned. The generals of the Zhe family, the generals of the Zhong family, the generals of the Yang family, and the Liu family, the Yao family and other major warlord families were asking what this thing was and when they would assemble their troops like crossbows and divine arm crossbows.
Tong Guan changed his contempt and disdain a few days ago and loudly praised "The Supreme Master is equipped with a divine weapon of heaven." He spoke a lot of official words without mentioning the rest because he didn't know at all. If anyone in the world could penetrate into the old nest of Diankuisi to find out the news, Cao Hua, the head of the Intelligence Bureau, would no longer be the leader of the intelligence bureau.
After driving away the generals of various armies, Tong Guan sat in the commander's tent, and his mind was no longer on the city of Hangzhou, which must be broken.
Wang Bing returned and went back and forth, with a little excitement on his face:
"This thing deserves the four words "the country's important weapon". If hundreds of these things are placed in Taiyuan Prefecture, the Jin Dynasty's iron and floating maps are all paper-paste tigers, and they can hit Liaodu Shangjing with their feet..."
Tong Guan thought of the plan to join forces with Jin and attack Liao, and nodded: "This thing should be used on the military formation. A group of guards in Diankui Si were holding such powerful tools, which was really useless."
Wang Bing walked back and forth, and his armor was 'proud' and rumbling: "It's true. Governor Cao was unstoppable. It was a waste to use such magical weapons to eliminate bandits in the rivers and lakes. I wonder if this thing was approved by the Ministry of War to Diankuissi, or?"
Diankuis is the private army of the emperor and has always used the most exquisite military weapons of the Song Dynasty. It is reasonable to give good things to Diankuis first. However, Tong Guan is the head of the Privy Council, and it is impossible to know if there is such a powerful weapon. After a little thought, he asked the adjutant:
"When did the Military Arts Supervisor get this thing?"
Military weapons supervisors are specializing in the manufacturing of military ordnance, and "hard turbulence" belongs to one of the small departments, and thunderbolt cannons and other objects also come from it.
The adjutant recalled: "I will remember that last spring, Diankuisi transferred a craftsman from the military weapon supervisor. The Diankuisiya yamen on Yonglu Street often heard the sound of firecrackers. I'm afraid it was Diankuisi himself who made it."
Tong Guan frowned slightly and thought for a while: "The craftsmen who used military weapon supervision were naturally created by the Ministry of Works. How can it be said that it was made by Diankui Shi. Diankui Shi is the guard of the emperor and is not in charge of military weapon manufacturing..."
While talking, a personal soldier entered the tent and reported:
"General, Governor Cao has come."
Wang Bing immediately showed a little joy, and actually ran out of the big tent and greeted him in person.
Cao Hua held a sword, wearing a white robe, looked a little ahead among the armored soldiers. He walked straight outside the central army's tent and raised his hand:
"General Wang called me to come, is there something important?"
"Of course there is one, please come from Governor Cao."
Wang Bing's face actually had a bit of flattery. He rubbed his hands and let Cao Hua walk in front, laughing:
"Just just now, I heard a loud noise from the north, and the sound was like thunder. The soldiers of the whole army were shocked, not knowing that this thing was..."
"Grandmaster artillery."
"If you deserve this name, you will be as brave and invincible as Governor Cao, and peerless as he is..."
Wang Bin, a general, said flattering words, and did not repeat them for a long time.
Cao Hua walked to the Taishi chair on the side of the big tent and sat down, raised his hand and let Wang Bing sit, and looked at Tong Guan sitting above.
Tong Guan was wearing a purple robe and brewed a little, showing a little peaceful smile:
"Cao Hua, the result of the 'Grandmaster' just now is really terrifying. I only realized that the Song army had such a powerful weapon. You have hidden me so much."
Cao Hua took the teacup from the adjutant and his expression was calm: "I just made it and I still have time to present it to the emperor. General Tong doesn't know it's natural."
Tong Guan nodded, said a few words of praise, and then asked casually: "I heard that this thing was made by the craftsmen of the military weapon supervisor?"
Cao Hua frowned. If he nodded, all the contributions to artillery research and development would fall on the workforce. He naturally shook his head:
"I took the time to build it and borrowed a few craftsmen to do chores."
Tong Guan nodded and chuckled, thinking: "Governor Cao is really very knowledgeable, and he has also studied military weapon forging... Only by using this object to the war formation can it be used for the full use. Dian Kui is responsible for supervising all officials and clearing out bandits in the world. It is estimated that there is no official's house, so he needs to use this thing to break the door..."
Cao Hua nodded: "This thing is naturally to be used on the battlefield. I will dedicate it to the emperor when I return to Beijing. As long as the emperor adopts it and starts to cast a large number of people, I think I will be able to assemble the soldiers of General Tong soon."
Tong Guan stroked his fingers and looked up at the Hangzhou city in the distance: "Fang La rebellion has harmed countless people in Jiangnan. I was ordered to quell the rebellion. Now the military situation is imminent. I wonder if Governor Cao can lend the Grand Governor's cannon in his hand to Wang Bing so that he can quickly break the city and quell the rebellion?"
Wang Bing was stunned, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly realized the current situation - Cao Hua's "Grandmaster Cannon" was amazing, and the opponent's thief was extremely shocked. If the Hangzhou rebels could not defend, they would inevitably abandon the city and break through. Once the city was broken, when military merits were counted, Cao Hua would break Hangzhou alone. Their 70,000 imperial guards were just helping to fight.
Wang Bing understood this and was immediately dissatisfied. Even without the "Grandmaster's Cannon", it would be a matter of time before the breaking of Hangzhou City. After Cao Hua did this, wouldn't he beating tens of thousands of imperial guards under his command be in vain? Tong Guan proposed to lend him the "Grandmaster's Cannon", and the credit for destroying the city was naturally still in his hands, just borrowing Cao Hua's knife to use it.
After understanding this, Wang Bing showed some embarrassment and raised his hand and said, "Governor Cao, I have been fighting with tens of thousands of imperial guards for two months. So..."
Cao Hua put down his teacup: "I also serve as the army of the Hangzhou Army. General Wang is the leader of the army. He leads the team to break the city first and get the most contribution. Of course, General Wang is the commander of it properly. They are all a family, so what can I borrow or not?"
When Wang Bing heard this, his face suddenly eased a little - as long as Cao Hua did not use the name of Dian Kuisi to break the city, but his generals, the credit for breaking the city was to enjoy it together. Cao Hua just took the first prize of breaking the city first, and the main and secondary were very clear.
"I feel relieved when Governor Cao said this. When the city of Hangzhou is broken, I will definitely think carefully about the report on the war report to satisfy the Governor and his men."
Wang Bing was satisfied and looked at Tong Guan.
Tong Guan didn't say much about this matter, but looked at Hangzhou City:
"In the battle today, the morale of the rebels will be destroyed, and they will soon abandon the city and move forward. After breaking the city, General Wang led the imperial guards to attack Muzhou 20,000 east. With Cao Hua and his powerful weapons to help, it is not difficult."
“This is nature.”
Wang Bing nodded and took the order.
