The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 861
"An order was sent to Mu Jun to bring those Han people to this place within two days, and to postpone the killing without pardon!"

Li Yuanhao saw that Huang Qiongnu stopped talking and didn't think too much, so he immediately ordered Mu Jun to speed up without thinking about the possibility of it.

At night, Huang Qiongnv couldn't sleep all night. She thought a lot in her mind, such as if the second brother Li Qianshun was in charge, would the situation be completely different? Is it true that her adoptive father (Li Jiqian) died at the hands of her elder brother? The scene of killing Princess Feilong is vivid in my mind.

Similarly, Lao Niu also saw Li Yuanhao’s army on the camp wall, this time there were almost one-third fewer troops than last time, and at the same time, he saw the Xixia cavalry coming in and out yelling: "Damn, I still want to arrest the Han people!" The common people are threatening me! Fortunately, there is a strategist's plan."

"Master, let them do useless work!" Lu Kai also said with a chuckle.

"Report! General Shi Bao sent a letter..."

Two days later, Lao Niu suddenly uncharacteristically sent troops to line up about a few miles away from the Xixia barracks. This time, it was not a small fight with Fang Jie, Guo Zun, Hu Zaixing, Fang Tianding and others calling the formation, but the entire army lined up.

The army formation is in front of the outermost large soldiers in the shape of a character, followed by wolf soldiers, sickle spear soldiers, big axe soldiers, bow and crossbow battalions, and even sharp weapons such as eight ox crossbows and fire dragon cabinets.

Lu Su in Dazhai is also on the camp wall. If you look down from the sky, you can see dozens of trebuchets behind the camp wall, and countless gunner captains, loaders, and aimers are busy.

The great movement of the Great Song Army could not be hidden from the scouts of the Western Xia Army. Li Yuanhao was overjoyed when he heard the news. This was the 'decisive battle' he had been longing for!
Li Yuanhao didn't think much at all and immediately shouted: "Let's fight!"

The two brothers Zhang Yuan and Zhang Pu who heard the news didn't know what the hell Song Jun was doing, but one thing is certain that there must be a plan.

Soon Li Yuanhao personally led the troops to set off, with a total of [-] troops of [-] elite cavalry and [-] proton troops around him, rushed out of the camp without any formation and directly charged.

Li Yuanhao's behavior of "fighting without declaring" is actually very normal. The cavalry sprint requires a distance, and it is impossible for the two teams to set up a stance to fight like the Central Plains. They can use any advantage to fight.

Moreover, the Xixia party members are also nomads, and it is very easy to adjust the formation by using riding skills on horseback. Of course, nomads rarely have formations, and most of them swarm up in a mess.

"Release the catapult!" Lu Su was on the camp wall, holding a single-barrel iron long pipe in his hand, and immediately ordered after observing.

That's right, it is the 'telescope' in your mind. The principle of this thing is not complicated. What is difficult is the process of making glass. As a weapon with the least technological content but the most cost-effective, it is also a tool that most traversers will 'invent' .

As a time traveler, Lu Heng naturally thought of this thing. The sharp weapon of the age of sailing is also a sharp weapon of war. Lu Heng asked the "scientist" of Jiangdong Academy to study it a few years ago.

It's just that knowing the principle of the telescope is one thing, and how to make it is another thing. I have been stuck on the glass making.

Glass can be seen everywhere in later generations, except for professional workers, who would care about how glass is made?

Although Lu Heng, as a fan of the Three Kingdoms, has read a lot of time-travel novels, the method of making glass from sand and the method of making glass from glaze are the two main glass raw materials for time-travelers.

But when it really comes to the stage of practice, the eyes are smeared, what kind of sand is used for sand?Yellow sand?River sand?rock sand?The sand on the beach?What temperature do you use to burn it?
Liuli was seen when Lu Heng was not the emperor. Natural colored glaze has a kind of impurity that is very poor in light transmission, and it can't be seen through. How to make a telescope?
Therefore, the production of glass is directly skipped with the Spring and Autumn brushwork (of course, the same is true in this book). In short, Lu Heng only knows what the finished product is like and then knows the roughest rough idea.

Moreover, it is required to make glass that can be used to make telescopes. The difficulty here is actually not that easy!
It was also during these three years when Shen Kuo was exploring gold mines that he discovered that the crystal mineral quartz ore was very similar to the glass in Lu Heng's mouth. After many studies, he finally pulled out the first piece of man-made glass with the calcination process!
After the first time, with the cooperation of Shen Kuo and Su Song, they finally achieved telescope-level glass. Of course, the output is not very high or even low. The "clairvoyance" is very precious. Only the marshals are equipped with this glass. Advanced equipment.

After explaining the telescope and looking back at the battlefield, following Lu Su's order, all the trebuchets started to fire, and small and medium-sized stone bullets like shotguns were shot out, and then fell on the Xiliang cavalry like hail .

This is not over, the old cow then shouted loudly: "Eight bulls shoot arrows!"

As the cavalry charged against the stone bullets, they quickly reached the completion of the eight-ox crossbow. For such a large-scale impact that did not require sniper targeting, the eight-ox crossbow began to release the roar of arrow rain.

There were endless screams, but the Xixia party members were also brave enough to fight back with bows and arrows while sprinting against the impact of stones and arrow rain.

"Defend!" Li Gong and Xiang Chong roared, and rows of shields were erected to defend against the opponent's shooting. Even so, some unlucky ones were shot.

Xie Jing and Tan Xiong, veteran generals of the Tianzi Zhongjun's Bow and Crossbow Camp, shouted, "Fire the arrows from the Bow and Crossbow Battalion!"

Now that the Xixia cavalry has been able to draw bows and shoot arrows, when it comes to the range of mutual shooting, the bow and crossbow battalion composed of god arm bows, Zhuge Liannu, and composite strong bows began to show their splendor.

Unless it cannot be reflected in a sudden attack in the wild, the bow and crossbow technology tree of the Song Dynasty can already crush the nomads who are still archery by hand.

The trebuchet, the eight-ox crossbow, the crossbow battalion, and the triple strike of the long-range arms let the Xixia people know what fire suppression is. The proton army composed of the Qiang people and the Xixia light cavalry suffered the most, and they were already damaged before they charged into the formation. Thousands of people and horses didn't even touch each other.

"The iron kite goes to battle! Charge!" After all, the cavalry is cavalry, and its mobility is the fastest on the ancient battlefield. Even if the technology of long-distance arms in the Song Dynasty has been suppressed a lot, they still have to face a problem that future generations cannot solve.

The Zhuge Liannu can shoot [-] arrows in a row, and the mature loader of the Baoxu Nu can change the magazine in half a minute. This also has a limit, and the enemy army has not [-] cavalry but [-] cavalry.

After exceeding a certain amount of battle damage, the cavalry still rushed to the front. Li Yuanhao saw how sharp the Song Dynasty's long-range weapons were, and he had already played his trump card 'Iron Kite' in advance!
A total of [-] iron harriers and heavy armored cavalry can ignore most of the arrows and stones. Li Yuanhao believes that as long as the iron harriers rush to the front of the Song Dynasty, the victory must be Xixia!
