Great Song Pirate

Chapter 605 Cold Arrow
After the fleet from Liuqiu Island unloaded all the cargo, many ships immediately set sail again, left Dalian Port, and sailed back towards the south. Most of these ships were conscripted by Wang Feng's subordinates along the coast of Fujian Road. Cargo ships, relying solely on the ships of the Fubo Army, are now far from being able to meet the transportation of bulk cargo.

Most of the sailors and ship owners of the Song Dynasty were terrified when they were stopped, but under the explanation of the subordinates of the Fubo Army, they understood that these pirates were going north to fight against gold, and they only temporarily requisitioned their ships to transport goods, so I was very surprised and quite emotional. When the Song Dynasty was in trouble, even these pirates stepped forward and went to the north to fight against the gold, so what else can they say, they just lost some It was only time, so most of the people immediately sailed back to Liuqiu Island with the Fubo Army, and took on the task of transporting soldiers and supplies for the Fubo Army. Not so much here at once.

Xu Yi specially ordered his subordinates to thank the sailors on these Song boats, and sent people to send them away, and gave them enough food and fresh water for the return journey, ensuring that there would be no shortage of these things on the way, and the people on these boats worshiped Not to mention that they left Dalian Port, and Fubo Army's own fleet was also ordered by Xu Yi to return after unloading, carrying enough food, and returning south with these Song ships that did not belong to the Fubo Army. The advantage of empty ships is to collect refugees on the coast and transfer them to Liuqiu Island for resettlement. Now is the best time to obtain population, and they can't be empty back and forth!

Wang Feng excitedly pulled a new type of blast cannon from the pier, and showed it to Xu Yi. Xu Yi recognized it at a glance. With a strong local style, the casting is very delicate. It can be seen that the craftsmen of Ren Bin and the others have made new improvements in their craftsmanship.

This blast cannon is still made of bronze as a whole. Its caliber is a little smaller than that of the Leigong Cannon, only about 50 millimeters. The barrel is relatively thin, and it is much lighter than the Leigong Cannon. With a large opening, you can see the gun chamber at the back from here, and there are nine copper "hot water bottles" on the gun carriage. You can tell it is a sub-gun at a glance. The Franco cannons are all exactly the same, the difference is that this self-made blast cannon is obviously improved, it has a mechanism to adjust the elevation angle and has some left and right adjustment ranges, and a rear sight is also installed on the gun body , there is also a scale on it for aiming, which makes it more convenient to operate and looks quite modern.

Xu Yi was overjoyed. He lay on the muzzle and watched the barrel carefully. He saw that the inside was as clean as a mirror and was polished very carefully. He also looked at the barrel. There is also a serial number engraved on the body of the cannon. The serial number of this cannon is Ji 20. Obviously, it is No. [-] and [-]. Even the sub-cuppets are also numbered, which shows that Ren Bin and the others were very careful when manufacturing them. Xu Yi He picked up another sub-gun, put it into the opening of the breech by himself, and tested it. It turned out that the two cooperated quite well. The gap at the place is also quite small, which fully agrees with Xu Yi's original idea. After watching this blast cannon, Xu Yi's mouth is already crooked.

"Haha! Good! It's really good! With this thing, who will our Fubo army be afraid of coming?" Xu Yi patted the blast cannon and laughed loudly.

"My lord, Mr. Ren has given special instructions to the humble staff. Although this blast cannon fires fast, its range is not as good as that of the original Lei Gong cannon. You need to pay attention!" Wang Feng looked at Xu who was almost going crazy with joy. Yi said specifically.

"Maybe! I know, I've known about this for a long time! What this gun needs is its lightness and speed of firing. You must know that we will deal with the Jin people in the future. Most of the Jin people are cavalry. The speed is extremely slow, and although the range is far, it is not enough to intercept the Jinren cavalry. With this thing, the Jinren can suffer a lot! Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Hurry up and transport these cannons to Fuzhou , hand it over to Zaixing and tell them, after having these good things now, if they still dare to lose the battle, then don’t come back, just jump into the sea and pull them down!” Xu Yi smiled while nodding.

After looking at this new blast cannon, Xu Yi went on to look at two new gadgets. One is the iron-cast Leigong cannon. Compared with the copper-cast Leigong cannon, there is no major change. It became iron, which saved a lot of copper consumption and saved a lot of money for the Fubo army. This is not the first time I have seen this kind of thing, Xu Yi has already known it.

The other is a short-barreled cast-iron Leigong cannon. The body of the cannon is only a little more than two feet long. , the power is more powerful than the Thunder Cannon, and the shotgun has a larger spread area, which is very suitable for placing on the top of the city. This is something that Ren Bin and the others came up with, which shows that they have jumped out of Xu Yi after such a long time. It is a good sign that I have started to think about new things after drawing the rules and regulations at the beginning, and it is worthy of praise.

In addition, there are also a large number of gunpowder projectiles sent with the ship, and the explosive bombs have also been mass-produced. This time, thousands of them were sent with the ship, which is enough for them to deal with it for a while. As for cold weapons, there are A large number of fine steel one-handed knives and horse-chopping knives, bundles of three-edged spears, steel-clad shields, thousands of bows and crossbows, a large number of arrows, and stacks of armor, Xu Yi was dazzled. .

With so many materials, Xu Yi could hardly believe that they were mass-produced by the Fubo Army themselves, which shows how far their Fubo Army's manufacturing strength has reached now.

Seeing the mountains of materials piled up on the wharf yard, Xu Yi felt a little scratching his head. The things were shipped from Liuqiu Island, but it might not be easy to transfer them to Fuzhou. Fortunately, they were in Jizhou peacefully. A lot of mules and horses were obtained during the two battles in Zhouzhou. Otherwise, these things would be carried by people, and I don't know how long they will be carried!

Xu Yi was worried about changes in the front line, and after thinking about it, he threw the stall here to Xue Tu. Now that Xue Tu has rushed over and finished the job, he can leave here with peace of mind. Xu Yi has always been in command of the army for a long time , Conquering the South and the North, staying in the rear now, never going to the front to watch the war at ease.

Although Xue Tu didn't want Xu Yi to leave here and take risks in the front, but he also knew that once Xu Yi was sure about one thing, nine cows would not be able to pull him back, so he could only sigh, and accepted the challenge, and stood up for Xu Yi. It's too late, Xu Yi specially told him that after Kong Qingxi came, don't let Kong Qingxi's soldiers go to Fuzhou area, but go northward along the east side of the coast, pay attention to the movement of this line of golden soldiers, Don't be careless, Jin Bing came around from this line and copied Dalian Port, the old nest in the rear.

Xue Tu wrote it down and asked Xu Yi what else he could order. After Xu Yi thought for a while, he said: "The building of the city in this area cannot be stopped. We will stay here for a long time and firmly nail it here. This place will become The starting point for us to go north is also an important place for us to obtain supplies. Defense must not be ignored. I only hope that you are here, bring the new army here, and build this place like an iron barrel, so that the Jin people can only sigh and sigh. The reason is that the recruits did not participate in the battle this time, so don’t relax their drills. Since you have joined our Fubo Army, you must know who they are loyal to. Once you find that someone has changed, you should secretly deal with them. Don’t be careless. , but it can’t be too much, master this scale well, find those who are capable, and after inspecting their loyalty, you might as well use it boldly, so that everyone feels that they have a head start. You are now a professional in doing this thing, keep these two points in mind , I feel relieved!"

Xue Tu nodded again and again, Xu Yi seemed to be still not at ease with these new recruits. It was no wonder that a large number of these new troops were Khitan and Han Chinese who had defected from the old Liao Dynasty. Maybe it will cause serious trouble, Xue Tu kept it in mind, now he has more ways to monitor these people with hidden lines, so he said to Xu Yi: "Don't worry, my lord, I will leave this place to me. If anyone wants to If something happens, then wait for them to look good, but the swords and guns in front of you have no eyes, so be careful, Lord Wanwang!"

Xu Yi looked at Hou Cheng who was standing behind him like a shadow, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, with Hou Cheng here, I don't think anyone can do anything to me!"

Hou Cheng also smiled at Xue Tu, expressing his confidence, Xue Tu took over here and started to work.

Originally Xu Yi wanted to go back and say goodbye to Yiqing and leave Yiqing here, but when he stepped into the yard, he saw a group of female soldiers in full armor standing in the yard, and he was a little dizzy at that time. How did the female soldiers come out?When Yiqing came over yesterday, didn't he just bring a bunch of maids with him?Why are they all dressed up like this now!However, Xu Yi still felt that these female soldiers not only did not weaken their charm after wearing the armor, but each of them looked heroic, with a single sword in a sharkskin sheath on each waist, a heroic appearance, which made people uncomfortable Dare to underestimate.

After the girls saw Xu Yi coming in, they all stepped in to salute Xu Yi. Xu Yi nodded in a daze, feeling a bad premonition, walked into the room quickly, and looked head-on. As expected, Yiqing was also in military uniform , all wearing purple gold helmets, bright silver armor, luan belts around the waist, thin-soled fast boots, and a fine steel sword hanging from the waist. They look so heroic, Xu Yi really fainted on the spot!

"You... what are you doing?" Xu Yi couldn't help but asked out loud.

"Of course I went to battle with the officials!" Yiqing, who was dressed in military uniform, playfully replied to Xu Yi with a wink and a smile on his lips.

"Nonsense! What nonsense! How can you go to Fuzhou with me? No, absolutely not!" Xu Yi shook his head like a rattle, and cast a veto on the spot.

Yiqing moved lightly, came to Xu Yi, put his hand on Xu Yi's arm, and said softly: "I have heard people say that the officials once said that everyone is responsible for the country's troubles, although Qian'er is just a woman. However, it is not powerless now, not to mention that the officials are taking the lead for our Zhao family. How can I, a princess, sit in the back and enjoy the success, while my husband fights in the front? Besides, women have been fighting since ancient times. , Isn’t our female general of the Yang family in the Song Dynasty an example? Why can’t I accompany my husband to the battle? Besides, going to Fuzhou City, I don’t necessarily have to kill horses and enemies, but I am willing to beat the drums for the army , I hope the officials will be sympathetic!"

Xu Yi was left speechless by what she said, but thinking about it, there are so many people around, so she shouldn't be allowed to charge forward!What's more, there is another example of Liang Hongyu in this generation in history. Liang Hongyu can go to battle to support her husband and make great achievements in battle, so Yiqing's request is not too much, so she has no choice but to agree.

When asked what happened to these female soldiers outside, Yiqing told him that these female soldiers were brought out by Yingchun. Many people know that Yingchun has a good kung fu, so many women want to practice martial arts like Yingchun. Later, Yingchun simply selected some women from Jilong Village and practiced it secretly. This matter has already started, but it has been kept hidden. That's all for Xu Yi, now these female soldiers have already formed an army, so this time when Yiqing came, they were sent to Yiqing by Yingchun to be her personal soldiers.

Xu Yi couldn't laugh or cry, he, the head of the Fubo Army, didn't know about such a big matter, it seems that these ladies are really trying to hide it from him!

Now that he has decided to send troops to Fuzhou City, Xu Yi no longer delays, and immediately ordered Li Bo to order all the soldiers who accompanied him this time, and then escorted a large amount of supplies to Fuzhou City. Now he is only worried about I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the first battle, because there is news that the Jin people have completed their assembly in the area around Liaoyang Mansion. They have mobilized nearly [-] soldiers and horses and are heading towards Fuzhou City. With their current marching speed , will definitely not rush to Fuzhou City before Jin Bing arrives at Fuzhou City.

Except for some of the soldiers and horses that came to Liuqiu Island to help Xue Tu this time to strengthen the defense in the northeast direction, most of the rest followed Xu Yi to Fuzhou City. It was the mistress who was dressed neatly and went to Fuzhou City with them to participate in the battle, so their morale immediately improved a lot. These soldiers and generals tried their best to perform in front of Xu Yi in this battle to win As a result, when the army left Dalian Port, their morale was very high, and the new troops who stayed here also came out under the leadership of their respective leaders to see off. Seeing the majesty of the Fubo Army, each of them had a kind of enthusiasm I feel like I can't wait to follow them to Fuzhou City and fight with Jin Bing. Everyone feels that they have found the right team, which also greatly stimulated their morale.

As expected by Xu Yi, shortly after his reinforcements left Dalian Port, a group of golden soldiers and horses appeared on the avenue north of Fuzhou City, rushing towards Fuzhou City.

Yang Zaixing heard the news, immediately stopped all the things in the city, and entered the state of fighting. This time they are completely on the defensive, what they want is to consume a large number of Jinren's troops here, and drag down the Jinren's army Here, Yang Zaixing strictly ordered all the troops to stick to the fortifications, never to easily send troops to fight against the Jinren, and strive to suppress their losses to a minimum. The Fubo Army is not like the Jinren, they can recruit a large number of local soldiers and horses, but they have no Jinren It is so convenient to get support. For future plans, Yang Zaixing said that he can't let his most elite subordinates just spend it here. It will also lose its ability to attack the Kingdom of Jin.

When the vanguard of the Jin people arrived ten miles northeast of Fuzhou City, they stopped and stopped advancing. They began to set up camp on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army. However, when he arrived here, he no longer had the arrogance he had when he sent troops, because he was almost depressed to death during this journey, and as long as he passed through the woods or mountains along the way, his vanguard would always be able to suffer. Shoot some cold arrows, and these cold arrows are extremely accurate. They only pick out those officers in their army, that is, Meng An Mouke.

What's even more exasperating is that often after being ambushed, they can't even find the other party's shadow, so they can only shoot wildly in the direction of the incoming arrows, trying to kill the attacker with random arrows, but in the end What's the matter, they don't even know it themselves, they only know that after sending people to search, they can't even find the hair of an enemy, but the arrows have been consumed a lot. When they walked outside Fuzhou City, even this Dutong was too frightened by these cold arrows to show off his might, and the rest of the Meng'an Moukes even put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers, for fear that they would be too conspicuous and become the next target to be hunted down. Before reaching the city of Fuzhou, the forward army of the Jin people was beaten into a frightened bird. They were so depressed that they almost wanted to hit the wall. They had never been beaten like this since they attacked Liao, and they were so angry Call the people of Song Dynasty mean and shameless, dare not fight them openly, and specialize in such nasty things as sneak attacks, but they can't do anything about these enemies who sneaked up on them, and their morale plummeted for a while He was low, so he didn't dare to advance rashly anymore, and honestly set up camp ten miles outside Fuzhou City, waiting for the arrival of the army.

This is the first appetizer served to them by the Fubo Army. This method of warfare was also taught to Yang Zaixing by Xu Yi. You must know that when facing a strong enemy, the great men of later generations used this method of warfare. Little Japan complained endlessly. At the beginning, Yang Zaixing and other generals felt that it was a little immoral and disgraceful to do so, but they were taught a lesson by Xu Yi. Xu Yi had very good reasons. Xu Yi said: "War is What? War is a life-and-death battle, not a place to pay attention to face. Besides, it has long been said in military books that soldiers are deceitful! You can only use your own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. No matter what method you use, as long as you defeat the enemy The army is a hero. No matter how upright and fearless you are, as long as you are defeated by the enemy, you are incompetent. If you don’t use your own advantages, wouldn’t you be a fool? Especially when the enemy is strong and we are weak, you cannot stick to it. Outdated rules, you have to think more about some bad moves to deal with the enemy. If you think about saving face, you might as well enter the enemy line alone and see what will happen to you and what evaluation you will get, idiot! No one will say hello to you even if you die in battle!"

After being taught a lesson by Xu Yi, Yang Zaixing and his group of generals thought it was reasonable. Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. No matter what method you use to defeat the opponent, Xiang Yu is very good, but in the end it was not defeated by the gangster Liu Bang. Are you cornered?They ended up with the tragic end of Wujiang committing suicide, so when they were in Wa Kingdom, they began to use this kind of sneak attack tactics wantonly, and tasted the sweetness greatly. Now they use this kind of sneak attack and ambush tactics, and they are already familiar with it Sophisticated can't be so sophisticated!For this reason, Yang Zaixing also specially selected a group of shooters according to Li Bo's method, specializing in this kind of ambush tactics, shooting away with one arrow, and never giving the opponent a chance to catch him. I have suffered so much.

After the arrival of the Jinren Vanguard Army, a large number of the main force of the Golden Soldiers also came over immediately. Like the Vanguard Army, these Jin Soldiers who arrived later also suffered from these cold arrows on the road. Although the casualties were not large, they all died. Some Jurchens, the morale of the army was very low, and they were so angry that Wan Yanzong, the commander of Jinbing, jumped into a rage and vowed to enter Fuzhou City and slaughter all the people in the city to avenge this.

Speaking of Wanyan Zongqiang, his name is Alu, he is the eighth son of Wanyan Aguda, and also the younger brother of Wanyan Zongbi Jin Wushu. He is violent by nature, very cruel and easy to kill. Leading the army to attack the Fubo Army, Wanyan Zongqiang was also very ambitious when he dispatched the troops. He vowed to slaughter all the Fubo Army in the Liaodong Peninsula, but he was not a fool. He didn't underestimate the Fubo army, and he gave it a lot of attention, which is why it took so long to gather troops and horses in Liaoyang Mansion. Originally, he thought that after arriving here, he would face off against the Fubo army in an upright manner. Let the Fubo army see the horror of their golden soldiers, but after they figured out the Liaoyang mansion, they suffered a lot from the birds along the way, and the cold arrows shot from time to time made them hard to guard against. It made them so annoying that even Wan Yan Zongqiang was almost shot by a cold arrow on the road, so that they could have walked the road in three days, but it took five days to arrive.

(Thank you for the friends who voted for [-] words! It’s been a long time since I saw such an update ticket. I’m very grateful to get a knot. Thank you very much. Of course, there are also brothers who gave rewards. Naturally, Pimple will never forget it! )
