Chapter 238 Firearm "Master" Jiao Yu
At this moment, Feng Guosheng's siege troops have approached the head of the city after a certain number of casualties. Next, it is the most tragic head attack and defense.
At the front, the soldiers carrying the ladder are speeding forward, preparing to put the ladder on the wall with momentum.
"Boom!" The second loud noise came, and the huge iron ball swept over their heads and flew straight forward. This time, it actually flew directly over the wall and into the opposite city!
Jiao Yu simply wanted to find a crack to get in. Last time it was close, but this time it was remote. There must be too much medicine.
"Jiao Yu, give you another chance." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Yes, big brother." Jiao Yu knew that if she couldn't hit again this time, the consequences would be very serious.
The front line has entered a state of incandescent. The heroic soldiers climbed up the top of the city along the ladder. From time to time, a ladder was pried down by the defenders. A series of people on the whole ladder fell down and fell into meat cakes. No one cared about this. They raised the ladder and climbed up again. The head of the city is like a huge meat grinder, devouring the lives of both sides.
The only difference is that Zhu Yuanzhang's side is as powerful as a rainbow. He is determined to take down Chuzhou City, but the defenders are resisting in fear. They have been scared.
"Boom!" The third sound came, and Jiao Yu prayed silently in his heart. Brother, you must fall on the wall!
"Bang!" Perhaps Jiao Yu's prayer worked. The iron egg hit the wall directly, and the wall shook with it, but it still stayed firmly.
"Contone to fire!" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered. Don't daw me, just shoot!"
Jiao Yu had to give up the work of cleaning the gun, directly filled with gunpowder and iron balls, and then fired.
At this moment, the battle at the head of the city became more fierce, and the troops who attacked the city suffered heavy losses.
"Xu Da, Guo Ying." Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
"The last general." The two replied.
"You two each lead 3,000 warriors and attack from the south. You can't fight down Chuzhou City. Don't come to see me!"
"Yes, big brother." The two took the lead.
What Zhu Yuanzhang uses is the sound of east and west. Such a fierce attack on the north wall, cannons and fire cannons were used. In fact, it was just a counterspret, which attracted all the attention of the defenders. Then he sent a fierce general to attack the opposite south wall and took Chuzhou City by surprise!
Sure enough, Xu Da and Guo Ying led the army without much strong resistance. It was easy to attack the head of the city and open the gate. The troops outside the city rushed in.
When they learned that the south gate was broken, the will of the defenders was finally disintegrated. They rushed to the east and west gates that were not attacked on both sides, ready to break through.
Hua Yun had already led the cavalry to wait outside for a long time, and all the Tatars who rushed out to break out of the siege lost their lives.
At dusk, the remnants of the enemy were finally cleared. Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the high head of Chuzhou City, looking at the undulating mountains on all sides, and his heart was surging.
The battle will determine the universe. After that, your career will not only be limited to the narrow Anfeng Road, but also the whole rich south will step under your feet!
"Brother, Jiao Yu is lost." Feng Guo said.
As the last troops to enter the city, he found that the position where the shells were fired were empty. Except for the cannon that was still smoking, there was no trace of the soldiers. Where did Jiao Yu, who commanded the firing of the shells go?
He thought that Jiao Yu followed the army in, but he didn't find it everywhere, so he came to repay Zhu Yuanzhang.
Is Jiao Yu lost? This boy really can't stand it. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that maybe he didn't give Jiao Yu a good look and scared him when he was in the war. That's a war. If his artillery could blow up the city wall a few times, he would reduce his loss! Fortunately, I didn't put all the treasure on him at all.
"Let Hua Yun send a few cavalry to find Jiao Yu! By the way, move that cannon to the top of the city. Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Jiao Yu usually blames him for spoiling him too much. Now, he doesn't look good to him, so he doesn't work. This doesn't work. This time he comes back, he has to be well educated.
Jiao Yu did run away. He couldn't help running, not because he couldn't stand Zhu Yuanzhang's cold words, but that he finally found that Zhu Yuanzhang valued firearms, but he was eager to achieve success. He also blamed himself for taking the initiative to ask for it. If he didn't take out the cannon, he would not be stimulated by this kind of stimulation. The deeper reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang is completely a layman in firearms. The layman leads the expert. The ending is very sad. Three shots hit the target, which is already a great achievement. However, for Zhu Yuanzhang, it must be required to hit the first shot. How is this possible?
In addition, in his mind, only when the complete firepower suppresses the opponent can the siege force be used. Firepower is the key force. If the firemen of a thousand people can get closer to some walls and give full play to the power of the fire, they can completely suppress the crossbowmen at the head of the city, so as to raise the siege forces. For reliable cover, it is not like now. Although Chuzhou City has been taken down, thousands of lively soldiers have been sleeping in front of Chuzhou City forever.
Looking at the attacking troops attacking fiercely and looking at the corpses all over the ground, Jiao Yu's heart raised such a question: Even if she painstakingly developed advanced artillery, can she get enough space in the eldest brother's army? The eldest brother will always use firearms as a supporting role.
Jiao Yu took advantage of all the people in front, and he asked the soldiers who helped him make artillery to push forward, and he took an opportunity to turn away from the battlefield and quietly leave to the east.
Jiao Yu misunderstood Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang actually attached great importance to him. However, the separation was like a mountain. Zhu Yuanzhang did not pay enough attention to Jiao Yu, causing the two to finally go against each other.
In essence, Jiao Yu is not a soldier, but a technician. It is a little difficult to treat Jiao Yu with a set of treatment of soldiers. Jiao Yu finally left.
History has taken a great turning point here. Without the appearance of Zhang Yang's Tianque, Jiao Yu's firearm would be the most powerful hot weapon in this era. Without the comparison of Tianque's, Zhu Yuanzhang would not put pressure on him, which could calmly improve and improve the firearm, and finally let Zhu Yuanzhang's department The team has fire and artillery that others envy, and fights in the east and west, and it has always affected the Ming Dynasty to have a divine machine camp and a firearms bureau.
Jiao Yu wanted to go to Gaoyoufu to see if the fire gun that the eldest brother said could shoot accurately in 200 steps was true or false. Seeing is believing, and he has never believed it in his heart.
"Your lord, the latest news, the troops stationed in Yangzhou are ready to go to Chuzhou." In the government office of Gaoyou, Luo Guanzhong came back from Yangzhou and got accurate information.
Looking at Luo Guanzhong's tired face, Zhang Yang knew that he must have rushed back from Yangzhou overnight after looking for the exact news.
"Guanzhong, go back and have a rest. Thank you for your hard work this time." Zhang Yang said.
Watching Luo Guanzhong walk out of the door, Zhang Yang and Shi Nai'an behind him said, "I'm really lucky to invite Mr. Shi out of the mountain and invite an intelligence expert by the way."
"The master is flattered," Shi Nai'an said with a smile, "Follow me, that is, to learn some work in pen and ink. After following the master, he plays his role. In the hands of the master, everyone has been reused, which is the reason why the master's career can be steamed."
Zhang Yang smiled. I don't know if this sentence is flattering. Let's think about the future.
"Now that the army of Yangzhou has set out for Chuzhou, our imminent threat has been lifted." Zhang Yang said. Now Li Pu and Da Luhua, the governors sent by the province to Gaoyou Prefecture, are timid and timid. The biggest threat is that in case the news leaks, tens of thousands of troops in Yangzhou will flood in. At that time, it was really a headache. It's not that the current army can't cope with it, but that the opportunity to develop has been easily lost. The continuous war will ruin the fruits of the revolution. If the people get the land, they can't cultivate at ease, and they still have no food to eat.
"We are still worried about this. As a result, our neighbor Mr. Zhu helped us a lot." Zhang Yang then sighed that the last time he invited him to join the Red Turban Army, he did not agree. A few days later, he gave himself a big gift.
"Lord, our temporary threat has been eliminated, but we can't rest assured." Shi Nai'an said, "Zhu Yuanzhang captured Chuzhou and couldn't wait to capture Chuzhou. What does he want to do?"
"What are you doing? Expand the territory," Zhang Yang said, "We are all thinking about expanding the territory, and Mr. Zhu must be the same."
"It's more than that simple. Lord, in the south of Chuzhou, is Jiqing." Shi Nai'an said, "Zhu Yuanzhang certainly wants to expand his territory, and Chuzhou's geographical location is also relatively good. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, I think Zhu Yuanzhang's greater purpose is to attack Jiqing and get this feng shui treasure."
Feng Shui Treasure Land? What Zhang Yang has never believed is these doctrines. Do people with modern higher education still believe in these superstitions? However, if he doesn't believe it, it doesn't mean that people in this era don't believe it. People in this era believe it to death.
"Why is it a feng shui treasure?" Zhang Yang asked.
"First, Fan Li built Yuecheng, and then Sun Quan Dingdu Jianye. There are all Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin, and Song, Qi, Liang and Chen of the Southern Dynasties. They have all set the national capital here. Therefore, Jiqing has always been regarded as having the demeanor of a king. He captured here and established the capital here, which is the fate of fate." Shi Nai'an explained.
"I don't believe in fate. I only believe that people will win. Mr. Shi, we are separated from Mr. Zhu from Yangzhou. We can't stop the other party's plans. The most important thing for us is to develop our strength well to survive in this troubled world." Zhang Yang said.
It's just that Zhang Yang didn't know that this Jiqing was later named Ying Tian by Zhu Yuanzhang, and then Nanjing.
"Yes, the lord is right." Shi Nai'an said.
"Big brother, big brother. Catch a anniannium. Suddenly, a guard came in to report back.
Jing down? Zhang Yang asked, "How did you find the anni� thin one?"
"Brother, when we went to bed last night, we put all the Tianque on the shelf. When we got up today, we found that one was missing. Finally, we found a person in the woodshed and was dismantling our Tianque. Everyone beat him up and now he is locked in the woodshed." The guard said.
Disassembled in the woodshed? Zhang Yang is interested. This is definitely not a simple thief. If he is really a thief, he should leave the Gaoyou Mansion as soon as possible after stealing Tianque. Only a fool will happily dismantle Tianque in the firewood house less than 20 steps away from the stolen position? Or is this thief here to steal technology? Do you want to get through the technology of Tianque, and then quietly go back to imitate it? If that's the case, this thief is also a person who knows a lot about fire technology.
It's just that it's very difficult to steal the secrets of Tianque. The secret of Tianque is the bridle. The outside is exactly the same. The inside bridle is the key. Few people will take the initiative to carefully observe the inside of the bridle and find that the concave bridles. Even if they know it, they can't be imitated. The manufacturing process of the bridle is also very ingenious, unless they go to the base and observe themselves in person. Only those simple devices can be successfully imitated.
"Bring this person here." Zhang Yang said, where did this come from? You have to see for yourself.
The person who came was soon brought here. He was of medium height and his skin was a little fair, which was a little similar to the scholar who often did research in the room, but he was missing a pair of glasses and a blue-purple on his left face, which should be the "preferential treatment" in the morning.
"Untie the rope." Zhang Yang said.
Unlock it? The guard was a little hesitant. What if this man violently injured his eldest brother?
"Untie it quickly!" Zhang Yang said again. Brother, please sit down."
The guards no longer hesitated. In the future, the rope tied to the man was untied, and the person who came was rude and sat carelessly on the chair next to him.
"Dare to ask your brother's name? Come to Gaoyou Mansion. What's the matter? Zhang Yang asked, and his words were full of spring-like warmth.
Although he was beaten painfully in the face and punched a few times, Jiao Yu still arched his hand and said to Zhang Yang, "If you are a big man, you can't change your name, you can't change your surname. I'm Jiaoyu from Yingzhou."
Jiao Yu? Zhang Yang's face changed slightly. If he remembers correctly, Jiao Yu should have studied many kinds of firearms under Zhu Yuanzhang. What did he do here to do? Others are not worried. If he sees that Tianque's doorway is coming and Zhu Yuanzhang has the same weapon as himself, it will be dangerous.
No, since Jiao Yu saw it, he must not let him go! Zhang Yang made up his mind.
"It turned out to be the Jiao Yu brothers. I often heard that Mr. Zhu got a firearm talent, but I didn't have a chance to meet him. Today, when I see him, he is really a talent!" Zhang Yang said.
Jiao Yu, a talented person, gasped, and her face still hurt. These people beat themselves so hard! He couldn't help but be angry: "I'm here to find Zhang Shicheng. Which one of you is Zhang Shicheng?"
By saying this, Zhang Shicheng is very faceless. This guy is really a young man. Who is Zhang Shicheng? Don't you understand at this?
"This little brother, my lord's name is not called like that. Look at your brother, my lord is in front of you, and you are really above the top." Shi Nai'an said next to him that if he hadn't been a svenant, Shi Nai'an really wanted to scold him for being ignorant.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Yang was very open-minded: "I'm Zhang Shicheng. Why did you come to my Gaoyou Mansion? Haven't you been following Mr. Zhu?"
Are you Zhang Shicheng? Jiao Yu looked at him twice. Everyone was centered on him. It seemed that he was really.
"I make firearms. In my life, I have fun with firearms. I don't believe that some people's firearms are better than mine. I want to see them with my own eyes." Jiao Yu said.
Wow, you think you're an old man. You can see it if you want? He is such a self-restrained person as Shi Nai'an, and he can't help but want to curse.
Zhang Yang still said with a smile, "Since the Jiao Yu brothers want to see it, that's okay, but we have to make an appointment."
Although Jiao Yu is not polite to herself, she seems to be out of place in this era. However, in modern times, Zhang Yang has seen a lot of young people, rebellious and unyive people. It is also very simple to deal with these people. If you convince them, they will have a completely different attitude towards you.
"Good!"
"First, everyone who has seen the power of my fire, except his own people, only the dead tartar." Zhang Yang said, "So, if you see the power of my fire, either become my person or die."
Shi Nai'an was shocked. Lord, you are too cruel. In this way, how dare he see it, but it's good to scare him away everything.
Unexpectedly, Jiao Yu said, "Of course, but you have to guarantee that your fire is much more powerful than mine."
"Does shooting a fixed target within 300 steps count?" Zhang Yang asked.
Jiao Yu's face remained unchanged, or he did not believe at all that his fire can hit 150 steps. At this distance, he didn't know where the projectile flew at all. Three hundred steps, which was absolutely impossible. You know, even if it was a strong bow, it could only shoot dozens of steps away, and the crossbow machine was only a hundred steps away. When Zhu Yuanzhang told him at the beginning, he only mentioned that Zhang Shicheng's fire can shoot the target 200 steps away, adding 100 more steps out of thin air?
"Good, if I really hit, I'm willing to abide by the first condition."
"Second, if you want to see the power of my fire, you have to exchange it for something equivalent." Zhang Yang said, "Tianque has been studied by you. I want to know what else can you, a master of firearms, do." Especially the word 'master', Zhang Yang said in a very heavy tone.
"I know how to cast cannons." Jiao Yu said. He already knew that in Zhang Shicheng's army, the amount of fire gun equipment was quite large, but there were no artillery, which gave him a sense of superiority. At least in this respect, he was better than the person in front of him.
Cannon? Zhang Yang was overjoyed, but his face remained unchanged: "Okay, please follow me outside."
"Where's your third one?"
"Let's talk about it after you finish seeing it!" Zhang Yang said without looking back.
I'm afraid of what you will do! Jiao Yu also went out, and I didn't believe it. It's absolutely impossible for you to shoot the target in 300 steps!
