Chapter 154 Martial Arts 1

Mr. Ding Duding, who participated in political affairs, opened the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in confusion. After finding the twelfth fire attack, he saw that Sun Wuzi, a martial artist, said this: there are five fire attacks: one is the fire man, the second is the fire accumulation, the third is the fire chariot, the fourth is the fire warehouse, and the fifth is the fire team.

It means that there are generally five forms of fire attack.

A fireman refers to the burning of enemy soldiers and horses. This kind of fire attack generally depends on the situation, whether it is the enemy burning on the ground or the enemy on the surface of the water. It should be applied flexibly.

The second fire accumulation refers to the burning of the enemy's grain and fodder. Once the grain is burned, the enemy is bound to be in chaos. There are clouds in the art of war. The first thing the army says before the grain and grass is that grain is very important. If there is no grain, the army will be unstable.

The three fires refer to the weight of burning the enemy. The weight is military supplies, including grain, quilts, weapons, armor, etc., which are provided by the rear and used to support the front-line combat troops every once in a while. If it is burned, it will have a great impact.

Its four fire depots refer to the burning of the enemy's warehouses. The army warehouses that go out to fight will generally store grain and fodder and heavy things. If they are burned, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Its five fire teams refer to the transportation channels and equipment that burn the enemy. This fire attack method is also an excellent tactic to fight the enemy's food and fodder.

Throughout these five methods of fire attack, Ding Du fell into deep thinking and a scene in the martial arts arena appeared in his mind from time to time.

It happened in the morning. Lord Su Susu, the minister of the General Equipment Department, took a hundred soldiers to demonstrate the newly built continuous firearms for His Majesty Renzong.

This gun is strangely shaped, like a long flute, but it is not a flute but an iron tube. This iron tube has a sharp star, that is, the mountain on the crossbow. Under the barrel, there are two iron legs, a famous gun frame, a pipa-shaped short wooden handle, and a famous stock. There is a round iron ring between the barrel and the stock, and there is an iron tooth trigger inside.

At that time, 300 wooden people were erected by your majesty's forbidden army on the martial arts arena. These wooden people were divided into two square arrays, namely, the foot army and the horse army. Each array was 150 wooden people. The wooden man of the foot soldier was wearing the best foot man armor of the dynasty, and half of the wooden man of the horseman was mud copper armor and half was black lacquer armor.

The two square arrays are 200 steps away from the low wall made of sandbags. The low wall of sandbags is three feet long and ten feet wide. There are two continuous fire guns on them, each loaded with 100 rounds of projectiles. Later, His Majesty said that it was not enough and added another 100 rounds, so that there were 200 rounds per shot.

Before the fire, Lord Su asked everyone to take a few steps back, saying that it would prevent your majesty and all the lords. Your Majesty said that it would be okay for him to be prepared. After that, he asked the servant to put the winter earmuffs on his head.

You don't know why. You stood aside and watched the joke. Unexpectedly, as soon as your majesty waved his hand, Lord Su immediately asked someone to fire.

The continuous musket suddenly exploded, like fried beans, but it was more like the firecrackers set off by every family in the first month. The sound was very loud, which made your ears hurt. They had to block their ears with their fingers, which made a lot less noise.

Next, what I saw was that the continuous muskets were like spraying fire, constantly shooting golden light, one by one was dazzling. Your Majesty looked at it and clapped his hands and said, saying that you would guess what the wooden people in the martial arts field would be like?

What can be done? At that time, all the adults disdained it, thinking that such a small skill was just a smile. Unexpectedly, after the gun stopped, Lord Su immediately asked someone to go to the field to check the wooden people.

Your Majesty's 300-hundden army ran into the hall neatly, checked one by one, came back to report to your majesty, and also presented those rotten armors.

Everyone was stunned when they saw it. The Privy Council made Lord Du Yandu immediately jump out to check the armor with his own hands, and found that my best step armor was actually broken. Many of them had been removed from the line, and the armor leaves were scattered on the ground.

The better ones are the mixed copper armor and black lacquer armor, but there are also thumb-sized holes on the top, at least one or two or more than a dozen.

What's wrong with this armor being broken? Those ministers who didn't know the military were still inexplicable. When they were talking about it, they were hit by Lord Hu Su of the Ministry of War and laughed and said, "The armor is used for body protection. Can the people inside still live if the armor is broken?"

The ministers didn't believe it and asked people to do it on the spot. Lord Hu said that this projectile is equivalent to an arrow of a crossbow. Who dares to try it? The armor has been pierced. How can people be safe and sound? Please ask the imperial army to move those wooden people here to have a look.

Sure enough, your majesty ordered the forbidden soldiers to move the 300 wooden men over. In front of everyone, Lord Du Yan ran to the wooden man and exclaimed again, saying, "What a powerful continuous fire gun, the bullet penetrates an inch deep into the wooden man. If the living man has to pierce the body."

Even if not everyone in the court knows about this march and battle, military weapons and armor, everyone is full of learning. As long as someone points out, they will immediately have an epiphany. Today, there happens to be a class of generals present, and Wang De, the Duke of Lu, is also here. After the investigation of these generals, these wooden people have indeed died.

It seems funny to say that the wooden man is dead. In fact, it is not. If the wooden man is killed by Su Dajin's continuous musket, can the living person be spared? Of course not.

I remember that Lord Zeng Gongliang said a sentence that benefited me very much at that time. Lord Zeng said, "If this gun comes out, the march from now on will be subverted, and the siege of the city and the land is even worse."

Yes, since the musket has been made, and your majesty has also seen the power, will my military workshop in the Song Dynasty also change?

Just as I was guessing by myself, His Majesty made a decree that there would be another musket workshop near Xiangfu Huangzhuang, with 20 pieces, each of which was specially responsible for manufacturing a kind of parts, which would be under the control of the new Lord Fubi.

This arrangement is very surprising. It's too unexpected. Usually, it is served by a left class in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Why did you suddenly change the son-in-law of Lord Yan Shu of the Ministry of Ceremonies? However, as soon as your Majesty's golden mouth is opened, I'm afraid that other ministers will not be able to object. What's more, in recent years, the errands of military inspectors are not easy to do. If it is a little sloppy. It will be impeached by the imperial historians. Some time ago, it was also said that Xingguofang had made rough armor to replace it as inferior. Unexpectedly, there was no such thing when it was sent to investigate. The imperial historians argued that it had been replaced, and it was known as soon as they went to the armor warehouse of the Sansiyan case.
