Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 935

Withdrawing to Jinying, Gushen remained silent.Lock yourself in a handsome tent and see no one.

Pucha Hu Zhan kept pacing outside the tent. When he saw Wanyan Mou coming over, he stepped forward and said: "The marshal locked himself in the tent and saw no one. This is not an option. Why don't we two enter the tent and invite the marshal?" Come out and take matters into your own hands. Even if you scold everyone, you can calm everyone's minds."

Wanyan Mouhui nodded: "Yes, today's defeat has made people panic. How can the marshal say nothing and see no one?"

The two people decided to come to the door of Ceres together.

Just as he was about to open the door, he heard a "squeak" and the door opened.Gu Shen came out, looked at the two of them and said, "What are you doing here?"

Wanyan Mouhui said: "Today's battle did not go well. The marshal stayed behind closed doors after he returned. I am afraid that the generals will be frightened, so I came to ask the marshal."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "After I come back, if I want to deal with the Song army's strategy, naturally I can't let anyone disturb me. Now the plan has been decided, you can just follow me."

After saying that, he entered the official hall and ordered the generals to be called.

Sitting down in the commander's position, Gu Shen watched Wanyan Tu and other generals enter the official hall and took their seats in their respective positions.Said: "In today's battle, everyone has seen that we are no match for the Song Army. Nearly 4000 people died in the first battle, so we can't try again."

After saying that, Gu Shen sighed: "If it were five years ago, the four thousand army would have been invincible, and it would have been unstoppable as far south as Xiangyang. But today is very different. 4000 people died in front of the battle. , silently. The Song Army today is no longer comparable to the Song Army a few years ago. You should be careful."

The generals said so.

Gu Shen said: "I can see clearly from the watchtower today that the most powerful weapon of the Song Army in front of the battle is the artillery. Once a gun is fired, it will destroy dozens of steps. Who can stop it? We also have artillery in the army, but they cannot go to the battlefield. This way How can this be done? In the days to come, we will try our best to allow artillery to go on the battlefield!"

Wanyan suddenly said: "Southerners are known for their dexterity. We can't compare to how delicate they make the same thing."

Gu Shen said: "This is a matter of life and death. If the craftsmanship is not good, then we must find a way. Even if we go to find southern craftsmen, we must do it at any cost. Only when artillery is on the battlefield can we be on par with the Song people and have the power to fight. !”

The generals hurriedly agreed.

Gushen looked at everyone and nodded.Said: "In addition to artillery, the Song Army also had one thing. I could see it clearly from the watchtower. When our army arrived in front of the formation, the Song Army suddenly threw an object at our army. As soon as the object fell to the ground, it suddenly exploded. It sprayed out fragments and hurt people. After the war, I looked at the bodies of the soldiers. Many fragments penetrated the armor and penetrated into the flesh, almost all of them were seriously injured. The sudden explosion frightened the soldiers. It was also possible to use the fragments to hurt people. have to!"

Pucha Hu Zhan said: "I asked people afterward, but no one knew what it was. I had never heard anyone mention it before. This time they fought with the Song Dynasty, and they suddenly used it on the front line. Many people came, so it should be It’s about having gunpowder buried in the iron shell.”

Gu Shen said: "Send more people to find out this thing. If this thing is not difficult to make, we must learn to do it."

At this point, Ceres sighed.Said: "The only plan now is to confront the Song people first and not attack them. Fortunately, there are not many Song troops, and they don't dare to attack us. Wait until everything is clear and the Yelu Supervisor Army arrives, then we can make plans to attack ." Yelu Yujian's army was mainly composed of Khitans and Xi people. With so many dead people on the front line, it was better to let them charge into the formation.In the past few years, Yelu Yuchi has become more and more powerful and increasingly disobedient.

In fact, for Gushen, it is not clear why the Song army did not take the initiative to attack.Logically speaking, the Song Army's battle base was absolutely superior and they could capture Taiyuan before they arrived.Even occupying Chitang Pass and Shiling Pass can prevent the God of Valley from entering the Taiyuan Basin.

Why didn't the Song army take the initiative to attack?Gu Shen thought of various reasons, but felt that he could not convince himself.In the end, I could only comfort myself that the Song army did not have enough troops and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.As for wanting to completely wipe out the Jin army's reinforcements, Gu Shen couldn't think of such a ridiculous reason.

Wang Ruohai hurriedly entered Wang Xiao's hunting office and said: "Xuanfu, this morning, the Jin army suddenly attacked Shi Rong's army formation!"

Wang Xiaolie raised his head: "What was the purpose of the Jin people? How many troops were dispatched in total? What was the result?"

Wang Ruohai said: "Shi Rong said that he could not see the purpose of the Jin army at all. He suddenly concentrated five thousand troops and attacked with all his strength. After a wave of attacks, more than three thousand of the five thousand troops were killed, and then they retreated. He I am confused and can’t figure out why Jin Jun is acting like this.”

Wang Xiaolie lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "When Gu Shen arrives in Taiyuan, the Jin army should fight with our army to let Gu Shen know what he is doing. However, with 5000 men for such a tentative attack, Gu Shen is really very generous. where!"

Wang Ruohai said: "This battle is indeed different. If it is a test, the Jin army sending out a thousand people will be a lot."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "In the first two battles, we captured Wanyan Benjian, and then captured Wanyan Yinshuke, which scared the Jin Army a little. These two people are ten thousand households of the Jin Army, and they are considered theirs. Backbone generals. Further up, there are people from the Marshal's Mansion such as Gu Shen. It is not outrageous to dispatch 5000 people in a battle."

Wang Ruohai nodded.Said: "In this battle, the Jin Army figured out our tactics, what will happen next?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Even if they figure out our tactics, the Jin Army can't think of a way to deal with it in a short time. And, so what if they come up with it? Weapons such as artillery and grenades are indeed very powerful on the front line. However, it is our system and soldiers, not weapons, that guarantee the combat effectiveness of our army. Sometimes, I really want to have a fight with the Jin Army with similar weapons. Let them understand what our current army looks like. "

Wang Ruohai said: "Having said that, the Jin army came up with a countermeasure, which will ultimately be detrimental to our army."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Don't worry about this. In fact, in my estimation, what really confuses the enemy is why our army has not attacked."

Wang Ruohai was stunned: "How do you say this?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Gu Shen should be able to see that our army actually has the upper hand. If we have the upper hand, why not take the initiative to attack? If we can defeat Wanyan Yuying before Gu Shen arrives in Taiyuan, occupy Taiyuan, and seal off Xinzhou Wouldn’t the situation be better if we take the road?”

Wang Ruohai nodded and said: "That's true. Xuanfu, will Gu Shen guess our purpose from this?"

Wang Xiaolie laughed: "Impossible! In the current situation, Nianhan thought he had the upper hand and wanted to annihilate us all around Taiyuan. Even if Gu Shen really wanted it, he wouldn't dare to think about it! Total annihilation The Jin army has more than 30 people, and even Gu Shen, who is so courageous, would not dare to think like this!"
