Monument Yangmen

Chapter 806 Brothers reunite
Thousands of birds fly away.

Only a loud gunshot remained.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who got the matchlock guns felt like a treasure.

After Yang Qi simply taught them shooting skills, they couldn't wait to start shooting.

With archery background, they can get started with matchlock guns much faster than ordinary people.

In just one day after getting the matchlock gun, many soldiers played the matchlock gun well.

After Huang Quan figured out the usage and range of the matchlock gun, he carried the matchlock gun and went to the barracks where Yang Qi was resting, frowning.

Inside the barracks.

Yang Qi was barefoot, sitting on a soft couch, half lying down, reading secret letters sent by scarecrows and volcanic guards from various places.

After Huang Quan entered the room led by Peng Pai, he knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Chen Huangquan sees His Majesty."

Hearing this, Yang Qi raised his head and glanced at Huang Quan, then put away the secret letter in his hand, put on his shoes and socks, sat upright, stroked his hands and said, "You don't need to be polite, get up."

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

Huang Quan stood up holding the matchlock gun. He had just opened his mouth but hadn't spoken yet.

He heard Yang Qi say with a half-smile: "You suddenly came to me with a matchlock gun, looking sad, but the matchlock gun is not as good as you want?"

Huang Quan was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "How did Your Majesty know?"

Yang Qi shook his head and laughed: "The range of this matchlock gun is about eighty feet. Although it can break through fish scale armor and chain mail, it may not be able to break through armor. But you Huang Quan is good at using copper bows and iron arrows. Inside, nothing can't be broken.

This matchlock gun with a range of only [-] feet is naturally not what you want. "

Huang Quan scratched his head in embarrassment, raised the matchlock gun in his hand, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this matchlock gun takes twenty breaths from filling gunpowder, loading iron bullets, lighting the twister, and shooting.

It takes only twenty breaths to fire once, and there is time for these twenty breaths.

With a bronze bow, I can shoot thirty arrows..."

Having said this, Huang Quan stopped, and then looked at Yang Qi helplessly.

Obviously, Huang Quan felt tasteless about the matchlock gun provided by Yang Qi.

Although Yang Qi had expected that Huang Quan would talk to him about this issue, he never expected that when Huang Quan really approached him to dig out this issue, seeing Huang Quan's little aggrieved expression, he actually had the urge to vomit blood.

Yang Qiqiang resisted the urge to drive Huang Quan out, and said with a dark face: "You Huang Quan is different from ordinary people and has infinite strength, so you just expect all the soldiers to be like you?
You are very capable, go and try to lift my Panlong stick with one hand. "

Huang Quan's expression froze, with a bitter face, his head drooped, and he said in a low voice, "I can't lift it..."

Yang Qi stared at Huang Quan, and scolded: "You Huang Quan can make bronze bows and iron arrows, but other soldiers can't use them. In this Shenji battalion, besides bed crossbows, heavy crossbows, and machine crossbows, there are more What is ordinary bow and arrow.

How far can a normal bow and arrow shoot?
It is within thirty feet of the sky.

How powerful is an ordinary bow and arrow?
Even if it's the best, it can only penetrate three layers of leather armor.

Although the matchlock gun reloads slowly, it has a longer range and greater lethality than ordinary bows and arrows.

The most important thing is that it is easy to carry.

A soldier carries a bow and arrows, at most three hundred arrows.

But if you carry iron bullets, you can bring more than 1000.

In comparison, which one is stronger and which one is weaker, I don't believe you can't tell. "

Huang Quan was scolded so badly that he drooped his head and couldn't say a word.

After a while, he stammered: "But loading..."

Yang Qi stared again, and asked: "How do the machine crossbow and heavy crossbow fire?"

Huang Quan murmured: "Divided into three sections..."

After only saying four words, Huang Quan suddenly raised his head and said excitedly, "I understand what to do."

Yang Qi didn't give Huang Quan a good look, and snorted coldly: "It's not too stupid, why don't you get out and train the soldiers for me."

"promise!"

Huang Quan replied, and ran out of Yang Qi's room in disgrace.

Yang Qi just shook his head and smiled wryly, letting Peng Pai stare at the training of the Shenji Camp, and never cared about the Shenji Camp.

There is no need for Yang Qi to explain to Huang Quan about the tactical tactics of the matchlock gun.

As a pure bow and crossbow soldiers and horses, they have the awareness of long-range combat and the tactics of long-range combat.

The emergence of muskets is only a substitute for bow and crossbow combat.

Its properties are superior to crossbows, but it does not mean that it needs a series of new tactics to match.

The tactics of crossbowmen can still be applied to musketeers.

Many people believe that foreigners are more advanced in the tactics of Musketeers.

In fact.

As early as the Qin Dynasty, some of the tactics used by the archers of the Qin Dynasty were enough to match the Musketeers.

At that time, foreigners were still wearing big underpants and calling Sparta.

Therefore, Yang Qi never thinks that foreigners are so great.

Many things that foreigners play, our ancestors are already tired of playing.

It's just that the descendants of later generations didn't live up to their expectations and didn't dig out the treasures left by our ancestors carefully.

Closer to home.

Huang Quan was intensively training the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, allowing them to quickly transform from crossbowmen to musketeers.

Yang Qi stayed in the barracks, reading the news sent by the Scarecrow and Huoshanwei from all over the place.

It has been more than half a month since Yang Qi felt the conspiracy until now.

The spies of Scarecrow and Volcanic Guard have also been busy for half a month.

Under the investigation of nearly [-] spies, basically nothing can be hidden from them.

The conspiracies of the Song and Liao countries surfaced in front of Yang Qi one by one, and finally weaved into a big net that engulfed the Southern Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom.

Yang Qi has thoroughly investigated the route of the two countries' advance, the deployment of troops, and the situation of their strength.

Yang Qi asked Peng Pai to take a map.

On the map, the routes of the two countries' advance and their backhands are outlined.

Yang Qi first drew a circle on the site of Zhejia in the northwest.

Write down Li Jiqian's name.

This hero who had disappeared for a long time actually jumped out at the end and gave him a little surprise.

But in Yang Qi's view, Li Jiqian is nothing to be afraid of.

When Li Jiqian was a strong soldier, he was beaten by him and the Zhe family and ran away.

Now there is a group of miscellaneous soldiers gathered. It seems that there are many people, but in fact they are completely vulnerable.

Facing the arrogant soldiers of the Zhe family, he could only continue to flee while being beaten.

So Li Jiqian is nothing to fear.

On the map again, Yang Qi highlighted four places: Dongsheng Mansion, Gubeikou, Yuguan, and Gangcheng.

This is the attack port where the Liao army was divided into four groups.

Whether it is Gubeikou or Yuguan, there are elite soldiers and horses sitting in the town. It is very difficult for the Liao people to break through these two places.

The biggest possibility is that the Liao army and the Yan State soldiers who raided these two places were at a stalemate.

So there is nothing to fear in these two places.

On the contrary, the two places of Dongsheng Mansion and Gangcheng are very dangerous.

Outside Dongsheng Mansion, there is a vast and endless grassland.

Liao cavalry can easily gallop on it.

Although there is an iron cavalry army led by Yang Wu in Dongsheng Mansion.

However, the mobility of cavalry is significantly worse than that of light cavalry.

After the two sides met, if the Liao army gave up confronting the cavalry army head-on, it could completely drag down the cavalry army through mobility.

Therefore, it seems that the iron cavalry guarding Dongcheng Mansion is not enough.

It stands to reason that the cavalry army under Shang Qingzi's command is the best soldier to support the cavalry army.

However, Shang Qingzi broke an arm and is now recuperating.

Without Shang Qingzi, the brave wolf leader.

The Rangers couldn't exert that kind of sturdy combat power.

The combat effectiveness of the Ranger Army has weakened, and it is obviously a bit difficult to face the Liao Army several times, and they have to be transferred.

It's just that Yang Qi was a little hesitant when mobilizing that army.

Can't pick a suitable candidate for a while.

Yang Qi temporarily put this question aside.

Put the target on the next center of gravity.

Harbor City.

Compared with Dongcheng Mansion, Hong Kong City appears to be weaker.

Except for the [-] newly built navy, there are basically no other soldiers on the coast of the first line of the port city.

The water army was newly built for less than a year, and it didn't have much combat effectiveness at all.

Not to mention facing the elite of the Liao people, even if they were facing a group of miscellaneous troops, they might not be able to defeat them.

The Liao army can easily break through the defense line of the navy, land on the coast, and attack Xiagang City.

However, Hong Kong City is very important in Yan Country.

Gangcheng is the first place to become prosperous in the territory of Yan Kingdom, except for the four northwestern prefectures.

It is bound to become the economic center of the next Yan State.

Once Hong Kong City is destroyed, the newly established commercial system in Hong Kong City may not be able to develop within three to five years.

Moreover, after the enemy has captured the port city, they can not only attack Yuguan from inside and outside, but can also drive straight in and approach Yanjing City.

This can be seen.

Port City is very important.

Yang Qi must defend the port city.

The [-] navy is unreliable, so they can only mobilize troops from other places.

At present, within the territory of Yan State, only the Zhentian Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Yan Army guarding Yanjing City are the only troops that can be mobilized.

Yang Qi planned to send Zhentianying to Gubeikou and Yuguan to help defend the city.

Then the only remaining soldiers and horses that can be used are the Shenji Battalion and the Yan Army guarding Yanjing City.

The captives in Yanjing City still need to be suppressed.

Therefore, there should not be too many troops mobilized from the Yan army.

Yang Qi calculated carefully, and the number of troops that could be separated from the Yan army was less than [-].

Plus ten thousand musketeers from the Shenji Battalion.

A total of 4 people have to defend the coast of nearly two hundred miles.

"Bah~"

Yang Qi dropped the pen, rubbed the center of his brows, and sighed, "It's still not enough..."

If the Liao people were not stupid, they would definitely launch heavy raids in Dongcheng Mansion and Hong Kong City.

And Yang Qi's manpower is obviously not enough.

When Yang Qi was thinking about where to distribute the soldiers, Peng Pai hurried into the room.

"His Majesty……"

"Ok?"

"The Great General, the Fifth General, and the Sixth General are here."

When Yang Qi heard this, a look of joy flashed across his face, "Invite them in quickly."

Peng Pai nodded, went out, and brought Yang Da, Yang Wu, and Yang Liu into the room.

"Your Majesty sees you..."

The three of Yang Da entered the room, without saying a word, bowed and saluted.

Yang Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, stepped forward to help Yang Da and the other three, and complained: "Three brothers, are you trying to disrespect me?"

Yang Da and the others looked at Yang Qi with excitement in their eyes.

Yang Liu jokingly said: "What is Geying? Although we are brothers, since ancient times, the court has not talked about brothers, but only about rulers and ministers. You are the ruler, we are ministers, and etiquette cannot be broken."

Yang Qi glanced at Yang Liu complainingly.

The three of them laughed out loud.

Yang Da stepped forward, patted Yang Qi's shoulder, and said excitedly: "You don't know, I heard that you were assassinated in Yanjing City and your life was dying. The three of us were in a hurry.

If I hadn't stopped you, your fifth elder brother would have brought someone to kill you in the Liao Kingdom.

When I got your letter before, my brothers still felt unreal.

Now that we see you standing in front of us alive and well, we are relieved. "

Yang Wu pursed his lips, and said flatly: "A good man doesn't live long, and he will be harmed for 1000 years..."

Yang Qi has no temper at all for his cold-faced and warm-hearted Fifth Brother.

"Three brothers, sit down and talk."

After the four brothers sat down.

Yang Qi directly started talking about the topic.

"This time, I invited the three elder brothers to come here specially, because I have important matters to discuss with the three elder brothers. Presumably the three elder brothers have heard some gossip on the way here, right?"

Yang Da nodded slowly, "I heard that the Song and Liao countries conspired together and planned to attack us."

Yang Qi said seriously: "This is not a rumor, but a fact. The troops of the Song and Liao countries have already set off. Take a look at this..."

Yang Qi led the three of them to the map, took out the secret letter found by the spies, and handed it to the three of them.

Yang Da and the others were looking at the map and the secret letter, and Yang Qi was not idle at the side.

He continued: "The Song Dynasty sent 50 troops, of which 15 were led by my father-in-law, Hu Yanzan, to contain the Cao family in Dali. Among them, 25 troops, led by Shi Shouxin, crossed Yongzhou and crossed Mang Mountain. Invasion of the Southern Kingdom. There are also [-] naval troops, led by the Jiangning Mansion regiment training envoys, to surprise the Southern Kingdom along the waterway.

Before that, I had already written to my second and third brothers, asking them to gather troops from the southern kingdom and prepare to meet the enemy at any time. "

Hearing this, Yang Liu murmured: "The soldiers and horses of the southern country are all the fierce soldiers who have followed us in the southern and northern wars these years. Especially the bureaucrats who came out of the mountains and forests are more powerful in fighting.

Although you issued an order for disarmament before, some people were abolished.

But as long as they are used in the army, they will quickly form an army.

In this way, the military strength of the Southern Kingdom is not weaker than that of the Song Kingdom.

The southern country has a special geographical location and complex landforms.

Song Jun was not familiar with the landforms of the southern country at all, but the soldiers and horses of the southern country were very familiar with it.

Therefore, in terms of fighting in the mountains, the Song army will not benefit from the southern country.

As long as the second and third brothers are not reckless, they will fight steadily.

The Song army could not take down the southern country. "

Yang Qi nodded slowly, "I think so too, so I have written to my second brother and third brother, and sent them the corresponding supplies. I am not worried about Nanguo, I am worried about Dongcheng Mansion and Hong Kong city."

Yang Qi told Yang Da and the other three in detail about the difficulties he had encountered before.

At this time, Yang Da also finished reading the map and secret letter.

Yang Da looked down at the marching routes of the Song and Liao countries, and sighed: "I never thought that one day, the Song and Liao countries would unite together. If the seventh brother didn't find out in advance, I'm afraid we will suffer a big loss this time."

　The next chapter may be a bit late... If you can't wait, don't stay up late, you can watch it tomorrow...
