Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 512 There is a plan

When Liu Mu mentioned that these people were female soldiers, Li Jing waved his hand: "Don't worry, our Tang army has strict military regulations. I will send 100 soldiers to protect their safety. Whoever dares to approach their camp will be severely punished." Li Jing understood Liu Mu's worry, so he gave a guarantee in advance.

Liu Mu said again: "Brother Yao, I can't afford to equip every city in the frontier with flying reconnaissance cavalry. You are causing me a lot of trouble. It will take at least a year for these people to train. I don't think it takes at least one year to make those people. How much money do you spend, you say I am troublesome or not."

"No trouble, the issue of coins is a small problem." Li Jing replied nonchalantly.

After Liu Mu took Li Ji and Lao Lang back to Xishoujiang City, only one day later, he learned that Xieli's troops had started to change directions, and they were really coming to Xishoujiang City.

When Liu Mu got the news, Li Jing also got the news.

Waving his hand to signal the flying scouts who came to report to go down and rest, Li Jing said emotionally to the generals around him: "Within two hundred miles, everything is in the eyes of the flying scouts. The flying scouts can fly more than two hundred miles per hour, which is indeed a scout." Sharp weapon, I heard that there are two more that can fly up to [-] miles per hour, but no one is able to control it proficiently, it’s a pity.”

The data mentioned by Li Jing was obtained from Liu Mu.

Calculated according to the industry of later generations, the current use is only barely close to the specifications of the intermediate wing. If there is no way to make a breakthrough in materials, the cost of the advanced wing is too high.

Moreover, the operation of advanced wings is also more difficult. Without sufficient proficiency and experience, cross-country flight is no different from death.

Fortunately, this is a grassland. If it was a mountainous area, Liu Mu would never lend these people to Li Jing.

In Xishoujiang City, Die Wu, one of the best female assassins around Baoqin, had finished changing her costume and came to the only quasi-advanced wing with a scale of [-]:[-] brought here.

All without her hands, two assistants will help her make all the adjustments.

Then there was no need for her to run, two assistants raised her feet one by one from left to right, and then a dozen strong men in front pulled the long rope and started to run vigorously after giving an order.

After reaching a certain speed, the rider uses horsepower to pull another distance.

Taking off on flat ground requires assistance. In the blink of an eye, Diewu has reached a height of about five feet, and then loosens the rope and begins to accelerate the climb along the wind direction.

Stand on the ground and watch the hang glider slowly disappear from sight.

Li Ji said to Liu Mu: "Miss Diewu has learned the art of war. As long as she can bring back Xieli's marching formation at night, our chances of winning will increase by [-]%."

"Brother Mao Gong, do you think it was Xie Li who deliberately troubled me, or Brother Yao who cheated me." Liu Mu asked Li Ji.

Li Ji asked with a smile, "Did you cheat Liu Rengui?"

"These two things are completely different. I don't have an official position or a military position. What I bring out is a caravan. I don't have..." Liu Mu originally wanted to say that he had no obligation to fight on the front line.

But when the words came to his mouth, Liu Mu stopped.

Once in later generations, Liu Mu served as a soldier, even if he did not serve as a soldier, Liu Mu's education made him understand that everyone has the obligation to risk their lives to fight to protect the country.

At this time, I was in the Tang Dynasty, and I said that I was deeply gracious and trusted by Li Tang's royal family.When I was young, I was also Li Tang's clan.Is there any reason not to fight for your own Datang?

Li Ji smiled and handed a document to Liu Mu.

This is a report on the preparations of each regiment. It can be said that everyone has long been prepared for a bloody battle with the Turks.From the moment they left Chang'an with this so-called caravan, each of them was looking forward to a big battle.

"They want to make a difference."

"En." Liu Mu put away the paperwork, and his eyes changed: "Commander, the second regiment, let me check their equipment. I can only give them one chance, only one."

Li Ji became interested: "What kind of equipment is the second regiment?"

"It's all from my own family. Brother Maogong, let's take a look. If I have the money to equip thousands of these things, as long as the logistics are guaranteed, I can destroy Goguryeo today. But thousands of them are not difficult, and Datang's The logistics cannot support such a war. One blow, thirty pennies."

Willow is not talking nonsense, he is based on the depreciation of a cannon, the money for shells, and gunpowder.

This is not the cost of training personnel.

You know, all artillerymen must know how to read, and they can also calculate the shooting elements.

Moreover, a sight-distance binoculars is also a sky-high price for the era of Datang, and it takes as many test scraps as possible to make a successful pair.

In a barracks, ten soldiers were carefully cleaning and testing the cannon.

There are only three cannons in Liumu right now, and the cost is extremely huge. Such a large cannon must have no trachoma and no breakage during casting, and the craftsmanship of Datang is not far behind.

It's not that Liu Mu never thought of casting bronze cannons first, but he has never been exposed to copper cannon casting in later generations.

On the contrary, I have read a lot of information on iron mold cast iron guns.

After countless failures, the craftsmen continued to find ways to improve on the basis of the willow materials, and it took nearly two years to cast only three cannons.

Looking at this big black guy, although Li Ji didn't understand what it was, he could feel a sense of fear.

"Mu, what is this?"

Liu Mu came to the corner of the room and opened a wooden box. Liu Mu didn't grab the solid shell inside with one hand, but a long-trained artilleryman held it in front of Li Ji.

Only then did Liu Mu speak: "Shooting such an iron object is faster than an arrow, and can be shot at a distance of about [-] paces. Brother Maogong thinks that this object can kill people?"

Li Ji took the solid cannonball, thinking that it weighed about five catties and seemed to be made of lead.

Such a thing hits a person faster than an arrow, and the person is probably turned into a pile of rotten meat.

"I have a plan." Li Ji suddenly smiled.

"Invite Jieli closer, give him a guy." That's what Liu Mu originally thought.

But Li Ji shook his head: "I'm making a shell for this big guy, just use bamboo baskets and wooden boards to make it, and then make hundreds of shells and put it out together with this one. I can guarantee that Xieli will absolutely Don't dare to go five hundred steps below the city."

"No, what if Xieli is so stupid that he doesn't understand the horror of this thing and rushes forward?" Liu Mu asked back.

But Li Ji spread his hands: "This is up to you, you must have a way to scare Xieli."

Liu Mu shook his head vigorously: "No, I'm going to shoot Xie Li to death. You said that although I have a way, it costs too much money, and I'm scared that Xie Li will escape back to the Turkic Yat Tent. Then Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang's plan will fail, and they are doomed."

Li Ji looked at Liu Mu, and he believed that Liu Mu was more concerned about whether he could kill Jie Li with one shot.
