Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 495
The siege began.

The belated siege battle did not let the officers and soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.After all, the cannon on the front wall not only woke up Han Shizhong, but also broke the courage of the officers and soldiers.

In the face of the unknown, human beings are born with a strong fear, which is difficult to resolve through words, unless it is re-understood from the root.The kind of weapon that can make a huge roar and cause tragic damage at the same time, for most ordinary soldiers, far exceeds the limit they can understand. Even high-level officers, for thermal weapons, including artillery, fire The understanding of guns is only at the stage of legend.

Fortunately, those frightening firearms were not used at the beginning of the city. Facing the attack launched by the officers and soldiers timidly, the new capital city used traditional crossbows to counterattack.

Of course, this is what Liu Yi had agreed with Han Shizhong before, after all, the two sides were just acting.The use of firearms, on the one hand, caused unnecessary expenses, and on the other hand, it caused greater emotional damage to the officers and soldiers below.Liu Wei didn't hope that in the future, after the enemies below turned to him, there would still be a strong resentment in their hearts.

And Liu Wei has more long-term plans.With the mining of the iron ore on the Panxi Plateau having started, the blacksmith workshops in Xindu City are gradually entering full production with the continuous increase in manpower.Liu Wei's long-term plan is to completely transition the team under his command from cold weapons to hot weapons.

When facing your own people, you can also use cold weapons to take care of your feelings and emotions. Once you face foreign enemies, you should put all your energy into hot weapons and fight efficiently.

Therefore, keeping too much stock of cold weapons is of little significance to the Liu family army. Now that the entire army has decided to switch to hot weapons, let's consume some of the stock that should be consumed!Of course, it doesn't mean that cold weapons will not be used at all from now on. In Liu Wei's view, at least in the last ten years or even decades, he will not easily spread hot weapons.

In other words, even if Liu Wei unified the Central Plains in the future, or even expanded his influence to Dali, Tubo, Jin, Liao, and Mongolia, he did not intend to let the hot weapon manufacturing factories and crafts leave the new capital, at least while he was alive, Other forces must not be allowed to have hot weapons.

This epoch-making weapon can only be most effective if it is kept in its own hands. Liu Wei does not want to clear the field in advance when he goes out in the future, just because the hostile forces hold long-range sniper rifles in their hands!

Because there was an agreement between the commanders of the two sides, the siege battle was very peaceful. The officers and soldiers who had shadows in their hearts did not attack with all their strength. He was lazy, and after rushing for a long time, he still couldn't get close to the city wall of Xindu City!
Liu Wei, on the other hand, followed the predetermined plan to send the recruits who were undergoing recruit training to the top of the city. Such a "slow-paced" battle is really very suitable for recruits to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, and it is almost difficult to receive real recruits. s damage.

Compared with the nervousness of the recruits, the veterans on the top of the city felt a little bored.

They can neither fire guns nor fire guns, nor can they use rocket launchers. The veterans on the front line don't know the agreement between Liu Wei and Han Shizhong. Standing for a while without thinking, or squatting or sitting for a while to rest, and then stand up to take a look.

The whole day was spent in the foreign labor of both sides. When it was dark, the officers and soldiers called for gold and retreated early, and there was no intention of lighting up the night battle at all, so that the soldiers in the new capital were surprised and took a rest. .

In contrast, the ordinary people in the city were all excited.It's not that they are afraid or apprehensive, but they just feel that they can see Liu Jiajun's firearms show off their might again, and they will have a lot of talk in the future.

However, the battles for two consecutive days were so speechless. During the two days, the officers and soldiers didn't have a ladder to get on the top of the city. The efficiency and morale of such battles are probably not as good as that of the worst team in the imperial army. Not to mention the disappointment of the ordinary people in Xindu who were waiting to watch the fun, but more importantly, the dissatisfaction of the surveillance officials among the officers and soldiers who were waiting to "report their achievements" to the emperor!

One day like this, it can still be said to be Han Shizhong's strategy, but it has been like this for two consecutive days, so it has to be suspected that Han Shizhong is playing a trick.

Among the accompanying troops, the eunuch who supervised the army was the first one unable to sit still, and ran directly to Han Shizhong's camp, questioning Han Shizhong sharply.

Don't look at Han Shizhong's restraint in front of people like Zhao Gou and Liu Wei. After all, he is also a serious commander-in-chief, a general, how can he allow a good-natured eunuch to point fingers in front of him?

Even in the past, Han Shizhong did not show his face to the eunuch of the supervising army, not to mention that he had made up his mind at this time. If it wasn't because of the family in Lin'an Mansion, Han Shizhong might give an order if the dust had not yet settled. Now, let someone chop off the eunuch's head, as his vote!
Regarding the growling of the supervising army, Han Shizhong adopted a kind of ignorance, doing what he should do when he was supposed to do it, completely pretending that the old eunuch did not exist.His attitude completely annoyed the eunuch.As the emperor's confidant, since he will be sent to monitor a general like Han Shizhong, the identity of this old eunuch is also very important, and there are some news and information that even Han Shizhong doesn't know.

Seeing that Han Shizhong didn't take himself seriously at all, the old eunuch was also furious, pointing at Han Shizhong and shouting: "Why do you still think that you are the famous man in the eyes of the emperor, the invincible commander in the world? Han Liangchen, let me tell you , General Yue's army is not far away, if you dare to disobey the emperor, hehe, then don't blame the emperor for not remembering the past, our family can put down your military power and escort you back Lin'an, kill everyone!"

Not to mention, with the level of trust around Zhao Gou, as well as the old eunuch's identity and Han Shizhong's image in Zhao Gou's heart, what the old eunuch said is really possible.

"Well?"

After all, Han Shizhong reacted, not because he was worried that he would be deprived of military power by the imperial court. After all, he and Liang Hongyu pulled together the army under his command. It is not easy for others to take it away. Accepted, it was this old eunuch who dared to use his family to threaten Han Shizhong!

Tolerable or unbearable!
As a majestic seven-foot man, what Han Shizhong cares most about is his family!
"You want to destroy my nine clans?"

"Why. Don't you believe it? If you don't believe me, you can try it! Let me tell you honestly, the emperor has long felt your disobedience, and now General Yue's army is not far away. As long as the emperor gives an order, he can immediately arrest you Hiding under this new capital city, our family can’t do it, will Liu Weijun help you? Huh, what kind of a thing is Liu Wei? , if you fail to take down the new capital city within three days, our family will send a brochure to the emperor, and I will give you a book!"

"Good, good, good!"

He said hello three times in a row, but he yelled out the unwillingness in Han Shizhong's heart!He never expected that Zhao Gou had already started to guard against himself!The words from this eunuch's mouth should be true!About the whereabouts of the Yue Family Army, Han Shizhong had heard about it a long time ago. Fortunately, he thought that the Yue Family Army was going to wipe out the Jin Bing and Liu Family Army in Dasan Pass. He never thought that the Yue Family Army was coming for him, Han Shizhong.

Regardless of whether Yue Fei already regarded Han Shizhong as an enemy in his heart, at least in Zhao Gou's heart, Han Shizhong was already an untrustworthy person!
But wanting to understand this section, Han Shizhong couldn't help but start to worry again.

Since Zhao Gou didn't trust him, those family members who are now in Lin'an Mansion. Thinking of this, Han Shizhong ignored the dead eunuch who was still chattering, and quickly found his confidants, while secretly sending people to Lin'an. People went to find the liaison officer sent by Liu Wei.

Because of Han Shizhong's importance, Liu Wei's liaison officer staying here with Han's army is not a small person in the shadow team. Zhang Han, the deputy commander of the shadow team, recommended himself and stayed behind hiding his identity.

"Please rest assured, Master Han. My lord has already anticipated this situation, so he not only notified the manpower in Lin'an Mansion through carrier pigeons, but also sent a dark team with the strongest fighting power around his lord's house to respond. Back then, this With a force of 300 people, the Golden Bullet's [-] troops were forced to retreat, so the family members of your lord should be fine!"

"Master Liu sent such a team to pick up Han's family? Then Han is really flattered!" Hearing what Zhang Han said, Han Shizhong hurriedly clasped his fists in salute. Although Zhang Han did not do this, Han Shizhong felt that The importance of Zhang Han to Liu Wei, this intention to show Zhang Han, is similar to doing it to Liu Wei.

As Han Shizhong, and Zhang Han also served under Han Shizhong back then, how could he dare to accept Han Shizhong's great gift at this time, so he hurried forward to drag Han Shizhong up, saying repeatedly that this was what he should do.Liu Wei treats his subordinates very well. Under normal circumstances, whenever there is an opportunity, Liu Wei will try his best to avoid the worries of his subordinates. Even if it is an ordinary soldier, Liu Wei will try his best to arrange it.

It is precisely because of Liu Wei's attitude that the Liu family's army is so united. As the saying goes, "generals are not afraid of death", it is because they know why they died, and they have no worries.

In the same way, under Liu Wei's rule, he never worried about the source of soldiers. It was only because Liu Jiajun's treatment was obvious to all, and it was really an honor for the whole family to serve as soldiers, which made people who were willing to join the army flock to them.

"According to what you said, Han feels a lot more relaxed. I don't know if Yue Fei's side will really attack soon!"
