Chapter 572
Ma Shitou, whose feet hurt more than his head, finally had some ideas for his feet.
"Commander, I dare to ask, are the white soldiers really so afraid of rain today?" Ma Shitou asked seriously.
"Oh, Shitou, what do you mean?" Qin Liangyu asked in confusion.
"Commander, what does the last general mean, do white soldiers really not see any rain?" Ma Shitou began to become more and more serious, perhaps because he really thought of something profound.
"Here, stone, my white soldier said that I am afraid of rain. It is all related to firearms. If firearms get wet, their power will be greatly reduced. However, since I am afraid of rain, I naturally have certain means of preventing rain. What I am afraid of is actually heavy rain or light rain. Although it has an impact, it's not like they won't be able to fire..." Qin Liangyu explained carefully.
"Commander, that's enough. The general looks at the fighting style of the white-armed soldiers. Even if it's raining, it's not without means of defense. Last time I saw throwing grenades in the army formation, isn't it a good way of defense? Although muskets are afraid of rain, this grenade is not. Even if it rains, even if it rains heavily, it may not be so easy for the Tartars to attack the formation of white soldiers." Ma Shitou asked seriously.The last time the white soldiers fought against the Tartars, Ma Shitou was also watching the battle. He was quite impressed with the fighting methods of the white soldiers. Attack one by one, followed by muskets, grenades at the end, and bayonets at the end. It can be described as a comprehensive defense. Even if the musket link has problems due to rain, the other links are not so afraid of rain, especially bayonets and grenades. .
"...Besides, does it have no effect on the Tartars when it rains? Let alone the muddy ground, if the guns of the white soldiers can't fire, can the bows of the Tartars shoot out? If this happens, the Tartars will be exposed to the rain. Going forward, I’m afraid there’s not much to do other than fill the grenade hole with human life…” Ma Shitou seriously analyzed that if he wants to convince Mr. Sun Ge, he must first convince Qin Liangyu and the people present. Therefore, Ma Shitou It's a serious analysis.
"Well, that's the reason. Therefore, white soldiers are not afraid of a little rain, but they are afraid of heavy rain. They can't even fire grenades that are not so afraid of rain. Then there will be trouble..." Qin Liangyu is also Seriously explained, it can be seen that Mao Wenlong and Man Gui are willing to help him, so Ma Shitou came out to talk about the matter, which can also be regarded as a countermeasure for everyone to discuss not to retreat. Don't be afraid.
"No! Commander-in-Chief, the last general didn't see it that way." Ma Shitou said loudly seriously, as if he had discovered something wrong.
"Oh, Shitou, what's your opinion? If it's feasible, you might as well say it, and you all might as well discuss it..." Qin Liangyu followed this path and simply explained the matter.
"Commander, brothers and sisters, uncles and uncles, I think that white soldiers are afraid of rain and heavy rain. In today's special environment, it is not that there is nothing they can do. I have a preliminary battle plan here. I don't know if it will work, but if it works, brothers and sisters, uncles, don't forget to praise Shitou; if not, brothers and sisters, uncles, scold lightly,..." Ma Shitou also took the opportunity to break the words, and let everyone participate. The topic of not retreating, which was difficult for everyone to talk about before, was completely opened up, and brothers, sisters, and uncles were all called out incidentally, and the atmosphere suddenly became active.
"Shitou, just tell me what to do." Ma Xianglin couldn't wait, and asked, Ma Xianglin really didn't want to just leave like this, and if he missed this opportunity, they might be the ones who will destroy the East next year Mao Wenlong is right, some people in the court don’t do personnel affairs, and they have to bear a lot of responsibility for this kind of disturbance outside the customs. He, Ma Xianglin, doesn’t want to become Xiong Tingbi’s second.
As soon as Ma Xianglin opened his mouth, the atmosphere became even more lively. After the frustration just now was swept away, everyone echoed and asked, the camp immediately became noisy.
"That boy just said it, the boy thinks this way, we can actually take advantage of the night to forcibly approach the Tatar camp, as long as we get within five miles of the Tatar camp, the Tartars will never be safe." Ma Shitou seriously Said.
"Stone, how do you take advantage of the night? How do you approach the Tartar camp for five miles? This is not a joke. If it rains on the road or the Tartars intercept it, it is impossible..." In this noisy camp, Someone immediately asked back.
"Commander, let's not talk about the rain. I'll talk about this later, kid. Let's talk about what will happen if it doesn't rain..." Ma Shitou tried his best to explain his thoughts.
"Very good, let's continue." Qin Liangyu encouraged, now, she needs someone to open her mind.
"Commander, we just need to act as if we are storming the Tartar camp and rush all the way there. Commander-in-Chief, what will happen?" Ma Shitou said.
"The Tatars will definitely intercept me and prevent me from getting close to the Tartar camp. Besides, I will wait for the rain. If it rains on the way to the Tartar camp, the Tartars will definitely swarm me..." Qin Liangyu said.
"That's right, let's pretend to be desperate, and pretend that we are going to attack the Tartar camp before sunset. The Tartars will definitely come to intercept us, and stop us desperately. Forget it, kid, now we will fight against the Tartars." At the end of the hour, there are still two or three hours before dark, even if we go to Mr. Sun Ge's place for a round, it is enough for us to march to the Tartar camp, as long as we approach the Tartar camp during the dark Wuli, let's bombard him with the Hongyi cannon, and the Tartars will not be able to survive..." Ma Shitou said, but in a hurry, Ma Shitou's idea was still very jerky, and he could only think while talking.
"Not to mention the rain, the Tartars will definitely stop us from the camp. It is impossible for us to get close to the camp. As Shi Shi said, it will not be so easy to bombard the Tartars with the red cannon... ..." Qin Liangyu asked back, she has also considered these things.
"Commander, it is true that the Tatars will intercept us and not let us approach. If the commander-in-chief is the leader of the Tartars, he will think that it is safer to let us stay away from the Tatar camp, so that the red cannons cannot hit us?" Ma Shitou Seriously ask.
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of scolding immediately.
"Stone, why do you compare the commander-in-chief to a captive, shut up quickly..."
"Shitou, you..." A group of people scolded Ma Shitou. This metaphor is not appropriate, but everyone is also out of love. Although they scolded loudly, they did not have too much malice.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Shitou continued, this commander is here to be the captive chieftain, if this commander is a captive chieftain, the Ming army should be kept as far away from the camp as possible..." Qin Liangyu He said with a smile, playing the role of an enemy is nothing new, as it often happens in sand table games.
"Then what if our army has been attacking forward, desperately trying to rush to the Tartar camp before dark? How far does the commander-in-chief think we should at least stop our army?" Ma Shitou Also carefully deduced.
"Well, if this command is a captive chieftain, I'm afraid that at least the Ming army will be kept ten miles away..." Qin Liangyu thought about it. The range of the Hongyi cannon is five miles, and the limit is seven or eight miles, but it can fight There are not many Hongyi cannons that are seven or eight miles away. If the cannon is fired to the limit, the service life of the cannon will be reduced rapidly, and it is easy to explode. Generally, it is not necessary to fire in extreme ways. Therefore, this distance should be at least ten miles. If you get close, it will be troublesome.
"Okay! Since the commander-in-chief said it was ten miles away, my army camped ten miles away. It must be dark by this time, right?" Ma Shitou continued to ask.
"Yes, it should be dark." Qin Liangyu said.
"Commander, with today's weather, what will it look like once it gets dark?" Ma Shitou asked seriously.
"After dark today? I'm afraid you can't see your fingers. It's so dark during the day, let alone night, there's no stars and moonlight, and it's so dark, you can't see your fingers..." Qin Liangyu said.
"That's it, Commander-in-Chief, can the cavalry still charge in such a dark night? If our army attacks in the dark, what use is the Tartar cavalry?" Ma Shitou said, taking out something from his pocket , opened the cover, wrenched your fingers, and with a sound of "呵...", a self-igniting lamp was turned on.
Everyone looked at Ma Shitou in amazement, not knowing what was going on, and even more amazed at the self-igniting lamp.
"What does the stone mean? Night battle?" Qin Liangyu asked in surprise.
"That's right, Commander-in-Chief, it's a night battle. I think our army has countless self-igniting lamps and countless horse lanterns. It can be said that it is effortless to light the lamps. It is also effortless to extinguish the lamps instantly. There are two things. The night is in our army. It is no different from daytime, so why not fight at night? Even thinking about the Tartars, I am afraid that our army will suddenly fight at night in the dark night, right? As long as we advance five miles forward, we should be able to reach the Tartar camp. Therefore, Shitou said earlier that the Tartar camp should be bombarded with red cannons..." Ma Shitou said seriously.
As soon as this night battle was spoken, it immediately attracted everyone's discussion. This is indeed a very challenging idea. Since ancient times, there have been few night battles in wars. Because of the lack of sight, many command methods cannot be used. Unreliable, you can beat gongs and drums, and the enemy can too. Therefore, fighting at night is too easy to cause chaos. Once there is chaos, it will be worse than bad. See who is worse and who will die first. The consequences are really unpredictable , Therefore, generally do not fight at night.
"Shitou, although our white-armed soldiers also train night battles, such large-scale night battles have never been seen since ancient times!" Qin Liangyu was also surprised by Ma Shitou's open thinking. The consensus among the leaders, in their minds, is that there is indeed some certainty. Although the white soldiers also have a certain degree of night combat training, they all march at night and attack the camp at night. If the whole army is suppressed in night combat, Qin Liangyu is really good. Never thought about it, and never had a chance to do it.
"Yeah! Shitou, although your idea is strange, night battles are too dangerous. If one is not good, you will lose everything!" Some people also said that night battles have been avoided since ancient times. It's too chaotic, and it's very prone to accidents. Now Da Ming has the most chances of winning, so don't make it to the end. If you lose in a daze, it will be miserable. Although what Ma Shitou said has some truth, but everyone who has not been tested in night battles , still has a lot of doubts.
"Yeah! Stone, it's okay to march at night, but it's too difficult to fight at night. We are infantry. Once the formation is broken up by the Tartar cavalry, it will be over..." Another general said, and everyone agreed I know that Ma Shitou is for the good of the commander-in-chief, for the benefit of the white soldiers, and for the good of everyone. Therefore, although he opposes Ma Shitou, there are no bitter people.
"Brothers, sisters, uncles and uncles, in such a dark night, how many cavalry do the Tartars have? From my boy's point of view, they are all infantry. Could it be that the Tartars dare to charge on horseback in such a dark night? Are they not afraid of falling to their death? Therefore, Only the boy said that taking advantage of the night, taking advantage of the night, turning all the Tartar cavalry into infantry, wouldn't it be easy to fight like this?" Ma Shitou said with a strange smile.
"Coax..." Everyone immediately burst into laughter when they heard this. There is some truth in this statement. Many people's thinking is inertial. They think that the Tartars are cavalry, and they will always be cavalry. But at a special moment, the cavalry, Once the Tartars became pawns..., many people's eyes began to light up.
"...Shitou, it makes sense. In such a dark night, the Tartars' cavalry might not be able to come out. It's really invisible! However, the Tartars can light torches..." Someone asked.
"No, the kid thinks that even if you light a torch tonight, it won't be able to illuminate three feet in front of you. If you want to charge with a torch, this is undoubtedly a joke. Besides, charging with a torch, isn't it courting death? Isn't it a living target? I just want to Just ambush a group of people and throw grenades, how many people will die?..." Ma Shitou said.
Everyone really became quiet now. After Ma Shitou said this, this seemingly impossible matter has some possibilities, and they all began to ponder the feasibility of this matter.
"Then, Stone, what if the Tartars try their best to break in in the dark? The surrounding area of the Tartar camp is flat, that is to say, the terrain of the Tartar camp is just a little bit higher... Don't forget, a good rider is a It can be blindfolded..." Ma Xianglin asked.
"Brother Ma, we have to start with the terrain around the Tartar camp. I have seen the situation around the Tartar camp and know a lot about it. This large piece of land is indeed flat. However, it is not the same as the flat grassland on the grassland. If I remember correctly, it used to be a castle called Gaojiabao. The years of war were severe, so the fields and fortresses were also abandoned. Although the fortresses and fields were all abandoned, the ridges of the fields were still there, the ditches were still there, and some trees were still there. Under this kind of terrain, there is no problem during the day. But at night, if you want to pass by on horseback, you may just fall to your death. There are not many places that can be discredited, that is, a few stepped roads. You only need to send people to set up ambushes on these roads in the dark, or Just digging some horseshoe pits on the road in the dark, and throwing some horses, is enough to make the Tartars dare not smear them..." Ma Shitou said seriously. [The horseshoe pit is very small, not a horse pit. There are many mouse holes on the grassland. If the horse is not careful, it will often sprain the horse's feet, causing people and horses to fall. This is the reason. The function of the horseshoe pit is to sprain the horse's feet and let the horse Fall, so as to achieve the effect of delaying the charge of the enemy cavalry. 】
"This also seems to make sense..." Ma Xianglin said.
Everyone also fell into deep thought. Although the night battle is not good for themselves, it is even more bad for the Tartars. Taking advantage of the darkness and using some tricks, the Tartar cavalry cannot charge. If they want to attack, they can only dismount. Dismounted Cavalry, that's really not as good as infantry, the Ming Dynasty really didn't pay attention to Tartar infantry, didn't they beat them to death?Think about how frightening a grenade suddenly flew out in the dark night?Even if you know where to throw it, so what, if you want to run forward, you don't know how many times you will fall to your death?
"Commander, look at the last general. What the stone said makes sense. Let's give it a try. As long as we get closer to the Tartar camp for ten miles, our chance will come. In such a dark night, we will run outside the Tartar camp. You can't even see the Tartars. Digging some horseshoe holes, throwing some hooves, and repelling the horses are enough to stop the Tartars. As long as we approach the Tartar camp within five miles, the Tartar camp will be within our blows , to be able to destroy the Tartar camp, that is a miracle!" Someone also said.
Everyone clamored to give it a try, and most of them were unwilling to leave like this. After all, miraculous achievements were right in front of them.
Qin Liangyu was also tempted, and has been looking for some excuses to stay. Now, he finally found some, but after all, this is still a bit far-fetched, and the reasons are not sufficient. There is another problem, which has never been solved. The problem of what to do when it rains .
"Everyone, be quiet!" Qin Liangyu, who had figured it out, asked everyone to be quiet.
Shuai Zhang immediately quieted down.
"Stone, even if we can get close to the Tartars for ten miles, even if we can fight at night, even if we can take advantage of the darkness to keep the Tartars from leaving the camp, what if it rains? If we don't solve this problem, it will always be unsafe for the army to be outside." Qin Liangyu said that rain has always been the key problem leading to the return to Sancha River.
"Returning to the commander-in-chief, in fact, even if we encounter tartars on the road, so what, I believe that with the ability of white soldiers, it can be easily done for an hour, right? Brothers, sisters, uncles, think about it, now It’s the beginning of Weishi [one o’clock in the afternoon], let’s persuade Mr. Ge, make a transfer from Mr. Ge, and go to the end of Weishi at most [three o’clock in the afternoon], and set off for the Tartar camp at the end of Weishi. At the end of Youshi, the sky is completely dark [seven o'clock in the evening], and it is only two hours. Within these two hours, even if it rains, even if the Tartars attack, as long as you stand up and defend, it should not be difficult to defend until dark Right? When it gets dark, what else can the Tartars do but retreat? Don’t forget, everyone, what kind of weather is it like today? At night, it’s really impossible to see your fingers. So, the white soldiers go to attack the Tartars Zi Daying, what I'm really afraid of is actually the hour of Shenshi. As long as it doesn't rain at Shenshi, no, it doesn't rain heavily, then at other times, even if it rains, as long as it's dark, it doesn't matter. In this way, our army You can take advantage of the night to reach the Tartar camp. As long as you can reach the Tartar camp, or push it overnight, or wait until the next day, it will be me, and we will win this battle, no matter what. I know if what the kid said is right..." Ma Shitou said, and he was about to understand something. White soldiers are not completely afraid of rain. In this kind of cloudy weather, they are like this during the day, and at night, they are even more invisible. Clearly, that's a serious thing. It's impossible for the Tartars to attack under this kind of weather. They even have trouble riding horses. They don't know when they hit something. Therefore, if they really want to attack the Tartars In the camp, I was afraid that it would rain at this hour of Shenshi, and be surrounded by the Tartars, which might be worse. However, as long as it persisted until dark, the Tartars still had nothing to do, and a battle of this scale was obviously impossible. The white soldiers will be dealt with within an hour, so in fact, the hope of attacking the Tartar camp is still very high.
"Om..." As soon as Ma Shitou finished speaking, everyone began to discuss again. This is very new. There are still two or three hours until dark, and one hour is used to ask Mr. Sun Ge for instructions and to persuade Mr. Sun Ge , two hours is enough to rush on the road. If it doesn't rain in Shenshi, this battle is somewhat possible. After Shenshi, even if it rains, it doesn't matter. It will be dark soon. After a short defense, the enemy It is impossible to attack.
"Commander, from the point of view of my subordinates, what Shishi said is indeed reasonable. The Tartars just want to use the rain to restrain our army's firearms. If it doesn't rain, the Tartars may not seriously intercept our army. Even if it rains Rain, I'm afraid the Tartars may not be able to cause any harm to our army, as long as it is dark, our army's chances of winning will be great, and it is not in vain for the commander-in-chief to travel thousands of miles to Liaodong." Mao Wenlong said, Mao Wenlong He also didn't want Qin Liangyu to leave just like that. He would have a hard time if Qin Liangyu left. People who come next time may not be as knowledgeable about military affairs as Qin Liangyu. He was sent to die on the battlefield, so Mao Wenlong was still under pressure. If he didn't beat the Tartar this time, he would be in great danger if he lost his temper.
"Hey..., although there is some truth in these words, I'm afraid it won't work to convince the old man with these words!" Although Qin Liangyu really hoped to fight the Tartar camp, he still felt that these words were a bit lacking , Not convincing enough, even if it didn't rain today, even if you can resist it, but it will rain tomorrow?What should I do?There are 6 or [-] Tartars, and even though they lost a lot in the chaos at night, they are still capable of crushing the white soldiers in terms of strength.
Qin Liangyu's words chilled the people present again. Although Ma Shitou's words were somewhat novel, overall, they were still too risky and might not be able to persuade Mr. Sun Ge. I want to do this, and I support this idea, but when I compare it in my heart, I still feel that my certainty is too small, not that my certainty of beating the Tartars is too small, but my certainty of persuading Mr. Sun Ge is too small.The scene was a little bit colder.
"Commander, I have a way to impress Mr. Ge..." An official who had been silent at the side spoke.
"Oh, Staff Officer Zhang, what can you do?" Qin Liangyu asked in surprise, this Staff Officer Zhang was Mao Wenlong's staff officer.
"The commander-in-chief must have heard about hot air balloons, right?" Staff officer Zhang is Mao Wenlong's staff officer. He has defended Zhenjiang Fort with Mao Wenlong, and he can be regarded as a powerful person with Mao Wenlong. What he said immediately surprised many people. !Especially senior generals like Qin Liangyu, Mao Wenlong and Man Gui.
"Hot air balloon? Staff Officer Zhang, I have heard of it, but the one that was let go in the capital?" Someone immediately asked, this hot air balloon is also a hot topic, after all, people can go to the sky, which is quite a heaven-defying thing Yes, but many people talk about it, even though it has been such a long time, they are still talked about.
Everyone else has only heard about the hot air balloon going up to the sky, but there are a few people who know more about the inside story.Hot air balloons have always been prepared as a trump card in war, ready to be used when there is a stalemate or a final decision. Last year, Mao Wenlong guarded Zhenjiang Fort, and he was prepared to use it as a trump card. Mao Wenlong was captured, and he even had a plan to escape from Zhenjiang Fort by hot air balloon. This is one of the reasons why Mao Wenlong dared to defend Zhenjiang Fort. Unfortunately, the timely appearance of warships made this new weapon no chance to stand out. This is a secret weapon that is kept secret, so there has never been a chance to show off its demeanor. Until today, when Staff Officer Zhang mentioned it, these generals took this most mysterious thing to heart again.
Qin Liangyu, Mao Wenlong, Man Gui and one or two others all looked at Staff Officer Zhang in surprise.The rest of the generals were happily talking about the magic of the hot air balloon, and the two expressions were quite distinct.
"Staff Zhang, what do you mean? Are you going to use that thing?" Qin Liangyu asked in surprise. This weapon is a new type of flying weapon, and it is the most core and most secret thing.It cannot be used until it is absolutely necessary, until it is against the sky, and until the final decision is made. This is what the emperor and Mr. Sun Ge have repeatedly explained.
"Exactly, Commander-in-Chief, I didn't intend to use this at first, and I couldn't use it. However, with the words of today's stone, if our army can approach the Tartar camp for ten miles, we can use this kind of artifact under the cover of night." , I have seen it, the southeast wind blowing from the sea has been blowing recently, as long as you get close to the Tartar camp, once you release this kind of artifact, it will definitely burn the Tartar camp to the ground. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Tartars and attacking in formation, the Tartar camp can be captured in one fell swoop. Even if the Tartar camp cannot be captured, the food and grass of the Tartars must have been burned to the ground. How can the Tartars who have no food and grass Interested in fighting with the commander-in-chief?" Staff Officer Zhang said mysteriously, his eyes were full of fanaticism, and he was unwilling to reveal this secret weapon so quickly before, but Ma Shitou brought the topic ten miles away from the Tartar camp , then this secret weapon will come in handy.
"This..., but it's night now, can this artifact be used?" Qin Liangyu hesitated, she was not very familiar with this thing, she only knew about such a thing, had no actual combat experience, and didn't know the effect.
"Officer Huang, what do you think?" Staff Officer Zhang didn't answer Qin Liangyu's words directly, but asked the staff officer assigned to the white-armed soldiers by the staff department. His surname was Huang, so he was called Staff Officer Huang.
"It's doable! However, I'm afraid there won't be enough hot air balloons for you and me. The total number should not exceed 100. If you can get Elder Sun Ge's support, where can you find the prepared ones and make up more than 100?" The hot air balloon, with overwhelming power, can burn the tartar to the ground, that's okay!" Now that the matter has been discussed, this staff officer surnamed Huang is also a ruthless person, the hot air balloon united by the two companies is still Not enough, and I plan to burn more than [-] hot air balloons to the sky, and pile up the tartars with hot air balloons.These staff officers, in fact, are quite embarrassing. Because the staff department has been established for a short time, it has no credit or record. In many troops, being looked down upon by others is more of a superficial respect.For example, although he is respected among the white soldiers, others always have opinions on them, thinking that they are military supervisors, and have strange eyes on them. This is the embarrassment of these staff officers. The staff officer is okay, at least he has experienced the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, he has experienced the test of life and death, and Mao Wenlong's side can be regarded as a good one, but he has not yet achieved a good record. Therefore, when Staff Officer Zhang mentioned this matter, he I just wanted to take advantage of this incident to open up the reputation of the staff and the staff, and use this to improve the record, so I had the rhetoric of burning more than [-] hot air balloons at a time.
All the people in the camp came to their senses and looked at those few people in surprise. What did they mean?I don't understand, but looking at the faces of the coaches, the surprise is probably a big deal, so they all calm down and listen carefully.
"This... is it feasible?" Qin Liangyu's tone was a little excited. If such an artifact could help her, it would be great.
"Going back to the commander-in-chief, there should be no problem. Today's weather is cloudy, the wind is light, and the southeast wind is blowing. It can be released. It is not appropriate to cast it at night. It is difficult to find the target. However, it also happens that the Tartar camp must be at night. It's not difficult to find him under the bright lights. The Tartar camp, which stretches for several miles, is a natural target. You only need to get close to the Tartars within ten miles, preferably five or six miles. Lifting into the sky will definitely burn the Tartar camp to the ground..." Staff officer surnamed Huang replied fiercely, with great confidence in his words.
"Well, how many things can the hot air balloon carry? I'm afraid it won't be able to burn many things. The Tartar camp stretches for several miles. Even if more than a hundred hot air balloons are launched into the sky, I'm afraid it will cause some chaos to the Tartars. After the chaos is over, if you settle down, don’t you want to lose these hot air balloons in vain.” Man Gui’s team did not have such a special team, so although he knew something, he didn’t know the details, so he asked worriedly.
"The governor is overthinking. After the next officer demonstrates it to the governor, the governor will know why he is so confident." Staff Officer Huang said with great confidence. After speaking, he smiled at Mao Wenlong's staff officer.
Everyone looked at these people in surprise, not knowing what they were talking about.
Not long after the staff surnamed Huang went out, the staff surnamed Zhang said: "Commander, this place is not safe for inspection, please move the commander..." Staff surnamed Zhang naturally knew what this staff surnamed Huang was going to get, so he reminded him in advance.
"Okay! Let's go outside and have a look. Why is this artifact called an artifact..." Qin Liangyu gained confidence. This thing, the emperor and Mr. Sun Ge, have been explaining it all the time. Use it carefully. Once it is used, it will definitely shake the world. Now, see The staff officers who are in charge of this thing can't help but want to use this thing themselves, and they are also curious about its power.
When everyone came outside, the soldiers outside were still talking loudly about today's victory. It was so easy. After a burst of cannon fire, they rushed over and beat the Tartars to the ground. It was really enjoyable.Seeing that the coaches have all made handsome accounts, they all looked over curiously.
"Commander-in-Chief, please give me an order to get everyone to stand apart so as not to get hurt..." Staff Officer Zhang kindly reminded again that the power of this weapon is really terrifying. Staff Officer Zhang was excited, with eyes full of A trace of fear, when he first saw this weapon, he was also terrified.
"Everyone, stand back, don't get hurt, this thing is very powerful..." Qin Liangyu quickly ordered people to stand back, and the circle surrounded by everyone expanded again.
After a while, the staff officer surnamed Huang came back, found a few iron pots and put them among the crowd, and the crowd watched from a distance. Behind the staff officer surnamed Huang, there were a few soldiers, carrying some strange pots in their hands. , slightly larger than the salt and oil tanks in ordinary people's homes.
"Commander-in-chief, let's start!" the staff officer surnamed Huang said.
"Well, let's get started!" Qin Liangyu said excitedly, with a smile on his mouth. If the effect is good, that is to say, if there is enough rhetoric to impress Mr. Sun Ge, that is to say, the Tatars are destined to lose to her this time. In his hands, he is doomed to suffer a big loss.
The staff officer surnamed Huang waved at the soldiers holding the jars, and those soldiers threw the ceramic jars into the pile of iron pans from a distance, and the ceramic jars immediately smashed onto the iron pans, What flowed out was something that had never been seen before.
"Smell of lamp oil?" The smell of lamp oil smelled by someone.
"Smell of wine?" Someone smelled the wine.
Everyone was wondering, those soldiers took out the self-igniting lamp again, lit the cloth strip on the last ceramic pot, and quickly threw it into the pile of iron pots.
With a sound of "Boom...", the pile of iron pots burned violently, the momentum was frightening, and the heat wave was overwhelming.
Everyone exclaimed, it's too hot for such a long distance.
"This iron pot can burn, it's really amazing..." Someone saw that it can burn without firewood, and it's still so hot, it's really a bit magical.
"With kerosene, of course it can be burned..." Someone smelled the unique smell of kerosene and became an expert in explaining.However, several staff officers ignored them, but concentrated on watching the burning scene.
Soon, some parts of the iron pot were burnt red.
"Water..." the staff officer surnamed Huang calmly shouted.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the fire was really powerful, and it could burn up on an iron pan. If this kind of thing was thrown into the sky to burn the enemy's food and grass, it would definitely burn it all. No wonder they were so loud.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a soldier poured a bucket of water on the burning fire from a distance.
"Zi...Boom...Zi..." The fire burned violently, making a loud sizzle sound, and the flames rushed high.
The people around were amazed again!The heart that had just been let go raised its throat again.
A little far away, the soldiers who were resting were also looking at what they were doing here, when they suddenly saw a flame bursting out from Lao Gao, they stood up in shock, and couldn't help saying: "Oh..."
The scene froze in an instant. The bucket of water went down, and the fire was not only not extinguished, but it was even bigger. The flames of Lao Gao burst into flames. Everyone looked at the fire and lost the ability to speak.
"Splash again..." the staff officer surnamed Huang shouted again calmly.
This time, several soldiers did not have a bucket of water, but several buckets of water, and poured them on the fire one after another. Without exception, the flames did not go out, but grew higher. Water was poured on those iron pots. , It flowed out again, and the ground was already full of water. It was incredible that the fire was still burning high.
No matter whether they were generals or soldiers, they were all stunned when they saw this astonishing scene, and many of them forgot to close their mouths.
At this time, several staff officers smiled with satisfaction.
After a while, the fire gradually became smaller and gradually extinguished.Only then did everyone start to come to their senses.A soldier went forward and completely extinguished the sparks with water, and lifted the iron pot, which had been deformed by the heat.
"This is really a god. It is not afraid of water. If you use this kind of thing to burn the food and grass of the Tartars, the Tartars will cry to death..." Man Gui was so surprised that he spoke first. This is really a good thing.
"The governor is right. This thing is a fetish for burning the enemy's grain and grass. Once it gets on the enemy's grain and grass, it is almost indestructible unless it is burned clean. Even if it is water, it cannot be extinguished. Therefore, once the heat The balloon went up to the sky, and then dropped this object on the Tartars' heads. The officials dare to conclude that the Tartars' camp must be panic-stricken. If the commander-in-chief takes advantage of the chaos of the Tartars and moves to attack, it can almost be said that he will win..." Staff officer surnamed Huang said with bright eyes.
"Oh! This thing is truly a divine weapon. To fight against the enemy with this thing, the Tartars should be punished. Even if our army does not go to cover up and kill them, it will be burned down overnight. In the chaos, there will be countless casualties. It is better than a fierce battle! It's amazing! , Amazing!" Qin Liangyu said with emotion.
"The commander-in-chief is right, this thing, in addition to being able to burn, also has a smoking thing. If it is burned together with a grenade, it will really set fire to the camp. The enemy has nowhere to escape. It is easy to burn the Tartar camp! "The staff surnamed Zhang said with a smile.
"Consul Zhang, how can we ensure that this thing can just float on the tartar's head? Isn't it invisible at night? What if it floats on your own head, what should you do?" Ma Shitou was also shocked by this kind of thing. , asked weakly.
"Hehe, the stone is too much to worry about. At night, the Tartar camp is like a big torch in the night, which just points out the direction for us. How could we be wrong? As long as the hot air balloon takes off, my camp will be made of lights. It has a special shape, so naturally you don't have to worry about burning it." Staff officer surnamed Zhang explained with a smile.
"But, what if the Tartars turn off the lights? So what?" Ma Shitou asked again.
"It doesn't matter. It's dark today. As long as there is a little noise, how can the Tartars not light the lamps? Once the Tartars light up the lights, the camp that stretches for several miles can be seen for tens of miles. How can they be wrong? After I fly into the sky and drop the fetish, it’s useless for the Tartars to turn off the lights, besides, there are lights in my camp as guides, so they can’t be burned wrong…” Staff Officer Zhang said with a smile.
"Commander Zhang is right. This thing is really a divine weapon. Since Staff Officer Zhang is so confident, let's do it accordingly. If you don't object, then the commander will report the matter to Elder Ge as soon as possible. Please support the elders with a fire and burn all the tartars!" Qin Liangyu didn't hesitate any longer, this was a golden opportunity, and if he missed this opportunity, he might never have the chance to come back.
"The last general agrees!" All the generals immediately agreed with a smile.
Qin Liangyu quickly returned to the commander's tent, quickly wrote the letter of "borrowing fire", and at the same time wrote how he approached the Tartars for ten miles, and analyzed that even if it rained, white soldiers can last until dark. When it was dark, the Tartars would be dead. On the second day, the Tartars, who had no food and grass and suffered such a big defeat, would not dare to stay for a day. What would he do?That fetish burning things is really too poisonous.
……
(End of this chapter)
Ma Shitou, whose feet hurt more than his head, finally had some ideas for his feet.
"Commander, I dare to ask, are the white soldiers really so afraid of rain today?" Ma Shitou asked seriously.
"Oh, Shitou, what do you mean?" Qin Liangyu asked in confusion.
"Commander, what does the last general mean, do white soldiers really not see any rain?" Ma Shitou began to become more and more serious, perhaps because he really thought of something profound.
"Here, stone, my white soldier said that I am afraid of rain. It is all related to firearms. If firearms get wet, their power will be greatly reduced. However, since I am afraid of rain, I naturally have certain means of preventing rain. What I am afraid of is actually heavy rain or light rain. Although it has an impact, it's not like they won't be able to fire..." Qin Liangyu explained carefully.
"Commander, that's enough. The general looks at the fighting style of the white-armed soldiers. Even if it's raining, it's not without means of defense. Last time I saw throwing grenades in the army formation, isn't it a good way of defense? Although muskets are afraid of rain, this grenade is not. Even if it rains, even if it rains heavily, it may not be so easy for the Tartars to attack the formation of white soldiers." Ma Shitou asked seriously.The last time the white soldiers fought against the Tartars, Ma Shitou was also watching the battle. He was quite impressed with the fighting methods of the white soldiers. Attack one by one, followed by muskets, grenades at the end, and bayonets at the end. It can be described as a comprehensive defense. Even if the musket link has problems due to rain, the other links are not so afraid of rain, especially bayonets and grenades. .
"...Besides, does it have no effect on the Tartars when it rains? Let alone the muddy ground, if the guns of the white soldiers can't fire, can the bows of the Tartars shoot out? If this happens, the Tartars will be exposed to the rain. Going forward, I’m afraid there’s not much to do other than fill the grenade hole with human life…” Ma Shitou seriously analyzed that if he wants to convince Mr. Sun Ge, he must first convince Qin Liangyu and the people present. Therefore, Ma Shitou It's a serious analysis.
"Well, that's the reason. Therefore, white soldiers are not afraid of a little rain, but they are afraid of heavy rain. They can't even fire grenades that are not so afraid of rain. Then there will be trouble..." Qin Liangyu is also Seriously explained, it can be seen that Mao Wenlong and Man Gui are willing to help him, so Ma Shitou came out to talk about the matter, which can also be regarded as a countermeasure for everyone to discuss not to retreat. Don't be afraid.
"No! Commander-in-Chief, the last general didn't see it that way." Ma Shitou said loudly seriously, as if he had discovered something wrong.
"Oh, Shitou, what's your opinion? If it's feasible, you might as well say it, and you all might as well discuss it..." Qin Liangyu followed this path and simply explained the matter.
"Commander, brothers and sisters, uncles and uncles, I think that white soldiers are afraid of rain and heavy rain. In today's special environment, it is not that there is nothing they can do. I have a preliminary battle plan here. I don't know if it will work, but if it works, brothers and sisters, uncles, don't forget to praise Shitou; if not, brothers and sisters, uncles, scold lightly,..." Ma Shitou also took the opportunity to break the words, and let everyone participate. The topic of not retreating, which was difficult for everyone to talk about before, was completely opened up, and brothers, sisters, and uncles were all called out incidentally, and the atmosphere suddenly became active.
"Shitou, just tell me what to do." Ma Xianglin couldn't wait, and asked, Ma Xianglin really didn't want to just leave like this, and if he missed this opportunity, they might be the ones who will destroy the East next year Mao Wenlong is right, some people in the court don’t do personnel affairs, and they have to bear a lot of responsibility for this kind of disturbance outside the customs. He, Ma Xianglin, doesn’t want to become Xiong Tingbi’s second.
As soon as Ma Xianglin opened his mouth, the atmosphere became even more lively. After the frustration just now was swept away, everyone echoed and asked, the camp immediately became noisy.
"That boy just said it, the boy thinks this way, we can actually take advantage of the night to forcibly approach the Tatar camp, as long as we get within five miles of the Tatar camp, the Tartars will never be safe." Ma Shitou seriously Said.
"Stone, how do you take advantage of the night? How do you approach the Tartar camp for five miles? This is not a joke. If it rains on the road or the Tartars intercept it, it is impossible..." In this noisy camp, Someone immediately asked back.
"Commander, let's not talk about the rain. I'll talk about this later, kid. Let's talk about what will happen if it doesn't rain..." Ma Shitou tried his best to explain his thoughts.
"Very good, let's continue." Qin Liangyu encouraged, now, she needs someone to open her mind.
"Commander, we just need to act as if we are storming the Tartar camp and rush all the way there. Commander-in-Chief, what will happen?" Ma Shitou said.
"The Tatars will definitely intercept me and prevent me from getting close to the Tartar camp. Besides, I will wait for the rain. If it rains on the way to the Tartar camp, the Tartars will definitely swarm me..." Qin Liangyu said.
"That's right, let's pretend to be desperate, and pretend that we are going to attack the Tartar camp before sunset. The Tartars will definitely come to intercept us, and stop us desperately. Forget it, kid, now we will fight against the Tartars." At the end of the hour, there are still two or three hours before dark, even if we go to Mr. Sun Ge's place for a round, it is enough for us to march to the Tartar camp, as long as we approach the Tartar camp during the dark Wuli, let's bombard him with the Hongyi cannon, and the Tartars will not be able to survive..." Ma Shitou said, but in a hurry, Ma Shitou's idea was still very jerky, and he could only think while talking.
"Not to mention the rain, the Tartars will definitely stop us from the camp. It is impossible for us to get close to the camp. As Shi Shi said, it will not be so easy to bombard the Tartars with the red cannon... ..." Qin Liangyu asked back, she has also considered these things.
"Commander, it is true that the Tatars will intercept us and not let us approach. If the commander-in-chief is the leader of the Tartars, he will think that it is safer to let us stay away from the Tatar camp, so that the red cannons cannot hit us?" Ma Shitou Seriously ask.
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of scolding immediately.
"Stone, why do you compare the commander-in-chief to a captive, shut up quickly..."
"Shitou, you..." A group of people scolded Ma Shitou. This metaphor is not appropriate, but everyone is also out of love. Although they scolded loudly, they did not have too much malice.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Shitou continued, this commander is here to be the captive chieftain, if this commander is a captive chieftain, the Ming army should be kept as far away from the camp as possible..." Qin Liangyu He said with a smile, playing the role of an enemy is nothing new, as it often happens in sand table games.
"Then what if our army has been attacking forward, desperately trying to rush to the Tartar camp before dark? How far does the commander-in-chief think we should at least stop our army?" Ma Shitou Also carefully deduced.
"Well, if this command is a captive chieftain, I'm afraid that at least the Ming army will be kept ten miles away..." Qin Liangyu thought about it. The range of the Hongyi cannon is five miles, and the limit is seven or eight miles, but it can fight There are not many Hongyi cannons that are seven or eight miles away. If the cannon is fired to the limit, the service life of the cannon will be reduced rapidly, and it is easy to explode. Generally, it is not necessary to fire in extreme ways. Therefore, this distance should be at least ten miles. If you get close, it will be troublesome.
"Okay! Since the commander-in-chief said it was ten miles away, my army camped ten miles away. It must be dark by this time, right?" Ma Shitou continued to ask.
"Yes, it should be dark." Qin Liangyu said.
"Commander, with today's weather, what will it look like once it gets dark?" Ma Shitou asked seriously.
"After dark today? I'm afraid you can't see your fingers. It's so dark during the day, let alone night, there's no stars and moonlight, and it's so dark, you can't see your fingers..." Qin Liangyu said.
"That's it, Commander-in-Chief, can the cavalry still charge in such a dark night? If our army attacks in the dark, what use is the Tartar cavalry?" Ma Shitou said, taking out something from his pocket , opened the cover, wrenched your fingers, and with a sound of "呵...", a self-igniting lamp was turned on.
Everyone looked at Ma Shitou in amazement, not knowing what was going on, and even more amazed at the self-igniting lamp.
"What does the stone mean? Night battle?" Qin Liangyu asked in surprise.
"That's right, Commander-in-Chief, it's a night battle. I think our army has countless self-igniting lamps and countless horse lanterns. It can be said that it is effortless to light the lamps. It is also effortless to extinguish the lamps instantly. There are two things. The night is in our army. It is no different from daytime, so why not fight at night? Even thinking about the Tartars, I am afraid that our army will suddenly fight at night in the dark night, right? As long as we advance five miles forward, we should be able to reach the Tartar camp. Therefore, Shitou said earlier that the Tartar camp should be bombarded with red cannons..." Ma Shitou said seriously.
As soon as this night battle was spoken, it immediately attracted everyone's discussion. This is indeed a very challenging idea. Since ancient times, there have been few night battles in wars. Because of the lack of sight, many command methods cannot be used. Unreliable, you can beat gongs and drums, and the enemy can too. Therefore, fighting at night is too easy to cause chaos. Once there is chaos, it will be worse than bad. See who is worse and who will die first. The consequences are really unpredictable , Therefore, generally do not fight at night.
"Shitou, although our white-armed soldiers also train night battles, such large-scale night battles have never been seen since ancient times!" Qin Liangyu was also surprised by Ma Shitou's open thinking. The consensus among the leaders, in their minds, is that there is indeed some certainty. Although the white soldiers also have a certain degree of night combat training, they all march at night and attack the camp at night. If the whole army is suppressed in night combat, Qin Liangyu is really good. Never thought about it, and never had a chance to do it.
"Yeah! Shitou, although your idea is strange, night battles are too dangerous. If one is not good, you will lose everything!" Some people also said that night battles have been avoided since ancient times. It's too chaotic, and it's very prone to accidents. Now Da Ming has the most chances of winning, so don't make it to the end. If you lose in a daze, it will be miserable. Although what Ma Shitou said has some truth, but everyone who has not been tested in night battles , still has a lot of doubts.
"Yeah! Stone, it's okay to march at night, but it's too difficult to fight at night. We are infantry. Once the formation is broken up by the Tartar cavalry, it will be over..." Another general said, and everyone agreed I know that Ma Shitou is for the good of the commander-in-chief, for the benefit of the white soldiers, and for the good of everyone. Therefore, although he opposes Ma Shitou, there are no bitter people.
"Brothers, sisters, uncles and uncles, in such a dark night, how many cavalry do the Tartars have? From my boy's point of view, they are all infantry. Could it be that the Tartars dare to charge on horseback in such a dark night? Are they not afraid of falling to their death? Therefore, Only the boy said that taking advantage of the night, taking advantage of the night, turning all the Tartar cavalry into infantry, wouldn't it be easy to fight like this?" Ma Shitou said with a strange smile.
"Coax..." Everyone immediately burst into laughter when they heard this. There is some truth in this statement. Many people's thinking is inertial. They think that the Tartars are cavalry, and they will always be cavalry. But at a special moment, the cavalry, Once the Tartars became pawns..., many people's eyes began to light up.
"...Shitou, it makes sense. In such a dark night, the Tartars' cavalry might not be able to come out. It's really invisible! However, the Tartars can light torches..." Someone asked.
"No, the kid thinks that even if you light a torch tonight, it won't be able to illuminate three feet in front of you. If you want to charge with a torch, this is undoubtedly a joke. Besides, charging with a torch, isn't it courting death? Isn't it a living target? I just want to Just ambush a group of people and throw grenades, how many people will die?..." Ma Shitou said.
Everyone really became quiet now. After Ma Shitou said this, this seemingly impossible matter has some possibilities, and they all began to ponder the feasibility of this matter.
"Then, Stone, what if the Tartars try their best to break in in the dark? The surrounding area of the Tartar camp is flat, that is to say, the terrain of the Tartar camp is just a little bit higher... Don't forget, a good rider is a It can be blindfolded..." Ma Xianglin asked.
"Brother Ma, we have to start with the terrain around the Tartar camp. I have seen the situation around the Tartar camp and know a lot about it. This large piece of land is indeed flat. However, it is not the same as the flat grassland on the grassland. If I remember correctly, it used to be a castle called Gaojiabao. The years of war were severe, so the fields and fortresses were also abandoned. Although the fortresses and fields were all abandoned, the ridges of the fields were still there, the ditches were still there, and some trees were still there. Under this kind of terrain, there is no problem during the day. But at night, if you want to pass by on horseback, you may just fall to your death. There are not many places that can be discredited, that is, a few stepped roads. You only need to send people to set up ambushes on these roads in the dark, or Just digging some horseshoe pits on the road in the dark, and throwing some horses, is enough to make the Tartars dare not smear them..." Ma Shitou said seriously. [The horseshoe pit is very small, not a horse pit. There are many mouse holes on the grassland. If the horse is not careful, it will often sprain the horse's feet, causing people and horses to fall. This is the reason. The function of the horseshoe pit is to sprain the horse's feet and let the horse Fall, so as to achieve the effect of delaying the charge of the enemy cavalry. 】
"This also seems to make sense..." Ma Xianglin said.
Everyone also fell into deep thought. Although the night battle is not good for themselves, it is even more bad for the Tartars. Taking advantage of the darkness and using some tricks, the Tartar cavalry cannot charge. If they want to attack, they can only dismount. Dismounted Cavalry, that's really not as good as infantry, the Ming Dynasty really didn't pay attention to Tartar infantry, didn't they beat them to death?Think about how frightening a grenade suddenly flew out in the dark night?Even if you know where to throw it, so what, if you want to run forward, you don't know how many times you will fall to your death?
"Commander, look at the last general. What the stone said makes sense. Let's give it a try. As long as we get closer to the Tartar camp for ten miles, our chance will come. In such a dark night, we will run outside the Tartar camp. You can't even see the Tartars. Digging some horseshoe holes, throwing some hooves, and repelling the horses are enough to stop the Tartars. As long as we approach the Tartar camp within five miles, the Tartar camp will be within our blows , to be able to destroy the Tartar camp, that is a miracle!" Someone also said.
Everyone clamored to give it a try, and most of them were unwilling to leave like this. After all, miraculous achievements were right in front of them.
Qin Liangyu was also tempted, and has been looking for some excuses to stay. Now, he finally found some, but after all, this is still a bit far-fetched, and the reasons are not sufficient. There is another problem, which has never been solved. The problem of what to do when it rains .
"Everyone, be quiet!" Qin Liangyu, who had figured it out, asked everyone to be quiet.
Shuai Zhang immediately quieted down.
"Stone, even if we can get close to the Tartars for ten miles, even if we can fight at night, even if we can take advantage of the darkness to keep the Tartars from leaving the camp, what if it rains? If we don't solve this problem, it will always be unsafe for the army to be outside." Qin Liangyu said that rain has always been the key problem leading to the return to Sancha River.
"Returning to the commander-in-chief, in fact, even if we encounter tartars on the road, so what, I believe that with the ability of white soldiers, it can be easily done for an hour, right? Brothers, sisters, uncles, think about it, now It’s the beginning of Weishi [one o’clock in the afternoon], let’s persuade Mr. Ge, make a transfer from Mr. Ge, and go to the end of Weishi at most [three o’clock in the afternoon], and set off for the Tartar camp at the end of Weishi. At the end of Youshi, the sky is completely dark [seven o'clock in the evening], and it is only two hours. Within these two hours, even if it rains, even if the Tartars attack, as long as you stand up and defend, it should not be difficult to defend until dark Right? When it gets dark, what else can the Tartars do but retreat? Don’t forget, everyone, what kind of weather is it like today? At night, it’s really impossible to see your fingers. So, the white soldiers go to attack the Tartars Zi Daying, what I'm really afraid of is actually the hour of Shenshi. As long as it doesn't rain at Shenshi, no, it doesn't rain heavily, then at other times, even if it rains, as long as it's dark, it doesn't matter. In this way, our army You can take advantage of the night to reach the Tartar camp. As long as you can reach the Tartar camp, or push it overnight, or wait until the next day, it will be me, and we will win this battle, no matter what. I know if what the kid said is right..." Ma Shitou said, and he was about to understand something. White soldiers are not completely afraid of rain. In this kind of cloudy weather, they are like this during the day, and at night, they are even more invisible. Clearly, that's a serious thing. It's impossible for the Tartars to attack under this kind of weather. They even have trouble riding horses. They don't know when they hit something. Therefore, if they really want to attack the Tartars In the camp, I was afraid that it would rain at this hour of Shenshi, and be surrounded by the Tartars, which might be worse. However, as long as it persisted until dark, the Tartars still had nothing to do, and a battle of this scale was obviously impossible. The white soldiers will be dealt with within an hour, so in fact, the hope of attacking the Tartar camp is still very high.
"Om..." As soon as Ma Shitou finished speaking, everyone began to discuss again. This is very new. There are still two or three hours until dark, and one hour is used to ask Mr. Sun Ge for instructions and to persuade Mr. Sun Ge , two hours is enough to rush on the road. If it doesn't rain in Shenshi, this battle is somewhat possible. After Shenshi, even if it rains, it doesn't matter. It will be dark soon. After a short defense, the enemy It is impossible to attack.
"Commander, from the point of view of my subordinates, what Shishi said is indeed reasonable. The Tartars just want to use the rain to restrain our army's firearms. If it doesn't rain, the Tartars may not seriously intercept our army. Even if it rains Rain, I'm afraid the Tartars may not be able to cause any harm to our army, as long as it is dark, our army's chances of winning will be great, and it is not in vain for the commander-in-chief to travel thousands of miles to Liaodong." Mao Wenlong said, Mao Wenlong He also didn't want Qin Liangyu to leave just like that. He would have a hard time if Qin Liangyu left. People who come next time may not be as knowledgeable about military affairs as Qin Liangyu. He was sent to die on the battlefield, so Mao Wenlong was still under pressure. If he didn't beat the Tartar this time, he would be in great danger if he lost his temper.
"Hey..., although there is some truth in these words, I'm afraid it won't work to convince the old man with these words!" Although Qin Liangyu really hoped to fight the Tartar camp, he still felt that these words were a bit lacking , Not convincing enough, even if it didn't rain today, even if you can resist it, but it will rain tomorrow?What should I do?There are 6 or [-] Tartars, and even though they lost a lot in the chaos at night, they are still capable of crushing the white soldiers in terms of strength.
Qin Liangyu's words chilled the people present again. Although Ma Shitou's words were somewhat novel, overall, they were still too risky and might not be able to persuade Mr. Sun Ge. I want to do this, and I support this idea, but when I compare it in my heart, I still feel that my certainty is too small, not that my certainty of beating the Tartars is too small, but my certainty of persuading Mr. Sun Ge is too small.The scene was a little bit colder.
"Commander, I have a way to impress Mr. Ge..." An official who had been silent at the side spoke.
"Oh, Staff Officer Zhang, what can you do?" Qin Liangyu asked in surprise, this Staff Officer Zhang was Mao Wenlong's staff officer.
"The commander-in-chief must have heard about hot air balloons, right?" Staff officer Zhang is Mao Wenlong's staff officer. He has defended Zhenjiang Fort with Mao Wenlong, and he can be regarded as a powerful person with Mao Wenlong. What he said immediately surprised many people. !Especially senior generals like Qin Liangyu, Mao Wenlong and Man Gui.
"Hot air balloon? Staff Officer Zhang, I have heard of it, but the one that was let go in the capital?" Someone immediately asked, this hot air balloon is also a hot topic, after all, people can go to the sky, which is quite a heaven-defying thing Yes, but many people talk about it, even though it has been such a long time, they are still talked about.
Everyone else has only heard about the hot air balloon going up to the sky, but there are a few people who know more about the inside story.Hot air balloons have always been prepared as a trump card in war, ready to be used when there is a stalemate or a final decision. Last year, Mao Wenlong guarded Zhenjiang Fort, and he was prepared to use it as a trump card. Mao Wenlong was captured, and he even had a plan to escape from Zhenjiang Fort by hot air balloon. This is one of the reasons why Mao Wenlong dared to defend Zhenjiang Fort. Unfortunately, the timely appearance of warships made this new weapon no chance to stand out. This is a secret weapon that is kept secret, so there has never been a chance to show off its demeanor. Until today, when Staff Officer Zhang mentioned it, these generals took this most mysterious thing to heart again.
Qin Liangyu, Mao Wenlong, Man Gui and one or two others all looked at Staff Officer Zhang in surprise.The rest of the generals were happily talking about the magic of the hot air balloon, and the two expressions were quite distinct.
"Staff Zhang, what do you mean? Are you going to use that thing?" Qin Liangyu asked in surprise. This weapon is a new type of flying weapon, and it is the most core and most secret thing.It cannot be used until it is absolutely necessary, until it is against the sky, and until the final decision is made. This is what the emperor and Mr. Sun Ge have repeatedly explained.
"Exactly, Commander-in-Chief, I didn't intend to use this at first, and I couldn't use it. However, with the words of today's stone, if our army can approach the Tartar camp for ten miles, we can use this kind of artifact under the cover of night." , I have seen it, the southeast wind blowing from the sea has been blowing recently, as long as you get close to the Tartar camp, once you release this kind of artifact, it will definitely burn the Tartar camp to the ground. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Tartars and attacking in formation, the Tartar camp can be captured in one fell swoop. Even if the Tartar camp cannot be captured, the food and grass of the Tartars must have been burned to the ground. How can the Tartars who have no food and grass Interested in fighting with the commander-in-chief?" Staff Officer Zhang said mysteriously, his eyes were full of fanaticism, and he was unwilling to reveal this secret weapon so quickly before, but Ma Shitou brought the topic ten miles away from the Tartar camp , then this secret weapon will come in handy.
"This..., but it's night now, can this artifact be used?" Qin Liangyu hesitated, she was not very familiar with this thing, she only knew about such a thing, had no actual combat experience, and didn't know the effect.
"Officer Huang, what do you think?" Staff Officer Zhang didn't answer Qin Liangyu's words directly, but asked the staff officer assigned to the white-armed soldiers by the staff department. His surname was Huang, so he was called Staff Officer Huang.
"It's doable! However, I'm afraid there won't be enough hot air balloons for you and me. The total number should not exceed 100. If you can get Elder Sun Ge's support, where can you find the prepared ones and make up more than 100?" The hot air balloon, with overwhelming power, can burn the tartar to the ground, that's okay!" Now that the matter has been discussed, this staff officer surnamed Huang is also a ruthless person, the hot air balloon united by the two companies is still Not enough, and I plan to burn more than [-] hot air balloons to the sky, and pile up the tartars with hot air balloons.These staff officers, in fact, are quite embarrassing. Because the staff department has been established for a short time, it has no credit or record. In many troops, being looked down upon by others is more of a superficial respect.For example, although he is respected among the white soldiers, others always have opinions on them, thinking that they are military supervisors, and have strange eyes on them. This is the embarrassment of these staff officers. The staff officer is okay, at least he has experienced the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, he has experienced the test of life and death, and Mao Wenlong's side can be regarded as a good one, but he has not yet achieved a good record. Therefore, when Staff Officer Zhang mentioned this matter, he I just wanted to take advantage of this incident to open up the reputation of the staff and the staff, and use this to improve the record, so I had the rhetoric of burning more than [-] hot air balloons at a time.
All the people in the camp came to their senses and looked at those few people in surprise. What did they mean?I don't understand, but looking at the faces of the coaches, the surprise is probably a big deal, so they all calm down and listen carefully.
"This... is it feasible?" Qin Liangyu's tone was a little excited. If such an artifact could help her, it would be great.
"Going back to the commander-in-chief, there should be no problem. Today's weather is cloudy, the wind is light, and the southeast wind is blowing. It can be released. It is not appropriate to cast it at night. It is difficult to find the target. However, it also happens that the Tartar camp must be at night. It's not difficult to find him under the bright lights. The Tartar camp, which stretches for several miles, is a natural target. You only need to get close to the Tartars within ten miles, preferably five or six miles. Lifting into the sky will definitely burn the Tartar camp to the ground..." Staff officer surnamed Huang replied fiercely, with great confidence in his words.
"Well, how many things can the hot air balloon carry? I'm afraid it won't be able to burn many things. The Tartar camp stretches for several miles. Even if more than a hundred hot air balloons are launched into the sky, I'm afraid it will cause some chaos to the Tartars. After the chaos is over, if you settle down, don’t you want to lose these hot air balloons in vain.” Man Gui’s team did not have such a special team, so although he knew something, he didn’t know the details, so he asked worriedly.
"The governor is overthinking. After the next officer demonstrates it to the governor, the governor will know why he is so confident." Staff Officer Huang said with great confidence. After speaking, he smiled at Mao Wenlong's staff officer.
Everyone looked at these people in surprise, not knowing what they were talking about.
Not long after the staff surnamed Huang went out, the staff surnamed Zhang said: "Commander, this place is not safe for inspection, please move the commander..." Staff surnamed Zhang naturally knew what this staff surnamed Huang was going to get, so he reminded him in advance.
"Okay! Let's go outside and have a look. Why is this artifact called an artifact..." Qin Liangyu gained confidence. This thing, the emperor and Mr. Sun Ge, have been explaining it all the time. Use it carefully. Once it is used, it will definitely shake the world. Now, see The staff officers who are in charge of this thing can't help but want to use this thing themselves, and they are also curious about its power.
When everyone came outside, the soldiers outside were still talking loudly about today's victory. It was so easy. After a burst of cannon fire, they rushed over and beat the Tartars to the ground. It was really enjoyable.Seeing that the coaches have all made handsome accounts, they all looked over curiously.
"Commander-in-Chief, please give me an order to get everyone to stand apart so as not to get hurt..." Staff Officer Zhang kindly reminded again that the power of this weapon is really terrifying. Staff Officer Zhang was excited, with eyes full of A trace of fear, when he first saw this weapon, he was also terrified.
"Everyone, stand back, don't get hurt, this thing is very powerful..." Qin Liangyu quickly ordered people to stand back, and the circle surrounded by everyone expanded again.
After a while, the staff officer surnamed Huang came back, found a few iron pots and put them among the crowd, and the crowd watched from a distance. Behind the staff officer surnamed Huang, there were a few soldiers, carrying some strange pots in their hands. , slightly larger than the salt and oil tanks in ordinary people's homes.
"Commander-in-chief, let's start!" the staff officer surnamed Huang said.
"Well, let's get started!" Qin Liangyu said excitedly, with a smile on his mouth. If the effect is good, that is to say, if there is enough rhetoric to impress Mr. Sun Ge, that is to say, the Tatars are destined to lose to her this time. In his hands, he is doomed to suffer a big loss.
The staff officer surnamed Huang waved at the soldiers holding the jars, and those soldiers threw the ceramic jars into the pile of iron pans from a distance, and the ceramic jars immediately smashed onto the iron pans, What flowed out was something that had never been seen before.
"Smell of lamp oil?" The smell of lamp oil smelled by someone.
"Smell of wine?" Someone smelled the wine.
Everyone was wondering, those soldiers took out the self-igniting lamp again, lit the cloth strip on the last ceramic pot, and quickly threw it into the pile of iron pots.
With a sound of "Boom...", the pile of iron pots burned violently, the momentum was frightening, and the heat wave was overwhelming.
Everyone exclaimed, it's too hot for such a long distance.
"This iron pot can burn, it's really amazing..." Someone saw that it can burn without firewood, and it's still so hot, it's really a bit magical.
"With kerosene, of course it can be burned..." Someone smelled the unique smell of kerosene and became an expert in explaining.However, several staff officers ignored them, but concentrated on watching the burning scene.
Soon, some parts of the iron pot were burnt red.
"Water..." the staff officer surnamed Huang calmly shouted.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the fire was really powerful, and it could burn up on an iron pan. If this kind of thing was thrown into the sky to burn the enemy's food and grass, it would definitely burn it all. No wonder they were so loud.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a soldier poured a bucket of water on the burning fire from a distance.
"Zi...Boom...Zi..." The fire burned violently, making a loud sizzle sound, and the flames rushed high.
The people around were amazed again!The heart that had just been let go raised its throat again.
A little far away, the soldiers who were resting were also looking at what they were doing here, when they suddenly saw a flame bursting out from Lao Gao, they stood up in shock, and couldn't help saying: "Oh..."
The scene froze in an instant. The bucket of water went down, and the fire was not only not extinguished, but it was even bigger. The flames of Lao Gao burst into flames. Everyone looked at the fire and lost the ability to speak.
"Splash again..." the staff officer surnamed Huang shouted again calmly.
This time, several soldiers did not have a bucket of water, but several buckets of water, and poured them on the fire one after another. Without exception, the flames did not go out, but grew higher. Water was poured on those iron pots. , It flowed out again, and the ground was already full of water. It was incredible that the fire was still burning high.
No matter whether they were generals or soldiers, they were all stunned when they saw this astonishing scene, and many of them forgot to close their mouths.
At this time, several staff officers smiled with satisfaction.
After a while, the fire gradually became smaller and gradually extinguished.Only then did everyone start to come to their senses.A soldier went forward and completely extinguished the sparks with water, and lifted the iron pot, which had been deformed by the heat.
"This is really a god. It is not afraid of water. If you use this kind of thing to burn the food and grass of the Tartars, the Tartars will cry to death..." Man Gui was so surprised that he spoke first. This is really a good thing.
"The governor is right. This thing is a fetish for burning the enemy's grain and grass. Once it gets on the enemy's grain and grass, it is almost indestructible unless it is burned clean. Even if it is water, it cannot be extinguished. Therefore, once the heat The balloon went up to the sky, and then dropped this object on the Tartars' heads. The officials dare to conclude that the Tartars' camp must be panic-stricken. If the commander-in-chief takes advantage of the chaos of the Tartars and moves to attack, it can almost be said that he will win..." Staff officer surnamed Huang said with bright eyes.
"Oh! This thing is truly a divine weapon. To fight against the enemy with this thing, the Tartars should be punished. Even if our army does not go to cover up and kill them, it will be burned down overnight. In the chaos, there will be countless casualties. It is better than a fierce battle! It's amazing! , Amazing!" Qin Liangyu said with emotion.
"The commander-in-chief is right, this thing, in addition to being able to burn, also has a smoking thing. If it is burned together with a grenade, it will really set fire to the camp. The enemy has nowhere to escape. It is easy to burn the Tartar camp! "The staff surnamed Zhang said with a smile.
"Consul Zhang, how can we ensure that this thing can just float on the tartar's head? Isn't it invisible at night? What if it floats on your own head, what should you do?" Ma Shitou was also shocked by this kind of thing. , asked weakly.
"Hehe, the stone is too much to worry about. At night, the Tartar camp is like a big torch in the night, which just points out the direction for us. How could we be wrong? As long as the hot air balloon takes off, my camp will be made of lights. It has a special shape, so naturally you don't have to worry about burning it." Staff officer surnamed Zhang explained with a smile.
"But, what if the Tartars turn off the lights? So what?" Ma Shitou asked again.
"It doesn't matter. It's dark today. As long as there is a little noise, how can the Tartars not light the lamps? Once the Tartars light up the lights, the camp that stretches for several miles can be seen for tens of miles. How can they be wrong? After I fly into the sky and drop the fetish, it’s useless for the Tartars to turn off the lights, besides, there are lights in my camp as guides, so they can’t be burned wrong…” Staff Officer Zhang said with a smile.
"Commander Zhang is right. This thing is really a divine weapon. Since Staff Officer Zhang is so confident, let's do it accordingly. If you don't object, then the commander will report the matter to Elder Ge as soon as possible. Please support the elders with a fire and burn all the tartars!" Qin Liangyu didn't hesitate any longer, this was a golden opportunity, and if he missed this opportunity, he might never have the chance to come back.
"The last general agrees!" All the generals immediately agreed with a smile.
Qin Liangyu quickly returned to the commander's tent, quickly wrote the letter of "borrowing fire", and at the same time wrote how he approached the Tartars for ten miles, and analyzed that even if it rained, white soldiers can last until dark. When it was dark, the Tartars would be dead. On the second day, the Tartars, who had no food and grass and suffered such a big defeat, would not dare to stay for a day. What would he do?That fetish burning things is really too poisonous.
