Chapter 1201 The Brave and the Wise

This was the first time in history that the Great Song fleet had struck at the army on the ground, and more than a thousand guns had fired a salvo for the first time, and the deafening sound almost made Shi Yuansun deaf.

The gunners of the fleet were accustomed to such sounds, and at sea they experimented with a salvo, but the target was the woods on the island, not a living life.

Rat San stood motionless on the boat in a daze, and Shi Yuansun did the same, the whistling sound above his head was like the scream of the devil, making all the Song soldiers standing on the shore tremble, and the original cheers disappeared completely, even if the Jurchens suffered a fatal blow, the Song army couldn't bear it.

One of the most common words that the soldiers said when they came back to God was "Create iniquity!" It's a bit too miserable......"

The battlefield is cruel, but it has never been so cruel, no matter how fierce the Jurchens are, they can't use their flesh and blood to fight artillery, and they hardly need to send troops to harvest, and the current Jurchen coalition has collapsed on its own.

Some people ran madly on the battlefield, like frightened beasts, screaming in bursts, while others stood there in a daze, not saying a word, just constantly waving their knives, as if they wanted to kill some monster.

More people fled backwards frantically, and even if the war horse stopped moving, they abandoned the war horse and ran away on their own......

In the army that came back to his senses, Sima Zuo shook Shi Yuansun's arm vigorously: "General, take advantage of the victory to pursue!" ”

Shi Yuansun pointed to the generals and soldiers who were also looking at the battlefield sluggishly and said, "How can you pursue like this?" ”

Zuo looked back from afar, and sure enough, the soldiers in the army showed a rare fear, just like the Jurchens were afraid of these artillery, and the Song army was also shocked by the huge power of the artillery.

People can never be beasts, there are always some things in their hearts that they can't let go, and the current miserable situation of the Jurchens can be described as incomprehensible, at this time, harvesting the Jurchens will achieve a great victory, but it will make the army lose one of the most important things.

Shi Yuansun would not let the army of the Great Song Dynasty do this, and losing courage meant that reliance on artillery would become the norm, which was what Shi Yuansun was most worried about.

If they don't even have compassion, they can't even be called people, if they don't even have the enterprising heart, they can't even be called soldiers, if they don't even have the heart of shame, they will no longer be the elite of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Set up camp and receive the sailors!"

Shi Yuansun himself was also a celestial man who fought for a long time, and finally let the Jurchens flee, turned to Zuo Yuanyuan and said.

Zuo Yuanyuan knew what Shi Yuansun meant, but it was a pity to give up the great opportunity in front of him like this, and he was even more worried that someone in the court would take advantage of this to punish Shi Yuansun, after so many days of getting along, he couldn't be clearer about what Shi Yuansun was.

A rare general in the gate, a rare upright gentleman, and a rare master general!

But there is no joke in the army, the words of the chief general are military orders, and no one can disobey them, even Sima who is responsible for supervision cannot interfere, this is the rule set by the officials......

The military camp was sorted out again, the military tents were set up, and the sailors who had just disembarked were greeted by the sailors, and every Liaodong army looked at them with a jealous look, these people had just slaughtered thousands of Jurchen people in an instant, and in an instant they had killed the Jurchens to the point that they had lost their armor and fled in embarrassment.

It's just that the means are too tragic and uncomfortable, in fact, these naval soldiers are also uncomfortable, they saw the tragic situation of the Jurchens, and they were also shocked and speechless, even if they had just won the victory, but the atmosphere in the military camp of the Great Song Dynasty was heavy.

It was as if something inexplicable had been broken, but everyone couldn't tell what it was.

Shi Yuansun and Rat San looked at each other, and then shook their heads silently, and finally Rat San Xin opened his mouth and broke the quiet handsome tent: "Tell me why I always feel that something is wrong?!" Isn't my brain broken? ”

Shi Yuansun sighed: "Where do you have this feeling, I am the same, the generals and soldiers in the army are like this, this should be what the official family said, the fundamental change between war and war, the original people of our Han dynasty are not very different from foreigners, even if they are far from the same as now." ”

"Where have we been?"

Rat San took a glass of wine and drank it and asked, he felt that Shi Yuansun was a smart person, at least he saw it more thoroughly than himself.

"Since our Great Song Dynasty has firearms, it has been different, not to mention this artillery, even gunpowder bullets are not comparable to ordinary weapons, how much loss has the party suffered in this?"

Before Rat San could speak, Shi Yuansun opened his hand into a fist and said, "It's gone with a bang!" ”

"How difficult was it to storm the city? But what about now? After a few rounds of artillery fire, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will collapse, and we won't know what the city wall of Beijing looks like, right? At the very least, it needs to be able to withstand the artillery! ”

Rat San nodded: "That's right! ”

The two chatted while drinking, and the words were more open, and Rat San also said what he had discovered: "I think that the official family is so urgent to send troops in order to destroy the Liao Dynasty as soon as possible, so that no one can compete with our Great Song Dynasty, and there is no need to worry about someone being able to build artillery." ”

Shi Yuansun looked at Rat San in surprise and said: "Your words are to the point, if the Liao Dynasty is destroyed, what else is there to worry about?!" The official family once answered questions in front of the military academy.

War is a contest between the brave and the wise, the brave are not afraid of death, just like the Jurchens in front of them, they can win and survive on the edge of the Liao Dynasty. But the wise are the most terrifying, they can avoid death and win in the end!

Our Great Song Dynasty is a wise man, so the Jurchens were defeated at our hands............"

Rat San smiled bitterly: "But in this way, where has the spirit of our Great Song soldiers gone?" Where did our courage to fight with real swords and guns and enemy chieftains go? ”

Shi Yuansun looked at Rat San with burning eyes and said, "So I ordered the army not to pursue ......"

"You're not afraid that Wenchen will join you, he is far away, but Sima in the army is far away, and he didn't persuade you?"

Shi Yuansun smiled: "He saw it clearly, and in the end he was moved by me, we can't stop fighting without artillery, right?" If you lose your sharpness, how will you fight the Liao people in the future? Let our soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty know that the Jurchens have done it, and the Liao people are no problem! ”

The three rats laughed and said, "Well said! Is it just that the DPRK thinks so? Official ...... Think so? ”

Shi Yuansun frowned slightly and said: "Although I don't know, I will go to the official family, and our Great Song Dynasty can't just rely on the power of artillery." ”

"This is a bit excessive, far from it, just the soldier in your hand is not the elite? I'll talk about it later, if you can't take down the Jurchens, these words will be in front of the courtiers and officials after returning to the court............"

Rat San's words were not rough, Shi Yuansun nodded: "Of course, now that the courage of the Jurchens has been broken, less than half of the 80,000 coalition troops remain, if they can't be broken individually, I, Shi Yuansun, will have no shame to return to the court." ”
