Chapter 915: Raiding the Fort
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
The already incomplete fort gate has been rotted into scum under the continuous bombardment of five bronze cannons, and the fort gate has been completely opened.
"Hui Ye, the bronze cannon barrel is very hot, and you must wait for it to cool down before you can continue to bombard." The commander of the artillery battalion, Li Wuwen, rushed to the front of the car and loudly reported the latest situation to Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi narrowed his eyes and pondered carefully, and then he raised his head and asked Li Wuwen: "When I tested the gun in the past, how many projectiles were fired, and the barrel would be hot and red?" ”
"Hui Ye, it is generally about eight cannons, and it will take about a quarter of an hour to rest, and the barrel will gradually cool down." Li Wuxi's answer without hesitation made Li Zhongyi very satisfied.
Li Zhongyi handed Li Fifty a washed red fruit, and said with a smile: "This fruit is still a little sweet, I will reward you." ”
Li Fifty took the red fruit and said with a smile: "Master, the little one has carefully calculated, if the firing time is shortened to one-third of an inch of incense, at most five cannons, the barrel will be red, and it will be unbearable to shoot again." ”
Since there was no clock to keep track of the time, Li Zhongyi simply used the speed of burning incense in the small lantern to avoid the wind after meditating. The standard length of military incense is 5 inches, and one-third of an inch of incense is converted, which is about three minutes.
"Good, good, great! Well done! Look back, when you take Jizhou, the beautiful family members of the big Han official families can choose two as concubines. Li Zhongyi touched his chin, and his satisfied smile bloomed irrepressibly, looking extremely happy.
Artillery is a typical professional and technical unit, and Li 50, as the commander of the artillery battalion, can ponder the issue of technical improvement anytime and anywhere.
"Fifty, tell me about it, what is the difference between today's actual bombardment and bombardment training on weekdays?" Li Zhongyi took a bite of the red fruit and asked Li Fifty with a smile through the car window.
Li Fifty lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and then solemnly reported: "I won't tell you the truth, the small one thinks that the main thing is the launch process, which is too complicated and cumbersome. When they were about to fight, the officers and men of our artillery battalion said that they were not panicking, but in fact, most of them were nervous in their hearts, and during the entire process from aiming to loading the ammunition, some of them were in a hurry and made their movements deviate. If it weren't for the small one who gave the death order to the auxiliary artillery group, he kept staring at everyone by taking the method of keeping an eye on people, and deliberately slowed down the time of firing, which almost caused a catastrophe. ”
Li Zhongyi nodded frequently, this Li Fifty followed him, and the time was not short. On weekdays, Li Zhongyi saw that Li Fifty was a delicate talent, so he was entrusted with the important task of commanding the artillery battalion.
But I didn't think that Li Fifty's degree of fineness was several times more refined than the upper limit of Li Zhongyi's imagination, good, very good!
"Well, fifty, it's a rare opportunity, just concentrate five bronze guns and bombard the fixed position of the fort wall, I want to see how many cannons are needed to break the wall?" After Li Zhongyi ordered Yang Lie to be the general manager of the march, it can be said that he has no responsibility and is light, since he is idle, he simply uses the actual combat scene to further experiment with the real performance of the artillery, so as to know it in his heart.
As for the burgers in the dock fort, whether they will launch a counterattack, that is a question that Li Yunxiao needs to consider. If Li Zhongyi even had to take care of such a trivial matter, then he wouldn't need to sleep, and all twelve hours a day would be wasted in uploading and issuing military orders.
During the Three Kingdoms period, why was Zhuge Liang exhausted to death early? Doesn't he just dare to delegate power, and even the of beating the ten military sticks has to be approved by Zhuge Kongming himself?
Zhuge Liang is too power-grabbing, and Li Zhongyi has always been disdainful. The more things Kong Ming managed, the more it showed that this guy was too powerful and reluctant to disperse power, and Shu would not be able to cultivate a rising general who would be in charge of his own.
What's that old saying? There is no general in Shu, and Liao has become a pioneer!
This is the embarrassment of Shu without top talents on the bright side, and looking at Li Zhongyi's current height, it actually contains the connotation of criticizing Kong Ming's dictatorship and unwillingness to let go of cultivating talents.
Kong Ming represents the interests of the Jingxiang clan, and it is difficult for the elite of the Shu clan to have a bright future, which is the root cause of the defeat of Shu.
Of course, the decline of Cao Wei's regime is also related to Cao Pi's lack of experience and falling for Chen Qun's tricks. Chen Qun, who represented the interests of the clan and the gate lords, changed Cao Mengde's meritocracy principle of employing people with sinister intentions, and turned it into the notorious "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System".
Since then, under Cao Wei and even the two Jin regimes, the ascent of the Hanmen Shu clan has been completely blocked!
The so-called cycle of chaos, land annexation is only the result of the excessive greed of the wealthy gentry and the giants, the core is that the vested interests of the gate valve class monopolize power, and the world should be in chaos if there is no noble son from a poor family!
The yellow scarves open their horns, the cannibal yellow nest, the thieves are self-contained, the western thieves are loyal, and the evil shows all of them, all of them want to get ahead, but they have no serious way out, driven by ambition, they brazenly raise troops.
What Li Zhongyi wants to do now is by no means just to unify the Central Plains and expel the deed.
As long as the foundation of the existing cycle of chaos is not broken, the dictatorship of the silverfish class such as the gate lords, officials and gentry will inevitably emerge from time to time to harm the world.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......" five bronze cannons bombarded the fort wall again and again, and Li Zhongyi raised the monocular in his hand to carefully observe the results of the bombardment.
In the past, artillery crews have also bombarded rammed single-sided walls, and there are quite a few times. But how can the bombardment on the training ground be compared to the actual combat?
"Boom......" Li Zhongyi captured a detail, the initial landing point of the C artillery group was quite far away from the designated wall, and now, it is getting closer and closer to the center of the big pit.
"Uh-huh, that's wonderful." Li Zhongyi was proud in his heart, so he sang softly, "Today I drink the celebration wine, my ambition is not rewarded, and I will show my skills in the future, sprinkle my blood, and write the Spring and Autumn ......"
This is an excerpt from the model drama "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and it is also Li Zhongyi's favorite singing voice, but he has never sung in public on weekdays, and today he is really in a comfortable mood, and he can't help but express it.
"Master, you sing so beautifully, the slave family has never heard it." Ye Xiaolan gave birth to a son, and her courage became a lot, she saw that Li Zhongyi was in a very good mood, so she simply made fun of it and pleased the man.
Li Zhongyi laughed, but ignored Ye Xiaolan, holding Xiao Xuan's thin waist with one hand, letting her body swing in front of the car window, bringing the monocular in front of her eyes, pointing at the fortress wall that was bombarded by the bronze cannon.
Xiao Sui was a little dizzy at first, and she couldn't see anything clearly, but when Li Zhongyi's hand stopped shaking and the angle was right, she realized that several appalling pits had been blasted out of the originally neat and thick fortress wall.
Ah, what kind of monster is this? Xiao Xuan couldn't help but hold his breath, staring at the big pit in the fort wall in a daze, his mind was in chaos, and he could no longer concentrate on saving himself.
Li Zhongyi is waiting for this moment, the people of the grassland people, both men and women, are all people who are afraid of power and not virtuous, where do they know what benevolence, righteousness and morality?
Dealing with the grassland peoples more and more times, Li Zhongyi deeply realized that whether it is the Khitan people or the Xi people, they strictly abide by the law of the jungle and respect the strong!
Taking advantage of your illness and killing you is the last word prevailing on the grassland.
Li Zhongyi didn't want to kill Xiao Sui, such a beautiful and exquisite future Empress Dowager Xiao, if she was completely conquered and prostrate at Li Zhongyi's feet, his man's self-esteem would definitely be greatly satisfied.
The sedan chair needs to be lifted, the great martial arts need stepping stones, Li Zhongyi is a human, not a god, and he also has seven emotions and six desires!
The dividends of war are nothing more than the following: peerless beauty, land, power, population, wealth, and fame!
Li Zhongyi was quite complacent, the appearance of artillery was equivalent to giving Li Jiajun wings to take off, and from now on, no matter how strong the city wall was, it would be abused into scum.
Not only that, but the fortress, which is touted very well in the Western world, will definitely be bombarded by Cheng Xiang under the peak of Li Jiajun's troops.
More importantly, Li Zhongyi has always had a dream of colonizing overseas. Build flying clippers, set up cannons, and wait until overseas interests continue to enter the Central Plains, because of the uneven distribution of interests, the vicious circle of chaos will obviously be alleviated a lot.
Just when Xiao Xuan's heart was in turmoil, Li Zhongyi suddenly put away the monocular in his right hand, lowered the car curtain, turned her over, and forced her to kneel on the brocade.
"Lan'er, get a brush." Li Zhongyi's face showed an evil smile, Ye Xiaolan didn't understand the man's intentions at first, and when she saw the true purpose of the brush, she couldn't help covering her red lips and almost screamed.
Ye Xiaolan's pretty cheeks were dyed red in an instant, she even gave birth to a son, and her body and mind were already ripe, she couldn't help but clamp her legs, eager to burrow her head under the chassis of the carriage.
Outside the carriage, the continuous rumbling of cannons, which was originally a bit noisy, has now become the best accompaniment to the fun.
After Li Zhongyi ate Ye Xiaolan dry, he took away the brush that had been dancing non-stop, and faintly listened to Xiao Xuan's crying in his ears, he couldn't help but smile pleasantly, this is the future queen mother of the Khitans, cool!
Under Ye Xiaolan's service, Li Zhongyi washed his hands, tidied up his clothes, got out of the carriage freely, and stood on the ground refreshed.
Li Zhongyi paced two steps with his hands behind his back, but when he looked up, he saw Li Yunxiao standing a hundred meters away, so he beckoned him to the front and asked him with a smile: "The fort wall has collapsed?" ”
"Hui Ye, a total of thirty shots were fired, and the sight finally found the trick of concentrating on bombardment in one place, you see over there, it has collapsed." Li Yunxiao turned around and pointed to the fort wall, smiling from ear to ear.
Li Zhongyi nodded, and asked Li Yunxiao again: "Have you found a secret passage outside the castle?" ”
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "You are really like a god, in a forest six miles away from this fort, there is indeed a secret exit." Including the owner of this fort, as well as the family members, they were captured as one, and not a single one escaped. ”
"Haha, pass on my military order, the cavalry will rest and be on guard in place, and the infantry army will attack the fort, and you must copy it completely." Li Zhongyi waved his hand, and according to the usual practice, he began to raid the house.
