Chapter 739 Red-Coated Cannon
Song Yuanlang didn't immediately agree to Zhuge Kongming, he was still waiting for Song Jing's news.
If the conditions given by Song Guo were better, he wouldn't mind choosing Song Guo again.
After all, everything is about conditions and interests.
And Song Yuanlang is rarely able to control the situation, so he likes this state and feeling very much now.
He felt that he was the one in control, the one who was in charge of everything.
And while Song Yuanlang was waiting like this, he didn't wait for anything.
Song Jing didn't come to add any conditions to him again, but just came to tell him that cooperating with Tang Guo was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.
Tang Guo is a tiger, if you want their skin, it's strange if they don't eat you.
What Song Jing said also makes sense, Song Yuanlang also knows this, joining forces with Tang Guo is seeking skin with the tiger, maybe this tiger will eat you that day.
However, the temptation of thunder was too great, and in the case of Zhou Guo's refusal to increase his chips, he really didn't want to cooperate with Zhou Guo.
So soon, Song Yuanlang reached an agreement with Zhuge Kongming, as long as the thunder of the Tang State arrived, they would immediately start a war against the Zhou State.
After saying this, Zhuge Kongming did not stop in the Song Kingdom for more, and rushed directly to Chang'an City of the Tang Kingdom.
Song Jing naturally didn't stay here, and hurried back.
And just when they rushed back to their respective capitals like this, here in Chang'an City of Tang Kingdom, Li Yu was ordering someone to make a red-clothed cannon.
When attacking the Jin Kingdom, Li Yu saw the disadvantages of trebuchets.
The range of the trebuchet is still not far enough, and the power of the shot is not large enough, and the speed is relatively slow, if there is a red cannon, it can be fired continuously and quickly.
In this way, whether it is a siege or a close battle between the two sides, it will be of great benefit to them Datang.
The red-clothed cannon, with Li Yu here, those craftsmen only need to build it, and they don't need to get anything else at all.
So soon, the redcoat cannon was made.
After the red-clothed cannon was made, Li Yu found a secret place to test it, and there were Xu Maogong and Li Jing, who were Wenchen generals who Tang Yu trusted very much.
It was a very desolate place, and in the early spring, the wind was blowing and cool, and some of the trees next to it had not yet sprouted.
A red-clad cannon was pulled out like this.
After the red-clothed cannon was pulled out, Li Yu glanced at the tree trunk in front of him and said, "Aim at that tree for me and fire." ”
After Li Yu gave an order, someone soon lit the artillery, and then, only a booming sound was heard, and a thunderbolt exploded out, directly on the tree in front.
Then, with a click, the big tree was blown off.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this power and range.
"Awesome, awesome, this thing is much more powerful than trebuchet."
"Yes, if there are dozens of red-coated cannons, the enemy will not be able to get close to our Tang army at all."
"Who said no, it's easy to attack the city, as long as the city wall is not like our Chang'an City, with such a red-coated cannon continuous bombardment, it will definitely be able to bomb open."
"That's it, that's it, with this thing, it's too easy for us to destroy the Zhou Kingdom."
"Holy Lord, do we still need the help of Song Guo, I don't think we need it at all."
Everyone looked at Li Yu, they all knew what Li Yu's conditions were for Song Guo, but they felt that this condition was completely unnecessary, with the red-clothed cannon, they still needed to curry favor with Song Guo and let them help out? However, Li Yu smiled lightly: "If Song Guo wants to stay out of the matter, it can't be good, and it can't be done to let Song Guo help Zhou State to be our enemy, so the best way is naturally to mobilize Song State's soldiers and horses to join forces with us, although we can also not lose Zhou State, but in this case, we will not have two."
In the case of defeat and injury, when the Zhou State was destroyed, there was a time when the Song State regretted it. ”
Since Li Yu wants to dominate the world, then he naturally will not let the Song Kingdom be stable, and sooner or later, he will destroy the Song Kingdom.
The results of the red-coated cannon test were not bad, so after going back, Li Yu ordered people to step up the production, and before they moved troops to the Zhou State, they must get enough 100 red-coated cannons.
With these 100 red-coated cannons, there shouldn't be any big problems in destroying the Zhou State.
And just when the craftsmen were stepping up the production of the red-clothed cannon, the news that Zhuge Kongming persuaded the Song State had also spread.
On this day, in the early dynasty, above the main hall, someone told the news.
"Holy Lord, Lord Zhuge has persuaded Song Guo that now Song Guo is willing to join forces with us, and the conditions are exactly those conditions that the Holy Lord promised, so why don't we send a batch of thunderbolts over now."
Hearing that Zhuge Kongming persuaded the Song State, all the ministers in the court were very excited. 、
"Okay, with the Song State joining forces, plus the red-clothed cannon of our Tang Kingdom, there is basically no problem in destroying the Zhou State."
"That's it, that is, the Zhou Kingdom was not particularly strong, our Tang Kingdom was enough to defeat them, and now that the Song Kingdom has joined, we have more opportunities."
"That's right, what I said is not wrong at all, our Tang Kingdom will definitely be able to destroy the Zhou Kingdom."
“…………”
Everyone said excitedly, they didn't seem surprised that Zhuge Kongming was able to persuade Song Guo, they were just a little excited about the news.
It seems that as long as Zhuge Kongming makes a move, there is no one who can't do it.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Yu's mouth, and he said: "Order, immediately send a batch of thunder to the Song State, and also, at the beginning of February, start to gather soldiers and horses to use troops against the Zhou State." ”
If they send troops in February, they will have their first war with Zhou at the end of February, and the first city they will break is the black city of Zhou.
The Black City of the Zhou Kingdom is the city adjacent to the Tang State and the Zhou State, and the Zhou State has hoarded 50,000 soldiers and horses there, if they can break through the Black City, then it will be much easier for them to destroy the Zhou State.
Because of the complex terrain of the Zhou State, there are not many large cities, and the Black City has been broken, and then as long as the Humen Pass is broken again, it can be directly approached by Qin'an City, the capital of the Zhou State.
That is to say, in addition to those topographical factors, as long as their Tang Kingdom captures Heicheng and Humen Pass, they can reach Qin'an City.
Moreover, the Song State also almost had to break through two cities before it could reach Qin'an City.
And as long as the soldiers and horses of the two countries arrive at Qin'an City, then to destroy the Zhou State, there is only one problem of breaking the city.
With the red-coated cannon, are you still afraid of breaking the city? For the Tang State, destroying the Zhou State was an ironclad matter.
