Chapter 602: Looking Forward to Shenfei
(Thank you for the valuable monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Demon Possession", and I hope to continue to pay attention and correct.) Brother Y, I was deceived by your name, it turns out that the word 翾 doesn't read hua
What a shame! You've taught me another lesson! )
If the progress of the siege a few days ago made Han Sui Zhang Wei's brows stretch, today they have deeply formed a Sichuan character, the combat power of the defenders seems to have been greatly strengthened overnight, although the arrows shot by those archers are not as dense as the days ago, but the arrows are not in vain, what is even more odious is that they are not mainly to shoot the soldiers of the coalition army, but try to seriously injure them, which is a rare scene to see in the war, which requires the shooters to have extremely good psychological quality and superb archery skills, After being provoked by Commander Zhou yesterday, the White Tiger Battalion also began to go all out, as for this method of shooting and wounding the enemy without taking his life, it was proposed by a commander named Wu Liang in the White Tiger Battalion.
In addition to these archers, the rest of the defenders also appeared to be more sophisticated, the same rolling wood and stones, the same golden soup boiling oil, the timing of their pouring was just right, and because the speed of cooperation was much faster than before, these actions were the result of thousands of tempers, and it was obvious that this group of soldiers had much more experience in defending the city than the defenders of the previous days.
Of course, it's not just these two changes, what makes the siege soldiers feel chilling is the five giant launchers standing above the city, whether it is range or power, the thunderbolt is not comparable to the launch vehicles of the coalition forces, not to mention that they also have a condescending advantage, a few days ago, the siege equipment that showed off its might in front of the thunderbolt was as vulnerable as a toy, and it was suppressed almost as soon as it came into contact, and the boulders from above the city easily made them into waste, After that, the target of the thunderbolt turned to the opponent's well, and it cooperated with the White Tiger Battalion's Cloud Piercing Bow and Xuanwu Battalion to form a long, medium and close three-dimensional attack on the enemy troops under the city, making them tremble, this is still the effect of ordinary soldiers' operation, if the Vermilion Bird Battalion is changed, the power is even more.
After the offensive lasted for nearly an hour, Sima Yi had to order a pause, at this time the city was already a corpse of siege soldiers, more of these were wounded soldiers who hugged their legs or screamed miserably, and the defenders at the head of the city had no interest in harvesting their lives! If the attack continues, in addition to causing greater casualties, there will be no gain, after nearly half a month of silence, Liu Yijun finally showed his sharp fangs, so the offensive of the coalition army must be improved against it, at this time, Han Sui and Zhang Wei's faces were already a little blue, this Liu Yi can really endure until this time!
Watching the tide of the enemy retreat, the city tower couldn't help but thunder, the depression of the past ten days was swept away, and Zhang Yan and Zhou Cang looked at each other and shook their heads in excitement, both of them regretted that they were too ruthless, and they were happy, but they failed to bring more huge casualties to the enemy! While the defenders continued to cheer, they invariably turned their bodies to the city tower where Liu Yi and Zhang Hu were, and even raised their arms one by one to greet the general.
Seeing this, Liu Yi also stood up and raised his right hand to signal to the soldiers, at this time his face smiled extremely brightly, this move made the soldiers even more excited, the word general was shouted by them and shook the ground, at this time the general was only to one person, that is Liu Yi. If you look closely, you will find that there is a thing flashing at the moment when Lang Sheng raises his hand, which is very dazzling.
Liu Yi only glanced at a few glances to know the situation of victory and defeat, his attention was all focused on the luminous thing in his hand, this is a glass crystal, obviously has been polished, it has become extremely transparent, the thickness is about half an inch, the size is an inch square, this thing was sent to Luoyang by Youzhou Kuaima this morning, and it was a craftsman surnamed Wei Mingyi Cui Zeng who created this thing, and it took him a year to polish the crystal to such a point.
Such a crystal is still a rare thing in the late Han Dynasty, generally used as a decoration for large households, but in Liu Yi's eyes, its role is not only that, if it can be polished properly, maybe the appearance of the clairmind will be greatly advanced, this idea was already seven or eight years ago Liu Yi had it, but it has not been put into action, the reason is that he has made a mistake.
The advantage of crossing is that he has a forward-looking vision, and can improve some of the current utensils, especially in the military field, but not everything is improved to receive results, such as bilateral stirrups, Liu Yi was still quite excited at that time, and it did enhance the combat power of the cavalry, but soon he discovered the drawbacks, although this thing makes it easier to ride a horse, but it also makes the soldier's riding foundation regressive, and it has no technical content at all, and it will be easily imitated by the enemy! For Liu Yi, who was not strong at that time, it was worth the loss, and later the drills of the Iron Cavalry Battalion all used unilateral stirrups or even saddleless horses, and only in wartime would this thing be used, which was Liu Yi's method of making amends, and also made him realize a truth, before his own power has grown, advanced technology may not have good results!
Therefore, it was not until the battle of Sili that Liu Yi sat in the land of Sanzhou that the appearance of the Vermilion Bird Battalion's Sky Cannon began, and the cloud-piercing bow of the White Tiger Battalion generally has a higher technical content than the stirrup, who will be imitated by others, but after all, there is still a process, and more importantly, Liu Yi already has considerable strength, and then it is the establishment of the Flying Tiger Army and the continuous improvement of sea ships.
If there is a clairvoyant, not only can it be used in the infantry army, the role of the navy is greater, but the process is also extremely difficult, under the technical means at that time, it has gone through a long process to turn the crystal into a thin slice in his hands today, which contains a lot of process improvements, then Wei Yi Wei Cui was one of the best, those physics knowledge in middle school Liu Yi has long been returned to the teacher, he can't even remember the principle of the telescope, and Du Niang died young, and there is no way to check it, but this does not mean that he has no way, you can still tell the idea in your heart to those skilled craftsmen, let them explore it again, and it is clear that today it has already borne fruit.
Although the flat glass piece in his hand has not yet enlarged or reduced the effect, this first step has been successfully taken, and the next progress will never be slow, Liu Yi will not urge this, he has patience, after all, these are just icing on the cake for him and not a must!
"Zicai, Yun Miao and Bo Ming fought beautifully in this battle, especially the battle method of wounding but not killing is even more exquisite, I will praise it later." After the soldiers vented to their heart's content, Liu Yi pressed down with both hands to stop their shouts, and turned back to Zhang Hu and said, this method is well known to him, if the soldiers are killed, cremation or burial can be solved, but the seriously injured must be taken care of, and if they ignore it, they will lose people's hearts. This trick was extremely effective for him to delay the coalition forces, and he had never thought of it before, but now he woke up.
"The lord's words are reasonable, especially at this time, and it seems that it can be used many times in the future, but it still needs to be grasped well." Xi Zhicai also said when he heard this.
"Lord, military advisor, the two of us did not live up to the trust, did not let an enemy army climb the tower, today's battle can be described as hearty, I think Han Sui Zhang Wei has to worry." At this time, Zhang Yan and Zhou Cang had already walked up the city tower quickly and came to Liu Yi, Zhang Yan said excitedly.
"Yun Miao, don't be too complacent, don't forget what Liu said last night, presumably the enemy army will also respond quickly, you two must not take it lightly." Liu Yi smiled and nodded, but his words had the meaning of reminding him that today's battle situation was expected.
"Don't worry, the lord knows the severity." Zhang Yan replied with a straight face when he heard this, the lord had said many times that ordinary soldiers could cheer for victory to their heart's content, and as a general, in addition to those experiences, he had to be able to quickly forget about victory, that was just a thing of the past! In addition to the growth of experience and confidence will help you in the next battle, emotions can be avoided, Liu Yi not only said this, but also has always done this, as a general, Zhang Yan naturally understands.
"Okay, who came up with the tactics of wounding the enemy and not killing the enemy in the White Tiger Battalion today, Liu wants to meet this person, and this method can be implemented in the defense of the city in the future, but if you are not completely sure, don't do it deliberately, so as not to expose flaws!" To the general Liu Yi has always been to the point, he mentioned what he said to Zhang Hu just now, the last words of the military advisor are this meaning, it is not easy to hurt the enemy without killing it, it takes an elite like the White Tiger Battalion to master the mystery.
"This matter is still taught by the lord well, if it weren't for the method discussed before the war, how could ordinary soldiers have the opportunity to speak out about the war, Wu Liang! Come up, you kid, my lord wants to see you! It was Zhou Cang who answered this, and it was Liu Yi's brainstorming method that made the opinions of the whole camp unimpeded, which would be difficult to achieve in the Yellow Turban Army or other princes' armies, but in this way, it greatly strengthened the initiative of the soldiers! After Zhou Cang finished speaking, he yelled at the bottom of the city tower.
Listening to the commander's shout, a soldier who was not strong but looked extremely flexible immediately ran to the city tower at the most standard pace, his face was solemn, but his eyes were full of excitement, it was a great honor for every soldier to be able to get the general to practice in person, and naturally he also got the envy of all his comrades, and for a time this captain became the focus of the whole army.
"Wu Liang, the commander of the fourth song of the third army of the White Tiger Battalion, has seen the general, the military division!" Wu Liang forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and steadily ran to Liu Yi and knelt down on one knee in front of him, and said in an extremely loud voice.
"Hahaha, good Wu Liang, get up, you are a meritorious man in this battle, tell Liu Mou, how did you have this method?" Liu Yi has always been approachable to ordinary soldiers, and rarely has any fights, which is one of the reasons why he is respected by soldiers, after laughing at the moment, he helped Wu Liang up with one hand, looked at him with admiration and asked easily.
"Tell the general, the general has an order, our soldiers must not easily give up any of their comrades, even their corpses, there are many brothers in the army who died in battle to rescue their wounded comrades, but when marching or confronting the enemy, they must devote a lot of energy to take care of them, think that our army is like this, the enemy army is the same, and this time they are from afar, which can increase their consumption of food and grass." In front of Liu Yi, Wu Liang stood upright like a javelin, and he said it loudly in the previous paragraph, but when he got to the back, he lowered his voice, but he seemed very clever.
"Who taught you these words?" When Liu Yi heard this, the expression of appreciation in his eyes was even heavier, so even Zhang Hu beside him nodded again and again, and looked at this Wu Changlai carefully.
"Tell the general, some of them are in the commander's teaching, some are in the middle school of the Youzhou Martial Academy, and some of the subordinates can think of it themselves." This time, Wu Liang did not lower his voice, under Liu Yi's gentle and appreciative gaze, he felt that his words would be more powerful than usual!
"Good! is worthy of my Liu Yi's soldiers! Say, what reward do you want? Liu Yi said with a smile.
"The subordinates don't dare to ask the general for a reward, they just want to kill more enemies, and after the victory, the general can personally issue a golden sword to his subordinates!" Wu Liang said very seriously.
"It's a deal, let's go!" Liu Yi also made a promise very seriously, Wu Liang heard the words and knelt down to salute the general and turned around and went down the tower, this time his steps were more calm and powerful, his head was held high, and his spirit was full of anticipation!
