Chapter 926: Preserving Heavenly Principles, Destroying Rebels Fourth
The love of the lion king of China will be Mahmoud. Berry was drinking and partying with his Ghulam brothers, under the walls of the north gate of Stone Town, not far from his mansion. Luo Gang, a military attache covered in sweat and mud, was carefully placing a lit candle next to a coffin!
After glancing at the flickering candle and showing no signs of extinguishing, Luo Gang exhaled and yelled at the three strong men beside him: "Open the coffin!" ”
"Whoa!"
The three strong men answered, and they started together, put the coffin lid up, and put it aside. Inside the coffin...... Empty, of course! There are certainly no gold and silver treasures and "big rice dumplings". Rogan is an expert in sappers, and he did not change his career to become a captain of Touch Jin.
This coffin, oh, is actually not a real coffin, it is a rectangular wooden box, which can hold a person, and it looks a bit like a coffin, so it was given the name "gunpowder coffin".
And this "gunpowder coffin" was carried into this medicine room under the walls of Stone City by Luo Gang and three other strong men - this is not Luo Gang's special intention to show himself, but the regulations in the "Engineer Regulations"! The task of planting explosives and forcibly demolishing people's walls is a heavy responsibility, and Luo Gang, as the commander of the engineers, must do it himself.
If there was an accident, he would have to die with him!
After the lid of the "coffin" was removed, someone was already pushing a cart of gunpowder in a wheelbarrow, and the cat bent down through the dark tunnel to the medicine room.
The wheelbarrows used to transport gunpowder were specially designed, with axles in front and small wheels, which could only carry light loads, but were more agile and suitable for use in narrow tunnels and trenches. In addition, a dump bucket was installed on the axle, and packets of gunpowder were neatly stacked in the dump bucket and tied firmly with hemp rope.
With a little light from the candle, Rogan drew a knife and expertly cut the rope. Then he said, "Pour." ”
The sappers of the cart lifted the handlebar, poured out all the gunpowder packs of a dump, and quickly retreated to load the second cart of gunpowder.
"Start loading!"
Luo Gang gave another order, and the four people in the medicine room immediately divided their labor, and began to pass and stack packets of gunpowder into the "coffin......
At the same moment, Feng Mingshan, the leader of the mercenaries from Wulu Mountain, the Great Liao National Doctor, was lying on the grass less than 100 steps outside the north gate of Stone City with a team of sword and shield hands at this time.
He, the leader of the mercenaries, has brought in thousands of people for the Great Sect! I thought that after arriving in Lingzhou, I could give him a preparation general (battalion commander), at least a deputy preparation, right? But I never thought that the officials of the Great Education Corps were really not so easy to be! You have to join the doctoral group first, and at the same time undergo a short but very strict military training - you have to know how to read and write, and you have to know a little bit of the art of war and martial arts to complete it!
And Feng Mingshan happens to have a bit of a foundation, his family has been a retainer of the Ma family in Lushan Mountain for generations, so he studied and practiced martial arts in the Ma family's school when he was young, and later worked as a thug for the Ma family, and then came forward to do mercenary business on the orders of Ma Zhi.
It is precisely because of this foundation that he was able to complete the promotion assessment. Because he only received a course for the training of fire captains, that is, non-commissioned officers. And it's not a full course of spears, swords and shields, and archers, but only courses of sword and shield fire chiefs.
And the little warrior who has completed the training can theoretically command a sword and shield team under special circumstances (the absence of the superior team and the escort team).
So he is now a captain of the sword and shield team - Wu Haogu hopes that in the future, an officer from the infantry academy can serve as the captain and escort of the new army. However, there are not so many officers available at the moment, so in the new army, including the Kaifeng Model New Army, the team leader and the escort team are all small military attaches who have only received fire commander training.
However, the training course of the fire commander was enough for Feng Mingshan to cope with today's operational command.
Today, he and his shield-bearers will take on the role of "grenadiers". Therefore, in addition to wearing half-body armor (only the front heart, helmet, and the armor of the right hand), and carrying a fan-shaped shield and a straight knife, they also brought fire folds and two bursting arrows.
Half-length armor is worn to reduce weight. Since the general attack will be launched in the early hours of the morning, there is no need to worry too much about the enemy's bows and arrows, so I will not be fully armored.
And carrying the Exploding Arrow is, of course, to perform "black magic". Since the birth of granular gunpowder, the Yuntai Academy, the Knight Academy, and the Harbour Master Academy have not stopped researching gunpowder weapons. Wu Haogu himself even wrote a book "Gunpowder Weapons", which pulled firearms to the same height as infantry, cavalry, and engineers. Moreover, he also put forward many "brain holes" in the book "Gunpowder Weapons", one of which is "throwing bombs".
Now instead of making a bomb, a blasting arrow has been made. It's not hard to make a powder ball that explodes, but it's not easy to make a bomb feel satisfying. Moreover, it is not easy to get a wooden or porcelain shell of gunpowder balls to be thrown, and it is too troublesome to throw them with a stone machine. After all, the size of the stone machine is too large, and it is not easy to manufacture. Moreover, the stone machine is a projectile weapon, which is not easy to hit a moving target.
In contrast, the Burst Rocket is much more valuable, and the Burst Rocket can be thrown as a javelin or fired by an eight-bull crossbow. In particular, the latter was of great use in field combat, because the eight-bull crossbow was a direct-fire weapon and could easily hit the target. And if the target is the enemy's infantry and cavalry array, then a few, a dozen burst rockets may create a huge chaos.
The infantry and cavalry formations, especially the infantry formations, can only be shattered by armored cavalry - so the gunpowder weapon is really a double-edged sword against the infantry-based Great Song Dynasty!
If the Khitans in the north had mastered the secret of granular gunpowder, they would have been able to make the same exploding arrows, and the Eight Ox Crossbow was no secret to the Khitans......
At that time, the infantry formation of the Song army will have to be "bombarded"!
……
When the early hours of the new day arrived, the strong Mahmoud. Berry had just finished a barrage! "Bang" The two blonde and blue-eyed Rose slave girls begged for mercy in unison. After venting his excess energy, Mahmoud. Berry fell asleep in the company of the beautiful woman and fell asleep.
In the dream, General Berry became a hero of the Heavenly Sect, leading the holy warriors of the Qarakhanid Dynasty to attack the Upper and Middle Peach Stones. The brave saint warriors were able to defeat the Taohuashi Han officials and the Gulam guards of the Khitan Emperor in Taohuashi, and fled...... That's as many gullams as the tide, there are 20,000 gurams in the Han official family, and the Khitan emperor has 30,000 guram. But they all completely collapsed in front of the brave Saint Seiya, there were so many enemies who fled, and countless horses' hooves beat on the ground, so that the earth shook!
No, how could a horse's hooves shake the ground?
And...... How can there still be the sound of a woman screaming?
Mahmoud. Berry was woken up by a woman's scream. He opened his eyes suddenly, and in the darkness he found a mess in the bedroom, cabinets, mirrors, hangers, all lying on the ground. The two Ross women were screaming like crazy, shouting "Pimple! Pimple! "I don't know what is crazy?
"What's going on?" Berry roared.
The two women were yelled at by him, but they didn't dare to cry, and they all lay on the ground, trembling.
"Sir Hakmu!"
Outside the door came the shouts of one of Berry's old servants: "It seems, as if there is a great earthquake!" Knocked down a section of the wall!? ”
"What!?" Berry stood up suddenly, his brain was buzzing, his legs and stomach were a little weak, and the whole person was a little confused. After a while, he heard the sound of drums and shouts outside, and he reacted and yelled: "Chain mail!" ”
The two Ross women heard his roar and hurriedly smeared and found Berry's chain mail and helmet. Regardless of the fact that he was not wearing any clothes now, he put on a piece of chain mail and buckled up his helmet.
Then the two slave girls found boots, scimitars, and belts, and put them on for General Berry.
Mahmoud. Berry rushed out of his room, dressed neatly, and as soon as he reached the courtyard, he saw a group of Ghulam, who had been drunk the previous night, had come out to assemble with chain mail, helmets, and scimitars.
Not to mention, Ghulam's reaction is much faster than that of the Knight Knights of Ikota! At least they live in the barracks, and they are ready to go to war.
But at this time, the shouting and killing outside had already risen, and Berry couldn't understand what he was shouting, because he was shouting in Chinese!
"Looks like the infidels have come in!" Mahmoud did not appear to be alarmed at all and said loudly to his Ghulam brothers, "But what awaits them in Stone City is only the warriors and death of Allah!" Allah is Greater! Follow me, Gullam warriors! ”
"Allah is great!"
The crowd raised their scimitars and cheered. As brave Qulam and warriors of Allah, they never doubted their bravery. And always believe that victory will belong to Allah's side - if today's enemy is the Seljuk Turkic Sultan, then no one can guarantee victory, after all, the Sultan guards the Caliphate and the Holy Sepulchre.
But today it is only the infidels who will be fighting...... A group of infidels who have mastered terrible black magic!
When the Ghulam warriors followed their leader out of the palace and onto the wide street, they were surprised to find that the tall, sturdy, ancient north gate of the Stone City had disappeared in the distance, under the light of a dim light and strange fireballs that rose from time to time! What's going on? The houses on the street are basically intact, how can a city gate tower collapse alone? Could it be that this earthquake is still targeted?
