In the face of Niu Jinda's worries, Suning also felt a little pity, but after looking at the military university students around him, he remembered the forty students who had been sleeping for a long time, and Suning said: "Niu Shuai, is the life of the bureaucrat important, or is the life of the student important?" In the last battle, we have lost forty students in total, this loss is too great, we can't bear it at all, this time after the battle, we have to build a war to the imperial court, the students of the military university will go on an expedition, mainly to break the enemy as the task, capture more prisoners, this kind of thing, hand it over to other armies......"

Looking at Suning's gloomy complexion, Niu Jinda felt uncomfortable in his heart, he lost the lives of forty students in one battle, this is only a thousand people in total, they are all literate treasures, just like forty scholars, or people in the army, it is even more precious, and it hurts to die if you lose one, let alone forty? But if the jade is not cut, it will not be able to fight, how to grow, but what Suning said is also right, the matter of capturing prisoners will obviously increase casualties, and it was enough to win the battle, but now it is necessary to capture prisoners......

After these forty students died in battle, the other students cried like that, Niu Jinda felt uncomfortable, everyone has been together for more than a year, and they all have feelings, Niu Jinda poured all his efforts into the military university, the students are like his sons, many of the students who died in the war, many of them can be named, and a few of them he has personally tutored and beaten with his own hands, they are all very smart and promising students, and they can definitely be generals if they survive, but they died in the hands of the bureaucrats......

Unnecessary casualties really shouldn't have happened......

Thinking of this, Niu Jinda nodded: "Indeed." Those who could have been generals were all pillars of talent, and they really shouldn't have died in the hands of their wingmen, they were too precious, too precious, so be it, fire attack will attack with fire, burn to death, and there will be more wingmen. It's not as important as a general. Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find! ”

Suning nodded and sighed: "This time I have lost forty students, and when I return to Chang'an, I don't know how Your Majesty will be sad and punish me." I don't know how long it will be low in the military university. The previously erected Shrine of the Loyal Soul and the Monument to the Heroes can finally come in handy. But, if I could, I wish these things would always be an ornament. Then no one will ever die. ”

Niu Jinda patted Suning's shoulder and said, "How can there be a war of the undead?" We should be glad that there are only forty, not four hundred, if there are four hundred, our military university will not continue, the counterinsurgency will be exhausted, how can we talk about entering the army? In the future, I have to make a plan, such a big loss is really unbearable, and if I fight in the future, I still need the cooperation of other armies. ”

Suning nodded: "Simply, in the future, let these students temporarily serve as grass-roots officers, enter the army, send an army, the officers are all students, find an experienced general and a group of experienced middle-level generals, under the premise of ensuring safety, but also train them fiercely, they are all going to be generals, it is good to exercise earlier, take these students as soldiers, it feels like taking those scholars in Taixue as soldiers, this is spread out, I don't know how many people will scold us." ”

Niu Jinda thought about it for a while, and agreed: "This is a saying, after I go back, I will talk to His Majesty, this loss is completely unnecessary, well, let's do it, let's finish this battle first, after the fight, let's talk slowly!" Saying that, Niu Jinda patted Suning's shoulder, turned around and went to rectify the army, Suning thought for a while, and then reorganized the team, arranged the army on both sides of the canyon, and waited for the appearance of the wingman army at any time.

Although he really wants to save the lives of more military university students, how can Suning be embarrassed to send them to death for those Han people who sacrificed their lives to follow the Tang army to quell the rebellion? What's the difference between that and a beast? So in the end, I discussed with Niu Jinda, Niu Jinda said that he led a small group of military university students to lead 2,000 Han people to set up an ambush at the exit and block the exit, and Suning led the remaining 3,000 people to set up an ambush in the canyon, mainly considering that Suning needs to command the use of the incendiary tank, and Niu Jinda does not understand, so Niu Jinda does the most dangerous thing.

At the same time, the Han people must not think that they have been abandoned, and the supreme commander of the Tang Dynasty will lead them to fight, which is called living and dying together.

Judging by the intelligence, the blood drops of the Zongheng Division believe that the main force of the wingmen will arrive in this canyon at noon today, and Wang Hui's report is more accurate, probably at one o'clock in the afternoon, the vanguard of the wingmen will appear, the wingmen are not stupid, there are also vanguards, but the number is not much, about five hundred, Wang Hui's opinion is to let these five hundred people pass, and then intercept and kill the main force, these five hundred people will not become the climate, and when the time comes, the army blocking the exit can divide a part of the people to deal with them, The key is that there is a gap of hours between the vanguard and the main force of the wingmen, and this gap can be used well.

It should be noted that those spies who are running back and forth need the most attention, the least can be killed, and they need to be let pass on the news that the main force of the wingmen is safe in this canyon, and then Suning will have the opportunity to use the incendiary canister to wipe out the wingmen.

Very pertinently, Suning accepted, ordered Wang Hui to pay attention to safety, stay in place after the reconnaissance, provide the last information after the wingmen troops were cleared, and then wait for the Chengdu army, block the entrance of the wingmen with them, and not let a wingman leave.

Suning himself ordered Meng Yu and Wang Xuance to lead 1,500 people to ambush on the opposite mountain, take away half of the burning canisters, and carefully instructed them the key points of use and precautions for the use of the two incendiary canisters, including checking whether the cloth is wet before use, and then let them leave, Suning himself led the remaining 1,500 people, leaving Xue Rengui, a big killing weapon, as a vanguard, and arranging the army to go down.

At this time, it was about eleven o'clock in the morning, two hours and an hour before Wang Hui's estimated arrival time of the main force of the wingmen, and after a while, Suning received a message from the flying pigeon, which was sent by Wang Hui.

Sure enough. It didn't take long for Suning to discover the vanguard of the wingmen, quickly passed through this long canyon, and did not find the ambush of the Tang army, and in front of them, where they were going, Suning also greeted and left the army, if they did not notice that the main force of the army was ambushed and rushed directly to Jiazhou and Lingzhou, there were also big gifts waiting for them. In a word. This main force of 30,000 wingmen will surely die.

After the vanguard was cleared, five or six spies came one after another to run back and forth, and the wingmen were not stupid. In other words, there are also people who are not stupid among the wingmen. Know the importance of spies. But a smart person does not mean that the whole staff is smart, these spies only know how to look in front of them, and rarely even look around. Not to mention looking up at the top of the canyon, where thousands of troops from the Tang Dynasty were waiting for them with incendiary canisters, but they didn't know it.

Suning slowly sneered, and his heart became more and more excited, the first appearance of the combustion tank, if it is very successful, can be used as a great incentive for the big leap in Datang's oil production, although edible oil should not be used for war, but when necessary, it is okay to use it, and then it can stimulate the production of Datang oil, this oil is oil.

Burning with edible oil, obviously not as good as oil, edible oil is still better for eating, as for oil, well, Suning seems to know a Daqing oil field, still in the northeast, and now it is still in the hands of Goguryeo, damn it, launch the Northeast campaign in advance? Well, isn't that?

However, if Li Ermajesty knew that there was a large amount of fire oil stored there, it is estimated that he would be very tempted, a considerable part of the oil in this period was paid by foreign countries, and Datang also produced fire oil, but people did not know how to explore and explore, and the utilization rate was very low.

Glass is still a more powerful luxury than oil, although Suning feels that this thing is worthless, but it is also troublesome to make zuò, and it also takes time, but the clay pot can be used directly, and then Datang can use the incendiary canister as a new weapon, and use the large launch device such as a trebuchet to launch the incendiary canister, which can have the effect of attacking the city, and will also cause considerable panic.

The power of hot weapons is not comparable to cold weapons for a long time, so the cavalry branch of the military has been in China until the seventies, but the development of hot weapons is exponential, and the development of cold weapons is additional, it is difficult to imagine that two plus two plus two plus two plus two plus two can be compared with the fourth power of two, hot weapons will eventually replace the dominance of cold weapons, however, human beings are still inseparable from cold weapons.

The Tang Dynasty has the most advanced cultural and political system in the world, and also has the most powerful emperors and ministers in the world, the Second Chinese Empire at its peak, what reason is there not to be the first to enter the era of hot weapons? The incendiary canister was the first type of thermal weapon equipped with the standard, and after the invention of gunpowder, the explosive pack would become a more powerful thermal weapon than the incendiary tank for a long time.

As for artillery, this thing is indeed very powerful, the reason why the Japanese were able to press China to fight hard during World War II is that their artillery is too powerful, and the Chinese side has no corresponding artillery support, the same reason, in the Korean Imjin Patriotic War, the Ming army defeated the Japanese army relied on more advanced artillery technology than the Japanese army, it is worth noting that at that time, Japan's musket technology was already more advanced than China, but the artillery technology could not catch up, and was beaten by the Ming army's artillery fire.

Compared with muskets, Suning is more willing to vigorously develop artillery technology, Datang is not short of brave and good fighters, muskets are not in a hurry, with artillery, people will sooner or later pay attention to how to shrink and shrink the artillery, and become a single weapon that can be used by one person, from the perspective of the history of firearms development, it is true that the earliest musket can be regarded as a single artillery.

But the premise of artillery is a strong ability to smelt iron and the ability to make gunpowder, but also to make gunpowder more sophisticated, more useful, primitive gunpowder can really only be used as firecrackers, used in war, can only scare people, the sound is very loud, powerful, almost negligible, so Mr. Lu Xun said that foreigners use gunpowder as weapons to kill people, and Chinese use him to set off firecrackers for festivals, which is somewhat biased.

Time passed slowly, and Suning was almost certain that the main force of the wingmen would appear soon, soon, soon, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster......

The vanguard finally appeared, those ugly people, lined up in a line, crooked like a fat earthworm, if this is the plain, the army of the Tang Dynasty is cavalry, it can definitely kill this army in seconds, this is not an army at all, the march is not in order, the speed is different, it is like a fleeing refugee, there is no will to fight at all, with such an opponent to test the burning can, Suning really feels that it is a killing weapon like the burning canister......

There's no way, let's give it a try, it's an enemy, isn't it?

The canyon is very long, the team of wingmen is longer, it is not an easy thing to block the army of 30,000 people, the front army, the middle army, the rear army, the most basic marching rules are still there, just like that, the middle army appeared, the rear army appeared, marching quickly......

Time's up! Now is the time!

Suning stood up suddenly, pulled out his waist knife and waved it forward, shouting loudly: "Ignition!" Throw incendiary canisters! (To be continued......)
