Qian Song

Chapter 75
...

Although Wang Zhen didn't take Tan Zhen's advice very seriously, but Tan Zhen's fearful attitude towards Li Cun, the key point is that Li Cun has indeed defeated Tan Zhen twice, and more importantly, as a veteran who was born in the general family and has been battle-tested Wang Ting is very clear that despising the enemy strategically is a manifestation of daring to fight the enemy and is the prerequisite for victory in the war, while tactically one must pay attention to the enemy, which is good at fighting the enemy and guarantees victory.

Based on this, Wang Ting found Zhang Wei, who was also from the general family, and had a good chat with him about Li Cun.

What made Wang Ting even more vigilant was that Zhang Wei also said that Li Cun was very good at seizing the opponent's mistakes to expand the results of the battle. He suggested that Wang Ting had better wait for the rear troops to come up and fight Li Cun upright.

It's not that Wang Ting couldn't listen to Zhang Hao's advice, but the order he received was to send the Huben army back to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible to prevent the Huben army from fleeing to the Central Plains.

This is a dead order with no room for bargaining.

There was no other way, Wang Ting could only politely reject Zhang Hao's suggestion.

But then again, Tan Zhen and Zhang Wei have already issued warnings to Wang Tin, and before sending troops, Tong Guan also told Wang Tin that he must be careful about Li Cun.

This made Wang Ting have to be cautious about the next battle.

After thinking about it for a day and a night, Wang Ting said to Zhang Wei: "I have a plan. If Li Cun's thief comes to attack me, he must be defeated and return. Come here with your ear..."

……

Shaobo Town, on Baiyang Mountain.

Li Cun took the binoculars that he asked Huben Army craftsmen to make for more than two months, and looked towards Gaoyou Army...

For Li Cun, building a telescope is really simple. A convex lens and a concave lens are arranged in a straight line, which is the simplest telescope.

In this era, there is no transparent glass, but there are pure natural crystals.

As for the technology of polishing crystals, it existed as early as the Warring States period, and the technology of polishing crystals in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was already very mature.

Of course, as a person who knows a little bit about everything, Li Cun will definitely not be satisfied with just making a toy.

Under the guidance of Li Cun, the craftsmen of the Huben Army spent more than two months building a refracting telescope for Li Cun by using the principle of the Galileo telescope.

Don't think that this is such a difficult thing to do.

Li Cun once dated a single mother with a pair of lovely twin daughters.

In order to hit a home run, Li Cun bought a presbyopic lens with a larger diameter and focal length from the store as the objective lens and a concave lens with a smaller focal length and diameter as the eyepiece. Make another simple pedestal.

Thus a telescope capable of seeing the mountains on the moon, the stars in the Milky Way and the satellites of Jupiter was made.

With this skill, Li Cun took care of the little twins and completed the first killing of their mother that night.

Later, if the single mother hadn't remarried her ex-husband so that the lovely daughter could have a complete family, Li Cun might have a pair of lovely twin stepdaughters.

Uh... that's a long way off.

Using this telescope to observe the enemy's situation is really overkill.

The key is that every time you use it, you have to focus, which is too time-consuming.

The key point is that although this telescope is not too big, it is still not very convenient for war.

Li Cun used this telescope to observe Song Jun coming from Gaoyou Army, and thought: "I will ask the craftsman to make me some telescopes that can be used as soon as they are stretched. I will leave this to Qian. Astronomical."

After carefully looking at it again and again, Li Cun murmured: "Strange, strange, really strange."

Chen Kuutong at the side asked, "Did the governor see anything strange?"

Li Cun handed the binoculars to Chen Kuutong and asked him to have a look too.

Although this is not the first time Chen Houtong has used a telescope, he is still shocked by this magical treasure, and he is even more in awe of its creator, Li Cun.

After searching for a long time with binoculars, Chen Kuutong found the more than 1 Song troops coming from Gaoyou and the supply unit composed of more than 2 civilians.

After observing carefully for a while, Chen Kuutong said firmly, "There must be fraud in it."

Li Cun asked: "You also look at it?"

Chen Kuutong nodded: "This Song army seems to be marching carelessly, but in fact it has been on alert all the time, and there are no horse troops in its army. This is not the way the Song army marched."

Chen Kuutong thought for a while and said, "Great Governor, can you see behind it with this precious mirror?"

Li Cun asked: "Do you also suspect that this Song army is bait?"

Chen Kuupong said: "This is the only explanation."

Li Cundao: "Wait a minute, the enemy is still far away from here, and the army behind it may not be long after leaving Gaoyou's army."

When Chen Kuutong heard that the binoculars could see so far, he said with emotion: "With this precious mirror, if there is a sudden change in the military revolution, you can see the enemy's troops, horses, equipment, and equipment from a distance, and you will know whether the base is ready or not, and I have it." Precaution is prevention, it is better to fight than to defend or to defend in security, it is a great achievement!"

In the era of cold weapons, the generals commanding battles had to have a panoramic view of the battlefield, relying on their high positions and good eyesight.

But human eyesight has a limit, how can it compare with the distance seen by a telescope?As for the clarity, it is even more different.

Don't say anything else, just say just now.

If another general with good eyesight came, not to mention that he would not be able to see that far, and he would not be able to see the expressions of the soldiers of the Song Army clearly, and it would be impossible for him to judge that the Song Army was bombed so easily.

This is the power of technology.

About half an hour later, the Song army arrived at the foot of Baiyang Mountain and found a place to rest and eat.

Kong Lengzi hurried over: "Great Governor, the Song army is eating, if they rush down the mountain at this time, the enemy will be defeated."

Han Bie, who took over the guarding horse army temporarily in place of the wounded Niu Wei, echoed: "Yes, our horse army can break this army with just one charge, and then slowly strangle it."

Li Cun and Chen Kuutong glanced at each other and said in unison: "If these two guys are allowed to lead the army this time, then this big defeat will be settled."

Li Cun didn't talk nonsense, but handed the binoculars to Kong Lengzi, so that Kong Lengzi could take a good look at the Song Army at the foot of the mountain.

Kong Lengzi, who had already played with the binoculars, took the binoculars and looked down in confusion.

After watching for a while, Kong Lengzi murmured: "It's just eating, there's nothing wrong with it."

Han Bie snatched the binoculars over to have a look, and then let out a little surprise.

Kong Lengzi asked, "What are you talking about?"

Han Bie said: "When they eat, they keep all their weapons at hand, and they are too cautious, as if they know they will be attacked."

Hearing what Han Bie said, Kong Lengzi quickly snatched the binoculars and looked at it carefully again.

This time, Kong Lengzi also saw the problem: "It is indeed as you said, is there any fraud?"

Li Cun taught Confucius a lesson: "In the future, use your brain more, you are not making progress, how can I entrust you with important tasks?"

In fact, Li Cun liked Kong Lianzi very much. He took the lead every time he fought, and he was especially good at fighting. The key point was that he was extremely loyal to Li Cun.

But when it comes to criticism, Li Cun must also criticize Kong Lianzi. If he can't even see such an obvious loophole, he may only be at the mercy of Li Cun in his life, and it is impossible to become a general in his own right.

Han Bie, on the other hand, is not bad.

After criticizing Kong Lengzi, Li Cun asked Kong Lengzi and Han Bie to look into the distance with binoculars.

When the two saw this, they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat!
It turned out that far behind this Song army, there were still [-] armed horse troops with neat ranks and ranks!
Kong Lengzi and Han Bie coincided with each other in fear: "Fortunately, the governor has this precious mirror!"

Unexpectedly, Li Cun seemed to be able to see through the thoughts of the fool and Han Bie, and said: "At the end of the war, you are still a human being, and the rest are all foreign things. If you can't watch, listen, and think more, I will fight for thousands of miles." Even if the mirror is given to you, it is useless, sooner or later the enemy will take it away and use it to beat you instead."

Kong Lengzi and Han Bie listened to Li Cun's lesson honestly.

After Li Cun finished his lesson, Kong Lengzi dared to ask: "General Governor, how should our army deal with the enemy's trick?"

Li Cun looked in the direction of Gaoyou's army, and said leisurely: "We sent [-] elite troops to attack Yangzhou. How many soldiers are left in Tan Zhen's place? I'll take you there to see what happens?"
