Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 195 On the edge of the Qinling Mountains, there is water like blood

In fact, Wu Jie's thoughts were not what Liu Wei thought. As for the main purpose of him mentioning Wang Chongyang and his rebel army at this time, he hoped to be able to contact Wang Chongyang and put a certain amount of pressure on the Kingdom of Jin. Resolve the situation in front of you.

Therefore, when Liu Wei mentioned Qingxu Sanren instead of Wang Chongyang, Wu Jie immediately understood, smiled and waved his hands and said, "Qingxu Sanren is famous, I have heard of it, but Liu Wei, I am I hope to cooperate with Wang Chongyang, there is no other meaning."

It is actually very difficult for a person like Wu Jie to open his mouth to explain for himself, and Liu Wei is also very aware of this, so when Wu Jie said this with a wry smile, Liu Wei knew that he might have misunderstood it.But even so, Liu Wei didn't think there was any possibility of cooperation between Wu Jie and Wang Chongyang. First of all, Wang Chongyang would not be able to pass that test.

Because Liu Wei knew that in Wang Chongyang's heart, he still had a lot of resentment towards the imperial court, or he didn't have the slightest liking for the imperial court at all.Before the fall of Xianyang City, court officials committed crimes in Xianyang City, and after being captured by Jin people, they were replaced by Jin people dominating Xianyang City. What good will come of it.

Shaking his head, Liu Wei also told Wu Jie the truth.

As a result, Wu Jie suddenly showed regret, looked at Liu Wei and waved his hands, "Forget it, let's not think too much about these things, Liu Wei, the scout found that there are nearly ten thousand gold soldiers attacking me in two directions The camp is rushing, and although our army has 5000 people in name, but the actual number of soldiers capable of fighting is less than [-], how do you think it will be decided?"

At this time, Liu Wei was in the tent of Wu Jie's big camp. In this tent, besides Wu Jie's brothers, there were several generals of the Song Army, and any one of them was much higher than Liu Wei, a mere guerrilla general. Jie doesn't ask others but only asks Liu Wei, which shows that he attaches great importance to Liu Wei.

But Liu Wei didn't know if he was qualified to speak at will. In his opinion, Wu Jie must have asked other generals this question, otherwise, the expressions on the faces of those generals would not have changed at all.

"But it doesn't matter!"

When Wu Jie said this, Liu Wei knew that he had seen through his anxiety.He changed his mind: Since the purpose of joining the army here at Wu Jie is to gain fame, increase officials and ranks so that he can do the secret work, why bother to look forward and back, and hesitate to move forward?

With that in mind, Liu Wei immediately took a deep breath, held his head high and said, "My lord, generals, the last general thinks that nearly [-] golden soldiers are not enough!"

"Oh, how do you say that?"

Although it was a question, Liu Wei noticed that there was a hint of approval and encouragement in Wu Lin's eyes, so he said calmly:
"The generals also know that the monks we are in are easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to the practice of Jin people, the two groups of Jin soldiers must have more cavalry and fewer infantry. Although there is no time to investigate one by one in the future. , but as far as the main area is concerned, cavalry can't give full play to their advantages in Heshangyuan, which is one of the biggest disadvantages for the Jin people who are used to cavalry warfare."

"One of the big disadvantages? Liu Wei, you mean that there are the second and third major disadvantages? When you say this, I become more confident and continue to carry on. I haven't been this happy for a long time! "

Although Wu Jie's words are a bit exaggerated, it also shows the nervousness of the monks and generals these days. After all, everything is just Wu Jie's prediction. Without actual combat, no one can guarantee that a mere monk and three to five thousand Soldiers and horses can stop the attack of Jin soldiers.

"The second disadvantage of the Golden Army lies in the terrain. My lords and gentlemen, this monk is originally ups and downs. When we are stationed, we only need to occupy the high ground and use crossbows, flying stones, etc. to fight easily without any casualties. It is connected with the highlands by secret passages and corridors, which is convenient for dispatching troops and replenishing supplies. As long as these secret passages and corridors are still there, the golden soldiers will never think about going one step further!"

"Highlands, dark passages, corridors."

The three concepts put forward by Liu Wei caused Wu Jie and others to fall into contemplation. After a while, Wu Jie clapped his hands and sighed, "Liu Wei, Liu Wei, the ancients often said that a thousand soldiers are easy to get but a general is hard to find. You will be able to support one hundred thousand soldiers, it seems that Tang Qing can find you in Hanzhong, it is really a blessing for the court, and I am a blessing for Wu Jie!"

"Brother, it was Liu Yi who took the initiative to find me, not me." Wu Lin corrected his elder brother with a smile, while the other generals smiled one after another.The generals under the command of Wu Jie are still simple, without too much intrigue, and the structure of interests. Wu Jie and Wu Lin are optimistic about Liu Wei, and they naturally accept Liu Wei.

"Your Excellency is overrated!"

Liu Wei slightly shook his head and cupped his hands, and then said: "My lord, if you say so, the third big disadvantage of the golden man is that the last general is really afraid to say it."

"Oh? I almost forgot, keep going, I really want to be happy and happy today!"

"Obey! My lord, generals, the third big disadvantage of the Jinren is that they split into two groups, giving us a chance to attack them separately!"

"Break it separately? Liu Wei, didn't you just say that you should rely on the terrain to reduce casualties? Where did the idea of ​​breaking it separately come from?" Wu Lin frowned slightly and asked Liu Yi.

"My lord, what the general just said about defending is actually a strategy adopted when targeting dozens of times the enemy. In the eyes of the general, there is no need to be so careful with the golden soldiers! , I would like to ask your lord for orders, and with 500 people, I will be able to defeat the Jinren army within three days!"

As soon as Liu Wei said this, all the generals in the tent, including Wu Jie, fell into deep thought.

Isn't that right, even though Liu Wei is Xiao Yuanba Gao Chong's life and death brother, even if Liu Wei assassinated Nian Han together with Wang Chongyang, these things are already in the past, and none of the people present witnessed it with their own eyes. It doesn't really explain Liu Wei's ability.

Now, the monk's army is only 3000 people, and Liu Wei will ask for 500 people when he opens his mouth. If he wins, let it go. ?Such a decision, even Wu Jie, would not dare to make it lightly!
Seeing the expressions on the faces of these generals of the Song Army, Liu Wei was not surprised at all.To be honest, if Wu Jie agreed immediately as soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Wei would be nervous instead, maybe there is some conspiracy involved!

"My lord, if it's difficult, the last general only needs 100 people, how about it? But if a certain general succeeds by luck."

"Okay! I'll give you 100 men, plus [-] cavalry from your own command. If you successfully defeat the Jinbing army, I will ask for credit for you and promote you when you come back!"

Liu Wei is advancing by retreating. The others in the tent may not have seen it through, but how could Wu Jie, the commander in chief, not understand it?And he immediately gave Liu Wei a Chen promise, which is to push the boat along the way and kill two birds with one stone.

An agreement was reached between the two, but Wu Lin was still a little nervous. After all, there were only 150 people in Liu Yilong. Even if he was covered in iron, how many nails could he drive?The invading Jinbing army has at least 5000 people, how will Liu Wei deal with it?

"My lord, the general has a small request."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"The general needs to order [-] such crossbows. I wonder if my lord can satisfy the general's request?"

Liu Wei casually took out a Qin crossbow bolt from his quiver and handed it to Wu Lin.After scrutinizing it for a moment, Wu Lin shook his head in surprise, and handed it to Wu Jie.

"What kind of crossbow bolt is this? Why is it so different from the crossbow bolt used by our army?"

The Song Army actually attached great importance to the manufacture and use of long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.In the Song Dynasty, one of the important indicators to measure the combat power of a general was how many catties of bows he could use.

One song catty is roughly equivalent to six hundred grams of later generations, and it is recorded in history that Yue Fei can open a bow of three hundred catties, which is equivalent to saying that Yue Fei can use a strong bow with a tension of 180 kilograms. Such a bow, the power of the arrow is far away. It surpassed the attack power of the British longbowmen at the end of the fourteenth century.

As for crossbows, there are two kinds of crossbows commonly used by the Song army, namely the bed crossbow used to defend the city, and the god arm crossbow that can be carried by a single soldier on the battlefield.

The bed crossbow is not easy to set up, and the operation is complicated. It takes a dozen or so people to play it, but the range is more than 350 steps. As for the god arm crossbow, the range can reach more than [-] steps.Theoretically speaking, such a sharp weapon is enough to guarantee the Song Army's military leadership, but in fact, due to government corruption and other reasons, it is often difficult for these weapons to meet the standards.

"My lord, this is a kind of crossbow used by the last general's hometown. Its range is not as good as our army's bed crossbow and god arm crossbow, but it is light and easy to string, and its power is mainly related to the structure of the arrowhead. Prepare three thousand crossbow arrows for the general within three days, and the general will be [-]% sure that he will kill the Jinren army!"

"Oh?"

After Liu Wei said this, Wu Jie couldn't help but look at the cluster of crossbow arrows in his hand again.

Liu Wei is not lying. The Qin crossbow is indeed not as powerful as the god arm crossbow, let alone the bed crossbow. However, the design and structure of the Qin crossbow are more exquisite. More than the Song crossbow at this time, it is more important that the crossbow equipment and the specially shaped crossbow bolts together ensure the accuracy and penetration, and most of the secrets are actually above the arrow clusters.

If it wasn't for the sake of speeding up his advancement in the Song Army, Liu Wei wouldn't be willing to reveal the whole secret.

"Tang Qing, you personally supervise this matter, and make [-] crossbow bolts according to this pattern within three days, and there must be no mistakes!"

"As ordered!"

Wu Lin took the crossbow, held it in both hands, looked at it again and again, finally shook his head and said: "Brother, this crossbow looks simple, but it is really not easy to make!"

"Nonsense! Let those craftsmen study it carefully. Liu Yi has given us a big gift! Liu Wei, I will write down this achievement for you!"

"Thank you, my lord, the last general dare not take credit for it!" Liu Wei bowed his hands in thanks, but in his heart he secretly praised Wu Jie for really understanding the truth and not wasting his thoughts in vain.But in the future, Liu Wei still has to go back to discuss with Wu Anbang and others. After three days, he will go to fight with Jingou.
