Chapter 143: Raid on Yuguan (1)

On September 18th, the mist in the early morning is like gauze, and the autumn dew condenses in frost, and there is a hint of late autumn chill.

After lurking in the slanting ditch two miles away from Pingding City, Dong Xian felt his whole body stiff, his nose was a little stuffy, and his words were buzzing. He wanted to move his body curled up in the grass, but he still held it back because during training, this was considered a foul - although the previous training had never been so long, it was a whole night!

Through the gap between the grass leaves, Dong Xian saw the direct Shangguan in this operation, the deputy head and the commander of the team B, and the Zhang Rui who was short of fingers. Although Dong Xian has never been a big deal, even if he is broken, he is more handsome than his, but at this time he saw that the other party was still motionless and lying quietly in front of him like a stone carving, he still felt a little impressed in his heart - he was younger than him and his physical fitness was inferior to his own Shangguan, so he could tolerate it.

After waiting for a while, the autumn sun had already sprinkled a faint residual heat, steaming the dampness on my body half dry, and worms, ants, mosquitoes and other things were drilling into my neck, making itchy. However, the action had not yet begun.

Several soldiers from Dong Xian had already climbed over to ask questions, but it was just why they didn't start attacking. Dong Xian started to scold him in a low voice, saying that Shangguan had his own arrangements, but later he couldn't help it. He crawled forward in the standard posture during training, moved to Zhang Rui, and whispered: "Part lord Zhang, it's dawn this day, Jin Gouzi didn't notice us, and the city gate was also opened, why haven't he attacked yet?"

Zhang Rui didn't look back and said coldly: "When you attack, you have your own arrangements. You just need to keep your energy well. Once you issue an attack command, show your good skills and just rush forward. It's best to be the first to rush to the city."

"I didn't say that, no one can escape me here." Dong Xian pinched the big fist, and then he noticed that Zhang Rui had been using a small copper-shell cylinder to look in front of him and carefully observed forward... It turned out that he was looking at the "Qianli Mile Mile". No wonder he didn't move, it would be fine if he had to change it...

This Qianli Mile Mile is a new equipment, which was temporarily sent to their "Assault Capital" before yesterday. Why is it so good? Dong Xian was also able to get a little addicted. It's really a magical thing, and everything that is far away can be brought closer to the front of him...

"Previous head, show it to me, uh, observe it for me."

Zhang Rui's hair didn't move for a moment: "Get back!"

"Previous head..."

"I said to leave!" This time Zhang Rui turned around, his eyebrows were raised, and the scars on his cheeks were faintly red.

"I'm sure." Dong Xian's cheeks bulged and he honestly retreated.

At this time, the commander of the assault capital, Zhao Neng, also sneaked over from the other end, tightening his "net suit" tightly. He laughed in a low voice: "Soldiers, are you a little impatient?"

Zhang Rui said lightly: "It's mainly because Dong Manzi is impatient."

Zhao Neng smiled silently, took the Qianli Miles mirror handed over by Zhang Rui, stroked the exquisite copper shell with love, and then slowly came to his eyes.

That's right. This is the new equipment called Qianlijing, which is a newly developed military weapon by the military industry department of Tianshu.

During the Battle of Yinmatan, a problem was exposed: that is, because the distance from the enemy cavalry was too far, the commander could not observe that the enemy used heavy armor-breaking arrows and failed to warn and prevent them in time, which caused the troops to suffer undue losses.

From then on, Di Lie realized that the middle and senior officers should be equipped with telescopes. In fact, they should also create a single-scope like the Age of Discovery in the 16th century.

It is not difficult to make a telescope, but it is not easy to say. First, there must be glass, and then use glass of a sufficient thickness to grind into two concave lenses and inlaid with a telescopic copper tube. But glass... In this era, there is only glass, and the transparency is not only the same, but it is still expensive.

Di Lie has several craftsmen who know how to make glass, but it is obviously unrealistic to want them to make glass in a short time. Di Lie's understanding of glass is limited to knowing that its main raw material is quartz sand. As for the specific production process, he is ignorant, and he can't help at all. After all, he is just a special forces soldier, not a glass maker.

Just as Di Lie was worried, he was intimate with Yuanzhu once, he accidentally saw a crystal clear bracelet on her white wrist. He stared at her eyes for a long time without saying anything. He almost frightened Yuanzhu and thought he had been "on the wind".

Di Lie then shouted: "Crystal! Why did I forget this thing?" Then he shivered all over and sprayed a round bead with his face...

Crystal, because it is colorless crystal, is definitely a rare thing in this era, not to mention ordinary families, even rich families, there is gold and silver, but there is not necessarily crystal. However, ordinary families do not have them, rich families do not have them, officials do not have them, and royal families... have them! And there are everything.

Di Lie immediately called Hou Fangjing, the chief financial officer of the Finance and Taxation Bureau, and asked him to bring the list of treasures of the treasury and carefully checked how many colorless and transparent crystals there were. If you didn't check, you would be shocked. After checking, you would be shocked: there were as many as 133 pieces! This is still a colorless crystal. If other colored crystals are added, it will be as many as thousands. Moreover, these crystals are large pieces of raw ore, and one piece is enough to grind out several telescopes.

Later, Di Lie asked Yuanzhu and found out that most of these crystals were tributed by North Korea. Think about it, isn’t there a lot of high-quality crystals in North Korea?

Therefore, these precious royal objects were regarded as experimental items by Di Lie, and were subjected to repeated trials by several glass craftsmen. Grinding concave lenses was originally a technical job, and they were difficult to polish them in the short term without any precedent. However, with Di Lie's scope as a physical reference, the process was greatly accelerated. After grinding and scrapping more than a dozen crystals, the qualified lenses were finally produced...

As soon as the telescope was made, these glass craftsmen were immediately included in the list of key guards, and were closely monitored like the previous muskets and gunpowder craftsmen.

The monocular telescope in Zhao Neng's hand is currently expensive. Just by picking out the two solid-color crystals, it can be used as gold. For such telescopes, the Tianshu City Military Industry Department has only rushed to make two, one for samples, and the other for this attack.

With this telescope, Pingding City, two miles away, was as big and small as his own yard.

Now, in Zhao Neng's camera, the pattern of pacifying the city is in sight.

Pingding City was originally called Guangyang. In the first year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (968), Emperor Taizu of Song attacked the Northern Han Dynasty and conquered Guangyang City. Therefore, Guangyang was changed to Pingding County, which belonged to Pingding Army.

After the establishment of Pingding County, the county town also migrated from Guangyang City dozens of miles away to Yuguan City. Yuguan City was on the high hill. The situation was dangerous. Han Xin attacked Zhaoxia Jingxingkou in the Han Dynasty and stationed troops here. It is said that Han Xin built a city and used it as Yusaimen, so it was named Yuguan.

Yuguan City was not originally large. The city was 348 steps in two miles and the city wall was three feet high. There was a Qi-shaped wall in the south. There was Yingxun Gate in the south and Yuguan Gate in the east. After Pingding County moved here, it built a city on the side of Yuguan City, which was 38 steps in the six miles and 38 steps in the six miles. The city wall was slightly higher than the old city, with Gongdai Gate in the east and Zhanhua Gate in the west. This formed a city pattern in which the upper and lower cities of Pingding County were opposite each other.

At present, Zhao Neng, a strong capital composed of 150 elite troops drawn from each battalion, has been lurking in the gully two miles away from Yuguanmen since last night, waiting for an order to attack at any time.

The order to attack was not in the hands of Zhang Rui or Zhao Neng, but in the hands of an ordinary soldier, Guo Dashi.

This raid was the first time since the Tianzhu Army formed an army that actively attacked the city, which was of great significance. It was a victory but not a defeat. Therefore, a "assault capital" was temporarily formed, and all the members were from elite battalions, most of whom were trained by the teaching battalions. Then, led by Zhao Neng, Zhang Rui and others who had outstanding military achievements recently. They were elite soldiers and generals, well-equipped, well-planned, and unprepared for attacking the enemy. They strive to seize the city with the fastest speed and the smallest casualties and achieve a good start.

But in this "assault capital", there is an alternative, a newcomer, and a newcomer - Guo Dashi.

Guo Dashi, as a new recruit who was added to the battalion after the Battle of Yinmatan, joined the army in just one month and had just completed the first phase of the recruits' basic training. He was almost kicked out of the army because he was not qualified when he was killing prisoners. Such a pink newcomer with zero experience is not suitable to participate in this opening battle, but because of his special origin, he not only had to participate in it, but also would be a key figure.

Guo Dashi, a native of Zouma Village, Pingding Army, was originally an ordinary woodcutter in the local area. When he was free, he often went to the county town to act as a porter to drive donkeys to carry goods. In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin army attacked and fought for the battle of Pingding in October, and was recruited by the Song army defending the city as a brave man, doing some auxiliary work such as transporting bricks and stones, burning boiling water, and pouring gold (defer) juice. After the city was broken, he was captured by the Jin army. If he had not seen his strong body and was a good slave, he would have been dismembered.

Because Guo Dashi is a local and participated in the bloody battle a year ago, he is quite familiar with the city defense of Pingding City, so he was specially selected to carry out this raid mission.

Now, it is the beginning of the Mao hour, and the sky is getting bright. Guo Dashi is dressed in his old style, wearing a torn straw hat, a short brown cloth jacket, a leggings, and a multi-eared hemp shoes. A shoulder pole made of thick bamboo is horizontally located on his shoulder pole, and two bundles of firewood are worn across the ends of the pole. Looking at the heavy bent appearance of the shoulder pole, it is obvious that it is not light.

Just like that, Guo Dashi appeared in front of Yu's closing door.

Yu closed again! Yu closed again!

Guo Dashi's pace became slower and slower, his eyes were faintly red. The tragic war a year ago seemed to be in his eyes.

That year, it was also the time when the autumn wind suddenly rose. The son-in-law of Jin Taizu Pu Cha Shi Family Nu led more than 3,000 troops from Si Meng'an to attack and pacify. The attack lasted for more than a month, and hundreds of troops were damaged. Later, they met with the Ba Meng'an reinforcements led by Wu Shu from the east of Jingxing. A total of more than 10,000 troops were used, stone cannons, fireballs, bows and arrows were used, and even used cloud ladders, goose cars and other siege tools to launch a fierce attack. After several days, nearly a thousand casualties were killed or killed, they were finally defeated and pacified.

The defender of the Punishing Army, Wude Doctor, Qizhou Tuanjian, and more than a thousand people below Ji Ting, the Hedong Road Division Chief, were killed in battle. The Jin army suffered heavy losses and vented their anger. In the sea of ​​sword light and blood, those ferocious faces seemed to be yesterday. In the city, there were less than a thousand men, women, and young and old. Guo Dashi and his wife were also among them... In front of us, the tall walls of Yuguan City, in addition to the addition of some new pits and sword marks, the scenery was as if they were. He stood under the gate of Yuguan City again, but the wife...

Just as Guo Dashi was sad when he was almost crying, a businessman and a friend passed by him, and a low voice came into his ears: "What are you stunned? Do things!"

Guo Dashi was shocked, came to his senses, and quickly wiped the steps and caught up...)
