Chapter 125 The Artillery Shows Off
Chapter 125 Artillery Shows Power
Wang Zhongsi was young and knew the things in the army. Fei Jun was full of sarcasm in his jargon. He knew that what they originally thought was that the soldiers in front knew that they were coming with cannons, and they must be excited. Mo Ming was welcomed warmly and could not achieve it.
Fei Junxing was just one who couldn't help but jump out. Look at the generals, you know that they also didn't take Chen Wanrong and his party seriously at all. In the army, if he is strong, you have to be arrogant, if he is arrogant, you have to be even more arrogant, you have to suppress him, otherwise you won't take you seriously at all.
Only by suppressing him will he be convinced. It was from this point that Wang Zhongsi took the opportunity to slap Fei Junxing loudly.
A boy was riding a war horse, wearing a armor, a knife, and posing as if he was on the battlefield. This was too horrible. All the generals were thinking, "This must be the son of Chen Jianjun, otherwise which boy from any family would be like this." It was not until Wang Zhongsi reported his name that they knew that the information was wrong and that they knew it would be bad.
Chen Wanrong's originally serious face suddenly became cold and he stared at Guo Qianguan coldly: "General Guo, I have heard for a long time that you are a famous general of a generation and have good military management. Why is your subordinates so rude? Although Wang Zhongsi is young, I wish I could say something that you don't like to hear. If Wang Zhongsi and you change positions, I want to do nothing worse than you!"
Guo Qianguan is a veteran and a good general in the Tang Dynasty. I don’t know how many wars he has fought in his life. If he wants to say that he is not as good as a boy, who would believe it? He became angry and his face, which had originally smiled layer by layer, suddenly became cold. Before he could speak, the generals spoke up for him: "Judge Chen, you can insult us, but you can’t look down on the general!"
Ge Shuhan took the conversation: "I tell you, Jianjun Chen is so kind. In the words of my brother Shuhan, you, even ten Guo Qianguans, can't beat Wang Zhongsi!"
"Bold! Who are you? You dare to talk nonsense here!" Guo Qianguan's face turned red and could no longer help him: "Jin Chen, is this the person you brought? Do you have some military discipline?"
Chen Wanrong raised his head and said coldly: "General Guo, everyone I brought by law. Unlike General Guo, everyone who thinks he is too arrogant, wouldn't he just kill some people on the battlefield and be more jealous and not take the heroes of the world seriously. Even the orphans of your General Guo's subordinates must ridicule. Don't you know that General Guo's military discipline is there?"
Wang Haibin's character and courage are very admirable. His orphan Guo Qianguan should be cared for, but Fei Junxing ridiculed Wang Zhongsi in public, which was unreasonable in terms of emotion and reason. Guo Qianguan had a blue face and defended: "Chen Jianjun, isn't this a misunderstanding? It's a misunderstanding!"
Chen Wanrong stepped forward: "General Guo, is this really a misunderstanding? I don't think it is you who indulged it!"
Guo Qianguan thought that the order was extremely strict and the three armies were purged. This was too harsh and his tone was raised a lot: "Judge Chen, don't pick on the bones in the eggs, you can find trouble if you have nothing to do."
"Did I wrong you?" Chen Wanrong was still cold and pointed his right hand around: "General Guo, look at what your army is like? Look, the piles are basking in the sun, the piles are chatting, and the piles are gathered together and fighting red, probably gambling. Am I wrong?"
It’s all true, and nothing can deny that what happened under your nose. Guo Qianguan was speechless for a moment: “Judge Chen, aren’t you brothers doing nothing to do, so you can pass the time?”
"Did you use harm to the people to pass the time? As I walked along, I heard the complaints of the people from time to time, saying that since your army gathered here, there have been many cases of teasing the people's women and stealing the people's property. Did I hear it wrong, or were the people talking nonsense?" Chen Wanrong looked like a sword and stared at Guo Qianguan.
Guo Qianguan didn't take this matter seriously, and said calmly: "Chen Jianjun, you don't know that this has always been the case in the army. Which army has never done these things? Who is the one who commands the army, who doesn't turn a blind eye to us? "
During the Jingyun period, the military discipline was quite scattered, and teasing the people and stealing property was considered light. What was more serious was that killing the people was pretending to be military merits.
"Wang Zhongsi, tell him what you should do if it was you." Chen Wanrong ordered and retreated aside.
Wang Zhongsi came over and came to Guo Qianguan. He did not speak immediately. Instead, he turned his big eyes and looked Guo Qianguan for a while, shook his head and sighed: "General Guo, you have been in vain for decades, but missed a great opportunity. What a pity!"
Guo Qianguan couldn't help but ridicule a boy in public, and couldn't help but feel angry. He pressed his right hand unnaturally on the hilt of the knife, hoping to kill Wang Zhongsi.
Wang Zhongsi seemed not to see the anger that ejaculated in his eyes, and then said: "Now the court lacks good generals and the military discipline is scattered, and many troops kill and kill the people as military merits. In such a subtle situation, veterans like General Guo are a good opportunity to become pillars of the court. You only need to restrain the three armies and win a few battles. Is it impossible for you to be the Duke and Majesty to be the Duke and Majesty?
"But what about you? What is the difference between you and those generals who only know how to surrender and only kill the common people? You have a unique opportunity, but you missed it. I'm sorry for you! You General Guo is familiar with the history of war in history. Is there any famous general like you? Wu Qi was a general and ordered to be purged, and the three armies were afraid. His army did not dare to disturb the people. Wei Wushang swept the world for decades. Is it a blessing? Don't you often lament the strength of Wei Wushang? You only know the strength of Wei Wushang, but you don't know why Wei Wushang is so powerful, but you just have a shape!"
Guo Qianguan sneered: "The boy's ignorant words!"
Wang Zhongsi finally said: "I'll tell you why Wei Wuzhang is so powerful. First, the orders are extremely strict. No one dares to disobey Wuzhang's orders. Second, it is well-equipped. When the Six Warring States Periods were still using bronze weapons, Wuzhang equipped Wei Wuzhang with iron armor. Third, it is well-trained and has novel tactics. Fourth, the soldiers are braver. As long as Wuzhang gives orders, they will be very eager to fight. Look at your army, how much fighting spirit do they have?"
Guo Qianguan was too familiar with Wei Wuzhe. These four reasons were powerful. It was amazing that a boy knew so much. Guo Qianguan wanted to sneer, but Wang Zhongsi said it very reasonably and he could not refute it. If he agreed, he would be unable to accept it in his heart and could not help but be stunned.
What Guo Qianguan most unexpected was that Wang Zhongsi knew his preferences and was very clear about him. If Chen Wanrong knew him well, he would not be surprised at all. It was normal for the military supervisor to understand the general. But it was a boy who knew him so well. Guo Qianguan was surprised and thought, "This child is extraordinary."
"Young Master Xie Wang reminds you, Guo Qianguan thanked me here!" Guo Qianguan bowed honestly.
He actually apologized to Wang Zhongsi, which was so horrifying that the generals were all surprised. Fei Junxing strode over and said, "Master, the last general is responsible for the trouble. Chen Jianjun, Fei Junxing takes the crime!"
Although this person was a little reckless, he was still a manly person and had courage. Chen Wanrong secretly praised him, but his face was still cold: "There are rules in the army, and I think General Guo should know how to do it."
Guo Qianguan raised his eyebrows: "Judge Chen is not forgiven, so Guo Qianguan will enforce military law."
Before Chen Wanrong could speak, Wang Zhongsi spoke: "It's not that the military officer Chen did not forgive him, but that he should be punished if he violated the military law. General Guo must clearly reward and punish the general. Even if your enemy is rewarded, you should be rewarded if you make a contribution; even if your relatives make a mistake, you should be punished if you make a mistake. In our artillery, no matter who he is, no matter whether he repents or not, if you are wrong, you should be punished if you have to be punished, and no one can be an exception!"
If you want to say that the one who enforces the military law the most strictly, Wang Zhongsi must be. Even Geshuhan sighs that he is inferior to others, far inferior to others. He is extremely talented and strictly enforces military law. Who dares to make mistakes for a thousand artillery soldiers?
"General Guo, your knowledge is not as good as Wang Zhongsi, it's a pity!" Ge Shuhan was a little disdainful.
Guo Qianguan originally wanted to say this as Chen Wanrong was not tolerant of others, but he didn't want to give Wang Zhongsi some righteous words, but he was not. Without any refutation, Guo Qianguan had to thank him again.
"Come on!" Guo Qianguan shouted: "Drag Fei Junxing down and beat thirty military sticks. Chen Jianjun, please watch the punishment."
Chen Wanrong shook his head: "General Guo, I still have something to do, so I won't go. General Guo, where is our camp?"
Guo Qianguan pointed his right hand forward: "Judge Chen, the artillery brothers, please live in that valley. It is peaceful and suitable for the brothers to train."
When Chen Wanrong saw that it was a valley behind the military camp, he placed the artillery in this place that was not valued, and clearly did not use artillery. Guo Qianguan didn't know how powerful the artillery was. He waited for the order to start a war, not artillery. As long as the order to start a war, he would start a fire. As for what the artillery was and what its use was, he didn't know at all, and he didn't have the mood to care about it. It would be better to put Chen Wanrong and the others in the place that was least valued, and he would be clean.
"General Guo, it's too far away, so it's not convenient to dispatch artillery. This battle requires our artillery to take the lead. It's convenient here and is close to Shibao City." Chen Wanrong pointed to the flat ground in front.
Before Guo Qianguan could speak, Cheng Xiaotian couldn't help but sneer: "Chen Jianjun, what kind of magic weapon is artillery? You have to take the lead?"
Many generals had disdainful expressions on their faces.
At this moment, Chen Wanrong had to praise Ruizong's foresight and let him become the military supervisor. If Chen Wanrong did not become a military supervisor and was just an artillery general, Guo Qianguan would throw them aside and would not necessarily think of them in a year.
We must establish our authority, otherwise they would not take artillery seriously at all! Chen Wanrong was determined and asked calmly: "General Cheng, where is your camp?"
Cheng Xiaotian didn't understand Chen Wanrong's intention, so he replied: "Just there, a little bit ahead."
Chen Wanrong looked at it and leaned against the flat ground chosen by Chen Wanrong. The place where his camp could be placed here means that he is Guo Qianguan's beloved general. The more he loves the general, the better he is. He will attack you. Chen Wanrong said lightly: "I will know if artillery is a magic weapon? If General Cheng is interested, he will come and see it."
Cheng Xiaotian did not speak immediately, but looked at Guo Qianguan. Guo Qianguan nodded slightly, and Cheng Xiaotian immediately said, "I would like to ask the military officer Chen for advice. The artillery is amazing, it will definitely open our eyes. Do you think, right?"
"Yes!" Two words with full ridicule come from the mouths of the generals.
Chen Wanrong nodded at Ge Shuhan. Ge Shuhan looked at him briefly: "General Cheng, I see that your camp is just right to test the cannons. Once we fire the cannons, there will be casualties. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, remove all your people."
"Fire artillery, what is firing artillery? I thought I wanted to pull out the artillery and practice alone with us. I heard that the artillery was selected by the Longwu Army, so it would be really satisfying to fight with them." Cheng Xiaotian's face turned red when he thought of fighting with the artillery alone.
Geshuhan seemed to have not heard of his provocation: "Fire the gun, we set up the guns and bombard your camp. Although your camp is strong, it will turn into ruins at a cup of tea."
Cheng Xiaotian laughed: "I, Cheng Xiaotian, have never seen such a bragging person! I can destroy my camp by catching cannons. It's nonsense! Do you think my camp is made of paper? Even if thousands of troops come, they can resist it! This is my grandfather's way to camp!"
Cheng Xiaotian was born in a famous family, and his grandfather was Cheng Wuting, a general of the Tang Dynasty. Cheng Wuting was good at fighting. When he was in the north, the Turks did not dare to disturb the Tang Dynasty border. After he killed Wu Zetian, the Turks seemed to be as happy as a festival and held a banquet to celebrate. What was most unexpected was that the Turks admired Cheng Wuting very much and built a temple for him. Whenever the Turks were about to go to the expedition, they would go to his temple to worship.
Although Cheng Xiaotian is not as good as Cheng Wuting in the battle formation, he has learned a lot of Cheng Wuting's ability, and he is full of confidence in saying this.
Geshuhan and Wang Zhongsi were very familiar with the origin of the generals under Guo Qianguan and told Chen Wanrong that they knew one by one. Although Cheng Wuting had been killed for many years, his prestige in the northern army was still very high. If Cheng Wuting could not resist the camping method, then they would be completely convinced. Chen Wanrong chose Cheng Xiaotian's camp.
"I am well-known for General Cheng's reputation. I also want to see whether it is the artillery powerful or the strong camp of his old man." Chen Wanrong first made a polite speech, and then he changed his tone: "How about this, General Cheng, please transfer all your people out and you will be in the camp."
Cheng Xiaotian thought for a while, nodded happily and said, "Then I will be covered by the artillery." He curled his lips, very disdainful.
Chen Wanrong didn't see it, thinking that there were too many people in the camp, and it would be difficult to control the artillery and not hurt people. If you are alone in it, you can do it without blowing it to death.
With the order of Cheng Xiaotian, all the soldiers in the camp left the camp, loose and flew together, gathering in groups of three or five, chatting.
Seeing this, Chen Wanrong couldn't help but frown, looked at Ge Shuhan and shook his head. Wang Zhongsi raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.
"Junior Chen, the last general is gone!" Cheng Xiaotian said hello and strides away, as if he was about to jump onto the roof and crow the rooster.
Geshuhan waved his hand, and the artillery pushed the cannon over, removed the oil cloth, and exposed it.
"Is this the artillery? Why is this like this?"
"What about copper lumps! Is it useful?"
It attracted a lot of discussion among the generals. Guo Qianguan couldn't help but shake his head, thinking, "Isn't it just made of copper? Using copper as weapons has long been history. In the Warring States Period, Wei Wuzhang of Wuqi opened a new chapter in the use of iron weapons. The court actually believed this guy's nonsense and used copper as weapons. It's really confusing!"
Cheng Xiaotian came to the gate of the camp, stood straight, showing good military qualities, waved his right hand at Chen Wanrong, and said with a sharp voice: "Chen Jianjun, I'm fine!"
Geshuhan shouted: "The left team target: twenty feet on the left side of the camp gate. The right team target: twenty feet on the right side of the camp gate!"
This is to prevent Cheng Xiaotian from hurting. This is to establish his authority and not hurt others.
Wang Shaohua held up the flag and shouted: "Prepare!"
The artillerymen were ready and the gunners were in place.
"Let me!" Wang Shaohua waved the flag in his hand.
The generals opened their eyes wide and prepared to watch the show. What surprised them was that at the command of Wang Shaohua, dozens of fireballs with long tail flames appeared in the air and flew straight towards the camp gate.
The shells slashed through the sky, and they were full of wonder in the eyes of the generals. Guo Qianguan, who was originally very disdainful, couldn't help but frown, and his eyes widened.
"It looks good, it looks good, it looks really good!" Cheng Xiaotian saw it in his eyes and curled his lips: "It's okay to be fooled if you are not useful!"
As soon as the words fell, the shells fell down, and fireballs flashed one by one, and the rumbling explosion sounded like a thunder roaring in his ears, which made his ear drums buzz.
Although he was so brave, he was shocked and shouted "Oh my God". What surprised him the most was that the camp, which he was very proud, was actually vulnerable, and there were gaps after gaps in the bombings.
Cheng Wuting used this camp to make the Turks suffer a lot. The Turks had no choice but to stay in the grassland honestly until Cheng Wuting killed Wu Zetian, and the Turks re-instrumented the northern border.
Although Cheng Wuting died, his legacy was still there. The northern border troops were engaging in the solid camp he created with the Turks. If there were no such camp, I would not know how many Tang troops would die.
Even this was the indestructible camp in the eyes of the Tang army, and it was impossible to withstand it. Not to mention that Cheng Xiaotian was so surprised that he almost fainted. Even Guo Qianguan and the generals were so surprised that they widened their eyes and exclaimed in unison: "Oh my God! What kind of weapon is this, so powerful."
Just as they screamed, the second round of gunfire was fired out, and the camp was blown up a lot.
Guo Qianguan hurriedly said, "Judge Chen, stop, don't fight anymore, you can't fight anymore. If you fight again, the camp will be over."
Chen Wanrong was determined to establish his authority, so he would not listen to him. He nodded to Geshuhan. Geshuhan understood it, waved his hand and shouted, "Battle! Raise it to the ground!"
When the artillery went on war, Li Longji rewarded the Emperor of Tang Taizong on behalf of Emperor Taizong of Tang, which made the artillery proud. He came to help with the war with enthusiasm, but unexpectedly looked down on Guo Qianguan and the others, and was very angry.
I agreed with Chen Wanrong's decision from the bottom of my heart, shouted and started firing again.
Rounds of shells flew over, which made Cheng Xiaotian unable to stand. Finally, he slapped on the ground, covered his ears with his hands, and hurriedly escaped.
Chapter completed!
