Chapter 20 Victory
?Yuwen Wen looked at Shi Wansui who had been recruited in front of him and was a little dazed. He was a little confused by his sudden good luck: Shi Wansui, a powerful general who left his name in history, and Shi Wansui, one of the four famous generals in the early Sui Dynasty, was recruited by him.
He almost cried and sighed to the sky: "God has eyes. I have burned almost 100,000 guan in this battle and finally achieved a good harvest!"
With his historical knowledge in later generations, Yuwen Wen knew Shi Wansui's origin: he was good at riding and shooting, and he liked to read military books. At the age of fifteen, he followed his father to join the army to serve the Great Zhou.
According to the original historical trajectory, Long Live, because of the rebellion of General Erzhu Ji, he was dismissed from office and seized his title and rushed to Dunhuang to be a garrison soldier. First, he looked down on the garrison master who often went alone to rob the Turkic hinterland, and then he went to rob the Turkic tribe alone to make the garrison master recognized and became a good partner.
Then the two good friends often happily went deep into the heart of the Turkic tribes hundreds of miles to rob. Their martial power was so high that no one dared to stop the Turkic tribes that had always gone to the Central Plains to fight the grass valley. Shi Wansui made the name of "Dunhuang garrison soldiers" with the act of constantly robbing the Turkic tribes.
Later, the Sui army counterattacked the Turks by Emperor Wen of Sui, Dou Rongding, as the commander. Shi Wansui went to the military camp to recommend himself to serve the army. The main force of the two armies "chased and played" on the grassland several times, and both sides could not hold on, so they made an agreement: to decide the outcome by one.
Sui army coach Dou Rongding and Turkic Apo Khan were both heartbroken by the casualties of his subordinates, so he agreed to choose a warrior to attack and determine the outcome of this one-on-one battle. Shi Wansui, as a warrior in the Sui army, killed the Turkic warriors in seconds as soon as he came on the court. Apo Khan was shocked by his bravery and dared not fight again, and then the two sides agreed to peace.
In the 20th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, the Turkic Bujia Khan led his troops south to harass the Central Plains and collided with the main force of the Sui army. Bujia Khan found that the commander of the Sui army was the famous robber, "Long Live the Dunhuang garrison Shi", and ran back immediately after being chased by the Sui army and suffered heavy casualties.
There are many glorious deeds, but they are very powerful anyway. The key point is that Shi Wansui was one of the famous generals of all dynasties who were qualified to enjoy the Wu Temple in the Tang and Song dynasties.
Yuwen Wen's wind, which was blowing through the butterfly, slaughtered Shi Wansui, who was supposed to be a garrison in Dunhuang to rob the Turkic tribe, to the estuary of Lianghe Rivers in Jingxiang, and then took advantage of the Dongfeng of the Anzhou army to defeat the imperial army, Yuwen Wen was confused and recruited him under his command.
"I was punished for my crime and was originally going to be exiled to the border of the Western Regions. It happened that the army went south and thought of making meritorious service and atonement for the sake of his sins..." Shi Wansui took the initiative to break the embarrassing situation when he saw Yuwen Wen not speaking for a long time.
Yuwen Wen glanced at Yang Ji and found that this "same kind" was surprised that the great man who was "ditted" by him just now was actually a famous general in history books. Yang Ji, who always looked like a laity, was still stunned now.
He didn't want to say anything 'winning speech' nodded and asked Yang Ji to 'take over' the other party: "General Shi will follow Team Master Yang for the time being."
When Shi Wansui saw the other party calling him General, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm already white, so I'm really embarrassed to call him such a military officer."
"It's okay, a real man can bend and stretch!" Yuwen Wen knew some of Shi Wansui's deeds. It's true that this guy can fight and lead troops to win battles, but he has shortcomings: he is a little greedy for money, has insight on the battlefield, but he is too careless as an official.
Shi Wansui joined the army at the age of fifteen and followed his father to the battlefield to fight with the Zhou army and Qi army. Shi Wansui looked at the battlefield situation and asked the left and right to change the clothes to the people. Changing clothes means running away. At that time, the two armies were fighting at the same time, so others thought it was strange that he said that the Zhou army would be defeated in this battle.
Then the Zhou army was indeed defeated. Shi Wansui and Zuo had changed their clothes early, so they sneaked out of the battlefield to save their lives. From this, it can be seen that his observation ability on the battlefield is strong.
The Sui Dynasty pacified the Chen State and unified the Central Plains. Shi Wansui gradually rose with military achievements. The barbarians in Yunnan rebelled and led their troops to attack him. The barbarians surrendered and took out a large number of treasures to bribe them in order to save their lives. Shi Wansui "accepted" the treasures and let Cuan Hyun stay in the local area instead of escorting them to the capital.
Perhaps it was because the matter was done too roughly and leaked the news. On the way back to the army, Shi Wansui accepted the treasure that Shi smiled and accepted was targeted by King Yang Xiu of Shu. He didn't know what Shi Wansui thought, but threw all the treasures into the river and slapped them all. Yang Xiu didn't say anything but "thinked" about this ungrateful Shi Wansui.
The next year, the man-superman Chuan Hui rebelled. King Yang Xiu of Shu took the opportunity to report to his father that Shi Wansui's bribery, as a result, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian was angry and wanted to kill people. Later, he was persuaded to remove him from his post as a people and was only restored to his official position a year later.
However, Shi Wansui was still unaware of the official battle and finally provoked the powerful Yang Su, the jealous and capable minister. Emperor Wen of Sui just took the lead in a very irritable mood. As a result, Yang Sui was stirred up by a few words from light and piaopiao. The anger in his heart caused Shi Wansui who came to make a frustrated military achievements for his fellow comrades.
Looking at this man who is proficient in combat but cannot understand official fighting, Yu Wen Wen felt that he was a little embarrassed to follow him: "General Shi, his father, the accountant of Anzhou, is at the moment of employment, so why not..."
Before Yuwen Wen finished speaking, Shi Wansui bowed: "The army commander was generous and let go of his next life, and he was willing to work hard for everyone!"
"Master Lang, Master Lang!" Yuwen Shiwu led 300 cavalry to approach and shouted loudly. He completed the task assigned by Yuwen Wen to protect the central army and came back to report, and sought orders to steal the heads.
"How many times have you said you want to be a military position on the battlefield? It's the commander-in-chief!" Yuwen Wen scolded. Seeing that Yuwen Shiwu was anxious to follow the army to chase and kill the defeated Zhengnan Army, he remembered an important thing.
"What about baby, I can only grab the heads after handing them all over. A total of twenty shots are left. If the gun is gone, you will hang the southeast branch yourself!" Yuwen Wen decided to take care of all the cavalry guns. These guys are snatching the heads and snatching the heads and losing a few shots will be a big loss.
Other sulphur bombs and type A bombs are all available at once, but the cavalry guns can be reused. Although the failure rate is astonishingly high, they can be repaired at least.
Seeing the cavalry handed over the cavalry guns as much as possible, Yuwen Wen was relieved. Because he had no money to get an extra gas storage tank, the pneumatic cavalry gun was considered a thing that was silenced after fifteen lead bullets, so he couldn't use it now.
Yuwen Shiwu was very satisfied with the power of the cavalry gun. He heard Yuwen Wen ask how effective he and his subordinates said that there were exaggerated words: What was the splash of people and horses in the past? What was the sharp sound of the gun scared a horse to death, and what was really sensational.
"That is to say, the twenty cavalry in the front row of the enemy cavalry were knocked down by you and tripped the cavalry behind. A small number of cavalry were frightened by the white mist sprayed out of the trailer so that they were spinning in place and then rushing to death by our soldiers?" Yuwen Wen knew his confidant servant's virtue, so he said something to the point.
Seeing Yuwen Shiwu feeling embarrassed, he laughed dryly and asked again: "How many poles are broken?"
"Only one shot is good..."
"Go, don't just slaughter people and get rid of some inexplicable ambush." Yuwen Wen waved weakly and asked the cavalry to kill the enemy, and leaned on the carriage depressedly to think about the problem of the crooked tech tree point.
‘Twenty shots, fifteen lead bullets per shot were broken once, and nineteen shots were broken for me.’ His emotions were very easy to be greatly affected. The failure rate of pneumatic cavalry continuous bead guns, which is as high as 95% in actual combat, is probably far from practical use.
With the hydraulic drilling machine, Lin Youdi and others spent a month to successfully make long gun barrels, so Yuwen Wen asked them to rush to produce twenty rods for cavalry. Now, after actual combat, it seems that large-scale installation is just a dream.
This thing is indeed impossible to use on a large scale in laboratory products. It is mainly because the structure is complex and the problem of air leakage has always existed due to the complexity of the structure and the lack of rubber.
The cost of solving the problem of air leakage in the air tank is astonishing, and all types of A bombs are expensive and have poor construction costs and reliability. Type A bombs are made of lime bombs that blow quicklime powder into fog by air tanks. The principle is similar to that of trailers. These two things are usually stored and are worried about not knowing when they will occur.
There are restrictions on the use of A bombs and fog-making trailers. You must be in the wind direction before you can exert your power. Otherwise, you will be blown by the wind and you will have to finish it. The things he has to worry about in the past six months are quite powerful but have great hidden dangers.
But Yuwen Wen had no other choice. Nowadays, the cavalry is the king. The land of Jingxiang is full of enemies and there is no horse-producing land. It is not something that can be bought by buying a war horse. Therefore, in order to improve combat effectiveness in a short period of time, we can only spend money to buy a "hang".
Now I am lucky and not in transportation. If there is an accident during storage, I will never stand on my side. Therefore, after this battlefield test worth tens of thousands of yuan, Yuwen Wen came to a cruel conclusion: most of the "high-tech" weapons are not suitable for batch investment in actual combat, and it is meaningless to continue to burn money.
Looking at the galloping past his cavalry, he murmured to himself: "Caval...but why is there no horse-generating land..."
Yuwen Wen decided to stop making unstable sulphur bombs, anti-cavalry fighting chariots and pneumatic cavalry guns. The heavy copper coins were used to buy horses to practice cavalry. Tens of thousands of stagnants of money were enough to train nearly a thousand cavalry, which was much more than what "high-tech weapons" could do.
Nowadays, a horse that is only 15 cents or 10,000 jin is not necessarily a war horse. A general war horse is at least 20,000 jin, or more than 20 cents. A top-grade war horse requires hundreds of cents. If a top-grade thousand-mile horse and other divine horses are at least 10,000 jin, it costs thousands of cents. And a bad horse of four or 5,000 jin, cannot be used to make a war horse.
The cost of buying a horse is 20 stakes per horse, which is 20,000 stakes per horse. Considering injuries, combat losses, or cavalry tactics that gallop and attack 300 miles a day and night, it must be matched with a secondary horse, that is, a backup horse. If it doubles one to one, there must be a total of 2,000 stakes per horse, which is 40,000 stakes per horse.
This is just an early investment. Each horse consumes a lot of corn every day, and the cavalry's military pay and food consumption must also be included. If you want to play with a high-end armored cavalry, it will be expensive.
If you can make money, you may not be able to buy war horses with money. The horse prices of the above types of war horses are still priceless for the Anzhou army, which has no horse source. After all, you have to find a way to get a horse if you don’t want to buy a “ban”.
"Tongjun, do we need to pursue?" The military leader Chen Wudi asked for instructions. Seeing that his side had already won the victory, the situation was very good, but Yu Wen Wen of the army was distracted and was a little worried.
Yuwen Wen looked at the battlefield situation and then made a decision: "Let the auxiliary soldier go, at least warm up. Master Xu Zhuang, you have to keep a close eye on it and don't let those guys kill the prisoners."
"The last general will take the order!" Xu Shao excitedly led the auxiliary soldiers under his command with weapons to attack the dog. The auxiliary soldiers fought for two consecutive days and watched the opportunity now that they had the chance to pretend to be powerful.
