?

On the third day of the battle, there was a tent at the Hexi camp of Anzhou Army, next to the mouth of Lianghe River.

"Booming the sky thunder?" Yuwen Wen chatted with Yang Ji while removing his armor. Two "thousand-year-old demons" were discussing the intention of arrogance after their new army won consecutive victories.

Although the new army has no war at present, daily training still needs to continue. In order to get close to actual combat, soldiers and generals must wear all their bodies. As an example, Yu Wen Wen naturally has to put on his armor.

Yang Ji, who had already taken off his armor, was wearing casual clothes to help Yuwen Wen remove his armor: "That's right, it would be not difficult for a large army to sweep the Jingzhou General Administration Office with thunder all the way."

"That's also a talent. My father was happy to attack Fancheng and the battle the day before yesterday. I had no place to get so much sulfur and saltpeter." After Yu Wen Wen said that, he put his pocket aside and took off his neck and arms with the help of Yang Ji.

After Yang Ji loosened the armor and then took off the Mingguang armor. However, it was the arm guard and finally took off the legs and skirts. After removing the armor after the armor was finally removed.

"This Mingguang Armor is really annoying. It's better to have one set of your sleeve armor." Yuwen Wen complained about the Mingguang Armor he wore. The armor styles that were popular in the late Northern Dynasties were about Liangdang Armor, the sleeve armor and Mingguang Armor, each piece was more expensive than the other, and the protection was getting better and better.

The prototype of the armor of the heavenly soldiers and generals in later myths - Mingguang Armor has become popular at this time. Yuwen Wen usually wears Mingguang Armor, but it is a bit troublesome to wear it, not just like a tube sleeve armor like a modern T-shirt.

"Monday, the style of armor is just as troublesome no matter how you wear it." Yang Ji hung this set of Mingguang armor from head to toe on the shelf.

Yuwen Wen sat on one Hu bed and pointed to another Hu bed and said, "Sit."

Hu Shop is a horse stool. When marching and fighting, the generals and generals were wearing armor, so they sat on Hu Shop and talked, and this was the main thing that Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji liked when chatting in private. As a "later" they were still used to sitting on chairs.

Yang Ji sat on Hu's bed and talked to Yuwen Wen. In this era, he was still kneeling and sitting on high-footed furniture in public and letting his legs sag. This posture is considered uneducated or disrespectful to others.

"Sulphur, saltpeter is really hard to deal with, and it has to be saved slowly." Yu Wenwen complained about the armor and got back to the topic. At present, there is not a shortage of sulfur production in the territory of An, Xiang and Huang Sanzhou General Administration, but the output is pitifully small, and there is not much saltpeter. If you want to use a certain medicine on a large scale, you have to rely on stockpiling goods and not to use it now.

Yuwen Wen is about to take office as the governor of Jade Prefecture in Huangzhou General Administration, and his subordinates know that he is aware of it, so everyone is looking forward to "setting up" in Xiyang City, Bazhou Prefecture.

Bazhou is very convenient on the north bank of the Yangtze River, so it is very easy to do some banned things. As long as you give enough money, those merchants who come and go from north to south are nothing that cannot get. Of course, the number is different.

"Remember the loud noise outside Anlu City in early April. I asked the blacksmith of the Military Arts Supervision to spend four months building a cannon similar to the Folang machine, which exploded during the test firing. This was a low-load test firing, so the casting problem of the cannon body may not be solved in the short term." Yuwen Wen saw that Yang Ji wanted to speak, and he had guessed what the other party wanted to say and interrupted first.

He then added: "When you arrive in Bazhou, you can organize craftsmen to slowly practice casting technology, but you don't have to think about what you want to invest in actual combat. The consequences are unpredictable."

The power of artillery is huge. If the Anzhou army is equipped with a large amount of equipment, then the forces of all parties will sooner or later make it out, which will eventually spread the technology: if artillery is caused by serious consequences for the Turkic Khans on the grassland.

The nomadic army has many horses to move, and the border defenders have to resist, and they can only stand by the city and wait for reinforcements. If the other party has artillery, a powerful weapon for siege, then there will be no peace in the Central Plains.

The Jianzhou Jurchens in the late Ming Dynasty only reincarnated Liaodong before they mastered firearms. After they mastered a large number of craftsmen to build artillery for siege, they were no longer able to stop them. Now if the Turks, who were in full swing, got the artillery, they might have entered the Central Plains.

Yang Ji didn't care much about whether artillery cannons could be practical. In history, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty did not unify the Central Plains as well. With artillery, the Ming Dynasty lost to the Jianzhou Jurchens and the peasant army, so the blacksmith had to be strong himself.

"In the future, the other party may also use the Sky Thunder to deal with our army, and we have to prepare early." He was worried that with the use of Sky Thunder to the sky Thunder, all forces would sooner or later know the secret of this martial arts.

Yuwen Wen nodded when he heard this. Regarding the use of a certain medicine, he decided to first enter the battlefield in the form of a thunderclap at the beginning of the year. In history, the military application of a certain medicine began to be used for arson in the late Tang Dynasty until the Yuan Dynasty lasted more than 300 years before artillery was evolved. Therefore, others could not transform the thunderclap into an artillery.

He planned to use the thunder to help the Anzhou army defeat the imperial army so that he could occupy a certain territory in a short period of time. With a stable territory and sufficient population, he could farm organically.

As the saying goes, it is rare to see soldiers of this era making loud noises and flames that can hurt people. Therefore, the power of the sky thunder can shock the other party. After a year or two, the opponent is used to it, and the size of their own military strength can be completely openly hedged against thousands of troops, so the most precious thing now is time.

There were many cavalrymen in the Northern Dynasties, and there were not enough cavalry to go with the army, so sooner or later it would be over. The enemy's only sending cavalry to harass or even cutting off their own food routes was the most troublesome thing. This is the reason why the failures of several northern expeditions in the Southern Dynasties were mostly caused by this.

Duke Yang Jian of Sui State controlled the young emperor and controlled the government as the primary enemy, but the Duke of Shu State, Yuchi Jiong, who set up another emperor to compete with each other, may not be easy to meet. He is now loyal to the Great Zhou, but people will change.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's initial ambition was only to be the general of the Western Expedition of the Han Dynasty. If Yuchi Jiong killed Yang Jian and took over the power, who would know if he would "cut down the vassals" by the famous generals Yuwen Liang, Yuwen Ming, Yuwen Wen and his son. At that time, even if the three Yuwen Liang and his son were saved, they would be caged in Chang'an and the lamb to be slaughtered.

Even if Yuchi Jiong wants to be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and does not usurp the throne, who knows that his son, nephew, and grandson have no such idea. Even if Yuwen Wen is the son-in-law of the Yuchi family, he does not want to place his family's life in the thoughts of others.

At least, the father and son must have a military force that can only fight and a stable territory before someone can listen. According to the current situation, if these are gone, it is a delusion to be a rich man!

"By the way, you said before that some bad signs appeared in the army. What exactly is it referring to?" Yuwen Wen shifted the topic to the new army. Today, Yang Ji reported to him privately that the new army had some bad signs.

Yang Ji's words are concise and concise: "Arrogant soldiers."

"Auto Soldier?" Yuwen Wen was stunned for a moment and then snorted: "What qualifications do they have to be auto Soldier?"

Yang Ji explained in detail what he knew: the spearmen felt that they were not afraid of anyone with their spears. Even some armored cavalry rushed into the formation would have a dead end. The sword hand felt that the soldiers could solve the problem of the veterans who had been bloody on the battlefield in just a few or two swords. The archers felt that the archers had practiced for four months were enough to show their power on the battlefield.

There are also cavalrymen who think that the enemy's archers are so skillful. After winning two consecutive tough battles, the new soldiers, whether they are archers, swordsmen, spearmen, and cavalry, all their tails are raised up. They think that the veterans of hundreds of battles are "not just ".

Yang Ji felt that this mentality was very dangerous. The main reason why the new army could perform well was to form formations to defend the enemy rather than to be brave or outstanding in personal martial arts. But if you meet a strong soldier who can fight and break into the formation in one fell swoop, everything would be over.

He and Yuwen Wen are very concerned about the new army and do not think that this army that has consumed a lot of his efforts is "a arrogant soldier will be defeated."

"But Er? This man spent nearly 100,000 yuan in these two battles alone. If he was used to train cavalry, it would not be less than a thousand cavalry." Yuwen Wen sneered, pressing his finger joints, "If it weren't for the war horses, who would have to mess with these turbulent oil bombs and A bombs."

"That's true. Although the equipment used by the county government is powerful, it is very costly, and it is not a long-term solution. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. In the opinion of the generals, they still have to pour cold water on the soldiers."

"Of course it can't last long. These things are too expensive and don't have that much money to burn." Yuwen Wen thought of his father's big hand and big foot squandering Botian Lei, and his heart was bleeding. "Those guys don't know what life or death, what are you good ways to tell me."

Yang Ji didn't go round and round and said his thoughts directly: "Monday, didn't you accept some prisoners yesterday? I think it's just right to use it."

The Anzhou army dealt with the prisoners yesterday and headed north to the camp today. Yuwen Wen, who was "in this stage of career growth", was arranged by his father and his new army as a "jailer" to stay at the mouth of Lianghekou and continue to guard the remaining prisoners.

As a general who made great contributions in this battle, Yuwen Wen had priority but did not steal thousands of prisoners to fill the troops. In addition to stealing more than 400 war horses, he only asked Shi Wansui to go to the prisoner camp to pick up some of his old subordinates at that time.

In the end, the thousands of prisoners who remained were not only the laborers who built the floating bridge, but also a group of "scrap" from about a hundred people. A group of "scrap" that was picked and left was difficult to use and could not be killed.

They were soldiers but could not replenish the number of subordinates under the various departments, not because they were worried that the court would not be willing to join the crowd, nor were they extremely vicious people, but were difficult to arrange.

They were not natives in Jingzhou. They either gathered in the mountains and forests for bandits or fled to the marshal Liang Shiyan to fight with beasts. They had some skills in fighting on the battlefield, so it was a pity to kill them. If they received the troops, the generals would have no objection, but they would have a headache if they used them.

The reason for the public: If you are a big-minded soldier, you are not easy to control. If you become a team leader, the soldiers will not be convinced. If you fight with the wind, it would be fine. If there is a tough battle, it would be a strife.

The actual reason: The generals of Anzhou learned that these people were thorns through surrender, and they often complained and even publicly confronted their superiors for their daily deduction of military pay, food, and unfair rewards and punishments.

Generals from all over the country are doing things like drinking blood, so no one wants to make themselves uncomfortable. It would be great if the soldiers are suffering honestly if they recruit these whine into their own teams, if they cause mutiny, they will be overwhelmed. So this is their real idea of ​​not wanting to absorb the "scrap".

If you can fight, but it is hard to worry about it, it is really that "the fish and bear's paws cannot have both." After thinking about it, the generals of various troops pinched their noses and recruited a group of people to replenish their forces. The remaining "scratch in the scum" was waiting to be a coolie until they died.

This group of people who were regarded as useless by other generals were taken into his army by Yuwen Wen as treasures. The reason is very simple: I am responsible for the full amount of military pay, and the rewards and punishments are fair. Can you fight? That's great!

The soldiers were quite dissatisfied with these newly joined "defeated generals" and felt that they could defeat differently by the Anzhou army, so they were quite contemptuous of their words.

Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji muttered for a while and had a conspiracy: Let the new soldiers know how rubbish it is to fight alone with their martial arts skills. They always think that veterans in a hundred battles are easy to deal with.

In order to select the most "powerful" people from the newly joined prisoners to achieve the effect of being a blowjob, Yuwen Wen asked Shi Wansui, who was also a new joiner, to come to the staff.

"Martial competition?" After hearing Yuwen Wen's thoughts, Shi Wansui was a little confused and worried that the Martial competition would seriously damage the morale of the new army soldiers, because he knew that the more than 100 scum and the skills of his old subordinates were not weak.

"If the soldiers under the command of the county government lose," Shi Wansui believed that his old comrade might not lose if he was just a more personal martial arts skill, so he was worried that if the scene was too ugly, Yuwen Wen's face was lost.

"Lost? The more you lose, the better!" Yuwen Wen was waiting for the other party's words, "It is better to lose as you pants in the competition than to lose on the battlefield!"
