Chapter 206: Prepare for the Final Battle

The fighting in Xiangyang City is still tense.

Yang Guo has already sent more troops to Xiangyang, and sent a lot of equipment to defend the city.

Mongolian soldiers are still very brave and good at fighting, especially in open plains, they can play the role of cavalry.

To solve this problem, we can only make a fuss about weapons and terrain.

Yang Guo asked the disciples of the beggar gang to harass the Mongolian army camp, burn food and grass from time to time, or sneak attack the Mongolian soldiers.

The most urgent thing at present is to solve the problem of foreign aggression.

Yang Guo didn't think about the imperial conquest, he wanted to coordinate the overall situation.

And Yang Guo also issued an imperial decree, appointing Guo Jing as the general to protect the country, in charge of all military affairs in Xiangyang City, and also sent a gold medal arrow, which can mobilize troops from anywhere when needed.

This is the great trust in Guo Jing.

In fact, this is also a matter of course, a reasonable thing, they are originally the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law.

After Guo Jing got more power, he was more able to let go of his hands and feet.

First of all, he mobilized the army and the people to consolidate the city wall.

Yang Guo also sent a blueprint of a weapon called Wolf Xian.

Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao New Book" contains: "The heart of the predestined person is timid when facing the enemy. His weapon is weak and his courage is shattered. Although he is very diligent on weekdays, he is often at a loss and forgets his old ways. But first, the branches will flourish, which is more than enough to cover the whole body. , It is reliable in front of the eyes. It is enough to give courage and support, and ordinary people dare to stand still."

This was invented by Qi Jiguang to deal with Japanese pirates.

The wolf first uses big moso bamboo, which is cut at the top and connected with branches on all sides. It is branched and branched. It can be two feet thick and one foot five or six feet long. People use hand gestures to cover their whole body, and they cannot get in by stabbing with knives and guns. Therefore, people are bold and arrogant, and they use it as the front row, which is a sharp weapon for killing Japanese in the south. "

Now that Yang Guo has released this weapon in advance, he will see if it can have a good effect.

Guo Jing got the weapon blueprint and asked people to experiment. After seeing the effect, he was pleasantly surprised.

He set up a wolf first reserve team. It is a strange soldier. The

Song Dynasty lacked war horses, so he spent 500,000 taels to buy war horses himself. Military horses

occupied a very important position in the military equipment of the Song Dynasty, and their expenditures accounted for a large proportion of military expenditures. Cavalry was very important in the war at that time.

Zeng Gongliang, who was quite accomplished in military science in the Northern Song Dynasty, summed up the sixteen advantages of cavalry and spoke highly of the maneuverability of cavalry in war. In

addition to being equipped with cavalry, military horses are also used to transport and transmit order information, etc. You can't leave, so the Song people said: "The military is the first, there is nothing like the horse government", "The horse can't win the emergency by galloping." It also said: "The horse is the foundation of the army. "You can't use troops without horses." "

War horses are so important in war, but the Song Dynasty's ruling area rarely produced them. On the contrary, the Liao, Xia, Jinmeng (Yuan) and other dynasties that confronted the Song Dynasty successively had relatively developed animal husbandry and sufficient sources of war horses. The Song Dynasty had insufficient sources of war horses and often had insufficient equipment. The

huge disparity in the equipment of war horses caused the Song Dynasty to be passive in the war. In order to reverse the passive situation, the Song Dynasty paid a huge amount of money for the breeding and purchase of war horses.

There were very few horses produced in the Song Dynasty, and war horses mainly relied on overseas purchases, so horses were bought Fees are a huge expense.

War horses in the Song Dynasty were mainly purchased from Xifan, including trade in tea and silk. Yu Yunwen of the Southern Song Dynasty said: "When the country (Northern Song Dynasty) was in its prime, Shaanxi bought horses at an annual rate of 40,000 horses." This was about the highest amount of Western horses purchased in the Song Dynasty. At that time, it was around 10,000 horses.

And Yang Guo personally paid 500,000 taels out of his own pocket, and gave the money to the Mingjiao people to buy it, and if he couldn't buy it, he would steal the war horse.

Anyway, war horses are very important and must be obtained.

Yang Guo has a lot of policies to benefit the people to implement, but considering the foreign aggression has not been resolved, these things are put on hold for the time being.

Time has passed and several months have passed.

It has been half a year since we separated from Mochou and the others.

I still miss them.

Yang Guo wanted to bring them with him, but he gave up after considering some practical issues.

And now he is entangled in many things and cannot get out.

Every day he has free time, he will go to the Royal Library to read books, no matter what type of books, now is the time to accumulate, and the effect of epiphany at the next full level of comprehension will be better.

The current "Immortal Golden Body Art" has been cultivated to the fifth level.

This world is more malicious, and the space feels oppressive,

He can feel the exclusion of this world.

Could it be that his strength has reached the limit of this world? The heavens of this world can no longer accommodate him.

Is it time to slow down the speed of cultivation?

But this idea was stifled by him as soon as he got up. Of course, the higher the strength, the better.

One hour of daily practice is already considered short.

Yang Guo also wants to clean up the officialdom, but now is not the time to clean up the officialdom.

He has a lot of things to do, but he can't become a fat man with one bite, and everything will take time to solve.

Today Yang came to inspect the place where the firearms were manufactured.

The Song Dynasty ushered in the era when gunpowder was used in warfare. After hundreds of years of improvement in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, firearms became more and more advanced. In the end, long bamboo muskets and burst muskets for individual soldiers were also developed.

However, even though the Song Dynasty had a great lead in the development and use of firearms, it was still repeatedly defeated in foreign wars. Why? The reasons are as follows:

the muskets of the Song Dynasty did not have the function of modern firearms to fire bullets to kill the enemy, but only relied on the power of gunpowder explosion and combustion to cause damage, the lethality was limited, and the number of equipped troops was also limited, making it difficult to change the situation decisive force.

Yang Guo recalled all the memories of his previous life, and now he came here to help craftsmen improve firearms.

The current steelmaking technology is immature, so the quality of the guns produced is not very good, and the chamber often explodes.

Yang Guo had seen the structure of the gun in his previous life, so he only needed to improve it a little.

This gun is the shotgun used in the Qing Dynasty.

Firearms, also known as shotguns and bird guns at that time, belonged to one of the early firearms. The launch is slower, but compared to the bow and arrow, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has a longer range and greater lethality. When outside the customs, the Qing army began to equip shotguns.

However, the number is limited, and it is only attached to the archer infantry category. After entering the customs, the firearms battalion was formally established, and there were soldiers who specialized in using muskets, called shotgun soldiers, and each shotgun soldier was equipped with a musket.

Although this gun still has many shortcomings, it is better than the current gun.

After the gun was designed, Yang Guo asked them to work hard on the quality.

Then start manufacturing, at least 3,000 pieces will be produced.

To deal with Mongolian cavalry, firearms are the best lethal weapon.

More than ten years later, when the Southern Song Dynasty perished, it was still early, but Yang Guo was already preparing for the decisive battle.

And Yang Guo also selected a group of children aged 80 to 16 from the beggar gang as special forces.

The role of this force is the same as the special operations in the previous life.
