Dou Jiande said that several generals have said, "Our army is five times as big as the Youzhou army, even though there are flying daggers and fear."
Zhang Xuansu should stop talking, and I should do my duty of exhortation, so I can decide whether to listen or not.
At this time, Fu Bao, the king of the river bank, led Xia Jun to counter the knife and shield soldiers, and the lancers came second, while the archers arranged in a conical formation, and more and more people crossed the river and Xia Jun joined the circle.
Wang Fubao held an iron gun and was unstoppable before the assault. The front man was a triad general, and around him were twenty or thirty Xia Jun veterans. These veterans were wearing heavy armor, and all of them were brave and desperate, and Wang Fubao looked after each other.
In those days, Wang Fubao led hundreds of elite surprise attacks in Xia Jun, and Xue Shixiong’s left Royal Guards succeeded in breaking 30,000 elite government troops.
Wang Fubao is brave, but the Youzhou army is also desperate to resist the life of the soldiers on both sides. The bowstring collapses, the arrows are broken and intertwined, and the short blades of the steel knives stab each other. The soldiers try their best to wring the alive soldiers into a pile of heroic flesh and blood like a huge meat grinder.
The foot of the corpse was stacked layer after layer, and the soldiers of the two armies still marched on the mud. Later, they marched on the stump and minced meat, and they couldn’t tell the difference. This pile of meat was the enemy and the soldiers of the comrades-in-arms. From the bottom of their hearts, it was the first to stabilize, otherwise an unstable plate would bite the opponent and they would become a part of this bloody sea.
Fighting to the present king Fu Baoyong is hard to go further after 20 steps. He waved a pike and secretly lost his heart. This deep and remote state army is not only tenacious and well-trained, but also has a very tacit understanding with each other, far better than dealing with imperial officers and soldiers by himself. Xue Shixiong had practiced government soldiers and was not so strong.
Not only Wang Fubao was stunned when he was in battle, but also the soldiers watching Xia Jun by the river. How long has it been since he fought such a hard battle? In recent years, Xia Jun has been defeated by the south and the north, and even Xue Shixiong has been defeated by them. The army will be arrogant and look down on his opponent.
But now Xia Jun is also surprised by the bravery and good fighting of the Youzhou Army. Wang Fubao’s first soldier, Xia Jun, is a first-class and elite soldier in Xia Jun, but it’s just that the enemy is evenly matched. However, the well-trained and tacit tactics of the Youzhou Army are deeply impressed on their minds.
Dou Jiande is also silent aside LingJing see Dou Jiande face dignified color said, "Yan Zhao more generous elegiac poet this is a legacy of yan dan soldiers comparable to the sharp death of Tianxiong and Li Chongjiu government soldiers training is more different from the imperial government soldiers, if there is no war at ordinary times or farming in spring, summer and autumn, winter review training training practice is less than one hundred days at most, and I heard that the military soldiers in Youzhou are usually idle production and practice for 300 days every year, so they are so elite."
Listening to Ling Jingyan, Liu Heita and other generals were shocked and asked, "Where are there so many teeth soldiers raised by Li Chongjiu?"
It is only possible that the general of Xia Jun will be full-time and the standing army will have Qinbing Tooth Soldiers around the general. There are only a few hundred such generals as Liu Heita’s retinue Tooth Soldiers.
Ling Jing said, "Li Chongjiu has two rich counties in Youzhou and Taiyuan, and two towns in Huaihuang and Yuyi have borrowed money and food from the people to raise soldiers. Even so, the whole Youzhou government soldiers are just over 30 thousand people."
Dou Jiande took a look at Lingjing and said, "But I have a Wang Fubao in Xia Jun with 100,000 troops."
With the progress of the war, Wang Fubao, the only one in Dou Jiande’s 100,000-strong army, also fell into a bitter battle. The shield array of Youzhou Army greatly offset his personal bravery and made him fall into a tired battle.
Wang Fubao is also a person who has the strength to do his best. Now his breathing is getting worse. When he stepped back and let the lieutenant take a breath, Wang Fubao was exhausted and Xia Jun’s impact momentum stopped temporarily.
The coach Li Chongjiu saw this scene and said, "Xia Jun’s offensive is exhausted, but there are 3,000 people crossing the river. If we persist, I am afraid that the former army can’t resist."
Aside from Yoshikawa, he said, "Although there is a plan to lure Xia Jun to add more soldiers, I don’t think General Wang can fight any more, otherwise our army will not reach the Xia Jun pontoon bridge if we retreat back."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "huotang legally blew the command immediately, and Zhou Zuo shot them with stone grease bombs."
Two hundred and fifty paces from the river, Zhou Zuo and Li Jiang are leading hundreds of foot soldiers in front of the gun.
Zhou Zuozheng, a newcomer to several artisans’ workshops, prefaced, "When I attacked Taiyuan County, I broke the tower with this big guy! Don’t panic. It’s just that when the smell of blood is a little heavy, you will get a big reward when you are in the tinker on weekdays. "
Several new craftsmen nodded in succession, but their faces were still pale and bloody, which was the general performance of the first-time battlefield people.
Zhou Zuo hummed a word with a battle-hardened look, "Don’t embarrass me."
A craftsman said, "I really want to shoot a stone grease bomb in a while. This was developed by our craftsman only two months ago. Because it was too precious, I bought 50 kilograms of stone grease from the merchants in the western regions. I was afraid that something would go wrong when I tried to shoot three rounds in the past two months because you said it was too expensive."
"I’ll kill you if anything goes wrong," Zhou Zuo roared. "It’s not like you haven’t seen this fight in the tinker, but you’ve burned a large area of land. I don’t blame you if you shoot near and burn our foot soldiers out of order. It’s not enough for you and me to ask for a hundred times."
The young craftsman was nearly stunned by Zhou Zuo’s threats.
Li Jiang is a good old man. He said, "Don’t worry, just follow the original instructions step by step."
Having said that, Li Jiang also complained that "this thing is so dangerous. At the beginning, Gu Gong wanted us to master the craftsmanship in a few months, so it is good to sharpen our guns in case we hurt ourselves."
Zhou Zuo’s eyes narrowed and he said, "What do you know about Gu Gong and you stupid donkey? Who would have guessed that this stone grease oil lamp is too smelly to burn on weekdays, but this weapon is so powerful? What is the risk compared with waiting for the seer?"
For the power of the stone grease bomb, everyone is clear and nodded.
This stone grease smells strange when it burns. It is not used to light a lamp on weekdays, nor is it used to cook on weekdays. People in the western regions don’t abandon it, but it is not easy to afford it. But one day, when Li Chongjiu saw it in Youzhou City, he said that this crude oil made Zhou Zuo buy and refine it into oil bombs.
Zhou Zuo was skeptical, but Li Chongjiu said that it was used by western governors and countries to fight and burn ships. After three months, it was finally developed successfully. Today, it is ready to cooperate with the launch of ultra-long-range guns.
"Gu Gonggong ordered to shoot stone grease bombs!"
"promise!" Zhou Zuo promised to shout, "Cheer up and give me all the grease bombs without a test gun."
As Zhou Zuoyi roars, hundreds of village soldiers are doing it.
The cannon at the top of the door stripped off its coat to reveal its ferocious face.
Watching the war in the distance, Dou Jiande couldn’t help but ask Song Zheng, Zhang Xuansu Ling Jing, "Three Aiqing are well informed. What are these things?"
Zhang Xuansu looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Report back that this is a trebuchet, but you can’t see it at a glance because the army in Youzhou is so big."
Song Zheng sneered, "Youzhou Army’s trebuchet is obviously going to riprap and break our pontoon bridge, but it’s a pity that the river is so wide. With a few trebuchets, even if it hits, it can be repaired without blowing off dust."
Ling Jing also said, "Yes, if the other party took it out when our army crossed the river just now, but what is done is done, our army has 3 thousand soldiers crossing the river and then take it again."
Dou Jiande nodded, but his heart felt a strong uneasiness, and so did Zhang Xuansu. He knew that the means of the deep and remote state army could never be aimed at this gun, and there would be something unexpected.
Ps Happy New Year! Now, I wish you a Happy New Year with both hands!

Chapter four hundred and twenty Xiao on fire
The cannon at the door is like a beast crouching in the camp of Youzhou Army, eyeing up the six pontoons of Xiao.
Several craftsmen adjusted the gun position calibration target back and forth until everything was ready before Zhou Zuo reported a word.
"Loading stone grease bombs" followed Zhou Zuoyi’s calling.
One side of the foot soldiers carefully put the dark stone grease bomb into the stone nest. Although this stone grease bomb is sealed with stone grease, everyone is still careful not to accidentally fall and explode when carrying it.
The guns at the top of the door are all loaded. Zhou Jiang pulled up the gun rope in front of the foot soldiers with a wave of his hand. At this moment, the foot soldiers couldn’t help breathing. Even Zhou Jiang looked solemn.
Li Chongjiu, King Mahan of Jichuan, set his eyes on the tip gun to see if the development of secret weapons can work in one fell swoop.
Zhou Jiang’s eyes flashed a sharp look and suddenly shouted "Let go!"
The foot soldiers suddenly pulled the gun rope and listened to the clucking. They threw their arms and shook the stone nest, drawing an arc in the stone shell and suddenly smashing it across the river.
The foot soldiers of the Dou Jiande army had long been on guard against this monster. When the stone fat bullets were shot out, the foot soldiers in the back row of Xia Jun were conscious and raised their shields to stop their heads.
But Xia Jun’s foot soldiers looked at this dark thing flying over the head from the gap and couldn’t help showing a surprised expression. What the hell is this?
Bang!
A stone bullet hit the beach like a broken tile and a broken can. After hiding in the shield, the foot soldiers immediately felt a heat wave coming.
Then boom a Fiona Fang ten steps to all.
Fire! Fire!
The Xia Jun foot soldiers screamed in horror, and the whole person rolled and beat himself in the fire, sticking to the fire place like black oil.
But it won’t help.
But the real goal of the tip gun is to lay the six pontoons across the river. The tip gun is more than 200 steps away from the pontoon. It is really difficult to correct it accurately.
One of the six pontoons was directly rubbed a little bit by a stone grease bomb, and more than one stone grease bomb fell into the river.
It’s nothing to lose just one pontoon bridge. General Dou Jiande, General Xia Jun and Xia Jun’s foot soldiers are all relieved. It’s true that the river is too wide and six pontoons are set up separately. It’s really not easy to hit the enemy’s riprap car.
Dou Jiande was a bit concerned. He said to the left and right, "The enemy really wants to burn down our pontoon bridge. If they had more trebuchets, we couldn’t help it, but now we are not afraid."
People repeatedly said yes, but then Liu Heita pointed to the river and said, "It’s not right for you."
As Liu Heita pointed out that there was a different side of the river, he saw that this dark thing directly fractured the river, but the whole river floated a thick black oil, and the black oil river actually rolled and burned.
Black oil not only burns, but also floats along the river to the pontoon bridge. When the black oil burns, it swims along the river and is polluted by pontoons.
Instantaneous fire suddenly rises and burns along the pontoon bridge. One side, Xia Jun’s loss-preventing foot soldiers take off their jackets and wet the river, desperately slamming the fire.
"Haha, Xia Jun must not understand that the real power of the stone grease bomb is that it burns on the water surface and floats along the water!" Zhou Zuo laughed. Of course, he was the happiest when the stone grease bomb was successfully tested.
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Jiang said, "Brothers, give me all the remaining grease bombs."
"promise!"
After giving the order, Zhou Jiang found himself carrying coals to Newcastle.
Seeing the thick stone grease floating along the river and six pontoons catching fire together, Zhou Jun’s foot soldiers didn’t know the principle of stone grease, but the stone grease burned more and more along the water potential.
The north wind is another wind to help the pontoon bridge wood ignite instantly.
The fire on the river is getting bigger and bigger, and the six pontoons are actually blinking and melting, and the fire dragons are burning. Not only the pontoons, but also the river is a crimson sea of fire.
Xia Jun foot soldiers are stunned to see such a scene. If others view it as spectacular.
