Chapter 794

Fang Xie asked someone to put a recliner outside the gate of the camp. He lay on it and narrowed his eyes to bask in the sun. It's already hot. Only the morning sunshine is the most comfortable. The breeze brings the rare freshness of the day, and the temperature shed by the rising sun makes people's skin breathe.

On the third day of Dali City, Fang Xie didn't seem to have the intention to attack the city. The following generals will ask for war every day at the point of Mao. Fang Xie just said he was not in a hurry. The generals don't know when he plans to attack the city. Someone asked Wu Yidao. Wu Yidao smiled and said that the steamed bread had been put in the pot. We had to wait until it was cooked before opening the lid.

We still don't understand. When will it be cooked?

Several war horses roared in the distance. The knight on the horse jumped down and walked quickly to Fang Xie's body. The appearance of the head was obviously very different from that of the Han people. He had yellow hair, blue eyes and high nose, so that he looked a little different in Han clothes.

"Master, I've seen it."

It was Andrew who arrived at the camp last night. This rose Chinese has been used to life in the Central Plains and speaks Chinese more and more fluently. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked a little solemn.

"My subordinates have observed the artillery on the city wall. In appearance, it is larger than that forged by our workshop, and the bore is also larger. It is estimated that the range is longer than that of our artillery. Because it is not regulated, our artillery can not use the captured artillery. If you want to use the improved artillery, the previous artillery can not be used. You must re mold it and I will pay us back later Take apart the captured guns and see what the structure is different. "

"You can't waste what was cast before."

Fang Xie frowned slightly. He had thought of such a result and felt a pity in his heart. The most important thing about the power of artillery is its explosive power and range. The artillery forged by the black flag military workshop is not as good as the artillery of the opru empire in range. If there is a war in the future, it will be at a disadvantage.

"It's not useful to fight foreigners, but it's still useful to fight other enemies."

Future enemies, at least in a short time, will not be foreigners.

Andrew nodded: "Don't hurry to reshape. My subordinates are going to take it apart and see if there are any improvements in the artillery of the opru empire. If we hurry to finalize the production, we can only follow the opru empire. If we can think of an improved method and put it into production, at least we won't be left too much by the enemy. Moreover, there are many molds in our factory Once it is finalized, it can not be changed at will. So in a short time... At least in a few years, the artillery of the opru empire will be like this, and there will be no major changes. "

"After the artillery is formed, the main research direction is the improvement of artillery shells. Before the artillery shells can not be sent further, what we can do is to maximize the power of artillery shells."

Andrew said: "it is undeniable that the firearms equipment of the opru empire is more advanced than that of the Principality of Ross. The firearms factory of the Principality of Ross has not been improved for many years. Even with the same power, the range gap is enough to cause a fatal blow. If the other party's range is 1000 meters and we are 800 meters, the distance of 200 meters can fill in countless lives."

"However, if there were only these artillery in Dali, it would not be enough to stop the army from attacking the city."

Andrew concluded: "the power of the artillery is indeed much better than the riprap truck, but now the riprap truck in the great Sui Dynasty has reached the extreme of manufacturing technology. I have seen the largest riprap truck in the army, which needs 200 people to operate. It can send a thousand kilograms of boulders for two or three miles. Such a range is almost the same as that of the artillery of the opru Empire, or even slightly stronger."

Fang Xie said, "but there are only three such huge stone dumpers in the army."

It is extremely difficult to manufacture such a huge riprap truck, and it is too large for transportation. It only needs 200 people to complete the operation. It is not easy to transport it to the battlefield and install it.

Andrew said: "Three guns are enough. My subordinates have observed that in order to ensure stability, the artillery in Dali city is fixed, that is, it can only adjust the up and down angles, but it is difficult to adjust the left and right. It plays a great role in defending the infantry battle array, but it can't accurately attack the enemy. My subordinates will find out the dead corner position of the enemy artillery in a moment, and then set up the three giant guns The riprap truck is enough to make the city wall a mess. "

Fang Xie nodded: "you can arrange it. In addition, you can interrogate the foreigners captured alive, and I'll ask the people of Xiaoqi school to help you. We should not only ask about the manufacturing technology of artillery, but also whether the opru Empire has plans to move to the Central Plains."

"Subordinates understand!"

Andrew nodded.

"How much do you know about the opru Empire?"

Fang Xie asked.

Fang Xie didn't pay so much attention to the name of the empire before, so Fang Xie didn't ask Andrew about it. Now it seems that the ambitious Empire intends to use force at this end of the ocean.

"My subordinates don't know much."

Andrew thought for a moment and said, "the emperor of the oplu empire was Peter Lyman, known as the Lyman great. When he succeeded to the throne, the territory of the oplu empire was not one-third as large as that of the Aegean Empire, because the national strength was not strong, and the oplu empire could only be regarded as a third rate country on the continent on the other side of the sea."

"But this man has a special mind and a cold heart. It is said that he poisoned his father and brother before he succeeded to the throne. The first thing after he succeeded to the throne was to kill his two younger brothers and his brother's family, and then promote his confidants to be the most important ministers under his command. In the next few years, he gradually took back the imperial army from the Archduke and marquis, Then train yourself. "

"On the day of the Lantern Festival... The Lantern Festival is like the Spring Festival in the Central Plains. It is the most peaceful day. According to the Convention, the Lantern Festival is a day when the emperor of heaven lets the people relax and enjoy themselves, and war is not allowed. However, the great Lyman obviously has no respect for the emperor of heaven. On the day of the Lantern Festival, he fought against his neighbors, embezzled 200 miles to the West in one day, and then took advantage of the enemy's lack of response Come here, hit the capital of the neighboring country in one breath, and then use tricks to lure the emperor of the neighboring country out of the city to negotiate and kill him. "

"In only two months, he destroyed the neighboring countries. Since then, the opru empire began to invade continuously. Lyman the great knew how to use tactics. He allied with distant countries, sent a lot of money and beautiful women, and constantly attacked the neighboring countries. Under such differentiation, he doubled the territory of the opru empire in only three years, which was more than the largest empire ever The Aegean empire is even bigger. "

"Lyman the great was a ruthless man. He squeezed the people in the occupied territories, just as he squeezed oranges for juice, and used all his harvest to equip the army. In terms of the country's wealth, the Aegean empire was comparable to the three auprus, but in terms of the strength of force, the auprus were comparable to the three AEgeans."

Andrew sighed and said, "the opru empire is like a deformed giant with strong arms enough to dance huge weapons."

Fang Xie suddenly thought of the madman who launched the world war in his previous life.

"When he came down to the Central Plains, the opru empire was at war with the Aegean empire. At the beginning, in order to paralyze the people of the Aegean Empire, Lyman the great submitted his credentials to the Aegean Empire and expressed his willingness to submit to the Aegean empire. He was also willing to give half of the benefits obtained in each war to the Aegean Empire, so that the emperors and nobles of the Aegean Empire were greatly benefited Yi blinded his eyes. "

"Until the army of the opru Empire attacked the Aegean Empire, the nobles were still arguing about how to divide the gold, silver and jewelry offered by the opru empire. Lyman the great was a man who was good at making weapons with gold and was often easier to defeat the enemy than his army."

Andrew said with some disappointment: "so, until the army of the aupru Empire had appropriated the two principalities of the Aegean Empire, the emperor of the Aegean Empire still refuted the messenger for help and scolded him for deliberately destroying the pure friendship between the Aegean Empire and the aupru empire."

He spread his hand: "in this case, how can the Aegean Empire be invincible? Although the war was not over when it came down, everyone knows that the Aegean empire will perish sooner or later."

Fang Xie nodded and remembered the name Peter Lehmann.

"Master, when will you attack Dali?"

Asked Andrew.

"Wait a little longer."

Fang Xie's eyes floated to Dali City: "give them some more time."

……

……

Dali City

The street closest to the palace is called Shengchang street. Few ordinary people can live in this street. Although this place can't compare with every inch of land and gold on the South Street of Tai Chi hall in Chang'an city of the great Sui Dynasty, and money can't be bought, it's not a place that ordinary people can expect.

The prime minister's house is located in the east of Shengchang street, which is less than half an hour's walk from the palace.

As the most powerful Zhu family in Nanyan family, it not only has absolute power locally, but also one of the families that can influence Murong shame in Dali city. Zhu Chijian has been sitting steadily in the position of Prime Minister for so many years, but he is not the only one who can be an official.

Sandalwood was burning in the living room, and the smell penetrated into people's nose, as if it could be directly rolled into their mind. It is said that this fragrance has a calming effect. In fact, it is only because it is golden enough that it will be selected by the rich.

The man sitting in front of Zhu Chijian is still very young. It should be the first time to undertake such an important task alone, so it seems a little unnatural.

After Zhu looked at him, he couldn't help smiling: "I have to admire the Duke of town. It's a very proud thing to have your young and courageous men. I can't understand how you got into Dali city and how you had the courage to enter my house."

"How old are you?"

He asked.

The young man replied, "nineteen."

Zhu Chijian was slightly stunned: "I can take on such a great task at the age of 19... The Duke of town really dares to employ people."

The young man smiled: "the Duke of Zhenguo is only twenty years old."

Zhu Chijian found that although the young man was somewhat unnatural, this unnaturalness was not confined, nor worried, nor timid, but... Excited?

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take you down at my command? As long as I wave, the guards outside will rush in. I don't believe you can withstand the torture and catch all you sneakers, so it's difficult for the Duke of town to continue his calculation?"

The young man brushed his lips: "There is a seven step distance between me and you. For the sake of keeping this conversation confidential, you let the servants out. If you order to catch me, the people outside need to run at least 15 steps, and I have half the time to kill you. The Duke of town said that you only need to measure what you do, that is, suffer a loss? I'm just a small person. You are the Prime Minister of Nanyan, such as If I can kill you, I won't suffer. "

He smiled: "what's more, if you want to catch me, why wait until now?"

Zhu Chijian couldn't help praising: "if the people of the black flag army under the Duke of Zhenguo are as brave as you, few people can really compete."

"You're wrong."

The young man smiled and said, "how can they all be like me? Most of them are better than me."

Zhu Chijian was slightly stunned: "come on, why did the Duke of town ask you to come."

Young humanitarian: "show the prime minister a way... Ming Road."
