Datang romantic little landlord

Page 826

When Li Wangyou was holding a telescope to observe, Gao Shilian beside him was very curious about the telescope in his hand.

Although the telescope has been available in Datang for almost two years, Li Wangyou also handed over the method of making it to Li Er.

But because Datang has no glass, the telescopes are all made by using colorless and transparent crystals, which are manually polished, and the output is extremely low.

Nowadays, only the senior generals of the Imperial Army in Chang'an City have binoculars.

Therefore, even Gao Shilian, who is actually in power in Yizhou, has never seen such a novelty as a telescope.

He saw Li Wangyou holding this metal cylinder and kept looking towards the opposite side, and he was curious for a moment, so he asked.

"Ziyou, what is this in your hand?"

Li Wangyou looked at the telescope in his hand in a little astonishment, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Gao, this thing is called a telescope, and it's a gadget I ordered people to build. It can magnify people or objects in the distance for observation. "

"Oh? That's interesting. I wonder if Ziyou can lend me a look?"

Naturally, Li Wangyou would not refuse. He handed the telescope in his hand to Gao Shilian with a smile, and then instructed Gao Shilian how to use it.

"Hiss...this thing is really amazing! The old man can actually see the figure of the Liao people on the top of the mountain clearly!" After Gao Shilian learned how to use the binoculars, he also gasped in shock.

Gao Shilian, a big man, is like a child who has been given a novelty toy, holding the binoculars and refuses to let go.

This made Li Wangyou's heart skip a beat, thinking that this old man wouldn't be like Cheng Yaojin, let him borrow Jingzhou from Liu Bei, would he not pay back the loan?

Sure enough, after seeing enough, Gao Shilian put the binoculars into his arms very smoothly, with an expression of nothing happened.

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes silently, this old man's movements are very skillful!

Gao Shilian's act of putting something in his pocket reminded Li Wangyou of the doctor friend he knew in later generations.

The difference is that his doctor friend, along with his pen...

Whether it is a signature pen, a ballpoint pen or a fountain pen, as long as he dares to give it to his doctor friend, his next move after using it must be to put the pen in his pocket.

The movements are extremely skillful and natural, without any stagnation or disobedience, as if the pen was born to belong to him.

Regarding Gao Shilian's behavior of "following" his telescope, Li Wangyou opened his mouth, and finally decided to endure it.

Who told this old man to be Li Er's wife-in-law, the uncle of Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji, who was two generations older than Li Wangyou, so he couldn't be offended, couldn't be offended.

It's just a telescope, just treat it as a filial gift from the "junior".

Gao Shilian carefully observed the terrain of Zhang Fei's camp, and found all the captains and captains of the government soldiers to discuss how to attack.

Regarding Zhang Feiying's special terrain, no one had any good ideas.

Left and right had no better way, and after concluding with the captain and the school captain, they decided to attack first.

Because the mountain road is narrow, at most two people can walk side by side, so the troops involved in the attack cannot be invested too much.

The captain and the school captain carefully selected more than a hundred of the most powerful soldiers from among the [-] soldiers, and all of them put on bright armor and held heavy shields, ready to attack.

The fighting power of the soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty was quite strong.

If these more than a hundred government soldiers fought against the Liao people on flat ground, even if there were five or six hundred Liao people facing them, they would not be afraid.

It's just that due to the constraints of the terrain, he can only completely wrap himself in an iron shell to see if he can withstand the rain of arrows from the Liaoren.

After some preparations, the Tang army sounded the war drum, and more than a hundred fully armed government soldiers began to attack Zhang Feiying, and behind them, hundreds of government soldiers followed and were ready to support at any time.

As long as the vanguard can open a gap, the army behind will immediately take advantage of the situation and take down the hill where the Liao people are entrenched.

After the troops set off, Gao Shilian took out the binoculars from his pocket again and stared at every move on the mountain.Li Wangyou was also a little nervous, and asked Niu Wu to bring another pair of binoculars, and followed Gao Shilian to observe the movement on the mountain.

But I saw the government soldiers attacking the mountain, holding heavy shields in their hands, walking slowly towards the top of the mountain carefully.Hundreds of people climbed up to a height of 600 meters in one breath, and no one was seen in trouble.

Those bureaucrats didn't seem to notice the Tang army's offensive at the foot of the mountain.

Even Li Wangyou and Gao Shilian couldn't see the figure of the Liao people on the top of the mountain through the binoculars.

Just when the government soldiers turned a pass and were about to rush through the last few hundred meters in one go, they heard the sound of bronze drums and horns on the top of the mountain.

Then, hundreds of arrows came straight to the Tang army from the dense forest on the top of the mountain...

905 Where's your fucking Italian cannon?

Even though the more than a hundred Tang soldiers wrapped themselves like iron cans and protected them with heavy shields in their hands, they still couldn't resist the rain of arrows shooting from above.

More than a hundred powerful Tang soldiers raised their shields, trying in vain to charge upwards against the rain of arrows, but they didn't expect that the Liaoren would start rolling down the rock along the mountain path.

This time the government soldiers couldn't hold on any longer, they were knocked back and forth by the rocks on the narrow mountain road, screaming again and again.

The brigade commander who directed the attack did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered a retreat.

In one face-to-face effort, seven or eight of the more than one hundred Tang soldiers were killed, and as many as two or thirty were injured.

Gao Shilian and Li Wangyou both frowned as they watched from the foot of the mountain.

It is difficult to break through the tough bone of Zhang Feiying.

Unwilling to fail like this, the captain and captain of the Tang army tried to attack several times, but they all failed and lost a lot of manpower in vain.

Seeing this situation, Gao Shilian had no choice but to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and more than 2000 government soldiers set up camp at the foot of Zhang Feiying's mountain.

After arranging the defense to prevent the camp from being attacked by the bureaucrats, Gao Shilian summoned all the captains and captains of the government soldiers to his tent again to discuss how to break the situation.

Facing such terrain, everyone was helpless.

Li Wangyou was also very annoyed, at first he thought that the explosive pack he brought would be able to win by surprise, but he didn't expect that in such a situation, even the explosive pack in his hand would be useless.

He had thought that if he had a siege equipment such as a trebuchet, he should be able to throw the explosive package a hundred meters away.

But not to mention that the Tang army does not have a trebuchet in its hands now, even if it did, it would be impossible to transport it to the mountain to launch an attack.

What's more, there is no place to place a trebuchet on that narrow mountain road.

He also thought that if there was a large bed crossbow, maybe the explosive package could be tied to the crossbow and fired.

However, like the catapult, the large bed crossbow is also huge, making it difficult to carry it to the mountain for use.

Usually that kind of large bed crossbow is fixed on the city wall for defense.

Apart from this, Li Wangyou really couldn't think of any other way to throw the explosive package hundreds of meters.

He couldn't help thinking angrily that if there were modern weapons like mortars, this kind of terrain would be nothing at all.Covered by a round of artillery fire, those Liao people who were condescending and defending had to scatter and collapse.

But this kind of thing is just thinking about it, and there is no possibility of hot weapons such as mortars in Datang.
