Quiet night, but Guo Shao knows that the enemy soldiers are close, and is expected to appear nearby tomorrow morning.
The soldiers who were not on duty had all rested early. At this time, even the guards of the Chinese Army who stood at the guard station were either standing or sitting. Guo Shao looked out from the open tent and saw a soldier sitting by the fire, immersed in his needle and thread, and silently sewing his clothes. The soldier was very strong, but he was very young, and he looked like a teenager.
Guo Shao stretched out his hand and rubbed his neck, and continued to write his calculations on the simple chopping board.
The flat-fired copper artillery was built soon, and there was a watch. The so-called gun table means that after specifying the size of the gun, the amount of charge, and the weight of the iron shot, a table is made after calculation and testing using the parabolic formula to compare the range of each elevation angle.
However, this gun table is based on a flat ground table. Now Guo Shao is temporarily calculating the gun table when the **** is more than ten degrees. Because of the tight time, he has just set up camp today, so that it is dark that he hasn't calculated it yet.
...The original flat ground gun watch was made in the Tokyo schoolyard.
First calculate the acceleration of gravity. The data in the original formula cannot be used because the conversion value of the unit meter and second and the actual measurement cannot be found. The method is to re-experiment. The measurement of time is an hourglass with a scale, with the unit of a finger (approximately equal to a second); the unit of length is feet, feet, inches, minutes, centimeters, milliseconds, and silk. Of course, the so-called precision units in the back can be ignored, with the current artillery For craftsmanship and measurement tools, a unit that is too small is meaningless at all. By measuring the time and height of the iron ball dropped from the Buddha, and taking the average value several times, the acceleration of gravity can be calculated.
Next is the calculation of the initial velocity vector generated at the elevation angle, which is also very simple. A wooden protractor is used for the elevation angle, and the trigonometric function value only needs to be modeled by drawing a triangle based on the angle, and multiplying and dividing by the length of each side figure.
The shot table made in this way not only has a simple comparison table, but also can set formulas; if you find angles that are not on the shot table temporarily, you can quickly set the formula calculation on the spot.
……When the actual battlefield has a slope, it can also be calculated using the basic kinematic formula to form a new gun table.
As for the measurement of the length of the battlefield, Guo Shao probably remembered that modern artillery mirrors were used; but now obviously there is no such thing, and it can't be done. His method is rather stupid.
Two ways, one is to choose those who have a stronger sense of distance to estimate with their eyes, such as those who used to watch the distance on the city wall for the stone cart when defending the city. The second is to use a rope to measure an integer distance on the battlefield, nail the stakes, and use those stakes as a reference when the war starts.
Now there are many wooden stakes on the **** in front, which are sparsely nailed during the day. It is estimated that the enemy doesn't know what it is for, because there is no defensive effect.
At this moment, a person approached. Guo Shao was instinctively more alert in a strange place. He looked up and found that it was a book official in a round-neck green robe bringing hot tea.
He ignored it, and suddenly remembered something, he raised his head and asked: "You can read and arithmetic?"
The book official hurriedly bowed and said: "Back to your majesty, the villain will."
Guo Shao beckoned over immediately: "You come and help me count."
The bookkeeper walked forward cautiously, glanced at the ghost-like symbols (with various symbols and Arabic numerals) on the case, and his face looked like crying.
Guo Shao looked up, "Don't worry, I will teach you the calculation process, you just need to follow the process to count."
Guo Shao talked with him for a while, and the book official gradually realized that he only needed to add, subtract, multiply and divide specific numbers. The bookkeeper left the tent again and took a little abacus.
Soon there was a swift "pop" sound from the tent of the Chinese Army, and the bookkeeper worked very fast...The abacus was like an ancient version of a calculator, and its efficiency was much higher than that of a pen. Guo Shao was deeply impressed.
...Nothing happened overnight. As soon as it was dark, Guo Shao woke up at the familiar rhythm of drum horns outside the barracks, got up and put on clothes and armor. A group of soldiers took care of him.
Guo Shao asked: "The enemy has arrived?"
The bookkeeper who helped him arithmetic last night said: "My Majesty, his striker arrived as scheduled and occupied the high mountain **** to the west."
Guo Shao stretched out his arms, and the **** and the male servant hurriedly put a clean lining with green salt washing fragrance on him. Guo Shao looked calm and calm, his eyes were calm but sharp, and his spirit adjusted to his best condition.
He looked very calm, and asked the bookkeeper: "By the way, I forgot to ask you last night. What is your name?"
The enemy soldier approached under his nose, and the emperor was still in the mood to care about a small official, his calmness infected everyone.
The book official hurriedly replied: "In response to your Majesty, the villain is called Zhang Yin, a native of Xishu."
Guo Shaodao: "You speak Mandarin very well."
With the help of everyone, Guo Shao quickly put on the refined plate armor and the dark purple cloak. He is not yellow on the battlefield, it is too bright, and it is easy to cause the enemy to take care of him under special circumstances.
The belt with the gold buckle was tied around his waist, and Guo Shao lifted the sword and put it on. Then wash and eat half full.
He walked out of the tent neatly and stood on the **** to observe for a while. At this time, the sky was brighter. In the early spring of the morning, the valleys were still covered with milky white mist. Guo Shao looked up at the sky. The weather was fine today.
There was no dancing on the top of the mountain to the west. Looking at Guo Shao, he could see a flag on it and a figure standing on it.
The people who stood on high places before the war were mostly the commanders of the coalition forces. Guo Shao went there yesterday, maybe the footprints are still there now. Obviously guessing that Li Yiyin might also be there, Guo Shao felt close.
Different people stand on the same land and have different positions. What is Li Yiyin thinking now?
Guo Shao looked around for a while, and the generals came to the Chinese army one after another. The Forbidden Army still retains a lot of the battle formation habits of the past years, first come to the main general, and finally deploy the battle formation.
Nearly a hundred people came, and almost all the generals above the commanders arrived. Everyone watched the battle formation on the opposite side while waiting for Guo Shao's order.
"Last night before the army, everything was deployed as planned." Guo Shao said.
At this time, the generals gradually quieted down.
Guo Shaodao: "According to the facts before the battle, the generals can make a reasonable decision on the occasion. However, without permission, copper artillery and arquebus are not allowed! You remember clearly that the signal with a firearm is "Ambush on Ten Sides"; counterattack The signal is "General Order"!"
The generals yelled and responded.
Guo Shao paused. Xindao, like this, a decisive battle can only happen if the two sides are willing and willing. If the party and the Khitan coalition are unwilling, can they concentrate the army here? This is an opportunity. Guo Shao is focusing on the cavalry of the coalition army...especially the iron cavalry of the Liao army, because in his eyes, only the fine cavalry of the Liao army can be regarded as a qualified and organized cavalry army!
You need to lure the Liao army's elite to ride up before the war can really begin.
Guo Shao's expression became awe-inspiring, and he said: "The Forbidden Army is composed of Kyushu's most refined and fierce sons, equipped with the best equipment, food and clothing, and it is the people's cream of countless Han people!"
The words became serious immediately, and everyone stood upright in awe. People-oriented, thinking in the Tang Dynasty, Guo Shao's words are still very grounded.
Guo Shaolang said: "The children came here over the mountains, not to make a fool of, but to make people laugh, but for the face of the Han family, and not to bear the ardent expectations of me and the Li people. For dignity, to protect the country and the people, For every inch of land left by our ancestors, I hope you all will work hard to kill the enemy!"
People responded.
Guo Shao didn't say much after listening, and ordered: "Prepare for war!"
The generals shouted: "Serve the emperor!" "God bless my emperor, longevity!"
……
The mountains and plains are full of troops in queues. Yang Dagon watched the momentum in front of him, from the purge of the army, he said: "The number of enemies is only one-third of ours, but this is a fierce battle."
The total number of Xu Jun riding here is just over 40,000, while the coalition forces are about 120,000!
Li Yi Yin said: "Xu Jun came here first, why didn't you choose the mountain we occupy, but the place opposite?"
Yang Dagon also didn't understand at all, only said: "But the opposite side is open, and I can fight for it!"
The allied troops arrived on the battlefield in mighty and mighty footsteps, with greater momentum, and the large numbers of men and horses spread out more horizontally. Gradually, the situation seemed to be a semi-arc, forming a semi-encircling state on the sides of Xu Jun.
More than 160,000 horses gathered in this place, and the hustle and bustle between the ravines was abnormal, the flags were like clouds, and the scene was magnificent.
The two riders have already clashed in the ravine between the two mountains, and the silhouette of the knight pulling the bow was seen passing by in the distance.
The number of coalition forces is absolutely superior, and Yang Dagon and Li Yiyin both decided to attack. Yang Dagon suggested: "The frontal **** is the slowest. The front infantry can get close to the formation, and then send out the infantry to attack. The cavalry guards behind the two wings and does not move.
Although there is preparation and training, the party’s army warhorse may be uncomfortable in the face of the explosion of firearms. It is most appropriate to first use the infantry to face the enemy's phalanx. "
Although Li Yiyin is the main commander in chief, he also believes in the experience of the lieutenant general of the Liao army, so he adopted the suggestion.
Yang Dagon added: "Xu's army is smaller, but the army is clean and can't be attacked at a time, so you can take turns to attack."
After some preparations, the Dangxiang infantry moved forward from the hillside. They were also a group of people, with different clothes and armor. Many people carried bows and arrows and had various weapons, but each of them was quite powerful.
Hengshan produces iron, and the Dangxiang infantry armour rate is very high, but it is obviously unable to organize a blacksmith's workshop to process the armor. The soldiers wear a mess of armor, all of which are made at home.
Li Yiyin is still very confident. It is true that you can not fight well in battle, but rely on human bravery!
Large swaths of infantry spread down the mountain, like a black torrent. Li Yiyin looked at this spectacular scene with excitement and nervousness. Everyone comes to war, all to win!
Between the valleys, drums and shouts roared, shaking mountains and rivers. Li Yiyin held the hilt tightly, his knuckles turned white with excessive force.
