Shi Jin smiled, looked at Ling Zhen and said, "Do you want to make that weapon with your own hands?"
Ling Zhen heard some movement, but he still asked worriedly: "Can we really hit thirteen or four miles?"
Shi Jin patted his chest and said affirmatively.
"Go out and ask.
I, Shi Jin, am a well-known trustworthy man.
I spit on my tongue and nail it on my head.
I will never lie to you."
Of course it can be built.
Think about it, those large-caliber artillery can generally hit thirty to forty kilometers, sixty to seventy miles.
The Barbados cannon with the longest artillery range is a 36-meter-long cannon with a caliber of 424 mm.
The cannon successfully ejected a 90-kilogram shell into space 180 kilometers high.
Later simulation calculations showed that this artillery can theoretically launch a 100-kilogram shell to a distance of 4,000 kilometers and 8,000 miles.
Thirteen and four miles is just trivial But as for when it will be possible to create a cannon barrel and gunpowder with such a long range to achieve this goal, then it is none of Shi Jin's business.
Isn't that your Ling Zhen's business?
Anyway, as long as you, Ling Zhen, enter my den of thieves, you still want to get out.
Ling Zhen has an almost crazy obsession with long-range attack weapons, hoping to create weapons with the longest range and the most power.
Because of this, he spent his own money to develop and improve catapults and gunpowder.
Although his education from childhood to adulthood made him know that he should not become a bandit and dishonor his innocence.
I heard Shi Jin say that the weapon can really hit thirteen or four miles.
A weapon with such a long range made Ling Zhen unable to calm down at all.
His heart felt like a deer had taken up residence and kept jumping around.
Ling Zhen was very hesitant.
He raised his head and said, "Well, I, I need to think about it again."
Shi Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, go back and think about it.
Think about making that weapon with your own hands, and think about the historical records describing how shocking the weapons you Ling Zhen made brought to the enemy.
Think about the sense of accomplishment that makes others feel fearful when they hear your name.
That is something that ordinary people cannot enjoy."
Hearing Shi Jin's seductive description made Ling Zhen even more confused.
Ling Zhen was taken down, and it was impossible to imprison him in the prison camp this time.
Shi Jin arranged for Ling Zhen to live alone in a certain tent, and asked people to bring him soup, wine and food, and take good care of him.
After making arrangements for Ling Zhen, Shi Jin called Zhu Gui over and said, "Then Feng Mei still refuses to surrender?"
Zhu Gui nodded and said, "Yes, that guy refused to surrender."
"Forget it, you won't surrender, so let's keep Brother Zhu Gui in prison for now.
Send someone to escort the families of the three leaders Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi up the mountain first."
"I'll do it" "Well, let's escort Ling Zhen's family members up the mountain as well to confirm his desire to surrender."
"yes" Shi Jin thought for a moment, and there was nothing else to do.
So he called his own soldiers over and said, "Give me the order to pack up and prepare to return to Liangshan."
When they heard that they were going back to Liangshan, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army packed their bags happily.
When Liangshan's army returned, Tong Guan erected a flag outside Yuncheng County to gather the defeated troops.
Upon hearing Tong Guan's summons, Liu Yanqing rushed over with his nearly 10,000 troops to join them.
His front army ran fast, while Xin Xingzong's rear army was busy putting out the fire.
As soon as Liangshan's army came to kill them, they ran away.
The most important thing for Tong Guan was the arrival of more than 20,000 Western troops.
After gathering and counting, he found that there were more than 15,000 troops, which finally made Tong Guan feel better.
Coupled with the imperial troops arriving one after another, Tong Guan gathered more than 20,000 officers and soldiers.

Upon hearing that Liu Yanqing was back, Tong Guan immediately ordered someone to tell Liu Yanqing to come in.
As soon as he entered the commander's camp, without waiting for Tong Guan to scold him, Liu Yanqing knelt down on one knee and shouted: "The general is incompetent and has caused the army to suffer a tragic defeat.
I beg the Prime Minister to punish him."
Seeing Liu Yanqing kneeling in the audience, he thought that it was this man's escape that led to the defeat of the front army, and then the front army overwhelmed the Chinese army, which led to the great defeat.
Tong Guan angrily slapped the desk and stood up, shouting angrily: "You are also a veteran in the army.
You have been in battle for a long time and are familiar with the art of war.
I have repeatedly told you to hold on and delay the bandits.
When our army is ready, we will be ready.
I didn't expect that your army wouldn't be able to defend you even for an hour.
Come on, you abandoned the army and fled privately, lost the position, overwhelmed the central army, and caused the army to suffer a disastrous defeat.
It is all your fault.
If you are not beheaded in public, it is not enough to establish the true nature of the army.
How can you convince everyone in the future?
, drag this man out and behead him.”
When he heard that Tong Guan wanted to kill Liu Yanqing, Xin Xingzong, who was also in the Western Army, immediately stepped forward to dissuade him and said: "Your Excellency, the traitors have not yet been wiped out.
If you want to kill a good general, wouldn't it be a pity that General Liu has made mistakes and wants to fight now?"
Now, when it is time to employ people, you can remember their faults, ask them to make meritorious deeds, and make up for their mistakes."
Song Jiang also stood up at this time and shouted: "Yes, Prime Minister, killing General Liu now will not help the situation, and it will also destroy a general of our army and make those thieves laugh.
Please Prime Minister Your Excellency is aware of this and allows General Liu to take advantage of his crime and perform meritorious service."
Bi Sheng and several other generals also stood up and shouted: "I beg the Prime Minister to be accommodating and allow General Liu to take advantage of his crime and perform meritorious service."
Tong Guan heard the hum and shouted: "If it weren't for the kindness of so many generals, I would not spare you.
Now I will spare you from death, and I will give you this life.
If you dare to offend again, you will be punished for both crimes."
Liu Yanqing hurriedly shouted: "Thank you, Prime Minister, in the future the general will fight bravely and atone for his sins."
If Tong Guan hadn't fallen into Qin Ming's plan to surrender, how could the officers and soldiers be easily attacked by the gang of bandits in Liangshan.
If we really talk about it, Tong Guancai needs to bear the greatest responsibility for this defeat.
But whoever dares to say this is seeking death?
Liu Yanqing also knew it, and Tong Guan also knew it.
So seeing Liu Yanqing taking the responsibility for the defeat, Tong Guan held it up high and put it down gently.
Otherwise, according to Tong Guan's character, Liu Yanqing would have been pulled down and executed long ago, and he would still listen to his nonsense.
Tong Guan shouted: "Get up and tell us how your front army was defeated that day.
Tell us the battle in detail.
Don't hide it."
"Yes" Liu Yanqing stood up and told the story of the war in detail.
When Liu Yanqing heard that the enemy's catapult had a range of three to four hundred steps, General Tong Guan asked, "Is the catapult really that far away?"
Liu Yanqing nodded and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, if this were not the case, our front army would not have been defeated like this.
The opponent's catapult was really too powerful and our front army could not withstand it."
Only then did Tong Guan remember a person and asked hurriedly: "What about Ling Zhen?
Where can I call him over now?"
Bi Sheng hurriedly stood up and raised his hands and said: "Your Excellency, some soldiers saw that Ling Zhen was captured by the gang of thieves in Liangshan."
Tong Guan frowned when he heard that, "What, damn it.
You must send someone to investigate why the opponent's catapult can hit so far.
If you can learn from the catapult, it will be helpful for attacking Xixia or even Liao." beneficial” "yes" Tong Guan was very angry at the gang of thieves in Liangshan.
Although I feel that those gangs of thieves are capable of fighting, they would never be able to defeat me if it weren't for trickery.
Now he has gathered more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, including more than 15,000 Western troops, which is quite powerful.

Tong Guan looked at several of his close men in the camp and said, "I intend to attack those bandits in Liangshan again.
What do you think?"
