The "History of Song" has no shortage of records of 'Liangshan Poduo thieves', 'Liangshan Po Suduo thieves', and 'Liangshan Po fishermen are used to be thieves'. Liangshan is the most favorable place to move against the mainstream order. The favorable position of Liangshan made Chai Jin, who was bent on restoring the Great Zhou Dynasty, look at him, and he armed Wang Lun with abundant funds, Wang Lun relied on funds to bribe Minlao, build Liangshan Cottage, and build Liangshan into a base for the restoration of Great Zhou. After Chao Gai became the lord of Liangshan, he did not dare to openly raise the banner of confrontation with the imperial court, but only used Liangshan as a place of refuge, in order to narrow the target, he no longer killed the robbed people when robbing property.
After Song Jiang ascended Tozan, in order to save Chai Rong, Song Jiang did not hesitate to openly call the imperial court and sent troops to attack Gao Tang Prefecture, officially embarking on the road of rebellion against the imperial court. With the help of Gongsun Sheng, he captured Gao Tang Prefecture, killed Gao Lian, and robbed the money and grain. The imperial court first learned that there was a rebel group in Liangshan, and immediately sent Hu Yanzhuo, a descendant of the hero, to lead the elite ironclad army of the imperial court to conquer Liangshan, and Liangshan was facing the disaster of destruction.
Although the Song Dynasty had a large number of troops, but very concerned about the lives of soldiers, ordnance and equipment higher than the dynasties, high-tech was applied, the ironclad army was only one of the secret weapons of the imperial court to defend the northern country, the sea ships and artillery were used on the battlefield, such as when Lieutenant Gao was attacking Liangshan, he asked Ye Chun to design and build the loach and small sea loach warships, each ship can accommodate hundreds to hundreds of people, external bamboo scars, both to avoid arrows, but also to set up crossbow machines on the surface, officers and soldiers rely on these warships to be unimpeded in the mooring. During the Northern Song Dynasty, a gunpowder bureau for the manufacture of gunpowder was also set up, and the world's earliest weapons ------ rockets appeared. When the thunderbolt struck Liangshan, three kinds of artillery were used: wind artillery, golden wheel cannon and sub-mother cannon. Wu Yong thought, "My cottage is surrounded by water berths on all sides, and there are many harbors." Wanzi City is far from the water. There are always flying artillery, how to hit the edge of the city. Who knew that Ling Zhen only fired three cannons, "two hit into the water, one straight to the small village by the duckbill beach", so that "all the leaders lost their color", which shows the distance of its shooting range. Judging from the eight characters in the book, "The sky collapses and the mountains fall and the stones crack", its lethality can be imagined. The ordnance equipment of the Song Dynasty was the best in the world at that time, and it was easy to attack the Liangshan clique, which was born of mud legs. Liangshan had 58 leaders at that time, Lu Junyi did not go to Liangshan, the five tigers were only Lin Chong and Qin Ming, and those who were strong in martial arts also included Hua Rong and Zhu Tong, and the overall strength was not good enough to defeat One-third of Gao Li. Liangshan was still in a weak period, and did not have the capital to fight against the imperial court, let alone the strength to fight against the ironclad corps and artillery.
The three thousand consecutive armored horses led by Hu Yanzhuo, the famous general of Hedong, rode into a team every thirty horses, a total of one hundred teams, and the formation was swinging open, and the formation was huge and mighty. Under the order of the commander Hu Yanzhuo, the nama team rumbled and rushed towards the Liangshan army. The position set by the good men of Liangshan was suddenly overwhelmed by the chain of iron horses! Coupled with Ling Zhen's artillery, the Liangshan army had never seen it, the continuous horses were indestructible, the thunder was all broken, and Song Jiang suffered the biggest defeat since his debut. Frightened, Song Jiang even moved his headquarters to Liangshan, Chao Gai could not sit still and personally arrange for the water army to arrest Ling Zhen, Liangshan had to fight a battle, Hu Yanzhuo if he did not underestimate Liangshan, bringing the elite water division of the imperial court, may have destroyed Liangshan in a battle. In the face of the imperial court's three thousand chains of armor and horses, Liangshan has no way to crack it, even if there is a natural danger of water, the imperial court does not dispatch water divisions, only rely on serial armor and horses, it can trap Liangshan to death, Liangshan has no base, grain only relies on robbery, within three months, more than 6,000 Liangshan people and horses will be cut off from grain, no battle will collapse, Liangshan is facing a moment of life and death, people's hearts are floating, everyone is in danger, and the army has no combat effectiveness. Even Wu Yong had no way out, and Liangshan's process was faced with the first life-and-death decision.
At this time, Tang Long introduced: "Xiao Ke's ancestors built military weapons for a living. Therefore, his father was slightly fair to the old breeders in art, and he had to be a Yan'an Zhizhai. The first dynasty used this 'chain horse' to win. When breaking the array, it must be broken with a 'hook and sickle gun'. Tang Long's ancestors already have a drawing here, if you want to build it, you can start. Although Tang Long can fight, he will not make it. If you want to make it, it's only my uncle and brother. Will make this hook and sickle gun method, only he has a godhead. His family learned from the ancestors and did not teach outsiders. Either right away, or on foot, it's the law; the end moves, the gods are haunted! Lin Chong also immediately had an epiphany: Didn't you see Xu Ning, a teacher of the Golden Gun Class? Judging from Lin Chong's conversation with Xu Ning, Xu Ning's status is similar to Lin Chong's. And Xu Ning's pomp and circumstance seems to be better than Lin Chong, mainly Xu Ning is more adapted to the general environment of the Song Dynasty, as the emperor's side guard, Xu Ning is very valued, mixed with a lot stronger than Lin Chong, the same teacher, Xu Ning spring wind triumphant, Lin Chong is subject to Gao Taiwei, also has a beautiful wife, Lin Chong but even his wife can not keep, Xu Ning was a successful person at that time.
The Golden Gun Class was the personal bodyguard of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, in the History of the Song Dynasty. The Forbidden Army", it is recorded: "The Golden Gun Class is left and right class two, and the old name is Neizhi. At the beginning of the Taiping Revival, those who made good use of guns and mallets in the various armies were re-elected to make up for them. "Since the time of Emperor Renzong of Song's Taiping Revival, excellent golden gunners have been honored to be selected as the emperor's intimate guards. This is undoubtedly a special honor. Xu Ning, who was a professional officer, was such a bodyguard, serving the emperor every day. The Song Dynasty Forbidden Army refers to the Guards around Tianzi, half of which are assembled around Tokyo to protect the Beijing Division, and the other half are stationed in the local area to rush, and the Forbidden Army is a unit that has received formal military training. The forbidden army is divided into different classes according to the origin of officers and men, the positions they hold, and the different types of soldiers, and each class also has a resounding title, such as "Guiming Bohai Class" means that it is composed of subjugated Bohai people; "Golden Gun Class" refers to the cavalry class that is proficient in gunsmith, and "Golden Gunner" Xu Ning is the martial arts instructor of this class. When it comes to the golden gunner, everyone must naturally think of "Wu Yong makes the time to move the thief armor", "the hook and sickle gun breaks the chain horse".
Xu Ning fell into the trap set by Liangshan and was involuntarily deceived into Liangshan. Xu Ning, as a member of the elite division of the Great Song Dynasty, would not easily help Liangshan, he was not seduced by Song Jiang's theory of Heaven and Earth, Tang Long put on Xu Ning's armor to rob merchants of their belongings to cut off their way back, Xu Ning still did not teach the "hook and sickle gun method", when Liang Shan took Xu Ning's wife and children, even the two envoys in the family also moved to Liangshan by the way, Xu Ning gave in, because Xu Ning was an upper-class person who hurt his wife and children the most, and the machismo of Liangshan was prevalent, and the only one who respected his wife was Lin Chong And Xu Ningqing, out of blue, actually held the child at home, and his wife was kind and loving, which was really unforgettable for the reader!
Xu Ning's hook and sickle gun can not only get on horseback to capture the enemy, but also not fall behind in infantry combat. The eight-character mantra is "hook, dial, squeeze, pay, save, divide, fight, grab". Pay attention to breaking the enemy with skill, four or two strokes of a thousand pounds. He is the nemesis of Huyan Zhao's serial horse. After Xu Ning went up the mountain, his first task was to teach the hook and sickle gun method to break the continuous horse formation infantry down the mountain and divide into ten teams to lure the enemy; but when he saw the army and horses rushing to cover the future, they all looked forward to walking in the reed and thorny forest. First ambush the hook and sickle sergeant on the other, every ten will make the hook and sickle gun, ask ten scratching hookers, but when the horse arrives, as soon as the hook is turned over, the scratching hook will be put in and caught. Because of the cover of reeds, the hook and sickle gunners are even more comfortable. After Hu Yanzhao's calculations, the armor and horses on both sides of his army were hooked, and the self-disorder in the middle was quickly defeated. Due to Xu Ning's hook and sickle gun method, the Song army's powerful continuous horse lineup was defeated by Liangshan, the Liangshan group gained a new life, through the defeat of Hu Yanzhuo, the Liangshan group got a large number of ordnance and soldiers, the Liangshan army gradually achieved regularization, the combat effectiveness was greatly improved, and more importantly, Liangshan's prestige was greatly improved, becoming the surrender place of good men near and far, so the battle of the ironclad army of the hook and sickle gun defeat of Hu Yanzhuo changed the course of Liangshan, and the imperial court lost a thousand-year opportunity and only chance to destroy Liangshan. Song Jiang's theory of Heaven and Earth became the guiding ideology of Liangshan, Liangshan's army developed by leaps and bounds, the imperial court army never gained the advantage over Liangshan again, the Liangshan clique attacked the prefecture and seized the county to borrow grain, completely destroyed the harmony and military strength of the Song Dynasty, and also changed the course of the Song Dynasty, it seems that they were all destined, the ironclad army and artillery defending the Song Dynasty were therefore no longer valued by the imperial court, the opportunity to improve military equipment to defend the country was lost, and the Song Dynasty also lost the opportunity to carry forward and continue to exist. Inevitably, it was destroyed by the nomadic peoples of the north, and China entered a stage of conservative degradation.
