After the Qin family's morning exercise, Qin Chengye led Wang Xiao and his party to inspect the Zhongtun Guard in Guangning.

Wang Xiaoxin was thinking about the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but Qin Chengye took him to see the Hongyi cannon on the head of Jinzhou City first.

It's like a kid who wants to show off the best exam paper.

"This cannon has a thick barrel wall, a long range, and a large firepower, and the cavalry formation of the thief slave is the most useful, hahaha." Qin Chengye laughed.

Wang Xiao raised his hand to stroke the barrel of the cannon and nodded.

Qin Chengye said again: "In the first battle of Ningyuan back then, Inspector Li shelled the Eight Banners Army, and they were bloody and corpses piled up. Nurhachi was frustrated, ashamed of Ning Yuan's defeat, and was afraid of gangrene, and Fu Tian was punished!"

His voice was loud, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

After all, in the twenty years since the Great War of Ningyuan, there has never been such an exciting victory.

Wang Xiao did not answer, he carefully studied the artillery, and then turned his head to look into the city, only to see many ragged people in the distance huddled in the base of the wall to avoid the cold. To keep warm, they huddled together like a mass of rotting meat.

"This is supposed to be the cannon that Europe loaded warships with." Wang smiled: "Do the math, maybe more than 20 years ago, the British East India Company's 'Unipod' battleship was hit by a typhoon and sank in the waters of Guangdong. We salvaged these cannons and transported them to Ningyuan, so we had this victory. Is it? ”

Qin Chengye was stunned for a moment and nodded.

He didn't quite understand some of the strange words in Wang Xiao's words, but he didn't expect this young man to be so familiar with the old things back then.

"It seems that it is already a lot behind......"

Wang Xiao sighed, raised his hand and patted the barrel of the squatting cannon, as if patting a child's head.

Qin Chengye didn't know what he meant, so he didn't answer.

"Defending the city and using artillery is a tactic, but it cannot be relied on as a strategy." Wang smiled: "It's a good thing that Qin Zongrong can use this weapon well. But there are pros and cons to the utensils, this cannon is clumsy, can attack the city, can defend the city, but clumsy in the field. Remember, it's us who control it, not because it's confined to it. ”

Qin Chengye was stunned for a moment, and he didn't like Wang Xiao's tone very much.

This is obviously putting up the marquis's shelf to discipline himself.

What about the younger generation who said that he would marry Jin Lan with his grandson?

But Wang Xiao continued: "Since Huang Taiji has seen the power of artillery, in just over ten years, he has imitated the general's cannon and set up the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery battalion. His cannon was not used to defend the city, but to attack the fortifications. In the first battle of Songshan last year, he had already shelled our two cities of Tashan and Xingshan in turn. ”

At the same time, the spirit of the Eight Banners cavalry is undiminished, dominating the world. With the advantage of cavalry as the mainstay, supplemented by the might of artillery, advance and retreat freely, and sweep thousands of miles. Huang Taiji is good at learning, but he does not forget his own roots, and he is indeed a powerful opponent. ”

Qin Chengye was stunned again, and he was a little speechless.

He has been repeatedly defeated by Huang Taiji, and he is very afraid of him, but he is still unconvinced.

Now Wang Xiao casually pointed to a cannon, and in one sentence picked out the gap between the two of them with military cannons, which made Qin Chengye angry and speechless.

Dong Jihe, who was behind him, squinted his eyes and glanced at Wang Xiao deeply.

Over the years, there have been many people who regard Huang Taiji as an opponent, but some of these people show contempt with arrogance, and some show that he is too powerful with fear......

On the contrary, it was the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him, whose tone was plain, neither flattering nor belittling. On the facts, he dares to admit that his opponent is strong, and he also seriously analyzes where he is strong.

The tone is indifferent, as if he is commenting on the characters of an ancient book pertinently.

This attitude of speaking...... It's as if you're really someone's opponent.

"Wang Xiao, where did you get the confidence?" Dong Jihe thought secretly in his heart.

If he really asked this sentence, Wang Xiao might answer him: "History textbooks give me confidence." ”

But since he didn't ask, Dong Jihe could only speculate on his own.

Where a person's vision is set, his ambition is there.

Dong Jihe's judgment of the 'hero' in his heart resurfaced again.

Over there, Wang Xiao was still talking: "The way out of Jinzhou City depends not only on these red-clothed cannons, but also on 'people', you, me, and him ......."

He pointed his finger around, and finally pointed to the people in the base of the wall below, and said, "And them." ”

……

Wang Xiao didn't know what kind of impact his words had on Dong Jihe's ears.

He said casually, it was nothing more than hoping that Qin Chengye would make a decision as soon as possible and take Guan Ningtie to fight with the Eight Banners Army.

But Dong Jihe went through the twenty-four histories in his mind, outlining his words and deeds......

Of course, Wang Xiao is obviously far from the image in Dong Jihe's mind.

For example, when the next group went to the camp of Guanning Tieqi to watch the martial arts, Wang Xiao said "wow" very childishly.

Dong Ji said in his heart: "He's pretending to be crazy and stupid again......"

~~

In order to provide a training place for Guanning Tieqi stationed in the city, Qin Chengye demolished a large number of houses in Jinzhou City and expanded it into a vast horse farm, which stretched out to be extremely spectacular.

The forage for the horses was piled high like a wide wall, and the horse dung on the ground turned into dust, and the air was filled with the smell of dung, sweat, and blood......

Wang Xiao walked up to the platform, and what he saw was a huge war drum, half a room high. The strong man who beats the drum sits on a ladder, and the drum handle in his hand is like two war hammers.

Flags blaze fiercely in the air.

Qin Chengye snorted, and the sound of war drums exploded, deafening.

Then, a huge roar came from afar, and the earth seemed to vibrate.

Wang Xiao looked away, and saw a black line in the distance surging like a wave.

The sound of horses' hooves galloped like thunder, and it was very rhythmic.

The 30,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry were fully armed, and their armor shimmered in the sun, as if it was a stormy sea.

Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger......

Wang Xiao watched the momentum of destroying mountains and seas sweeping in, as if he wanted to destroy everything, and he was a little shocked in his heart.

At this moment, he only felt his own insignificance, and felt that he could not let himself lift his feet.

In the face of such momentum, Wang Xiao knew at this time that the battle formations he had experienced in the past were just small fights.

What is the third battalion of the Jingshi Division, Jizhen, and also their own Jinyi Guard, they are all like toddler dolls in front of them.

At just this glance, Wang Xiao has a huge attachment to this iron horse.

This power is heartwarming.

~~

On this day, Qin Chengye took Wang Xiao to look at his cannon, but he was deflated. But when he stood in front of Guan Ning Tieqi and gave orders to the men under his command, he was a tall and majestic existence like a mountain in Wang Xiao's eyes.

On this day, Meng Shuo's injuries had not yet healed, and he followed behind Wang Xiao and met Lin Shaoyuan, the general he had admired for a long time. Meng Shuo thought excitedly that he wanted to become the confidant of the Marquis of Huaiyuan. One day, like Lin Shaoyuan, he will be able to lead the iron cavalry to make contributions.
