Chapter 461: Bronze Pillar? (2nd Update)
There happened to be a carriage at the rear of the Shenji Battalion, which was carrying the barrel of the Shence General's cannon. Seeing the carriage that rushed directly over, Fu Cunxian's face changed greatly.
"Stop me."
Fu Cunshen lost his voice.
In fact, without waiting for Fu Cunxian's order, the soldiers in the rear of the Shenji Battalion reacted, and when they dodged, they took out the bows and arrows on their waists and shot at the two crazy horses.
In the scramble, many sharp arrows hit the two horses, but the speed of the carriage did not slow down.
Seeing that it was about to hit the carriage carrying the cannon of the Great General Shence, a team member hurriedly ordered, "Block it in formation, block it for me, don't let it crash into it!" β
As soon as the team gave the order, several soldiers armed with spears came to the back of the carriage, the tips of their spears forward, intending to block the carriage with their flesh and blood.
The sharp arrows did not wait for the two horses to die immediately, but they became mad, and the front hooves of the two horses soared into the air at the sight of the cold spears in front of them, but they still crashed into the front of the spears.
Puff puff!
As the spear pierced into the horse's body, the two horses that went crazy were still blocked, but the wheels of the carriage that was pulling the barrel of the cannon of the Great Admiral Shence were stuck in the cracks in the stones, and the whole carriage also tilted, and a black thing smashed directly into the ground.
Fortunately, it is inclined inside, otherwise it may roll directly into the ravine below.
Although the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion reacted quickly and blocked the thing that fell on the ground, and then many people lifted the carriage together and put the black thing on the carriage, but Zhu Youliang, who was observing from behind, saw the black thing clearly.
Not black, to be exact, but a pillar of emerald green?
It was clearly a columnar object, about a few feet long. As for the color, he naturally didn't think it was jadeite, and if it was like that, it would be copper.
Copper pillars?
Is such a nervous thing in the Shenji Battalion a copper pillar? What the heck? Do you want to throw this thing out with a trebuchet? Replacing stone with copper? That's too extravagant, isn't it?
Zhu Youliang didn't have time to think about it and left the position he was standing just now, because the Shenji Battalion was looking for the reason.
"There's nothing wrong with the stuff above, right?" Coming to the barrel that had fallen to the ground, Fu Cunxian asked.
"Returning to the commander, there is no major problem, it just fell down, and there was no damage." The team in charge hurriedly replied, the cold sweat on his head proving that he was also nervous.
"Check it out for me and see what's going on!"
Fu Cunxian glanced at the two crazy horses and the wounded soldier who had already taken in less air and more out of breath, and a trace of gloom appeared on his face.
He didn't think that the horse would suddenly go crazy, this winter, there were no disasters, and there were no beasts, what kind of stimulation could it be? Unless it's man-made!
Thinking of this, Fu Cunxian's eyes were a little ruthless when he looked at those merchants in the back, indicating that there were people with ulterior motives among these people.
"Yes!"
Immediately, more than a hundred soldiers came to these caravans that followed behind and began to investigate which caravan the carriage belonged to.
As for the groom in the carriage, he was already dead and couldn't die anymore, he hung up when the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were shooting arrows before, and when the carriage was blocked, the man had already become a hedgehog.
"Commander Qiqi, that carriage is a small caravan, and they don't know why the two horses in this carriage are going crazy." The team is reporting.
"A small caravan? Where are the caravans? Fu Cun asked.
"It is said to be a caravan from Fengxiang Mansion."
"Send someone to take them down, wait until they reach Xingyuan Mansion, and hand them over to Xingyuan Mansion Jinyiwei." Fu Cunxian ordered.
"Yes!"
The team was about to send someone to arrest him, but Fu Cunxian thought of something, so he stopped the other party, "Wait! β
"Commander!"
"Who are these caravans?" Fu Cun asked.
"There is a caravan of the Du clan, and there is also a caravan of the Ho clanγγγγγ There was a caravan that might be very interested, and the Zhu caravan was also behind. β
"The Zhu caravan?"
"Yes, it's Zhu Yourang's caravan, just behind."
Hearing Zhu Yourang, Fu Cunxian guessed a little, "Okay, there's no need to arrest that small caravan." Send someone to drive away the caravan behind, and it is strictly forbidden to get within one mile of the Shenji Camp, and there will be no forgiveness for violators! β
"Yes!"
"Zhu Yourang? Zhu Wen? Hehe! β
Thinking of the latter, Fu Cunxian showed an inexplicable smile on his face, and later, he would let Zhu Wen know how powerful the Shenji Battalion was.
The reason why the Shenji Battalion was transferred from Huazhou to Yangzhou next to Xingyuan Mansion was to surprise Zhu Wen.
Naturally, because of the muskets.
Since the muskets produced by the Ordnance Supervisor could already be used in actual combat, the Shenji Battalion was ready to eliminate the assault muskets and switch to a large number of muskets.
Huazhou is located on a major road, and there are many business trips, so it cannot be concealed, which is not conducive to training. That's why the Holy Lord transferred the Shenji Battalion to Yangzhou in Shannan West Road, where musket training was carried out.
Even if it is equipped with muskets, the Shenji Battalion will not eliminate cold weapons, and several cavalry will always exist as the escort force of the Shenji Battalion.
At present, the establishment of the Shenji Battalion has been simply adjusted, with a total of ten of them, divided into left, middle and right sedans.
The left compartment is the artillery compartment, which has three artillery capitals, one of which is the Shence General Artillery and two Shenji cannons, which is the fire support compartment of the entire Shenji battalion.
The middle compartment is the musket compartment, which has four muskets under its jurisdiction, which is the main force of the Shenji battalion.
The right compartment is the cavalry compartment, which has jurisdiction over the cavalry of two specialties.
In addition, there is also a pro-soldier capital directly under the Shenji Battalion.
This is the current composition of the Shenji Battalion.
As for the adjusted Shenji Cannon Capital, it was allocated to the Right Shence Army under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion to deal with the nomads in Hexi and the Western Regions.
And for a weapon like a commando, it is not good to attack, but it is suitable for defense, and the cost is extremely low. Li Ye is also planning to equip the assault rifle and the divine machine cannon on a small scale for the use of the forbidden army and the border army, and the Right Shence Army and the Right Shenwei Army are the beginning.
Unless there is a major change in these border places in Hexi, the imperial army will definitely not use troops to deal with Zhu Wen in a few years.
γγγγγγ
"The commander, Xingyuan Jinyiwei sent a secret report that the Shenji Battalion was attacked by the merchant Crazy Horse on the way to the south. The Zhu caravan is very suspicious! β
Chang'an, the Imperial City, the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard, Dong Lang, who was appointed as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard not long ago, came to Li Jian's side and reported.
"The Zhu caravan? I didn't expect them to be really thieves. Is this Zhu Yourang thinking about both ends of the first rat? I don't know if this kind of person is not a person on either side in the end! β
Regarding the Zhu family's caravan following the Shenji Battalion, Jinyiwei had already gotten the news, but he didn't expect the other party to really dare to act.
Is this tired of living?
