But it is said that some soldiers in Wang Zuo's army were originally border army archers, although there were fewer ordinary drills, but the foundation was still there, and now Zhang Tieniu took all the archers to follow Liu Renyu to the north to fight on the grassland, and there were no archers from the Jingbian Fort.

The trench 80 steps away from Jingbian Fort City, if it is only bombarded by medium-sized Furlong aircraft, the firepower is a little sparse, if it is attacked by firecrackers, at a distance of 80 steps, it is more difficult to hit than to ascend to the sky, and even if it can be hit, it will be because the distance is too far, resulting in the projectile has no lethality.

In this way, if you want to attack the enemy in front of the first trench, you still have to use archers, at this time, Li Jiye asked Wang Zuohang if he could let the archers who had changed to be firecrackers make a temporary cameo appearance as archers for a while.

Wang Zuojiao felt that this matter was not difficult, so he naturally agreed.

Therefore, Wang Zuojiao selected 300 soldiers who had drawn bows from his firearms, and equipped each of them with a one-stone strong bow and dozens of feathered arrows.

At a distance of 80 paces, in addition to the feather arrows of the Wang's left hanging department that can attack the enemy, the medium-sized Furlong machine of Li Jiye's department can also be used.

Since Liu Renyu planned to vigorously develop the charioteer, he began to introduce a large number of artillery and prepare to build an artillery unit.

Since you want to build artillery, you naturally have to add cannons first, there are three kinds of common artillery under the eyes of Daming, one is called the tiger squat cannon, that is, the large shotgun, this cannon is extremely common, and the price is not high, Liu Renyu got 60 people to belong to Li Jiye;

The second is called the Furlong machine, this gun is divided into small, medium, large three models, the small one is actually a heavy sniper rifle, not practical, Liu Renyu does not want, the large Jingbian Fort and other border towns do not need it, and the chariot can not be installed, so the medium-sized one is the most suitable for Jingbian Fort, Liu Renyu purchased 30;

The third is called the Hongyi cannon, this cannon is a military weapon, that is, the national important place of the Beijing Division, similar to a megacity like Xi'an, as well as the Liaodong front, this thing is very powerful, Jingbian Fort is not needed, so I didn't buy it (even if I want to buy it, it is difficult to buy).

Since this tiger squat cannon is a large shotgun, it can only be used by the enemy army near the city wall, so it is not used to deal with the enemy army 80 steps away from the city wall, and it can be used with a medium-sized furlong machine with an effective range of 2 miles.

Shen Yiyuan and others were once the border army of the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally knew this kind of cannon, and he led his men to stand three miles away from the city with the Mongols, in order to avoid the artillery fire of the defenders in the city.

The hapless people, who were carrying wooden ladders, broke away from the thieves' camp and walked for five minutes to the left of the first trench, and at this time, the defenders at the head of the city did not react.

"Just put the ladder down and we'll be able to go back." As soon as a man carrying a ladder finished saying this, 'knock, knock,' a huge roar sounded over the city, and the scorching projectile fired by the medium-sized Furlong machine slammed down on the man who spoke.

"Hey, why did the person next to him suddenly grow taller." The people were wondering when they suddenly felt a sharp pain from below.

He looked down, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and his heart hurt.

"Oh damn it, I was blown in half by the cannon." The people hissed and wailed a few words, and finally died of blood loss.

'Knock, knock, knock, knock,' the cannon at the head of the city continued to fire projectiles, and one after another scorching iron balls with huge kinetic energy rushed straight into the crowd of people.

As long as this iron ball hits the people, it will smash the people into pieces of flesh, or cut off the people's waists, or blow off the people's heads.

The flesh and blood of the people who had been smashed by the shells splashed over and hung on the bodies of the other people, and the other people screamed in horror.

The power of this artillery is too fierce, just two volleys down, it has already made the people fearful, so no matter how the rebels of the Shenyi Yuan Division who are supervising the battle behind shout and threaten, the people don't care, they just scream to themselves, drop the wooden ladder in their hands, and retreat like a tide.

Shen Yiyuan looked at the situation in front of him, sighed, and said to Gao Yingdeng, who was leading people to supervise the battle: "Yingdeng, the people have never seen the power of cannons, and now that they have eaten this heavy blow, they have already fallen into fear, so they don't need to attack again today, and camp out." Fight again tomorrow. ”

Gao Yingdeng looked at the people who looked like fierce tigers and fled frantically, so he could only nod and said: "What Brother Yiyuan said is that the people are only afraid that they will be scared stupid, and if they are forced to fight, they are only afraid that they will not be beautiful." ”

The defenders at the head of Jingbian Fort saw that the thieves had only fought a rendezvous and then collapsed like a tide, so they naturally cheered incessantly.

"Hahahaha, hang left, I don't think this thief is too useless, after eating my two shellings, he became a turtle and retracted it, but it's not enjoyable, it's not enjoyable."

Li Jiye trains day and night with his artillerymen on weekdays. No matter how good the artillery is, I haven't tried it on the battlefield, but now that I tried it with a knife, I defeated the enemy's front, and the artillery really hit it very accurately, so Li Jiye's face was very bright.

"Master Li, your artillery is comfortable, but our archers haven't even caught the chance to release their arrows, it's a pity, it's a pity." Wang Zuo sighed.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, the left and right thieves and the Mongols don't fight for a while today, and they will leave tomorrow, as long as they still come to attack, there will always be a chance for your archers to stretch their hands and feet." Li Jiye said with a smile.

"What Li Ye said is that next time if there are more people coming, my subordinates will always be able to get a chance to make a move. In fact, speaking of which, Master Li, your artillery fought well, but there is one thing that I am afraid of not being beautiful. Wang Zuohang sighed again.

"What's not beautiful?" Li Jiye wondered.

"Your Li Ye's artillery hit the shells and smashed the heads of the northern captives, how can you still credit the merit according to the head?" Wang Zuohang said with a smile.

"That's also a helpless thing, cannonballs are different from bows and arrows, it doesn't have long eyes, but you can't expect it to pierce the yang in a hundred steps, specialize in killing, and can't break people's heads." Li Jiye replied.

"What Li Ye said is that I'm just talking casually. By the way, Master Li, do you know if you have sent a messenger to report to General Liu. Wang Zuohang asked.

"Sent, I sent Wang Xuewu. Damn, we originally relied on this fortified city to resist this group of enemy troops, but looking at the heads of so many northern captives outside the city, I was very hot-eyed. If the general returns to Jingbian Fort with other elite soldiers of our army, we can not only defend the city, but also go out of the city to pursue, cut off some northern captives, and earn a military merit. Li Jiye replied.

"Li Ye is right, I looked at the northern captives outside the city and my eyes were also hot, so I waited for the general to come back."

"Well, before the general comes back, we have to defend Jingbian Fort first." Li Jiye said solemnly.
