"My lord, what is a drill?" Zhang Jianghe asked.

"Wait a minute, you'll understand. That's right, Commander Zhang! Do you think I'm handsome and beautiful? Long Dulu asked with a smile.

Zhang Jianghe glanced at Long Dulu carefully, and muttered in his heart that the general in front of him was thick, although he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his heroic posture was upright, but it seemed to be a little rougher.

At least, handsomeness can't be said.

However, he only dared to hide such thoughts in his heart. In front of him, this is the master who will pull out a gun and kill people at any time, he can't afford to provoke him!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency...... Naturally, they are handsome and beautiful! Zhang Jianghe's face was squeezed like a rotten persimmon, and he replied with a smile.

"Beauty." "You're beautiful!" The officers of Dafu Fort also patted their ass.

"Well, you're right! However, if we are beautiful, we can no longer think about beauty. "The dragon is a little proud.

Xindao, it's still an adult who said it well. If you don't move the thunder means, you can't show the bodhisattva's heart.

"Alright, the drill will start now." The dragon looked left and right, and it took a long time to find a target to attack.

"Which who? Commander Zhang, right? How far away is that big tree over there? Long asked as he pointed to a lone tree a mile away.

"Maybe a mile and a half." Zhang Jianghe weighed it.

"My lord, maybe it's more than that. It has to be two miles away, right? A Qian always in the back grabbed his head and said.

"Uh-huh!" A group of people estimated the distance, and they all guessed in their hearts what the dragon was going to do.

Long Dulu called a personal guard, pointed to the big tree and ordered, "San'er, you go to the artillery company to pass on my order to Wang Lianzheng!" Three cannons, give him three cannons! Knock down the big tree in front of Lao Tzu! ”

"Okay!" San'er turned around and ran towards the artillery company.

After waiting for the herald to leave, Long Duan looked at Zhang Jianghe with a long meaning, "Commander Zhang, brothers, three cannons!" Do you think three cannons can knock down that tree? ”

"This ......" Zhang Jianghe hesitated, but what he wanted to say was not spoken. The others frowned and tilted their heads, much the same as him.

"Haha, don't believe it, do you? Then watch! See in half an hour. Long Dulu laughed and said confidently.

As soon as Long Duan's words came out, all the people in Dafu Fort showed disbelief. If they were skeptical before, they don't believe it at all.

It's not that they haven't seen this Hongyi cannon, they are all familiar with it, there are more than a dozen of them on this Dafu Fort.

What is the accuracy of the Hongyi cannon? One shot out, not to say that it is a guide to hit the north, but also to fight east to the northeast.

As for three shots in half an hour, it is even more impossible! According to the practice of Dafubao, it is necessary to load gunpowder and press iron bullets, and a series of operations will take a quarter of an hour, to say the least.

Three shots in half an hour? It's very good to be able to shoot three times in a quarter of an hour.

"Chirp!" While they were waiting curiously, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came at once.

The cannonball landed a foot away from the tree at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and exploded on the grass with a thud, followed by a puff of green smoke.

"Hmph, sure enough. Didn't hit! "The people of Dafubao are secretly laughing in their hearts, this cowhide blows up, right?

On the side of the artillery company, Lian Zheng Wang Yundong was scolding, "Fat Dun'er, are you stupid to eat meat every day of the dog?" Every day, I brag in front of Lao Tzu where I am fighting, where is I fighting now? ”

Fat Dun'er: "Wang Lianzheng, don't scold first." is known as the god of artillery, isn't there also a time to release empty cannons? This one will definitely be able to kill it! ”

Fat Dun'er took a look at the binoculars, gave a thumbs up and gestured a few times, and then shouted to the assistant on the side, "The correction data is shifted to the left by one degree, and the front is adjusted by five degrees." Ready to launch! ”

The two artillery units were quickly adjusted and completed, "Report that the group is correct, and the adjustment is complete!" Request a launch! ”

"Launch!" Fat Dun'er waved the order flag, and sure enough, he gave the order to launch.

"Chirp!" The sound of shells breaking through the air after only twenty breaths was heard sharply again in the position of the artillery company, and a mortar shot into the sky.

Only a "boom" sound was heard, and the shell seemed to land accurately at the foot of the big tree as if it were a divine help, and it violently exploded a large earth pit and uprooted the big tree.

In this way, under the astonished eyes of the people of Dafubao, the big tree a mile away fell to the ground obliquely.

"Is it okay?" Long Dulu asked with a smile.

"Yes!" "Yes, yes!" "That's great! Zhang Jianghe and his gang nodded like chickens pecking rice.

The speed of this launch and the accuracy of the shelling completely exceeded their imagination......

However, the dragon still didn't let them go...... Not yet! Let's get closer. Gotta get them a few more shots! ”

Under the supervision of the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army, a group of people followed Long Dulu and others to the position of the artillery company.

"Report to the Dragon Chief! The artillery company successfully completed the mission, please instruct! Wang Lianzheng saluted and reported.

"Good!" Long Dulu nodded, pointed to the front row of artillery crews, and said, "Target!" Right front grove, the first platoon artillery group executes. Launch an artillery strike as fast as you can! ”

"Han supremacy, allegiance to the general!" After Wang Lianzheng gave a military salute, he immediately went to the first row to command.

"Isn't this a big cannon?" Zhang Jianghe saw the mortar for the first time and was amazed.

According to his idea, to be able to shoot such a long cannon, no matter how you say it, it must be close to a thousand catties. Unexpectedly, it was just a very simple steel cylinder and shelf, and Zhang Jianghe estimated that it would not exceed two hundred catties at most.

"Well, this cannon is not big, but it is powerful!" Long Dulu had been prepared for their performance of these earth spores.

"Well, this ......" Zhang Jianghe thought to himself, didn't they do something in advance?

For example, bury gunpowder under a tree in advance, and then ignite it there when the cannon is fired?

Not to mention, several people in this Jianghe and Dafubao are actually thinking like this. They were not simple people who could serve as generals in this frontier fort close to the Mongol Tatars.

"Here we go!" Regardless of what they thought, Long Dulu motioned for them to watch the artillery company's firing together.

"First row, all of them! Target the right front woods, adjust the gun distance! A command flag was waved, and the ten gun crews of the first platoon began to skillfully adjust the gun distance according to various parameters.

"Gun pitch adjustment complete!" Ten gun groups completed the adjustment of the gun range almost at the same time.

"First artillery group, test firing!" Zhang Lianzheng gave an order, and a cannonball fell into the grove with a "bang".

"Not bad, not bad!" Long nodded his head, very satisfied with the shot.

"The first row, all of them, covered shelling! Launch! Zhang Lianzheng gave the order again.

"Chirp, tweet, tweet......" Ten cannonballs shot up into the sky, and a series of sharp sounds of breaking the air tore through the empty field, and the sound was very poignant.

"Boom, boom, boom......", ten shells fell accurately into the grove, and with a puff of green smoke rising, some small trees were blown up to the ground.

"Reload! Free launch! "Under the command of Zhang Lianzheng, the ten artillery groups turned on the free firing mode, and the firing time of each artillery group was compressed to the shortest time.

The sound of shells and explosions began to intensify, and the poor grove was soon in shambles, littered with fallen tree poles and burning fires.

In less than half an hour, ten artillery groups fired hundreds of shells, directly erasing the original grove from the horizon.

"Stop shelling!" Seeing that it was almost over, Long Duan hurriedly ordered the end.

According to Ma Ju, one of these shells is worth more than ten taels of silver. These hundreds of pieces are gone, and thousands of taels of silver are gone!

"How? Ladies and gentlemen! Long Duan looked at the group of people in Dafu Fort condescendingly, and his face was full of smugness.

"Too ...... That's amazing! "Like a thunderbolt! Zhang Jianghe and the others were stunned, this cannon was too far and too fast!

You must know that at this time, the firing speed of the general Hongyi cannon takes at least a quarter of an hour to fire. And after five or six shots, you have to cool down with cold water.

However, this Dengzhou army does not have these procedures at all! It's like they're picking up stones from the ground and throwing them out, and they don't stop at all!

"Hmmm! This is the thunder of our Dengzhou Army. You say, can you afford to be bombed like this? Long asked patiently.

"Loyal Bo Tianwei! Small respect. Everything but let the general decide! Zhang Jianghe took the lead and led everyone to kneel.

"Hey ......! Brothers, what are you doing? Hurry up, please! Long Duanyu hurriedly signaled to help Zhang Jianghe and the others up.

When Zhang Jianghe stood up and looked at the direction of the grove again, the original dense woods turned white.

The woods were completely blown up!

The next thing went very smoothly, and with the full cooperation of Zhang Jianghe and a group of Dafubao generals, the Dengzhou army was completely stationed in Dafubao before it passed.

After arranging 3,000 men to defend the fort, Long Duan continued to lead the army to Daxing Fort on the second day.

In order not to cause unnecessary casualties and waste precious shells, Zhang Jianghe was taken to Daxingbao by Long Duan to be a lobbyist.

The commander of Daxingbao met the head of the Xingshan stagecoach garrison and listened to Zhang Jianghe's narration, and chose to cooperate very interestingly.

Once again, the Dengzhou army took over Daxingbao without blood.
