Artillery is the top priority, at present, the new Jeju Heo Meng foundry, the production of mature or only two types of guns, after repeated improvements, the Lying Niu cannon has been increased and lengthened, firing iron sand scattered shells can kill and injure unarmored infantry and cavalry within 300 meters.

The eighty-pound cannon body needs three people to operate, and when marching, two people generally carry the cannon, which is quite acceptable, with an average of forty pounds of weight per person. The other person was carrying ammunition. When firing, one person is responsible for loading ammunition, one is responsible for launching, and one is responsible for logistics.

It turned out to be a bulk ammunition, the interval between firing is as long as three minutes, the practicability of plain field warfare is not strong, after improvement, the ammunition is wrapped in kraft paper, after the launch is completed, the chamber is quickly cleaned, and then the shell is loaded, the interval between firing is only one minute, and the battlefield survivability is greatly improved.

The Tiger Squat Cannon has a slender body and a larger weight, mainly firing solid iron eggs, and the firing distance of the Infantry Tiger Squat Cannon can reach an effective range of 500 meters, of course, the firing range of the Water Fighting Tiger Squat Cannon is longer.

There is no bottom on how the artillery should develop Liu Tang's psychology, and the artillery is set up with a scale of 1,000 people. It is equipped with 100 lying bull cannons, 100 tiger squat cannons, and 300 mules, which are responsible for carrying cannons, ammunition, and so on.

Although artillery has a very strong ability to attack fortifications, it cannot survive and needs to cooperate with pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, and archers. Each branch of the army has set up 500 people, plus the artillery has a total of 2,500 people, which is quite large-scale in the initial stage, after all, this requires a process, no one has ever brought so many soldiers, and it needs to be gradually adapted.

This large-scale recruitment of nearly 2,000 people, most of whom were recruited from the immigrant Zhuang Ding, after all, the treatment of soldiers was better, almost 300 people were recruited from among the locals, plus the locals recruited by the original Lu Fang, there were almost nearly 20 percent of the locals, which accelerated the integration of nationalities.

The cold wind is gradually warming, the snow is getting thinner and thinner, and some vigorous young grass can't wait to get out of the black soil and grow tenaciously.

At this time, it is often more difficult than the cold winter, especially the tribes that are mainly animal husbandry, reindeer, sheep, and other livestock who eat the hay of a winter, and at this time, they will rush to grab the grass as soon as they see it, which is very easy to cause dead animals.

On this day, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng led five hundred cavalry to patrol more than a dozen tribes in the territory, and they happened to meet a herdsman from one tribe. This herdsman was very miserable, everything in the tent was burned, the livestock were gone, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and when he saw Lu Fang and others coming, he immediately came to report and said: "The Tunu people have not changed their dead nature, and they have robbed us of more than 30 reindeer. ”

"Who did it?" Lu Fang asked.

The man said: "It's the Tunu bear." ”

The Tunu people are not all warlike, but they have a warlike leader, the Tunu Tiger and the Tunu Bear.

Lu Fang said: "Go back and call the warriors of your tribe, and go with me to the Tunu tribe to get the stolen livestock back." ”

"Okay, I'll call someone." On this characteristic, the grassland people paid attention to a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, and soon went back and called more than 50 warriors from the tribe, and followed the cavalry team of Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and others to the Tunu tribe with a variety of weapons. The Tunu tribe, consisting of nearly 9,000 people, did not all live together, but relied on the fertile water and grass along the Tunu River to graze cattle, sheep, reindeer, pigs, and occasionally hunt. The large and small ones are divided into more than a dozen villages.

Guo Sheng asked: "Is this Tunu person very powerful, why do you always rob other people's things." ”

Lu Fang sighed: "The habit here, the weak have no right to live, let alone livestock, daughters-in-law can rob them, after I came last year, I subdued more than a dozen tribes and set our rules, but the Tunu people have always relied on the strength of the soldiers and horses and refused to give in." ”

"I see, it seems that this Tunu tribe needs to be cleaned up hard to be honest." Guo Sheng said.

The team came to the territory of the Tunu tribe, and before they had gone far, they encountered the reindeer cavalry of the Tunu people, although there were only fifty or sixty horsemen, but they shouted with teeth and claws not to let Lu Fang and the others get any closer, holding bows and arrows and shouting blindly.

Lu Fang said: "The divine arm crossbow is ready." ”

The cavalry slowed down their horses and brought out their crossbows one by one. The Tunu people had already seen this powerful weapon, and where they dared to get close, they avoided the cavalry team from a distance, and several reindeer cavalry quickly went to the Tunu Tiger to report the news.

After receiving the report, Tunu Tiger and Tunu Bear quickly sounded the bull's horn, gathered nearly 2,000 tribal warriors, and blocked Lu Fang's front with a variety of weapons.

I haven't seen each other for months, and the hatred doesn't diminish in the slightest. Tunuhu said hatefully: "Lu Fang, don't think that I will be afraid of you when you come more people, let me tell you the truth, the black wolf tribe in the north has already targeted you, and sooner or later there will be no bones left for you to eat." ”

Lu Fang in the north has never been there, but I heard Yan Huaiyuan say that this black wolf is not a normal tribe, it is a tribe that makes a living by robbing and snatching, with nearly two thousand knights, you can imagine how terrible it is for two thousand ghost-like cavalry to come and go like the wind on the wide prairie.

Lu Fangdao: "Could it be that you Tunu Tiger colluded with the Black Wolf Tribe, one of you two is known as a tiger and the other is a bear, to collude with wolves, and it is not a shame to be ashamed." ”

The grassland people are thick-skinned, and they don't quite understand what Lu Fang meant.

Tunuhu said: "What are you bringing people to my territory for, hurry back and don't delay our grazing." ”

Lu Fang said: "Look at the tribe behind me, what good deeds did Tunu Bear just did, you ask him." ”

Tunu Bear did not hide it at all, and immediately said: "They are stupid, they don't rob whoever they rob." ”

Guo Sheng next to him was still a little uncomfortable with the logic of the weak and the strong on the grassland, and said: "Hurry up and return the livestock, otherwise you will look good." ”

Tunu Xiong saw that this was a new face, riding a good horse, holding a good-looking halberd, especially the white horse that Guo Sheng rode was very magical, and he moved his mind to snatch Guo Sheng's white horse, and immediately came out, shook the big knife in his hand, and screamed at Guo Sheng with a grunt.

Guo Sheng didn't understand what he said after listening to it for a long time, and asked Lu Fang: "Captain Lu, what did he say?" ”

Guo Sheng said: "He said that your white horse is very good, and he wants to kill you and rob your white horse." ”

Guo Sheng is not a good man and a woman, it would be good not to bully others, this Tunu bear who didn't know whether he was alive or dead actually wanted to rob Guo Sheng's horse, and immediately Guo Sheng said: "Let me fight him." ”

Lu Fang said: "Tunu Xiong has extraordinary martial arts, great strength, and be careful, he is the younger brother of the tribal chief, it is best to capture this person alive." ”

"Got it." Guo Sheng flew out on a white horse, and the war horse under the crotch of Tunu Bear also rushed up.

Guo Sheng is also a competitive person, obviously Lu Fang had already said just now that Tunu Xiong had great strength, but Fang Tian's halberd slammed into it, bang, the hand of the halberd and the big knife collided and was numb.

After more than a dozen rounds, Guo Sheng also felt that this Tunu bear was completely the way of playing learned in actual combat experience, far inferior to the martial arts learned by a famous master like Guo Sheng, after a long time, Guo Sheng figured out the tricks of Tunu Bear, and the halberd stabbed into the armpit of Tunu Bear like a dragon out of the hole, and if it was a real stabbing Tunu Bear, it would have hung up at that time, Guo Sheng changed the stab to shoot, and slapped the Tunu Bear off the horse with a snap. Without waiting for the Tunu Bear to get up, Guo Sheng went over and picked up the Tunu Bear, and put it in front of him, the white horse was really an abnormal miracle horse, carrying the two big men without any pressure. Tunu Bear scratched wildly, Guo Shenglun's fist hit the back of Tunu Bear's head, and Tunu Bear fainted.

When Tunuhu saw it, he was not happy, and what was it to capture my general, so he immediately waved his hand and wanted the whole army to charge.

I heard Lu Fang shout: "Tunu Tiger, do you want the Tunu tribe to perish?" ”

Tunuhu said: "You are alarmist, I have 2,000 warriors, and your 500 cavalry may not be able to take advantage of anything." ”

Lu Fang sneered: "Do you dare to look at my arrow array, if you see my arrow array, you decide to fight us to the end today, and never die, if you don't want to fight after watching the arrow array, let's sit down and talk about it." ”

When Tunuhu saw the power of Lu Fang's bow and arrow last winter, he naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, and immediately said: "Okay, but you have to change to an open place, this place is too narrow." ”

Immediately, the two sides found an open grassland, lined up, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng lined up with five hundred cavalry to stand, and the crossbow of the divine arm pointed obliquely into the sky, and put it.

With Lu Fang's order, there was a deafening sound, and five hundred bows and arrows flew over like locusts, poof, and shot to the grass more than 200 meters away. Not only Tunu Tiger, but the warriors of the Tunu tribe are also psychologically cool and cool, how to fight this battle, five hundred crossbow arrows can destroy two or three hundred people in one salvo, and the Tunu people will lose one-tenth of their strength at once. The range of the Tunu people's bow and arrow is only a few tens of meters, not to mention that the Tunu people rarely raise horses, mainly sheep and pigs, all of them are infantry, and the miscellaneous infantry is very clear about the consequences of the cavalry armed to the teeth.

Tunuhu waved his hand and said, "Return the reindeer you stole to them." He immediately asked his people to return the reindeer.

Lu Fang was not polite, and immediately handed over the reindeer returned to this small tribe. Lu Fang said: "You guys go back first." ”

The man said: "We are going to fight together. "Although there are few people in this small tribe, they are enough men, and if you do them a favor, they will sell your life to you.

Tunuhu said: "It's okay to negotiate, but I heard that you are coming, I want to meet your big head, if you are willing to negotiate peace, you will come here at noon tomorrow." ”

Lu Fang said: "Okay, Tunu Bear will return it to you today, but you have to remember my words and don't play tricks." ”

Lu Fang took the cavalry back and told Liu Tang about the matter, and Liu Tang said: "Pass the order and go to negotiate tomorrow." ”
