Chapter 964: Those who do it may be controlled by others
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Flames erupted from the slender iron pipes erected by the two soldiers, some fireworks and fireballs similar to those of later generations, accompanied by the sound of "Woo Slip" and "Woo Slip", but wherever this fire went, it was a crowd of people on their backs, and those Murong soldiers who rushed over directly disturbed, causing huge casualties and arousing a series of screams and wails.
Standing in the middle of the military formation, Bao Jingyan looked at the soldiers who were constantly designing, with a look of surprise and shock, especially when he saw two groups of soldiers, lined up in four directions, and after shooting continuously, there were still two same rows behind them, putting bags of objects into the slender iron pipe.
After the first row of shots was finished, the men in this row immediately retreated to the rear, and the people in the second row behind went up, while the soldiers in the front row began to stuff things into the iron pipes.
However, among the soldiers who retreated, there were also people who seemed to have changed the iron pipes in their hands, some things were red, and some seemed to crack, but when these people signaled, the soldiers in charge of the baggage behind them would immediately hand over a brand new iron pipe.
At this time, often the soldiers in the second row have already shot once, so they retreat and hand over this front position to the original third row soldiers.
So, in such a continuous alternation, the three teams of men and horses shot alternately, like a windmill constantly turning, so that the firelight did not stop, and because it was a row of people, it was extremely dense, the firelight seemed to be built into a wall, blocking all the enemy troops who rushed over the wall, often seeing that many enemy troops rushed over, and then the firelight flashed, and they fell down screaming, and it was difficult to advance an inch!
"This thing is really powerful!" Looking at it, Bao Jingyan, who was full of surprise, focused his eyes on the iron pipe in the hands of the two soldiers, in fact, these days in the army, Bao Jingyan had already noticed these things, but at that time, his main energy was attracted by those Pingxing cannons, and he didn't notice it, but he didn't expect it to explode so lethal now.
This thing doesn't look complicated, the whole body is jet black, only in the mouth of the pipe into a bowl, constantly gushing tongues of fire, and the part that is erected by the soldier is two wooden handle shelves, the design is quite ingenious, although the overall rough, but through the complete structure, the iron pipe is wrapped, so that the soldier's hand will not be in direct contact with the pipe surface.
The intention of this, Bao Jingyan can also figure it out-
Just look at the iron pipes that have been replaced because of the redness, and then look at the flames that are constantly gushing, and you know that this thing will burst into flames, and it will be burned and forged, and the walls of the pipes will be hot and directly touched with flesh and blood, which must be inappropriate, so there must be a barrier.
"It's really a delicate thing, it's really incredible, it doesn't look big, two people can control it, it's much smaller than the single-tip cannon that is often a few people high, but the power is not weak at all, and it's easy to travel, ten put in a cart, two horses can pull, originally I still wondered, why did the prince bring ordinary mules and horses, instead of cavalry, it turned out to have such a sharp weapon!"
As he spoke, Bao Jingyan looked at Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "This thing looks powerful, but it costs too much money, and I originally kept it as the bottom of the pressure box, ready to use it on Wang Jun, and now I am out of the side plug and used it to deal with the Murong Ministry, or in order to suppress it in one fell swoop, deter many tribes, make them afraid, and stabilize it for a few years, as long as I give me a few years, whether it is the Xinjiang tribe here or anyone else, it is not to be afraid, didn't Mr. persuade me before, saying that these people are too few horses and horses to be inconvenient for conquest?" In fact, these few thousand people are already the limit of what I can bear, and any more of them will collapse the finances of Daijun. ”
Hearing this, Bao Jingyan understood a little, and knew that in Chen Zhi's strategy, the next step was to recuperate and accumulate strength, but the premise was not to be disturbed, and obviously, this general of the expedition to the north positioned a major hidden danger in the future as many tribes in the north, so he did not hesitate to use this kind of weapon with amazing lethality to deter it.
Similarly, Bao Jingyan also realized that the use of this object outside the plug and outside the customs can also hide the truth and secrets to a certain extent, and the Murong Ministry will not announce the process and results of this battle, whether it is from a face or a practical point of view-
At the moment, Bao Jingyan also saw the approximate result of this battle, but he still had a worry, and couldn't help asking: "It's just that there are many ambitious people around here, and when they first knew about the single cannon of the prince, they had a lot of plans, if they knew that there was such a sharp weapon, wouldn't it be even more intensified?" ”
Chen Zhi listened, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. is worthy of being a person with great wisdom, when he sees a thing, the first thing that comes to mind is to take precautions and think far-reachingly, but Mr. Please let go, such a simple structure and single function of the single-tip cannon, it is still difficult for others to copy, not to mention this cannon and gun?" These things can not be made by one or two craftsmen and drawings, which involve materials, formulas, ammunition, craftsmanship, and even heat, etc., all of which are extremely complicated, and it is impossible for a few people to make more than 20 workshops before and after the production, where is it so simple for people to learn? ”
"As for someone stealing, then there is no need to worry, this thing is separated from the heavenly fire, the projectile, that is, the iron, they have to come to me to ask for the projectile thing, but the people of the soldiers, in fact, are not afraid of the enemy's weapons, they are afraid that they will be controlled by others, this grassland tribe is logically fierce, why is it still difficult to be an opponent when the Central Plains is torn apart? It's because their weapons are subject to the Central Plains ......"
While the two were talking, the soldiers who attacked from all around, their offensive had been seriously frustrated, and there were already signs of confusion, there seemed to be a conflict between the soldiers, the people in the front were no longer willing to sprint, and turned backwards, while some of the people in the back also intended to retreat, but some wanted to move forward, so under the crowding before and after, the queue was immediately chaotic.
This chaos is the beginning of the retreat, even if Bao Jingyan has not led troops, but in the past few days, watching Chen Zhi pursue Murong Ren, he has also summed up his experience, and knows that the siege has actually been resolved.
Sure enough, when Chen Zhi saw this, he strode out, and said as he walked: "There are many soldiers and horses around here, in fact, they are not several times more than me, now that they are in chaos, the enemy cannot attack, inside, the city wall of Thorn City is broken, and outside, the soldiers and horses retreat in confusion, and the Murong Department has no choice!" ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, and said in a slightly low voice: "Sir, you and others persuade me, saying that if you let Murong hold a grudge, there will be hidden dangers, in fact, point out the key, Murong or Xianbei, today is attacked by me, if his clan still exists, then hold a grudge, pass it on from generation to generation, and if there is an opportunity in the future, ambition and revenge will be pursued at the same time, and the Central Plains will be invaded." After saying this, the person left quickly, leaving Bao Jingyan who was uncertain, savoring this words, secretly frightened.
Thinking of the past, Chen Zhi once said that the current strength is not enough, only deterrence first, and then comparing the meaning of the words, there is already a guess.
"Then if you can do it, what should this general do to conquer the north?"
