Just a few breaths ago......

Compared with other soldiers, Jiang Yang thought more.

When the other single-tip cannons are roughly reversed the angle, and then relying on the large number of people below, they don't aim carefully at all, and they just let people out in one go, anyway, there are people below, don't worry about not being able to hit, even if it hits a relatively open place, the fire volley explodes, and the thistle terrestris can be sprinkled, and a few people can be pierced, even if they can't pierce people, they can also block the fast horses behind.

However, Jiang Yang was reluctant to operate so roughly, but wanted to try to find valuable targets.

Of course, if it was the one in the past, he only knew that he was facing the loess with his back to the sky, and he would never think more than what was in front of him, but because there was a king cow in the same village, the situation would be different.

When Wang Niu was in the village, he was famous for his laziness and disgust, and he never stood when he could lie down, and this habit was not changed even when he came to the Wuding camp, at most because the team owner urged him to deal with it a little.

However, I have to admit that Wang Niu still has some skills, especially the sharp-tongued one, so after that detachment, Jiang Xi and Jiang Yang were assigned to different teams, and they were still doing the work of soldiers, while Wang Niu was valued by Shangguan step by step, and he did more errands.

This is running around, getting acquainted with people at all levels, opening their horizons, and having changed their conversation, they have to find someone to show, Jiang Xi and Jiang Yang are the ideal goals, this coming and going has also changed Jiang Xi and Jiang Yang's knowledge, at least they know the preferences above, and they also know what is considered a meritorious act.

At this time on the battlefield, after withstanding the initial suffering, Jiang Yang's fear faded, and he saw that under the attack of these batteries, even if there were many enemy soldiers, it was just as difficult to resist.

It's just that with the expansion of the width of the battlefield, the fire fired by more than a dozen artillery platforms is a bit careless, and it is difficult to take care of the whole situation.

In fact, at this time, the single-tip cannon had already undergone two rounds of construction, and under the supervision of Gongchuan and others, there were many finished products, and there were many defective products, most of which were pulled over and placed on the city wall to prepare.

However, a part of it had to be divided, so that the city side was also equipped, and Daixian was not a small city, and the city wall was divided into several sides, so the trebuchet made had to be evenly distributed among several different city walls.

Not only were the guns separated, but even the fire that had been stored in advance was also dispersed to a few pence.

Jiang Yang's city wall is still because it is on the edge of the north gate, Chen Zhi estimated in advance that if the enemy army attacked, it was most likely to be a surprise attack from the north gate and the west gate, so the city wall of these two gates was the most fully prepared, and sure enough, this was confirmed at this time.

In fact, just now, the fire reserves of the other three city gates are moving to the north gate as much as possible, after all, he is fully prepared, and the time is still too little, these rounds of fire are flying out, and the "ammunition" prepared in advance has been consumed.

Now as soon as the battlefield opens, if you can hit this side, you can't hit that side, just like whack-a-mole, holding down this side, that side will pop up, making people suspect of being in a hurry.

And to add insult to injury, because it is the first time to use this kind of equipment, and the control is all newly recruited recruits, so there is not much discipline in command, and even those who are responsible for overall planning and coordination are themselves laymen, not to mention coordinated operations, and it is good not to interfere with each other.

As a result, as soon as the fire flies out, it is either too scattered and cannot play the role of a dense attack, or it is too dense, swarming towards the same place and repeatedly attacking, several batches of attacks before and after, repeating the damage.

As a result, the effectiveness of the weapon is greatly reduced.

However, because the design of the fire is comprehensive and ingenious, the lethality is there, and it is the first time in the world that such a ferocious device has appeared in the world, which makes many nomads afraid and dare not move forward, and it can be regarded as still being able to control the situation.

"Jiang Yang, the other cannons have been thrown four rounds, we only have two rounds, when will this third round be thrown?"

Jiang Yang could calm down, but the others in the same group as him were a little unbearable.

This single-tip cannon took more than 40 people to operate, and at this time, one person lifted it, and the others also echoed it, and immediately there was a chaotic sound, which disturbed Jiang Yang's irritability.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't make any noise, I know your thoughts, you still want to make meritorious contributions and kill more thieves, but what's the point of killing and injuring this group of nobodies, if you want to fight, shoot a big fish!" ”

"Where are the big fish?"

This person was still asking, and Jiang Yang was about to answer, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that at the edge of the battlefield, the cavalry that suddenly accelerated and exerted force was at the front, and there was a person's dress and momentum, which was completely different from others, and was surrounded by many red-robed cavalry!

"It's this person, just looking at it, it's definitely not simple!"

He was still thinking about it, but when he heard the sound of "collapse", a single-tip cannon not far away suddenly flicked the rope, and a fire hammer flew straight towards the extraordinary person!

"Not good! Let people get the first shot! ”

Jiang Yang was startled, and immediately beat his chest, feeling pity, but after a closer look, he saw that someone took the initiative to block the fire!

"There's still a chance! Someone is desperate to block it, which shows that this person's identity must be won! ”

As soon as the thought fell, he didn't care about telling the comrades around him in detail, he waved the rope, followed the people to move the cannon bag, shifted the angle, and after aiming as much as possible, he saw that the artillery platform on the side was moving again, so he didn't dare to delay, and quickly let go of his hand!

Tightly, he stared at the flying fire and clenched his fists.

The aiming of this catapult, similar to that of a bow and arrow, must have a parabola in the air, but it is also affected by factors such as wind speed and distance.

Sou!

The fire flew straight out, pinning Jiang Yang's hope, drew a wonderful parabola in the air, and finally smashed on the target!

Looking at it from Jiang Xi's angle, although it is not clear whether it is smashed on the head or on the mount under the crotch, because the back of the shackle will explode!

But either one, it was enough for the man to eat a pot.

Sure enough, after the hit, this obviously important person, like everyone else, fell off his horse with a scream, and the red-robed knights around him rushed over like crazy, desperately trying to help, and even knights took the cloak and robe on their bodies, and covered them regardless of it, trying to help the man extinguish the fire.

"It's done! You are all witnesses, let's shoot a big fish! ”

Jiang Yang laughed happily, turned his head and said such a sentence to his many comrades-in-arms who were still a little confused.

At the same time, in the center of the city wall, Chen Zhi, who was also drawing a bow and shooting arrows on the city wall with the soldiers, just shot a rider who was approaching off his horse with an arrow.

This kind of archery skill also made many soldiers look at this Taishou with admiration, and no longer regarded him simply as a high-ranking bureaucrat, and faintly admired him.

Not to mention, the fire that killed the enemy army and threw off his armor was also from the hands of this Taishou, so the reverence of the soldiers above and below the city wall for Chen Zhi was almost all expressed on their faces, and even condensed into substance!

Therefore, when Chen Zhi put down his bow and arrows, commanded several soldiers around him, and asked them to prepare broken stones, combined with stones coated with special oil, saltpeter, and sulfur, combined with heated iron cones, and smashed them down, rushing to the edge of the city wall sporadically, and the enemy troops who wanted to destroy the city gate and set up ladders screamed again and again, rolling on the spot one by one.

At this time, a somewhat anxious Ran Zhan came from the side, and said as he walked: "Taishou, the fire on this northern city wall is about to run out, when will I be able to catch up!" ”

"It's soon, I've already asked people to go over and carry it, I believe it's going to be there soon." Chen Zhi put down his bow and arrows and said lightly.

Ran Zhan said a little anxiously: "Taishou, the situation is not good now, the enemy army suddenly divided its troops, and suddenly opened a wide distance, especially those cavalry on the left flank, fierce and abnormal, to suppress this side, the enemy army that was blocked can't be controlled, is it from other city walls, and then mobilize some single-tip cannons?" ”

"I will convey the order, but you have to be mentally prepared, after all, this thing has to be moved, labor-intensive, and disassembled, complicated and time-consuming." Saying this, Chen Zhi suddenly became silent, thinking about whether it was time to use poison gas to fire, this thing was originally a hole card, the current situation seemed a little difficult, but in fact it was much better than he initially expected.

"I thought I was going to use the final hole cards, but now in this situation, in the worst-case scenario, it seems that using poison gas to fire is enough to calm the ......"

Just as Chen Zhi was thinking about when to officially give the order to put poison gas into the fire, and Ran Zhan was anxiously waiting for the other fires to arrive, a piece of news that surprised them was suddenly sent to the two of them-

"The enemy retreated suddenly, and in a hurry!"

Listening to the news that Chen reported coming, Chen Zhi squinted his eyes, turned his head and looked outside the city, he was standing at the head of the city and bending his bow and shooting arrows, but he also observed the situation on the battlefield, because of the arrival of Ran Zhan and was slightly distracted, but he also grasped the movement of the enemy, at this time, he saw that the cavalry team belonging to Duan Wenyang's family was retreating back in chaos, and he immediately understood.

He turned his head and ordered to Ran Zhan: "Don't supervise the battle here, go and take those 2,000 people, push the artillery cart, chase the enemy army for me, and take as many prisoners as possible!" There is a big shortage of manpower in the mines! ”

Ran Zhan was stunned, but he didn't ask much, turned around and went!
