Chapter Fifty-Eight: Miserable
The Jiuli clan led by Xiling, in addition to the elite wizard group, also has five earthen cannons and eighty matching cannonballs.
The so-called earthen cannon is a bronze cannon barrel, plus a base and a bracket, if you want to launch dozens of catties of shells, you need to ignite the gunpowder that is loaded in advance at the end, and use the impact generated by the explosion as a driving force.
As for the shells, it is even simpler, with a mixture of nitrate grass ash and gunpowder, and the lead needs to be ignited in advance before firing.
The effective range is one mile, which is not as good as the Zhuge Repeater, but the killing area can be affected to a radius of ten meters, which is a very good siege weapon.
Originally, these heavy weapons were used to attack Mozhou City, but he never thought that all the 8,000 troops were folded in Suojiao Village, and these earthen cannons were captured by Jiang Feng before they could be used.
"It's a good harvest, a full 350,000 kill points. ”
Jiang Feng carefully counted several times and determined that the account currently had three hundred and fifty-thousand kill points.
The 8,000 people of Xiling died from Jiang Feng's tactics, and the head rightfully belonged to him, with an average of one Jiuli clan, worth 43.75 kill points.
Now that the war is tight, Jiang Feng is not stingy, and plans to exchange all the kill value for grain, grass and weapons.
Just the rice, noodles and dried meat were exchanged for a full thirty carts, which was enough for the whole family to eat for more than half a year.
After all, if you want to go south to support other tribes, you can't lack food and grass, because there is no backup.
As for the weight of weapons, the Frost Giants still used the Meteor Hammer they had purchased earlier, but Jiang Feng also equipped them with grenades and other throwing materials, and when they fought with Xiling, they showed a precise throwing level.
Suo Ji light cavalry, with a long saber instead of bronze spear, which is more in line with the characteristics of light cavalry rush combat.
At the same time, fifteen dreadnought chariots were purchased, the wheels were filled with sharp knives, and each vehicle was operated by three people at the same time, with the Suo Gang being responsible for the royal horses, the Longqiang being responsible for riding and shooting, and the Frost Giant holding a bronze spear for hand-to-hand combat.
In addition, there is also the main event, which is the Italian Mountain Cannon worth 150,000 kill points.
This mountain cannon originated from World War II, has a nice name called Miss France, and has an effective range of 16 miles, far exceeding the earthen cannon captured from Xilingna.
However, because the cannon body weighed 3,600 catties, it was very inconvenient to carry, so Jiang Feng was forced to disassemble it into countless parts, which were jointly transported by hundreds of frost giants.
"Your Highness, this big guy is too manpower-consuming, not to mention, we already have five complete earthen cannons. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that the shells were too expensive, I would have liked to show you on the spot, not to mention five earthen cannons, even if they were five hundred, they would not be as powerful as the Italian cannons. ”
A matching cannonball, priced at 18,888 kill points, Jiang Feng is reluctant to waste it.
"Really?" Chu He smacked his tongue, a little incredulous.
Five hundred earthen cannons are powerful enough to level a mountain.
"You'll know when the time comes. Jiang Feng didn't explain too much to Chu He, this thing, in a few words, could not clearly describe the power of the explosion, it could only be demonstrated through actual combat.
"Chu He, give me the map!"
Jiang Feng took the simple hand-drawn map and called Long Yun, "What kind of terrain is the western part of Yanzhou?"
"Plains. ”
"That means the hand-drawn map is the same as the terrain. ”
Jiang Feng quickly glanced at the map a few times, there were more than seventy tribes in the western plain of Yanzhou, there were only eleven tribes of more than five hundred people, and the rest were small tribes of two or three hundred people.
I'm afraid that before the Jiuli army has reached the front, they will all abandon their troops and flee.
"Your Highness, the sentry cavalry has been verified, the leader of the Jiuli West Road Expeditionary Army is called Xu Yi, the third warrior of the Chiyou tribe, according to rumors, this person is extravagant, and extremely cruel, often rape young girls, and then put them in a frying pan to eat after the incident. ”
As soon as Chu He said this, Lu Xia and Shuang Yi beside him couldn't help but tremble, and subconsciously covered their chests with their hands.
"Don't be afraid, after the expedition, you two will stay in my main camp, unless I die in battle, otherwise the Jiuli clan will never touch you. ”
"What about me?" Long Yun stared at Jiang Feng.
"Chu He said just now that Xu Yi is only interested in girls, so what does it have to do with you?" Jiang Feng took the opportunity to move his gaze to Long Yun's body and carefully swept it up and down.
A prairie woman in her early thirties, with light and slender jade legs, and a plump figure.
In a word, are still charming!
It couldn't be more suitable for Long Yun.
"Oh, the old lady doesn't need a man, on the battlefield, I have to protect you. Long Yun put his hands around his chest and glanced at Jiang Feng.
"Ahem, if you want to go on an expedition, you have to go early, I heard the report from the sentry horseman, in just half a day, thirteen tribes in the western part of Yanzhou have fallen, at this rate, within two or three days, Xu Yi will be able to clear the obstacles. ”
Chu He coughed a few times and tried to help Jiang Feng break the siege.
"Then kill the cow and slaughter the sheep, and sacrifice to the sky and go on the expedition!"
According to the traditional etiquette handed down by the grassland tribes, after worshipping the gods, tens of thousands of people were personally led by Jiang Feng and drove to the west of Yanzhou.
War in the era of cold weapons is far from being as easy as imagined.
Just by issuing a battle order, you have to run several miles on a sentry horse, which can easily delay the fighters.
Jiang Feng simply let Chu He and Xiang Yu lead the Suo Gang to open the way at the front, the Longqiang Clan, the Hinge Tribe, the Tubai Clan, the Artillery Array and the Dreadnought Charge Chariot were personally led by Jiang Feng, and Aloy led the Frost Giant to take charge of the rear of the palace.
During the exchange of war reports, the unified use of Ming Di arrows to issue code words.
"It seems that the war here is over, and it is too late for the tribe to be slaughtered. Long Yun looked around and couldn't help frowning.
Hundreds of naked corpses hung upside down from nearby tree trunks, with veins severed in many parts of their bodies, and a little bled to death.
Standing in front of them was a stove, with a large oil pot on the stove, and next to it were scattered bones, and on top of them were flesh and blood that had not been eaten.
"Don't lift the lid of the pot, bury it on the spot. ”
What is cooking in the pot? Jiang Feng already knew it.
"Cooking a girl, this kind of inhumane thing, only the animals of the Jiuli tribe can do it. The corners of Long Yun's mouth twitched.
Whoosh!
Overhead, two arrows rose into the air at the same time.
"There's a situation ahead, so let's hurry up and take a look. ”
When Jiang Feng arrived, hundreds of light horsemen were surrounding a dirt pit, and Chu He hurriedly greeted him and sighed: "Your Highness, they are helpless." ”
When Jiang Feng approached, he found that there were porcelain jars of various sizes in the pit, and only the head of the girl who was stuffed into the jar could be exposed.
"Save people, why are you stunned?"
"Your Highness, these girls have all had their hands and feet cut off, their eyes gouged out, and the inner wall of the porcelain jar filled with salt water, and once they are smashed open, they will die tragically on the spot. ”
Chu He's face was heavy, he had served as the deputy commander of the Black Feather Army for more than ten years, and had gone through hundreds of battles, but he had never seen such a bloody scene.
Everyone present, including Jiang Feng, was a little scared, war is not child's play......
