Chapter Ninety-Two: To Worsen the Situation

As a result of this battle, the position of firearms in the Haw Par Army has been unprecedentedly solid. Everyone knows that on the battlefield, firearms are the best weapon to restrain the Tartar bow and arrow.

Therefore, as soon as the tiger and leopard army in the mushroom valley resumed training, Wei Zheng was the first to enter the position of the musket battalion.

The training of the musketeers was monotonous and hard, but when he learned that the musket battalion had been completely converted into a new type of fixed-charge arquebus built by the Haw Par Army themselves, he was still full of excitement and trained with the musketeers.

However, this mood was not maintained for even an hour, and it was broken by a message brought by Wang Feng.

Looking at Wang Feng with a solemn face in front of him, Wei Zheng frowned, and asked thoughtfully: "Is it the Tartar of the commander of Duo'er Roll......

Wang Feng nodded, and replied in a heavy tone: "General, your speculation last night was really not wrong...... The Tartar Fourteenth Belle Doll was not willing to be defeated, and after assembling the rout, it took only one day to rest and recuperate, and then he pounced on us again with more than 6,000 remnants. ”

"Now the army of Dolroll has moved to the first two miles of our position and set up camp. The only thing that is fortunate is that the army of Commander Dolroll did not immediately attack us, except for sending a guard post to us. ”

Wei Zheng nodded first, then shook his head again, and finally spoke: "It's not that Duo'er Roll doesn't want to attack us immediately, but he doesn't dare to attack us immediately. After all, they had just experienced a defeat and their morale was at its lowest. Even if he tried to do it, his men would not dare to attack us. ”

Wang Feng's solemn facial expression suddenly became relaxed, and he asked with a hint of puzzlement: "General, in this case, why is he so anxious to press us and set up camp directly in front of our position......

A strange sneer flashed at the corner of Wei Zheng's mouth and he replied loudly: "It's very simple, he is not willing to be defeated yesterday." As long as he doesn't withdraw from the battlefield, this battle is not over, and he won't lose if he rolls more......"

Speaking of this, a solemnity immediately appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

Facing Wang Feng, he continued: "As I expected, what must Duo'er be waiting for now? ”

"Reinforcements...... Could it be that you will wait for reinforcements ...... wait for reinforcements," Wang Feng exclaimed loudly.

With a solemn face, he said to Wei Zheng: "General, thousands of Tartars will have us to feel better, if the Tartars send reinforcements here, then the Tartars who are fighting against us will not break through 10,000 ......."

Facing Wang Feng's worried gaze at him, Wei Zheng shook his head and replied, "It can't be reinforcements." ”

"With a white flag in his hand, it is impossible to put too many troops against us. Besides, Dol is not a fool, he knows that with us in possession of explosives, no matter how many troops attack us, it will be fatal. ”

"In this case, there is only one option for Doer to roll, find a way to break our explosives bag......"

"Looking at the Tartars' army configuration, the only one who can break our explosives package is the artillery. And as far as I know, there happens to be an artillery unit in Doerroll's hands that is used to siege the city. ”

"As long as he rolls over to the artillery unit, if we do not have absolutely superior artillery to suppress it, our firearms unit will be suppressed by the Tartar artillery and will not be able to exert its due power."

"If you lose the advantage of the firearms unit, then the only advantage of the Tiger and Par Army against the Tartars will be gone."

Thinking of this, Wang Feng's face that had just relaxed became solemn again.

After Wei Zheng's face also flashed with a hint of worry, he ordered Wang Feng: "Go...... Let's go back to Command first...... In addition, the military advisor and Lao Zhao were also brought together to discuss and discuss......"

Zhou Shuyuan, who had a solemn face, just walked in front of Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng asked anxiously: "Strategist, do you know the situation...... What do you think about the fact that Dol rolled and set up camp in front of our position? ”

Zhou Shuyuan replied with a solemn face: "General, I agree with your judgment......"

"The cunning Dol must be waiting for his artillery. As soon as the artillery arrives, they will attack us......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuyuan's words changed sharply and he continued to speak: "However, before I solve the problem, I still have a big problem to report to the general, do you know...... If this problem is not solved, even if the Tartars do not bring in artillery, our firearms units will be useless and cannot be used. ”

Wei Zheng's already tightly knit brows, at this moment, the wrinkles are even deeper.

With a hint of bad premonition, he asked, "What's the problem?" So strict zhòng......"

"Gunpowder, we don't have much gunpowder in our hands......" Zhou Shuyuan replied in surprise.

Looking at Wei Zheng, who was opening his mouth in front of him because of shock, Zhou Shuyuan hurriedly explained: "General, our Tiger and Leopard Army does not have much gunpowder in stock, and if it is only used by firearms troops, it can definitely meet the needs. ”

"However, after consuming the entire three thousand catties of gunpowder after two consecutive ** packs, we don't have much gunpowder reserves in our hands."

"I just made a count when I came, and the remaining gunpowder in our hands is only more than 1,800 catties when it is full."

1,800 catties of gunpowder, according to the charge of the medium Franc machine, could only fire less than 4,000 shells.

In front of them, the Haw Par Army not only has medium-sized Franc artillery, as long as the battle starts, light Franc artillery, Tiger Zun artillery, and muskets...... will become a large consumer of gunpowder in the army......

According to the consumption of ordinary battles, 1,800 catties of gunpowder can only last for four days when a full battle is full.

As Zhou Shuyuan said, without gunpowder, even if the artillery could not be transferred, the Tiger and Par Army had to give up firearms, engage in close combat with the Tartars, and exchange human lives for human lives to fight with the Tartars.

In the case that the Tartars have an absolute superiority in troops, this kind of dispatch is undoubtedly fatal to the Tiger and Par Army.

Thinking of this, not only Wei Zheng, but also Wang Feng and Zhao Yun, who dared to come later, also showed a solemn expression from the heart.

For a while, the three of them looked at each other as if they had been discussed, and at the same time converged on Wei Zheng, hoping that the invincible Wei Zheng could come up with a way to help the tiger and leopard army survive the catastrophe in front of them.

"1,800 catties of gunpowder, if we fight to the death on the battlefield with the Tartars, whether the Tartars have transferred artillery or not, we are not opponents......" Wei Zheng, who had a solemn face, said to himself.

Zhou Shuyuan, a military advisor with a solemn face, then said: "If you can't fight hard, then there is only one way to go." However, how can we use 1,800 catties of gunpowder to force back the Tartars and force back Duo'er to roll? ”

"If Duo'er doesn't retreat, we who are sealed by the Tartars in the mushroom valley and the mountains will not be able to be replenished with gunpowder at all."
