Balhu licked his lips and squinted his eyes, looking at the small hill opposite, and a gleam flashed in his eyes from time to time.

These damn sand thieves are really daring.

How dare you choose to ambush us in such a place.

It's a pity that you deserve to be there, you met our Thousand Mountains Army.

If you meet other armies, maybe you will win, but who will let you be unlucky?

The thought of being filled with a mouthful of sand in the desert today made him feel resentful.

In the afternoon he was sent out to intercept the enemy forces attacking from behind, and the battle was fought well.

With the cooperation of another group of hundreds, they were supposed to destroy the enemy army soon.

But the damn sandstorm arrived, and they didn't get it all right.

The sand thieves also took the opportunity to flee most of them, and what was even more infuriating was that he didn't have time to collect the loot.

The bodies of many sand thieves were taken away by their companions.

And without the corpse to testify, they can't go back to record military merits, which makes him very annoyed.

You must know that the head of an enemy has to be recorded in their own way.

And as you accumulate more and more military points, you will be able to exchange more and more things.

For example, if you accumulate 30 points, you can choose to retire at any time.

And he can get a good pension, which is said to be thirty silver dollars.

If you accumulate 50 points, then you can move up to the next level, not only get more money, but also get higher benefits.

If you accumulate 100 points, you will get a medal.

With this medal, when you retire in the future, you can participate in a free university held by the housekeeper and learn knowledge.

Then you can come out and become a civil servant and continue to work for the government.

If you can save two hundred points, it will be even more incredible, and you can get a Sky Medal.

With this medal, the family can be exempted from half of the family's taxes in the future.

And in many ways you can enjoy super high benefits.

It is precisely because of this series of military merit awards that the Qianshan Army, whether it is a soldier or an officer, is very eager to fight.

Because only by participating in the war and obtaining war merits can they get really high benefits.

Because the army is now very serious about the statistics of combat exploits.

If you are found out, you will be beheaded.

And if the crime is serious, not only will he be beheaded, but his family will also be implicated.

Therefore, the discipline of the Qianshan Army is very strict now, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, then go to the battlefield and perform well on the battlefield.

Therefore, Balhu cherished the opportunity of this westward expedition very much.

Because he knew whether he would be able to seal his wife and son in the future, he would watch it once.

He was very angry when he ran for nothing in the morning.

And at night, someone actually hit the muzzle of the gun, which made him very happy.

At this time, the second round of arrow rain had been sprinkled on the top of the bush by the gun carriage.

Sure enough, there were chickens flying and dogs jumping over there, and they screamed again and again.

And the sand thieves who were covered by these two rounds of arrow rain could no longer hide at this time.

A lot of people screamed and jumped out of the bushes.

With the sword in his hand, he rushed towards them at the foot of the mountain.

It's a pity that they were unlucky this time, and they really hit the iron plate.

Before rushing to the general, he was smashed by clay pots falling from the sky.

And when those clay pots fall to the ground, they explode immediately.

Sparks were scattered, but most of the sand thieves who stood within a five-meter radius around the clay pot were not immune.

People who are close to the core will be blown away by the shock wave from the explosion.

Those who were a little farther away were hit by the oil splashing from the fire pot.

Then a raging fire will quickly ignite on the body.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole person will turn into a torch......

The sand thieves had jumped out of the bushes for less than a minute and had rushed less than fifty meters.

was stunned halfway up the mountain by this round of extraterrestrial meteors.

Countless people turned into human-shaped torches, screaming and tumbling down the mountain.

However, as soon as he rolled to the front of the convoy, he was pinned to the ground by soldiers with a spear.

The soldiers who crucified the sand thieves shouted loudly.

Then he jumped out of the carriage and cut off the guy's head with a dagger at his waist.

This is also considered a military industry, yes, it is worth at least half a military point.

The soldiers like to pick up cheap in this way, but Balhu can't let go.

But just as everyone's eyes were on the hillside, suddenly there was a quacking noise behind them.

Everyone turned their heads to see that it was actually a hundred meters behind them.

In that sand dune, there was a constant arching of the ground at this moment, and it looked like the sand thieves were about to rush out from that side.

Seeing this, Grande immediately gave an order.

The rows of artillery carriages on the right hand side immediately turned the muzzle of the guns.

However, these artillery trucks are not those that shoot a rain of arrows.

These are catapult cars on the deck of the car, in a zigzag shape, with three elastic launchers on it.

The ones who just covered the halfway up the mountain with the burning @burn # bomb are them.

At this moment, the launchers, under the command of Grande, turned their muzzles.

In fact, it is very simple, that is, pull out the launch frame, and then insert it into different card slots on the car board.

Then turn the launch nest behind the slingshot and install it on the back of the launch rack.

Different from ordinary large slingshots, in order to ensure the accuracy of the launch, Yang Yinuan and Grande were transforming this kind of catapult.

Specially behind the Y-shaped catapult frame, a sliding launch nest was added.

When firing in this way, placing the shell in this launch nest can more accurately control the range of the projectile and the range of the projection.

Soon several canisters with fuses were placed in the launch nest.

The soldiers on either side of the catapult are holding a special tool that is stuck in the launch nest.

Snap the spring ribs on both sides onto the tool, and then use the lever principle to pull the tool backwards.

The spring is stretched out and stuck in the back slot.

The small flag officer in front, with a measuring tool in his hand, surveyed and mapped the design area in front.

After the measurement was completed, the little flag officer gave an order.

The shooter behind picked up the wooden hammer and smashed down the bamboo shoots, and the full spring was released.

The canister of fire oil in his pocket ejected out along the slide, and a series of flying fire meteors pierced the night sky......

At this time, the Thousand Mountains Army, although there were no cars, no tanks, planes, artillery, and even no heat@weapons.

But they skillfully used mechanical energy and started a modern mechanical war in advance......

The meteor pierced the night sky and slammed into the path of the tumbling dunes......
