Chapter 66: I had to save it
It was as if the gods were angry and punished them, and when the three B-shaped rockets exploded on the battlefield, not only the steppe people who were hit hard, but even the Tang army hiding in the bunker was terrified!
"It's a rocket! It's the rocket of the Thunder Battalion! ”
"Yongxingbo has made a move!"
"He's cold, it's no wonder that those young masters and soldiers in the Thunder Camp are so bullish on weekdays, if I have such a ability, I must be more bullish than them!"
After months of getting along, and most of the junior officers had received relevant training, after the initial shock, the Tang troops on the battlefield cheered!
To Liang Baoyu's surprise, although the grassland people who saw the gunpowder explosion scene for the first time were scared to death, and even many of them knelt on the ground and told something to the sky, very few people escaped!
Are these guys so hateful? What kind of deep hatred does the Shuofang garrison have with them?
"Open the city gates, and the Thunder Battalion will conduct a plane shooting test!"
Liang Baoyu, who wore a hideous ghost mask on his face, ordered loudly, at this time, he had temporarily taken over the command authority on the city wall, but Xue Wanche, who was incomparable in the past, didn't dare to let go of a fart, and didn't even dare to look at the eyes under the mask, "Machine 10, machine 11, machine 12, load the B-shaped rocket, the elevation is seven, shoot in front!" ”
With Liang Baoyu's order, three rockets exploded on the battlefield again!
No matter how many tests were carried out in the past, there were not as many problems found in one test on the battlefield.
Two of the three rockets fired in the second round exploded directly above the crowd, and the Eight Bull Crossbow was originally designed to siege the city, and the arrows used were all made of pure iron, with strong kinetic energy, which could directly enter the thick arrows into the enemy's city walls, making it easy for the siege soldiers to climb.
As for its use in field warfare, it can play a similar effect to the flattening of anti-aircraft guns.
Rockets filled with gunpowder give up the effect of directly penetrating the enemy and causing damage, and rely on the power generated after the internal gunpowder is detonated to kill the enemy.
This change in the way of killing the enemy is by no means clear in a few words for the change in the requirements of the Eight Bull Crossbow.
Although detonating the rocket above the enemy's head is also quite effective, it has deviated from the intended purpose of building the rocket, and the relevant data has been recorded in detail by the excited Thunder Battalion sergeant, and the use of the rocket and the length of the lead will be improved in the later stage.
Tens of thousands of grassland people seemed to be extremely fierce, and they wanted to fight to the death without retreating, but in the end they were annihilated on the position of the Tang army.
Not to mention Liang Baoyu, even Xue Wanche, who had been stationed in Shuofang for a long time, couldn't understand why these people made the act of moths to the fire.
At present, Chai Shao led a large army to attack Xiangyang City, and the crazy actions of these grassland people made people have to worry about the safety of Chai Daguan.
Although Liang Baoyu cares about Chai Shao's life and death, he is not so bad that he will lose his mind, after all, the friendship between the two sides is only that Liang Baoyu once saved Chai Shao's life.
If Liang Baoyu is in danger, Chai Shao may try his best to save him because of this love, but at the moment, Liang Baoyu can't make the same choice.
It's just that when Chai Shao set off, the three thousand elites included two good brothers, Wei Chi Baolin and Cheng Chumo, and these two people must not die!
"Uncle Yongxing, all the captive's confessions are here...... Their claims are hard to believe. ”
Xue Wanche, who had woken up from the shock of witnessing the rocket explosion for the first time, showed the qualities that a battlefield warrior should have, "The brothers tortured dozens of people, all of them said the same thing, saying that there was a master who conveyed the order of the Immortal Heaven and let these people attack Shuofang City with their lives!" ”
Something is wrong, something is really wrong!
There was a strange aura everywhere in the whole siege incident, those steppe people from more than a dozen tribes, they charged through the snow, as if they had no intention of breaking through Shuofang City.
They used their own lives, including the lives of the old, weak, women and children in the tribe, just to let the Tang army stationed in Shuofang City show their strong strength!
If these people are obeying Jieli's orders, everything is easier to explain, it is nothing more than Chai Shao's sneak attack on Xiangyang City has been detected, and he wants to take advantage of the emptiness of the defense in Shuofang City to carry out a wave of counter-sneak attacks.
But what the hell is the guru?
After a closer look, Liang Baoyu fell into even greater doubts.
At this time, the beliefs in the steppe were extremely chaotic, and most of the areas were still in the initial stage of primitive worship, and the guru was a general term for those who pretended to be gods and ghosts and guided the herdsmen's beliefs.
These people don't even have a systematic belief organization, let alone belong to each other, and in the confessions of the captives, the guys who convey the orders of the Immortal Heaven are also different, and it is clear that there is the same person or organization behind the scenes!
"Is there any news from Chief Chai?"
"No news has come back, and we have lost contact with the Grand Administrator...... However, there was a military order from Li Jing. ”
"Li Jing? What did he say? ”
"Before the attack, Chief Chai informed Li Jing that the military order he had just received was...... Let me lead people to stick to Shuofang, and I will not be allowed to reinforce the Chai manager! ”
Things are getting more and more weird, even if Li Jing doesn't support Chai Shao's adventurous actions, he shouldn't give such an order.
Even if Li Jing can capture Jieli alive and win a great victory in the grassland war, and the suspicious Chai Shao dies, the great credit will not be worth such a loss!
Don't say whether the emperor will let him go, if it was because of his order that Chai Shao died on the grassland, the military and the Xungui group alone would not let him go!
Li Jing is a little unsympathetic, but not so stupid...... There must be a very important link missing!
"Brother Xue, now the supreme commander of Shuofang City is still the chief of Chai Shaochai, and the command authority of my Thunder Battalion is still in the hands of the chief of Chai, neither you nor Li Jing have the right to command my Thunder Battalion, right?"
The chaotic situation and the strange atmosphere made Liang Baoyu no longer care about carefully analyzing the truth.
"What do you want to do, eight? Brother, I really can't control you, at the moment, except for the chief manager of Chai, unless there is a military order from His Majesty or the Ministry of War, I can restrain you...... Do you want to ......"
"Please also ask Brother Xue to help me once, let the city prepare plows and dry food as soon as possible, and I will take the Thunder Battalion to Xiangyang City to pick up the chief manager!"
No, Liang Baoyu can't bear the result of Yu Chi Baolin dying on the grassland, even if it is Cheng Chumo, he has to save it.
"The Thunder Battalion listens to the order, sorts out the equipment with you, and goes to Xiangyang with this lord!"
