Artillery seems to be very important, and it is indeed very important, but the requirements for the gunners are quite high.

It's a pity that Chen Zhang has no experience in artillery, so he doesn't know how to adjust the angle of artillery, which also requires special manpower.

But it doesn't matter, you can practice if you really can't do it, there is a way that practice makes perfect, and you will be able to find the trick by playing a few more times.

Qian Ruxue's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this, this was a good thing for him, and she couldn't wait to say

"Really?"

"Absolutely"

Chen Zhang shrugged his shoulders.

Soon Qian Ruxue immediately transferred ten artillery pieces, and then asked the people below to carry out artillery attacks.

At first, everyone didn't know anything, so to speak, they were in a hurry, but after the first round of artillery bombardment went out, ten artillery pieces bombarded one after another.

In an instant, the sound shook the heavens and the earth.

But unfortunately, these guns either missed or hit crookedly, or they just didn't know where to hit.

Obviously, there are no dedicated gunners, and it is really difficult for the artillery to fight.

Chen Zhang rubbed his temples with a little headache, and now he understood why most of the artillery was placed on the city wall, in the final analysis, it was because it was too difficult to adjust the angle of the artillery.

Especially in the case where there is no counting nowadays, it is even more difficult to rely on the experience of the gunners.

Instead of this, it is better to put it directly on the city wall, adjust the angle of the artillery, and when the time comes, it can directly fill the artillery and attack

You don't even need to adjust the target, so it's the easiest way to save money.

But it is precisely because of this that the role of artillery is extremely low.

After all, only artillery that hits the enemy can be called artillery, and if it misses the enemy, it can only be called a waste of ammunition

"Mathematics, mathematics, sure enough, the end of everything is mathematics"

Chen Zhang regretted a little at this moment why he didn't study hard in the first place.

If you study hard, even if you can't shoot artillery now, as long as you know math and adjust the angle to calculate, you will definitely be able to shoot accurately.

But unfortunately, I am not bad at mathematics, but now I have basically returned it to the teacher.

After a few rounds of artillery impact, the destructive power was not there, but Dou Zhuang became extremely chaotic and frightened, and he could hear the chaos and panic inside Dou Zhuang from a distance.

"What is the math you just said, is it very powerful? You still have to know math to fight artillery?"

Chen Zhang rolled his eyes and looked at Zhao Dachun in front of him

"Math is very good, but if you want to learn it, I think it's better to forget it."

"Why"

Zhao Dachun's eyes lit up, and he slapped his chest violently

"If I could learn to fire artillery, no matter how difficult it was, I would have it"

"You know what? Anything in this world can be faked, only math can't."

"Because it will be will, and it won't be won't."

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhao Dachun.

With Zhao Dachun's IQ, it's not that Chen Zhang looks down on him, if he wants to learn mathematics, it would be more practical and effective to give him a knife to fight.

It seems that artillery alone is useless, and we have to find some people who can shoot artillery to teach.

Sure enough, tools are tools, whether they are artillery or gunpowder, but if there is no special person to operate it, it is just a dead thing after all. Far less useful than a knife or gun in your hand.

"This artillery is also the same as a musket, in addition to improving, the development of gunpowder must also be improved, otherwise the muzzle of this artillery will become impossible to fire again, and the use efficiency is too low."

The ten cannons began to get hot after two or three shots, and even some of them were so hot that people couldn't touch them, so they shook their heads when they saw it, this efficiency was too low.

"That's right, you must improve the gunpowder, and the best person to improve the gunpowder according to the lord is the Taoist priest, is it in the Qingfeng Taoist Temple?"

Qian Ruxue muttered to herself. she

Saw the power of artillery, as well as its shortcomings.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he thought about many people who made gunpowder, but he really didn't think that the person who made gunpowder would be a Taoist priest.

It's still understandable to think about it, after all, playing with these chemical things, according to Chen Zhang, Taoist priests are the first originators of fiddling with these chemical things, so these Taoist priests should know more about gunpowder than themselves

Thinking of this, she nodded and made up her mind, then she must go around to the Qingfeng Dao Hall, if there are really any Taoist priests who can refine and improve gunpowder, even if they use strong means, they must tie him to their hands.

Qian Ruxue was unconsciously and gradually infected by Chen Zhang, and became a rogue thinker.

In the past, Qian Ruxue still wanted to please, but now she just started robbing people if she didn't move.

After being appeased, Chen Cang breathed a long sigh of relief after Qian Ruxue"

No way, gunpowder is not something that ordinary people can play with, even if he knows some simple gunpowder recipes. But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to do it, and gunpowder is a dangerous thing, and if one of them is not operated properly, it explodes with a bang, and everyone will die.

Finally suppressed, Qian Ruxue wanted to study the gunpowder by herself, looked at the messy inversion in front of her, and after venting her emotions, she pulled the artillery back to its original place for cooling.

Chen Zhang immediately led the army to Ninghai County day and night,

In short, he is now going to quickly join the large army, and this time the basket he made is really a bit big, not only did he not die, but he made himself famous.

Huaxiang Village, located in a remote village in Northeast Road, here has been inaccessible for many years, and it is also twenty or thirty kilometers away from the nearest county seat, and has been living a life without fighting with the world, making work at sunset, resting at sunset, although the days are not much good, but at least food and clothing are not a problem.

In addition, there are various taxes from the government. Although there are a lot, the terrain of rural China is too remote, even the people in the government don't want to toss more here, and basically they can still get by.

But now the entire countryside of China is in the midst of slaughter, and the flames are soaring into the sky.

Zhao Ziheng rushed to rural China with more than 1,000 soldiers and stationed there.

Because it was a long-distance attack, there was naturally no supply or insufficient supply, so it was made of local materials, how could the villagers in Kehua rural be willing?

Originally, after paying the taxes, the family didn't have much money, but even so, the village chief trembled and gathered some grain and grass and sent it to Zhao Ziheng and other generals, hoping to appease him.

But he didn't admit that Zhao Ziheng's more than 1,000 people wanted a lot of food, and the village chief didn't give enough at all.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Ziheng instantly led the army into the village.

Originally, the intention was to grab some food, and he didn't want to kill people and set fires or anything, but he forgot what kind of urine the officers and soldiers were.

Even as a forbidden army, they also have the temperament of officers and soldiers, originally they ate well, drank well, and used well in the palace, but now in order to chase and kill Chen Zhang, they are ashamed of money, and they have traveled thousands of miles to set up an ambush here.

There wasn't enough food and grass in the first place, and even if it was a supply, it was just leftovers, and they couldn't get used to eating it at all.

There was already a fire in the belly, and he rushed into the village, and when he saw some grain or free-range chickens and ducks, he went to grab them.

Most of the villagers were so frightened that they didn't dare to resist, but there were always a few people who came out to rob them, and as a result, these forbidden soldiers were angry and angry, and the act of directly giving them to me completely angered the people in rural China.

The whole rural area of China is remote, and almost everyone is holding a group, and there is a way to help relatives and not to help, and it is more vividly displayed in the poor and remote areas of rural China.

The villagers were beaten and killed, so they were afraid that they rushed up directly."

After all, the sky is high here, the emperor is far away, if he really kills everyone and buries them in the ground, the ghost knows what kind of thing it is, even if he investigates the people in rural China, he will definitely not leak half a word.

This is the so-called imperial power does not go to the countryside.

In the feudal society, there was no way to implement the policies of many countries, because the imperial power could not go down to the grassroots level, and the so-called laws and so-called prosperous times were just some ridiculous words.

After Zhao Ziheng and the other forbidden troops were attacked, they instantly resisted.

Just kidding, they have no way to fight this rogue Chen Zhang. Are you still afraid of you villagers in the middle of nowhere?

Can't deal with the people above, can't deal with the people below you?

Between words. Instant kills.

For a time, Huaxiang was in a sea of fire, which was originally just a small-scale fierce fight, and then gradually evolved into a large-scale fierce fight.

The number of people in rural China was not large, and about four or five hundred people were stunned in the face of the forbidden army of nearly 1,000 people.

By the time Zhao Ziheng found out, the whole situation was already in chaos.

Faced with such a situation, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, waving his big hand

"Slaughter Village"

Only the remaining forbidden troops swarmed in and carried out a terrible massacre of rural China.

"Commander Zhao, after all, they are just ordinary villagers, wouldn't it be too much to do this?"

An adjutant walked over, and when he saw this scene in front of him, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes.

After all, they were ordinary people in the Dachang Empire

"Do you want this when I want? But if you don't kill them now, things will get even more troublesome. ”

Zhao Ziheng raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, with a cold look in his eyes

"Originally, I just wanted to collect some food, but the food that can be given in the countryside is not enough at all, if we can't get enough food, how can we ambush Chen Zhang, you know, Chen Zhang's force is known to everyone, they still have muskets, and artillery, frontal attack, we only have a dead end, the only way is to sneak attack."

Zhao Ziheng exhaled as he spoke, and his silver teeth were almost broken.

He really didn't expect that the Queen Mother would really agree to give the artillery to Liukou Chen Zhang, with firearms, with artillery Liukou car, its strength is definitely qualitative development.

Therefore, it is impossible to fight head-on, and the only way can only be to outwit, and only to carry out a sneak attack

The adjutant nodded

"We agree with this, but it's not too cruel to do it now?"

"There is no way to do that, if it is resolved peacefully, I also hope it, but you also know that Huaxiang has now had a disagreement with the forbidden army, and even started killing people. Since the murder has been made. If you want to hide this matter, you can't hide it at all, think about it, if these villagers go to the capital to complain, His Majesty the Emperor looks at it, do you think we can eat and walk around? ”

Zhao Ziheng raised his head, compared to the lives of these villagers in rural China, they were more concerned about their status and reputation.

I sighed at the thought of this

"If you want to blame these Diao people, they are not practical, if they are obedient and do not resist, such a thing will not happen, all this is their own fault"

"But there are five or six hundred people in the whole village, which is too many."

The adjutant gritted his teeth and whispered.

"There is no way, we must kill all of them, only if all the people in rural China are solved, then no one will know about this matter, even if we know, we can say that it was done by the rogue, and as long as Chen Zhang comes here, we will make his crime of massacring rural Hua public. Push this matter on him, and then people will not know it, and we will not have any problems. You can even gain a reputation for avenging the people."

"The most important. Since we have already offended, since we have killed someone, then we must do it to an end, otherwise let their people escape, even if only one escapes, in case we give a tip, our plan will all fail."

"There are some things that either you don't do, you have to do it to the end, and you have to do it absolutely"

Zhao Ziheng was handsome, but his words were full of coldness.

His words were simple, since the slaughter of the people had been done, then it was necessary to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

As for accountability, can't you just push it on the rogue when the time comes?

After all, now the Dachang Empire is in chaos, and there are rogues every day. As long as the above doesn't seriously investigate this matter, it will be hidden by him.

The adjutant gasped.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the army, and some champions, and even defeated troops, after losing the battle, burn and loot nearby villages for supplies, otherwise there would not be such a saying that officers and soldiers are more terrible than rogues.

Zhao Ziheng let out a long breath and looked at the adjutant and said word by word

"I know that you are from a military general's family, and you are not used to such things, but you must know that when you become a forbidden army, we all have to be responsible for ourselves, and we can't take our own money for the sake of these two ordinary people, this is absolutely dangerous and unreasonable."

The adjutant paused, looked at Zhao Ziheng, who was looking at him with dead eyes, let out a long breath, and nodded

"You're right, the people in rural China are all Diao people, they collude with the rogue to obstruct our army, and even want to ventilate the news, our forbidden army will kill them is above board, it is to eradicate the rogues, they deserve death."

There is a way that everyone carries the show, and the matter of buttoning the hat is simply accustomed to the forbidden army.
