Chapter 89 Three thousand artillery pieces(1/2)
Hailong stretched out his arms. The soldiers of the Hailong Legion suddenly became quiet. "I think the generals of the various ministries have conveyed my meaning to you yesterday. I will reiterate now that the ten most brave warriors in the battle today will be rewarded by me personally. Warriors
From the day you joined the army, you were born to protect our beautiful homeland and our loved ones. Use your greatest courage to let the enemy know that our Zhao Song Kingdom is not easy to bully. The battle flag of the Sea Dragon Legion will always fly high in the
On the land of the motherland, fight for our ideal of defending our homeland!" Hai Long's high-pitched and agitated voice resounded in the ears of every soldier like the Nine Immortals Qin of Tianqin, infecting the hearts of everyone present.
"Fight for our ideal of defending our homeland -" The huge sound drowned out everything. All the soldiers stood up and raised their weapons high.
Zhao Feng stood next to Hai Long. He clearly felt the amazing charm exuded by Hai Long. Even his vicissitudes of life could not help but beat violently. He followed the soldiers and shouted slogans. Tian Qin looked at the whole body quietly.
Hai Long, who was full of commander-in-chief aura, couldn't help but feel calm in her heart. She had become accustomed to living with Hai Long. Now she really couldn't imagine what would happen if she chose to leave after failing to restore her appearance. What would she become without Hai Long? I'm afraid besides death.
There is no way out anymore.
Dust and smoke were rising in the distance. Zhao Feng's face changed and he said in a solemn voice. The messenger's first-level flag language. "A messenger standing beside him quickly took out two red flags. He stood at the top of the city and waved them quickly. His blood was boiling.
The Sea Dragon Legion soldiers had obviously been trained for a long time and moved quickly under the command of the flag. The heavy armored infantry at the front did not move. The cavalry on both sides did not move either. What changed were the 30,000 light armored soldiers guarding the wooden box.
The infantry quickly gathered around the wooden box and dismantled it. The original supply personnel immediately took the wooden box and returned to Rongyang City. Zhao Feng gave an order and the city gate was immediately closed. Faced with hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers.
Everyone became solemn.
Hai Long stared at the thing originally hidden in the wooden box with his eyes full of surprise, because it was clearly a shrunken artillery! It was exactly the same as he had imagined. Even after the wooden box at the back was opened,
The exposed conical cannonball was also the same as what I had imagined.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said, "How is it? Your Highness, this is the surprise I give you. After my experiments over the past few years, your original idea finally succeeded. I really admire you. After this improvement, not only did you save a lot of raw materials,
And the power has not been saved much. Finally, sharp weapons like artillery can be directly used in any plain battle. My official title as general is the land that your Majesty gave me after I developed the movable artillery. This is all given by you.
Ah! The shells of the three thousand movable artillery pieces are divided into two sections. The latter section boosts the previous section to attack the enemy. It is activated by a spring-compressed firing pin. Although a firing pin needs to be replaced every hundred times, no enemy can withstand the bombardment of hundreds of cannons.
Ah! A lot of our country's national strength has been spent on these treasures. These cannonballs alone have used up one-third of our country's annual gunpowder production. All the fine iron has been used to cast them. The only pity is that your shell ejected
We have not successfully developed the method. The power of the artillery shell explosion is too great. If it pops up, it is very likely to hurt our soldiers. But even without the pop-up function, it is enough. Whether it can succeed depends on today's battle. The second-level semaphore of the herald.
"
With the red flag waving, the lightly armored warriors began to load quickly, just as Hai Long loaded the ammunition that day. A thick cover was opened from the front to the back. Two soldiers lifted a shell and put it in. Then they closed the cover with three thousand muzzles.
Pointing slantingly, the sky was filled with a chilling air.
It was the first time Tian Qin saw such a strange thing as an artillery piece, and she couldn't help but pull up the stunned Hai Long and asked, "What is this?"
Hai Long came back to his senses and took a deep look at Zhao Feng and praised, "You are really a talent of Zhao Song State. Thank you for fulfilling my dream. Qin, just look at it. Although the other party has an army of 300,000 cavalry, I think they are afraid today."
Not many will make it back alive."
Zhao Feng took a red flag from the herald and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the honor of firing the first shot will be given to you. As long as you raise the flag high and then lower it to the enemy's camp, you will be baptized by it." Hai Long was a little excited.
He took the command flag and climbed to the top of the city again. Those were three thousand artillery pieces! Even he himself could not imagine the power they could produce if they were used simultaneously.
The cavalry of Yuanmeng Kingdom advanced neatly and quickly, and the dust and smoke proved that their elites were under the sunlight. Their shining armor shone like wild beasts and they were devouring Rongyang City. Tuochi had already reaffirmed his determination.
The battle must be successful today. Three thousand meters away from Rongyang City, the Yuanmeng cavalry slowed down and blocked more than 20 huge siege vehicles more than ten meters high from both sides. Pulled by the horses, they blocked the front.
The total number of archers and elite soldiers on each siege vehicle totaled more than 500 people. The total number of the first team responsible for siege exceeded 10,000 people. Tuochi also saw the Sea Dragon Legion detachment under the city.
But when he thought about it, the Sea Dragon Legion must rely on the crossbow machine at the city head to prepare to attack his formation after the crossbow machine showed its power, so he still chose the siege country to be in front. With the powerful crossbow on the siege vehicle, he could not only confront the opponent's crossbow arrows, but also
Bring a devastating blow to the opponent's army.
The enemy was getting closer. Zhao Feng told Hai Long that the power range of this movable artillery was about 2,500 meters. Seeing the enemy's steel torrent, Hai Long raised the flag in his hand high.
Zhao Feng's hands were clenched with excitement. It depends on whether the years of research can exert its due power. He said loudly, "Your Highness, the enemy has entered the shooting range."
The historic moment arrived. Hai Long's eyes lit up, he let go of the flag in his hand and suddenly waved it down like a streak of blood, shouting, "Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,..." Three thousand artillery pieces made a deafening roar at the same time. Three thousand firelights burst out. Such a huge scene made Hai Long's blood boil. All Zhao Song Kingdom
The soldiers' eyes were all focused on the enemy formation. They were waiting and waiting. This short moment seemed to have lasted a thousand years.
The hard work will not be in vain. The Yuanmeng army that had just rushed into the range was like blooming, releasing gorgeous fiery red flowers amidst the even greater roar.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,..." The front line of the entire Yuanmeng army has turned into a sea of fire. Those who they are proud of are attacking the city in the Three Thousand Gates.
Not one of the artillery salvos survived the first salvo. Before the Tuochi behind them had time to react, at least 50,000 cavalrymen, including the soldiers from the siege country, were destroyed by the terrifying attack power of 3,000 artillery pieces. They were originally
The powerful dense formation became the key to their lives. The entire battlefield was filled with smoke. No one, including those familiar with artillery in the Sea Dragon Legion, thought that the power of the artillery could be so powerful!
Tears of excitement and excitement flowed down Zhao Feng's face. He suddenly stood on the top of the city and grabbed the flag from the herald's hand. While waving it quickly, he shouted angrily, "You bastard. What are you doing? Hurry up and reload!"
After his reminder, the second shell was loaded in just ten seconds. Hai Long and Zhao Feng looked at each other and waved the command flags in their hands at the same time.
Roaring again, three thousand death meteors drew a beautiful parabola and rushed into the arms of the enemy again. Everyone's hearing was temporarily reduced a lot. In the large firelight, there was no resistance from the siege country in front. This bombardment was enough.
The attack took away nearly 70,000 lives of the Yuanmeng Kingdom's cavalry. Broken arms and limbs were flying all over the sky. More than half of the 300,000-strong army had been lost. This happened in just a few minutes! No one had time to react.
Zhao Feng drew his long sword and pointed it high into the sky and shouted, "Forward!" Guarded by 40,000 heavy armored infantry and 30,000 armored cavalry, the entire Sea Dragon Legion moved forward after filling the third shell. Following the order flag
Another 3,000 cannonballs shot through the sky. Fortunately, not all of the Yuanmeng cavalry were within range. This time, only 30,000 lives were taken away. But this was enough. The courage of the Yuanmeng people was already frightened and there was no use at all.
Tuo Chi ordered the remaining cavalry to turn around and retreat in panic. This was not a war at all, but a massacre! Before they met the enemy, half of them had already been swallowed up by the unknown bombing. They kept squeezing each other's original military appearance.
The neat cavalry of the Yuan and Meng Kingdom suddenly became extremely chaotic.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Feng immediately ordered the messenger to order all 40,000 heavy armored infantry and 30,000 artillery to retreat to the front of the city and 30,000 cavalry to attack.
Thirty thousand iron cavalry were divided into two groups and galloped at full speed in an instant like two giant blue dragons. They knew that the time had come to perform a meritorious service. Facing the extremely chaotic enemy, they were like steel knives. After a short gallop, they rushed directly into the enemy's camp.
In the camp, the standard equipment of the Sea Dragon Legion's cavalry is long-handled swords and bayonets. After they rushed into the enemy's camp, they shouted to the leader, "Fight for the ideal of defending your homeland!"
All the soldiers were excited and chanted the slogan taught to them by Hai Long: "Fight for the ideal of defending our homeland -" More than 30,000 voices were like a loud shout from one person's mouth.
The long-handled sword was raised high and slashed at the enemy's neck where the armor was weakest.
Although there are still more than 100,000 people in the Yuanmeng Kingdom, their momentum has been reduced. They just want to escape and cannot organize an effective counterattack. The iron cavalry of the Sea Dragon Legion are killing like tigers entering a herd of sheep.
A cold light flashed in Hai Long's eyes and he said in a deep voice, "To wipe out the enemy, General Zhao Feng needs to let the artillery regiment press forward in full, then pull back the cavalry and give them the final blow."
Zhao Feng glanced at Hai Long and said, "Your Highness, the enemy has begun to be defeated. Our artillery shells are very precious. If they cannot exert their full effect, it is better to use them as little as possible. After all, each artillery piece is only equipped with ten shells per artillery shell. Advanced collective
It’s all on the Bailiang Silver Sutra!”
Hai Long was stunned and then realized that artillery shells cost money. He shrugged helplessly and said, "Then let the cavalry chase them. After this battle, I am afraid that Yuanmeng Kingdom will no longer have the power to invade."
Zhao Feng stared deeply at the Sea Dragon Corps general who was charging from a distance and said, "I plan to wait for the enemy to retreat and then lead the Sea Dragons to gradually take back the city they occupied with stability. Therefore, our artillery shells are very precious now. Every one we use will be one less."
Although subsequent production is in full swing, the accuracy of artillery shell production is extremely high, so we cannot rush it. It will take half a month at the earliest to ship the first batch."
Hai Long smiled and said, "And one thing you must pay attention to is that the mobile artillery has been exposed. You must send heavy troops to guard it, and you will not be taken advantage of by the enemy."
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Your Highness, you can rest assured that these artillery pieces are the treasures in my heart, just like my own children, I will not let them be damaged even if I risk my life."
Hai Longtou said, "That's good. With babies like you, I don't need anything anymore. I will leave here tomorrow. What's wrong with you, Qin?" Hai Long poked Tian Qin, who was standing still, and looked at her with concern.
.
Tian Qin said with a long breath, "It's terrible. It turns out that ordinary people can make such powerful weapons. Long, can we be okay in the face of that kind of explosive force?"
Hai Long thought for a while and said, "Although the explosive power is strong, it is not a great threat to us unless all the explosive power is completely concentrated, otherwise it will not hurt us."
Tian Qin nodded and said, "But with this powerful weapon, ordinary people may be spared. Oh my god!" Tian Qin suddenly pulled Hai Long and Hai Long leaned his body sideways, and a black light swept past him silently.
It passed into the chest of a soldier behind him. The soldier's whole body was shaken and he didn't even let out a scream. He was so soft that he fell to the ground, including his hair, and completely turned into a puddle of black water. Hai Long took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but feel such a vicious attack.
This made him furious.
Zhao Feng was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat and shouted angrily, "Who is it?"
A gloomy voice sounded, "The person who wants your life." A black shadow rose into the sky and more than ten black rays of light covered Hai Long and Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was shocked and shouted in his heart, "Your Highness is a master of Yuanmeng Kingdom's Enshrinement Hall.
"
Hai Long snorted coldly, stretched out the Yanqing shield with his right hand, and suddenly appeared on his left arm. His body shook like an illusory border. More than ten black lights were blocked by him without causing a ripple.
Tian Qin floated up, the blood-red light containing the most evil energy was bright, and her right hand broke out from Hai Long's forbidden cloth, and she pulled it back violently. The black shadow couldn't resist it at all, and was captured by her. With a plop, she threw it down.
The shadow that fell to the ground had been completely restrained by Tian Qin.
Looking at the slender blood-red nails on Tian Qin's hand, Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel frightened. All the soldiers around him who saw the blood-red light all turned aside with pale faces.
Tian Qin's voice became extremely cold. The true nature of the Evil Ancestor appeared again and he flicked his fingers. The black shadow covering his cheeks had disappeared, revealing a somewhat pale middle-aged face. This person's appearance was extremely ordinary. If he were placed in a crowd, he would definitely
It was impossible to tell. Hai Long was about to ask for something but was stopped by Tian Qin. She took a step forward and looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Are you from the evil sect?"
The middle-aged man's whole body was trembling constantly under Tian Qin's huge mental pressure, without even the slightest thought of resistance, he hurriedly said, "I am from the evil sect. My name is Senior Meng Lie. You must be from the evil sect too. My master is the deputy sect leader of Crow Crow."
.Please spare your life for his sake."
Tian Qin said in a deep voice, "Who allowed you to participate in mortal affairs?"
Meng Lie looked at Tian Qin in panic and murmured, "The king of Yuanmeng Kingdom knew my master and he borrowed people from him, so I came to Yuanmeng Kingdom to serve as the master of the enshrinement hall."
Hai Long looked at his flickering eyes and snorted, "Qin, he's lying!"
Tian Qin nodded and said, "Crow definitely doesn't have the guts, and he won't put his energy on it. Meng Lie, if you bump into my hand today, you are unlucky." The murderous aura suddenly released and the blood-red light shone again. In this abnormality
In front of the powerful evil energy, Meng Yu was as weak as a fly and wailed, "Senior, have mercy on me! My master is indeed the deputy master of Crow."
Even if the crow dares to hurt my beloved, I will let him die without burial. Do you know who I am? I tell you that I am the evil ancestor." Before Hai Long could stop Tian Qin, his right hand suddenly grew longer. The red nails were deeply embedded.
It was inserted into Meng Lie's chest. Meng Lie's whole body trembled violently and red light suddenly emitted. His body and soul were completely refined by Tian Qin.
Hai Long clearly saw a trace of blood-devouring light flashing through Tian Qin's eyelids hidden behind the veil. He quickly put a palm on her shoulder and said softly, "Good wife. Be obedient."
