please make me king

Chapter 1226 Mistakes
Holding up the binoculars, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing at the unexpected progress in the city.

When Gao Yizhi heard that Zhang Shun was looking for "Western novelty objects", he wrote letters to Tang Ruowang, Jin Nige and other missionaries in search of related objects, and finally bought it from a man named Bo Jue in Jiangnan. This item was entrusted by Wang Zheng to deliver it to Zhang Shun.

Although the lens of this telescope is not as clear as in the previous life, and the magnification is not too high, but for Zhang Shun who often uses soldiers, it is still a rare treasure.

Through this treasure, which was only one or two hundred yuan in the previous life, Zhang Shun could easily see the battle situation in the city.

"That's right, Ji Longfeng is good at martial arts!" One hit ten, one kill seven, he is indeed a good player.

Don't think that personal bravery and courage are useless after the emergence of firearms. On the contrary, because we are in an era of alternating cold and hot, the requirements for personal bravery and courage are higher.

In fact, the problems faced by the army in this era are quite similar to Zhang Shun's previous life playing a game called "Horse & Blade: Fire and Sword".

If you don't wear heavy armor, you may be killed by arrows flying from nowhere.

And if you wear heavy armor, ordinary swords and arrows will hardly hurt you, but the bullets flying from nowhere still kill you.

Offensive is too defensive, this is the first time that such a terrible situation has appeared in armor for more than a thousand years.

And this also led to the Ming army beginning to develop in the direction of "heavy firearms and light armor". However, the result of this development will inevitably lead to a situation of strong firepower and weak hand-to-hand combat.

In fact, in order to target the Ming army with this characteristic, both the Eight Banners of Houjin and Zhang Shun's Rebel Army began to strengthen hand-to-hand combat intentionally or unintentionally.

Later Jin's strategy was to plunder a large number of young tribes such as the "savage Jurchen" and "Sauron tribe" in the north who were less civilized.

Soldiers from these tribes with a lower level of civilization have the characteristics of bravery and light death.They are often incorporated into the Eight Banners by Houjin, and given heavy armor to drive them into battle.

As for the rebel army, Zhang Shun also began to explore the formation of heavy armored soldiers. Among them, the newly formed Li Jiyu Department and the "Xiandeng Death Squad" led by Ji Longfeng this time are its representatives.

However, although heavy armor soldiers are called "dare to die", they are not "send to die". Soldiers must take adequate protection before they dare to fight to the death.

After the formation of Li Jiyu's heavy armor battalion, Zhang Shunhe found that the cold-forged fine armor already has a good protective ability. If it is put on a battle jacket compacted with cotton or silk fabrics, it can basically withstand most projectiles. .

This is also the reason why after Ji Longfeng ascended the city, he shot two arrows but seemed to be fine.

With excellent armor protection and the leadership of a strong general, it will be easy for the rebels to use tactics such as trapping and ascending first in the future.

Just when Zhang Shun was thinking about it, a cannon shot suddenly woke him up from his contemplation.

"Who is firing cannons indiscriminately!" Zhang Shun frowned when he heard the sound, and couldn't help saying angrily.

Military discipline is the first combat power. As an artilleryman, firing cannons indiscriminately without waiting for orders is subject to military law.

It was Sun Tongtong who understood it clearly, and quickly responded: "The cannon was not fired by the rebels, it was fired by the city!"

Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, and saw gunpowder smoke rising from the tower of Mingdemen, the south gate of Pingyang.

"This" before Zhang Shun understood what was going on, he heard the rumble of cannons, and the tower of Mingde Gate was filled with gunpowder smoke for a while.

"No, Ji Longfeng is in danger, and the Death Squad is in danger!" Zhang Shun's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed drastically.

Sun Chuanting, Zhang Tianlin and Zhang Rukui couldn't help beating their chests and feet, calling "it's broken".

Do you know why?

It turned out that after Ji Longfeng led two hundred daredevils to the city, he must first stabilize his footing, and then seize the city gate to let the rebel army enter the city to succeed.

Ji Longfeng attacked the city wall with his own bravery, and the next step was naturally to capture Mingde Gate, the south gate of Pingyang.

As a result, at this very moment, cannons rang out continuously from the tower of Mingde Gate. It was obvious that the Ming army was bombarding the rebels who dared to die.

Zhang Shun quickly picked up the "thousand-mile mirror", and suddenly he could see all kinds of things in the city.

I saw several rows of artillery protruding densely from the tower of Mingde Gate, shooting at Ji Longfeng and other daredevils coming from the city wall one by one.

On the city wall of Pingyang Mansion, there are women's walls and ultimatums in the horizontal direction to cover it, but the vertical direction is flat.

Although Ji Longfeng and other death squads were wearing heavy armor, they still couldn't withstand the artillery fire.

The Death Squad was suddenly attacked, and more than a dozen people were killed or injured immediately.

But the brave Ji Longfeng survived because he was a little slow when rushing towards the tower.

Ji Longfeng raised his head from the ground with great difficulty, his expression changed drastically, and he ran away without looking back.

Why do you?
It turned out that the tower on Mingde Gate was three stories high, and they were densely packed with artillery.

Although Ji Longfeng has good martial arts, but not indestructible, how can he resist it?

However, although his "lazy donkey rolls" is not very attractive, it is also practical.

Just as the rebels were retreating, the artillery on the tower of the Ming army rang out again and again, and he was only hit twice by stray bullets.

Once in the waist and eyes, and once in the back, there are battle jackets for cushioning, but it doesn't matter much.

Ji Longfeng climbed for more than twenty steps, and happened to see an enemy building, and quickly hid in it.

The enemy tower is a small watchtower built on the enemy's platform. Although it is not tall, it is stronger than it is and can cover the shotgun.

The other soldiers obviously also saw this, and hurried over to hide.

The soldiers who really couldn't escape went around the enemy building and hid behind the enemy building to avoid being injured by projectiles.

"Idiot, it's dangerous, get out of there!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but shouted anxiously as he watched anxiously from the bottom of the city.

It's just that the distance is too far, how can Ji Longfeng and others hear it?
"The standard-bearer listens to the order, quickly order the death squads in the city to withdraw from the enemy building!" Zhang Shun suddenly remembered something, and quickly ordered.

"What's going on, how can there be so many cannons suddenly in Pingyang Mansion!"

The rebel army's attack was extremely sudden and rapid, and Pingyang is not a military center. Where did all these artillery come from!

"His Royal Highness King Shun!" Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting smiled wryly when he heard the words, "This time it was Sun who was negligent and did not report to King Shun.!"

"When I was the governor of Shanxi, in order to fight against the rebels, I ordered Li Yi'ao, the deputy envoy of the sub-patrol in the east of the country, to cast [-] cannons and more than [-] sets of armor for use in the battalion in the future."

"Never... never thought that I would lose my official position and resign later. I have already given up on this matter. I never thought..."

Hearing the words, Zhang Shun wanted to cry, but couldn't help but said in a hurry: "Why didn't you make it elsewhere, you were born and made it in Pingyang City!"

"Prince Shun, please forgive me!" Sun Chuanting almost cried.

Although I made an order at the beginning, but according to the morality of the Ming Dynasty's ruling and opposition parties, how could it be implemented cleanly and neatly without anyone's supervision?
Sun Chuanting couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "King Shun didn't know that there were originally five iron smelting factories in Shanxi, and there were two in Pingyang Mansion."

"These two places are called Shanxi Fengguo Iron Smelting Institute and Shanxi Fuguo Iron Smelting Institute."

"The location of Fengguo Iron Smelting is one hundred and fifty miles east of Jizhou, and the location of Fuguo Iron Smelting is fifty miles east of Ningning."

"In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, it was set up and then abolished. It didn't last long."

"At the beginning, I thought this place was the first place where the rebels would attack, so I smelted and forged it nearby to avoid the trouble of transportation."

"The subordinates restarted the second iron smelting factory to make armor and cannons. Unexpectedly, there will be a catastrophe today, and I ask King Shun to punish me!"

punishment?What's the use of punishing Sun Chuanting at this time?

Not to mention that each was the master at the beginning, it was taken for granted, and there was no reason for punishment!
Ji Longfeng and the [-] daredevils under his command were selected from the two camps of Zhang Tianlin and Zhang Rukui. If they were all here today, the combat effectiveness of these two battalions would be greatly affected.

Zhang Shun had a sullen face and didn't speak. He just opened one eye and closed one eye, holding a binoculars and staring at the artillery on the tower.

I saw the "chi chi" sparks rising again, Ji Longfeng and the others were still hiding in the enemy building without moving.

I don't know if they will survive this time!
