Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 964 Those who act are afraid of being controlled by others.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Streams of fire shot out from the slender iron pipes held by two soldiers. It was somewhat similar to the fireworks and fireballs of later generations, accompanied by the sounds of "呲 Liu" and "呲 Liu", but wherever the fire touched, it was A crowd of people fell on their backs, and the Murong soldiers who rushed over directly disrupted them, causing huge casualties and triggering a series of screams and wails.

Standing in the military formation, Bao Jingyan looked at the soldiers who were shooting continuously with a look of surprise and shock, especially when he saw two groups of soldiers lined up in four directions. After shooting continuously, Behind them, there were the same two rows, putting packages of objects into the slender iron pipes.

After the front row finished shooting, the people in this row immediately retreated to the rear, and the people in the second row behind stepped in, while the soldiers in the front row who had shot began to stuff things into the iron pipe with skillful and precise movements. Simple, just three times, five times and two times is enough.

However, among the retreating soldiers, there seemed to be some changes in the iron pipes in the hands of some people. Some things turned red, and some seemed to be cracked. A brand new iron pipe.

At this time, the soldiers in the second row have often fired once, and then they will retreat and hand over the front position to the original third row of soldiers.

So, in this constant alternation, the three teams of men and horses shot alternately, like a windmill constantly rotating, making the firelights never stop, and because there were rows of people, they were even more dense, and the firelights seemed to form a A wall is built to block all the enemy troops that are attacking. Often, many enemy troops are seen rushing over, and then with a flash of fire, they scream and fall down, unable to advance any further!

"This thing is indeed powerful!" Bao Jingyan looked at it with surprise on his face, and then focused his eyes on the iron pipe in the hands of the two soldiers. In fact, Bao Jingyan had noticed these things in the army these days. Something, but at that time, his main energy was attracted by those Pingxing cannons, so he did not notice this thing. He did not expect that it would explode with such lethality now.

This thing doesn't look complicated at all. It's completely black. Only the mouth of the tube is in the shape of a bowl, constantly spitting out tongues of fire. The part held by the soldiers is two wooden handles. The design is quite clever, although the whole thing is rough. However, the iron pipe was wrapped through a complete structure so that the soldiers' hands would not come into direct contact with the pipe surface.

Bao Jingyan could also figure out the intention behind this——

Just looking at the iron pipes that were replaced because they were red, and then looking at the flames that were constantly spurting out, you knew that when these things burst into flames, they would be forged by the scorching heat. If the wall of the pipes was exposed to high temperatures, it would definitely be touched directly by flesh and blood hands. It's not appropriate, so there must be barriers.

"It's really exquisite, it's really unbelievable, it doesn't look big, two people can control it, it's much smaller than the single-tipped cannon that can easily be taller than a few people, but its power is not weak at all, and it's easy to use Marching, put ten in one cart, and two horses can pull it, I was wondering why the Fujun brought ordinary mules and horses instead of cavalry, so there are such powerful weapons!"

While speaking, Bao Jingyan looked towards Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "This thing looks powerful, but it's too expensive. Besides, I originally kept it as the bottom of the box and planned to use it on Wang Jun. Now that I have left the border fortress, I will use it to deal with Murong's tribe. In order to suppress them in one fell swoop, frighten many tribes, and make them fearful, so that they can be stable for a few years. As long as you give me a few years, by then, neither the border tribes nor anyone else will be afraid of them. Well, didn't my husband advise me before, saying that these men and horses are too few to facilitate the expedition? In fact, these thousands of people are the limit of what I can bear. If there are more, Daijun's finances will collapse. "

After hearing these words, Bao Jingyan understood a little bit. He knew that in Chen Zhi's strategy, the next step was to recuperate and accumulate strength, but the prerequisite was that he could not be disturbed. It was obvious that this general who conquered the north would be a major force in the future. Hidden dangers are identified as many tribes in the North, so they do not hesitate to use such weapons with astonishing lethality to scare them away.Similarly, Bao Jingyan also realized that using this thing outside the Great Wall and outside the customs could hide the truth and secrets to a certain extent. Murong's Department would not fight this thing whether it was for the sake of face or practical considerations. The process and results are announced——

At this moment, Bao Jingyan also saw the general outcome of this battle, but he still had a worry and couldn't help but ask: "It's just that there are many ambitious people around here. When they first learned about Fujun's single-shooter cannon, they had many plans. If we knew that there was such a sharp weapon, wouldn't we have to intensify our efforts even more?"

After hearing this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile and said: "Sir, you are indeed a man of great wisdom. When you see something powerful, the first thing you think of is to take precautions and think deeply. But please let me go, sir. The structure of a single-shot cannon is simple." , It is difficult for others to imitate utensils with a single function, let alone these cannons and blunderbuss? These things cannot be made by just one or two craftsmen and drawings. They involve materials, formulas, ammunition, and craftsmanship. Even the heat, etc., are extremely complicated, and it takes more than a few people to do it. More than 20 workshops work together before and after the production. How can it be so simple for people to learn?"

"As for someone stealing it, there is no need to worry. This thing is just ordinary iron apart from the fire and projectiles. Instead, they have to come to me and ask for the projectiles before they can do it. But military strategists are not afraid of the enemy's weapons. They are afraid that they will be controlled by others. This grassland tribe is said to be extremely fierce. Why is it still difficult to be an opponent when the Central Plains is torn apart? It is because their weapons are controlled by the Central Plains..."

While the two were talking, the soldiers attacking from all sides had been severely frustrated. There were already signs of chaos. There seemed to be conflicts between the soldiers. The people at the front were no longer willing to sprint and turned to retreat, while the ones behind Some of the people also wanted to retreat, but there were also others who wanted to move forward, so due to the crowding in front and back, the queue immediately became chaotic.

This chaos was the beginning of the retreat. Even though Bao Jingyan had never led an army, in the past few days, watching Chen Zhi pursue Murong Ren, he had gained experience and knew that the siege was actually over.

Sure enough, when Chen Zhi saw this, he strode out quickly and said as he walked: "There seem to be many soldiers and horses around here, but in fact they are not many times as many as mine. Now that it is in chaos, the enemy cannot attack. Inside, the walls of Thorn City are Broken, outside, the troops retreat in chaos, Murong’s tribe has no choice!”

At this point, he suddenly stopped and said in a slightly low voice: "Sir, you and the others advised me that if I let Murong hold a grudge, there would be hidden dangers. In fact, to point out the key point, whether Murong or Xianbei, today If his clan still survives after being attacked by me, he will keep the grudge in his heart and pass it on from generation to generation. If there is an opportunity in the future, ambition and revenge will go hand in hand, and he will invade the Central Plains." After saying this, the person left quickly, leaving behind Bao Jingyan, who was shocked and uncertain, tasted these words and was secretly shocked.

Thinking of what Chen Zhi had said before, he was currently too weak to do anything, so he could only shock him first, and then compared the meaning of his words, he already had a guess.

"Then if it's within his power, what about General Zhengbei?"
