Horse on the World

Chapter 969
Caressing the cold body of the Shenwei cannon, Qian Duo's happiness was beyond words, his eyes narrowed with a smile, looking at that appearance, he wished he could hug the Shenwei cannon and kiss him twice before he was willing.

Holding his waist knife, Le Buping looked at the black muzzles of dozens of Shenwei cannons, and said sadly: "Old Qian, if, if half a year ago, we had Shenwei cannons, then Tian Chong, Tian Chong would not have died! As long as we install Shenwei cannons in the loquat ditch, there will be thousands of troops, and he will be flattened."

Hearing Le Buping mention Tian Chong, Qian Duo's smile also disappeared, "Old Tian, ​​alas, damn it, I'm really unlucky. Buping, you can greet me these gunners, give me whatever you want, I can't do it at all. Neglect, besides!" Qian Duo was overjoyed, lowered his voice and said: "Find some smart people, follow these gunners, if you can steal some masters and learn some skills, I will reward you a lot!"

"Understood!" Le Buping nodded repeatedly.

On the other side, Chen Zeyue looked at the dozens of Shenwei cannons and dozens of carts of ammunition that had just been personally escorted by the Flying Eagle Brigade of the Overwatch Council, and said with some doubts: "Dean, why does this cannon look smaller than the ones assigned to the navy?" some?"

Qingfeng nodded, "General Chen can see very clearly that these cannons are indeed much smaller. The Shenwei cannons are powerful, but the only disadvantage is that they are too heavy and difficult to carry. This is why they were all equipped for sailors at first. The master craftsmen of an arsenal have been studying how to cast the army's easy-to-carry cannons. This is the first batch of samples. In Dingzhou, smaller ones have been trial-produced and are being tested. Maybe next year, they will be installed. The Shenwei cannons equipped by the navy weigh thousands of catties, but these cannons weigh only half of theirs, and the base of the cannons is no longer fixed. Instead, the cannons are equipped with wheels and recoil recoil devices. Now the Shenwei cannon can be pulled away when put on a horse, and can be used for battle when it is unmounted, so it is already possible to equip the army."

"Having the Shenwei cannon will make the war easier!" Chen Zeyue said: "Once a general offensive is launched next year, it will be devastating, and the Lord will rule the world just around the corner."

"You're right. This war has been going on for nearly ten years, and it should be over!" Qingfeng said, "This world should be peaceful."

In Donglin City, the guard Zhang Aizhen was sitting by the stove, talking softly with a person. This person turned out to be Zhang Aimin who should be far away in Minzhou City.

"Brother, what are you thinking? Luoyang is definitely going to lose this battle!" Zhang Aizhen said with a piece of white charcoal thrown into the brazier, looking at Zhang Aimin. "Do we in Minzhou really want to be buried with Luoyang?"

Zhang Aimin snorted, and said: "It's not the time yet! Don't look at Dingzhou's aggressiveness now, but Luoyang is not without the power to resist, Luoyang still has half of the country! Aizhen, we don't have many chips in our hands, we only have one bet If I miss the opportunity, the Zhang family in Minzhou will be lost forever. What's more, from the bottom of my heart, I still hope that Luoyang will win. After all, Li Qing in Dingzhou has fought us for many years, and the hatred between the two sides is as deep as the sea. It is not a last resort. At that time, I would never go to them."

"But big brother, if it is really a last resort, does the other party still care about us?" Zhang Aizhen said: "Although Suzhou Zhoutong has 20 troops in his hands, the Dingzhou Lutian Group, plus they still have that magical cannon , Zhou Tong is definitely not an opponent. But in Youyan, do you expect Xiang Ping to be able to withstand the coalition forces of Yang Yidao and Xiao Yuanshan? Brother, Xiao Yuanshan and Li Qing have no deeper hatred than us, and he has defected to Li Qing the same way, now Still in power?"

"Let's take a look first. We in Minzhou have been fully prepared in the past few years. It is not a problem to block the opponent. I am here in Donglin this time, but I am worried that you don't have the courage to fight decisively. Even if we want to surrender, we have to pay for it. OK, otherwise, how will we gain a foothold in the future?"

"If you really hurt Li Qing, will he allow us to surrender?"

"Li Qing is a person who wants to be in the world. He still has this kind of heart. He will respect you only if you hurt him. If you really surrender, he will despise you instead. You have to understand this."

"Yes, big brother!" Zhang Aizhen seemed to be convinced by Zhang Aimin.

"There will be no wars this winter, but you can't take it lightly. Chen Zeyue uses his troops cunningly, and he won't fight a big battle. Maybe he will harass him piecemeal. Although he doesn't care about the overall situation, he will take advantage of it. Not only will the president It will destroy the morale of the enemy, and it will also demoralize our soldiers."

"Don't worry, big brother, I won't make such a mistake, as long as he dares to come, I will definitely give him a blow in the head." Zhang Aizhen said confidently.

While the two brothers were talking, an officer from outside hurried in, "General Zhang, Zhangjiatun, ten miles outside Dongyang City, the outer defensive position found that the enemy troops are mobilizing frequently, and it seems that there is a possibility of attack."

"Who is the enemy commander on the opposite side of Zhangjiatun?"

"Dingzhou Tiger Camp, a lot of money!"

"Crazy Qian?" Zhang Aimin pondered for a while, "Come on, let's go and have a look!"

Going west about five miles out of Donglin City, there is a low hill covered with poplar forests. In this season, the leaves have already fallen, leaving only bare branches. Standing on this hill, the Zhangjiatun defense line in the distance can be seen It was clear at a glance that it was a defensive system group consisting of five small bastions and one big bastion. There was a sentry in each bastion, a total of more than [-] people, guarding the west gate of Donglin.

When Zhang Aimin, Zhang Aizhen and others climbed up the hill, they could already see that the Tiger Battalion had already set up an offensive lineup on the outskirts of the bastion. Although it was a little far away, they could still vaguely see the opponent's lineup. All out of the nest, the banner of the fierce tiger with its teeth and claws fluttering in the wind, is indescribably ferocious and terrifying.

"This doesn't sound like harassment, does it?" Zhang Aimin said hesitantly, "Could it be that the other party wants to force it?"

Zhang Aizhen said with a smile: "Crazy Qian thinks he is lucky, so let him run into trouble this time. Brother, speaking of it, this bastion is the first in Dingzhou. Letting them stumble on this can be regarded as the restoration of the sky net, and the retribution is not good. !"

Zhang Aimin shook his head, "Although Qian Duo is crazy, he is not a rude person. If you really want to talk about it, this person is a bit wise and stupid. Let's see, maybe this is a template for Chen Zeyue's winter campaign. If it succeeds, Chen Zeyue It will definitely start fighting elsewhere in this way."

In front of the Zhangjiatun formation, Qian Duo was triumphant. He rode his horse and walked in front of a row of Shenwei cannons. He said to the busy gunners: "Brothers, be more accurate and clean them up. Later, I will invite everyone to eat big fish and meat." Meal!"

The captain of the artillery team who commanded the artillery team smiled and said: "General Qian, you should dismount and lead the horse back, or plug the horse's ears. This cannon makes a lot of noise. Your horse has never seen such a battle. Stay for a while." Startled it!"

Qian Duo waved his hand disdainfully, "Go, go, my men have plugged their ears, and their horses are all tied up, but my horse is different, with pure blood, and I have never seen any kind of battlefield. Even if there is a thunderbolt from the sky, he will not have the slightest fear, don't worry, fire your cannon! Hey, why are you only going to fire one cannon?"

"General Qian, this gun is for testing the firing range. After firing this gun, the other guns will be able to adjust the firing angle and moment!"

"Okay, don't bother me anymore, let's do it, it's so cold, let's go back to eat meat and drink earlier when we're done!" Qian Duo said.

The artillery officer nodded, "Fire, fire!"

The body of the Shenwei cannon in the middle trembled, and suddenly fell back. A loud bang sounded in Zhangjiatun, and white smoke rose and filled the land for several feet.Although the ears were plugged, the expressions of the soldiers behind him changed drastically.

Among the white smoke, everyone heard a loud horse neighing, and then saw a war horse rushing out of the smoke like lightning, jumping and jumping all the way towards Zhangjiatun. , who is the commander Qian Duo who is not their commander dancing on the horse?
Qian Duo's proud horse of pure blood could not resist the sudden loud noise. Frightened, he didn't know the direction or listen to the control, and rushed towards Zhangjiatun.

Immediately, Qian Duo turned pale with fright, his own ears were buzzing at this moment, watching the horse gallop towards the enemy's fortress, he couldn't help but be dismayed. You can't shoot a hedgehog.Pulling the reins sharply, the horse's head was strangled high, but the horse was still galloping forward.

"I'm going!" Qian Duo looked at the bastion that was getting closer, gritted his teeth, and jumped off the galloping horse, followed the horse for a few steps, fell to the ground, and rolled on the spot , while rolling a dozen times, then turned over and got up, looked up, his face was pale, and he was already within the opponent's range.

He turned around, strode away, and ran back, looking back at his war horse while running, "You shit, I will definitely kill you and eat you when you come back!"

The Tiger Camp was only stunned for a moment, and immediately there were a dozen or so flying horses running towards Qianduo.

Fortunately, this loud noise not only startled Qian Duo, the Tiger Camp, but also the enemy troops on the bastion in the distance. The black projectile pierced the sky and hit the middle of a bastion heavily, causing the entire bastion to They all shook, and the soldiers above were dumbfounded. In the midst of horror, no one thought of shooting arrows at the frightened horse and knight on the horse below the city.

Behind the Tiger Camp, Chen Zeyue's face turned green when he saw Qian Duo running back in embarrassment.Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh, and Xia Xue and Qiuping behind Qingfeng laughed happily. Amidst the laughter, a cavalryman ran up to Qian Duo, stretched out his hand, grabbed Qian Duo, and Qian Duo flew up , landed on his horseback.

"Shenwei cannon!" Zhang Aimin and Zhang Aizhen's expressions changed drastically, and they blurted out.Although it was far away, the loud noise was still clearly heard.
