I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 333

Liu Wu was surprised.He already has an official rank, and he is also an official from the eighth rank.

Although he didn't have those Shanwen armors, he knew that Guochao's armor couldn't protect against arrows, he had to rely on silk underwear to defend against arrows.

But this new armor...

"Don't look! If the Xizhai's arrows can penetrate the armor of the workshop city, then Teacher Su will find a piece of tofu to crash him to death!"

"Don't talk about arrows, even knives and guns, there is no trace on the armor of my workshop city! Don't let this armor go in vain!"

"Remember, even if someone dies, the armor cannot be lost!"

This sentence was added by myself, anyway, it's a local turtle who has never seen the world, so feel free to bluff.

Anyway, His Royal Highness sent himself here, and he didn't intend to let the Western Army persist to the end... The armor must not be thrown to the Xixia people!
With armor like this I'm afraid of a bird?Liu Wu knew that the new armor was so powerful, so he wouldn't be ashamed of it.

Similarly, at this moment, the Western Army guarding Xiao Guan understood everything.

All of them straightened their waists and held their heads high, just facing the arrows of the Xixia people, shooting condescendingly at each other.

His Highness said that the country has no backbone, and the appearance of the Western Army just now seemed to have lost its spine, but at this time, it seems that the spine has returned.

The Xixia people were just playing. The cavalry sprinted quickly, and when they reached the point where an arrow was shot, they could control the horse with ease, and then shot arrows at the wall.

And so on and on.

Liu Wu didn't bend down anymore. Although his habit made him want to squat down several times, he was still clear-headed, so he wouldn't be frightened by this common trick. He followed the soldiers of the new army and just resisted.

From time to time, there are muffled humming sounds... It's normal, the armor of the workshop city is half an arm, and it is impossible to block the whole body.

Although the lower body was protected by short piles, there were still people who won the lottery on the arms and head... This is purely a matter of personal ability and luck.

Liu Wu looked at the commander of the new army...is he counting with his eyes closed?
"Elevation fifteen..."

Liu Wu heard those creaking things similar to trebuchets inside the closed wall...

"emission!"

Liu Wu looked again, and several ceramic pots flew past his head.

"Boom... Boom..."

Under the closed wall, those Xixia people galloped over again, how could they bother to draw their bows and arrows.

All the war horses neighed, kicked, and ran around uncontrollably amidst the explosion of gunpowder bombs...

Where each gunpowder bomb exploded, there were already three or four horses and knights lying in a pool of blood.

Is this the power of gunpowder bullets?

The Western Army has armor, sleeping bags, and compressed biscuits, but they have not been equipped with any firearms.

Therefore, even Liu Wu has never seen it, just heard about it.This time, he finally saw the power of gunpowder bullets... If he left all these equipment in Xiaoguan, he, Liu Wu, could hold the thief for a month...

"That's not right, this Xixia barbarian managed to control it like this?"

Liu Wu didn't understand, just a ceramic pot could kill three or four people from Xixia, why do you feel that the soldiers of the guard battalion are a little dissatisfied?
"Elevation 35... Once A is launched, the others are on standby!"

This gunpowder bomb floated very high, because it was fired a little far away, it really felt like it was floating...

"boom……"

This time no one was blown up, Liu Wu felt it was a waste.There is no need for this, it would be nice to wait until they get close to launch, such a long-distance launch will give them enough time to dodge.

Look at the place where the gunpowder bombs exploded below, the Xixia people controlled the horses, paced back and forth a few times, and once again put the team in order.

Liu Wu wanted to say more and more: What a waste!

"Messengers... go to Qinzhou quickly and report to His Highness the Crown Prince face to face, saying that the Xixia people have a way to deal with gunpowder bombs, and they should have carried out adaptive training for gunpowder bombs."

"After the gunpowder bomb explodes, the effect on the horse is weakened by about [-]%, and the damage caused by the gunpowder bomb to the horse disappears when it is five feet away."

Look at him, he just reported to His Highness the Crown Prince face-to-face... I haven't even seen Duke Jinglue!

But...does this need to be reported?five feet?Is it possible that once the gunpowder bomb is exploded, no grass will grow within five meters?
Liu Wu didn't understand, but seeing the solemn faces of the soldiers in the guard battalion, he felt that something serious must have happened.

Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince face to face... is pure bragging.

If he went in person, as a soldier of the guard battalion, Zhao Xi might really meet him. As for the new army... 10,000+, Zhao Xi didn't have the time to be close to the people.

Xiao Guan's information on gunpowder bombs is not the first, and I believe it will not be the last.

Although the gunpowder bombs were kept secret from Liaoxia, rumors must be indispensable.There are millions of people in Bianliang, and it is impossible to expect to screen out fine works.

The amount of gunpowder used in the folk is not, it is nothing more than a big firecracker, and the Xixia people can search for it.

"Your Highness, once the gunpowder bombs reduce their effect on the cavalry, the outcome of this battle will be unpredictable."

Han Jiang was not polite at all, without any ambiguity.

After understanding Zhao Xi's character, everyone knows how to communicate with His Highness the Crown Prince.

"How should I put it? It should be said that there are advantages and disadvantages. If the gunpowder bomb had the effect of making the Xixia people timid at the beginning, then the Xixia people would definitely stop this war and turn to the court for peace."

"The Xixia people seek peace...don't think about what decision the court will make. Then all the efforts this time will be in vain."

"The Xixia people consciously have a way to deal with gunpowder and bombs, so that they can boldly enter the country's territory and finally complete the strategic goal of encirclement and suppression."

"As for the weakening of the effect of gunpowder bullets...it's not that simple!"

Do you think Su Song is busy for nothing?
If the gunpowder bombs in the workshop city can be imitated by the people or the Liaoxia, then the craftsmen in the workshop city will be raised in vain.

Besides, Zhao Xi doesn't think victory or defeat depends entirely on firearms...

"Let's reply in a unified way. Tell the frontline commanders directly how the gunpowder bombs will affect the horses. They don't need to worry about it. They should strictly implement the military orders and fight according to the plan."

It's all the soldiers of the guard battalion who are supercilious. Who can tell the difference between the generals of the Western Army?
Therefore, Zhao Xi was not polite at all, and told them directly to do their job well and don't worry about it.

The arrogant ones are gone.

In this western expedition, with the help of firearms, the guard battalion and the new army were obviously a little bit adrift. They all didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and directly ignored their immediate superiors and rules, and passed information directly to the frontline headquarters.

I can't get used to this!

"In addition, regarding the conflict between the new army and the western army last time, this time the whole line will be notified."

"The soldiers of the guard battalion who are in charge of the new army in that capital will be fined three months' salary, and the soldiers of the new army who are in conflict will be fined one month's salary."

"And, from the first-line assault to the second-line reserve..."

Zhao Xi was cultivating the soldiers' sense of honor and pride, not for them to show off to their own people.

The Western Army was already envious of the new army's equipment, but now during the war, regardless of the overall situation, conflicts were caused by personal emotions... As a member of the new army, it was already wrong.

At this time, Zhao Xi needed to wake up the guard battalion, and even the entire new army, so that they could not forget the rules and regulations in wartime.
