It was foggy at night, and the visibility was extremely low.

Generally speaking, neither side of the war will choose to start a war at this time.

But the newly defeated Tartars still spent the night in fear.

Early in the morning, the fog had not completely dissipated.

But the people who were unintentional to sleep had already gotten up and were ready to take advantage of this time to quietly withdraw their troops.

The little prince frowned slightly and got on his own war horse.

Looking at the army that was shrouded in dark clouds, he could only sigh helplessly.

The Tumu Fort Incident made them proud, but today he led the army to such a big defeat.

I have to escape in shame.

But fighting again will no longer work.

After all, they are not at the end of their journey, so it is better to retain their strength and avenge their today in the future.

"artillery......"

The little prince murmured: "When did this thing become so powerful..."

The generals on the side heard his murmuring and retorted: "The enemy's firepower is actually not too strong."

"At the beginning we were scared by them, and we broke through the past later."

"It's just that the circular formation they set up really makes our cavalry unable to move."

The little prince also remembered the circular formation he saw on the battlefield, and frowned even more.

"The cavalry cannot disperse the round formation, and it is even more undesirable to dismount and attack."

"We have to use cavalry to attract firepower and create opportunities for infantry..."

He has never been defeated so much since he went to the war, but the little prince is not an ordinary person either.

After a night, the shame of defeat was still there, but he had already adjusted it.

Instead, we began to summarize the reasons why the opponent defeated him this time.

In addition to the intelligence problems, there are also various new weapons used by the other party, which are also important reasons for his miserable defeat.

The little prince suddenly said: "The weapons they used this time are all those we have never seen before."

"There have not been much changes in the Ming Dynasty's weapons in the past few years."

"How come this weapon that we have never seen suddenly appears?"

"We have to go and ask the Han soldiers."

The subordinate nodded and said yes.

After the army was packed up, the little prince gave an order.

When I set off, I took the sack with me and thought that I could grab a lot of money this time, but the person who lost the sack could only leave in shame.

......

At this time, the Ming army camp.

Zhu Houzhao rewarded everyone and took out part of the good things carried in the supplies.

Although I can't drink alcohol, I'm so enthusiastic about the meals that are better than usual.

Although there were a large number of casualties, the joy of victory still lingers on my head.

But we can't be arrogant yet, because there is still a tough battle to fight the next day.

Zhu Houzhao also slept with everyone.

Although Liu Jin racked his brains to improve the environment for him.

However, the environment is inevitable and simple.

Zhu Houzhao didn't mind either and pointed at Liu Jin to clean the wound and apply medicine to Zhao Ce on the side.

Liu Jin looked at the wound on Zhao Ce's body and said "Ouch".

"The Marquis's injury..."

Some of the wounds of all sizes on Zhao Ce's back had scabbed, and some were still bleeding.

Moreover, there are many green and purple places, which are all damage caused by weapons to attack armor.

Zhao Ce rushed into the enemy camp twice, and he could come back with all his strength due to his brute force.

There is definitely no way to avoid injury.

However, Zhao Ce was wearing armor and basically suffered no fatal injuries.

In ancient times, soldiers wearing armor or not, as well as the quality of armor, had a huge impact on survival rate.

My brain was feverish due to war, and I was still excited and I basically didn’t feel any pain.

Now that he calmed down, Zhao Ce also felt that he was in a bad mood.

The muscles are overused and the hands are still weak.

The wound on his body also ached faintly, which made him unable to help but want to reach out to touch it.

Hearing Liu Jin's exclamation, Zhu Houzhao also came over to take a look.

"It's indeed a bit serious."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "I don't know if the other party will attack you tomorrow, why don't I send someone to send you back for treatment overnight tonight?"

The injuries on Zhao Ce were actually not too serious than most injured soldiers.

It just looks scary.

In Liu Jin's opinion, all the civil servants in the court were talking loudly.

But if you really have to play like real guns and live ammunition, you will be injured so seriously. You have never seen Liu Jin, who has been in the capital before.

So when Liu Jin saw it, he still exclaimed.

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "It's okay."

"Let's see what's going on tomorrow."

"Maybe the other party was stunned by us and thought he was trapped and would withdraw his troops tomorrow morning?"

Zhu Houzhao also said with a smile: "What you said is indeed possible."

"In one day, we defeated the enemy's attack twice in a row."

"No one dares to believe this if you say it."

"The other party must have been stunned by our attacks. I don't know if I can recover tomorrow."

When talking about the matter on the battlefield, Zhu Houzhao was extremely excited.

He sat next to Zhao Ce and took advantage of Liu Jin's chance to apply medicine to him and started talking to Zhao Ce again.

"The Fran cannon was used well this time, but there are still many shortcomings."

"This cannon mountain is too light and has a long range, but it has given up its stronger power."

"How do you think we can continue to improve?"

It has little power, and even if it can be fired continuously, it will definitely be insufficient to shock the cavalry.

This time, it was because the other party received the message at the beginning that their transport team only carried three cannons.

After the previous cannon was fired, the bullets were loaded and cooled for a long time.

But Fran cannons can be fired continuously, and the cooling time is much lower than that of previous cannons.

This also led to the enemy's miscalculation of their combat power and never expressed doubts about the information they received.

Although the Franco cannon has many advantages, its power has not been much improved.

The deterrent ability it can play is still limited.

Zhao Ce said: "General, I have already told you before."

"To improve power, you must work hard on steel."

"Only when our steel quality is improved can we bear the more intense pressure before the shell is launched."

“Steel lifting…”

Zhao Ce mentioned this issue before when he asked them to study weapons.

What he said at the time was that if steel needs to be greatly improved, they don’t have much solution now.

The copper content can only be increased to increase the ductility of cannon steel.

But this change is definitely not enough.

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "The Iron Smelting Bureau has no better way for the time being."

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Since the court has no choice, why not open up a wide range of opinions?"

"Just like a scientific research institute, there may be strange people among the people who can help us?"

"Besides, since the foreigners on the other side of the sea have already made the Franchise cannon, they must have other new weapons."

"Since we want to trade, why don't we send people to learn and communicate with them?"

Zhu Houzhao said in surprise: "This one can indeed be found!"

"Only by opening up a wide range of ideas can we brainstorm."

"People craftsmen may really be able to help."
