Despite this, knowing that he was bound to die, Zhong Mu still rushed to Daliang City, where his family lived. If he could not return with his army, not only would he die, but Proton's family members who stayed in Daliang City would also die.
"Commander General, something bad has happened." An Hong came running from a distance wearing a suit of armor. At this time, he didn't know where his helmet was thrown, and his hair was scattered, giving people a very embarrassed look.
"Why panic? How many soldiers and horses have been gathered." When a person knows that he will definitely die, he will not be so afraid. This is the case with Zhong Mu now.
"Commander General, run quickly. The Jizhou Army cavalry is chasing us. The troops we just assembled have been scattered, and many people have surrendered." An Hong ran to Zhong Mu's side, panting.
"Ah!" Although he was already prepared for defeat, when he heard the Jizhou cavalry coming to cover up the enemy, he couldn't help but screamed. This was not giving him a way to survive, not just letting his soldiers
If he fails, he will even leave his life here.
Thinking of what would happen if the infantry met the cavalry without any preparation and no morale, Zhong Mu didn't dare to think about it. The only thing left was one word - run.
The faster you run, the better, and the farther you run, the better. In short, you can't be caught up by the Jizhou cavalry, otherwise, your family's lives will be at risk.
In no mood to assemble the army, Zhong Mu turned around and ran away with only dozens of soldiers. At this time, the responsibilities of the general soldier had long been forgotten in his mind. How to say that sentence, not
If we don’t try our best, the Communist Army is really too powerful and too cunning.
The generals fled desperately, without a leader. Although some small generals found their troops, they could no longer achieve anything. They could only be hunted to death or surrender on their knees. When the situation was over,
The backbone of the Liaozhou Army was gone, and there were scenes of surrender on the battlefield.
...
On the sea, fourteen warships flying the black dragon's two-claw flag were swimming on the sea.
Brigadier Feng Wanli stood on the bow of the largest warship with a capacity of 2,000 materials, looking into the distance with a strong murderous aura in his eyes.
Not long ago, a merchant ship belonging to the Jizhou Army was hijacked by the Japanese on the sea. In addition to the two good sailors who escaped and came back to report, it included goods worth three million silver and hundreds of thousands of people on board.
All the people were killed.
The Japanese could not defeat the Jizhou Army on land, so they chose to take action at sea. This angered Feng Wanli, the brigade commander of the Quartet Army. After discussing with the Chief of Staff Guan Zhi, he sent someone to report the news to Tang Ao, while taking
The fourteen warships that had just been built were heading towards the sea.
This is to try your luck to see if you can encounter Japanese warships and take revenge. It is also a patrol exercise at sea. Even if you want to establish a navy, you must stay at sea and even use the sea as your base.
born.
Chief of Staff Guanzhi stood on the left side of Feng Wanli, looking at the boundless sea, feeling something in his heart. Perhaps only in such an environment, can he realize how small he is compared to the vast world.
"Report! An unknown fleet has been spotted at three o'clock on the right front." Suddenly, a shout broke the silence, and a naval observer on the warship's lookout post shouted loudly.
"Continue to observe, the fleet adjusts its direction." As soon as he heard about the fleet, Feng Wanli, who was still squinting his eyes, suddenly became energetic. He had a feeling that since his caravan had stopped, it was very likely that this would happen.
What we encounter once will be the Japanese navy and the enemy.
"Could it be them?" Chief of Staff Guan Zhi straightened his body, feeling both excited and nervous at the same time.
I'm excited because after training for so long, it's finally time for the Quartet Army to show off their skills on the sea. I'm nervous because they still have too few warships. This time there are only one ship with two thousand materials and three ships with one thousand materials.
Ten warships with a cost of 500 materials. If it is a general escort, it is naturally enough. Even if ordinary pirates see them, they will not provoke them and will go around. But once they encounter the main force of the Japanese Navy
, then these ships are a bit unsightly.
Isn’t it enough? A smile appeared at the corner of Feng Wanli’s mouth. He learned this from Tang Ao. It was a very confident expression.
Others may think that the strength of this navy is mediocre. It doesn’t even have many warships, and there is only one ship worth two thousand. But as the brigade commander of the Quartet Army, Feng Wanli knows clearly that these fourteen warships are as good as
The difference between the ships from the outside world, especially the 2,000-material warship at his feet, was that it had four hidden bronze cannons.
After spending a lot of money, even at all costs, the master craftsmen did not disappoint. After continuous improvement, a group of craftsmen led by Xu Heng finally came up with a bronze cannon, which was two hundred
The result of many craftsmen working on almost three hours of sleep a day for three months, they finally have a cannon that weighs three thousand kilograms, but has an effective range of two miles and can fire ten kilograms and four taels of iron balls.
Artifact.
Cannon is the god of war, which is enough to prove its power. However, the process of making cannons is extremely difficult. There are many problems to be solved, such as the strength of the cannon boring, which is polished by countless thousands of steel.
Even so, the number of times an artillery can be used is still limited. After a hundred rounds are fired, it can no longer be used and can only be remade.
The cost of such an artillery can be said to be expensive. If it is left to future generations, it will not be used at all. But Tang Ao still used it. This is the benefit of being rich. Even if it is a waste, as long as it can effectively kill the enemy,
Everything is worth it.
There is also the weight of the cannonball. If it is too light, it will change direction after being fired, and it will fly so lightly that I don’t know where it is. If it is too heavy, it will not reach the shooting distance after being fired, and it will not achieve the purpose of hitting the target.
.In the end, I don’t know how many times I trained, and finally got a result of ten pounds and four ounces.
All cannonballs are made of iron balls. After being blasted, they can use their own weight to kill enemies, and can achieve various effects according to different materials. For example, cannonballs have solid bullets, which are the cheapest.
, there are also fire bombs (the outside is coated with a layer of kerosene to achieve a good burning effect), and explosive bombs (can have an explosive effect, but are also the most expensive). Shells like this are also the least in number, according to
According to what the person who sent the cannon said, it is better to use the explosive shells sparingly, at least to use them on the blade.
His Highness sent such a sharp weapon, which can be said to be a shot in the arm for Feng Wanli. With such a good thing, how could he still be afraid of the Japanese Navy? Think about it, there are still two more people on both sides.
Within a few miles, he could launch an attack and beat his opponent into a panic. How could he possibly lose this battle?
The most trustworthy craftsmen were quickly called to install these cannons on the warships overnight. It took ten days for all the preparations to be completed. Even the Silla army, which seemed to be closest to them,
Not knowing about the artillery, Feng Wanli sent his troops into the sea to test the power of these artillery pieces.
Regarding Feng Wanli's plan to take people into the sea, there were only fourteen ships. After learning about it, Pu Defa of Silla hurried to the military camp and tried to comfort him. According to him, there were only fourteen warships.
There are quite a few, but what the Japanese are most willing to play is the flocking of birds tactic. Compared with the ships, there are indeed many more opponents. On land, we can still form formations, but at sea, this strategy will no longer work. Get out.
It's really too dangerous.
Pu Defa had good intentions, and Feng Wanli could feel it. But he would not tell anyone about the artillery equipment, so he naturally refused the good intention and took the so-called Jizhou Navy into the sea on a day with good weather.
Come.
The image of Pu Defa stomping his feet in anger flashed through his mind, and Feng Wanli smiled again. When he thought about the noise caused by the artillery test launch after entering the sea, his face tightened again. Although he had been mentally prepared to a certain extent.
, but I have to say that he was still frightened the moment the cannonball entered the sea.
The solid bombs made a huge noise when they hit the sea. After the fire bombs fell into the sea, they actually caused a blaze of fire on the sea. The most powerful thing was the blooming bombs. When they entered the sea, they caused huge waves, like small hurricanes, and the place was shaken.
Everyone has arrived.
After the shock, he was overjoyed. With these gods of war, what is there to fear from Feng Wanli? Is there anywhere else in the world that he cannot go to?
"Brigadier, Brigadier." Seeing that the small black dot in the distance was getting closer and closer, it was gradually becoming clearer. At this moment, Feng Wanli kept chuckling on his face, but he was anxious.
Guan Zhi, the chief of staff, did not care about that many things and kept waking up.
Feng Wanli, who was awakened by Guan Zhi's voice, looked into the distance, and Lian Ji asked aloud, "Has the enemy appeared? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure it's the Japanese navy, who should be the enemy who attacked our merchant ships before."
"Okay, order all ships to prepare for battle. Do not open fire in advance. Everything depends on the flag order of the main ship." When he heard that the enemy had indeed appeared, Feng Wanli was not only not afraid, but also excited and eager to fight.
The Japanese Navy was ten miles away. The vast expanse of the sea allowed them to see far away.
"Haha, is this the Jizhou Navy our informant said? Isn't the number of these warships too small? A dozen ships are not enough to squeeze through." Xiong Meicheng stood at the head of two thousand materials.
On the boat, everyone laughed. The Japanese fan looked completely confident at this time.
They had been beaten hard by the Jizhou Army on land before, so much so that they were afraid of being beaten just once. Now they did not dare to land in the small country of Silla, so they could only retreat and attack the small country of Gaya next to them.
After this robbery, they recovered some strength and frightened the Gaya people. In order to protect themselves, they had to provide the Japanese with information about the Jizhou Army, such as the merchant ships.
