At least in this era, there is no armor that can withstand firearms.
The so-called Overlord Armor is just thicker, but in the final analysis it is still iron armor.
The vital points are thickened, but more parts are still weak, otherwise it would be too heavy for soldiers to wear armor for combat.
"ah……"
Screams came and went.
Two more volleys were fired, and not a single Overlord Armor was left standing.
Knock them all down.
"Remove the ammunition and put the gun away!" Wei Feng ordered.
The firearms battalion sergeant who had not fired yet immediately returned the ammunition and skillfully hit it with the small box in the ammunition bag.
These ammunitions that have been stuffed with purges cannot be fired directly next time. They need to be taken back and remade into new standard ammunition.
As for why it is not destroyed directly, the reason is very simple, because it will consume the service life of the musket.
Any weapon has a service life, and the service life of firearms is shorter than that of cold weapons.
If it is not easy to maintain, this will be a huge military expenditure.
Save money if you can.
"I'm going to Beidaying to have a look." Seeing that everything was done here, Lin Bei quickly took people to the north, and Fang Jue didn't stop him.
"General, don't we go to the Beida Camp to provide support?" Wei Feng rode back and stopped in front of Fang Jue.
Fang Jue shook his head: "Five hundred firearms troops, plus five hundred black dragon cavalry, if they can't clean up the Ningzhou Army North Camp, then don't come back to see me."
"Uh... the general is right..." Wei Feng was startled for a moment, then nodded.
Number of people is not the only thing that determines victory or defeat, it is not even the key.
Especially with the support of the Black Dragon Riders and the Firearms Battalion, unless it is an intensive street battle, there is no reason to lose.
"Clean up the battlefield and wait for news from the north." Fang Jue waved.
About half an hour passed.
Lin Bei came back from Beidaying.
Looking at his posture, Fang Jue shook his head secretly, knowing that there were probably not many prisoners left.
The entire Ningzhou Army was considered a rebel, so Fang Jue did not show any kindness and asked Lin Bei to kill as little as possible in advance.
The little soldier was helpless, but after seeing the Habayashi army and the secret decree, and still resisting stubbornly, there was no need to show mercy.
"General, good news for Beida Camp!" Lin Bei stopped his horse with a smile.
He cupped his hands and said, "Report to the general, the Ningzhou Army's North Camp has been dealt with."
"This is not considered the enemy's military merit. Why did you kill so many?" Wei Feng complained.
Lin Bei knew that Fang Jue didn't like killing wantonly, so he quickly explained:
"It wasn't our Yulin Army who did it. We were almost done when we got there. They were all killed by the Black Dragon Riders. The last two thousand Overlord Armors were naturally killed by the Firearms Battalion."
This is not to blame, Lin Bei did go too late, the Black Dragon Riders were too lethal, and there were very few people left alive once they took action.
Because it needs to be kept secret.
As the most powerful heavy cavalry in Daxia, the Black Dragon Cavalry's equipment and weapons, war horses, soldier quality, and tactics array... are all kept secret.
It cannot be disclosed at will.
War is often fought due to poor intelligence. If more of these key information are leaked, the Black Dragon Riders will no longer be so fearsome.
It's because he has to fight to see blood and kill people that the blood flows like rivers, so he has such a fearsome reputation.
"The order goes down. No one is allowed to leak or discuss anything about the Black Dragon Riders. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed." Fang Jue took precautions in advance to prevent anyone from being silenced by the emperor later.
"As you command!"
…
"Where is the Black Dragon Rider?"
When he led his army to Beida Camp, except for the corpses of Ningzhou soldiers all over the place, not a single Black Dragon Cavalry was left.
Not a single thing was left behind, whether it was the Black Dragon Riders' soldiers who died in the battle, or their horses or weapons.
"It's really a secret." Fang Jue smiled. Since he didn't want to stay any longer, there was no need to care.
"Transmit my military order. From now on, the Yulin Army will take over the entire defense of Ningzhou City and wait for His Majesty's orders."
"General, do you want to send a message to Jinling about what happened tonight?" Lin Beidao.
"That's natural."
early morning.
When the people in Ningzhou City opened their doors and windows, they only saw the Yulin Army patrolling the streets.
There was also a large group of government servants carrying buckets and brushes at the entrance to the streets and alleys, washing the floors.
The smell of blood was already so thin that it was inaudible, but the people still noticed that it was different from usual.
"Last night?" Old friends who met each other asked each other to test whether they knew what happened last night.
"I eavesdropped at home last night, and later I went up to the roof and saw that many soldiers were talking about Prince Ning's rebellion and the order to suppress it."
"Why is there no movement now?"
"It's all passed in one night, it should be over by now."
"It's a pity that we didn't see such a scene. Prince Ning rebelled after all. We have suffered enough from the oppression these years."
"Isn't it? With all kinds of tax increases, I can't live any longer. The imperial court has dealt with him. I'm really happy!"
As for the outcome of last night's battle, everyone knew the outcome, but the government office did not post a notice.
The streets were full of unfamiliar troops, not dressed in armor and uniforms from the Ningzhou Army. It was obvious at a glance that King Ning had been defeated.
King Ning conspired to rebel, but was suppressed before he could raise an army. Whether this matter should be made public has to wait for the emperor's decree.
…
Ningzhou government office.
"Sir, you are finally here."
Fang Jie took a good nap before arriving here. It was almost noon.
Wei Feng did not follow, Lin Bei was also on patrol, and only Dianyi accompanied him with a hundred-household battalion for protection.
Cheng Jie was relieved when he saw Fang Jue. Although someone had already reported that the matter was settled, he still couldn't feel at ease without seeing Fang Jue.
"Have all the officials of Ningzhou Prefecture been captured?" Fang Jue asked.
"They are all being held in the back hall and haven't been jailed yet," Cheng Jie replied.
Fang Jue: "Didn't he kill?"
"Don't worry, the general will be measured. No one dares to resist. Naturally, there will be no accidents. They are all just holding him."
"That's good, take me to see it."
Cheng Jie led the way, leading Fang Jue and others into the back hall of the Yamen.
As soon as he came in here, Fang Jue glanced around and frowned.
Regardless of the decoration, ornaments or structure, this does not look like the back hall of a government office, but more like the back garden of a private house.
The level of luxury has exceeded the limit.
"No need to ask, it's just a corrupt official." Noriichi said disdainfully.
"Brother Dian is saying that these Ningzhou officials are following King Ning to eat meat."
Along the way, Fang Jue asked: "Have they ever gathered a crowd to rebel?"
"Before it's too late, according to the yamen leader, when he heard about Prince Ning's rebellion, Mr. Futai said he regretted not rebelling earlier," Cheng Jie said.
Fang Jue looked sideways with a wonderful expression. This man dared to say such things. Isn't this looking for death?
"So, you've gone through the trial?" Fang Jue said with a smile.
Cheng Jie chuckled: "There's no point in interrogating. The general doesn't know anything. These people know what happened and are shirking their responsibilities. The general doesn't need to ask... They just revealed everything themselves and are still quarreling now."
, blaming each other."
Cheng Jie learned the term "blame-shifting" from Fang Jue and thought it fit well.
After saying that, Fang Jue was still laughing. He walked deep into the back hall and heard several noisy sounds.
"Still blaming me? If you hadn't persuaded me, I would have sued Prince Ning a long time ago. Would there be any disaster today?"
"Sir, what time has it been? Don't be so harsh. Someone reported you to Prince Ning's Mansion for violating the law, but he disappeared the next day... If you didn't leak the secret, who else could it be?"
"nonsense!"
"My government is pure and clean, how can I allow you to slander me?"
"The supervisor is right. How much did you charge Prince Ning to repair the Yamen Hall?"
"Be conscientious when you speak! Don't you get the benefit of Prince Ning? Can't I just take money and do nothing?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"General, do you want to go in and have a look?" Cheng Jie asked expectantly. He really wanted to see these officials making a fool of themselves.
On weekdays in the capital, those dignitaries look down on them, Qiu Ba.
Things are changing.
"Since I'm here, I naturally want to take a look." Fang Jue waved his hand to open the door.
The brothers from the Guards Battalion opened the door very quickly and just knocked it open.
"The door is unlocked..." Cheng Jie wanted to remind him, but it was already too late.
"It's okay, it's not our fault anyway." Fang Jue comforted and patted Cheng Jie on the shoulder.
"Oh, that's right." Cheng Jie stood up indifferently.
After opening the door, the noisy people in the government office immediately stopped arguing and looked at the door.
Looking at the crowded room, Fang felt that he didn't want to go in. Cheng Jie waved his hands sensibly, and two Yulin soldiers with good eyesight immediately moved a chair.
"Thank you."
Fang Jue sat down and fiddled with his clothes before looking at the people in the room.
"Who is this sir?" The Futai adults and others were all a little confused, because Fang Jue was too young. Which family did they think he was?
Cheng Jie introduced: "This is the commander-in-chief of my army that conquers the north, General Junjue!" This chapter has been completed!
