This is not Wang Mi's ruthlessness, this is the most normal battle on the battlefield. Just now, wasn't the Qiang soldiers' offensive also very fierce?
Taking advantage of the advantage of the warship, they stood on the boat and kept firing arrows towards the river bank. At the same time, the cavalry troops also cooperated. To be honest, if it were not for the support of firearms, the wave of offensive just now would have been replaced by
The Beifu soldiers in the past could no longer hold on any longer and were about to be driven back!
Therefore, now that the Jin army has finally come up with its big killer weapon, the Qiang soldiers do not have to think that they have suffered from the iteration of weapons.
This is all just a cycle of cause and effect.
Bang bang bang!
Several artillery shells landed on the Qiang soldiers' chartered boat one after another. They were completely unprepared for such an attack and were very unfamiliar.
For many people, shells had already flown towards them, but they just stared at them, not even daring to move.
I don't know what I should do either.
I even forgot to avoid it.
So, when the heavy solid projectiles fell on them, the ending that awaited them was imaginable.
Although the solid projectiles in ancient times were very lethal, at least much more powerful than other weapons, they were still far behind modern cannonballs filled with gunpowder.
However, this type of ammunition also has another advantage, that is, when the projectile flies out of the barrel at high speed, it will also bring out a large number of sparks.
In fact, the attack power of those solid cannonballs is just average, and there is no special hope.
After all, the best they can do is smash a hole in the treasure ship, let water enter the hull, and continue to sink.
This kind of attack is still relatively slow and cannot achieve the effect of hitting the enemy with a single hit and giving the enemy a devastating blow.
What's more, although the artillery of this era already has aiming equipment such as crosshairs, the accuracy is still much worse.
It might be okay to hit large targets like treasure ships, but small targets are basically difficult to hit with one shot.
Of course, the so-called hit is probably just that it hit the window, it hit the mast, it hit the side of the ship, it hit the bottom of the ship.
I can only make do with it.
What Wang Mi is counting on are those sizzling sparks. You see, as long as there are sparks, there is fire.
As long as there is fire, what is there to be afraid of?
When it touched those strong wooden boards, it burned instantly!
Once the time comes, the fire will be uncontrollable!
Those treasure ships were just piles of scrap wood and could no longer serve any purpose. But what about the people on the treasure ships?
Of course they dispersed in a hurry!
Is there still a way to survive?
After a few rounds of artillery fire, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.
No matter how powerful the horse is, no matter how good the archer is, they can only be defeated in front of the artillery. The gap is too far.
I can't blame them for this.
"Okay! It's time to close the team!"
Wei Yongzhi received the order and moved the red cannon to the back of the queue. This time the attack consumed a total of thirteen shells and sank two enemy treasure ships.
No matter what era it is in, this can be regarded as an impressive achievement.
That’s it.
It's time to go back and rest. The red artillery has completed its mission. Next, you can continue to rely on conventional troops to clean up the battlefield.
This was Wang Mi's initial thought. Although he had been busy preparing for several months, it must be said that the overall arrangement was still a bit hasty.
The main thing is weapons and artillery, I always feel that it is not enough, and it is still not enough.
Even the craftsmen from Jingzhou, the local craftsmen in Jingkou, and the general workshop in Jiankang City are all working overtime and manufacturing day and night. However, compared with the huge consumption that will usher in,
In the end it's still not enough.
The main thing is that artillery is like this. If there is a surplus, then the principle of fire coverage can be implemented to carry out brutal and inhumane attacks on the enemy.
The gunpowder consumption has increased all of a sudden. No matter how much you have stored now, if you don't have enough artillery, then you can only use it sparingly. That doesn't mean you can't win, you can win.
Yes, but, you know, I don’t have that much money. How can I be happy when fighting?
It was simply heart-wrenching and uncomfortable!
Therefore, at this moment of his debut, Wang Mi could only ask his subordinates to set an example and be a little frugal, otherwise, in the subsequent battle, the artillery would really be insufficient, and it would be useless to worry at that time.
Saving money now probably means that when they attack Chang'an City, they can use their artillery to their heart's content and let Yao Qiang's remaining forces have a taste of the hot red cannon.
No matter what happens in the future, today's battle can only be fought here.
As the sky grew dark, He Wuji led his men and simply gathered together all the weapons and armor that could be collected along both sides of the river, and sent people to count them. Liu Muzhi was responsible for recording. Everything was operating in an orderly and efficient manner.
.
Liu Yu and Liu Jinu, the top generals beside Wang Mi, are also sitting next to him. Since the war started, they have not found a chance to play.
Now he is anxious because of pain in his back, butt and head.
"Slave, don't worry, I won't forget you when you come on stage."
"Your Majesty's words are serious. Please follow your Majesty's orders and you will definitely obey your orders."
Of course, a general like Liu Yu, a fierce general, cannot be betrayed so quickly before the critical moment. Besides, under Liu Yu, there are He Wuji, Wei Yongzhi and others, all of whom are also tigers and wolves.
After finally waiting for the opportunity of the Northern Expedition, everyone knew that this was a big battle that would determine the outcome.
If you want to make achievements, if you want to get addicted to big battles, this is the best time. If you miss it, you don’t know when you will get another chance.
Aren’t you all waiting to go on stage and try your skills?
What's more, compared with Liu Yu, these good brothers have indeed fought fewer battles, and they have not been given any opportunities to show their faces. Now, aren't one or two all scrambling to rush forward?
For example, in a small-scale battle like today, there is no need to dispatch generals like Liu Yu. He Wuji and the others can handle it enough.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.
"Ji Nu, what position do you want to have after the Northern Expedition?"
"Have you ever thought about it?"
Under the clear moonlight, Wang Mi brought up this topic for no reason, and Liu Yu's heart jumped suddenly for no reason.
"I haven't thought about what's going to happen next. I'm just thinking about how to capture all these cities."
"After this, I will go wherever the king goes, and I will do whatever the king asks me to do."
Liu Yu's voice was very thick, and it felt like he was thinking and talking at the same time. Wang Mi turned his head and looked at him steadily, also attracted by his firm eyes.
Liu Yu has a calm and resolute temperament, and is definitely not a man in the pool. Wang Mi has always been worried that the Beifu soldiers will become stronger and stronger in his hands, and when Wang Mi is about to ascend to a high position, Liu Yu will give in.
If you can't stop, you will start an army and cause chaos.
At that time, the former brothers will completely break up and turn against each other. Obviously, this is an outcome that Wang Mi does not want to see.
However, it seems that Wang Mi is not in control of the direction of the matter. Everything depends on Liu Yu's choice.
With Liu Yu's ability, he is also capable of sitting on that throne and can control it well. However, to be fair, without Wang Mi, Liu Yu would naturally be the strongest figure in the south of this era, even the heroes in the north.
Everyone is no match for him.
But, who brought an extraterrestrial visitor?
Liu Yu could only settle for second place.
What Wang Mi was worried about was what Liu Yu was thinking. With Liu Yu's intelligence, he would not fail to see Wang Mi's ambitions, and he would not fail to understand the current situation within the Jin Dynasty.
Everything is moving in the direction controlled by Wang Mi, so where will Liu Yu, this talented man, go?
Will he be willing to be led by Wang Mi?
However, now that Liu Yu had made such a promise personally, although Wang Mi still had doubts in his heart, he was not prepared to delve into it further.
However, the situation Liu Yu faces now is completely different from the situation in history. Even if he holds the same belief, it is completely useless.
The civil strife of the Tianshi Dao rebellion that enabled him to firmly control the Beifu soldiers in his own hands has been wiped out by Wang Mi.
Although there are still remnants of Sun Tai's forces in various places, the core figures are all gone. Looking at local trends recently, these people will not be able to carry out any larger activities in a short period of time.
In addition, there are his direct generals, He Wuji and Wei Yongzhi, these are all excellent generals.
However, now they are all Wang Mi's people.
Right in front of Liu Yu's eyes, Wang Mi turned these people one by one into his own.
Of course, without historical events as a reference, Liu Yu would not have predicted that He Wuji and the others would have followed him.
All in all, Liu Yu has now lost the conditions to become king and hegemon.
So, how will he choose?
Are you continuing your ambition?
Or should you surrender to Wang Mi and really follow him?
Everything is still unknown, but Liu Yu's statement can be regarded as making Wang Mi feel relieved.
After all, Liu Yu still knows the general picture.
What is the future?
Needless to say, Wang Mi is a time traveler. He is originally possessed by a halo, and several battles have fully demonstrated this.
As long as he doesn't take the initiative to die (even, Wang Mi suspects, even if he takes the initiative, God will not let him die.) No matter how he operates, he will not lose his life.
But that's not the case with Liu Yu.
He is a person of this era, and he fully understands that swords have no eyesight, and life or death on the battlefield is most likely to happen in an instant.
Even in Beifu, Wang Mi is now a general who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but he still takes life and death very lightly.
You see, Beifu's firearms are so powerful now. Maybe one day they will kill him with one shot! Do you want anything else?
After the Northern Expedition, it is not too late to react until everything has settled.
Wang Mi didn't care. He just asked casually and didn't have much true feelings. After all, for him, if he didn't become the emperor, then the dispute between him and Liu Yu would probably not escalate.
At that time, everyone was equal, and even if there were disputes, it was normal.
And what if Wang Mi becomes the emperor?
Then there is no need to worry.
At that time, all the troops in the territory will be dispatched by him alone. The Jingzhou Department, which was the most difficult to control before, is now his friendly force, and there will be no worries at all.
So, even if Liu Yu wants to cause trouble, who will he follow?
The Sima family?
Don't be kidding, how could those people from the Sima family control Liu Yu?
In addition, even if Liu Yu is willing to join forces with them, he still wants to eat their army into his own belly.
So, what will Liu Yu do at this time?
At best, these troops are used as bargaining chips to fight Wang Mi. However, does such a fight have any meaning?
No one knows better than Liu Yu that without firearms, the current army, no matter which one it is, has no way to compete with the Beifu soldiers.
Not to mention artifacts like the red cannon.
Although Wang Mi had already spread the technology of muskets and artillery and did not keep it secretly, Liu Yu didn't know what the red cannon did.
At that time, all the red cannons were completed in the general's workshop, and neither the Jingzhou Department nor the Jingkou Base Camp knew anything about it.
Therefore, let’s not talk about the future, just look at the present. Even if the Northern Expedition succeeds and Liu Yu can join forces with the remaining forces of the Sima family, they will still face various unfavorable situations.
The troops are insufficient, the weapons are not comparable at all, and the two most important elements for fighting are not available, so why fight?
There is no possibility of success at all.
Although Liu Yu has a bad temper, he is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very shrewd and calm. This is an obvious fact. If you have the ability and confidence, you should only engage in a fight. If you are not sure and have no ability, then what is the point?
?
Become a general under Wang Mi. In the future, fame and fortune will come to your doorstep, and you can also be listed in the biographies of famous officials. Maybe after Wang Mi, he can be Liu Yu!
The ranking is particularly high, and you can tell at a glance that he is a minister of humility. Isn't this a good thing?
Of course, all this depends on Liu Yu's personal choice.
Judging from his history, he is indeed the kind of person who is unwilling to be inferior to others and must transcend.
He is a warrior.
But that was him in history, not the one who lives in this current time and space. The basic character traits of people will probably not change much. However, it is undeniable that it is like the times create heroes. Heroes want to
Breaking through the siege requires not only personal efforts, but also the environment.
Some people are born with that kind of luck. When they break out, many of the old forces wither away and lose their strength, so their era begins.
To put it harshly, in fact, Liu Yu in history also fell into this category. Before him, the heroes in the late Jin Dynasty were not invincible.
For example, the Beifu soldiers who were firmly controlled by him at that time were originally founded by Xie Xuan. If Xie Xuan could live longer, then it would never be his turn to control Beifu.
