Chapter 1157 I can’t pick up anything hot anymore!
"That's right, he's just a veteran, and he doesn't seem to have much ability. Just let him go. The other brothers still need to use cannonballs!"
The few soldiers sang in harmony and began to sympathize with the ammunition that had been placed in the belly of the cannon!
Pity!
Can it still be taken out?
Why not use it where it is needed more?
That's what they say, but this is not something they can decide.
Huan Xuan's eyes widened, and the few soldiers were immediately speechless.
They all bowed their heads, loading the ammunition when it was time to load it, and lighting the fire when it was time to fire.
"bring it on!"
"Kill!"
Who knows whether this is important or not? Huan Xuan, who set foot on a real battlefield for the first time, had no idea.
However, he is born with such a stubbornness. As long as it is something he is determined to do, even if it is wrong, he will do it to the end.
There must be consequences, good or bad.
Now Huan Xuan is stuck with this old guy, and he wants to kill him, regardless of whether he is an important figure in the enemy's party or not.
Why focus on him?
There is no special reason why he just doesn't look pleasing to the eye?
After the cannonballs were prepared, Huan Xuan personally brought the tinder over, and in a flash, he pushed aside the soldier who was originally responsible for igniting the fire.
He personally stood behind the crosshairs of the red cannon.
Although this front sight is still relatively rough and primitive, it is an epoch-making progress for the battlefield, especially in the era of hot weapons!
With it, even a rough version can still greatly improve the accuracy of shooting.
Or Huan Xuan is a born warrior. Look at him, he has never eaten a red cannon before, and he has never even seen what a cannonball looks like.
However, when he held this cannon in his hands and saw how the artillerymen used it skillfully, he learned it completely within a few times.
But now, after successfully firing a few cannons, Huan Xuan not only learned it, but also used it skillfully.
It’s not a boast, but there’s no need to mention the accuracy and hit rate.
It’s simply amazing!
Every time a cannon was fired, it knocked down a large area, and almost never returned empty-handed. Huan Xuan was so brave, and he still showed it in front of the soldiers.
Can it not attract their admiration?
Who is Huan Xuan?
I was already full of self-confidence, but now that I have the compliments of the soldiers, I can't even find my direction, how can I not do my best to perform for them.
Yes!
Huan Xuan is a very exaggerated person, and he does have some acting skills in him.
He saw Yao Chang's figure again in the crowd. He was chopping hard now, and there were always dozens of soldiers guarding him.
The purpose was to protect him, but the result was naturally the opposite. If Yao Chang was just one person, he might not be so eye-catching, but if there are more people and they form a small group, this matter will be troublesome.
The target is too big, and anyone who sees it will know that this veteran who is protected in the middle must be a big shot!
Very big shot!
Why don't you just point the cannon at him and blast him?
Fortunately, Yao Chang encountered Huan Xuan, a young general who was as brave as a tiger but lacking in brains. He didn't care whether he was a big shot or a small shot. He only wanted to target the person he liked.
However, unfortunately, in the case of Yao Chang, these two tendencies can be said to have reached the same goal through different paths.
Because, right now, Huan Xuan's red cannon is pointing directly at Yao Chang!
You see, it’s a mistake!
Although there is the help of the crosshair, the red cannon of this era still needs human assistance if it wants to aim at the target faster and better.
It was necessary to rely on manpower to reverse the direction of the gun barrel. Fortunately, Huan Xuan solved this trivial matter by himself.
If someone else wants to control the red cannon, at least two people are needed, which is standard.
One is responsible for aiming and adjusting the angle, one is responsible for moving the barrel and finding the correct direction, and the other is naturally responsible for loading ammunition.
This was the standard composition pattern of artillery squads in this era.
However, when we arrived at Huan Xuan's place, things were much simpler. He could solve it all by himself standing there!
Huan Xuan alone was responsible for aiming and loading ammunition. In the end, he had to fire the shot himself.
That's called busyness.
However, as the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou army, he was originally surrounded by small soldiers to help him. There were definitely a lot of them, and they were all attentive.
Who would have thought that when the cannons were fired to get excited, Huan Xuan sent away all the helpers, determined not to let them interfere.
Insist on doing it all yourself.
Doesn't this go against the laws of science?
Isn't this a joke?
Yes, in the minds of normal people, in the thinking logic of normal people, of course they would not do this, it is simply impossible!
The red cannon is not a musket. It cannot aim and fire immediately. It does not have such skills.
Since its successful development, in normal historical time and space, it has also been a weapon that requires the cooperation of multiple people to use it properly.
Why could General Huanxuan do the opposite?
Could it be that he really had help from gods?
Or can Huan Xuan really break through the original limitations of weapons and use them however he wants? Can he succeed?
Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, he has already done this anyway. The soldiers who are responsible for watching him can't do anything to him, they are just helping him to defend the perimeter.
Although, they didn't play much of a role.
After all, the current Qiang soldiers are simply unable to fight against the Jin army. They have no strength to fight back and can only protect themselves. Especially Huan Xuan, who controls the cannon in red, is even more like a heavenly being.
Who dares to touch him?
Who dares to approach him?
I don’t even dare to do it well!
They were all afraid of him to death, thinking that the red cannon was some kind of extraterrestrial thing, some ancient artifact that could be traced back to the time of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.
Therefore, he didn’t need too many people to protect him or help from others. Huan Xuan started practicing by himself!
Now, Huan Xuan's cannon barrel has been aimed at Yao Chang!
The old general was entangled by a group of Jin infantry. He wanted to advance, but there was no way. He wanted to retreat, which was even more impossible, so he was stuck there.
This time, Huan Xuan was given a chance. He only needed to light the fire gently and everything would be over!
In the future, it will definitely be recorded in the history books.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, on the battlefield of Qinzhou, Yao and his son were killed on the same day, and General Lingbao was responsible for it!
This credit belongs exclusively to him, Huan Xuan!
Of course, so far, Huan Xuan has been busy at the front, and he has no idea that someone has already taken the lead just before Li Gong.
Yao Xing was already dead. He was killed by Zhu Xu, the former general who had always been looked down upon by Huan Xuan!
Now, only half of this huge credit remains!
If I don't hold on tighter, I won't even be sure whether I can get this half!
Just behind Huan Xuan, who was eager to try, Wang Mi was riding on horseback!
Fast!
quickly!
"Stop shooting!"
"I want to live!"
Wang Mi shouted desperately, but within his sight, Huan Xuan was still standing near the red cannon, and had no intention of obeying his instructions.
And further away, one can indeed see, in a daze, Yao Chang surrounded by a group of soldiers.
"Your Majesty, Huan Xuan seems to be unable to hear our screams. Moreover, it would be even worse if Yao Chang was killed by those unsuspecting Beifu soldiers!"
At the critical moment, Zeng Jing could still think clearly and think of this possibility.
yes!
Even if Huan Xuan didn't kill him, other Jin soldiers might kill him. By then, a fresh and warm Yao Chang would be gone!
What to do?
How can a person as smart and witty as King Langya turn the situation around?
"Quick, give me the bow and arrows!"
Zeng Jing was slightly stunned and quickly handed over his share to Wang Mi. Even though King Langya was winning consecutive battles, he was a standard victorious general.
But in fact, King Langya was able to achieve such impressive results all by relying on some new types of military strategies, and most importantly, those miraculous firearms.
Putting aside these epoch-making plug-ins, our King Langya's bow and horse skills still haven't made much progress. It can only be said that he can inherit as much of the original skills as he has left.
Therefore, whenever he went to the battlefield, he would rather shoot with a pistol than handle a bow and arrow, and he did not even think of bringing a longbow.
At the beginning, when he was in Xiangyang, Wang Mi would raise his bow and arrow from time to time to show off.
Who told him that he didn't have prestige in the army at that time?
Various artifacts have not yet been successfully developed and put into use. If you want to gain the trust of the soldiers, you must set foot on the battlefield in person.
Just relying on two mouths, talking and pointing, is useless.
Even if the soldiers go to the battlefield, they will not be loyal to you. They are not your soldiers. You must charge into battle like them and let them truly feel that you are one of them before they are willing to fight for you.
You work hard.
The word "working hard" is very appropriate.
War is not like any other job. It is a dangerous job where you have to tie your life to your waistband and never know when you will lose it.
The soldiers have no absolute trust in you, so why would they risk their lives for you?
Of course, those were some of the difficulties faced in the early stages of career development, but now, with the blessing of firearms, Wang Mi has been away from cold weapons like bows and arrows for a long time.
And now, at this critical moment, he remembered it again. Zeng Jing watched Wang Mi, whom he admired so much, nock the bow and arrow, and the whole action was done in one go (a bit clumsy), and he was really sweating.
What exactly does the king want to do?
The genius had just dawned, and everything around him was still shrouded in fog, but Wang Mi's arrow was pointed at a target.
No more!
He must be stopped!
Whoosh!
As soon as his fingers were loosened, the sharp arrow pierced the air, broke away from the long bow, and headed straight for Huan Xuan!
"Your Majesty, what are you..."
Seeing the traces of the arrow clearly, Zeng Jing was immediately stunned.
Wang Mi didn't say anything, gritting his teeth and waiting for the result, but the arrow still lived up to expectations. Although the route was a little crooked, it still flew towards the target!
This is a major surprise!
Zeng Jing finally understood and exclaimed: "The king is mighty!"
"This kid Huan Xuan has been restless, and the general is also having a lot of headaches. Unexpectedly, the king has already thought of a way to get rid of him. There is chaos on the battlefield now. It is a great idea to take advantage of the chaos to kill him.
!”
The only shortcoming was that the bow and arrow shot at Huan Xuan had the markings of the Jin army on them. If they were to investigate, it would be inevitable that they would not be found to have been shot by one of our own people.
However, this problem is not big. The battlefield was already in chaos, with various weapons flying around. At the same time, there were also red cannons that newly joined the battle, which further disrupted the already chaotic Qinzhou battlefield.
At this time, it is very possible that some people who are short-sighted or have poor skills may shoot their bows and arrows in the wrong direction.
The result we want is just for Huan Xuan to be thrown into the street. As for how he was thrown into the street and who caused him to be thrown into the street, we don't care at all and it doesn't matter.
When the time comes, the facts are there, and Huan Chong has to accept that the court has eliminated a serious concern. If Huan Chong refuses to let go, it is not impossible to find a scapegoat.
Everything depends on the situation before making a decision.
However, the top priority now is to take Huan Xuan's life first. It's too dangerous. This man is really too dangerous!
Zeng Jing originally wanted to take action himself, but unexpectedly, Wang Mi rushed in front of him.
He is indeed a man who does great things. Not long ago, Wang Mi kept telling Zeng Jing that he should not attack Huan Xuan now and wait for the opportunity!
Now he's doing it himself!
Sure enough, the previous words were just perfunctory words that failed to find a good opportunity. The more Zeng Jing thought about it, the more proud he became. However, he saw the arrow bending and flying straight past the handle of the red cannon.
!
"what happened?"
"Who dares to sneak attack me?"
Huan Xuan finally adjusted the angle. He was about to fire the cannon, but he didn't expect that at a ten thousandth of a second, a feather arrow flew from behind him!
It shocked him so much that the adjusted angle was off.
Old Yao Chang also stood out from the encirclement and disappeared from his original position.
"it's me!"
Huan Xuan was cursing, but when he looked back, he saw Wang Mi standing on his horse behind him. The bow and arrow in his hand seemed to be steaming!
He immediately changed his face: "It turns out to be the king. Look at it, my cannon, isn't it pretty good?"
Wang Mi didn't talk nonsense with him. He only said seriously: "That veteran is Yao Chang. Yao Xing has been killed by Zhu Xu. I want to keep this Yao Chang alive."
"Yao Xing is dead?"
What made Huan Xuan collapse even more than the fat sheep flying to his lips was Yao Qiang's general was the death of Yao Xing. Why did he die?
Besides, he was killed by Zhu Xu!
He can do it all!
I actually can't!
Huan Xuan exploded on the spot!
He took out the musket from his waist and got on the horse again. No, he couldn't count on the cannon. He wanted to get on the horse immediately and kill Yao Chang himself.
No matter how late it is, it won’t even be hot enough!
However, Huan Xuan thought that if he rushed up now, he would be able to catch up with Re Hu?
