Pu Jiadi frantically pushed the hair from his forehead, gasped several times, and his eyes were bloodshot. If Zheng Quchi were in front of him at this time, he would probably want to bite her.
But after all, Pu Jiadi is a veteran who has been famous for many years and has a very deep city. He knows that incompetent anger cannot solve the problem. Only a calm mind is the key to victory. Obviously, today's start is not good.
As the ancient saying goes, war, husband and wife, courage also means that one can go all out in one go, then weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. Now they are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and in a state of unknown circumstances, they have suffered a great shock. This is undoubtedly I am exhausted because of that excess, so I overcome it.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and made a decisive decision.
"Everyone obeys the order and evacuates!"
At the command, he tightened the reins and took the lead in charging forward alone. Seeing this, the soldiers retreated and diverged to make way for him. However, he completely ignored that some soldiers might not be able to get out of the way and died under his iron cavalry.
At this moment, he only had the deep hatred after being humiliated - he remembered this hatred!
The nearby soldiers of the Beiyuan Kingdom heard the commander's order and followed them without hesitation, while the troops on both wings waved flag bearers to command the troops to withdraw. The Beiyuan Army turned around and returned to where they came from.
...until the "black and red tide" completely receded, and when Zheng Quchi watched the Beiyuan Army withdraw, he did not order to continue the attack, but looked at the opponent's retreat with a serious expression.
Fu Rong was dumbfounded. He said in disbelief: "...Why did they retreat?"
No more struggling? Although he also admitted that the artillery was a little scary, well, not a little, but very scary, but the opponent had hundreds of thousands of sophisticated troops, so how many people had been lost? In a tough attack, it is not certain who will win.
But when he saw that the opponent was retreating so neatly, it was not as if he was only afraid of artillery, but more like there was some terrifying monster chasing him behind him, so he quickly ran away. Especially the coach of Beiyuan Kingdom, who had made a big move just a second ago. The words were arrogant, but the withdrawal of troops in the next second was as if they had been trained, without any sloppiness.
The soldiers in the battle fort were also stunned for a short time, and cheered with surprise as if they were surviving a disaster. Although they were still sweating from being frightened, they were able to defeat such a powerful opponent as Beiyuan Kingdom without fighting. Victory, the first good news, this is simply a great joy that can bring glory to the ancestors.
Joy, excitement and full pride filled their hearts, directly overwhelming their fear and fear. When they thought that their Ye country also had their own mysterious killer weapon, they all wanted to look up to the sky and scream. to express the inner ecstasy.
Zheng Quchi glanced at him sideways and said slowly: "Do you really want to fight with them?"
Hearing his tone, he sounded somewhat regretful, but he seemed to be the one who was so frightened just now that he almost deserted, right?
Fu Rong quickly shut up. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he couldn't help but be attracted by the weird-looking big guy on the fort who shot black balls. He stepped forward excitedly: "This, how amazing is this artillery?" Things?"
As he said that, he started to touch it, but the next second he touched it, the skin of his hand was almost burned off, and Zheng Quchi was slow to react and pulled his hand away.
"Don't touch it. The cannon that was just fired is very hot. Don't you know?" she said seriously.
"...I know now." Fu Rong looked at his red palms and felt like crying.
Wei Yao took the opportunity to joke: "Ignorant."
Although he just found out about it, he didn't admit it, so who knew?
Fu Rong was playing his hand. He was too lazy to pay attention to Wei Yao, but asked Zheng Quchi curiously: "Madam, we have artillery, why don't we continue to attack?"
Wei Yao didn't understand this matter. As long as he kept firing artillery, he would definitely hit the Beiyuan Army hard. By then, the Ye Army would no longer be afraid of the Beiyuan Army and would no longer be threatened by the Beiyuan Kingdom. But just now they just watched the opponent's heavy attacks. After reorganizing the army and withdrawing the troops, there is always an unpleasant feeling that such a good opportunity has been wasted.
After all, this time, their victory was in the surprise attack. They had never seen the enemy's artillery and did not know how to deal with it. But if the Beiyuan Army invades next time, that may not be certain.
Once they take appropriate precautions, Ye Jun will be in a passive state again.
Of course Zheng Quchi understood what they were thinking, but she could only tell them one thing with great regret.
"Can't attack." She said helplessly.
Can't attack?
What does it mean?
"Madam, why?" Fu Rong asked very innocently.
Zheng Quchi turned his eyes away and told him truthfully: "After firing this artillery once, it will take at least a cup of tea to cool down before you can continue to fire the shells, otherwise, it will explode."
Sometimes she also has a headache when it comes to technical barriers, but there is always a way to solve it, but it requires enough time to study. It is not easy for her to build artillery in a hurry to scare people. Think about it again Improving the performance of artillery cannot be accomplished in a short time.
After understanding the reason, Fu Rong was stunned for a while.
But he soon felt relieved. It was normal for such a powerful weapon to have such a few shortcomings.
"If I had known this, I should have blown up the commander of the Beiyuan Army just now." Fu Rong said sadly.
Seven shells were wasted, but they were only used against some ordinary soldiers.
Zheng Quchi scratched his face: "I'm afraid that's not possible. I can only let the artillery fire now, and it is difficult to accurately determine the distance and direction."
Fu Rong and Wei Yao: "..." Was the choice of attack just now so casual?
Seeing that they felt as if their souls were about to wander after listening to her truth, Zheng Quchi quickly added: "Of course, if you can give me and the weapons inspection team more time, there will definitely be better things in the future." Upgrade the cannon to make it more accurate."
"... Just now, if the Beiyuan Army and the others were not scared away..."
Fu Rong and Wei Yao looked at each other with a look of fear.
If they were not scared away, it would be their turn to flee.
"So, artillery is only an auxiliary weapon for the time being. The real key to victory lies in the compatibility between the battle fort, the army in our barracks and the new weapons, and whether the training is perfect during this period of time." Zheng Quchi said. road.
Fu Rong turned around and asked Wei Yao: "How many people are there in our Ye army?"
Wei Yao said: "About fifty thousand."
Fu Rong asked Wei Yao again: "How many people are there in the Beiyuan Army?"
Wei Yao said: "At least hundreds of thousands."
They originally thought that with lethal weapons such as artillery, they would be able to make a comeback, but they did not expect that it had a fatal flaw. In a real war, once the opponent figured out their tactics, this method would not work.
"How about we build hundreds of thousands of them, and if they are fired together, they can destroy the world."
The two began to have wild ideas.
However, Zheng Quchi sighed and had to break their wishful thinking: "Do you know why only nine artillery pieces were built? Because just these nine artillery pieces made it impossible for the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs to squeeze out any oil or water. It’s over.” (End of chapter)
