After the escort returned to camp, the gate tower of Yunzhou City once again returned to its former peace.
People came and went in and out of the city gate to do business or leave.
However, the news about the victorious squadron of the escort force, King Yun's personal promise to double the reward at the city gate, and the shocking scene at the end spread quickly throughout Yunzhou City at an unreasonable speed.
The people had a heated discussion on these matters. There is no doubt that these three matters will be the top three hot topics in Yunzhou County in the near future.
After bringing the army back to the Nanyun Camp, and arranging the subsequent distribution of rewards and pensions, as well as rotation of rest for lieutenants and other important matters, Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning came to visit Prince Yun's Mansion together.
And Zhao Jun has been waiting for the two of them for a long time.
As soon as the two people reported their names, they were immediately welcomed in by the concierge, and then led by Wang Huaien who came over, they were taken to the study...
When the two came, it was almost evening. Since it got dark early in winter, candles had already been lit outside.
The two of them followed Wang Huaien and as soon as they entered the study, they saw Zhao Jun behind the large desk, who was looking at a book intently.
Under the light of the lights, the swaying candlelight hit the young man's angular face, and there was an inexplicable feeling of tranquility in the years, which made people unbearable to disturb him.
After the three people came in, they closed the door gently and waited quietly.
For a moment, the study was extremely quiet.
Only when the book is turned, the sound of turning pages will be heard from time to time.
Wow~
Another page was turned over, and the reader breathed a sigh of relief, finally put down the book in his hand and raised his head, revealing that handsome face.
"coming?"
As if it was as natural as when an acquaintance comes to visit the house, Zhao Jun looked at the two of them with a smile and asked.
Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning hurriedly stood up and saluted with their hands raised: "General, I will see you at last, the prince!"
He closed the book in his hand and turned around to put it back on the bookshelf. Under the light of the light, he could only vaguely see the words "Golden Plum" on the book.
After putting down the books, Zhao Jun turned around, waved his hands and sat back down and said, "Okay, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite. Come, Wang Banban, bring two chairs for the two commanders!"
After saying this, he greeted Wang Huaien on the side.
Wang Huai'en recalled that he immediately placed two chairs behind the two of them. After the two thanked him in a low voice, they saluted Zhao Jun again: "I will thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"
Then they carefully sat on the chair, with their backs straight and only half of their buttocks actually sitting on the chair. The two of them still didn't dare to completely relax.
Seeing that the two of them were still like this, Zhao Jun didn't say anything else. He shook his head helplessly and let the two of them go on like this.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Jun asked the two about the specific details of the battle, and the two hurriedly told them everything without missing any details.
After listening to the two people's narratives, Zhao Jun was silent for a while, and then said:
"Although we won this battle, many problems caused by the escort were also exposed, such as the mental endurance of the soldiers when facing real bloody scenes, the lack of crossbows when using long-range crossbows, and insufficient firepower. come out.
The mental endurance of the soldiers can still be improved. After this battle, I believe that most of the soldiers have been reborn and can accept the baptism of the battlefield.
As for those few, in the future military training, more tasks that require extreme courage must be arranged for them to do. Only in this way can they overcome it.
As for the crossbows, the firepower is insufficient. If there are too many enemies and they are persistent, they will be easily broken through. You don’t have to worry about this.
Since the Lian Nu was built, I have ordered the Tiangong Institute to continuously improve it.
So far, Tiangongyuan's latest achievement has been able to shoot thirty arrows at once.
It's just that the mass production technology is not yet mature, but the current improved Yunzhou Type 2 repeating crossbow, which can shoot twenty arrows at a time, has mature technology and is being put into mass production.
I believe that with the Yunzhou Type 2 replacement, the firepower of the escort army will be raised to a new level!
By then, although each person can still only carry three crossbow boxes, the firepower output capacity can be doubled!
I believe this is enough to solve the current problem of insufficient firepower, right? "
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning instantly fell into a daze.
When the Yunzhou Type 1 came out, they were shocked enough that there was such a weapon in the world.
With this continuous crossbow, their infantry will no longer be at such a disadvantage when facing cavalry.
If a group fire coverage is formed and it happens to be in a defensive state, it will be a perfect weapon for the cavalry!
But what they didn't expect was that Prince Yun actually brought out Type 2. Type 2 could actually shoot twenty arrows at once!
What is this concept?
Taking two thousand people as an example, holding a repeating crossbow and firing a volley, each of the two thousand people shoots twenty arrows, which is 40,000 crossbow arrows!
It’s enough to completely cover the range and kill as many people as it comes!
This is not enough to solve the problem of insufficient firepower. This is simply an excessive solution!
Wait, the prince just said that there is a latest research result, but it is not mass-produced yet, and it can shoot a full thirty arrows at one time!
Oh my god, how could such a terrifying weapon appear in this world? Once this weapon is mass-produced and re-dressed, who will their guards be afraid of?
Even if a dog passes by the guard camp, it will be hit by an arrow box!
Make him a hedgehog directly!
Really scary firepower, but I like it!
Both eyes lit up.
As military chiefs, they naturally hope that their soldiers can reduce casualties during the battle, and they can naturally see the importance of this weapon to the military.
The two people immediately stood up with a bang in excitement, and then knelt down on one knee with a bang.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The two of them shouted in unison.
Zhao Jun shook his head helplessly and waved his hand for the two of them to sit back.
The two looked at each other, and then sat back down again, waiting for King Yun's instructions.
Zhao Jun slowly suppressed the smile on his face and said solemnly to the two of them: "Okay, let's stop talking about the army. Although there are some flaws, I am still very satisfied with the performance of the escort this time. There is no big problem.
What I need to know now is how much do you know about this invading Tatar tribe? After we defeat them, will there be a second invasion in a short period of time? If so, what kind of preparations should we make to deal with it? "
These things need to be understood clearly, otherwise once Yunzhou County thinks that everything will be fine after winning once, but the Tatar tribe suddenly gathers a hundred thousand troops to attack, won't they be caught off guard?
How much assets will be lost by then!
Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning looked at each other, and then told the news they had received from other Hegel officers who had captured Gebatu after they failed to interrogate Gebatu on the way back.
"Your Majesty, this Tatar tribe is called the Hegel tribe. It is the largest Tatar tribe in the southern grassland of the Tatar tribe in the steppe. According to the interrogation information, their entire tribe has a population of approximately more than 200,000.
There are 50,000 soldiers among them, and this time they were all brought out by their Khan Gebatu, the one you killed during the day.
After this stop, I am afraid that less than 5,000 people went back, and there were only 5,000 soldiers for such a large tribe.
It is self-evident what will happen to other tribes on the grassland once they find out...
The two told them the information they knew one by one, and Zhao Jun listened carefully, comparing the information he got from the secret guards and extracting the information he needed.
