The next day, early morning.
At the foot of Zhilan Mountain.
Lu Yuan had a piece of noodle fish in his mouth. While eating, he watched the soldiers carrying large iron buckets one by one as they began to climb the mountain.
There was a man in front carrying a big iron bucket, followed by more than a dozen people carrying explosive bags.
These people don't even carry weapons or shields.
If you often watch anti-war dramas, these two things must look very familiar.
That's right!
This is the legendary heartless cannon!
This thing is very frivolous, but not that frivolous.
It was developed because our army lacked large-caliber heavy artillery during the Liberation War.
Did you play with the Sky Monkey when you were a kid?
Yes, it has nothing to do with the Flying Monkey.
This thing is a large-caliber mortar.
But if you really want to compare in all aspects, it will naturally not be comparable to mortars.
The range of this thing is not as far as that of a mortar, but it is very powerful!
The accuracy is not as high as the mortar, but it is powerful!
Especially because of its huge size, it is difficult to adjust the angle, but it is very powerful!
The most important thing is that it is easy to explode, but it is very powerful!
The rate of fire is still slow, but it’s powerful!
The maneuverability is still poor, and it is only suitable for positional combat. It cannot move if it is buried on the ground.
But... it's powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful!
Moreover, this thing is not good, but it is compared with the mortars coming off the regular military production line.
This thing is so simple, just a big iron bucket, and then add explosives.
It's that simple.
What kind of bike do you need if it’s so simple?
During the War of Liberation, this thing played a huge role in the resistance against the United States. Here, it is even more of a dimensionality reduction blow!
Speaking of which, what is the most difficult part of suppressing bandits?
As I said before, people are hiding on the top of a mountain, relying on natural dangers.
Your regular army cannot deploy at all, and there is no advantage.
The fire blunderbuss is only about a hundred meters, and it is useless.
As for the Hongyi Cannon, a Hongyi Cannon is nothing else. The barrel alone weighs one or two thousand kilograms.
Even on flat ground, several people have to pull it from the front and push it from behind.
How do you transport it up this cliff?
The most important thing is that there is no point in transporting it up. The Hongyi cannon cannot reach the top of the mountain at its maximum elevation angle.
As I said before, either surround them or charge them head-on.
A forced charge would cause too many casualties, not to mention that it might not be possible to charge down.
Hit the high and hit the low, beat the pen down.
This sentence is definitely not just talk.
And Lu Yuan's heartless cannon, an oversized mortar, was tailor-made to fight these bandits.
It can be said that this heartless cannon was simply designed to blow up bandits hiding on the top of the mountain.
How much does a tin bucket weigh?
Less than twenty pounds.
I don’t even have a set of heavy armor yet.
And the bandit was on the top of the mountain. The place was so big, so he was bombed.
And the most important thing is that these bandits can't break out yet.
After all, the natural danger thing is like Shu in the Three Kingdoms.
It is not easy for others to get in, and it is also not easy for you to get out.
"Tell them that the fuse must be long, and after lighting it, run away and find a place to hide.
The twenty cannons were in one group, and after one group fired the second group, the three groups were ignited and reloaded, and they continued to explode in turn. "
While Lu Yuan was eating fish, he said to Lu Wenqing, who was wearing armor and looking excited.
At this time, Lu Wenqing stood at attention with an excited face and said loudly:
"yes!!"
After shouting, Lu Wenqing said excitedly:
"Then when shall we charge?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Wenqing and said with a smile:
"rush?
Rush for what? "
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Lu Wenqing was stunned.
Seeing Lu Yuan blinking, he looked at Lu Yuan and said:
"If you don't rush, how can you fight?"
Lu Yuan said with a funny face:
"Wait until they come out on their own~"
Lu Wenqing: "???"
"How could they come out?"
Lu Yuan didn't talk nonsense to Lu Wenqing, and raised his eyebrows and said:
"Why do you talk so much nonsense? Why do you still ask questions like this when you go to the battlefield?
If you continue to have so many problems, go back to the imperial city this time! "
Lu Wenqing: "..."
Lu Wenqing naturally knew that he couldn't ask questions, but this was too outrageous.
Until now, Lu Wenqing still hasn't figured out what Lu Yuan is going to do.
Or……
What do you want to do?
I have all my equipment and everything.
Just waiting to take the lead in the charge later!
If you don’t charge now, you’ll fire the cannon later?
Will that thing work?
But now Lu Wenqing didn't dare to ask, and could only say helplessly:
"As commanded."
Finally, Lu Wenqing led the people up.
About half an hour later, a deafening explosion sounded.
The echo between the mountains is very loud and can travel far.
Not only Lu Yuan could hear the explosion.
Even Lu Qing, who was three or four kilometers away, could hear it.
At this time, Lu Qing was formulating a battle plan in the camp.
Just hear a rumble in the distance.
Although it wasn't that loud, how could such a sound come from the mountains on such a sunny day?
Lu Qing looked up at the distant sky with a question mark on his face.
Where is it raining and thundering?
It sounds quite far away...
After looking at it for a while, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and then I looked down at the map again.
Then he pointed at the map and said:
"In this circle, cut out the fire break and then burn the mountain!!"
Being called smart and a good grandson since he was a child, Lu Qing is certainly not a waste.
After only two or three days here, Lu Qing came up with a solution.
Burn the mountain directly!
However, what makes Lu Qing more melancholy is that not all hills have woods.
What's more, people can also dig fire trenches inside.
All I can say is that there are more than a dozen nests of bandits on these more than ten hills, and they are ready to take advantage of them.
Lu Qing believed that with his intelligence, three months would be enough to conquer these more than ten mountains!
…
The explosion lasted for about twenty minutes.
When it stopped, Lu Yuan walked out of the tent, took out the cotton from his ears, and looked at the path up the mountain.
Soon, Lu Wenqing rushed down to look at Lu Yuan with excitement on his face and said:
“It’s done!!!
Your Majesty! ! ! Done! ! !
After blasting them for dozens of rounds, they picked up the white flag and opened the mountain gate on their own! ! "
Seeing Lu Wenqing's extremely excited look, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"I know, I know, let's see what potential you have."
"Go to the next one."
With the sound of the various elements being installed, there was a sound of release.
The next day, in the afternoon.
Lu Yuan came out of the tent after taking a nap.
He looked at the last group of bandits kneeling in front of him.
Lu Yuan knew that there were thirteen gangs of bandits who participated in robbing the official road and burning the granary.
Twelve of the nests have been captured by me!
Lu Wenqing was jumping up and down excitedly now.
Although he did not lead the charge and directly killed the bandits, at his own command, the cannons fired.
In the end, the bandits escaped in a panic, which was a very satisfying feeling.
After all, you have to know that these scenes only appear in dreams.
Now Lu Wenqing really admires Lu Yuan.
This prince is really extraordinary!
How awesome! !
These are twelve nests of bandits, twelve mountains, and twelve natural dangers! !
A total of more than 5,000 people, one day! ! !
Starting from the first litter yesterday morning and ending with the last litter this afternoon! !
Three thousand soldiers wiped out twelve groups of bandits in one day! ! !
And zero casualties! !
That is to say, seven of them were injured by the exploding cannon. It was not a serious injury!
miracle! !
This is simply God! ! !
The prince is a genius, absolutely a genius! ! !
I, Lu Wenqing, will be the prince’s dog for the rest of my life! !
