After completely controlling Dongwang City, the Western Fifth Army was busy, first settling the wounded and prisoners, and then dealing with the corpses and collecting the spoils.
Due to the severe cold on the Cerrovomen Plain, fire magic was difficult to use, and the bodies of orcs and humans had to be buried on the spot.
Yang Yu did not rest. Staying up all night was a common occurrence for him. Now he was calling Iyas and the others to search around to see if there were any hidden tasks that could be triggered.
The failure of the Rose Empire's cannons was no accident.
When he heard the retreat bell, Piruf was obviously a little surprised.
In all likelihood, someone rang the bell before Piluf gave the order, and Piluf simply took advantage of the bell to retreat.
After becoming the temporary governor, Yang Yu was able to learn more confidential information.
He also heard a little about what was happening in the rear of the Rose Empire.
Combining what happened in the past two days, Yang Yu can basically be 100% sure that someone in the Rose Empire army is helping Wansheng Kingdom.
Whether it is the peace faction of the Rose Empire or something else, it cannot be confirmed yet.
But no matter what it is, as long as you can find clues and follow the leads, you will most likely get a well-paid task.
Since the problem is with the cannon, let's start the investigation from the cannon.
After obtaining the consent of Luhua Army and saying that they wanted to investigate the cannon, Yang Yu and his men climbed up the city wall.
Standing near the three-meter-high cannon, Iyas once again felt the unique creativity of human beings.
"Is this the cannon that just bombarded us? Relying on such a prop, it actually launched such an attack! There are still so many on the city wall. Fortunately, they ran out of fire halfway, otherwise it would definitely be a tough battle."
Iyas stretched out her finger tremblingly and gently touched the body of the black cannon.
The moment she touched it, Iyas's trepidation turned into joy, just like a child who sees a toy he likes but cannot afford, and finally touches it with the merchant's permission.
Yang Yu leaned against the fence where the ammunition was being loaded and glanced at Iyas. "I know how you feel. I'll have plenty of time to touch you as much as you want. Tell me, do you feel anything?"
Iyas coughed awkwardly, placed his palm flat on the cannon, and felt it for a while before answering affirmatively:
"No, nothing."
"Yeah?"
Yang Yu was not surprised by Iyas's answer, and then began to observe the cannon carefully.
Not long after, Yang Yu discovered an awkward gap on the right side of the root of the cannon barrel.
With a gentle push, a gray screen and several buttons appeared under the gap.
At first glance, it is somewhat similar to the digital machine tool control buttons that Yang Yu operated during his internship in college.
To use it, just call the program and enter the parameters to start working.
Holy shit, are humans in this world already able to create something like this
No, is this game deliberately designed like this to make it easier for players to operate cannons
Yang Yu was very surprised. After a round of attempts, he found the power button, which contained a set of input programs and parameters, and it was the shell that had not been fired just now.
However, Yang Yu could not understand the words above, which meant that these words were not the common language of this world.
So that's why. Now I understand why the Rose Empire is not worried about these cannons falling into the hands of orcs.
If these cannons are really all driven by programs as I thought, and one program is input with each shot, then orcs who have no cognition and have not received a certain amount of training will not be able to master the cannons fundamentally.
It's like a man in his seventies or eighties who just got a smart phone and has no idea where to start.
No matter what, the people of the Rose Empire can't produce advanced products like touch screens, right
Thinking of this, Yang Yu's hand touched the screen. With a loud bang, a black shell was fired from the barrel, hitting the field and causing a huge explosion.
When the Wansheng soldiers who were performing various tasks heard the artillery fire, they immediately became nervous and at a loss.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Huajun ran to the top of the wall, only to see Yang Yu and his companions bending down to check the shells.
"What happened? Did you fire that shell just now? Are you capable of repairing the cannon?"
"The cannon doesn't need to be repaired." Yang Yu stood up and smiled meaningfully, "But I can tell you clearly now that there is no problem with the cannon.
The problem is the shells.
There was some impurity mixed into the shells.”
"What's the meaning?"
"It's just like what it means. It looks like ghosts, or ghost fragments. Those things jammed the cannon's program."
Lu Huajun was confused and had no idea what Yang Yu was talking about.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I don't know how they did it. All you need to know is that the cannon is fine, but the shells are defective."
"Then, if we change a batch of shells, will we be able to use the cannon normally?"
"In theory, yes. You don't even need to change the shells, you just need to find a way to remove the impurities.
Unfortunately, the reason we were able to fire the shells just now was because we randomly triggered the shells they had prepared. We were just lucky.
Without knowing how to operate them, we cannot expect these cannons to become a fighting force."
In order to solve Lu Huajun's problem, Yang Yu could only go against his conscience and say that he was lucky.
"Really? That's a pity.
This time, you and your troops have made another contribution.
Let me talk about what happened before. I never thought you could hold General Piruf in check. He is a person that even I find difficult to deal with."
White smoke slowly rose from the pipe, and Lu Huajun did not hesitate to express his admiration.
“But don’t be proud of it.
Due to your recent outstanding performance, you will most likely be targeted by the Rose Empire.
Especially since you touched their cannon, you have to be careful next time.
There are many young people like you who died on the battlefield just when they were about to show their talents.
I don’t want to see this tragedy happen again.”
Yang Yu smiled and said modestly: "I will keep the general's words in mind. I will be careful. This time, it was because the team the general sent to me was very good that I had the opportunity to contain them."
"Don't bother with that. Flattery won't work on me."
Lu Huajun took a puff of his cigarette.
"Our army has always spoken with strength. Judging from this battle, the word "temporary" in your title of temporary governor can be removed.
You have gathered many excellent talents in your team. Please make good use of them and you can go further. "
After Lu Huajun finished speaking, Yang Yu's war mission changed, his military rank was promoted, and he officially became the commander-in-chief.
Without saying anything, Yang Yu immediately received the reward and drew all the prizes. Unfortunately, his prize draws were still so heartwarming, with all kinds of snacks, toys, and books.
The most valuable item Yang Yu won in this lottery was a repeater, which also came with a tape of English Level 4 from a certain era. It seemed that as long as he pressed the button of the repeater, a voice would come out of it saying "The price of the shirt is nine pounds and fifteen pence."
