Hai Long stretched out his arms, and the soldiers of the Sea Dragon Legion suddenly became quiet, "I think the generals of the various ministries have conveyed my meaning to you yesterday. Let me reiterate now, today, the ten most heroic warriors in the battle will Receive my personal reward. Soldiers, from the day you joined the army, you were born to protect our beautiful homeland and our loved ones. Show your greatest courage and let the enemy know that our Zhao Song Kingdom is not easy to bully Yes. The battle flag of the Sea Dragon Legion will always fly high on the land of the motherland. Fight for our ideal of defending our homeland." Hai Long's voice was high-spirited and agitated, and the rolling sound resounded in the ears of every soldier, like a lyre Like the Nine Immortals Qin, it infected the hearts of every soldier present.
"Fight for our ideal of defending our homeland—" The huge sound drowned out everything, and all the soldiers fought, raising their weapons high.
Standing beside Hai Long, Zhao Feng could clearly feel the astonishing charm exuding from Hai Long's body. Even his heart that had gone through vicissitudes couldn't help beating violently, following the soldiers and shouting slogans. Tian Qin quietly looked at Hai Long who was full of commander-in-chief, and couldn't help feeling calm in her heart, her heart was already intoxicated. But the fear deep in her heart is even deeper. These days, she has been used to living with Hai Long, and now she really can't imagine what will happen if she chooses to leave after failing to restore her appearance. If there is no Hai Long, she will become different What will it be like? I am afraid that there is no other way to escape except death.
In the distance, billowing dust and smoke rose, Zhao Feng's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Here we come. Herald, first-class semaphore." A herald standing beside him hurriedly took out two red flags, stood on the top of the city and quickly waving. The passionate soldiers of the Sea Dragon Corps obviously had been shocked by the training for a long time, and they moved quickly under the command of the semaphore. The heavy armored infantry at the front did not move, and neither did the cavalry on both sides. What changed was the 30,000 light armored infantry guarding the wooden box. They quickly gathered around the wooden box, dismantled the wooden box in two or three strokes, and the original supply personnel immediately returned to Rongyang City with the wooden box. With Zhao Feng's order, the gates of the city were immediately closed. In the face of hundreds of thousands of powerful enemies, everyone became awe-inspiring.
Hai Long stared dumbfounded at the things originally hidden in the wooden box, his eyes were full of surprises, because it was clearly a shrunken cannon! It was exactly the same as I had imagined. Even the conical shells exposed after the small wooden box at the back were disassembled were the same as what I had imagined.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said: "How is it? Your Highness, this is the surprise I gave you. At the beginning, your idea finally succeeded after several years of experiments. I really admire you. After this improvement, Not only has a lot of raw materials been saved, but also the power has not been saved much. Finally, the artillery can be used directly in any plain battle. My rank of general is awarded to me by His Majesty after I developed the movable artillery. This is all thanks to you! There are 3,000 movable cannons, the shells are divided into two parts, the latter part is boosted, and the former part is used to attack the enemy. It is launched with a spring-compressed firing pin, although it needs to be replaced every 100 times. firing pins, but no enemy can withstand the bombardment of a hundred artillery pieces! For these treasures, we have spent a lot of national power. These artillery shells alone have used up one-third of our country's annual gunpowder production. All refined iron It has been used to cast them. The only pity is that you said that we have not successfully developed the method of ejecting the shell casing. The power of the shell explosion is too great. If it ejects, it is very likely to hurt our soldiers. However, even if it does not eject Function, but it is enough. Whether it can be successful depends on today's battle. Herald, the second-level semaphore."
The red flag waved, and the light armored soldiers below began to quickly reload. As Hai Long said that day, reloading should be from the front to the back. A thick cover was opened from the back, and two soldiers lifted a shell into it. The lid is closed, and the three thousand black gun muzzles are pointing obliquely at the sky, full of chilling aura.
It was the first time Tian Qin saw such a strange thing as a cannon, she couldn't help pulling the dumbfounded Hai Long, and asked, "What is this?"
Hai Long came back to his senses, took a deep look at Zhao Feng, and praised: "You are really a talent from Zhao Song Kingdom, thank you, you have fulfilled my dream. Qin, just watch, although the other party has 300,000 cavalry army, but I think that not many of them will be able to go back alive today."
Zhao Feng took a red flag from the herald and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the honor of firing the first shot is given to you. As long as you raise the flag high and then lower it, the enemy's camp will be baptized by fire." .” Hai Long took the command flag with some excitement, and climbed to the top of the city again. That's three thousand cannons! If they show their power at the same time, how powerful it can be, even he himself dare not imagine.
The iron cavalry of Yuanmeng Kingdom advanced neatly and quickly, and the orderly dust and smoke proved their elite. Under the sunlight, their shiny armor shone, and they devoured Rongyang City like wild beasts. Tuo Chi has made up his mind, and today he will win the battle. Three thousand meters away from Rongyang City, the Yuanmeng cavalry slowed down. From both sides, more than 20 huge siege vehicles with a height of more than ten meters were pulled by the horses to block the front. There are as many as five hundred archers and elite soldiers on each siege vehicle. The total number of the first wave of teams responsible for the siege exceeded 10,000. Tuo Chi also saw the Sea Dragon Corps lined up in the city, but in his mind, the Sea Dragon Corps must be relying on the crossbow arrow machine at the top of the city, and is going to attack his own formation after the crossbow arrow machine is powerful, so he still chooses the siege engine in front, so that , with the sharp crossbow on the siege vehicle, not only can it confront the opponent's crossbow machine, but it can also bring a devastating blow to the opponent's legion.
The enemy is getting closer, Zhao Feng told Hai Long that the range of this movable artillery is about 2,500 meters. Seeing the enemy's torrent of steel, Hai Long raised the flag in his hand high.
Zhao Feng clenched his fists excitedly, whether years of research can exert its due power depends on now. He said loudly: "Your Highness, the enemy has entered the range."
The historic moment has come, Hai Long's eyes shine brightly, the command flag in his hand suddenly waved down like a bloody light, and he shouted: "Fire."
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..." Three thousand cannons made deafening roars at the same time, and three thousand fires burst out. Such a huge scene made Hai Long's blood boil. All the soldiers of Zhao Song State focused their eyes on the enemy line, they waited and waited. For a short moment, it seemed as if the previous year had passed.
The hard work will not be in vain. The Yuanmeng army that just rushed into the range is like blooming, releasing gorgeous fiery red flowers amidst even louder bangs.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..." The entire front line of Yuanmeng Kingdom has become a sea of fire. Not a single car survived the first salvo. Tuochi, who was commanding behind, hadn't had time to react, including the soldiers on the siege vehicle, at least 50,000 cavalry were destroyed under the terrifying attack power of 3,000 artillery pieces. Their originally powerful dense formation became the key to ruining their lives . The entire battlefield was full of gunpowder, including those familiar with artillery in the Sea Dragon Legion, no one thought that the power of artillery would be so powerful.
Excited and excited tears flowed down Zhao Feng's face. He stood up on the top of the wall, snatched the flag from the stunned herald, waved it quickly, and shouted angrily: "Bastard, why are you so dazed?" Hurry up and reload." Under his reminder, the second shell was loaded in just a dozen seconds. Hai Long and Zhao Feng looked at each other, and they both waved down the command flag in their hands at the same time.
The roar revived again, and three thousand death meteors drew a beautiful parabola and rushed into the enemy's embrace again. Everyone's sense of hearing has temporarily weakened a lot. In the large area of flames, without the resistance of the siege engine in front, this bombardment took the lives of nearly 70,000 iron cavalry of Yuanmeng Kingdom. Severed arms and limbs are flying all over the sky, and more than half of the 300,000 troops have been lost. This happened in just a few minutes! No one had time to react.
Zhao Feng drew out his long sword, pointed high at the sky, and shouted: "Forward." Under the escort of 40,000 heavy armored infantry and 30,000 armored cavalry, the entire battle group of the Sea Dragon Legion moved forward after filling the third shell. As the command flag was waved again, another 3,000 cannonballs pierced the sky. Fortunately, not all of Yuanmeng's cavalry were within range, and only 30,000 lives were taken away this time. However, this was enough. The courage of the Yuanmeng people had been frightened, and there was no need for Tuochi's order. The remaining cavalry turned their horses around and retreated in a panic. This was not a war at all, but a massacre! Before meeting the enemy, half of the people on our side have been swallowed by the unknown bombing. Constantly squeezing each other, the originally neat Yuanmeng iron cavalry suddenly became extremely chaotic.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Feng immediately ordered the herald to issue an order that all 40,000 heavy armored infantry and 30,000 artillerymen retreated to the front of the city, and 30,000 cavalry attacked.
Thirty thousand iron cavalry, divided into two groups, galloped at full speed like two blue dragons in an instant. They knew that the time to perform meritorious deeds had come. Facing the extremely chaotic enemy, they galloped like steel knives for a short period of time. , rushed directly into the enemy camp. The standard configuration of the iron cavalry of the Sea Dragon Legion is a long-handled war knife and a bayonet. When they rushed into the enemy camp, the leading general shouted: "Fight for the ideal of defending the homeland."
All the soldiers, with blood boiling, shouted the slogan Hai Long taught them at the same time, "Fight for the ideal of defending the homeland—" 30,000 voices seemed to come from one person's mouth, and the resounding shouts spread all over the sky. Withdrawing, the sharp long-handled saber was raised high, and it chopped off at the weakest neck of the enemy's armor.
Although there are still more than 100,000 people in Yuanmeng Kingdom, they have lost their momentum and just want to escape. They can't organize an effective counterattack at all. The iron cavalry of the Sea Dragon Legion are killing wildly like tigers entering a herd of sheep.
A cold light flashed in Hai Long's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The time to wipe out the enemy is now, General Zhao Feng, let the artillery regiment cover the whole line, and then withdraw the cavalry to give them the last blow."
Zhao Feng glanced at Hai Long and said, "Your Highness, the enemy has already begun to defeat. Our shells are very precious. If they can't be used to their full potential, we should use as little as possible. After all, each cannon is only equipped with ten shells now. , the cost of each cannonball is more than a hundred taels of silver!"
Hai Long froze, realized that shells cost money, shrugged helplessly, and said: "Then let the cavalry chase after them. After this battle, I am afraid that Yuanmeng Kingdom will no longer have the power to invade."
Zhao Feng stared deeply at the soldiers of the Sea Dragon Corps charging in the distance, and said: "I plan to lead the Sea Dragon Corps to focus on stability when the enemy retreats, and gradually take back the cities occupied by them. Therefore, our artillery shells are very precious now. , If you use one, you will lose one. Although the follow-up production is in full swing, the accuracy of shell production is extremely high, so we can’t act too hastily. At the fastest, it will take half a month to ship the first batch.”
Hai Long smiled and said: "And there is one thing you must pay attention to. Now that the mobile artillery has been exposed, you must send heavy troops to guard it, and you must not be taken advantage of by the enemy."
Zhao Feng said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can rest assured that these cannons are treasures in my heart, just like my own children. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will not let them be damaged."
Hai Long nodded and said: "That's good. With you babies, it seems that I don't need anything. I will leave here tomorrow. Qin, what's the matter with you?" Hai Long poked Tian Qin who was standing still , looking at her with concern.
Tian Qin let out a long breath, and said: "It's terrible. It turns out that ordinary people can create such a powerful weapon. Long, do you think we can be fine in front of that kind of explosive power?"
Hai Long thought for a while and said: "Although the explosive power is strong, it is not a great threat to us. Unless all the explosive power is fully concentrated, otherwise, it will not be able to hurt us."
Tian Qin nodded, and said: "But with this powerful weapon, ordinary cultivators may hardly be spared. Hey, be careful." Tian Qin suddenly pulled Hai Long, Hai Long's body tilted, a black light It passed by him silently and sank into the chest of a soldier behind him. The soldier's whole body was shaken, and before he even let out a scream, he fell limp to the ground, including his hair, completely turned into a puddle of black. water. Hai Long sucked in a breath, and such a vicious attack couldn't help causing his anger to rise sharply.
