526 Battle of the Cannons 2
Jalari pulled the twelve cast-iron cannons back. After looking at the camp for a long time, he didn’t see anything famous. He knew that the iron ball was placed in the barrel, but he didn’t know how to put the iron. When the ball was launched, there was a small hole in the cannon with a lead inserted into it.
After unplugging the fuse, he saw some black powder at the root. It was estimated that there was something in the cannon. Then he asked the soldiers to find a wooden stick and put the stick in the barrel to measure the depth. , And then measured the outside again. After confirming that there was something inside, the soldiers used iron hooks to hook out the cotton cloth stuck in the gun barrel, and finally tilted the muzzle down, which finally poured out the gunpowder.
Everything came out, but he just didn’t quite understand it. Then he asked the soldiers to pull a gun cart over and let them light the fuse. With an explosion, he understood that it was these black ones. The granular powder gave this iron ball weighing three kilograms power.
"Amui, send these iron guys to the southern camp and give them to Commander Akberinamu. He would be very happy if he knew we got these weapons."
Amui is one of his most powerful generals. The few cavalry he has here are led by him. The cavalry sent by Bomian Tai'an is also in command of him. This shows how much he is favored. Larry is serious.
After holding his chest with both hands, Amui said: "General Jalari, I will complete the task."
"Hurry up and take the cavalry. Don't waste time. Remember, you have to go around their fortress."
"I will do what you want."
Just as Amui was about to take 10,000 cavalry to escort the twelve iron cannons to leave, the horse inspector sent a message back, saying that the Huoxing troops were heading to the fortress in the southwest. The number was small, only 3,000, but This is enough to convince Jalari that the other party wants to take back these weapons.
In this case, he might be able to eliminate Huoxun’s army a little more by the way. Once he had this idea, he quickly stopped Amui, and then called a team of scouts to visit the main camp and report back, as long as he The army from here and the main camp can still be rewarded.
In the main food camp outside South City, Akberinamu was very happy to learn about the situation. For him, this weapon was better than anything else. To put it bluntly, even if Huoxun was beaten down, it was nothing more than going out. It's just a tone, and it doesn't have any substantial meaning, but it's different now. The weapon has already been obtained, and even if he can't fight Huoxun, he still has a lot of merit. But as soon as Huoxun was knocked down, the entire weapon manufacturing and craftsmanship were immediately obtained, which was much faster than letting people go and fumble them.

After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind and asked Bomiya Tai'an to transfer 10,000 cavalry back, and informed the four battalions of the besieged city to start attacking Hanhai City. Leave the fortress alone, just send troops to the fortress. Naturally, his purpose is not to let Huoxun's forces gather, so that he can solve those Huoxun people who want to grab their weapons.
In the afternoon, on the outpost of the bastion, the guard soldiers had already seen the massing of the food army on both sides of the southwest, and they planned to attack Hanhai City directly. And there is a cavalry army coming here, the number is still quite large.
After learning the news, Heizi asked with great perplexity: "Young Master, what do they mean by this? Are you afraid that we will gather an army?"
After thinking for a while, Li You said, "I'm afraid this is really the case, but I don't quite understand it. They should be able to calculate that I have 5,000 people here. Even if we lose support, we should say that we beat them tens of thousands. There is no problem with the cavalry, but why do they have to come here in such broad daylight?"
After listening to Li You's words, Zhang Da said casually: "It is estimated that their combat strength is far more than tens of thousands."
Li You nodded. This explanation absolutely makes sense. Otherwise, don't go out to grab the artillery, or bet on whether you can use 5,000 people against 20,000 to 30,000 people, and there are really not that many now. Time for Li You to think.
However, Li You knows one thing very well. Artillery doesn't make much sense to him. It really makes sense to keep enough soldiers. Thinking of this, Li You said: "Forget it, don't worry about these cannons, let's go south and return to the city."
"Young Master, really forget it? It's useless for us to go back."
Li You said, "Heizi, why is it useless? When we return to the city, they may not attack the city. The siege is the scheduled time, but if the order is cancelled now, when do you think Beicheng will receive the news? They will We will receive news at the latest. Once so, we will have a chance to take down the food army in the north of the city. As long as they are taken down, the crisis here will be over. They will retreat and use twelve cannons. It is absolutely worthwhile to retreat in exchange for the food army. Okay, now everyone is leaving now."
Afterwards, Li You hurried back to the city with three thousand people. When the horror of the food sent back the news of the three thousand people returning to the city, Akberinamu actually ordered the fourth battalion to withdraw and continue the siege. But Li You wouldn't just wait like that. As soon as he returned to the city, he began to assemble the army. Anyway, the big camp was in the north city.
Li You hadn't assembled the army here yet, so Lingbing passed the news that the food army in the south of the city had retreated. This news really made Li You and the others happy.
Immediately, Li You said to Heizi: "You quickly send people to the two bastions in the northwest and northeast, and let them send one thousand troops to cooperate with our attack."
"I know the young master, I will make arrangements."
Li You said to Zhang Da, "Zhang Da, go and look on the wall to see if the food army in the north camp is still preparing to attack the city?"
"Okay, go here for the little one." After holding a fist, Zhang Da ran away.
Then Li You said to Tanzburg: "General Tanzburg, this battle is very important. I need more manpower. How many people can you deploy to defend the city?"
"Most are protected. We have only five thousand people guarding the city. I can send three thousand people."
Li You nodded and said: "Okay, after you are assembled, you can go to the battle. This time I hope it depends on the first battle."
There were more than 11 thousand people gathered in the camp. This was the largest force Li Youneng dispatched at one time. With the addition of 3,000 people from Tanzberg and 2,000 people from two bastions, the total force for this battle was also There are only 16,000 people, and it is completely possible to fight 20,000.
Just when the food army in the north of the city was less than one mile away from Hanhai City, they stopped, and the people who sent the order came and told them to stop attacking. At this moment, the two gates of Hanhai City’s north were all opened, more than ten thousand. The cavalry rushed out. This situation made the food army a bit at a loss. Their leading generals were still newly deployed. Their morale was low when Sarabaddi and others were killed in the bombing yesterday. Now, let’s talk. Fighting with Huoxunren like this, it seems that they don't have such confidence. (End of this chapter)
