In a short period of time, Ren Baqian poured another bullet with a combination of bullets towards the opponent, smashing the many generals who were watching at the front of the Xia army into a mosaic.
Ren Baqian didn't shoot any more when he was more than 700 meters away, and let the hundred and ten Xia soldiers run back. Everyone thought that Ren Baqian's shooting range was just like this. After all, with the strength of the soldiers in this world, even the Xia army is much stronger than the earth soldiers, and the distance with the longbow is only three or four hundred steps.
The crossbow arrows only have a range of about 100 steps, and the giant crossbows used to defend the city have a range of 800 to 1,000 steps. The Thunder Cannon just developed by the Great Xia Army can reach a range of 1,400 steps, which is already regarded as a siege weapon. .
The weapon in Ren Baqian's hands is so powerful, far superior to a crossbow, and the attack speed is even more unbelievable. The range of 1,400 steps is already extremely shocking.
Many generals of the Xia army were observing from two miles away, that is, two thousand paces away, thinking about how to break through the stockade and snatch the sharp weapon from the opponent's hand and send it back to the court, when Ren Baqian took the blame.
The Xia army was in chaos for a while, especially the many personal guards. If you know that the generals in Daxia died and the personal guards were fine, they would kill the personal guards. Therefore, as long as the general is killed in battle, the personal guards must die. The personal guards are usually treated much higher than ordinary soldiers, but it is also a situation where the generals are all prosperous and the other is damaged. Therefore, they are often extremely loyal.
Even if he died, the general would still take care of his family and provide pensions. But if the general is dead, then he will never be able to live.
At this time, the captain and several school lieutenants were caught in one pot, and the guards were all stunned, and then roared to avenge the captain.
Chaos spread from the front of the team to the back.
Ren Baqian watched with binoculars that the opponent's team began to become chaotic. First, some people shouted something in the army, and then nearly a third of the people rushed towards the stockade. Even the cannons driven by the carriages were captured by them. Get it up. The others were at a loss where they were, not knowing what to do.
"Very brave!" Ren Baqian was in awe.
Such a heroic enemy, it is better to die.
He didn't know that, in fact, he killed those people just now, but he cut off many people's lives.
This Great Xia Army is actually a regiment with a total of five battalions of 4,600 people, which is equivalent to a military post in terms of military strength.
Among them, from the highest captain to the school lieutenants of each battalion, there are more or less personal soldiers, and there are hundreds of people in total. Adding in some other instigators, more than a thousand people rushed over.
Ren Baqian unhurriedly used the scope to call names one by one. Some people ran around on the battlefield, and their bodies suddenly lost or broke into two pieces, and then some people bounced off the ground near them. dust. Such a scene is terrifying, but it also makes them even more crazy.
But their madness was only in exchange for Ren Baqian's faster shooting.
Occasionally, he didn't care about a few fish that slipped through the net. There were so many guards around, and the guards of fifty earth wheels could almost kill these Xia soldiers.
Therefore, after killing Xia Jun and shooting half of them, he ignored them, gave an order to the side, and the guards in the village jumped out from the wall and drew their steel knives to face the "heroic" Xia Jun.
Immediately there was a sound of shouting and killing around.
Some of the villagers were so eager to see in the village that they simply rushed out with their sticks. Halfway through the rush, they threw the sticks away and went to the ground to pick up weapons.
The long spears scattered on the ground, each of them carried a bundle back to the stockade, waiting to find a blacksmith to melt the tip of the spear and make a long knife, all of them smiling like sunflowers.
He just used the scope to watch the movements of the desperate soldiers who were stuffing explosives into the cannon.
After seeing them stuffing a stone ball shell into it, Ren Baqian shot and killed those soldiers.
You don't need them to light the fire, you can do it yourself.
Ren Baqian fired machine guns at those Xia Jun who didn't know whether to advance or retreat. It was much easier than serving tea to see off guests. Seeing them, they ran back.
And the battle outside the stockade has also come to an end.
Shi Hu and a group of guards were stained with blood, and kicked the corpses blocking the way aside, and each of them looked at the Daxia army who was running away with their arms folded, with a heroic look.
Leaving the gun there, someone called Shi Hu back to look at his treasure gun, while he took Lin Qiaole and a few guards to check the two cannons, and when he fell down, the Great Xia Army ran away Gone.
"My lord, do you know what this is?" Ren Baqian, a few guards, hurriedly looked at the iron pipe and asked curiously.
"Cannon!" Ren Baqian replied casually, and then checked it carefully.
The cannon looks a little ugly, with a bell mouth in the front and a thick belly in the back. I don't know what the purpose of this design is.
It is about 1.6 meters long, completely made of iron, and the whole body is dark.
The weight is estimated at more than 1,000 catties. He didn't weigh it, so he didn't know the specifics.
Take out the stone bullet inside, the diameter is about 110MM.
Putting the stone bullet back into the cannon, Ren Baqian looked for the right direction, held the binoculars in one hand, and lit the fire with the other, ready to see how far the cannon could shoot.
With a "boom", the gun body shook violently, and even the gun body and the wheels retreated a bit under the action of the recoil.
The air smelled of gunpowder.
However, the smell of the gunpowder was different from that of the gunpowder when Ren Baqian fired the gun. There was even a hint of peach flavor, which made Ren Baqian a little puzzled. God knows what the Daxia people added to the gunpowder.
"Go, find where the shells went, and find the traces." Ren Baqian pointed to the front and said, a dozen guards ran out as if they had lost their rein.
"It seems that you are similar to that?" Lin Qiaole asked.
"It's too bad." Ren Baqian looked disgusted, his face was full of you comparing my precious gun with this thing.
Although the difference is not too much in theory, in practice it is at least a few hundred years behind in development.
If Daxia is allowed to study artillery, it is hard to say whether it will reach the modern level in another thousand years.
At that time, Dayao probably would have used the Star Destroyer Cannon long ago.
Soon, the guards found the traces of the falling stone bullets. Ren Baqian followed to look at it, and calculated in his mind, it was about 1200 steps, which is about 600 meters. It is estimated that this thing can not exceed 800 meters at most.
Although it is nothing in Ren Baqian's eyes, it is considered pretty good in this era. After all, the trebuchet has a range of about 400 steps, which is equivalent to 200 meters.
Moreover, the trebuchet is more clumsy and requires more manpower to use.
This thing only needs a few people.
Although the power of this thing is not very great, it is useless to use it to break a strong city, but it is extremely easy to use it to attack such a stronghold in the wild.
The stockade with wooden fences can't stop the stone bombs at all.
And the stone bullets have appeared, presumably Daxia will soon discover that the iron bullets are more powerful.
Perhaps Daxia has already discovered it, but it has not been used for some reason.
When Ren Baqian asked the guards to pull the two cannons back to the village, the other weapons had already been collected by the villagers.
"My lord." The villager held several long knives in both hands and gave them to Ren Baqian.
"This is not bad." Ren Baqian picked the most beautiful one out of them, and it was quite heavy at first, weighing at least 20 catties.
Ren Baqian casually played with a saber, and the face of the guard beside him turned green. He watched the tip of the saber pass in front of his eyes with the sound of the wind, his whole body was covered with goose bumps, and the top of his head felt cold, so he hurriedly withdrew It's several meters away.
He made up his mind that if this lord had a weapon, he would never go to his side again.
"My lord, what about these weapons?" the guard asked.
Those villagers all looked at Ren Baqian eagerly.
These spears have become treasures in their eyes, almost two thousand spear heads are enough to make a hundred long knives, which is a huge sum of money for these villagers.
"It's all yours." Ren Baqian saw their thoughts and waved his hands.
Dayao used to be short of iron, but now he is not so iron. And the longer the time, the more weapons Dayao has. As long as another year passes, these iron weapons will not be so unattainable for these villagers.
"Thank you, sir!" Those villagers were ecstatic when they heard the words.
"Send this thing to the nearest town and ask them to send someone to the Ministry of Industry. I will write a letter in hand in a while." Ren Baqian pointed to the cannon and said to the villagers.
"Yes, my lord." After the villagers got those long spears, they looked at how kind Ren Baqian was. Not to mention that Ren Baqian had saved their village before.
Naturally respond to such trivial matters immediately.
Ren Baqian then turned on the radio and found Shi Qing online as soon as he inquired.
It feels like he doesn't do anything now, just guards next to the radio station every day, just like Taobao customer service.
Ren Baqian talked about what happened here, which shocked Shi Qing.
This Ren Baqian actually met Xia Jun again
The news is downright scary. Master Ren, don't scare us, okay? If something happens to you again, His Majesty will go crazy.
Shi Qing couldn't help but euphemistically said: "Master Ren, as long as you are safe and don't run around, it will be the greatest help to the current war... As for blocking Xia's army, there are tens of thousands of warriors from the ancient clan, so don't worry about it."
However, Ren Baqian's next news made him feel a little unbelievable. He took dozens of guards to repel thousands of Xia troops without any damage? How can it be? With one enemy against a hundred, even the guards of the earth wheel will be damaged a lot, right? After all, the Great Xia Army was not made of mud.
Ren Baqian didn't explain that much, but asked them to promptly notify all the villages outside the towns in the northern part of Lancheng to return to the nearby towns with food immediately, and burn everything else.
Afterwards, he wrote another letter to the villagers, and he asked the guards to pack up their things and prepare to leave.
Two thousand people died outside the village, so next year the land will be very fertile.
It's a pity that these villagers have to go to the towns to escape.
Presumably, the weeds here will be extremely lush in a few months.
After Ren Baqian left, as those villagers came to the town with two thousand spears, the story of the empress' husband-in-law Lord Ren killing two thousand Xia soldiers with a strange weapon began to spread in the town. Then it became five thousand, eight thousand, twenty thousand.
Ren Baqian's image also quickly changed from a flimsy little boy to a three-headed and six-armed figure with a hot wheel on his feet and a spear in his hand.
