Chapter 603(2/2)

Li Liang echoed, "You will order the two wings to be on guard later and prepare more rockets, and then order the artillery battalion to assemble the artillery carriages brigade by brigade... Remember not to rush for quick success to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity..."

"You will finally understand!"

Zhang Xinyi clasped his fists and just went down to deliver the order when he heard Li Liang explain: "While the enemy cavalry has not set up a formation and cut off their retreat, first send Tang cavalry to Li Shi to deliver the order and order him to hold the camp. Without our military orders,

Never leave the stronghold to meet the enemy..."

Zhang Xinyi respectfully accepted the promise and went downstairs.

Just a moment later, there was another clanging sound in the formation. The artilleryman swung the hammer, lifted the cannon out of the ground, and mounted it on the artillery cart.

In fact, it is a small unicycle with an extremely simple structure: a plate about three feet in diameter, covered with steel armor to prevent it from being shattered by excessive recoil and to provide counterweight.

There are not many parts, just two steel-clad wooden clamps, one end is set on the bottom of the board, and the other end has a groove, which is buckled on both sides of the axle, and then the latches are inserted, and the wheelbarrow is formed.

Small holes are drilled into the base frame of the gun and the vehicle plate, which are still connected with bolts and then locked with steel wires.

The three artillerymen can crouch down and assemble the artillery in less than two moments. Then, either by people pushing it, or by attaching the cart to the tail of the mules and horses, the soldiers only need to control the balance behind...

Luo Jian couldn't understand it again.

All the armored cavalry from the fifth battalion of the town army came out, making it clear that they wanted to cut off Li Liang's retreat. Why was Li Liang not in a hurry?

According to common sense, Li Liang would never turn a blind eye or turn a blind eye. Regardless of the rest, his total military strength is only 50% of his own. How dare he sit back and watch being divided and surrounded?

At least he should have sent his cavalry to fight and not have the town army set up a formation to the west of his formation. But he had better do it and let the infantry play with something like an iron cylinder?

What is the use of this iron cylinder?

Just as he was secretly guessing, his grandson Luo Ping leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice: "Captain, do you remember that three years ago, Li Chengzhi led his lone army northward and sneaked into Woye Town, and then he only led more than a hundred troops, and he was defeated in one night. Defeat the Lu brothers and put an end to the old affairs in Woye?"

It was that battle that made Luo Jian shocked that Li Chengzhi was a man of heaven. How could he forget it?

"It's straightforward, why bother?"

Luo Jian snorted coldly, but then suddenly froze, as if he was frozen.

After Luo Ping reminded him, he suddenly remembered: Li Chengzhi used the white dragon fish suit to pacify the night of Woye. In addition to the thunder weapon, he also used a firearm.

He didn't know what it was, but he knew it in detail: it was about the thickness of a child's arm, shaped like a bamboo tube, but made of iron. It could shoot fireworks up to three to five feet high, with sparks shooting out and shining like shooting stars.

But remember, this thing has no effect on killing enemies. At most, it can be used to scare people or war horses?

If that's the case, at worst, we don't need cavalry when charging into battle, but just use armored cavalry. What can we do to me?

Although he was thinking like this, Luo Jian felt a little uneasy in his heart: he always felt that this thing must be extremely terrifying, and nine times out of ten it would be as good as the flying thunder thrown by the cannon truck.

Otherwise, the enemy general would not be so careful about what he did, let alone watch the enemy cavalry cut off his retreat but remain indifferent and only concentrate on using this weapon.

"Luo Ping!"

"Please give me the command, Governor!"

"Send the armored cavalry again to test the formation in front of the enemy. No matter what, we must find out the use of this thing!"

"promise!"

Luo Ping responded, and bravely asked, "May I ask the governor, what if the enemy still sends armored cavalry to fight, or uses rockets to block it?"

Luo Jian did not respond, but his face suddenly sank.

Luo Ping just thought he was annoyed and said anxiously: "I am in a humble position and I am in a hurry. I hope the governor will forgive me!"

Seeing him wave his sleeve impatiently, he quickly retreated.

But Luo Jian sighed secretly: If it is as Luo Ping expected, I am afraid there will be big trouble.
