Chapter 1187 Flying Thunder Cannon

"Report!"

"Report to Commander, a team of chariots and horses came from the east under the banner of General Zhang Kuang, Marshal of Protecting the Country."

Wan Buhai was holding a silk cloth map in his hand and working out the next step of the battle with his generals. He rode with his command flag on his back and rushed forward shouting loudly!

Wan Buhai handed the silk cloth map to Cai Jun, Marquis of Rongwei, and took off the binoculars from his horseback to look towards the east.

Sure enough, in the southeast direction of the Northern Expedition Army, the flag of Longwuwei was waving in the wind, and a convoy of more than 40 carriages was escorted by more than 3000 Longwuwei soldiers and quickly came towards the Northern Expedition Army!

Wan Buhai put down the binoculars full of doubts: "This brat Zhang Kuang didn't guard Yingzhou well, why did he send three thousand soldiers to Hetao?"

"Report!"

"Commander, according to the scout contact with Brother Longwuwei, the convoy leader is General Cheng Kaicheng under the Marquis of Huguo. According to the scout brother, General Cheng Kai escorted a batch of new artillery and military equipment to Beibei. Conquer the army."

"It is said that the artillery and military equipment newly developed by Ding Guogong Liu Mingzhi can effectively attack the Turkic cavalry, greatly reducing their advantage."

"Report!"

"Report to Commander, Long Wuwei's brother."

Zhang Kuang stretched out his hand to signal the scouts not to continue talking, and waved to the generals under his command with the binoculars in his hand: "Follow me to meet General Cheng Kai of Longwuwei."

"Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is light in gifts and affection, not to mention cannons!"

"Order!"

Wan Buhai tidied up his armor and rushed towards the convoy, followed by a group of generals.

"Marshal Wan Buhai of the Northern Expedition!"

"Deputy Marshal Cai Jun."

"The Chariot General Wan Shoujiang."

"General Loyalty."

"."

"Thank you, brothers, for your support from thousands of miles away."

Cheng Kai hurriedly got off his horse and ran towards Wan Buhai and the others: "Old Duke, brothers, what are you doing? How can Cheng Kai deserve such a great gift!"

"The last general of Zhesha, brother Zhesha, please get up!"

Wan Buhai slowly straightened up and looked at Cheng Kai with a chuckle: "I already know the purpose of your visit. Now that the autumn rains are continuous, many artillery pieces have been damp, and the shells that can be fired are very small."

"To put it bluntly, the army of the Northern Expedition is about to run out of ammunition and food. If you can come to replenish the shells in time, it is just timely rain!"

"Old Duke, he is not a general, nor is he the last general, but Duke Ding accidentally learned that the current artillery has been easily guarded against by the Turkic people, so he took great pains to let the Yingzhou military builders cast new ones around the clock. Fire out."

"There are still more than 1000 hooks and sickles to resist the cavalry. The war is urgent, and there is only so much time. I hope the old Duke and the brothers of the Northern Expedition will not be disgusted."

"What are you talking about, kid? Is this old man the kind of person who doesn't know what's good or what's wrong? Even if you send me a bowl of rice, it's out of love!"

Cheng Kai nodded slightly: "Old Duke, brothers, I won't talk nonsense. I am the only one who can skillfully operate the new artillery. Now let the artillery brothers unload the artillery. After I give them the blueprint Let me explain how to use the artillery."

Wan Buhai waved to Jiang Lei without hesitation: "Jiang Lei, tell your brothers to quickly unload the cannon and get familiar with the operation as soon as possible, so as not to accidentally injure our own brothers!"

"Order!"

Jiang Lei and Cheng Kai are old acquaintances. They followed Young Master Liu to control the locust plague in Qingzhou, suppress bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, and go to the countries in the Western Regions. They are brothers who struggled together from the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.

Seeing Cheng Kai's arrival, Jiang Lei didn't want to exchange a few words, but the battle situation was urgent, so he could only gossip, the Northern Expedition was an important event.

Cheng Kai nodded at Jiang Lei with a faint smile, gave him an encouraging look, and handed the blueprint to Jiang Lei.

Jiang Lei took the drawing and nodded with his lips pursed. A smile and a look are enough to speak a thousand words, and there are not so many vulgarities among the same robes.

Jiang Lei brought his brothers, the Carrier, the Heartless Cannon and the Hook and Sickle Gun, and Cheng Kai subconsciously looked at the soldiers of the Northern Expedition who were burying the bodies of their brothers.

"Why are so many killed in battle? Could it be that you have encountered a large-scale Turkic enemy army?"

Wan Buhai and others' faces darkened when they heard this, and their moods that had just calmed down became sour again.

Wan Buhai sighed, and told Cheng Kai the ins and outs of the matter, without any concealment, and told everything in detail.

After Cheng Kai heard the cause and effect, he closed his eyes with sour eyes: "I'm confused!"

Cheng Kai staggered and walked towards the corpses of the soldiers of the Qianfeng Battalion holding the knife. Wan Buhai and the others had no choice but to follow because they didn't know.

Cheng Kai glanced at the body being buried, and sighed with red eyes: "Why is this, why is this! What if the food and grass arrive in time? You died bravely, but have you ever thought about what will happen to your wives and children at home? manage?"

Wan Buhai walked to Cheng Kai's side with a melancholy expression: "The old man persuaded me, it's better to go back with an injury than to go back home, but the old man can't persuade me!"

"They went on and on and forced the old man to give him a gift, and the old man's heart was bleeding and there was nothing he could do."

"There are more than 1 people, and half a day is gone."

"They exchanged their lives for more than 1 war horses. It was the old man who was ashamed of their families and brought them out but did not bring them back."

"If their family members ask this old man, why didn't their son, husband, and father come back safely!"

"Even if the old man apologizes with death, it is not a pity to die!"

"The youngest of them is only 17 years old, and they went to war as soon as they got married, and the oldest are in their early forties!"

"Whose sons are they, whose husbands are they, whose fathers are they, whose grandfathers are they?"

Wan Buhai burst into tears as he talked, it's good not to mention the sad things, but even a tough man couldn't help but burst into tears.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

Cheng Kai didn't have the slightest contempt when he saw Wan Buhai's tearful appearance. He had seen this situation once with the commander Liu Mingzhi.

The Long March has not yet been returned, and only comrades who have been born and died can understand the bitterness!
"Report, General Jiang Lei has finished deploying the artillery."

Wan Buhai wiped the tears on his face and let out a sigh of relief: "Cheng Kai, let's go over and see if there are any deficiencies!"

"Old Duke, please!"

Wan Buhai strode towards the position where the artillery was deployed, raised his arms and shouted: "Beat the drums and gather together, let the brothers join forces and get familiar with the new artillery, so don't die in the hands of your brothers." !"

"Order!"

"The commander-in-chief has orders, line up and join forces!"

After a few cups of tea, the 20 Northern Expeditionary Army lined up according to their own formation, and after a while, they joined forces.

"General Cheng, can you see if there is any problem with the usage of these thirty new cannons?"

Jiang Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking expectantly at Cheng Kai who rushed over.

Wan Buhai and other generals also looked at the refurbished cannon buried in the soil in astonishment, not why the cannon barrel was buried in the ground, but the size of the cannon barrel was too big.

Compared with the original fifty cannons, the barrels of these thirty unscrupulous cannons can match the original four and are slightly larger.

Cheng Kaizai bent down and inspected every unconscionable cannon carefully. He was too aware of the power of these cannons, so he had to be careful.

The air waves from the explosion in the distance can blow people up enough. If they make a mistake and fall around their brothers, then they will be the biggest contributors.

But he is the hero of Western Turks and the sinner of Dalong.

"Jiang Lei, have the primer and shells been placed in the order on the blueprint?"

Jiang Lei nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, General Cheng, the general knows the power of the artillery, so how dare you be careless, every artillery is fired in order."

Cheng Kai glanced at the surrounding environment and nodded to Wan Buhai: "Old Duke, it's time to fire!"

"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

Cheng Kai thought for a while: "Jiang Lei, order the brothers to retreat thirty steps immediately after lighting the fire!"

"Order!"

Jiang Lei waved the command flag in his hand: "After igniting the fire, quickly retreat [-] steps, and the [-] cannons will fire in volley, ignite!"

"Fizz."

The fuse burned, and the artillery soldiers immediately ran back holding the torches. After a distance of less than thirty steps, the ground trembled, which was stronger than the tremor of thousands of galloping horses.

Compared with the deafening sound of the artillery before, the movement of the thirty unconscionable cannons was much duller.

"boom"

130 steps away, dust and smoke billowed from about 150 meters to 200 meters away in the later generations, and the smoke rose into the sky.

A gust of wind hit, making the people standing at the front almost unsteady, and the flags whistled loudly.

The explosion range of the cannonballs is even more random without the slightest pattern!

The smoke and dust dissipated, and everyone stared dumbfounded at the gully not far away for a long time unable to recover.

Cheng Kai let out a sigh of relief: "Old Duke, Ding Guogong said that time is urgent and there is no time to test the bracket, so we can only bury it in the ground in the most stupid way!"

"Dinggong asked the general to tell the old duke a word, and the old duke must remember it in his heart!"

Wan Buhai nodded in astonishment: "Say!"

"Brothers must not attack before the shells have exploded. If you have to charge, you must discuss with the artillery in advance, and go out of the range of the shells!"

"Because no one knows where these heartless things will end up!"

"The old man must keep in mind, what are these cannons called?"

"Unconscionable cannon, or flying thunder cannon!"
