Chapter 2428
"My lord, don't worry, this humble minister will do his best for my emperor and die!"

It was the first time for the soldiers of the Artillery Southwest Army to come into contact with them. They didn't even know what kind of weapon it was, let alone how to use it. However, the imperial court had already made preparations, so they came here. There were hundreds of excellent gunners, Thousands of elites will be carefully selected by them to train the Southwest Army.

Taking advantage of the training of the Southwest Army, Zeng Yi went back to Fengxiang City and took tens of thousands of taels of silver bills from the pockets of Jingfeng and Huaqianyuexia. The two of them didn't hesitate at all. After learning that Zeng Yi got the three-bow bed crossbow, they gave it to Zeng Yi without saying a word.

Zeng Yi who got the silver ticket regretted it very much! "I'm so happy, I knew I should have quoted a higher price!"

Back in the southwestern part of the Central Plains, the southwestern army has begun to drill and install those artillery pieces on the city wall. The southwest is different from the north and the northwest. After a series of offensives and defenses in these two places, the main battlefield today is basically Gathered to JYG and Yanmenguan.

But the southwest is different. The southwest front lacks such a grand pass. The war between the southwest army and Tubo mainly revolves around several front-line cities.

Because the Southwest Army needs to divide this batch of artillery into several parts, and each city must have a batch. Only with artillery equipment, there is definitely no way to completely replace all the three-bow bed crossbows. As far as the current situation is concerned, matching equipment is the best suitable.

Zeng Yi was not disappointed, because there were hundreds of three-bow bed crossbows replaced by artillery alone. With these alone, it would be no problem to arm the major cities in the Western Regions, let alone a Fengxiang city.

In the end, Zeng Yi took the tens of thousands of taels of silver notes and exchanged a batch of one hundred three-bow bed crossbows.After the batch of three-bow crossbows were transported back to Fengxiang City in the Western Regions, Jingfeng and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Three-bow bed crossbow, without any protection, now Jingfeng and others dare not just be naked like this, Jingfeng had no choice but to ask Zeng Yi to place an order for armor manufacturing in his blacksmith shop.Hammer really couldn't stay in the Western Regions. After helping them solve the armor problem, he left the Western Regions and returned to the capital.

Tie Hammer has made dozens of sets of armor, and he is very familiar with it. In addition to his two apprentices, he is also a very powerful foundry. With their help, Tie Hammer can build several sets of matching armor in a day.

A set of armor was produced, Jingfeng couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply sent someone to wait for the hammer, came out and sent back a set.

In this way, the number of three-bow crossbows in Fengxiang City gradually increased, and it didn't have to be so hard to face the passage of the Persian army.

The crisis in Fengxiang City was alleviated once, and the first batch of gunners of the Southwest Army on the other side were almost trained. The Southwest Army also couldn't wait to use the artillery. Let's take a look at the Tibetans who faced the artillery for the first time. how to react.

You know, the first time I came into contact with artillery, even though the instructor had told me the great power of the artillery in advance, the first time I used the artillery, I was still frightened by the huge power and the huge movement of the artillery!

The Tubo people have actually noticed the recent abnormal behavior of the Southwest Army. However, these people in Tubo don’t know about artillery, and launched another offensive against the Southwest Army. According to past experience, they advanced to the limit range of the three-bow bed crossbow.

The results are self-evident. Before the Tibetans were ready to attack, the artillery of the Southwest Army began to show its power. The huge noise resounded through the sky. The Tibetans were frightened at that time. Many ignorant Tibetans thought it was The god was angry, and many people even knelt on the ground and prayed.

Not being able to retreat immediately, the Tubo people lost the opportunity to reduce losses. Their siege equipment, under the fierce artillery attack of the Northwest Army, had already been destroyed more than half of it without firing a single shot!

It was not until several rounds of artillery fire from the Northwest Army that the commander of the Tubo Army reacted, his face was ashen, and he immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

The Northwest Army would not let go of this opportunity. Seeing the Tubo people running away in a panic, they immediately ordered troops to attack and hunt down those Tubo people.

The Tubo coach wanted to gather his troops several times to deal with the pursuit of the southwestern army, but the Tubo soldiers were frightened by the artillery and could not organize an effective defense at all. In the end, the Tubo people left tens of thousands of corpses and retreated to several places. Ten miles away.

In fact, halfway through the run, the Tubo coach thought of artillery. Although the Allied Forces of the Four Nations failed to imitate artillery, they also knew some rumors about artillery because of several naval battles. However, the Tubo people always thought that artillery was a weapon of the navy, and there was no such thing at all. Thinking that the power on land is also so huge.

The southwest army did not continue to pursue, the distance was too far, the pursuing troops were somewhat separated from the rear, and the danger would increase greatly when they went deeper, so the army stopped pursuing.

This is artillery. It was the first time to participate in this war, and the effect was unexpectedly good. It not only defeated the enemy, killed tens of thousands of enemies, but more importantly, wiped out most of Tubo's siege equipment.

The loss of personnel, Tubo gritted his teeth, and could make up for it, but the loss of siege equipment, there is no way to do it in a while, Tubo is not good at this, these siege equipment is still supported by Persia, after the loss , I can't add it myself, I have to wait for Persia to wait for support.

When the other three countries of the four-nation coalition learned about Tubo's situation, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood. The three countries gave so much support. Who knew that Tubo was simply a dou that couldn't be supported, and was defeated by the Southwest Army. , almost returned to Tubo, only to listen.

Not enough to succeed but more to fail. Tubo is like Italy during World War II. If it were not for the early alliance, the Western Xia and Persian grasslands of the other three countries would really kick Tubo out!During World War II, an artillery unit in Italy chose to surrender without firing a single shot because there was no crowbar to pry open the shell box!
In one battle, the Southwest Army completely reversed the situation.In fact, compared with Tubo's hundreds of thousands of troops, the loss of tens of thousands of people is not a serious injury at all, but the Tubo soldiers were really scared by the artillery. Even now, the Tubo coach has explained several times, and some people think that the gods are angry. Morale was extremely low, and most importantly, most of the siege equipment was lost, making it impossible for them to launch a large-scale offensive, at least in the short term.

The Southwest Army has completed the form of strategic defense to strategic offensive. In the Southwest battlefield, for a long time, the Tibetans will have to guard against the attack of the Southwest Army!
