Iron Dynasty

Chapter 261: Crossbow Cavalry

The two cavalrymen, Lu Fei and Lei Ming, played the role of dung-cutter on the grassland.

The news that the army of the Republic of Chongqing appeared again on the grassland almost caused Chagatai to bite a steel tooth.

"Head of the flag, withdraw troops!"

In the camp of Chagatai, a group of barbarian flag captains knelt to the ground, and their clansmen came to ask for help. At this time, many barbarian soldiers were unwilling to fight because of this news.

Chagatai was suddenly tired at this time. He looked deeply at the direction of Cangzhou City, and suddenly felt that maybe the Golden Horde could no longer break through this city.

Because this is not just a city wall, but because there is a scheming king of Qi.

The search a few days ago had made his army very tired. At this time, there was another problem in the rear. There were wolves before and tigers behind, and Chagatai had never been so desperate.

"King Qi, have the ability to go out of the city to fight with us on the grassland, you cowards of the Great Yu Kingdom!" Chagatai roared hysterically in the camp.

It's just that this voice is destined not to reach the city of Cangzhou.

Facing Bei Shan's order and the safety of the tribe, Chagatai was very entangled in his heart. At this moment, Lingbing brought news.

"Head of the flag, Beshantaiji asked us to retreat to preserve our strength, and don't consume our forces on this city wall."

Chagatai and the group of flags in the account heaved a sigh of relief.

"Bei Shantai Ji Yingming."

Chagatai placed his hand on his right chest and bowed in the direction of Shengdu.

Bei Shanyuan was in Shengdu and didn't know the situation in Cangzhou City. He learned that the harassment tactics could no longer prevent the construction of the new city wall, and the army of the Great Yu Kingdom showed a determination to defend to the death. He decided to save strength under his weight. Waiting for the artillery to be cast.

In his opinion, the new city wall just needs to consume more artillery shells, and his army fights once less once.

With Bei Shan's order, Chagatai chose to retreat without hesitation. He didn't want to throw his soldiers into the bottomless pit of Cangzhou, which is invisible.

When they come again next time, they will surely set the city of Cangzhou torch in the flames with the firearms that make the country tremble.

"Boom..."

When Chagatai led the army to retreat, the cannons fired again at the head of Cangzhou City, and Chagatai looked back, which seemed to be a mockery of him.

At this time, his heart was raging, and the Golden Horde had never encountered such a big humiliation. He secretly vowed that when Cangzhou City was broken, they would lead the iron cavalry to kill everyone in the Qi king's fief. Erjing, Yixue's shame today.

At the head of the city of Cangzhou, looking at the barbarian army slowly leaving, the soldiers cheered again, Luo Xin excitedly let the soldiers use cannons to celebrate once again driving away the barbarian army.

The soldiers cheered. In their eyes, the barbarians are no longer scary. As long as there are artillery and city walls, no matter how many barbarians can break Cangzhou City, their families will be able to live safely behind the walls.

It's just that Niu Ben and Xiao Ming are also a little worried happily.

"His Royal Highness, repeatedly suffered from the gunpowder, the barbarians have become more and more savvy, I am afraid that they will not attack the city easily in the future," Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming nodded, "The sudden retreat of the blood wolf tribe must be Bei Shan's order. The main harassment in the early stage was to prevent us from building the city wall. Now that we are real, he is not willing to lose the army in vain. There is another thing I worry about the most. , I am afraid that the barbarian's artillery has made good progress, so he will retreat so calmly."

"His Royal Highness, if this is the case, it would be bad. The barbarians already have a comprehensive advantage over the country of Da Yu. At this time, with artillery, how can the country of Da Yu resist the attack of the barbarians?" Niu Ben worried.

Xiao Ming frowned, "This king is also worried. I don't know what the artillery technology of the Ottoman Empire is? Hey, this time I go back, it seems that we need to send artillery to the Forbidden Army as soon as possible, but you don't have to worry, this artillery is not. It is so easy to produce. Even if it is produced, it is not necessarily as durable as our artillery. Moreover, without our iron mold casting method, the production of artillery is very slow. Even if Beishan has a batch of artillery, he will immediately seek revenge from us."

"Isn't this worse." Niu Ben looked at Xiao Ming with a calm face, rather helpless, thinking that the disaster was imminent, he was not nervous.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Ming laughed, "General Niu, my new city wall is built for the barbarian artillery. When Bei Shan comes here, he will find that this is a building he can never break. Fortress."

This reinforced concrete fort was strong enough to withstand artillery bombing during World War II, let alone resist solid bullets.

Moreover, the reinforced concrete structure is based on steel bars. Even if all the concrete on the outer layer is blown up, the city walls will still not fall.

Celebrating a barbarian retreat on the wall, Xiao Ming organized craftsmen to continue the construction of the new wall.

Now the five-meter structure on the ground has been completed, and the work of backfilling the soil is below, while the carpenter continues to support the formwork, and the reinforcement worker continues to tie the reinforcement.

This time the barbarian retreats, it is impossible to come back, after all, Lu Fei and Thunder's attack on the grassland has made them exhausted.

Without the threat of the barbarians, Xiao Ming organized the craftsmen to work hard. After the first floor was built five meters above, he handed over the construction work to Xu Changgui.

During this time, he had explained the drawings clearly to Xu Changgui, and how to construct Xu Changgui was also clear, and the rest is the practice.

Lu Fei and Lei Ming returned to Cangzhou City after the barbarian withdrew. This time they had a good harvest. They attacked a dozen tribes and looted tens of thousands of horses. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

At this time, Guanning cavalry can be expanded by about 3,000 people, so that the number of Guanning cavalry is basically 8,000.

And Xiao Ming thought that it was time to equip Guan Ning's cavalry with new weapons.

Barbarians can’t compare with riding and shooting in Da Yu. After all, the Barbarians have been riding and archery since they were young. He can’t compare Guan Ning's cavalry with the Barbarians, but he has prepared another kind for Guan Ning's cavalry that does not require long practice. The weapon-pulley crossbow.

There are many designs of pulley crossbows in the science and technology library. Xiao Ming plans to produce a three-wire pulley crossbow, which can save two-thirds of the effort. In this way, soldiers can use the crossbow immediately.

Of course, Xiao Ming also thought about temporarily equipping Guan Ning's cavalry with three-eyed fire blunders, but the power of this weapon is too weak, and it can't shoot three shots before a battle, far inferior to the continuous shooting of crossbow arrows.

Although the most ideal weapon configuration is a flintlock, but before there is no lathe for boring, the production of hollow steel pipes depends on the blacksmith's hammer and hammer, and the speed is very slow.
