The two cavalrymen, Lu Fei and Lei Ming, perfectly played the role of-stirring sticks on the grassland. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The news that the army of the Great Chongqing State appeared on the grassland again almost made Chagatai bite a mouth of steel teeth.

"Flag leader, withdraw the troops!"

In the camp tent of Chagatai, a group of barbarian banner commanders knelt on the ground one after another, and their clansmen came to ask for help, and many barbarian soldiers also had no intention of fighting because of this news.

Chagatai suddenly felt a little tired at this time, he looked deeply in the direction of Cangzhou City, and suddenly felt that maybe the Golden Horde would never be able to attack this city again.

Because this is not just a city wall, but because it is a scheming King of Qi.

The previous day's manhunt had already made his army very tired, and at this time there was a problem again in the rear, with wolves in front and tigers in the back, and Chagatai had never been so desperate.

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

It's just that this voice is destined to not reach Cangzhou City.

Faced with Beishan's orders and the safety of the tribe, Chagatai was very entangled in his heart, and at this moment, the herald brought news.

"Banner leader, Beishan Taiji let us retreat to preserve our strength, and don't consume our forces on this wall."

Chagatai and the flagheads in the tent breathed a sigh of relief.

"Beshan Taiji is wise."

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

Bei Shanyuan was in Shengdu, and he did not know the situation of Cangzhou City, and learned that the attack tactics could no longer stop the construction of the new city wall, and the army of the Great Yu State was determined to defend it to the death, so he decided to save his strength and wait for the artillery to be cast.

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

After receiving Bei Shan's order, Chagatai chose to retreat without hesitation, he didn't want to throw his soldiers into the bottomless pit of Cangzhou with no end in sight.

The next time they come, they will definitely bring the firearms that make the Great Yu Kingdom tremble and burn Cangzhou City in the flames.

"Boom ......"

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

At this time, his heart was full of anger, the Golden Horde had never suffered such a great humiliation, and he secretly swore that on the day when Cangzhou City was broken, they would lead the iron cavalry to kill all the people in the fiefdom of King Qi, and be ashamed of Xue today.

At the head of Cangzhou City, looking at the slowly departing barbarian army, the soldiers cheered again, and Luo Xin excitedly asked the soldiers to celebrate with the sound of cannons to drive away the barbarian army again.

The soldiers cheered, in their eyes, the barbarians were no longer terrible, as long as there were artillery and city walls, no matter how many barbarians could no longer break through Cangzhou City, and their families would be able to live in peace behind the city walls.

It's just that Niu Ben and Xiao Ming were happy and a little worried at the same time.

"Your Highness, after repeatedly suffering losses in the face of gunpowder, the barbarians have become more and more savvy, I am afraid that they will not attack the city easily if they are not sure 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 attack in the early stage was to harass us and prevent us from building the city wall, now that we are real, he is not willing to lose his troops in vain, and there is one thing that I am most worried about, I am afraid that the barbarian artillery has made good progress, and he will retreat so calmly." ”

"Your Highness, if this is the case, it will be bad, the barbarians already have a comprehensive advantage over the Great Yu State, and at this time, with artillery, how can the Great Yu Kingdom resist the attack of the barbarians." Niu Ben worried.

Xiao Ming frowned, "This king is also worried, I don't know how the Ottoman Empire's artillery technology is?" Hey, this time I went back, it seems that we should send artillery to the forbidden army as soon as possible, but you don't have to worry, this artillery is not so easy to produce, and even if it is produced, it may not be as durable as our artillery, and without our iron mold casting method, the production of artillery is very slow, even if Bei Shan has a batch of artillery, he will immediately seek revenge on us. ”

"Wouldn't that be worse?" Niu Ben looked at Xiao Ming, who had a calm face, and was a little helpless, thinking that the catastrophe was coming, and he was not nervous.

"Hahaha......" Xiao Ming laughed, "General Niu, my new city wall was built for the barbarian artillery, and when Bei Shan comes here, he will find that this is a fortress that he will never be able to break." ”

The reinforced concrete fortress was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of World War II artillery, let alone solid shells.

Moreover, the reinforced concrete structure is made of steel bars, and even if all the concrete on the outer layer is blown away, the city wall will still not fall.

After a barbarian retreat was celebrated on the city wall, Xiao Ming organized craftsmen to continue the construction of the new city wall.

Now that the five-metre structure has been completed, the work of backfilling the soil is now on, while the carpenter continues to support the formwork and the reinforcing steel worker continues to tie the rebar.

This time the barbarians retreated, and it was impossible to come back, after all, Lu Fei and Lei Ming's sortie on the grassland had exhausted them.

Without the threat of barbarians, Xiao Ming organized craftsmen to work with all their might, and after the first layer was built five meters above, he handed over the construction work to Xu Changgui.

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

Lu Fei and Lei Ming returned to Cangzhou City after the barbarians withdrew, and this time they had a good harvest, attacking more than a dozen tribes and plundering tens of thousands of war horses.

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

And Xiao Ming thought that it was time to equip the Guanning Iron Cavalry with new weapons.

The barbarians can't compare to the Great Yu Country, after all, the barbarians have been riding horses and archery since they were children, and he can't let the Guanning Iron Horse compare with the barbarians at this point, but he prepared another weapon for the Guanning Iron Horse that is not allowed to practice for a long time - the pulley crossbow.

There are many designs for pulley crossbows in the science library, and Xiao Ming plans to produce a three-wire pulley crossbow, which can save two-thirds of the effort, so that soldiers can use crossbow arrows on horses.

Of course, Xiao Ming also thought about temporarily equipping Guan Ning Tieqi with a three-eyed firearm, but the power of this weapon is too weak, and it can only shoot three times in battle, which is far inferior to the crossbow arrows that can shoot continuously.

Although the ideal weapon configuration is a flintlock pistol, before the lathe is used for boreping, the production of hollow steel pipes is carried out by a blacksmith hammer after hammer, and the speed is very slow.
