Chapter 137
Xiao Muyuan transported artillery into the city, and Dingsha City also gave a lot of support, otherwise it would be very troublesome to be discovered and attacked by the people of Beiyuan.

It was Xiao Muyuan's task to escort the artillery and the Xihe army who knew how to use artillery to Dingsha City, and Xiao Muyuan finally met another legendary general of the Dawei Dynasty.

The most legendary is none other than Xiao Tianjing, followed by the old general Shu Huanshu, and He Chu who sticks to Dingsha City.In fact, the reason why He Chu can be called a legendary general is mainly due to the number of battles with Beiyuanre, and the fact that he has held on to Dingsha City for so many years.

"Mu Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye. Yes, you have the demeanor of your father."

"General He."

"What kind of general do you call me? Just call me Uncle He." He Chu's skin is relatively dark, which is caused by long-term exposure to wind and sun, and there is a beard on his face, which looks very rough. In fact, He Chu Chu is an extremely cautious person.

"Is there a cannon behind this?"

"This is artillery. There are 24 artillery pieces in total now, but there are still too few artillery pieces. According to His Highness, there should be more than 20 artillery pieces in one city gate."

"Is this artillery really so powerful?"

"Uncle He, you'll know when you see it yourself."

"By the way, where is my Sun Zhe? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Uncle He, I thought you already knew about this. Although we defeated the 5 army brought by Mo Li, we also suffered a lot of damage. The most important thing is that the drowned people sent more than [-] reinforcements. Therefore, Now General Lin and Commander Sun are probably still involved with the people of Beiyuan."

"Another [-] people? Can you really get involved? If this artillery is really as powerful as you say, why don't you just wipe out the Beiyuan people?"

He Chu also stared wide-eyed. Obviously, he couldn't trust this cannon, and he felt sorry for the 8 people he sent out. Don't let none of them come back by then, then the number of Dingsha troops will decrease. Too much too fast.

"This artillery is indeed a powerful weapon when used to defend and attack the city. But in the wild, once the Beiyuan people get close, the artillery is of little use. And His Highness also knows that the situation in Dingsha City is urgent, so His Highness cannot wait for the Beiyuan people to attack. Once the city is over, use artillery to defend the city."

"Also, the manpower in Xihe City is too small, and the number of artillery is not large. If the Beiyuan people pretend to attack the city and actually go to another gate to attack the city, Xihe City will definitely not be able to defend it. So. We adopted a bold plan and went to the wild to involve the Beiyuan people’s military strength.”

"Forget it, I also hope to be able to hold out until the imperial court's reinforcements arrive, and then the crisis in Xihe Prefecture can be resolved."

He Chu didn't believe that this cannon alone could change the situation of the battle. The most direct way was to send people to avoid the opponent with far more people than the opponent, which could change the situation of the battle.It is unrealistic to change the situation of the battle with artillery similar to the catapult.

The artillery was sent to the gate of the city. Many Dingsha soldiers didn't know what it was, but they heard that it could help defend the city, and many people sneered at it.A lot of iron bumps, help defend the city?It's not as real as some stones and logs.

After a night's rest, the people from Beiyuan came to put pressure on them as usual the next day and prepare to attack the city.

This time, the interval has been several days, and the two sides have rested, and it is time to enter the next link.Xiao Muyuan was standing next to He Chu, indeed he looked like a young general.

"How do you use this artillery? When should you use it? You have to tell me, right?"

"The artillery has a very long range. At that time, the artillery can be used as the first line of defense to prevent the northern plains from attacking. They will tell us when they enter the range."

"General He, try this telescope."

"Binoculars, how do you use them?"

He Chu was holding a small telescope, a small thing, He Chu didn't care about it.After seeing how Xiao Muyuan used it, he started to learn it in a decent manner, but he didn't gain much, and he didn't see anything.

"General He, it's the other way around. The small one is on my side, and the big one is facing the Beiyuan people."

"Oh." He Chu didn't feel embarrassed at all. He just saw Xiao Muyuan looking at it with gusto and planned to try again. Now he could see clearly.The Beiyuan people in the distance seemed to be right in front of them, they could be seen very clearly, and the Beiyuan people's formations were also clearly visible.After taking off the telescope, you can no longer see clearly when you look into the distance.

"This thing is called a telescope?"

"Yes, it can see things in the distance as if they are right in front of you, making people see farther, that's why it's called a telescope."

He Chu didn't even expect that this gadget looked ordinary, so how could it have such a magical effect?

"Such a magical thing, where did you get it?"

"His Royal Highness Chuan gave it to him. He still has a lot. I just brought some. Now the scouts sent out by Xihe City are equipped with this telescope, which is very useful. It can be used in the distance without being discovered by the enemy. , detected useful information."

"This is a good thing, no, I have to ask Prince Chuan to send me some more, it would be better to just get a few boxes."

"General He, don't worry, it will definitely be sent to various armies in the future. His Highness will not keep such a useful thing privately."

"This group of brats are about to attack, everyone is on guard."

Xiao Muyuan did not relax, always observing, and the artillery squad was even more careful, waiting for the Beiyuan people to enter the firing range, and they were also ready to fire the first round of artillery.He raised the torch and waited for the Beiyuan people to enter the range before preparing to shoot.

The Beiyuan people approached quickly, and the artillery squad also visually measured the distance, "General Xiao, General He, have entered the range, should we start bombardment?"

"Let's get started, you just have to come by yourself, I don't really understand."

"Okay." After receiving the order, Chen Yihua, the squad leader of the artillery squad, turned around and gave the order.

"There are artillery squads, light them up."

After igniting the lead wire, there was a roaring sound soon. The sound was like a burst of thunder. He Chu, who was at the side, was still fully observing the movements of the people in Beiyuan, and was startled by the sudden sound. Jump.

"It's too loud."

However, it is not only a sound, but also powerful.Just when He Chu was complaining, the cannonball had already fallen into the crowd.There were many casualties and wailings in an instant. He Chu was extremely shocked when he saw this scene.Just this round of artillery shells destroyed the Beiyuan people's formation and caused a lot of casualties.

"This, this is the artillery? Is it so powerful?"

"General He, this is the artillery. His Highness said that this artillery and the muskets developed in the future are things that can change future wars."

"Musket, what is it?"

"It's similar to a crossbow arrow, but more powerful than a crossbow arrow. It's just that it's still being researched and invented."

While the two were talking, the artillery was quickly ready for the second round of firing.Another round of artillery bombardment caused the Beiyuan army to encounter huge resistance in an instant.

Artillery also came into play on larger battlefields and warfare, and to good effect.

"The artillery is going to show off. If our cities are defended by artillery, their siege will cause more damage. Artillery is indeed a good thing." He Chu also spoke highly of the artillery.
