This is not Wang Mi's ruthlessness, this is the most normal battle on the battlefield. Just now, wasn't the Qiang soldiers' offensive also very fierce?

Taking advantage of the advantage of the warship, they stood on the boat and kept firing arrows towards the river bank. At the same time, the cavalry troops also cooperated. To be honest, if it were not for the support of firearms, the wave of offensive just now would have been replaced by

The Beifu soldiers in the past could no longer hold on any longer and were about to be driven back!

Therefore, now that the Jin army has finally come up with its big killer weapon, the Qiang soldiers do not have to think that they have suffered from the iteration of weapons.

This is all just a cycle of cause and effect.

Bang bang bang!

Several artillery shells landed on the Qiang soldiers' chartered boat one after another. They were completely unprepared for such an attack and were very unfamiliar.

For many people, shells had already flown towards them, but they just stared at them, not even daring to move.

I don't know what I should do either.

I even forgot to avoid it.

So, when the heavy solid projectiles fell on them, the ending that awaited them was imaginable.

Although the solid projectiles in ancient times were very lethal, at least much more powerful than other weapons, they were still far behind modern cannonballs filled with gunpowder.

However, this type of ammunition also has another advantage, that is, when the projectile flies out of the barrel at high speed, it will also bring out a large number of sparks.

In fact, the attack power of those solid cannonballs is just average, and there is no special hope.

After all, the best they can do is smash a hole in the treasure ship, let water enter the hull, and continue to sink.

This kind of attack is still relatively slow and cannot achieve the effect of hitting the enemy with a single hit and giving the enemy a devastating blow.

What's more, although the artillery of this era already has aiming equipment such as crosshairs, the accuracy is still much worse.

It might be okay to hit large targets like treasure ships, but small targets are basically difficult to hit with one shot.

Of course, the so-called hit is probably just that it hit the window, it hit the mast, it hit the side of the ship, it hit the bottom of the ship.

I can only make do with it.

What Wang Mi is counting on are those sizzling sparks. You see, as long as there are sparks, there is fire.

As long as there is fire, what is there to be afraid of?

When it touched those strong wooden boards, it burned instantly!

Once the time comes, the fire will be uncontrollable!

Those treasure ships were just piles of scrap wood and could no longer serve any purpose. But what about the people on the treasure ships?

Of course they dispersed in a hurry!

Is there still a way to survive?

After a few rounds of artillery fire, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.

No matter how powerful the horse is, no matter how good the archer is, they can only be defeated in front of the artillery. The gap is too far.

I can't blame them for this.

"Okay! It's time to close the team!"

Wei Yongzhi received the order and moved the red cannon to the back of the queue. This time the attack consumed a total of thirteen shells and sank two enemy treasure ships.

No matter what era it is in, this can be regarded as an impressive achievement.

That’s it.

It's time to go back and rest. The red artillery has completed its mission. Next, you can continue to rely on conventional troops to clean up the battlefield.

This was Wang Mi's initial thought. Although he had been busy preparing for several months, it must be said that the overall arrangement was still a bit hasty.

The main thing is weapons and artillery, I always feel that it is not enough, and it is still not enough.

Even the craftsmen from Jingzhou, the local craftsmen in Jingkou, and the general workshop in Jiankang City are all working overtime and manufacturing day and night. However, compared with the huge consumption that will usher in,

In the end it's still not enough.

The main thing is that artillery is like this. If there is a surplus, then the principle of fire coverage can be implemented to carry out brutal and inhumane attacks on the enemy.

The gunpowder consumption has increased all of a sudden. No matter how much you have stored now, if you don't have enough artillery, then you can only use it sparingly. That doesn't mean you can't win, you can win.

Yes, but, you know, I don’t have that much money. How can I be happy when fighting?

It was simply heart-wrenching and uncomfortable!

Therefore, at this moment of his debut, Wang Mi could only ask his subordinates to set an example and be a little frugal, otherwise, in the subsequent battle, the artillery would really be insufficient, and it would be useless to worry at that time.

Saving money now probably means that when they attack Chang'an City, they can use their artillery to their heart's content and let Yao Qiang's remaining forces have a taste of the hot red cannon.

No matter what happens in the future, today's battle can only be fought here.

As the sky grew dark, He Wuji led his men and simply gathered together all the weapons and armor that could be collected along both sides of the river, and sent people to count them. Liu Muzhi was responsible for recording. Everything was operating in an orderly and efficient manner.

.

Liu Yu and Liu Jinu, the top generals beside Wang Mi, are also sitting next to him. Since the war started, they have not found a chance to play.

Now he is anxious because of pain in his back, butt and head.

"Slave, don't worry, I won't forget you when you come on stage."

"Your Majesty's words are serious. Please follow your Majesty's orders and you will definitely obey your orders."

Of course, a general like Liu Yu, a fierce general, cannot be betrayed so quickly before the critical moment. Besides, under Liu Yu, there are He Wuji, Wei Yongzhi and others, all of whom are also tigers and wolves.

After finally waiting for the opportunity of the Northern Expedition, everyone knew that this was a big battle that would determine the outcome.

If you want to make achievements, if you want to get addicted to big battles, this is the best time. If you miss it, you don’t know when you will get another chance.

Aren’t you all waiting to go on stage and try your skills?

What's more, compared with Liu Yu, these good brothers have indeed fought fewer battles, and they have not been given any opportunities to show their faces. Now, aren't one or two all scrambling to rush forward?

For example, in a small-scale battle like today, there is no need to dispatch generals like Liu Yu. He Wuji and the others can handle it enough.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

"Ji Nu, what position do you want to have after the Northern Expedition?"

"Have you ever thought about it?"

Under the clear moonlight, Wang Mi brought up this topic for no reason, and Liu Yu's heart jumped suddenly for no reason.

"I haven't thought about what's going to happen next. I'm just thinking about how to capture all these cities."

"After this, I will go wherever the king goes, and I will do whatever the king asks me to do."

Liu Yu's voice was very thick, and it felt like he was thinking and talking at the same time. Wang Mi turned his head and looked at him steadily, also attracted by his firm eyes.

Liu Yu has a calm and resolute temperament, and is definitely not a man in the pool. Wang Mi has always been worried that the Beifu soldiers will become stronger and stronger in his hands, and when Wang Mi is about to ascend to a high position, Liu Yu will give in.

If you can't stop, you will start an army and cause chaos.

At that time, the former brothers will completely break up and turn against each other. Obviously, this is an outcome that Wang Mi does not want to see.

However, it seems that Wang Mi is not in control of the direction of the matter. Everything depends on Liu Yu's choice.

With Liu Yu's ability, he is also capable of sitting on that throne and can control it well. However, to be fair, without Wang Mi, Liu Yu would naturally be the strongest figure in the south of this era, even the heroes in the north.

Everyone is no match for him.

But, who brought an extraterrestrial visitor?

Liu Yu could only settle for second place.

What Wang Mi was worried about was what Liu Yu was thinking. With Liu Yu's intelligence, he would not fail to see Wang Mi's ambitions, and he would not fail to understand the current situation within the Jin Dynasty.

Everything is moving in the direction controlled by Wang Mi, so where will Liu Yu, this talented man, go?

Will he be willing to be led by Wang Mi?

However, now that Liu Yu had made such a promise personally, although Wang Mi still had doubts in his heart, he was not prepared to delve into it further.

However, the situation Liu Yu faces now is completely different from the situation in history. Even if he holds the same belief, it is completely useless.

The civil strife of the Tianshi Dao rebellion that enabled him to firmly control the Beifu soldiers in his own hands has been wiped out by Wang Mi.

Although there are still remnants of Sun Tai's forces in various places, the core figures are all gone. Looking at local trends recently, these people will not be able to carry out any larger activities in a short period of time.

In addition, there are his direct generals, He Wuji and Wei Yongzhi, these are all excellent generals.

However, now they are all Wang Mi's people.

Right in front of Liu Yu's eyes, Wang Mi turned these people one by one into his own.

Of course, without historical events as a reference, Liu Yu would not have predicted that He Wuji and the others would have followed him.

All in all, Liu Yu has now lost the conditions to become king and hegemon.

So, how will he choose?

Are you continuing your ambition?

Or should you surrender to Wang Mi and really follow him?
To be continued...
