Chapter 1157 I can’t pick up anything hot anymore!(1/2)
"That's right, he's just a veteran, and he doesn't seem to have much ability. Just let him go. The other brothers still need to use cannonballs!"
The few soldiers sang in harmony and began to sympathize with the ammunition that had been placed in the belly of the cannon!
Pity!
Can it still be taken out?
Why not use it where it is needed more?
That's what they say, but this is not something they can decide.
Huan Xuan's eyes widened, and the few soldiers were immediately speechless.
They all bowed their heads, loading the ammunition when it was time to load it, and lighting the fire when it was time to fire.
"bring it on!"
"Kill!"
Who knows whether this is important or not? Huan Xuan, who set foot on a real battlefield for the first time, had no idea.
However, he is born with such a stubbornness. As long as it is something he is determined to do, even if it is wrong, he will do it to the end.
There must be consequences, good or bad.
Now Huan Xuan is stuck with this old guy, and he wants to kill him, regardless of whether he is an important figure in the enemy's party or not.
Why focus on him?
There is no special reason why he just doesn't look pleasing to the eye?
After the cannonballs were prepared, Huan Xuan personally brought the tinder over, and in a flash, he pushed aside the soldier who was originally responsible for igniting the fire.
He personally stood behind the crosshairs of the red cannon.
Although this front sight is still relatively rough and primitive, it is an epoch-making progress for the battlefield, especially in the era of hot weapons!
With it, even a rough version can still greatly improve the accuracy of shooting.
Or Huan Xuan is a born warrior. Look at him, he has never eaten a red cannon before, and he has never even seen what a cannonball looks like.
However, when he held this cannon in his hands and saw how the artillerymen used it skillfully, he learned it completely within a few times.
But now, after successfully firing a few cannons, Huan Xuan not only learned it, but also used it skillfully.
It’s not a boast, but there’s no need to mention the accuracy and hit rate.
It’s simply amazing!
Every time a cannon was fired, it knocked down a large area, and almost never returned empty-handed. Huan Xuan was so brave, and he still showed it in front of the soldiers.
Can it not attract their admiration?
Who is Huan Xuan?
I was already full of self-confidence, but now that I have the compliments of the soldiers, I can't even find my direction, how can I not do my best to perform for them.
Yes!
Huan Xuan is a very exaggerated person, and he does have some acting skills in him.
He saw Yao Chang's figure again in the crowd. He was chopping hard now, and there were always dozens of soldiers guarding him.
The purpose was to protect him, but the result was naturally the opposite. If Yao Chang was just one person, he might not be so eye-catching, but if there are more people and they form a small group, this matter will be troublesome.
The target is too big, and anyone who sees it will know that this veteran who is protected in the middle must be a big shot!
Very big shot!
Why don't you just point the cannon at him and blast him?
Fortunately, Yao Chang encountered Huan Xuan, a young general who was as brave as a tiger but lacking in brains. He didn't care whether he was a big shot or a small shot. He only wanted to target the person he liked.
However, unfortunately, in the case of Yao Chang, these two tendencies can be said to have reached the same goal through different paths.
Because, right now, Huan Xuan's red cannon is pointing directly at Yao Chang!
You see, it’s a mistake!
Although there is the help of the crosshair, the red cannon of this era still needs human assistance if it wants to aim at the target faster and better.
It was necessary to rely on manpower to reverse the direction of the gun barrel. Fortunately, Huan Xuan solved this trivial matter by himself.
If someone else wants to control the red cannon, at least two people are needed, which is standard.
One is responsible for aiming and adjusting the angle, one is responsible for moving the barrel and finding the correct direction, and the other is naturally responsible for loading ammunition.
This was the standard composition pattern of artillery squads in this era.
However, when we arrived at Huan Xuan's place, things were much simpler. He could solve it all by himself standing there!
Huan Xuan alone was responsible for aiming and loading ammunition. In the end, he had to fire the shot himself.
That's called busyness.
However, as the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou army, he was originally surrounded by small soldiers to help him. There were definitely a lot of them, and they were all attentive.
Who would have thought that when the cannons were fired to get excited, Huan Xuan sent away all the helpers, determined not to let them interfere.
Insist on doing it all yourself.
Doesn't this go against the laws of science?
Isn't this a joke?
Yes, in the minds of normal people, in the thinking logic of normal people, of course they would not do this, it is simply impossible!
The red cannon is not a musket. It cannot aim and fire immediately. It does not have such skills.
Since its successful development, in normal historical time and space, it has also been a weapon that requires the cooperation of multiple people to use it properly.
Why could General Huanxuan do the opposite?
Could it be that he really had help from gods?
Or can Huan Xuan really break through the original limitations of weapons and use them however he wants? Can he succeed?
Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, he has already done this anyway. The soldiers who are responsible for watching him can't do anything to him, they are just helping him to defend the perimeter.
Although, they didn't play much of a role.
After all, the current Qiang soldiers are simply unable to fight against the Jin army. They have no strength to fight back and can only protect themselves. Especially Huan Xuan, who controls the cannon in red, is even more like a heavenly being.
Who dares to touch him?
Who dares to approach him?
I don’t even dare to do it well!
They were all afraid of him to death, thinking that the red cannon was some kind of extraterrestrial thing, some ancient artifact that could be traced back to the time of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.
Therefore, he didn’t need too many people to protect him or help from others. Huan Xuan started practicing by himself!
Now, Huan Xuan's cannon barrel has been aimed at Yao Chang!
The old general was entangled by a group of Jin infantry. He wanted to advance, but there was no way. He wanted to retreat, which was even more impossible, so he was stuck there.
This time, Huan Xuan was given a chance. He only needed to light the fire gently and everything would be over!
In the future, it will definitely be recorded in the history books.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, on the battlefield of Qinzhou, Yao and his son were killed on the same day, and General Lingbao was responsible for it!
This credit belongs exclusively to him, Huan Xuan!
Of course, so far, Huan Xuan has been busy at the front, and he has no idea that someone has already taken the lead just before Li Gong.
Yao Xing was already dead. He was killed by Zhu Xu, the former general who had always been looked down upon by Huan Xuan!
Now, only half of this huge credit remains!
If I don't hold on tighter, I won't even be sure whether I can get this half!
Just behind Huan Xuan, who was eager to try, Wang Mi was riding on horseback!
Fast!
quickly!
"Stop shooting!"
"I want to live!"
Wang Mi shouted desperately, but within his sight, Huan Xuan was still standing near the red cannon, and had no intention of obeying his instructions.
And further away, one can indeed see, in a daze, Yao Chang surrounded by a group of soldiers.
"Your Majesty, Huan Xuan seems to be unable to hear our screams. Moreover, it would be even worse if Yao Chang was killed by those unsuspecting Beifu soldiers!"
At the critical moment, Zeng Jing could still think clearly and think of this possibility.
yes!
Even if Huan Xuan didn't kill him, other Jin soldiers might kill him. By then, a fresh and warm Yao Chang would be gone!
To be continued...
