So far, Li Ping has not built a single new cannon.

Those deterrent cannons were all made using old cannons with reduced charges to support the scene, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Anyway, if a dozen cannons were fired at a time, the peasant army would not know which cannon was fired, and they might not even be able to figure out the order. The ships and the number of official and military fleets were only a dozen or so gunboats.

It is very likely that the peasant army will only think that the government army has many gunboats, and each boat has cannons. They will select a few boats at a time and fire two cannons to scare them.

But in fact, only two or three of the fleets passing by the river each time are gunboats. The gunners are not only conducting deterrent shooting, but also conducting live ammunition training. These gunners always have to train anyway, so it is better not to waste it.

, used directly here.

No one knows whether Zhang Xianzhong left Qizhou to attack Qishui because he was frightened. Anyway, most of the officials and people in Xingguo Prefecture believed it.

That's enough.

But a bigger problem also emerged. These frequent deterrent firings resulted in fewer and fewer available artillery pieces, and several of them exploded.

It may be possible to continue to scare people, but it is not enough to prevent Zhang Xianzhong from crossing the river.

Therefore, Li Ping not only had to consider the low success rate of his bold plan, but also had to be very cautious in choosing whether to irritate Zhang Xianzhong or not.

Li Ping had a headache, and Zhao Jin and Shi Ming, who were far downstream, also had a headache.

The two-person coalition army, which has assembled nearly 5,000 people, is nervously preparing for war dozens of miles away from Huangmei County.

Unlike Li Ping's decision-making alone, the attack of the two of them took the path of reporting and approval. The confidentiality was very poor in the chaotic situation, and it was very likely that it had been known to the enemy.

I'm afraid the only option is to attack forcefully.

The strength of the two men was obviously insufficient for a strong attack.

Now there are many people waiting to see their jokes, and there are also many comments.

But the order has been requested, the order has been given, and the arrow has to be fired.

And for Zhao Jin and Shi Ming, the most important thing is not face and whether they will be laughed at.

illustrate:

So far, there are no very accurate and detailed historical data on the military organization of Zhang Xianzhong’s Ministry, so the organizational structure of the Ministry described in this chapter has not been further developed.
