"Li Zicheng has brought all the assets here!"

Looking at the formation of Fufeng City, Li Xiu's mouth raised and couldn't help but sigh.

"The spy came to report that Zhang Xianzhong left tens of thousands of troops in Hanzhong to block the Minzhou Guards. He did not choose to come to Fufeng, but went to the three-sided governor..."

Li Dingguo reported in a low voice.

"They cooperated well!"

Li Xiu chuckled, and the two of them didn't look like thieves who could get together. Now they are so intimate and things are impermanent. This is the case.

"The last general thinks that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are probably just trying to delay time. Before, they arrested many works of the Later Jin Dynasty in Denglai. The Later Jin Dynasty has contacts with Jiangnan and Shaanxi..."

"Not possible, they are just going to do that!"

Li Xiu waved his hand. He always attached great importance to intelligence work. The Jinyiwei monitored the world and dared not say that everything was big and small. However, the Jinyiwei today is definitely not weaker than the peak period of the Jinyiwei during the Hongwu period.

How could he not know the filth in the dark in such a state?

It is no exaggeration to say that the chaos in the world of the Great Ming Dynasty is indispensable to the fuel of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Of course, flies do not bite seamless eggs. If he takes action step by step and boils the frog bit by bit, no matter how much Hou Jin can fuel the fire and stir up the wind and rain, it will not be possible to evolve into the current situation.

But...however, this corrupt Ming Dynasty had no capital to take every step.

In this way, he could only take risks and force the world to rebel, cleanse the world, and then break it and then establish it.

Otherwise, no matter how hard it is, it will be just a barely supportive act as a papermaker. If a person dies, the country will die. A tragic song is destined.

A lot of thoughts flashed through my mind. Li Xiu looked around at Li Zicheng's military layout, but couldn't help but chuckled.

With Fufeng City as the tone, large camps were set up on the left and right, and superior forces were used to form a restraint on the offensive army, and the military layout was completely defensive.

In this way, if Li Zicheng's strategy of delaying time is followed, such a defensive trend will naturally be quite good and reasonable.

but……

The battle to defend the city was not something that Li Zicheng could defend just by wanting to defend.

"Let the artillery battalion prepare!"

With the issuance of a military order from Li Xiu, the artillery battalion, which was heavily protected, slowly advanced to the front of the formation.

Li Xiu has always attached great importance to firearms, especially since he assisted the country and has gained enough power, which has caused the already huge military firearms to expand rapidly.

At that time, the Firearms Division, which had seconded only a few dozen people from the Inner Court War, has grown into a giant with nearly 10,000 craftsmen, integrating research and development, manufacturing, and maintenance.

Its scale is far greater than the sum of the military weapons bureau affiliated to the Ministry of Works and the military battle bureau in the inner court.

Such a huge amount of manpower and material resources, coupled with the direct jurisdiction of the Five Armies Governor's Office, was enough to make Li Xiu formulate various incentive policies without interference.

A reasonable policy orientation, the management of internal affairs by experts, coupled with sufficient manpower and material resources, and Li Xiu's occasional guidance, and various factors are summarized, in this era, it is enough to easily burst out with amazing returns.

Although there have never been truly cross-age weapons, based on the existing firearms, this Military Weapons Division has already reached its peak.

The once extremely expensive flintlock rifle has been completely manufactured. The scale of the flintlock rifle is just a flintlock rifle, with nearly 2,000 Japanese units. Take Beijing Camp for example, the equipment rate of flintlock rifle has reached 80%.

Of course, among them, the pure firearm legion only accounts for less than half, and most of them coexist with firearms and cold weapons.

Just like several cavalry battalions in the Beijing Camp, in addition to the necessary cold weapons, they are generally equipped with two flintlock short guns, as well as several grenades used for throwing, or thunder.

Of course, these are just muskets. Since the mass popularity of flintlock rifles has been difficult to improve in a short period of time, Li Xiu's attention to this military weapon department has changed from muskets to artillery.

For example, the peak artillery and red-clothed cannons of this era have been improved by military equipment. Both the weight of the cannon body or the power range have been enhanced, and the rest of the various types of artillery have also been well improved.

Of course, the most important thing is to form large-scale manufacturing and production.

Today, the Beijing Army has nearly 100 artillery pieces equipped with each battalion of infantry. You should know that the nearly 200 artillery pieces are not comparable to those of the Beijing Army.

Among them, except for some small cannons equipped with each thousand households, a considerable number of them are large-caliber front-mounted smoothbore cannons!

The famous red-clothed cannon is one of them!

It is no exaggeration to say that the density of such firearms stands at the peak of this world, at least, no army can match it inside and outside the Ming Dynasty.

Similarly, under such a firearm, a turtle shrank is not so easy to be.

The military formations scattered, hundreds of various artillery were arranged in sequence according to the range, forming a huge artillery position. On both sides of the artillery position, several military formations were arranged in a row. The purpose of the arrangement was to protect the largest artillery position on this land.

It is worth mentioning that, except for a few small cannons that can be transported by manpower, most of them are similar to the traction artillery of later generations, but they are pulled by mules and horses, and the rear is supplemented by wooden wheels.

Before technology broke through the limit, at least under the current conditions, Li Xiu had already raised this firearm army to the peak.

"artillery!"

"That's so far, can you fight?"

Above the city tower, Li Zicheng looked at the movements of the towering military formation in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He is naturally familiar with artillery. There are many artillery in his army, but most of them are old-fashioned products that are not useful, and a small number of them can be used are pretty good, and they can be called a killer weapon.

But... it seems that there is no such a long range, right?

Suddenly, a premonition of unknown feeling came to Li Zicheng's heart.

It seemed to be confirming Li Zicheng's premonition. As soon as the thought emerged, a shocking roar sound was heard!

As soon as the voice arrived, the scene that caught my eye also made Li Zicheng and even all the soldiers on the city tower completely stunned.

Hundreds of shells were whistling with a harsh whistling sound, like a meteor fire falling from the sky, and in an instant, they descended into the heavily guarded military camp.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Looking around, there are bloody storms!

The towering village wall was like a layer of thin paper, and instantly it was torn into hideous holes. Solid iron bullets rolled down, plowing bloody roads in the military camp.

A flowering bomb was coming, and the fire was visible to the naked eye, and the explosive fragments were storming, causing bloody storms.

Just a round of artillery strikes, a military camp that was originally orderly and strictly guarded was already in chaos!

"Huh..."

Such a miserable situation caught my eye, and looking at the distant artillery position, Li Zicheng had a little difficulty breathing.

At such a long distance, he had no means to counterattack except to send troops to attack!

If you let it go, you will be beaten passively and have chronic death.

But, send troops to attack...
Chapter completed!
