Chapter 399 New Weapon
Akro was frightened by Dou Yin and trembled all over. He even stolen the manufacturing map of the red-clothed cannon from Tang Long. How could he develop a weapon that was even more powerful than this cannon?
But if I say no, I'm afraid my life will be here today.
"General, the red cannon is powerful. If you want to develop a weapon that is stronger than it, it is not impossible. You just have to give me time to do it."
Akro shouted, struggling.
When Dou Yin heard this, he pondered for a while and looked at King Dali.
The King of Dali nodded.
Dou Yin let go of Akro and said, "Okay, I believe in you once. How long does it take for you to develop a weapon that is more powerful than the red cannon?"
"this……"
Akro was unsure and didn't know how to answer.
As soon as he hesitated, Dou Yin's face immediately showed a fierce look and stared at Akro and said, "You also see that the war is very tight now, and this general doesn't have that much patience to talk to you here. I'll give you a maximum of one month. If you can't create something more powerful than the red cannon, you can choose a piece of land for yourself and bury yourself alive."
As soon as these words came out, Akro was stunned.
One month?
Not to mention a month, even a year, he can't think of it.
"General, can you give me more time to think?"
"What do you think?" Dou Yin's sword in his hand shook in front of Akro.
Akolo bowed, "I understand. I must come up with a weapon that is more powerful than the red cannon in one month."
After saying that, Akro turned around and left.
"stop!"
Dou Yin called Akro.
Akro's legs and feet trembled, turned around tremblingly, looked at Dou Yin, and said, "General, what else do you have to do?"
"You didn't bring you seven hundred red cannons, all of these things are left behind. As for money, we will give them to you after you research them."
Akro nodded.
At this time, it would be great to save your life. As for money, he really dared not think about it.
Soon, all seven hundred red-clothed cannons were transported to the top of the mountain. With more than 800 existing doors, there were more than 1,500 red-clothed cannons, far exceeding the Liang Jun opposite.
At this time, the deputy general Dou Min stepped forward and bowed to King Dali and Dou Yin.
"Your Majesty, General, the spy just reported that there were only 500 red-clothed cannons left on the Liang army opposite, most of which were arranged on the top of the mountain. The number of red-clothed cannons we are now twice as many as the opposite mountain. The last general thinks that there is no need for us to hide now, concentrate our firepower and fight against the opponent. As long as we spend all the red-clothed cannons on the opposite mountain, victory will belong to us."
When the Dali King heard the news, he nodded repeatedly. Without waiting for Dou Yin to speak, he immediately ordered: "General, I order you to supervise the battle yourself, arrange all 1,500 artillery pieces, aim at the opposite side, and fight against them with fire!"
Dou Yin glanced at Dou Min, bowed to Dali Wang, and turned around to do it.
The Liang army opposite also learned from the spies that Akro transported 700 red-clothed cannons to the Dali National Army opposite. Wu Song, Qin Ming, Guan Sheng and Dong Ping gathered in the air-raid shelter to discuss.
"Our army now has only five hundred red cannons left, and there are more than one thousand five hundred cannons on the other side. We are at a disadvantage now. If we are here again, once the guns are fired on the other side, we will not be able to resist them. What do you think, brothers?"
Wu Song took the lead in asking a question.
After pondering for a while, Qin Ming spoke first: "Since our combat effectiveness is so different from Dali Kingdom, it will be very disadvantageous for us to waste it here. My suggestion is that we should evacuate here immediately, so that the remaining five hundred red-clothed cannons and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers will be saved."
As soon as Qin Ming finished his words, Dong Ping continued: "My view is the same as that of Qin Ming's brothers. Our mission is to delay Dali Kingdom, not to fight against them. Now that the situation has changed, we should make changes."
Guan Sheng touched his beard and waited for the two brothers to express his opinions before he said, "The words of the two brothers Qin Ming and Dong Ping are good, but Guan believes that if we all evacuate here, the Dali National Army will have no worries and will attack Guizhou with all their might. Now the Tang Long brothers have not developed a weapon that is more powerful than the red cannon. Once they are attacked by Dali, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, Guan's idea is to have a retreat plan to avoid a large number of deaths. But we cannot withdraw all of them. We should leave a part of them, bringing muskets to fight guerrillas with the Dali National Army in the deep mountains, so that the Dali State will not dare to attack Guizhou in full."
Wu Song nodded and recognized Guan Sheng's words.
"Brother Guan makes sense, but who stays here to lead the remaining soldiers to fight guerrilla?"
As soon as these words came, Guan Sheng stood up and bowed to Wu Song: "It was Guan who proposed to fight guerrillas, so it is up to Guan to do this."
"This is not OK. Brother Guan, in terms of age, you are older than us and our brother. In terms of prestige, your record in the army is the best besides Your Majesty. Your Majesty still needs you, so I'll stay."
Wu Song interrupted, "I stay. First, I am Your Majesty's younger brother, which makes it easy for the soldiers who follow and stay to convince. Second, if Dali Kingdom knows that it is me who fights guerrillas, it will definitely not let me go. As long as their focus turns to me, you will have more time."
Both Dong Ping and Qin Ming disagreed.
"Brother Wu Song, you are Your Majesty's only brother. If you have something to do, Your Majesty will definitely be very sad. Let us stay, we promise to stop Dali Country."
As he was talking, many shells suddenly dropped from the sky. In a blink of an eye, the artillery positions in Liangshan exploded repeatedly.
After this round of shells, more than 100 artillery pieces and thousands of soldiers were lost.
"The situation on the other side must be that our red cannons are fewer than them, so they started to attack. If we continue to waste like this, the casualties will be even more severe. Brothers, don't argue, leave five thousand soldiers, five hundred muskets, and one hundred red cannons for me, and the rest will follow you and leave here now!"
Wu Song looked anxious and said to the other three in a pleading tone.
They saw that the situation had reached this point and stopped arguing.
"Okay, since Brother Wu Song is so righteous, we will listen to you once. But Brother Wu Song, you must take care of yourself and must not be in trouble. Once Brother Tang Long develops a new weapon, we will come back."
Wu Song nodded.
