Chapter 836 Red Cannon(1/2)
The Xia army, Ming army, and millions of troops set up a decisive battle in western Liaoning. The two great princes had extremely large troops and were scattered throughout the battlefield.
Chu Tian asked Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu to serve on the left and right wings and personally faced the Liaodong Legion in Mingguan head-on.
The Ming army opposite was invisible at first sight, and it was filled with darkness.
In the entire East Asia, except Chutian, Mingguan has the most powerful cavalry legion.
"Three hundred thousand, or four hundred thousand?"
The last time Chu Tian fought with a cavalry of this size, the enemy was Genghis Khan Temujin.
Now, Chu Tian faced a huge number of cavalry again.
There are many cavalrymen such as Guanning Iron Cavalry, Hongwu Cavalry, Longcheng Iron Cavalry and other cavalry on the opposite side.
Chu Tian’s Imperial Guard Corps is the central army with Shenji Camp and the Women’s Corps.
Ekaterina's reinforcements serve as a reserve force.
"The Qing army's red cannon..."
Chu Tian already knew Mingguan's trump card in advance.
The red-clothed cannon is a copy of the naval gun used by Western warships in the 16th century, which can cause considerable damage to the wooden boards.
If you are hit, the consequences can be imagined.
However, Mingguan may not necessarily have production drawings for red cannons, and it is very likely that they are just consumable props.
After all, Chu Tian has not heard of any lord having such a special firearm.
As a player, Chu Tian naturally feels full of awe of the firearms.
Two large armies spread out, and both sides joined the army, looking for opportunities.
Teams of soldiers occupy the dangerous terrain and confront each other.
Mingguan laid thirty red-clothed cannons at a higher place, and the Qing army artillery gunners were deployed in artillery positions by Mingguan. The Ming army general Hong Chengchou, who obtained from the Battle of Songjin, led a team of infantry and cavalry to protect the artillery.
"With Chu Zima's character, once the red-clothed cannon shows his power, he will be impatient to send a cavalry to attack the artillery position."
When Mingguan deployed the red cannon, it seemed that he could already foresee what would happen in the future.
Chu Tian was most likely to use cavalry with cold weapons to harvest artillery positions.
The relatively primitive red-clothed cannon was attacked by the cavalry head-on, and the gunners could not fight in close combat at all.
"Kong Youde, you and Hong Chengchou guard the red-clothed cannons together. The eight banners of the Han army, four of which are handed over to you."
In order to protect the red-clothed cannon, Mingguan gave about 40,000 troops to Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde, which could not only guard the artillery positions, but also serve as attacking troops.
Hong Chengchou was the chief general of the Ming army in Songjin's Battle. Although he was not a first-class general such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, he was also a second-class general.
The red-clothed cannon was deployed on the flank, and Hong Chengchou looked at the Xia army position not far away.
The red-clothed cannons will certainly not be able to cover the entire battlefield in the battle between hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and may only threaten tens of thousands of people. Therefore, Mingguan did not fully expect the thirty red-clothed cannons to decide the outcome.
These thirty red-clothed cannons were used by Mingguan to deal with the Xia army on the right, namely the Cao Cao army.
Murong Ba and Murong Ke led the troops of the Murong Xianbei tribe as the main force, and the red-clothed cannons provided deterrence and cover.
"What is the power of the red cannon?"
Although Murong Ba and Murong Ke represented the Murong Xianbei tribe, they were rebellious, were always afraid of the pressure of Mingguan and did not dare to rebel.
Now Mingguan suddenly took out a trump card to shock the Xianbei cavalry.
The Murong Xianbei had never seen a red-clothed cannon, and could only see dozens of cold and empty bronze muzzles aimed at the direction of the Xia army.
This is a firearm from the late Ming Dynasty. It has not been used after Mingguan brought back.
"It is said that any powerful general who is hit by a red cannon will most likely be killed."
Murong Ba was still confident in his force, but Mingguan's words shocked Murong Ba. Even if he stood in front of the red cannon and was hit by the red cannon, he would probably die immediately.
"On the other side is Cao Mengde's tiger and leopard cavalry."
But Murong Ke was always observing the Xia army opposite.
Familiar opponent.
Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry competed with the Murong family's Longcheng Iron Cavalry, and both sides were like water and fire.
The combination of Cao Cao, Xun You and Guo Jia, with Murong Ba and Murong Ke, has come and go, and it is difficult for anyone to achieve significant results.
"The Dragon City Iron Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are just around the corner, so I can only hope that the red-clothed cannon can open up the situation."
Just as Cao Cao had a headache with Murong Ba's Longcheng Iron Cavalry, Murong Ba was also very afraid of Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Cao Cao didn't know how unlucky he would be.
Cao Cao received an order about Chu Tian, and Chu Tian asked all the generals to guard against the Ming army's red-clothed cannons.
"What red cannon?"
Cao Cao was confused when he received the order.
Cao Cao had seen the Match Rope Gun of Shenji Camp, but Shenji Camp was not equipped with bronze cannons, so most generals of the Chutian power did not know the existence of the red cannon.
"I heard it is a firearm that is even more powerful than a bed crossbow. Since the lord wants us to be more careful, then we must be careful."
Guo Jia followed Cao Cao from Ji County to western Liaoning. It was precisely because Guo Jia and Xun You were giving advice to Cao Cao that Cao Cao was not framed by Murong Ke.
Cao Cao disagreed: "Murong Ba's Longcheng Iron Cavalry and Murong Ke's serial iron horses, in my opinion, are more threatening than this red-clothed cannon. The Longcheng Iron Cavalry has extremely high attack power, and the square formation composed of serial iron horses is indestructible. The two iron cavalry cooperate with each other and scatter the world. Even the tiger and leopard cavalry is hard to defeat."
Cao Cao suffered a lot under Murong Ba and Murong Ke.
Even the King of Wudao Ran Min could not break through Murong Ke's serial iron horses, which shows the defense of the serial iron horses.
Murong Ba is the sharpest spear in the Xianbei tribe, and Murong Ke is the strongest shield.
If we look at the scale, Cao Cao's words are not bad, because the direct casualties caused by dozens of red-clothed cannons to the Xia army are definitely not as good as those of tens of thousands of high-level heavy cavalry.
Dozens of red-clothed cannons, at most, injuring thousands of Xia soldiers, Murong Ba and Murong Ke's cavalry, could completely cause tens of thousands of casualties to the Xia army.
"However, the red-clothed cannon should not be that simple. Could it be a tenth-level army?"
Chu Tian deployed the entire decisive position at a high place and arranged troops.
In Chu Tian's opinion, the red cannon owned by Mingguan does not seem to be simple.
In "Lord", each army has its own panel and characteristics.
If it were the same as in reality, dozens of bronze cannons were indeed not enough to change the result of the battle between millions of soldiers and horses. After all, Chutian's forces have many elite forces and will not be frightened by the red-clothed cannon.
However, it is precisely because every military group has its own abilities that this is the terrible thing.
Even the iron-armored war elephant is systematically divided into ninth-level troops, with characteristics such as "defense specialization" and "furious".
The red-clothed cannon is also a military service in theory, and the gunners of the red-clothed cannon are likely to be tenth-level troops.
Chu Tian has never seen a tenth-level army.
"Wait, if you defeat Mingguan, maybe these red-clothed cannons will fall into my hands... It would be great if you could get the drawings of the red-clothed cannons, produce buildings, and the corresponding troops."
Chu Tian couldn't help but jealous of this elite legion.
The Chutian forces do not lack cavalry or infantry, but there is a lot of demand for long-range troops.
It is said that the United States, in the American Civilized Area, is famous for its firearms and weapons.
If Chu Tian wants to defeat the American Civilized Zone, he naturally needs a batch of firearms as long-range troops to check and balance.
Although the red cannon imitates European marine cannons, they have been localized and are considered one of the top firearms in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"It's incredible that a lord in the Eastern Han Dynasty actually got the artillery."
When Ekaterina learned that the enemy army opposite had artillery, she was a little unbelievable.
The first lord who obtained artillery appeared in the Eastern Han area, and was obtained by the lord of the Eastern Han area in the form of dungeon spoils.
"It seems that I underestimated the last epic battle, and many lords have obtained some interesting things..."
Perhaps the Battle of Kunyang followed Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, and it went too smoothly, so Chu Tian disagreed with the fifth epic battle.
In fact, each lord can always receive some strange props and rewards because of the different civilizations and periods of the dungeons involved.
The characteristic "Son of the Plane" obtained by Chu Tian is also a strange feature. It is one of the strangest features in "Lord" and has no clear effect.
In addition to Chu Tian and Mingguan, other lords actually got some weird things.
"What reward did you get in the last epic battle?"
Chu Tian suddenly became interested in the battle between Katerina.
Caterina is also a great lord and is qualified to participate in the fifth epic battle, so logically speaking, Caterina should also be rewarded.
"This is a secret."
Yekaterina did not directly answer Chu Tian.
Chu Tian frowned slightly.
He still has no chance to look at Ekaterina's panel.
