Zhang Xianzhong ran away. He took his men back to the camp without hesitation and broke the tent, then ran away.

Because he was afraid, he was afraid of the King Pingdong, King Pingnan, King Pingbei and others in the city, carrying muskets, carrying sky-blasting thunder, and even dragging cannons to chase after him.

At this time, he finally understood the horror of hot weapons. He fought with others with swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows, which was to seek death!

If he doesn't run away, if someone chases him out and shoots him on the head, he will be finished.

So, will Qi Jin chase him out?

To be honest, Qi Jin really has this idea.

However, he did not take action.

Because Zhu Qishi had already said that he could just be afraid of Zhang Xianzhong.

Now, Zhang Xianzhong is obviously scared, and there is no need to catch up with him.

Besides, their field combat ability is not very strong at this moment. It is still a bit difficult to beat ten. Especially when the enemy has cavalry, even if they can win, they will probably suffer heavy losses.

He held up his telescope and looked for a while, and suddenly asked, "Prince, I heard that the cannons loaded on the tower ships can be fired flat, and their power is quite terrifying."

Of course, the range of the cannon has reached five or six miles. If you shoot at a close range, you will probably be able to smash everyone with one shot!

Zhu Qizhe nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the cannon cannon's bore out of the bore is quite fast. Within two or three miles, the ballistics are basically straight and will not fall down at all. Moreover, the penetration is extremely strong. Even if it is four or five miles away, the decks and side sides of the warships and warships can basically not withstand a single shot."

When Qi Jin heard this, he couldn't help but suggest, "We can use such a powerful weapon for land warfare. For example, in the situation just now, if the enemy's shield formation is layer by layer, and all archers and infantry are hiding behind the shield wall, it would be troublesome. Even if the tiger squat cannon is loaded with armor-piercing shells, it may not be broken much. If there is a cannon, it will be different. According to the power you mentioned, a distance of one or two miles, one shot can at least break a few shields, right?"

Zhu Qizhuo couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this.

Yes, cannons can be used in land combat, and their close-range armor-breaking effect is simply too terrifying.

He couldn't help but nod and said, "Well, we can definitely try this."

Qi Jin then proposed: "If the cannon can be loaded into a cannon cart and pulled it out into the wild, it would be even more terrifying. If the enemy cavalry dares to charge and directly bombard the armor-piercing bombs or pig iron solid bombs, wouldn't it be like cutting wheat!"

Yes, with the power of cannons, it is not very effective in dealing with cavalry charges. If hundreds of cannons are lined up, even if tens of thousands of cavalry rushed over, they would probably not be able to withstand several rounds of volleys.

In fact, since the Battle of Yique, Zhu Qizhuo has been thinking about how to deal with the Jiannu cavalry.

Now that they use their weapons and equipment to fight the thieves, they are indeed fighting. If they are defending the city, it is no problem to be ten. If they are fighting in the field, it is no problem to be five.

Because the thieves were equipped with too poor, they basically had no armor and few iron shields. They basically had no way to defend against the terrifying power of flintlock rifles, tiger squat cannons and sky-bombing thunder.

The Jiannu cavalry is different. These guys are known as iron cavalry. Almost every cavalry is trying to put his armor on him. Some war horses are even wearing chain mail. Flintlock rifles and sky-burning thunder are basically useless. Tiger squat cannons can only be used to load armor-piercing shells and pig iron solid bullets. Moreover, it is good to be able to hang one shell on one.

The tiger squat cannons equipped by each legion are limited, with the largest number of legions of only 400. Ten rounds of volleys may not be able to overturn 4,000 people. Moreover, at the speed of cavalry, a distance of one mile is just a flash. No matter how fast the loading speed of the shells is, it is estimated that they can only volleys of two or three rounds and they have already rushed in front of them.

In this case, let alone one to five or even one to ten, even if the number of people on both sides is similar, except for elite troops like the Qi family army and Bai Gan soldiers, other ordinary legions may not be able to do it if they encounter Jiannu Iron Cavalry in the wild.

He had always been worried that Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang would suffer losses if they met Jiannu Iron Cavalry. Now that he had a solution, of course he had to try it quickly.

If anyone is used to deal with the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, it is naturally the most suitable for the Qi family army, because the generals and schoolmen of the Qi family army survived the bloody battle in Hunhe, and they are very familiar with the Jiannu cavalry. Moreover, they are the most skilled in whether it is the chariot formation or the use of muskets and artillery. It is better to equip them into field troops first to try the effect.

Zhu Qituo thought for a while and ordered Liu Zhonghe, who was stationed in Tang County, to lead his army to Dengzhou to replace the guards with the Imperial Guards. He ordered Ma Xianglin to lead the Imperial Guards to Xinye to garrison, and ordered Qin Yiming to lead 5,000 young and strong surrendered to garrison Tang County.

In this way, the Qi family army can be replaced and become a field mobile force.

Immediately afterwards, he said to Qi Jin: "General Qi, please quickly bring your men and horses to clean the battlefield. If you are dead, find a mountain bundle nearby to bury it. If you are injured, bandage it quickly. When these prisoners are almost able to walk, you will lead the army to take them to the Daba Mountains in Zhejiang and Sichuan. I will go back now and ask Meng Hou and the others to quickly make cannons. We will try the effect at that time."

When Qi Jin heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Prince, please come back first, and we will definitely arrive as soon as possible."

Zhu Qizhuo nodded slightly, then summoned his personal guards and rode a war horse and headed straight for Zhejiang and Sichuan.

A few days later, Qi Jin hurried to Daba Mountain in northwest Zhejiang and Sichuan. At this time, Zhu Qizhuo and Bi Maokang had already made more than ten cannon trucks and loaded them all on.

How effective this cannon is naturally tested? After all, this thing has been used in naval warfare and has never been used in land warfare.

As for the test method, Zhu Qizi had also thought about it. He directly ordered people to make thousands of cross-shaped wooden stakes on one side of the university ground, while he, Qi Jin, Bi Maokang and others, and a group of elite Qi's army set up ten cannons on the other side of the university ground.

The width of this large campus is about two or three miles, and the distance is just right.

Zhu Qizhu discussed with Qi Jin and decided to try it with armor-piercing bullets first.

With Qi Jin's order, a loud "boom" sounded quickly on the school ground, and ten armor-piercing bombs hit the dense wooden stakes opposite in the blink of an eye.

Everyone raised their telescopes and looked at them, and there was a hint of solemn expression on their faces.

Because the power of the armor-piercing bomb is not as strong as they imagined, an armor-piercing bomb basically smashed a wooden stake, penetrated two or three wooden stakes, and then it was stuck on the fourth or fifth wooden stake and could not penetrate it.

This wooden stake is made based on the defense of a person wearing armor. That is to say, breaking through a wooden stake is almost equivalent to breaking through a person wearing armor.

Only one armor-piercing bullet can kill four or five enemies in armor. This power is really unsatisfactory.

Qi Jin thought about it and then suggested, "Why don't we try it with pig iron solid bullet?"

Alas, okay, just try it. In fact, it is not unacceptable to kill four or five in one shot, but it is just a bit different from their expectations.

Not long after, there was another loud bang, and ten solid cast iron bombs hit the dense wooden stakes opposite in the blink of an eye.

Everyone couldn't wait to raise the telescope and look at it, and a hint of surprise appeared on their faces.

The effect of this pig iron solid bullet was surprisingly good. It basically knocked over three or four wooden stakes in one shot, and also scratched seven or eight wooden stakes along the way.

With the power of the pig iron solid bullet, even if you wipe it, it will probably be almost the same. In other words, if you use pig iron solid bullet, you can almost kill ten enemies in armor in one shot.

This power is enough. If one hundred cannons are lined up in a row, tens of thousands of cavalry can be completely overturned in just about ten rounds!

In other words, as long as the field legion is equipped with enough cannons, you don’t have to worry even if you encounter the Jiannu Iron Cavalry.

Immediately afterwards, they tried the explosion bomb and the explosion bomb. As a result, the effect was not very ideal. Because of such a close distance, the shells were flat fired, and the borehole speed was amazingly fast. The length of the fuse was difficult to adjust. Basically, the shells were hit and had not exploded yet, so the explosion bombs and explosion bombs were not as good as armor-piercing bombs.

Of course, these are not important anymore. It is enough to have the effect of a solid cast iron bullet.
