Lin Ziran would never believe that the artillery skills of his own artillery were so superb that they could hit the enemy's ammunition pile thousands of meters away with one shot.
It must be blind.
It must be covered.
Otherwise, Lin Ziran would have to wonder whether those artillerymen were still his own artillerymen and not imposters.
But even if it is deceived, it will not change the current result at all.
Our own artillery destroyed the Guang'an artillery's ammunition pile and set off a big firework for them.
The ball of fire rising into the sky is a sight to behold.
The artillery on the opposite side is finished.
Lin Ziran said with excitement: "Well done, we must give extra meals to the brothers in the artillery platoon today, half a catty of meat for each person!"
Luo Mazi on the side came up and said: "Master, there is no meat in our supplies!"
After hearing this, Lin Ziran suddenly paled, and then looked at Hao Ren beside him.
Hao Ren said: "There is no fresh meat, but there is bacon jerky, but the taste, tsk tsk, I guarantee you will never forget it for the rest of your life after eating it!"
After hearing this, Luo Mazi's face changed greatly: "Sir, if you don't want this bacon jerky, I'd rather give it away. If you really want to distribute it, I'm afraid the brothers will mutiny!"
Lin Ziran also nodded and said: "The dried bacon is really shameful, and there is no fresh meat. So, instead of rewarding us with silver, the artillery platoon will all reward us with silver. Anyway, we can't treat our brothers badly!"
It was quite troublesome to eat meat on the march. As for the dried meat in Hao Ren's mouth, Lin Ziran had never eaten it, but he had smelled it and the taste was just like what Hao Ren said. He would never forget it in his life.
At first, he thought it was similar to the beef jerky and bacon bought in supermarkets in later generations.
But when he saw it for the first time, he thought it was just a piece of wood, which was so hard that the soldiers cut it directly with a saw.
When the soldiers put it into the big pot and cooked it, the smell made Lin Ziran vomit on the spot!
What does it smell like? This is what Luo Mazi said at the time: This thing must have been thrown into the barrel thousands of years ago, otherwise how could it smell like a mummy!
Although the storage time of this kind of dried meat is not thousands of years, it can still be stored for decades.
About fifty years ago, when the Daheng Dynasty was not as full of vassal towns as it is now, a war broke out with the Osari Empire on the southern continent. In those few years, the entire Daheng Dynasty was mobilized.
In just a few years, the Daheng Dynasty military purchased and stored countless supplies, including countless amounts of bacon jerky!
The Daheng Dynasty spent a lot of money to prepare for this war, which in the end directly led to civil strife in the empire.
After several large-scale rebellions, the Ji royal family of Daheng was no longer able to control the entire empire. Many local powerful factions and generals supported their own forces, and finally evolved into the current separatist situation of vassal towns.
This is not important. What is important is that there were too many salted and reserved bacon jerkies at that time, so these bacon jerkies still appear in armies everywhere today.
Fifty years old cured bacon jerky, this is no joke.
What's more important is that you can't tell the exact year just from the taste.
Because even if this thing was just pickled in the past few years, the taste is disgusting!
Therefore, there is no significant difference in taste between five-year-old and fifty-year-old bacon jerky. Both are extremely stinky.
Many soldiers would not eat this stuff if possible.
Lin Ziran estimated that if he handed out the bacon jerky as a reward, the artillery brothers might mutiny.
It is better to exchange it for the simplest and most direct money.
When the brothers in the artillery platoon heard that there was a financial reward, they were all very happy and loaded more vigorously, and soon the shells were fired.
Only this time, they had obviously returned to their true level. The shell was more than ten meters away from the enemy's artillery position.
However, even if it hits the artillery position of the Guang'an Army, it is actually impossible to achieve greater results.
Because the ammunition dump exploded before, it directly overturned the entire artillery position of the Guang'an Army and caused many artillery casualties.
Fang Yuanxin looked at his artillery position in a mess, and finally sighed deeply: "Let the artillery move back!"
"Prepare to retreat!"
The artillerymen were stunned, and Fang Yuanxin could not continue to use cavalry troops to storm the complete fortifications on the opposite side. He had no other option except retreat.
However, even if they retreated, they still maintained a distance of several kilometers and did not go far at all.
Under this situation, Lin Ziran and Hao Ren had no way to move forward. They could only continue to dig fortifications and build defensive positions while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Hundreds of cavalrymen were watching eagerly at the edge. As long as they dared to leave the fortifications, they would immediately mount up and come over to kill them.
In this case, they can only passively wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
He waited for most of the day, and it was not until evening that Lin Ziran received reinforcements.
What came was the main cavalry force in Luoan County.
Lin Ziran noticed that these cavalry were more interesting. They did not have any armor, not even breastplates. The weapons they used were mainly sabers, short-barreled cavalry flintlocks and cavalry revolvers. They were basically the same as those he had seen before.
There is no difference between the Guang'an cavalry, they are all very standard light cavalry units in the contemporary era.
However, the designation of this cavalry unit turned out to be the Second Heavy Cavalry Regiment.
At the same time, the members all wore black cloaks embroidered with blood-red swords.
To be honest, this kind of dress looks weird on Lin Ziran!
Hao Ren saw the confusion on Lin Ziran's face and came closer and said: "This second heavy cavalry regiment is not simple. Its predecessor is the Black Sword Corps."
Black Sword Corps?
Lin Ziran knew this name, because the name of this regiment was so famous that even ordinary people had heard the story of this cavalry regiment.
The history of the Black Sword Corps can be traced back to the founding war of the Daheng Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Not to mention its outstanding military exploits during the founding war, the Black Sword Corps has been the main force of the Daheng Dynasty in foreign campaigns for hundreds of years. The black long sword
The cloak is their typical symbol.
At its peak, the Black Iron Corps had a strength of tens of thousands of cavalry, and the cavalry charge it launched was enough to sweep across the entire central continent, unstoppable!
Even after the civil strife in the Daheng Dynasty, this cavalry regiment was the main force used by the Ji family to suppress rebellions in various places. Unfortunately, although the Black Sword Corps could fight, it could not prevent the overall deterioration of the situation.
What's more, the Black Sword Corps is a pure cavalry force, and its cost is very huge. After the Ji family gradually lost control of other states, it was unable to maintain such a large cavalry regiment.
Finally, although the Black Sword Corps still exists and is still loyal to the Ji family's royal family, it now exists in name only. On the contrary, many officers and soldiers of the Black Iron Corps are living in various vassal towns.
The second heavy cavalry regiment in Luo An's army was formed based on some of the cuirassiers of the Black Sword Corps who had defected to Cheng Lingfeng.
No wonder he is wearing the rumored Black Sword Corps’ iconic black long sword cape!
