Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

What he said made sense. Compared with mechanical engineering, Qin Ming's gunpowder was simpler and more crude.

Mechanical engineering excels only in its ingenuity and creativity.

I saw that in this short moment, the other party demonstrated several ways to use the Thousand Machine Stick.

From this point, it can be seen that their Thousand Machine Stick still has many forms that have not been revealed.

"The mechanism is indeed ingenious, but we should leave now!"

When Liu Chuang saw the enemy cavalry running away, he picked up his saber and ran away without saying a word.

"Come on!"

The cavalry commander, who was also a seasoned general, quickly distanced himself from them, and it was obvious what he wanted to do.

This is a kite-proof fighting method that utilizes the mobility of cavalry.

After creating some distance between you and them, use some medium and long-range weapons to attack them.

If it were the era of cold weapons, they wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

The reason why infantry cannot defeat cavalry is because the opponent can control the distance at will.

Relying on the flexibility of the war horses, they were quickly wiped out.

Fortunately, Liu Chuang and his men had muskets in their hands, and the attack range of these weapons was much longer than that of bows and arrows.

Even if the opponent has distanced themselves from them and is preparing to use a kite-flying tactic, they can still fight back and take the opportunity to retreat.

"I've already arranged for someone to bring the warhorse. As long as the warhorse is delivered, we'll still have the strength to fight."

What surprised Liu Chuang was that the reaction just now was very quick.

Just now, I took advantage of the opportunity when they were fighting and secretly arranged a group of people to bring the war horses.

As long as they have war horses, Liu Chuang's troops' combat effectiveness can be taken to the next level.

Not to mention the hundreds of Lu Fang's troops, even if another group of people came, they would still be able to fight.

Just as the two of them retreated in a hurry.

Suddenly, the sound of artillery fire was heard in the distance.

boom!

Artillery fire exploded instantly not far from where Lu Fang was.

The soil was flying and blue smoke was rising.

When this scene appeared, everyone gasped. Lu Fang was so scared that he took a few steps back and hurriedly pulled the rope to suppress the warhorse's fear.

"They have backup coming."

"General, let's go back to the city first."

At this time all the soldiers were extremely frightened.

The methods displayed by the enemy just now have exceeded their expectations.

These people are too lethal.

If the fighting continues, the death of a few hundred of their people will be a small matter.

The key is that the Thousand Machine Sticks on hand are not enough to be delivered!

The imperial court had strict control over the Thousand Machine Sticks, and the losses they suffered in each war were limited to a pitiful amount.

If they are missing one of the Thousand Machine Sticks when they return to hand over the sticks, the court will impose extremely severe punishment on them!

If they continue to fight, the Thousand Machine Sticks in their hands may be lost even more, exceeding the limit!

According to the imperial court, the annual output of Thousand Machine Sticks was only one or two hundred.

However, they lost a batch of them in the challenge just now.

Such losses are already high enough, and if the fight continues, the losses will only be greater. No one dares to gamble again.

In addition, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and no one can be sure how many people they have.

But just looking at the amount of artillery fire, it must be a lot.

So at this time they were all a little scared.

Seeing this scene, Lu Fang sighed to the sky.

He could die himself, but facing his brothers, he couldn't go against his fate and drag them to die with him.

Finally, he nodded and agreed to everyone's request.

"Withdraw first and send the news to the court. I will bear the responsibility alone."

At this point, it is no longer possible to bring all the people back or kill them all.

The series of situations made Lu Fang feel dizzy and he didn't know what to do.

However, Changsun might come later with 50,000 elite soldiers.

If I could make amends for my crime, I might still be saved.

It was because of these thoughts that he nodded and agreed to everyone's request.

Soon, the pursuing troops returned to Shuilian County.

Liu Chuang and Fang Cai, who had escaped, looked at the people who came to support them with astonishment.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

The person who came to support was Fang Yuanjian.

Although many people advised Fang Yuanjian not to go to the front line in person, after all, Fang Yuanjian is now their backbone.

But after hearing that they had already gone to fight.

Fang Yuanjian still couldn't hold back and brought some troops to support.

The final result shows that his support in this round was indeed very important.

If it weren't for his appearance.

Lu Fang may not necessarily withdraw his troops.

"I was so worried that I sent people to investigate. After hearing that you were fighting in the city for a long time, I guessed that something might be wrong, so I brought people here."

Although they were in the mountains, Fang Yuanjian was still concerned about their situation and was ready to provide support at any time.

Hearing what he said, Liu Chuang and Fang Cai also nodded. At this time, Liu Chuang suddenly said:

"How many of these Thousand Machine Sticks did we get back?"

"Eighteen."

The people below responded quickly after counting.

"Can you give me half? I think His Majesty would like this thing."

Liu Chuang’s idea was very simple, since the other party’s culmination of mechanical skills was this Thousand Machine Stick.

It would be better to send some back to Daqian.

With their strong research capabilities, they should be able to dismantle it quickly.

However, this is still the top technology of the Shenmu Kingdom.

It would definitely be inappropriate to just take him away like this.

So he wanted to see if he could ask Fang Yuanjian for his opinion.

Facing his question, Fang Yuanjian was silent for a moment and then slowly said:

"I can give them all to you, but this weapon has more than a dozen variations. With all due respect, even Daqian can't imitate it."

"It doesn't matter. If you can figure it out, then do it. If you can't, forget it."

Liu Chuang doesn't have much idea about technical things.

He just wanted to send this novelty to Qin Ming to take a look.

"Go back first."

At this time, the man next to him took a look at the extremely tired prisoners and spoke.

After hearing his words.

Liu Chuang and Fang Yuanjian both nodded and quickly left with their people.

The battle to rescue the prisoners also ended successfully due to various coincidences.

The number of troops they rescued this time was more than 6,000.

Together with Fang Yuanjian's original troops, the number has exceeded 25,000.

This large number of professionally trained troops would be a formidable force wherever they are placed.

If Hua Yunhong knew this news, he would definitely have a headache.
