Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Prepare the mother-and-child cannons!"

On the position of the First Regiment of the Divine Machine Army, there are eight mother-and-child cannons developed by the Divine Machine Army.

This thing was conceived by Ling Zhen, and with the efforts of all the skilled craftsmen in the entire Tiangong Academy, plus some minor suggestions from Ren Yuan, it was finally created after two or three years of hard work by the entire Shenji Legion!

Of course, don't expect this cannon to be too advanced. According to Ren Yuan's feeling, at most, it only reached the level of artillery in the early Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, the Divine Machine Legion tested it and found that the cannon barrel gets extremely hot, requiring a cooling-down period almost every time it is fired. Otherwise, the barrel could easily overheat and become ineffective, or even explode.

As for accuracy, there's no way to say anything. As long as the cannon can be fired, we shouldn't expect too much in terms of where it will actually hit.

Therefore, the research on this artillery still needs to be further explored by the Divine Machine Legion in the future.

However, now that he has artillery at his disposal, Ling Zhen's reputation as the "Heavenly Thunder" is truly well-deserved.

The mother-and-child cannon is his proudest work.

The key feature of Ling Zhen's mother-and-child cannon is its shells. After the shells explode, many small components fly out, increasing its destructive power. Judging from the power demonstrated during the test firing, it is indeed quite impressive.

"Fire the four cannons first, then cool them down, and then fire the other four!"

Because of the problem with the cannons, the Liangshan Divine Machine Army now uses a tiered configuration of cannons, which are fired in rotation to avoid a situation where no cannons are available. After all, if the cannons are unusable, the Divine Machine Army is just an ordinary infantry force, or even an infantry force with average combat effectiveness.

"Commander, shall we still test fire?"

"What are you testing? There are 50,000 enemy soldiers coming, a huge, dark mass. All you have to do is fire your artillery into their ranks!"

Wang Qing's vanguard was a large force, not the kind that resembles a long dragon, which was very advantageous for the Shenji Army, as they didn't need to aim at all.

"fire!"

Once everything was nearly ready, the commander of the Shenji Regiment immediately ordered the cannons to fire. A series of loud "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" sounds rang out as the barrels of the four Shenji mother-and-child cannons suddenly jumped and fired four shells at Wang Qing's troops!

"The temperature is dropping!"

As soon as a shell was fired, the gunners would throw a wet cloth onto the barrel and keep sprinkling water on it.

"Zzz..."

The high temperature of the cannon barrel, when it came into contact with water, quickly caused a lot of white steam to rise. This is the frustrating thing for the Shenji Army right now. The firing rate of the cannon is too slow, and the preparation work is too complicated. If they could fire faster, then the Shenji Army would be an unstoppable force on the battlefield!

……

Frontal battlefield.

Why do you set off fireworks during the day?

Teng Kui saw Shi Jin launch a signal flare, but nothing happened after it was launched, so Teng Kui began to mock him.

"All that fancy stuff is useless. Is all you Liangshan people do is bluff?"

Teng Kan also felt that Shi Jin was just pretending. It was just a firework; who hasn't seen one before?

But then, when they heard four thunderous "bangs" in succession, the Teng brothers immediately shut up!

They were startled too; what had made that noise on the hillside just now?!

"Look, what's that thing in the sky?"

"Get away! Get away quickly!"

At this moment, in Wang Qing's central army, some soldiers heard a loud noise and looked up, and then they saw four big black balls falling from the sky!

Instinctively, some of them crouched down with their heads in their hands, some quickly moved to the side, and others were so frightened that they didn't move at all.

However, Wang Qingjun's formation was too dense, so it was difficult for people to break out of the crowd in a short time!

The next instant, these four large black balls slammed heavily into Wang Qing's central army!

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Four loud explosions rang out in Wang Qing's central army, and some people who were too close and unable to dodge were instantly turned into mincemeat!

The next moment, various cries of agony began to erupt from Wang Qingjun's ranks!

"Ah! My eyes!"

"My legs! Where are my legs?!"

"Help! Help me put it back! Put it back!"

……

Yes, with the explosion of the mother-and-child cannon, all sorts of sharp objects hidden inside the shells scattered and flew out!

These things are all sneaky and insidious. The soldiers were already caught off guard, and when they were ambushed by these things, the casualties were even more severe.

Sure enough, someone's stomach was ripped open by flying shards, and their intestines spilled out. Now they can only groan in pain!

"Put it back!"

Meanwhile, on the hillside, the second wave of mother-and-child cannons from the Divine Machine Legion suddenly attacked!

"Boom! Boom!..."

This time, their shells were closer to Wang Qingjun's rear guard, causing chaos and screams among the troops!

"what happened?!"

The screams of the central and rear troops reached the ears of the soldiers standing at the front clearly. Everyone couldn't help but turn around to find out what was going on, but some soldiers who were close by couldn't bear the scene and vomited.

Why only target the central and rear ranks? Because the cannon's accuracy is indeed not high, and the Divine Machine Legion dares not fire too far forward, otherwise, it would be bad if they accidentally hit their own men.

"Report! General! We've been ambushed by Liangshan! They seem to have used powerful and long-range thunderbolt shells. The central and rear guard units have suffered casualties of varying degrees! Their shells must have come from that position!"

What? Thunderclap bombs? Liangshan has these things?

Wang Qing gasped in shock. Liangshan was playing dirty tricks?!

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

After Wang Qing realized what was happening, his first order was for the troops to retreat!

Wang Qing knew that these thunderbolts had a limited range, and he must have accidentally walked into Liangshan's ambush and been ambushed!

Ren Yuan! You tricked me!

"Leave? Where do you think you're going!"

Du Xue shouted loudly, then brandished his spear, signaling his cavalry to charge!

"Wang Qing! My second brother's life! You have to give me an explanation!"

"Retreat! Alliance Leader, retreat immediately!"

The Teng brothers were terrified and quickly ordered Wang Qing to retreat. Good heavens, that was Boss Du, and he had so many cavalrymen behind him. If he charged over, their leader would be dead.

"Okay! Then you guys help me block him!"

Wang Qing decisively turned and ran away. That was Du Xue! If he didn't run away, when would he?

Meanwhile, the Teng brothers and Wei Zhaode all stepped forward at the same time to try to stop Du Xue's charge!

"Teng Kui! Teng Kui! Wei Zhaode!"

Du Xue's spear instantly enveloped three people!

"Are you three trying to stop me?"

"Boss Du, let's talk this out. Can you please not resort to violence?"

Wei Zhaode and the other two were bitter inside, but on the surface, they still had to put on a show with Du Xue.

But Du Xue is very angry now!

"Speak properly? Why didn't he speak properly when he killed my second brother!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Either get out of my way, or come and see how sharp my spear is!"
