Chapter 13 The Execution of the High Priest (1)
As a result, he found that the blade had been broken, leaving only the hilt of the sword still in his hand.
"God of immortality, you finally abandoned me, or I don't want to see the day when the Republic is completely destroyed." Rabinus actually smiled bitterly, threw the dagger to the ground with a "clang", and then moved back with difficulty, leaning on the dying mount, sitting quietly, waiting for death to come.
At this moment, on a high ground stretching out from the hills, a single shooting brigade of the Liwus army ran neatly on it, then quickly set up a copper tube, began to condescend, and "turned his head and shot!" at the Rabinus cavalry who continued to stick to the horse raft in front of the horse raft in the Tumu River, and also came a thunderous volley. Soon the bodies of the people and horses who were killed by dense shotguns were all trapped in the river, carried by the turbid current, floating and congested to the "horse raft" downstream.
Rabinus' successor, about two or three thousand infantry and cavalry, finally realized what was going on ahead. Their commander and elite vanguard not only did not break through the enemy's camp, but also fell to death between the trench fire wall and the opponent's infantry front. At this time, there were a small number of cavalry. Whether it was for bravery or unable to turn back, they could only bypass the fire wall and attacked from the direction of the two wings. As a result, they were stabbed to death by the new army soldiers who had stood up with spears.
"This time the firing technology improvement is still very complete, but the material of the barrel is still not good. The copper tube must be appropriately reduced in proportion to the gunpowder, and next time it will have to be with an iron tube." Looking at the smoke and corpses on the ground, Li Bida had already retreated back to the camp with ease and began to think about summarizing the gains and losses.
Previously, many alchemists and craftsmen said in their letters that they would take the method to ignite the gunpowder. Li Bida approved three points: it is not safe and convenient to use ropes, so they can directly explore the firing of reeds and flints; in addition, accumulating enough saltpeter from corpses and toilets to explore better and safer gunpowder production; finally, using shotgun fire to strive to achieve the ultimate damage.
In the end, Li Bida almost spent one-third of his financial resources to equip about a thousand barrel guns, which were used on the new Liwus legion shooting brigade, so the rest of the brigade mainly relied on bows and arrows and stone throwing.
After about three rounds of violent shooting, several entourages came to him respectfully, took his reins, and said, "You should order all the legions to come forward, because the enemy in front of you has been completely defeated, and accept the great victory, Lord High Priest!"
In the sound of the bugle and the trumpet, Li Bida walked out of the camp again with the cheers of the entourages and guards. All the new legions stood up, took off their hats and helmets, and paid tribute to the high priest. The shouts of "Inperato" resounded throughout the sky, "Go to the left and tell Paluma, Angandinus, Karenus and Seerha that I have defeated the frontal enemy, and hope that they will move faster. If it is not for them to line up to welcome me into the camp where Rabinus fell, I will take the new legion and attack by myself, and I will not bother them." Li Bida held the gilded baton and said calmly to the commissar in front of him.
