Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Xue Lince asked straight to the point.

The Prince Regent took off his helmet and held it under his armpit. He won the first battle but it was not easy at all.

"Today I have seen the power of artillery," he breathed out, "However, this artillery is only placed on the coast. If it can be placed on a ship, can it be transferred at will, and the range is also arbitrary?"

Xue Lince twitched his eyebrows, probably thinking about this.

"Back to the prince," he said while thinking, "it is indeed so."

"Okay," the regent suddenly became happy without any sign, and patted him on the shoulder. "Since you took the lead in forging this cannon, do you know how to improve it? Nowadays, the Eastern Japanese attack frequently. It is best to place the cannon on the boat so that the cannon can go away and attack at any time."

This made Xue Lince have a hard time, his temples twitched, and his face showed embarrassment.

"What's the matter? This matter is difficult?"

Seeing that his expression was solemn, the regent's heart twitched, and the smile on his face faded again.

"This matter is difficult to say, but easy to say," Xue Lince said slowly, "This cannon was originally intended to be installed on the ship, but unfortunately the forging process is not good enough, so it can only be stacked on the shore."

The regent scratched his head, "What should I do? If the gunfire can only be piled up on the shore, then the ship can't carry it on a long journey, let alone take it when you want it. Besides, if it can only be on the shore, it will be very difficult to leave a group of troops to fire the cannon."

Xue Lince also sighed, "If the cannon is to be improved to the ship, it will probably take a lot of manpower, not to mention the time consumed, but how to determine the range of the cannon after it is placed on the ship is another matter."

He paused, and glanced at the regent's expression, "Furthermore, at present, the Eastern Japanese are frequently invading, and soldiers are already approaching the city. Improving the cannon at this time is no different from sharpening the gun in front of the battle. Who will have time when the crisis suddenly arises."

The light in the regent's eyes gradually dimmed, and finally he let out a long sigh and breathed out, as if giving up, "The fighter plane must not be delayed. Since these cannons are enough, let's not improve them for the time being. Our Central Plains land and water forces are extremely strong, and we will definitely be able to kill all these Japanese pirates."

The matter was put on hold, and for several days in a row, the Eastern Japanese did not dare to invade.

In the middle of the night, the regent and Xue Lince were leading troops on patrol. When everything was going well, they suddenly saw a raging bonfire lit on the watchtower.

The flame tore through the darkness, shining a red light nearby, and crackling.

"Not good!" The Regent scolded in a low voice, "It's these pirates who are here again!"

Before the words fell, everyone saw a very faint light on the surface of the sea. If they were not already on guard, they would have ignored it. Xue Lince took a close look.

"It's Japanese pirates!" He said in a deep voice, "They must be trying to sneak attack at night, who ever wanted to be caught by our people."

The regent didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked the soldiers around him to light the torches and spread the word loudly. For a while, the patrolling streets and alleys were filled with the voices of soldiers shouting at each other.

"The pirates are attacking! Take your positions!"

In the blink of an eye, the two brought a group of soldiers to the coast, and quickly set up the cannon.

The night was too dark, which greatly affected sight and aiming. Even with the bright moonlight, the specific direction of the Eastern Japanese ships could not be seen clearly.

"Heh," he sneered, "The reason why these Dongwo people choose to sneak attack at night is to avoid the artillery fire. We will definitely not let them do what they want!"

After that, he waved the torch in his hand vigorously, and shouted: "Fill all the cannons with ammunition, hold your breath! Listen to my orders!"

The soldiers didn't know why, but they could only use their hands and feet to fill the cannon.

Dongwa's ship was getting closer, probably just in case, the other party turned off the only light, and it was really risky to approach in the dark.

At this time, the east wind was picking up, and the opponent approached much faster. Fortunately, the moon also broke free from the dark clouds, and filled the ocean with molten moonlight.

The regent became a little anxious, "Master Xue, why don't you fire the cannon, the Japanese pirates have already arrived!"

"Don't worry," Xue Lince clenched one hand tightly into a fist, "it's not convenient to aim in the dark night, the closer the opponent is, the more accurate we can be, and the power will be even greater then."

Hearing this, the regent suppressed his temper and stared at the sea anxiously.

After a while, everyone heard the sound of Japanese pirate boats paddling over, but Xue Lince remained unhurried. Just when the regent couldn't help but want to urge again, Xue Lince suddenly raised the torch and shouted: "Fire!"

All of a sudden, five cannons rang out at the same time, the sound was deafening, and each ammunition hit the Japanese pirate's ship with precision. Because of the extremely short distance, the aiming was more accurate and the power was even greater.

In an instant, the flames shot up into the sky, sawdust and metal flew together, the sea was covered with flames, and the entire sky was illuminated by orange flames.

The Japanese pirates were taken aback. Seeing that the situation was wrong, they quickly turned the bow of the boat and ran back. How could Xue Lince give them this opportunity, and let them fill up the ammunition to chase after the victory, and beat the opponent to death.

Seeing that the opponent ran away, all the soldiers won another round, cheering again.

There was still no loss in this battle. Xue Lince and the regent asked the soldiers to take a brief rest, adjusted the patrol team, and then relaxed.

The next morning, not long after Xue Lince woke up, he was still explaining matters to Tang Luoyu in the courtyard, when he suddenly heard a servant outside to report.

"Master Xue!"

The young man ran fast, and when he entered the courtyard, he was already sweating profusely and out of breath.

Xue Lince and Tang Luoyu looked at each other, exchanged a puzzled look, and then said unhurriedly, "Why are you panicking?"

"My lord," the boy stopped in front of the two, "the envoys from Dongwo have come! They say they want peace!"

Xue Lince's brows twitched, he didn't expect the Eastern Japanese to be so ruthless, and lost in just two battles.

"Have you informed the regent about this? Where are the envoys?"

The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I have already sent someone to report to the prince, but the envoy is still outside. Without your order and the prince's order, I dare not let him in, for fear of fraud."

"It doesn't matter," Xue Lince waved his hand, "Just let it in, the Eastern Japanese are cunning and suspicious, even if they are cheating, they will not come up with such a bad idea. You should let someone come over to meet me in person first, and let the prince come quickly."

"Yes!"

The boy got the order and hurried out the door again.
