In addition, everyone also saw another type of chariot, which was similar in form to the previous one, but was not equipped with artillery, but a cylindrical object.
It looked very strange and no one knew what it was, so people were talking about it.
When Xiong Tingbi heard their discussion, he understood that this cylindrical object was actually a hand-cranked miniature machine gun.
In addition to these, there is another type of vehicle that has nine iron barrels pulling behind it, all facing the sky, which looks very strange.
These barrels were of different sizes and specifications, so no one knew what they were. Some officials even started making private bets.
When Xiong Tingbi saw this, his jaw dropped in astonishment. A vehicle-mounted rocket launcher, actually mounted on a horse-drawn carriage?!
These rocket launchers can also be moved up and down, and after loading, they can fire nine rockets at a time. The different sizes of the iron barrels are because the types of rockets are different, some heavy and some light, and the firing distances are also different.
These things were very new, and the people of Liaodong had never seen them, nor had Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi had only seen them in the emperor's letters, but he didn't know how to fight with these things.
The infantrymen at the rear of the convoy were all wearing plate armor, which looked very light. They carried long muskets on their backs, and bayonets at their waists, making it clear they were all musketeers. This formation was strange, and it was a bit of a surprise to see.
Xiong Tingbi was a little worried. The equipment of these people looked very good and they had paid a lot of money for it. But could these messy things be used in a war?
This matter is very important, and we must not make any mistakes. What if something goes wrong?
Xiong Tingbi began to think about what method he could use to stabilize them.
These people are the royal guards, sent by His Majesty, so he naturally cannot let them sit on the bench. Otherwise, they will be dissatisfied, and His Majesty will be dissatisfied too.
But if he lets them go to the battlefield to fight, and if things go wrong, what will happen to him, Old Bear?
If the entire battle fails, it might be his fault.
Therefore, we must find a way to prevent the emperor's personal soldiers from finding fault and from doing anything.
However, this method seemed difficult to think of, and Xiong Tingbi had a headache.
However, Xiong Tingbi did not have much time to think, as the team here had already stopped.
This surprised the people in Liaodong again.
After the emperor's personal troops came to a halt, they stood there motionless. The entire army seemed extremely solemn, with no one even raising a finger, they just stood there in silence.
If it weren't for the occasional blink, these people would have looked like wooden stakes. Even the horses stood still, only occasionally paddling the ground and snorting.
The entire group of people didn't make any unnecessary movements, which was very strange and made people feel numb.
Xiong Tingbi's eyes lit up instead, and he seemed to have some understanding in his mind. These people didn't seem to be that bad.
You know, in the military, strict discipline is very important. Why?
Because we need to ensure that the battle formation is in place. In a military formation, if the battle formation is not formed and becomes chaotic, then it is all over.
As for these people in front of me, apart from other aspects, their discipline seems to be quite good.
Among the team, three people rode out on horseback.
All three of them were very young, but they were all wearing armor, and they looked quite heroic.
After the three men rode their horses over, they dismounted together and went straight to Xiong Tingbi.
After seeing Xiong Tingbi, the leader clasped his fists and said, "Sun Chuanting, the commander of the left army of the Imperial Guard, greets Governor Xiong."
After hearing this, Xiong Tingbi quickly bowed and said, "Master Sun, please don't be polite."
The commander of the left army of the imperial guards' office was a fourth-rank military officer, so his status was naturally not as high as Xiong Tingbi's. However, Xiong Tingbi did not dare to underestimate him, as he was the emperor's personal guard and was naturally superior to others.
It was just that the imperial army had been in decline before and was trampled under the feet of the civil officials. Now that it has risen, the treatment is naturally different.
Besides, he, Lao Xiong, is also His Majesty's man. If the other party gives him face, he must also give him face. A fancy sedan chair carried by everyone is better than anything else.
"Please come in, Lord Sun." Xiong Tingbi smiled and made a gesture of invitation, then turned and walked into Shenyang City.
At the same time, Xiong Tingbi glanced at the young man to Sun Chuanting's right. This young man was tall, with a large sword slung across his waist, looking very majestic and powerful. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be a very capable fighter.
Xiong Tingbi immediately determined that this young man must be a formidable warrior. He just didn't know how capable he was, but he was actually a little bit excited.
Once they entered the city, the staff would naturally take care of the arrangements. These tasks were familiar to the people of Shenyang City. Shenyang City was now a massive military formation, so accommodating 5,000 troops was no problem.
After the group entered, Xiong Tingbi said with a smile, "Lord Sun, I have prepared a meal to welcome you. However, Shenyang is a border town, so there is nothing special to entertain you. The food is a little simple, so don't mind it."
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting was not surprised.
There is nothing to say if the other party doesn’t even give you food, let alone feed you.
Sun Chuanting and his men had their own food, and he didn't want to eat with Xiong Tingbi. Sun Chuanting came with a mission, and this time he had to get it done well and beautifully, so he had no desire to eat.
