Chapter 1443: Han Banner World (One Hundred and Thirty-Three) New Territory
The maximum range of heavy artillery is four miles. At this moment, the cannibal cavalry has entered the infantry square about three miles away. Above this distance, it is obvious that the cavalry can charge quickly. A premature charge will make the horses close to the enemy. However, the shooting distance of the Xinqin artillery obviously exceeded the expectations of the Dashi cavalry. ▲△△I want to read a book.一1￣kI want a to readn︿s一h书u◇.Book c◇c︿
The Xinqin people and the Great Eaters have clashed several times. It stands to reason that they already have a full understanding of this latest artillery. However, because the generals of the Great Eaters have all become cannons in the previous battles, The soldiers who fled back were treated as cowards and severely punished. What they said was considered to be the cowardly nonsense of the enemy. This made the generals of Mulu City reluctant to attack the door. We still lack sufficient understanding of this enemy in front of us.
The cavalry will be invincible in the world. This is his perception.
But reality gave him a hard blow.
Countless explosive bombs were sent to the charging road three miles away by heavy artillery. The sound of huge explosions was accompanied by sparks, smoke, and dense crowds. The food cavalry were wiped out piece by piece, and even men and horses were blown over. On the ground, the big man-eater's leather armor could not withstand the attack of the fragments produced during the explosion. If one hit him, he would basically be destroyed. On the other hand, the war horses had stronger vitality. They looked dripping with blood, but many of them were still neighing and struggling on the battlefield.
The roar of the artillery caused more war horses to start a commotion. These war horses had never heard such a huge roar. The knights on the horses desperately controlled the horses and began to charge forward, trying to distance themselves. If still If they are crowded together like this, the consequences will definitely be dangerous.
The heavy artillery fires in succession. After more than half a year of training, these skilled gunners are now very familiar with the operation of the artillery. ■一※Read△Book.Book 1 What's more, the gunners of each cannon were from the Han Dynasty, and these people arrived in Xinqin. The purpose is to cultivate a group of qualified gunners for the people of Xinqin.
Clean the chamber, cool it, apply medicine, tamp it, and load it. Ignite the fire, and a series of movements are as pleasing to the eye as flowing clouds and flowing water, but what is struck is the scythe of death.
There was a large gap in the charging cavalry team, and the orderly team appeared in a chaotic scene. Within two miles, the small field artillery began to prepare to fire. With the order to fire, these heavy-duty cannons were placed in the air. The field artillery dozens of steps in front of the artillery began to roar and roar. Compared to heavy artillery, this small cannon fires faster, with the larger artillery taking one shot per shot. This small gun can fire three rounds of shells, and based on the calculation of the ballistics and the improvement of the fuze, this small gun has been able to control the explosion time more accurately, which makes the shells explode in the air most of the time. Significantly increased lethality.
"Crossbow ready!" As the officers roared, the baffle of the vehicle-mounted crossbow at the forefront of the position was lowered with a clang.
Exposing the densely packed crossbow arrow holes inside. This kind of vehicle-mounted crossbow was not widely used in the Han army, because although this thing can shoot thousands of crossbow arrows at one time, it is relatively bulky. Just reloading the arrows took a very long time, and more soldiers were required to operate them. This caused this vehicle-mounted crossbow to be discontinued after a few hundred units were produced. But obviously, the Han people found a good buyer for this vehicle-mounted crossbow, Wang Jian.
This also allowed the private military workshop that made Ming's vehicle-mounted crossbows to struggle back from the edge of bankruptcy. These vehicle-mounted crossbows were almost covered by Wang Jian, at his request. A movable steel plate is installed in front of the crossbow. During field battles, these huge vehicle-mounted crossbows close the baffles and gather together to form a movable city wall.
In the gap between the vehicle-mounted crossbows is the smaller and more flexible Shenji crossbow. This kind of crossbow can adjust the angle and height at any time when shooting, and the crossbow installation has also been integrated. What needs to be replaced is only the shooting part in the crossbow machine. barrels, and each Shenji Crossbow is randomly equipped with several shooting barrels, allowing the Shenji Crossbow to shoot uninterruptedly on the battlefield. Gao Yuan also jokingly called it the machine gun of the Cold War era in his heart. Of course, it is also expensive, expensive Dewang Shears are even reluctant to use them in large quantities. Yikanshu w-ww. Instead, the bulky vehicle-mounted crossbow became Wang Jian's choice.
When the Dashi cavalry that broke through the bombardment of heavy artillery and small infantry artillery appeared in front of the Xin Qin army, they were already sparse and out of formation. Although these knights had a look of fear in their eyes, they still waved their sabers and fought desperately. Destroying the war horses, they launched a desperate attack on the enemy's majestic mountainous position.
Then, they fell to the locust-like shots from the Wan Zai crossbow. The divine machine crossbowmen who were preparing to fill in the gaps could not even find a chance to shoot the crossbow arrows in their hands.
Under the banner of the Chinese Army, Wang Jian showed a slight smile on his face. The smoothness of the battle was beyond his expectation. He originally thought that after several battles with the Great Cannibal, the opponent's fierce firepower of Xin Qin would be over. With some precautions, I will inevitably come up with some countermeasures. At least after seeing the artillery, I also came up with some targeted countermeasures. However, it seems that the reaction of these big cannibals is really too slow. Some, even though they have such a powerful long-range coverage strike, still believe in their own cavalry charges, which means they can only seek death.
The expected fierce battle did not appear. The long-range suppression of artillery and crossbows alone had already defeated Mulu City's army. What he had to do next was to clean up the final results.
Beside him, generals Huang Ming and Jin Yong also had excited faces. This battle was too easy, especially Jin Yong, who had fought against the Big Eater several times, and felt like he was getting angry.
The first confrontation between the Da Shiren and the Xin Qin people was fought by Jin Yong. Although he defended Kangju City in that battle, the heavy losses made him so distressed that he could hardly sleep. It was just a cannibalistic remnant of the defeated generals.
But now, they were facing the elite soldiers and horses of the Great Cannibal, but they still had no room to fight back in front of the Xin Qin people.
"If we all fight this way, it seems that it won't be long before we can destroy the big cannibals, seize their territory, and build a powerful country that is not inferior to the big Han." Jin Yong laughed.
However, his words did not resonate. Jin Yong glanced at Huang Ming beside him and Wang Jian in front of him strangely, only to find that they all had wry smiles on their faces.
Defeating Dashi may not be a fantasy, but it is not easy to be on an equal footing with the Han Dynasty. At present, the weapons used by the Xinqin soldiers, ranging from long-range artillery to small swords, guns, swords, halberds and bows, are basically produced by the Han Dynasty. What does Xin Qin compare with the Han Dynasty now? This is also the reason why Wang Jianzai fully realized the strength of the Han Dynasty and was willing to live in a vassal country.
The Han people provided weapons and ammunition, and he kept attacking forward, becoming a sharp blade in the hands of the Han people. Perhaps this was what the Han king was thinking. If they want to disobey the other party's wishes, they don't have to do anything. They will only cut off their own arms supply, and Xin Qin will immediately fall into a desperate situation.
The more he fights against the cannibal, the more he learns about the cannibal. Wang Jian finds that he has fallen into a dangerous game. If he doesn’t fight forward, the other party will come. Xin Qin and Da can Eating is two completely different cultures, and there is no room for buffering between the two sides. What's more, over the past year, with the pace of his attack, tens of thousands of cannibals have died under his own hands. This feud has become a big one. The other party's unique culture destined them to be unable to compromise with themselves. The only way to solve the problem between the two parties is blood and fire.
He slowly shook his head, thinking about what to do with these things. When he surrendered to Gao Yuan, he had already made up his mind that it would take several generations for Xin Qin to truly be independent. Now, He can only be the knife in Gao Yuan's hands honestly.
What he has to do is to use the value of this knife to earn more benefits for Xin Qin.
"Let's attack. Take Mulu City. This winter offensive can come to an end. Jin Yong, don't kill indiscriminately. We need men. Capture as many prisoners as possible. We need a large number of slaves to build our country. This But they are all strong men."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jin Yong smiled.
Twenty thousand cavalry disappeared into thin air, and Mulu City was like a big girl who had taken off her clothes, exposed in front of the Xin Qin people. They only fired a few symbolic cannons, and the big cannibals in Mulu City opened the city gate and opened their doors to the Xin Qin people. The Qin people surrendered, and tens of thousands of cannibals in the city immediately became the new Qin people's property. What made Wang Jian and others even more happy was that there were tens of thousands more slaves, and now the Han merchants who were freeloaders were The large-scale construction, road transportation, and water conservancy projects in Xinqin all require a lot of manpower and material resources, and Wang Jian is reluctant to put the relatively small number of Xinqin people into these tasks. These slaves are the best people. They don't need to be paid. You only need to feed them, which saves a lot of financial resources.
"Mulu City will be the frontline of our defense and the bridgehead for future attacks. The city defense here must be strengthened, and a small cover fortress must be built outside. The entire Muju City must be renovated, heightened, reinforced, and a new fort built. I hope it will be completed this winter. Complete these tasks." Standing on the city wall of Mulu City, Wang Jian pointed with the riding whip in his hand, "Jin Yong, you will still be responsible for guarding Mulu City. I will leave you 10,000 slaves. In addition, I will take care of the construction work. The team will be here as soon as possible.”
"Yes, Your Majesty. In the spring of next year, you will see a brand new Mulu City." Jin Yong smiled. (To be continued.)
