Artillery, after listening to Wei Wu's description, Su Mo's first thought was artillery. But then it was vetoed again.

In his memory, although the European artillery and musket technology surpassed that of China, there was not much difference in this period.

I still remember "Braveheart", "Cavalry on the Roof", these movies, the wars between European countries are standing in rows, and then shooting at close range of each other, looking funny and clumsy, where did you come from such a dense statement of rows of artillery fire?

In fact, this is a misunderstanding that Su Mo understands, and it is also that he does not really understand the history of the development of superheated weapons, especially in Europe.

In real history, the development of firearms in Europe has accelerated since the thirteenth century. By the end of the 14th century, almost all European countries had begun to formally incorporate thermal weapons into the battle sequence.

And the development of muskets and artillery is a cycle of mutual promotion and development. The range, rate of fire, and power of the musket were still in the period of black powder, and the only way to improve them was to use their brains from the carrier.

Increase the caliber of the musket, increase the volume of the musket, and increase the number of units that can be fired at the same time. As a result, a firearm between muskets and artillery appeared. Then, gradually, it began to polarize again, and finally completely became another single high-power weapon: artillery.

And this is the time of this change. The dense large-caliber musket in Wei Wu's mouth is actually a super-large-caliber platoon gun.

Ten to twelve super-large caliber launchers can be fixed to the hull at the same time, and the maximum design number can even reach sixteen. It then used a large row of shields as a cover diagonally, and was dragged by horses.

The soldiers for this purpose were a combat group consisting of a marksman, two cart men, a shield bearer, and two pikemen.

This configuration model, in the late 14th century until the early and mid-15th century, became standard equipment for a time, and it was very popular. This abounds in many pictures of European battles left behind by later generations.

The reason why this model is not common in some film and television works in later generations is actually just a matter of investment cost. After all, commercial films still have to be profitable, and too much investment is not in the interests of investors.

And if you are not a military fan who really studies the history of firearms, such as Su Mo, of course, you can't imagine it.

However, although Su Mo couldn't imagine this, he was keenly aware of the danger caused at this time.

As the saying goes, everything has a benefit and a disadvantage. Although he successfully took advantage of Russia's southward movement at this time, he contained Dayan Khan, thus forcing Dayan Khan to focus northward, and then seek an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. However, this also gives the development opportunities of those small forces that were originally swaying left and right between the two major forces of the grassland.

In contrast to Dayan and Ismain, these small forces don't care who wins in the end. They only know that once these two great forces collapse, the huge void left behind will be an immortal opportunity that they can hope to replace them!

Then, on behalf of the envoy of the Ming court, it is better not to achieve the mission. Otherwise, once the two sides are truly allied, after repelling the enemy in the north, it will be their small and medium-sized tribes that will be cleared up in the final reshuffle.

And the grassland is always constantly conquered, for thousands of years, I don't know how many tribes have had a long or short glorious period. For example, the former Turks, the former Xianbei, the former Murwei, the Donghu, and so on.

Therefore, at this moment, under this change, the current big enemy has been eliminated, and in its place, there will be countless small and medium-sized enemies. Su Mo knew that in the future of the journey, he was afraid that he would have to face countless unknown enemies.

"Meng Yu, inform the fifth brother of our destination in detail, and immediately send scouts to inform the other side first, and prepare for battle. ”

Su Mo groaned slightly, and immediately gave an order. It is obviously impossible for the chasing enemy behind to know that there will be a strong response here, let alone that there is such a combat force as themselves. Then, this gives his side an opportunity to gather and annihilate the enemy.

And the reason why he was determined to annihilate this group of Russians was not just to rescue Wei Wu, but more importantly, Su Mo was very curious about the extent to which European firearms had developed at this time. If he could use this battle to win and capture their firearms, it would be of great significance to his future plans.

Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Su Mo's intentions. I have to say that although there has been a deviation in comprehending the intentions of his own master, but purely militaryly, Meng Yu is worthy of being the Meng family army that dominated the world in the past.

The military order was quickly conveyed, and the entire team turned to the east, in a situation far parallel to Wei Wu's team of green turban thieves, and quickly marched towards the target location. Wei Wu's team, on the other hand, was a little behind, and simply used itself as bait to lure the Russians who were biting behind them to the ambush circle.

"Childe, are you sure?The other party's firearms are sharp, I'm afraid of ......" Wei Wu asked in a worried low voice as he walked side by side with Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled and pouted, "Fifth brother rest assured." Even you and I never thought that we could meet here, so how could those polar bears think that there would be such a blow? What's more, coupled with the Mengjia army that used to crisscross the six countries, it would be inevitable for him to be wiped out. Hey, this time I must know that these barbarians know that Dongfang Huaxia is not something that they can step into at will. ”

When Wei Wu heard what he said, his face couldn't help but show heroic passion, and he said highly: "Okay! Since Gongzi has such ambitions, what is Wei Wu even more afraid of! I am willing to attach Gongzi Jiwei and fight him happily and never give up!"

Su Mo snorted, whipped his horse and walked away, and laughed: "The fifth brother is bad, he is not arrogant, he is just a thousand ghosts, what are you talking about? ”

Wei Wuda was overjoyed, no longer spoken, and in the sound of cheering, the people and horses rolled forward in the two times, and all the people they met along the way, regardless of the reason, were all killed.

The green scarf thief crisscrossed the grassland, stirring up the wind outside the plug, and its strength went without saying. That is, at first glance, he was not good at the advantages of the Russians' firearms, so there was such a defeat, what is there left in his eyes?

And under Su Mo's command, it is a newly built army of fanatics who have been brainwashed, maybe the combat experience is not as good as that of the Green Turban Army, but the desperate energy that is not afraid of death is even Wei Wu is terrified when he sees it.

This is the case in this world, the horizontal is afraid of being stunned, the stunned is afraid of dying, and no matter whether the horizontal is stunned or not dying, when encountering a group of crazy people, no one has to retreat. After all, a normal person fighting a normal person is called a war, but if you fight a madman, it is really a psychopathy.

And the religious fanatics of Su Mo's men are undoubtedly the madmen of the madmen. Now, it's been eight lifetimes of mold.

However, a day later, the two armies finally arrived at their destination, but it was a valley between mountains and forests. Wei Wu is an old soldier, and he is amazed at a glance, the terrain here is complex, except for a plain outside the valley mouth, which completely limits the advantages of the cavalry conflict. Even the Russian army that chased behind it arrived here, and the dense forests and undulating mountains would also greatly reduce the power of artillery fire, so that ten percent of its combat power could be exerted at most three or four percent.

If the ambush is properly placed, luring it into the valley, then the ambush troops will be exhausted, and then the cavalry will cut and annihilate it, and completely annihilate the terrible firearms army.

And when Su Mo and the others arrived here, the team of the green scarf thieves was still behind to lure the enemy, and Meng Tong, the leader of the Mengjia army, who had already received the notice from Meng Yu first, led his leaders to come out and then saw each other in two times.

However, at this time, the big war was imminent, and both sides knew that it was not a polite time, and after a simple introduction, Su Mo immediately handed over the command to Meng Tong without hesitation.

He took the opportunity to make a coincidence, and it was probably okay to arrange it with his knowledge beyond this time, but if he really wanted to talk about the marching formation, he knew that he was self-conscious, not to mention that Mengtong, a veteran general in the army, was far inferior to Mengyu, Wei Wu and others. That being the case, it is reasonable to simply hand over power.

It's just that this made Meng Tong and others very surprised, and in addition to the surprise, they were also moved and admired. No wonder the head of his family admired this Su Gongzi so much, and he did not hesitate to mobilize the strength of the entire Meng family army to help. This Su Gongzi is open-minded and open-minded, and he can be so trustworthy when he meets for the first time, and even his own team is under his command, which alone makes people can't help but feel the admiration of the death of a person who is a confidant.

Su Mo didn't know that a clumsy move could produce such an unexpected additional effect. After handing over all the military power, he carefully told Olisses and Baru, and then took the fat man and Francesco, as well as Zhuang Hu and Tang Meng, to hide in the highest mountain, ready to carefully observe the combat strength of the Russian army.

After an hour passed, I saw a large dust rise in the distance, and the surface of the ground shook slightly. Faintly, there were countless people shouting and neighing.

Su Mo's six senses were far beyond ordinary people, and he was the first to notice the situation, Huo Ran turned around and looked into the distance. Sure enough, just a moment later, Meng Tong and Meng Yu came over with a few guards, clasped their fists and said, "Childe, the other party is here." I'll say goodbye for the time being, and after retreating from the enemy, I'll come back to greet my son. ”

Su Mo smiled slightly, his big sleeves swayed lightly, and he pretended to be indifferent: "It's so good, let people put wine and food on the table, and my son will wait here, quiet the audience, and break the enemy!"
