Chapter 1443: Han Banner World (133) New Territory
The ultimate firing range of heavy artillery is four miles, at this moment, the cavalry of the big cannibal has entered the infantry phalanx for three miles, above this distance, the cavalry is obviously still possible to launch a rapid charge, a premature charge will make the war horse when approaching the enemy, but lose its powerful impact, generally speaking, the cavalry in a mile or so to launch a rapid charge is the best distance, however, the shooting distance of the new Qin artillery obviously exceeded the expectations of the big cannibal cavalry.
The New Qin people and the Great Cannibal have clashed several times, and it stands to reason that they already have a full understanding of this latest type of artillery, but because the Great Cannibal's commander generals have become unjust souls under the cannon in the previous few battles, the soldiers who fled back were regarded as cowards and were severely punished, and what they said was all considered to be the nonsense that was broken by the enemy, which made the Great Food General of Mulu City still lack sufficient understanding of the enemy who hit the door.
The Great Eclipse Cavalry is invincible in the world. That's how he knew it.
But reality hit him hard.
Countless flowering shells were sent by heavy artillery to the charging road three miles away, and the huge explosion sound was accompanied by sparks, smoke, and densely packed together, and the Great Cannibal Cavalry was swept away one by one, and even the people and horses were blown to the ground, and the leather armor of the Great Cannibal could not resist the attack of the fragments produced during the explosion, but if he caught one, he was basically gone. On the contrary, the war horse has a stronger vitality, and it looks bloody, but there are still a lot of neighing, struggling to scurry on the battlefield.
The roar of the artillery made more war horses start to stir, these war horses, never heard such a huge roar, the knights on the horses desperately harnessed the war horses, began to charge forward, trying to pull away the distance, if they were still crowded together like this, the end would definitely be dangerous.
Heavy artillery was fired in echelons. After more than half a year of training, these skilled gunners are now very familiar with the operation of artillery, not to mention, the commanders of each cannon are from the Han Dynasty, and these people arrived in Xinqin for the purpose of training a group of qualified gunners for the Xinqin people.
Clearing, cooling, medicating, tamping. Reloading, ignition, and a series of actions are as pleasing to the eye as the clouds of peers, but it is the scythe of death that hits out.
There was a large blank space in the ranks of the charging Great Eclipse Cavalry, and the orderly ranks appeared in confusion, and within two miles, the small field guns began to prepare for firing, and with the order to fire, these field guns placed dozens of paces in front of the heavy artillery began to roar and roar. Compared to heavy artillery. This small cannon has a faster rate of fire, and it is capable of firing three flowering shells per round of large guns, and according to the calculation of ballistics and the improvement of the fuse. This small cannon has been able to control the explosion time more accurately, which makes this flowering shell explode in the air most of the time, greatly increasing the lethality.
"Crossbow Bolts Ready!" With the roar of the officers, the baffle of the vehicle-mounted crossbow at the forefront of the position was lowered with a clatter. Revealing the dense crossbow bolt holes inside. This vehicle-mounted crossbow was not commonly used in the Han army, because although it could shoot thousands of arrows at a time, it was relatively heavy. After a single shot, it took a long time to reload the arrows, and more soldiers needed to operate them, which made this kind of vehicle-mounted crossbow discontinued after hundreds of units were produced, but it is clear that the Han people found a good buyer for this vehicle-mounted crossbow, Wang Shear.
This also made the private military workshop that invented the vehicle-mounted crossbow struggle back from the brink of bankruptcy, these vehicle-mounted crossbows, almost wrapped around by the king's scissors, at his request, the front of the crossbow machine was installed with a movable steel plate, in the field, these huge vehicle-mounted crossbows closed the baffle, gathered together, a moving city wall.
In the gap of the vehicle-mounted crossbow, is a smaller, more flexible crossbow, this crossbow can be adjusted at any time when firing, the angle, height, and the crossbow has also been integrated, what needs to be replaced, is only the launch barrel in the crossbow machine, and each crossbow is randomly equipped with several launchers, so that the crossbow can shoot continuously on the battlefield, and is also known as the machine gun during the Cold War in Gao Yuan's heart, of course, he is also expensive, so expensive that Wang Shear is even reluctant to use a large number of them. On the contrary, the bulky vehicle-mounted crossbow became the first choice of Wang Scissors.
When the Great Eater Cavalry, who had broken through the heavy artillery and small infantry bombardment, appeared in front of the New Qin army, it was already a sparse formation, and although these knights had a look of fear in their eyes, they still brandished their sabers, desperately destroying their horses, and launched a desperate assault on the enemy's towering position.
Then they fell into the firing of crossbows like flying locusts. The crossbowmen who were ready to fill in the gaps couldn't even find a chance to shoot their crossbow arrows.
Under the banner of the Chinese army, Wang Jian's face showed a slight smile, the smooth operation of the war was beyond his expectations, he originally thought that after a few wars with the big cannibals, the other party had some precautions against the fierce firepower of Xinqin, and would inevitably come up with some ways to deal with it, at least after seeing the artillery, he also came up with some targeted response methods, but it seems that the reaction of these big cannibals is really too slow, under the powerful long-range coverage attack on their own side, If they are still superstitious about their cavalry charge, then they can only find death.
The expected fierce battle did not appear, and the long-range suppression of artillery and crossbow arrows alone had already crushed the army of Mulu City, and the next thing he had to do was to clean up the final results.
By his side, the generals Huang Ming and Jin Yong were also full of excitement. This battle was fought too easily, especially Jin Yong, who had fought with the big cannibal several times, and he even had a bad breath.
The first confrontation between the Great Cannibal and the New Qin was fought by Jin Yong, and in that battle, although he held Kangju City, the losses were so heavy that he was so distressed that he could hardly sleep. And that's just the defeat of a remnant of a great cannibal army.
But now, they are facing the elite soldiers and horses of the Great Cannibal, but they are still in front of the New Qin people, and there is no room to fight back.
"If we all play like this, it seems that it won't be long before we can destroy the big cannibals, grab their territory, and build a powerful country that is not inferior to the Han Dynasty." Jin Yong burst out laughing.
However, his words did not resonate, Jin Yong glanced at Huang Ming beside him and Wang Jian in front of him a little strangely, but found that their faces showed wry smiles.
Defeating the Great Food may not be a fantasy, but if you want to be on an equal footing with the Great Han, it is not easy to talk about it, and the weapons used by the current New Qin Army, from long-range artillery to swords, guns, halberds, bows and arrows, are basically produced by the Great Han. What does Xin Qin compare with the Great Han now? This is also the reason why Wang Jian fully realized the strength of the Han Dynasty and was willing to live in a subject country.
The Han people provided weapons and ammunition, and they kept attacking forward, becoming a sharp blade in the hands of the Han people, or this was what the king of the Han Dynasty thought in his heart. If they wanted to disobey the other party's wishes, they didn't have to do anything, they just cut off their own arms supply, and Xin Qin would immediately fall into a desperate situation.
The more you fight with the big cannibal, the more you know about the big cannibal, Wang Jian finds himself caught in a dangerous game, if he doesn't fight forward, the other party will also come to the door, Xinqin and the big food are completely two completely different cultures, there is no buffer room between the two sides, not to mention, over the past year or so, with the pace of his own attack, there have been tens of thousands of big cannibals who have died under his hands, and this feud has become big. The other party's unique culture dooms them to be impossible to compromise with themselves, and the only way to solve the problem between the two sides is blood and fire.
He shook his head slowly, thinking about what to do, when he was a vassal to Gao Yuan, he had already made up his mind, Xin Qin, it must take several generations to be able to be truly independent, and now, he can only be the knife in Gao Yuan's hand honestly.
And what he has to do is to use the value of this knife to earn more benefits for Xinqin.
"Attack, take Mulu City, this winter offensive can come to an end, Jin Yong, don't kill indiscriminately, we need people, capture as many prisoners as possible, we need a large number of slaves to build our country, these are all strong men."
"Yes, King!" Jin Yong said with a smile.
20,000 cavalry disappeared, Mulu City was like a big girl who had stripped off her clothes, naked in front of the New Qin people, just symbolically fired a few cannons, the big cannibals in Mulu City, then opened the city gate, surrendered to the New Qin people, tens of thousands of big cannibals in the city, and the property immediately became the capture of the New Qin people, and what made Wang Jian and others even happier was that there were tens of thousands of more slaves, and now the Han merchants led by the hitchhiker are building a lot of construction, road transportation, and water conservancy hubs in the New Qin, which require a lot of manpower and material resources, And to put the new Qin people, who don't have many people, into these jobs, Wang Jian is reluctant. These slaves were the best people, they didn't need to be paid, they just needed to be fed, and they saved a lot of money.
"Mulu City will become the front line of our defense and the bridgehead of our future attack, the city defense here will be strengthened, a small cover fortress will be built outside, and the entire Muju City will be renovated, heightened, reinforced, and a new fort will be built, I hope to complete these works this winter." Standing on the city wall of Mulu City, the horsewhip in Wang Jian's hand pointed, "Jin Yong, Mulu City is still guarded by you, leaving you 10,000 slaves, and in addition, the construction team of the hitchhiker will arrive here in the shortest possible time." ”
"Yes, my lord. At the beginning of spring next year, you will see a brand new Mulu City. Jin Yong said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
