The bamboo generals and firecrackers on the side carriage also opened fire, and the oncoming rows of lead under the thick smoke tore the infantry through the gaps one by one. The casualties were so severe that even the Kuduhu, who was watching from the rear, couldn't help but sweat for the infantry advancing at the risk of death in front, and these unreliable Han people could collapse at any time under such a dense attack.

In fact, these Han troops were not as indestructible as the legend, and the soldiers of the Tulong Army who were hiding in the side vans were surprised, and the soldiers of the Northland, who were known as destroying the mountains and the sea, would also be shaken when they were fired like a storm by the most elite crossbowmen and firearms men in the Song army, and some of the recruits in the middle and rear teams turned around and quietly ran backwards. But they couldn't escape far, and the well-armored warriors who walked in the last two rows of the line were either slashed with knives and axes, or shot directly with bows and arrows, and in short, the soldiers who dared to flee out of the ranks had no way out.

In this era, except for a very small number of famous generals who can boost morale and lead soldiers to victory, the so-called "elite of the Quartet" and "Hundred Battle Heroes" actually have more or less the existence of the supervising team. If you advance, you will die for a lifetime, and if you retreat, you will die categorically, and anyone will do this multiple-choice question. Sure enough, after the overseers of the escort team killed several people in a row, no one dared to retreat despite the rain of arrows and projectiles in the face of the infantry team.

Zheng Yunming stood up, pulled out the sword at his waist with a brush, held it in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The back army is lined up, and today it will be a showdown with the thieves!" Hundreds of soldiers with guns and axes stood in two rows more than a foot behind the side van, waiting for the final hand-to-hand combat, their expressions were stern and their bodies were straight, like an impregnable Great Wall between the deputy capital of Jing'e and the enemy troops who came forward at the risk of death.

"Where is Zhu Sheng?" Zheng Yunming stopped a former deputy general of the Tulong Army who was rushing in front of him: "If you can't command the troops at this joint, is there anything more important than command?" ”

The deputy didn't have time to reply, so he bowed down and pointed to a side van in front of him. There was a small group of people gathered there, and one of the familiar figures was none other than Zhu Sheng, the former army commander. Zheng Yunming knew that the van with a small triangular yellow flag on the front of the car was different from other cars, or rather, it was one of the two most valuable cars among the hundred cars. Because it is not a bamboo general or a wooden general that is carried on it, but a genuine copper general.

Zhu Sheng carefully added a piece of wood to the wooden wedge under General Tong's body, and when there were no movable cannon ears, they came up with such a way to adjust the pitch angle of the cannon muzzle, looked in the direction of the fire door, and after making sure that there was no error in the direction of the cannon muzzle, they made a gesture to the gunner holding the pine branch torch behind him.

The gunner placed the pine branch in the fire door behind him, and everyone tightly plugged their ears with their hands. A huge roar sounded, and an iron bullet flew out of the muzzle first, and the chain behind it was pushed out by a huge jet of gunpowder, and two cannonballs connected by an iron chain flew in the air? The mid-flight spun around and shot towards the formation of the Northern Infantry Army. Walking in the forefront of the Northland Han Army's formation, a standard-bearer holding a black flag could not dodge, and was hit by the flying iron chain just hit the neck, and fell down together with the head and half of the large flag that was twisted by the iron lock, with the neck blood spurting out of the body that had not yet fallen, the chain bullet had swirled and swept into the array of the Northland Army infantry, with the tragic shouts and the flying stumps and broken arms, a large number of Northland Army soldiers scattered and fell.

Zheng Yunming picked up the flag car, held the railing on the car with one hand, gently hit the railing, and shouted: "Good fight!" ”

At a time when General Tong was in mass production, Zheng Yunming began to think about equipping this new toy with the appropriate ammunition that would determine the direction of the war. There is no doubt that grapeshot, which is the type of ammunition used by artillery to reduce the impact of cavalry and eventually suppress cavalry for hundreds of years to come. In fact, before this, Zheng Yunming's subordinates had already stuffed all kinds of strange things into the muzzle of General Zhu or General Mu, including lead, small gravel, thorns in a circle, iron slag left by cast iron, broken feather arrows, and broken short knife fragments, all in all, Zheng Yunming could get unthinkable things they all stuffed into the muzzle, although Zheng Yunming had a headache when he saw this kind of indiscriminate tossing of his precious firearms, but he also had to admit it, This hodgepodge was so powerful that both infantry and cavalry were finally knocked down by a swarm of bees at close range. Such a terrifying power has also become a strong stroke in the myth of General Bamboo's invincibility. However, Zheng Yunming still insisted on formalizing the manufacture of grape bullets, which could not only take into account the range a little more widely but also have a shorter range, compared to the more versatile but shorter shotguns, and also form a death barrage in front of the artillery, so that the oncoming cavalry had nothing to hide.

Zheng Yunming Chapter 2o3 When the cavalry blaster who rises up to perform the charge, the chain bullet may also cause a longitudinal killing effect. Not to mention the fact that one day in the future, this special shell will reap unexpected miracles on the surface battlefield. Even if the production cost of such shells was higher than that of solid iron shells and grapeshot shells, it did not prevent Zheng Yunming from ordering small batches to produce them and equip them with troops.

Fortunately, I was lucky, and the damage caused by the first chain of bullets outweighed the cost of minting it. Zheng Yunming thought so, maybe the benefits of this chain bomb are not over yet. He watched as the Mongol and Han infantry on the opposite side suddenly roared in unison, disbanded the formation, and rushed towards the side van formation in an evacuated formation.

They were obviously frightened by this strange-shaped cannonball [read the novel, please enter the "hot-door small # say & net"], and immediately evacuated their formation, wanting to rely on the degree to avoid the damage of the next chain of shells. Therefore, there is still a distance of almost half a mile away from the van formation, and they have already evacuated their formation to disperse the impact.

Gluing Chongshan led the horse to stand in the rear, looking at the ridiculous behavior of the infantry formation in front of him, he couldn't help but scold: "Extremely stupid! How much pressure can be put on the enemy army by rushing up in such a messy way now? I think Zheng Yunming can block them all back with one hand! He waved his whip and yelled at Kuduhu, "Let the people of the Vultures go up!" ”

Kuduhu kept his face calm and said nothing. Yes, in addition to the Han army, he still has a card in his hand now, but this card he left for the Song army fortresses one after another in the southern mountains, if he loses too much here in vain, it will really disrupt his plan to sweep the periphery of Xiangyang step by step. It is precisely like this, in addition to the three thousand households of the Han army in his hands, he also left the reinforcements sent by Chagatai Khan for this southern expedition, and the 1,000 households of the Turpan Wu'er infantry army.

In the past, when Genghis Khan had not yet risen, the land east of the Green Mountains to the Yumen Pass belonged to the Western Liao rule developed by Dashi Linya, and the Western Liao ruled the country with Khitan nobles, and the main force of the army was mainly composed of two parts, the main force of the cavalry relied on the brave and warlike Kangli Turkic tribes, and the main force of the infantry came from the local settled Wuer residents. During the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs were also famous for their iron horses across the western states, but the land suitable for grazing in the Western Regions was far less suitable for cultivation than the land suitable for farming. The Uighur nomadic warriors settled more and more, becoming industrious peasants who worked with their backs to qanats, and vultures who traded as far west as the Black Sea and even the Great Qin Kingdom to the east as Goryeo. The infantrymen selected from the peasants had the same strong physique and good obedience as the soldiers of the Central Plains, and the wealth accumulated over the years of business allowed them to purchase sophisticated equipment for their troops, which together were the perfect example of the infantry of this era.

What's more, these infantry also have special siege skills that the soldiers of the Central Plains do not have. Kuduhu was extremely reluctant to let these troops plunge into a meaningless battle of vehicles. But gluing Chongshan is superior, and the Mongolian army is in battle with strict military law, so he had to raise his hand to signal the order: "Let the Wuer people go up to support the Han army!" ”

The herald gave his hand to his chest and turned to fly away. Soon, I saw more than hundreds of cavalry galloping from the rear, holding a green flag embroidered with a wolf's head for a standard-bearer behind a thousand households. The thousand households stepped forward, bowed to the Hudu Hu, and then turned back and shouted in Uighur language: "Dismount and line up!" ”

Nearly 1,000 Uighur infantry soldiers abandoned their horses and formed a formation in front of the army. An officer bowed to the thousand households and said, "Please Ye Hu dismount and carry the flag!" ”

After the Mongol conquest of Western Liao, the local nobles continued to lead the local people, so they added various Mongol titles to the local leaders, and then made them obey the Mongol Xuancha and the dispatch of local Mongol generals. Therefore, when the Uighur soldiers called their generals and masters, they still used the old official title of the headquarters, while the Uighur custom was that when the nobles of the headquarters and the infantry stood together, they held the banner of the headquarters in their hands and held a sword in one hand.
