As a light direct-fire gun matched with the Tiger Cannon, the cost of a single cannon even exceeds that of the Tiger Cannon, for no other reason, because the Tiger Cannon is distributed to the infantry of the General and the battalion, while the Pan Dragon Cannon is a cavalry cannon.

The concept of cavalry artillery, not to mention that the Mongols have never thought of it, even the officials and people of the Great Song Dynasty have never had such an idea, in their thinking, the cannon is thick and calm, and the gun is light and flexible. In the eyes of the people of the world, artillery is a weapon that is as big as possible, no wonder the Mongol Empire was able to devote all its strength to casting Shenwu cannons, and the same in the Southern Dynasties, the call to make artifacts that can only appear in dreams is endless. During the period of Zheng Yunming's reign, the government hall even received a proposal from a folk craftsman to make a 300,000-jin super cannon, which discussed in detail the production process of the super cannon and the huge projectile of 3,000 catties that impressed the emperor very much, but such an artifact is naturally not something that any country can make, even if it can barely be made technically, the cost is too amazing, even if it is made with all his might, the road cannot be transported.

Zheng Xianggong's artillery development ideas were completely different from this, and under the condition of ensuring the power and firing range of artillery, he vigorously promoted the lightness of artillery, so that the artillery could be dragged away, rotated, and kept up, which became a very popular slogan in the Ordnance Supervision at that time. The development of this kind of thinking to the end is the emergence of the Beaulieu Cannon.

Although the shell weighed only three catties, and although it had to wrap cowhide on the barrel layer by layer in order to ensure the safety of the barrel, the mobility of the Beaulieu cannon reached a new height. In the drill in Jiangnan, the cavalry forcibly marched 300 miles day and night, and the Panlong cannon was still able to keep up with the speed. Although it was a forced march beyond the limit, paying the price of part of the damage to the artillery carriage and the failure of the horses. But this forced march itself represents the unique mobility of the Beaulieu Cannon.

When the forty-two Beaulieu cannons were pushed to the front line, there was a confusion in the Proton Army, no one could think that these galloping enemy cavalry would still carry artillery, and the artillery array on the opposite side made them feel a little helpless, but these young soldiers are not veterans who have experienced the power of artillery after all, those young and new talents who have just entered the battlefield do not care, even the so-called soldiers with combat experience who have participated in the expedition, most of them have also participated in Meng Ge's western expedition, He has only experience in attacking the enemy with the help of firearms, and lacks actual combat experience in direct artillery operations. But before they set out on the expedition, they all repeatedly received the continuous admonition of the officers, that is, they should not cower in the face of artillery, but should rush forward decisively, bear the casualties of the first round of fire, and then decisively break through the artillery position while the enemy is loading ammunition to kill the enemy.

Just after a short period of chaos, a frenzied shout suddenly erupted in the proton army, the horn suddenly sounded, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, the proton army scattered into a scattering array, rushing towards the Song army all over the mountains, they did not expect this evacuation formation to be able to move the dense array of the Song people, but the Song army's artillery power will be reduced by more than half.

"Grapegre loading! Install the No. 11 fuse! "With the order of the artillery commander, the loader quickly filled a basket of grapeshot into the gun chamber, and now the fuse is made of cork into the tube, and the slow-burning gunpowder is filled into the wooden tube, which is marked with a scale, and each section is about how long it burns, and the gunner commander issues an order when firing, sawing the letter tube according to the required time, and then stuffing the letter tube into the fire door, so that the signal tube fire time is more accurate, but how to estimate the time required for the shelling depends entirely on the commander's own experience, The gunner commanders of the Jimmu New Army were mostly drawn from the experienced gunners of Jinghu, and they used the new fuse by dividing a section of the field of view directly in front of the artillery, and using the fuse line of the corresponding time when the enemy was expected to pass through this area.

With a high-pitched "fire", the forty-two Beaulong cannons spewed out intense flames, and from the very beginning, the gunners of the Shenwu New Army understood that in the face of the enemy's assault, there could only be one chance, and then the enemy would rush in front of them. This is especially true for the dragon cannon whose projectile power has been weakened, although this is the case, but the power of the artillery is not comparable to the arrow firebolt after all, in the rushing iron pellet barrage, the proton army armor in front of them fell down one after another, but the rest of the horse army did not hesitate, and continued to charge wildly towards the Song army's position.

Han Feng pointed at the iron spear in his hand and shouted: "Go!" The cavalrymen clenched the weapons in their hands, and the warriors behind them shook their battle flags, and began to ride their horses forward, gradually trotting and accelerating after crossing the army's dragon artillery position, facing the surging black-armored knights to attack the past.

When the two waves of black and red collided together, the sound was terrifying, and countless blood and severed limbs flew in the roar of men and horses, and the soldiers and horses fell one after another, and soon a thick layer was piled up on the ground. The Mongols suffered a secret loss, and in order to avoid artillery attacks, they evacuated the formation, and when they fought with the Song cavalry who were struggling to break through, they were inevitably overwhelmed. The battle of the cavalry, the victory or defeat is a very fast matter, seeing that the charge of the Song people cannot be contained, even the proud proton army can only scatter and flee. In the cavalry rush like a wind, the Mongol army near the Shenwu cannon was slaughtered, and then immediately a cavalry stabbed the fire gate of the Shenwu cannon with a wrought iron rod, slammed it with a sledgehammer to seal the fire gate, and then the army divided into dozens of teams, each of which pursued the retreating enemy.

Han Feng immediately approached a Shenwu cannon in front of him, his two sharp eyes nervously looked around the situation on the battlefield, and he suddenly shouted to the back sergeant beside him: "Blow the horn and let the soldiers in front regroup!" ”

In the military regulations of the Shenwu New Army, the three rings of the horn are marked by the commander's banner, and the meaning of the army to stop fighting and quickly assemble, Han Rui was both shocked and angry, he led a team of cavalry to catch up with thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and was waiting for the moment to rush and kill, but had to return to the horse to regroup his forces, he urged the horse to go straight to the eldest brother, and said eagerly: "This is the moment to take advantage of the situation to annihilate the Proton Army, indulge the enemy for a while, and harm for thousands of years, why did Dutong order to assemble again at this time?" ”

Han Feng said calmly: "Gather the horse team and prepare for a decisive battle, the enemy has already surrounded here!" ”

Han Rui was startled at first, and then quickly glanced at the battlefield in the distance, and sure enough, there were black flags moving in the distance on all sides.

The attack on the Shenwu cannon, just like the queen bee's nest in the hive, immediately aroused the most sensitive nerves of the entire Mongolian army. The Mongol troops everywhere, seeing the flags shaking in the direction of the Shenwu cannon, and the sound of killing shook the sky, they were like enraged worker bees, swarming towards the place of fierce fighting. In the battle of the Red Willow Forest in the past, Temujin was able to strictly control the advance and retreat of his subordinates in order to achieve the final victory, but now the golden order of the Great Khan has not been fired, and all the military horses have gone to battle on their own, which is the resurgence of the chronic disease of the tribal chiefs in the old Mobei era, of course, this is a good thing for Zheng Yunming and the Great Song Dynasty, but it may not be a good thing for Han Feng, who is just the brunt of it. Although the nerves of this beast have been weakened, its muscles and minions are still there, and in an instant, the fierce cavalry who are proficient in martial arts have come out of the camp one after another, outflanking Han Feng's cavalry team from all sides, which is not good news for Han Feng in the eye of the storm and his eight thousand red-armored cavalry.

Han Rui's eyes were on fire, but he didn't give orders, and he couldn't lead his troops to rush to kill, not to mention that he was surrounded by a large army today, and he had to have ten Han Rui to get out of danger, how should he, the eldest brother, command his subordinates to get out of trouble smoothly at this time?

Han Feng waved his horsewhip in the direction of the northwest corner: "Rush there!" ”

Kublai Khan, the most capable and now the most powerful prince of Mongolia, when evaluating the two confidants of Zheng Yunming, the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, believed that both of them were excellent generals who were not inferior to the first-rate generals of Mongolia, among which the evaluation of Wei Sheng was Xiao Yong, Wei Sheng led the infantry army to fight to the death, always as if he was a desperate tiger, biting and fighting without listening, until the enemy besieging it panicked and collapsed, although such a battle was very substandard, but no enemy dared to underestimate such an army.

Han Feng is wise and brave, Han Feng's red armor assault is indeed a very deterrent tactic, but the cavalry of the Song Dynasty is categorically impossible to match the Mongolian army in quality and quantity overnight, taking the Jinghu General Battle as an example, the Mongolian army is 400,000 people, everyone with horses, the total number of war horses exceeds 1.2 million, and the elite cavalry who can fight is more than 200,000. The total number of cavalry of the Song army did not exceed 35,000, it is true that because of the enhancement of the national strength of the Song Dynasty and the cherishing of cavalry by the Song army, the equipment of the cavalry was much higher than the general equipment of the Mongolian cavalry.

In the face of such a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, the secret of Han Feng's repeated victories is to see through the weaknesses of the enemy army in the formation. No matter how clever the commander is, his marching formation will never be without weaknesses, even if the deployment in advance can really be foolproof, once it is put into battle, or transferred, there are many loopholes to follow, and the difference between mediocre generals and famous generals is that generals with mediocre intelligence can not see this flashing loophole, even if they see it, it is difficult to seize the fighter forcefully, and the famous general can seize this fleeting opportunity and fight the enemy's loophole with all his might.
