Chapter 282: Death Vortex
Finally, the tense centaur appeared in Zu Dale's sight.
Zu Dale immediately came to his senses, he bit his lip and waited for the moment when Zhang Zhang stepped into the ambush circle!
However, the tension team stopped, just at the apex of a downhill stretch not far away.
What's the situation?
Why didn't he leave?
Did you find something?
Zu Dale was startled, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
The distance is very awkward now, and it was originally the most appropriate time to wait for Zhang Li to walk in front of the official road closest to this wood, and to launch a charge by himself.
Because the distance was only four or five hundred paces, and it was flat ground, it was just right for the cavalry to charge.
But now the tension stopped at a distance of more than a thousand paces, which meant that his cavalry had to run twice as long, and the second half was still uphill.
This half-uphill road is really not a suitable place for horses to charge.
Zu Dale frowned, and finally made up his mind.
No matter what, even if you run a little longer and go uphill, it's not a big deal, at most it's just a little more casualty!
Tension, you're already winged!
……
'Wanji, do you know what the biggest card in my hand is?' ‘
Zhang Li, who was at the back of the line, looked at Wanji with a smile, looking like he was pretending to be mysterious.
Wan Zhi stayed in the Tuanshan Fort to defend the city, and he received an order from the Sun Moon Pavilion master scout sent by Zhang Li last night to urgently go out of the city to respond.
However, it took more than half the night to carry 50,000 newly made palm mines from the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal, and it was not until dawn that the carriage came out.
And Lord Zhang's order was even more strange. actually asked him to detour to Xingshui Fort in the north and turn around in a big circle. Come to Caozhuang Station ten miles before the convergence.
It took another whole morning for Manji's teaching team, and finally at noon. I met up with Mr. Zhang at the predetermined location.
Zhang Zhang asked Wan Zhi what the biggest card was, Wan Zhi looked at the thunder in the palm of the carriage, and secretly thought: Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, didn't you go to great lengths to let me bring this thing? The cards you're talking about, they must be them, right?
Wan Zhi smiled slightly, and pointed to the carriageway where the thunder was pulled in the palm: "Could it be the thunder in the palm of these carriages?" ‘
In the direction of Wanzhi's finger, the carriages were carrying many large baskets, and the baskets were full of black pressed palm mines.
In order to prevent collisions and explosions caused by bumps, each palm mine is wrapped in a thick cloth cover. When it's time to throw it out. All you need to do is remove the thick cloth cover.
Zhang Zhang nodded, smiling without saying a word.
Wan Zhi looked at the palm thunder in the basket loaded in the carriage behind him with some doubts, and he still didn't seem to be at ease: "My lord, this palm thunder has been used in our shallow water beach and when we beat Zu Zepu, and the effect is okay, but——'
But not a thousand cavalry, can you? ‘
Zhang Zhang looked at Wan Zhi with a grin, with an expression of holding the four twos and four A's of the double king in his hands, and fighting the landlord with Zu Dale's shit card......
The tension is really good. The Ming Dynasty now focuses on importing firearms to import Hongyi cannons, but ......
The truth that a good horse deserves a good saddle seems to be ignored by everyone!
Zhang Zhang suddenly burst out laughing and glanced at Wanzhi meaningfully. Mysteriously said: 'Thunder in this palm, not thunder in the other'......
Zhang Li retracted his thoughts and glanced in the direction where Zu Dale was ambushing. He groaned, "I've been waiting for you to come all the way." Now let's converge. Guanning Iron Cavalry must be a place to die without a burial! ‘
Zhang Zhang suddenly felt a little crusted: "I haven't said that thunder in my palm." I want to be a 100,000 fucking mother at a time, and give Tartar a big surprise when the time comes. Unexpectedly, the first batch of 30,000 was used on the Ming Dynasty's own people. Alas-'
Wanzhi was silent, and he couldn't answer what he said......
The team of more than 1,000 people in tension did not move, but Zu Dale was unhappy!
Zu Dale lost patience and decided not to wait any longer.
'Pass my command, the enemy is only a thousand, don't wait, rush! ‘
Zu Dale shouted, and the thousand Guan Ning Iron Cavalry immediately took off all their disguises, turned over their horses, and rushed towards the team of tension!
Wood, lumps, and bulls, with no weapons in their hands, only thunder in their hands.
The 1,000 members of the entire regimental mountain army, plus the more than 300 members of the Wanzhi teaching team, had no weapons -- only mines in their hands.
Baskets of thunder in the palm of the hand were placed in front of the formation, like a monster with a bloody mouth, waiting for the arrival of Guan Ning's iron horse......
Zhang Li coldly looked at the overwhelming Guanning Iron Cavalry, and in his hand, he was also holding the thunder in his palm.
The distance of more than 1,000 steps is very far for the infantry, but the cavalry charge is different, and it is only half a column of incense kung fu, and the Guanning iron cavalry rushes up!
Zhang Li could even see the faces of the Guanning cavalrymen with hideous faces holding swords, maces, and sledgehammers.
In fact, the best weapons used by cavalry are blunt weapons, not sharp weapons.
The tremendous force of the horse's impact and the blow of a blunt weapon would have crushed the infantry......
One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps!
Thirty paces, it seems that the cavalry can reach the Tuanshan army by throwing the mace in their hands!
'Throw! - 'The tension screamed, and the Tuan Shan Army threw out the thunder in his hand with a hula!
'Boom, boom! - 'A super violent explosion rang out violently!'
Yes, super intense.
Far beyond the previous battle of the shallow water beach and the battle against Zu Zepu, the thunder explosion in the palm of the palm!
Charging in the front row, the more than 100 cavalrymen who were about to reach the Tuanshan Army were all killed, no exceptions!
For a while, the severed legs and stumps of the Guanning cavalry were scattered everywhere, and the stumps of the horses were even more terrifying!
With a bang, a bloody horse's head jumped to the side of the wood.
Wood was not distracted at all, grabbed the thunder in the basket and threw it out again.
'Boom, boom! - 'The incessant explosions are loud again!'
Guan Ning Tieqi couldn't close the brake at all, so he could only rush forward and rush towards the death vortex thirty steps away!
And the greatest lethality does not come from the thunder in the palm, but the violent explosion scene that is far beyond the normal situation. So that the horses near the death blockade line about thirty paces away from the Tuanshan army began to skewer around!
Completely uncontrolled by riding on horseback! Crash into each other, backwards, backwards, lefts, and lefts!
Just like the stampede that often happened in later generations - the lethality is far greater than that of weapons!
Zu Dale was behind the cavalry formation, and at this moment he saw that he was full of heart!
No way!
Lei Guangningjun also has it in his hand. There is no such lethality at all!
Zu Dale didn't react for a while, but he couldn't react. The inertia of the cavalry charge is too big and too big!
The worst thing is that the Guanning cavalry did not come out with bows and arrows at all!
Originally, the ambush shot by Zu Dashou was to prepare for the charge and lose 100 people, and then directly crush the past!
……
Zhang Li saw that the distance of thirty steps was a death chasm, and Guan Ning Tieqi couldn't rush it, so he put down the thunder in his hand.
Tuan Shanjun was still throwing happily, but Zhang Li's mind had already drifted away.
This kind of battle can never be repeated.
Fighting against the cavalry of Jiannu, it is absolutely impossible to replicate.
The reason is simple, Jiannu is a mounted archery. The point is to shoot!
How could the range of the thirty paces of the thunder in the palm of his hand be enough for the Jiannu cavalry who shot arrows at a distance of two hundred paces?!
That is, it is just bullying and bullying the Guanning cavalry, after all, the army of the Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to 'ride and shoot'.
Riding and archery is the strength of the steppe people, the horseback people!
The rest is just garbage time, it depends on when Zu Dale runs, if he wants to run, he can't chase after him......
Zu Dale's reaction was still too slow, and he lost more than half. When the three-foot-tall corpses were piled up in the 'death gap' in front of the Tuanshan army, the Guanning cavalry fell off their horses and fled......
Looking at the Guan Ning Iron Rider who fled in embarrassment, Mu finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Only then did he look down at the thunder in his hand!
This stuff has been used before. Why is it so powerful now, like a small universe?
All the officers and men of the regimental mountain army are the same as wood. stared blankly at the thunder in his hand.
With an excited look on his face, Wan Zhi walked up to Zhang Li's side: "My lord. This...... This is a thunderbolt in the palm of your hand...... The power is so great? ‘
Zhang Li smiled slightly. Yun said lightly: "Some things seem mysterious, but in fact they only need to be changed a little, it depends on whether anyone can think of it." ‘
Wanzhi looked surprised, bowed his head and was silent.
Zhang Li quickly diverted the topic: 'Let the soldiers clean up the battlefield!' ‘
'Yes! ‘
……
Cao Zhuangyi's return journey to Tuanshan Fort was naturally pleasant, and Zhang Li sat in the carriage, and this battle was unscathed!
1,000 infantry, against 1,000 cavalry - well, cavalry who could not shoot - there were no casualties - and dozens of soldiers were still wounded by what was thrown by the Guanning cavalry.
Selling cakes, this record is a bit arrogant!
After Zhang Zhang smiled, he closed his eyes and recuperated.
In fact, the thunder in this palm is not the thunder in the palm of the other, the reason is naturally black powder.
Some time ago, he improved the black powder made by the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal, using a fine ratio, that is, carbon 10: sulfur 15: nitrate 75.
This ratio is not the golden finger of later generations, which has been mentioned in Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Ji Xiao".
Their own killer lies in high-purity sulfur and saltpeter!
Fang Yizhi caught the line of the pirate, ah, no, the 'maritime merchant' Zheng Zhihu......
The principle of purifying sulfuric acid and nitric acid in chemical laboratories in later generations was known, but now they are not in a position to use it at all.
Now you can only make an idea from the raw materials.
The output of pyrite and nitrate ore in Daming is not small, and everyone has always used local ore to purify.
There are more impurities in these ores, and the effect is naturally 'hehe'.
However, its own sulfur comes from the Zheng family, and the Zheng family imports it from Iwo Jima, Japan.
Iwo Jima has volcanoes, and the sulfur there is brought out by volcanic eruptions, and the purity is very high, and there are many, many impurities less than ordinary pyrite.
And their own saltpeter mine also comes from Japan, there are many volcanoes in Japan, and the purity of saltpeter brought out by volcanic eruptions is far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Many of the sources of saltpeter are set up as 'nitrate collectors', and the amount of nitrate produced near the ancient aqua toilet is considerable.
However, the purity is poor! It's hard to deal with some poop urine stains or something, and it's hard to deal with dust and mud alone.
Japan is such a treasure land, uh, no, Japan's volcanoes are really treasured mountains!
Be sure to erupt more, and give Young Master Ben more high-purity sulfur and saltpeter!
Zhang Li suddenly felt that his thoughts seemed a little anti-human, and he couldn't help but smile: "I'm afraid I'm not human!" ‘
Not only the thunder in the palm, but also all the gunpowder used in the self-generated fire guns and the Franco machine guns were all imported high-purity sulfur and saltpeter, and the combat strength of the firearms unit of the Tuanshan Army was directly raised to a new level.
