Why did Wang Han bomb that ringleader?

Because the leader is one of the few smart people in the Qiang tribe, he led the cavalry to rush to the front, and as a result, more than ten thunders sounded in a row, and more than ten openings were opened in the middle of the bombing team.

In this situation, the leader quickly adjusted his strategy and told the cavalry to stop the pursuit.

From a military point of view, the boss did the right thing. The appearance of powerful firearms in the enemy army is unprecedented, and the lethality is huge, and the most important thing is that the battle formation of the enemy is in chaos, and if it continues to advance, it is tantamount to sending him to death in vain.

In front of the enemy's formation, there are not only twenty strange-shaped thick cannon barrels, but also thousands of leather armor archers in neat formations.

If it weren't for the thunder-like cannon sound that cut off the follow-up cavalry, it would have been possible to rush up and slash a wave with the running speed of the horse, as long as they rushed into the enemy's formation, those archers would have become watermelons that could be abused by others, even if thousands of people died on their own side, but the outcome of the war was favorable.

At present, the follow-up cavalry collided and stampeded, like a long sword cut off from the middle, and the follow-up was weak, how to attack in this case? It is only right to fight early to defend early, and then make plans when you go back and regroup in battle.

Therefore, the leader ordered everyone to stop the pursuit at a critical moment.

Wang Han saw his intentions, and where he was willing to let him go, of course, he had to bomb him to death first.

Wang Hou's previous orders in the big tent were understood by other generals or not, Wang Han was a veteran of the battlefield, and he knew that Wang Hou had the idea of making dumplings for the opponent's 40,000 horses, so he did not fire at the nearest range when the enemy had just entered 800 steps, and he was afraid that the sound of artillery explosions would scare the enemy away.

At the beginning of the design of artillery, Wang Han said that artillery is the nemesis of cavalry, not only because of the power of the yellow powder explosion, but more importantly, because of the terrifying effect of the blast wave on the horse, the most famous example in the history of the army is the Opium War.

The Manchu 50,000 cavalry fought against the 7,000 allied forces of foreign devils, but the Manchus lost more than 10,000 people, and the devils only suffered more than 20 casualties. The results were so disparity, in addition to the power of the musket, the more important thing was the artillery.

The Manchu horses may have heard the sound of cannons, but it was only a black powder cannon, and the sound of the explosion was muffled. The explosion of yellow powder shells is a sonic shock, and the yellow powder shells with a certain yield can shock people to death through 30 centimeters of cement, which shows its great power.

During World War II, there were many more devils who died under shells, bombs, grenades, than bullets, and they were all examples of war.

The explosion of a shell can shock people at close range, and the eardrum of a person can rupture at a distance, causing deafness.

What about horses? Horses can hear six times as much as humans, and even more so when people are shocked by their eardrums.

The horse's eyesight is very poor, because its eyes are long on both sides, and the overlapping part of the field of vision in the center is very narrow, only about 30 degrees, less than one-third of that of carnivores.

Horses are contagious, and they will transmit their fear to other horses, which is the nature of animals living in nature. In the wild herd, usually when one horse feels scared, the herd will run wild, which is nature's compensation for the horse's poor eyesight.

Horses will go berserk and run aimlessly, which is very deadly on the battlefield, and even the most experienced jockey will be helpless when suddenly encountered. Therefore, the war horses used in the First World War had to be trained in guns, and even so, the war horses were eliminated by the war because the artillery was becoming more and more powerful.

Wang Han knew this very well, so he told Zhao Ji that he could make a cavalry nemesis.

Before the war, Wang Han asked Wang Hou for his opinion, how to arrange his artillery, Wang Hou behaved very casually, which made Wang Han depressed, so he didn't say much, but he was very sure in his heart, and when his artillery sounded, Wang Hou would definitely be impressed.

Wang Han expected that his artillery would be impressive, but he didn't expect the effect to be so obvious, it was the first round of twenty explosions, and the cavalry of the Qiang people was out of proportion, the rear section was trampling, and the front section wanted to run back, and there were still more than 300 steps away from the Song army, and the Qiang people's horse team turned left and right, not daring to approach.

The archers of the Song army had all drawn their bows, and they were about to release their arrows when the Qiang cavalry entered the firing range, but they did not come.

Wang Han's heart jumped when he saw it, and secretly said that it was not good, Wang Hou's dumpling plan was blown up by his own twenty shells.

At the same time, Wang Hou's Chinese army in the rear also found that the signs were wrong, and the cavalry of the Qiang people was in chaos before they could take over, and fled to both sides.

Is this worth it?

How can the pockets that you have worked so hard to tie up, and the meat that reaches your mouth escape? Wang Hou was anxious and ordered the march to the drums, so that the cavalry could quickly surround and chase the Qiang people back.

The heralds beat their drums in a hurry, as swift as raindrops, as swift and bright as horses' hooves.

As soon as the drums sounded, the 3,000 cavalry of the rear army came out on both sides and joined up with the previous disturbing cavalry to stop the Qiang.

Wang Han was also anxious in the front army, and urged repeatedly, "Load the bullet, hurry up, raise the muzzle of the cannon, hit two thousand steps, and scare them back." ”

More than a dozen gunners loaded ammunition, Wang Han and Ling Zhen adjusted the angle of the muzzle, and while moving, Wang Han also shouted: "Ten to the left, ten to the right, speed loading." ”

After a move, all twenty cannons were loaded, and the Qiang cavalry had already run a thousand paces away, Wang Han stared at the distance, estimated that it had reached one thousand and five, and immediately ordered: Release!

Wang Han said to let it go, Ling Zhen took the torch to burn, and the twist sounded, and it would take a few seconds to sound, which made Wang Han very depressed, and his orders and the sound of the cannon could not echo back and forth, and he felt unhappy.

Well, next time make a breech-loading gun.

The cannon sounded here, and the Qiang cavalry scurrying in front of them burst into sparks, and the flesh and blood of the explosion flew sideways, and the horses that had just quieted down were frightened again, and there was a group of collisions and trampling, and some horses were frightened and went crazy, and they rushed up against the pursuing troops of the Song army.

Wang Han asked everyone to reload, but Wang Hou's roar came from behind, "Don't fire any more cannons." ”

Wang Han turned around, Wang Hou looked impatient, his angry beard jumped, walked up to Wang Han, and pointed his finger at Wang Han's nose, "You are bad for me!" ”

Tong Guan followed behind Wang Hou, and asked Wang Hou for some reason, "Where did Wang Jingluo start with this?" ”

Wang was so angry that he wanted to cry, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only sigh, pointed his finger in the direction of the Qiang people's escape, and shouted angrily at the heralds, "The whole army will attack and drag them down." ”

Wang Hou was angry, Wang Han was uncomfortable, and he wanted to scold him, calling you uncle, Lao Tzu didn't remind you, it was you who didn't take it seriously. Besides, if Lao Tzu sincerely rectifies you and fires a cannon at 800 paces, you won't be able to catch a single Qiang person, how can it be like now, and thousands of Qiang people are left in front of the battle.

Wang Han wanted to be scared, but he felt that Wang Hou was a lot old, and it was not easy, especially since everyone was a martial artist, so why bother with martial artists, so he swallowed his dissatisfaction, but his face was flushed.

Wang Hou asked the whole army to attack, the herald waved the flag, the sound of the drums became excited, excited, the whole army heard the sound and moved, chasing the Qiang people to cover up and kill.

As soon as the army here moved, the Qiang cavalry on the right who was panicking suddenly became orderly, and they turned their horses' heads in unison and slowly exerted their strength, coming towards the Song army's archers.

Wang put his hands on the pergola and said, "It's the eldest son and the youngest son of Tobaro, let the archers and infantry form a formation on the spot." ”

Seeing this, Wang Han opened his mouth and suggested, "It's better to surprise him with another cannon." ”

Wang Hou put down his hand and looked at Wang Han, his chest was still rising and falling, but he was not as excited as before, and changed his gentle tone, "I can't put it again, just now the second round of artillery Our army also had a lot of war horses frightened, that side Hu Lie has already led the cavalry to meet the enemy, and the artillery is fired here, I am afraid that our cavalry will also be disturbed." ”

But Wang Han miscalculated, and responded at the moment, "What Xianggong said is true." ”

If you don't let it go, you won't let it go, Wang Han crossed his hands on his chest to watch the play.

But seeing the Qiang cavalry coming back to their horses, the brave general Hu Lieren of the Song army met the enemy, and the two sides hedged and fought, forming a stalemate.

This formation was no longer as smooth as planned, and the cavalry and infantry were almost mixed together, and they could not make an effective impact at all.

But I saw that there was a general among the Qiang people, who was also wearing a white velvet leather hat, wearing silver plate armor, a big knife in his hand, and more than ten guards around him.

Wang Han's heart was warm, and he asked, "Who is that?" ”

Wang Hou said: "The eldest son of Tobaro is slack. ”

Wang Han was stunned when he heard this: "Than blood? Then he put his finger in his mouth and whistled, "I'm going to fight him for blood." ”

When the whistle sounded, a red horse immediately burst out of the rear baggage team, and rushed to this side with Huan'er, it was a little mare that Wang Han had cultivated for nearly a month, and often gave it salted soybean grains, and the good relationship was like a husband and wife, listening to the call of the master, and immediately rushed.

This action surprised Wang Hou, "What are you going to do?" That's not what you're supposed to do. ”

Where does Wang Han care about him, he is under the control of Tong Guan, Tong Guan doesn't speak, how old is Wang Hou? Seeing the red horse coming, Wang Han took a steel gun from the hand of the forbidden army guarding the next side, "Lend me one." After speaking, the man ran to the horse, took a pole vault, flew on the horse in a dashing manner, and then lightly clamped the horse's belly and went away to meet the Qiang army.

Wang Hou was dumbfounded, and pointed his fingers, "This, this, this?" ”

Tong Guan said with a smile: "Wang Jingluo rest assured, this person has a good martial arts." ”

Wang Hou said: "If you have good martial arts, you can't risk your life, and it's better to ask him to come back." ”

Tong Guan waved his hand, "Don't worry, look at his martial arts." ”

Wang Houyan is not in a hurry, Tong Guan eunuch does not understand military affairs, does not know the importance of this little captain, Wang Hou is a doorman, this new type of artillery is so powerful, it can be called the cavalry terminator, if it can be used in a large number of military formations, not to mention Tubo, it is Western Xia, Liao, what are you afraid of?

This can be called an artifact!

This is a real soldier, and only a real soldier understands weapons. Seeing Wang Han rushing into the enemy formation, Wang Hou was extremely anxious, and stretched out his hand to greet Ling Zhen, "Who is that, come here, let me ask you, can you make such a firearm?" ”

Ling Zhen replied: "Artillery can be made, but the ammunition is made by my brother and the workers." ”

Wang Hou was overjoyed, "Oh, so to speak, this cannon is from your hands. ”

Ling Zhen replied: "Exactly, but the teacher said that there are more powerful artillery designs, and they can only be produced when the new steel mill is built." ”

Wang Hou glared when he heard this, and approached Ling Zhen, "Who is your teacher?" ”

Ling Zhen tilted his neck upwards and pointed his arm forward, "Well, the teacher is at war with the Qiang people." ”

Wang Hou was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and ordered: "Left and right, quickly get on the horse and attack, don't let the Qiang people hurt Teacher Wang." ”
