Looking at the almost acrobatic riding skills of these soldiers, and they can also cooperate with others while riding horses, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded.

incredulously: "Engong, this, it's useful to practice this thing?" ”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's disapproving expression, Qi Heng said with a smile: "They are not regular cavalry, now with our horses, if we follow the cavalry training of the Yuan army, I am afraid that we will not even be able to make a splash on the battlefield." ”

"Then that's going to work?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't believe it, Qi Heng shouted at Mu Ying in the field: "Mu Ying! ”

Hearing Qi Heng's shout, Mu Ying immediately broke away from the team and rode over.

came to the front, turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand at Zhu Yuanzhang and Qi Heng: "Handsome, my lord." ”

Qi Heng nodded and said, "Dashuai thinks you are juggling, go, get your weapons over and show them to Dashuai." ”

When Mu Ying heard this, she immediately nodded and left.

Soon, Mu Ying ran over with the weapons they had been training with.

From the outside, this thing looks like an iron ball.

Whether throwing this thing on the battlefield can hit people is another matter, even if it hits, the lethality is extremely limited, no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang feels a little child's play.

After Mu Ying put down her weapon, she looked up at Qi Heng, Qi Heng nodded, and Mu Ying opened the iron ball in front of her.

With the opening of the iron ball, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that there was a secret hidden in the iron ball.

"Mu Ying, you can introduce the big handsome."

Mu Ying nodded, looked at the thing inside the iron ball, and said, "Dashuai, this thing looks like an iron ball, but in fact, it is gunpowder." ”

As he spoke, he turned the back of the iron ball around and showed Zhu Yuanzhang the position of the lead.

"Here are the leads, which take a total of forty breaths from ignition to burning. We must throw this iron ball into the enemy army in forty breaths, this is the tactics of the enemy cavalry, and the commander also knows that the horse will be frightened if it hears the explosion of gunpowder, and if such an iron ball, with the iron chain, is thrown far away by the force of the swing, it will fall into the camp of the enemy cavalry............."

As for the next consequences, Mu Ying didn't say anything interestingly, after all, they hadn't been equipped with this thing for a long time, and now they can only say that the theory is completely feasible.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang just listened to Mu Ying's narration, and he thought of the real battlefield in his mind.

If everything is according to Mu Ying's account, the enemy's cavalry is charging towards them, once there is an explosion in the opponent's cavalry camp at this time, you can imagine what kind of situation will happen to the cavalry's horses.

As soon as the front is chaotic, the cavalry behind that is charging with all their strength will collide.

The whole scene will be completely chaotic.

In this way, the charge of the cavalry will be defused.

And the price is just a few iron balls that look black.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who realized this, finally figured it out.

However, he still asked with some confusion: "The enemy horses will be frightened, but what about ours?" ”

Although it doesn't matter if your horse is frightened, it does happen.

Mu Ying got up and led her horse over, and then under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, she took out a ball of cotton from the horse's ear.

At this time, Qi Heng took Mu Ying's words and said, "Horses' ears are very sensitive, and these cotton are just to reduce the chance of them being frightened as much as possible. Moreover, the gunpowder ball must be some distance away from us under our throw, and our horse is much less frightened than the enemy, and our horse, with regular practice, will gradually become familiar with the sound of this explosion, just like a human being, the first time it hears an explosion, it will be afraid, but after more times, it will be immune. ”

Listening to Qi Heng's narration, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually understood.

He bent down and fiddled with his hands twice, and said happily, "It's really a good thing." ”

At this moment, Mu Ying had already taken out a relatively long arrow again, and then put it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and said: "This is a gunpowder arrow, after increasing the length of an ordinary arrow, tie some explosives with a small amount of gunpowder on it, although the lethality is not too great, but the important thing is to cause chaos." In addition, we also got some fireworks arrows, and if you want to detect the enemy in the distance when you are fighting at night, you can use this fireworks explosion to make the light appear in the distance. ”

Of course, there are more than that, there are many different kinds of weapons that can be used to deal with all kinds of situations.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who listened to this, opened his eyes.

In the past, when fighting head-on, the only tactics in his head were to charge, and the archers to shoot.

At most, it is to rely on the explosion of artillery to cause some confusion in the enemy camp, and buy your own infantry a little time to charge closer.

But I never thought that I could rely on some tools to play so many tricks.

But that's not all.

Nowadays, these things are made by changing the tricks of gunpowder, and the special firearms have no forging ability in Huanggang City today.

However, with the last time Yu Guangdao and Han Qin brought back a lot of craftsmen, the research and development of firearms has also been on the agenda.

Especially with the support of Qi Heng, which has many leading scientific and technological principles in later generations, the progress of their research and development is still very good.

Like the tiger squat cannon that appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as the ancestor of mortars, and the principle of this thing is not difficult at all, even in this era.

It's just that the Yuan Dynasty didn't attach so much importance to this thing, so it didn't get popular.

It's like the cotton of this era.

However, just these things are enough to open Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang is well versed in battlefield fighting, and can fully imagine how much effect these things can achieve once they are really used on the battlefield, and how many fewer people can die.

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang's careful thinking began to spread.

"Engong, how many of these things can you make? Can it be fully deployed in the army? ”

Hearing this, Qi Heng's eyes widened.

This Zhu Yuanzhang is bigger than his own tone, and he directly wants the whole army to equip it.

"Superior, look at how many people there are in this god barracks, if there is such a large output, I don't know if the whole army is equipped."

Looking at Qi Heng's helpless face, Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed a little embarrassed.

"But the reason why the output of this thing is not high today is that there are no raw materials, after all, our current place is still too small, and we don't know where the raw materials are.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not completely unreliable when he heard this, and his careful thoughts, which had just been extinguished, burned again.

"Engong, why don't we find a way to find out where the Yuan Army's gunpowder workshop is?"
