Chapter 199: I'll ask you if the cow is cowhide

'......Boom'

A violent explosion suddenly came from the middle of the school field like thunder, and Liu Che, who had been mentally prepared, was also frightened by the sudden explosion.

The twin children expanded rapidly and continuously, and their faces were full of disbelief.

"This ...... What's going on??? Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu with a confused expression.

The thing that exploded just now was made by him with his own eyes, and the process of making it was not too troublesome.

What he didn't expect was that the thing had only burned rapidly when it was lit, accompanied by a puff of smoke.

How could this thing suddenly have such a great power after Liu Ponu's fiddling?

"Your Highness be careful...... Seeing that Liu Ponu was about to walk towards the center of the explosion, Wang Wu behind him hurriedly stopped him.

"The explosion is over, it's safe there now!" Liu Ponu smiled slightly, not caring at all.

"Your Highness, it's better to be careful, this thing is really ......" Wang Wu didn't know how to speak, he had fought a lifetime of battles and killed a lifetime of people, but today it was really a knife that slashed his buttocks, and his eyes were completely opened.

But it doesn't matter if he can't open his eyes or not, the important thing is that he can't just let Liu Ponu go up, in case there is any danger, it will be a big game.

Wang Wu hurriedly beckoned to the people behind him: "You two hurry up and take a look......

"Ah???h

"Ahhhh If you don't go, do you still want Your Majesty and His Highness to pass? Wang Wu couldn't help but roar.

It was so terrifying to him that he felt as if he couldn't find any words to describe his current mood.

"What a fuss...... Liu Ponu said angrily, and walked over without looking back.

Even if you make something yourself, you don't know how powerful it is.

But how many times can he ring that thing, doesn't he know?

In total, he threw one over, if he could ring twice, then Liu Ponu felt that he had to study whether the black powder also had reproductive ability.

Unknown human beings always subconsciously feel fear of these unknown things, especially things that can create great movements.

But where is that?

If this is an armored car, will you guys still be alive?

Seeing that Liu Ponu was about to pass without stopping for a moment, Wang Wu was so angry that he wanted to go up and kick his feet fiercely, and viciously glanced at his subordinates who were still in a state of bewilderment, and then his heart was crossed, and he hurriedly ran towards the center of the explosion.

In fact, Wang Wu was also frightened, after all, the movement just now was not a joke.

Seeing a hole about half a step in size and about half a calf-deep hole being blown out of the ground, Wang Wu couldn't help but shudder.

Although the school field is land, the soldiers have been training here all year round, and the ground has long been trampled on extremely hard, even if you dig it with tools, it will take a little effort to dig a pit of this size.

And now, it's just a blink of an eye?

"The power still needs to be improved...... Liu Ponu walked to the scene and observed, and couldn't help but shake his head.

It stands to reason that this effect should be considered good, but the dummy placed five or six steps away didn't do much damage, just because the shockwave fell to the ground.

"You don't call it that?" Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu dumbfounded, as if he had seen an alien.

"Well, it's really not good, a bag of explosives of this size, if you throw some small stones or broken iron filings or something in it, it should be able to deal effective damage to enemies within ten paces......" Liu Ponu shook his head.

"This thing can knock down a large piece of this thing with such a small one, you tell me no?" Liu Che's eyes widened, and he secretly wondered if this product had some misunderstanding of the word no?

"From the perspective of a single data effect, there is really no problem, but more practical problems need to be considered, such as the battlefield environment, the Huns on the battlefield will not stand in a crowded formation waiting for you to bomb, the cavalry rushed up and separated from each other at least a dozen paces, and the war horse is moving at high speed, even if it is thrown accurately, it can hurt at most, only three or five people."

"Besides, we need to solve the problem of the lead, use the shortest lead as much as possible to buy more time, and let the soldier ensure that there is enough time to throw him to a greater distance......" Liu Ponu shook his head seriously.

Loaded with about a pound of black powder, the explosion effect is not as good as the effect of an ordinary grenade.

Although Liu Ponu knew that black powder was not as good as TNT, the difference between the weight of several times and the reduction of the killing range by three or five times was too big.

In such a comparison, I ask you if you can do it?

"You want to use this thing against the Huns?" Liu Che became serious again, thinking carefully about the feasibility of this method.

"Your Majesty, if this kind of thing is used, then as long as we arrange it properly, we will form a situation of slaughter against the Huns!" Wang Wu said suddenly.

"Huh?" Liu Che glanced at Wang Wu in surprise.

Liu Ponu was also a little puzzled, I haven't figured out how to get a lead yet, so you told me that you can slaughter the Huns with this thing?

Judging by the effect, it is not difficult to kill, but slaughter?

Or cavalry?

What's the trouble?

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, in fact, you don't need to have many complicated tactics to do it, this thing can make a violent sound, as long as you find a way to throw some of these things into the team of the Huns when the Hun cavalry charges, it doesn't matter how many you can kill, but the Huns' war horses will definitely be frightened, and the Huns whose war horses are not controlled, what can they do except be slaughtered?" Wang Wu said it directly.

'Smack......'

Listening to Wang Wu's narration, Liu Ponu slapped his thigh excitedly.

Lying in a big groove, why did you forget about it?

"This method can only be used in an emergency, if you use it enough times, the enemy will find a way to crack it......" Liu Ponu then shook his head.

There was also cavalry in the era of thermal weapons, especially in areas lacking armored forces, and cavalry became even more important.

At that time, in order to ensure that the war horses were not frightened, in addition to daily training, the ears of the war horses would be blocked during the battle to minimize the stimulation of external sounds.

As for the blindfolding, there is no need to mention it, that is, the current Han cavalry will blindfold the eyes of the war horse when charging.

"War horses are not human, how can they be so easy to crack?" Liu Che was a little unconvinced.

"As long as the ears of the war horse are blocked, you can crack it, it's not difficult......" Liu Ponu spread his hands.

"According to what you say, it doesn't seem like you're of much use to make this thing......" Liu Che said angrily, you brought up my desires, and then told me that it couldn't work?

As far as you're concerned, you always say that I'm a bad old man, and that's bad?

I don't think you're any better than me, are you?

"I have a way to solve this problem, but it will take time to ......" Liu Ponu frowned tightly.

For a long time to come, the Han Dynasty lacked top military generals.

As the older generation gradually ages, the new generation can be said to be inferior to the next.

Li Guangli, the general of the second division, fought a beautiful battle, but that beautiful battle almost knocked out the Han Dynasty, causing the root of the turmoil within the Han Dynasty, which is why Liu Ponu was so anxious.

If he is not in a hurry and does not come forward to solve the current problem, then when the news of Li Guangli's defeat comes next year or the year after, Liu Che will still order more than 100,000 Han troops to go to the Western Regions, just to destroy a small Dawan country.

If I remember correctly, Li Guangli set out with 8,000 men for the first time, and the reason for the failure was that the countries along the way refused to provide Li Guangli with food on the grounds of lack of food.

The 8,000 Han troops led by Li Guangli actually died on the battlefield, but only a few thousand died of starvation.

Why was Liu Che angry in history?

He was angry that the Han army that swept the Huns couldn't even beat a Dawan, and the prestige of the Han fell so fast that he dared to kill the Han envoy in the land of Dawan's projectiles, and refused to provide excellent horse breeds from the Han Dynasty.

He was angry that the countries along the way dared to refuse to provide military rations to the Han army, and they watched the Han army being starved to death one after another without helping.

Although they may really not have much food to supply the Han army, what Liu Che saw was that the Han army did not appear in the Western Regions for a long time, which led to the rapid decline of the prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, and at the same time, because the Huns frequently appeared in the Western Regions, which also led to those small countries in the Western Regions having to survive in the cracks.

The Han can endure it, and the Han can wait, but the consequence is that during this period, the Han will lose all its prestige in the Western Regions, and let all the countries in the Western Regions defect to the Xiongnu.

Therefore, it is necessary to go on the expedition, and even Liu Ponu also thinks that this battle should be fought.

However, while Li Guangli, who led the main force, attacked the small countries in the Western Regions, Li Ling, who led 5,000 infantry, went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu and fought against the main force of the Xiongnu.

The combat effectiveness of the Han army was also fully reflected in this battle, 5,000 infantry against 80,000 Hun cavalry, in the end it was because the Han army's weapons were damaged and could not be used, and the Huns were even forced to adopt the tactics of encircling but not fighting, waiting for the Han army's grain and grass to be consumed.

It was not until the grain and grass were exhausted and the inability to fight again did it end in surrender, and the number of Xiongnu dead and wounded in this battle was several times the number of Han troops.

If there are enough weapons and sufficient food and grass, even 80,000 Hun cavalry will not be able to help Li Ling's 5,000 infantry, but in the same way, Li Ling's 5,000 infantry will not be able to escape from the battlefield if they want to get rid of the Hun cavalry.

Judging from this battle, Liu Che did not misunderstand Li Ling's ability, but he missaw Li Ling's character, because after Li Ling surrendered, he was worried about being liquidated, so he did not choose to flee from the Xiongnu and return to the Han like his grandfather, but lived in the Xiongnu with peace of mind.

I don't know if history will repeat itself Liu Ponu, but as far as the current Han is concerned, Li Ling is indeed the top military general.

Liu Ponu took a deep breath and made a decision that surprised everyone.

"Give me 10,000 men, and no one will interfere with my training during this period, and when the next time I go out, I will personally take 10,000 men with me......"
