Chapter 254: Just roast the gunpowder with fire when it gets wet
The change in the battle plan also gave Han Yannian more room to operate.
Destroying the Great Wan Kingdom was no longer a difficult task for Han Yannian, he could easily destroy it by sending five thousand people over.
Dawan Kingdom just made Dahan lose face, although this time the main target is Dawan Kingdom.
But in Han Yannian's opinion, this matter is not particularly anxious.
In addition, the current ghost weather is indeed not suitable for mobilizing troops, and it is idle anyway, so it is better to use this free opportunity to see if you can do something.
Liu Xijun obviously knew the situation in Chigu City better than Han Yannian, and the look in his eyes just now was also reminding Han Yannian to retain some strength.
Wusun didn't dare to think anything about the Great Han, and the entire Western Regions didn't dare to have anything about the Great Han.
In the past, they were just doing things with the help of the Huns, and the Huns were also good at planting some eyeliner in various countries to obtain relevant information.
Presumably, there are also Hun eyeliners in Chigu City, so Liu Xijun is so nervous to remind Han Yannian to be careful.
However, this is exactly what Han Yannian meant, and those who are following Han Yannian are the captains he has been training for a long time, and they not only know how to observe Han Yannian's eyes, but also observe the surrounding situation.
And Han Yannian specially told not to make any foreign appearances, others don't know the strength of the new army, don't these generals know yet?
It's just a demonstration order, do you need to specifically remind you not to make any foreign appearances?
Of course there is no need, so Han Yannian has something to say.
The lieutenant, who had received the order, immediately ignored it and ran towards the army that was camping in the rear.
Because the vehicle itself is a good bunker, and the combat vehicle itself is also reinforced and heightened, in the Western Regions, because of the lack of technology and conditions for the manufacture of siege equipment, the city wall is generally low, and it is considered a big city if there is a one-zhang high city wall.
The height of the trucks of the Han army is generally about one zhang, and the highest part of the carriage fence is almost as high as the wall of Akaya Castle.
If it was a siege, they could have driven the truck over and jumped onto the city wall, even if they didn't blast open the gates.
Although it is not as convenient as the siege ladder truck, it is simple and trouble-free, and it can attack the city wall before the opponent can react.
If you encounter some small cities, the soldiers can stand directly in the carriage and suppress the defenders on the city wall.
'Bang Bang ......'
Scattered gunshots erupted, and puffs of smoke rose high.
Han Yannian looked at the soldier who was demonstrating in front of him with an iron face, and his anger was almost undisguised on his face.
Jun Xu Mi and other Wusun people were even more confused, and the movement made by the Han people was really big, and they were put in front as a target flock......
Well, they were scared away by the loud gunshot, but one of the unlucky ones was shot twice and finally fell to the ground in pain.
It was painful, but he didn't die immediately.
For a while, Jun Sumi didn't know what he should do next?
Is it bragging?
Wouldn't that be a bit too fake?
Of the fifty guns, only four or five were fired, and the rest didn't even go off.
Just slap your face and say no?
Will Han Yannian feel that he is laughing at him?
It's so embarrassing for this special mother, the outside world has passed on the Han people to be amazing, and the spread is so awesome, and the result is a demonstration, that's it?
'......Boom'
The throwing cart then fired a cannonball, and the noise immediately attracted everyone's attention.
And then......
From Han Yannian's dark face, you can see how bad the cover-up is this time.
You say this thing is not awesome, he can throw hundreds of steps so far, but you say he's awesome, and the noise after landing is like a fart.
"General, it should have been snowing recently, and the moisture in the air is too much, causing the gunpowder to get damp, and the subordinates asked them to deal with it immediately, and we will have another round of ...... later" The captain who followed behind Han Yannian immediately made a panicked expression, and without waiting for Han Yannian to speak, he directly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away.
Even in order to make his acting skills look more realistic, the captain deliberately pretended to be too anxious after running out a few steps, and the ground was too slippery and deliberately fell a, which was as ugly as it looked.
"Ahem......" Han Yannian coughed dryly with an embarrassed face, and then forcibly explained: "New things, it's not too stable, what I'm most afraid of is rain and snow, or see water directly, it's okay, just wait for them to deal with it, soon!" ”
"Well, even if the new thing is not stable, what has just been shown is enough to crush us......" Jun Sumi said with a burst of embarrassment.
You said that if he doesn't follow the embarrassing blow at this time, what can he do?
Maybe because of the accident just now, everyone lost interest in continuing to chat.
Although Han Yannian still had an angry look on his face, he was not panicked at all in his heart, and everything was under control.
On the other side, the Wusun people, led by Jun Sumi, began to think wildly in their hearts, if the new things of the Han people were just like this, it didn't seem to be invincible to them.
Through observation, it was found that the number of cold weapons equipped by the Han people was not too much.
If their new gadget was good, it would have been difficult for the enemy to get close, but now, it seems that as long as the enemy is close, the Han people have no way to deal with it.
They don't have the tip of a knife on their gun, and the noise of their big iron ball is like a fart, counting on that thing to kill someone?
It's almost the same as killing ordinary people, and in the face of the regular army, I'm afraid that these Han people will only have the share of being slaughtered by others.
Immediately afterward, a puff of smoke suddenly rose hundreds of miles away, but their vision was obscured and they did not see what was happening.
On the contrary, Han Yannian explained with a calm face: "It's okay, the best way for the gunpowder to get damp is to bake it, just dry the moisture in the gunpowder, just now it may be that they didn't grasp the temperature well, so the flame ignited the dried gunpowder." ”
"Oh, I see, I didn't expect the general to be prepared, so let's wait to see the general's ......performance," Jun Sumi echoed with an insincere smile on his face, but before he could finish a sentence, he was frightened by the next movement.
'......Boom'
A violent explosion suddenly resounded in their ears, and a huge fire burst into the sky, and the shock wave of the explosion caused panic in the surrounding land, and even they could clearly feel the tremor of the earth even when they stood hundreds of steps away.
"It's okay, I didn't notice the fire, I just detonated the cannonball, although this was a mistake, but you also saw that the power of the cannonball we launched after the explosion is like that, let's just tell you, as long as you dare to stand within a radius of fifty steps from the center of the explosion, you will be seriously injured if you don't die, there is absolutely no third option......" Han Yannian's face was still pale, but he pretended to explain with determination.
"Cow ...... Awesome ......" Jun Sumi couldn't help but extend a thumbs up to Han Yannian.
This time he didn't have those messy thoughts in his heart, and the movement just now really scared him.
Don't care if that thing is reliable, and don't care who that thing is blowing up, just say that the movement is not something that anyone can resist.
Now Jun Sumi finally understands why those countries in the Western Regions don't even have the courage to fight after meeting the Han people, the Han people have such a thing, where do you ask him to find the courage? Even Liang Jingru didn't dare to give him this courage.
Well, the is really, even the pace that the six relatives don't recognize, and it really scared Jun Xu Mi and the people around him.
Immediately afterwards, panicked figures appeared around the explosion just now, as if someone had been injured just now.
They couldn't see exactly what happened, they only saw someone rushing in, and then carrying something into the tent, and there seemed to be something red on their bodies?
On the other hand, the Han army did have a panic, but it was a deliberate panic, and it was deliberately played for the Wusun people.
Gunpowder does get damp, and so do cannonballs, which is something that the Han people have known for a long time.
Now that you know, will you be defenseless?
Gunpowder is packed into wooden barrels, and there is a layer of wax inside the barrel, and then a layer of oiled paper, which contains a full barrel of gunpowder, and then it is still a barrel sealed with oily paper, and after sealing, it is sealed with wax juice and sealed, and after sealing, the barrel lid is closed, and the sealing is completed.
The outer barrel only plays a certain degree of sealing effect, and its real role is to protect the wax juice that has solidified after cooling inside from being destroyed, which is the key to real moisture prevention.
When they were in Chang'an, they experimented by throwing such powder kegs into water and soaking them for a month, and the gunpowder they took out could still be used.
As for how long this method can be preserved, this is not known, and it will not be known until when the gunpowder is opened and found to be damp.
The cannonball is also the same operation, but it is much simpler than gunpowder encapsulation, the lead hole is replaced by a small wooden plug, and then the sealing wax can be sealed, and the sealing wax is destroyed when used, the wooden plug is removed, the lead is inserted, fixed with paper, and then it can be used.
Different lengths of leads are configured for different detonation distances, and the sealing method of the leads is the same as that of gunpowder.
The performance just now was just to tell some people about their shortcomings, making them mistakenly think that in winter, in rain and snow, the Han army was a lamb to be slaughtered, and there was no combat effectiveness at all.
Immediately afterwards, the Han army, which had been replaced with dry gunpowder, began the real performance.
Fifty people were lined up in five teams, ten men each, the first row of men half-crouched on the ground, and immediately after the firing was withdrawn to reload, and the people behind immediately half-crouched to take over the firing.
This time, there was no more mistakes, and the team of fifty people, the gunfire almost never stopped, and each round could fire ten bullets.
Although the targeted sheep fled everywhere like crazy, they still failed to escape the guns of the Han Chinese.
'......Boom'
There was another violent explosion, about the same size as the movement that had erupted just now, the only difference was that something had blocked their view just now, and this time there was nothing to obscure them.
After the smoke cleared, Jun Sumi was horrified to find that the place where the shell exploded just now had left a large crater about four or five paces wide.
"This ...... This...... Divine Soldier ...... This is simply a divine soldier......"
