492, Mongolian archers go into battle

PreviousBack to directoryNext
He yelled and asked his subordinates to rush forward. He knew that it was difficult to load the musket. After firing a shot, it would take a long time to load, so he must take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward.

But what made him dumbfounded was that the muskets he was looking at were firing one after another without stopping at all.

In one breath, nine shots were fired, and he was counting them.

After nine shots, more than fifty of his tribe fell.

The muskets on the wall finally stopped.

He just breathed a sigh of relief and was ready for everyone to speed up the charge.

The sound of musketry suddenly sounded again from the steel plate under the wall.

Visible to the naked eye, a continuous line of fire flashed past from left to right.

Then, the line of fire flashed again every second or so.

Then there were nine more shots, and the line of fire flashed nine times in a row.

Thick gunpowder smoke came overwhelmingly, making people cough and making their eyes very uncomfortable. The gunpowder smoke contained a lot of irritating substances.

The militiamen inside the Checheng were okay. After all, they fired from the shooting port, and the smoke was sprayed out. The Mongolians outside were very uncomfortable.

The militiamen on the city wall were shooting down, but this time the militiamen on the lower level were shooting flatly.

At this time, the Mongols had already rushed within ten meters, and the power and accuracy of the fire door guns within ten meters were perfect.

Driven by high-quality propellant, the steel-cored lead bullets directly penetrated the unarmored tribal conscript in front, and then penetrated the body of another person again.

The Mongolians who had just stepped over the dead and wounded corpses in front of them.

They fell forward piece by piece again.

Nine rounds later, corpses once again covered the road.

Starting from a distance of thirty meters, the corpses were piled on top of each other, and the blood flowed into a stream.

Just as the muskets below the city stopped, the muskets on the wall started firing again.

Because this short period of time was enough for the soldiers to replace the new barrels.

They threw the disassembled barrel directly under the wall, then picked up a new loaded barrel from the floor, quickly loaded it, and fired.

They didn't even need to worry about the empty barrel, someone would pick it up.

They took it off to cool down and then reloaded it.

They all wore thick gloves to prevent their hands from being burned by the gun barrel.

There is a bundle of installed gun barrels below. You can use them as you like. You can replace the barrels directly without fear of overheating. Just replace them with new ones after shooting.

These measures ensure the continuity of firepower. This is much more intensive than three-stage fire.

The smoke produced by such dense emission is amazing. Whether there is wind or not today, the smoke will not dissipate for a long time.

Khan Ahai could no longer see clearly the car city in front of him.

Because the entire battlefield was filled with smoke, he could only see the front of his siege troops hidden in the smoke, and the entire outer wall of the chariot city was also in the smoke.

The sound of muskets was like exploding beans, dense and continuous.

He suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

With such a dense concentration of muskets, how many people are there on the other side? Looking at the details, there are 18,000 troops and 10,000 civilians. Why don't they look alike?

If the other party was really a fire gate gun, how could it have such intensive firepower?

"Immediately use your big bow to shoot to support the warriors in front."

Khan Ahai has been cautious all his life. He felt that it was difficult to see the situation ahead due to the smoke, so it was better to play it safe and use a big bow to shoot for support.

Most of the large bows of the Mongols were made of mulberry elm wood and attached with yellow ox or yellow sheep horns.

The arrow clusters are large and wide, 2 to 4 inches (6 to 12 cm) long, and they are classified as heavy arrows for large bows.

Each tribe in Mongolia has a military training ground, called "Toubulu", which is used for daily training.

During the competition, the Mongolian archers drew the most people with their sixteen-point bows (one point of force equals eight kilograms today), but in battles, the ten-point bows were used the most. After all, they have to shoot continuously, not just a few arrows in a competition.

.

As for the ultimate 24-point bow, basically few people can use it.

There is a title among the Mongols called "Hero of the World", which is used to describe a powerful warrior who can use twenty-four points of force.

An Sanxi is a hero with twenty-four powers.

The large bow covers the shot and has huge lethality. It is extremely lethal to enemies without armor, or wearing chain armor or pierced armor.

However, there are not many Mongolians with such heavy archers, and such large bows cannot be used immediately and must be used on foot.

Now that Mongolia has declined, the number of heavy archers who can use ten-pound bows has dropped a lot. On the contrary, there are more special archers who can use eighty-pound heavy bows and arrows on the Jiannu side.

A pulling force of nearly a hundred pounds is not something ordinary people can handle. The Ming Dynasty Frontier Army is half of this standard.

Although the Mongolians in front suffered heavy casualties, the smoke was so thick that they could not be seen from behind.

Since we can't see the tragic scene of blood flowing in front of us, there is no fear.

They continued to charge forward under the surging crowd behind them.

The great Mongolian archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, and began to shoot at the militiamen on the city wall.

Because the number of great archers was limited, multiple tribes gathered together and barely managed to gather 5,000 people.

In order to have a better effect, Khan Ahai gathered them all outside the city wall on the north side.

Following the Mongol officer's order, a large number of archers fired arrows intensively.

The heavy arrow flew into the sky with a unique whistling sound.

Yang Fan immediately saw that the big archers behind the Mongols were gathering and moving forward.

They all carry bows that are much larger than ordinary riding bows.

This is the first time Yang Fan has seen the true appearance of a Mongolian bow.

These bows are very beautifully made. Under the telescope, the large gold-painted bows shine brightly in the strong sunlight of the Mongolian Plateau.

Yang Fan suddenly remembered that Mr. Guan had said before that he liked archery and asked him to help him keep an eye out for any good-quality ancient bows and arrows and help him get a set.

Archery can relieve stress. No matter how irritable you are, as long as you shoot dozens of arrows, your mood will feel better.

Moreover, archery can exercise the function of the chest and lungs. The author has tried it and it is indeed effective. The British poet Byron also said that archery is good for the kidneys.

This cannot be confirmed. The kidneys are good! The man doesn’t need them.

After this battle, it is estimated that many exquisite Mongolian bows and arrows were captured.

At that time, you can use it to give gifts to the bosses.

Archery is more popular now, and many big shots like to sign up for a bow and arrow club.

"Sir, these are Mongolian archers, and their heavy arrows are very powerful." Lin Yueru reminded.

"It's okay, don't worry. In addition to the fire musket, you also need a flintlock gun or a bird musket. Otherwise, the arrows fired by the bow string will not be able to penetrate the aluminum alloy plate armor." Old God Yang Fan said thoughtfully.

Unfortunately, as soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, he was slapped in the face.

There was a snapping sound.

Those heavy arrows whizzing in, some of them swooped down, and the whistling sound of five thousand heavy arrows was very scary.

Then a dense barrage of arrows landed on the north wall.

Because the sidecar has a wooden board-clad steel outer shell, these heavy arrows bounced away directly.

But among the two hundred sidecars, the militia on the city wall were not so lucky.

The heavy arrows landed directly on their aluminum alloy plate armor.

The plate armor was very reliable, not a single metal plate was penetrated by the shot, but the huge kinetic energy knocked them off the wall and they all fell backwards.

At least three to four hundred people fell from the wall. A suit of plate armor fell from a height of 1.8 meters, which was enough for them.

After all, the two-layer steel pipe scaffolding on the wall was covered with steel plates, and the width was only a little over a foot, barely enough to stand. This time, many people were caught off guard, and many people were brought down by the huge kinetic energy of the heavy arrows.

Yang Fan was dumbfounded that this could still happen.
