As soon as the grenade appeared, Mang Gurtai, Khan Ahai, Buyan Ahai, as well as Taiji and Tabu Nang who were observing the battlefield on the high ground were so frightened that they almost jumped up.
What is this thing? Firearms appear on the battlefield, but only the muzzle and muzzle of the weapon have flames spurting out.
The projectiles fired are all solid and large, even shotguns. It's just that there are more small projectiles.
But now, projectiles that can explode have appeared directly.
This kind of weapon is subversive and has never been seen on the battlefield.
"Sir, what kind of weapon is this?" Mang Gurtai stood up from his chair and asked Li Yongfang.
Li Yongfang is in charge of the intelligence agency Xitangzi. He knows a lot about the Ming Dynasty. Nurhaci's rapid rise is absolutely inseparable from Li Yongfang's help.
Many cities in Liaodong were conquered only after many traitors were sneaked in and then suddenly rushed out to seize the city gates when the fighting was fierce.
These people who lurked in and pretended to be fleeing civilians were the 15,000 Han troops under Li Yongfang's name.
The fifteen thousand Han troops who followed this time were those under the command of Li Yongfang. As Han people, they had committed numerous crimes against the Han people in Liaodong.
Li Yongfang rolled his eyes. He had never seen such a flying bomb. He didn't know how to agree with Sanbeile, but Sanbeile had a short temper. Obviously saying he didn't know would anger Sanbeile.
Now, the future of the old Khan King is not good, and the five ministers have all stepped aside. Now is the era when the four Baylors sit side by side to handle the government. The three Baylors are one of the four Baylors, and they cannot be disobedient.
Moreover, he married Qibele Abate's daughter. Sanbeile was considered his uncle's father-in-law and had a much higher status than him. Even though Mang Gurtai was about the same age as his son, he had to answer respectfully.
"Well, this thing looks similar to the Japanese baked jade. It is a kind of gunpowder that can be thrown out after being ignited."
Li Yongfang's intelligence chief is indeed not a cover-up, and he is indeed well-informed.
Because China is a small country, Japan came into contact with firearms earlier than many other countries. Far more than Arabia and Western Europe.
In the Battle of Wenyong in 1274, the Japanese experienced the Song and Jin style handguns and thunderbolts (iron cones) for the first time during the battle with the invading Yuan army.
Fire blunderbuss is far more penetrating than bows, and thunder can blast enemies within a few meters into pieces.
Especially explosives that are ignited and thrown, such as thunder.
It shocked the Japanese people greatly.
After the battle, Japanese craftsmen quickly began the work of imitating these advanced weapons.
By the time of the Wanli War to Aid Korea, they had already invented metal-shelled objects tied in series with their unique national rope art culture, and used to throw explosives - baked jade.
Li Yongfang touched his chin and said: "I just don't know why they can throw it so far. It looks like gunpowder is spraying behind the trail. I don't know how they can achieve such a long throwing distance."
"Sir, is there any way to deal with this kind of thing?" Mang Gurtai asked.
"There are none at the moment. If we can get one or two that didn't explode, we can study the principle." Li Yongfang shook his head.
He just wanted to deal with Mang Gurtai. Is there any good solution there?
At this time, as the barrage gradually extended outwards, the explosions gradually advanced outwards. The Mongols had completely collapsed, and they were all turning around and running back. Their livers and gallbladders were broken.
The steel plate on the north wall suddenly flipped up. Where it used to be the wall, now only two layers of steel pipe skeletons were visible.
A large number of soldiers, wearing dark gray plate armor and holding Swiss halberds more than three meters long, walked through the gaps between the steel pipes and walked in formation.
Rows of silver-gray phalanxes are like walking out of countless open doors. The space of four or five meters between every two side cars has been turned up with tile steel plates, turning it into a square.
's door.
At this time, each gate had a squadron of infantry phalanx coming out of the gate.
After the phalanx came out, the steel plate was lowered again, and the soldiers behind used wire to temporarily hang it up.
Each hundred of them formed a square formation, and everyone's steps were uniform. Their steps were raised and dropped at the same time, making a huge noise.
As they marched, it seemed as if the earth was shaking.
There was a dense sound of war drums behind the city wall. Dozens of strong men, shirtless, held up huge drumsticks with both hands and beat the war drums vigorously. The sound of huge drums shook the ground on the open grassland.
Spreads for miles.
Mang Gurtai watched in surprise as more than a hundred phalanx formations surged towards the north city, like a rainbow.
"How dare these Han people fight back," he murmured.
From the time he started the army with his father Khan to now, he is now forty years old. This is the first time he has seen Han infantry actually dare to charge towards the Mongols.
Even during the bloody battle at the Hun River under Shenyang City, the Han people were the best at defeating the Qi Army, but they only used their chariots and camps to line up on three sides against the Hun River immediately after encountering the Eight Banners, and they only passively defended.
It's exactly the same as what Yang Fan is doing now.
Yang Fan's combat mode was the main mode used by infantry to deal with cavalry in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years. Mang Gurtai did not think there was anything wrong at all.
But now the Ming army's infantry rushed out.
Mang Gurtai had an unreal feeling.
Under the blows of more than ten rounds of gunpowder-propelled grenades, the front of the heavy Mongolian troop group was in a miserable state.
There was basically no encounter with the infantry phalanx, and they pushed past any decent resistance.
Although the Mongols were retreating, these infantrymen still maintained their formation, taking their time and keeping the order of the phalanx.
As the whistles sounded one after another, under the orders of the officers, the Ming army infantry began to trot, but the queue was still very neat, which showed that they often ran in formation.
Mang Gurtai's eyes jumped when he saw it. He was a high-level cavalry general. He knew very well that it was much more important to slow down the horses and maintain formation than to rush them quickly.
The same goes for infantry. An army that strictly maintains collective unity is a terrible army.
"These are the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!" he murmured.
He seemed to have returned to the Hunhe battlefield and saw the Baigan soldiers and the Qi army again.
At that time, the two troops were also well-trained and acted in a uniform manner.
Although there is no fast running, the advance speed of these infantry is not slow.
Many injured Mongolians who fell to the ground were directly stabbed to death by them with Swiss halberds. Some injured and slow-running ones were also stabbed to death from behind.
Many Mongolians were overtaken and stabbed to death from behind.
