"Now the leader of the Dzungars is Harahuci. The leader of the Heshuote tribe is Gushi Khan. The leader of the Durbot tribe is Dalai Taishi. The leader of the Turgut tribe is He Orlek. However,
I heard that they moved westward. I don’t know who led the people in the Torgut tribe who did not move westward,” Zhang Wudian said.
"Is their alliance leader still Gushi Khan now?" Yang Fan asked
"It should still be the case, but in the face of the Junggar people's ambition, he is increasingly unable to do what he wants." Zhang Wudian said.
"However, despite their many internal conflicts, the Oara people are able to unite with the outside world when encountering powerful enemies. This has been proven repeatedly in history."
Yang Fan touched his chin and saw that it was not easy to stir up internal disputes among them. However, it didn't matter, he was cheating. Didn't this mean he had reached their lair, where they were hoarding the food they plundered from Central Asia?
He Ma Liao. As long as this place is burned down, they will be in chaos.
Because in winter, when the grass dries up, they plan to live off their savings in this city. If they burn this place today, they will be at a loss as long as they persist until winter.
"Sir, the rockets are ready. The cannons are ready to fire at any time." Huang Hao came over to report.
"Then let's get started. Let's see how our rocket performs." Yang Fan said with a smile.
This is the first time that the Kangorev rocket has been used on a large scale. Yang Fan doesn't know how effective it is. Although it has been used frequently at the test site, this is the first time for such a large-scale launch.
"Uncle Dingyuan, what kind of weapon is this? Why does it look like a flying monkey to me?" Zhang Wudian asked curiously.
"You really have a keen eye. This is the Sky Monkey, just a big one. This thing is a kind of rocket. The warhead is loaded with gunpowder and blasts to kill the enemy. The projectile body is loaded with propellant and is responsible for propulsion. That bamboo pole is
It is used to stabilize the ballistic trajectory, just like the shaft and wings of a bow and arrow."
"This is interesting. Does this thing have a long range and how powerful it is? But today is not windy enough to be a good day for launching."
Yang Fan sighed in his heart, ginger is still hot. Zhang Wudian discovered almost all the key elements after a few glances. In particular, he noticed the impact of wind speed on this uncontrollable rocket.
Yang Fan said: "The range is within four miles. It is launched tilted into the sky and follows a parabolic trajectory. As for the power, you will see it soon."
At this time, one hundred launch ramps have been arranged on the five canal boats. They are semicircular grooves hammered out of iron sheets. Two soldiers are carrying a rocket and placing it on the slide rails.
Yang Fan waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately lit the fuses of the rockets with torches. Then the black gunpowder mixed with sugar burned fiercely, and the rockets sprayed gas and flew into the sky.
The launch site was suddenly filled with thick smoke.
Zhang Wudian, Huo Shi, and Zhang Fengyi looked at the spectacular sight of a hundred rockets being launched in amazement.
Rockets one after another, with long bamboo tails, sprayed the gas expanded by burning gunpowder. Like meteors, they flew into the sky, drew parabolas, and smashed towards Linhe City.
Because there is no control system, the dispersion area will be very large at a distance of one thousand meters. It is the same as the rocket launchers of later generations. This thing is an area-based anti-personnel weapon. It must be used in large quantities and in a covering attack to achieve good results.
If you use one or two of them alone, God knows where they will land. Anyway, they will definitely not land on the target you originally aimed at.
"Keep firing, don't stop, don't observe the results. There is no wind today, so you can't go anywhere. Shoot out all 5,000 rockets." Yang Fan said.
The city was divided into four parts. The Junggar people, the Hoshuote people, the Duerbot people, and the Turgut people who had not left, divided the city into four areas and lived in separate areas.
Those who live in this city are the leaders of various tribes and Taiji. Others are not qualified to live here.
The hero of the Dzunggar people, Harahu Ci, was sleeping soundly. He was not worried about an enemy attack. The cavalry was approaching and they could hear it through their pillows.
Moreover, this is the rear area. The Ming army has to face hundreds of thousands of people when they attack here. This is almost impossible.
As for Yinchuan in the south, those Ming troops were cowards. They had turned a blind eye to the Mongols crossing their defense zone for almost two hundred years. They just imitated the ostriches and stuck their heads in the sand, thinking silently, you can’t see me, you can’t see me.
I.
However, he was awakened by a dense scream.
These rockets have whistles installed on their bodies to scare the enemy.
Every time a flying fireball hits the ground, there will be a violent explosion. If it makes a whistle when it flies, it will give the enemy's men and horses a strong psychological hint and scare after a few times.
Not only him, but all the Mongolians inside and outside the city woke up.
They all ran out to see what was going on.
As a result, they saw a magical scene that they had never seen before in their lives. Countless rockets were flying towards the city in parabolas like a meteor shower.
Although they don't know what these are, their intuition tells them that this is definitely not a good thing.
Countless smoke trails indicated that these meteors came from outside the city.
They were very surprised. That was the Yellow River over there. Could it be that they were launched from the water? These things looked big. But they were in Central Asia all year round, and there were weapons such as rockets there. They didn't feel too panicked. They just felt
A rocket of this size would probably be very powerful.
Soon, they no longer needed to guess, because the first batch of flying fireballs fell to the ground.
A soldier of Gushi Khan's eyes widened as he saw a one-meter-long rocket inserted into the sand in front of him. Half of it was inserted into the sand, and the other half was still exposed. He saw that the rocket was three villages thick.
Black smoke was still rising from the buttocks of the projectile.
He was about to touch this strange thing with his hand when his eyes lit up. Then with a bang, he was broken into countless pieces in the fierce white light in front of him, flying everywhere.
In the early morning of this summer, a batch of one hundred rockets screamed and smashed into this city of only four square kilometers. No one knows how far these uncontrollable rockets will deflect and where they will land. Even if
Its designers don't know either.
One after another, the rockets landed, delayed slightly and then exploded.
Half of the city's area is occupied by food storage and forage fields. The rest is divided into four parts of accommodation. Except for some houses that have not collapsed, there are densely packed yurts.
These houses are all made of wood, or have mud walls and thatched roofs. The yurts are also flammable materials rich in grease.
Suddenly, a violent explosion ignited the combustible materials in the city.
Every time a rocket hit the ground, it exploded into a sea of fire.
Before the Mongols could react, all five thousand rockets had been fired.
