1164, Duel between gunboats and infantry and cavalry 1
After taking a shot, the Mongols changed their formation. They divided their forces into two groups, Hedong and Hexi. Since the boat was in the river, they planned to attack from both sides.
Only by lowering the rafts from both sides at the same time can the boat be better blocked in the river.
"Brother Yang, they are coming." Zhang Fengyi shouted excitedly.
This girl loves the battlefield so much. Seeing the fight begin, her little face turned red with excitement.
Yang Fan said with a smile: "If you don't rush over, why don't you stay there, waiting to continue to be bombed?"
The military quality of the Mongolian tribes in the Desert seemed to be obviously stronger than that of the Mongolian tribes in the Southern Mongolia. They quickly stabilized the right wing. The cannon hit just now was earth-shattering. The huge explosion frightened the war horses. However, it was only killed.
More than 100 people were injured, less than 200 people.
A group of slaves came out from behind the mountain and quickly carried away the cavalrymen who were killed and injured. After clearing the scene, the five thousand cavalrymen on the right wing quickly reorganized their formation and stabilized the situation.
Except for the big hole in the middle, there is no difference from the beginning.
Woohoo! A low horn sounded, and an infantry array of more than 8,000 people, pushing shield carts and carrying wooden platoons, came towards the gunboat.
Because the distance was seven miles, they couldn't run. Otherwise, they would be exhausted and unable to fight when they got there. They could only push the cart and walk forward quickly.
Zhang Wudian asked: "From the time they set out to the nearest range limit of the cannon, how many opportunities did they have to fire."
This is what knowledgeable people say. Artillery is not a weapon that can be used throughout the entire range. It has a maximum range and a minimum range. What can be used is the middle section.
Yang Fan said: "The maximum firing range is 3500 meters, the effective direct aiming range is 1500 meters. The minimum firing range is 300 meters. Within a thousand meters, due to the shooting angle problem, heavy high-explosive shells cannot be used. Only spherical solid bullets and shotgun shells can be used for direct shooting.
But the last shot must be shot with shotgun shells, and the last shot with spherical solid bullets should be fired at a distance of 500 meters."
The reloading time of this kind of heavy artillery is too long. After the last shot is fired, there is not enough time left to reload.
The walking speed of a person is about four kilometers per hour. This is the speed of strolling.
The Mongols were stronger, but they wore armor and weapons, and had to push heavy shield carts, which would only cover six kilometers in an hour.
It takes about 10 minutes to advance one kilometer. In other words, it takes them 35 minutes from departure to contact with the enemy. According to the firing rate of one gun every five minutes, there are 7 opportunities to fire.
Yang Fan looked down from the porthole of the cab. On both sides of the river, dense enemies were advancing. It seemed that they were preparing to advance despite the bombardment of artillery fire.
For the first time they encountered such sharp artillery, they could still maintain such courage, which shows that they are indeed excellent warriors.
If this were the army of the Ming Dynasty, they would have been scared out of their bodies and fled away. The infantry of the Ming Dynasty were so strange that even the cavalry and horsemen could not catch up with the infantry. There are many records of this kind of thing in history books.
The shells had been loaded, and Huang Hao asked: "Sir, should I shoot on the left or on the right?"
Yang Fan pondered for a while and said: "If you hurt ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of them. Then hit the right wing and destroy it for me."
Zhang Wudian shouted "Hello", and Dingyuan Bo came to the battle, showing his superb command level.
Just focus on one to hit and leave the other one alone.
The Taijis on the right will soon be beaten intolerable. This is because Mongolian Mongolia and Monan Mongolia are the same. It is Nayan who leads the grassroots tribes, with Taiji at the top, and the small Khan and the Great Khan at the top.
They are composed of different interest groups. It is impossible for Na Yan of any tribe to bear all the losses himself and let others gain. In this way, his tribe will be annexed after the war, and he will also be
If killed, his wives, daughters, warriors, slaves, cattle, sheep, and all property will become someone else's.
Not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality is a common characteristic of all human beings.
With a bang, the hull shook violently again, and a burst of fire and thick smoke erupted from the muzzle. A 200-pound heavy artillery shell roared out of the barrel.
The enemy's military formation was divided into two parts, Hedong and Hexi. The two parts advanced at the same time. The purpose was to block the river with wooden rafts from both sides and crowd the gunboats.
They also prepared a lot of burning materials and used vehicles to pull them towards this direction.
These burning objects are broken sheepskins, topped with the fierce fire oil that is a specialty of the Western Regions. The strong fire oil exudes a stench, but it is actually oil that naturally leaks out of the ground.
There are specially opened holes in the cannonballs, and the cannonballs fly away with a screaming sound, emitting a music of death.
This was designed by Yang Fan specifically instructing Fu Laoliu's team. Yang Fan wanted to use the scream to form a conditioned launch and amplify the enemy's fear.
The whistling sound of cannon shells is sharp and shrill, as if an awl has pierced your eardrum. It is very uncomfortable.
This time, the sound came together, and immediately there was a commotion in the infantry array.
Although they were forced forward by the cavalry, the tragic situation of the cavalry on the right last time had been deeply engraved in their minds.
When the whistling sound came, these people immediately began to hide in panic. Even the cavalry holding the formation panicked.
This was their first exposure to heavy artillery and they had no experience in dodging. They didn't know that lying down would be the best effect.
If you are not killed the first time, the best option is to get into the crater quickly. Since both guns landed at the same point, this possibility is basically non-existent.
Of course, in modern times, self-propelled artillery already has the technology of firing multiple shells in sequence and landing on one point. This technology did not exist before the 21st century.
Zhang Fengyi looked at the Mongolian soldiers and slaves running in the distance and asked: "Brother Yang, the flight of the artillery shells makes a harsh sound. Can you judge where the shells will land by the sound?"
Yang Fan looked back at Zhang Fengyi in surprise. He didn't expect this girl to be quite savvy.
Yang Fan nodded and said: "Different cannonballs have different sounds. Now this sound is made by drilling holes in the cannonball and letting the air flow pass through. But there are also natural sounds."
"If on the battlefield, the huge whistling sound of the artillery shell, carried by the strong wind, flies directly over the heads of the infantry, and the sharp and long whistling sound means that the artillery shell is very far away from you and cannot blow you. You
There’s no need to be afraid, just do whatever you have to do.”
In fact, Zhang Fengyi has no need for this knowledge, because unless she leads the troops to meet Yang Fan on the battlefield in the future, she will have no chance to learn about these advanced artillery.
It is impossible for Yang Fan to pass on these advanced artillery technologies. Yang Fan is currently developing in a wretched manner. He already has a base in the Ming Dynasty that is sufficient for his development. In the Ming Dynasty, his strength was these. And his true strength is hidden behind the Great Wall.
