The soldiers of the baggage regiment used small carts to push the barrels of the loaded nine-shot door guns to the front.
A bundle of ten gun barrels was placed vertically at the feet of each soldier.
Once a fight breaks out, the soldiers in the front just need to fire their guns and don't have to reload them. The soldiers in the back will load them for them.
The war was about to begin, and the bugle sounded. This sound was a warning that no one else was allowed to come out.
As soon as the Mongols rush up, they will move forward and shoot at the same time. Arrows are flying all over the sky, and the camp has no cover. It would be bad if they are hit by stray arrows.
There are many tents set up in the camp area.
These tents were ordered in Hyundai and are all specially made.
A layer of stab-proof fabric and fire-proof fabric is added to the outside of the canvas, so it is not afraid of bows and arrows being thrown, nor is it afraid of rockets setting fire.
Therefore, anyone who is fine is very safe hiding in a tent. Food, supplies, livestock, and fodder are also very safe.
The Mongols rushed forward with a lot of noise and chaos. They also had various weapons in their hands. Some were holding scimitars, some were holding spears of different lengths, and some were even holding five-pronged forks.
Yang Fan was scratching his head when he saw it. Isn't this a production tool for inserting straw bales? It turns out that the Mongolians were already so impoverished under the long-term blockade of the Ming Dynasty.
We can only roughly distinguish different tribes, and they gather together in groups, shouting and rushing over together, without any formation or coordination.
Yang Fan curled his lips when he saw it, it was a ragtag group of people.
I also lamented in my heart that Taizu and Chengzu had completely brought them back to their original form. The national army of Genghis Khan had long since ceased to exist.
At that time, Genghis Khan broke down the tribal barriers. Thousand households were the basic unit, and the thousand households were only responsible to the Great Khan.
In order to show loyalty to the Great Khan, Qianhu must send one of his most outstanding sons to the Great Khan to join the Qixue Army.
The Qixue Army is the Imperial Guard of the Great Khan, the most elite army in Mongolia. They are responsible for protecting the Great Khan, and they are also the hostages of thousands of households under the control of the Great Khan.
At that time, the Mongolian army had unified military and political orders, extremely high combat efficiency, and exploded with astonishing combat effectiveness.
Now on the grasslands, wherever there is a national army, they are all private armed forces. People are attached to their respective lords and are just trying to survive.
Lin Danhan, the last emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, was just a member of a larger tribe called Nayan.
The whole camp was silent.
The Mongols were a little strange. They were about to rush under the wall, but why didn't these Han people react at all?
Won't they all be frightened?
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters.
Boom! A cannon shot came from the top of the mountain. This was the horn of attack and the signal to open fire.
The cannon at Yang Fan's feet is the signal for the release of the highest order.
The officers on the watchtower immediately stood up and blew their whistles.
Toot! Toot! Toot!
The militiamen squatting on the scaffolding immediately stood up and pointed their guns outward.
They saw, thirty meters away, secretive Mongolians, wearing tattered leather robes, carrying simple ladders, rushing towards them with ferocious faces.
"Fire!" Officers at all levels shouted one after another.
Thirty meters is the maximum effective killing range of the fire door gun. Although the accuracy of this distance is not good and it cannot hit where it is pointed, the killing power is enough and there is no problem in penetrating ordinary iron armor.
The Mongols are too dense. Accuracy is not necessary at this time. As long as they are fired without hitting the sky or the ground, they can basically hit an unlucky person.
Because, the current fire door gun has been improved.
The propellant is made more sophisticated, and the barrel is changed to open-hearth molten steel hammer forging. This solves the problem in the past. The barrel is very thin, but has stronger performance. It reduces the weight and lengthens the barrel, increasing the muzzle velocity.
These gun barrels are wrapped in steel rods while the steel bars are red and soft, and are continuously beaten with water hammers to squeeze out bubbles and cracks. They are then repeatedly quenched and cooled to increase the hardness of the gun bore and the toughness of the barrel.
A high-precision inner tube is made from the bore, and finally drilled with a hydraulic machine.
Originally, Yang Fan wanted to eliminate the fire door gun, but considering the close range combat, this repeating gun still has great value, so it was retained as the standard equipment for the second-line troops.
Lead bullets are now armor-piercing bullets made of soft lead wrapped with steel balls. They are all punched out and have a very standard sphere shape, which increases accuracy.
The soldiers on the wall immediately grabbed the fire door guns and started shooting. The soldiers under the wall also extended the fire door guns from the half-foot-square shooting port.
After the soldiers on the wall prepare to shoot one barrel, they will change the barrel's gap and fire the second round so that the firepower can be output continuously during the stroke.
There were also two soldiers lying under the chassis of the carriage.
They were also shooting with portal guns.
This is to prevent enemies from getting in under the car. Two soldiers must be placed here.
At this moment, on the hill in the distance, Mang Gurtai, Khan Ahai, Buyan Ahai, Du Lengguying, Wandan Weizheng and others all saw the blue car city in the distance.
become protruding.
Suddenly there was a gunshot.
Immediately afterwards, flames and gunpowder smoke spewed out from three walls, the upper and lower floors.
For a time, intensive musket fire almost illuminated the entire wall, and the smoke spread quickly, almost wrapping the city wall.
The Mongolian infantry who had rushed within thirty meters of the wall were like felled wheat. Those in front fell forward. Those behind were pushed by those further behind and continued to move forward. Then they were shot in the next round.
Throw down.
The militiamen fired first, second, and third times, and they fired roughly at one person.
However, there is no need to aim after that, because the repeater fires quickly, and maroon gunpowder is also a type of black powder. Although it burns evenly, there is not a lot of smoke at all.
After the smoke started to rise, the visibility in front of us decreased rapidly, and soon it was completely white and nothing could be seen. There were no clouds in the grassland today, which was a rare good weather.
However, there is no wind, and the smoke fired by gunpowder cannot be quickly blown away by the strong wind on the grassland.
The militiamen couldn't see the Mongols below, but they knew that they were all Mongols below. Their usual mechanical training worked. Regardless of the situation below, they just kept firing, and soon the barrel was empty.
.
Those charging below are all tribal herdsmen.
Mongolian tribes all have small tribes under the big tribes, and grassroots tribes under the small tribes. These grassroots tribes are about the same size as the tribe An Sanxi and his friends first came to the grassland and conquered.
Because nomads must be dispersed on the grassland, because a piece of grassland cannot support too many people.
Na Yan and his tribe, ranging from over a hundred to seventy or eighty strong men, rushed forward in groups and were quickly knocked to the ground by muskets.
Na Yan, a member of a small tribe, saw dozens of people from his tribe falling down one by one under the gunfire, and his eyes were red.
