Chapter 1346, the most powerful thing in our Ming Dynasty is firearms
"Dong dong~"
The dull sound of horse hooves echoed on the earth, stirring up billowing smoke and coming like a sandstorm. The sky was dark, the banners covering the sky and the sun were ringing, and the chilling atmosphere filled the air between the sky and the earth. High in the sky,
The vultures began to circle and chirp constantly, waiting for a big meal to arrive.
"kill!"
Mulundekh Khan took out the golden sword in his hand, looked at the mighty red army in front, and coldly issued the order to attack.
Behind him, one hundred thousand grassland cavalry stretched out along the two wings, forming two huge arcs, like a huge mouth, intending to eat up the tens of thousands of Ming troops in front of him.
"Wow la la~"
"Ooo la la~"
Countless cavalrymen raised their scimitars above their heads and shook them continuously while shouting and cheering. Like wolves hunting for prey, their horse hooves galloped and surged across the grassland.
At the center of the attack formation is the 'Wolf Fang Cavalry' carefully built by Mulundekh Khan. The 20,000 Wolf Fang Cavalry are well-trained, wearing armor and helmets, and marching in neat steps, as slow as a torrent of steel.
Attacking the Ming army, the speed was very slow at first, but gradually it became faster and faster. Under the sunlight, their armor and scimitars reflected dazzling light.
"Woo~"
On the side of the Ming army led by Yang Yun, howls continued to sound. The flag commander beside Yang Yun kept waving the two flags in his hands, and orders were quickly passed to every corner of the army.
The team that was still marching mightily turned into a square defensive formation with a hill as the center in the blink of an eye. Teams of cavalry were neatly arranged and dotted like a giant square.
The outermost is the cavalry, the middle is the infantry, and the middle is the artillery regiment.
Everyone in the outer cavalry regiment was riding on horseback, taking off the muskets on their backs and aiming straight ahead. The infantry in the middle came down one after another. Under the command of the commander, they quickly built fortifications, formed a shooting queue, and quickly checked their hands.
firearms and carry out preparations before combat.
As for the artillery on the hill, they quickly built artillery positions, calculated shooting parameters, and prepared artillery attacks. Everything was very fast and orderly, without a trace of chaos.
"There should be a hundred thousand people!"
"Divide into three groups and outflank them on both wings. The approximately 20,000 people in the middle are wearing armors and helmets and are well-trained. They should be their elites."
"That should be where Mulundekh Khan is, and where are the black Sulu ingots."
On the hill, Yang Yun, Huo Ying, Han Yi and other generals used telescopes to carefully observe the enemy situation around them, and soon discovered the location of the Chinese army Mulundek Khan.
"Give me the order. When the battle begins, fire hard at the Chinese army."
"This Mulundekh Khan is also a talented person. He can actually arm a pure armored cavalry regiment of 20,000 people. These 20,000 people will most likely cause us a lot of casualties."
"If you can solve it with artillery, use artillery first. Don't confront them later. Let the infantry aim at the enemy's center and fire first."
"Hmph, the strongest thing in Ming Dynasty is not the cavalry, but the muskets and cannons!"
Yang Yun looked at the enemy situation in front of him and gave the order with a smile on his face.
Do you think you can defeat us just because you are all armored cavalry?
It's too naive to think.
The strongest thing in Ming Dynasty is not the cavalry, but the sharp muskets and cannons, especially the latest Hongzhi Type 20 musket. This musket is the latest musket developed by Miyun Iron Works. It has rifling, long range and high accuracy.
High, the key is to adopt the breech-loading mode of later generations, using uniformly manufactured copper-cased bullets and firing pin ignition.
This is definitely an epoch-making musket, and there is no substantial difference from the rifles of later generations.
This time, in order to destroy the Kazakh Khanate, the emperor was the first to equip this musket to the troops in the Western Region and Hezhong area.
Why should I go head-to-head with you when you don't have such a powerful musket?
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Yang Yun knows very well that just winning the battle is not important. The key is how to win the greatest victory at the smallest cost. This is the real skill.
"They are lucky enough to have a taste of the power of our Ming 20 muskets, and they will definitely remember it for a lifetime!"
Han Yi, Huo Ying and others on the side also laughed.
After seeing the power and rate of fire of the 20-gun, they all knew that the real era of firearms had arrived, and the cavalry would eventually withdraw from the stage of history.
Before the advent of the 2000 musket, in order to increase the accuracy, density and continuity of shooting, three-stage shooting was used to ensure the accuracy, precision and continuity of shooting.
However, in the case of 20 muskets, three-stage shooting must be eliminated. New muskets do not need three-stage shooting to have sufficient accuracy and sustainability.
Relying on the method of pulling the bolt, the speed of loading bullets is countless times faster than before. Even if ten thousand muskets are fired, the effect is faster than the previous one hundred thousand muskets. The bullets are denser and the accuracy is higher.
.
Such a musket is absolutely invincible in the world.
While a few people were talking, the enemy's attack horn sounded through the sky, and the surging army surged towards the Ming army from all directions.
"Distance 2500 meters, wind speed level 3~"
"Up 2 degrees, three rapid fire shots~"
Here at the artillery position, the commander who calculated the parameters took a notebook and pen and quickly calculated the shooting parameters.
Along with the waving of the red flag, hundreds of Miyun cannons began to roar.
"Dong dong~dong dong~"
The sound was so loud that the vultures circling in the sky were frightened, and their circling formations became chaotic.
The billowing white smoke enveloped the hills, and was gradually blown away by a gust of wind. The smell of gunpowder smoke enveloped the earth, and artillery shells roared in the sky towards the Chinese army where Mulundekh Khan was located.
"Huh~"
The roar of artillery shells pierced the sky.
Then it fell heavily to the ground and exploded violently again.
"Boom~Boom~"
The shells fell one after another, making loud noises and creating huge craters on the ground. Terrifying air waves flew up, along with countless steel balls, and shrapnel shot out in all directions.
"Ah~"
Countless screams rang out, and the "Spike Cavalry" regiment that was speeding up the attack in an orderly manner suddenly became extremely chaotic. Under the terrifying artillery attack, the war horses were frightened and ran around randomly.
Under the impact of the terrible air waves, countless figures fell one after another. Under the impact of steel balls and shrapnel, war horses and cavalry fell down one after another. Blood flew out. Broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere. The blood dyed the grassland red, and then continued.
Gather into a stream.
"Protect the Great Khan, protect the Great Khan~"
Here, where Mulundekh Khan was, his ministers, guards, leaders of various tribes, nobles, etc. were all frightened by the fierce artillery attack, and then they rushed towards Mulundekh Khan crazily.
They crowded over, trying to block the fierce artillery fire with their own flesh and blood.
However this is just the beginning.
The three-shot rapid fire is just to test the shooting parameters. After the rapid fire, modify the parameters.
More intense artillery fire attacked Mulundekh Khan's army.
"Dong dong~dong dong~"
Deafening sounds of shelling came one after another, and the whistling of shells in the sky made people tremble with fear. The shells were like flowers of death, blooming on the earth, and every bloom was bound to be accompanied by the withering of a large number of lives.
"This~this~"
Mulundek Khan was shocked and dizzy. He finally recovered and looked at everything in front of him. He saw that the Wolf Fang Cavalry Regiment, which he had placed high hopes on, had lost its formation under several rounds of artillery fire and suffered heavy casualties.
A large number of people even died under the hooves of their own horses.
On the grassland, large pits appeared one after another. Surrounding the large pits were corpses and a large number of figures screaming in pain. In the large pits, blood gathered together, making it extremely eye-catching.
"It has been rumored that the Ming Dynasty's artillery is invincible in the world, but I didn't expect it to be so terrifying!"
Balandu's eyes were filled with stars, and his ears were filled with roaring sounds. Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, he remembered what someone had told him, that the Ming Dynasty's artillery was invincible in the world.
The Kazakh Khanate has never experienced the power of the Ming Dynasty's artillery. It was defeated by the Ming Dynasty's cavalry. It never thought that the Ming Dynasty's artillery could be so powerful.
However, at this moment, everything was already too late.
Fierce artillery fire continued to fall on the Kazakh Khanate's army. The Chinese army suffered heavy losses here. Under intensive care, the attack formation of the 20,000-person Wolf Fang Cavalry Regiment was disrupted, resulting in heavy casualties.
But there is no doubt about the speed of the cavalry, especially when the speed is increased, it does not take long to rush over at a distance of just over 2,000 meters.
It's just that what they greeted them was not the Ming Dynasty's cavalry, but rows of black muzzles.
As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, a large number of cavalry began to enter within a range of fifty meters.
"Fire!"
Following the order, a gunshot rang out, and the man at the front fell off his horse.
The sound of gunfire, like random roasting of beans, came one after another.
"Bang~bang~"
With the billowing smoke, intensive gunfire, and the line of death formed by countless bullets, all the Kazakh cavalry who entered this range were not spared. They fell off their horses one after another as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer, and even their
The war horses were not spared and fell down one after another.
The armor he wears and the helmet on his head are as thin as paper and have no effect at all. They can't block the bullet attack at all. Even if they block it, the horse they are riding on has no protection and can't withstand the bullets at all.
of shooting.
Under the rapid gallop, the war horses fell, and the strong inertia was enough to tear them apart. An extremely tragic scene was staged on the grassland.
