open sea

Chapter 1198 Thinking
The first to be defeated was the French Qing cavalry. Even Marshal Matteon, who had the clearest understanding of war, could not call the iron pillar cast with the word "Shenwei" a rocket. They didn't even know what a rocket was.

On the contrary, the Doppler swordsman from Germany among the mercenaries fled the battlefield shouting "Chinese guns" like a nervous breakdown or launched a desperate charge forward alone.

Chinese gun is an old name, it comes from the Eastern European battlefield 300 years ago, the Battle of Greynez.

During the battle, Poland and Germany assembled [-] allied forces to fight against the Mongolian army that was marching west. The Mongolian army won an overall victory with strategies and tactics far superior to the enemy. A large parallel column moved forward.

When the Eastern European coalition forces encountered a column attacking forward, the Mongolian army in front of them retreated, and used cluster rockets similar to a swarm of bees to create smoke and kill the enemy. Encountered confusion during the retreat and was annihilated.

That was the first time Europeans encountered rockets. Fortunately, due to the death of the Great Khan Okuotai, the Mongolian army returned to the court and did not continue to attack westward, which saved Europe from being conquered by a military civilization that was comprehensively superior to theirs.

At that time, European knights still wore mail armor. The light cavalry of the Mongolian army wore leather robes, and the heavy cavalry were all equipped with the same full set of heavy armor and armor as Song, Liao, Jin, and Xixia. They were almost invulnerable; they used cluster rockets and flying guns, and returned artillery Throws thunder from a distance.

This military empire that emerged from the battlefields of East Asia, as long as he wanted to—could become anyone's nightmare.

But this time, the offensive came from the west.

Although a few Doppler swordsmen in front of the battle charged forward with heavy swords and shouted Chinese spears, to Marshal Mattion, who was frightened by the explosion of the arrow of the divine power mechanism and knocked off his horse, he thought it was an attack by the Ming army. A new type of artillery.

When he saw the four Ming armies sweeping towards the north in a horizontal formation, his eyes, like a raging fire, were still fixed on the south, on the high ground where the flames rose not long ago.

The early trombone sounded a soft tone, and the chaotic but well-trained knights quickly assembled. The foot knights with horses and no combat capabilities joined the infantry under the leadership of the Earl of Shire to stabilize the front; more than a hundred heavily armored knights assembled More scattered light cavalry charged south as Mation tried to circumvent the advancing Ming army's line, abandoning the challenging Ming army's heavy cavalry.

The more lethal the artillery, the more difficult it is to arrange the artillery positions. Mattion wants to grab these artillery.

But from the perspective of Wang Youlin, Xu Jin and others, things are not like this.

The Ming army could not have imagined that being hit on the head by the arrow of the Shenwei mechanism would directly smash the enemy's phalanx to the point of collapse. The infantry line moved forward quickly, and the enemy's knights and cavalry were assembled just after walking a hundred steps. At one point, launch an assault to the flank.

Xu Jin's side was better. Wang Youlin's horizontal formation stopped immediately, put down the shield and squatted cannons on the spot, and even used the high-pitched suona to tell the next hundred households that once the knights approached, all the firepower would be directed at them. They greeted each other, and then entered hand-to-hand combat... Even if you were rushed, you were unlucky, and you had to hold them back if you said anything.

They were about to fight with their backs, but they saw the majestic knights from far to near, from near to far, and ran past happily from the side without even looking at the whole army ready for battle.

Mattion didn't know that when he led his troops through this Ming army's horizontal formation, Wang Youlin, the general of the horizontal formation, had already gone through his life in his mind, thinking through all the things he regretted.

In the end, huh, they didn't come to beat Grandpa, they walked back.

Compared with Wang Youlin, Yuan Zizhang, the adjourned general, was more like a berserker in tactical decision-making. He waved a banner and ordered to the four-way horizontal formation: "Go straight to the enemy's formation and destroy the phalanx. Don't worry about the enemy's cavalry. The central army will be in the rear!"

No matter whether he was born as a Wu Jinshi or a graduate of the Jiangwu Hall, Yuan Zizhang could not escape being a warrior who grew up in the Ming Dynasty. Under the concept of Guochao firearms that he had been familiar with since childhood, he couldn't figure out how Mation wanted to use mobile power After taking away the brain circuit of the Ming army's "artillery" against the Ming army.

He believes that the most important knight force on the battlefield of the French army wants to break into the formation and launch a front and rear flanking attack on the army formation from the rear.

Mattion had already passed the front army, so he didn't want to break into the middle of the four-way horizontal formation. The bird gun banner soldiers would shoot at them in all four directions, no matter how thick the armor was, it couldn't withstand such a brutal beating.

So Yuan Zizhang couldn't think of any other reason other than launching a front and back attack... He couldn't figure it out even if he tried to break the sky. Mation's real purpose was the two boards carrying war drums and banners pulled by the big horses of the Western Kingdom of the Central Military Department. car.

As long as the two carts are erected obliquely, the double-layer structure of the cart is the launching platform for the six-unit Shenwei machine arrows. If necessary, it can also be used as the general flag arrow launch vehicle, but the size of the general flag arrow is much smaller. It needs to be put into the car with the wooden casing, and its shooting range is much shorter. Therefore, flag troops usually like to carry the general flag quiver on their shoulders like small flag arrows.

Only the Shenwei mechanism arrow with three holes rotating sprayed by the Guangzhou Lecture Hall at the end is not enough. The tail flame ejected by this thing spins without an arrow shaft, and an initial ballistic control needs to be provided in the launch vehicle length tube, which is also more important. Accurate, longer-range sources.

Yuan Zizhang's headquarters only had two hundred banner troops, both of which were of hundreds of javelins, but in order to deal with the foot knights with shields, he specially assembled hand guns in the army, and let the two banner troops of [-] javelins get rid of the long birds In addition to guns, try to make sure that each person has a flintlock or a steel rod runner hand gun.

The sources of pistols in the military are messy, some are made in Beiyang, Nanyang, Xuanfu, and Jizhen, as well as those made in Xiguo, Portugal, and France. These battlefields are captured in various ways, and the production methods and appearances of each country are also different. The same That is, the gun barrel is short, the damage is weak, and the accuracy is poor. The quality difference is only in the workmanship.

Relatively speaking, the handgun that is most praised by the generals in the army is the Fourth Military Weapons Bureau of the Ming Dynasty. Because of the unified system, the parts, shape, charge, and bullets are the same, and you can use any one you want; the most praised by the soldiers is the They were seized here and purchased from Baishanying. They are made in France. Although they are not standard, you may choose two handguns at random. The barrel length, shape, accuracy, and bullet size are different, but some of them are exquisite in shape and look good. baby.

Yuan Zizhang's pistol team was created to deal with the most difficult battles, that is, his army formation was forced into hand-to-hand melee under the charge of foot knights. Get rid of those knights.

But his wish was in vain, and the French knights swept past his lines with great ruthlessness, and went straight to the high ground they had just descended without looking back.

Yuan Zizhang, who straddled his horseback with his helmet on his armor and dragged the Yanyue knife backwards, opened his mouth slightly, and winked fiercely at the high ground where the knights disappeared: "This, this is... escaped?"

　Good morning!
