Chapter 15 Thinking

The first one to be defeated was the French light cavalry. Even Marshal Matiweng, who clearly understood the war, could not call the iron pillar with the word "Divine Power" a rocket. They had no idea what a rocket was.

On the contrary, the Dubler swordsman from Germany, who was from Germany, shouted "Chinese gun" like a mental breakdown and fled the battlefield or launched a single-handed charge forward.

The Chinese gun is an ancient name. It originated from the Battle of Grenitz, a battlefield in Eastern Europe three hundred years ago.

During the battle, Poland and Germany gathered 30,000 coalition forces to fight against the Mongolian army in the Western Expedition and were killed and injured. The Mongolian army won a comprehensive victory with strategies and tactics far beyond the enemy. Their scouts advanced combat troops were reconnaissance and alert for hundreds of kilometers, and the light and heavy cavalry and dismounted infantry advanced forward in several parallel columns.

When the Eastern European Union encountered a column of columns attacking forward, the Mongolian army in front of them retreated and used cluster rockets similar to a swarm of buzzing to create smoke and kill the enemy. At the same time, the parallel columns of the two wings continued to advance and cut off the coalition traffic line from the flank to force them to retreat. When they encountered chaos during the retreat, they were annihilated.

That was the first time that Europeans encountered rockets. Fortunately, because Khan Ogedei died of illness, the Mongolian army returned to Korea and did not continue to attack westward, saving Europe from being conquered by military civilization that was better than them.

At that time, European knights were still wearing mail. The Mongolian army's light cavalry wore leather robes, while the heavy cavalry were equipped with the same full set of heavy armor as the Song, Liao, Jin and Western Xia, which was almost invulnerable to swords and guns. They used cluster rockets and flying muskets, and used Huihuan cannons to project thunderstorms at long range.

This military empire that fought from the East Asian battlefield can become anyone's nightmare as long as he wants.

And this time, the offensive came from the west.

Although a few swordsmen in front of the formation shouted that the Chinese gun was charging forward with heavy swords, for Marshal Matiweng, who was frightened by the explosion of the Shenwei Arrow in front of him, he believed that this was a new type of artillery of the Ming army.

When he saw four Ming troops sweeping northward, his eyes as if they were igniting a raging fire were still staring at the south, staring at 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 pedestrian knights with no combat ability in war horses joined the infantry under the leadership of Earl of Charles to stabilize the front; more than a hundred heavy armored knights gathered more scattered light cavalry, followed Matiweng to try to bypass the advancing Ming army front, abandoned the challenging Ming army heavy cavalry, and charged southward.

The more lethal the artillery, the more difficult it is to arrange the artillery positions. Matiweng wants to snatch these artillery.

But from the perspective of Wang Youlin, Xu Jin and others, this is not the case.

The Ming army could not imagine that being hit by the Divine Power Arrow would directly defeat the enemy's phalanx. The infantry front, which was aware of it, was moving forward quickly. As soon as they walked out a hundred steps, they saw the enemy knights. The cavalry gathered in one place and launched an assault on the flanks.

Xu Jin was a little better. Wang Youlin's horizontal formation stopped directly, and he laid a shield and tiger squatting cannon on the spot. He even used the high-pitched change of suona to tell the hundreds of households that once the knight approached, all the firepower would be greeted on them, and then he entered a hand-to-hand combat... Even if he was beaten up, he would drag them down no matter what he said.

They were all about to fight with all their might, but they saw the mighty knights running over from far to near, from near to far, and from near to far, and they didn't even look at the army waiting for battle, and they ran over happily from the side.

Matiweng had no idea that when he led his army through this Ming army's horizontal formation, the general Wang Youlin had already passed his life in his mind, and he thought through all the regrets.

As a result, Oh Huo, it wasn't for the grandpa to beat him, they walked back.

Compared with Wang Youlin, the chief general Yuan Zizhang, who was adjured, looked more like a berserker in tactical decision-making. He waved the flag and ordered four sides of the formation: "Running the enemy formation and annihilation of the phalanx, don't care about the enemy cavalry, the rear of the central army!"

Whether he was a martial arts master or a martial arts graduate, Yuan Zizhang had nothing but a warrior who grew up in the Ming Dynasty. Under the concept of firearms in the state since childhood, he could not understand the brain circuit of Matiweng's attempt to use his mobile power to seize the Ming army's "artillery" against the Ming army.

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

Matiweng had already passed by the front army, and he would not want to break into the middle of the four horizontal formations. He would shoot at them in four directions. No matter how thick the armor was, he could not withstand such a beating.

So, except for launching a front and back attack, Yuan Zizhang could not think of any other reason... He could not figure out the truth. Matiweng's real purpose was the two war drums and flag-carts pulled by the Western Horse of the Central Military Department.

As long as the two chariots are standing upside down, the double-layer structure of the car is the launching platform of the six-unit Shenwei Machinery Arrow. It can also be used as the launching vehicle for the general flag arrow if needed. However, the size of the general flag arrow is much smaller and it must be placed in the car with a wooden casing, and its range is much closer. Therefore, the flag army usually likes to carry the general flag quiver on its shoulders and launch it on its shoulders like a small flag arrow.

Only the Shenwei Mechanic arrows that were shot in three holes by Guangzhou Lecture Hall were not good enough. The tail flames ejected by this thing have no arrow shaft, and it needs to provide an initial ballistic control in the launch vehicle head tube, which is also a source of more accurate and longer range.

Yuan Zizhang's headquarters had only two hundred flag soldiers, both of which were bird guns and hundreds of households. However, in order to deal with the pedestrian knights with shields, he specially gathered the military's hand guns, so that the two bird guns and hundreds of households could try to make each of the flintlock or steel-bar rotary hand guns, in addition to the long bird guns.

The source of the hand guns in the army is chaotic, including Beiyang, Nanyang, Xuanfu, Jizhen, Western, Portugal, and France, and various battlefields. The production methods are different in different countries and looks different. The same is that the gun barrel is short, the killing is weak, the accuracy is poor, and the quality is only in the workmanship.

Relatively speaking, the most praised handgun in the army is the most praised by generals or the Fourth Army of the Ming Dynasty. Because the unified standard, parts, shape, loading, guns and bullets are the same, and they can be used any one of them. The most praised by the military is the French-made ones seized here and purchased from Baishan Camp. Although it is not a standard, two handguns may be picked out casually. The length, shape, and size of guns are different, but the advantage is that there are some beautiful and beautiful treasures.

Yuan Zizhang's pistol team was founded to deal with the most difficult battle, that is, his army was forced into a close melee under the charge of pedestrian knights. These flag troops using handguns would be able to kill the knights as much as possible at close range.

But his wish was vain, and the French knights flew over his front and rushed straight to the high ground where they had just come down without even turning their heads.

Yuan Zizhang, who was straddling the horse's back, putting on his helmet, dragging the Yanyue Sword, opened his mouth slightly and squeezed his eyes to the disappearing high ground of the knights: "This, is this... running away?"
