Chapter 481
Seeing his subordinates being bombarded, Zhu Sijiu, the commander of the Guard Infantry Division, was shocked and opened his mouth and could not close it for a long time. His Guard Infantry Division was placed on the field, without a village support, and without a high tower to discover the Mongol cannon trucks in advance. It can be said that he was suddenly hit.
The sound of hundreds of small cannons firing together was really huge. Since the quality of the H-drugs provided to Mongolia by the Southern Song Dynasty was not very good, there was a lot of thick smoke when one shot was shot. The smoke was amazing. The front of the Guards Infantry Division was suddenly filled with gunpowder, and the battlefield was full of choking smoke poisonous fog.
Moreover, most of the crossbowmen of the Guard Infantry Division were recruited. Seeing the Mongolian soldiers rushing over hundreds of cannon cars, it was already in chaos. Some people fled in panic, and some people lie down to avoid the cannons. The sound of the cannons was almost collapsed. If it weren't for the Han Ding Zhuang who was rushing into the formation, the crossbowmen of the Guard Infantry Division would be destroyed by the opponent.
"Ming Jin, let the crossbowman take it down and rectify it!"
Zhu Sijiu ordered angrily: "The four crossbow battalions are all bigger than once! Each battalion, company, platoon leader, and the instructors of Dayi of each battalion were reduced to first-class titles (all sirs, and they will be gone if they are reduced to first-class titles). Instructor Lu, do you have any objections?"
"I have no objection!" Lu Zhengtong, the instructor of the Guard Infantry Division, was a graduate of the first phase of the camp military academy. When he saw the collapse of the crossbowmen, he responded loudly and turned around and shouted: "Inspector, come with me!"
The division-level instructors had a "gun policeman" under their command, called "inspector team". In addition to supervising combat, they were inspectors of military discipline and enforcing military laws. There were only 30 people in the team, but they were all veterans with the status of a sergeant. They also specially selected soldiers who had been through battle formations and looked fierce. No one in the middle and lower-level military generals in the army were not afraid of them.
When the inspection team was dispatched in the last battle, it would probably be a little blood. After the four crossbows were collected, they would definitely pick a few unlucky men who lost their crossbows and had no scars on them...
"Okay! Good fight! Saidian Chi. Shan Siding, you are my minister. I now give you the title of the chief of the artillery army!"
Kublai Khan saw more than 100 artillery chariots behind the formation and blasted the Ming army's crossbowmen. He suddenly felt overjoyed and casually sealed Saidian Chi. Shan Siding, a 10,000-house captain of the artillery army, and then looked around proudly.
"Everyone, have you seen it? My Mongolian cannons can also make Ming Ni run away with his head. Now there are only a hundred small cannons, so there will be such a record. If there are thousands of cannons in the future, and tens of cannons will be on the battlefield. What kind of enemy will be unbeaten?"
An enemy like the Ming Dynasty may be unbeaten! But Kublai Khan's words are not completely wrong. If his Mongolian army was equipped with enough bronze cannons and thunder arrows, and truly learned to use H-drug weapons in the war with the Ming army, then the group of uninformed rustic military leaders in the West and India would definitely not be able to defeat him.
However, several Mongolian generals had a look of pity at this time. When the Ming thief was in chaos, if thousands of cavalry took advantage of the situation to rush forward, the Ming thief might have already broken down. However, the battlefield was full of overturned sand shield chariots, and the horse could not rush. Could it be that in the future, the war would be like artillery chariots and infantry?
"Tell the order to let Tachaer retreat behind the overturned sand shield chariots first and hold them tightly."
At this time, Kublai Khan pointed to the "sand shield pile" that could barely be pulled into a curve on the battlefield and said, "I asked Tachaer to drive the Han Ding Zhuang up again. Dig up the soil and pile up the walls, connecting these sand shield cars into one, leaving a passage in the middle for the cannon carriages to enter and exit. Let's build a wall in the middle of the battlefield, and use this as a stronghold to repeatedly attack the center of the Ming thief's front with artillery cars and infantry!"
Kublai Khan ordered that tens of thousands of Han Ding Zhuang were driven to the battlefield, but they were lucky than Liu Minzhong. Without rushing, they just needed to dig up the soil and pile up around the overturned sand shield chariots and build a curved chest wall. Of course, it was both hands! Kublai Khan would not be stupid enough to hand over the shovels that could kill people to these Han Ding Zhuang. This is the battlefield, and there are tens of thousands of elite Han soldiers on the opposite side that would rush over at any time...
Countless expressions of numbness, as if they had forgotten their pain and fear, and had to leave their fate, the Han men, who could only leave their fate, were urging the whip and scimitar of the warriors under Tachaer's troops. They digged the soil with their hands in despair, and piled up a chest wall to resist artillery fire for the mortal enemy of the Han people.
...
"How do these Mongolians build walls on the battlefield?" Chen Dexing, who was watching the battle in the Gaojialou Tower, put down his telescope, rubbed his eyes hard, then looked again, shook his head and said, "Kublai really thought of this, he actually repaired fortifications on the battlefield to fight a positional battle!"
Chen Qianyi looked at the Han Ding Zhuang who was driven like an ant in the distance, and sighed and said, "Kublai Khan is consuming the lives of our Han people... This is the most hateful thing about the Mongols! If you don't have the courage to fight with us in front of us, you will know that you will bully our people. Brother, it's better to let your brothers rush around and save some people."
"Not now, Kublai Khan has more men than us, and he is not weak in hand-to-hand combat." Chen Dexing said, "Isn't it just to build a chest wall? We don't know how to do it! If you send the order, call the Fourth Division, the Guard Division and the Silver Armor Division to build a chest wall. At worst, the chest wall is facing the chest wall, the trench faces the trench, and the cannons are against the small cannons... Our cannons are much more powerful than the Mongolian cannons!"
"Brother, I'm not useless when seeing the Mongolian's small cannons, at least they are light and flexible." Chen Qianyi frowned, "And these small cannons must be just the beginning... The Mongolians are paying more and more attention to firearms. I'm worried that they will sooner or later see the secret of the pelleted H medicine!"
It is indeed a matter of time, and it will not be too long. With the national strength of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, if we try our best to explore and study the secrets of H-drug, we will sooner or later produce granules of H-drug. Perhaps a small H-drug water-soaked accident will allow the Mongolians to obtain granules of H-drug.
"So what?" Chen Dexing laughed, "H medicine, bronze cannon, and steel armor are all valuable. How much money does Kublai Khan have? What should he fight with the Lone King?"
Chen Qianyi looked at Chen Dexing with some confusion. He was not a martial artist. Before joining the Chen family, he had been teaching in the military academy and also worked in the Military Affairs Department. He was very familiar with the logistics and finance situation.
Although the Beiming had a lot of money, it was not enough to crush Mongolia. Compared with the Song Dynasty, it was only one-eighth of the annual income of only 123 million jin, mainly because of the sea protection fees. In the past, when the Beiming had only 80,000 troops, these money was very expensive. But now the Ming army is getting bigger and bigger, and it is about to exceed 200,000. The expenses of military pay and food alone would have to spend millions a year. Moreover, as the Beiming occupied most parts of Yanyun and Hebei, various expenses in civil affairs and people's livelihood would inevitably increase greatly.
After all, Yanyun, the land of Hebei is the main battlefield of this war. Kublai Khan's Mongolian army has been damaging everywhere, and his vitality has been severely damaged. He can't even get rid of it without three to five years of rest. There are so many places that need to be spent. How much financial resources can Beiming have to fight with Kublai Khan and the Song Dynasty for pharmacies and cannons? Could it be that money from the sea trade? This sea trade is not a treasure pot that can make money without restrictions. The burden on sea trade is now very heavy. If you plunder it more vigorously, you will be afraid that things will turn back, which will cause the sea trade to shrink, but it will be more costly.
"Twentieth brother, money is not a problem. As long as you control the sea, gold and silver will come like a tide..." Before Chen Dexing finished speaking, a rumbling explosion suddenly came from the battlefield.
The explosion sounded so much than the roar of the small cannon before, and it made the earth tremble and extraordinary.
Chen Dexing raised his telescope and looked at the place where the explosion sounded. It was the Mongolians firing the sky thunder arrows, and they were not aiming directly, but shooting. It turned out that the Mongolians set up the three-bow bed crossbow behind the overturned sand shield cart. Using the sand shield cart as a cover, the main bombardment position of the Ming army was still the center of the Northern Ming army.
Obviously, Kublai Khan is ready to fight a central breakthrough offensive!
The Sky Thunder Arrow was originally a long-range weapon with a relatively accurate head. Although the range was not as good as the Beiming 3-inch cannon (if it was not a Sky Thunder Arrow, but a large arrow without a H-drug warhead, it was no less than the range of a bronze cannon), it was still very powerful. However, the Sky Thunder Arrow's accurate head was direct shot, and when it was ejected, it was not accurate at all.
Moreover, after the first round of the Mongols' bombardment of the Sky Thunder Arrows began, Zhu Sijiu ordered the troops to retreat dozens of steps and completely avoid the attack. Therefore, the Mongols' Sky Thunder Arrows only created a large amount of gunpowder smoke in front of the Ming army formation, and the vision on the battlefield suddenly became blurred.
"Brother, are the Mongols wasting the thunder arrow?" Chen Qianyi's voice was puzzled. Although Song State provided H medicine to Kublai Khan, the quantity was limited after all, how could he withstand such waste?
"It's not a waste, Kublai Khan is making smoke!" Chen Dexing took a breath and was sincerely impressed by Kublai Khan's speed of adapting to the H-drug era. He actually thought of the method of using gunpowder to cover the repetition. In fact, Li Yu thought of it and then learned it by Kublai Khan. Now the three kingdoms of Tang, Yuan and Ming dynasties are all revolving around war, and various advanced weapons and tactics are naturally emerging one after another.
Chen Dexing turned around and said to Chen Qianyi: "Twentieth brother, the Lone King is going to the front line!"
Obviously, at this point, King Chen Daming was a little unable to sit still and wanted to go to the front line to take charge.
Chen Qianyi said: "Okay, I will take someone to protect you."
