However, the pitch angle of the naval gun cannot be too large, because it is restricted by the cannon gate. If the muzzle is lifted too high, it cannot be pushed out. Therefore, the naval gun can generally be adjusted between zero and octaves. [Read] Why were ancient sail warships all afraid of land turrets? The reason is that the cannons of the turrets can hit warships, but the cannons of the warships cannot hit the turrets unless the cannon is particularly short. Once the cannons exceed the upper boundary of the naval gun, the warship is a living target. Most of the cannons are built on mountains on both sides of the port, so for sail warships, the cannons are all nightmares.

There is no fort at Shizikou Port, and there are no tall buildings and mountains in the port. It is a great thing for extended attacks of naval guns. A distance of less than two thousand meters, it is enough to raise the muzzle about four degrees. If it is raised to an octave angle, the 155 cannon can hit the solid bullet to 3 kilometers. As for the issue of left and right angles, it is the matter of anchor chain soldiers. On sailing warships, there is a special profession that is responsible for adjusting the length of anchor chains. Don’t underestimate this profession. After the two anchors in the warship, one front and one back fall, the horizontal angle is adjusted by these two anchors. Which side of the anchor chain is tightened and the anchor chain is relaxed, the side of the warship can slightly adjust the angle, so that the naval gun can aim left and right.

The reason why Hong Tao dared to ask Swan's father to charge with more than 300 people and also carry a spearman Mongolian infantry formation ten times more than him was because there were naval guns to use. There was only one way for infantry to deal with cavalry, that is, the formation, closely arranged formations can slow down the cavalry's speed like mud, and then submerge them. Once the formation is lost, especially when retreating, if it is bitten by the cavalry, the infantry will end up very miserably, and there is basically no way to resist.

What can we use to break the formation of infantry? Generally speaking, we use archers to slowly grind it, or simply use our own infantry to fight with cavalry, and then use cavalry to attack. But it is not 100%. If the opponent's infantry is well trained and some infantry are divided into some infantry to deal with infantry, the other infantry are still intact, and the cavalry still has no choice. Of course, when there are more infantry than cavalry, if there are as many infantry as cavalry, the cavalry will not have to work so hard. One charge will cost a small part of the cavalry and the infantry formation will be dispersed.

Now Hong Tao doesn't have to work so hard. He has a cannon. He will fight this thing, no matter whether it is accurate or not, if the opponent's infantry can still stand still, then Hong Tao will withdraw his troops! If you accept it, won't you stop fighting? Your infantry is too powerful and I can't defeat it. But are there infantry in the world standing in place waiting for the big iron ball to blow up? Anyway, Hong Tao's memory does not have it. Even Napoleon's infantry phalanx is still in the rain of bullets while moving. Moreover, the army does not have so many artillery when fighting. Unlike the navy, a fleet can match the number of artillery in the army and a legion.

As a thick smoke erupted from the Jinhe No. 1 gun position, the five warships immediately fell into smoke again. The port seemed to be boiling a pot, and they could not hear loudly shouting. Only your mouth was moving. What about the effect of the shelling? Hong Tao could see it himself without a lookout report. To describe it as a terrible idiom!

Most of the shells did not fall into the Mongolian infantry formation, with thousands of people. Even if they stand closely, they will have to have more than ten acres of land? Unfortunately, even if it is such a large area, it is still not as large as the current scattering area of ​​the formerly equipped artillery. Fortunately, there are still a few and a half of the shells that hit the target and successfully exploded.

Now the Mongolian infantry is completely in chaos. No one can tell the tragedy that the cavalry suffered. They can see it themselves. Thousands of people were gone in an instant. The hundreds of people who ran back by luck were like those caught from plasma. Many horses still had other people's internal organs hanging on their horses. Now they are here again? No one is fool. Isn't this the sound of breaking the cavalry? The companions next to them were indeed blown to the blood, so what are you waiting for? Run! People cannot fight with gods. Damn it, and they are still holding spears to make eggs.

As long as one thinks this way and does this way, it will have a chain reaction. The Mongolian infantry, who were already a little suspicious, had already thrown down their weapons before the first round of artillery was completely completed, and they began to run backwards. At this time, Swan's father's cavalry had already rushed to two hundred meters away. The horses jogging in small steps began to increase their pace and were about to enter the final charge. The spear formation that was originally blocked in front was scattered, which happened to make way for these heavily armored cavalrymen. So the two columns that were planning to confront head-on became horizontally long snake formations under the command of Swan's father's scimitar. The Mamluk cavalry, who were wrapped in iron armor, began to hit the breastplate with scimitars. The war horses under their crotch did not need to be whipped, and they knew what to do. They immediately increased their pace again and entered the sprint from trotting.

The fleeing infantry was swept by heavy armored cavalry, and they were so close that they were like wheat being harvested by a sickle. They didn't have to slash it for life. They just had to stretch out the scimitar slightly. With the impact speed of the war horse, they flew when they hit the head. When they touched the human body, they were a big hole. Want to avoid it? No way, once these more than 300 Mamluk cavalry are lined up, there is no gap to drill, unless you can move to both sides quickly. Unfortunately, human legs cannot run through the horse legs, and most infantry are harvested like this.

This is not the end. The Mamluk cavalry rushed for only more than 200 meters and the formation changed again. They shrank again in the middle and became two columns, passing through the middle of the Mongolian infantry. After running out a hundred meters, they suddenly stretched out to both sides like geese, then turned the horse's head and returned from behind to front.

"Your father is a tactician and an artist. I have never seen him use cavalry like this. Please show me my respect to him." Hong Tao stood far away and could see the panoramic view of the battlefield. He quickly understood what Swan's father was doing. He wanted to make dumplings from Mongolian infantry. Those infantry would definitely not continue to run forward and fight with these iron armored cavalry. They would instinctively turn around and run backward, that is, run towards the dock. The problem is that between them and the dock, there are still hundreds of Mamluk axe soldiers who have been pulled into straggles for a long time. When the cavalry began to turn around, these axe soldiers turned their walking into trots, like they received some commands, under the leadership of the commander.

"Bang...bang...bang...bang..." The sound from the battlefield made Hong Tao blush. This was the sound of the big buckets and small buckets he designed while walking. It was very similar to the sound of a pile of broken iron cans. It was very harsh and not good at all. More importantly, it was not at all momentum, and it was too messy and messy.

The sound is indeed not nice, but the role of these axe soldiers is no worse than that of cavalry. Faced with the scattered enemy defeated soldiers, the big axe is much more fierce than the scimitar, and a large axe is even more scary. There is a big axe in front and a scimitar behind, and the Mongolian infantry immediately stopped running away and kneeled down to surrender. The remaining part of the one who planned to resist to the end became the target of the marines in Langya.

They had horses, but they didn't have to charge, and they even followed the axe soldiers to watch the fun. As soon as they saw that there was a advantage, they immediately rushed out. More than a dozen people formed a team to chase the infantry who escaped by chance. They were all light cavalrymen, and they didn't wear anything except leather armor, and they ran very quickly. Moreover, they completely inherited Hong Tao's philosophy and judged their enemies and friends 100% on the battlefield. All the defeated soldiers who were chased by them would be killed by arrows. Only dead people and those who were about to die were good people, taught by Hong Tao!

The reinforcements of more than 3,000 people were wiped out in less than an hour and a half. In the end, only more than 1,100 people surrendered, and more than 300 injured were all killed by the axe soldiers. This time it was not the order given by Hong Tao, but Swan's father. Not only Hong Tao should not be injured, but he should not be injured. On this point, the two of them were completely the same, and the reasons were exactly the same. If the wounded soldiers could not be raised, they would die early and late, so why should they suffer that crime again?

The rest was to clean the battlefield and interrogate the prisoners. In fact, there was nothing to clean. Not only Hong Tao looked down on the equipment of the Mongolian infantry, but also the Mamluks didn't want it. They couldn't use it. The matter of interrogation was even simpler. After the axe soldiers killed hundreds of people in front of the prisoners, Langya would not have any shirks at all when he asked anyone questions. He said everything.

"There are more than 300 cavalry left in Jinzhou? Shipbuilding is being built there? Okay, hurry up and pack up. Before dark, let's go to Jinzhou to see it. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night." The interrogation result soon came to Hong Tao. After seeing it, he finally showed that long-lost smile, which shows that he has relaxed.

This army of more than 4,000 people is the main force of all the garrisons in Jinzhou and Shizikou. Their camp is more than 20 kilometers away and is more than ten kilometers away from Jinzhou. At present, there is no force in Jinzhou except for hundreds of real Mongolian cavalry. These hundreds of Mongolian cavalry are not garrisons stationed in Jinzhou, but private soldiers sent by Mongolia. This guy, who is said to be the princes of the kings, is supervising the construction of ships in Jinzhou and preparing to cooperate with the army to attack the Goryeo people.
