With a few cannons, the Qiang soldiers were driven away, and they could quickly go to Qinzhou to rendezvous!
Fighters are life!
Time is more important than money!
Once the money is gone, you can still make it again, but when time has passed, it is really gone and there is no room for recovery.
Especially on the battlefield, time is an issue that people pay more attention to. If it can be faster, who doesn't want to be faster?
The problem is that good steel should be used on the blade. Everyone knows how satisfying it is to knock down a large area when the red cannon is fired. But the problem is that in the Northern Expedition, they are not fighting at home. In a short period of time, they are not fighting at home.
, they can't produce more artillery.
All the artillery at our disposal are visible to the naked eye. There are as many as there should be, and they are all here.
Thinking of Qinzhou City, Chang'an City, and Luozhou, those places are even more difficult.
How can we not equip all the firepower?
Could this be the gunpowder phobia of the Jin Dynasty?
Lots of gunpowder!
Lots of artillery!
Now, even if the possessions haven’t been spread out yet, I’m already feeling distressed!
ah!
Now if there were tens of thousands of artillery in reserve, plus the support of thousands of artillery red cannons, would Wang Mi still be afraid?
Will you still be stingy?
Will we still make do with hand-held artillery here?
He will not.
He would have used firepower to cover it long ago, leaving Yao Qiang unable to fight back!
ah!
Firepower!
In the final analysis, the fault still lies with it!
Fortunately, Yao Qiang's troops are all country bumpkins who have never seen the world, and no one will deny that their combat effectiveness is also very strong.
However, that was in the era of pure cold weapons without the involvement of firearms. They relied on their colder minds and strong BMWs to make the Jin army unable to parry.
However, with the participation of firearms, even the most rudimentary firearms, the changes to the battlefield will be huge.
Seeing the Jin army approaching, the Qiang people would naturally not fall behind. The best way to stop the enemy army was to take the initiative to attack.
Attack is the best defense. At this time, standing on the shore to defend is waiting for death.
So, those warriors on horseback rushed out first.
With the tall horse's legs, people can overcome the resistance of the water and do not have to wade in the water themselves. The speed of transfer and combat effectiveness are naturally greatly increased.
Watching them choose a place with shallow water and rush towards the Jin army one after another, while the bows and arrows in their hands are also shooting towards the other side non-stop.
This means working hard!
OK!
These are the ones who are not afraid of death!
Seeing the opportunity, Zeng Jing gave an order, and the cannon with the fuse flying towards the Qiang soldiers with sparks flying!
Oh guy!
At this moment, the cannons in the sky exploded one after another!
The smoke is steaming, the smell of gunpowder is pungent, and more importantly, this artifact can actually explode directly on the human body.
And the person who was unfortunately hit by the artillery had almost no chance of survival.
Moreover, unlike swords and arrows, one shot can only hurt one person. As long as this shot of artillery hits a person, a relatively small range of soldiers will be affected.
Although not all of them were fatal injuries, as long as they were small scars or even some kind of disturbance, they were enough to shock the soldiers.
Suddenly, on a section of the Weishui River, people flipped over and water splashed everywhere.
There was a roaring sound everywhere and the banging sound of artillery hitting the target.
"what happened?"
"What's happening here?"
"quick!"
"Keep rushing!"
The charge must be made. The defender on Yao Qiang's side was already stunned. Where had he seen such a battle?
Although they heard that the Jin army seemed to have some unusual weapons in their hands, based on their knowledge, they could not imagine the scene when the firearms were fired in full force.
Therefore, Wang Mi gave them some realistic education.
"Let the artillery team retreat."
"Enter the Fusiliers."
We are all here, of course we want to make the brothers have a good time.
Zeng Jing retreated, and Wei Yongzhi led his soldiers to the front.
Good guy!
It's finally our turn to play!
Brothers can't wait for a long time!
Compared with artillery, the durability of guns is stronger, and of course, correspondingly, its strike range is also smaller.
After all, with the current strength of projectiles, one shot can only kill one person.
Moreover, after Wang Mi's improvement, the artillery can now be fired with bows and arrows. In this case, the artillery's strike range can be regarded as greatly enhanced.
However, such a modification has reduced the striking power of the bow and arrow.
After all, bows and arrows not only rely on sharp arrows to kill enemies, but also the range of their shots.
The results of it?
With the cannon attached, it was so heavy that it naturally couldn't fly far.
As a result, a series of artillery cannons flying out can only attack the enemies on the water, but will not have much effect on the enemies on the other side.
No, soon, this weakness of the artillery was also discovered by the Qiang people.
The battlefield is the best teacher. They quickly woke up from the chaos, regrouped their troops, and launched a new round of attack on the Jin army across the river bank.
"hehe!"
"Follow me and do this!"
After Wei Yongzhi took the top, he immediately launched a new round of attack. Those Qiang soldiers who had just put on their bows and arrows had just gained a little more courage. When they saw the artillery team retreating, they immediately became excited.
Just the opportunity!
Let's just say that these Jin troops don't have three heads and six arms. How can they not be able to retreat or be defeated?
In fact, the Jin army naturally suffered casualties, which is extremely normal. Fighting means fighting for lives, especially in these years.
Even with the help of firearms, personnel consumption is inevitable.
This is the reason why Wang Mi has been reluctant to fight head-on with Yao Qiang or Di Qin. He is not afraid of fighting, but he must be careful in fighting.
Only when you are sufficiently prepared and confident can you send troops, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties. Of course, the biggest goal is to use limited troops on larger-scale and more important battles.
You see, gunpowder and artillery are important, but if you lose the people who can use them on the battlefield, then their existence will have no meaning.
So, when he saw the Qiang soldiers swarming onto the warship, Wang Mi was delighted.
OK!
Just waiting for this moment!
In an era without firearms, the main role of warships was to provide a mobile combat platform for warriors.
Even if there is a ship, it is absolutely impossible to install fixed artillery or sharp weapons such as machine guns.
Therefore, in fact, even with the ship, the offensive weapons relied on are still the traditional ones, and there has not been much change.
As for Wang Mi, he was immediately excited when he saw the Qiang soldiers boarding the boat!
The tide of battle is about to turn!
The Yao Qiang tribe has also been gathering along the Weishui River for a long time. They are well prepared and have abundant warship resources at their disposal.
Wang Mi has long been interested in those double-decker treasure ships. They are really treasures!
Putting it with Yao Qiang is really a waste.
If it were on his side, he could set some fixed points to place the red cannon.
This can be regarded as a ship-borne artillery!
That offensive power is definitely a huge jump.
However, what is going to happen next is probably not what King Langya wants to see. You can get on the ship, but don't jump on those big ships!
Aren’t there still many grasshopper boats and small sampans?
What to keep for?
Don’t know how to use them first?
such a pity!
The Qiang soldiers will not listen to your orders. Those big ships are well equipped and have partitions that can block arrow clusters.
If you were a Qiang soldier, you would also be transferred to the ship.
You can also fight at close range and break through the firepower network of the Jin army. As long as you can get ashore and as long as there are enough people ashore, it is still very possible to wash the beach.
At that time, as long as one or two fulcrums can be established on the other side of the river, it may not be impossible to overwhelm the Jin army.
You must know that the current terrain is conducive to this kind of combat method.
After all, the Beifu soldiers led by Wang Mi here suddenly appeared here, and they did not have accurate information at the beginning about where the Qiang soldiers stationed along the river would appear.
its specific location.
In other words, the men and horses on both sides bumped into each other by mistake. As for the Qiang soldiers, they actually did not want to encounter the Jin army. Moreover, the order from the general Yao Chang was not
Very accurate.
Fighting is definitely necessary, but how to fight, how to fight, and to what extent are still uncertain.
So, going around and around, the Qiang soldiers tentatively patrolled the river bank.
Now that I heard that the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Jin Dynasty had arrived near Mianshui, they suddenly strengthened their troop deployment. Just two days ago, they were just a coastal patrol team with only a few hundred people.
The current military strength has been greatly strengthened, and it is enough to contend with the Beifu soldiers for a period of time, but it is only for a period of time.
In comparison, the Beifu soldiers fighting from south to north are now in a mobile state and their positions are not fixed, so it is easier to mobilize personnel.
It’s simple and easy to get together and disperse sometimes.
In comparison, Yao Qiang's troops are not like that.
They have a real territory and a solid city as a fortress, so their troops operating outside are actually not too many.
Not only is it not too much, it is even very little. It is best to wait for the best to be safe and return to the walled city.
What if we encounter enemy troops?
That's easy too.
If the number of enemy troops is too large and greatly exceeds that of your own side, then you have no choice but to resign yourself to fate. This is fate!
God is here to conquer you, how long can you keep dancing?
If we can still contend for a while, as is the case now, then we can naturally detach a part of our troops to report the news.
Now, the Qiang soldiers have separated a cavalry team of more than ten people, heading towards Qinzhou City, just to report the news.
But Wang Mi didn't care. Even if he let them go, they still couldn't escape the Jin army's encirclement.
You might get intercepted somewhere, this is no joke.
The Jin army under the leadership of King Langya now has more than a little bit of combat initiative, it is quite outstanding.
Many times, there was no need for Wang Mi to give them orders, they would take the initiative to look for the enemy themselves.
That look is not the least bit effective.
His attack was not at all vicious.
As for Wang Mi, of course he was not idle either, he was always staring at those towering treasure ships!
It seems that Yao and his son's inventory is quite rich.
Yes, all these good things should be left to him, so as to save him the effort of building ships and buying horses.
"What a pity, they are all such good things!"
"Your Majesty, why don't you wait and see the situation before burning?"
Zeng Jing knew Wang Mi's thoughts very well. Look at the dying horses lying in the river and the majestic treasure ship. These are all treasures.
Whether it is raising horses or building ships, if you want to achieve such a scale, you have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources.
Such good things are all treasures, but now we can just watch them being destroyed in front of our eyes. This is such a heartbreaking thing!
What a pity!
"No!"
"Pull the red cannon over and fire it on the ship!"
“Give them a little red cannon shock!”
"The general will obey your orders!"
Of course, you have to be the first to do this kind of thing. Do you have anything else in mind?
Zeng Jing had long been impatient with waiting. Under his greeting, the red cannon, which had been hiding for a long time and had been waiting for the first roar, was finally pushed to the river bank.
It is about to begin its first battle!
At this moment, the Qiang soldiers, who had been confused by the musketry and artillery team, had not yet understood what was happening in front of them, but they saw several bigger guys appearing on the winding river bank.
The shape of the weapon was completely new to me, and it looked like a monster.
Many Qiang soldiers who were originally struggling to fight were completely frightened by its majestic momentum when they saw the red cannon.
What kind of monster is this?
Is this the treasure collected by the Jin army?
I have long heard that the combat effectiveness of the Jin army has greatly increased, not only because the quality of the personnel has improved, but also because they have many magical weapons in their hands. At first, everyone did not believe it, but this time they believe it.
What kind of weird stuff are these?
Not to mention having competed with each other, I have never even met him.
Just because they showed off these red cannons, the Jin army successfully sent away another wave of Qiang soldiers.
You can't blame the Jin people for this. Who made them lose focus? Who made them stare at the red cannon?
This is a battlefield, and there is no room for neglect and slackness. Who let them fail to live up to their expectations?
Although Wang Mi only carried five red cannons, which to be honest were not many at all, they still had a powerful deterrent effect in front of the Qiang people who had never seen such weapons.
Wherever the treasure ship is, there are cannons. According to Wang Mi's order, Zeng Jing gathered all the red cannons together. As the gunpowder in the rear medicine chamber was ignited, heat gradually entered the barrels.
The first shot of the red cannon resounded with a roar that resounded throughout the world!
boom!
The huge projectiles, mixed with crackling sparks, headed straight for the Qiang soldiers' treasure ship!
