There is no mercy on the battlefield. The Hexi Army has always been decisive in killing and will never allow prisoners to appear during battles. It will only accept prisoners and surrendered people after the war.
This is the rule Ye An set for the Hexi Army. He had suffered such losses in his previous life.
Hexi must give others the impression of being brave and good at fighting, and even must create a scene of complete victory in every battle, so as to frighten the prying eyes around him.
The Eight-thorn Sagon is an opportunity for Hexi to show its powerful military power to Central Asia. It will not only scare the Black Khans, but also allow the surrounding empires such as the Abbasid Dynasty, the Seljuq Empire, and the Khwarezm to absorb
arouse their ambitions.
In the face of firearms, ordinary cavalry and infantry were almost powerless to fight back. The threat posed by the salvo of muskets alone made the Black Khan soldiers who came out of the city to fight panic.
Now Hexi's new muskets can reach a rate of fire of ten rounds per minute, and some experienced soldiers can even reach fifteen rounds per minute with a certain degree of accuracy.
The fixed charge of the paper shell is paired with the grooved lead Mini bullet, which is amazingly powerful. In order to increase the lethality, some soldiers even divide the lead bullet into two types. One type has cross scratches carved on the top with a knife to increase the lethality.
Lethality, the other is to do nothing and maintain shooting accuracy.
When facing the firearms of the Hexi Army, the Black Khan soldiers were horrified to find that the shields in their hands that could block arrows could not block a small projectile. In many cases, the projectile would penetrate the shield and the armor on the body, even if
This blow was not fatal, but what happened next was hard to say. Continuous bleeding could also take away a person's life!
If black powder was still used as the traditional fixed charge, the Hexi Army's military formation would be even more spectacular. However, now they use smokeless gunpowder such as guncotton. Although it is not stable, the Hexi Firearms Department has long used ammunition.
, the equipment method of drug separation will not cause too much casualties and losses even if a guncotton explosion occurs.
Smokeless gunpowder is more powerful, and there is almost no smoke from the combustion explosion, which makes the military formation clearly visible, and it is a nightmare for the enemy.
The muskets fired volleys at a very fast speed, with one row squatting, another row standing, and the last row loading. The three rows alternately fired at an astonishing speed, which greatly increased the loading speed of the muskets and maximized their power.
More importantly, Hexi soldiers are well-trained, with neat formations and unified movements.
This has become a rule engraved in their bones. From daily marches to daily life, everything in the army is carried out according to the rules. Even veterans have to perform drills every now and then to train the coordination and integrity of the soldiers.
Nowadays, the advent of the gunpowder age has made Hexi soldiers almost able to obey orders and prohibitions. This is the magic weapon for victory on the battlefield.
During the attack, Ye An's improved three-by-three system came into play. The long line immediately began to deform before and after the Black Khan soldiers rushed to the formation. They fought in groups of three. The jumping swingers and platoons in the army
The soldiers have already begun to cover the musketeers in the battle.
The platoon soldiers holding spears in one hand and shields in the other are mainly engaged in defense. The swingers hold sharp swords in their hands to chop down any approaching enemies. As for the musketeers, under the cover of these two people, they can kill calmly and accurately.
In close combat, when a triangular bayonet is equipped on a musket for stabbing and fighting, its lethality cannot be underestimated.
How have the Black Khans ever seen this before? After braving the Hexi Army's hail of bullets and heavy losses, they found that the opponent was also extremely powerful in close combat. Even if the Black Khans had the numerical advantage, every Black Khan soldier could always feel that they were in a close fight.
When facing three or more enemies.
Suleiman personally climbed onto the city wall, and the queen's Raya followed him. Who could have imagined that the powerful Black Khan Dynasty would soon face a life-or-death battle.
The entire Hexi Army is like a huge war machine. The front army advances, the middle army maintains stable command, and the rear army prepares for attacks, and continuously uses artillery to cover fire and bombard the city walls.
Basishagun is the capital of the Black Khan. The city wall is stronger and thicker than that of Barsi Khan. It is similar to the construction method of the Han Dynasty. The inside is made of rammed earth and the outside is wrapped with bricks and stones. Even the artillery in Hexi is difficult to destroy in a short time.
, we can only rely on time to continuously bombard a section of the wall.
Of course, the city gate is always the most vulnerable part of the city wall, and the city wall of Bacishagun does not yet have an urn structure. This gives the Hexi Army an opportunity. The advance team to break the city has already set off, and they still use the method of earthworks and explosives.
.
The Black Khan infantry outside the city had been repelled, but Suleiman on the city wall issued an order to close the city gate when the infantry had not completely withdrawn into the city. These soldiers were as if they were abandoned on the battlefield, except
There was no way out except being killed by the Hexi Army.
It was almost impossible to stop the Hexi Army with these remnants. In just half an hour, these remnants were taken care of by the Hexi Army, and several heavy box trucks were also driven out of the military formation.
The boxcar was covered with cold-forged iron sheets and was pulled forward by two horses wearing vests. The car contained incredibly powerful explosives. This was not primitive and simple black powder, but pure explosives.
This is no longer a thermal weapon that can be compared with the original black powder. In many cases, the Hexi Firearms Department had no way to test its power. It only conducted a test to record the nature of the test under the instruction of Ye An, and those who knew the test results
There are no more than one hand in Hexi.
But this time, Ye An brought this new type of explosives. The most important task of the Wang Gang along the way was to ensure the safety of these explosives. Now it seems that the bumpy long distance and hot weather have not affected the stability of the explosives.
The iron carriages quickly arrived at the foot of the Eight-thorned Sagon City. Countless arrows along the way were unable to penetrate these carriages. Even if they were stabbed like a hedgehog, they could not penetrate the last layer of iron armor inside.
The same is true for the soldiers driving the cart. Some of the arrows penetrated the infantry armor and even penetrated the small armor inside but did not cause fatal injuries. This was enough for the soldiers driving the cart to be called heroes and set a good example for themselves.
First class merit.
Dozens of explosive packets were placed in the tunnel dug under the city gate. The Wang Gang was the first to get into the vacant carriage, and the soldiers behind did the same. Before leaving, the last soldier threw it out of the rear window of the carriage.
There were several gunpowder bombs. These gunpowder bombs did not explode immediately. Instead, they shattered and leaked out brown liquid after falling to the ground. They were then ignited and burned into a line of fire.
