Chapter 178 The two armies are at war!General Wei Qing's Mistake

A wooden stick with an iron lump tied on it, as long as the fuse is ignited and thrown, it can cause lethality to the enemy.

Such a hot weapon!

Shouldn't it be easier to produce than that?
After Huo Guang inspected it for a while, he couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, you need to use fire to ignite the fuse first, and you can't directly pull the fire, it's a bit troublesome!"

In this era, people made fire and cooked by relying on concave gold tin mirrors or wood flakes to make fire.

The way that the grenade can be ignited by pulling the fuse, I'm afraid I think too much.

Huo Guang didn't expect them to do it.

If you have time in the future, you can study it yourself.

But that's another story.

Huo Guang put the grenade back into the box, and then asked the leader of the infantry, "Is that all?"

The infantry commander smiled foolishly, and replied: "Lieutenant Huo, there are ten bigger things behind them, all made of iron. I don't know what they are called cannons."

"Because it's too heavy, it's not convenient to transport."

"It may take another two days before those things can be delivered."

Hearing what the infantry commander said, Huo Guang smiled slightly. He knew he was talking about Feilei Cannon, so he replied, "Thanks for your hard work."

"Not hard, not hard."

The infantry commander quickly shook his head, and after handing over the things to Huo Guang's cavalry, he went back to continue to deliver supplies.

For the Han Dynasty.

No matter how crude a thermal weapon is, it's still a novelty.

Huo Guang weighed the quantity in his hand, and decided to delegate it to the school of cavalry under his supervision.

no way.

Soldiers of the Han Dynasty would definitely not use new weapons.

Huo Guang had to teach his school of cavalry first, and then he could promote it to the whole army.

After making a decision in my heart.

Huo Guang then called Yan Xiao and Lin Yaoqing, and said, "Call you two over here, I want to teach you how to use the new weapon!"

"promise."

Yan Xiao and Lin Yaoqing then went to call their hussars over.

After waiting for everyone to arrive.

Huo Guang distributed all the grenades brought in.

Thinking about Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty bringing this batch of weapons, he only notified himself, and the general who did not know the meeting should also be concerned that the soldiers would not use them!
after all.

The general will not use this type of new weapon.

After the distribution goes down.

Huo Guang then said: "Now, let me introduce you to a new type of weapon. Before I introduce it, I would like to tell you that the lead wire on this weapon should not be pulled randomly."

"These things are only sent to you temporarily, and they will be recycled later."

"In order to prevent the sudden start of the war, the captain of the school is afraid that you will not use it at that time, so he decided to teach you first."

"Look!"

"Just put this weapon on a torch and ignite the fuse, and then throw it towards a place where the enemy is densely populated, and it can cause damage. It's very simple."

Done.

Huo Guang made a demonstration by lighting the fuse with fire.

I only heard the rustling sound of the lead wire burning.

Huo Guang threw it directly towards the empty space, and soon, he heard an explosion.

Although the grenade is simple and rough in production, it uses enough gunpowder and its shrapnel is made of iron, so its power is still good.

It is even much more powerful than the hand grenades made in the border areas in the hard times of later generations.

The explosion of the grenade was loud!
Although it's not like thunder crashing, its sound is enough to frighten the horses.

a time.

The cavalry in the marching team hurriedly appease their horses.

At this time, Huo Guang said to his subordinates: "This is how we use new weapons when we throw them out."

"Let's talk about how to defend this weapon. For example, this weapon was robbed by the Huns and then used by them against us."

"Although the chances of that happening are small."

"But it doesn't mean there isn't one!"

"At this time, if they throw weapons at us, first of all, we must find stones, tree trunks and other hard obstacles to hide behind."

"If it's an open space."

"Then lie down as fast as you can, just like me."

The words fall.

Huo Guang also demonstrated a prone position.

at this time.

Although these cavalrymen have seen the power of grenade explosions, they obviously don't have a full understanding of their lethality.

after all.

It's not a cannonball!
There is no such visually frightening explosive power.

Because the grenade relies entirely on the lethality of shrapnel, it has never been used in actual combat by the Han army.So for the ancients 2000 years ago, it is naturally difficult to understand the terrible lethality.

There are even some cavalry who are eager to try and want to throw a grenade for themselves.

However, after being reprimanded by Lieutenant Lin Yaoqing.

No one would dare to do this again.

After the soldiers had almost played with the grenade, Huo Guang gave an order, saying: "Uncle Yan Du, go and lead someone to take back this new weapon grenade."

"promise."

After Yan Xiao responded, he took all the weapons back with his men.

this weapon.

Soldiers can't be allowed to carry it with them. If they don't get it right, they will all be duds by then.

after all.

His grenade is crudely made and not waterproof.

And during the recovery of grenades.

General Wei Qing arrived suddenly with a team of troops.As the captain, Huo Guang could only greet him first.

now.

Wei Qing glanced at the hussars led by Huo Guang, and asked: "What happened just now, why did you make such a big commotion, and you all said that Captain Huo made it?"

Huo Guang immediately replied: "I tell the general that a batch of new weapons has arrived from the imperial court in a hurry."

"Look."

"These are the weapons made from the gunpowder recipe that your subordinates presented to His Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he asked someone to put the recovered box of grenades in front of the general.

The general frowned slightly, and said: "Is this the one, those craftsmen have already made it? Well, why don't you see the flying thunder cannon?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once left the general Wei Qing with the craftsmen who forged the Feilei Cannon, so he was no stranger to this new weapon.

But because the general is eager to come back to control the situation in the South Camp!
After the finished product came out, Wei Qing had already left the place where the blacksmiths gathered. Naturally, he had never seen its explosive power, so he didn't know how powerful it was.

and so.

I didn't pay too much attention to this new weapon.

When Huo Guang heard his uncle's question, he replied: "The Feilei cannon is a bit heavy, even if it is sent urgently, it will take some time."

"Besides."

"We have been marching on the road, and the distance from Chang'an is getting farther and farther away. The cost of transporting supplies, food and grass for the infantry and civilians is also increasing."

"Naturally pick the lighter ones first."

After hearing the words.

Wei Qing got off his horse and began to examine these new weapons.

Subsequently.

He casually asked, "Why don't I know about these things brought from Chang'an?"

Huo Guang immediately replied: "General, don't get me wrong, it's just these new weapons."

"It may be the production method I offered to His Majesty."

"That's why when His Majesty arranged for someone to deliver it, he specifically explained it and handed it over to me."

Wei Qing nodded immediately when he heard the words. After all, it wasn't a big deal, so he didn't take it to heart, and said, "Okay, then go ahead and don't delay the march."

"No." Huo Guang clapped his hands back.

Then the general left with his team of troops.

Huo Guang did not continue to teach his subordinates how to use grenades, but let them pick up a stick and try to throw a grenade.

This grenade was one of the first to come out.

It is a scarce material, how could Huo Guang let his soldiers directly hold it for practice.

later time.

Huo Guang continued to march while teaching his subordinates the precautions about grenades.The army continued to march towards Mobei while slowing down the marching speed.

Along the way, the temperature gradually dropped, much colder than that of the Central Plains.

The Xiongnu Da Shanyu Yizhixie was also ruthless enough.

With so many Hun cavalry, I don't know where to hide.

in fact.

If they had not gone south to plunder the Han people, the imperial court would not have gone to war against them.

The so-called what kind of cause, what kind of fruit.

You can't tell.

You Xiongnu looted the Han people and invaded the border, so the Han people have to swallow their anger, right?
Definitely have to call back!
In this way, another few days passed.

The Southern Day Camp army led by Wei Qing has penetrated deep into the land of Mobei. There is no vegetation here, and everything is silent, as if the spring has not yet thawed.

even.

When the weather changes, you can occasionally see snow falling.

In just a few days.

The ten flying thunder cannons transported from the direction of Chang'an, hurriedly rushed, and finally sent to the Nandaying army.

It is said that.

In order not to delay the delivery along the way, I don’t know how many horses pulling the goods were exhausted!

of course.

There is no doubt that these horses responsible for pulling goods are selected from war horses.Therefore, for the Han army, the attention was not so high, and if they died, they died.

The civilian husbands and infantry soldiers who were responsible for transporting supplies along the way did not know how exhausted they were.

Not to mention a few horses carrying goods!

After the Flying Thunder Cannon arrived.

Huo Guang's first thought was naturally to teach his cavalry how to use the thunder cannon.

But unfortunately.

There is no time for him to let his hussars learn slowly.

The horse scouts reported that a large number of suspicious figures appeared in front of them, suspected to be the cavalry army of the Huns.

in fact.

They have all reached the depths of Mobei, and the word "doubt" is not used accurately.

Under such extreme conditions, there are still a large number of people migrating here, aren't they the Huns who fled after being frightened by the Han army?
At this moment, they are not going to continue running to a more deserted place.

Because their strategic deployment has been achieved.

First, they crossed the desert, where they waited for work at ease, and when the Han army came over, they were still exhausted from marching, so they could take the opportunity to directly kill the army.

Taking advantage of the exhaustion of the Han army, they can be caught off guard.

After the general Wei Qing learned of the news of the Huns' cavalry, he immediately ordered: "Listen to my order, mobilize Wugang chariots to surround the surrounding area, and use this as a camp."

"After that, the cavalry and archery cavalry were dispatched to deal with the Huns cavalry."

"When the battle is in full swing, send [-] cavalry cavalry to outflank them, cut off the Huns' retreat, and drive them into a trapped formation!"

After the general's voice fell, all the generals took action one after another, and began to mobilize their respective subordinates according to the order issued by the general.

First of all.

Wu Gang's car mobilized and began to set up camp in situ, enclosing a camp in the style of a village.

This Wugang chariot was originally a combat tool for infantry.

The body is covered with cowhide and rhinoceros armor, a spear is tied, and a strong shield stands on it.When fighting, as long as a few Wugang vehicles are linked together, they can become a strong fortress.

have this effect.

That's why the general ordered Wugang vehicles to circle the surrounding area and temporarily set up a camp.

However, the use of Wugang chariots by cavalry is a drag on their own mobility.

The problem is that the Han army has long been accustomed to infantry warfare. If there is no Wugang chariot, half of the generals of the Han Dynasty may not know how to fight.

after all.

Not everyone has the ability of General Huo Qubing to come and go freely.

After the location of Wu Gang's car was arranged, the temporary camp was set up.

at this time.

Outside, the first round of battle between the Han army and the Huns cavalry had already begun. Arrows rained down among the cavalry and cavalry, and people were killed by arrows from time to time.

In the past, the Han and Hungarians were at war.

Because the Han army was dominated by infantry, in most cases the Han army infantry chased, and the Huns cavalry shot arrows while retreating, causing heavy casualties to the Han army.

But this time the Han army was different.

It is not that the main force has been replaced by cavalry, but that all combat arms have been replaced by cavalry.

In the first round of combat between the two sides, the cavalry of the two sides rushed together directly, and the cavalry and archery cavalry became horse infantry and began to fight with short weapons.Since none of them were cavalry cavalry wearing long weapons, the ring-shoulders of the Han army immediately gained the upper hand.

Because the ring head knife is very long.

In addition, it was originally a weapon made to deal with the Huns!
Compared with Tang Dao!

The power is more than that.

Why do you say that?

Because the Tang Dao was developed from the Huan Shou Dao of the Han Dynasty, but its development direction is based on aesthetics, and its shape is more beautiful.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was economically prosperous.

It is not surprising that Tang Dao will develop towards beauty.

The Han Dynasty has been fighting with the Huns. In terms of the workmanship of the ring head knife, it will always only serve two words-kill the enemy!
Develop the ring head knife towards beauty?

Just look at the speed of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and your nine clans.

After the first round of fighting.

The Xiongnu cavalry suffered a big loss and began to withdraw their troops, while the Han army took advantage of the victory to pursue.But at this time, the two sides are only in the first wave of tentative confrontation, and the small army is fighting, and they have not yet fully matched.

At this time, the Xiongnu cavalry saw that the front was retreating, so they hurriedly sent additional troops to stand up.

tactically.

This kind of behavior is called refueling tactics, and it is a taboo for military strategists.

General Wei Qing was familiar with the art of war, so naturally he would not make such mistakes, so he ordered the first round of cavalry and archers to return to the frontline battlefield where they were originally deployed.

Wait for the enemy to attack, and it will not be too late to fight again.

So, when the Huns cavalry came back, it was already the second wave of fighting.

On the Han side, [-] cavalry were still dispatched, while the Xiongnu cavalry had been added to [-] cavalry.The two sides fought until dusk, the sky and the earth were dark, until the strong wind rose, the gravel protruded from the surface, and the two armies did not meet head to tail.

Seeing this, General Wei Qing immediately ordered: "Hurry up, pass my order, dispatch all the cavalry cavalry to outflank the Hun cavalry from the left and right sides, and encircle the formation!"

"promise!"

The messenger took the order and immediately went to convey the general's order.

However this time.

After exploring the horse, he reported: "General, it's not good. Suddenly, a large number of Hun cavalry appeared on the left and right flanks of our army, and they have already attacked the main force of our army!"

This message comes from .

The generals turned pale with fright, but they did not expect that the Huns would carry out outflanking tactics earlier.

This was the first time that General Wei Qing had seen this during his combat career against the Huns.

At this time.

General Cheng Bushi immediately clapped his hands and scolded: "It must be Xin Zhao who defected from the sect, otherwise, with the little IQ of the Huns, how could we know the tactics of our Han army!"
