In that big dream, Guo Ning saw with his own eyes many things that he could not imagine in his life, including weapons. Therefore, after he became entrenched in Shandong, he always paid attention to the research of gunpowder weapons. The Ordnance Administration charged Zhang Shengzhi also a little frustrated.

It's not that Zhang Shengzhi didn't try his best, but that many of Guo Ning's demands exceeded what Ding Haijun could currently bear.For example, hundreds of catties of copper are cast into a tube shape, and gunpowder is used to ignite it to push the stone bullets to fly.But the Ordnance Department tried twice, but it really didn't have such a superb copper casting technology, so in the end they cast the copper into private money and took it to Liaodong for use.

Even what Guo Ning said was the simplest, a small iron cannon that soldiers could carry around and throw an explosion, failed in the end.The power of gunpowder is always limited, and the size of the iron cannon is too small, so it can only be used for children to make noise.When throwing, the flying distance is a bit far, and the fuse used to ignite is easily broken. As for the flint igniting mechanism, the Ordnance Department has tried many times, but all failed.

In the end, what really played a role on the battlefield was still the same old thing: a large amount of gunpowder blasted the city wall, and a small amount of gunpowder defended the city wall.The Ordnance Department has accumulated some experience in the manufacture and maintenance of iron artillery. Since the second half of last year, it has successively equipped a large number of iron artillery in Erfu Erzhenzhou on Shandong East Road to defend the city.

But as long as the prerequisites are fulfilled, the sharp weapon used to defend the city can also become the killer weapon in the field.

Guo Ning went north this time, and brought a batch of iron artillery with the army.When he commanded the soldiers to fight the Mongolian army, he deliberately deployed the chariot formation inside the formation of the Dinghai Navy, and lined up with infantry outside, entangled and fiercely fought with the Mongolian cavalry... At that time, he was ready to use the iron artillery.

This arrangement was not possible because of Guo Ning's clever calculations, but because he and his subordinates were well versed in the tactics of the Mongols.

The Mongols are accustomed to harassing, dragging, and interspersing. When they launched an attack, they were like steel knives cutting fat back and forth, causing the enemy to fall into chaos.Ding Haijun's seemingly slow response was indeed taken advantage of by the Mongolian cavalry.

While Ding Haijun paid a considerable price, the elite of Qi Xuejun seized the few gaps in the army formation and launched a rapid penetration.

It's just that those cavalry who penetrated successfully and broke into the army formation could not penetrate the army formation and perform the next penetration.Halfway there, they will be stopped by serial traffic.

The chariot array is a dead thing. After it is deployed, it cannot move again unless the iron chain is untied. The Mongols can completely bypass it.Therefore, the Mongols' action lag was only a short moment.

But this is enough.

The front team was sluggish, while the rear team was still galloping like the wind; when the two sides touched, they immediately gathered into a group.

What is the difference between the Mongolian cavalry gathered outside the chariot formation and the enemies in Yifu Dengcheng?They are all objects that are most conducive to the iron cannon's power.

The sound of a hundred iron cannons exploding shook the eardrums of Wang Shixian, Qiu Huiluo and others.On the outside of the car formation, the scene of the Mongolian cavalry can only be described as miserable.

This simplest gunpowder weapon exploded in the dense cavalry of the Mongols, and the impact it produced was really terrifying.Many of the Mongols closest to the landing point of the iron artillery were overturned by this violent force, and many rolled down on the spot, bleeding from the corners of their mouths or ears and noses, and could no longer struggle.

Those who were hit by the fragments flying from the iron artillery were even more miserable.When the fragments hit the front door, the head immediately shattered; when the arm was cut off, the arm flew out on the spot; when the belly was cut open, the internal organs poured out.

Even the fiercest cowardly cavalrymen of the Xue army panicked and screamed wildly when faced with such a scene.The horses under their crotch, even though they have experienced the battlefield for a long time, are bolder and calmer than ordinary horses, but where have they heard such a roar?The hearing and sense of smell of horses are much more sensitive than that of humans. After the roar, the pungent smell in the air filled the air, causing these horses to lose control immediately, screaming and jumping wildly.

The formation of vehicles was long, covered by the power of iron artillery, there were also a large number of Mongolian cavalry, and they also began to run away unrestrained.They are the Qixue army, they are the bravest among the Mongols, and they are also the most trusted by Genghis Khan. However, no one can watch the horses overturned, or the faces of their partners are smashed, and continue to calmly continue. fight.

In the process of face-to-face fighting, killing the enemy with swords and arrows, or being killed by the enemy's swords and arrows, is a matter of course.The Changshengtian will bless the warriors who died in battle, let them live in the most fertile grassland forever, enjoy the fattest herds, and the most beautiful women.Therefore, the Mongols are not afraid of death at all, and they can still fight even in the worst environment.

But what would be the result of being killed by such a weird thing?
No one knows!The shamans didn't mention it, not even Tongtian Wu Kuo Kuochu!

The cavalry of the cowardly Xue army began to run around.The minds of many people are completely confused, and they are controlled by fear and panic.

In their queue, the most outstanding Batuers, those Nakers who control the troops on behalf of the nobles, are also running around.Even those Mongolian nobles who were a little behind when they charged, they reined in urgently, trying to find a chance to escape.

Only a very small number of cavalrymen who were not affected by the iron artillery and were extremely alert and bold immediately shouted: "This is thrown by the golden dog behind the chariot formation! Hurry up and shoot them dead, don't let them throw again!" "

There were too few people responding to them, dozens of people pulled out their bows and arrows and threw them into the car formation, which was useless at all.

At this time, outside the Ding Navy's array, several horns sounded suddenly.

It may be that the situation is not good and the situation is not good, and it may be that Genghis Khan at the rear is urging the successor cavalry to immediately step forward to cover.

These horn sounds may seem similar, but in fact they sound different, representing different command levels. The Mongols are used to hearing them when hunting since childhood, and can easily distinguish the differences, and cooperate skillfully according to the horn sounds.

But at this time, the ears of the chaotic cavalry were still buzzing, and their minds were still dizzy.They lose the ability to discern, and then become more confused because of it.Some cavalry began to speed up their horses, intending to bypass the formation of vehicles and continue to intersperse according to the original idea.There are also cavalry who retreat directly, wanting to rush out from the front line that has broken through once.In a blink of an eye, they not only lost the queue, but also lost the order of command. People and horses ran around, criss-crossing.

The first unlucky ones were the Mongols who planned to break through the front line in reverse.

It was less than half a stick of incense before they succeeded in interspersing, but they suddenly changed from fierce killers to fleeing people in a hurry.

Zhang Xin's reaction was quick.The moment everyone was stunned after the iron cannon exploded, he had already issued an order in a stern voice: "The first three rows of soldiers form a team! After the formation is completed, they will be killed by me and don't move anymore! Those in the last two rows will follow me!"

Several generals also responded, and the shouts in the queue continued one after another.

"Don't move in the first three rows! Stop for me! Others turn to line up and follow me!"

"You bastards, I told you to hold on, but the Mongols broke through! I've lost all face! Now keep up, kill a few more for me, and make amends!"

"Stop talking nonsense, the Mongols are in chaos! They're in chaos! Let's go up and kill them!"

A large number of soldiers followed the officers and roared.
