Chapter 450: Whistling

Ten cavalry rockets composed of paper shells, lead pellets, gunpowder, iron heads, and wooden poles, which were extremely rudimentary materials for the Ming Dynasty, instantly crossed the head of the warrior of the forest and the space of nearly two hundred paces, and landed accurately on the head of the rebel.

It's a pity that Zhu Xiaoen couldn't watch it in person, and he may have been thinking about this picture for a long time.

King Alan's intentions were extremely clear, and as early as the victory of Chang Sheng, the most outstanding officer corps of the Eastern Military Government made a strategic plan for him, with the help of the power of the Restoration Army to collect the surrounding counties as quickly as possible...... In order not to increase their strength, in the eyes of the proud generals of the Oriental Military Government, the strength of the Elan lords is very small to Zhu Xiaoen, who controls the Restoration Army.

The greatest purpose was to expand production, so that he could afford the military salaries and baggage expenses of the Restoration Army, and save a sum of money by means of taxation to purchase supplies and hire a moderate amount of merchants from the Ming merchants who followed them.

This allowed him to have countless iron pots made by the Ming Dynasty Guangzhou Mansion to reward his subordinates.

Don't underestimate the iron pot, in the early years of tributary trade, the most representative commodity between the two countries tomorrow is the Daming iron pot and the Japanese sword, the exchange rate between them is one to thirty, a Cantonese iron pot for thirty Japanese knives.

The princes of all walks of life in Japan could not find a single daimyo who could do it.

This phenomenon is not limited to Japan, Mongolia, which has degenerated into a nomadic single production structure in the north, has gone south to plunder the favorite iron pot for a hundred years. Because there is a place to buy iron pots, no one on the grassland can make a mouthful.

Japan, Korea, Annam, and Ryukyu are slightly less so, and their cultural exchanges with the Central Plains are basically in the Tang Dynasty, and they have learned some techniques, and even the dietary structure and meals can find the shadow of the Tang Dynasty, so why, they rarely stir-fry vegetables, and more baked food?

Because of the outbreak of productivity in the Song Dynasty, there was a surplus of iron and a surplus of oil, so it was just a matter of time when the northerners liked to fry and eat with sesame oil, regardless of what it was, and fried it directly in oil.

In China, churros are a symbol of overproductivity.

The last independent Ireland has nothing to do with the development of the productive forces in Europe today, and if everything goes well, it will have nothing to do with the next explosion of productive forces, until people elsewhere eat ice cream, a simple and crude mixture of cream and sugar, and they will starve to death from potato disease.

The iron pot of Guangzhou Mansion is not only an iron pot in the strategy of the Oriental Military Government, but also a symbol of the emperor's power and the unparalleled productivity of the Ming Dynasty.

But earlier than the iron pot was the cavalry rocket that made loud noises, burst violent lights, and produced large amounts of white smoke, blasting small, even stone balls everywhere in the process.

Before they went to sea, they were in short supply at Changsheng Iron, and a large part of the rockets used by the cavalry were filled with pellets made of cement and rag fibers.

The disadvantage of this was that the projectile lacked lethality to the enemy wearing armor, and the shape of the rocket needed to be larger, but the Toyo military government did not consider this a disadvantage, because they did not lack gunpowder.

The advantage of this combination is that the flag army of the expedition can use the rocket carried with them as a spare gunpowder at any time, as long as the cement pellet is discarded and discarded, the gunpowder inside can be used as the gunpowder and primer required for bird guns and artillery at any time after rematching.

Ying Ming did not show the strength of the Ming army, so that Rusen and other native soldiers were more loyal and easy to command.

But the truth was contrary to his thoughts, when the rocket exploded in the enemy line, not to mention the enemy who was about to engage them, even the native soldiers of Rumoribe were almost frightened by this turn of events and fled.

There is no shortage of those who rush halfway and drop the shuttle dart and kneel to kowtow...... Human beings have different languages and different cultures, but most of the actions are the same when it comes to physical expression.

As for the enemy, although ten rockets exploded among them with the same force as their charge, the overwhelming screams spread to the air, and from time to time people ran out of the smoke that had not dispersed, covered in blood.

Although the ordnance guide says that this kind of rocket has the possibility of exploding in the air, in fact, the proportion of ammunition verified by experiments shows that the rocket will mostly fall to the ground due to gravity before reaching its maximum range, and the four-shot projectile is extremely rough to the person who is hit.

This is a vicious weapon.

Being hit by one projectile often means that several projectiles have been hit, and they can hit any part of the person's body, with the greatest chance of being the legs, feet, and lower abdomen.

That is precisely the part of the world's military that lacks defense, and those who are shot rarely have the possibility of direct death.

The Ming cavalry, who were galloping towards the center on the left and right sides of the battlefield, stuffed the bazookas back into the horse's hip sac and drew their sabers.

They could see clearly that the battle was much easier than they had imagined.

Ten rockets flying all over the enemy line seemed to injure hundreds of people, most of them were only frightened by the smoke of gunpowder that they had never seen before, but the action of lying on the ground and wailing could not deceive people, and their cries could spread fear on the battlefield to the greatest extent.

Not many of the other enemy troops who were lucky enough to escape the rocket dared to continue the charge, and the next thing was a one-sided pursuit of the north.

Not all the fighters fled at the first time, but the rockets caused their already chaotic formation to collapse directly, some people were frightened by the large number of casualties caused by the explosion instantly, more people were frightened by the fear and the movement of the iron cavalry to drop their weapons and flee backwards, and more people wanted to continue to move forward, but they collided with their own people.

In the afterglow of the human wall, the fierce warriors and the stomping cavalry on the opposite side were already approaching in front of him.

The funniest thing is that those light cavalry with the appearance of nobles, the speed of the collapse of the fighting spirit is even faster than that of ordinary soldiers.

There is a reason why people appear on the battlefield, not to mention defending the country, the Europeans did not have a concept of nation and state in this era.

The nobleman who has more wealth and dignity than ordinary people appears on the battlefield, most likely not because he is braver, but because the expensive armor can protect him from dying under the clubs and dung forks of serfs.

When rockets explode between them?

Regardless of whether they will actually be killed, this battle is no longer fought.

The smart man fled at the first time, and the stupid man reacted a little slower, and when he reacted, the Beiyang cavalry wearing cavalry horsetail helmets, cuirass and iron arm bindings, and red cotton iron armor on his legs had rushed to the Scottish mercenaries before they stomped on.

They carried long-handled swords and spears, some of them turned their horses and threw them into the crowd with their birds, and some of them carried sabers and grabbed the reins so quickly that they had never suffered a direct blow from cavalry to the necks of overwhelmed warriors.

No matter what weapon they use, if the enemy they want to pursue escapes the range of the cold weapon, and the horses in the dragon cotton armor can't catch up with the target, the gang will draw the flintlock handcuffs from the horses, which are already ready to fire.

The battle stunned Rusen, and when they roared and charged into the middle of the battlefield, they found that the only thing left for them was to tie up the captives.
