In the history of cold weapons, heavy cavalry has always been a big killer.

They are invincible in armor and are able to trample all enemies in their way.

Of course, the price is also very high.

Even the Han Dynasty can't raise much.

The use of heavy cavalry is to charge head-on, tear through the opponent's formation, and fight head-on, and no class is the opponent of heavy cavalry.

At least in Ju Yi's cognition, it is impossible to defeat the heavy cavalry head-on.

Hearing that the Yunzhou army had defeated the heavy cavalry head-on, Ju Yi's first thought was disbelief.

Defeating the Heavy Cavalry requires the cooperation of multiple armies.

But most of them break through on the side, and a frontal breakthrough is simply impossible.

It's like a person wrestling with an elephant head-on.

Man simply can't win.

Seeing Ju Yi's expression, Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Let's go to the shooting range." ”

The shooting range is a place for artillery training, and since artillery is a secret of Yunzhou, this shooting range is also heavily protected.

The group quickly entered the shooting range, where the artillery units of Yunzhou were stationed.

Seeing that Guo Jia had brought someone over, Zhao Dazhui immediately ran over.

"Lord, Lord Thorn, why are you here?"

This guy won a big victory in Jizhou, and tens of thousands of sailors fought by 500 people fell into disappointment, which is enough for this guy to brag about for a lifetime.

During this time, Zhao Dazhui was naturally blowing a lot.

Over the years, the size of the artillery has grown a lot. Nowadays there are more than 1,000 people, and even an artillery academy has been established.

There were also hundreds of artillery wagons of various types, and thousands of auxiliary mules and horses.

Hehe!

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Come and see your training, what's the matter, you're not welcome?" ”

Welcome, welcome!

Zhao Dazhui immediately smiled.

"The lord can come, and our artillery is shining. The lord is an immortal and descends to earth, and we can also follow the immortal spirit when we come here. ”

No more nonsense!

Guo Jia waved his hand: "Start training!" ”

Promise!

Zhao Dazhui immediately responded and trotted to the field.

"Assemble!"

The herald blew the horn.

In a while, a thousand artillery pieces were assembled.

Zhao Dazhui said loudly: "Brothers of artillery, the lord is here today, I want to see our training, we must not embarrass the lord." Start training now! ”

Promise!

The artillerymen roared in unison, rushed into the barracks, and slowly dragged the gun wagons out.

After these years of development, Yunzhou's artillery trucks have also become rich.

There are heavy artillery carriages that can hit hundreds of paces, there are light gun carriages that can hit one or two hundred paces, and there are bronze artillery pieces within a hundred paces.

Three types of artillery basically covered a distance of five hundred paces.

There's also a swarm of rocket vans.

This is for emergency purposes.

Hundreds of feathered arrows filled the firebox, using gunpowder as a medium, and once ignited, they rushed forward.

Although the shooting accuracy is very poor, it covers a wide area and has a concentrated striking area, which is a sharp weapon for artillery to defend itself in close quarters.

Guo Jia came to inspect for a while, and Zhao Dazhui naturally wanted to perform well, so he pulled out all the belongings of the artillerymen.

Ten bronze guns, five heavy gun carriages, thirty light gun carriages and ten boxes of swarms.

More than 200 artillery men were on standby.

Is this the artillery of Yunzhou?

Ju Yi looked at these strange things and was a little stunned.

He had also heard that there had always been a strange class of troops in Yunzhou called artillery, which could use some strange weapons.

Could it be that these artillery men defeated the heavy cavalry?

Thinking of this, Ju Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes, wanting to take a closer look at what was so strange about this artillery.

Lord!

Zhao Dazhui trotted in front of Guo Jia.

"The artillery is ready, please instruct!"

To train artillery, Guo Jia adopted a modern charter, so the composition of the artillery was also a little different from that of the ordinary Yunzhou army.

Start training!

Guo Jia ordered.

Be!

Zhao Dazhui ran to the command platform with the command flag.

Everyone was brought to a safe distance.

"Target, five hundred steps ahead!"

Zhao Da Hammer waved the red flag five times in his hand.

The last artillery arrived to complete the commissioning of the heavy gun truck.

The heavy artillery carriage was converted from the largest stone throwing truck, which was towed by mules and horses when fired, and the shells were cluster crockpots with a range of 500 paces.

"Launch!"

With a wave of the green flag in Zhao's sledgehammer, one artilleryman lit the fuse, and the other waved his hand to cut the rope.

Whoosh!

Five heavy artillery trucks fired shells at once.

Boom, boom, boom.

The ground almost trembled a few times, and a large amount of smoke came out.

"Second incendiary bomb!"

Zhao Dazhui hurriedly waved the red flag, and the artillery in the back row began to prepare for firing in an orderly manner.

Whoosh!

The second round was fired with incendiary bombs.

The incendiary bomb exploded in mid-air, enveloping the flames in a radius.

This......

Seeing this wave of attacks, Ju Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

Is there such a weapon in the world?

You can destroy a large number of enemies from 500 steps away.

It's a pity that the frequency of the gun carriage is a little slow, and the attack range is fixed, if the opponent is a cavalry, the cavalry can break through the attack range of the gun carriage with two or three rounds of time here.

At this time, Zhao Dazhui waved the red flag again.

"Target, three hundred to one hundred steps, light artillery carriage ready!"

The artillerymen in the middle had light artillery trucks ready.

This light artillery truck has an attack range of between 100 and 300 paces, and the reload is also less than that of heavy shells, and it can only hold one crockpot at a time, but fortunately, it is large in number and has a large attack range.

Launch!

Zhao sledgehammer waved the green flag, and dozens of shells were fired.

Boom boom!

This wave of artillery shells included crockpot bombs and incendiary bombs, which were very mixed, and although the damage caused by a single one was not large, it was still spectacular for more than 30 vehicles to be fired at the same time.

In addition, light artillery trucks attack very frequently.

In the time that the cavalry advanced two hundred paces, five to ten shells could be fired.

It's amazing!

Ju Yi was a little dumbfounded.

If the battlefield meets, the cavalry begins to be attacked from a distance of five hundred paces, and between three hundred and one hundred paces, the attack is the most intense.

If you don't fight back just after being beaten, I'm afraid you will be very aggrieved.

But......

Ju Yi's gaze fell on the last hundred steps.

If the cavalry can withstand the artillery fire and rush into the last hundred paces, even if there are only a few men and horses, the artillery must be the last to die.

Cavalry kills infantry, that's called slaughter.

Aim for 100 steps!

Zhao Dazhui waved the red flag again.

The artillery of the front platoon immediately began to prepare for an artillery attack.

In fact, at the beginning, Ju Yi noticed that there were one cylinder after another erected in front of the artillery, which was carried by wheels below.

Loops of straw ropes were wrapped around it, and rows and rows of wooden boxes were placed behind them, and in the boxes lay copper pillars one after another.

It's a little different from a normal gun carriage.
