He didn't need to look at the number of the enemy, the lookout had already understood it, and was informing the ships and the marines on the shore with flags. The cavalry alone is nearly a thousand people, and there are infantry behind, but the distance is too far to see clearly. The enemy's cavalry should enter the dock in a few minutes, Hong Tao did not think that these cavalry would rush in, they would definitely gather first, by the way, see where the other party was and how many people there were, and then decide on the next move.

The terrain here in the port is relatively simple, there is no possibility of large-scale ambush, as long as you reach the main intersection, you can always see the side of the sailor camp. As for these galleons floating on the sea, they probably didn't know them, and they wouldn't have thought that they would be too lethal, and they would never have thought that these ships could fire cannonballs from a distance of thousands of meters, because they hadn't seen them.

In this case, Hong Tao felt that it should be feasible to use the same method used to deal with the Javanese again. Bullying people, it's bullying you haven't seen it, what's the matter! As for what to do next time? Next time is next time, let's settle this time first. Hong Tao also does not think that the cities and ports destroyed by himself can be rebuilt in the short term, even if there is no need to pollute with heavy oil, only burn what can be burned, and blow up those that cannot be burned with explosives, and there will be nothing left. The reconstruction still has to be cleaned up, so it is better to choose another place.

"This is not the Mongol cavalry, it is the surrendered Jin army." What was the Mongol cavalry like? Hong Tao has never seen it, not once. However, there were Kong Pei's colleagues in the fleet, who were also captured together from Dengzhou Port, and they not only knew the Mongolian generals, but also knew the appearance of the Jin army, and soon passed Hong Tao's questions through the flag.

"Then let's shoot three rounds of free fire! Tell the gunner. It's time to go. "Hong Tao heard that it was not a Mongolian cavalry. I can't help but be a little disappointed. I immediately started to make a small calculation in my heart. It is said that the Mongolian iron cavalry is powerful, and they defeated the Jin State again, so it is naturally worth more than the Jin army, and it is necessary to eat two more rounds of shells. If it weren't for them, three rounds of shells would be enough, which was deliberately increased by Hong Tao in his heart. When he was raging on Java Island, it was only one round of shells at most, and the opposite side was defeated. Moreover, these Jin cavalry are indeed not angry, and their efforts to assemble are much slower than those of the Mamluk cavalry. The formation is not so neat either.

"Senhe-sama, the enemy is less than a thousand, and most of them are infantry, I just don't know where they come from and why they are dressed so strangely." Hong Tao was observing the other party, and the other party was also observing him, to be precise, looking at the Mamluk soldiers on the west side of the pier. For these galleons parked on the sea, people only glanced at them a few times, and did not pay attention to them at all. In this era, ships. The basic function of a warship, whether a warship or a cargo ship, is to transport troops and fight each other on the water. I haven't heard of anyone using a ship to fight the army directly.

"Hmph, they are very similar to the heavy armored cavalry of the Great Cannibal, I saw it when I followed the Great Khan on his western expedition, I can't say that it is not powerful, but unfortunately there are too few! You don't have to wait for the people behind you, follow me up and cut them down. The whole team! Tell everyone, shoot the horse first, and stay away from those axes! "Qianhu who led the team is really a genuine Mongolian officer, and he is also a veteran of the western expedition, so he can see the general origin of the Mamluks at a glance, and he also has a countermeasure. This countermeasure cannot be said to be wrong, but it is precisely because he has seen and contacted it, and he is not afraid of the Mamluk cavalry on the opposite side, so he is not even willing to wait for the infantry behind, so he plans to use the thousand-man team in his hand to solve the problem.

People can make mistakes from experience, but animal instincts are accurate most of the time, and they look more closely. When the gun door on the side of the Jinhe suddenly lifted and a large thick pipe drilled out of it, it was not the Mongol officers or the cavalry generals of the Jin State who first sensed the danger, but the war horses under their crotches. The horses suddenly became restless, and kept kicking their hooves to avoid this feeling, but this feeling became more and more intense, and if it were not for the constant shouting and reins of the rider on their backs, these horses would have turned around and ran away.

"Sailors, these wastes, the Great Khan should have cut off their heads a long time ago!" The Mongolian general was no stranger to the emotions of the war horse, and he also found the right thing to make the war horse panic, that is, the ships on the sea that were still showing off their might! However, he just spat at the huge body of the Golden River, and in his opinion, the war horse was just frightened by this strange big guy. But I can't bluff myself, the boat is very big, very powerful, but after all, it is a boat, it can still go ashore and bite people? There's no need to be afraid.

After this mouthful of phlegm spat out, there was a sudden flash of fire in the distance, and the Mongolian general felt that the air flow around his body was screaming, and his body seemed to be much lighter, and he was blown up by this air flow and flew backwards.

“…… Could it be that I have practiced the inner family magic skills! Can you fly with spit? That was the last thought that came to the Mongol general's mind, and then he could no longer think about things with his head. His body was divided into several pieces, the largest of which carried his head, flew more than two meters high, flew out six or seven meters away, and then fell to the ground with a piece of rotten flesh and bones, and it was impossible to tell which piece belonged to him, which piece belonged to someone else, or simply a horse.

The first shot was fired from the No. 1 gun position of the Jinhe, and the 155-caliber solid iron ball was sprayed out of the barrel by several catties of propellant, and at a speed of more than 400 meters per second, at the moment of the flash of fire, it plunged headlong into the cavalry group. The first to bear the brunt was the Mongolian Qianhu Lord, who took the lead, and after shattering his torso, the iron ball continued to fly forward without stopping, hitting and shattering anything along the way, whether it was a man or a horse. It wasn't until the dozen layers of centaurs were penetrated that they flew out and fell to the ground, wrapping the plasma and dust stained on the sphere. More than a dozen human and horse lives also disappeared, and it was really dust to dust......

It's too late, it's too fast, and the firing interval between each cannon is very short. Before the first shell hit the Mongolian thousand households, the second shell was already out of the chamber, and then a flash after a flash, a cloud of smoke after a cloud of smoke, a thunder with a thunderclap. The starboard side of the Golden River was bustling with fire, smoke, and thunder, like a monster from hell.

Affected by the huge recoil, the mountain-like hull of the Golden River was shaking incessantly, rippling layer by layer with the surrounding water. At this time, the sailmen standing on the mast were the hardest, and with each shell fired, a huge shock would be transmitted from the hull to the mast, and their hands and feet would be numb. Experienced sailors will tell newcomers not to hold on to the mast with their hands or to put their feet firmly on the horizon, for they will soon become numb in their hands and feet, and they will no longer be able to hold anything and fall headlong. The safest way to do this is to stand on the rigging and pull the sail ropes to watch the excitement, and the soft and collapsed ropes have a very poor ability to transmit vibrations, so as to ensure their own safety.

When the No. 1 gun position of the Golden River opened fire, at most three to five seconds, the four battleships neatly arranged behind the Golden River also began to shoot. Within twenty seconds, hundreds of solid and hollow iron balls rushed into the dense cavalry ranks. The one that hits a bloody alley and flies out and throws up a slip of dust on the ground is a solid iron ball. Suddenly exploded in the crowd, and dozens of iron chestnuts burst out with a cloud of gray smoke.

Compared with the solid bullets of God blocking and killing God and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha, those hollow things are even more harmful. Not only can they penetrate one or two layers of the human body, but they will also explode again, and no matter what is broken inside or outside the sphere and hits the human body or horse, it is a bloody hole. In fact, the hole with the size of the bowl mouth and the hole with the size of the walnut have the same lethality to the human body in many cases. Beating a person into several pieces is death, and punching a small hole in the stomach of a person still results in death, there is no substantive difference. In terms of the lethality of dense crowds alone, the lethality of flowering bullets is greater, and the visual impact of solid bullets is stronger.

The Mongolian cavalry, which had just been assembled, was lined up in about seventeen or eighteen columns horizontally, and dozens of rows in the longitudinal direction, which happened to block the dirt road and both sides. The 100 shells were not wasted at all, and all of them went into the crowd from the front, like bowling, and swept down and blew down more than half of the unprepared cavalry. At a distance of less than 500 meters, firing guns at fixed targets from moored warships, if they are no longer accurate, these cannons can really be used to cast the Great Song Dynasty money, what else do you need for them?

"Holy! It's so brave, you dare to charge after being like this......" After the first round of shelling, both the Jinhe and the assembly area of the Mongolian cavalry were shrouded in smoke, and Hong Tao couldn't see the effect of the shelling with a telescope. Just as he was waiting for the second round of shelling to begin, dozens of horses suddenly emerged from the smoke and rushed straight towards the dock, very fast. Even though the Jinhe was still more than a hundred meters away from the dock, he was still taken aback, and almost ordered the 80mm shotgun on the deck to prepare to intercept the fire.

"Sir, it's not brave, it's the horse that's scared!" Swann was helpless about Hong Tao's explanation, he was a prophet most of the time, but a few times he was an idiot, such as now.

"Oh yes, I forgot about the horses being frightened...... If you dare to glance at me out of the corner of your eye, I'll let you go to the bilge as a gunner and shock you to death! Seeing that a few and a half of the dozens of war horses rushed directly into the sea, and some rushed to the Mamluk phalanx along the dock, Hong Tao wiped the cold sweat on the tip of his nose, and then remembered to maintain his image, the way is to threaten! Whoever dares to look down on him, he will threaten whomever he wants, not just talking about it, he can really pull down that old face to execute, the crime is to hit the captain with his eyes, a big rebellion, and the start is two buckets of water!
