Looking at the black iron bullets and rockets with cartridges that were pulled out of the car in front of him, Gao Huaiyuan felt a little dizzy. He had more than 800 years of knowledge about this kind of thing. He didn't expect that in

During this era, he really saw this primitive gunpowder weapon.

These iron bullets are hollow iron balls made of pig iron. They are made by putting two halves of the iron balls together. There is a hole in the iron ball, a wooden plug is inserted into it, and a lead is inserted in it. It looks very strange.

It is crude, more like a large thunderbolt, but it is undeniable that this thing already has considerable explosive power, and can be said to be the most advanced weapon in the Song Dynasty.

And those rockets have obviously broken away from the role of relying solely on gunpowder to start a fire. Instead, they have the function of pure rockets that use the propulsion force of gunpowder. They can make the arrows fly farther when propelled by gunpowder. Not only can they kill the enemy, but they can also

It can play a certain role in igniting fire.

One day after leaving the Xiangyang camp, the supply camp set up camp at night. Gao Huaiyuan couldn't wait to find these things, played with them in his hands, and searched hard for memories in his mind, recalling the knowledge about gunpowder.

The invention of gunpowder in Chinese history should be in the Tang Dynasty, and it was already used in military applications at the end of the Tang Dynasty. However, when using gunpowder, they basically focused on its arson and flammability properties and did not pay much attention to its explosiveness. However, in the Song Dynasty, because

The national system is relatively loose, and the development of folk science and technology shows a violent development. If it were not for the rise of the Mongols that destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would probably have entered the capitalist society for the first time in history. The economy of the Song Dynasty can be said to be

It was the most glorious era in Chinese history. If it were not for the weak military power caused by the Song Dynasty's emphasis on civility over military affairs and the system of suppressing civility and military power, and the fact that the emperors after the Southern Song Dynasty were relatively mediocre, the technological productivity of the Song Dynasty would have been absolutely unbeatable.

It will not and cannot be easily wiped out by those Mongolian barbarians.

After gunpowder arrived in the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty lacked war horses and the army's combat effectiveness was not strong, so it attached great importance to weapon research. This can be seen in the large number of equipped crossbows and the powerful bed crossbows. Gunpowder was even more valued, so

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial weapons supervisor set up a special workshop for the production of gunpowder and gunpowder weapons, and the output was quite large.

Moreover, the performance of gunpowder has gradually been recognized by people. It has developed from simple arson weapons to explosive weapons. During the Jingkang period, when Li Gang was guarding Bianliang, he used a thunder cannon that took advantage of the explosive properties of gunpowder.

After repelling the Jin Army, Han Shizhong used a large number of similar weapons when he intercepted Jin Wushu's army in Zhenjiang to deal with the Jin Army. Even Zhang Jun once used such weapons to defeat the Jin Army. It can be seen that the Song Dynasty had begun to gradually

Gunpowder was used as a weapon and entered the battlefield.

However, this kind of thunder cannon and thunder cannon, which were called thunder cannons and thunder cannons by the Song Dynasty, are not cannons of later generations. To put it bluntly, they are just bombs. They need to be thrown out by throwing carts or manpower. Most of the time they are used as guards.

of.

Gao Huaiyuan is familiar with these things, and now he is very concerned about the power of these things in his hands, and whether he can fully utilize the explosive properties of gunpowder.

So after looking at these thunder cannons, poison smoke balls, and rockets, he ordered Huang Yan to take a few of each, and then left the camp to find a deserted soil behind the slope, and decided to try these contemporary "high-tech" weapons.

.

"Boss, what are these things! I see that you seem to be very interested in these weird things?" Huang Yan asked while holding a bunch of things and following Gao Huaiyuan.

"Oh! These are the weapons that have just been transferred from the Xiangyang Camp to Master Meng ahead. I want to see how powerful they are! Listen to my instructions later and don't hurt yourself! You guys, please be careful.

One point, take your torch away, be careful if you detonate this thing, it will be bad luck to blow us all up!" Gao Huaiyuan replied, while loudly scolding Zhou Jun who was holding the torch because he couldn't see Huang clearly.

Yan held these things in his hands and stretched out his torch to illuminate them, hoping to see them clearly, which frightened Gao Huaiyuan out of his wits.

Zhou Jun was so frightened by Gao Huaiyuan that he jumped all the way away and never dared to approach Huang Yan again. Gao Huaiyuan then said to them: "These things are filled with gunpowder. They will ignite when exposed to fire and will explode. I don't want to

If they die, be sure not to let them touch the fire, otherwise, everyone will be unlucky together, and maybe they won't survive! You guys will remember it clearly for me in the future! This is not a joke, but human life

It’s a big deal!”

Everyone saw that what Gao Huaiyuan said was very serious, so they quickly nodded in agreement and never dared to be careless again!

As a rocket was ignited and shot out, a flash of fire appeared in the air, which indeed increased the range of the bow and arrow a lot. When used in large numbers on the battlefield, it can indeed have an unexpected effect. When the two armies are in formation

, the Song army suddenly fired this kind of rocket in advance, which could completely suppress the enemy's firepower. It was a good thing.

But the iron-cased thunder cannon was not very flattering. After it was lit, it exploded, but the sound was a bit dull. After the explosion, Gao Huaiyuan ran over to take a look, and was disappointed, because this iron thunder cannon actually only

It was blown into two halves and flew to the ground not far away. Obviously, it had little lethality. It was a weapon, but at most it only served to scare people. So he was unwilling to give in and immediately ordered another one. The result was that

It was still almost the same, so he could confirm that the current gunpowder still had considerable shortcomings in terms of proportion and purity of raw materials.

You must know that he was a policeman in his previous life, and he rarely had to deal with explosives. Such a powerful bomb would not fall into his eyes at all.

But even so, Huang Yan and others were so shocked that they covered their ears and looked a little dumbfounded. This shows that this kind of thunder cannon can still be very shocking to people who see this kind of thing for the first time.

As for those poison smoke balls, it is obviously a lot more troublesome to set them off. It is said that the inside of these things is filled with saltpeter, sulfur, arsenic, croton and other substances, and the outside is pasted with a mixture of waste paper and asphalt. You have to poke a red-hot iron cone in.

Only smoldering can burn smoke. Gao Huaiyuan was not interested in trying it with his nose, so he gave up after seeing how powerful it was.

However, Gao Huaiyuan was excited to see such a thing this time. After all, it was not easy to see such a nearly modern weapon. As a result, he was determined to develop some more powerful weapons.

The idea is that at least the self-protection ability will be strengthened a lot.

In his memory, it seemed that the era of body-controlled weapons had roughly appeared, but Gao Huaiyuan could not remember exactly when it appeared, so he began to wonder if he could find a way to promote the development of this kind of weapon, but at the moment,

On the battlefield, this idea could only stay in his mind. If he really wanted to put it into practice, he might have to wait until he returned to Wohu Village in Daye County.

This time the transportation of supplies was obviously much smoother than the previous ones. There was no danger along the way and we arrived at the Song Army camp in Zaoyang County. Otherwise, Gao Huaiyuan would really have to find a monk to help him.

Do your own fortune-telling to see if there is something in your destiny that takes care of you!

Judging from the materials transported this time, the Song Army has made preparations to completely defeat the Jin Army. Otherwise, such "high-tech" weapons would not have been transported in large quantities to the former enemies. Therefore,

As soon as Gao Huaiyuan's baggage camp arrived at the main camp, Meng Zongzheng immediately raised the tent and began to arrange it.

As a supply battalion, Gao Huaiyuan had just arrived at the main camp. In order to take care of them, Meng Zongzheng did not let Gao Huaiyuan's supply battalion participate in the battle in this battle. He just asked them to stay in the main camp, and then ordered troops to leave the camp to seek bad luck for the Jin army.

go.

Naturally, Gao Huaiyuan would not just stay in the camp and look after his family. Such a decisive battle was rare, so he still found Meng Gong and took some of his young men to follow Meng Gong.

, Meng Gong also admired Gao Huaiyuan's eagerness to fight, so he took them out of the camp together.

This time, the Jin Army did not seem to intend to fight to the death with the Song Army. Therefore, after the Song Army scolded and fought for a long time, they did not come out of the camp to challenge, and huddled in the camp and ignored the Song Army's challenge.

However, Meng Zongzheng was determined now. Seeing that the Jin army refused to fight, he sent his troops to the Jin army camp, and dragged a lot of heavy weapons such as bed crossbows and throwing carts with him, and made a plan to storm the Jin army.

The posture of the military camp.

Gao Huaiyuan, on the other hand, accompanied Meng Gong in the left-wing army, serving as a reserve team ready to attack the Jin army's camp, but failed to catch up with the errand of the frontal attack.

As the war drums sounded, groups of crossbowmen passed by the pikemen and came to the front of the battle. A cart and a crossbow were placed in front of the Song army and aimed at the Jin army's camp. When the drum beat suddenly accelerated,

, the Song soldiers who were operating the throwing carts and bed-shaped crossbows immediately roared and struggled to pull the ropes of the carts, slamming huge rocks into the Jin army's camp. The bed-shaped crossbows were also hit instantly, and the round hammer arrows roared and hit suddenly.

, slammed into the fences of the Jin Army camp.

The Jin army was already on the alert and was well prepared to defend against the enemy in the camp. The outside of the camp wall was covered with Juma Deer Village and other objects. The archers had already prepared arrows and were hiding behind the camp wall, preparing to defend against the enemy.

, as the Song army opened fire, the Jin army's camp immediately started shouting and killing, and artillery stones and arrows criss-crossed, blooming in the armies of both sides, stirring up patches of blood.

After all, the camp wall was not a strong city wall. Although it could protect against arrows, it could not withstand the bombardment of boulders. In just a few moments, several walls collapsed due to the boulders thrown by the Song Army's carts.

, even the Jin soldiers who were hiding behind the stronghold wall were pressed under the stronghold wall, and the screams were heard.

The archers of the Song Army continuously suppressed the archers of the Jin Army with dense arrow rain, especially in front of the bed crossbow. It can be said that no one can resist it. They often sweep them away, and those who are hit by round hammer arrows are

Malu Village and other buildings were immediately hit with sawdust flying everywhere, and pieces of it were overturned.

After several gaps were opened in the Jumalu Village set up outside the camp, the Jin Army obviously realized that continuing like this was not an option, so they sent a cavalry group, suddenly opened the camp door, and rushed out of the camp on horseback, trying to Assault on the Song Army's formation disrupted the Song Army's attack. However, Meng Zongzheng had obviously anticipated this situation before the war, so as soon as the Jin Army was dispatched, a blast of horns was heard from the middle of the Song Army.

Those throwing carts were immediately replaced with the thunder cannons sent by Gao Huaiyuan from the Xiangyang Camp. After the soldiers in charge lit the fuses, they threw them out with all their strength, towards the people who were pouring out of the Jin Army Camp. A piece of Jin Army cavalry flew over.

Immediately, the archers also used tinder to light the rockets assigned to them. At the same time, they turned their crossbows and fired fiercely at the Jin Army cavalry. Suddenly, countless smoke trails began to appear all over the sky, and everywhere was filled with rockets. There was a roaring sound, and then the thunder cannons that landed among the Jin Army cavalry began to roar.

The huge explosion immediately disrupted the formation of the Jin Army's cavalry. After the horses were frightened, they immediately started running around. The Jin Army's cavalry was thrown into disarray. Coupled with the rockets that hit their heads and faces, they were immediately stunned. They suffered heavy casualties and were completely unable to break into the Song army's formation, so they completely collapsed.

"Damn it! The Song Army actually brought thunder cannons!" Wanyan Saibuwen, who was commanding the guards in the camp, heard the explosions and immediately screamed. As a Jin who had fought against the Song Army many times, General, Wanyan Sai had suffered defeat more than once from thunder cannons like the Song Army, so when he heard such an explosion, he immediately became frightened.

"It seems that the Song Army is determined to fight us this time. Otherwise, we should retreat to Xinyang to rest for a while! After the next year, when we have reorganized our troops, it will not be too late to come back to Xiangyang!" His deputy general also said at this time. Unable to help but worry, Wanyan Sai no longer suggested retreating.

Seeing the Song army's sharp offensive outside the camp, Wanyan Sai nodded helplessly. He also knew that there was no need to continue to waste time here. It would only increase casualties in vain and make his army's morale even worse. He fell, so he agreed to his subordinates' suggestion and began to make arrangements for the withdrawal.

After the Song Army defeated the Jin Army's counterattack, Meng Zongzheng immediately mobilized his soldiers and launched a fierce attack at the gap in the Jin camp. Meng Gong's left army where Gao Huaiyuan was located also received the order at this time and began to attack. Under Meng Gong's pressure, they took action collectively, formed a dense arrow-shaped array, and rushed towards the Jin camp.

Because Gao Huaiyuan did not bring his supply camp, he took his subordinate Huang Yan and a group of young men to act as Meng Gong's personal guards, and followed the left army towards the Jin army camp.

Although the Song Army took the initiative on the battlefield, it failed to completely defeat the Jin Army's will. The two armies still launched a fierce battle in front of the wall. A large number of Jin troops blocked the Song Army's attack route. The Song Army severely It hit the Jin Army's defensive line. At this time, the Song Army's long-range firepower could no longer take advantage. They could only count on the attacking soldiers to tear through the Jin Army's defense line with their bodies.

Therefore, the battle immediately reached a fever pitch. After the hand-to-hand encounter, the battlefield was filled with the sound of weapons clashing. The shouts of killing were mixed with the screams of dying people. It was horrifying for those who were going into battle for the first time. But this time Even if someone is timid, they cannot escape from the battlefield because so many soldiers are crowded together. They have no room for maneuver except to choose to kill their opponent or be killed by their opponent.

The pikeman struggled to stab the enemy in front of him with the spear in his hand, but was immediately knocked to the ground by the spear from the opposite side. The shield hand raised the shield on his left arm, constantly resisting the weapons that were slashed or stabbed from the opposite side.

, while roaring wildly, he thrust out the dagger or spear in his hand and fought with the opponent until he was also killed in front of the formation.

Smoking thunder cannons or thunderbolts were thrown over the heads of the Song army and into the Jin camp. The constant explosions greatly damaged the morale of the Jin army, which was already demoralized.

The high-ranking Jin army became even more frustrated, and gradually began to be unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Song army, and the line became loose.

Meng Gong immediately realized the strange behavior of the Jin army in the army, so he immediately shouted: "Everyone moves forward, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

After shouting, Meng Gong immediately led his troops to attack the Jin army, which was gradually retreating. His bravery made Gao Huaiyuan beside him have to admire him, and then he led Huang Yan and others to protect Meng Gong, forming a

He picked up a sharp knife and inserted it fiercely into the Jin army's line.

The brave behavior of Meng Gong and Gao Huaiyuan immediately aroused the morale of the soldiers under Meng Gong's command. With the morale of the Song army greatly increased, the entire army followed closely and pressed against the Jin army.

The bright Liuyun Scimitar flashed continuously, and every time it was swung out, it brought out a burst of blood. Meng Gong in the chaos happily waved the Liuyun Scimitar given by Gao Huaiyuan in his hand, feeling every swing of the sword.

After using the Liuyun scimitar, he felt that his martial arts skills could be increased by at least 20%. The enemy's inferior swords were often cut into two pieces when they encountered his sword.

Few people can get a little advantage from the knife in his hand.

The main reason why Meng Gong felt so happy was that Gao Huaiyuan was by his side at the moment, with a moon sword dancing like a wheel, taking a masculine path, slashing and slashing with all his might,

The golden soldiers around him were killed until their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and he firmly protected Meng Gong's side. When encountering a strong opponent, Gao Huaiyuan would use his sword in advance and cut the golden soldiers to the ground, saving Meng Gong.

There is a lot of trouble, this style of fighting has a lot of courage that no one can deserve, and this Yanyue Sword allows him to display his sword skills better.

They were like sharp blades, cutting straight into the Jin army, leading many Song army soldiers behind them into the Jin army camp...

Hanfeng is once again shamelessly begging everyone for a few red votes, okay? Since everyone is cheering, can you just give me some face and vote for a few more red votes? How pitiful! Just these dozen red votes are really frustrating.

The cold wind makes me ashamed! Haha!)dd
