The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

239 It's all the fault of the artillery

In the land of Yan and Zhao in the north, a ten-man cavalry team of the Zhao army was rapidly searching and advancing. They were ordered to explore all possible problems ahead. The most important thing was to find out the details of the Yan army.

At the same time, a Yan army group of more than 8,000 people was slowly advancing. They were escorting artillery produced by Yan State. The number of these artillery pieces was as high as fifty-nine.

This is almost a production miracle. Even the Qin State could not produce so many artillery pieces in a short period of time. And all this is due to the strong "support" of Ju Xin. Regardless of the production of artillery, a large number of imitations began. Just look at the production quantity.

Regardless of production quality, we only pursue quantity. Under such urgent needs, the number of artillery has increased to such a large number in a short period of time. This has to be said to be a miracle.

"Clatter" came the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly attracted the attention of the general of the Yan army, Qing Qin. So he instinctively picked up the telescope to check. This telescope was a gift from the Qin army.

"Yes, it's Zhao Jun. Hurry, set up the artillery and fire." Qing Qin shouted loudly.

As soon as the people below heard that Zhao Jun was there, they immediately panicked and set up artillery fire.

Zhao Jun's squad also discovered this huge Yan Jun team, and immediately stopped and checked the Yan Jun's situation from a distance.

"Chief, what should we do?" Zhao Jun asked from below.

"Spread out, let's get closer to investigate, and then follow them. After finding out the situation, we will quickly report it to the general." The commander of the Zhao army ordered.

"Here." Zhao Jun soldiers agreed one after another.

"Prepare" and "fire." A Yanjun artillery was prepared first and fired immediately.

"Whoosh." A shell roared into the distance. It was still a hundred thousand steps away from the Zhao army's position just now, and there was no accuracy at all. The Yan army's artillery did not have any aiming equipment. Even the cannons

The frame is just a simple imitation. It doesn't even have an accuracy signal or scale. Such an artillery can't be said to have any accuracy at all.

"Check out the Yan army's artillery and evacuate quickly. Quick." The commander of the Zhao army quickly ordered.

Everyone silently separated and quickly stepped forward.

"Bang. Bang." The Yan army kept firing, but they couldn't hit the Zhao army's cavalry. The Zhao army's cavalry quickly stepped forward. They quickly passed by the edge of the Yan army, and then quickly disappeared.

"Idiots, a bunch of idiots. With so many artillery pieces, they can't even hit a few Zhao troops." General Qing Qin yelled. There was no way. The people who knew how to operate the artillery were all in Julu. And these artillery soldiers were improvised.

, some of them can’t even figure out the loading steps. In addition, the artillery has no aiming equipment, so it’s strange that it can’t shoot accurately.

This small incident did not immediately arouse the vigilance of the Yan army. After packing up the cannons, everyone started on the road.

The small team quickly reported the situation to Li Mu. Li Mu immediately took measures and began to gather troops to quickly move closer to the Yan army.

The plains of Yan and Zhao were open and unobstructed. The Zhao army assembled three thousand cavalry and quickly caught up with the Yan army's large group of troops.

Three thousand cavalry lined up in three columns and pressed neatly against the Yan army. The Yan army soldiers quickly set up their artillery and fired. At this time, the two armies were two miles apart.

There were no orders or any command. The Yan army's artillery fire was very messy.

The artillery fired intermittently. The distance of two miles was still within the effective range of the artillery.

"Bang. Bang." "Whoosh." The roaring artillery shells first hit the ground, and then bounced up and hit Zhao Jun. The artillery with the increased caliber was also more powerful. After the solid shells were launched, they hit Zhao Jun's cavalry.

The horse was smashed to pieces. The cannonball hit the horse's neck, and the cavalry on the horse was smashed to pieces. The pieces of meat were smashed all over the ground. The blood immediately stimulated these outstanding soldiers.

Having seen the powerful artillery, Zhao Jun's cavalry began to charge. The distance was a bit far, but an attack must be launched. Taking advantage of the rapidity of the cavalry, they quickly approached the enemy.

"Kill." Zhao Jun's cavalry began to charge crazily. A line quickly pressed towards Yan Jun.

When the Yan army saw the Zhao army launching an attack, they immediately took counterattack measures and the artillery fire rate immediately increased.

The Yan Army's artillery had no accuracy to begin with, and being able to hit the Zhao Army was purely a matter of luck. However, as the Zhao Army's cavalry quickly approached and the rate of fire of the artillery increased, hitting the Zhao Army's cavalry became a high-probability event, and the distance was rapid.

It became five hundred steps. At this distance, the artillery fired directly, coupled with a dense firing speed.

Zhao Jun's cavalry were shot a lot. Those who were shot were often shattered to pieces, or their limbs were directly knocked off, and fell to the ground in pain. Zhao Jun still ignored this, and the speed was getting faster and faster. These sacrifices were necessary.

"Hurry, hurry up. Charge more powder. Hit hard." Yan Jun officer shouted eagerly. Seeing Zhao Jun approaching quickly, he began to one-sidedly believe that charging more propellant would increase the size of the shell.

"Power," the officer shouted.

"Boom." There was a loud noise. One artillery finally exploded. The huge explosion spread to two surrounding artillery. Many people were killed on the spot. Some propellants placed nearby were also ignited. The explosion began to trigger a chain reaction.

The artillery cast by the Yan army had serious quality problems. The first pouring method was incorrect. Qin used the inverted pouring method, while Yan used the horizontal pouring method. As a result, a large number of air bubbles were trapped in the running wall.

At the same time, the pressure on the artillery firing position began to increase sharply. Then came the one-sided pursuit of quantity. The quality began to seriously decline, coupled with the low quality of artillery personnel. In the battlefield environment, the pursuit of high power increased the propellant charge.

The amount of gun barrel fired at high speed. All of this led to this disaster.

The disaster had just begun. After a huge explosion, the propellants of other nearby artillery positions were ignited. The Yan army did not arrange the artillery positions reasonably at all. In order to pursue the killing effect, the artillery was deployed as densely as archers. As a result, the disaster began.

Huge explosions occurred one after another in the Yan army's position. The Yan army soldiers, who were shocked by such huge explosions, were the first to break into turmoil before they could engage the Zhao army. Everyone began to run away to avoid the explosions. A row of spears stood in front of them.

The soldiers also began to get into chaos and fled in all directions.

The huge explosion not only affected the Yan army, but also the Zhao army's cavalry, which was approaching quickly, tightened their horses due to the huge explosion, and their positions were very panicked for a time. Fortunately, they were well-trained and quickly adjusted. They launched an attack again. The Zhao army's cavalry did not have to attack the Yan army.

Because the Yan army had no defensive measures, the Zhao army began to hunt freely. The Yan army was completely defeated.
