After taking a shot, the Mongols changed their formation. They divided their forces into two groups, Hedong and Hexi. Because the boat was in the river, they planned to attack from both sides.

Only by lowering the rafts from both sides at the same time can the boat be better blocked in the river.

"Brother Yang, they are coming." Zhang Fengyi shouted excitedly.

This girl loves the battlefield so much. Seeing the fight start, her little face turned red with excitement.

Yang Fan said with a smile: "If you don't rush over, why don't you stay there, waiting to continue to be bombed?"

The military quality of the Mongolian tribes in the Desert seems to be obviously stronger than that of the Mongolian tribes in the Southern Mongolia. They quickly stabilized the right wing. The cannon shot just now was earth-shattering. The huge explosion startled the horses. However, it only killed and injured more than 100 people, less than 200 people.

A group of slaves came out from behind the mountain and quickly carried away the killed and injured cavalry. After clearing the scene, the five thousand cavalrymen on the right wing quickly reorganized their formation and stabilized the situation.

Except for the big hole in the middle, there is no difference from the beginning.

Woohoo! The low horn sounded, and an infantry array of more than 8,000 people, pushing shield carts and carrying wooden platoons, walked towards the gunboat.

Because the distance is seven miles, we can't run. Otherwise, when you get there, your physical strength will be exhausted and you won’t be able to fight. They could only push the cart and move forward quickly.

Zhang Wudian asked: "From the time they set off to the nearest range limit of the cannon, how many opportunities did they have to fire."

This is what knowledgeable people say, artillery is not a weapon that can be used all the time. There is a maximum range and a minimum range. What can be used is the middle section.

Yang Fan said: "The maximum firing range is 3500 meters, the effective direct aiming range is 1500 meters. The minimum firing range is 300 meters. Within a thousand meters, due to the shooting angle problem, heavy high-explosive shells cannot be used. Only spherical solid bullets and shotgun shells can be used for direct shooting. But the last shot must be shot with shotgun shells, and the last shot with spherical solid bullets is at a distance of 500 meters."

The reloading time of this kind of heavy artillery is too long. After the last shot is fired, there is not enough time left to reload.

The walking speed of a person is about four kilometers per hour. This is strolling speed.

The Mongols were stronger, but they wore armor and weapons, and had to push heavy shield carts, which would only cover six kilometers in an hour.

It takes about 10 minutes to travel one kilometer. In other words, it takes them 35 minutes from departure to contact with the enemy. According to the firing rate of one gun in five minutes, there are 7 firing opportunities.

Yang Fan looked down from the porthole of the cab. On both sides of the river, dense enemies were advancing. It seemed that they were preparing to advance under the bombardment of artillery fire.

For the first time they encountered such sharp artillery, they could still maintain this courage, which shows that they are indeed excellent warriors.

If this were the Ming Dynasty's army, they would have been so frightened that they would have fled away. The infantry of the Ming Dynasty were so strange that even the cavalry and horsemen could not catch up with the infantry. This kind of thing is often recorded in history books.

The shells were loaded, and Huang Hao asked: "Sir, should I shoot on the left or on the right?"

Yang Fan pondered for a moment and said: "If you hurt ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of them. Then hit the right wing and destroy it for me."

Zhang Wudian shouted "Hello", and Dingyuan Bo came to the battle, showing his superb command level.

Just focus on hitting one and leave the other alone.

Soon the Taijis on the right will be beaten intolerable. Because, Desert Mongolia is the same as Monan Mongolia. It was Nayan who led the grassroots tribes, with Taiji at the top, and the Little Khan and the Great Khan further up.

They are composed of different interest groups coming together. It is impossible for Nayan from any tribe to bear all the losses by himself. Let others benefit. In this way, his tribe will be annexed after the war. He will also be killed, and his wives, daughters, warriors, slaves, cattle, sheep, and all his property will become someone else's.

Not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality is a common feature of all human beings.

"Target enemy right-wing infantry array, 3,000 meters away, fire," Huang Hao ordered.

With a bang, the ship's hull shook violently again, and a burst of fire and thick smoke erupted from the muzzle. A 200-pound heavy artillery shell roared out of the barrel.

The enemy's military formation was divided into two parts, Hedong and Hexi. These two parts are advancing simultaneously. The purpose was to block the river channel with wooden rafts from both sides and crowd the gunboats.

They also prepared a lot of burning materials and used cars to pull them forward.

These burning objects are broken sheepskins, drizzled with fierce fire oil, a specialty of the Western Regions. These fierce fire oils emit a foul smell, but they are actually oil that naturally leaks out of the ground.

There are special holes in the cannonballs, and the cannonballs fly away with a screaming sound. Sound the music of death.

This was designed by Yang Fan specifically asking Fu Laoliu's team. Yang Fan just wanted to use the scream to form a conditional launch. Expand the enemy's fear.

The whistling sound of cannon shells is sharp and shrill, like an awl piercing your eardrums. It makes people very uncomfortable.

This time, the sound came together, and immediately there was a commotion in the infantry array.

Although they were forced forward by the cavalry. But last time, the tragic situation of the cavalry on the right wing had been deeply engraved in their minds.

When the roaring sound came, these people immediately began to hide in panic. Even the cavalry holding down the formation panicked.

This was their first contact with heavy artillery and they had no experience in dodging. I don’t know if lying down is the best.

If you are not killed the first time, the best option is to get into the crater quickly. Because both cannons landed at the same point, this possibility was basically non-existent.

Of course, in modern times, self-propelled artillery already has the technology of firing multiple shells in sequence and landing on one point. This technology did not exist before the 21st century.

Zhang Fengyi looked at the Mongolian soldiers and slaves running in the distance and asked: "Brother Yang, the flight of the artillery shells makes a harsh sound. Can you judge where the shells will land by the sound?"

Yang Fan looked back at Zhang Fengyi in surprise. I didn't expect this girl to be quite savvy.

Yang Fan nodded and said: "Different cannonballs have different sounds. Now this sound is made by drilling holes in the cannonball and letting the air flow pass through. But there are also natural sounds."

"If on the battlefield, the huge whistling sound of the artillery shell, carried by the strong wind, flies directly over the heads of the infantry, and the sharp and long whistling sound means that the artillery shell is very far away from you and cannot blow you. You There’s no need to be afraid, just do whatever you have to do.”

In fact, Zhang Fengyi has no use for this knowledge. Because, unless she leads the troops and meets Yang Fan on the battlefield in the future, they will meet each other with swords. Otherwise, she would have no chance to experience these advanced artillery.

It is impossible for Yang Fan to pass on these advanced artillery technologies. Yang Fan is growing obscenely now. He already has a base in Daming that is sufficient for his development. These are his strengths in Ming Dynasty. And his real strength is hidden in the vast area north and west of the Great Wall.
