Sweep the World

The application of gunpowder to the military will not break the original military system at once. Even after the emergence of large-scale troops with artillery and muskets, certain cold weapons will still have their own stage, not to mention Liu Yan will disappear completely at once, and it can even be said that cold weapons will never disappear...such as bayonets and daggers.

In history, the gunpowder appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, but the gunpowder at that time was not good enough. Furthermore, the gunpowder was also flawed. Not to mention the short range, not to mention the accuracy.

The musket of the Southern Song Dynasty was not actually a gun, it was a fire-breathing tube, and it was not projectiles, but iron filings. It is often a thing that scares people by breathing fire and smoke. It won't have any lethality beyond three or five steps together, and the effect of being shot when it is close is similar to that of a shotgun.

It may be known that the actual combat application effect is poor. The Southern Song Dynasty did not manufacture large-scale fire-throwers, and prefer to study the rockets that use gunpowder as the thrust.

The so-called "swarm of bees" is actually a kind of gunpowder booster on the tail, which is equipped with a specially built honeycomb. After the fuze is lit, the gunpowder booster appears to have an effect, and then hundreds of thousands of arrows quickly "shoo." The ground was launched.

In addition to "a swarm of bees", the Southern Song Dynasty also had a weapon similar to a grenade called "Fire Tribulus", but because of the wrong gunpowder formula, the power of "Fire Tribulus" was actually very limited.

When it comes to the gunpowder formula of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is actually a "medicine puppet" inherited from the late Tang Dynasty. The ingredients are not only saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, but also some inexplicable things. The more exaggerated is the addition of **** or garlic. The ratio of things that can't be hit by eight poles is even more wrong.

The emergence of "medicine puppets" originated from the failure of some alchemists (warlocks) in alchemy. In the late Tang Dynasty, the "medicine puppets" were used by warlocks to perform some fireworks displays.

Bronze guns were also developed during the Southern Song Dynasty, and of course solid projectiles were fired. However, due to the insufficient explosive thrust caused by the wrong gunpowder formula, the range was not long.

The gunpowder produced by Liu Yan has directly reached the stage of black powder. The power of gunpowder is enough, but some smelting constraints have made the development of gunpowder weapons not smooth. The grenade became a porcelain jar for medicine.

Even the bronze gun is not that simple. It does not mean that even if a gun tube is cast, it is necessary to consider the heat resistance of the metal and the relative shock resistance. In addition, the wind tunnel in the gun tube is also a science. Anyway, it does not mean that there is a solid tube that can be filled with gunpowder as a cannon. Such a thing will only make a long and thick bomb, and the probability of being blown up will be infinitely high.

The explosives packs and porcelain grenades used by the Han army at this stage, the explosives packs are purely explosive to create damage, there is no metal for lasing, and the range of damage is actually limited. The maximum power is sufficient except for the explosion center. The outside is to kill or injure people with shock and splashed stones; porcelain grenade is a small explosive package, after the explosion, the power is not great, the range of the explosion wave is within one or two steps, mainly Killing and wounding are caused by splashes of porcelain.

Because gunpowder weapons were used on the battlefield for the first time, Murong Yanjun, who was completely ignorant of gunpowder, was actually not as serious as they thought they were killed and wounded. The main reason is to make Murong Yanjun panic because of the fear of the unknown, and think about the power of ghosts and gods.

Before science is recognized, superstition will be a common phenomenon, especially in the Chinese cultural circle system, superstition will be more serious, that is, the ruler of the country is the emperor, and even Confucianism also has "celestial and human induction". That set, the superstition atmosphere that has been cultivated for a long time.

Therefore, as the Han army who uses gunpowder weapons, they firmly believe that they are favored by the heavens. The Murongyan army who is attacked by gunpowder weapons will feel that they have been abandoned by heaven. I'm afraid I don't need to say any more about the results.

The statistics of the war were delivered to Liu Yan at noon the next day.

In this battle, 14,000 corpses of Murong Yan's army could be collected. Only about 800 people who died of gunpowder could be identified from their wounds, and the rest died under cold weapons. There must be some dead people who have not been found for a while, and there are also dead people who were directly evaporated by gunpowder. The military newspaper will only make general supplements later.

Need for Little Heavenly Master

"The statistics of prisoners of war are more than 63,000, and more than 4,000 are seriously injured." Yuan Qiao did not say that Murong Yanjun, who was slightly injured, will be dealt with later: "We guess the enemy should have 30,000. Successfully escaped left and right."

The so-called dealing with the seriously wounded of the enemy is nothing more than giving pleasure. There is no cruelty in doing so, and no army will spend precious medicinal materials on ordinary soldiers of the enemy army. Giving happiness is the greatest kindness.

"Thirty thousand escaped, including Murong Ke?" Liu Yan didn't demand too much. The big victory was based on haste, although he was prepared but still insufficient. He put down the cutlery in his hand, changed to a sitting posture, and asked, "Where are our casualties?"

Yuan Qiao did not look at the wooden calf in his hand, and replied: "2,117 people were killed in the battle. Among them were a school lieutenant, a military officer, and four other simas. There were 301 seriously wounded. No The number of lightly wounded people who affected the continued combat was not counted."

Any victory comes at a price, especially in the era of cold weapons. Killing the enemy by 10,000 and damaging it by 8,000 is the mainstream. Annihilating the enemy by 10,000 and damaging it is definitely a powerful army in the current world.

In the early stages of the Han army's confrontation with the enemy, the casualty ratio was often a probability of five to one. Yuanshuo increased to a ratio of seven to one after three years.

"It's almost six to one..." Liu Yan was still able to accept this data: "For forest combat, the battle formation we are good at has not been laid out, and the result of the battle loss ratio is acceptable."

In fact, as long as the troops of Huaxia Civilization are fighting against foreign races, as long as they can set up their formation, it will not be too ugly even if they lose casualties. The exaggerated number of people killed occurred in the process of fleeing and being chased. Generally, people trampled to death by themselves. More than killed by the enemy.

Their army used gunpowder to cause Murong Yan's army to collapse, but then pursued in the woods, and many advantages were basically not shown. The Han army did not pay enough attention to individual combat strength. What they valued was the cooperation and coordination of the military formation. Some chasing soldiers were killed by the urgent Murong Yan army.

To be honest, Murong Yanguo is now in an ascendant stage. Most of the soldiers in the army are experienced generations, especially in the Northeast countries where they have found confidence, panicked, and the Han army has tried to kill the Jie people. In the previous example, the more aggressive Murong Yanjun felt that if he could not escape, he would definitely fight back. Most of the Han soldiers who died in battle died under the decisive counterattack of those people.

"If there were no firearms, we would fight Murong Xianbei in the open, and our casualties would be more serious." It didn't take long for Sang Yu to come here. He was qualified to check the casualty data of this battle. After reading it, he finished speaking in a reasonable tone. It is somewhat proud to say: "But the final winner will definitely be the big man."

Sang Yu is not only talking about the Qiushui battlefield, but also the overall situation of the battle to destroy the swallows.

The information on the Northern Line and the rest of the area has been gathered last night. The victory of the Qiushui battlefield has appeared much faster than expected. The army on the Northern Line has not only seized Liucheng, but also cut off traffic. The horse is all water on the line.

If this trend continues, the army led by Liu Yan will join forces with the northern army in no more than two days, and will sweep down Yuyang County, Peiping County, and Liaoxi County in one fell swoop, and will directly advance to Changli County (also known as Longcheng). The county where it is located), the unexpected place is the instability of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla reported by the Zhengdong Shogunate.

"Liucheng is the forefront of Dragon City. It was only defeated by the first battle." After coming over, Ji Chang looked at the known information again very rigorously. When he looked up, he looked at Liu Yan and said: "Murong Xianbei's evacuation speed is faster than We expected it to be fast."

"Xianbei was born by the grass, and the time to settle down is not long. Except for the Jin people, most of the country maintains a nomadic posture." Sang Yu stroked the beard of his chin and said with a smile: "This is within our calculation. "

"If you want me to say, if you can eliminate more, you can't let it go." Xu Zhengwu moved the leg of lamb in his hand and swallowed the meat in his mouth, while smashing his chest, he said with difficulty: "I just want to stay. There are Rouran and Ding Ling who are practicing opponents."

Destroying Yan is definitely going to be annihilated, but the difficulty of complete annihilation is not generally high. Therefore, when formulating the combat plan, Han did not expect to completely eliminate Murong Xianbei, or judged in advance that a certain number of Murong Xianbei would complete the evacuation. Ying Tianjue

Liu Yan knew that a country could not be invincible. Since Murong Xianbei could not be completely eliminated, he would fight with the goal of the greatest damage.

It is a strategic plan for the general to deliberately leave the enemy army to raise tigers, while the country deliberately to leave the enemy country behind.

A truly wise leader never hopes that the whole world will be friends, even if it is to create an enemy country, it is not used to spur itself, but just to prevent the people from being completely without a sense of crisis.

For a long time to come, the Han Nationality entered a period of development of internal affairs, but it was not true that it would put Nanshan knives and guns into the warehouse. Existence, the army also needs to maintain combat effectiveness in a series of continuous combat, so after driving Murong Xianbei to the cold Xianbei grassland, the extremely weak Murong Xianbei will be a good target for continuous military training.

Of course, Liu Yan didn't mean to give up completely eliminating Murong Xianbei, nor did he even plan to let go of that Tuoba Xianbei, waiting for it to be wiped out before going west.

Not only Murong Xianbei, but also Rouran and Dong Gaoche in Mobei, and Xi Gaoche in the northwestern area of ​​Zhuoxie Mountain. Naturally, there is no need for Di and Qiang on the other side of the basin and those who escaped from the Central Plains. Liu Yan has none of them. I intend to stay and stage the drama of "spring breeze blowing again".

"Practicing hands?" Xu Zheng curled his lips: "It's not that someone looks down on Rouran and Ding Ling, they are not in the same rank as Xianbei."

It’s not good, but it’s really true. Nowadays, the closer the Eastern World is to the Central Plains, the stronger the national strength, which is mainly reflected in the national structure and technology. Rouran and Ding Ling are ethnic groups that tend to be primitive. Without mastering the smelting technology, believe it or not, most people are still using stone tools?

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it is not just the Rouran and Dingling people. There are a large number of peoples who have not mastered metal smelting technology. The people on the world island who have mastered smelting have no more than ten fingers. There are no countries with technology and sufficient population. One is not a big country, the rest is basically still drinking blood, not even the stage of slash-and-burn cultivation.

It may be funny to say that the World Island is already very good. In the 16th century, there were not many civilizations that entered the Bronze Age in South America and North America. As a result, when the white people entered the colonial period, the natives were basically all After all, the Mayans were wiped out by germs brought over by Europe. Therefore, there are only a handful of true natives in modern North and South America, and mixed races are the mainstream. Africa? Needless to say.

"Prisoners of war are executed ten times and one kill, and then transported to the (Liaodong) peninsula first." Liu Yan is not a **** madman. It is a universal practice to take ten times and one kill on prisoners, but the Romans strictly enforced them until the country was destroyed. He walked to the shelf where the maps of mountains and rivers were hung, clicked on a few areas, gave some orders, and finally said: "The next war widows will no longer personally participate."

No one has any opinions. Murong Yan’s West Route Army collapsed, and the Han Army also came under the Dragon City. The subsequent development of the battle was to enter the stage of division and elimination. Even if there was a battle, it was against the East Route Army led by Murong Jun. . And if Murong Jun is not stupid, knowing that Murong Ke's West Route Army is finished, he should leave the girl and enter the stage of fleeing.

"Is it Dingxiang's business?" Ran Min opened the curtain~www.wuxiamtl.com~ before coming in, the voice came first, and after coming in, he saluted Liu Yan and said impatiently: "Long Teng six days ago The guards started to try to fight back. Did Shihu die trying to break through, or did Shihu not die to break through?"

There was a long-term siege by the Han army in Dingxiang, and after the war between Zhouzhou and Shuozhou, Li Tan had been sitting in person.

Liu Yan smelled a strong **** smell in his nose, and the source was Ran Min, who was covered in blood.

Sang Yu and Ran Min have always been wrong, and they said, "General Hussar, at least freshen up first, right?"

"It's just that you, a soft guy who has never been on the battlefield, can't stand it." Ran Min was not polite at all. After spraying Sangyu's face, he ignored Liu Yan and looked at Liu Yan again: "Your Majesty, if you want to go to Dingxiang, Please also allow the end to follow."

Liu Yan felt somewhat surprised. It was not an accident that Ran Min actually knew the news from Dingxiang. It was an accident that Ran Min would miss the ending battle of Mieyan. It's just that he was relieved after a little thought. The entanglement between Ran Min and Shi Jie Zhao Guo was difficult to explain clearly, but he would never put an end to Shi Jie Zhao Guo by mistake.
