Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 854
In the history of cold weapons, heavy cavalry has always been a big killer.

They are invincible in armor and horses, and they can trample all the enemies in front of them into flesh.

Of course, the price is also very high.

Even the Han Dynasty couldn't raise many.

The usefulness of heavy cavalry lies in frontal impact, tearing apart the opponent's formation, and fighting frontally. No arm is an opponent of heavy cavalry.

At least in Ju Yi's perception, it is impossible to defeat the heavy cavalry head-on.

Hearing that the Yunzhou army had defeated the heavy cavalry head-on, Ju Yi's first thought was disbelief.

To defeat the heavy cavalry requires the cooperation of multiple armies.

But most of them break through from the side, and it is simply impossible to break through from the front.

It's like a man wrestling an elephant head-on.

Humans simply cannot win.

Seeing Ju Yi's expression, Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Let's go to the shooting range."

The shooting range is where the artillery is trained. Since the artillery is a secret of Yunzhou, this shooting range is also heavily guarded.

A group of people hurried into the shooting range, where Yunzhou's artillery unit was stationed.

Seeing Guo Jia bringing someone over, Zhao Dahui immediately ran over.

"My lord, Lord Inspector, why are you here?"

This guy won a big victory in Jizhou, and tens of thousands of navy troops fought by 500 people were defeated, which is enough for this guy to brag about for a lifetime.

During this period of time, Zhao Dahammer was naturally boasting.

After several years of development, the scale of artillery has also grown a lot.Nowadays, there are more than a thousand people, and an artillery academy has even been established.

There are also hundreds of artillery vehicles of various types, and thousands of auxiliary soldiers, mules and horses.

Ha ha!

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Come and see your training, why, you are not welcome?"

welcome!

Zhao Dachui immediately smiled.

"If the lord can come, our artillery will be full of glory. The lord is an immortal descending from the earth, and we can also enjoy the spirit of immortality when we come here."

Without further ado!

Guo Jia waved his hand: "Start training!"

promise!
Zhao Dachui immediately responded, and trotted to the field.

"gather!"

The orderly sounded the horn.

After a while, a thousand artillerymen were assembled.

Zhao Dachui said loudly: "Brothers of artillery, the master is here today and wants to see our training. We must not embarrass the master. Start training now!"

promise!
The artillerymen roared in unison, rushed into the barracks one after another, and slowly dragged the artillery carriage out.

After these years of development, Yunzhou's artillery vehicles have also become more abundant.

There are heavy artillery vehicles that can hit hundreds of paces, and light artillery vehicles that can hit one or two hundred paces. There are bronze artillery within one hundred paces.

Three types of artillery basically covered a distance of five hundred paces.

There is also a swarm of rocket vans.

This is for emergencies.

Hundreds of feathered arrows are filled in the fire box, using gunpowder as the medium, once ignited, they will rush forward in a swarm.

Although the shooting accuracy is poor, it has a wide coverage and a concentrated strike surface, which is a sharp weapon for artillery close-up self-defense.

Guo Jia finally came to inspect for a while, Zhao Dachui naturally wanted to perform well, so he pulled out all the belongings of the artillery.

Ten bronze cannons, five heavy artillery carts, thirty light artillery carts and ten boxes of bees.

More than two hundred artillerymen stood ready.

Is this the artillery of Yunzhou?

Ju Yi was a little dazed looking at these weird things.

He also heard that Yunzhou has always had a strange unit called artillery, which can use some strange weapons.

Was it these artillery that defeated the heavy cavalry?
Thinking of this, Ju Yi couldn't help opening his eyes wide, wanting to take a closer look at what's weird about this artillery.

Lord!

Zhao Dachui trotted to Guo Jia.

"The artillery is ready, please instruct!"

To train the artillery, Guo Jia adopted modern regulations, so the composition of the artillery was somewhat different from that of the ordinary Yunzhou Army.

Start training!
Guo Jia ordered.

Yes!
Zhao Dachui ran to the podium with the command flag in hand.

Everyone was brought to a safe distance.

"Target, five hundred steps ahead!"

Zhao Dachui waved the red flag five times.

The last group of artillery immediately finished debugging the heavy artillery vehicle.

The heavy-duty artillery cart was refitted from the largest catapult cart. When firing, it needed to be pulled by mules and horses. The shells were clustered crock pots with a range of [-] paces.

"emission!"

With a wave of the green flag in Zhao Dachui's hand, one artilleryman ignited the fuze, and the other waved his hand and cut the rope.

Whoosh whoosh!
Five heavy artillery vehicles fired the shells immediately.

Boom boom boom.

The ground almost trembled a few times, and a lot of thick smoke came out.

"Second incendiary bomb!"

Zhao Dachui hurriedly waved the red flag, and the artillerymen in the back row began to prepare to launch in an orderly manner.

Whoosh whoosh!
The second round was fired with incendiary bombs.

The incendiary bomb exploded in mid-air, covering a radius of ten feet in flames.

This……

Seeing this wave of attacks, Ju Yi couldn't help being stunned.

There is such a sharp weapon in the world?
A large number of enemies can be wiped out within five hundred steps.

It's a pity that the firing frequency of the artillery cart is a bit slow, and the attack range is fixed. If the opponent is a cavalry, it takes two or three shots here, and the cavalry can break through the attack range of the artillery cart.

At this moment, Zhao Dachui waved the red flag again.

"Target, [-] to [-] paces, light gun carriages ready!"

The artillerymen in the middle prepared their light artillery vehicles one after another.

The attack range of this light artillery vehicle is between [-] and [-] paces, and the ammunition loaded is less than that of the heavy artillery. It can only hold one earthen jar at a time, but fortunately, there are many of them and the attack range is large.

emission!

Zhao Dahammer waved the green flag, and dozens of shells were fired.

Boom boom boom!

This wave of artillery shells included crock bombs and incendiary bombs, which were very mixed. Although a single shell did not cause much damage, it was still spectacular to fire more than [-] shells together.

In addition, the frequency of light artillery attacks is extremely high.

Five to ten shells could be fired within the time the cavalry advanced two hundred paces.

Amazing!
Ju Yi was a little dumbfounded.

If they met on the battlefield, the cavalry began to be attacked five hundred paces away, and the attack was most intense between three hundred and one hundred paces.

I am afraid that I will be very aggrieved if I just get beaten and don't fight back.

but……

Ju Yi's eyes fell on the last hundred steps.

If the cavalry can withstand the artillery fire and rush to the last hundred steps, even if there are only a few troops, the artillery must be the last to die.

Cavalry killing infantry is called massacre.

Goal [-] steps!

Zhao Dahammer waved the red flag again.

The artillerymen in the front row immediately began to prepare for the artillery attack.

In fact, Ju Yi noticed at the very beginning that there were one cylinder after another erected in front of the artillery, and the wheels below were used to carry it.

There are circles and circles of straw ropes wrapped around it, and behind it are rows of wooden boxes, and inside the boxes lie copper pillars one after another.

It's a little different from ordinary cannon carriages.
