Chapter 20 Repel the Tartars
Chapter 20 �
What would it look like if more than a thousand kilograms of gunpowder explode? Zhou Mengchen didn't know it before, but now he knows it.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used the gunpowder coffin that exploded the city walls, and the gunpowder coffin, may not be as many as a carriage.
Therefore, when Zhou Mengchen saw the gunpowder explosion, his first feeling was the heavy artillery bombardment in the documentary.
Zhou Mengchen saw clearly that the first gunpowder truck rushed into the enemy cavalry, with about 200 cavalry all killed.
Of course, the situation of bombing deaths is different at different distances of the gunpowder truck. The ones that are closest are naturally the corpse that has no bones left. If they are closer, the broken limbs fly around. If they are farther away, the whole person will fly, and the body looks intact. However, all the holes on the body are bleeding from facial features to anus. Obviously, the inside is no longer in appearance. If they are farther away, there are a large number of fallen horses, mostly broken bones, some dead or not, and there are a large number of moans. As for a little further away, most of them can survive. But occasionally there are unlucky guys, the stones, weapons, and wood chips that are flying in front of each other, and they will die when they hit the vital places.
At this moment, Zhou Mengchen had a feeling in his heart, that is, whether he underestimated the power of gunpowder.
In fact, it was not that he underestimated it, but that modern film and television dramas have seriously weakened the power of modern firearms. By the way, Zhou Mengchen also underestimated the power of gunpowder. Even if the power of black-gunpowder is a little worse, the quantity is placed here. The same charge of one or two thousand kilograms, that is, more than 600 kilograms of medicine is the battleship shells, and one can blow out a pit in the football field, which is definitely at a strategic level.
This explosion is more powerful than that.
However, Zhou Mengchen had at least seen the explosion of the big explosion. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he had also figured out the film and television materials. Therefore, Zhou Mengchen had a high acceptance of the explosion. Although he felt that it was a bit powerful, it was expected.
But the Tartars are different.
As generals of the upper class of the Tartars, they were surprised by such an explosion. But they were still able to calm down. The Tartar soldiers had already a little frustrated. The Tartars were not afraid of death. However, being killed was not the case with no bones blown by gunpowder, but it was completely different from the bones that were blown away by gunpowder.
That's fine.
After all, they are humans, and humans are self-control.
The ones that are most affected are not people, but horses.
Some people may say that the horses of these Tartars are all war horses. Shouldn’t war horses adapt to the explosions on the battlefield?
Indeed, war horses are adapted to many things on the battlefield. But the problem is that war horses adapt to the battlefield requires a cut-off. War horses of different periods have different standards.
When there is no firearm, the war horses do not have to adapt to the explosion sound of gunpowder. As the gunpowder is used more and more, adapting to the explosion sound is also a must for the war horses. But even so, this kind of explosion of one or two thousand kilograms of gunpowder is not within the range of training war horses.
The Tartars were poor as pants, and they did not have money, so they put so much gunpowder on the war horses.
The war horses could not adapt for a moment, and the explosion at such a distance became anxious. Of course, the Tartars were all good horse control players, and they felt the emotions of sitting down and trying to comfort them.
It seems that Zhou Mengchen just made a decision and did not do any physical work, but Zhou Mengchen's nerves that kept breaking down made his brain work all the time. He didn't feel it at that time, and everything was about to happen at this moment. Only then did Zhou Mengchen feel his hands and feet were weak and his stomach was bulging.
It was already past noon.
I ate a bite in the morning, but I haven't even drunk a sip of water yet. I just feel hungry and thirsty.
"Teacher." Qi Jiguang walked over with blood all over, took a water bag in his hand, took two cakes, and came to Zhou Mengchen, and handed the thing to Zhou Mengchen.
Seeing this, Zhou Mengchen had to admit that even though Zhou Mengchen did not know Qi Jiguang's future achievements, Zhou Mengchen would take care of Qi Jiguang's behavior alone. Without saying a word, Zhou Mengchen took a big drink of the water bag first, then felt refreshed, and a little bit higher, saying, "This is wine."
Qi Jiguang said: "This is what my father said. It's better to have a great battle. It's better to have a few sips of wine first."
Zhou Mengchen didn't know why there was such a statement, but it seemed that after drinking, his adaptability to bloody everywhere increased a lot. Zhou Mengchen drank while accompanying the big cake and ate it in a few seconds. After eating, he asked Qi Jiguang and said, "What's the situation now?"
Qi Jiguang paused slightly and said, "Today's victory is a victory, but this situation may not be very good. I can't explain it clearly for a while. Master, please go and take a look."
