Chapter 2893: White Bone Qingxiao Blood Dawn

Therefore, although the Mongols lagged behind the Jin Dynasty in the development of firearms, the artillery they made was on the right path from the beginning.

Although their casting technology is not exquisite and the things they create are very rough, they are much stronger than the Jin Dynasty Fire Dragon Cannon in terms of strength, and they are more than twice as powerful.

The shotguns fired by these Mongolian artillery can reach about 250 meters in damage.

The projectile can run through several heavy armored cavalry within a distance of 100 meters.

The reason is that the body of the Mongolian army's iron cannon is thick enough to withstand greater chamber pressure.

Moreover, there are many benefits of this kind of iron cannon. For example, although it is rough, it is very difficult to destroy. Even if the cannon stand is blown by a flowering bullet, as long as the Mongolian army drags it back and makes a wooden cannon stand again, it can be used tomorrow and will be dragged back to the battlefield.

Because of the thick iron cannon, it is difficult to blow up the shrapnel of the flowering shell.

At the same time, because these iron cannons are rough, they are a little more or less when loading gunpowder. The shells used are three rounds and four not flat, and there is no problem even if the tolerance is extremely large.

This just fits the characteristics of Mongolian soldiers' extremely low level of education and difficulty in accurately measuring the artillery fire.

Therefore, although this Mongolian army iron artillery can only reach five or six hundred meters in range, and can only fire two types of shells, solid shells and shotguns, which is simply incomparable to Tongzhou army artillery, it is still a successful and effective weapon.

...At this moment, Shen Mo looked at the enemy artillery below and was secretly surprised by the progress of the Mongolian army in developing firearms.

In fact, in addition to being powerful in war, the Mongols were simply difficult to compare with the Song Dynasty in terms of literature, art, science and technology.

However, when they developed weapons, they had many advantages.

The most obvious one here is that no matter where Temujin invades, he attaches great importance to the collection of craftsmen and scholars.

It is these craftsmen and scholars who have been captured from all over the world to the grasslands that have almost gathered the essence of all the craftsmanship and science of this era! This has enabled the Mongolian army to easily break through technical barriers when developing weapons.

At the same time, the Mongols are good at fighting and are also very advanced in military thinking.

Therefore, the weapons they made were almost useless, complicated and useless.

Instead, they can play a role by taking it on the battlefield, which is another place for them to succeed.

Of course, in Ling Xiaozi's words, the Mongols still have a long way to go.

Now that Shen Mo is present in the Song Dynasty, he not only has the weapons manufacturing ideas that later generations have refined in wars.

It also trained a group of weapon designers who learn modern science and technology and are proficient in design experiments.

What's more, Tongzhou's craftsmanship and financial reserves are also amazingly advantageous.

So the Mongolians just let the horse chase after them. There are countless peaks waiting for them in front of them! Just like this battle, it is a competition of advanced weapons and backward equipment, and it is also the best stage for the Mongolians to see artillery tactics!... At this time, the Mongolian army's artillery below must be arranged in place, and Shen Mo is about to start a counterattack.

But at this time, a group of people happened to come from the city to the top of Gubeikou City.

As soon as Shen Mo saw the person coming, he knew what was going on.

According to his order, Li Muyuan had led 10,000 Lin'an troops to Gubeikou.

Of course, Li Muyuan's large army was still not entering the city south of Gubeikou. Li Muyuan himself took Shi Tianze who had just surrendered and entered the city wall.

At this time, the situation in the city was tense, and Shen Mo could not have a long talk with Shi Tianze.

After Li Muyuan introduced Shi Tianze to him, Shen Mo immediately smiled at Shi Tianze and said, "Runfu (Shi Tianze's name) is both literary and military, filial and friendly, loyal, honest and loyal, and has great abilities. He is a minister of the ancient country! It's a great joy to come to join us today... I'm going to command the battle now, please wait for us to talk about it in detail."

As he said that, Shen Mo immediately turned around and ordered his artillerymen to open fire! But Shen Mo did not expect that his few short words shocked Shi Tianze and stood on the spot!... Although Shen Mo said the few words just now, these short words were a high summary of Shi Tianze's life by the historical community in later generations, and it can be said that it was a portrayal of his character.

Now that Shen Mo said these words, it immediately proved that the commander not only knew Shi Tianze very well, but also valued him very much.

This immediately made Shi Tianze feel shocked and grateful... In just a few words, he found that the Tongzhou commander was young but extraordinary, and looked unconventional and had no trace of decay on his body! Shi Tianze is the best at judging the momentum, so how could his eyesight be given in vain?

He could see at a glance that this Tongzhou commander had a special demeanor that was different from everyone in this world.

Even Shi Tianze himself is hard to describe. Not only does this young commander do not have the arrogance and conceit that is common in high-ranking and powerful people, but is as gentle as jade and seems to have extremely high cultivation.

But his words and actions revealed an unspeakable domineering and confidence... Shi Tianze thought for a long time and felt that he had never seen such a person before! Before Shi Tianze could come back to his senses, the cannons on the top of the city suddenly emitted a roar of earth-shaking roar!... After Shen Mo occupied Gubeikou, Zhao Jinding, in the rear, immediately transported a large number of cannons here.

Now, there are 128 32-pound army heavy artillery in Shen Mo's hands, and 128 16-pound mountain infantry light artillery, with the total number of artillery reached 256.

When these artillery began to roar, just a volley shot made people feel a sense of the arrival of heaven! Shi Tianze only felt that the city wall under his feet was trembling. The last time he felt this feeling was at the moment when the Hejian Mansion wall was blasted and collapsed.

At this moment, the Tongzhou military cannons roared in one roar, and the row of cannons that could not be seen on the city wall were all spewed out one or two meters long dazzling fire! Like countless angry dragons roaring, the white smoke and smoke smell that came out after the gunpowder burned, instantly spreading the entire city.

This is Tongzhou firearm! When Shi Tianze saw this scene, he was so shocked that his tongue was spit out! He had never seen Tongzhou firearms.

Those siege rockets that emit sharp roars, grenades that could sweep more than ten warriors with an explosion, and rifles that far exceed the range of bows and arrows, all made Shi Tianze particularly envious.

But when he saw the cannons fired, his heart was shocked.

He thought for a long time and couldn't give this kind of artillery a suitable name.
