Chapter 295 Hang Gai
The legs of the iron-hoofed horses from Mongolian grassland with oblique bangs and small eyes are extremely strong. Although they are not nailed to horseshoes, the two horses pull a 300-pound Franc machine cannon and shuttle the pebbles on the riverside like walking on flat ground. This is exactly the origin of their name.
Like their hometown, this place is Wuliyanghai and Hanggai.
It is a world with blue sky, white clouds, grasslands, rivers, mountains and woods.
Of course there is also a solemn military formation and the flying red sun flag of the dragon inlaid.
The flag-armed music, a horse-headed horse-headed horse-drawn music, shouted the horse-dressing notes mixed with Chinese and Mongolian languages, and directed twenty-four strong horses to make arrogant moves upstream of the turbulent river, swung their long ponytails and faced their butts against the enemy formation.
The twelve Franco cannons unloaded from two French armed merchant ships were arranged.
The Black Cloud Dragon did not ride a horse, and his Central Military Camp stood on the south bank of the upper reaches. The Liaodong Guangning Guard General, wearing blue cloth armor, raised his hand to untie the iron armor that protected his neck tightly. He picked up the telescope and looked at the Sancha River downstream. He quickly put down the telescope, sucked his teeth and said, "It's a bit far away."
Suddenly he turned his head, raised his fingers and asked the Baihu, the artillerymen under his command, "Can you do it?"
The hundred artillery houses in standard Beiyang officers picked up their fists, and the sound of the iron arms colliding was clear, saying, "Go back to Shuai, seven hundred steps away, but we are tall, and we can hit the enemy camp at the fourth degree with the cannon ruler, and cover it."
What he wanted to say was to cover the Iroquois downstream crossing the river to attack, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Black Cloud Dragon.
"I know it's high here. I'm asking the artifacts, can they work?"
Heiyunlong raised his hand and pointed: "It's all old cannons, don't blow up the chamber and hurt the soldiers."
"If it really doesn't work, according to the boy Hulan, he is building a dam behind him. We have more time. At most, we can let Haifasha build two more dams in front of him, and flood the broken camp."
The artillery households chuckled after hearing this and said, "I have let go of my humble duties, and it is not bad. Look at the words engraved on it, it seems to be made by the French and French, which is much better than the Franchise in the Western Kingdom."
"It's not simple. Let the front army who followed the tiger to squat and be careful. It would be great if any country in this world can build a cannon."
Black Cloud Dragon is telling the truth. In this era, it is already amazing that any country can build a Franca cannon well. Although this thing has no technical content, it tests the craftsman's ability and work attitude the most.
Because it leaks if it is not done well.
It doesn’t mean that if you make it well, you won’t leak. If you make it well, you will leak, but if you make it less leak.
For example, muskets are leaking. No matter which country your country's bird gun, fuse, wheel, or flintlock, no matter how well they are made, you have to leave a hole in the medicine pool, and then it will leak.
But if the leak is well created, the power can also be guaranteed.
While speaking, the Mongolian horse in front had been pulled away, and more than twenty Spanish donkeys behind continued to move forward. Some were carrying a Firan machine gun on their backs, and one donkey was carrying six Firan guns; some were pulling wooden carts, and the small round barrels on the cart were filled with gunpowder, gunpowder, and shells that were taken out by Black Cloud Dragon's subordinates on the road, which were specially used for this batch of Firan machine guns.
In terms of gunpowder reserves, Black Cloud Dragon is much richer than Hulan on the other side of the river. The gunpowder reserves on two French ships alone are enough for his subordinates to fight a few battles. When the coast is approaching, Hexingsheng's merchant ship can still deliver them to him.
Li Yuxi sent the Iroquois warriors from the Haifasha tribe to the Gulf of Mexico a while ago at the Anhai Business Name under Hexing Sheng. Black Cloud Dragon asked them to come back and pull some gunpowder from Mexico.
Deng Zilong of the Qilin Guard on the east coast of Panama suffered from the difficulty of the ship transferring from the west coast to the east coast. However, more and more merchant ships have been built by merchants, and soon the entire coastline will be dominated by the Eastern Military Palace.
The most interesting thing here is that before the Li Yu Xi'anhai merchants were awarded the warships in the Dongyang Military Palace, they had two 600-material warship escort routes.
This ship did not come from the Ming Dynasty but had the same bloodline. It was a flying shark from Yang Ce that was directly harvested from the Spanish plantation and broken corn kernels from the Han Dynasty that were painted in blue and white.
The French ships use Francophones instead of mattressing wood, but use an iron valve connected to the cannon with a long iron chain to jamm the gun. It looks weird and exquisite.
The Black Cloud Dragon looked around with a telescope on the river bank again, and finally raised his hand and waved it lightly, saying, "Let's go, the emperor, Yazhou, how can the wild people go wild?"
The red flag was waving, the war drums were beating again, and twelve Franco cannons were the first to bombard the Montreal camp on the upper riverside.
This is a signal. The soldiers of the Iroquois League surrounding the east bank of the river moved when they heard the sound. With the loud battle cry, the crudely processed canoe on the rocky beach was lifted into the turbulent water. The warriors of various tribes carried weapons and crossed the boat.
Small shells flew into the camp, and bombarded the wooden fences with inertia were almost useless, but the shells landed outside the camp really forced the Ottawa soldiers who had just run out of the camp back.
The Fran machine cannons in the camp also tried to bombard the artillery position where the Black Cloud Dragon was. The three shells were raised high, but they were not as far as the slope of the river and landed far away 200 steps away from the central army. Then several scattered shells bombed towards the Iroquoi canoe in the river, but it was difficult to achieve effective results.
This incompetent fury made the Black Cloud Dragon, who was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fighting, and raised his arms and said to the left and right: "The natives themselves don't know where the wooden boat will be washed by the river. Can you tell you to get the right one?"
When the gunners in the camp made up their minds to adjust the angle and prepared to bombard the enemies who were scattered ashore, the Black Cloud Dragon's shells attacked again. This time, they already knew where their artillery was and aimed directly at the passing ones.
Even if the shooting is not accurate, the shells landed not far away, and the flying stones splashed out even scratched the gunner's face. How could they still aim at and fire them calmly? I don't know where the shooting number of shells has been tilted.
Iroquo, who successfully landed, was like a surging wave, and he stepped down to attack the camp.
They brought large shields painted with gods, which looked quite thick with the Ming Dynasty's chariot signs, and they could not penetrate the bows and arrows or muskets. But they had no horses or wheels. This thing was carried by two high and powerful soldiers.
The tribal warriors radiating fighting fanaticism in front rushed out, and the big shield behind them was still moving slowly. He saw Black Cloud Dragon anxious. Then he saw more than ten armored cavalry with spears on both sides of the camp. While the Iroquois had not formed a formation, they strangled the vanguard one left and one right towards the vanguard.
The spear stabbed and the horses rammed, and they fought out a bloody road outside the camp. They rushed back and forth with just over thirty cavalrymen. The bows and arrows of the indigenous people could not cause damage to them. I don’t know how many flying axes were thrown out, but the hits were all their own people.
The Black Cloud Dragon, who was observing the situation, couldn't help but sigh.
Even if some riders' spears break during the charge, they can still pull out a long sword from the saddle and slash it. When they run away, they can also take out a long-tube gun with complex structure and fire a gun.
It seemed that it was not a solution to be shot in the camp. The camp gate opened immediately, and hundreds of Ottawa soldiers in dense formations rushed out, replacing the cavalry and returning to the gap between the two sides of the camp to replace the spears and muskets.
Before the indigenous people on both sides had traded troops, the two teams of cavalry replaced with new spears and rushed back on war horses again, as if they wanted to use the same trick again.
"You have cavalry?"
Black Cloud Dragon looked at him from afar, his eyes kept searching on the battlefield, and murmured: "Where is Hei's artillery team?"
Suddenly, I don't know what happened to the central army in Haifasha. The infantry in front retreated to the shore as if defeated by a rider, allowing the French merchant cavalry team on both wings to see the hope of victory. The charge became more and more brave, as if they were going to kill the Iroquois army formation.
When the infantry retreated halfway, the leader of the chasing the most fierce knight suddenly stopped his horse. The front hooves of the war horse were raised high, and the rear hooves plowed half a foot long mark on the ground.
In front of him, a team of squads that were completely different from the Iroquois were waiting for them to charge, with spears five-foot-and-five forming small square formations. The front spearmen used the Spanish holding spears. The spearmen wearing hats, helmets and breastplates stepped on the tail of the spear with their right foot and held the spears in both hands.
The spearmen in the second row used the battle formation spear technique, and the thick spear end was pushed on the left thigh that came out of the lunge, listing the rigorous battle formation.
Behind them were three platoons of infantry carrying bird guns, and they fired the guns at the command of the officer in the middle.
This is not the thing that makes the riders most afraid. What they are most afraid of is the wings of the square formation. The Iroquoi spearmen formed two smaller and looser square formations. The exotic warriors wearing helmets in the middle were squatting on the ground and handling something. Suddenly, shouting came from the military formation, one left and one right, and the Iroquoi warriors standing in front dispersed.
The inside doors were exposed, which were wide, short and thick, like a little tiger squatting on the ground.
