The application of gunpowder in the military will not break the original military system all at once, even if the troops equipped with artillery and muskets appear on a large scale, some cold weapons will actually still have their own stage, not that Liu Yan will disappear completely all of a sudden, and it can even be said that cold weapons will never disappear such as bayonets and daggers.
Historically, the appearance of muskets was in the Southern Song Dynasty, but the gunpowder at that time was not up to par, and then there were defects in the creation of muskets, 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 flamethrower, and what was fired was not a projectile, but some iron filings.
It's often a spooky thing that breathes fire and smoke, and it's not lethal when it's three or five paces away, and when you get close, it's about as effective as a shotgun.
It may be known that the actual combat application effect is poor, and the Southern Song Dynasty did not manufacture flamethrowers on a large scale, but preferred to study the "swarm of bees", a rocket with gunpowder as the thrust.
The so-called "swarm of bees" is actually the kind with a gunpowder booster device on the tail, which is equipped with some kind of specially built beehive, and after the fuse is lit, the gunpowder booster device has an effect, and then hundreds of thousands of arrows are quickly "boomed" and fired out.
In addition to the "swarm of bees", the Southern Song Dynasty also had "fire tribulus", a weapon similar to a grenade, 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, and the ingredients are not only saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, but also some inexplicable things.
The appearance of the "medicine puppet" originated from the alchemy failure of some alchemists and warlocks, and was used by Jianghu warlocks in the late Tang Dynasty to perform some fireworks displays.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, bronze cannons were also developed, which of course fired solid projectiles, but due to the lack of explosive thrust caused by the wrong gunpowder formula, the firing range was not long.
The gunpowder made by Liu Yan was directly to the stage of black powder, and the power of gunpowder was enough, but some smelting constraints made the development of gunpowder weapons not smooth, such as the wrong metal formula of the cast barrel that could not withstand the explosive force, and a good grenade became a porcelain jar charge.
Even a bronze cannon is not that simple, not to say that casting a cannon barrel is finished, but also to consider the heat resistance of the metal and the resistance of the related shock force, and the wind tunnel inside the barrel is also a science.
Anyway, it doesn't mean that there is a solid tube that can be filled with gunpowder for artillery, such a thing will only make a long, thick bomb, and the chance of being killed will be infinitely high.
The explosive package and porcelain canister grenade used by the Han army at this stage, the explosive package is purely to create damage by explosion, and there is no metal used to shoot in it, and the killing range is actually limited, and the maximum power is to kill or injure people with shock force and stones that are blown off and splashed by the explosion; Porcelain jar grenades are small explosive packets, the power after the explosion is not large, the range of the explosion wave is within one or two steps, mainly to kill and injure people with porcelain splashes.
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 imagined in terms of actually being killed and injured.
The main reason is that Murong Yanjun panics because of the fear of the unknown, and he will associate it with the power of ghosts and gods.
Before science was recognized, superstition would be a common phenomenon, especially in the Chinese cultural circle system, which was the ruler of the country as the Son of Heaven, and Confucianism also had a set of "heaven and man induction", which had been cultivated for a long time.
Therefore, as a Han army using gunpowder weapons, he firmly believes that he is favored by God, and Murong Yanjun, who is attacked by gunpowder weapons, will feel that he has been abandoned by God, and it must be that one side is brave and unmatched, and the other side is uneasy and panicked, and I am afraid that there is no need to say much about what the result will be.
The statistics of the war were delivered to Liu Yan at noon the next day.
In this battle, there were 14,000 corpses of Murong Yanjun's army that could be collected, and only about 800 of them could be identified from their wounds as having died of gunpowder, and the rest were still killed by cold weapons.
There must be some deceased who have not been found for a while, and there are also deceased who have been directly evaporated by gunpowder to the world, and the military newspaper will only make a general supplement later.
"The number of prisoners of war is more than 63,000, and more than 4,000 are seriously wounded."
Yuan Qiao didn't say that the lightly injured Murong Yanjun would also be disposed of later: "We guess that the enemy army should have about 30,000 people who managed to escape." ” The so-called treatment of the enemy's seriously wounded is nothing more than a good time.
There is no cruelty in doing this, no army will spend precious medicinal herbs on the ordinary soldiers of the enemy army, and giving a good pleasure is the greatest mercy.
"Including Murong Ke, 30,000 were escaped" Liu Yan didn't ask for anything too much, the big victory was built in a hurry, although he was prepared, it was still insufficient.
He put down the utensils in his hand, changed to a precarious position, and asked, "What about our casualties?"
Yuan Qiao didn't look at the wooden calf in his hand, and replied: "Two thousand one hundred and seventeen people were killed in battle, including one captain, one military marquis, and four other horses.
There were 301 seriously wounded, and the number of lightly wounded who did not affect the continuation of the battle was not counted. ” Any victory has a price, especially in the era of cold weapons, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 is the mainstream, and destroying 10,000 enemies and losing only 1,000 soldiers can definitely be called a strong army in the world.
In the early stage of the Han army's confrontation with the enemy, the casualty ratio was often five to one, and the ratio rose to seven to one three years later.
"It's almost six to one" Liu Yan can still accept this data: "In the forest battle, the battle formation we are good at has not been opened, and the result of the battle loss ratio is acceptable." ” In fact, the army of the Chinese civilization fought with foreign races, as long as it could be put in formation, even if it was defeated, the casualties would not be too ugly, and the exaggerated number of casualties occurred in the process of routing and being hunted down, and generally more people were trampled to death by themselves than killed by the enemy.
Their army used gunpowder to cause the collapse of Murong Yan's army, but they pursued it in the forest, and many advantages were basically not shown.
The Han army did not pay enough attention to the combat power of individual soldiers, and what was attached importance was the cooperation and coordination of the military formation, and it was reasonable for Murong Yanjun, who was forced to hurry, to death some of the pursuing soldiers.
In fact, Murong Yanguo is now in the rising stage, most of the soldiers in the army are experienced in a hundred battles, especially in the northeastern countries to find self-confidence, panic is panicked, there are examples of the Han army killing the people in a big way, the fierce Murong Yan army feels that it will not be able to escape and will definitely fight back, most of the Han soldiers who died died under the decisive counterattack of those people.
"If we don't have firearms, and we fight Murong Xianbei in the open field, our casualties will be even more serious."
Sang Yu didn't come over for a long time, he was qualified to check the casualty data of this battle, and after reading it, he finished speaking in a reasonable tone, and then said with some pride: "But the final victor 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 Yan.
Last night's information about the northern front and the rest of the area had been gathered, and the victory or defeat of the Qiushui battlefield appeared much faster than expected, and the army of the northern front had cut off the communication in addition to having captured Liucheng, and the eastern front of Lu Tai's headquarters was stabilized on the Majieshui line.
If this trend continues, the army led by Liu Yanqin will not be able to join forces with the army of the northern front in more than two days, and will sweep away Yuyang County, Beiping County, and Liaoxi County in one fell swoop, and directly march into Changli County, the county where Yongseong is located.
"Liucheng is the front acropolis of Dragon City, and it was only defeated by the First World War."
After Ji Chang came over, he looked at the known information again very rigorously, looked up at Liu Yan, and said, "Murong Xianbei's evacuation speed is faster than we expected. ” "Xianbei was born by grass, and it was not long to settle in the land, and most of the people in China maintained a nomadic posture except for the Jin people."
Sang Yu stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "This is within our calculations. ” "If you want me to say, if you can destroy more, you can't let it go."
Xu Zheng danced the leg of mutton in his hand, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said with difficulty while smashing his chest: "I just want to leave some opponents who practice hands, aren't there still Rou Ran and Ding Ling." ” Destroying Yan must be destroyed, but the difficulty of complete annihilation is not ordinarily high, so when formulating the battle plan, the Han State did not expect to completely eliminate Murong Xianbei, or judged in advance that there would be a certain number of Murong Xianbei to complete the evacuation.
Liu Yan knew that the country could not be invincible, and since he could not completely eliminate Murong Xianbei, he would fight with the most lethal target.
The general deliberately left the enemy army to raise tigers, and the state deliberately left the enemy country as a kind of strategic deployment.
A truly wise leader never wants the whole world to be full of friends, and even if it is to create an enemy country, not to spur himself on, but to keep the people from having a complete sense of crisis.
In the next long time, the Han State will enter a period of development of internal affairs, but it can't really be a horse to put Nanshan swords and guns into storage, even if it is to remind the people that "born in sorrow and die in peace" still needs to have the existence of enemies, and the army also needs to maintain combat effectiveness in a series of continuous battles, 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 did not mean that he would give up on completely eliminating Murong Xianbei, and he did not even intend to let go of that Tuoba Xianbei, waiting for it to be annihilated before going west.
Not only Murong Xianbei, but also Rouran and Donggaoche entrenched in Mobei, Xigaoche in the northwest area of Zhuoyi Mountain, naturally there are no shortage of Di and Qiang on the other side of the basin and those who escaped from the Central Plains, Liu Yan has no intention of staying to stage the drama of "spring breeze blowing and rebirth".
"Practice" Xu Zheng pouted: "It's not that a certain person looks down on Rou Ran and Ding Ling, they are not the same level as Xianbei at all." ” It's not a good word, but it's really the truth, and now the closer the Eastern world is to the Central Plains, the stronger the national strength is, which is mainly reflected in the national structure and science and technology.
Rouran and Ding Ling are a kind of people who tend to be primitive, and believe it or not, most people are still using stone tools without mastering smelting technology It is not an exaggeration to say that not only the Rouran people and Ding Ling people, but also the nations that have not mastered the metal smelting technology are a large number, and the nations that have mastered smelting on the island of the world do not exceed ten fingers, and the countries with technology and sufficient population are all big countries, and the rest are basically still drinking blood, and they have not even reached the stage of slash-and-burn farming.
It may be funny to say, the world island is already very good, South America and North America did not enter the Bronze Age in the sixteenth century, the result is that when the white people entered the great colonial period, the indigenous people were basically finished, and the Mayans were wiped out by the germs brought by Europe.
So, there are only a handful of true natives in modern North and South America, and mestizos are the mainstream.
Africa needs no words.
"The prisoners of war were killed in ten strokes, and then transported to the Liaodong Peninsula first."
Liu Yan was not a bloody madman, and it was a universal practice to kill the captives one out of ten, but the Romans strictly enforced it until the country was destroyed.
He walked to the shelf where the map of the mountains and rivers was hung, pointed to several areas, gave some orders, and finally said: "The next war will not be personally involved. ” No one has any opinions, Murong Yanguo's Western Route Army collapsed, and the Han Army was also under Longcheng, and the subsequent development of the battle situation was to enter the stage of division and elimination, even if there was a battle, it would be against the Eastern Route Army led by Murong Jun.
And if Murong Jun is not stupid, he knows that Murong Ke's Western Route Army is finished, and he should leave the girl and enter the escape stage.
"Is it Dingxiang's business" Ran Min opened the curtain of the tent, and before he came in, he saluted Liu Yan and said impatiently: "Six days ago, the Longteng Guards began to try to counterattack, did Shi Hu die and wanted to break through, or did Shi Hu not die to break through" There was a long-term siege by the Han army in Dingxiang, and after the end of the war between Bingzhou and Shuozhou, Li Tan has been personally sitting in the town.
What Liu Yan smelled in his nose was a strong smell of blood, and the source was Ran Min, who was covered in blood.
Sang Yu and Ran Min have always been on the wrong path, so they said: "Hussar General, at least freshen up first" "It's just that you soft guy who hasn't been on the battlefield can't stand it."
Ran Min was not polite at all, and after spraying Sangyu's face, he ignored it and looked at Liu Yan again: "Your Majesty, if you want to go to Dingxiang, please allow the last general to follow." ” Liu Yan felt a little surprised, not that Ran Min actually knew the news from Dingxiang, but that Ran Min was going to miss the final battle of Yan Yan.
It's just that he was relieved after thinking about it a little, the entanglement between Ran Min and Shiqian Zhao Guo is difficult to explain clearly, but he will never miss the stage that will bring Shijiao Zhao Guo to an end
