Empty Camp Scheme

Two hundred Ming troops fired in one volley, fighting the fiercest cavalry.

But they were numerous, and the people behind them rushed up immediately.

"Take a grenade and retreat immediately after throwing it."

At the command of the Baihu, two hundred grenades flew towards the rushing Kazakh Khanate cavalry.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

"Boom..."

With the explosion of the grenade, the Kazakh Khanate cavalry in front of him were blown upside down.

The cavalry behind had no time to control the war horses to avoid it, but many of the cavalry rushing up behind were mixed up by their own horses.

Where have the Kazakh Khanate cavalry seen grenades? They don’t understand why an iron lump has such a great lethality, and they are a little panicked for a moment.

"Don't retreat, Cheng Ming army has not yet set off and rushed in quickly. Those who retreat will rectify the Dharma on the spot..."

When the Kazakh Khanate cavalry General Qian saw that his subordinates had suffered hundreds of casualties as soon as they launched a charge, they immediately sent a quick attack.

"Bang bang..."

The two hundred Ming troops were not outdone. They raised their guns and pulled the trigger to shoot the Kazakh cavalry who rushed into the range. They killed more than 100 people in one round of volleys, but they had no time to load bullets and immediately turned around and ran into the military camp.

"Run..."

Seeing that the Ming army was not blocking, he actually entered the military camp. The Kazakh Cavalry Thousand General Luosangke urged his horse to rush forward to the Ming army camp, but he could not enter the military camp immediately. There were not only trenches in front of the camp gate but also pointed wooden fences.

If the cavalry rushes hard, the trench war horses can jump past, but the pointed wooden stakes can make the war horses feel cool.

There was no way, Lausank could only order the cavalry to dismount and destroy the pointed wooden stakes.

At the command of Lausank, more than a hundred dismounted and picked up big axes to destroy the Ming army's wooden fence. However, as soon as they walked to the wooden fence, an explosion occurred at their feet again, and more than one hundred Kazakh soldiers were killed on the spot.

Lausank's face turned blue, and he waved his hand and shouted:

"Quick, two hundred people come up..."

There was no explosion this time, and soon the obstacles in front of the camp were cleaned up by the Kazakh cavalry. More than a thousand troops immediately rushed into the Ming army camp, and at the same time threw the torches in their hands into the Ming army camp.

The military camp tent quickly ignited, and the fire spread rapidly with the strong wind, and the Kazakh cavalry also took advantage of the situation to attack the Ming army's central tent, their target was the Ming general.

But when they were asked to reach the central army's tent, they found that there was no one, and even the hundreds of soldiers just now disappeared.

Shadal is not stupid, but also a veteran who has experienced many battles. Seeing this, he immediately realized that he had been fooled. It was obvious that Ming Jun was playing an empty city plan, so he hurriedly shouted:

"Retreat quickly, we've fallen into the trap..."

Almost all ten thousand Kazakh cavalry entered the Ming army camp. When they heard the order to retreat, they immediately turned their horses and prepared to retreat, but it was too late. Suddenly, fierce gunfire and cannon sounded around the barracks.

"Bang bang..."

Countless flowering bullets were shot into the military camp by tiger squatting cannons, and the Kazakh cavalry could only passively be bombed. One of the flowering bullets was not far from Shadar. He saw five of the bombs flying with his own eyes, and Shadar's face turned blue.

"What's so powerful? Throw it back..."

He immediately ordered a soldier to pick up a flowering bullet that had not yet exploded and was about to throw it to the Ming army. Suddenly, the flowering bullet exploded.

"Bang..."

During the Ming Dynasty's foreign war, flowering bullets were used many times, especially naval artillery. When several naval wars were fought with Western countries, they were used, which aroused the attention of Western countries to this killing weapon.

At the beginning, at the World Conference of the Five Kingdoms of the Ming, Britain, France, Spain and the Netherlands held every three years, the other four countries unanimously demanded that the Ming Dynasty should not use flowering bullets, and called on the Ming Dynasty to disarmament and destroy the Dongfeng Rockets, on the grounds of maintaining world peace...

The four European powers have been lying for several years. The Ming Dynasty not only ignored them, but also continued to increase troops to North Africa and Portugal, and arranged artillery battalions and rocket battalions.

Faced with the toughness of the Ming Dynasty, the four countries began to try every means to develop the technology. They sent missions to the Ming Dynasty many times, giving gifts and licking, and they had not obtained the technology for several years.

Stunning one's own people has always been the traditional skill of the British Empire. Without surprise, this technology was secretly sold by a certain nobleman in the military!

It seemed that overnight, the entire Europe had the flowering bullet technology. Even the Tsarist Russia, which was eager to join the top five in the world, obtained this technology and stepped up production and deployed it in the army.

Tsar Alexey I also established artillery troops, each artillery company with 120 people equipped with ten artillery guns.

After continuous improvement of the flowering bullet technology in Europe, its performance is almost the same as in the past of the Ming Dynasty.

However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty and the Shenwu Army had gradually installed yellow explosives that were more powerful than black gunpowder...

With the crazy bombardment of the Russian artillery array, a major earthquake occurred in the Ming army's bunker.

Cui Xiang felt the whole earth trembling, and opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly: "Let's read your ears with cotton cloth, and open your mouth all!"

According to the definition of the National Rifle Association (NRA): a British military warhead developed at the Damdam Arsenal in India, which was used in 1897 and 1898 on the northwest border of India and Sudan. The caliber was 303 inches, and the metal shell did not completely cover the front end of the warhead, and its lead core was exposed to increase lethality. It was not further improved because the use of such bullets in war was prohibited shortly after the Hague Convention (1899).

The word "Dum bullet" is often misused as all transformed bullets. A simple compilation is as follows:

Soft-headed warhead: It is easier to stir after hitting into the target's body.

Hollow warhead: Same as above, if four grooves that are easily broken are added on it, it becomes commonly known as flowering bullets. In addition to stirring, it will also cause more serious lacerations in the target body.

Explosive warhead: The hollow warhead contains fuses and gunpowder, which will explode after hitting the target's body.

Because it is common to call it "Dam bomb" in mass communication media, whether it has become a "conventional" error and becomes a broad definition of Dam bomb remains to be verified by history. After long-term improvement, the above-mentioned various deformation warheads are often better than Dam bomb in various aspects, and have also become a possible product of professional military factories. In addition to underground arsenals, it is generally difficult to see the production of Dam bombs that have entered history.

Name source

The name of the Dam ammunition comes from his origin, the British Arsenal in the town of Dam ammunition near Kolkata, India. Historical Dam ammunition appeared in 1897 and was designed and developed by Captain Klay, the chief of the arsenal military. He removed the tip of the 7.7mm ammunition and exposed the lead core, and became the famous Dam ammunition. Since then, many different types, different calibers and similar properties have appeared. For example, Dam ammunition with cross cuts or several longitudinal cracks at the tip of the warhead shell, a vertical hole in the front of the warhead or a thin metal tube is placed in the hole, and a soft warhead with lead or other materials made of soft warheads without a warhead shell, etc.

develop

At the end of the 19th century, the British ammunition was manufactured by the Dam Arsenal near Kolkata, India, and was named after it. Designed by the military director Captain B. Klay, and was first used in the British-British War (1899-1902). Later, many ammunitions with different calibers, different structures and similar performances appeared, all of which were called Dam Arsenal.
