This story may or may not be. Even if there is, it is impossible for 1,500 cavalry to be suppressed by a machine gun. It must be that a large number of details will be deleted, leaving only such a gimmick. How can one quickly pull out 1,500 cavalry at once?
However, technical theory is undesirable. A new weapon may change the situation of war, but the result of the war will inevitably require other factors.
What is a high-level civilization? It cannot be divided according to technology. You cannot say that you are a stone civilization, I am a bronze civilization, and I am a higher level than you. What does it mean to destroy you have to do with you? It sounds very domineering, but this should not be said by civilized people.
Civilization should not just use changes in tools or weapons, but other things. We cannot think that I am a bronze civilization and have not easily eliminated you, a stone civilization, because the gap is too small. If I am an iron civilization, it should be very easy. If it doesn't work, then I am a gunpowder civilization. This idea actually ignores the more important things of civilization.
In my previous lives, due to the changes of the times, people were not serious about knowledge, and people often used such specious examples. Or, in order to attract attention, they deliberately popularized some knowledge that looked right but did not explain it clearly.
For example, when people introduce their own family, they will talk about the poor family. Some people come out to popularize science and say that in ancient times, not everyone could call them poor families. Some people even say that in ancient times, you were not qualified to call them poor families.
What dynasty was there in ancient times? How long did it take, and which dynasty could not call itself a poor family? When did ordinary people not have the right to call it a poor family? After the Tang Dynasty, the family disappeared, and most people could of course call it a poor family. But wasn't the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties?
History is already very complicated, and future generations should not make complex history seem plausible for this and that reason.
After carefully looking at the cannon, Zhe Yanzhi said, "I heard that cannons can shoot iron balls. I wonder how they shot them?"
Wang Ruohai said: "Everyone is far away from the artillery and let the gunner fire one shot."
When Zhe Yanzhi left, Wang Ruohai ordered some simple wooden dolls to be placed one mile away and ordered the gunner to charge the medicine.
Seeing the gunner opening the porcelain jar on one side and pouring out the cannon. Zhe Yan asked, "Senator, what is this? It should be gunpowder, right?"
Wang Ruohai said: "That's right. The gunpowder used for artillery is different from those used for fireworks. Don't mess it up."
Zhe Yanzhi nodded, not knowing what the difference was, but just remember it in his heart.
Filled the gunpowder, loaded the iron bullet, and the gunner took the red iron bars.
The commander on one side raised the small flag in his hand and turned to look at Wang Ruohai, Zhe Yanzhi and others.
Wang Ruohai said: "When the artillery is fired, the earth will inevitably shake. Be careful."
After saying that, he nodded to the commander.
The commander took out the whistle, put it in his mouth, and blew it suddenly. As the whistle sounded, the small flag in his hand quickly slashed down.
The gunner nodded with the iron bar and saw black smoke rising.
Zhe Yanzhi was waiting with great fear, not knowing when he was waiting. He felt a little anxious just now, and a muffled sound was heard. The iron ball in the cannon barrel quickly ran out of the muzzle and flew straight towards the wooden doll a mile away. Then, black smoke rose above the cannon, and a smell of gunpowder filled the surroundings.
