Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bombardment of Yuzhou (1)
Zhu Cijiong originally wanted to use a coffin to blow up the city, but directly blew down the city wall of Yuzhou.
At this time, it seems that this big killer can continue to hide!
……
The rebels are under the city.
Wang Siyi's legs trembled, and with the support of his cronies, he went up to the city to take a look, only to see the black hole outside the city, the dark green military uniform, the black head, and his legs immediately weakened.
"Quick, quick, go back ...... old man"
Wang Si's translation is incoherent.
It's a nest of right and wrong!
If a cannon that doesn't have long eyes hits him, it's all over!
"Master, you give me a plan!"
General Li frowned.
He is a general, and it is true that he is the main general who defends Yuzhou.
However, in Yuzhou City, he can't command!
Without the approval of the governor of Yuzhou, if he requisitioned the people, it would be a big crime!
The Qing Chengming system, the balance strategy of the civil and military system, was all accepted by the Qing court.
Even, the power of these green camp military attaches has been weakened to the extreme......
"General Li, this official has handed over the responsibility of defense to you...... Over to you...... You have to defend the city......"
Wang Siyi's footsteps did not stop for a moment, and while fleeing towards the city, he said: "If you hold it, it will be the first meritorious ...... for the official to neglect you."
This fat pig!
General Li was so angry that he couldn't wait to cut Wang Siyi with a knife.
He thought for a moment and summoned his cronies: "Go and recruit strong men for me from house to house, no matter how many there are, bring me to the city!" ”
"Also, I sent someone to take over the state government treasury, let people cook, and brought me a pot full of rice! Give me a basket of copper coins in the treasury, and carry them up! ”
Don't look at General Li Shen who didn't let go of a shot and lost his baggage, but this person has also fought all his life.
He naturally knew that at this time, only by sparing money could the people play the greatest role - counting on the only three hundred soldiers left under his command to defend Yuzhou was a dream!
……
"Zhang Shiling, calculate the shooting yuan!"
Zhu Cijiong saw that the artillery had been arranged, and immediately roared.
Zhang Shiling took the theodolite, manipulated it, and after lowering his head and calculating the data, he said:
"At a distance of 316 meters, the muzzle of the gun should be raised by 32 degrees......"
The artillerymen hurriedly adjusted the muzzle of the gun according to the data calculated by Zhang Shiling.
Basins of clean water were placed under the gun carriage, and someone was holding a huge angle ruler to constantly correct the rising angle of the cannon.
"The first shot is complete, the second shot is completed......"
Zhang Shirong ran over and reported: "Your Highness, the artillery has been arranged in place. ”
Zhu Cijiong's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Xinyuan, the artillery is handed over to you, and I have lost the courage of the Qing soldiers!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Shirong's legs suddenly came together, his body stood straight, he slammed his fist into his chest, gave a military salute, and turned around and ran towards the artillery position.
"Interval seven, one shot test firing!"
Zhang Shirong yelled.
I saw the gunner at the first cannon, holding a torch, lit the fuse, and then quickly retreated, half-crouching on the ground.
"Bang!"
A ball of flame erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and I saw a fist-sized cannon erupt from the muzzle and fly obliquely into the sky.
The huge recoil force made the cuttings buried deep in the ground of the gun carriage creak with a loud sound, and the chains that restricted the movement of the gun carriage suddenly became straight......
As the first shells flew out, seven shells took off in turn.
Everyone's eyes followed the unrecognizable cannons in the sky and looked towards the city wall.
"Boom!"
The first cannonball slammed into the wall, shattering a thick piece of masonry.
The second shell flew over the wall and landed far inside the city.
The third shell smashed into the women's wall, shattering the masonry and knocking down several Qing soldiers around.
……
"The remaining artillery is fired three times in a row, and each cannon adjusts its own yuan!"
Seeing that the firing parameters were within a reasonable range, Zhang Shirong immediately gave the order to open fire.
Zhu Cijiong stretched out his hand and stroked a big guy beside him, his eyes fixed on the city gate opposite.
"Jiao San, reload!"
The artillery next to Zhu Cijiong is a medium-sized Hongyi cannon.
The casting time on the cannon body has been frustrated by the Qing soldiers.
The yang text is vaguely arguable, look at the inscription on it, it should be cast for the eleventh year of Chongzhen.
Jiao San cleaned the barrel with a bristle brush, first stuffed the lead in, then poured a bag of gunpowder into the barrel, compacted it with a strip, and stuffed an iron pellet the size of a melon from the muzzle.
Zhu Cijiong personally adjusted the angle with the angle ruler, and reached out to take the torch from the gunner's hand.
"Your Highness, I'll come!"
Jiao San was anxious, and he reached out to snatch the torch.
Even if this artillery is a piece of artillery, he has carefully examined it, but ...... Once it's blown up, it's over!
"The first shot of revenge, let Lone ignite it!"
Zhu Cijiong rejected Jiao San's kindness, and his face was firm.
There is no way back.
This time, if you can't take Yuzhou, you will block the "Five Realms and One Mouth" and "Nine Stops in the World" at Fangcheng Pass!
Then they won't be able to stop for long!
Jiao San was anxious, and hurriedly signaled to Zhang Shiling, wanting Zhang Shiling to persuade him...... How do you know that Zhu Cijiong has already lit the fuse with a torch.
"Retreat!"
But after seeing that the Third Highness lit the fuse, he immediately took three steps and made two steps, ran to the side of the hidden soldier pit behind the cannon, and pounced on it regardless of the image.
……
These gunners are all children of the three major families.
Only the disciples of the big family can read poetry and books to the fullest, and only then can they know how to calculate the angle.
Each of these people is an indispensable talent!
In order to prevent these baby bumps from being injured during the explosion, Zhu Cijiong deliberately told the idea of the artillery to avoid the pit.
With this extremely simple thing, the casualties caused by the explosion can be reduced to the extreme......
"Bang!"
I saw that the black muzzle of the cannon suddenly spewed out an iron ball, and the scorching tail flame flew out of the muzzle, and even burned the cannonball red......
Zhu Cijiong let out a sigh of relief and looked intently towards the city gate.
"Boom!"
The cannonballs smashed on the masonry at the lintel of the gate, and three or four pieces of masonry were immediately smashed into the lintel of the arched structure.
"Adjust the muzzle of the cannon and blast open the gates for me!"
Zhu Cijiong took a deep breath and ordered at the gunner.
It was enough to demonstrate it once, and he didn't want to run into a ......
The power of fifty artillery pieces is terrifying, not to mention that Zhu Cijiong's combat goal is to make the Qingmen of the city fearful, and the target of the artillery bombardment is the city head.
Yes, but after three rounds of shelling, the originally neat female wall on the head of the city has changed.
Even though these shells are only the size of a fist, they are not big guns.
However, after half a pillar of incense, the city was plowed over by an angry bull, and countless female walls were shattered, and the Qing soldiers on the city were killed and wounded.
