On the defense line of Jade Emperor Mountain, looking at the Shun army all over the field, Wan Junjie of the Shenwu Army shot a cold light in his face, and said coldly: "Banmen get an axe!" Come on well and be baptized by artillery fire! ”

Looking at the artillery lineup on the opposite side, the hearts of all the gunners of the Shenwu Army gradually relaxed.

The Hongyi cannon of the Shenwu Army can fight three or four miles, and the ordinary Hongyi cannon with small arms and legs of the Shun Army on the opposite side can only hit one or two miles, and the Shenwu Army will do them like abusing children, so that they can't fight back.

In the sound of passionate war drums, Wu Wei Bo Wan Junjie's face sank, and he shouted: "All artillery positions are ready!" Let all the enemies see, in this world, who dares to play with fire and artillery in front of our Shenwu army! ”

The bells of the officers of the Shenwu Army rang one after another: "Prepare for battle!" ”

The artillerymen are all in good spirits, and they are treated as the best in all armies, and they have a sense of arrogance on their bodies, and when they see those peers on the opposite side, they want to bully them more and teach them the correct posture of fighting artillery.

The observers of the Shenwu Army constantly observed the distance of the enemy approach, and reported loudly: "The enemy army is 1,100 paces away!" ”

The black-pressed Shun army was slowly approaching, and there were many Shun soldiers in the middle who were struggling to push the artillery.

"The enemy is a thousand paces away!"

"All the artillery of the first and second battalions aim autonomously and knock out the artillery of the thieves, and the rest of the battalions are ready to fire a salvo of platoon artillery!"

Immediately, the sound of squeaky metal sounded, and the gunners of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, which had the highest hit rate, constantly adjusted the angle of their guns and aimed at their respective targets.

"The enemy army is eight hundred paces away!"

Wan Junjie immediately ordered: "Fire!" ”

Violent and tight cannon sounds came one after another, and the three hundred Hongyi cannons on the defense line of Yuhuang Mountain opened fire in unison, and the mountain was instantly spread by a large area of rising gunsmoke.

Dense shells smashed into the dense formation of the Shun army, almost from the front to the back of the formation, and in a terrible scream, smashed through the chest and head along the way, taking away large pieces of arms and thighs.

A solid iron ball weighing more than ten pounds accurately hit a advancing Shunjun artillery car, and in a loud bang, the gun carriage of the gun truck was smashed into pieces, and the wheels flew seven or eight meters away, smashing over several innocent people.

The heavy cannon body rolled to the ground, and it overwhelmed several Shunjun gunners around them, and they rolled to the ground one by one and howled loudly, just like the acting skills of later generations.

Some of the Shun gunners inhaled cold air, this has not yet reached the range of the artillery to book the gun position, why did the opposite side come over with a shuttle? The hit rate is still so high?

The artillery of the Shenwu Army has a cannon mirror, which is from the hand of Bo Jue, an academician of the Machinery Manufacturing Department of the Royal Academy of Sciences, who studied the cannon mirror as early as the eighth year of Chongzhen.

At that time, the thieves were preparing to attack Anqing, and Zhang Guowei, who was the governor of the Ten Prefectures at the time, found this mechanical manufacturing expert, and Bo Jue made a bronze cannon equipped with a clairvoyant mirror, and made firearms, ground crossbows and other instruments to assist the Anqing defenders to defeat the Liukou.

At that time, the governor Zhang Guowei recommended Bo Jue to the imperial court, but Bo Jue witnessed the corruption of officialdom and was unwilling to be an official, and finally returned to his hometown Suzhou.

Zhu Cihong's "Prince Question" blew up those hidden scientific bosses of the Ming Dynasty, Bo Jue was one of them, I heard that there was no need to be an official, he happily joined the Royal Academy of Sciences, and used all kinds of tools provided by the royal family to concentrate on research.

Around the Jade Emperor Mountain, the gunners of the Shenwu Army opened their guns in an orderly manner, brushed the chamber, filled the medicine, and loaded the ammunition, and the observers around them continued to report the data, with a clear division of labor, close and skillful cooperation, and the overall speed was two or three times faster than the half-hung Shunjun gunners.

Most of the gunners of the Shun army were composed of surrendered Ming troops, and if they had that skill, they would not have been taken prisoner and changed courts.

The cannons rumbled, flying over the sky one by one, smashing into the Shun army's formation, constantly jumping and rolling on the solid ground, bringing up pieces of flesh and blood and stumps, as well as gun carriage parts.

Every wave of shells coming, there is always a violent commotion in the Shun army, and everything that is touched by the shells is flesh and blood, broken hands and feet, who can ignore it?

The closer the Shun army approached, the more accurate the artillery on the Jade Emperor Mountain became, and when the Shun army approached a mile, the Chinese army carried less than half of the Hongyi cannons, and the soldiers and gunners who pushed the cannons were even more miserable.

Suddenly, all the artillery on the opposite side stopped, although I don't understand why the Ming army stopped firing, but the opportunity should not be missed, Liu Fangliang took this opportunity and immediately ordered all to rush desperately.

The charge of the Shun army was not as brainless as the Eight Banners Army, and the cavalry pushing the shield cart followed, and the Shun army was all foot soldiers in front, and the old battalion of the horse army was behind.

The black pressure of a piece of Shunjun rushed to the Jade Emperor Mountain, and in the sea of people, Liu Laogen, who was over half a hundred years old, was also among them.

He gasped and stared at the Jade Emperor Mountain, and what the sentinel had just said came to his mind: "Emperor Yongchang has a decree, the first one to climb the Jade Emperor Mountain, reward a thousand taels of silver, send a little daughter-in-law, capture the Tianwu Emperor, seal the marquis, reward ten thousand taels of silver, and send eight official ladies as concubines!" ”

When the Shun army approached the Jade Emperor Mountain for 200 steps, by the earthen wall at the bottom of the mountain, the firing angles of the hundreds of artillery pieces of the Shenwu Army had all been adjusted to direct fire, aiming the muzzles of the black hole at the rolling Shun troops.

"Fire!"

The deafening sound of artillery, the three hundred Hongyi cannons in front of the formation opened fire at the same time, as if lightning and thunder, and large strands of billowing smoke came out, and soon covered this area of the front.

These guns were all shotguns loaded with five or six hundred rounds of projectiles, each gun had a spread area of 50 or 60 meters, and an effective killing range of about 200 paces.

Hundreds of Hongyi cannons fired salvos of shotguns, and the projectiles of the Shun army were like locusts passing through, instantly enveloping the entire range of 100 steps ahead, a rain of iron swept by, a large amount of blood mist rose, and the infantry of the Shun army, which was originally rushing wildly under black pressure, was almost swept away.

The Shun army behind them all grew their mouths, and the men and horses in front of them swept through the fields like a violent wind, and the wheat fell one by one, and the shocking scene was unforgettable.

Liu Laogen, who was running behind, collapsed to the ground in fright on the spot, his dark face kept twitching, and the little daughter-in-law and the official lady all flew out of the clouds.

There were too many men and horses in the Shun army, and one was followed by one who was not afraid of death, and they continued to rush forward numbly and dazedly under the shouts of the officers of each battalion.

Another burst of thunderous cannon rang out, and more than 300 Big Franc cannons with a close range roared in unison, and also shot shotguns.

A large roaring rain of bullets pounced, and the Shun army rolled over a large area again, and the rest of the people were all blank-minded and at a loss.

The sound of war drums on the Jade Emperor Mountain was rapid again, and some of the Shun troops looked up at the top of their heads, only to see hundreds of brilliant Dongfeng rockets flying up from the Jade Emperor Mountain, dragging a long tail flame across the sky, and finally falling into the horse army of the rear army.

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion sound came one after another, like rolling thunder in summer, which frightened many Shun soldiers on the spot and covered their heads and trembled.

In the formation of the horse army behind the Shun army, flowers bloomed on all sides, thick smoke was everywhere, and all kinds of broken bodies and weapons were everywhere.

In the smoke, people neighed and panicked, and the horses carried the cavalry to gallop wildly, causing a large-scale stampede.

Hundreds of artillery pieces in front took turns firing shotguns, and Dongfeng rockets crisscrossed the battlefield in the back, and there was chaos in the Shun army, and it became a pot of porridge.

After the battle, Li Zicheng and the others inhaled cold air, and the firearms of the Tianwu Army made the Shun army tremble, this is no longer a matter that can be solved by relying on human lives.

On the Jade Emperor Mountain, Zhu Cihong looked at the grand battlefield, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Strengthen the army with science and technology, and rejuvenate the country with talents!" ”

Sun Yingyuan and other generals of the Tianwu Army all nodded in unison, and the development of firearms really made the Tianwu Army taste the sweetness.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of gold sounded in the distance, and the Shun army immediately retreated like a tide.

Xu Sheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, they have withdrawn!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "This is just the beginning, how can you let them disperse, send an order to the whole army, line up to attack!" ”
