Although there are lessons from Xuzhou, it turns out that people are always repeating the mistakes they have made. First of all, Abatai set up a large camp by the river, which made it easier to keep an eye on the salt ships and to travel between the north and the south.

Although the Qing army set up six large camps in the south of the city, at least two of them were close to the river. When the Qing sentries on the riverside spotted the flotilla, the first round of shelling began before they could warn the battalion!

Whistling!

Like the rumbling of cannon thunder on a summer day, a dull whistling sound came to the sky, like a whistling river breeze, but it was a little dull.

When the dull whistling sound was getting closer and closer, most of the Qing troops in the camp who had not yet come to their senses looked up in shock, because there was a large camp wall blocking it, so they could not see the situation on the river at all, but looked towards the air, and they saw that the air was whistling black dots and shells.

It's just that these cannonballs feel very strange, they fly very slowly, and each has a small tail, and that tail is a white smoke trail, which is very obvious in the sky, and the smoke trail from low to high, they draw a curve and smash down.

What is that?

Obviously, for many Qing troops, they simply did not know, what it was.

Even after experiencing the Battle of Xuzhou, the two sides did not have substantial contact after a hurried fight, so many people did not know what happened that day. When these shells whistled and smashed through the curve in the air towards the Qing army camp, the Qing troops in the camp had not even reacted.

The timing of the shells using the woodpipe timing fuse is not accurate, the distance of eight or nine hundred meters, the timing is only a few seconds or so, it is impossible to be more accurate, all some of the shells, when flying to the position of only one or two zhang above the heads of these Jiannu, some of the shells exploded in advance, although this kind of shells are primitive, but the iron shell contains a full three catties of Xiao Xuan AN, in another world, it is just a very ordinary fertilizer and industrial bombing, but its power is far more than the black fire yao.

The violent explosion exploded the pig iron shells into thousands of fragments of various sizes, which rained down from the sky like raindrops, and suddenly covered the earth and the Qing troops on the ground.

The Qing army who looked up didn't react at all, they even felt that those iron bumps were not a threat at all, at this time, the more they ran, the more dangerous it was, after all, as long as they were not directly hit, those iron bumps could not pose an effective threat to themselves.

However, they obviously forgot the iron fire hell under the city of Xuzhou, and in an instant, disaster enveloped the camp by the river.

Although there were only a dozen shells that exploded early, thousands of fragments were produced, and in the violent explosion, while the flames were expanding in the air, thousands of pig iron fragments roared towards the unsuspecting Jiannu's head and body, and in an instant, those fragments that were broken like peas, large or small palm-sized, penetrated their bodies, because in the battalion, many of them were not wearing armor, and the pig iron fragments easily shattered their heads, penetrated their bodies, and their brains flew. In the midst of the flying flesh, fragments of limbs shredded by large shrapnel were also scattered everywhere.

At this moment, within a radius of more than ten meters down from each air explosion, a huge almost circular corpse field was formed, and in this corpse field like a meat grinder, hundreds of Jiannu fell in a pool of blood, and when they let out a miserable scream, those who had not had time to rejoice in a hurry, fell into the artillery fire again—the shells exploded one after another.

Because of the interval between shots, timing, etc., the explosion time of the shells is different, and even some shells are hit by other fragments when they are about to fall, fly sideways in the air, and then explode in the air, which further increases its lethality.

For a time, the camp was full of bloody rain, and those Jiannu who were stunned by the bombing instinctively wanted to escape, but when they fled, they became a whistling shrapnel, and the shrapnel instantly tore their bodies, and in the face of such shelling, they didn't know what to do.

Either flee or run, many people fall in this confusion......

After a violent explosion, the camp filled with gunpowder smoke was already a mess, like a slaughterhouse, hundreds of Qing soldiers were either lying in the camp, or lying in the tent full of holes and groaning in pain, but more flesh and blood, there were broken limbs everywhere, and even the camp wall was covered with broken intestines and broken arms, many tarpaulin tents were lit and burning, and when the tent burned, the flames burned the flesh and blood on the tent, so that the air was filled with a smell of incense, But it's also a terrible smell of barbecue.

Unfortunately, for such a fragrance, those Qing troops could not appreciate the smell at all, and those who survived were stunned by such an earth-shattering explosion, and were also frightened by the tremendous power of the shells. People who are lucky enough not to be injured want to escape, and they also turn a deaf ear to other people's requests for help.

Actually, it's just a moment!

But only a few seconds later, and before many of them could recover from the tinnitus from the explosion, another round of shells fell on their heads. In fact, this shelling was even a bit too wasteful, because when the first round of shells fell, those completely defenseless Jiannu had already been harvested, and the Jiannu in the walled camp, in such an artillery bombardment, there was no cover to cover at all, they could only use their own flesh and blood to block the explosion, and the shock wave of the explosion, the flames and the dust that rose up during the explosion swallowed the camp together, and of course all the creatures in the camp.

Whether it is a human or a war horse, they have all turned into twisted flesh and blood under the steel fragments, nothing more than piles of minced meat......

Waiku is very lucky, in fact, he is not lucky, he just once witnessed a scene under the city of Xuzhou, when he saw those cannonballs that dragged the smoke trail down, he immediately subconsciously fell to the ground, so as to escape this catastrophe in time.

When the earth-shattering explosion was over, he looked up and looked around, but all that was left in his ears was a scream, and there was an extra thigh in front of him, and he didn't even know when that thigh fell.

He saw Zhang Shan of Guerjia's family, also lying there, they looked at each other, and both of them saw that their expressions were full of fear......
