Chapter 600: An Indescribable Scene
In the Jiumen River Wuzhen Chaoha artillery array, there are hundreds of Hongyi cannons of various types and large and small Fulang machine guns, and more than half of these cannons were made during the Huang Taiji period.
After the defeat of the Qing army in Liaodong, the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery battalion was dispersed, and these artillery pieces were captured by the Tianwu army.
Now these artillery pieces are back in the hands of the Qing army, and there are also the original artillery of the Liaodong Army, and Dolgon has transferred all of them, hoping to blast out the Shanhaiguan.
The Wuzhen Chaoha Artillery Battalion pinned on Dolgon's dream and carried the hope of the rise of the Qing Dynasty.
On the vast land, the shallow weeds are overgrown, and the yellow flags of the Ming Dynasty are swarming in waves, and they carry forward the combat style of the old Eight Banners, with the shield car in front and the foot soldiers in the back, advancing layer by layer.
The thick baffles on these shield cars are covered with thick quilts, and some are covered with iron sheets, and the fire guards are okay, but it is difficult to say that they are blocking the guns, but at least there is some psychological comfort.
All the Manchurian soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner also believed that the great Emperor Tianwu would not die without help, and would definitely provide himself with strong fire support! Certain!
On the high ground behind the Jiumen River, Dolgon held a telescope and could clearly see that on the undulating terrain, soldiers in orange armor and banners were pouring towards him in waves.
And the man who led the horse back and forth was none other than his eleventh brother Babuhai......
Dolgon put down his binoculars, his eyes shining coldly, and he said hatefully, "Traitor! Aqina! Seth Black! ”
After scolding for a while, he looked at the huge Wuzhen Chaoha artillery array in front of him, with a cruel smile on his face, and ordered: "Summons Tong Tulai, be sure to shoot that traitor in Babu Hai!" ”
There are dozens of heavy artillery pieces in Wuzhen Chaoha that can hit more than ten pounds, and each of them can hit three or four miles, I believe that when they attack Babu Hai, Wuzhen Chaoha will clean up the portal for the Qing Dynasty!
In the artillery array of the Qing army, Tong Tulai, who had received the will, did not dare to slack off, and paid close attention to the "Zhenghuang Flag" that was coming.
If it weren't for the fact that the "Zhenghuang Flag" in front of him was wearing yellow and orange-hued armor, Tong Tulai would not have dared to order an artillery bombardment easily......
The color of the clothes of the Ming Zheng Yellow Flag uses orange, one is to distinguish the Manchurian Zheng Yellow Flag, and the other is to avoid the Ming Emperor, after all, the Zheng Huang Flag is not the pro-army of the Great Tomorrow, and it is not qualified to wear yellow.
Tong Tulai held the telescope in his hand, and when he saw the "two barbarians" enter the range of the artillery mark, he immediately shouted: "Hit the artillery!" ”
The Wuzhen Chaoha artillery battalion had already been in full battle, and when they heard this exciting order, a sharp horn suddenly sounded, and dozens of Hongyi heavy artillery guns were launched first, making a thunderclap-like loud sound, and one after another cannonballs whistling towards the two barbarians.
"Boom!"
A ten-pound shell smashed into the shield cart of the yellow flag, and the baffle covered with a thick quilt was instantly smashed into pieces, and the strong force swept several Manchurian soldiers pushing the cart to the ground, and they were bleeding profusely and howling loudly.
The roar continued, and one shell after another was fired on the hard ground, and then quickly bounced up and rushed into the Zhenghuang Banner Army, a large number of shield carts were destroyed, broken wood chips flew everywhere, and some unlucky whole people were pierced, and blood was spilled all over the ground.
Even worse luck was hit by a heavy iron ball, and the hit was not human-shaped.
Most of the Wuzhenchao Harbin artillery battalion is composed of Han military flags, and some of the artillerymen have strange faces, they used to follow the Manchurian uncle to fight the Han people, and today is the first time to fight the Manchurians......
The traitors in the Qing army, to fight the traitors in the Ming army, this kind of indescribable historical scene is really rare and embarrassing!
A dozen catties of cannonballs hit the guard on Zhu Youneng's side, and with a whoosh, the guard disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a bloody patch of blood.
"it!"
Zhu Youneng screamed, showed off his snake skin, and continued to run back and forth on his horse, shouting and cheering as he ran: "Rush, kill the Tartar!" ”
In the position of the Shenwu Army, huge four-wheeled artillery trucks were pushed out, and they were full of large-caliber mortar guns as thick as basins.
This thing looks scary, but in fact, it is not as heavy as an ordinary Hongyi cannon, and the whole body is made of copper, and the weight is only 600 catties, which is short and thick.
Looking at the Manchurian soldiers charging in front, the mighty Bo Wan Junjie took a deep breath and ordered: "The blasting battalion artillery and thunder artillery are advancing quickly, and they are ready to go into the firing range!" ”
The herald replied, "Yes!" ”
Not only dug trenches in front of the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery array, but also sandbag bunkers in front of each artillery piece, Tong Tulai attracted the lessons of Kong Youde five years ago, and added a layer of earthen basket bunkers in front of each artillery, which can be described as impregnable.
It is very difficult for the general Hongyi cannon to hit the target behind the cover and produce effective lethality, unless it is a protracted battle and has no brains to bombard.
However, in order to rush to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible, the Shenwu Army did not bring those heavy artillery pieces weighing thousands of pounds at all, and brought some light mortar guns and Dongfeng rockets.
The emerging forces have a very strong ability to learn, and even the Eighth Banner Army has changed its traditional combat methods and transformed into an advanced firearms army in terms of salvo fire, bunkers, and firearms innovation.
However, in this battle, Zhu Cihong will once again teach them by word and deed, and teach them a truth with practical actions, what is the real power!
Zhu Youneng led the yellow flag to gradually disperse, evading the artillery, and still rushing forward desperately, and the Manchurian soldiers who ran fast had already hid in the first trench set up by the Qing army.
In the smoke of gunpowder, the Shenwu Army's demolition battalion gradually approached two miles, and the recoil of the mortar was down, and there was no need to drive piles and fix it like the Hongyi cannon, plus it was relatively light, and the artillery array composed of hundreds of rough mortar cannons was quickly arranged.
Looking at the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery array within the attack range, everyone was breathing, and only the range-measuring artillery came from a few reports.
Wan Junjie waved his hand majestically and shouted: "Piercing the mountain and breaking the ground with thunder artillery!" Test the gun! ”
The gunners of the Shenwu Army set the range of the mortar gun, adjusted the gun degree, and the elevation angle was about forty-five degrees, and then carefully took out an oversized metal ball.
The explosion power of a small artillery shell weighing a few catties is too small, and the lethality is pitiful, and the mortar cannon of the Shenwu Army's demolition battalion has a caliber of about 22 centimeters, and the shell weighs 60 catties.
This kind of shell is a hollow metal ball, which is filled with a large amount of fine-grained black powder, and below is a wooden butt, which is similar to the bullet principle of the Heding rifle, which can effectively seal the gas leakage, and can also prevent the shell from rubbing against the inner wall during the discharging process, resulting in an early explosion and accidents.
The most important thing is that the launched grenade will have a self-stabilizing structure of the "badminton principle" with a heavy head and a light tail due to the light wooden support, which makes the trajectory more accurate.
The artilleryman stuffed a wooden letter tube into the fuse hole of the shell, and then carefully pushed it into the chamber, which was much safer to operate than the immature flowering shells of the Ming army in the past.
In the eyes of everyone, the first wave of mountain-piercing and ground-breaking mine artillery of the Shenwu Army was prepared, and the commander of the demolition battalion shouted to the gunners: "Open the cannon!" ”
"Tom!"
In a dull sound, the body of the first thunder cannon of the test cannon shook violently, spewing out a large stream of smoke, and a large black iron bullet pulled out a long arc and flew to the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery array.
