The weapon used by the Ming army was naturally the Prussian howitzer brought by Zhu Youlang.

The so-called grenade refers to the flowering bomb.

In the mid-17th century, the Ming Dynasty belonged to the period of mixed use of hot and cold weapons, whether it was infantry or cavalry, soldiers needed to fight in a phalanx.

Most of the artillery used is of the Big Mac type, such as the Red Cannon.

It fires mostly solid shells, because the shells are heavy enough, and although they are slow, they have a lot of kinetic energy.

In this case, not to mention the infantry, even the cavalry can directly smash through.

Moreover, on flat ground, solid bullets are likely to ricochet, and after touching the ground, they bounce up again to cause secondary damage.

Of course, this requires a lot of terrain, and if it is an uneven terrain such as a trench, it is not easy to ricochet.

In general, the Ming and Qing armies of this era basically had a solid understanding of artillery shells, relying on huge kinetic energy and ricochets to cause damage to fortifications, arrays, armored cavalry, infantry, etc.

Of course, the Ming artillery also fired grape bullets, which used net pockets to bundle loose bullets into a bunch, much like a bunch of grapes, hence the name grape bullets.

This kind of shell looks similar to a grenade, but because it is solid, there is still an essential difference.

The new hollow flowering shell fired by the Prussian howitzer was completely in the blind spot of the Qing army's knowledge.

The flowering bomb exploded in the crowd of green battalion soldiers, killing and injuring one at a time, and the effect was very terrifying.

At first, the law enforcement team of the Eight Banners Army could maintain military discipline by beheading deserters, but soon they could no longer control the situation.

Because the psychological impact of the flowering bomb on the soldiers is too great!

The siege of the city is a dense charge, and a flowering bullet explodes in the crowd, which can kill and injure at least dozens or even hundreds of people.

Different from the "linear" attack of solid shells, the killing of flowering shells is piece, and the killing radius is larger.

After all, people are not emotionless machines, they are affected by emotions.

In this case, the fear spreads quickly like a plague when it appears.

"Fire!"

Zhu Youlang saw these green battalion soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers, and there was no pity in his heart, but he was happy.

He really can't understand the psychology of these traitors, and in troubled times, he doesn't ask everyone to stand up and be a hero, but at least you can't raise a butcher's knife at your own compatriots, right?

This kind of scum who has milk is a mother is not worthy of being a man at all!

The soldiers of the Ming army saw that the artillery purchased by His Majesty the Emperor from Taixi was so powerful, and they were all full of fighting spirit and blood.

"Blow up these son of bitch bastards!"

"Send them to Hades!"

"For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, kill the captives and serve the country!"

I have to say that the Son of Heaven's series of actions at the head of the city did affect the Ming soldiers, and their long-suppressed emotions were completely released at this moment, gushing out like a surging river.

At the same time, the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army were like a group of chickens who were killed indiscriminately, and they had no ability to resist at all.

"Don't run, don't run!"

Seeing that the scene was almost out of control, Mr. Qian roared as if he was venting.

But the incompetent rage had no practical effect, and the rout poured towards him like a tidal wave.

Man's survival instinct is greater than anything else.

In the face of death, the soldiers of the Green Battalion simply ignored the orders of the Eight Banners Army Law Team and fled desperately in all directions.

Berhetu's face was pale, and he trembled with anger.

He didn't care about the lives of these green battalion soldiers at all, anyway, every time he conquered a city, his troops would be replenished.

But this battle was like this as soon as it began, and the blow to the morale of the Qing army was too great.

As a vanguard general, he made the situation like this, how should he explain to General Pingxi and General Zhengnan?

......

......

"Your Majesty Shenwu!"

Seeing that the first wave of the Qing army's offensive was easily disintegrated, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, sent Zhu Youlang a sycophant at the right time.

There is no doubt that the new artillery that His Majesty bought from the Tessians played an extremely important role.

The Qing army was beaten and could not find the north at all, like headless flies.

Zhu Youlang was still a little proud in his heart, after all, this was his first victory after coming to this era.

This also proves that these weapons of mass destruction in his hands are indeed very useful.

However, he was not carried away by the momentary victory, after all, it was only the Green Battalion soldiers who charged.

Whether it is combat effectiveness, or organizational discipline, the green battalion soldiers cannot be compared with the old Guan Ning Army and the elite of the Eight Banners under Wu Sangui.

It can be said that Zhu Youlang is just a small test.

Then there is Zhu Youlang, who is a little worried about the number of artillery and ammunition.

After all, these were brought by him from the private museum he had created, and there were only a limited number of them.

If a big war is open, it may barely be able to support it, but what about next time?

Some should still be left in case you need it.

Of course, this is all based on the premise that Kunming City can be defended, otherwise there is no point in saving howitzer ammunition.

There is no doubt that Prussian guns are the killer weapon of the Ming army, but how to use them and how much to use does need to be balanced.

"I don't know much about the war, according to the opinion of the King of Jin, will the Donglu Ming Jin withdraw the troops and fight again at a later date?"

Zhu Youlang felt that the battle had already blown up the courage of the Qing army, and they would not continue to attack in the short term, but needed to gather the rout for a period of adjustment.

Who knew that Li Dingguo smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the ministers, I am afraid that the Dongyu will soon launch a more fierce attack." ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Of course, Zhu Youlang would not doubt what Li Dingguo said.

As the first god of war in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo is not only a general but also a handsome talent, and his grasp of the battlefield situation and even people's hearts is beyond the reach of ordinary generals, let alone a rookie like Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang is still very clear about his positioning, and he will not do such a stupid thing as a layman commanding an insider.

Knowing the right people is the first thing he wants to do at the moment.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the best thing in this battle is attrition tactics. They first charged with the green battalion, but in fact, they didn't think about directly capturing Kunming City, but consumed our garrison materials. ”

After a slight pause, seeing that Zhu Youlang was listening very carefully, Li Dingguo continued: "No matter how heavy the losses of the green battalion soldiers are, the Dongyu can accept it. Because the next step is to take advantage of our break to order the main attack. If they withdraw their troops now, the losses of the previous Green Battalion soldiers will be in vain. When they are rested, we are almost rested, and they will have to send another batch of Green Battalion soldiers to the field. Rather than this, it is better to storm to the end. ”

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Li Dingguo's analysis was very reasonable, and Zhu Youlang thought about it carefully and suddenly realized.
