Chapter 229: Huang Degong (Third Update, Ask for Subscription)
Howling!
Suddenly, a dull whistling sound flew out from all corners in all directions.
The eighteen-pound cannonball let out a roar that shook the air, and slammed into the battlefield.
"It's a cannon! It's our cannon! ”
The warriors, who were originally about to die with Jiannu, immediately shouted excitedly when they heard the familiar howling sound in the air.
Although they did not have reinforcements, listening to the whistling in the air, it was as if they had seen their own reinforcements. Because this is a weapon that only they have. This means that their brothers are doing everything they can to help themselves.
Looking up at the iron bullet falling from the sky, because its speed was not fast, so that you could see it falling slowly, Li Detian, who was still fighting with the Qing army, shouted loudly when he saw this.
"Lie down!"
"Lying down ......"
The originally tragic battlefield changed in an instant, and the soldiers who were fighting Jiannu for the final tear were lying on the ground one after another, and the surrounding Jiannu did not react for a while.
What are they going to do?
Could it be that they are going to surrender on the ground?
That seems unlikely!
The actions of the Ming army made Basiha stunned, listening to the whistling in the air, he looked up, and then the slowly falling iron bullets smashed on people's bodies first, or smashed their heads, or smashed their shoulders, even when it fell to the ground and rolled, it rubbed the leg of the unlucky guy, and it would also rub his leg, and the splinters revealed snow-white bone stubble, and blood splattered from the broken leg.
All this was only a matter of a second or two, and before they could figure it out, the cannonball that fell to the ground exploded violently, and the dust and smoke and flames raised by the explosion instantly engulfed everything around them.
The deafening explosion and the flying dust swept Basiha down in one fell swoop, and he fell to the ground and looked at everything in front of him in amazement.
Lying on the ground, he felt that his internal organs and abdomen seemed to be shaken out of position, as if he was in a stormy wave, shaking, shaking, shaking, the whole person kept shaking, shaking.
Of course, he had never been to the sea, and naturally he didn't know what it was like to have stormy seas, but now, he realized what shelling was! However, his experience didn't last long, suddenly, he only felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, and then his ass was unconscious, what's going on?
Holding back the pain, he turned his head to look, only to see blood gushing out of his waist and crotch. Next to his body, a hot iron ball was rolling on the ground, and it was "snorting" with white smoke.
Did it hit me?
Before he could figure it out, the iron ball exploded, and he even saw the shattering of the iron ball, saw the flames rising, and saw the ...... Then it was all over, and he, like everyone else, was reduced to pieces and thrown in the air......
This battlefield became a sea of fire and smoke in an instant, the earth spasmed there, trembled there, people and things on the battlefield were drowned in the sea of fire, and the sound of wailing and screaming burst out from the smoke of gunpowder, and the whistling and explosion of artillery shells were intertwined.
A whole hundred and sixty-eight mortars!
With an earth-shattering roar, more than 2,000 shells were fired at the battlefield, just like the main formation of the Qing army and the area where the two armies were fighting, in less than a minute! Despite its limited accuracy and impressive accuracy, its power was truly staggering, and the battlefield for miles was completely enveloped in the smoke of the explosion, so that outsiders couldn't see what was going on inside, but from time to time something was thrown out of the air at its edge.
"Oh my God, that's the thigh!"
"I look like an arm......
"I think it's like a human belly."
……
When the cannonballs were whistling out and flying, on the riverside, Li Du stood there, staring at the battlefield confined to the smoke of gunpowder, tears running under the iron surface.
"Military Gate ......"
Reading these two words silently, Li Du's mind once again appeared with the advice of the military gate.
"Bait! Hu Shoujin is the bait, I am the bait! ”
"We have a total of 10,000 people, if we don't cast some bait, those Jiannu will never be fooled!"
"Let's bombard them from the water, they only have two ways to go, either sit and let us bomb, or find a way to solve our boat, if you want to solve us, you can get the water!"
"If they get to the water, we have a chance to set them on fire! It can burn a lot of people, but it can't burn many people! Three thousand? Five thousand? Well, plus our first round of bombardment, at most seven or eight thousand. If it weren't for fate! ”
"If you want their lives, you have to be more ruthless than them!"
"When everyone was staring at the river, I led the tiger camp to kill them, killed them by surprise, and then ...... It's all up to Providence! ”
……
Providence!
Perhaps, this is providence!
Although none of those bastards in Nanjing City gave him a chance, Jiannu himself exposed the opportunity. When they threw their whole army into the battlefield and tried to completely annihilate the Tiger camp, they exposed the flanks, and the flotilla, which had been withdrawn to the opposite shore, came back again.
And not only are they back!
There are also Huang Degong, Mou Wenzhuan, Yang Yufan, tens of thousands of horses led by the three general soldiers, of course, because of the lack of ships, except for Huang Degong who led 10,000 horses across the river, the other 50,000 troops are still on the opposite bank, and now the boats are heading towards the opposite bank, and soon they will also be transported across the river.
Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they not only completed the landing, but also deployed the eighteen-pound mortar guns lifted down from the ship in front of the formation, and took advantage of the main force of the Qing army to besiege the Huben camp, and concentrated their firepower to bombard the military formation of Jiannu.
Looking at the battlefield shrouded in gunsmoke, Huang Degong, who was surprised by the power of the mortar cannon, asked suspiciously.
"General Li, the artillery fire is so fierce, will it hurt Chen Junmen?"
"Junmen has long had the idea of repaying the country with death, and he will definitely not blame me!"
Li Du, who seemed calm, pursed his lips and did not continue. And Huang Degong just silently watched the battlefield under fire.
In fact, even he himself felt that everything was like a dream, originally he wanted Yangzhou to defect to De Shizi, but yesterday from the people learned that De Shizi had led the troops to Nanjing, and was thinking about how to cross the river to contact De Shizi when he was thinking about how to cross the river and contact De Shizi, but he never thought of meeting Hu Shoujin and Li Du by the river, and when he learned that they were "on the order of Grandpa Shizi" to attack Jiannu from the flank, he immediately asked to cross the river with the army without the slightest hesitation.
"Huang Junmen, now that the Jiannu Brigade has been defeated by me, the rest is up to you!"
Li Du looked at Huang Degong and said, the imperial army in front of him was deceived by them to the battlefield. With the help of the tens of thousands of troops in Jiangbei, Abatai and they must have only one way to die!
"General Li, just look at it! Tell the prince that the end will go! ”
The war has to be a smooth battle, since the prince has already killed Jiannu here, and seeing that Jiannu's brigade is bombarded like this, he will have the slightest hesitation. Now it's a time for war, and it's clearly a time to grab credit.
Arching his hand at Li Du, Huang Degong grabbed the wine bag from the saddle, and drank a bag of wine in the blink of an eye.
"Brothers, let the Jiannu dog see our majesty! Kill slaves with Huang! ”
Kill slaves!
For a while, the shouts shook the sky, and tens of thousands of horses shouted to kill the Qing army head-on!
When Huang Degong led nearly 10,000 horses to kill, the artillery bombardment of the Ming artillery of the two battalions of Huwei and Huxiao was still continuing.
Don't give the enemy a respite!
Since the effect of the shelling is so good, then go ahead and smash everything in the world to pieces!
No, it's going to blow everything up.
"General, our shells are almost finished, and the barrel is getting hotter and hotter, if we continue to fight like this, the barrel will definitely not work!"
The prolonged shelling made the artillerymen a little worried. After all, such a constant shelling completely violates their usual rules for the use of artillery.
"Can't be used, cast a new one, fight! Fight to the death! Shoot the last shell! ”
Li Du still said stubbornly. If only it were possible. He couldn't wait to use these cannons to blow Jiannu to pieces.
