Chapter 340: The Battle of Xuzhou (3)
The enemy situation is already five miles away
At this moment, the drums on Ma'anshan are beating loudly.
The personnel of each defensive post were constantly operating, waiting to engage the Qing army.
Li De, as the commander of the army, naturally could not continue to stay here.
"Little brother, give you back all these bullets. For the sake of King Han and the happiness of the people in the world, kill a few more clear dogs. Li De, who had just received the bullet from Li Liqun, returned the bullet to Li Liqun again.
"Yes, I follow the teachings of Commander Li. For the sake of the King of Han and the people of the world, we must kill more Qing dogs. Li Liqun saluted respectfully and said.
Li De also left this place and returned to his tent after giving Li Liqun a salute back.
At this time, in the camp tent, a group of staff generals were waiting for his arrival.
"Ladies and gentlemen, five miles away, I found the figure of the Qing army, and I believe that they will soon be able to reach the foot of Ma'anshan. As for the situation of arming, it is good to act according to the previous arrangement. Li De said.
"As for the rest, I won't say much, I just want to tell you. King Han is on Ma'anshan at the moment, with us. The King of Han trusts us and is willing to put his life in our hands, on the other hand, are you worthy of the trust of the King of Han? ”
"I am willing to be the king of Han, go to the soup and go to the fire, in order to repay the king's kindness..."
"I am willing to be the king of Han and wipe out all enemies, and I will not give up..."
Under the call, the defense system of Ma'anshan has been fully prepared.
……
Four miles away
…
Three miles away
…
Two miles away
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
Accompanied by the sound of loud military drums, the soldiers of the bandit suppression army on Ma'anshan could even see the Qing army that had arrived.
"Hmph, what about this little hill, no matter how well the low wall is built, and how many trenches are dug? My army of tens of thousands is here, and even if one person holds a handful of mud, he can level it. It's a joke to think about using it to resist us. "Eji holding a monocular clairvoyant. He Mueller said arrogantly.
"Someone's coming!"
"Back to the master, the slave is here." The flag officer on the side immediately came out to respond.
"Give the order to go down, and let the artillerymen quickly push the cannon up and fire a few shots, rubbing their sharpness. So that they know that we also have cannons, or powerful cannons in red. "Eji. He Mueller commanded.
"Huh..."
Immediately, the chess and card officials continued to wave the flag on horseback and sent Eji. Orders from Ho Mueller.
With the waving of the flag, at this moment, ten heavy red-coated cannons were pushed to the front of the battlefield by the artillerymen.
Under each cannon, the traces of the wheels submerged in the grass show the strength that the cannon should have.
The reason why the Qing army used such a cannon was also forced to do so. Because the muskets of the bandit army have a relatively long range, if the Qing army uses small artillery, I am afraid that it will directly enter the range of the musket of the bandit army, and then there will be a large number of artillery deaths, and the gains outweigh the losses.
To this end, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen had to use the power in his hands to transfer these ten heavy red-clothed cannons.
Ten red-coated cannons say no more, no less. In the eyes of the Qing army, using ten red-coated cannons to attack the small Ma'anshan, even if it can't knock him down, it is a matter of being able to capture it.
Slowly, the red-coated cannons of the Qing army were pushed to the front of the army, two miles away from Ma'anshan.
The reason why the Qing army chose this distance of two miles was because of the effective range of the red-coated artillery.
Although the Manchu court has always claimed that the red-coated cannon can shoot ten miles, in fact, it can fly so far at most under special circumstances, but in fact it has no power.
According to the experience of the Qing artillery for many years, the maximum effective range of the red-coated cannon is three miles.
In addition, the Qing army believed that the range of two miles away was completely enough to hit the anti-thieves, without worrying about being hit by the anti-thieves' artillery.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
The drums of the battlefield are rhythmic and powerful.
The green battalion soldiers in the vanguard of the Qing army watched the artillery being disassembled, installed and debugged, and as long as the red cannon was a big one, they were in a good mood.
"My good man, if so many red-clothed cannons are fired together, it will really be enough for the thieves on Ma'anshan to drink a pot!" A thin green battalion soldier said with a smile.
"No, I've never seen a cannon this big, but I've seen so many this time, and it's such a big cannon, it's really an eye-opener. Seeing that the barrel of the cannon is so wide, if this cannonball goes down, there will be no people, right? Another green battalion soldier next to him, who was shorter than him, replied.
"Well, you don't want to think about it, it's called a redcoat cannon. According to others, it can hit ten miles away, and everything that the shell touches will immediately become shattered. It's the same even if it's a stone, let alone a person. If this hits a person's body, it's okay, basically I don't feel it. But if you hit you in the hands or feet, you will suffer. The emaciated green battalion soldier continued.
"Well, this is really going to hit people's bodies, it's really a pain that people can't think of, it's better to die to avoid sin." As he spoke, the shorter Green Battalion soldier even showed sentimentality.
"Hey, what's the matter with you guy? Even if it is injured, it will not be you who is injured, but only the thief on Ma'anshan who will be injured. You don't look at this red-coated cannon, but on our side, what are you afraid of? The thin green battalion soldier said with some contempt for the short green battalion soldier.
"I just want to think about it! I didn't say I was scared. I saw this short green battalion soldier, pale and weakly explained.
"Alright, alright, got it. I know you're amazing, but if it's a cannon for a while, you have to cover your ears quickly, don't be scared of peeing at that time, I see how you can explain. I saw the thin green battalion soldier laugh and said.
"you, say I'll take care of yourself first!" The short green battalion soldier who was ridiculed said with some annoyance.
