"Wash your body!"

"Get on the propellant!"

"Put on the gunpowder!"

"Get on the cannonball!"

After Li Yongtang personally aimed at the city gate hole, he decisively issued various orders before firing, and the artillerymen under his command, in accordance with the requirements of the order, made all the preparations before the launch.

Under the command of Li Yongtang, the officers and men of the artillery battalion have adapted to the law of probabilistic shooting, and the logic is not complicated.

Concentrate as many artillery pieces as possible and bombard them in the same direction and angle, and the more times you bombard, the greater the chance that the blind cat will hit a dead mouse.

At a time when there is no optical equipment for gun sighting, the shooting accuracy of smoothbore guns can be summed up in a word: try your luck!

In the era of smoothbore guns, in addition to the basically controllable firing range, the deviation in direction was inevitably amazing!

"......Boom" Li Yongtang personally lit a 12-pounder cannon, and after a loud bang, the black iron projectile was wrapped in a huge amount of energy that destroyed the world and viciously pounced on the walls of the Daimyo's Mansion.

......With a loud bang, the shells were immediately discharged, and the prelude to the attack officially began.

Li Yongtang's vision was completely obscured by the white smoke, and Li Zhongyi, who was standing on the command car, could see it clearly through the telescope.

The city walls and gates were intact, and the black iron projectiles that came out of the disembowel, carrying earth-shattering wind and thunder, roared over the walls of the Daimyo's mansion and smashed into the city.

Because it was blocked by the city wall, Li Zhongyi couldn't see exactly where the cannonballs had smashed into the city. However, he knew in his heart that if he smashed into a densely populated house, it would definitely be a tragedy of death or injury.

There is no way, war will inevitably kill people, the so-called success of ten thousand bones is this!

The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, it must be together!

Among the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasty in China, objectively speaking, the idea of great unification has penetrated into the bone marrow of the vast majority of people!

Beginning with Qin Shi Huang, the founding rulers of all dynasties were bound to unify the world whenever they had the opportunity.

Even the weak Song Dynasty, which was the most important in history, and its founding ancestor, Zhao Kuangyin, still said a crooked reason: next to the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly?

It is conceivable that under the whole world, it is not the king's land, how deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

After the first shell missed, Li Yongtang took out the charcoal pen in his pocket and nervously wrote and drew on the paper.

According to the requirements of the artillery drill code, the main task of the first shell was to test the accuracy and deviation of the trajectory and elevation angles. Regardless of whether it hits or not, it is necessary to correct the trajectory and elevation angle of the subsequent cluster launch in time, which requires careful calculation.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

After Li Yongtang personally corrected the elevation angle of each gun, he decisively gave the order to open fire, and several 12-pounder guns followed the sound of the password and opened fire one after another.

Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, was standing in front of the arrow battlements in front of the city gate tower, he only heard a loud rumbling sound, and could see the white smoke swirling, but he did not see any abnormal movement on the city wall.

"Huh......" Fu Yanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, it is actually difficult to match under the fame, and the so-called bronze artillery that has been blown very evil is nothing more than that.

However, Fu Yanqing was a little too happy, and the first wave of shots from the Li family's artillery battalion, due to the slightly higher elevation angle, did not fall on the city wall, but smashed into the houses near the inner city wall.

Although there was no loss on the walls of the Daimyo's mansion, the requisitioned houses were filled with earth-shattering wails, cries, and the rumbling of the collapse of buildings, intertwined into a tragic tragedy.

For a while, the officers and soldiers of the Fu family on the city wall turned their heads to look back, and everyone couldn't understand what happened in the requisitioned houses?

The first firing of the nine 12-pounder guns actually failed, and Li Yongtang's face immediately turned red, and his eyes were on fire!

In the past, the officers and men of the artillery battalion had at least a probability of hitting one out of ten rounds during training, and in a good case, they could get three hits out of ten.

Now, they all fell short and became a zero bullet hit, and Li Yongtang, known as the god of artillery, was thrown to his grandmother's house this time.

After the artillery was pushed back to its original firing position with great difficulty by the officers and men, Li Yongtang recalculated the new trajectory and suddenly found that there was no problem with the ballistic calculation.

However, because of the rain that had rained for dozens of days before, the soil of the artillery position seemed to be hard, but in fact the bottom was soft.

The reaction force of the artillery firing is not trivial, and if the soil of the position is too soft, it is inevitable that there will be a huge deviation at the moment of launch.

Finding problems is only one aspect, and Li Yongtang must also solve the problem immediately.

Li Yongtang knew very well in his heart that with Li Zhongyi's attention to the artillery battalion, it might not be long before he would send a messenger to ask him: Why are all the artillery pieces biased?

However, to Li Yongtang's surprise, Li Zhongyi acted as if he didn't see that the shells were missed, not only did he not send anyone to blame him, but instead ordered Li Anguo to tell him: Take your time, don't worry, sooner or later you can blast through the city gate hole of the Daimyo's Mansion!

The disadvantages of smoothbore guns, after so many firing experiments and actual combat, Li Zhongyi can be said to know everything about it.

To put it bluntly, bombarding the walls and gates of the Daimyo's Mansion with smoothbore artillery is roughly similar to the pattern of bombardment with return artillery, and it is a matter of probability.

As long as there are more bombardments, for example, more than a thousand times, there will always be a cannonball that will catch a dead mouse, right?

Flip it over, turn it upside down, and it's all about the probability of shooting!

Even modern ICBMs, when launched, have a problem with the probability of hitting accuracy!

After Li Yongtang ate the reassuring pill, he could start to reinforce the base of the artillery with great energy, and every time he fired a shot, he had to recalculate it for a long time, and when it was fired, he had to give the order himself.

The so-called practice makes perfect, so back and forth, Li Yongtang gradually found the doorway, although the city wall of the Daimyo's Mansion is high, but the trench is too wide, if the elevation angle of the artillery is too large, and the propellant is overloaded, it is easy to get out of the bull's-eye of the city wall.

After five more shots, Li Yongtang finally mastered the law of shooting ballistics, which is that the trajectory is lower than higher, and the charge is less than more.

Li Zhongyi, who was in the Chinese army, couldn't help touching his chin and said to Li Anguo with a smile after hearing that Li Yongtang had sent someone to report the cause of the miss. ”

"Lord, you are right, the so-called ten shots and three hits in ordinary training, when they arrive on the real battlefield, they will become ten shots without hits due to various factors." Li Anguo deeply agreed with Li Zhongyi's incisive assertions, and made a derivative play, "You often say a sentence, the small one always keeps in mind, that is: whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and slip around to know, right?" ”

Li Zhongyi just didn't hear Li Anguo's sycophants, he curled the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his voice and ordered Liao Shanhe: "I'll go and change clothes, and the offensive command of the entire army will be handed over to you for the time being." ”

Liao Shanhe secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, every time at this time, it was the time when Li Zhongyi deliberately put down the pick and tested the general.

In the Li family's army, including Yang Lie, high-ranking generals such as Liao Shanhe, Song Yunxiang, Ma Guangda and Liu Heyang were all granted the supreme command of the battle by Li Zhongyi.

According to Li Zhongyi, it is difficult to get a fierce general, and it is difficult to get a handsome!

In his position, he must sing that song on which hill he stands!

Li Zhongyi also said that this person was forced out, and the core problem of the second ancestor was that they had already received a golden spoon before they were born, so where did they understand the suffering of the people or the thoughts of the border soldiers?

To put it bluntly, what bear children lack most is not the superior conditions of various good times, but frustration education!
