Chapter 228 Changsha Artillery Battle
Chen Xiong also kept an eye on the Changsha front, the first Han army, the second Han army and 10,000 heavy cavalry, a total of 50,000 horses and horses have moved to Shaoguan City. If the battle on the front line is critical, the Han pro-army will also go into battle immediately.
Hehe~~ The people also pushed the twenty general cannons over.
The sad horn of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also replaced by the war drums and trumpets of the traitor army. Now the status of traitors has also improved a lot, and the purpose of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is: to use Han to control Han. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of Jurchens alone would not be enough for the Han army to slaughter.
"Can our marine artillery hit it?" Chen Chang couldn't detect it, so he could only ask the silver staff officer of the military department.
The staff officer squinted and said: "Today's steel cannons are very well sealed, and they are also rifled, and the firing range has been doubled, which is enough to hit the artillery array of the Qing army." ”
The old medium guns before could only hit about one or two kilometers. Although the new 150-caliber artillery is still a front-loading gun, it uses wax-sealed shells and flintlock ignition, which makes the thrust greatly increased enough to hit the shells for three or four kilometers.
The general artillery of the Qing army was located about two or three kilometers, and it was also a place where the old medium artillery could not threaten.
Chen Chang was overjoyed and said, "That's good, let them be proud for a while." ”
The Qing army prepared for artillery bombardment, and the trench commander also ordered: "Squat down and hide, and don't look up." ”
"It's the division commander." The battalion commanders and captains also immediately gave orders to their subordinates.
Not only did the musketeers take refuge in the trenches, but the artillerymen also had pits to hide from the shelling.
"Ignition." Shang Kexi personally ordered.
"Tsk." The gunner was also in a mood.
Boom boom boom ~ As soon as the twenty general cannons were launched, the earth trembled and the dust was immediately rolled up.
The iron ball was like a meteorite, instantly smashing into the Han army's position. If it had been the artillery fire of the First World War, the Han army's position would have suffered heavy casualties.
"Phew!" The dirt flew away, and the firecrackers didn't know whether to be happy or unlucky.
"The commander lost one medium cannon and two small cannons, and there were no casualties."
"Uh-huh! Continue to wait for the command. There were no casualties, which reassured Chen Chang.
Chen Zhong nodded and said: "The civil engineering of the Han Fifth Army has done a very good job, and the Lord said: the future civil engineering position is indispensable, and the Han Fifth Army must also maintain it." ”
"Please rest assured, the Commander, the age of firearms is coming, and civil engineering is more important." Chen Chang also participated in the future military training course of the lord, and he also knew that the Manchus and other countries had also begun to develop firearms.
Boom boom boom ~~
The Qing army bombarded five rounds, and the Han army's position was also smashed.
"Okay, attack." Shang Kexi was very satisfied, and the Han army didn't dare to let go of a fart for so long.
Om~~
1,000 Qing soldiers pushed the wooden escape cart slowly, and 2,000 heavy armored soldiers also carried the big wooden escape to follow, and then there were thousands of sword and shield soldiers. Thousands of sword and shield soldiers were all wearing cotton wood chip armor, and even lint helmets on their heads.
"Good fellow, I see!" Chen Chang sighed that these shield carts were enough to stop the old shotguns.
After several rounds of shelling, the Han army also lost a lot of artillery!
"When the Qing troops approach 300 meters, the field artillery will first destroy the shield car, and then smash the Tartar artillery."
"It's the Commander." An artillery battalion staff officer was also given the order to leave.
The Qing army was not in a hurry, and advanced slowly, they knew that the artillery of the Han army had not yet been powerful, but at this time they could only meet head-on.
"Hey, the Han army didn't move!" Approaching 700 meters, the Han army's artillery fire did not sound, and all the traitors were happy.
"Quick, speed up!" was already within range, and the traitors also quickened their pace.
They lined up, but the queue was also a few meters away, which was effective in reducing shelling casualties.
The dog Tartar traitor finally came, and the gunners were excited.
"Open fire."
As soon as the order arrived, the gun commander immediately pulled the gun rope.
Boom boom boom ~~
Dozens of artillery pieces roared one after another, and dozens of fiery red iron balls were killed in an instant.
Bang~Bump~~ The shield car immediately split and burst into flames, and even some traitor soldiers were shattered to the ground.
"Ah, kill me, kill me!" The legs were gone, and the traitor soldiers pleaded on the ground.
The Qing army was flustered, and the commander hurriedly shouted: "Rush, all rush up." ”
"Kill~"
"Kill!" The heavy shield soldiers shouted, they were all dead anyway, and they could only fight hard.
The shield array had been eroded and shattered, but the two thousand shield soldiers had been strengthened.
"Quick, clean up." The gunner hurriedly blew the urge, and the gunner was also in a hurry.
The curious firebolt couldn't help but look up, and then he was kicked away. The squad leader scolded: "Look for death, you, the loose cannon hasn't fired yet." ”
Spray spray~~ Nearly 100 shotguns immediately sprayed countless streams of fire, and they also flew towards the Qing soldiers in an instant.
Bumper ~~ The shield was torn apart, and the heavy armor soldier also fell to the ground.
"Haha, I'm fine! But it hurts to death! Although the heavy armor soldier couldn't get up for a while, he was still very happy. The iron smash on his body could no longer shoot through the thick armor, but he was still in pain.
"Ahh Yes! Many of the heavily armored soldiers were wailing on the ground, but the corners of their mouths were unusually cheerful.
"Kill, rush!" The Qing army also began to assault in an all-out way, and thousands of cavalry behind them also began to slash at each other.
The gunpowder of the warheads was sealed up, so that the artillery was quickly prepared.
"Raise the angle of fire, first concentrate on destroying the Qing artillery, and then free shelling."
"Honorable Order." The cannons shouted loudly, and it was finally the turn of labor and capital!
Boom boom boom~~ The Han army's artillery fire was continuous, so that the charging Qing army couldn't help it. But then they all got happy.
"Rush, rush up."
The Qing army in front of him was happy, but Shang Kexi was panicked!
"It's over, general, the artillery is over!" The artillery is staggering, and many of them must be repaired! There were even a few doors, which were directly smashed.
It was already approaching two hundred meters, but the Han army did not come forward, and the Qing soldiers did not want to shout so much and charge directly.
"Ready."
"Ready!" Shotguns are also preparing for shelling.
"Fire, fire." The commander and captain of the artillery battalion all shouted enthusiastically, and their voices were like a small cannon.
Spray squirt~~ Countless streams of fire flew out in an instant, and suddenly the traitors' eyes were full of fire.
Xiu Xiu ~ The iron fragments passed directly through the wooden escape, and the hot iron pieces also hit the stomachs of the heavy armor soldiers.
"Ah~"
"No~no~" Thousands of heavily armored soldiers fell to the ground and rolled, this time they were all injured, but they were not pretending before!
"Rush, rush." Commanders at all levels waved their swords and shouted again.
Kill ~ kill ~ As soon as the scalp exploded, thousands of sword and shield soldiers accelerated again!
"Get up, get up and get ready."
The musketeers in the trenches also began to stand up, their shoulders just above the ground.
One hundred meters, eighty meters, seventy meters, the firecrackers couldn't help but get nervous.
"First column shooting."
Bang Bang Bang ~ Thousands of fire guns immediately burst into flames, and then thick smoke also came out.
"Squat, squat."
As soon as the first column crouched, the second column immediately lowered its muzzle.
Bang Bang Bang~~
By the third column had finished shooting, the first column also stood up.
"Ah~no~ah~" The Qing soldiers fell in rows, and by the time the first column wanted to shoot, the Qing army had already begun to turn around. Another 2,000 people fell on the ground, and the Qing army had completely collapsed.
"Shoot fast, shoot."
Bang Bang Bang~~ There were three more columns of shooting, and thousands of Qing soldiers also fell to the ground.
"Squat, squat." The scattered artillerymen also began to shout, and then the musketeers also hurried to hide.
Spray spray ~ Countless fires have left thousands of Qing soldiers behind.
