Chapter 107: It's Not a Miracle!
"Good! Good! Good! ~”
Neat cheers came one after another, followed by applause, not from the high platform, but from the crowd of spectators on the east side and the rebel soldiers on the west side.
Li Yuanyin on the high platform also wanted to applaud, but the emperor didn't shout, did the courtiers dare to take the lead?
The soldiers of the rebel army don't care about that, they cheer loudly for their Mr. Lin from the bottom of their hearts, they are all refugees from distant Temasek or Annan, in their eyes, Mr. Lin in Yushu is their savior, the god in their hearts, the emperor or something!
Yongli on the high platform couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, but he quickly stood up and took the lead in applauding, although he was a young emperor, his emotional control was still very old.
Seeing this, the ministers also stood up and applauded, showing that they were not ordinary loyalty.
The only one who didn't applaud was Zheng Guo.
At this time, Zheng Guo's heart was extremely depressed, and he finally understood why Lin Xiao didn't send more infantry cavalry to practice tactics, that was because Lin Xiao didn't bother to compare with him at all, but vaguely told people: In front of his musket with range and accuracy, all infantry and cavalry tactics are scum!
Zheng Guo's face turned blue and white, his cold back was completely soaked, and at this moment, he felt like a clown who had been stripped naked, and he was being humiliated by everyone's eyes!
He can't wait to find a crack in the ground and pull it down!
He complained very much about Lin Xiao, a shameless guy, this young guy who seemed to have a fresh face and no city, not only beat him to the point of being half-naked in one move, but today, he easily humiliated him to the point of incompleteness.
This is an extremely formidable opponent! This is an unfathomable person!
……
Li Yuanyin, the guard officer, didn't take Zheng Guo's feelings into account, and the third war drum sounded again like a ghost, and the third item was a firepower display.
Although Zheng Guo knew that it was meaningless to compare any further, this was the emperor's parade, and the cannon he had made his own appointment would be finished with tears.
So, he stepped forward to receive the order flag, and walked dejectedly in the direction of his team at the east end of the school field.
Cao Yansheng and Hu Zhengguo are very glad that they are not the ones who climbed on the high platform, they really can't afford to lose that person...... Despite this, when Zheng Guo arrived, the two still had a bitter face, looking very sad and angry.
Zheng Guo didn't say much more, waved his hand to call a guerrilla officer, signaling him to take charge of the next subject, the officer was a skinless and faceless stunned thing, and after receiving the order, he shouted loudly and shouted that a team of artillery pushed two guns and slowly walked towards the center of the field.
Originally, this last subject was Zheng Guo's back hand, and if the front was tied, he planned to rely on this subject to win.
After a few days of observation, Zheng Guo found that Lin Xiao's troops were not equipped with artillery, and the cannons brought by the baggage team a few days ago were all loaded and transported away on the day Lin Xiao killed the prisoner Zhujingguan.
"You didn't have a cannon? Then don't blame me for bullying you. Zheng Guo said this arrogantly this morning.
The Great Western Army had red-coated cannons, and almost all of them had captured the Ming army before, but Zheng Guo and the others came this time mainly with light cavalry, and only carried dozens of light guns with small calibers.
When Lin Xiao saw the artillery they pushed down the field, he couldn't help but feel a stir, thinking of a famous light cannon of the Ming Dynasty that Cao Jiawen had introduced to him on the "Unicorn" - the Tiger Squat Cannon!
According to Cao Gong, there are two kinds of best and most famous artillery in China in this era, one is the "Great General Cannon", which is imitated after the introduction of the "Hongyi Cannon" of the Franc machine man, because the cannon body is heavy and costs a lot of cast iron, so the number is very small and mainly used to defend the city.
And another kind of artillery equipped with the most is the "Tiger Squat Cannon", it is said that this is the Jiajing period of the anti-Japanese famous general Qi Jiguang invented, this kind of artillery is more lethal than the bird gun, and lighter than the Franco, especially suitable for field battles, because its gun head is erected by two iron claws, the appearance of firing is like a tiger squatting on the ground, so it is named "Tiger Squat Cannon".
Because this kind of cannon can be fired at a large elevation angle, and the trajectory of its firing cannon is arc-shaped, Cao Jiawen even believes that the "Tiger Squat Cannon" is the world's first curved artillery, which can be regarded as the originator of mortars.
Now, Zheng Guo's artillery looks like a slightly larger tiger squat cannon, thinking of this, Lin Xiao can't help but watch with interest.
……
I saw that the artillery team densely inserted dozens of wooden targets about 500 meters in front of the artillery, and then added gunpowder, pressed ammunition, and ignited...... A deafening explosion sounded, and the two guns immediately spewed out a large and small iron shell, which flew towards the target in a fan shape.
The dense target was hit by the rain of bullets, and suddenly a large area fell horizontally and vertically, and several large iron bolts smashed into the ground and continued to jump forward, scattering the sand, gravel and soil in all directions......
"It's a good cannon, it looks light, but the range is almost catching up with the Unicorn's secondary cannon, and it's a bit like a shotgun, so it's perfect for killing infantry."
Lin Xiao finally understood why Cao Gong thought that this cannon was a famous cannon in history, if it was really invented by Qi Jiguang a hundred years ago, then this national hero is not only a military strategist with strong martial arts and far-reaching strategies, but also a scientist who is good at inventing!
Suddenly, Lin Xiao's admiration for Qi Jiguang was like a surging river, endless......
……
Next, it's Lin Xiao's turn again.
This time, Lin Xiao received the order flag, but he didn't go down, but turned to Yongli and said, "Your Majesty, please look there!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and pointed to a small hill at the end of the south end of the school field.
The hill bag is about five miles away from here, there is a small wooden house on the mountain bag, Yongli has seen it a long time ago, but it didn't attract his attention, listening to Lin Xiao say this, he looked into the distance again, but he still didn't see anything unusual, and he couldn't help but be confused.
Lin Xiao didn't say much, the cabin was built by surprise yesterday, and the exact distance from here was more than 2,800 meters, nearly six miles.
At that moment, Lin Xiao waved the order flag, and saw six soldiers running out of the righteous army, trotting all the way into the center of the school field, which was Ding Shuai's machine gun platoon soldiers.
The six soldiers were divided into two groups, holding two mortar barrels, two chassis and two shells each.
After a while, the two mortars had been set up in the midst of everyone's astonished gaze, and the two first gunners raised their left arms one after another to signal that everything was ready.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao stood on the edge of the review stand and ordered loudly: "Target, the cabin ahead, prepare for a salvo!" …… Fire! ”
"Boom! Boom! ”
With two muffled sounds, two black dots flew into the air at high speed...... A miracle was born!
Yongli couldn't believe his eyes at all!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a thing existed!
Yes, miracles were born! Everyone present witnessed that the cabin was hit by two small black dots at the same time, and then ...... Ashes!
"Blossom bomb?! Five miles away! ”
Zheng Guo's eyes were black, and he sat on the ground......
It's not a miracle!
This is clearly a miracle!
