"Push hard! Hurry up, hurry up......"

served as Zhu Cihong's foreman guard, and later served as the commander of the new army of Xiaolingwei, but he messed up on Xiaolingwei's errand, and Feng Sizhong, who was demoted two levels to become a battalion commander, is now pushing cannons shirtless, and shouting labor horns loudly while pushing. And the whole person is black and thin, and it looks like he has suffered enough.

It's not fucking easy to follow Zhu Cihong as an official! Damn last-position cutter whips like a whip in the back of the ass. And ahead, there are all kinds of painting cakes that attract you. What kind of land, silver, lady, official position, title...... As long as you don't see through the red dust, there is always something you want to hook your soul!

Feng Sizhong is a master who can't see through, and he is desperately climbing up after dropping two levels! It really gave him a chance to climb back to the first level. It's not that he trained the Xiaoling Wei New Army well, but that his family's ancestral arithmetic and construction skills pulled him along.

His family is a member of the Tianshou Mountain Garrison Division, and he is also skilled, starting from the ancestor sealing the king's ceremony, and the ancestors have been repairing the tomb for the old Zhu family for generations - this can be exquisite, not only to know how to build, but also to be able to look at feng shui, see the celestial phenomena, but also be able to pinch and calculate. His ability to count his fingers is much better than Song Xiance.

The skills of construction, feng shui, celestial phenomena, and fortune telling are based on mathematics and gewu. Therefore, Feng Sizhong's mathematics and Gewu are very good, and it is easier to learn artillery skills.

Therefore, after the foreign general Ferreira was in place, Feng Sizhong was transferred to the artillery regiment, not only could he learn Western artillery skills from the foreign devil Ferreira, but Zhu Cihong also often taught him some knowledge of Western mathematics and Gewu.

And Feng Sizhong is about a science man, he learns quickly, and he can already calculate the trajectory simply in just a few months!

As for the little thing on the cannon ruler, he can not only memorize it, but also know the principle (also taught by Zhu Cihong), and he can calculate it himself - this is a real skill, Daming still has a bunch of general cannons here, if he can calculate the cannon ruler, it will be much more powerful to use.

In addition, Feng Sizhong will also visually measure the range! If you can't even see the distance, how can you look at Feng Shui? Within three or five miles, the error can be less than ten steps.

This ability to measure the range and his mathematical ability are simply a gunnery wizard! You don't need to worship Confucius, you can also fight very accurately.

And hitting accurately is only one aspect of gunnery. Zhu Cihong's requirements for artillery are also to fight fast and run fast!

Fighting fast can increase the density of firepower and inflict greater casualties on the enemy. And running fast, you can quickly transfer positions, and it is also conducive to the concentrated use of artillery.

The first three-pound cannon in these years was not light, not counting the gun carriage, the cannon body alone was 600 pounds, that is, five hundred and dozens of catties (more than 500 catties of bronze cast big guys, the raw materials alone were worth hundreds of taels, and the Portuguese sold Zhu Cihong for 1,200 taels and one door), plus the sturdy gun carriage, there were thousands of catties.

However, with the joint efforts of six horses and a dozen artillerymen, the artillery cart still flew on the official road - running much faster than the shield cart pushed by the Eight Banners!

......

On the left flank behind the shield line of the Qing army, Ao Bai did not ride a horse, but dismounted and walked, stepping on the deeper and deeper streams. He was followed by all the heroes of the Yellow Banner, about a thousand people, all carrying bows and arrows.

The shield cart pushed by the clothed minions was more than ten steps away from these Yellow Flag warriors, and the wheels had sunk into the water, but they were still moving slowly.

Ao Bai looked forward from the gap between the two shield carts and saw a flickering fire. This is a bonfire lit by the Ming army, which is placed in front of their large array.

The weather was fine tonight, and the moon and the light from the bonfire made Ao Bai vaguely see the Ming army in red cloth armor lined up in array, and in their array, there were countless sparks flickering - this should be the light emitted by the burning of the fire rope on the fire gun!

There are so many sparks, which means that the number of firearms is quite staggering, perhaps in the thousands.

However, Ao Bai was not afraid, because he was now the first warrior of Manchuria hiding behind the shield cart...... So I'm not afraid of firecrackers!

It makes people laugh and cry a little, the war between the Ming and Qing dynasties, to a certain extent, is a contest between the shoddy Ming Dynasty firearms and the sturdy Qing army shield vehicles!

If it weren't for these shield cars, the tens of thousands of Eight Banners wouldn't be enough to die!

If the quality of the Ming army's firearms is a little better, then it is not something that the shield car can stop! The shield chariot is actually a bit similar to the chariot fort tactics of the Europeans, and the camel warriors of Geldan in later history are also similar things.

But who still played the car fort during the thirty years of war? Similarly, Geerdan's camel city also made Emperor Kangxi's cannon bombarded into slag!

Boom.......

There were a few more shellings, and it was the six Hongyi cannons that were erected on the mountainside of Dagunling that were firing!

But this time I won't hit Zhu Cihong, it's too far away, and I can't fight at all. So Haoge let the Hongyi artillery bombard the Ming army's array.

But it did not hit, and the shells flew over the heads of the Ming soldiers. Ao Bai found that the Ming soldiers who were standing straight didn't even move...... These Nikans are too slow to react! Ao Baixin said: Stupid, how can you beat the Qing Heavenly Soldiers?

At this moment, a clothed slave of the yellow flag led by Ao Bai rushed over on the water, and shouted before he could run to Ao Bai: "Master, Master Ao, Nankou's cannon is coming!" ”

"What? Cannons up? What do you mean? "I can't even understand it.

"That's it, it's Nanko who came up with a cannon!"

"Ahh Ao Bai was a little dumbfounded, "Is it an attack cannon or a tiger squat cannon?" ”

"It's a cannon...... At least a big general's cannon! The wrapper had already arrived in front of Ao Bai and saluted, "Master, Li Niulu asked the servant to ask you, do you want to let the firecrackers go up to fight for a round?" ”

Li Niulu is the Niu Lu of the Han Army of the Zhenglan Banner, named Li Yingzhong, and is the godson of Li Jiucheng, a big traitor who defected to the Qing Dynasty with Kong Youde.

"Hit, go up and play a round!" Ao Bai hurriedly said, "Don't let Nankou set up the general's cannon!" ”

"Scum!"

Before Aobai's order arrived, Li Yingzhong, a good servant of the Zhenglan Banner who had been on the battlefield for a long time, had already ordered his firecrackers to form a formation and move forward.

In addition to the shield car, the Qing army's firecrackers and artillery are not weak! In particular, their firecrackers have two major stunts, one is to seduce the opponent to fire from a distance; The second is a salvo at close range!

Don't think it's hard to fire a salvo at close range – it's really good to get close to the enemy's fire. When the enemy has no power to fight back, it is not difficult to fire a salvo at close range. Firing squads can do it when they shoot prisoners.

And Li Yingzhong and his subordinates thought that they were a firing squad at this time - what a rare opportunity! The Ming army took the wrong medicine, and actually pulled twenty or thirty cannons to the front line, and wanted to fight on the spot...... How can there be such a cannon? Kong Youde's godson Kong Sixi doesn't have this ability.

Obviously, those Ming gunners don't know how to do it at all!

"Brothers, go up quickly, get closer!" Li Yinglong shouted excitedly, "Kill these Southern Barbarian artillerymen who don't know anything!" ”

"Kill them!"

"Follow Niu Lu Zhangjing to have meat to eat!"

"Kill!"

His musketeers are truly brave! The lobster soldiers on the past were not as good as them, and dared to charge at more than 20 three-pounder guns...... It's not a queue to be shot, it's a queue to be shot!

Twenty-four cannons cannons can't blast them to pieces!

"Commander, the Tartars are up!"

"It's the ...... of the Firecrackers"

"God, they are so brave! The Ottoman Sultan's guards can't compare with them! ”

Feng Sizhong, who was directing the artillery to deploy, heard the exclamations of the gunners in his ears, among them, there was an old foreigner who had fought in the Thirty Years War, and the surname Lu was there with a big thumb and praised the bravery of the Tartars...... It's so brave, so brave that it doesn't kill you!
