Chapter 529: Salvo of Type 08 Field Guns

In the face of the unknown, whoever first shows ignorance, ignorance brings contempt.

This is especially true for the strong.

The Manchu Eight Banners and the Cossack cavalry from Europa have evolved over thousands of years to reach an unprecedented peak in this era of imminent rise of firearms.

It was this pinnacle of cavalry that allowed the Manchu Eight Banners and Cossack cavalry to gallop on the battlefields of the East and West for too many years, and also developed a kind of blind self-confidence that they had never had.

In the face of this modern fortress with barbed wire, the Cossack cavalry did not have the slightest fear, but felt that the Far Easterners had a lot of fancy work, and they were engaged in useless strange things.

Zhu Shun knew very well that the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Zhengbai Banner who had not gone through the baptism of World War I, as well as the Cossack cavalry who had just learned that they were still mixed in, did not know what kind of meat grinder the seemingly simple barbed wire fence was before the invention of the tank.

More than 2,000 Cossack cavalrymen dismounted and fought on foot, and without waiting for Kong Yanxun's firearms battalion to put all kinds of red-coated cannons in position, 'hulala' rushed over and began to clear these dense barbed wire.

The Cossack cavalry quickly realized the horrors of barbed wire.

The Cossack cavalry cleared the barbed wire in batches, and half of them always maintained sufficient physical strength to deal with the officers and soldiers of the Ming court who might come to sneak attack.

It's just that the distance of one or two hundred steps forward has been cleared, and the Type 08 field gun at the head of the industrial city has been loaded with ammunition and adjusted the firing angle according to the gun table under the blazing eyes of Man Danchen and the students of the Army Lecture Hall.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There are as many as five or six hundred Type 08 field guns stored in the industrial city, which is much more than the red-coat cannons and some new artillery guns in Shanhaiguan combined.

Hundreds of Type 08 field guns spewed dazzling fire at the same time, and with the sound of explosions, the ground of the entire city made of cement began to tremble.

The power exerted is like a landslide and the ground cracks.

The first wave of artillery quickly fell on the hundreds of Cossack cavalrymen who were clearing the barbed wire, and in their stunned eyes, one after another smoked shells fell from the sky.

According to Dolgon's calculations, it is impossible for the industrial city to have artillery, which is a great sin to hide artillery.

In order to clear a road as soon as possible, the Cossack cavalry stood in dense concentration, and this first wave of more than a hundred artillery salvos not only created an extremely spectacular scene.

It also had an extremely tragic effect.

Hundreds of Cossack cavalrymen gathered together were blown off by shells on the spot, and none of the Cossack cavalrymen were intact, and their deaths were extremely tragic.

Distance.

Turgenev instantly clenched the intestines around his waist, and his breathing stopped on the spot, and he was even a little out of breath.

These are all Cossack cavalry galloping through the countries of Europa like no man's land!

It's just that the words Cossack cavalry are like the Black Death in the hearts of the nobles of the Europa countries.

Thirty or forty Cossack cavalrymen with their servants could make those noble lords honestly send bread and silver coins, and respectfully send the Cossack cavalry out of their territory.

In the face of the tens of thousands of troops, the most powerful army in the Far East, only lost more than 300 people.

Now the two sides have not made contact, just a salvo of artillery, and I still did not expect a salvo from artillery.

Nearly five hundred Cossack cavalrymen died on the spot.

If Turgenev really wanted to fight in the land of Europa at the cost of nearly 500 Cossack cavalry killed, he would be able to capture a viscount territory, to say the least.

It was a viscount territory that had been accumulated for hundreds of years, and with a vast viscount territory, Turgenev's family did not have to worry about eating and drinking for generations, and could just lie down on their own viscount territory and enjoy happiness.

But what he didn't expect was that the five hundred Cossack cavalry, who were enough to exchange for a vast viscount's territory, died in front of a Zhuangzi in vain.

What Turgenev wanted to do most now was to personally lead the remaining Cossack cavalry to level the village and crush the head of the industrial marquis Zhu Shun.

However, Turgenev deserves to be an extremely good general, who controlled his inner emotions at the first time and made the most correct decision.

An order was immediately given to all the Cossack cavalry to retreat, away from the possible recurrence of shelling after fifteen minutes to half an hour.

Although Turgenev's decision was correct, both he and Dolgon had miscalculated, and it was indeed impossible for Zhu Shun to hide the artillery.

However, the Daming Arms Company can legally store a certain amount of new artillery, and has done a lot of work on this certain amount.

Before the remaining Cossack cavalry could turn their horses, they prepared to leave the barbed wire, away from the place of death, which was full of broken corpses.

The second, third, and even fourth, and fifth waves of artillery bombardment came in a continuous salvo.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In front of the industrial Hou Zhuangzi, there was really a collapse of the sky.

The roar shook the ears of Zhu Shun and the crown prince Zhu Cihong and others, even if they had already stuffed cotton in their ears, but the number of these cannons was too large to make much difference.

There was a puff of smoke everywhere, and the artillery salvos were fired too often and too many of them.

A layer of fog has formed, which can never be dispersed, let alone see the situation outside the city.

The gunners, wearing special masks soaked in water, still kept coughing, coughing up tears and snot.

If this had been replaced by ordinary officers and soldiers, they would have long been away from the Type 08 field gun, which was enough to cough people to death, and at this time, the gunners trained with the three disciplines and eight points of attention showed an unimaginable iron will.

Most of the gunners were already choking and couldn't straighten their waists, hunched over and coughing, feeling like they could cough out their lungs.

But they all insisted on standing next to the Type 08 field gun, firing a salvo of artillery over and over again, and no one left.

Zhu Shun and Prince Zhu Cihong and others had already left the city with Type 08 field guns after the fifth wave of artillery salvos, and came to the tower.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong also wore a special mask, with his Ming costumes such as the Wing Good Crown Panlong Red Robe, which looked very weird and interesting.

Zhu Shun couldn't help but take a few more looks, looking at the appearance of the ancients wearing masks.

The crown prince Zhu Cilang glanced back at the shaking ground of the city, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Mr. invented this kind of concrete, if it is replaced with an ordinary rammed earth brick city wall." ”

"Without the artillery bombardment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many places have already collapsed because of the strong seismic force."

"It's just a pity that the speed at which the cement plant produces cement is limited, and it is not enough for the industrial faction to use it themselves, let alone sell it to other places."

"If Shanhaiguan is all cast with cement, the Manchus will not want to smash the walls of Shanhaiguan in their lives."
