Boom, boom, ......boom, boom!

The field artillery weighing hundreds of catties suddenly retreated, and 36 iron bullets flew out of the barrel and smashed on the city wall of Jinzhou in an instant.

The salvo of the artillery group on the city wall was very amazing, and even the soldiers of the Qi army fluctuated slightly, and the Jin army on the city wall was naturally even more unbearable, and the panicked cries resounded in the sky, becoming the best soundtrack for the sound of artillery bombardment.

However, it was only impressive.

After a round of shelling, the gunners quickly stepped forward and struggled to push the cannon back into its original position, while the artillery company commanders began to carefully observe the results of the first round of fire.

They found that among all the 36 guns, only 2 8-pound guns had a considerable destructive power on the city wall, and the effect of 4 4-pound guns was much weaker, and the 30 magic guns, which accounted for the absolute majority of the artillery, could only smash a small hole in the brick city wall.

However, after all, there are a large number of divine machine cannons, and all of them hit the bombardment of the city, which has a very good effect on suppressing the enemy's counterattack - at least the golden soldiers dare not brave the flying iron balls to show their heads and shoot arrows at the city.

The quality of the gunners of the new army was good, and only 8 minutes later, all the artillery fired another salvo at the walls of Jinzhou.

The screams of the enemy continued as expected.

……

"Huh~~~Huh~~~, be quiet, boy, be quiet, don't be afraid of ......."

Xu Shizhen, commander of the mounted infantry company of the Jingyuan Brigade, pulled the horse's chew hard, while gently patting the mount's neck with his left hand.

The inferior horse was frightened by the sound of the cannon, and kept neighing to retreat, but Xu Shizhen took great difficulty to appease the four-hoofed companion and prevent him from becoming a deserter.

When the Xu family was still in charge of the long house, Xu Shizhen learned to ride a horse, although his riding skills were mediocre, but he finally didn't need to learn from scratch like other cavalrymen.

Therefore, after the expansion of the new army, the Jingyuan Brigade, which lacked qualified riders, selected and transferred soldiers with horseback riding experience from the whole army and gave priority to joining them.

It was under these circumstances that Xu Shizhen was transferred to Jingyuan Camp.

He has relatively rich military experience, and when he was in the infantry unit, he also had a good performance in musket shooting, and he could speak and know how to read, plus he was a member of the Xu family, so he was quickly promoted to company commander.

It's just that Xu Shizhen doesn't want to be the company commander of the Jingyuan Brigade, he would rather go to the cavalry companies under other infantry brigades to be a real cavalryman.

At least their mounts were good horses, not cowards who were terrified by the sound of cannons.

Xu Shizhen felt that if he needed to ride it to pursue the enemy after a while, the horse would probably not be able to complete the task.

……

To tell the truth, Xu Shizhen's evaluation of his mount was too harsh.

In fact, not to mention horses, even people, at first glance they can't be indifferent when they see so many cannon salvos.

Especially the hapless ones who are living the fury of the cannons.

The Jin Jun Meng'an covered his ears with his hands and opened his mouth wide, squatting in the corner behind the city wall, shivering.

His soldiers were not much better off than he was.

Most of the armored soldiers who had been to Qi Province last year and had experience in being hit by artillery were behind the city wall like him, and they all knew very well that the power of the cannon was very amazing, and it was impossible to resist it by relying on the spirit of bravery and flesh and blood, so it was better to wait here for the enemy to run out of shells, or when the barrel of the cannon was too hot and had to stop.

But the slave soldiers, and the new daughters, had no such experience, and they ran around the city like headless flies, and some fools even tried to poke their heads out and shoot arrows.

Of course, this did not work in the slightest, and Meng An even doubted that the enemy below had noticed that they had fought back.

With a bang, the battlements on Meng'an's head were directly hit by a 2-pound cannonball, and the city was suddenly covered with flying sand and rocks, and several daughters really screamed like broken sacks and fell down the city, and one of them fell at Meng'an's feet.

The fool's head was smashed by the flying bricks, and he lay at Meng'an's feet, his eyes staring blankly at the commander of the Jin Army, and his body twitched, and he saw that he was no longer alive.

"Fool!"

Meng An raised his head and shouted at the city: "Come down!" Don't ...... on it."

Boom!

Before the words fell, there was another explosion, and a missed 4-pound iron bullet flew over and collapsed the head of the city wall.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Meng An was almost suffocated, he lay on the ground, his hands in his mouth for a long time, and finally barely breathed.

"Made! If you continue to fight like this, you have to be bullied by the Han dog! ”

The artillery of the Qi army was not in a hurry, so it bombarded up step by step in 8 minutes, even if the shells were small and the lethality was insufficient, and the number of times could cause enough damage to the city wall.

What's more, the Jurchens did not know the amount of time projected per unit of time and the life of the Qi army's artillery - this is important information that novice artillery novices can easily ignore.

"The Han dogs have occupied Lushun for ten days, and Lao Tzu and Fuzhou asked for artillery support, but they haven't come until now! Is this to Lao Tzu's death? ”

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the Jurchen aristocracy's population, soldiers, horses, and weapons are all private property, and the cannons given to Fuzhou by Liaoyang naturally belong to Meng'an, who is stationed in Fuzhou, not him, the garrison of Jinzhou, who can give him hundreds of cavalry reinforcements, I am afraid that it is still the reason why Liaoyang had strict orders before the war.

And they only sent cavalry, I'm afraid they also thought that they would be able to run if something went wrong.

When the war is going well, everyone is willing to support each other and take more trophies and achievements, and when the war situation is not going well, everyone is unwilling to use their property to help others.

But now, Meng An felt that he couldn't hold on anymore.

"Send a signal to the cavalry!"

He commanded loudly:

"Tell them, go and flank the dog! I'll lead my troops to help them! ”

Always being beaten so passively, there is no chance at all, it is better to attack once and see if you can stop the opponent's artillery from firing calmly.

……

This time, the mounted infantry of the Jingyuan Brigade and Xu Shiyang's guards were used as reserves.

Therefore, when the sentinels scattered elsewhere in Jinzhou noticed that a large force of Tartar cavalry was heading towards this side, Xu Shiyang immediately ordered the Jingyuan Brigade to prepare to block it first.

At the same time, he began to gather the scattered sentinels, plus his own cavalry, a total of 350 horsemen.

With such a powerful mobile force in his hands, if something goes wrong, Xu Shiyang also has enough fault tolerance.

Ahead, the formation of the infantry brigade also began to adjust - the enemy could not use cavalry alone to charge the formation, and the infantry in the city would inevitably attack and cooperate.

This is common sense, and even a commander like Xu Shiyang can understand this.

……

Xu Shiliu looked at the North Pole, where hundreds of Tartar cavalry were surging on a hillside in the north.

They don't seem to be fast, but they just don't look fast.

It didn't take long for Xu Shizhen to hear the rumbling of thousands of horses' hooves hitting the earth.
