Chapter 341: A Mess
At this time, the shelling in the direction of Yong'anmen in Jinzhou had been going on for an hour and a half, and the twelve six-pounder field guns had fired 360 cast-iron spherical shells close to the four and a half catties of the Ming Dynasty's unit of measurement, and more than half of them had fallen on the city.
The splashed fragments of masonry killed and injured many Houjin troops, and there were also particularly unlucky Jiannu who were directly hit by the cannonballs and were shattered.
The Later Jin army learned to dodge the blockade, and when the situation was not good, they all learned to lie down on the horse road behind the battlement, but today is different, they must not only guard against the accurate direct fire of the Mini gun, but also guard against the projectile of the shell, and also guard against the refraction of the splash.
This is a big problem, and it seems that there is no way to avoid it.
The Houjin army could not observe the direction of the Ming army's artillery as it wanted, so it was rare to find out where the Ming army was aiming when the artillery was fired, and it was even more impossible to predict the landing point.
After being shelled, the Jin army of course refused to give up, and Nahai immediately issued an order for all artillery to return fire immediately.
The barbarians took it for granted, thinking that the Ming army had hit the head of Jinzhou City with artillery, and they should have been able to hit the Ming army's artillery position if they returned fire, but unfortunately they didn't know how to compare goods and throw them.
The big traitor Ma Guangpu didn't tell the difference, because he knew that it should be a very funny thing to discuss the elevation angle, landing point, ballistics and other artillery knowledge with these idiot-like barbarians, and it was possible that he couldn't understand why our army's artillery couldn't reach the Ming army's artillery position.
He immediately commanded the Han gunners to fire all the artillery deployed in the northern section of the city wall of Jinzhou.
Of course, the gunners knew that the range of the effective projectile of flat fire and accurate elevation angle was impossible to hit the Ming artillery array, but the master gave the order to fire the artillery indiscriminately, what else could they do?
So they did everything they could to raise the muzzle of the cannon so that the shells could hit as far as possible, and they didn't care what they hit.
More than ten artillery pieces of the Houjin army finally fought a round, including the two or three catties of shells fired by the short-range Franc machine gun, all of which fell into the Ming army's position without exception.
Their luck is not too bad is not nothing, a declining army servant was hit by a cast iron ball of about seven or eight catties fired by the Hongyi cannon, and several were injured by the smashing splashes, the Ming army has armor on his body, and the damage effect caused by the splashes is not too big.
Just when the Houjin army was about to play the second round, there was trouble, that is, when the artillery was cleaning up with the wooden pole that cleaned the barrel, and for a while forgot that the Ming army was hiding from the Ming army under the city.
No sooner had he stuffed a wooden pole wrapped in cotton cloth with water into the barrel than a bloody flower appeared on the back of the artilleryman.
The blockers have been keeping a close eye on the city, the Han gunners who are responsible for firing the cannons are behind the barrels, and the snipers who are ambushed at about 200 steps of the Jinzhou city wall can't hit them, and they are secretly anxious.
The gunners of the Han army in Jinzhou stopped eating after a round, and their reloading speed was seriously affected, and the traitor Ma Guangpu, who was hiding behind a Hongyi cannon, immediately ordered all the Han troops to raise their guns to find the Ming army under the city to strike.
Raising the gun against the Mini gun, this is not a level of competition, the traitor who is forced to helpless carries the loaded gun and just stands on the battlement, it will usher in no less than four Mini bullets.
The Han army did not have a desperate consciousness, no one dared to aim, in order to deal with the Shangguan had to come to the release, they had a countermeasure, hurriedly set up the gun and did not aim at all, secretly pulled the trigger and didn't care where the two or three heavy lead bullets went.
Then they hid behind the battlements and slowly cleared and reloaded, and when they were urged to do so, they shot the guns empty.
This is the case with the servant army, they are all forced to participate in the battle, and there is a world of difference between them and the 'Red Banner Army' that took the initiative to fight for the sniper under the city of Jinzhou.
The Han gunners were difficult to load smoothly, resulting in the second round of strikes could not be completed quickly, Ma Guangpu's order to raise the gun to suppress was basically ineffective, and he had no choice but to do it brutely, and ordered the powerful Han army to raise more than a dozen iron shields to cover the gunners to clear their loads.
The Franc cannon using Zi Gong is a rear-loading run, and it is faster to complete the re-firing, but Ma Guangpu knows that firing these guns with poor air tightness and small caliber at the maximum elevation angle is self-deception, and he can only count on the Hongyi cannon to exert its might.
The return fire of the Golden State artillery is how there is room for survival with this efficiency? This is enough to illustrate the hard truth that if you fall behind, you have to be beaten!
The landing point of the shells was much more accurate during the second round of artillery bombardment by the Ming army, and it was the artillery observers who corrected the coordinates according to the landing point of the first round.
As the third and fourth rounds of artillery shells fell, the location of the Jinzhou artillery has become a hard-hit area, and at this time, only half of the Chengtoubu artillery guns that were able to fire the second round were still able to fire.
The artillery battle was ongoing, the shells of the Ming army continued to fly up the city, and the traitor gunners were beaten by the flying iron slag, stones, and brick chips to cry and cry, and at the same time, some bouncing iron balls hit the Hongyi cannon and the Franc machine gun of the Houjin army.
The cast-iron cannon was so fragile that it was broken and cracked two or three times, and those that were not hit by the shells were not much better, and the muzzles of the guns were crooked by the bricks and stones that were lifted.
The two or three thousand pounds of Hongyi cannons that rolled down were not easy to provoke, and a few Han soldiers lying on the ground couldn't dodge and were crushed to the point of blood splashing, and the scene was miserable.
The small cannon weighing 1,200 pounds of the Franc machine that was spun by the shell was also terrifying, and the Jin army that was rubbed and touched was either killed or wounded.
The city was in a mess, the ground was full of broken arms and stumps, the Han artillery finally couldn't hold it anymore, and a Han soldier who was sprayed with the blood of his comrades and his face shouted in despair:
"It's hopeless, our artillery has no way to return fire, and if we stay in the artillery position, we will wait to be smashed by the shells of the Ming army, and we will die in vain, brothers hurry up and run, we can't stay here."
Who knew that he had just run out seven or eight steps, stepped on a large pool of blood, slipped under his feet, fell out with a thud, and hit his head on the corpse of a Jiannu who was killed by a direct hit by a cannonball, and his intestines hung on his face.
The tragic situation of the broken corpse further stimulated the Han army, and he howled: "Run away, brothers, if you don't run, you may be beaten to pieces by a direct hit by a cannonball, and if you run back, you can at least leave a whole corpse!" ”
At this time, more than a dozen Han soldiers also said loudly: "Run, run, Lao Tzu is fed up and doesn't want to be broken." ”
"Brothers, big guys run together! The law does not hold the public accountable! ”
Immediately afterwards, more and more Han troops chose to flee, and the gunners and gunners who had no trace of the will to fight no longer wanted to stay in the city to be cannon fodder, and they collapsed.
