Zhao Shujiao did not deceive discipline, and the artillery had indeed been adjusted in place. But firing the cannon immediately, that is the art of Zhao Shujiao's language, at least Zhao Shujiao will not give the order to fire immediately.

The moat under the city, the Tartars will fill in a working road. The besieging Tartars were also far from entering the artillery ambush circle at the head of the city. If we fire now, wouldn't that be a waste of all our efforts?

"Gonggong Ji, the Tartars are about to start a large-scale siege of the city, and their rain of arrows is about to shoot on the city. It's dangerous here right now.

Look, would you rather go to the safer castle tower to watch the battle, or should you go down to the castle for a while first? ”

His mind was racing, and as soon as the wind in his mouth changed, Zhao Shujiao began to enthusiastically consider the personal safety of Ji Yong.

It's just that during the inquiry, Zhao Shujiao's pupils shrank, and he stared nervously at the military discipline of the inner guard.

Zhao Shujiao was ready, once Ji Yong insisted on firing immediately, then he would rather have a hard top than compromise.

At this moment, Zhao Shujiao was full of envy and jealousy in his heart.

Why do you say that Mangui Xiao'er is so good?

In the first battle against Ningyuan, he met Yuan Chonghuan, a boss who did not command blindly, who could let him show his strengths, succeed in the first battle, and become famous all over the world.

It's like a sad self, who met Yuan Yingtai, a blind commander in Liaoyang. Now it's easy for me to be in charge, but I have to offend a prison supervisor and military discipline.

Alas, this offended the prison army, or for the inner court out of the inner court, he Zhao led the sect to defend Jinzhou City this time, but I am afraid that the future will still be dim. But...

Suddenly laughing at himself in his heart, Zhao Shujiao's eyes became more determined.

However, in the future, let's wait for the old man to leave Jinzhou alive!

Seeing that Zhao Shujiao did not immediately order the cannon, but threatened to persuade him to leave, Ji Yongben's face turned a little pale with fright, and he was a little flushed with anger.

"Zhao Shujiao, you want to fool...", some angry Ji Yong, shouted at Zhao Shujiao.

But halfway through the shouting, his eyes swept over the dense artillery at the head of the city, as if he suddenly remembered something, and Ji Yong's shouting stopped abruptly.

The reddened face turned pale again, and Ji Yong stomped his feet: "Zhao Shujiao, you, you..., the miscellaneous family will go up to the city tower." I want to take a look and see what the hell you can do? ”

Looking at Ji Yong, who was huffing and going to the city tower, Sect Zhao let out a sigh of relief.

It's good that you haven't broken your face, it's good that you haven't broken your face! Otherwise, the main general will fight openly with the prison army, which is not very beneficial to the morale of the army.

Looking back at the carefully arranged ambush artillery at the head of the city, Zhao Shujiao's heart was full of hope.

After Ning Yuan's victory last year, Zhao Shujiao devoted himself to studying how Ning Yuan won. But what Zhao Shujiao heard from Ning Yuan's painstaking efforts was summed up with only the four words 'Jiancheng Heavy Artillery'. This made Zhao Shujiao a little disappointed.

Later, after Zhao Shujiao succeeded Man Gui and settled in Ningyuan, when he personally came into contact with the first-hand information of the first battle of Ningyuan City, Zhao Shujiao found that Ningyuan's victory was indeed based on the 'Jiancheng Heavy Artillery'.

Ningyuan's so-called fortified city relied on tall and sturdy city walls and various complete war equipment to provide excellent defense for the soldiers defending the city, so as to reduce the damage of the soldiers in wartime. And the heavy artillery that Ning Yuan said actually relied on a large number of artillery to inflict huge damage on the Tartars.

The fortified city is a shield, which can cause little damage to the soldiers, so that the soldiers can fight and have strong morale. Heavy artillery is a spear, which can inflict great damage on the enemy, making the enemy tremble and demoralized. Ning Yuan successfully achieved the thick spear tip and shield as stated in the Art of War, how could Ning Yuan not win.

Zhao Shujiao, who has been in battle for a long time, knows very well that no matter whether they are enemies or friends, no matter how brave a soldier is, when the casualties reach a certain level, they will inevitably collapse.

If he wants to hold Jinzhou, or if he wants to delay in Jinzhou for a while, then he must resolutely learn from Ning Yuan. In addition to preserving as many defenders as possible, it is also necessary to inflict as much damage as possible on the siege Tartars.

However, Zhao Shujiao, who has a lot of experience on the battlefield, also knows that on the battle array, generally only the first wave of attacks that have been prepared for the longest time and have the best momentum is the most powerful. But how to inflict maximum damage on the Tartars with the first wave of attacks made Zhao Shujiao very troubled.

In order to defend Jinzhou, the artillery allocated by Daming to Zhao Shujiao was very generous. At present, there are hundreds of large and small artillery pieces in Jinzhou City, among which the big Buddha Lang machine gun, which can be regarded as a heavy artillery, has reached as many as 30 pieces. It can be said that in addition to the absence of red-coated cannons, the number of artillery equipment in Jinzhou City has completely reached the level of Ningyuan.

However, although Jinzhou is equipped with a large number of artillery, it has a very big disadvantage, that is, the artillery is very inconvenient to move.

At this time, the artillery equipped by the Ming army was carried by carts, but most of them were supported by gun carriages. The so-called gun carriage is a fixed gun emplacement made of soil. This kind of fixed gun position, in addition to making it extremely difficult for the artillery to move, will also bring great inconvenience to the reloading and firing of artillery in wartime.

The terrain around Jinzhou City was open, and it was difficult for Zhao Shujiao to accurately predict the direction of Houjin's attack, so he could not mobilize artillery in advance. Although Jinzhou City is smaller than Ningyuan City, once the thirty Big Buddha Lang machines are divided equally among the four cities, then each city wall can only be divided into 7 or 8 Big Buddha Lang cannons at most.

7 or 8 large Buddha cannons, that is, plus some small and medium-sized artillery, how much damage can they bring to the Tartars?

It is difficult to concentrate on the use of artillery in wartime, which is the biggest shortcoming of the Ming army in Jinzhou and the Ming army in this era.

Man Gui Xiaoer, why is his life so good? Shou Ningyuan, there are also red-clothed cannons that can be concentrated at will?

Just when Zhao Shujiao's eyes were red with envy and jealousy for Man Gui's good luck, his good luck also came.

Seeing the ten iron model six-pounder cannons sent by Zhu Youzhen to support, Zhao Shujiao's troubles disappeared.

The six-pounder gun, which is also designed as a naval gun, is smaller in caliber than the redcoat cannon, but like the redcoat cannon, it is placed on a small-wheeled gun carriage specially carrying the gun body. The lightness of the six-pounder made it easier for it to move and concentrate in any direction of Jinzhou.

With the addition of these ten six-pounder guns, whose caliber was no smaller than that of the Great Buddha Lang machine, the lethality of Zhao Shujiao's artillery ambush was more than doubled.

What could be more demoralizing than inflicting more damage on the enemy than to inflict greater damage than they expected in a short period of time?

When he saw the reinforcements of the ten six-pounder guns, Zhao Shujiao was really happy and was about to go crazy.

Zhao Shujiao didn't expect that the gunner who came with the cannon gave him a bigger surprise.

The six groups of gunners who came to Jinzhou with the six-pounder guns were professional artillerymen trained by the junior team, and they all had a preliminary understanding of the various professional knowledge required to operate the artillery.

With their help, the firing range of various artillery pieces in Jinzhou City has been measured and the areas covered by them have been divided. Even the gunpowder used in various artillery, the gunners of the cadet team also helped each gun to measure the optimal firing weight.

It can be said that Zhao Shujiao's vision has been fully realized. The upcoming artillery ambush will be the strongest firepower attack in Jinzhou City.

Under the city of Jinzhou, the Houjin Han military banner, which did not know what it was going to face, saw that the moat had filled out the road, and after an excited shout, a large number of Han military flags rushed to Jinzhou with unprecedented high morale.
