The next day, Qin Liangyu stood on the city tower and looked at the artillery in the dozens of big pits under the city of Jinzhou City, his face was iron-blue, when did those Jurchens who drank blood such a difficult time.

"Pass the order, who can knock out those underground artillery, this official will not be stingy with rewards" Huang Taiji took the artillery brought by the Ming rebels to attack the Daming city, as soon as he thought of this, Qin Liangyu's teeth itched with anger, how could the group of guys who surrendered, as the general of the Heavenly Empire, be so spineless, and actually be able to do these actions of abandoning their ancestors and taking refuge in foreign enemies.

For the use of firearms on the battlefield, it is still the patent of the Ming Dynasty, even if the Jurchens get the firearms of the rebels, there is no Jurchen to show this talent, and the living habits of Ru Mao drinking blood and the lack of corresponding education doomed that firearms are not something that the Jurchens can play, that is, the Jurchens now use firearms to fight on the battlefield, mainly relying on the Ming people who control the surrender of the past.

Before the Ming army could open fire, the tranquility of the battlefield was interrupted by the artillery fire of the Jurchens. "Boom" With a loud thunderous sound, a cannonball hit the city wall, and for a time there was a splash of rocks. A blackened gap appeared in the wall, radiating cracks in all directions.

This cannon sounded completely ignited the atmosphere of the entire battlefield, and the fires flashed in the big pit, and one by one the cannonballs flew to the city wall gate, and the lucky cannonballs hit the wall battlements directly, so that many Ming troops hiding behind the wall were blown away and fell into the city. A cannonball hit the city gate, and as the city gate was shelled, the giant gate wrapped in iron sheet made a loud noise, shaking "Hurry up, carry the stone bar to seal the city gate, and the artillerymen will immediately fire back" Under the shouts of the guards, the Ming army began to organize a counterattack.

Soon, the Ming army on the city wall reflected and began to fire back, accompanied by a roar. Cannonballs flew out on the city wall, at the same time, the fire under the city from time to time and the roar of the cannon on the city correspondingly staggered, for a time the two sides came and went, the cannonballs flew sideways, but in such an artillery bombardment, the Ming army suffered a great loss, the other party dragged the cannon into the big pit on the ground, only exposed a cannon mouth, in the face of the tall city wall, how can it hit. And the Ming army here unless the shells into the hole entrance on the ground, otherwise it is difficult to do anything, but with today's artillery shooting accuracy, if you want to hit a mile away, the pothole on the ground, this can only rely on luck, if you want to hit the target, it is almost impossible, don't look at the hot fight you come and go, but almost all the shells on the Ming side are empty.

"Chong" A large number of cannon fodder carrying ladders and wooden shields charged forward under the pressure of the Jurchen army behind them. In the face of the enemy's siege, a large number of soldiers deployed on the city wall had to take the lead and release arrows, but under the enemy's artillery strike, the unfortunate cannonballs hit the wall battlements, and could only fall down the city tower with a large amount of rubble.

"My lord, it's not a matter if it goes on like this, the Jurchens have captured a large amount of cannon fodder and sent them to their deaths to consume our army's bow and arrow ammunition, no matter how we fight, the dead are all cannon fodder captured by the other party. can't hurt the root of it at all, so you can't be beaten like this, what's the matter" couldn't take advantage of the long-term artillery battle, and some military generals in front couldn't help but run to Qin Liangyu to complain.

"What are you anxious about, it's not time yet, since he Huang Taiji likes to bombard, then slowly consume it, there are millions of homeless people behind the official The factory is working day and night, making arrows, polishing shells, and fully supporting the front line, and what is behind him Huang Taiji, the great Ming is still afraid that he Jurchen will not be able to fight a war of attrition, so let people organize people to repair the city wall, as long as the city is not broken, on the Huang Taiji's cannonball gunpowder, he can support a few days of consumption, the emperor sent a team of people to send some new weapons a few days ago, Come and don't be rude, tonight is just to practice with the Jurchens" For the Jurchens to take advantage of the artillery bombardment in a short period of time, Qin Liangyu is not in a hurry, as far as the cannonball gunpowder brought by the rebels, Huang Taiji is using a little less, as long as he guards the city gate, he wants to blow up the city wall guarded by the army with that cannon, which is not enough qualifications.

"Subordinate orders" After the general who came in to complain left, Qin Liangyu looked at the sand table in the tent and whispered: "Huang Taiji doesn't know how many days your artillery fire can last, I hope you don't die in the next attack, this officer still hopes to defeat your army on the frontal battlefield and kill you and the army before the formation." "In a day's siege battle, the corpses of cannon fodder in one place, in addition to leaving cracks and a large number of craters on the city wall, a large number of cannon fodder of Huang Taiji had no chance to meet the Ming army on the city wall and were beaten back by the fierce fire of the Ming army.

There was a gurgling sound on the city wall at night, and a mysterious cart was pushed up the city wall by a group of soldiers, and as the black bula opened, the first thing that entered was two parallel and oblique skil-pointing tracks in the sky, and below it was a strange bird that was larger than a man, made of fine bamboo reeds and shaped like a crow, and a small jar filled with fire oil or a flowering pineapple bullet with a long fuse was inside, and two "fire" cartridges were installed on both sides of the crow's body, and the bottom of the "fire" cartridge was connected with the powder and oil medicine wire in the crow's body.

This new type of firearm is Chongzhen's improved Shenhuo Flying Crow, which mainly increases and modifies the shape of the Flying Crow, after many tests, selects the most suitable for long-distance gliding flight appearance as the main body, puts a clay pot filled with fire oil or a pineapple flowering bomb in the crow's belly, there are special fixed brackets under the wings on both sides Tie the original rocket of this period with cotton thread, after the Crow lifts off, the fuel of the rocket will automatically burn out the cotton thread used to fix the shell of the rocket to fall off, and the Crow begins to glide in mid-air. Its flight range is four or five miles away in the case of tailwinds.

Of course, after this thing has been improved, the attack distance is far enough, but the accuracy is not to be considered, you can only control the direction of the attack, as for the strike range, it can probably be determined within a mile radius of the target, even if Chongzhen gathers a large number of skilled craftsmen to experiment and improve it many times, it cannot be improved again, and now it can be guaranteed that only in the absence of headwind, the Divine Fire Crow will not appear after takeoff, and fly back in a circle to hit his own people.

In the night sky, it was dark and moonless, a line of fire crossed the sky, and the black crow with the breath of death flew quietly to the Jurchen camp in the distance by the wind in the sky, in order to understand the power of the new weapon, so that it could play its role in the war, not only the generals, but also the general soldiers came to watch its combat effect, that is, Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng also stood on the city wall, looking at the death crows with sparks in the sky.
