After a burst of machine springs, several well-aligned trebuchets lined up and threw hundreds of pineapple blossom bombs in turn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info ran all the way, ready to attack the city's stragglers, before touching the city wall, found that hundreds of black spots flew in the sky, the reaction quickly raised the wooden shield, resisted, because the cannonball is hollow flowering projectile weight is not too large, and it is a trebuchet projectile, the impact is not strong, the strong body reflects fast, there is a wooden shield unloading, there is not much damage, unless the unlucky one is hit by a direct cannonball, then it will not die and take off the skin.

Many Mongols fought with the Ming army, and they all saw the power of the red-coated cannons, and at the beginning they saw so many shells flying over, and many people were scared half to death. When someone used a wooden shield to open a cannonball, everyone immediately cheered up, and some people shouted, "The Ming people only dare to hide behind the city wall and put cold arrows like the girls, and now even the cannonballs of the Ming people are up, and the city is broken today, and the brothers rush ah" Countless stout and tall Jurchen savages and Mongol defeated warriors, in addition to seeing the Ming army in addition to the small number of artillery guns fired at the beginning, the power is amazing, and often a cannon down is a blood channel, but the later cannonballs are like that, a wooden shield can be blocked, although the group of natives don't know what's going on, but seeing that the power of the cannonballs had been greatly reduced, he was no longer so afraid, and he carried the ladder and continued to charge and attack the city.

It was just that the crowd that was charging by, and no one noticed that there was a spark that was frantically burning the fuses of the shells that were considered harmless when they fell to the ground. The fuse faded away, and a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded on the battlefield, and the lives of the soldiers near the Flame Reaper who rose from the explosion were swept away by the flames, and the projectiles flew indiscriminately with huge kinetic energy. Countless people who had not yet reacted to the explosion were knocked to the ground like wheat harvesting.

With a series of explosions, severed limbs and shrapnel flew all over the battlefield, blood and fire competed, accompanied by the soldier's wail before death, and the place where the shells passed was like a purgatory on earth. This round of blows made countless Mongolian and Jurchen soldiers frightened, this group of primitive ignorant human beings was still out of the era of tribal worship, in the face of the Ming firearms, whether it was the cannon fodder regiment charging in front, or the Huang Taiji and the tribal leaders who watched the battle in the rear, they were silent for a while, and the fierce confrontation between cold weapons and firearms made the rear supervisors forget to drive the soldiers forward.

"When did the Ming people develop such sharp firearms. The group of spies lurking among the Ming people did not find out" Huang Taiji angrily threw out his horsewhip and shouted loudly to the strategists around him, in the face of the strength of the firearms that the Ming army showed for the first time, Huang Taiji looked frightened, although the firearms of the Ming army in the past were sharp, but the number was scarce, and it was far from playing a decisive role in the war, and the final decision to win was still the fight of cold weapons between the battlefields, and this is the strength of the Jurchens, but now they have lost these advantages How to compete with the Ming people.

The reason why the firearms army of the Ming Dynasty was not the opponent of the Jurchens was, on the one hand, the quality of weapons in the later period, and on the other hand, the lack of equipment and training.

When Chongzhen came to this world, he immediately wanted to form a new army equipped with muskets and artillery to train a modern army, like other traversers. It's just that this dream found that the reality is cruel after he accepted Wei Zhongxian's inheritance and used the general trend of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony to collect the money of hundreds of officials and enrich the inner library, and he found that the reality is cruel, in this period, it is not rich that can be immediately converted into productivity, and the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are almost all hand-polished, and if you want a large number of firearms and artillery, you have money, and you don't have so many craftsmen to produce. And a red-coated cannon can easily cost thousands of taels of silver, and it is not that his own money can popularize the whole army.

Chongzhen tossed for a few years, in order to collect money and forced most of the world to rebel, but only in the main army, each squad can be equipped with a gun, as for artillery, even the most tight Songjin defense line is only one hundred and ten miscellaneous cannons, it is obvious that Chongzhen's dream of a modern army composed of all kinds of firearms has gone bankrupt.

Since the development of science and technology, the training of craftsmen is not an overnight thing, Chongzhen thought of improving the existing combat methods, into the battlefield test, obviously, whether it is the previous bed crossbow fired pottery hollow filled with fire oil God rocket, or now trebuchet projectile cast pig iron poured pineapple blossom bomb, although a single weapon is far inferior to the red-coated cannon in terms of power, range, and accuracy, but these things can use the existing technology to manufacture equipment on a large scale, as a formed god rocket and flowering pineapple bullet appeared, The salvo that formed the array already had the power to change the situation of the war, and such a power was far from being comparable to a few red-coated cannons.

"Mingjin collects his troops, sends people to summon the major chiefs Ezhen Beile, and those Ming Dynasty scholars who are loyal to Dajin come to Ben Khan's big tent to discuss matters" In the face of such a powerful firearm, if Huang Taiji forces this group of frightened cannon fodder troops to go to death, once a mutiny occurs, although he has hundreds of thousands of troops that can be suppressed, but the two armies are facing each other, in case of a mutiny on his side, whether it is the ridicule of the Ming people on the other side, or the blow to the morale of the already side, it is not what Huang Taiji is willing to bear.

It wasn't until Mingjin's military order came that the entire battlefield came alive, and for a while, those who were injured and disabled began to cry for their fathers and mothers. The cannon fodder, who was lucky not to be injured by the shells, ran faster than one another, and ran away from the battlefield one after another, running towards the camp, as if the city wall garrisoned by the Ming army in the distance had become a wild beast, which made people full of fear.

Qin Liangyu, the commander of the battle who was floating above Jinzhou in a hot air balloon, also began to inform the soldiers below to drag the cable and prepare to land after the Jurchens collected their troops. Lu Xiangsheng, who heard the news of the battle and rushed to support, led his soldiers to stand on the top of the city and stand against the wall, quietly observing the battlefield below, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Lord Qin" and "Lord Lu" have cooperated to defend Liaodong for many days, and they both admire each other's abilities very much, although Qin Liangyu, as the secretary of the military department and the governor of Jiliao, commands hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. But Lu Xiangsheng is also a popular person around the emperor who leads the army alone, and he is not controlled by Qin Liangyu, the governor of Jiliao, so the relationship between the two is not as strict as that of ordinary superiors and subordinates.

"Report, two adults, the enemy troops under the city have begun to retreat, and there are a large number of wounded soldiers left on the battlefield, do you continue to fire shells to annihilate the enemy army?"

"No need, sometimes the living are much more troublesome than the dead, what does Lord Lu think?" Qin Liangyu asked Lu Xiangsheng beside him for his opinion.

"Lord Qin's high opinion" Lu Xiangsheng deeply agreed with this, the two of them did not have pity for the wounded soldiers under the city, Ci is not in charge of the army, and the generals who can successfully leave a name in history with their combat power, which one is a benevolent person. It's just that the return of the wounded soldiers who survived on the battlefield is far more valuable to the two of them than the heads of the dead in battle.
