359 No conscience cannon

The Ming army moved almost as much as possible, and finally let the soldiers on the Hongtang position feel the pressure they had not felt for a long time.

"Sword and shield soldiers ready to fight!"

"Musketeers, get on the bayonet!!"

"Grenade ready!"

All kinds of shouts rang out, and in response, groups of Hongtang soldiers lined up in a neat row drew their long knives at their waists, raised their shields in their hands, and methodically made preparations for battle.

However, first of all, in addition to the Hongtang musketeers who have never stopped, it is the Hongtang artillerymen who have seized the time to build gun positions and adjust the angle in the rear.

At this time, in the rear of the Hongtang position, in addition to the thirty or forty artillery pieces that were exposed in the eyes of the Ming army scouts, I don't know when there were nearly 100 more nondescript objects with thick cannon bodies, but with thin barrels and short barrels.

This is exactly the killer weapon that Kong Youde hid in the ox cart, wrapped tightly, and according to Li Tianyang's suggestion, there was also a consumable weapon named "No Conscience Cannon".

Thanks to the relationship he liked back then, Li Tianyang got inspiration from the book "Son-in-law", which he had been chasing more, and forged the killer feature in the hands of Kong Youde today.

It's just that what Li Tianyang doesn't remember is that this so-called "cannon without conscience" actually originated from a weapon that played a major role in the development of our party in later generations under the condition of lack of resources and artillery.

Although it seems to be a rudimentary weapon, in less than a month or two after Li Tianyang made suggestions to the R&D Institute, the R&D Institute gave Li Tianyang all the reports from physical objects to technology, indicating the birth of the "conscienceless cannon".

But when everyone really didn't think about it, thinking that its final function might not be reliable, no one thought that it was a useless thing anymore after the unconscionable cannon first landed on the Northeast battlefield and gave a large number of casualties to the Jurchen Iron Cavalry in the field.

"Boom! Bang! ”

With a slightly muffled roar, bundles of sturdy explosives rushed into the sky, opened a parabola in the sky, and smashed straight down on the road where the Ming Dynasty soldiers charged.

There were even some explosive packs, which simply crossed a long distance and fell directly at the location of the camp of the Ming army, and then soon after landing, there was a loud sound that shook the sky, accompanied by a huge shock wave, and there were basically no living creatures within a radius of two zhang.

With the advent of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, Hongmen R&D Institute has focused on more advanced chemical preparations, no longer limited to the use of charcoal, saltpeter and other raw materials.

Of course, the probability of accidents in the R&D institute has increased exponentially, and even the R&D institute that has preliminary production technologies such as nitroglycerin has not been able to fully understand the principle of action because of the lack of understanding of the nature of chemistry, which makes the price paid by everyone in the experiment extremely heavy.

Among them, things like nitroglycerin, which can only be made in the laboratory and have not yet matured the manufacturing process, can only stay at the technical level, but because of various research directions, Hongmen's gunpowder formula has also made great progress.

Even the R&D members of Hongmen didn't even figure out what they had accidentally discovered, what it was, and in the end, because the experiment was too dangerous, it was sealed in the dust in a stack of documents in the laboratory.

However, if someone observes carefully, they must be able to find that after the Hongtang musketeers fire ammunition now, the gunpowder smoke produced is much less, and it is almost impossible to see the signs of gunpowder filling the bottom with a single shot, which is the merit of the smokeless gunpowder developed by the Hongtang Research and Development Institute.

In the explosives bag of the "no conscience cannon", the explosives wrapped by Hongmen can almost be said to be the most powerful gunpowder of the era, and the outer layer of the gunpowder bag is wrapped with layers of iron beads and porcelain beads.

"Ah~~"

"Help me~~"

Countless wails sounded, and the two or three shots of the 100 "conscienceless cannons" of the Hongtang Third Army brought the entire decisive battlefield, and the enemy's lives were devastated.

Just now I thought that the general attack was getting to the point, but because of the sudden outbreak of the Hongtang army under the bombardment of the "conscienceless artillery", the entire Ming Dynasty charging army was broken, and the Ming Dynasty soldiers who were in contact with the Hongtang army had to rejoice at this time, because they fought with the Hongtang army, but it made their position at this time safer than their colleagues who were not close to the battlefield behind them.

Everywhere there were potholes blown out by explosives packets, and the bodies of Ming soldiers who were scattered and fell to the ground with potholes as the center, or breathing or bleeding.

"Wow!!"

Many people were frightened by the scene in front of them, and stood on the battlefield in a daze, lost their souls, while more Ming Dynasty soldiers simply threw away their weapons, let out bursts of screams, and fled.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

In the camp of the Chinese army of the Ming Dynasty in the rear, Zhang Huangyan looked at everything that happened on the battlefield with a grim face, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

The explosives package shot by the "conscienceless cannon" was still flying in the sky, and the Ming Dynasty team on the ground, which had been rushing towards the Hongtang position in the past, was running wildly in the direction of the time when they came, fearing that if they were one step slower, they would become the corpses of the group of unfortunate colleagues in the center of the battlefield.

"Where did you get so many artillery? Why do their shells explode even after they hit the ground? ”

Zhang Huangyan's lieutenant beside him asked questions tremblingly.

"Who knows?"

Zhang Huangyan only felt physically and mentally exhausted, he had calculated countless times in his heart, but he just didn't think about this, because of the sudden appearance of hundreds of artillery, the Ming Dynasty army lost more than 20,000 troops in a short period of time, and most of the remaining Ming Dynasty soldiers were also hit and lost the courage to fight again.

"Mingjin retreats!"

"The Chinese army moves forward, prepare for my rout of the army!"

You can't do anything, Zhang Huangyan is not a person who doesn't know how to be flexible, from the beginning of the war to the present, he has lost more than 30,000 people at once, and the damage caused to the Hongtang army is probably less than thousands, where is there a chance to fight again in such a war!

If they continue to persist like this, for their Ming Dynasty army, there will be no other result except for burying the remaining more than 60,000 soldiers in their hands.

"Yo, the coach on the other side really knows it!"

Kong Youde even had the leisure to tease, for the main army of the Ming Dynasty, which could almost be said to be defeated, he had no interest in continuing to pursue, after all, the other party still had a cavalry army of the city construction land that was threatening his rear formation all the time.
