Chapter 468: Cannonballs
After the artillerymen had removed the batteries on the hill, they began to bombard the fortress of Dabi Mountain. The Great Pen Hill www.biquge.info has been transformed into a fortress by Dolgon, and the whole hill is densely packed with high platforms and moats. But no matter how strong these fortifications were, they were only targets in the eyes of the artillery of the Elective Regiment. As long as there are many people on any high platform on the mountain, there will be flowering bullets to greet that side.
The bomb seemed to have eyes, and it whizzed towards one target after another. Waves of explosions exploded one after another on the mountain, and the shotgun projectiles swept over the high platforms like a grim reaper, injuring and killing the Qing soldiers above.
Dabi Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, lost its defensive role in the face of artillery, and the Qing army guarding Dabi Mountain became a weak man who could only be beaten and could not fight back, and was blown up to the point of crying wolf. The soldiers on the hill fled one after another, hiding behind bunkers, behind the bulging hills, in potholes, in short, looking for any place to hide.
It's an extremely terrible thing to be bombarded with a cannon, let alone a flowering shell? The morale of the Qing soldiers plummeted. After several rounds of bombing, the Qing army on the mountain became a mess.
Some of the soldiers even ran out of their own defensive elevations to other elevated platforms that were not easy to receive shells.
Zhengbai Banner Melle Zhangjinglelu is the general of Dolgon, the owner of Zhengbai Banner, who is standing in the enemy tower on the top of the mountain and accompanying Dolgon to watch the Ming army's bombardment of Dabi Mountain. Melerzhangjing's position in each banner is second to that of Gushan Ezhen, with several per flag, assisting the flag owner in managing the affairs of the flag. On the battlefield, Melerzhangjing can also lead a side of soldiers and horses to fight.
Of course, Grerus did not want to go to war. After the Ming army Li Zhi came, going to the battlefield became an extremely dangerous thing. Li Zhi's firearms and cannons will easily kill all the Qing generals who rush ahead. Li Zhi changed the way the Qing soldiers and horses fought in the past, and even the Qing generals who were used to taking the lead in the past now had to hide behind and command.
Gello was worried about whether this enemy building would be bombed by Li Zhi, but he heard Dolgon say lightly: "Gelroh, the soldiers below have been blown up by the shells and are in chaos, you bring some people to command below to stabilize the morale of the army!" ”
Gelloch suspected that he had misheard, and to command below in such a bombardment by the Ming army, didn't he want his own life? He: "Huh? He sighed, full of disbelief.
Dolgon was a little displeased, and said, "I'll let you go down and command!" Stabilize the morale of the military! ”
Dorgon was not a good servant, and Greroch did not dare to disobey his commands, and ten thousand reluctantly agreed. With a dozen personal guards, he walked out of the enemy tower on the top of the mountain tremblingly.
On the first high platform outside the enemy building, the Qing army above was very chaotic. Dozens of soldiers were all lying on the back of the high platform, lying on the ground to avoid the flowering bullets that might be fired. Greloch drew his whip, went up and slashed his head and face, and shouted, "Get on the edge of the high platform!" How do you defend yourself by hiding inside? What should the Ming army do if they climb the ladder and attack it? ”
The soldiers regained some courage when they saw that Mel Zhangjing had taken the lead and walked out of the enemy tower. They got up and ran to the edge of the platform and fell down again. Although they are still lying on the ground, at least the soldiers are guarding the side of the high platform, which can defend against the Ming army who can attack the mountain at any time.
After teaching these soldiers a lesson, Gellu continued to walk down the mountain with courage, beating the Qing troops who were huddled in the corners in a panic all the way, forcing the Qing soldiers to return to the edge of the high platform. Greroth followed a winding descent of steps from the top of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain. The Qing army was taught a lesson by Gellu all the way and restored some order.
However, Gelloch's actions soon attracted the attention of the artillerymen under the mountain.
Twenty heavy artillery pieces were aimed at this Qing army official and opened fire on him.
Gello was teaching dozens of Qing soldiers on the mountainside, but suddenly heard a screaming sound of breaking the air, and dozens of shells drew dozens of death curves in the air and flew towards him. Greroch was so frightened that he threw the whip away, and fell to the ground with his head in his hands in a panic.
Twenty flowering shells landed within fifty meters of Gellu, bounced, and killed three unlucky Qing soldiers. Then the shell rolled on the ground for a while and exploded with a bang.
Grero felt huge sparks erupt in all directions, and the terrible blast of the gas knocked the entire platform overturned, and iron projectiles flew everywhere. Fortunately, Gelloch was lying on the ground and was not shot. But when the shells were finished, Grero found that his braids had been lifted above his head by the air waves, and two iron projectiles were still falling beside him.
On the high platform, five or six Qing soldiers who were too close to the explosion point of the flower bomb were shot. The flowering projectile pierced the bodies of these Qing soldiers, stirring up a large stream of blood. The wounded soldiers rolled and twitched on the ground, screaming and groaning, and Greruch's face turned pale at the sight.
This Li Zhi's flowering bomb is really too domineering.
How could twenty shells be fired at this high platform where he was? Is he being targeted by Li Zhi? Greroch was so frightened that he lay on the ground and did not dare to get up.
A minute later, twenty heavy guns aimed at Gello opened fire again. Twenty more shells were fired at Grad. This time the artillery was more accurate, and two shells landed on Greroth's side, and black smoke was emitting from the fuses.
Greroth was so frightened that he crawled to the ground and rushed to the place where there were no shells.
Only a few cannon booms were heard, and another twenty flowering shells were exploded. Fortunately, Grelu ran fast and was not bombed.
However, five or six Qing soldiers around Gelroth who were slow to flee were killed. One of the Qing soldiers' left hand was blown off, revealing the white bones inside. He screamed and covered his wound with his hands, but he couldn't hide the blood gushing out like a spring.
The Qing soldiers on this platform have lost order. When they saw two rounds of shells bombarding this small high platform, they did not dare to stay here any longer, and one by one they set up ladders and climbed up to other high platforms.
Gellu secretly said that he was being targeted by the Ming army? He didn't dare to hold it up, he looked around for a while, and found a stone house a hundred meters away that looked solid.
The house was for the rest of the officers, and it was built quite strongly. Gellusa ran to the back of the stone house, but saw that it was already crowded with Qing soldiers hiding from the shells.
When the Qing soldiers saw that Mel Zhangjing found themselves hiding here, their faces were panicked, thinking that Gelelu was going to teach them a lesson. But Gelloch himself came to hide, and he was embarrassed to reprimand the other Qing soldiers. He kicked away a few Qing soldiers who were in the way, walked into the back of the stone house with his guards, and sat on the ground.
However, Greroth overestimated the defenses of the stone house.
Twenty more flowering bombs flew and smashed the stone house. The stone house collapsed under the impact of the flowering bomb, turning it into a pile of broken stones.
