As soon as the sun showed half of its face, the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army outside Fancheng began to get busy, the cavalry of the first battalion were eating breakfast, and the artillery of the Song Wenbu of the seventh battalion was already carrying the mountain artillery.

Forty mountain artillery, standing quietly on the north bank of the Han River, hundreds of gunners, like pines and cypresses, standing on all sides of the mountain artillery, not moving, the opposite Baimadu, the length is only three miles, the distance is not open enough, Li Zicheng did not mobilize the fourth battalion of mountain artillery.

As soon as the hour came, Song Wen immediately gave the order to "shoot", and the gunners were busy, calibrating, loading, and ignition......

The Ming army on the opposite side obviously saw the movement of the Mandate of Heaven Army, they did not believe that the artillery of the Mandate of Heaven Army could directly cross the Han River and destroy the water village that had been built with great difficulty.

But some veterans who fled back from Zhuxian Town frowned, staring at the artillery position of the Heavenly Mandate Army, indifferent and speechless on the surface, but silently praying in their hearts......

Scolding is never a battle, if scolding can kill, the cavalry of the Tartars will not be wreaking havoc in the Jingshi and Shandong areas!

The artillery of the Mandate of Heaven Army completely ignored the existence of the Ming army on the opposite bank, and did not set their sights on the south bank until after the fire was ignited.

They did not want to remember the faces of the abusive Ming soldiers and then seek revenge, but to observe the landing point of the flowering shell, the mountain artillery had been calibrated, but that was the first adjustment carried out by the artillerymen according to previous experience and the front sight and cover door, and if they wanted to improve the accuracy of the flowering shell, they had to re-adjust it according to the landing point.

Because it is a salvo, 40 mountain guns have to shoot 40 flowering shells at a time, and the trajectory of these flowering shells in the air is easy to be confused, and these observing soldiers are to "watch" the flowering shells fired by the mountain artillery of this group, and then feedback the landing point of the flowering shells to the calibrated artillery.

If the flowering projectile happens to hit the target, there is no need to adjust it for the time being, and when the target is changed, then adjust it as needed, in the absence of an electronic sight, relying only on the naked eye and experience, most of the flowering projectiles will not fall on the most desired landing point, and secondary calibration is required.

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

……

Forty flowering bombs, drawing a wonderful arc, left the barrel and flew to the Ming army water village on the south bank, most of the flowering bombs fell on the water village, or on the shore, making a deafening explosion, only a few flowering bombs accidentally fell into the river,

The Ming army obviously didn't expect the Heavenly Mandate Army's flowering bullets to have such a range, and they froze one by one, until they found their stumps and broken arms, as well as gurgling blood coming out of the wounds, before they felt the pain, and then cried one by one......

The soldiers on the water village were better, all kinds of empty wooden structures inadvertently acted as silencers#, and the soldiers on the shore, even if they were not shot, as long as they were near the crater, were either knocked over by the air wave generated by the explosion, or were injured by the invisible shock wave, holding their heads in their hands, rolling all over the ground, and letting out a wolf-like dry roar!

The Mandate of Heaven did not give the Ming army a chance to breathe, a wave just extinguished, a wave rose again, after the second adjustment, the landing point of the flowering bombs was more accurate, most of the flowering bombs fell in the water village, or in the fortifications on the bank, only a very small number of flowering bombs slipped out of the gap in the water village and slipped into the river.

Li Zicheng was located in the southwest corner of Fancheng, and he had completely forgotten about the entry of the Tartars, and was using a telescope to observe the battle situation of the flowering bombs.

Suddenly, a flowering bomb landed on a small boat, and with a loud bang, the small boat was suddenly blown to pieces, and several pieces of debris flew into the sky, rolling in the sky, and then slowly flew out of sight.

The boat was originally the support of the water village, but it suddenly disappeared at this time, the water village lost its load-bearing, and suddenly tilted to the side, and the soldiers on it were unstable on their feet, and suddenly fell into the rushing river......

Li Zicheng put down the binoculars, and his voice changed with excitement, "Good job, who shot this, reward ten taels of silver!" ”

"Dadu Dudu," Although He Xiaomi did not have a telescope, he could also find clues to the battlefield, and hurriedly said: "Reach, the flowering shells leave the barrel and mix together when they reach the air, I'm afraid it is difficult to determine who fired the shells......

Li Zicheng thought about it, at this time, the launch of the flowering shell has entered a stable stage, even the soldiers who observe it will not be as careful as at the beginning, and they must find out who fired the shells on this small boat, I am afraid it will be difficult, so he said: "Pass the order, and the artillerymen will be rewarded with two taels of silver each!" ”

The artillery of the seventh battalion was all on the battlefield at this time, and the total number of people was hundreds, two taels per person, which was thousands of taels of silver, but Li Zicheng felt that it was worth it, if he could quickly break through the Han River defense line of the Ming army, what was a thousand taels of silver?

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi agreed, turned around and whispered a few words to a personal soldier, and the personal soldier immediately left the city and ran towards the battlefield.

The news of the Mandate of Heaven's onslaught on Baimadu soon reached Zuo Liangyu's ears, he immediately got on his horse and came to Baimadu with his guards, wanting to see what was going on, the guard saw Zuo Liangyu, and suddenly seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly cried and shouted: "My lord, the artillery fire of the Mandate of Heaven is too fierce, and it is a flowering bomb again, the water village has been destroyed, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and they are about to be unable to withstand it......"

Zuo Liangyu kicked over the guard and roared: "Waste, don't you have artillery?" ”

"My lord, our artillery has insufficient range and can't hit the other side at all," the guard turned over, didn't dare to get up, walked a few steps on his knees, and returned to Zuo Liangyu's body, with a handful of snot and tears, "If our artillery had been put on the fortifications, I am afraid it would have been blown up a long time ago......"

Zuo Liangyu raised his hand and asked the guard to get up, and his eyes fell on the dilapidated fortifications on the shore, and what made him even more distressed was the corpses of the soldiers and the rolling wounded soldiers.

These are the capital of his life!

The imperial court has always been helpless against him, because of these soldiers in his hands, if it weren't for a large number of soldiers, Zhu Xianzhen would withdraw his troops without authorization, and he wouldn't end up with the same fate as He Renlong?

He swept around, and his eyes fell on the water village not far away, the water village was dilapidated, and most of the boats and trees that had been blown up by flowering bombs had fallen into the water because they could not be repaired in time, becoming a real "underwater village......

Zuo Liangyu frowned unconsciously, his eyes unconsciously fell on the position of the Heavenly Mandate Army opposite, dozens of artillery pieces were spitting out tongues of fire unscrupulously, and behind these artillery, tens of thousands of cavalry were already ready to go......

In case these cavalry break through the water wall......

Just when Zuo Liangyu hesitated, a flowering bullet happened to land on a fortification on the shore, after a violent explosion, the fortification was completely destroyed, and several soldiers who were originally guarding the fortifications did not even let out a scream, they lost their breath, their intestines were rotten, their limbs were mutilated, and their blood was rushing......

Zuo Liangyu was shocked into a cold sweat, and the landing point of the flowering bullet was less than a hundred steps away from him, and he could see it clearly! Such artillery, if the soldiers are left on the fortifications, is completely waiting for death!

At this moment, he knew why the guard was crying.

The firearms of the Mandate of Heaven are indeed too sharp...... He thought of Yuncheng, of Zhuxian Town, and even more of the trench north of Weishi County......

Zuo Liangyu's heart suddenly flew high, but he couldn't fall, he felt that something was missing, just like when he was sleeping at night, he was awakened by a shoe thrown away by his companion, and was waiting for the other shoe to fall, and then he could sleep beautifully, however, the shoe never fell, and the heart of waiting could not be recovered.

"My lord, the Mandate of Heaven has stopped shelling!" The guards reminded Zuo Liangyu that it turned out that the explosion of the flowering bomb was gone.

Have you been waiting for the explosion?

Zuo Liangyu felt that he had been insulted, could it be that he was the meal on the plate of the Heavenly Mandate Army?

In his heart, there was a faint hatred, but more of it was fear, the fear of the Heavenly Mandate Army......

Why did the Providence's artillery stop when it was in full swing? Zuo Liangyu's heart was shocked, could it be ......

He raised his eyes to look at the opposite side, and as expected, the gunners of the Heavenly Mandate Army were dragging the artillery to both sides, and the cavalry behind the artillery was already ready to move!

"My lord, the cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven is about to cross the river!"

It must be like this, as soon as the cannon stops, the cavalry and infantry of the Mandate of Heaven Army should cross the river, and the officers and soldiers have been frightened by the artillery of the Mandate of Heaven Army, do they still have the strength to fight?

Zuo Liangyu felt helpless, helpless with poor strength, he sighed, the firearms of the Heavenly Mandate Army ......

The artillery of the Mandate of Heaven moved quickly to make way for the middle road, and the cavalry had already begun to attack, but on the right side of the cavalry, there were still many civilians in single shirts.

Zuo Liangyu was taken aback, and the people ...... Why did the people serve the Mandate of Heaven, were they held hostage by the Mandate of Heaven?

However, to his disappointment, these people, who were not under the control of the Mandate of Heaven, ran very happily, and in the face of the icy and biting water, the people did not hesitate and plunged into the river!

Li Zicheng in Fancheng was also very surprised, he removed the binoculars, turned around and asked, "Xiaomi, why did these people appear on the battlefield?" Don't they know that in front of the two armies, they may lose their lives at any time? ”

"The Metropolitan Governor ......" He Xiaomi hesitated: "Listen to Mr. Niu, these people are all voluntary!" ”

"Voluntary?" Li Zicheng was puzzled, "This is the battlefield, why did Mr. Niu agree to cross the river with the people and cavalry?" Even if they want to cross the river, they will have to wait until the end of the war, and it will not be a day or two! ”

"Governor, the people are not going to cross the river, but ...... It's the Mandate of Heaven Army," He Mi gritted his teeth, and finally said: "The cavalry of the first battalion crossed the river, but there are many dilapidated fortifications of the Ming army on the bank, and the men and horses are very vulnerable, and these fortifications must be cleared so that the war horses can cross the river......"

"Huh?" Only then did Li Zicheng understand that the people were to assist the Heavenly Mandate Army in clearing the fortifications, and shouted angrily: "Why use the people? Don't we have infantry? This is the battlefield ......"

He Xiaomi said cautiously: "This is arranged by Mr. Niu, Mr. Niu said that the people heard that the Mandate of Heaven army crossed the river to fight Zuo Liangyu, and they asked for war ......"

Li Zicheng understood that Niu Jinxing let the soldiers participate in the attack on the enemy, in order to create a harmonious atmosphere of "the army and the people are a family", and the people participated in the battle in their own way, so they were completely integrated with the Mandate of Heaven Army.

However, this is a battlefield, the people have not been trained, and once they are attacked by the Ming army, they are bound to suffer heavy casualties!

Li Zicheng's blood was boiling for a while, and he silently muttered in his heart: The people of Fancheng, I swear here, the Heavenly Mandate Army will not let you down, let alone fail you......

After taking the oath, Li Zicheng still felt that it was insufficient, so he said in a deep voice: "Xiaomi, tell Mr. Niu that the people who participated in the war today will be given one or two pieces of silver each, and the people who are killed or injured will be given bereavement pensions in time according to the standards of the Mandate of Heaven Army!" ”

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, my subordinates have written it down!"

At this time, the people had crossed the Han River and were demolishing the water village of the Ming army on the south bank, but fortunately, the Ming army had fled with Zuo Liangyu, and the people were not slaughtered.
