Chapter 181: Artillery Might

"Chirp, tweet, tweet!" "Chirp, tweet, tweet!" Hundreds of mortar shells roared into the sky, and the entire artillery battalion position was covered with gunsmoke. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The shells drew a parabola in the sky, over the heads of the musketeers in front of them, and headed straight for the charging Jiannu cavalry.

"Hmm!" Qin Liangyu exhaled deeply.

As soon as she heard Wang Rui's order to open fire just now, she suddenly worried about whether she would hit the musketeers in front of her.

After all, the Tiger Squat Cannon she was familiar with had a short range and a small shooting angle, so it couldn't hit a parabola as high as a mortar. However, in the current situation, it seems that it is fine, at least there will be no casualties on your side.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Two hundred mortar shells rushed into the ranks of the Jiannu cavalry with unmistakable accuracy, and shrapnel and shock waves rushed in all directions, blowing the cavalry and horses to the ground.

As pillars of smoke rose from the columns, countless severed limbs and severed arms flew down with blood in the smoke. Many horses and soldiers who had not been killed on the spot after being blown down began to wail and scream.

"Hit it well! It's too bad! Qin Xiaojing occupied Wang Rui's telescope, and after clearly seeing the tragic situation of the Jiannu soldiers being bombed, he shouted excitedly again.

"Reload! Hurry up and reload! After the smoke was blown away by the north wind, I saw that the artillery battalion position was in a hurry, and the soldiers on each gun position were nervously and orderly dressing and loading.

"Fire!" After seeing the green flags on each gun emplacement, Liu Yushu once again gave the order for shelling.

"Chirp, tweet, tweet!" "Chirp, tweet, tweet!" The choking smoke once again filled the positions of the artillery battalion, and the two hundred mortars once again roared cruelly towards the cavalry charging at Jiannu.

"Brother Wang, you cannons are fighting fast!" Ma Xianglin praised sincerely.

Like Qin Liangyu and others, he originally thought that the Laizhou Army would need to take some time to complete the reloading again, but he never thought that in less than seven or eight breaths, another round of artillery of the Laizhou Army would be fired.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Hundreds of mortar shells shot up into the sky again, like locusts sweeping the sky, and like flocks of finches covering the sky, they were densely packed and rained down in the air.

The entire Jiannu charging team was instantly filled with the flames that exploded like bamboo shoots after the rain, and the explosions came and went, endlessly. The severed limbs were tossed into the air in clusters of blood mist.

"Adjust the firing distance, focus on hitting 300 steps, 400 steps, 500 steps! Hurry, hurry! Move fast! ”

Liu Yushu took the "military telescope" polished by Wang Rui and Ma Ju, and was quite dissatisfied with this round of shelling, shouting and shouting to order the artillery battalion to adjust the range of artillery fire.

A moment later, with the scream of heart-rending warheads squeezing the air, hundreds of mortar shells once again burst through the air and plunged headlong into the center of the Jiannu cavalry, which was crowded into several regiments.

For a moment, shrapnel flew, shock waves raged, flames rolled, and with every deafening explosion, countless stumps, flesh, and blood rained up in the air.

"Ahh "Help! The fragments of limbs in the ranks of the Jiannu cavalry fell like rain and pear blossoms.

Those who were directly killed were lucky, and those Jiannu soldiers who had only been cut off their hands and feet and had not yet died were lying in the pile of corpses struggling and writhing in pain at this time.

The pain of the flesh may be nothing, and the blood and stumps that rain down on the body are even more life-threatening talismans, making them scream and scream in despair!

Like a raging storm, with almost no stagnation, round after round of cannonball attacks that swept through the thousands of troops, the death toll of the Jiannu frontal charge began to skyrocket.

"Rush! Rush over! Kill all these dogs! ”

The heavy shelling frightened Hauge and inspired him to be a savage. Haug waved his horsewhip wildly, urging his armor to lunge forward.

"Master, master! Can't rush! Can't rush! The warriors have been shot out by the cannons of the Han dogs! ”

Finally, a sober-minded Bayala realized that the situation was not right, and rushed to Hauge's side to persuade him.

"Smack!" Hauge, who was extremely angry, gave him a whip casually, glared at two eyes like bull's eyes, and scolded angrily: "Dog minion! Coward! Rush to Lao Tzu! ”

"Master!" The other Bayala beside him also came to his senses, and was about to be persuaded again. Suddenly, "Boom! With a bang, a mortar shell landed beside Hauge and the others without warning.

In the frightened eyes of everyone, the Bayala who ran to persuade him just now was directly slammed into a hole the size of a bowl, and fell down before he had time to let out a howl.

"Protect the master!" A few of the bayaras reacted quickly, and swooped down like lightning, acting as a human shield for Hauge, the master.

Even so, a piece of shrapnel broke through Hauge's armor and burrowed into the muscles of his left shoulder. Blood flowed out of the crack, stinking and sticky.

Soon after Haoge led the five Niu Lu of the Zhenghuang Banner to charge from the front, the other eight Niu Lu drawn by Mang Gurtai were also divided into two teams and attacked the Laizhou army from the left and right flanks respectively.

Mang Gurtai's subordinates suffered a big loss during the Battle of Gu'an, and later saw that Dolgon was also suffocated, so he was a little cautious when he led the team this time.

For example, when he assigned the task, he played a trick and sent eight Niu Lu to attack the two wings, all of which were from other banners.

Mang Gurtai is an old man, although he doesn't think that this Ming army is really invincible in the world, but it is estimated that it is definitely not easy to get along.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best choice for him to send the Niu Lu of other banners to attack first and try the poison for himself.

If defeated, the losses suffered will be the same as those of the other banners. If you really play well, you can also get some fruits of victory by following your positive blue flag and chasing after the victory.

Anyway, in a word, he is playing the trick of "dead friends do not die poor", holding other flags as guns.

The Jiannu army sent out to participate in the attack on both sides was separated from Hauge's middle route army by some distance.

Therefore, even after a fierce artillery bombardment by the Laizhou army, the headquarters of Haoge in front was blown to the ground, and the other Niu Lu were still stupidly kept in the dark.

Of course, in the two Niu Lu on the left and right who were close to the frontal assault position, there were still many people who saw the horror caused by the large-scale artillery bombardment of the Laizhou army. This part of the cunning Jiannu involuntarily retreated in their hearts.

Because it was to attack around the two flanks of the Laizhou army, the eight Niulu troops that cooperated with the attack had a farther distance to reach the attack position.

Hauge's yellow flag had already been shelled several times in front of him, and the forward of these guys could run to the edge of the sea.

Because it was in the Xiaoice River period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a thick layer of ice had long formed on the surface of Niantan Haizi in midwinter.

Around the peninsula where the Laizhou army was arranged, because the lake was only seven or eight feet deep, it was even more frozen to the point of being unusually solid. Even if a large number of men and horses are running on it, it will not break easily.

I have to say that the Jiannu army in this era, under the constraints of cruel military law, is indeed fearless of death. Although they heard the sound of cannon fire not far away, these barbarians did not have any fear.

The eight Niu Lu, who had been sent to attack from both flanks, sent several horsemen to test the bearing capacity of the ice, and then began to rush out like a flood overflowing the flat ground, and launched an attack on the left and right sides of the Laizhou army.

The two wings of the Ming army were always the weakest, and the faces of many Jiannu began to glow with the joy of victory......

I just don't know, will I be happy too soon?
