736 The Gap in Civilization (3rd Update)
Compared with Huang Taiji's puzzlement and surprise, the patriarch of the Urad tribe was bleeding from his heart, and watching his clansmen fall under the arrows one by one, he couldn't help but shout anxiously: "Quick, protect it with a shield!" Quick, put on another shield, two shields protect one ......"
Turning his head, he shouted loudly in the direction of the large siege equipment that was slowly rolling behind him: "Hurry up, haven't you eaten, why don't you hurry up and push it up to cover, you're going to die......"
The Mongols behind him were not his clansmen, but from other Mongol tribes, who had no training before, and naturally had no tacit understanding with each other.
Huang Taiji looked at the back and frowned, and immediately ordered his guards to go and pass the order, so that the arrow towers and catapults behind them could move faster, and with their cover, the effect would be much better, and it would not allow the Ming army at the head of the city to shoot arrows unscrupulously.
At this time, the Urat clan chief had never felt that time passed so slowly. In just a short moment, he felt that it was a very long time, and it felt that it was only a distance of ten feet, and the trebuchet and the arrow tower used a speed slower than a snail to climb over.
The catapult stopped a little farther away than the arrow tower, and the Mongols listened to the orders of the Han army's Eight Banners, and hurried with all their hands and feet, using twelve points of strength to drive the stakes, trying to fix the trebuchet in the fastest time. Behind them, truckloads of large stones were being pulled over, and a group of Mongols were in a hurry to carry them under the trebuchet.
And on those tall arrow towers, many Mongolian archers have climbed to the top along the ladder behind, full of archers. The burden of this was that these towers were heavier, and the number of people pushing and pulling was forced to increase, slowly pushing the towers to a distance where the bow and arrow could reach the head of the city.
The leader of Jianyu watched all this from a distance, and Dai Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, after the trebuchet and arrow tower are in place, the Ming army at the head of the city will be suppressed, and the speed of filling the pit and digging the soil under will be much faster. ”
Huang Taiji nodded, looked up at the sky, and said with a little worry: "This battle must end early, it has been delayed for too long before, if the original full person is hungry again and has no strength to fight, not to mention how it will be for the Shangming army, even the morale will definitely have an impact!" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, when the road is filled, under the cover of the arrow tower and the catapult, the ladder cart and so many ordinary ladders are on it, and the so-called ant is attached to the siege of the city, but that's it. This Gaizhou is not a strong city like Ningjin, maybe you don't have to hit the city car, and this city will be taken ......"
Before Dai Shan's words were finished, he heard a "boom boom" sound, interrupting his speech, causing him to turn his head in a little shock.
I saw the smoke rising from the head of Gaizhou City, and after a long time on the battlefield, he knew at a glance that there had just been artillery fired in that place. Looking down, I saw that two arrow towers and a trebuchet were concentrated by iron eggs, although those arrow towers and trebuchets were built of rough wood, but at this time they were completely like paper paste, and they collapsed with a bang, and the archers on the arrow towers had not yet shot an arrow, and the trebuchets had not yet thrown a stone, and they had already been reimbursed.
Broken wood flew around, and the busy Mongolians and the people of the Eight Banners of the Han Army lay down together, and those who were lucky not to be affected were all frightened, and they didn't care about the accomplices who were lying on the ground crying for their fathers and mothers, and ran away with their heads in their hands.
Dai Shan was speechless, and looked at the city in a daze. Huang Taiji's face also became very gloomy, and he said hatefully: "Fifteen cannons, or the first shelling, hit three, how can these gunners be more powerful than Ning Jin's gunners?" ”
Originally, Huang Taiji still had a little luck, and the Ming army suddenly captured Gaizhou, and it was possible that it would not bring heavy artillery. In Gaizhou City, at most, there were just a few small cannons taken away by the Ming army. If it weren't for the loss of the skilled gunners sent to Jinzhou by the Qing Dynasty, they would not have used trebuchets but artillery to attack Gaizhou this time.
Now, the facts in front of him have completely shattered Huang Taiji's little luck. The Ming army not only brought artillery, but even such skilled gunners. He was sure that this was definitely not transferred from Guanning!
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's probably just luck!" Dai Shan listened and hurriedly comforted.
How to shoot the artillery accurately is really a technical job, at least the Manchurians, all of them are not this material, and only the Han people have this ability. The gunners that the Qing Dynasty had collected with great difficulty, and those selected from them, he had also gone to see the training, and it was impossible for them to have such a high hit rate. But even those gunners are now gone.
In such a comparison, Dai Shan is seventy percent sure that the Ming army's shelling is lucky enough! Otherwise......
Who knows, as soon as he finished speaking to Huang Taiji, he heard the sound of "boom boom" in his ears again, and when he heard the sound, he saw that on the head of Gaizhou City, there were streams of gunpowder smoke rising in the air, the cold wind was blowing, and the gunpowder smoke was going away.
Turning his gaze back to his own position, he was stunned to find that this time, there were four arrow towers, and two trebuchets had been hit, and the scene was a mess again.
"This ......" Dai Shan couldn't help but speak, but he could only say one word, so he couldn't say it any more. His old face was full of consternation!
It was Huang Taiji, who was stunned, and finished speaking: "How is this possible!" ”
This or this is the gap in civilization, although these Liaodong barbarians, although they can cut people with knives and shoot arrows with bows, but they can't know ballistics, they don't know how to measure, mark, etc., they are used to seeing the kind of accuracy of the previous artillery, and now they see the hit rate brought by the results of countless artillery gunpowder training in the new army artillery battalion, and they are not dumbfounded!
However, Huang Taiji is a battle-hardened person after all, and he quickly turned around and recognized the reality. The first time can be said to be luck, and the second time is definitely not luck, but strength.
He immediately ordered in an anxious tone: "Order, speed up and advance, otherwise it will be a live target, and it will be scattered by the Ming army!" ”
After finishing speaking, he saw the Mongols and the Eight Banners of the Han Army on the front line, and shouted coldly: "Let the overseers come forward, and those who flee without military orders will be executed on the spot!" ”
It is worthy of the elite of Jianyu, and the will of Huang Taiji has been implemented as quickly as possible. A team of Jianyu Governors, right on the front line, executed those who fled back one by one, and the corpses were in different places, effectively scaring those who fled back.
And behind those large siege equipment, there are also Jianyu urging with knives and guns, and it can be clearly seen that the speed of those large siege equipment has indeed accelerated!
