Chapter 302: Gunner of the Divine Machine Battalion
Whirringββββββ gusts of wind blew from the row of shield cars, the shield car was a layer of wood, covered with a layer of iron sheet, a layer of cowhide, and at this moment the number of iron sheets on the shield car was thickened by three layers, just to defend against the Lu Mi Gong in the Xiaochuan army, Kong Youde stood in front of the shield car, looked at the thickened iron sheet a little strange, and said: "Lord Belle, this shield car is already heavy, so with the addition of iron sheets, isn't it more difficult to push"
Hauge on the side looked impatient, and said, "Go, Benbelga Iron Sheet is for you dog slaves to want to know, go and push the shield cart for me."
Kong Youde was helpless, but his heart became more and more excited, these Baylors seemed to be very jealous of the Ming army Xuanda troops on the opposite side, he smiled, if the cavalry fights, he is not the opponent of Xuanda, if it is a tough battle, who is the opponent of his Han army flag artillery, firecracker, and said: "Quick, push!" He glanced at Geng Zhongming next to him, but he couldn't let him snatch the credit.
A row of shield carts was pushed up by the Han army flag soldiers with a creaking sound, and the back door was a Franc machine, and the red-clothed cannons were all gathered, lined up, more than 200 artillery pieces were lined up, and behind them were Han army flag officers with money rat tails, wearing blue cloth clothes and loaded with gunpowder.
Kong Youde shouted: "Quick, fill me, don't be lazy!" He said, taking the whip and passing over, his resolute face with a fierce expression, and glancing fiercely at the gunners.
Geng Zhongming is too, he is even more fierce, he doesn't say a word, he sees that he is lazy and whips it over, very fierce, these traitors understand that if they fail, they are very hardworking.
With a worried look in his eyes, Dolgon stood on the high platform, looking at the battlefield, the shield cart in the distance was like an iron wall, pushed forward by those musketeers, fifteen thousand Han army flag musketeers, in the middle were the elite of the Han military flag, and some Koreans, who wore the black hats with round brims that are unique to Korea.
And then there are the soldiers of the blue flag and the white flag, among which many of them are middle-aged soldiers with cold faces, they are strong, like calves, with three layers of armor on their bodies, and there is a big heart guard on their chests that reflects the cold, Nurhachi's pro-army.
Dai Shan on the side, with a hint of hope on his generous face, said: "Don't worry, the general should not worry, we are not their opponents in close combat, but those craftsmen of the artillery and fire guns can't make any good firearms, there are craftsmen who are a hundred times more than my Daqing, ten times more powerful, but the firearms are pulled behind by my Daqing." β
"That's right, fifteen thousand firecrackers, how can you open the gap, and then my Manchu elite melee battle, the Mongolian cavalry presses, and the Qingzhou army is over." Dorgon nodded. He had already ordered the army to draw lots and draw personnel to hug the enemy with 10,000 enemies to prevent the enemy from ending up together, and he was well prepared to make him believe that this battle would be won!
In the distance, the Ming army's front, looking at the row of earthen walls from a distance, is a row of artillery, a row of dark barrels flickering with cold light, all the noble gunners are quickly loaded with gunpowder, holding some rulers and other things to measure the distance, first the Franc machine, and then the red-coat cannon.
Xu Wenjue had a wave of excitement on his face, but he didn't notice that there was suddenly a group of Huns behind these gunners, and the battle would be dangerous for a while, these gunners were the main force of artillery firing for a while, if they retreated, so that the Xuan gunners of the Ming army would have to face more than 300 artillery pieces on the side.
Xiao Chuan stood beside these gunners, looked at them strangely and looked at them with a strange cannonball, and said, "Why is there a bamboo pipe stuck in this cannonball!" β
"Hehe, this is called a flowering bomb" Xu Wenjue laughed, Xiaochuan understood that the Ming Dynasty had this flowering bomb, and said: "Isn't this thing only used when attacking the city?"
"This thing is a fuse bamboo tube is not easy to get, after a long explosion is slow, the enemy will run when he sees it, if it is short, it will explode in the air, so to launch this thing, you need to accurately calculate the firing distance reached by the gunpowder, and then calculate the time, you can understand how long the bamboo pipe will explode!" Xu Wenjue explained: "However, there are really few people among the gunners of my Shenji Battalion who understand this skill, and only a few of them have the confidence to use it, and one of them is me," he said confidently.
Hearing this, Xiao Chuan nodded, if you look at it this way, the gunner skills of the Shenji Battalion are one level higher than the gunners of the Qing Army on the opposite side, next to which are more than 200 artillery pieces of the Xuanfu, Tiger Squat Cannon, Franc Machine, Red Cannon, three kinds of artillery are lined up on this, Xuanda has 280 artillery pieces of various artillery, and 240 artillery pieces of the Shenji Battalion, adding up to 500 artillery pieces.
The city wall is full of the pungent smell of gunpowder, these are the most elite gunners of the Ming Dynasty, and the other party is also the most elite gunners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the two sides are preparing for the battle, looking at the Hun soldiers behind him, Xiao Chuan's eyes have a ruthless color.
"Qing gunner!" Xu Wenjue muttered, that is, looking at the row of artillery of the Qing army in the distance, he was inexplicably a little worried, swallowed his saliva, and said: "It's okay, we have an earthen wall to block it, they don't!" β
Looking at the gunners on the side who had loaded the gunpowder, the guards soldiers standing on the side silently helped Xiaochuan block his ears.
That Xu Wenjue lit the fire rope and muttered something, and shouted: "Ignition" The unique poignant sound spread throughout the battlefield.
Bang bang bangββββ in an instant, a series of violent explosions sounded, the city wall suddenly rose a brilliant firelight, the eardrum had an unspeakable pain followed by tinnitus, the ground shook continuously, and the earthen wall was like a brilliant firework.
One by one, the steel projectiles crossed one trajectory after another in the air, and landed on the shield car of the Qing army, bangββββ bursts of fire dispersed, and the shield car wrapped in iron sheets on the shield car was accompanied by bursting sounds, turning into sawdust on the ground.
The soldiers of the Han Army Banner in the back, densely arranged, let out bursts of screams, and one after another bloody alleys appeared, they were missing arms and legs, and fell to the ground, making bursts of miserable howls.
Some projectiles were slashed in the sky one after another, falling to the ground, banging ββββ the ground was raising a cloud of dust and crumbs, and a soldier with a famous Han military flag had his arm broken, or his head was smashed, and he fell to the ground screaming.
Suddenly, the tide-like array was chaotic, the dense formation of the Qing army was full of screams, and the Qing soldiers behind were all pale, they looked at the tragic scene of the Han soldiers in front, and it seemed that they couldn't imagine why there were such terrifying weapons and terrifying firearms in the world.
Kong Youde in the back was about to split, and tears were about to flow, and he said: "Open the cannon, open the cannon, aim at the Ming gunners on the city wall, open the cannon, open the cannon." He didn't understand when the artillery attached to Xuanfu had reached such a violent point, even the Guanning army did not have such fierce artillery.
The Qing army on the high platform was sluggish, Dolgon wiped his eyes, the earthen wall, the earthen wall one after another brilliant firelight rose, spitting flames, the scene of nearly five hundred artillery salvos, and then look at the Han army flag soldiers, shield carts, and the tragic situation of the soldiers, immediately nearly a thousand soldiers fell to the ground, he said: "There can be such a powerful weapon in the world!" Unbelievable! "He couldn't imagine how such a thing as artillery could have this kind of power.
The Qing army Baylor was dumbfounded, and the artillery positions of the Qing army's Han army banner were raised one after another, but some of the artillery of the Ming army was also aimed at them.
