Chapter 671: Is It Artillery? (Page 1/1)

With the beginning of the artillery battle, the prelude to the attack and defense of the city of Resharan officially began, this was the first time that the Changxing army attacked the fortress, and it was also a strong fortress built by the Dutch.

This is also the best moment for the Changxing army to test itself, and in the face of the Dutch fortress, which is also a sharp artillery, the Changxing army can really test its ability to attack fortifications.

The two sides fought back and forth for a while, and the artillery battle lasted for a morning before it gradually stopped. If you don't stop, the artillery will be in danger of exploding, and the two sides will sit down and rest like two tired people.

Liu Xitian wiped a handful of blood on his head, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of black phlegm on the ground. The artillery men were exhausted by the morning of artillery battles, and no one could hold on without a long period of training.

In the morning's artillery battle, three guns were destroyed by the Reshalan gunners, but the results of the Changxing army were equally gratifying. More than half of the artillery at the head of Resharan City has been destroyed, and if it were not for the Changxing Army to take the initiative to stop, I am afraid that there would not be a single artillery piece left at the head of Reshalan City.

The wound on his forehead was cut by flying rubble, and there was no time to treat it at the time of the fierce artillery battle, and when he stopped, he noticed that half of his face was bleeding.

Liu Xitian shouted loudly to the artillerymen: "Brothers, work hard!" Strive to defeat the artillery of the red-haired ghost in the afternoon, and make the first contribution to the capture of Resharan City! ”

The gunners all shouted yes, and they all took out fried noodles and water to replenish their strength. To say that fried noodles are really a good thing, they can be eaten at any time, and they can be stored for a long time, and they are popular with all soldiers in the Changxing Army.

After a period of rest, the afternoon artillery battle began again. Although the Dutch took advantage of the rest to repair the destroyed gun emplacements at the head of the city of Reshaland, and brought in artillery from other walls.

But the dilapidated head of the city could not be repaired so smoothly, and at the beginning of the afternoon artillery battle, Resharan fell to the disadvantage. Although the 12-pounder guns of the Changxing Army could not destroy the fortress, it could make the fortress tattered.

Once the recoil of the artillery is not released, the entire artillery may bounce off the ground.

After firing from outside a cannon and rolling sideways, killing three gunners, the artillery on the head of the city of Resharan gradually fell silent.

The moment the artillery at the head of the city was suppressed, someone in the Changxing army immediately pushed the 36-pounder Chuyang cannon towards the dug trench. This is the killing move of the Changxing army, and the artillery battle is just the power of the counterattack to destroy the head of the city of Reshalan.

If it weren't for the fact that Reshalan was on the seashore, this place would not have been able to dig deep at all, and the Changxing army would not have had to fight with Reshalan City at all.

There was so much groundwater here that the prisoners of war had already reached their feet just by digging three feet of water, and if they dug any more, the water would not reach their knees.

The Changxing army, which had no choice but to dig the trench to a depth of three feet, had to lay wooden planks at the bottom of the trench, otherwise it would be difficult for the heavy artillery to move an inch on it.

It was Reyoz's decision to abandon the artillery battle, and the Changxing army had lost a large number of gunners before the siege of the city. If the fight continues, I am afraid that by the time the Changxing army attacks the city, there will be no one who can operate artillery.

Fortunately, although the artillery of the Changxing Army was sharp, the caliber was limited after all, and it could not destroy the city of Reshalan at all. If you really want to break through Reshalan City, you still need to fill it with human lives, and without paying the price of blood, the Changxing Army will not want to take Reshalan City.

He despised the commander of the Changxing Army a little in his heart, if he took advantage of the artillery battle to attack the city desperately, it was really uncertain whether Reshalan City could be defended.

Now that the opponent has given up such a good opportunity, he is really an incompetent commander. A commander who does not dare to sacrifice is definitely not a competent commander!

But then he opened his mouth wide in surprise, pointed at the early yang cannon that the Changxing army was pushing and said, "Colonel! Captain! What is that? Is it artillery? How can the caliber be so large? ”

Equally surprised was Walter, who had seen the First Sun Cannon for the first time. It's the first time he's seen such a large caliber, is this the heavy artillery of the Changxing Army?

But what can such a short barrel do? If the shell is fired without the acceleration of the barrel, how strong is it to hit the target?

Although he didn't understand the First Yang Cannon, he instinctively felt that it would definitely not be a pleasant thing to let the Changxing Army push the First Yang Cannon forward.

"Fire! Fire! They must not be allowed to approach the city of Reshalam! Walter, out of military instinct, began to shout loudly.

Rejoz also reacted, and he immediately ordered the three hidden guns to fire at the artillery that was pushing the first sun. The sound of artillery at the head of the city of Resha was renewed, and the smoke of gunpowder once again shrouded the head of the city of Reshalan.

The artillery of the Changxing Army outside the city was not to be outdone, and the cannon of the city of Resharan sounded. They also fired to suppress the artillery at the head of the city, and the shells hit the head of the city of Reshaland, causing the surviving gunners to tremble.

When firing the cannon, he moved slowly, and he was always worried that he would be hit by the artillery of the Changxing Army. Several successive shellings were very fast from the artillery of the Changxing Army, which pushed the artillery, and Reyoz was so angry that he was in a hurry at the head of the city but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that the Changxing army had pushed the thick artillery into the trench, Reyoz couldn't do anything no matter how anxious he was. He only hoped that the ugly artillery outside the Changxing Army would be a joke as it looked, but that was just wishful thinking on his part.

Ichiro Yamamoto walked in the stagnant water that did not reach the surface of his feet, and pushed the cannon with great difficulty, and his boots under his feet were already filled with stagnant water. This is his favorite pair of boots, the whale skin is soft and comfortable, and the breathability is good.

The most important thing is ~ This is a symbol of his identity in the Changxing Army, he is different from the soldiers of the death brigade, he belongs to the official Changxing Army soldiers.

Like the Ming people, he owns Yongye Tian, and this alone envies countless Japanese people who have died. Now that his beloved boots are soaked in stagnant water, he doesn't know if he can return to his original appearance, and the thought of this makes him hate the red-haired ghost in the city.

As he was pushing the cannon, he heard the captain's call, "Yamamoto! Go visually and check the distance! ”

"Hey!" Yamamoto said yes and ran quickly through the trench. He has always carried out the words of the commander to the letter, which is why he can be trusted by the captain.

Yamamoto ran to the front of the trench and lay down on the excavated slope to observe the castle. He looked at it before he retracted and reported, "Captain! Three hundred and ten steps away! ”

"Prepare for a test launch! Three hundred and ten steps, the first shot! The captain shouted loudly to get the test gun crew ready.

"Boom!" A cannon rang out, and Reyoz's heart trembled. This voice is much louder than Chang Xingjun's voice just now, maybe it's the reason for the closeness! That's all Reyoz can do to comfort himself.
