Chapter 256, Hold on to Each Other (3)
This sudden turn of events made Dordor almost dumbfounded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Duoduo has also seen the artillery of the Heavenly Blessed Army shoot before, but the artillery of the Heavenly Blessed Army is more often shelling the city wall and the like, and rarely shooting at the infantry. Some time ago in Jinzhou, when Zu Dashou's cavalry came out to fight a counterattack, the artillery of the Tianyou Army also fired at Zu Dashou's people. However, when they shelled, the distance between the two sides was hundreds of paces, and the accuracy of the shelling naturally could not be compared with the round of shelling by the model army. To deal with long-distance targets, the Tianyou Army naturally used solid artillery shells, and if such shells hit, it would of course be very powerful, especially the two 24-pounder guns they got from the "Dutch", if they hit accurately, they were enough to penetrate a marching column from beginning to end. However, compared with the model army, the artillery of the Tianyou Army neither understands trigonometric functions, nor does it lack sufficient training, so the accuracy of artillery shelling is naturally worse. It's okay for them to hit fixed walls or formations of infantry that are difficult to move at high speed, and to hit moving targets, the hit rate is completely miserable. So Duoduo never thought that the cannon could cause such a kill in one go.
"Quick! Get them down! Dodor shouted.
In fact, there was no need for Duoduo to issue orders, and the Qing army in front was completely in chaos. All who are still alive know that they can no longer stay where they are now. It didn't take long for the cannons on the opposite side to complete the loading, and then, the salvo of several cannons could instantly smash the two remaining shield carts to pieces. And then...... So they had to rush up or retreat before the Dutch artillery in front of them could finish reloading.
There is a trench more than a foot wide in front of you, so don't think about rushing over, but it's still possible to retreat. Therefore, the rest of the Qing soldiers, as long as they could still move, turned their heads and ran backwards while the artillery was still loaded. At this time, a number of soldiers emerged from behind the earthen wall, and they shot at the Qing soldiers with flintlock pistols, and knocked down several of them.
Ao Bai has always been accustomed to leading the charge, and this time is no exception. However, as the future first Barutu of the Qing Dynasty, Ao Bai was lucky, the shield cart in front of him did not fall into the trench, so he was able to avoid the subsequent salvo of shotguns. And when he retreated, Ao Bai was also very lucky not to be hit by the volley of muskets. However, Ao Bai did not feel safe, because he knew that the cannon behind him might hit a second salvo at some point, and at this time, he had not yet been able to run out of the range of the cannon's shotgun.
Fortunately, there was another trench in front of him, and Ao Bai ran a few steps, and then a fish jumped into this trench. Almost at the same time, the sound of artillery rang out behind him.
Ao Bai slammed and smashed on a "corpse", and suddenly smashed the "corpse" and "woke up". Let the "corpse" let out a scream: "Oops! ā
This corpse is Huang Deshui, who fell in the trench and pretended to be dead. Ao Bai, who suddenly smashed on him, touched the arrow stuck in his arm, and he couldn't help but scream.
Ao Bai was also startled, and when he looked at the dress of the living corpse, he knew that it must be a coat. But at this time, he didn't care to ask if this Bao Yi was pretending to be dead just now, he stood up in the trench, looked in both directions, and saw that no more people seemed to jump in. This made his heart sink, and he knew that the people who were left just now were probably more than lucky. But it also gave him an opportunity, he knew that gunpowder was a precious thing, and generally no one would have the luxury of bombarding a single soldier with a cannon. Of course, the armor of the general, which he looks like now, is a problem.
"Dog minion!" Ao Bai pulled out his knife and shouted. Huang Deshui was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a shudder.
"Master, the slave really fainted just now, didn't it...... It's not playing dead! ā
Ao Bai has quickly taken off the armor on his body: "Put this on quickly, and then run over there, or Lao Tzu will kill you!" ā
Huang Deshui almost understood at this time that the Qing Heavenly Soldiers were probably defeated, and at this time, this "master" took off his armor and put it on, and there was absolutely no kindness. However, looking at the knife in Ao Bai's hand, Huang Deshui couldn't say anything against it, so he had to slowly put it on.
"Dog minion, hurry up!" Ao Bai shouted, and he faintly heard a little noise. He knew that most of the Dutch soldiers had come to check on them.
Ao Bai grabbed Huang Deshui's braids, put the armor on him, and then grabbed his shoulders and threw Huang Deshui out of the trench with just one force, and then jumped out himself.
"Run to the left! If you dare to lean over, I'll kill you! Ao Bai shouted, and ran to the right.
The platoon commander Ye Kaizheng chased after him with more than a dozen soldiers, and just now they could see clearly that a Jian Yan wearing a well-armored armor jumped into the trench before the cannon was fired, avoiding the deadly shelling. Looking at the armor, maybe it was some kind of big official, so he chased after him with someone. But he didn't want to, and suddenly two people jumped out of the trench in front of him.
As soon as the two men jumped out, they flew to the left and right. Ye Kai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately noticed that the one running on the left was wearing that armor. At this time, several soldiers beside him raised their guns.
"Don't shoot! Catch up and catch it alive! Ye Kai shouted, and at the same time chased after the "big official" wearing armor.
This "big official" didn't run fast, and he only ran a few steps before Ye Kai chased him from behind. Ye Kai turned the flintlock pistol in his hand, and hit the leg of the "big official" with the butt of the gun, and the "big official" immediately rolled to the ground.
"Dog Tartar! You're fucking running! Run! Ye Kai turned this "Tartar official" over with one kick, and proudly stretched out the bayonet all the way to Huang Deshui's nose, admiring the frightened expression on Huang Deshui's face. The other soldiers also gathered around, and the bayonets on the flintlock pistols flashed.
"Lord...... Big...... Uncle, I'm ...... I'm not...... Not a Tartar...... This armor is the ...... Give me ......" Because of fear, Huang Deshui's voice was intermittent.
Ye Kai was taken aback, and then took a closer look, this "Tartar official" had a yellow and thin face, and at first glance, he looked like he usually had no food to eat, and when he wanted to take a closer look, he suddenly smelled a commotion. taste, looked down, but saw the two of the "Tartar officials" lying on the ground on their backs. Leg. It. The room has been wet in a large piece.
"Holy shit, fooled!" Ye Kai hurriedly looked over there, but saw that the guy who was not wearing armor had already run far away. And none of the people he brought with him chased after that guy.
"Damn! Why don't you know how to chase that? Ye Kai couldn't help but say.
"Platoon commander, we're looking at a senior officer over here......" said one of the soldiers.
At this time, a group of Manchu cavalry had already run to Aobai's side, and the leading cavalry probably recognized Aobai and gave him a horse.
At this time, the artillery of the Model Army in the distance began to fire again. This time, of course, they used solid shells, firing at the Manchu cavalry at a greater distance. Obviously, whether it is the accuracy of the artillery itself or the technical level of the artillerymen, the model army far surpasses those artillery that the Manchus have seen before, whether it is the artillery of the Ming army or the artillery of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they have never been able to hit the shells so accurately. In the first round of shelling, the artillery of the model army sent more than ten solid shells into the cavalry of the Qing army. It turned out that a cannonball fired by the Model Army directly hit this unlucky guy and smashed him to pieces. Ao Bai can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, but this is the first time I have seen such a tragic scene. He felt as if something warm was hanging on his head, so he reached out and touched it, and then he felt a piece of intestines - it was the same Niu Lu Zhangjing just now.
The round of artillery bombardment just now hit six or seven cavalrymen, and almost all of these struck cavalrymen did not have time to snort. The war horse under Aobai's crotch was also frightened, jumped up, and almost threw Aobai down, Aobai couldn't care about more, hurriedly controlled the horse, and fled into the distance, and the other cavalry also fled. The Model Army conducted another round of artillery bombardment, again knocking out five or six cavalrymen.
Ao Bai fled a long way before he gradually calmed down, and he ran until he reached the banner of Dordor before jumping off his horse and kneeling down to plead guilt to Dord.
"It's not your fault that you lost this battle, it's because the enemy is too cunning." Duoduo knew that Ao Bai was Huang Taiji's cronies, and it was not his turn to deal with it, and most of the people who died were people with yellow flags anyway, so he said, "It's just that some Dutch cannons are really ...... It's really ......."
He said two "really" in a row, but he couldn't find any words to describe it, and finally he could only sigh.
"Lord Wang, it's the first time that the minions have seen such ferocious and accurate artillery fire, compared to them, those cannons of the Tianyou Army are like children's things." Ao Bai also sighed.
"If you see these Dutchman castles in the future, you must be careful." Dodor nodded.
In fact, neither Duoduo nor Aobai knew that they had overestimated the artillery of the Model Army. Although the artillery of the Model Army is well-trained and well-equipped, compared to the Heavenly Blessing Army, I don't know where Gao Ming is. But today they were able to perform like this, especially in the last two rounds of shelling, and they were still able to ensure the accuracy of hitting moving targets at that distance, but because they had already tested any area within the range and made a detailed firing table. Without that, they wouldn't have been able to do that.
