By this time, the artillery had finished reloading, and the muzzle was lowered to re-aim. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info then a total of fifteen 6-pounder guns fired a salvo at the Manchu shield carts.

The distance between the two sides was only a little more than a hundred paces, and at this distance, the artillery had a very high hit rate against a target the size of a shield cart and there was no moving target, and all the shells fired by fifteen guns were hit. Two layers of thickened planks were defenseless against the solid shells fired from the six-pounder gun. After the first salvo was over, Lucien raised his binoculars and clearly saw the hole in the shield cart made by the six-pound solid cannonball, which, of course, from the front, was just a hole. But Lucien knew that if he looked at it later, it would definitely be different. Because after this round of shelling, the arrows fired by the Manchu Qing were significantly reduced.

After hitting the shield cart, the cannonball passed through the thick plank, and the huge kinetic energy tore the plank apart, and the broken wood chips flew everywhere like countless sharp knives. As archers, these Qing soldiers behind the shield cart did not wear heavy armor. So these flying wooden thorns have brought them a lot of damage. A wooden thorn the size of a dagger flew over and plunged deep into Rilha's left shoulder, blood pouring out. Of course, this time it will kill him, but after this moment, Lilha will not think about being able to shoot a bow and arrows again for a short time.

Rilha's injuries were actually quite minor, but his friend Nicholas was much more miserable, for a piece of wood had pierced through the door of his head and peeked out of the back of his head, and he had not had time to snort before he collapsed and died. Of course, there are not many people who are so unlucky that they die immediately, but there are indeed many people who are injured in various ways. So for a while, no one cared about continuing to shoot arrows.

"Yes, that's it, hit hard!" Chang Le couldn't help but shout.

At the sound of his shouting, the Model Army artillery quickly carried out a second round of firing.

The gold leap into the trench. He was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the vibration of the leap into the trench caused the shaft of the arrow to shake violently. Naturally, the wound was torn open again.

"Who? Somebody help me pull out the arrows. The gold mark was so painful that he couldn't stand up, and half-crouched in the trench and screamed. It's just that the people around him are busy running for their lives along the trench, and no one cares about him. The gold mark knows that this is definitely not a place to stay for a long time, and after a while, the Qing Heavenly Soldiers will be killed, if you see him in this trench, it must be a direct knife, so he must run to the back, although the Great Qing Heavenly Soldiers will definitely be able to kill the back, but even if you run to the back, sooner or later you will die under the knife of Lord Belle, but it is better to die later than to die immediately. So the gold standard barely supported himself, turned over his other hand, grasped the shaft of the arrow, and tried to pull it outward, and a piercing pain made him almost faint. But the arrow was not pulled out. This damn arrow has barbs on it. With each step of the golden mark, the shaft of the arrow trembled a few times, and with the arrow it moved in his flesh, making him grin in pain. He could only reluctantly hold on to the shaft of the arrow with his hand, and ran with his teeth grinning.

After running along the zigzag trench for a while, a slope appeared in front of it. An arrow was drawn on the ground next to the slope. The gold mark didn't quite understand what this meant, but he still ran along the arrow with everyone, and after running a few steps, an ice wall more than two meters high appeared in front of them, and then followed the arrow to the back of a sharp corner of the ice wall. There the ground was white. A large circle was painted in chalk, and behind them, there was a wall of ice more than two meters high.

A soldier with a musket shouted to them on the ice wall: "Stand in the circle and don't run." ”

"Let's go into the city!" Someone shouted.

"Not now, who knows if there are any spies among you!" The man above replied, "You are hiding here, and the Tartars will not be able to rush you." ”

"It's over, it's all over." There was such a thought in the heart of the golden standard, there was no wall blocking this place and the front, and there was no door or anything, at most there were two rows of rejecting horses at both ends. The Qing Heavenly Soldiers rushed here, and as long as they moved away from the horses, they could kill them all.

When Jin Biao thought about this, he became more and more scared in his heart, and his hand moved, and the arrow moved again, so painful that Jin Biao almost fainted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can any of you help the little one break the shaft of this arrow?" Gold Label shouted with a cry.

……

"The Dutch artillery fire is really sharp." Standing on a mound in the distance, Dolgon saw the "Dutch" bombardment of the shield cart and exclaimed, "Once upon a time Shang Kexi went to sea, met the Dutch fleet, and was killed more than half of the ship. At the time I laughed at him for being useless, but now it seems that it is remarkable that he can come back alive with so many ships. ”

After saying this, Dolgon sneered again and said, "It's just that if these Dutch stay at sea all the time, I don't have anyone who is their opponent in the Great Halal." But they came ashore, where their batteries could not move like ships. Antigua! ”

"The minions are here!" Ambar replied in a loud voice.

"You go and see Kong Youde and see if his cannon is ready! If you're ready, let him shoot! Dorgon said. When he had just watched the "Dutch" bombardment of the shield car, he could be sure that the "Dutch" artillery was not as big as his 24-pounder siege gun.

"Slaves have orders." Amba responded, jumped on his horse, and ran down the knoll.

……

"Obey the king! The prince asked, are your cannons ready? If you're ready, fire it. Amba didn't get off his horse, but just asked condescendingly on his horse.

"Please return to the prince, the last general has been prepared here, and the last general will immediately order the cannon!" Kong Youde replied respectfully with his hands clenched into fists. Then he turned around and gave an order to one of the generals: "Let them fire!" ”

……

Chang Le was standing on the ice wall, and he suddenly saw two puffs of gunpowder smoke rising in the distance.

"Enemy shelling!" Chang Le shouted loudly.

The soldiers lowered their bodies one after another, but a man named Zhang Bao stood up all of a sudden, holding a compass in his hand, he carefully observed the position where the smoke was generated, and then looked down at the compass, and then wrote a set of numbers in a notebook with charcoal, at this time, a cannonball flew over his head with a terrifying whistling sound, and then crossed the ice wall behind, I don't know where Luo went.

Zhang Bao didn't seem to feel anything at all, he tore off the piece of paper where the numbers were written just now, handed it to a soldier who was crouching on the side, the soldier glanced at the numbers, then stood up and waved the red and white flag in his hand, passing the numbers to the rear. In other positions, the same people are doing the same thing.

According to the numbers reported on several observation points, and then using the knowledge of trigonometry, the specific position of the Manchu artillery can be easily calculated, and then the artillery can counterattack according to this number.

The number came out quickly, and it was sent to Zhao Zhangcheng, who was in charge of artillery, and scolded directly after seeing this number.

"The dog's Tartar, hide so far, hit the hair! What a fucking coward! ”

The two guns that Kong Youde fired first were almost put to the limit. Firing at this distance, neither accuracy nor power is guaranteed.

"Leave him alone, let him waste the shells first!" Zhao Zhang became enlightened.

As Zhao Zhangcheng estimated, the accuracy of the Manchu artillery bombardment was very problematic. Compared to the tall walls of the big cities of my Ming Dynasty, the low, only a little more than two meters of ice walls are much more difficult to hit. The first two shots of the Manchu Qing Dynasty flew over the ice wall, and the third shot of the cannonball fell to the ground before it could reach the ice wall, jumped on the ground a few times, broke a few wooden stakes, and stopped before it even rolled under the ice wall.

After six or seven rounds of continuous fighting, they finally hit the ice wall, and the cannonball hit the ice wall, splashing some snow-white flying dust, and then it fell weakly to the ground. That's the power of extreme range.

Kong Youde's cannon fought slowly and leisurely for a long time, but the effect was not very obvious, and it just knocked off some ice skin.

……

"Gongshun Wang, the prince asked me to ask you, how did you hit this cannon?" Amba looked at Kong Youde angrily.

"The last general is beaten according to the orders of the prince!" Kong Youde was very aggrieved and defended.

"Don't tell me." An Ba said coldly, "If you have anything to say, come with me and tell the prince yourself." ”

……

"Prince Rui, the last general is really doing what your old man ordered here, yesterday you asked the last general, how far this cannon can hit at most, and the last general said that at most from this position. The last general also said that it is difficult to hit accurately if it is just fought from such a distance, and even if it is accurate, it may not have much strength. It was the prince who said to me, I don't know if these 'Dutch' have the same cannons, if there is, in case those two cannons are broken, it's not good, you also said that these two cannons are the emperor's treasures, if we break this thing, then we won't have the face to see the emperor. The last generals did everything according to the king's orders. Kong Youde's face was full of grievances.

Dorgon thought for a moment, and he had said such things about those two cannons. And in order to capture such a fortress with little oil and water, it is really not worth it to stick those two cannons into it. Then he asked, "What about your other cannons, why don't you see them firing?" ”

"Lord, the range of those cannons is not as far as the cannons that the Dutch have already exposed. In addition, the firing speed of these cannons, as well as the accuracy, could not be compared with the Dutch guns. Last night, the general told the prince that if these cannons were pushed up and bombarded by others, most of them would be destroyed. So the prince said, I just lit the cannon in the Qing Dynasty, but I can't break it, and I must protect it. So how dare the last general push them up? ”
