The chain bomb is completely learned from the Franco machine, two solid bullets are connected together with iron chains, and when fired, they will form a rotation, and anything that is swept down by the chain will be discounted, whether it is the human body or the mast. However, this ammunition is so large that ordinary artillery cannot be fired, and only ten heavy guns, that is, twenty-four pounder guns, can be used.

When Yan Qingshan's order came down to the first layer of artillery deck, the sailors took out something the size of a bucket from the ammunition box. This is a chain bullet, the outside is a thin iron sheet, and after the disembowelment, the two solid lead bullets inside will tear the thin iron sheet on the outside because of the different speeds. At the same time, the two buckshot bullets are connected by an intermediate iron chain, forming a rotating effect, stirring up everything that is in the way. Because of the heavy volume of chain shells, only large-caliber guns can have combat effectiveness, so heavy guns with a caliber of fifteen centimeters have become the only option.

At this time, the eight building ships of the Manshui Division on the opposite side were already close to five hundred meters, and the sailors loaded the chain shells into the guns and waited for the order of the gun commander.

"Aim for the largest building ship in front of you and fire!"

At the command of the gunner, ten heavy guns fired, and the chain shells unfolded ten meters after being discharged, and crashed into the target a second later. At this time, the deck of the Manchulou ship was full of soldiers ready to jump, and two chain bullets hit the crowd. A meter-long chain passed through the crowd like a guillotine, and the soldiers were cut in half.

Zhao Zhilong was stunned by the tragic situation on the deck, he didn't expect the artillery on the opposite side to be so powerful. Just as he was stunned, the second round of chain bullets hit. This time it was unlucky, a chain bullet hit the mainmast, the mainmast was broken, and the flagship's speed immediately slowed down.

At this time, Yan Qingshan's fleet was in the best position from the Manqing Division, and his light and heavy artillery could hit the enemy ships, while their artillery did not have such a large range, so they could only be beaten. The Tiger Squat Cannon on the ships on those buildings had a maximum range of less than 500 meters, while the Franc Machine Gun had a range of only 200 meters.

Yan Qingshan's side has greatly increased the accuracy because of the shortening distance. At this time, after clearing the approaching Meng Chong and fire attack ships, Yan Qingshan's side was able to bombard the other party with all the artillery, Yan Qingshan ordered to hit the big ships first, mainly the eight tall building ships, which were too threatening to Yan Qingshan.

At this time, the flagship with a broken mainmast poured blood mold, and all the fire was concentrated on it. After a few shots under the waterline, the ship, which was a thousand tons, began to sink. Zhao Zhilong on the ship had already died from the rain of shotguns at this time.

Zhao Zhilong's death brought chaos to the Manshui Division, and Yan Qingshan took advantage of this chaos to begin to expand the results of the battle and began to bombard other building ships.

At this moment, Zhao Guoliang and his entourage of eight small boats passed by the battlefield from afar. Qian Sunai saw the water battle in the distance and asked, "General Zhao, is the fleet of the King of Chu over there?" ”

"On the side with fewer people, did Childe see five big ships connected in a line? That is the sailor of the king of Chu. ”

At this time, Yan Qingshan was firing cannons around a building ship, and bursts of gunsmoke and cannon sound came. Qian Sunai's blood boiled and asked, "General Zhao, how many big ships like this are there in my brother-in-law?" ”

"I don't know about this, but Admiral Yan said that this kind of big ship can be launched every two months."

"Great, I'm going to be a captain when I go to Guangdong, it's too majestic."

Zhao Guoliang is in the army, and he looks down on these water rats very much, and when he saw that Qian Sun Ai wanted to be a navy, he couldn't help but say: "Son, you haven't seen the heroic appearance of our army, which is much stronger than these water rats in the navy." ”

Qian Sun Ai, who was interested, was about to ask the army what was good, when Chen's voice came from the cabin: "Ai'er, come in, there is a war going on outside, don't hurt you." Chen also saw the water battle outside inside the cabin, and as a housewife, he didn't understand why men were in good spirits when they mentioned war, and when they heard in the cabin that Qian Sunai was going to be a soldier, Chen could agree. In her heart, her child wants to be famous and become an official, so can she be Qiu Ba?

Qian Sun Ai is Qian Qianyi's second son, and the eldest son is by Qian Qianyi's side all the year round. Although Qian Sunai was born to the Zhu family, he was raised by the Chen family when he was a child, so Qian Sunai and Qian Yuting have a good relationship. Chen was afraid that Qian Sun Ai would really run away to join the army on impulse, so he spoke out to let his son come back.

Qian Sunai heard her mother-in-law's voice and reluctantly entered the cabin. Zhao Guoliang smiled indifferently, he had seen too much of young people like Qian Sunai. Outside the Dongguan barracks, there are young people who are attracted by the army's beautiful military uniforms every day to become soldiers, but his military uniform is too handsome, Zhao Guoliang can't help but tidy up the clothes on his body when he thinks of this.

At this time, the water battle on the opposite Yangtze River had come to an end, and after a dozen large ships were sunk, other small boats began to scatter and flee. Yan Qingshan was not in the mood to care about them, and now he wanted to hurry back to rescue Qian Yong in Jiangyin.

Qian Yong's side was also uncomfortable, when the navy's ships left, Yan Qingshan gave Qian Yong the time to insist on one day, and he would come back.

Bolo, the general of the Manchu expedition to the south, saw the five huge ships on the dock leave from a distance, and the sailors on his side followed him. Bolo ordered Liu Liangzuo and Kong Youde to lead all 200,000 Han troops to attack the city immediately.

Bolo was not sure whether the sailors on his side could win the sailors of the Ming army, so he had to attack the city with all his strength and strive to take Jiangyin City in one go. In order to boost morale, Bolo also ordered to enter the city for three days without sealing the sword. This order is to lift the spirits of the entire Han army, what is the purpose of being a soldier? Isn't it just to make a fortune? Therefore, the Han army was gearing up and preparing to attack the city.

At this time, the red-coated cannons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been repaired, and after removing the four that were really not repairable, there were still twenty red-coated cannons that could be used. Now these are also under the operation of the gunners trained by Kong Youde, ready to start bombarding the north gate of Jiangyin.

Why also choose North Gate? Because this place was bombarded by artillery more than ten days ago, although it has been repaired, it is still incomparable with the original city wall, so Bolo also set the site of the general attack at the north gate.

The unlucky Liu Liangzuo had not recovered from the injury on his buttocks at this time, but he had no choice but to be carried to the battlefield by four personal soldiers under the order of General Zhengnan.

Outside the north gate, Liu Liangzuo saw Kong Youde and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him for his life a few days ago. Kong Youde sighed.

"General Liu, don't thank you first, if we can take Jiangyin this time, it's okay to say, or our brothers will be unlucky."

"This time, the ships on the other side are gone, don't you have faith in the king of Gongshun?"

Kong Youde shook his head and said: "General Liu doesn't know, water battles are not won by numbers, the ships of the Ming army are fierce, and I don't think our sailors may be able to win." ”

"So what should I do?"

"The only way to attack the city is to go all out, and strive to take Jiangyin City before the Ming army and sailors come back."

At this time, Bolo's herald came and shouted: "Kong Youde and Liu Liangzuo listen to the order, and the general of Zhengnan has an order, and immediately start attacking the city!" ”

Kong Youde scolded in his heart, such a small Manchurian herald didn't take himself seriously, and even called himself by his name. But it can't be helped, the situation is stronger than people.

Kong Youde gave the order to go down, and the gunners began to shoot. The artillery profession is a purely technical job, and it is not just a matter of catching a few laborers and training them for a few days. Although the Manchu Qing side can start, the accuracy is much worse, and it is good to hit one out of ten shells. Fortunately, the range of the Manchu artillery was much stronger than that of the Ming army in the city, so there was no need to worry about retaliation.

Qian Yong in the city saw that the Manchus on the opposite side were attacking, and hurriedly ordered to prepare for battle. The artillery on Qian Yong's side are all army guns, with a firing range of only two miles, and the Manchu cannons on the opposite side are all 10,000 jin Hongyi cannons, with a range of three miles. This kind of can only be beaten and can't fight back, which is really suffocating.

Qian Yong saw that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was mainly bombarding the North Gate, and knew that the main direction of attack this time was the North Gate. Qian Yong said to Yan Yingyuan: "Yan Dianshi, I see that the main direction of attack of the Tartars is still the north gate, I will take people to guard the north gate, and leave an artillery company for you at the east gate." ”

"Okay, I'll ask General Qian for the north gate, please rest assured here."

Qian Yong nodded and led people to the north gate.

Because a section of the north gate has been blown down, the repair and construction of the north gate has not been very solid in the past few days, so Qian Yong is still worried about this place.

Facts also proved Qian Yong's worries. Although the redcoat cannon on the opposite side is not accurate enough, it can't withstand the accumulation of time. Two hours later, the rebuilt walls finally failed to hold on and collapsed.

Kong Youde, who was outside the city, saw that the city wall had collapsed, and said to Liu Liangzuo beside him: "Lord Liu, it's up to you this time." Whether our buddies can be promoted and make a fortune is in your hands, brother. ”

Liu Liangzuo scolded in his heart, it seems that this Kong Youde can't attack the city with him, but there is no way, Kong Youde has a higher status and qualifications than himself, and he is the first to be unlucky.

Liu Liangzuo This is a typical forced Liangshan, if you don't work hard, there is no way. Liu Liangzuo also ignored the pain in his buttocks, climbed down from the stretcher, and shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers, this is the time to get promoted and make a fortune, the general said, the city is not sealed, the silver women are everyone's, this official is here to guarantee, I will never take a tael of silver in your hands, how much do you grab!" ”

When Liu Liangzuo's subordinates heard this, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all howled and rushed to the city wall.

Kong Youde, who was on the side, saw this group of new annexed troops rushing forward, and also ordered his Han army banner to follow.

Qian Yong in the city saw that the city wall had collapsed, and quickly ordered a defensive ring to be formed at the place where the city wall had collapsed, and tried to prevent the Qing army from entering the city.

Now it has just been half a day since Yan Qingshan agreed, and now that the sky is dark, Qian Yong knows that he will have to rely on himself in the battle tonight.

At this time, the Qing army was already close to the breach, and Qian Yong ordered loudly: "Get ready, don't be nervous, the Qing army will open fire when it enters the firing range!" ”
