Chapter 343: Franc Cannon
Seeing this situation, Yang Quan was relieved, but the action of gathering the soldiers of the Tuntian Division just now still attracted the attention of many Tartars on the battlefield, and at this time, there was a team that saw the men and horses of the Tuntian Division, and immediately divided a cavalry and rushed towards Yang Quan's place!
"Nima, I originally wanted to hide to the side and observe the style of the Tartars, but I didn't expect that because the Wanquan Left Guard was exposed, since this is the case, let's weigh two catties on the battlefield!" Yang Quan looked at the galloping Tartar and said with a sneer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Tuntian Division, quickly set up a formation and prepare to meet the enemy!" Yang Quan shouted, and the troops of the Tuntian Division were quickly deployed, and the carriage that was originally pulling the baggage was pushed by many soldiers, and they came to the front with a squeak, and then surrounded the people of the Tuntian Division in the middle.
"Hao Guan team, Franco's cannon is ready!" Yang Quan looked at the Tartars who rushed towards them and said lightly.
"Yes" Hao Fugui's face was solemn at this time, he turned to look at the Tartar cavalry who were getting closer and closer, and drank coldly, "Franc cannon, Zi Gong put three catties of medicine, and prepare solid bullets." ”
I saw that the baffle on the side of the carriage was pulled open by the soldiers, revealing the Franc cannon behind the wooden board, the gunner opened the back door of the gun body, put the gun inside, and then fixed it with an iron hoop, the other soldiers quickly got down from the carriage and hid to the side, and the gunner responsible for igniting the fire on the side held the torch and quietly looked at the Tartar in the distance.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent, and the Tartars were getting closer and closer, and even the soldiers of the Tuntian Division could see the faces of those Tartars clearly, and then Hao Fugui suddenly drank "Open the cannon!" ”
The gunner who ignited the fire, when Hao Fugui shouted this sound, quickly put the torch on the fire rope of Zi Gong, only to hear a boom, the barrel of the cannon came out of a burst of red light, and then from the muzzle of the gun, a burst of white smoke came out, quickly blocking the situation in front.
Hao Fugui didn't look at the situation of the tartar in front of him, and shouted, "Zi Gong prepare, put two catties of medicine, and let go of the flower bomb,"
Many gunners got on the wagon, put the Franc cannon back in its place, and then quickly removed the gun from the gun, and the people on one side had already used a wooden stick tied with a wet cloth to clean up the debris and open flame, and the people on the other side had already put the gunpowder loaded with gunpowder back on the gun. They had just finished their work, only to hear Hao Fugui shouting in a low voice, "Fire!" ”
"Bang" The short and fat Franc cannon roared again, and the smoke and dust that was dense in front of the position, and the cannonballs that flew out at high speed quickly cleared out an open space, so that the people of the Tuntian Division could see the situation of the Tartars clearly, but after such a while, the Tartars were already close enough to be able to clear their shouts, and it was obvious that the solid cannonballs that released the talents did not kill many Tartars.
One by one, the black dots fell into the cavalry of the Tartars, and a few unlucky people were hit by the flowering bullets, fell from the horse, and then, by their companions behind them, trampled to death.
"Boom" saw that the cannonballs that fell into the group of Tartars suddenly exploded, originally those Tartars because of the terrain, the cluster was relatively tight, as soon as the bullet sounded, suddenly a cavalry fell, however, at this time, the cavalry rushing in front of them, obviously did not have a chance to see the situation behind them, and brandished a scimitar and rushed towards Yang Quan.
"Zi Gong prepare, put one pound and eight taels of medicine, shoot flat at the cannon body, scatter bullets," Hao Fugui continued to command
At this time, the sound of the horses' hooves of the Tartars could already be heard clearly, and even the rapid breathing of the Tartars could be heard. But the gunners who had been trained by Yang Quan, perverted, numbly dismantled the guns that had been released according to their usual training, and the soldiers who were responsible for cleaning the chambers on one side had cleaned the chambers of the guns neatly, and on the other side, the soldiers in charge of charging had quickly put the guns loaded with scattered bullets into the cannon body, and the soldiers who were responsible for aiming quickly lowered the cannon shaft.
"Fire!" Hao Fugui let out a low shout, and several Franc cannons immediately let out a roar, at this time, only heard a sound like raindrops falling to the ground, and then many soldiers nervously looked at the smoke and dust like the thick fog in front of the carriage.
Yang Quan at this moment, also nervously looked at the situation in front of him, this time he went to Weiyuanwei, but he slaughtered Lu Xiangsheng fiercely, and the many guards of Xuanda eliminated the Franc machine and other artillery that were not used, so Yang Quan only had about 400 people, but he brought more than a dozen Franc machine guns, this kind of artillery was a rear-loading smoothbore cannon of that era, and the modern cannon was already very similar in principle, but it was limited to the technical level of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of artillery airtightness was really not good, and the range was not as good as the red-coated cannon boasted by later generations, in terms of portability, It is not as good as the tiger squat artillery, so in the border town, it is not popular, most of the army is not willing to equip it, this kind of field artillery, but it is reduced to defending the city, these artillery in Yang Quan's hands are the kind of city defense artillery without wheels,
However, Yang Quan knew that if this kind of artillery could be reasonably applied to field battles, it would also be a very powerful firearm. If you can overcome the problem of air tightness, on the battlefield, against the cavalry, this kind of artillery is definitely a big killer.
Now, he just called out four or five artillery salvos, to be honest, Yang Quan has no bottom about the power of this kind of artillery, after all, this is still the era of black powder, and the power of cannonballs is really a little pitiful.
The sound of "Tata" horses' hooves sounded, and many soldiers standing next to the carriage were nervous, and Xia Liu, who was on the side, immediately shouted, "The spearmen come forward, and the musketeers reload"
There was a bang, and I saw that the spearman was already standing behind the car, the spear in his hand pointed diagonally into the air, and the musketeer behind him was holding the muskete in his hand and aiming ahead.
"Herod" neighed, and saw a black shadow running out of the white mist spewing out of the gunpowder, and "deserved" towards Yang Quan and them.
"Firecracker, let's go!" Xia Liu let out a low snort.
"Bang bang," the muffled sound of the fire gun came, only to see the black shadow in the smoke, fell in this gunshot, a gust of wind blew, the white mist after the gunpowder was set off in front of the position, slowly was blown away, I saw that in front of everyone, where there were still Tartars, only a dead body was left, and the two hundred Tartars who rushed over were actually killed by Yang Quan's Tun Tian Si so easily!
Originally, the battlefield where you came and went was instantly quiet, and the Tartars who were besieging the city were all frightened, and they looked at the white mist at the foot of the mountain in the distance with some horror.
"Changshengtian, those Ming troops, aren't they all devils?"
