readx;?“ Even under the Great Wall" The first company immediately had soldiers shouting, Ruan Wenyu hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, more than 200 people appeared in the direction of Ito's infantry marching in the south, and they were all holding bows and arrows at this time, and they were all bending their bows and arrows at this time.

Ruan Wenyu glanced at the enemy who was no longer standing on the city wall, and hurriedly ordered in a loud voice, "Target, archers, shoot"

With the sound of thumping rifle shots, the Ito Legion infantrymen who had planned to rush forward against the rain of arrows looked back in amazement, thick smoke was rising from the city wall, and most of the archers in the distance were hit at this time, either lying on the ground screaming, or directly standing up without saying a word. The group of enemies was only 300 meters away from the city wall, although the effective range of the ammunition of these 1628 rifles was 400 meters, but in fact, for targets above 200 meters to 400 meters, they could only be attacked by concentrated fire, but fortunately, those archers had to adopt a dense formation in order to maintain the blocking power of the bow and arrows, which happened to be the way of the rifle. The ashigaru couldn't help but glance back at the castle gratefully, raised their weapons and rushed forward bravely.

In this way, the defenders of the city could not attack at all, as long as they gathered, they would be fired at by the city walls, these rifles were extremely powerful and accurate, and often half of them were killed and wounded in two rounds by the people of 100 people. The defenders of Annam could not bargain at long distances, and they could not resist the Ashigaru of the Ito Army at close range, these ashigaru were originally good at close combat, and the weapons in their hands were carefully selected from tens of thousands of weapons, and they could not gain the upper hand without gathering large forces.

Ito was ecstatic when he saw the fire support of the Foreign Legion, he had never fought such a battle, and he could not fight the opponent at such a distance, so he commanded his troops to turn counterclockwise from west to south. The fire support on the walls was so effective that he didn't want to stay away from them.

But Ruan Wenyu was also a little bitter at this time, although the soldiers of the second company were shouting and shouting, but they could obviously feel that there were not enough bullets, each person only carried fifty rounds of ammunition, and most of the soldiers only had about twenty rounds of ammunition left, if they persisted, it was estimated that they would be able to support it in more than ten minutes before they ran out of ammunition. He could only ask people to wave flags at the baggage team outside the city, asking them to bring ammunition, and let the flying thunder artillery team transfer the firing position to the city, and directly use artillery to support the shooting.

The soldiers of the Flying Thunder Artillery Group quickly transferred the guns to the gun carriage and turned to the west gate along the official road outside the city. By this time, the city gate had already been captured, and they quickly pulled the gun carriage up the wall along the horse road, and then began to determine the firing parameters and prepare for firing.

Although the trajectory of the flying thunder cannon is a little elusive, it is still parabolic after all, and the veterans of the flying thunder artillery group under Li Zhen have long explored a set of aiming formulas for the flying thunder cannon according to the method of mortars, and the firing parameters can be obtained as long as the target parameters are filled in and calculated. Although this method was primitive, it was suitable for these indigenous soldiers who had a low level of education and insufficient training at this time. Lin Quan was staring at the gun commander of the Foreign Legion at this time, nervously calculating the parameters, in fact, he himself was quite difficult to calculate, but after all, his foundation was more solid than this newly joined artilleryman, and now he had come up with the parameters, and was watching in detail as if the gun commander was sweating profusely holding the slide rule and drawing on the left and right.

"Report to the instructor, it's been calculated, please instruct" The gunner finally came up with the parameters, and asked the gunner to aim the flying thunder cannon at the target in the city. That place is the former princess's mansion, and now the soldiers of the Ito Legion have driven the defenders of the city to the princess's mansion, but the defenders are still unwilling to surrender In fact, even if they want to surrender, no one accepts it, but they have formed a mortal enmity with the Foreign Legion and the senators, and it is impossible for them to survive. They themselves know it very well, so there is only one option left: stubborn resistance.

Once the defenders become trapped beasts, their resistance will be increased by several grades, the princess's mansion is located in the center of the port of Zhancheng, which has exceeded the range of the rifle, and even exceeded the firing distance of the flying thunder cannon, but now the firing position of the flying thunder cannon has been transferred to the city wall, directly increasing the range, just including the front door of the princess's mansion.

At this time, the ashigaru were hiding behind various obstacles in front of the empty field at the gate of the princess's mansion, and there were more than a dozen ashigaru corpses lying in the open field, they didn't know that this was already the limit of the rifle's range, and they had launched an impact before. As a result, he was not only shot by the defenders' arrows, but also accidentally injured by friendly fire from rifles. Some of the corpses were stuck with arrows, others were pierced by rifle bullets, and they lay in the air. They all turned their heads to look at the second company on the city wall in the distance, and the soldiers of the second company couldn't help it, this distance really couldn't hit the target, not to mention that the defenders were still hiding behind the high walls of the princess's mansion, and they couldn't hit it at all. The bullets fired from the city wall were nothing more than mottled the high wall, and it did not pose any threat to the people inside.

"Let's rush again" The general of the Ashigaru team waved his katana, and thirty or forty ashigaru followed. They quickly rushed through the open field and poured straight into the gate. Behind the gate is a wide courtyard, at this time there are hundreds of defenders in the courtyard, both sides can't help but be stunned for a moment, the ashigaru people roared and rushed forward, but the other party obviously did not intend to fight, just fired arrows at the people who rushed up, and at the same time retreated to the inner courtyard.

Although the defenders' random arrows were fired in a hurry, the ashigaru people poured in from the gate in front of them were too crowded, and the random arrows that were originally used to stop the attackers actually took effect, and more than a dozen people who rushed in were immediately hit by the arrows and fell to the ground, and the people behind were hindered by the corpses, and they couldn't go fast, and soon they were shot by the second round of arrows, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground. The ashigaru men who followed behind stopped attacking and dragged their comrades who were still alive on the ground and retreated, and the two sides once again fell into a silent confrontation.

"Oops" There was a cry from the pile of corpses, and a foot light crawled out of the pile of corpses, with an arrow in his chest and left thigh, and crawled out sideways. Several of the defender archers raised their bows and were about to shoot, but the leader of the defenders shouted, "Call on time, shoot slowly and die with one arrow"

A defender who was eager to try hurriedly bent his bow and arrow, and with a "whoosh" sound, an arrow was shot at the corpse to the left of the wounded. "It's useless to let me come," the other archer sneered, and drew his bow at the wounded man.

"Ahh "Well shot," cheered the defenders in the courtyard. They were stared at and beaten in a series of battles just now, and when they finally arrived at the princess's mansion, they had an advantage, and at this time they couldn't help but dance one by one, as if Yixue was depressed by being beaten just now.

"Ah" The wounded man was shot another arrow in the back, and someone inside cheered loudly, "It shot well in the back of the heart" "Ah" A burst of cheers broke out again in the yard "It's too powerful to shoot to the right arm, now look at how he climbs" "Don't shoot to death, it's fun to shoot slowly"

Sun Bu is not hateful, and he is not cold, and he is an early enemy

The ashigaru soldiers outside the courtyard all listened to it, and they all gritted their teeth with angry eyes, eager to eat its flesh raw. A few achichi couldn't hold it back, and rushed up to rescue the wounded, but as soon as they rushed through the gate, they were shot by random arrows and fell to the ground.

"If you shoot well, the traitor won't shoot anyone, and then come back," the voice inside was even more unscrupulous.

"Retreat, retreat," the herald shouted as he rushed over, making the soldiers outside wonder, "Why retreat"

"I don't know that the general has an order to retreat" The herald didn't have time to explain, but just conveyed the order loudly.

Although the ashigaru people were unwilling, they still retreated a few dozen meters, and Ito was here with his personal guards at this time, and when he saw that everyone had retreated, he asked the soldiers around him to wave small flags in the direction of the city wall. Lin Quan held the binoculars in his hand, saw the signal, and nodded at the artillery commander beside him, "Open the cannon."

"Boom" With the sound of a cannon, the leader of the defenders gathered in the courtyard suddenly exclaimed, "If it is broken, they want to open fire" I heard a sharp whistling from the air, and a black ball fell in the northwest corner of the courtyard, and with a "boom" explosion, the courtyard wall and the square fell into a large piece, and several defenders standing near there were also blown apart, and the remains of the corpses were thrown all over the yard. The defenders were stunned, but they quickly reacted and quickly ran to the inner courtyard screaming.

Although the ashigaru outside the princess's mansion did not know the exact result of the blow, they saw the corpses and blood flying into the air, and cheered one by one, dancing in the direction of the city wall.

"Five degrees to the left, three degrees lower in elevation" The gun commander quietly glanced at Lin Quan beside him while ordering loudly, Lin Quan didn't speak, just stared at the princess's mansion with a telescope.

"Boom" Another shell exploded in the middle of the courtyard, this time it had no effect, and most of the people had fled to the inner courtyard, and there were almost no people left in the outer courtyard.

"Herald" An Ito herald immediately rushed over, he had been watching with interest the flying thunder gunner operating this strange-looking cannon just now, and when he heard an order, he hurriedly stood up, "General, please speak"

The ghost queen hated the queen of the moon

"You lead the way, bring one of our flag soldiers over, and let him guide the shooting there" said Lin Quan said to the flag soldier who was waiting on the side, "You go over, observe from the two-story building on the west side, report where the enemy is, and we will shoot here." ”

Because of the range of the guns in this time and space, most of them are direct shooting, and this kind of guided shooting is only Chinese, and there is no semicolon other than that. Ito saw a soldier of the Foreign Legion coming with the herald, and he didn't know what he was doing, but since they were here, they naturally had a mission, and although these guys were a little confused in command, they were quite disciplined in firearms attacks, so they immediately sent a ten-person ashigaru team to protect him and climb the two-story building together.

Lin Quan soon saw that the window on the north side of the small building was pushed open, and the flag soldier was waving the signal flag there quickly, and Lin Quan said in his mouth, "Extend one hundred and fifty meters forward, and deviate five degrees to the left." ”

At this time, the last strength of the defenders was basically concentrated here, and there were about one hundred and thirty or forty people, who were blown up by the grenade just now, and they were dizzy and went into the inner courtyard, and then gathered in the princess's flower hall to discuss countermeasures, but they did not expect the urging cannon to follow and come to their side.

With a "bang", a black ball smashed through the cover tile of the flower hall, and fell straight down in the center of the flower hall, smashing a wounded soldier who was lying on the ground and wailing, and before the defenders in the flower hall could figure out what was happening, the ball suddenly turned into a big fireball, and the scattered shrednel harvested more than forty people in the flower hall like a torrential rain.

Lin Quan then reported the next command, "The distance remains the same, and it is seven degrees skewed to the right."

The defenders, who had not yet figured out why there had been an explosion in the hall where the wounded were kept, rushed to the middle of the courtyard, nervously bending their bows and arrows for the enemy to rush in through the gate. But it was not the enemy who followed, but another orb that fell from the sky. "Boom"

Before the smoke had time to disperse, there were few people standing in the center of the courtyard, all of them were blackened by the smoke, their wounds were gurgling out, their ears were roaring, and they opened their mouths and screamed to crawl away from the big pit that had just been exploded in the middle of the courtyard. Within 10 meters of the crater, there was not a single person standing, and all of them were lying outward in a radial shape, either dead or seriously injured.

"Extend twenty meters forward" Lin Quan was expressionless, and continued to report the data sent back by the flag soldiers. "The report is out of range"

"Load the double propellant and prepare to open the cannon" Lin Quan couldn't help but roar, the gun commander was stunned, but hurriedly nodded at the loader. Loading double propellant is quite risky, and Lin Quan himself knows this, but now it is the final blow, and the enemy can't be allowed to have any courage to resist, not to mention that now due to the increasing number of skilled workers in the metallurgical department, the barrel material provided to the flying thunder cannon is getting better and better, and the chance of loading the double propellant to explode has been reduced to a very low probability, which also makes Lin Quan determined to give it a go.

Sun Qiu Ke ghost Sun Xue is the most cold ghost

"Extend the pull arquebus, retreat to a safe area, and prepare for launch"

The last thirty or so defenders were trembling and hiding in a corner of the inner courtyard at this time, they had no idea where it was safe, their faces were blackened by gunsmoke, only their teeth were white, and their teeth kept knocking, completely losing the joy of slowly torturing the wounded just now, and their frightened eyes stared in all directions of the courtyard.

"There is someone over there" With the shouting of a defender, everyone looked together, a man in a red military uniform was standing at the window of a small two-story house in the northeast direction, looking at him, his eyes were full of anger and pity, several people secretly said that it was not good, and before they could react, they heard a whistling, and the last sight they saw in their eyes was a black ball falling among them
