Chapter 538: The cannon bombarded him N (3 more to ask for a monthly pass)
After listening to Xu Jie's report, Chen Kaizhi's eyes suddenly opened, and he suddenly shook his spirits, and a pair of clear and bright eyes watched the Yan army rushing towards the mountains and fields.
The number of the other party is too large, even if you throw a whip into the river, it is enough to cut off the moat.
Chen Kaizhi evoked a smile, and said calmly: "The artillery team ......"
Xu Jie's eyes were already shining, and the whole person instantly became glowing, and his face was obviously filled with joy, and he couldn't see the look of worry about rushing to the battlefield at all.
In fact, since the first artillery was successfully manufactured, Xu Jie was ordered to take a group of soldiers to cooperate with craftsmen to continuously test the gun, and after obtaining the parameters of the artillery, it was constantly revised.
During that time, he stayed in the back mountain for a month, and his main duty was to fire cannons, so he kept firing them every day.
It can even be said that the twenty artillery pieces that are now being formed can be said to be his children, who have been revised again and again, participated in the improvement of the artillery again and again, and finally took shape.
"Just wait for the governor to give an order." Xu Jie grinned, his eyes flashed, and he said excitedly and expectantly.
Chen Kaizhi seemed to have long been accustomed to their special emotions, and at this time his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of careful wandering out, he pointed to a hill in the northeast corner in the distance and said, "There, is it enough?" ”
So Xu Jie squinted his eyes and looked in the direction that Chen Kaizhi was pointing.
He is now a 'professional gunner', and he can probably understand it just by measuring the range by his eyes, so he said: "Some difficulties have exceeded the effective range, but if you shoot at an elevation angle and throw the cannon out, you can probably get it, but it's just ...... It's just ......"
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Chen Kaizhi's face sank, and he said sharply: "At this time, what are you rubbing for!" ”
Xu Jie hurriedly said: "It's just that if you want to shoot accurately, it's difficult, but you can use flowering bullets, anyway, a dozen large pieces, it doesn't matter if he is accurate or not." ”
Chen Kaizhi listened to his words, but his heart settled down, and he said very simply: "Then hurry up and bring your artillery team to me, if you shoot, you will be credited, if you can't shoot, you will go back to the fire team later." ”
Xu Jie's heart was suddenly surging, and he smiled at Chen Kaizhi's pout: "I'll give it a try." ”
Although I can't wait, I still have to be humble, after all, I am a person who has read books.
The artillery of the artillery team is all arranged together in order to increase the power and at the same time can be coordinated.
Xu Jie hurriedly returned to the northern section of the city wall, and immediately shouted loudly: "Ready, ready, loaded." ”
The gunpowder had already been filled, and Xu Jie felt that he was like an unstoppable god of war at this time, and said majestically: "Bloom the bullet." ”
As soon as they heard the blossom bomb, the Qiu Ba people rubbed their hands, they felt that their waists were much straighter, and they looked at the dense people below, and began to carefully lift the blossom bomb.
In fact, their favorite is the flowering shell, which is a clumsy-looking cone, but ......
Don't underestimate it, don't think it looks stupid, in fact, every flowering bullet is empty, filled with steel balls and gunpowder, at the same time as the cannon, the fuse of the flowering bullet also begins to ignite at the same time, and then, the gunpowder will push the flowering shell out of the barrel and fly out, and in the process of flying out, the fuse of the flowering bullet will still burn, and when it almost falls to the ground, the fuse burns directly into the cannonball, and finally, the gunpowder inside expands and explodes.
This is simply an artifact, not to mention, this flowering bomb for the process and quality requirements are extremely high, a little careless, is a defective product, manufacturing ten, can have three pass rate, it is already Amitabha, so the cost of this flowering bomb is also amazing, in the process of transportation, it is necessary to be extremely careful, and there must be no mistakes.
This expensive cannonball, the cost is second, the requirements for the artillery team are also extremely high, if it is an ordinary military horse, the slightest negligence, may be finished, or improper preservation and maintenance, become a dud, or directly blow up, blow yourself up to the sky.
Fortunately, this is the Warrior Battalion, a warrior battalion that has been renovated, with knowledge and force. The artillerymen of the Warrior Battalion are extremely patient, and it can even be said that they keep these flowering shells as if they were their own sons.
They began to reload, and Xu Jie squinted, constantly beginning to observe the position he was pointing, and he shouted: "The direction of the wind." ”
"Northeast wind, wind speed is not high."
Xu Jie licked his mouth, but his eyes were blazing: "The distance is one thousand two hundred and fifty steps." He stretched out his thumb and compared it in front of him, then his eyes were aiming, and then he said: "The head of the cannon is raised by one foot, and the muzzle of the cannon is facing northeast!" ”
The artillerymen began to calibrate, and there was a crackling sound around them, a scream from the city, and countless shouts to kill.
But Xu Jie and the others don't care, if they want to enter the artillery team, they are also the first-class elites in the warrior camp, they have to be proficient in arithmetic, they have to learn to distinguish the direction of the wind, and they have to be patient.
Even, before launching, you have to measure the range, you have to calculate the angle and the trajectory of the projectile.
After all, every flowering bomb is special silver, a round shot, more than a hundred taels of silver will be gone, when he was tested in the back mountain, Xu Jie felt that his heart was cold, because he suddenly found that he tossed it in a day, and a few hundred taels of silver disappeared, and he sold himself, I'm afraid there is no money.
"Team Officer Xu, the second gun position is ready."
"Gun emplacement seven ready."
"Gun emplacement six ready."
Xu Jie is still not at ease, this is money, although it is not his own money, but Lord Du Du has already let go, he feels that he was born to be the king of guns, and he must not kick Du Du back into the fire team.
So he began to inspect the gun position one by one, and there was probably nothing wrong, although he was surprised, but there must be a slight surprise, because the distance was too far and not in the effective range, so the hit could only depend on luck, and make some small differences, maybe it would be right.
HE WAS STILL NOT AT EASE, AND COMPARED HIS THUMB AGAIN, COCKED HIS THUMB, AND AIMED AT THE POSITION OF THE OPPOSITE HILL, THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM, IN FACT, HE WAS QUITE NERVOUS NOW, AND EVEN WANTED TO TAKE OUT THE DRAFT AND CALCULATE IT AGAIN, SO AS NOT TO MAKE ANY MISTAKES, BUT NOW HE WAS TOO LATE, SO HE ROARED: "IGNITION!" ”
"Ignition!"
"Ignition!"
The Qiu Ba people in the artillery positions one by one, repeating the order, their voices were as bright as a bell, their eyes were red, they were all extremely nervous, and some even rolled up their sleeves, feeling hot all over their bodies, and they were ready to beat up the Xu team officer if they missed.
The fire rope was burning slowly, although the sound around them was noisy, but for the Qiu Ba of the artillery team, the world seemed to be clear all of a sudden.
The arquebus didn't burn fast, giving the Hills plenty of time to wait, and finally, the ninth gun position was the first to roar.
Bang.
On the city wall, as if a thunderbolt flashed, a huge roar, the Qiu Ba of the artillery team was not affected, they we, as always, had already covered their ears, but on the other side, Qiu Ba and the government soldiers who shot the fire gun, were caught off guard by this thunder, and suddenly felt that their ears were already confused, and they couldn't hear anything buzzing, so many people scolded, but fortunately, after all, they knew in advance that the artillery ***, although they were startled by the sound, they were still psychologically prepared.
But the Yan army that rushed to kill under the city not only braved the rain of bullets, but also suddenly heard the thunder, and subconsciously fell down, and some people were even more frightened and looked around, dazed, completely at a loss.
The powerful recoil of this artillery instantly cracked the masonry on the fixed aisle of the city wall, fortunately, the Yan people have a very good brush in the technique of repairing the city wall, and they have never cut corners, they are all real masonry, and they are not worried about the collapse of the city wall.
And then, the guns of the fourth gun position, the thirteenth gun position, one by one, began to fire.
Thundered...... Thundered...... Thundered......
The muzzle of the cannon spitting tongue of fire trembled, and then, one after another, huge fireballs, with afterburners, smashed towards the northeast corner.
Yan Chengzong was on the hill, he had been here for half an hour, he couldn't attack for a long time, a large number of soldiers were injured, and now he barely had some soldiers crossing the river.
He originally wanted to quickly level this fortress, but now, even if he captured this fortress, the huge casualties still made his heart heavy, and he couldn't win.
So he was full of anger, a group of Chen Dogs, let themselves suffer such a big loss, it is a huge insult, today he brought a hundred times the number of soldiers to come, who knew that it was a bitter battle.
Seeing that someone has already crossed the river, the next step is to work with the rear team to transport the wall ladder, as long as the city wall is up, everything will be easy, and now he just wants to capture this fortress as soon as possible.
He stared intently at the soldiers in the distance, and then couldn't help but sneer: "Stay on the city wall, kill all these Chen dogs, and leave no one alive...... You have to cramp and peel him, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in the heart of this king. ”
The last sentence, he almost gritted his teeth and spit it out, and his tone was extraordinarily cold.
The generals and colonels behind him were also awe-inspiring, knowing that His Highness was angry now, and he must not be provoked at this time, so they kept silent one by one.
At this moment, they suddenly felt that the earth was trembling, booming, and the rumbling roar resounded in their ears, and even Yan Chengzong, who was a mile away, could hear it clearly.
Yan Chengzong's face changed, these guys actually used artillery?
But...... The artillery was not a big deal, they should have used the artillery stored in the city fortress.
