Chapter 465: Tattered
There is a median Franc machine above the military platform, weighing 350 catties, the gun is seven feet long and nearly eight feet, lifting the gun five catties, the cannon is twelve taels, it can also be loaded with shotguns, and the other is two small Franc machines, the guns weigh three catties, the cannon weighs 10 taels, and it can also be loaded with shotguns, in addition to the three Franc machines, there are also three tiger squat guns, this kind of small cannon weighs 70 pounds, and the shotguns can be carried off and run on the battlefield, and the two strong men can carry them on the battlefield to take off and run, play fast, have claws to grip the ground, increase the stability, and the shotguns are also powerful, and the disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to aim, the range is close, and the accuracy is not high…… Basically, this kind of cannon is roughly aimed at the direction of the enemy, what is the effect of a cannon can only be left to fate, in addition, it is unable to resist long-range damage, the opponent's strong arrows are fired in several rounds, and the gunner of this small cannon is estimated to be almost dead, and can only rely on the form of the car battalion to do the war, and can also use to defend the city.
The people were responsible for carrying the shells and gunpowder, and kept carrying the shells and gunpowder under the military platform.
All the soldiers hid in the hiding hole in the military platform, which is a square building, with gun holes on all sides and square holes for placing artillery and using cannons, and there is only one door to enter and exit below, and there are horse barriers and trenches on the periphery, which gives people a very reassuring feeling of hiding in it.
After a few hundred years, there are still a lot of abandoned military platforms in the hometown of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, one by one or only the tall mounds of loess tamping, and there are also some old military platforms with intact bricks, some are large and some are small, some are like tube buildings, and some have female wall battlements, just like a small military fort.
The southeast one is like a large tube building, without a female wall or horse face, and all garrisons use long-range firearms to kill and injure the enemy.
The Beiyu had already entered within a mile of the military platform, and a gunner shouted: "Captain Qi, are you going to fire now?" ”
The garrison officer of the military station is a captain of the banner and a veteran who has been transferred from the soldiers, and he said: "Don't worry, wait for the northern captives to start lining up and give them a little fun." ”
Generally, the siege will be in front of the fort, and it is impossible to rush over like a swarm.
The large group of people was getting closer and closer, and the breathing of the people in the military platform became more and more rapid, except for a few officers of the army, most of them were just civilians a few months ago, and then the training of the soldiers was not perfect, and most of them encountered such a scene for the first time.
The Mongols were already arrayed, and the crowd was depressing, and the Mongols, who looked like generals, galloped in the procession and shouted loudly.
Many of the soldiers who could understand a few words of Mongolian language could hear that the Beiyu was saying something to boost morale, but it was just that there were only a few dozen people in the military platform, and they would be captured in a random round, and then slaughter the defenders of the Ming Kingdom, and everyone would be rewarded.
The soldiers felt strange, and the enemy hundreds of paces away were threatening to slaughter, as if victory had been held in their hands.
The Mongols prepared more than a dozen chariots and more than 100 ladders, which was indeed a one-hit winning frame.
When the last moment came, everyone waved their weapons in their hands, except for a few people who were still riding on war horses, most of them dismounted and walked, and countless people carried ladders and pushed the cart forward.
"Damn it, come and die, Beiyu!"
The captain of the Juntai Flag roared and ordered: "The Franc cannon crew fires!" ”
All the gunners lit the fuses almost at the same time, and the muzzles of the three Franc machines spewed tongues of fire, and the three guns spun rapidly and flew out of the muzzles, and the huge impact force brought the wooden gun carriages of the three Franc machines backwards, and people didn't pay attention for a while, they all looked in the direction where the shells flew over.
Almost without observing, all three cannons fell in the crowd!
The cannonballs flew forward, making a loud roar, at this moment, all the Mongols looked up, these Mongols of Tumut had not experienced any major war for many years, only a few people knew the power of the Ming army's firearms, some people shouted and told people to dodge, but people were in a daze, they didn't even see any weapons, how to hide?
Almost in the blink of an eye, the cannonballs fell, and the impact points were all in the ranks of herders who were carrying ladders at the forefront.
The iron ball flew through the crowd, people's faces were distorted in fright, and they were subconsciously shouting, the iron bullet finally hit a herdsman, right in the chest, almost everyone heard a loud click, at this moment the person was hit by the cannonball, the entire chest was knocked into it, all the bones were shattered almost instantly, the man's mouth, eyes, nose and ears all spilled blood at once, and the person died instantly!
The bullet continued to fly and smashed another herdsman's head, and the people around him opened their mouths wide and could hardly believe their eye cuts, and after hitting five or six more people, the bullet fell to the ground, still emitting white smoke, burning the green turf on the ground to a grayish-yellow color.
People opened their mouths, the whole team was in chaos, and an iron bullet reimbursed nearly a team of herdsmen at once!
The other two places were also very chaotic, and the kinetic energy of a pound-heavy iron bullet was extremely powerful within a range of three or four hundred steps, almost plowing a blood-colored channel in the crowd.
"Ah......h
A herdsman, whose face was covered in blood, could not believe that he was still alive, standing by a falling cannonball, screaming desperately.
"Bang ......"
Another round of Franc machines fired, and this time it still fell into the dense crowd, taking the lives of more than a dozen people and seriously injuring a lot.
Countless people feel like the sky is blowing up one after another!
People all looked up, the sky is still so blue, today's weather is exceptionally fine, it seems that the scene in front of them is even more cruel, the flesh and blood of the people hit by the cannonballs are flying, the mutilated corpses are under the blue sky, the green grassland land, the people in gray or black jackets fall to the ground, the limbs are broken, the blood is still flowing, the body of the person is still warm, but the person is dead and can not die again.
Many people are still moving forward according to inertia, people hesitate, and they don't know what to do, not only the herdsmen, but also the soldiers, they are like a huge ant colony, the people in front are already afraid, and the people behind are still flocking forward.
At this time, the gunners on the platform began to adjust the firing angle of the Franc cannon, and the gunners picked up the wood chips, padded them under the barrels, and raised the elevation angle, while several tiger squat guns began to bombard the enemy within a hundred paces.
The rain-like cannons were sprayed out, within a hundred steps, the power of the tiger squat cannon was enough, the tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle, and the cannons brought out fell rapidly in the herdsmen's team, and the bullets kept flying in the crowd, like a swarm of hornets flying out of the nest, and the bullets kept bringing out a rain of blood, hitting the human brain, hitting the chest, the arms, and legs, almost everywhere people can imagine, someone will be shot.
There were people falling to the ground, some wailing, some roaring, as if there was no other sound in the world, the bright sun and the smell of grass no longer existed, only the roar of artillery and the pungent smell of blood, and the urine of people who were frightened. Taste, beyond that, there is only death, death, and pain on the battlefield.
"Ah......h
More people shouted, the Mongols did not expect the war to be like this!
"The north captives of the dog day are strong enough." The captain of the Juntai Banner was sweating profusely and scolded: "I have fired several rounds of artillery, but I didn't run." ”
Before the words fell, he saw that the herdsmen and the soldiers had given up the siege equipment in their hands, and they all turned around and fled.
The flag captain was stunned at first, and then said happily: "Continue to beat me hard, and tell them to leave more corpses down!" ”
More than 6,000 northern captives collapsed amid the sound of artillery!
People are running, there was some order when they first ran, and then they ran more and more chaotically, everyone wanted to run in front of others, as if they could dodge the shells, and then the order was chaotic, people began to squeeze each other, and some people drew their knives and cut the back of the person who blocked the front!
When crossing the creek, many people tripped in the water that was not deep, and many drowned in knee-deep water!
Everywhere there were discarded siege equipment, carts, rushing carts, ladders, sandbags, all over the ground.
The armoured soldiers and the strong herdsmen also threw a lot of weapons in their hands, iron spears and waist knives, simple knives, shun knives, and ladder knives all over the ground.
The Mongols were already destitute, and even the weapons on the ground were uneven, and they looked like piles of rags.
And flags, robes, shoes, armor...... When they run away, people feel that even their robes are a burden!
Nemug was dumbfounded, he stood by the river on horseback, looking at the large swarm of flies in front of him, and could only feel extremely speechless! More than 6,000 people attacked a military platform, and they all ran back after a few rounds of artillery fire!
Ah Cheng and others rushed to hear the news, at this time thousands of frightened people were still in a mess, many people were lying on the ground panting, some people were holding their knees with both hands, barely standing, more than half of the people had no weapons, flags, and instruments in their hands, and they were all gone.
The faces of all Taijiqi were distorted, and Geng Ge scolded: "You are still worthy of being the descendants of Genghis Khan? ”
Everyone was speechless, and some people thought rebelliously: "In the era of Genghis Khan, I'm afraid the Han people didn't have such sharp weapons!" ”
At this moment a group of caravans came out of the gate of the military platform, crossed the barricades and ditches, and they stabbed the Mongols who were waiting to die with their spears, and began to cut off their heads.
Because of the distance from Lixu and the cover of a small river, these merchant soldiers were certainly not afraid of a surprise attack by the Mongols.
More people came out, gathered the ladders and the carts, poured oil, and threw torches, and soon the siege equipment was burned to the ground.
Ah Cheng's face has turned iron blue!
He never expected that this battle would result like this?
At this time, there was already an irrepressible laughter from Jining Fort! The distance between the southeast of Jining and Jining Fort is clearly visible to the naked eye, the Mongols are going to uproot the military platform fort around the fort, cut off the wings, and the big battle together, the female wall and the hall of Jining Fort are full of people, everyone is a little worried, but the result is the dramatic scene in front of them, and bursts of cheerful laughter broke out above the castle.
