The damage from the cannon is mutual. The artillery of the Fu Han army can kill and wound the Qing army, and the artillery of the Qing army can also kill and wound the soldiers of the Fu Han army. It's just that compared with the turmoil of the Qing army array, the performance of the Fu Han army array is calmer.

Hyland looked for a straight toothache. After the first artillery exchange was over, he immediately ordered the artillery team to increase the amount of medicine, and it was necessary to shoot the cannons into the array of the Fu Han army. As a result, the Fu Han army took the first step to change the phalanx into a horizontal formation, a thin one, and this time the Qing army fired more than 30 cannons in unison, and there were no deaths or injuries at all.

Although the narrow front enlarged the horizontal surface of the Fu Han army and greatly increased the proportion of them subjected to artillery shelling, it also shortened the depth of the Fu Han army. If you are not careful, the cannonball will pass over their heads or land in front of them.

And the most obvious point is that the reaction of the Fu Han army after being shelled was that the array was completely free of chaos and commotion. "What a strong army." A flash of jealousy flashed in Hailancha's heart, and then more hatred arose.

-- The more elite the Han army, the more disadvantageous it was to the Manchu dynasty to which he was loyal.

Many people in the Qing army array remembered the previous battle of Yunyanhe, which was only a veteran of the Fu Han Army at the head of two battalions, but under the onslaught of the elite of the Qing army, which was more than ten times larger, they did not panic and dealt with it well. More than 10,000 Qing troops plus forty or fifty cannons were stunned by the elite of the Fu Han army of thousands of people for more than an hour, dragging from dawn to dawn. And even when it was defeated, that army retreated without chaos, and did not give the Eight Banners Horse Team half a chance to take advantage of it.

A sharp whistle sounded in the array of the Fu Han army, and the five musket battalions of the Fu Han army on the front line began to continue to approach the Qing army array, and more and more artillery positions of the Fu Han army completed the position arrangement, and more and more artillery joined the bombardment.

The artillery battle of the Qing army fell into a disadvantage.

Whether it is the quantity or the quality and performance of the artillery, the Fu Han army surpassed the Qing army by a lot. Fernandez's white face was blackened by the smoke, but he couldn't stop the Qing artillerymen from secretly reducing the amount of gunpowder to the original data, or even less. Anyway, now the smoke is full, and after ignition, the ghost knows how far the shells will fly.

The Qing artillerymen cherished their lives very much, because the legend of 'exploding the chamber' was like a sharp sword hanging above their heads, which made them panic and timid. In this case, the Fu Han army did not.

The artillery of the Fu Han Army has enough credibility among the artillery, and when the gunners are trained, they have also received test firing training to increase the amount of gunpowder, 20%, 30%, 50%, the latter is the maximum amount of artillery allowed in the field troops in the "Training Manual" of the artillery unit of the Fu Han Army.

Huang Jie soon discovered that the Qing army's artillery was not in the right place, and after the first three rounds of firing, the Qing army's artillery was almost impossible to get the array of the Han army. Is there something wrong with the artillery of the Qing army suddenly? Or did the Qing gunners secretly reduce the weight of the gunpowder in order to save their lives? Huang Jie didn't have to think about it to guess the latter.

"Tell the artillery of the second line to move forward immediately, past the main artillery position, and move another mile."

"The second-line troops went along. The rear army moved forward to the main artillery position-"

Huang Jie boldly advanced the front line of the troops by a mile, and he wanted to make a small bet, betting that the artillery of the Qing army would get closer and closer.

Because the barrel is hot, the continuous firing makes the barrel fatigue, and if it is a cannon of poor quality, it is always filled according to the original gunpowder measurement, and there is really a danger of exploding. Therefore, the range of the Qing army's artillery will only get shorter and shorter, but Huang Jie has absolute trust in his own artillery and artillery. The artillery and artillery of the Fu Han army will not be cheating and tricking at this point.

Hailancha didn't know that the gunners of his artillery team dared to have such selfish intentions, and they had the audacity to do it. But he could feel the increasing power of the artillery of the Fu Han Army. Especially when the second-line artillery of the Fu Han Army arranged its positions.

Of course, before the second-line artillery of the Fu Han army set up its position, the first battle between the Qing army musketeers and the Fu Han army musketeers had already been carried out. Whether it is the New Army of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, the firearms battalion, or the shotgun troops on the left and right, they are twice the strength of the Fu Han Army, more than 5,000 people, but they are as vulnerable as a book of paper in front of the five Fu Han Army musket battalions.

The musketeers of the Qing army were simple musketeers, and after having bayonets, the waist knives were taken down by these people, muskets and bayonets, so that the musketeers still had good melee ability without the protection of cold weapon troops. Just like the musketeers of the Fu Han army, they repeatedly launched bayonet charges to defeat the Qing army.

And what about the Fu Han army they were going to face?

Chen Ming knew that the Qing army also had rifled guns, so he didn't dare to put the flying thunder cannon with a very close range in front of the musketeers, and the tiger squat cannon was not good, and if the iron cannon was shot, the small tiger squat cannon would not be able to hit far at all. They are close to shotgun, and they can exert their maximum power at a distance of thirty or forty paces.

But don't forget, the Fu Han Army has just developed a mortar cannon that has not been around for a long time. The range of this mortar cannon is also very close, but this one is much farther than the nearness of the Flying Thunder Cannon and the Tiger Squat Cannon. As long as the angle is adjusted properly, the mortar can completely shoot the flowering shell to a distance of 300 meters.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

At least half of the mortars, with a quantity of no less than 50 guns, will be aimed at the New Army of the Eight Banners, which is preparing to be in the center of the Qing army, this unit that Qianlong has high hopes for, and this unit that is pinned on the hope of the entire Eight Banners.

The low four-wheeled gun cart only needs to dig four earth pits according to the size of the base to place the wheels, and then use a large iron drill to nail the gun cart to the ground to fix, anyway, the four corners of the gun cart are inlaid with iron rings, and the mortar cannon that can be easily moved on the dirt road by pulling this kind of manpower is considered stable, and it is many times faster than the cannon. Moreover, the mortar cannon fired all flowering shells, with short shooting gaps and fast rate of fire, and the speed at which it killed the Qing soldiers was as brisk as it was moving on a dirt road.

"Tom, tom, tom, tom, ......tom,

In the dense and dull sound of firecrackers, the muzzles of hundreds of mortars spewed out large puffs of smoke and fire. The stubby barrels of the mortars barely vibrate, and one by one the flowering shells flew out of the muzzles of the guns, rushing towards the Qing army not far away.

Because of the problem of the fuse, the proportion of flowering shells not exploding is very high, and there is also the phenomenon of exploding in the air in advance, so the fuse of flowering shells is preferred to stay long rather than short. After all, people in this era have a fear of cannonballs, and the matter of throwing back the cannonballs only exists in theory. That's much less likely than a grenade being thrown back. It is more likely that the Qing soldiers ran away before the shells exploded.

However, it also depends on the position, if the position is small, or the battle is in formation, the enemy army cannot run around, otherwise it will be a rout.

Therefore, the 5,000 musketeers who were immediately expected by Hailancha did not even fire a neat platoon once, and they were thrown into chaos by mortar artillery. When the same pace of the Fu Han army troops fired the first neat platoon attack at a distance of seventy or eighty meters, the 5,000 musketeers sent by the Qing army fled back in a swarm.

"It's a flowering bomb, run......"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

"Don't run, don't run, don't mess up...... Woohoo......"

Few of the Qing soldiers were fools, and when they saw that the cannonballs that fell to the ground were still burning with a sneer, those who had more knowledge immediately called out the flowering bombs, and those who had short knowledge thought it was an extra-large grenade, who would dare to surround it?

The chaotic Qing army still remembered Hailancha's order, and the New Army of the Eight Banners, which suffered the most, tried to regroup under the frequent shelling and launch a counterattack against the Fu Han army. Such a chaotic army, which can carry the indiscriminate bombardment of hundreds of mortar cannons, is already the maximum limit for the Qing army's musketeers to bear if they do not collapse immediately. When the musketeers of the five battalions of the Fu Han Army fired a neat platoon, which made matters worse, the Qing army immediately collapsed.

In the flowering shells fired, the Fu Han army was filled with not only gunpowder or fragments, but also filled with quicklime, chili pepper flour and other materials in some of the flowering shells, so it is understandable that the musket troops of the Qing army were unbearable.

But for the Qing generals such as Hailancha in the back, the performance of the Qing musketeers really broke their hearts. "Horse team, attack immediately, meet the defeated soldiers......"

Having always remained calm, Hylancha did not let his anger discard the unscrupulous musketeers, and immediately sent a team of horses to attack.

Fernandez looked in a cold sweat, the Fuhan army was not chaotic in the shelling, and Fernandez was not uncommon. The armies of European countries can generally do this, and the high casualty rate of fighting has been going on in Europe for many years, so the casualty rate of European soldiers is really much higher than that of the current armies of Eastern countries. But after he deeply understood the quality and quality of the Qing soldiers, he felt that it was too incredible when he saw the performance of the Fu Han army on the battlefield. The Fu Han army on the opposite side behaved like a Western army.

He muttered to himself, kept drawing a cross on his chest, and prayed sincerely: "Heavenly Father, I thank you that you are my strength, my help, that you can make my weakness strong, and where I am weak, you will strengthen me." ”

"Heavenly Father, I praise you for being a faithful God, and your faithfulness is exceedingly great, and your faithfulness will be eternal and unchanging until all generations. Heavenly Father, I thank you that you will always keep the covenant you have made to me and that you have done all your permission to me through your Holy Spirit. ”

"Mercious Lord, I thank you that the power of your resurrection is also in me, that I may live forever before you, in your word, in your eternal life, in your kingdom, in your life, in your glory, in your riches, in your loving grace......"

Fernández chanted the prayer of the True God over and over again, and today's battle made him feel very bad and bad. The army of the Fu Han Army was not only able to produce very beautiful arrays, but also equipped with a large number of small mortars, which was an 'innovation' that no European army had. A large number of small mortars disrupted the order of the Tatar musket army at a long distance before the rifle fired, giving the Fuhan musketeers the opportunity to easily defeat twice their enemy, so the result of this battle would be very bad and bad, he did not want to die here: "...... In the name of the Lord I pray, amen. ”

Finally, Fernández completed the most sincere prayer of his life, exhaled, felt much more settled in his heart, his expression calmed down, looked at the panicked Qing artillery beside him, and a trace of disgust flashed in the depths of his eyes: "Hmph, these arrogant and ignorant barbarians, hateful heretics!" ”

As these Portuguese came into more contact with the Qing army and got to know each other more and more, Fernandez's impression of China, which was originally very good, was falling little by little. The gunners of these Tatar armies did not even understand the most basic mathematical knowledge, did not even understand the most basic recipes for black powder, and many of them could not even write their own names, they were stupid like black slaves in Africa. Fernandez really can't take a liking to such a person. And China doesn't want to be as rich as he originally thought, God knows that he grew up in Macau, and the Pearl River Delta should be the most prosperous place in China at this stage.

At this time, several violent explosions suddenly sounded in the south of the battlefield, in the direction ......of the Yunyan River. Huang Jie raised his eyebrows sharply, the army on the South Road is so sharp, is it already about to be sealed? And a gloom floated across Hailancha's face, and he immediately said to Goshha beside him: "Go and investigate!" (To be continued.) )
