Chapter 251: Seventy guns

According to the words of the soldier who was regarded as an envoy just now, the number of soldiers in Chen Guochuan's army was only more than 3,000, while the army led by Fu Renjian was more than 43,000 people.

In other words, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army can only be compared with a fraction of the soldiers under Fu Renjian.

With such a huge disparity in troops, Fu Renjian believes that it will definitely not be a conspiracy that can make up for it. He has absolute self-confidence, as long as he sends troops, he will definitely be able to sweep the enemy.

Of course, what Marshal Liu Tingfeng said that day was absolutely crushing, and it was definitely not that he could rush over recklessly. Fu Renjian was also well aware of this, and he ordered the spies to increase the scope of exploration and probe all around the enemy.

He himself looked at the topographical map of the vicinity, wondering if the opposing general was calculating something. After a long time, the spies came to report on the situation around them, and the answer was that there was no one in ambush and there was no abnormality.

Fu Renjian was convinced of his original idea, and it seemed that the other party was showing strength with weakness, and wanted to scare away the more than 40,000 troops in his hands from under Changling City.

He picked up the sword that was on the wooden frame, got up, and said, "Straighten out the horses and prepare for the attack." ”

In the Qingguo tent, which was noisy and quiet for several days, the people and horses were suddenly boiling, and the sound of armor, swords and guns clashing constantly.

At the head of Changling City, the defenders of Chen Guo stationed in Changling City had of course discovered the abnormality in Qingguo's tent. The observer with clairvoyance in his hand trembled and said, "They are ready to attack again, and Qingguo's army is preparing to attack." ”

"What?" The guard of Changling City, a short, bloated man in the prime of life, heard the frightened voice of the observer, snatched the clairvoyant from his hand, and looked at it with his own eyes.

As the observer said, there are indeed people coming and going in the Qingguo tent, ready to go. But what made him wonder was why the direction in which their soldiers gathered was the opposite of Changling City, and why did they want to take a detour to attack Changling City?

He suddenly thought of another possibility in his heart, and couldn't help but be startled, could it be that the place where the other party wanted to attack was Baling?

The people of Qingguo don't know the reality of Anling Province, but as the guard of Changling City, he knows very well that as long as the people of Qingguo break through the high walls of Baling City, there will be an unobstructed hinterland of Chen State!

He was in a cold sweat, afraid that what he thought of was the truth.

Fortunately, he was wrong, and he found that the people of Qingguo did not take the grain luggage, which means that they had no intention of staying away.

That is to say, their target is still Changling. The short man smiled bitterly, but he ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle.

He himself has been keeping an eye on the movements of the people of Qingguo.

………………

Fu Ren led a phalanx of 20,000 men and marched from the front. The rest of the 20,000-odd soldiers were circling behind the enemy's tent to form an encirclement and to prevent the enemy from fleeing in the event of a rout.

When he found out that the enemy was most likely using the same strategy as Gao Shuncheng last time, he actually had a lot of anger in his heart. Gao Shuncheng Qingguo's side actually suffered a small loss, and this time he wanted to get it back with interest!

Fu Renjian's abacus played very well, but he didn't want to, Chen Baichuan also had the same idea as him in his heart.

That is to crush, to crush the other party with absolute strength!

Lord Chen was by no means planning to hit a stone with an egg with three thousand Great Ling disciples, he had absolute confidence in thermal weapons. He has already lit up the branch of firearms in the technological tree of this era, and it is his responsibility to fully display the horror of thermal weapons.

The advent of the age of firearms is absolutely unstoppable. Chen Baichuan, as the person who guided it to create, has greater ambitions. He thought that the history books recorded the founder of firearms were not strong enough.

"Array!"

The person who sent the command was not Chen Baichuan, but Chu Hui. People are professional, and Chen Baichuan also knows how many catties and taels he has, compared to Chu Hui, he is more suitable to play the position of commander.

Although Lord Chen was very envious of the taste of being in that position, in the end, he was willing to be the queen and prepared to face the battle between the queues.

The enemy soon came.

Looking at the dense patch in the past, it is very infiltrating.

This is the power of 40,000 people, and everyone only needs to spit a mouthful of saliva to drown Chen Baichuan.

However, Chen Baichuan was fearless, since it was not for the cavalry that was still a little tricky for the time being when he encountered firearms, he had nothing to worry about. No matter how large the number of opponents is, they cannot win the advantage of firearms.

After nodding to Chu Hui, who turned his head, Chu Hui had an idea in his heart.

"The artillery battalion pushes the artillery to the front of the line," he said. ”

At this time, Chu Hui's inhumane training of the soldiers showed the effect, and as soon as his words fell, the musketeers methodically avoided the passages, and the gunners of the artillery battalion pushed the artillery carts forward along the passages.

In the face of countless enemies, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army still obeyed Chu Hui's orders absolutely. Chen Baichuan, who was in the back, smiled with satisfaction, this is what he wanted.

One artillery cannon after another was pushed to the front of the team, and a full seventy cannons with dark openings were aimed at the direction of the Qing ** team under the manipulation of the gunners.

The gunners skillfully loaded the shells into the muzzles.

Chu Hui ordered: "After the enemy enters the firing range, you will constantly adjust the target of the attack, and after I give the order, you will fire the artillery together, and all the shells must cover the enemy ranks!" ”

Hundreds of gunners replied: "Yes!" ”

Chu Hui nodded, and slowly waited for the enemy to come closer.

The place where Chen Baichuan chose to set up his tent was not far from the Qingguo camp, so the two armies were not far apart, and the Qingguo phalanx soon entered the firing range.

After estimating that the firepower could cover all the enemies, Chu Hui gave a categorical order: "Open the cannon!" ”

As he shouted, seventy cannons fired in unison. The sound of the cannon blasting was already deafening.

In Chu Hui's eyes, the cannon flew very slowly, and he was almost able to catch the entire process of the cannonball flying from his own side to the enemy, the entire trajectory. But in the eyes of the Qingguo soldiers, it was turned over, and when they were still wondering how the stones from the enemy's catapult were flying so fast, the shells fell to the ground!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The violent explosion exploded in the phalanx of the Qingguo people, and the loud noise that penetrated the heavens, the earth and the earth even shook the walls of Changling City gently.

At the beginning, the power of a thunderbolt could make the well-informed Chen Baili and others open their mouths, but now, it is not a thunderbolt, but an even more powerful cannonball! And it's seventy doors fired in unison!

The deterrent power of such a thing as artillery may not be ordinary, even Chen Baichuan, who had expected it in his heart, couldn't help but move his clairvoyance away from his eyes, and his heart was full of turmoil.
