readx; The artillery of the Ming army finally began to roar, and the banner soldiers of the Han army who rushed in front instinctively fell to the ground when they heard this sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because they have been fighting with the Ming army for many years, and some people have been Ming troops in the past, they naturally know the power of the Franc cannon. The iron lump that fell from the sky with a piercing whistling sound and was burned red by the gunpowder was no joke, and it was definitely not negotiable.

But this thing can only hit a dot or a line, as long as you dodge the trajectory horizontally or lie on the ground, the probability of being hit will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the firing is slow, and it takes three minutes for a 'door' cannon to fire at the earliest, as long as it is not hit by a shell, you can take advantage of the gap between the cannons to charge. Therefore, as soon as the cannon sounded, thousands of Qing soldiers fell down in pieces, and the scene was spectacular.

However, to their surprise, these shells were not aimed at them at all, but whistled over their heads and smashed heavily into the following 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry formation!

It turned out that the moat of the Kyoshi was very peculiar, not close to the city wall, but still fifty steps away from the city wall. The river is fifty zhang wide, that is, one hundred paces, and the outer edge of the moat is one hundred and fifty steps from the city wall. With such a wide moat, it is absolutely impossible to wade through the water, and it can only pass through the opening directly opposite the city gate, which is about a mile wide. If you usually walk, this mile wide opening is of course absolutely enough, but if thousands of troops and horses charge, it seems a little narrow.

When the Han army flag rushed into the entrance from the periphery just now, the Ming army did not open fire. Even when the five chariots and three iron-clad chariots passed slowly, there was no movement at the head of the city. When most of the soldiers of the Han army flag passed through the opening, and the 'Meng' ancient cavalry behind pressed up, Zhou Yang ordered the gunners to open fire.

The best 'firing' range of the rapid-fire cannon was exactly about 150 paces, and the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry had just rushed into the opening, and it was when the queue was at its densest. Moreover, they are on horses, which are already much taller than the infantry army, and they can lie on the ground like the infantry army, so how can they have time to dodge? In an instant, eight solid cannonballs smashed into the cavalry formation with the roar of death, and immediately the people turned over on their backs, and the flesh and blood flew sideways!

The leader of the 'Meng' ancient yellow flag is called Ulan. He thought that there were Han army flag soldiers in front of him as cannon fodder, and the 'Mongolian' ancients should be relatively safe, but he didn't expect the first round of artillery fire from the Ming army to be given to him. Due to the dense formation, this round of 'shooting' caused more than 20 cavalry casualties, Ulan was taken aback, and immediately shouted: "Rush over for me!" ”

He was the right one. Because no matter what kind of artillery, the trajectory is parabolic, and when the distance is close to a certain extent, it enters the 'shooting' dead angle. Take the rapid-fire cannon as an example, it is basically impossible to attack within 80 paces. As for the Hongyi cannon, the 'shooting' has a larger dead angle. Therefore, the closer you are to the city wall, the less likely you are to be attacked by artillery. Although the 'Mongolian' ancients did not understand mathematics, they also 'groped' this experience in actual combat. Moreover, their bow and arrow 'shooting' range is within 100 steps, and within 50 or 60 steps is more lethal, and if they want to 'shoot' against the Ming army at the head of the city, they can only continue to advance.

But the current battlefield situation is that the Han army banner pushes the chariot to advance slowly, and just now the cannon sound and a large area of lying down, the advance speed is naturally slower, which is equivalent to blocking the way of the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry. Now that Ulan has given an order, the 'Mongolian' ancients don't care whether the Han people are dead or alive, anyway, as long as they don't eat cannonballs in the same place, they immediately rush forward. This is good, the Qing army trampled on each other, a big 'chaos', the two armies have not really 'fought', the Han army has already suffered hundreds of casualties!

As if to add fuel to the fire of this 'chaos' and 'chaos', the Ming army's rapid-fire artillery was silent for only a short time before roaring again. This cannon evolved from the Franc cannon, with a smaller caliber and a shorter range. But correspondingly, the amount of 'medicine' and the calorific value are also greatly reduced. Qi Jiajun's Franc cannon is equipped with three guns, but the rapid-fire gun is equipped with nine guns, and the "shot" and "medicine" are all loaded in the guns, which can be fired six times in a row, and the "fire" rate is more than twice that of the ordinary Franc cannon.

Therefore, although only eight 'rapid' guns were put into battle, the 'Mongolian' ancients felt that there were more than twenty 'guns' firing at themselves. In a hurry, he rode his horse and whipped through the mouth quickly. Under their "drive", the soldiers of the Han army banner had to run desperately towards the city wall, otherwise they would be trampled into 'meat' mud by "their own people".

However, the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry rushed through the "hurdle" of one hundred and fifty steps, and it was not safe. Zhou Yang saw a large number of cavalry pouring in, and immediately shouted: "Lu Mi, 'shoot' and attack!" ”

At the sound of the order, sixty long spear barrels of black 'holes' and 'holes' immediately stretched out from the 'female' wall at the head of the city, and all of them were fired in a moment. For a while, the sound of banging was endless, and the city was filled with gunsmoke.

Looking at the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry again, it is even worse than just now. Although he was killed by rapid-fire artillery shelling just now, the number of shells was limited after all, and the casualties caused directly to the 'Mongolian' ancients were not too many.

But the Rumi gun is completely different from the rapid-fire gun. Its 'shooting' range far exceeds that of an ordinary bird's gun, reaching more than 150 paces, and the best 'shooting' range is also more than 100 steps, and its trajectory is very 'precise'.

Moreover, the 'Mongolian' ancients were all cavalry, and the targets were much larger than the infantry, and the Ming army also aimed at horses. At the sound of the gunshots, the horses that were originally galloping suddenly had a bloody hole in their heads or 'chests', some of them could still scream, and some of them didn't even have time to speak, so they fell to the ground with a bang, and the cavalry on horseback fell heavily into the dust. There were only more than 2,000 people in the 'Mongolian' Gu inlaid yellow flag, and in this round of Lu Mi's 'shooting', 50 cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses!

After the Ming army at the head of the city 'shot' in unison, they immediately 'handed over' the flint Lu Mi gun to the soldiers behind, and at the same time took the bird gun and continued to 'shoot' at the nearby target. This is also a helpless thing, because the production process of Lu Mi Gong is complicated, and the time consumption is far more than that of bird guns, so the output is very low, and there are only more than 100 in the whole army. In this operation, Xie Sheng brought in more than half of Lu Mi and snipers, which is also the limit of what he can do. The Reluctance is also much slower to reload than the Bird's Gun, so the Snipers have to switch to the Bird's Gun to continue 'shooting'.

Speaking of the Qing army, the eyes of the 'Meng' Gu Yellow Flag Leader Ulan are all angry! It's not because of the heavy casualties among his subordinates, but because he suddenly found that all the firepower of the Ming army was concentrated on the 'Mongolian' ancients, but the Han army flag was not hit!

Ulan is not doing it now. In his opinion, the 'Meng' ancients were the "proud sons of heaven" who were favored by the immortal heavens, and they were the "eagles on the grassland", and their gold was very expensive; The Han people are inferior "barbarians", cowardly "two-legged sheep", and despicable and shameless "Huza", so they should die for the 'Meng' ancients.

But now that the Ming army does not fight the Han people, but only fights the 'Mongolian' ancients, how can Ulan not be angry! He immediately flew in front of Tong Yangzhen, waved the whip in his hand, and couldn't help but say that his head was a whip!
