The maximum firing range of this kind of flying thunder cannon is more than 260 meters, and it is estimated that due to the problem of gunpowder, novice launches and other factors, Luo Yang did not have much expectations, and took 150 meters as the ideal target, and then, first challenged by the infantry, and went straight out of the mountain road.

The Qing army immediately met the battle, with guns and cannons blaring, trying to trap the Taiping army in the mountain road, continuing to cut off the connection between the two Taiping armies, and completely trapping Shi Dakai.

Yang Yinggang, a general of the Qing army, personally stepped forward and commanded the troops to counterattack and intercept, and the well-trained Qing army was mainly infantry, covered by foreign spearmen, and some artillery bombarded from a long distance. There are also cavalrymen who covet opportunities in the distance, ready to strike at any moment.

The infantry soon engaged, and the battle with the complete use of guns and foreign guns was more like a battle of firepower, but the firepower of both sides was not strong, and under the impact of the Taiping army, the two sides soon met in close combat, and it became a hand-to-hand combat.

Luo Yang immediately commanded the foreign artillery to bombard. Because there were very few shells left, the intensity of the bombardment was not enough, but the shooting was really accurate, and often a single shell could kill dozens of dense Qing infantry, creating a terrifying area of flesh and blood.

"Up, move the Flying Thunder Cannon forward and get ready to shoot!" Luo Yang shouted loudly.

"Yes!" The artillery, under the leadership of Ouyang Jiong, hundreds of people worked together to quickly move this strange cannon forward and again, and while moving, many soldiers looked at each other, not knowing if this kind of thing could be effective.

The infantry did not make significant progress, but suffered heavy casualties, the Taiping army was stubbornly intercepted by the Qing army, of course, because of Luo Yang, the Taiping soldiers firmly believed that they could achieve victory, one by one high morale, morale was high, and because they learned that the main army of the wing king Shi Dakai was besieged in the front basin, and the situation was extremely dangerous, they also radiated a sense of mission to save the main force, and they fought without hesitation.

In order to overcome their instinctive fears, the officers and soldiers on both sides shouted hoarsely, like a tsunami.

Luo Yang quickly moved the artillery to the front position, and then, the command flag was unfurled, the gongs and drums sounded, and the infantry was asked to retreat!

The infantry was fighting fiercely, and when they heard the order, they retreated one by one with indignation.

"Chase, kill, and drive the long hair out of the rub!"

"That's right, the long hair is defeated!"

As soon as the infantry of the Taiping army retreated, the Qing army took the opportunity to storm on, and the large army swarmed like a tide.

In front of Luo Yang, I saw the tide of the Qing army surging wildly and converging on the northern section of the mountain road!

"Light the fire rope and bombard the Qing Demon immediately!"

"Yes!"

The Taiping soldiers absolutely believed in their commander Luo Yang, and the army with faith was invincible. They didn't care what this new cannon looked like, and they acted as soon as they heard the order.

Sparks splashed on the snorting arquebus, and the artillerymen who lit the arquebus hurriedly fell to the ground according to Luo Yang's previous instructions, covering their ears with their hands, and at the same time, dodging as far back as possible.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

A violent explosion erupted, and then huge black powder packets soared into the air.

In the fierce smoke of gunpowder, the artillerymen of the Taiping Army looked up at their faces and looked at the black pressure in the sky!

"Oh my God, what is this?"

"That's so powerful!"

"Can you really shoot that high?"

The explosion just now was nothing more than the explosion of gunpowder, and the amount of these gunpowder was extremely limited!

The Qing army was charging, and when they had the opportunity to gain an advantage, they suddenly heard a huge explosion, and they were also shocked, and many soldiers were so shocked that they even stood up and looked stupid.

This is a sight that has never been seen before, and everyone does not know how powerful these huge things that fly into the sky can be, and how much of a threat they bring to themselves, out of instinctive curiosity, some stand and watch, and some run to watch.

Of course, some of the smartest Qing troops already felt that something was wrong, such as Yang Yinggang, the commander of the front line, who felt extremely strange, so he hit his horse and dodged behind.

"Boom, boom!"

In fact, when those huge black explosive bags were about to hit the ground and hit the heads of the Qing army, the Qing army had already felt the danger and ran away one after another. As a result, the troops in the narrow mountain road were in chaos.

However, all these changes do not affect the effectiveness of the battle, and do not affect the power of the Flying Thunder Cannon.

A series of explosions resounded in the sky. Immediately, black smoke rose into the air, covering the entire northern section of the mountain road!

Although the screams of the Qing army resounded, they were faint and inaudible compared to the explosion of the violent explosive pack.

After only one round, the artillery unit of the Taiping Army was stunned, because everyone was stunned by the power of this huge cannonball.

The retreating Taiping infantry and foreign spearmen also froze together, many of them were almost deaf because of the relative distance, and some people were so frightened that they fell to the ground and did not dare to move again.

Later, these Taiping infantry kept talking about that day, they really thought that the heavens and the earth were going to be torn apart, and God was angry, "What is that?" A large thunderstorm has blown up people's souls! ”

More soldiers thought that there had been an earthquake, and even after the retreat was interrupted, several of the Taiping soldiers were bounced up by the violent earthquake effect, or they were unsteady on their feet and fell directly.

This bombardment, all the participants, the survivors, many years later, also remembered.

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the scene of the mountain road being densely bombarded by flying thunder cannons, and all the Taiping troops were first shocked and silent, and then cheered.

"Good! Good! ”

Thunderbolt shells bombarded the mountain tracks, a few detached from the target, blasted farther, and some hit the ridge next to it.

A large area of the Qing army, at least three or four hundred men, was all turned into tattered tomato sauce and smeared on the narrow mountain roads.

"Charge!" Luo Yang took the opportunity to command the troops to counterattack.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army woke up from the dreamlike realm, and immediately lifted their spirits, shouting wildly and rushing out.

The most elite infantry of the Qing army was slaughtered, and the rest of the troops were terrified and immediately collapsed. The soldiers of the Taiping Army went north out of the mountain road and chased wildly, cutting down many Qing demon troops who were shocked by the sound of artillery and their legs were in a mess, and countless casualties were killed.

Yang Yinggang, a general of the Qing army, had never seen the enemy fight like this, and knowing that the situation was different, he did not dare to fight, so he immediately led his troops to retreat to the east sensibly.

Luoyang's troops attacked on all fronts, especially the cavalry, and quickly dispatched to pursue and kill the Qing army, with soaring horses and flying iron hooves, cutting down hundreds of Qing troops on the way to escape.

The Qing army was defeated, discarded all supplies, barracks, etc., and fled to the southeast, along the edge of the mountain, and the direction of escape should be the Dustpan Bay Pass.

Chasing the enemy with cavalry, Luo Yang sent infantry to destroy the fences and trenches left behind by the Qing army, and quickly filled in the road to the north.

Most of the soldiers were collecting the booty all over the ground, and took the opportunity to capture some of the wounded soldiers of the Qing army.
