Chapter 832 Keep going until there is a Tartar!

[Today's third shift is delivered]

"Pull the Thunder Cannon Up"

Fang He clapped his palms vigorously behind him.

The so-called Benlei cannon is a Napoleonic cannon with a caliber of 12o mm. After a few months of shy equipping, it's finally ready to make its debut. The Navy 6 squad was equipped with a total of five artillery batteries, each with five Thunder guns, for a total of twenty-five. They will be a powerful force to fight back against the Tartars.

"Force"

"Force"

"Force"

Li Yang, commander of the artillery battalion, shouted loudly.

After equipping the troops with the Ben Thunder Artillery, Zhang Zhun made a great deal of changes to the artillery of the Tiger Ben Army. The original artillery battalion was all disbanded, and all the red-coated cannons and all the flying dragon cannons were transferred to Xue Zhidie's shipyard and prepared to be installed on the battleship. Because, neither the red-coated cannon nor the flying dragon cannon is suitable for the needs of the 6th Army in the field.

There is only a thunder cannon, which is a good helper for the field of the 6th Army. This kind of light artillery, which is supported by artillery trucks, dragged by war horses, and equipped with ammunition vehicles, can easily move with the 6th Army. Therefore, according to Zhang Zhun's order, the artillery casting workshop first rushed to produce 100 thunder cannons, and a total of four battalions were organized, each of which was responsible for different combat missions.

According to the unified establishment of the artillery of the Huben Army, the full name of the artillery battalion commanded by Li Yang should be the "Third Artillery Battalion of the Huben Army." However, because their main task is to assist the 6th Combat Squadron of the Navy in combat, everyone directly calls the 6th Combat Artillery Battalion.

After receiving Fang He's order, Li Yang immediately arranged for the soldiers to prepare to transfer the Thunder Cannon and related supporting equipment from the transport ship. For the soldiers of the 6th Artillery Battalion, it is still very delicate to carry the artillery, gun trucks, and ammunition trucks safe and sound, and there will be no accidents during the period.

This is not a task that can be done with brute force. The artillery of the Tiger Army is almost a branch of the army with the highest technical requirements. In addition to training, they also have to learn basic math knowledge every day. They are the most proficient in Arabic numerals in the entire army of the Tiger Army. The new fighters recruited by the artillery should also have a certain interest in mathematics.

As for the relationship between the elevation angle and the firing range of the muzzle, as well as the connection between the shell and the charge, except for Zhang Zhun, I am afraid that no one else can accurately calculate its formula, so Zhang Zhun simply made a table to fix all the data. As soldiers of the artillery battalion, they all have to recite it well, even if it is a tiger chasing the tail, they can never forget it.

Because of the high technical requirements, heavy physical training, and heavy mental memory, the artillery of the Tiger Army is indeed a very tired branch. However, the thought of carrying artillery to the land of Liaodong and beating the Tartars fiercely, everyone's mood was very high, and they couldn't help but forget about their exhaustion.

At this time, the port of Lushunkou had not been completely cleaned up. The navy fighters who went ashore first used black gunpowder to carry out several underwater blasts on obstacles under the water. Every time there was an explosion, there was a huge sound, and there were huge columns of water, constantly splashing, just like a dragon flying.

However, after a series of explosions, the underwater demolition team could barely clear a narrow channel. The power of black explosives is simply not comparable to the power of TnT explosives. After the continuous blasting, a sturdy special road opener drove back and forth in the channel like a bull, constantly smashing the debris on both sides of the channel and in front of it, and extending the channel to a safe range as much as possible.

Finally, after being convinced that the channel was relatively safe, the transport ship carrying the 6th Battalion of Artillery slowly sailed into the harbor and docked at the end of the channel. After the transport ship stopped, Li Yang led the soldiers to build an oblique sidewalk on the flat ground of the port and above the transport ship with thick wooden planks.

Originally, if there was a trestle, it would not have taken much effort. Between the boat and the trestle, only a simple gangplank is needed to connect. It's a pity that the trestle bridge at Lushunkou has been burned by Tartars, and even the underwater wooden stakes have been completely pulled out. The Tiger Ben Army now has great ability, and it will not be able to build the trestle bridge in the short term.

"Heart"

"Heart"

"Heart"

Li Yang kept reminding him beside him.

In order to ensure that there are no accidents, all the horsepower is changed to * manpower. The first cannon was dragged back and forth by everyone with ropes, and under the command of Li Yang, it slowly slipped down the sidewalk. The cannon moves very slowly. Fortunately, the sidewalk was still very wide, and when the gun carriage came down, there were basically no accidents.

"Good"

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

He stood by and carefully observed every movement of the 6th Artillery Battalion. This was the first large-scale military operation after the artillery of the Tiger Ben Army set up four battalions and uniformly used the Benlei artillery as the main artillery in the field. Whether the Thunder Cannon can wield the same power as Napoleon's artillery, whether it can be light and flexible, and whether it can be considerable, remains to be tested on the battlefield. After all, there is still a big difference between the battlefield in the East and the battlefield in the West.

Despite the help of the sidewalk, it took nearly ten minutes for the first Thunder Cannon to be successfully transferred from the ship. Subsequently, there are the related supporting equipment. With the ammunition truck in the back and the accompanying military horses, a set of artillery will take a lot of time.

Fortunately, with the help of naval soldiers, the 6th Artillery Battalion erected more sidewalks and could put down five guns at the same time. This greatly accelerated the transfer of the Thunder Cannon. Half an hour later, half of the equipment of the 6 Artillery Battalion was transferred to the shore.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion pulled the thunder cannon to an open place, and then drove the horses pulling the cannon over, reinstalled it, and then arranged it in a neat formation. Over time, the cannons were transferred and arranged in an orderly manner.

After the cannons and horses, there were ammunition trucks. According to the calculation of three ammunition trucks for each gun, the number of related materials is still quite a lot. Behind the ammunition wagons, there were also large wagons, which transported shells and gunpowder, much more in quantity. All the gun trucks and ammunition trucks are lined up together, and the momentum is still quite spectacular.

In the end, the twenty-five thunder guns, as well as all the gun carriages, all successfully landed ashore. During this period, there were no serious accidents, except that the hands of a few fighters were unintentionally injured by ropes. Under the leadership of Li Yang, the artillery battalion moved forward quickly. However, the roads on the shore were still difficult to navigate, and the gun carriages had to be kept very slow to avoid damage.

After experiencing several blows from the Tiger Army, the current Tartars have also learned to be obedient, and they have managed to destroy the road before the arrival of the Tiger Army. The potholed road does not have much impact on the even running of the war horse. However, it had a great impact on the march of gun and ammunition trucks.

Just from the port to the place where Li Yang's artillery battalion came to the center of Jinzhou, it took half a day. However, after a short rest in the center of the Golden State, they had to continue on their way. Because, the 6th Artillery Battalion was used to kill the Tartars, and since there were no Tartars in the central left of the Golden State, they continued to advance until there were Tartars.

Forward, it is the acropolis of Jinzhouwei. The Acropolis is still a certain distance from the left of the Golden State. Fortunately, after passing the Golden State Central Left, the terrain was flat, and the field itself was the road, so if the Tartars wanted to destroy the road, they could not destroy it completely. In addition, the Tiger Ben soldiers who marched in front filled the road as much as possible. This significantly reduced the time spent on the roads by the 6th Artillery Battalion. In the evening of the same day, the artillery battalion arrived at the Acropolis of Jinzhouwei,

The acropolis of Jinzhouwei was originally very majestic, and it was twelve miles around the city. In Liaodong, there were several Wei, which were the first established by the Ming army, such as Jinzhou Wei, Fuzhou Wei, and Haizhou Wei. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the country was strong, and when the Acropolis was built, it was built according to the strictest standards. Even after more than two hundred years of ups and downs, the outlines of these acropolises remain. With the power of the Tartar, even if it is to be destroyed, it cannot be carried out completely.

After spending the night at the Acropolis of Jinzhouwei and resting for a while, Li Yang and others continued to march north. At this time, the advance of the Navy 6 Squadron, the forward has already arrived at the front line of Shiheyi and Montenegro, and the base camp of Deli Win City Tartar, which is already quite close. According to the first step of the Yellow Dragon's plan, this is the front line of the Tiger Ben Army.

The 6th Combat Team of the Tiger Army Navy is stationed on the front line of Shiheyi and Montenegro to block the counterattack of the Tartars, and the 6th Army of the Tiger Ben Army will come to take over. Then, the Navy 6 Squadron will continue to climb 6 from the sea at the forts of Hongzui Fort, Guifu Fort, Xiaojiadao Pass, and Huanggudao Fort in the northeast. These fortresses are connected to Shiheyi and Montenegro.

As long as the Tiger Ben Army holds this line, then the back of Jinzhouwei will be safe. Until this diagonal line of defenses is broken, the Tartars will not be able to destroy the rear of the Tiger Army. In this way, the Tiger Army will have more personnel and supplies, and they will board each port in Jinzhouwei one after another.6

It is conceivable that as long as possible, the Tartars will counterattack Jinzhouwei as much as possible, and will not allow the Tiger Ben Army to throw troops into Liaodong. The focus of their counterattack should be the front line of Shiheyi. The Tiger Ben Army is here at Shiheyi to block the attack of the Tartars. Li Yang's artillery battalion undertook such a task.

"Li Yang"

"Come here"

As soon as the artillery battalion arrived at the front line, Li Yang heard Zhang Zhun calling for him.

Zhang Zhun's two war horses, the White Dragon Horse and the Fire Dragon Horse, are both good horses, and their gallop is of course much faster than the military horses that pull the artillery cart. When the 6th Artillery Battalion arrived at the front line of Shiheyi, Zhang Zhun had been waiting here for a long time.

"To"

Li Yang hurriedly stepped forward.

"Look ahead"

Zhang Zhun said with a grim face.

"Understood"

Li Yang agreed, raised the clairvoyant mirror, and looked at the front carefully.

Good guy, inside the clairhandly mirror, Li Yang saw that the plains in the distance were densely packed with Tartar cavalry. Judging from the banners of the Tartar cavalry, it seems that there are several cavalry with several flags, some with white flags, some with white flags, and some with blue flags and blue flags. It seems that the strength of each banner of the Tartars has been almost lost, and if you want to stop the advance of the Tiger Army, you must piece together the strength of several banners.

The distance between the two sides is about 500 meters. The distance is too far to see the face of the Tartar clearly, and the Tiger Ben Gun cannot effectively damage the Tartar. The number of Tartar cavalry, estimated to be more than 5,000 people, should be the full strength of the four banners.

However, behind the Tartar cavalry, there was a considerable amount of infantry. Judging from their weapons and outfits, as well as the formation of the formation, there is no doubt that they should be natives. The number of them is really not a lot at all, at least tens of thousands. It is inferred from this that Huang Taiji still recruited a lot of new troops from the deep mountains and old forests in the north. Huang Taiji was in a hurry to go to the doctor, thinking that relying on the strength of these natives, he might be able to create some trouble for the Tiger Ben Army.

In fact, in the eyes of the Tiger Army, these natives are not to be feared at all. Army, army, must be army, and then it can be a team. It's not that just a few people can be pulled out to form an army. The army is well organized and disciplined, and is by no means a rabble. In the traditional martial arts theory, no matter how strong the martial arts master is, when facing the army, he is powerless, and that's why.

Although there are a lot of natives recruited by Huang Taiji, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers may be good. However, these natives did not have strict discipline and were not tightly organized. On the battlefield, they are a rabble. In front of the muskets of the Tiger Army, it is unrealistic to expect these natives to do much.

What made Zhang Zhun feel a little surprised was that there was another rare phenomenon, that is, in Yue Tuo's team, there was no Ming rebel army with the Han army banner at all, and there was no second Tartar from Korea. In the past, when the Tartars were fighting, the Han military banner and the Korean two Tartars often couldn't wait to act as the vanguard. This time, neither the Han Army Banner nor the Second Tartar appeared, and I am afraid that the Tartars no longer trust these people and dare not pull these people to the battlefield, fearing that they will fight back.

Looking at the posture of the Tartars, it seems that they are not willing to take the initiative to attack the Tiger Army, but try to block the advance of the Tiger Army. The Tiger Army currently occupies favorable terrain, and if the Tartars attack, it will not be beneficial to them. However, the Tartars were unwilling to retreat easily, so they had to continue to confront the Tiger Army.

For the Tiger Army, the formation of the Tartars is also unfavorable. If the Tiger Army attacked forward, it would inevitably be harassed by the Tartar cavalry. The strength of the 6th Naval Brigade is only 1,500 people, and with artillery, it is only about 2,000 people. Without the assistance of cavalry, Zhang Zhun would not engage in a movement war with the Tartars.

"Entering the Position"

"Open the gun"

Zhang Zhun said coldly.

Since the Tartars didn't want to retreat, the Tiger Ben Army gave the other party a little color to see. The previous performance of the Ben Thunder Cannon had always been tested on the test ground, and now it was time to test it in actual combat. Let the Tartars see the power of the Thunder Cannon

"Understood"

Li Yangli agreed.

Immediately, he turned back to his artillery and conveyed the relevant orders.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion, seeing this posture, had already pulled their horses away and aimed their guns at the Tartars. The corners of the muzzle have been adjusted, the shells of the Benlei cannon have been stuffed into the chamber, and the projectile has been loaded, so it can be fired as long as it is ignited.

The ammunition carts have all opened their lids, and the loader is already holding a spare solid cartridge in his hand, ready to reload at any time. The fighters who were in charge of cleaning the chambers of the guns also had brushes in their hands. As soon as the shell is fired, he immediately clears the chamber and continues to reload and continue firing until there is an order to stop firing.

"Open the gun"

Li Yang said decisively.

"Tom"

"Tom"

"Tom"

The deafening sound of cannon fire suddenly rang out violently.

One by one, solid bullets roared out and smashed ferociously towards the Tartars' ranks.

Unlike the shooting of the Wyvern Cannon, the trajectory of the Thunder Cannon is much more curved. The main reason is that the caliber of the Benlei cannon is relatively large, and the weight of the solid bullet is very heavy, but the charge of the projectile is not very sufficient, and the muzzle of the gun must be raised in order to shoot the solid projectile to a longer distance as much as possible.

"Poof"

A huge solid bullet fell into the Tartars' queue, bursting out in clusters of blood.

These 12o mm caliber solid bullets, when they hit the human body, the effect is similar to that of a redcoat cannon, if the torso of the human body is hit, it will be smashed directly. If a human limb is hit, it will disappear without a sound.

Twenty-five thunder cannons were fired, about three per minute. Solid bullets were constantly smashed, causing considerable damage to the Tartars. You don't need a clairvoyant mirror to see that some Tartar cavalry were hit by cannonballs, and they fell to the ground together. The Tartars in Beizhili had tasted the power of the cannon, and their ranks immediately showed some signs of confusion.

"The Tiger Army actually has cannons"

Behind the Tartar cavalry, Yue Tuo's face was as gloomy as water.

Originally, it was thought that by avoiding the attack of the naval artillery of the Tiger Ben Army, the cavalry of the Dajin Army would have a chance to counterattack. Unexpectedly, the Tiger Ben Army actually pulled the cannon over. Since the Tiger Army has the cover of artillery and the favorable terrain, I am afraid that he will not be able to effectively counterattack.

It's not that Yue Tuo doesn't have such guts, it's really a serious shortage of troops, the current Dajin Kingdom can't afford to consume it at all, even if Huang Taiji is here, he won't make the decision to take the initiative to attack, because that is a completely stupid act. The Dajin Army has been frightened by the Tiger Army, and it is absolutely impossible to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Withdraw"

Yue Tuo reluctantly ordered.

The Dajin Army's active attack was no longer the opponent of the Tiger Army, and the only thing they could do was passive defense. I hope that the Tiger Army's attack on Deli Win City will not be so fast. I hope that Huang Taiji can give Deli to win the city and transfer some reinforcements, otherwise, Deli and win the city is really dangerous
