Chapter 57 The First Battle of Zhang Qing and the Artillery in Place

Zhang Qing urged the horse to come to the city of Hongzhou and shouted loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, I am Zhang Qing, the vanguard officer of the Great Song Empire, and now my Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers have arrived, and you will not hurry up to open the city and surrender, otherwise I will be the Great Song Tianwei and call you and the jade to be burned."

"The Song army is so rampant, and I see a certain family coming to capture you," a Western Xia general in the city shouted. The city gate opened, only to see that the Western Xia general was wearing a large leaf armor, wearing a curly leaf helmet, a square-headed chopping knife in his hand, a milky way horse in his crotch, galloping out of the city, the chopping knife in his hand was as fast as lightning, sweeping Zhang Qingmian door, Zhang Qing avoided the enemy general on his back, and the white pear spear in his hand was from bottom to top, stabbing the enemy general in front of the door, the enemy will vertical knife rung, open the flower spear stabbed by Zhang Qing, the two of them were staggered, the blade in his hand rubbed the spark, the wrong horse passed, the two turned around, fought the horse and fought again, only to see the enemy general holding up the swords, A force split Huashan, with the help of the power of the war horse charge, the knife is powerful, as if to split Zhang Qing in half, Zhang Qing sideways, a shake of the spear in his hand, the tip of the spear turned into a little plum blossom, the spear stabbed directly, point on the side of the enemy's long knife, the two horses staggered and a round, the enemy will be brave, if it is a hard fight, Zhang Qing is definitely not an opponent. The two of them hit the horse and turned around, charged and fought again, Zhang Qing shook the gun with both hands, the white pear flower gun in his hand was like plum blossoms falling snow, the meteor flashed, the gun stabbed the enemy general, the enemy general calmly waved the long knife in his hand to block Zhang Qing's gun road one by one, the two staggered in the moment, Zhang Qing handed the gun to the left hand, while the enemy will turn around unprepared, turn around is a flying locust stone shot out, a blow will hit the back of the enemy's neck, the enemy will be caught off guard, the face hit the ground first, unconscious on the spot.

When the soldier stepped forward to tie up the enemy general, I saw that the skin of the whole face was worn out, and it was bloody and miserable. Oh, it's too bloody, it's too violent, if this is seen by a little pot friend, what a psychological shadow it will have to cause, I have to criticize Zhang Qing, don't hit people in the face, you see, how will people find girls in the future, but now it seems that this guy should have no future

Seeing that the generals on his side were captured, the local generals at the head of the city were eager to recover the decline, and said to the generals under him: "Which general will go and bring the head of the enemy of the Song State." ”

"The last general's wish," a young Western Xia general, stepped forward and said

"The Song people are thieves, and look at the Ben will take your head."

The Xixia teenager galloped out of the horse, stabbed Zhang Qing with a spear in his hand, Zhang Qing rode a horse and fought side by side with the young general, and it was ten rounds, Zhang Qing turned around and charged, a flying locust stone came out of his hand, and the enemy will dodge the flying stone sideways, but who knows that Zhang Qing came after the spear in his hand, and the spear pierced through the chest, stabbing the enemy general under the horse

Western Xia lost two battles in a row, and the morale almost fell to the freezing point, no matter how Zhang Qing scolded under the city, no one in Hongzhou City responded to the battle

"Order, recall Zhang Qing, artillery in place."

"Artillery in place~" The herald of the Chinese army shouted loudly, and sent someone to call Zhang Qing back, after Ling Zhen combined with my theory and forged out the field heavy artillery, which has been all made into a gun carriage, and the gun carriage bracket can adjust the elevation angle of the muzzle in five gears, and the maximum elevation angle and the farthest firing range are as high as fifteen miles, and the highest lethal range is about ten miles, and in this place only more than three hundred meters away from the city wall, I am afraid that their city wall can not withstand repeated bombardment. Speaking of helplessness, the production of this heavy artillery in a hurry for nearly a year is only a total of 97 heavy guns, and the solid projectiles required are only 60,000, if you don't save a little use, I'm afraid that before the fall of the Western Xia, I will be short of military needs, but fortunately, the number of mortars can be relatively more, 500 guns, but the number of ammunition is also worrying, all the shelling running guns plus projectiles, is only 100,000 rounds, scattered to a cannon is only 200, so this first cannon I am aiming to prestige

Twenty heavy guns were lined up, the muzzles of the black holes were like hidden and immovable, ready to hunt the enemy's beasts at any time, and the gunners in groups of five skillfully manipulated the artillery, fixed the axles of the gun carriages, nailed into the anchor steel drills, opened the gun carriage anti-recoil to fix the supports, placed the guns, and prepared the projectiles, the whole process was silent and orderly, and it seemed that the military department had done a good job in training the artillery

"Gun Position 1 is ready"

"Gun emplacement No. 2 ready"

"Gun Position No. 3 is ready"......

"Gun emplacement 20 ready."

"Order, solid bullets, four-gear gun muzzle elevation angle, target city head battlement, test gun."

"Solid ammunition on the loading ammunition, target battlements, test guns~" The Chinese army herald heard my order and shouted an order to twenty guns

"Generals, you must remember that artillery will be a very advantageous weapon in war no matter when, but it depends on how you use it flexibly, although we have been vigorously developing and researching artillery, but the cooperation of multiple arms and the flexible mobility of cavalry still occupy the initiative on the battlefield today, about artillery, not only our artillery must learn how to use it, you, as senior generals of the empire, also have to learn the use of artillery, not only to be able to use, but also to be proficient, It is even more necessary to be able to flexibly use it in war, today I am leading you to the Western Xia, and in the future, the supreme heavenly power of my Great Song Dynasty will rely on the generals to promote the world for me. "Watching the artillerymen methodically loading ammunition and adjusting the gap in elevation angle, I whispered to the generals around me
