The two middle-level military attachés and generals in the "artillery team" of several thousand people temporarily formed by the Qing army talked with relish, and felt that the hundreds of cannons on their side could definitely directly bomb the city gate of Chiayi City into slag, and then easily enter the city to quell the rebellion.

In particular, they respect this batch of newly manufactured and put into use powerful cannons with a range of more than 200 meters, to the point of no return!

In fact, it's not just them, at least seventy percent of these thousands of soldiers have this idea. Eight cannons against a hundred? There is no suspense in this outcome.

Shi Wu, who was sitting on a gorgeous chariot in the center of the Chinese army in the rear, had a calm and calm smile on his face, stroked his beard, and looked at the thousands of troops and hundreds of mighty cannons that flashed like steel beasts with a black glow.

At this time, it was less than four hundred meters away from the city wall!

Shi Wu's lieutenant said to him with a smile: "My lord, I think these rebellious ministers and thieves who have seized Chiayi City are probably so frightened that their heads are dizzy. This is still more than three or four hundred meters away, and he is actually going to open fire? I have never seen a cannon that shoots so far away, except for the English ship's cannon, which can reach 500 meters away. ”

"Haha, the official also thinks that the thieves are panicking."

Both of them burst out laughing......

At the same time, Chiayi City Head.

"Aim! Fire!!! ”

Boom Boom!

Eight remodeled and refurbished Fran cannons suddenly burst into flames, spewing out huge tongues of fire, like reckless murderers spewing hellfire! Eight huge cannonballs burst out of the chamber with a loud roar, rubbing against the air to emit a scorching scorching breath. Like a meteor holding its tail, it shot towards the camp of the Manchu army in front......

So, the Qing army, who was putting on a leisurely posture of being crazy and cool, and was heading towards the dull sky, could only widen their eyes incredibly, dumbfounded as the shells came towards them. actually directly crossed the distance of more than 300 meters to 400 meters and fell into the crowd!!

Thundered!

The shell exploded, and the power was enormous.

However, it is a pity that only five shells hit the mighty artillery of the Qing army; Naturally, even the cannon belt rack was blown to pieces, and the soldiers escorting the cannon around were also heavily wounded. And those shells that did not hit the Qing army's artillery but fell into the crowd suddenly splattered with bursts of blood rain!

All kinds of arms, legs, heads and other human stumps mixed with splattered blood flew everywhere, pouring the Qing soldiers who were far away on their heads and faces. There were also some intestines that flew out and wrapped directly around other people's necks and hung on their shoulders, absolutely screaming and crying in fright......

All of a sudden, the originally majestic and majestic Qing army camp became a pot of porridge in a small area!

They didn't react at all, they were completely stunned and forced by being beaten from such a distance.

In fact, it stands to reason that because of their condescending, those Furlong cannons should be able to shoot at a longer range. However, Xiong Li considered that the age was too old, and if the range was not enough, he would startle the snake. So I waited until the Qing army under the city reached three or four hundred meters before suddenly opening fire!

Shi Wu in the distance watched the cannonballs whistling from the city really cross such a distance and fall into the camp of the Qing army, and his eyes were about to fall out of his sockets!

His mouth was wide open, like a duck pinched by a butcher's throat, and he made a flurry of frightened and incredulous "clucking" sounds. As for the lieutenant next to him, his expression was like seeing a group of fierce ghosts in the blue sky and daylight, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

The Qing army was stunned and forced, but the head of Chiayi City was full of cheers! Xiong Li and Han Tao, who were standing in a conspicuous position, were also slightly relieved in their hearts. I didn't expect that these old Fran cannons found in the barracks arsenal could really be used, and they were much more powerful than the Manchu cannons! Even compared to the cannon currently used by the Dragon God Sect, which was also the "enhanced perfect version" of the Qing army's mighty cannon that had been used in the Battle of Humen, it was even more powerful. This is actually the gap in the nature of the technology. The firearms and troops of the Ming Dynasty were very strong...... It's a pity that he died of overall corruption and the loss of initiative, and finally let the Manchus pick peaches.

Xiong Li roared loudly: "The starting officer, and the people of the artillery squad are still stunned for what to do!" Hurry up, use all your strength to attack the Qing army from a long distance first. Be sure to weaken the Qing army by at least forty percent within their effective range! If you can't do military justice! ”

"Yes!! Keep shooting! ”

Boom Boom Boom ......

The eight Fran cannons ran to the fastest speed, and the huge steel cannonballs headed towards the Qing army like meteors. Bombard cannons, shatter human bodies; Sawdust splattered and flesh flew everywhere. This is nothing short of a one-sided massacre! Relying on the strength of firearms, the Chiayi defenders almost beat the Qing army without the power to fight back!

Shi Wu suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes bloodshot, his face was extremely hideous, and he shouted like crazy: "Let them go at full speed!! Rushing to our mighty artillery as fast as possible can effectively attack the position of the thieves at the head of the city. Fast! ”

"Yes!"

In fact, there was no need for him to give orders in the rear, and the Qing army, which was under the brutal abuse of the Franco's machine gunfire, knew to rush forward quickly. As long as you can rush to a distance of two hundred meters from the city wall, the mighty cannon on your side can come in handy, and the situation will be reversed immediately!

The Chiayi defenders naturally knew about it, so they took advantage of this time to fire shells desperately. The barrels of the Furlong cannon were already boiling hot, and he didn't dare to stop......

300 meters, 260 meters, 220 meters......

I have to say that the Qing army in this era has not yet decayed to the point where it is as unbearable as it was more than ten years later. In addition, for the sake of the face of the imperial court, Shi Wu led the elite troops in the Fujian garrison; Or maybe they think that the other side only has eight cannons after all.

They actually stared at the artillery fire and advanced the front to a distance of two hundred meters in the head of Chiayi City!

At this time, there were only 3,000 left in the original 4,000-strong team, and only 50 of the 100 mighty cannons remained. But they were finally able to shoot back!

"Fire! Shoot me hard! ”

The Qing army general roared angrily, so that the remaining soldiers hurriedly bombarded the Chiayi city wall.

The grassroots generals of the Chiayi defenders commanded loudly: "All pay attention, squat down with your head in your hands, and dodge this round of Qing artillery volleys!" (To be continued.) )
