Section 233 Three artillery

Yang Chao clearly saw that behind the broken sandbags, there were first a few captives who picked up the fallen sandbags in their hands.

Behind them, there were elite armor soldiers who kept stepping up to the city and immediately formed a dense formation, intending to fight at any time.

Yang Chao also saw that the captives had also erected a wooden wall about thirty zhang away from the wooden wall on this side, and there were still mud and sandbags piled up behind the wooden wall.

Between the two wooden walls, in addition to the captives who formed an infantry formation, there were also corpses, most of them were the corpses of the people, and there were also a few elite soldiers of Yang Chao, wearing familiar black iron armor, but someone was depriving them of their iron armor.

This is the picture that Yang Chao saw, and everything paused as the wooden wall completely collapsed.

The experienced captives quickly came to their senses, the nearest captives outside the kicking point, only about six zhang away from the tiger squat cannon, they had already arranged the formation, some of the captives were holding guns, some with knives and shields, lined up in a dense formation, facing the south, he was only slightly stunned, and then one of the voices shouted, and the others all shouted and rushed over.

"Fire!"

In fact, there was no need for Yang Chao to remind him, the gunner was just stunned for a moment, and the two that had just been loaded had already been ignited.

It's a pity that the two lead bullets rushed straight over, only startling the captive, and the cannonballs passed directly through and hit the sandbags on the opposite wooden wall, and after releasing all the kinetic energy, duang smashed on the ground with a bang.

"Charge collectively and stop them!"

Yang Chao ordered.

At this time, the pro-soldier team lying on the ground immediately jumped up, charged with a familiar wall formation with spears, and soon collided with the captives who were close at hand, and there were casualties immediately after the close encounter.

Yang Chao himself lay on the ground and did not move, and shouted again: "Wang Pu! ”

"Here!"

Wang Pu was lying on his stomach behind Yang Chao, and immediately crawled over.

"You take your people to rush once. First beat the captives back ten zhang, and then take Zhao Kang to slowly retreat together! ”

Yang Chao noodles should be paid at the right time.

Wang Pu answered, and immediately began to greet his men.

saw that Wang Pu also led people to jump into the wooden wall of the captives. The short distance of thirty zhang between the two wooden walls is like exploding a pot. The captives frantically rushed towards this side, and one after another, all of them were attacking south!

"Reload now, quick!"

Yang Chao urged the gunners to reload, but two of them had already been loaded and could not be taken out for a while.

But over there, Wang Pu and Zhao Kang had already been squeezed by the captives and retreated.

At the beginning, they used the power of the charge, especially the charge of Wang Pu's hundred people, which was still very imposing on the narrow city wall. At that time, several rows of people rushed up in a wall formation, and it was a random stab, and the captives were pushed back a few steps.

But after the three-plank axe, the captives stabilized their formation and immediately began to counterattack.

After all, the captives had already gathered a lot of troops behind the wooden wall at this time, and it was roughly estimated that there were as many as seven or eight hundred people, which was equivalent to the elite of Bayala of one banner.

Therefore, Wang Pu and Zhao Kang were beaten and began to retreat, but they retreated very slowly, and every step was the price of blood. The blood of the captives, and the blood of the Ming army.

Seeing that except for the two tiger squat cannons that really couldn't pour out the cannons, the other eight tiger squat cannons were all loaded. And also filled a cannon outside the kid.

Seeing Wang Pu, they had been compressed to the point where they were three feet away from their side.

Yang Chao immediately shouted: "Retreat!" ”

Then Wang Pu and Zhao Kang were heard shouting back at the same time, and their soldiers accelerated and retreated, quickly distancing themselves from the captives.

The captives did not give an inch, pressing step by step, but they could only bite the soldiers in the first row, but the soldiers in the back row calmly retreated.

One by one, the soldiers crossed the tiger squat cannon and stopped behind Yang Chao.

"What are you doing in a daze, array!"

Yang Chao roared angrily, and just retreated the stupid soldiers. Immediately lined up again.

Seeing that those who stayed at the end were the twenty or so personal soldiers led by Zhao Kang. It's also all the pro-soldiers, who just rushed over. A few more were lost.

Yang Chao yelled: "It's all there, run back!" ”

Although they have undergone a long period of queue training, it is impossible to turn around and run away immediately at this time, some of them were assassinated by the captives behind them as soon as they turned around, and some did not turn around at all, and the lone army was overwhelmed by the captives.

Eventually, sixteen soldiers retreated.

The captives were in hot pursuit, but when they came after them, the first thing they saw was ten Tiger squat cannons ready to attack, and the gunners lying behind the cannons, with arquebuses in their hands, extremely nervous.

"Fire!"

Yang Chao gave an order, and the ten gunners couldn't wait to put the fire rope down on the medicine pool, boom, and the tiger squat cannon sounded one after another.

However, only seven cannons were fired in a row, and three of them were so shaky that they could not put the fire rope into the powder pool.

After the other cannons had gone off, they succeeded in igniting the gunpowder, and saw the gunpowder in the powder pool burn, a puff of white smoke rising, and then the muzzle of the cannon erupted with a loud bang.

Yang Chao has been stupid.

Because he saw the group of captives who had just been surging and killing, he suddenly flew back upside down, and his eyes were instantly sparsely pulled.

Crazy!

Yang Chao only had this thought in his heart.

Some can't even describe the scene they saw at this time, it was too fast, and between the lightning and flint, at least seven cannons were fired.

This time, it was not the big cannon just now, but the small cannons.

Although these cannons are small, they are not only loaded with one shot, a cannon weighs five dollars and is the size of a walnut, but a hundred cannons are crammed into one cannon, and a large lead bullet is filled on the top.

Eight out of ten cannons were loaded with such cannons, and a full 800 rounds of lead bullets were sprayed out.

In a narrow distance of five zhang, there are still female walls on both sides, and on the front are groups of pursuing captives, causing the kind of tragic scene that makes it impossible to look at directly.

The moment Yang Chao saw the explosion of the tiger squatting cannon, there were at least a dozen in front, and almost an entire layer of the pursuing infantry was sent flying, as if they had been stripped of a layer of skin, not only were they flying. In the face of 800 cannons, they were directly smashed, and then their stumps. and the artillery that crossed them and fired at the back, and then knocked the captives behind them all at once. It's like being hit with a hammer.

Stumps on the ground, flesh and blood splattered!

"What are you doing in a daze, continue to reload!"

Yang Chao was dumbfounded, not to mention that he had never played with artillery like this before, and even before he came to Haizhou, there were no such gunners who had really fought cannons.

Yang Chao has led people to fight with the enemy in short combat, and he has killed people with his own hands, and these gunners. It's just a few times these geniuses have fired cannons.

Now in front of their eyes, this hellish scene is happening, and they are not stupid.

It wasn't until Yang Chao yelled that they realized that this was the battlefield, and immediately climbed up and began to clean the chamber and load ammunition again.

It's just that the hands are shaking badly, but fortunately, the Ming army is used to using fixed gunpowder, and each cannon is wrapped in oiled paper for seven or eight yuan, after all, the cultural quality of the Ming army is low, and the training is relatively sparse. That's why this kind of cleverness is used.

The good thing about this little cleverness is that even a rookie gunner won't overload, or too little gunpowder. Affect power.

Seeing that the gunners began to reload one by one, Yang Chao had the leisure to carefully observe the results of the shelling just now.

Although the scene was tragic, this time the results were not as great as expected.

Yang Chao saw that many of the captives who fell to the ground actually got up slowly, and they were intact and not injured at all.

In the end, a cursory look shows that the captives who were directly killed were only thirty or forty people.

That is, it was only about the first three rows that rushed up that they received a fatal blow, and most of the people in the back were injured and knocked down by their companions who flew in front.

But unexpectedly. The captives seemed to be stunned by this sudden blow, and they were dumbfounded. One by one they just stood up, and then shouted at the officers. re-arranged, but he didn't think to come and kill the gunner at the first time.

The gunners were given sufficient time to reload, and when they had just recovered from the shelling and formed a dense formation again, the gunners finally finished loading, ten guns, each with a hundred boys, one big boy, a total of one thousand and ten shells, and the distance in front of them was less than ten zhang, which was a dense infantry formation of captives!

Yang Chao did not hesitate at all, and even was extremely excited in his heart, shouting: "Fire!" ”

A thousand lead bullets, frantically exited from the chamber in the scorching explosion of gunpowder, and crashed past like a grim reaper.

This time, Yang Chao, who has already prepared once, can appreciate the effect of the shelling more clearly.

Ten large lead bullets of nearly two catties directly knocked several captives in front of them away, and the five-dollar small lead bullets that followed behind the big lead bullets rushed over, and the close ones were directly hit by these lead bullets A hole, what a layer of armor, two layers of armor, all of which were pierced in a unified pair.

There were even some small lead bullets that flew past, not on the captive, but on the women's walls on both sides, and suddenly sparks hit the heavy wall tiles and stones, and flew diagonally ahead of the curve, and finally drilled diagonally into the flank of a captive.

This time the captives were farther away, giving the shells enough distance to release their power and expand the attack surface, so more captives were hit, although it was not as tragic as the first row was broken directly during the first round of shelling, but more were killed, hundreds of people died tragically under this round of artillery, and each person ate an average of ten shells.

Wang Pu, Zhao Kang and others stood behind, lined up and watched, only feeling a burst of madness in their hearts!

The gunner didn't need Yang Chao to yell at them this time, after the cannon was fired, he immediately reloaded again, at this time the barrel was already very hot, and they used a damp cloth to clean it, and there was a puff of hot air, which was still very hot.

But they still did not hesitate to pour gunpowder into it, this is the battlefield, and they cannot afford to slack off, even if such continuous shelling is a great damage to the barrel, and at the same time it is very dangerous, increasing the chance of exploding.

And just when they were about to be loaded, the captives reacted faster than just now, and they had already rushed over in formation, fortunately, no one had thought of forming a formation in this panic to shoot arrows intensively, but in such chaos, they were shelled twice at close range, and these captives could still organize an attack, which has proved that they are absolute elite soldiers.

But they were still a step too slow, and before the gunners could load, they could not get closer, and could only take another shot, as if they had run up to receive the shells.

And after this shelling, Yang Chao saw an even greater result.

Three artillery shells, three rounds of shelling, after the shelling, the captives collapsed!
