Chapter 248: Bombardment of Dingxiang (2)

"Flying Thunder Battalion, fire!" Yang Wu, the commander of the firearms regiment, gave an order, and the Flying Thunder Artillery Battalion was immediately launched.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a large explosive package was fired from a barrel of more than 200 millimeters.

In order to make the firepower of the flying thunder cannon more powerful, Li Junxian increased the caliber of the flying thunder cannon to more than 200 millimeters. Although the gunpowder used is not so powerful, the power of this kind of flying thunder cannon is probably no less than that of more than 100 mm heavy artillery in later generations. What are the consequences if more than a hundred mm of heavy artillery hits the ancient city walls?

"Boom!" The mountains shook for a while, and the Turkic soldiers on the city walls seemed to be about to collapse.

"What's going on? What's going on? Jieli said angrily.

It was the first time that Jieli had felt this way, and even he felt a great danger. Now the walls are shaking like this, and he can't accept it.

"Khan! You'd better go down! It's too dangerous here! A Turkic nobleman said.

"However, my Turkic warriors are defending the city, how can I go down?" Jie Li said righteously.

The Turkic nobleman immediately said: "Khan, you are the backbone of my Turks, if you have a very busy problem, who will lead us against the attack of the Han Chinese!" ”

"Well, then I'll go down for the time being, okay!" Jieli said.

Jieli actually wanted to go down and hide for a long time, and he always had a feeling that this city wall seemed to be a little unreliable. Jieli didn't really think that the walls would collapse until now, but he had to prepare for what happened. He was a politician, and he had just said that he would fight with the soldiers, but as soon as someone else found an excuse for him, he would immediately go down the slope and carry out the execution. This is the hypocrisy of politicians.

"Proofreading is complete! Exactly the launch! Yang Wu then shouted.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" Dozens of flying thunder cannons were fired at the same time, and one by one explosive packs were sent to the city wall of Dingxiang City.

"Bumper bumper ......" There was another explosion sound, and the city wall was blown out of huge gaps.

"Ahhh......h

"Ahh Yes... Ahh

The Flying Thunder Cannon is powerful. However, there is one place that can never be compared to regular artillery, and that is the rate of fire. The rate of fire of the Flying Thunder Cannon is very pitiful, and it may not be able to shoot a shell in a minute, and the rate of fire is even worse than that of the Tiger Squat Cannon, which is far worse. Therefore, it takes a few minutes for each thunder cannon to fire.

"Cool down!" The commander of the artillery hurriedly shouted.

A puff of white smoke rose from the "Zizi Zi ......", and the Flying Thunder Cannon was poured into the chamber of the cannon with water used for cooling.

"Ready to launch!" Yang Wu then shouted.

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

"Bang ......"

The walls of Dingxiang City were bombarded by flying thunder cannons again, but this time there were no Turkic soldiers on them. Because those Turkic soldiers also removed the city wall to avoid being accidentally injured by this "conscienceless" thing, it would be miserable.

"General. Hurry up and figure it out! Said the Turkic low-ranking officer.

The general, too, had a headache and said, "What can I do?" The Han people can actually do it, borrowing the thunder to hit us, what can we do? ”

This Turkic general didn't know that this was actually artillery, and it wasn't a thunderbolt at all. However, in ancient times, it was impossible to distinguish between artillery and thunder. Especially at the beginning, they thought that artillery and sky thunder were the same thing.

Li Junxian looked at the city wall in the distance with a special binocular, and immediately shouted: "Okay! Yang Wu, this kid did a good job, and he actually trained the artillery like this! This time the battle ended. I'm afraid that one of his first achievements is indispensable! ”

As soon as Li Junxian said this, Yang Wu's first merit couldn't run away. And those other troops are a little envious, because this is a tough battle, and it is inseparable from artillery. So. This time, let Yang Wu attack the city with an artillery first, and the first credit was given to Yang Wu.

"It's all General Li, you invented artillery, and Yang Wu was able to use such results!" Someone immediately patted the sycophants and said.

"Yes, yes, it was all General Lee who invented firearms. Yang Wu has such merits, and General Li is the first hero. ”

As long as you have status, there are people everywhere who pat your ass. Now those sycophants have come over to shoot Li Junxian's ass. I want to get Li Junxian's attention in the future. And Li Junxian gave them the impression that he was also a sycophant, and he often went to shoot Li Shimin's sycophants, so they all learned from each other.

"Order Yang Wu, continue to attack! Fight to bombard this wall until it collapses! Li Junxian continued.

"Keep attacking! Yang Wu also ordered.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Bang ......"

"General, we can't stand it! Quite a few Turkic warriors have already been killed. Even if it wasn't hit, it was shocked to death. Now, many of our warriors can't stand it anymore and seem to be going crazy! ”

This was the first time the Turks had seen this, and they all thought that they had been damned, so some of them with weak willpower were already on the verge of madness. This is the first time they have encountered artillery, so they can't bear it. If Li Junxian fought them face-to-face, I am afraid that even if they fought to the last person, they would not collapse their will. But now, they can't take it anymore.

"Tell our Turkic warriors that this is a weapon of the enemy, not a thunderbolt!"

"Yes, we have said it, but they don't believe it at all!"

The Turkic general also had a headache, and now it feels very bad that he can't fight back after being beaten. Moreover, before the enemy was actually seen, several hundred people were already lost. If the bombardment continues like this, then I am afraid that there will not be enough Turks. And the Turks also knew that the reason why they were able to do this was because of the cloud cause of the city wall.

They already had experience a few years ago, and without seven or eight times more Turkic cavalry, it was impossible to break through Li Junxian's bow and crossbow version of the queue and shoot, so now the Turks could not do without the city wall. If you fight Li Junxian and them head-on, I am afraid that it will be the Turks who will lose.

Now the Turks are sad, they can't beat Li Junxian in the field, and now the siege war is also being pressed and beaten, what is this called!

On Li Junxian's side, he suddenly ordered: "Let the artillery stop for a while." ”

"Why? General Lee, as long as we bombard a few more times, their walls will fall. Now we have only fired three times, and their walls have fallen by a fifth. As long as we bombard for an hour, the Turks will be at our mercy. ”

"The artillery is too hot, and if the bombardment continues, I'm afraid the artillery will blow up. Do you understand? (To be continued......)
