The performance of this batch of new guns is indeed very easy to use, but the firing range is shorter. However, the weight is also extremely light, the weight of the door is only 90 kilograms, and a few people can carry it, and any post horse can drag it all over the ground. It is obviously easier to use in night battles, but it is obviously not so easy to use in city defense, and the deterrent power is much smaller than that of those heavy artillery.

It's just that the number of these three-pound guns is indeed extremely large, and the royal military factory directly transferred hundreds of three-pound guns to them, as well as nearly 200 one-pound guns with a range of about 450 meters.

Although the firing range of these one-pound and three-pound guns is not as good as that of some previous artillery, the weight is extremely light, the accuracy is relatively high, and more importantly, the quality is good, and the soldiers do not have to worry about exploding the chamber when using it. High quality is also a good reputation of the Royal Military Factory, as long as it is the military equipment manufactured by the Royal Military Factory, the front-line soldiers are very trusted.

This batch of artillery was actually allocated by the Royal Military Factory to the Fifth Infantry Division to form a field artillery unit.

A few days later, calm was restored to the city, and Jiannu began to concentrate on building various siege equipment, and the Ming army in the city was also actively preparing for the mobilization of materials to defend the city.

In the later generations of Dalian Port, a temporary wharf had been built at this time, and it was seen that ships from Dengzhou were constantly moving materials ashore. However, it is very convenient to send it into the Golden State Pass,

Yuan Keli learned that the main force of Jiannu had begun to attack Jinzhou, and immediately sent 10,000 sailors to aid Jinzhou, but before Jiannu began to attack the city, the sailors had already rushed to Jinzhou.

On the other hand, Mao Wenlong learned that the main force of Jiannu was gathered in Jinzhou, and also reinforced 5,000 troops to Jinzhou, and at the same time planned to launch an attack on Zhenjiang, just waiting for Jiannu to start attacking the city in Jinzhou. If an attack on Zhenjiang had been launched too soon, Jiannu would most likely have given up the assault on Jinzhou.

"After Jiannu attacks Jinzhou, we will take Zhenjiang, and at this time, Jiannu will not withdraw, nor will it be withdrawn. If they withdraw, they will be tossing around in Golden State. If we don't retreat, we will launch an attack in the direction of Shouyang. Threatens the rear of the Jiannu. Mao Wenlong decided to pay attention to the battle situation in the direction of Jinzhou at all times.

The offensive and defensive battle of Jinzhou Pass still started as expected, and Jiannu did not know the line of Jinzhou North Pass and South Pass because of lack of intelligence. The total strength has exceeded 35,000, and I don't know that the war materials of the Ming army in Jinzhou are constantly being drawn from Shandong.

On the twenty-third day of the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse, early in the morning, Jiannu sounded the rallying horn, and then lined up outside the Jinzhou Pass. 30,000 Han troops led by Li Yongfang and other traitor generals. began to show the siege equipment that had been built for more than half a month, and rushed to Jinzhou Pass.

The siege began, the artillery at the head of the city fired loudly, white smoke rose one after another, and shells hit the enemy troops besieging the city.

Screams and shouts came one after another, and as the shelling began, the enemy troops who had not yet reached the pass suffered casualties, but this did not stop the enemy's footsteps.

They still set up a series of ladders on the city wall, and the barbs of the ladders clasped the head of the city, and then they bit the steel knife and began to climb towards the wall.

The Ming army at the head of the city immediately poured all kinds of rolling stones and sassage trees that had been prepared downward. Muskets were also fired downward, and some hollowed-out stones were filled with explosives, ignited and dropped off the wall. Feather arrows are also pouring down on the enemy forces below the pass.

All kinds of war materials were thrown away as if they didn't want money, and the enemy troops besieging the city suffered heavy casualties on the spot.

Jiannu's infantry also dispatched at this time, holding bows and arrows at the pass, ready to provide fire cover for the Han army besieging the city and suppress the Ming army on the wall.

The idea is very good, but the range of Jiannu's bow and arrow is not as good as that of the Xuan Chongming Division, and a group of Jiannu infantry approached sixty meters below the wall, and Ma Shan was taken care of by the artillery.

The archers of these Jiannu were densely arranged. It's a good target.

The Ming army on the city wall immediately concentrated the three-catty cannons and one-catty cannons on the nearby wall, and soon gathered more than twenty guns, and after Jiannu fired a round at the wall, the rain of arrows killed and injured some Ming troops. Immediately after that, more than twenty artillery pieces opened fire in an instant. With a dense burst of cannon fire, a large number of shotguns erupted from the muzzles, whistling and firing at the densely lined Jiannu archers.

In an instant, hundreds of Jiannu archers fell directly in a pool of blood.

The picture was so miserable that people couldn't bear to look at it. The effective range of the shotgun fired by these guns was 450 meters. A pound cannon is also 380 meters, not to mention at a distance of 60 meters, the lethality is simply devastating. As soon as the shots fell, the shotguns fanned out, and the cannons swept across with great power.

Some of the cannons penetrated a Kennu archer, but still had no less momentum, penetrating an enemy soldier again, and then shooting to the ground due to the angle.

It was as if it had suddenly been penetrated. gave the Jiannu soldiers no time to react, and then those who were still alive found that a large number of people had fallen around.

The Ming army at the head of the city was also stunned when they saw this effect.

They did not expect that the concentrated use of these three-pound guns and one-pound guns to fire shotguns would achieve such a huge effect. Some Ming troops suddenly had an idea, why couldn't they concentrate more three-catty guns and one-catty guns for salvos?

Soon, the Ming army at Jinzhou Pass discovered that although this kind of artillery lacked deterrence in terms of range, its city defense capability was amazingly strong. Because these one-pound and three-pound guns can quickly move positions, it is very easy to concentrate when defending the city, and then fire shotguns together at places where the enemy is concentrated.

Where these guns are really powerful is obviously in the shotguns.

Those heavy guns, the transfer is very inconvenient. Even the Tiger Squat Cannon is more troublesome to fire. However, these one-pound guns and three-pound guns are relatively simple to operate and very easy to transfer. Those large guns can't do this, and there are only a limited number of them.

Soon the Ming army put it into practice, concentrated more than 50 three-pound cannons at one time, aimed at the enemy's most dense siege area, and fired another salvo.

A large number of shotguns, with the power of destruction, formed a dense metal storm, instantly covering a large area of Jiannu archers and the Han army that was besieging the city.

Fifteen hundred cannons fired a salvo, again at the dense enemy army. On the spot, five or six hundred enemy soldiers were hit on the spot, most of them were shot on the spot, and some of them were lying on the ground with corpses raised, and their mouths kept making terrible screams. The formation, which was originally relatively dense, instantly became sparse and pulled. The puppet Manchu Han army, which was climbing the siege, was still suffering from all kinds of attacks on the city, rolling stones, wood, oil and gold juice, and lead bullets from flintlock pistols. Originally, most of the people were beaten down like whack-a-mole by the Ming army before they climbed halfway, and at this time the back was covered by artillery fire, and suddenly the back couldn't keep up, and these enemy troops who were climbing the ladder were useless even if they climbed the wall.

On the besieging side, the personnel must be dense for a certain extent. Originally, this kind of ant-attached siege was a bit like a refueling tactic, and once the refueling was not sustainable enough, it would be even more refueling.

The Ming army on the city wall was completely inspired to once again fire a salvo of shotguns at the enemy troops below the city.

The Jiannu archers under the city were beaten to the point that they cried wolf, and after only a few volleys, they collapsed on the spot, leaving their corpses behind and retreating in panic.

The puppet Manchu Han army, which had lost its fire cover, was also ruthlessly repulsed.

The siege lasted less than half an hour before it came to an end. Wild boar skin and others were stunned from behind, and the firepower intensity of the Ming army simply subverted their understanding of offensive and defensive warfare.

Under normal circumstances, the defending troops do have a huge advantage because of the city walls, and can resist more enemy troops with fewer troops.

However, there must be a good side to everything, and there must be a bad side, and there are advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage of the defenders is that there is less space to deploy their forces.

The attacker can place the archers under the city and then suppress the defenders at the head of the city, where there is space to deploy their forces. The defenders in the city do not have such an advantage, so in terms of fire cover, the defenders are often at a disadvantage. The defenders at the head of the city can rain down on all kinds of weapons, taking advantage of gravity. However, they also had to brave the enemy's arrow rain to defend the city, and once they could not withstand the firepower, the enemy would climb to the top of the city, and then enter the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

Once hand-to-hand combat begins, it will enter a faster attrition phase, if the defenders in the city are at a disadvantage in terms of strength, even if the attacker replaces a soldier on the defender side with a soldier, it will be earned, as long as it continues to be consumed, and when the defender's troops are about to be exhausted, the target can be conquered.

However, at this time, the Ming army on Jinzhou Pass, with the limited area of the wall, actually played an extremely strong firepower density, which is unbelievable.

Zhang Kuantu, who was commanding the defense of the city, was also dumbfounded, and immediately reacted, and hurriedly ordered the artillery team that had just been formed to take turns to go into battle, not to put all the artillery into battle at once.

"My lord, our artillery is extremely sharp, why don't we use all of them together?" A subordinate asked confusedly.

"If hundreds of three-pound cannons and two hundred one-catty cannons are all put into battle, then Jiannu won't be scared away! How else does this consume the living force of Jiannu. Zhang Guangtu replied.

"Your Excellency is wise." Left and right reacted this time and hurriedly carried out the order.

Jiannu was indeed frightened by the artillery of Jinzhou Pass, but the wild boar skin was also unwilling. So after the first siege was repulsed, another wave of attacks was organized at three o'clock in the day.

This time, the wild boar skin invested tens of thousands of puppet Manchu and Han troops at one time, and at the same time dispatched more than 8,000 Jiannu archers, divided into four points to assemble, and adopted the pattern of flowers blooming on all sides to launch a fierce attack on Jinzhou Pass. At the same time, several engineering vehicles were dispatched to slowly push towards the city gate of Jinzhou Pass. (To be continued.) )
