The roar of artillery is different for different calibers, large-caliber long guns are bang, or bang, large-caliber short guns are bang, and small-caliber long guns are pop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

These generals' cannons have a long barrel, but because they are shotguns, they all make a dull roaring sound when they are fired.

In order to increase the range and lethality of shotguns, the Jingbian Army has continuously improved its killing range.

Initially, the shotgun was wrapped in cloth, then sealed with a paper shell, and bound with a piece of wood of the same caliber as the gun chamber, and the tension during firing caused the shell to self-detonate, and then the small projectile was fired through inertia, increasing the range and power.

The power of the shotgun is not to be underestimated, that is, the shotgun shot of the Hongyi three-pounder gun, a shot projectile can also punch the off-road vehicle out of a large hole with a diameter of five centimeters, which is larger than the wound caused by ordinary bullets in later generations.

It is the shotgun of the Franc cannon, which is slightly less powerful than the Hongyi cannon, but the power is also extraordinary, not to mention the improved Jingbian army shotgun.

Those Qing cavalry rushed towards several small formations of the Jingbian army, and the cannons of each small array roared, and in the roaring sound, thousands of projectiles rushed out of the cannons, and in the thick white smoke, turned into a rain of metal, and threw themselves at those Qing cavalry.

In the blink of an eye, countless blood arrows spurted out, and in the screams and confusion, both the lightly armored archers and the heavily armored dead soldiers fell in large numbers.

In front of the small formation, most of the Qing soldiers and horses were recruited by the dead soldiers and the horses that drove over. The Qing army's combat method, those light cavalry, they generally do not charge directly into battle, they all use bows and arrows, and outflank from the left and right.

And the two wings of the small array of the Jingbian Army were deliberately opened vacancies, so except for those who were recruited, they rolled and rode lightly, and involuntarily only poured into the open space between the two formations. They dodged, and the unlucky ones were the dead soldiers.

And these dead soldiers rushed into battle, in fact, the power should not be underestimated, if the men and horses are heavily armoured, sometimes they can even rush into the city wall.

But against shotguns, it's a dead end, unless they're not flesh and blood.

Moreover, in order to increase the power of the heavy cavalry, they are closely lined up, which makes them good targets for shotguns.

And the five Francophone cannons in front of each small formation of the Jingbian Army, the range covered by their shotguns was enough to sweep away this wave of dead soldiers who were attacking the army formation head-on.

In front of each battle, the dead men and horses crowded and fell, and many bloody horses jumped wildly in fright, causing great obstacles and confusion to the follow-up men and horses.

The momentum of the Qing cavalry and the array immediately slowed down, but by inertia, there were still some remnants of the horses in front of them, and there were follow-up rolling heavy horses.

However, at this time, the general Franc machine guns in the small formations were loaded with shotguns, boom, boom, boom, all the guns roared, and ruthlessly spewed out a large stream of brilliant flames in front of him.

By this time, the front of the Jingbian Army was covered with white smoke, which made it impossible to see the movements inside and outside the formation, and the sight of both sides was blocked. However, the projectile does not need to be shot by the eye, especially in the shotgun of the Jingbian Army, the lead bullet that is as dense as raindrops will sweep down more Qing soldiers and horses in front.

Some of the dead soldiers in the projectiles flying in the sky were beaten to minced meat on the spot, and more of them were densely packed with blood holes for those who were recruited. Hearing the terrible howl in front of the battle, countless blood-soaked and crazy horses rolled and rushed in all directions.

The dead soldiers in front of each formation rushed into battle, and they had become strong crossbows, and the end was that the follow-up heavy cavalry was about to rush, and there was no place for them to let go of their horsepower. Their murderous dead soldiers led the herd of horses into battle, and in an instant it became an empty talk.

Such a result was also due to the well-trained artillery of the Jingbian Army and the use of the Franc machine.

…,

If you use the Hongyi cannon to fire shotguns, although the firepower is fierce, but under the wild rush of their men and horses, they only have time to fire once, and it is difficult to block the heavy cavalry that comes after.

However, the Franc machine gun, especially operated by the gunners of the Jingbian Army, did not even need twenty seconds for the first three guns. From the enemy's cavalry into the 200 meters, all the way to the front of the formation, they can fire two or three shots, which is also the advantage of the Franc cannon in close combat.

"Ten thousand enemies!"

Seeing that the Qing cavalry in front of him was in a mess, the commander-in-chief of the first-class army in each small formation took the opportunity to drink the order.

Because of the artillery firing shotguns, there were not many first-class gunners defending in front of each small formation, only fifteen gunners. Behind them, however, there were a large number of pikemen, with a heavy mass of 10,000 enemies in their hands, and a man beside them with a fire fold, which was specially lit for them.

Hearing the order of the Shangguan, they immediately lit the ropes of 10,000 enemies in their hands, and in the roar, they held the wooden handles and threw them forward one by one.

"Ten thousand enemies!"

In addition to the Qing soldiers who attacked the front formation, the tide of Qing cavalry also swept into the formations, most of them were light armor, and there were some dead soldiers behind them.

Seeing the rolling Qing cavalry pouring in, the voices of 10,000 enemies sounded one after another between the formations of the various armies.

"Blow up these wild boars!"

When the Qing cavalry came in, the first thing was that the pikemen on both sides of the small formations in front of them desperately threw out 10,000 enemies. As the Qing cavalry spread in, it seemed that in the formations of the armies in all directions, there were raindrops of grenades from the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, most of these military formations were located on undulating terrain or hills, and the pikemen had a relatively wide field of vision, and they threw 10,000 enemies in the rear, not worrying that they would throw them at the heads of the musketeers in front.

The sound of explosions was one after another, and as the Qing soldiers and horses entered, they finally seemed to be connected. In the rising fire and smoke, toxin-laden thistles and gravel flew sideways, and the Qing horses that surged in were blown up so that people were on their backs, and a group of ghosts cried wolves.

"Shoot!"

The sound of the explosion was accompanied by the loud sound of the platoon, and it was still the firecrackers on both sides of the front formations who fired first. With the influx of Qing cavalry, the sound of a row of guns sounded in front of the five first-class military formations in the rear and the second-class army chariots in the rear.

Each car formation sprayed a large puff of dense gunpowder smoke outward, and the thick white smoke quickly covered the belt of these car positions. Then it spread, enveloping the phalanxes one by one, and finally it seemed that the entire infantry camp of the Jingbian Army was shrouded in thick smoke.

The blows of the Jingbian army seemed to be everywhere, and those Qing cavalry who rushed into the gate first saw the chariots on both sides, and the dense spears were inserted outside, and the war horses did not dare to get too close.

But it doesn't matter, according to the cavalry and archery ability of the Qing warriors, they can shoot sharp arrows inward close to the chariot, or throw in some iron bones, javelins, throwing axes and other sharp weapons.

Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone entered, they threw black and flickering things one by one, and exploded in front of or beside them. The passage between these two formations is only one hundred and fifty steps, and this wave of people and horses, at the moment of charging, how to dodge?

One by one, 10,000 enemies exploded, blowing their men and horses into a blur of flesh and blood, and howling miserably.

Although everyone is wearing armor, they may not die as soon as they explode, but whether they are seriously injured or lightly injured, in such hot weather, nine out of ten will get infected wounds. Even if you are lucky enough to escape from the army, you will eventually suffer and die.

The 10,000 enemies who rained down quickly disrupted their cavalry formation.

And in order to avoid these explosive weapons, they unconsciously moved closer to the middle. This is because the 10,000 enemies thrown from both sides roughly cover a range of 30 to 40 steps on both sides, and only about 100 steps in the middle, which is the boundary that explosives cannot throw and touch. …,

However, they forgot that the bird guns of the Jingbian Army can break through heavy armor in 100 steps. The distance between these vehicle formations of the Jingbian Army was only 150 paces, and although according to the terrain, some of the vehicle formations were close to each other, and some were far away, but they were all within the range of the fire of the birds on the east road.

The sound of the platoon sounded, and the chariots on both sides were behind the plates, and the flames burst out one after another, and the heavy projectiles continued to bombard the people and horses passing by on the side.

The power of side fire has been well reflected in the Maxim machine gun during World War I. The frontal attack on the charging infantry, with 300 rounds of ammunition, killed only 30 or 40 enemies, and changed to the flank, killing and wounding as many as 200, 70 or 80 enemies.

The Jingbian soldiers on both sides of each formation almost hit one by one, and in the light of the fires that came out of each gun, many Qing soldiers and horses in front were shot and fell.

Cheap buckshot can easily tear through their cotton armor or iron-inlaid cotton armor, or chain mail inside. Let their blood spurt, let them fall to the ground in pain, and then their crimson blood, dripping and moistening the dry and hard earth of Liaodong.

Of course, this is not over, the tide of clear cavalry poured in, and the firepower on both sides of a column of military formations could not kill them all at once, but only confuse them. There were still large waves of Qing cavalry, pouring towards the small formation of the second column.

There are five car formations here, and the layout is the same as the first column of six formations, except for the Francophone guns in front of each formation, which has been changed to two.

Seeing the rolling Qing cavalry rushing in, after the attack of the front car array, they were crowded and chaotic a lot, especially in the middle area, there were many people and horses. It was the thunderclap of the Franc cannon again, and in the thick smoke of gunpowder rising from the muzzles of the guns between the various formations, layers of shotguns were fired, directly hitting the Qing cavalry that rushed in the crowd and directly penetrated the flesh and blood alleys.

The archers of the Qing army, outflanking the two wings is a tactic that penetrates deep into the bone marrow. Before they arrived in front of the second column, they saw that there were vacancies on the left and right sides, so they ran to that side, and most of the dead soldiers and sharp soldiers of the Qing flags were left in front of the muzzles.

Although these dead soldiers and sharp soldiers are elite, how can they have the ability to resist in the face of artillery and shotguns? After the cannon fired, a large number of men and horses fell to the ground in a pool of blood and struggled, howling miserably, their sophisticated equipment, a martial skill, in front of the lead is so cheap.

Immediately followed by the sound of artillery, there were 10,000 enemies thrown continuously, as well as bird shots that made the Qing soldiers' hearts palpitate.

And the Qing light cavalry who swept to both sides did not take advantage of it.

They ran from the flanks of these formations to the front, only to realize that they were wrong, very wrong. Once again, they were hit by fire from both wings, wrong, not two wings, but four wings!

They suddenly found that they were in the middle of two car formations again, and on both sides, there were constantly deadly Ming army 10,000 enemies throwing at them, and deadly birds were constantly coming.

In front, the Ming army lined up a huge long chariot, and behind the chariot were their fierce formations, layer upon layer of soldiers.

What's even worse is that in the rear, the six small formations of the first column of the Jingbian Army, below their car formation, are facing the backs of these Qing soldiers, what is going on? . ）
