Chapter 466: Dolgon's Enlightenment

All the artillery of the warring sides, whether it was the Western-modified Furlong machine gun imported from the Tartars or the howitzers of the Tuanshan Army, was made of metal and copper.

Tension is no stranger to the materials used to make artillery, and modern artillery can fire continuously for several hours without stopping, because the material of the gun body is not copper, but alloy steel. The alloy steel used in the body material of modern artillery is generally made of medium carbon, nickel, chromium and platinum alloy steel, and a small amount of vanadium is added to cast as modified steel.

The current level of science and technology in the Tuanshan Fort Workshop is not high, and it is impossible to make any alloy steel, so it is helpless to still choose copper to cast cannons.

But copper is a metal that has one advantage and disadvantage, that is, it is too good at conducting heat......

The cooling problem of the barrel must be solved by the appearance of alloy steel, so at present, regardless of whether the howitzer is more advanced than the Tartar artillery, everyone uses the same copper, so the cooling problem is a thorny problem that both the enemy and the enemy will encounter.

Therefore, the artillery of the enemy and us on the battlefield of Guangluyuan could not be gorgeously transformed into a "Katyusha", and the "boom, boom, boom" sound non-stop, and they had to be shelled at the most critical moment in order to receive the best results.

With Dolgon's order, the artillery of the Manchu side was the first to fire.

For a time, the Chinese troops of the Tuanshan Army were subjected to unprecedented fierce artillery attacks, and the huge black solid projectiles grinded a bloody path in the prostrate place of the soldiers, until they finally became the "end of the strong crossbow......

He is worthy of being the "king of war", and even at a distance of about two miles, the artillery bombardment of the Qing army caused considerable casualties to the Tuanshan army.

This. It's also unavoidable!

The picture of "killing 10,000 enemies and destroying zero people" is too beautiful. Tension is something I can't even think about......

Fortunately, the distance between the Chinese armies on the two sides is also two miles, and the power of the Tartar cannons is still quite discounted - you must know. The power of this solid bullet lies entirely in kinetic energy, and distance is the biggest obstacle to kinetic energy.

After withstanding several rounds of artillery attacks from the Tartars, the Manchu army and the army of Duoduo on the right flank began to charge.

The tension has been withheld, and what I am waiting for is this moment!

"Signal flares are fired, and the artillery team fires!" Zhang Li's face was solemn, and his speech was not fast, but there was no hesitation.

Soon, "boom-" two cannon shots rang out. Two flares with long red "tails" shot into the sky!

It was too late, but it was too late, and more than 100 howitzers of the Tuanshan Army, which had already been suffocating the flames, rumbled violently and sprayed tongues of fire!

The Qing army originally thought that the artillery on their side had suppressed the Tuanshan army, and the casualties of the Tuanshan army were not small from a distance, so the speed of the charge was also very fast, and they all thought of capturing the position of the Tuanshan army "in one go" -- who would have thought that there was a sentence they had never heard before, but this time they really realized it: If they come out to mix, sooner or later they will have to pay back......

Now the faster the Qing army charges. The faster you die!

The howitzers of the Tuanshan Army used flowering shells, relying on the sputtering of steel balls in the shells instead of relying on the kinetic energy of solid bullets to kill and injure the enemy, so the killing area was far better than that of Tartar artillery. In addition, now that the Tartar army is charging, the distance has been shortened a lot. The battlefield immediately turned into Shura Hell!

Even, even the left flank of the Tuanshan Army was fighting together, and Pan Batian and Shang Kexi, who had begun to be unable to support it, had to lie on the ground and cover their ears tightly.

The charging Qing Chinese troops suffered heavy casualties under heavy shelling. The soldiers scurried around, frantically searching for shelter.

But the battlefield is the plains. Where can there be a place to hide? The Tartars had no choice but to crawl under the corpses of their own soldiers, which had been blasted into a sieve by the steel balls that had been sputtered from the cannonballs that had fallen to the ground. Hoping to escape......

This Chinese army is a Jurchen, the core of the Tartar army, and now it is actually beaten like this, and Dolgon can no longer sit still.

But what can be done if you can't sit still? Wait, you can only grit your teeth and wait!

Fortunately, after five rounds of firing from the Tuanshan artillery, two more than the Tartar artillery, the roaring finally stopped - the barrel was already very hot, and it had to wait for a long time to cool down.

The soldiers at the front of the Qing army were still hiding under the corpses of the "little friends" and were terrified, and the follow-up army saw that the artillery of the Tuanshan army had finally stopped firing, and immediately swarmed up.

In fact, those who were at the front were not killed, and they were all frightened, so how could they have the courage to continue fighting? They are part of the abandoned group, and the real killer is the troops that rush up later.

Rao was so, and Dorgon's heart was bleeding...... Because he knew very well that the part of the Eight Banners infantry that was killed by the artillery fire of the Tuanshan Army was at least 3,000 people!

Dolgon's whole body trembled violently, and he said to himself: "The power of artillery, so far! My Eight Banners warriors didn't even meet the enemy's face, and they suffered such a big loss! In the future, I'm afraid I'm going to have to innovate the tactics! ”

The guards and heralds around Dolgon looked at each other, and the "I Daqing" full of eight banners infantry was blown up by the artillery of the mountain army, and everyone was depressed! However, Prince Rui did not suffer from gains and losses, and he actually figured out what "innovative tactics", and he didn't know what tactics to innovate?

Although these people all have a big question mark in their hearts, but the identity gap is too big, who dares to ask each other?

Dolgon didn't pay attention to the expressions of the people around him at all, all his attention was on the battlefield, and the "innovative combat method" he blurted out just now was indeed a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he gave birth to a "brilliant" idea!

In the past, the "I Qing Dynasty" siege of the city was the Han Army Banner, the Mongolian Eight Banners, these "cannon fodder" first, when the battle was stalemate, the Eight Banners suddenly killed, thus laying the victory in one fell swoop.

The Han military flags as cannon fodder were all led by the Han people, and the formed ones acted as "forwards". As for the field battle, in the face of the Ming army, "I Daqing" did not have to be afraid at all, and went directly to the Eight Banners, and the Ming army never won a field battle.

However, after the Tuanshan Army sprung up, according to the emperor's instructions, the field battle must also be led by the Han Eight Banners. Originally, there was nothing to say about this - third-class citizens, similar to pigs and dogs, if they were not allowed to fill in their lives, would it be difficult for the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom to fill in?

But today's battle turned Dolgon's mind upside down!

Because the big killer of the Tuanshan Army, the artillery, did not beat Shang Kexi's two Tartars as soon as they came up, but waited for the time when the Eight Banners were charged, and then they opened fire in unison!

This Nima-

You can't get along with "my Qing Dynasty", right? Don't bomb the Han dog cannon fodder, and bomb my Jurchen warriors of the Qing Dynasty? (To be continued.) )
