Today's first update, the second more is a little later, can't wait for the children's shoes, please step to wash the gap in Perak! Order

Knock knock!

The seven red-clothed cannons in Beicheng spewed out tongues of fire, and seven flowering cannonballs weighing twelve catties slipped out of the barrels. According to the demarcated coordinate orientation, a white parabolic trajectory was drawn in the air, and the Chinese military formation smashed towards the godson with a roar.

The godson thought that it was far away from Ningyuan City, and the artillery fire was not as good as here, so the formation was relatively dense and defenseless.

The moment the shell fell, it exploded with a bang. In an instant, the explosion shook the sky. Clusters of flames rose into the air, and violent shockwaves burst out in all directions, wrapped in steel balls. The shoe cavalry within a radius of more than ten meters was suddenly overturned on their backs by the bombed people, and their flesh and blood flew sideways. Screams stacked on top of each other.

The war horse was frightened and neighed, uncontrollable, and suddenly opened its four hooves and rampaged. Several horsemen on the horse were flashed and knocked off their horses, and those who landed were immediately trampled by the nearby war horses, which was miserable. Some of the cavalry were entangled in the ankles of the stirrups, dragged by the horses, and ran wildly, shouting heartbreakingly.

Seven flowering shells killed and injured more than 200 shoe cavalry on the spot, and the chaos caused by the frightened war horses trampled hundreds to death, and the Chinese army was in chaos and noisy.

Nurhachi was about to step forward and take control of the situation. Several sons hurriedly stopped him and protected him, retreating hundreds of meters before stopping.

Huang Taiji and Dai Shan hurriedly ordered people to protect Nurhachi, and then went up to control the situation in person.

A few minutes later. The Chinese army held its ground, and the fierce smell of sulfur and nitrate mixed with the stench of blood. Diffuse around.

The place after the explosion has been vacated. Among them, a large area of snow has been stained red, and stumps, broken arms, and internal organs are everywhere. There are cavalry, and there are war horses.

Huang Taiji frowned and turned his head to look at Ning Yuancheng. Thoughtfully. Daishan has been on the battlefield for a long time. He had killed countless people, but he had never seen such a powerful cannonball, and the bloody scene that made him a little disgusting, so he immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and shouted: "Hurry up and clean it up!" ”

Stabilizing the formation, Nurhachi urged him to step forward, listening to the report of his subordinates, his brows furrowed.

"When did the Han people have such sharp weapons?"

In the past, although the firearms of the Ming army were fierce, they mostly scared people, and the number of casualties in each battle was very small. After a hunt, the maximum loss is no more than 100 people. However, this time, the division went down to eight cities in a row, and there was no casualty until just now, and at this moment, five or six hundred people were killed and wounded in the blink of an eye, which made Nurhachi shocked.

"Father Khan!" Huang Taiji stepped forward and said: "All the soldiers and horses of the Han army in Liaoxi have withdrawn to Shanhaiguan, only Yuan Chonghuan's troops in front of him do not retreat, they must have something to rely on!" Presumably, there is a powerful firearm that we don't know! ”

Dai Shan said: "Father Khan! It's no longer a good place to camp! We need to stay out of the range of the Han artillery! ”

Huang Taiji said: "This place is five miles away from Ningyuan. Behind are passes and mountains, and there is no way to retreat and camp! ”

Then he pointed to the sea to the east and said, "Only by camping close to the sea can you avoid the enemy's artillery fire!" ”

Amin suddenly said, "How can anyone camp by the sea?" The Han Chinese navy is on Juehua Island, what if they attack us from the water? ”

Huang Taiji smiled: "You don't look at the weather!" On such a cold day, the seaside was frozen. How could the Han Chinese naval army attack? Again. Their navy is just a boat division, and the fire can't beat us at all! ”

Nurhachi nodded and said, "Babel is right! Those who are handsome must know how to observe the right time and place. You have to study hard! ”

Amin glared at Huang Taiji and said no more.

Then Nurhachi ordered the army to move to the sea and re-encamp.

At this time, Nurhachi looked at Ningyuan City.

Suddenly, Ningyuan City flickered again, and Nurhachi secretly said that it was not good.

Enemy attack!

The rumbling sound of artillery came, and white lines were drawn on the gray sky, and the second round of artillery bombardment by the defenders of Ningyuan came.

So fast!

Nurhachi subconsciously thought that the Ming army's firing speed was often slow in the past, but now it is only a few minutes apart.

Nurhachi suddenly had a premonition that he was sixty years old, and he was almost seventy, and this feeling frightened him.

Having won a hundred battles, does he want to break the halberd here?

Boom Boom!

A series of explosions sounded like thunderbolts. Suddenly woke up Nurhachi.

Although they had been prepared, the Lezi cavalry was obviously not used to this kind of long-distance flowering bullet, and suddenly several vehicles were killed and wounded.

"Speed up!"

The major banner owners and Niu Lu commanded their respective banner armies. Hide and camp in the distance.

Nurha's red scream. Since the beginning of the army. There have been no such casualties as passively beaten

Condition.

※※

On the drum tower of Ningyuan City, looking at the mushroom clouds rising in the distance, as well as the sound of the godson screaming and stacking rings, Di Haonan, Yuan Chonghuan, Man Hang, Zu Dashou and others were all excited, and the morale of the defenders of the city soared, and they couldn't help cheering.

The north and east cities were fronts facing the invasion of the godson, and the north gate was originally equipped with four artillery pieces and the east gate with three cannons. Because the red-coated cannon in Ningyuan City was equipped with a gun carriage, it could maneuver along the city wall at any time. At first, the seven red-coated cannons were transferred to the North City, and then the two above the West City were also transferred.

In this way, Beicheng hit nine cannons, firing every three or four minutes, constantly bombarding the formation of the godson. Since the firing elements had already been calibrated, the gunners only needed to pass the firing coordinates reported by the Guò Drum Tower, and then find the corresponding firing parameters from the record book, and then load the corresponding propellant and

It can be said that with this kind of precision strike, the defenders of Ningyuan can point where to fight. Provided, of course, that it is within the range of artillery.

The Dutch were the first to use flowering shells, and the Ming Dynasty bought imported shells through the Macao intermediary last autumn. Its overall structure is basically the same as the flowering bomb studied by Deng Haonan.

If the gunners use the Red Coat's Cannon to fire solid or grenade bullets, they can fire them once every two minutes. However, this is because flowering shells are much more complicated to reload. The time-lapse fire rope of the flowering bomb is very strict, and it cannot be short, otherwise it will explode in the air, and it cannot be long, otherwise it will not explode when it lands, and it may be extinguished by snow. Therefore, the series of corrections takes a long time, and the guide can only be fired once in five or six minutes.

For such a long time, if the shoe cavalry charged, they could only fire one round of artillery, and the shoe soldiers would be in the city.

Di Haonan had already noticed this problem, and his brows were twisted into iron bumps.

According to this situation, the threat of the red-clothed cannon to his godson is far less than Deng Haonan expected.

"Great!" Yuan Chonghuan said very excitedly: "With this red-clothed cannon, how can you be arrogant when you look at the wheel?" ”

"One shot can kill the enemy! The imperial court should be asked to seal the Weiyuan General Cannon! ”

Di Haonan rolled his eyes and said secretly: The generals in front of him are open-mouthed and unscrupulous, how can a single shot kill thousands of people? One or two hundred people is already amazing! The generals exaggerated to the point that thousands of people were killed in one bombardment, and the soldiers under them would be exaggerated to kill tens of thousands of people in one bombardment! to the mouths of the people. I'm afraid that the shell will be used as an atomic bomb!

But it's no wonder that rumors have always been talked about. Especially in modern times, distorting facts and malicious hype has become a kind of culture, which is really infuriating and helpless.

It is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all!

Di Haonan forgot who said it, and now he has a deep understanding, especially the history books with strong political colors, Di Haonan can only believe his eyes.

Those who wrote the history of the Ming Dynasty should die, and the history of the Ming Dynasty was written in a mess and did not match the truth. has been misleading Lao Tzu's judgment.

Zu Dashou is much calmer than others. Suddenly, he said, "My lord! In this way, the cannon was fired at the hanger in advance, so that the godson was on guard! ”

Na Haonan nodded and said, "That's fine!" You can first deter the shoes and kill their majesty. Twenty our army is mighty! However, you are also right. Let's fire first like this, so that the godson has a cowardice. However, have you calculated, by the time we finish a shot, the cavalry in the shoes should be able to rush to the city. And our redcoat cannon can't fire at close range! ”

Di Haonan's words made Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Jin Qibao and others who were happy next to them suddenly calm down.

Yuan Chonghuan asked, "Do you have a countermeasure?" ”

Na Haonan glanced at Yuan Chonghuan. Xindao: Originally, Yuan Chonghuan was supposed to be independently commanded, but he was here at this time, and as a result, he snatched all Yuan Chonghuan's roles. As a result, he did not have the opportunity to think independently.

That's fine!

Na Haonan thought in his heart, it is best to let Yuan Chonghuan lower his spirit, this guy in the province is arrogant and opens his mouth for five years, not to mention the exhaustion of Daming's finances, and he lost his life for this!

"The official's plan is to keep harassing them, so that they can't sleep tonight, so that they don't have the strength to attack tomorrow!"

Man Gui said: "It's just that there aren't many flowering bombs in this Yiren, less than 400 rounds in total, and they will be used up overnight!" ”

Na Haonan nodded, this is indeed a problem.

After all, flowering bullets are expensive, not as cheap as solid bullets.

By this time, Nurhachi's army had set up a joint camp on the seashore in order to avoid the shells.

Seaside?

Na Haonan had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said, "There is a way!" ”

Everyone hurriedly asked, but Deng Haonan did not answer. Just let everyone hurry up and rest to deal with tomorrow's shoe siege.

At the same time, Na Haonan ordered the artillery to bombard Nurhachi's camp with solid shells instead. Flowering bullets are mainly anti-personnel forces, while solid bullets are destructive weapons. The barracks used to bombard the enemy could not have been better.

The godson's camp was hit by accurate shells, and the wooden gate and wall were destroyed in an instant. Every time a cannon is fired, the shoe soldiers have to look up at where the shells are hit, and then decide whether to run away or not.

Nurha's anger was like thunder, but there was no way to take Ningyuan City without siege weapons, so in desperation, he had to order the sergeant to continue to retreat to the sea, away from the range of artillery and set up camp.

※※

Nurhachi learned that Ning Yuan refused to surrender. Seeing that he had bombarded his camp with artillery, he ordered his men to prepare their weapons and attack the city the next day.

The godson's siege weapons were rudimentary, and they were made of stout trees. The chariot is a kind of sharp weapon for attacking the city, it has a large wooden board and a row of thick wood spliced together, the wooden board is covered with several layers of cowhide, in order to prevent fire attack, people advance under the wooden plank. When you arrive at the bottom of the city, you dig a hole underneath and put gunpowder in it to blow up the walls or gates.

In addition to the cart, the leptonic is left with a hook ladder. A hook ladder is a long ladder with an iron chin on the top, which is embedded in the wall after hooking the city wall. It is not easy to be overturned, and then the infantry climbs ladders to attack the city.

The siege weapons are simple, easy to build, do not need to be carried, and can be used locally as long as there are nearby woods, so they have become the main siege weapon of the shoes.

It's night.

In Nurhachi's Chinese army tent, the banner owners gathered together to discuss the military situation. Huang Taiji had already counted the casualties of each banner, and was attacked by Ningyuan artillery in the afternoon. 6 Seven hundred and thirty men were killed, four hundred and fifty-five wounded, and seven hundred murderers were lost on horses

Nurhachi said angrily: "Before the war, we lost so many people first!" Ben Khan swore that if he captured Ningyuan City, he would definitely wash them in blood! ”

Dai Shan said: "The firearms of the Ming army have never been able to hit such a far before? ”

Azig said worriedly: "I see that there are nine such artillery pieces in the Far North City of Ningning, if hundreds of our soldiers are injured in every round of attacks, it will have a great impact on our military morale!" ”

Amin said disdainfully: "The Ming army has always liked to scare people, and there are not many of them afraid of this kind of sharp weapon?" Tomorrow only needs an hour, I will bring 10,000 sons and daughters of the blue flag, and I will break this city! ”

Huang Taiji sneered: "I don't think the Ming army has many of these shells that can explode, otherwise there will be no need to replace them with solid iron bullets later!" ”

Nurha equator: "This time I thought it was Yuan Chonghuan sitting in Ningyuan. Unexpectedly, there were three big officials in the city? Who could it be? ”

Amin asked, "We have done so much detailing, and there is no news?" ”

Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "Yuan Chonghuan is ruthless enough!" The walls around Ningyuan were cleared, and at the same time Yang Qi, the guard of Shanhaiguan, was ordered to break out after the outbreak of war. Anyone who retreats to Shanhaiguan will be beheaded! ”

Dai Shan asked: "Yuan Chonghuan is just an envoy, he can only govern the affairs of Ning Qian, and Shanhaiguan is not under his control!" ”

Nurhachi sneered: "This scholar is very bold! A few years ago, he ran from Beijing to Liaoxi alone, and let go of his arrogance, and he only needed him to defend Liaoxi! Even more so when he said it, the Ning Yuan in front of him was built by him! ”

Amin nodded and said, "It's hard for him to be so bold!" Disobeyed Gao Di's refusal to retreat, and then overstepped his authority to order the guards of Shanhaiguan. Looks like a tough guy! ”

Huang Taiji sneered: "He's a talent." However, the most taboo thing in the Ming court is a bold person like him, so Yuan Chonghuan will not end well! ”

Nurhachi waved his hand and said, "Don't go far! Say how to take Ning Yuan tomorrow! ”

Amin said: "Uncle, don't worry, tomorrow I will lead someone to attack the city in person, and I will definitely be able to break the city!" ”

Amin is proud, but he is indeed brave and good at fighting, and he personally attacked the city, so there should be no problem. At least there is no doubt about the people in the big tent!

Huang Taiji said: "Ningyuan is a lonely city." Since they refused to surrender, it was clear that they were determined to die! Tomorrow's battle should be a bloody battle, so 10,000 horses is not enough! ”

Nurhachi nodded, he was trained according to the heir to the throne of the Khan, so he often adopted his advice.

Dai Shan said: "Then let's attack the city together tomorrow and see who breaks the city first!" ”

Before Huang Taiji could speak, Amin, Azig, and Manggutai burst into flames, and Nurhachi also didn't take Ning Yuan in his eyes and nodded. Said: "Attack the city together tomorrow and see who breaks the city first!" Ben Khan mainly attacked the northern city, Daishan mainly attacked the eastern city, Amin and Azig attacked the southern city, and Huang Taiji and Manggutai attacked the western city! ”

Everyone said in unison: "Regret! ”

Then they each went back to arrange for tomorrow's siege.

※※

Just when Nurhachi and the others were in a meeting. Fifteen miles east of their camp. More than 2,000 ships, large and small, have already assembled on the sea.

Among them were Deng Haonan's twenty 500-ton frigates. More than a dozen warships originally used by Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, most of them were small frigates of three or four hundred tons. The other nearly 2,000 boats were all boaters under the Golden Crown of Juehua Island.

They suddenly appeared here precisely because they received Deng Haonan's order. Na Haonan deliberately used red-coated cannons to force Nurhachi's godson army to retreat to a position close to the sea and set up camp, just to prepare to use fleet artillery to attack the godson's camp at night.

But Deng Haonan forgot that the sea was frozen for more than ten miles at this time, but after the order was conveyed to Shi Jianfei and Jin Guan and others, they had to find a way to get closer.

The sea is hard to freeze. Unless there is a long period of extreme cold conditions, the sea near the north and south levels will freeze. Although the sea near Liaodong is frozen because of the weather of the Xiaoice River, the ice is not thick, and the thickness is uneven, and the waves wash from time to time, and only the coldest time before dawn can it be frozen for several miles. Other times, the ice is thin. Although it can walk on it, it is not enough to block a battleship weighing more than 500 tons.

However, Shi Jianfei led the fleet to storm the ice. By the time we approached the shore for about five miles, it was already completely dark, the temperature dropped, and the ice was thicker. So, the golden crown sent the boat master. Seven thousand sailors were armed with large axes and hammers. With the convenience of the boat, I began to chisel ice in the circumference. At the same time, Shi Jianfei led the fleet, using the fierce north wind to push the sailboats, taking advantage of the momentum of the waves. More than a dozen warships rushed up to the ice in unison, and the ice collapsed.

Thus, by the time midnight came, the fleet was already close to Nurhachi's camp.

"Report! The target is already in range! ”

Lieutenant Shi Jianfei stood on the deck, looking at the brightly lit one-son camp opposite, and thought about Jin Guan beside him: "General Jin, please order your brothers to withdraw!" ”

Jin Guan nodded, and then ordered the colonel to call back all the officers and soldiers of the boat division.

Ready together, Shi Jianfei ordered loudly: "The whole fleet fires!" ”
