"Full fire, fuck it!"

As the cannon of Qian cannon sounded, three flaming red flags were raised on the flat gatehouse, and then the swan horn sounded.

Anderson. Hearing the sound of the horn, the three guns turned their heads to look at the three flags on the leveling gatehouse, and then gave the order to fire the cannon with a flat expression.

The gunners of all kinds of artillery in the turrets, which had already been ready, immediately began to operate excitedly when they heard the order. The cannons were already in place, and they all targeted the Qingyu artillery array.

"Gun No. 1 ready!"

"Gun No. 2 ready!"

"Gun No. 3 ready!"

Anderson. When the third artillery heard the report below, he walked up to Fu Shan and saluted and reported loudly.

"Heavy Artillery Battalion Deputy Commander Anderson. The three artillery guns reported to the Lord of the town that the 120 guns of the 1st artillery group were all ready, locked on the enemy's eastern artillery position, ready to open fire at any time, and asked for orders! ”

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

Two artillery groups and four artillery battalions, a total of 240 cannons opened fire at the same time, and on the turrets on the city wall south of Liaoyang, bursts of orange fireworks flashed, and then the thunderous sound of the sky cracking sounded, and then clouds of black smoke dispersed on the top of the city.

Two artillery groups of one hundred and twenty cannons each, each of which had four 4-pounder, two 8-pounder, one 12-pounder short cannon, and four 4-pounder, two 8-pounder, and one 12-pounder long cannon.

In addition, there are four 4-pound and two 8-pound, one 12-pound cannon, and four 24-pound and 32-pound cannons.

6-inch grenade three-door, 8-inch grenade two-door.

There are also three 8-inch mortars, two 10-inch and two 12-inch mortars.

Solid iron bullets, large stone bullets, grenade shotguns, and other shells roared out at once.

For a time, the heavens and the earth changed color.

As soon as the artillery group of the Chu army was powerful, the Qing army was immediately stunned. At this time, Dolgon was eating beef jerky under his white blue dragon flag, and the vicinity of Liaoyang had already been cleared by the Ming army. Haizhou was also deserted, and Dolgon's army still ate the grain brought from Jinzhou.

The dry and hard beef jerky is unpalatable to death, very stuffed teeth, and it is not digested after eating. Dorgon would rather eat human flesh than eat it every day. At the beginning, they surrounded the Daling River, and Zu Dashou's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses ate all the chickens, ducks, cows, horses, mice, snakes and insects in the city in a few months, and finally ate more than 20,000 people and people. It is said that in ancient times, there were often people used as military food, and many northern tribes invaded the south, often killing Han people and salting them as military food. Call the Han people two-legged sheep.

In fact, when Dolgon ate beef jerky, he had the idea of catching a few Han people to slaughter and eat fresh, but now southern Liaoning has completely become a no-man's land, except for breaking Liaoyang City, or go to take Jinzhou Lushun, otherwise don't want to find a living person.

When Liaoyang City is taken, you may want to consider killing two young Han people to try it out and see how the two-legged sheep taste. He thought to himself as he chewed on the beef jerky.

And then at this very time. The sky changed color and thundered.

As soon as he heard the terrifying sound, Dolgon knew that it was the artillery of the Chu army that had opened fire. Then he compared the momentum of the artillery group when he attacked Jinzhou, and his heart jumped suddenly.

Because he recalls the scene. It's not as loud as it is today. It's not that it's not so big, it's that it doesn't even have half of today's momentum.

A third may not be at all.

Then he suddenly thought of the information on the artillery fire of the Chu army that he had seen before, and the Chu army had an artillery battalion for every 5,000 people. There are sixty cannons, all of which are Hongyi cannons. In addition, the infantry also had four light guns per company, although they were called light guns. But it can send solid iron bullets ranging from 369 catties to 3500 paces away.

At the time, Dorgon was completely unconvinced, believing it to be an exaggeration.

In particular, those scouts didn't even know how to lie, saying that this kind of light cannon was only 55 pounds light, and only 100 pounds heavy, and it could be disassembled, and two mules could be loaded, and three mules could transport a cannon with guns and shells. The firing range is three or five hundred paces, and the power is no less than a thousand catties of Hongyi cannons.

In particular, they even said that their cannons could not only fire iron balls, but also explosive bombs, and they could explode when they flew overhead.

How could it be, he didn't believe it at all at the time.

But now, Dolgon, regretted why he didn't believe it.

There are really cannons that can shoot more than 100 catties of large iron balls and large stone shells, and there are also explosive bombs that can be fired above the head before exploding.

But it's too late to regret it.

Dolgon's two artillery positions were completely covered by the heavy artillery fire of the Chu army at this time.

On the two artillery positions of the Qing army, many of them had just spent most of the day unloading the cannons from the carts and pushing them to the designated positions, pushing the tractors to the back, pulling the ammunition trucks to the front, and all kinds of artillery tools were also arranged.

The artillery commanders of each cannon were adjusting their gun positions and began to gesture against the Liaoyang city wall, and after preparing to rest for a while, they would first test fire a cannon from Liaoyang City.

But at this moment, the Chu army suddenly opened full artillery fire.

The gunners of the Qing army were all dumbfounded.

They were gunners, and therefore knew a little more about artillery than Dorgon, but they listened to the roaring roar that filled their ears, and watched the dazzling clouds of fire, smoke, and cannonballs scurrying in the sky with sparks.

and those large cannonballs that could be seen from a distance, they were dumbfounded.

What a cannon this is?

"This is a historic moment, this is an artillery duel!" Anderson said excitedly, looking at the remnants of the cannonballs flying in the sky, he seemed to be looking at a beautiful meteor shower, and even couldn't help but make a wish to them: I hope that one day in the future, I can become the artillery standard of the Chu army and become a guerrilla general of the Eastern Empire.

The Manchu princes and Baylors all had a stinky problem, that is, they were overly superstitious about the power of mounted archery.

Even if Huang Taiji discovered the power of firearms back then, he also established Wuzhen Chaoha and was equipped with many guns, but this Wuzhen Chaoha was a Han army.

After seeing the power of the concentrated use of artillery in Liaoxi, Dolgon also built an artillery unit with the captured artillery. This artillery, Dolgon reused the name Wuzhen Chaoha, which had been abandoned after the expansion into the Han Four Banners, this artillery had a strength of 5,000 people, including gunners who operated the cannons, and drivers who were responsible for transporting the cannons, as well as shield soldiers and gunners who specialized in guarding the artillery.

However, this new Wuzhen Chaoha is still a Han army. Not only are the gunners basically Han soldiers and captured Ming Dynasty gunners, but even those in charge of transportation are all Han people, and the shield soldiers and gunners who guard them are also Han soldiers.

In the final analysis, Dolgon just regarded artillery as an auxiliary arm of the Eight Banners, helping the Eight Banners break through the enemy's city defenses and light the enemy's formation.

Such an idea was originally correct, the Han people operated the cannon, the Eight Banners rode and shot, and the two cooperated to show their strengths. But what he didn't expect was that such a preparation also had a big flaw.

Those Xinwu Zhenchaoha, composed of clothed minions, prisoners of war, and Han troops, had limited training and a weak will to fight, especially since they were not willing to fight to the end for the Manchus.

In the overwhelming bombardment, the first reaction of this newly built Wuzhen Chaoha was to run.

It is a pity that this artillery unit is too new, and the training is insufficient, and not only the artillery is not good, but also many details are not done well. And history has long taught us that details determine success or failure.

If it's Anderson. The third cannon is the main general of Wuzhen Chaoha, and he will kick these men one by one.

Each cannon has to be at least three feet away, don't you know that your cannon can hit the enemy, and the enemy's cannon must be able to hit you. You put the cannons so densely, is it because the artillery fire is more concentrated and powerful? Then don't you know that the artillery fire is too concentrated, and the enemy will bombard it with one shot, and it is likely that two artillery groups will be destroyed with one shot?

Also, what the hell do you put the tractor to the side when you use it, so that you can drag the gun cart to a farther place behind, and can't you lead the horse to a farther place to feed water and grass? Don't you especially accumulate virtue, the sharper the cannon, the heavier it becomes, and the more dependent you are on towing artillery carts and pulling horses?

You throw the tractor and the horse right behind the artillery, don't you know that this will make them a priority target for the enemy's artillery? Without the tractor and the horse, these three or five thousand pounds of cannons, plus one or two thousand pounds of gun carriages, do you have to carry them yourself or carry them?

Also, the most important point is that you are so unafraid of death that you pull the ammunition truck to the side of the cannon, so you are not afraid of accidentally going off the fire or something. Even if you are careful not to misfire, you are not afraid that the enemy's artillery will target your ammunition trucks?

The solid big iron bullet is not afraid of exploding, and it can't be damaged, but there is still a gunpowder cannon on the Nima car. If one shot hits the ammunition truck, it is equivalent to another shot, or even two or three shots.

The detonation of the ammunition truck is much stronger than the shells fired from afar.

It's a pity that no one told these amateur gunners with half a bucket of water, and An San Cannon certainly wouldn't tell them, and he would let his men keep an eye on the enemy's ammunition trucks now.

It's completely within the firing range, and it's not afraid of death that it's placed with the cannon, and all the gun trucks, tractors, and ammunition trucks are fucking close next to each other. The gunners, the drivers, the shieldmen, the gunners, thousands of people were all crammed there.

Are you in a hurry?

The Hydra Artillery Battalion is not a vegetarian, it is the best gunner today, they also operate the most sophisticated and advanced artillery today, and the shells they shoot are all at the world's leading level.

The ammunition truck was hit, and it was so dense, so far forward, it was difficult not to hit.

The ammunition trucks exploded, the ammunition trucks rumbled and exploded, the iron bullets and scattered bombs on the vehicles splashed and bounced everywhere, and the gunners, drivers, and gunners who were not in armor were extremely fragile and were mercilessly harvested.

The cannon fell apart, and the small cannon even smashed into the sky.

The gunners fell, the horses fell, the tractors fell, Dolgon's new Uzhen Chaoha battalion collapsed, and his thousand cannons were finished. (To be continued.) )
