The power of a country is not a casual joke, although the Qing army can not create too many red-coated cannons, but the integration of the outstanding craftsmen of the northern provinces to make a strict effort to build firearms, the past six months are equipped a lot, a total of more than 20,000 shotguns have been sent to the front-line army for delivery. Although this number is a bit small in Geng Jingzhong's opinion, this is already the greatest achievement of the Qing court. The number of craftsmen gathered in many provinces under the control of the Qing court in the north is not a few, and under the full force of building, there are still four or five thousand per month, after all, the difficulty of building a shotgun is not so great, as long as the quality is strictly controlled, it is useless to use, and the power is not small.

This point was also discovered by Qing officers and soldiers after the shotgun was created. This batch of shotguns is not like the former Ming Chongzhen period, although Xuanda and other border armies are also equipped with a lot of muskets, that is, the shotguns that are now equipped with the Qing army, but the shotguns were shoddy when they were built, the iron is not good iron, the work is not good work, and the officials are greedy for ink and silver, so it is strange that the shotguns made can be used well. And this time, the Qing army was also forced into a corner, and Kangxi gave a death order, and sent cronies to inspect and spot check in turn.

Therefore, this batch of shotguns made by the Qing army. Accidents with exploding chambers are rare. Occurs occasionally. It is also the Qing army that is not skilled in the use of gunpowder, and it is only when it is loaded with gunpowder that it is directed, so during this period of time, with the continuous delivery and use of muskets, it has also been welcomed by the Qing army on the front line, so all the armies on the front line have constantly urged the imperial court to increase its efforts to make bird guns. On the Jiangnan side, although the army is only one-tenth of the total strength of Yuyang, Wuhan, and Jingzhou. However, because of the importance of Jiangnan, 4,000 shotguns were distributed here two months ago, and after two months of use, they are still very proficient.

It's just that the range of the shotgun is still problematic, and the rate of fire is not fast, and it can only be formed in a three-stage formation to form a power. Therefore, the Qing army basically did not use bird guns in the siege battle, and it was not as convenient as using bows and arrows to shoot while standing under the Cheng Tower. And it's a lot faster with a bow and arrow. The Qing army was also frightened to deal with the Mawei Army this time, and the strength of Jiashan County had completely shrunk. More than 20,000 Qing troops were left to defend the camp and the county seat, and the other more than 30,000 Qing troops were all planted here.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can also get a rough idea, in the National Day military parade in later generations, a phalanx is 3560 people, then these more than 30,000 people are hundreds of such phalanxes. However, at this moment, the phalanx of the Qing army is not like the phalanx of the military parade in later generations, here each phalanx has about 2,000 tadpoles, a total of 17 phalanxes, and the Mawei Army, there are more than 20,000 people participating in the battle, a battalion is a phalanx, a total of more than 20 phalanxes, Zeng Yangxing personally sat in the center, and the war between the two armies was about to break out.

"Is the cannon ready?" Zeng Yangxing asked the guards beside him.

"Back to the general, the artillery battalion is already preparing in a hurry, and I think it should be at this time to report." The guard beside him hurriedly replied.

"That's good!" Zeng Yangxing nodded and said that the actions of the artillery battalion were okay, and at this moment, news came from the artillery battalion, and they were all ready, and they were waiting for the general's order.

"What are you waiting for, this distance is completely beneficial to us, give me enough strength to open the artillery, and let the Qing army taste the power of our artillery!" Zeng Yang commanded with a wave of his hand. Yesterday, the cavalry of the Qing army suffered heavy losses, and this has not yet learned a lesson.

"Reload!" "Ready" "Fire!! ”

The phalanx of the Mawei Army stands at the front of the Mawei Army only 1,200 or 300 meters, so this one is exactly the best range of the Mawei Army's army artillery, and for the Qing army, although they now have more than a dozen red-coated cannons, but at this moment, more than 1,000 meters, the Qing army's red-coated cannons really can't hit that far! The difference between cannons and cannons is a great joy,

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

The gunners of the Mawei Army did not stop, and the vast majority of the first round of the twelve-pounder general's cannon was flowering shells, and many flowering shells smashed down one after another at the Qing army's array. The first round of shells was aimed at the musket array of the Qing army, but most of the shells did not hit the musket array, but most of them hit other infantry teams not far away, which immediately caused a wave of confusion. Tula, the commander of the Qing army, also saw a thrilling scene - at this moment, he was watching in horror as the cannonballs fired in the distance on the opposite side flew over the infantry phalanx in front of him with smoke and fell straight down here!

"Oops!" This thought had just flashed through his mind, and the first flowering shell had already smashed down on the side of the Qing army. A cannonball fell not far from the position of the command platform where he was, and after the shell landed, there was a violent explosion, and there were more than a dozen of them that hit solid shells, and these dozen or so solid shells were more able to get it, as early as in the Qing military formation, and then bounced and flew towards the team behind.

One of the cannonballs almost broke a cannon-pulling horse in two, and then the bloody cannonball jumped up and brought several people to the ground, leaving a ground of stumps and flesh. Then a few more shells landed in the ranks. The entire phalanx of firearms of the Qing army shouted horses and neighed cows, and the horses and frightened cattle scurried in the ranks, mercilessly trampling the wounded soldiers to the ground. The cannon fell to the ground, and one of the artillery trucks was directly hit by the shells, and even the cannon body was beaten to the ground on its back, and then it fell down heavily, smashing several unlucky people of the Qing army to the point of bursting their brains. The gun carriage, which was so strong and bulky, was only scratched by a flying shell that fell apart.

Fortunately, the rapid fire of the Mawei Army's twelve-pounder guns did not last too long, and the commander of Tula was worried about it now. There were also the most valuable and powerful Hongyi cannons in his firearms battalion phalanx, which had been beaten to pieces. Some were broken in two, some cracked, some were destroyed, and the cannons were sunk deep into the mud. It took a lot of manpower to dig out the artillery.

Tula already knew that the enemy's artillery fire was far beyond his own, and knew that he could no longer fight his own artillery and fired closer, so he immediately ordered to set up a formation, and the 4,000-pound cannon that could fire two-cent ammunition shells was ready. The Qing army's Hongyi cannon can theoretically reach as far as three miles, but at that distance, the cannonballs are estimated to be missed. But it's hard to say what will hit.

"The Qing army also opened fire!" The observation post is sending a message. The front-line sergeants were a little nervous, but they saw that a dozen or so black shadows had broken through the smoke and had already flown towards here, but these dozen or so shells fell one after the other on a long distance from the battle formation, only stirring up a large amount of soil. Then several shells flew, one bouncing on the ground a few times, but it still did not fall into the formation.

Soon, the location of several artillery guns of the Qing army was also found by the Mawei army, and the ranging showed that they opened fire at a position of almost nearly a thousand meters. "It's so far away, it seems that the effective range of the Hongyi cannon can't be reached at all." The Qing army general drove very fast, as if to confirm his words, the Qing army's more than a dozen Hongyi cannons did fire several cannons in a row, but none of the shells hit the Mawei army's large array, and the distance between the two sides here was indeed too far. This blossom bomb is the same as the current grenade, but at the moment there is no such ban, but for the time being, the Qing army on the opposite side is still more powerful because of the realization of men's singles!

The gunners of the Qing army were also in a hurry, seeing that the shells had not even touched the enemy's soil after the shells were fired, they shouted loudly: "Add me a little more gunpowder!" ”

And the gunners of the Qing army had already filled the most gunpowder according to the number of their rulers, and now they heard that they had to add the medicine, of course, they were all shocked. Because cannon explosions were a common thing in the army at that time, although the quality of the red-coated cannon was high-quality, the result would be the same. Once the cannon bursts, it will be difficult for the surrounding gunners to survive even if they are not killed on the spot.

"Fill the pill!" The adjutant general of the Qing army drew his saber and slashed into the air, "Violator - behead!" ”

Under the threat of decapitation, the gunners had no choice but to grit their teeth and add a third more gunpowder. In order to show that he was not afraid of overcharging, the lieutenant general personally lit the magnifying cannon. The four-thousand-pound Hongyi cannon burst out with a loud bang, and the heavy artillery carriage almost jumped backwards, but the shells were still shot out, and this wave of shells was really hit far away, and the Mawei Army not only recruited three in the phalanx, but also suffered casualties immediately. However, it was here in the artillery array of the Qing army, because the gunpowder was too fake, and the sequelae also came, the adjutant general and the two soldiers who couldn't dodge around him were immediately hit by the huge force of the red-clothed cannon and fell to the ground spitting blood and died.
