Chapter 249: A Somewhat Depressed Artillery
The power of the whole army's dispatch is really not covered, Wang Dalun, who was still leisurely and leisurely before, began to feel pressure, and the ruthless Huang Taiji transferred all the archers out, and began to counter-suppress towards the city under the cover of the big shield.
The archers estimated that they had received a strict order from Huang Taiji, and they did not spare the bows and arrows in their hands at all, as long as they saw someone coming up, a rain of arrows flew over, in this case, not to mention accurate, as long as they could get to the other party's side, it was good.
When Wang Dalun saw it, he also scratched his head a little, it seems that Huang Taiji is ready for the day, and he is ready to fight with himself. Looking at the depressed eyes of the musketeers, Wang Dalun smiled and said: "Okay, you guys should also rest, it's time to let others make some money, everyone else has red eyes on you these days!" ”
Wang Dalun's words were seriously agreed by the other arms, and they shouted: "Those who play with guns, all rest, it's time for us to make a fortune!" ”
The musketeers were very reluctant to rest, leaving only a small number of people to shoot cold. Seeing the musketeers going down, Zhao Guangning was very excited and asked Wang Dalun for instructions: "Dashuai, can we go up?" The brethren are dying of idleness these days! ”
Wang Dalun nodded and said, "Give me a little leisure, don't scare people away for me, otherwise the brothers of the cavalry will find you desperately!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Guangning felt unhappy for a while, just to facilitate the movement of the cavalry, these people were pressed to the side to watch the play, no matter how hot the city was, he was not allowed to go up, and now he finally had a chance, and he was asked not to attack with all his strength, which was really depressing.
But it's the big picture. Although Zhao Guangning was slanderous in his heart, he still nodded honestly and said: "Don't worry, the last general knows it!" ”
"Go ahead!" Wang Dalun nodded and stopped talking. Zhao Guangning saw that Wang Dalun agreed to his request, and began to command the artillerymen to calibrate the firing direction, and after everyone was ready, Zhao Guangning checked everywhere uneasily, and when he saw that everything was in place, he shouted: "Test fire, let's go!" ”
With the sound of cannons. I saw cannonballs over the city walls. Falling to the position where the archers were concentrated, the archers were hiding under their shields, watching the movements on the city, not expecting that the cannonballs would fly out of the city. If they have no defense, they will naturally be tragic. It was blown up by a falling shell.
Wang Dalun looked through the lookout hole. He was very happy to say: "That's it, let them have a good taste of the disaster that fell from the sky!" ”
Zhao Guangning received feedback from the people watching the city, and immediately ordered: "Determine the Zhuyuan according to the marking." Three shots, put! ”
With Zhao Guangning's order, the artillerymen immediately loaded the shells, I have to say, although these field guns are a little less powerful, but the victory lies in the fast loading, the killing range is large, under the operation of the artillery, one shell after another fell from the heads of the archers of the Eight Banners Army, and the archers cried and cried for their mothers.
Wang Dalun saw it and said with great satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad!" It seems that Runtian is still well trained, and these artillerymen are still quite accurate! ”
After Wang Dalun praised the artillery, he saw that the musketeers were still bored leaning against the city, and said very dissatisfiedly: "Won't the infantry and artillery coordinate?" Now that the enemy is in chaos, if you don't attack, how long will you wait? ”
The musketeers began to pick up their muskets and attack the people in the city, only to hear a burst of gunfire, and several archers were knocked to the ground by the musketeers. When Wang Dalun saw it, he said with great satisfaction: "In the future, I will know the way, as soon as the cannon sounds, then attack immediately!" ”
When the cannon sounded, Dolgon, who was directing the archers to suppress the city, was startled, and then he looked and saw several flames rising from the archers' positions attacking the north gate, and then the overwhelming shelling ensued, and the archers were blown to pieces.
Duoduo gloated on the side and said: "It seems that Huang Taiji is going to vomit blood again this time, this Dongjiang army can really bear it, and only at this time did it start to use artillery, and it was still from the city, who is guarding against this!" Two days ago, when I saw that there was no one on the city, I thought they had run out of shells! ”
Dolgon didn't pay attention to Duoduo, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "It seems that Amin lost unjustly, whoever has suffered so many cannons for the first time, there is no reason to be undefeated!" ”
"yes!" Azig agreed on the side: "The power of their cannon is even greater than that of the two Tong Yang brothers!" The Dongjiang Army is really difficult to deal with! ”
Dolgon nodded, his heart was even hotter about the development of firearms troops, although he had never been very interested in the Han people, but he had to admit that there were many more skilled craftsmen among the Han people than the Manchurians, and it seemed that he would have to recruit more Han people to work for him! Firearms troops must have them!
Compared to Dolgon's sigh, Huang Taiji is now starting to go crazy, he didn't expect the other party to suddenly shoot cannons, he didn't see the other party in the city a few days ago, he thought that the other party's cannonballs ran out, but he didn't expect the other party to keep this hand!
"Order the troops to spread out and not huddle together!" In order not to let his archers suffer greater losses, Huang Taiji had to open his mouth and order, compared to killing and wounding the musketeers at the head of the city, the loss of archers made him feel more distressed, is it easy to train a qualified archer?
Zhao Guangning got the feedback from the observer and said happily: "Everyone played well, fight like this, don't let the other party be able to breathe!" ”
The artillerymen were very jubilant, and some people said regretfully: "The marshal only uses ten cannons, if he can fire all of them together, then don't mention the momentum, the other side will be blown up to pieces!" ”
"Yes! Just looking at the money made by those who played with muskets, we were in a hurry! Others simply said what they regretted.
Zhao Guangning couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, his masked face couldn't help but turn red, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Why are you so unproductive, you actually envy those guys who play with guns, your lethality is much greater than theirs, how many shots do you want them to shoot with one shot?" ”
Everyone was talking, only to hear a new order coming down from upstairs, Wang Dalun issued a new order, and now the other party dispersed, asking them to suspend the attack. When everyone heard this, they hurriedly lamented: "Hey, the silver in hand has flown again!" ”
Just when everyone was disappointed, Wang Dalun ordered the old-fashioned mortar cannon to be lifted up and attacked slowly. Everyone was helpless for a while, and they suggested to Zhao Guangning one after another: "General Zhao, you go and talk to the marshal, we only need half of the silver, can we not play with mortars?" ”
"Do you want to disobey the commander's order? Just go! Be careful, and use more iron sand! Beat the tartar like a rabbit! Zhao Guangning said helplessly, the power of this mortar cannon is just like that, not only has a short range, but also a large musket, so it can only hit rabbits.
The selected artillerymen reluctantly carried the mortar on the city wall, they looked at the mortar in front of them, they were really loveless, hey, it was still a new type of artillery, where was it like this, and they had to risk being hit by the archers under the city.
The artillerymen bowed down and began to reload, and when the loading was completed, they looked through the lookout hole, and after determining the target, they began to whisper: "Shout three, one, two, three, hit!" ”
They suddenly raised their heads, and then there was a bang, only to see a fire from the mortar cannon, and then they saw that the Tartar in front of them was hit by the scattered iron sand, what a big piece! But the funny thing is that the tartars that were hit are still alive and kicking, and there is still time to roll on the ground.
Wang Dalun watched it from the side, and couldn't help but complain: "This kind of small cannon is really only suitable for hitting rabbits, this lethality is really painful!" But this also has benefits, killing is more troublesome than killing, and this is still a very troublesome thing to deal with iron sand! ”
The archers under the city tower saw that the other party used a mortar cannon, and felt even more speechless, although this thing is better than the flowering bullet, but if it is really hit, it will make you all over your body, in the era when there are no anti-inflammatory drugs, after being injured, it is simply fighting for your life with Lord Yama.
"Where's the big shield, put it up! Everyone hide, show me the place where the cannon was fired just now, don't let them take the lead, shoot me! The commanding Niu Lu Ezhen began to command loudly.
With his order, I saw that a lot of bows and arrows flew from the place where the cannon had just been fired, and hit the shield that had been prepared for a long time, and the artillerymen said in surprise: "Good boy, so many arrows!" Thanks to you, brothers! ”
The sword and shield men who provided them with cover were very modest, and they said, "No thanks, no thanks!" The commander said, "We will divide half of your silver bounty, so we must protect you so that we can have silver to take!" ”
The artillerymen were speechless for a while, this rabbit can't kill or injure much, and now it's been divided into half, this is really a high risk and low reward! They unconsciously began to miss the new field artillery, how safe that guy is, and he won't be divided into half by people!
Although they complained, the military order could not be disobeyed, and the artillerymen had to continue to risk their lives to fight rabbits, and the enemies under the city fought back and forth, which felt very good-looking. This result is still so-so, both sides have casualties, and Zhao Guangning is distressed to death.
And Wang Dalun watched coldly, did not speak, for Zhao Guangning's order to open all the cannons, Wang Dalun also coldly refused, what he said the most was to insist, the time has not yet come!
Zhao Guangning went down helplessly, he now hoped that the cavalry would move faster than anyone else, so that he could free up his hands to do a big job, like the current way of fighting, it was simply too aggrieved!
"You'd better speed me up, or I'm going to fight for you! Are you cavalry or snails, you haven't reacted at all for so long! Zhao Guangning couldn't help but complain about the cavalry. (To be continued......)
