Chapter 240: The Roar of Civilization
Zhou Yuji and Jian Chen knew the power of these giant beasts, and as for the two people who "suffered" and "bound dripping wax", they had heard of it countless times. This made the two of them not interested in Zhou Huchen's nonsense, but quietly watched the movements of the enemy army, but did not speak, and let Zhou Huchen boast about his great achievements there.
Zhou Qian didn't have the leisure and leisure of others to listen to Zhou Huchen's nonsense, some pressure, and some excitement at the same time, he held the clairvoyant mirror and watched the enemy army in front of him slowly approach.
The firing range of the red-coated cannon that meets the requirements is seven or eight miles, and these seven or eight li are talking about the range, not the absolute power, and the qualified red-coated cannon should be very threatening at a distance of four or five miles, of course, this is talking about the city wall or various ordinary defense facilities.
As for the trenches, Zhou Qian believes that the red-clothed cannon is at most tickling, and even the effect of intimidation is very limited.
Zhou Qian's nervousness stemmed from the pressure that Zhou Huchen gave him, and the most important source of this pressure was the blueprint that Zhou Huchen drew for Zhou Qian; Zhou Huchen wanted to establish many artillery battalions and make artillery the god of war.
Becoming the god of war and becoming the supreme commander of many artillery battalions was Zhou Qian's goal, and this goal attracted him deeply, and this goal did not seem to be far away.
"The enemy army is about to enter Sanli!" A rangefinder reported to Zhou Qian that the enemy had entered a predetermined distance.
At this time, Zhou Huchen had already boasted about his great achievements, and he shouted triumphantly: "Here, you can see it right away, these 'acceptances' are coming!" ”
Countless clairvoyant mirrors were raised, and sure enough, just as Zhou Qian judged, Jiannu stopped, and the Jiannu soldiers who pushed the artillery began to unload the truck and dig the pit according to the predetermined procedure.
"We also have a cannon, isn't this a cannon? Hurry up and reload! Liu Fuzhi couldn't bear it anymore, he was looking forward to Zhou Huchen's giant cannons too much, because the production of these cannons had his credit, and at the same time made him want to see how powerful these giant cannons that had been blown into the sky were.
This kind of beast-like artillery, Liu Fuzhi also can't be named. In his consciousness, the name of the red-clothed cannon was powerful enough, and he called it directly.
It was the first time for Shi Kefa and the others to appreciate the shooting of this giant beast-like artillery, and their previous curiosity made a group of civilian officials begin to approach the giant cannon and observe it in detail. At this time, Zhou Qian looked at Zhou Huchen, but unfortunately Zhou Huchen held a clairvoyant mirror and just watched the enemy army busy, and didn't pay attention to him at all.
Ignoring it means letting Zhou Qian command by himself, and Zhou Huchen wants to watch the excitement.
Zhou Qian no longer hesitated, he pulled out the battle knife on his waist: "Ready!" ”
Preparation means loading, and the gunners who received the order quickly got up, and they jumped up like rabbits and ran towards their guns. Then the civilian officials in the vicinity quickly ducked, and they hindered the movement of the soldiers.
The soldiers were very efficient, they did their part, one soldier came to the muzzle of the cannon, his hand was a large bamboo tube, this bamboo tube was very unique, the soldier easily opened a plug on the bamboo tube, and then poured gunpowder directly into the chamber; The bamboo barrel quickly left the muzzle, and another soldier stretched out his pounding wood to tamp the gunpowder. Then, another soldier put in a huge long projectile (which Zhou Huchen had improved), and the soldier who was tamping the gunpowder turned into a projectile pusher, and he stretched out the pounding wood
The process of reloading is too fast. Fast and dazzling, the whole reloading process was completed as a soldier placed primers and arquebuses in the fire door.
It was nothing short of a reloading artillery show, and its high efficiency once again shocked the people of Scofa.
It's still show time. Zhou Qian raised his sword proudly, and at this time, the school gunner had already adjusted the artillery. The soldier in charge of the command flag also held a pennant aloft.
For the steel behemoth commanded by Zhou Qian, the distance of three miles is too close, and the amount of gunpowder is the smallest, and if this distance plus the advantage of numbers can't kill the enemy's artillery, Zhou Qian can go to the river.
Zhou Qian's war knife is about to fall, eat a trench and grow wise, Zhou Huchen took out two cotton balls to block his ears like a trick, Zhou Yuji seemed to understand, his action of taking out cotton balls to block his ears was only a little slower than Zhou Huchen.
Zhou Qian's war knife flashed in the sunlight, and then fell, and the soldier in charge of holding the command flag fell down the pennant in his hand.
The fire rope was ignited, Shi Kefa and the others still had some knowledge, and knew that the artillery was sometimes dangerous, so they hurriedly retreated a few steps.
The soldier who lit the arquebus quickly moved his steps away, and there was a loud bang
Thirty giant beasts were fired almost at the same time, this was a roar like the sky and the earth cracking, the earth shook violently, this was the roar of civilization, the roar of knowledge, and the roar of Zhou Huchen.
Zhou Huchen held the clairvoyant mirror, and he calmly looked at the enemy three miles away.
I am afraid that most of these people are Han Chinese, and these scum who have forgotten their ancestors will become minced meat, and Zhou Huchen does not doubt his judgment at all.
In the first shelling, Zhou Qian allocated two projectiles to each of the enemy's red-coated cannons, and these huge black shadows fell headlong with their unique arcs, with whistling, anger, hatred, and its power.
Shi Kefa couldn't hear anything, there seemed to be thousands of Mingzen chirping in his ears at the same time, Shi Kefa was like this, Wei Yinwen was like this, and Zhou Huchen's staff Liu Fuzhi was also like this, except for those gunners and commanders who were prepared for the sound of artillery, as long as they didn't block their ears, these people without exception enjoyed the devastation brought by the roar of dozens of heavy artillery at the same time.
And Ye Yinzhi was even more exaggerated, the Zhou Yuji military supervisor who had always been cautious sat on the ground.
The fall of the projectile caused chaos in the busy enemy army, Zhou Huchen saw fear on the faces of these people, a Jiannu soldier who was still wearing the uniform of the Ming army was directly hit by the projectile, and a huge blood hole appeared in the soldier's upper body, and before Zhou Huchen saw the blood gushing, greater fear followed. The projectiles that landed exploded in an instant, and these explosions were not neat, but the projectiles weighing more than a dozen catties exploded, and the power was too strong.
This is the roar of civilization, the broken limbs of the enemy army fly up like broken puppets, Zhou Huchen saw that an enemy army's red-coated cannon was directly blown up, although it did not fly high, but it was enough to show the incomparable power of the flowering bomb.
There was no suspense, only one artillery bombardment was used, and most of the red-coated artillery that Jiannu relied on to attack was killed.
Zhou Huchen was very satisfied, he could not ask the gunners of this era to be absolutely accurate, and this shelling was already very ideal.
The Ming gunners quickly ran to their guns, and they continued to do their duty, and the soldiers began to reload again according to the artillery specifications.
Zhou Huchen put down the clairvoyant mirror, there was no need to look at it, Jiannu's red-clothed cannon became a joke, and like their navy, it became a stepping stone for Zhou Huchen to become famous.
Finally remembering the people who were put on his own side, Zhou Huchen turned around, fortunately, Shi Kefa didn't look angry, he was stunned by the huge sound of artillery. Zhou Huchen's turn made him react, Shi Kefa picked up the clairvoyant mirror that fell on the ground, fortunately, the clairvoyant mirror was not broken, and Shi Kefa couldn't wait to run to the trench.
The rest of the people also understood that this roar was nothing, the temporary deafness of the ears was nothing, the key was the battle situation, what happened to the enemy's red-coated artillery?
Just when Shi Kefa and the others had some understanding of the situation outside and had feelings, Zhou Huchen didn't care whether everyone could hear it or not, he shouted: "The artillery is about to be fired again, please plug your ears!" Otherwise, it will be a little unjust to deaf your ears! ”
Zhou Huchen can be regarded as a kindness, this joke can't be continued, just enjoy it, otherwise he is afraid that Zhou Yuji will not spare him. (To be continued......)
